When Bloomberg was founded, Michael Bloomberg was a politician yet. He was a man trying to make money.
clearing out the methane is the problem. you really, really don't want it to clear out, you want it to stay frozen under the arctic permafrost. the problem is if the ice that's currently keeping all that methane sequestered melts, it releases the gas. We need to drastically reduce our greenhouse gas emissions from other sources to curb global warming and keep all that gas frozen away.

No, that wasn't my intended claim. I'm not saying that the problem is just racial discrimination I'm saying that often how people are selected for colleges and jobs biases towards certain groups. Colleges want volunteering, lots of AP tests, and a high ACT for example and while anyone can do well at those some people, often through little fault of their own, have a much harder or easier time getting those things. If you select on those you are selecting not only for intelligence (which makes sense) but also how affluent their parents were and how much their community valued education (neither of which they would have control over). I'm not saying that everyone is racist, just that ignoring all the implicit biases seems illogical to me.
Just checked and it worked on my Android's Chrome too. Any details on what the error message says?
So they are basically paying people, in potentially worthless shares, in order to stop being sued. I guess that makes sense because if they are sued then the shares will definitely become worthless. This is a cunning move but I would never accept it as an investor. Why accumulate even more shares in a dodgy company when suing might actually result in real cash you can actually spend.
Are there competitors/shanzhaied versions out yet? A cursory google search of MEMS nir specs turns up a few hits.
The article you posted is light on details. But as I read it, the research was a multi-channel approach on normal fiber. So in that case, it would be a question of upgrading the equipment connected on either end (though you'd also probably need short hops between equipment to keep SNR high in such a scheme.)

For your

> will be a panacea to that which ails the middle class.

IIRC, Trump's campaign statement
was "Jobs, Jobs, Jobs." Each time
I heard him say that, I
wondered, what kind of jobs,
for how much money?

All I could think of was that
OHSA, unions, various labor
laws and inspections, and,
then, likely most important
of all, lawyers suing companies
that have injured workers,
would largely determine
what kinds of jobs and for
how much.

On the "how much" part,
broadly we will have to
continue to use the
old forces of supply and
demand: Or, with enough new
manufacturing jobs,
there will be a worker shortage.
Then there will be more robots
and better trained and paid
workers to run the robots.

From the figure that the US
has 90+ million people who
could work not working,
I suspect that the US is now
essentially digging itself out
of a big, black hole that it
never should have gotten
into in the first place.

IMHO, nearly all of Trump's
campaign statements are
simplistic in the extreme
(I make this as something
easy to observe and relevant
but without a value judgment
except that maybe such
simplicity can be effective
political speech making).
But, maybe he is correct
about manufacturing: Maybe
to dig out of the hole the US
needs to have a lot of the
90+ million working in factories.
I would hope for better than that.

That factory work chews up people is a 100+ years old story.
Maybe with enough in robots,
good employers, etc. factory work
can be made humane. Maybe
the situation is better at, say,
Boeing or Lockheed.

To me, that factories result
in lost fingers, limbs, and worse
is such an old story that there
is little or no excuse for such
things now. Lawyers that
have laws suits that specify
$1 million per finger should
get the safety switches installed,
the inspections done, the
oil leaks fixed, etc.

IIRC, there are cases where the
CEOs are saying that
there are big shortages of
well qualified, e.g., trained,
workers. Of course, maybe
the CEOs just want the
taxpayers to pay for the
training. Whatever, if
training is needed, then
it stands to be the case that
the workers will be more
highly valued by the CEOs.

We don't want bad situations.
Maybe if nearly all of us are smarter from our
educations, jobs, political
participation, etc., we can do
better.

For Bloomberg, both the person and apparently the publication, apparently they don't much like
Trump. Mike Bloomberg has
given $100+ million to
medical research and education
at Johns Hopkins University
so is a good guy in at least
some respects! Maybe he
was on balance a good mayor
of NYC. Of course, in NYC he
was for (A) rules to reduce
salt in restaurant food, (B)
rules to forbid selling
really large sugar sweetened
soft drinks, and (C)
putting wind turbines on the
tops of the buildings in NYC.
Gee, Mike, all those wind
turbines -- would look like
some hideous scene from
a Gothic Batman movie!
Maybe Mike just wanted the
wind turbines only on the
tops of Trump's buildings?
Countries like Norway/Iceland could get significantly colder if the gulfstream stops from arctic melts, which seems likely. Maybe this will improve in time but in the short-term this could be a real problem.

Somewhere like NZ is a better bet. Being remote with no land borders could be an advantage if there is significant global upheaval.

Absolutely. The end of the first paragraph: "Without home loans, the average balance was $12,875"

This is still debt, but is vastly different. I have a revolving balance of a couple thousand a month on my credit cards, which is probably also included here. It's also clearly not counting any assets, so this is the equivalent of your final bills - The amount taken from your estate when you die. It's probably a real chunk from most estates, and probably includes the reposession of cars and major property, but it's not like every family heirloom is going to be taken if you can't pay up $50+k after your grandma's funeral.
Yes, someone pointed out it isn't rising with incomes but instead access to debt. I agree that's more accurate - tuitions have risen to maximally extract the middle class's access to debt.

If you made student loans defaultable, suddenly they would lose much access to this debt, and tuition would fall.

My points about aid and tax breaks on tuition not working still apply.
Why not paper ballots? The trust is greater (you can't hack a piece of paper), it's idiot proof, can be counted electronically and hand counted in the case of dispute or even as part of procedure.

And much easier to expand to more polling stations as you don't need any voting machines on site. Just paper and a secure box to put it in.
One might assume their business model involves collecting lots of data + using it to build their own in-house models for sale to corporations, or just selling it raw?

Tracking systems with moving parts are expensive and complicated. With good quality 320W panels at $0.45/watt now in pallet quantities, going with a low cost fixed mounting system (whether ground or roof) makes much more economic sense. Considering the wind loading that a two axis tracking system which can hold 6x280W panels must endure, no wonder they cost a lot.

Article is about free access to bio/med research. Some thoughts:

Would love to see rate of adoption of new standards of evidence based medical care as a function of institutional access to top journals or simply Uptodate (the tool people actually use nowadays). Access to curated guidelines may be more clinically important than primary lit.

One reason prestigious journals are great is you get the imprimatur of success for further funding/promotion without needing to wait for citations and scientific consequence. Perhaps an opensource analytics team will over time convert the community to other metrics like reads, shares, and other h-factoresque metrics (granted all are contrived and gamable to some degree), perhaps tied to some funding consequences. Cough, ResearchGate, cough.

Regarding thread title:
The small number of good medical findings are disseminated far too slowly; the large number of irreproducible, contradictory, poorly supported, and statistically misinterpreted findings are disseminated far too quickly. Couldn't resist.
I would have to disagree, it may be the best of breed but thats not saying much.
You're only considering grid tie when you say that a system won't really pay for itself in ten years. For off grid solar there are a number of places (example: very rural parts of ID and WA) where it might cost $40,000 to extend code compliant grid electricity from the nearest road to a new bare land property. And that is before you pay any monthly bills for ten years. Versus spending $35,000 one time on a big ground mounted solar system, charge controllers and a set of Tesla power wall 2 for battery storage.

Cost and efficiency also hugely impacts developing nation solar (most of rural Africa) where no grid whatsoever currently exists.
Not the "per region" part, that just seems silly.
Often something is bad for more than one reason.

"Hi, I'm a middle aged man. I would love to hang around with school aged girls in my spare time. Where do I sign up?"

Ironically, we may yet see a renaissance in native code as more investors realize that the US broadband situation (especially wireless) is not getting better anytime soon. This leads to the realization that always-on, high-speed, low-latency broadband is not a safe assumption. Disconnected operation will become more important as the product space for always-on solutions becomes ever-more crowded.

This realization that always-connected apps might be joined by disconnected apps is emphasized when looking to markets across the world. There are more disconnected people in the world than always-on, high-speed, low-latency connected. There is a burgeoning middle class characterized by sporadic, low-speed, high-latency connections, who are willing to spend some money online, for those times they make it online. They might spend pennies each today, but whoever captures those markets is addressing billions of underserved online customers. I'd take a billion $0.01 payments a day any day.
The article implies that he definitely knows the password to unlock the drives but chooses not to do so. In that case it seems reasonable that you can put someone in jail until they comply, because you know that they can comply should they choose to do so. I assume he is thinking that the judge will have to let him go eventually, and the time he will have served will be less than the jail time imposed for the material that would be found on the drive. He might be wrong in the calculation!

It would have been more interesting if he had claimed to have forgotten the password. Even though no one would believe he had really forgotten it, you are then placing someone in jail indefinitely until they do something that they claim is impossible to comply with.

Can you jail someone for refusing to comply with a request that is not possible for them to comply with? I would suggest it is not moral to do that.

But the fact everyone knows he really can comply, but you cannot prove that he can comply, adds the interesting complication.

You can, but it's worth pointing out that cars don't really run on the Carnot cycle because, unlike your air conditioner, they're not reversible. Usually they use something like the Otto cycle. To improve efficiency you can change your cycle or push the limits (temperature, compression ratio, etc.). The current generation Prius apparently uses an Atkinson cycle and achieves 40% efficiency. Some F1 engines notably have a thermal efficiency of 47%.

> Humans have physiological limits no matter how hard you twist the psychological ones!

People will push themselves to the brink of death (and beyond, sometimes) when given a choice between meeting a quota and not having a job. The quota can be unreasonable, as long as the company is constantly firing poor performers and training new people.

The gamification is serious business. Any button the company can push, any knob they can twist, any game they can get you to play to get you to work faster, and shave another second off your time, they will push and twist and play.
Of course you can hack a piece of paper. You can add more pieces, add misleading pieces, fake pieces, etc. And even with a secure box, there's always the risk of conspiracy to remove votes.

Do I think this kind of thing happens? No. But encryption could be used to make the trust of voting even better, if done correctly. This would allow secrecy of votes, the ability to verify the validity of a vote without seeing who they voted for, and the ability to bundle the votes together and hash them, for example.

Paper scales great, until you need to collect and retain it.

You cannot make it "easier enough" to satisfy Uber. New Zealand requires only that you have a P endorsement to your license to be a commercial driver. That requires a police background check and a medical certificate. Uber refuses to comply with that minimum requirement.

> You realize that no X client draws like this nor has for 20 years right? They all use xshm to upload pixels [...]

You seem to be misinformed. Of the applications I mentioned, the main ones (gitk, xterm, emacs, xosview) are not doing that; seen clearly by analysing the X traffic.

Of course, some of these could be built with an optional Qt front-end, in which case I would not be surprised.

So you stated clearly "all" applications (for "20 years") which is provably incorrect; and I home in on this because it's a recurrence of another 'well, you never had it before' argument (that really might be better directed at the decaying state of X11 client toolkits)

X11 isn't perfect, I have no doubt something better can be engineered (especially if it involves those who worked on X11). But people are missing the point that to replace X11 is a different matter from designing a better one. It involves acknowledging those who are quietly and successfully using X11 on a daily basis for the majority of their work and existing applications -- not telling us how wrong we are.

I don't imagine that perceptions of women's worth in those parts of the world would have a chance to change if not for women standing up and chasing for their human rights. Just like in the western world, women are constantly (much to my dismay hehe) proving that they are capable of contributing to society in many of the same ways as men.

Simply aiming for equilibrium when a system is so horribly out of whack will not have the same impact as an aggressive flipping of the system on its head.
