As far as I know, many agricultural water rights came attached to the land they bought and for a specific purpose. I don't know how specific it must be though so I'm not sure if you can go from growing almonds to brewing beer.
You need to find what are the stable equilibriums with - or in the worst case without - a biosphere. +7C-8C, if it's the peak, is most probably survivable for the biosphere as a whole, because we know that this happened before (permian triassic boundary).

However, there's a very important distinction here: The permian triassic boundary conditions did not arise coming abruptly out of an ice age. An ice age after a warm period leads to lots of methane being stored, and it's reasonable to assume that the current methane storage is much larger than at the permian triassic (oh, did I mention that that was already an extinction event, probably the worst we know about?).

All in all it's not completely out of the question that an abrupt release of enough methane could lead to a Venus syndrome, and thus the complete sterilisation of the planet.

There is little diversity to be gained from black engineers. Black engineers end up in the category of another nerdy American.

This is very good - I've never seen a RNN-for-speech-in-Tensorflow model before.

Note, though that the real problem here is the lack of training data.

In a recent podcast I heard that the Baidu speech recognition team uses "small models" of 10,000 hours of speech. I forget how big the production quality models were, but it was at least 5 times that.

This model uses ~1500 hours[1]. It's very impressive it does as well as it does just using that.

You're right about the meaning of 'native', but if you expect to have a 'reasonable expectation of performance' just because an app is written as a native binary, you may be sorely disappointed. There are plenty of poorly performing native applications out there, and it's also certainly possible to write minimal, fast HTML/CSS/JavaScript.
40 years is kind of nothing in terms of geological time.

It's definitely an outlier but trend following has two different schools, that the trend will continue forever, or that the trend will revert to the mean. I'm in the camp that things will revert to mean for things like this, just like how California drought recovered so violently. I guess time will tell.
The problem is that this can happen at anytime. As a user of OpenSSL, I have no guarantee that a contributor won't, at some point in the future, decide to sue over this. Once that happens, I would have to remove their contributions from my copy [0], or risk being sued. Further, if enough time passes, and there are contributions under the new license, I would have to comply with both licences (which are incompatible).

The core problem here is not that they are changing the license. It is that it is now not clear what license is actually in effect; and it could very possibly end up being both.

The upside to this is that no one enforces these licenses anyway.

[0] Which might be a bigger deal in other contexts, for a security library, I should be staying up to date anyway.

Ever since Trump became President, I've started checking Twitter every day, just to see what he says.

I imagine there are at least a million others that have been brought back to twitter just to see what Trump says.

If he doesn't pay, then twitter loses all those eyeballs. That seems like a loss for twitter. I don't see how this will work.

"Being managed by some CFA"? Dude wtf?

Just go into an index fund and pay 0.05% management fees... how much are you paying in fees right now? 2%? That's like 1/3 of whatever you earn from the market on average (if inflation is 2%, and the SP500 pays 8% a year on avg, then just by dumping the CFA and going to an index you get 50% more per year in real terms)

- Figure out how many hours of sleep you need, figure out how long it takes you to fall asleep (usually ~15 min), add those up, and work backwards from the time you need to wake up - this is when you should be in bed

- Sleep and wake up at the same time everyday, at least in the beginning

- Avoid eating a lot near your bedtime

- 300mcg (micrograms) of melatonin can help make sleeping earlier at a certain time easier - helps me reset if I get into a stretch of sleeping late

- Clear your head before bed; if you have stuff on your mind, you'll probably be thinking or worrying about it - write down what you need to do the next day

- Get one of those sleep tracking apps like Sleep Cycle to wake you up when it thinks you're in a lighter sleep phase

- Get a Wake-up Light alarm or rig some lights to turn on; light is key and is pretty effective

- Drink water when you wake up

We already know that thermodynamics and evolutionary pressures can allow for intelligent beings with a population average IQ of 100 (on the arbitrary scale we've devised for ourselves) to exist, since we humans do exist. I'm suggesting that a slight increase in that population average might be enough to make a large difference in how we collectively respond to mid- to long-term problems.

If you're arguing against that suggestion, it seems you would have to be arguing that human intelligence exists at a level that is nestled directly up against some kind of hard thermodynamic limit, even though a non-trivial portion of our species already exists on the other side of that line. I don't see how that argument could plausibly be made.

Forests cover 75 percent of Finland's land area. For every Finn, there is around 4,2 hectares of forest. In Finland, land area is classified according to its use. 86 percent of land area is forestry land.

Without even having to dive into userdata or metadata, just (a) create the role for the ec2; (b) attach the trust and permission policies; (c) create an "instance profile"; (d) attach the instance profile to your target instances.

If via console, that gets done behind the scenes when attaching the role. But ya roles use the security token service behind the scenes which allow for temp creds vs. storing sensitive stuffs on the instances.

If by "return to the mean" you're talking about the Pliocene[1], the last time CO2 levels were this high, when temperatures were 2-3C higher, ice sheets collapsed and seas were 25m higher, then yes - we're likely returning quite soon to that Pliocene mean, if not beyond!

- With entrepreneurship, you learn more on a month of doing than on a year of reading.

- Get a job, or create one for yourself. You can write a book, you can learn web coding, join a startup. What do you want to do? what thing is both something you could do well and make you happy?

But sublime isn't really a native app either. When did we start corrupting the meaning of native? When electron apps appeared, and we wanted to divide "compiled" versus "interpreted webapps" on the desktop?

Cross platform toolkits, be it proprietary, one-off like Sublime's, or things like Qt, GTK, WxWidgets, Java Swing, were NEVER considered native. Just because an app is written in C or C++ doesn't make it platform native.

Textmate is a native editor for MacOS. Sublime is not.

Competition is not the only response to being one entity among many, and it is not even necessarily the most reasonable response. Cooperation is also possible, and it is one of the necessary elements in every human organization, from the family to global cultures. We have civilization because we are to some degree able to cooperate, and if you simply turn up the dial on that trait, it is easy to imagine that other creatures could exist who were even better cooperators - and who would be collectively even more successful because of it.

> VueJS is the only of these JavaScript UI Libraries/Frameworks I can stand...

Agreed. I just can't stand Angular's bloat, especially its IoC container. If I want to use one, then let me choose the one I want. A UI framework shouldn't come with it's own container it makes no sense. If this UI framework is too complicated to boostrap manually then it's too complicated at first place.

To make things clear I actually liked Angular 1 since it allows people to easily upgrade from jQuery and raw DOM.
> Does anyone not want this?

Like the parent comment says, Theo De Raadt doesn't want this, nor do any other OpenBSD or LibreSSL devs, because Apache 2.0 licensed software can't be included in OpenBSD. If this license change goes through, LibreSSL will no longer be able to merge patches from OpenSSL. I understand that a lot of people want OpenSSL to be relicensed. I think everyone wants it to be relicensed, but Apache 2.0 is a weird choice of license. Whoever chose Apache 2.0 must not have put much thought into it, otherwise they would have known about the OpenBSD compatibility problem.

It's also worth mentioning that Apache 2.0 is incompatible with the GPLv2. Apache 2.0 code can only be linked to GPLv2 code that includes the option to use the code under the terms of any later version of the license, which means the resulting linked binary must be distributed under the terms of the GPLv3. Proponents of GPLv2 over GPLv3 (such as Linus Torvalds) would also not want this.
There's a lot of talk in here about whether consciousness is binary, whether it can turn on and off like a lightswitch, as if that's a good proxy for dualism vs. materialism.

I would argue that this is a totally separate question. In terms of my core intuitions, I'm a hardcore dualist. Chalmers is my favorite philosopher. But the idea of something being "weakly conscious" makes plenty of sense to me. In fact, I have been weakly conscious--waking up from being knocked out for one reason or another. During the process of coming out if it, I remember being in a hazy state, where experiences didn't have the vividness or clarity that they normally do. Of course, it's possible that it's just my memories that are weak, but at any rate the idea that these experiences didn't have the full character of normal conscious experience doesn't strike me as any kind of evidence for materialism.

In my father's last months, I saw him medicated on morphine to the point of being near unconscious, and it's easy to imagine that he was having the same sort of weak experiences as I've had. None of this rattles my dualist intuitions at all.

What most dualists say is that it's incredibly mysterious that anything has any level of consciousness above zero. Saying consciousness doesn't need a special explanation because it's possible to be weakly conscious is like saying gravity doesn't need to be explained because it's possible for objects to have small amounts of gravitation. It's an unrelated issue.
> but it's reference to the pi vs tau debate is kind of silly

This struck me as odd as well, but here's a possible justification.

The ramshackleness of people's understanding, the degree to which it's compromised by misconceptions, grows surprisingly rapidly as one moves away from their specific research focus. A rule of thumb is a post-doc in a subfield, looks elsewhere in the field like a graduate or undergraduate student, and in other fields like an undergraduate or pre-college student. Because that's when they last wrestled with the subject. And science education research shows the wrestling isn't going very well.

It can be startling to be told by first-tier (non-astronomy) physical sciences grad students "the Sun doesn't have a color - it's lots of different colors - it's rainbow colored". Or to encounter first-tier medical school grad students, with no idea how big a red blood cell is, beyond "really really small".

With science and engineering education working so badly, I feel uncomfortable dismissing even "trivial" improvements to widespread abstractions, without looking for education research. I don't feel I can reliably judge how badly it might be screwing us.

In Support of Medium’s Pay-Subscription Experiment as an Independent Writer
I have been leading a good sized Angular app for work for the past 8 months, and upgrading from v2 to v4 has been painless, even while having an AOT compilation build pipeline set up - the only modifications we had to do was switch OpaqueToken to InjectorToken, <template> to <ng-template>, and Renderer usage to Renderer2, and these weren't required to be done yet. We only did those changes to get ahead of the curve from the deprecation messages.

On first note, the codegen size decreased dramatically for AOT compiled builds - we went from ~600 KB vendor + app minified and gzipped (not counting 50 KB of polyfills) to ~400 KB. This is huge, and the boot speed feels even faster on first user load of the page!

Thanks to the Angular team for this fantastic work!
HP Laptop 2010: AMD built-in graphics card overheated and AMD cut support for it while still selling it.

It's always funny to see someone posting online about how they consider themselves to be part of a group that supposedly "cares", while proclaiming that it's other people who are the (larger part of the) problem.

If you a) live in a populated city; b) purchase products that must be manufactured, shipped, and disposed of; c) own any vehicle (including fully electric); d) use electricity to power heat, A/C, and technology including a computer used to post on HN: you are categorically part of the problem. There is no such thing as an environmentally responsible citizen in any first world country. We all live unsustainably, and no amount of "I bought an electric vehicle", "I recycle and compost", "I buy local", etc., makes the tiniest dent in the system. I wish people who believe they are environmentally self-conscious while still living in unsustainable comfort would get off their high horses. Your contribution to the ecosystem's woes is not measurably different whatsoever compared to that of your "uncaring" neighbors.
