Actually, it should go to 11.
The problem with the ratchet mechanism is that it will almost unavoidably lead to goals that are utterly divorced from reality.

e.g. A nation will propose an INDC it thinks it can realistically achieve. It will be informed it's INDC is inadequate and that "more ambition is needed". So, they'll be forced to adopt an INDC that is not realistic. They'll fail to implement this, but they still won't be able to create a realistic INDC for their next five year period. Even after submitting an INDC they know they have no hope of implementing the country will likely be informed, once again, that "more ambition is needed".

Here's the thing. While the INDC's will steadily climb in their ambition, everything I've read indicates that there is no enforcement mechanism to see that they are implemented. In this sense it's Kyoto all over again. However, if the goals are too far out of reach, will we even try to reach them?

If you have information to the contrary, I'd love to see it.

> I wish they would launch this; I happily pay $10/month for YouTube Red right now for exactly this.

And here I wish I could pay for YouTube Red.

From what I've heard, YouTube Red users get Google Play Music for free. Ironically, I pay Google more than $10 a month for Google Play Music alone, but they won't let me pay for YouTube Red, even if I want to.

Why? God knows.

If they're going to be the gatekeepers to paid online content, I'd be furious if they botch that one up too with the same kind of regional discrimination and limitations.

And knowing Google though, that's probably exactly what they're going to do. Because that's what they always do.

I will defer to others to write a general apology for mathematics. Here I will simply mention the reason Michael Spivak has given for writing books: namely, to learn the subject himself. Because of this, I would suggest that anything written by Spivak is worth reading.

So, why study physics? Answer: because Michael Spivak has written a book on the subject. Consequently, you now have available to you a map for understanding a subject with no less clarity than the mathematician who wrote it.
Never heard of this book, thanks for sharing.
I wonder if that might be considered a crime against capital, in the sense of 'conspiring to attack value of property'?

Clearly this is a stage beyond 'rich people buying up lots of home properties to keep vacant as an investment while many go homeless'. Now it's commercial properties being treated as this sort of 'crystallized value' and kept in stasis. I expect this to continue. Unused pristine property in key locations ought to hold more value than using it for sub-optimal purposes (I'm voicing the view of capital here, I don't personally hold to this belief)

If crimes against capital become a thing, could they merit the death penalty? Then a human daring to cross accumulations of capital far beyond what any human's existence could represent, could be put to death for committing a capital capital crime :)

I think you have misread what I said.

There are brutish, stupid, and venal wreckers at both ends of the political spectrum. There are intelligent, careful, and thoughtful conservatives and socialists. Donald Trump and his followers are not among them. It's only the deeply fucked up political situation in the US that lead to conservatives (those interested in conserving the good that has been achieved) to support a person like Trump.

Political effectiveness divorced from thoughtfulness and respect is not desirable.

I get how an excess of unemployed people (people without a job) can be a problem.

What I don't get is how both can be a problem at the same time.
I am in a consulting role and I often make upgrades to existing systems or integrate with existing systems. Sometimes, that means working on a 20 year old system and all the cruft that comes along with it.

I can feel the pain of some of those points. It can be frustrating when you strongly believe that replacing or fixing a part of a system would be beneficial, yet it is not done for political reasons. Personally, I can take comfort in the fact that I've brought the issue to their attention.

Apparently there is at least one company that chases down artworks stolen by the Nazis and returns works with the rightful owners to recover their items for a fee.

It's mentioned in "The Panama Papers" book:

It also mentioned that some governments (I think it was Iceland) paid to get hacked data covering offshore company ownership.

So there might actually be a business model where you investigate tax evasion and sell the relevant data to tax authorities.

I suspect that might be a rather high risk activity though!
The article is ostensibily about explaining that technology is political, with the tacked-on truth that HN must allow more actual politics. If HN 'squelches political debate', I'm not sure if this refers to whole submissions, or the posters within threads - submissions get flagged for appearing to be preachy with no real intrigue, posters get downvoted and detached for derailing threads. At first I wouldn't know why this submission was flagged, but now I understand it comes on the heels of a spam of Paris threads.
And if the price is a bit much for you, check out http://alpha.math.uga.edu/~shifrin/Spivak_physics.pdf Elementary Mechanics from a Mathematician's Viewpoint which is based on eight lectures Spivak gave in 2004, and which he says "As explained in Lecture 1, these lectures cover material that I had just finished writing, and which I hope will constitute the ˇrst part of a book on Mechanics for Mathematicians."

How can a shortfall happen, technically? I mean, why not just print enough money to inflate it, to cut real values of pensions to make ends of the system meet? After all pensioners aren't likely to riot.
Well. PG is a hacker. By creating HN he didn't just write software, he influenced politics and gave us means to be political.

How you interpret the article isn't contrary to my interpretation. It's part of it. I'd argue that the article also wants to show that by developing technology you can't avoid being political.

PS: Political action does not have to be responsible or ethical. Political just means that it influences other people's life, doesn't have to be positive. And in that regard hackers shouldn't be more responsible but be more aware that they are already participating in politics by writing software, and don't think these are two separate worlds.

>The people who live in the Blue Zones — five regions in Europe, Latin America, Asia and the U.S. researchers have identified as having the highest concentrations of centenarians in the world — move their bodies a lot. They have social circles that reinforce healthy behaviors. They take time to de-stress. They're part of communities, often religious ones. And they're committed to their families.

ok heres my take on this, they do these random shut downs to keep miners on their toes. in some article it has been explained this is how china has implemented firewall policy. if they detect unknown traffic they constrict your flow gradually until you can't do anything. this might be one of those moves, not a clear restriction but rest of miners should be aware of impeding wave of problems caused by PRC oligarchs.
I would argue the opposite. They're not hiding behind other names, and you could instead argue that they're doing it for legacy, not for capital gain.
I've heard a similar story in Ireland, when the bank had already repossessed a property. If they rented it out, they would have to mark down the asset value on their books. If they left it vacant, well, some vacancy rate is expected, so keep marking it to the last price it rented for.
If anything this favors U.S.. In a small country, it is harder to balance out renewable energy sources, i.e. if there is no wind in Tennessee there is likely some in Iowa, but that doesn't work as easily for regions of Poland. And yet, they are doing it.

We also thought about this at Steady (www.steadyHQ.com). We built a system for recurring payments to independent creators and some of our publishers allow users to pay for not bugging them with their adblocker detectors. This generates additional turnover from users that normally do not get served any ads b/c they use adblockers, but I believe such an offering should encompass all ads, not just Google AdSense (why would you pay just to reduce the amount of
ads), and it should include removing paywalls (e.g. at a higher price point, to monetize "superfans").

Talk to people.

If you go to just one or two trade shows a year and talk to people during "unsociable hours" you've just saved yourself a year of reading ads. Especially the niche-companies are low on staff and usually volunteer their knowledgable geeks for the graveyard shifts at trade shows and if you have a good standing with them stuff is virtually free.
Imagine, though, a city where most poor people earn about $1000 per month spend about $750 rent (housing). If the landlords catch wind that everyone is now taking in $1200 after the institution of UBI, won't they collectively up their rates to $950 (because where else are the tenants going to go)? And who does that help but the landlords?

This is the (less abstract) way I've seen the question asked before. I'm not necessarily saying that this is what would happen (it could though, especially if the landlords are on the zoning board). I'm just saying you haven't necessarily answered the concern here.

As one of the aformentioned caretakers I can attest that a certain narrowing of focus on one's own issues is part of the deal. I also have an autistic adult friend who is constantly dismayed by the focus on child autisim, so I can relate to what you are saying.

The focus on children is likley caused by the medical siloing of patients into pediactric and adult. Also researchers may want to focus on harm reduction, ie by preventing or amelirating autisitic symptoms in children it is likley to also prevent the downstream effects to their nervous systems. But certainly if researchers want to get a better understanding of treatment efficacy, adults should also be included in trials.

Our current diagnostic grouping of symptoms into an autisic spectrum is imperfect, I would be very supprised if autisim as we understand it today is caused by one thing. So if this research becomes a treatment it will likley only be benificial for a certain percentage.

EU combined is ~510 million people. More than the US and while there are differnt amounts of variation when it comes to how much countries spend to fight climate change there is practially no different in the agreement that it is real and we must all work together to fight it.

Your president and a lot of US citizens don't even acknowledge that there is a climate change. You are far from any kind of leadership in that regard.

I think EU takes the initiative and is king in making the world follow. Either because they want to or simply because they have to.
