At least 195 other countries are joining ( except Syria and Nicaragua ), even China is joining. US is now 1 of the three countries that doesn't join. What's at stake, at least an effort to change the future.

Missed opportunity for Trump / US, i think it also reflects the change that is happening between the US and it's current partners in a very fast pace.

PS. All the jobs that Trump is talking about in the mining industry, are all getting automated

I don't know. For me it's as simple as right-click on the link and choose "block this item" from context menu. Ok, often I need to adjust the suggested css-selector to block the item permanentely. But the general rule is that I have full control over how websites are shown. It's more than just ad-blocking. I block menu panels or whole parts of websites which I don't use. On youtube, for example, I blocked everything except the video-frame. No comments, no logos, no headers, only video.
Key Takeaways from #c9d9 Ep 68 – Must-Have’s for Application Release Automation
Full text of the agreement is here: https://unfccc.int/files/meetings/paris_nov_2015/application...

From the agreement:

>Acknowledging
that climate change is a common concern of humankind,
Parties
should, when taking action to address climate change, respect, promote and consider their
respective obligations on human rights,
the right to health, the rights of
indigenous peoples,
local communities, migrants, children, persons with disabilities and people in vulnerable
situations and the right to development, as well as gender equality, empowerment of
women and intergenerational equity,

That doesn't sound like it has a whole lot to do with climate change. It could potentially be used to force the United States to accept migrants, which Trump has opposed.

EDIT:

From the White House's Facebook page,

"The United States will withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord but begin negotiations to re-enter either the Paris Accord, or an entirely new transaction, on terms that are fair to the United States, its businesses, its workers, its people, its taxpayers."
Thanks for clarifying the pros and cons of this policy without inserting any of your personal bias!

Yep, I'm specifically thinking of US. Europeans still get major infrastructure work done.
If you are using ms as a unit you several orders of magnitudes too slow for many domains.

3d gaming comes to mind, most games have a tight budget of 16ms per frame, and at those speeds 0.1 ms is a real chunk of that. If I am going to download a new module in then try to load it the game shouldn't have to hiccup for that.

Possibly. I've seriously begun to consider ways in which I could get set up over seas. I've always wanted to spend some time abroad anyway. It's very hard for me to see a way that the US can get back on track at this point. Most of Congress doesn't seem to really care about the damage that Trump is doing to our reputation. Furthermore, Republicans have successfully neutered (through gerrymandering) the system that would otherwise keep them in check. The outlook is very dim.
Also the announcement wasn't a surprise. To whatever degree this announcement might have an effect on future corporate earnings (a fairly dubious connection imho) it was already priced in.
See: https://politics.stackexchange.com/questions/19380/what-are-...
Yes, but bear in mind:

* where else will people go? The UK, for example, is also in an anti-immigrant mood. Though Canada may still be good.

* the current political climate in the US is ... unstable. It'll be significantly different in a year or two, one way or another.
On the pro side, Trump can say he followed through with a campaign promise. The accord was non-binding self-enforced, so from a day-to-day business impact, not much changes from regular Trump policy setting. On the con side, foreign relations will be stressed and global climate policy will be set without US corporate input (possibly a good thing?).
No. It's perfectly valid to use science to inform your policy decisions. But the headline demonstrates the recent tendency to assert that scientists should be the ones ultimately making policy decisions. There's an important difference there.
Given that he now has a ground car company, an underground car company, and a space car company, I assume the next one will have to be some sort of atmospheric flying car company.
Yep, IMO unless you are a founder, if your company isn't one of the top companies of the decade your 4-6 years of pay-cut toil as an early employee will likely just not be worth it, at all.

The expected value of working at an early startup gets overestimated, by a lot. If you're optimizing your career, either make the most you can at an established company, or start a startup.

Or... work at an enlightened startup, that understands the state of affairs, and offers really generous lifestyle advantages - i.e. go work remotely for a couple months if you want, otherwise they are just exploiting misinformed young people and their founders likely have some ego issues.
So of the 8 return flights I've taken in the last 3 years, two have had some form of luggage delay. One for 3 days, going from Dublin to Baltimore via British airways, and one for 1 day, arriving back in Ireland via American.

So in my experience, that's a 12.5% rate for major delays, and a 25% rate for any delays.

In general, it seems like most larger companies opposed this move.
Well, not that I am defending him, but in his speech he said the deal
is a burdain on the US industry while China and India are polluting as hell. This is something that might be factually right, but still not something to aspire to.
I guess this is useful if you have e.g. a bunch of stripe buttons on a static website and don't want to set up a database to do analytics.
His argument against inheritance seems based largely on Python's weak implementation of private attributes.

No, it seems like a Python-based example of one of the well-known problems with inheritance, which applies even in languages like Java and C++ with explicit compiler-enforced visibility modifiers. Difficulty determining which class in a hierarchy is responsible for a particular member is not only a Python problem, or an "only languages without explicit public/private/protected" problem. One reason why composition is favored -- and remember, "composition over inheritance" goes back to the GoF book and earlier! -- is clearing this up.

Of course, blindly "composing" is also bad, which is what this post points out.
Why would it be a conflict of interest? They're probably going to block all ads that aren't their own/"approved" or something similar to that.
> doesn't Facebook have something like that, but in reverse?

Probably not. Your hypothetical headlines look like a parody.

Also, I don't understand your comparison of jQuery and React. That really has nothing to do with Facebook being a walled garden or an attack on the open web.
Could you give more information on how to do this?

I'm wondering if it wouldn't be possible to build an app that recognizes brands and tells you if they are connected to the koch brothers... Like you can whip out your phone and scan a barcode at the store. It tells you climate relevant info about the product.

Edit: apparently there are several apps like this: https://www.forbes.com/sites/paularmstrongtech/2017/01/11/th...
What are the foreign policy implications of this? Every single other country's reaction that I've seen has been to beg the US to stay in the accord.
Read the agreement. The US would be giving billions to other countries yearly as part of this agreement. Of course every country on the receiving end is joining!
Several suggestions:

As others have suggested, looking through go's std library is a good idea as you will need to be familiar with it in any case. Use https://golang.org/pkg/ liberally to go from reading API documentation to code.

Look at https://golanglibs.com categories and pick the one that interests you or is something you already know a bunch about. Then pick something simple from that category.

There is a library that converts some python libs to go packages. This may also help as you can see how the mapping worked.

Finally, just pick up the Go book and start coding something you care about! Go's online documentation is quite good. I was able to bootstrap 3 high-school interns this way fairly well and they actually produced a fair bit of working code in 7 weeks. IMHO you should spend a significant part of your "study" time writing code. Read other code as and when you need it.

> I get excited whenever Stripe releases a new product because their demo pages are bar-none the best ever made.

So, what does this software actually do? My company uses Stripe and it is not immediately clear.
I think you're immediately and clearly wrong.

If workers don't put in the effort, you fire them, or demote them, or pay them less, or give them less hours, or... all of the same things employers do today.

Productivity from fear of loss, I would expect, is inferior to productivity out of hope of gain. If I am motivated from fear, I do not want to be an outlier (I want to be nestled in the group), and I only want to make defensible decisions ("It's not my fault, see?"). And then there's the health effects from stress, the breakdown of group dynamics from members turning on each other, the issues and costs of enforcement of fear-generating policies... So let's not underestimate the costs of fear on productivity.

There are also employers who do not fire employees out of generosity - "I don't want to fire that guy, because he really needs this job". Now you can - or suspend without pay or whatever - because you're not throwing them on the street.

I can definitely deny that what you propose is a real (expected, since this is all theoretical) cost, and you should, too.
Interestingly enough, if there really is a 30% gap in compliance, then I expect that there is enough money in increased tax collections to take a 1% management fee off the top and fund an accounting & legal organization that would be required to "do the taxes" of the .1%.
I always thought that it was weird to keep peeves as pets.
US is getting off pretty easily here, since we're only making pledges about the future, and not having to pay for what we're already putting out there.

Hugo is well maintained - https://github.com/spf13/hugo

Why deliberately try to piss everyone off? Why not just follow the popular approach of agreeing to some environmental agreement and then entirely ignoring it?
> maintain my own kernel updates

Not really: zfs is available in aur as a dkms package. Pacman automatically rebuilds dkms modules when it updates the kernel. All you'd need to do is modify mkinitcpio.conf to include "zfs" in the HOOKS at the appropriate stage.

So: more complicated that just using ext4, but not "maintain my own kernel" level of difficulty.
Oh I'm sure they've got plenty of info on me and have their ways of collecting more. I used Facebook pretty regularly from 2005 to 2013 or so, so they know stuff about me I've long since forgotten (as evidenced by looking at some of my old posts from college...yeesh, don't ever do that unless you want to be embarrassed about what the you of 10 years ago was like).

Pro: As sergiotapia mentioned, good for business because it is costly to comply. It may also not have ended up having much positive impact on the environment, there are people who can argue that for you.

Con: People who support the pact symbolically, not necessarily having any of the expertise or knowledge required to consider it, will go into a blind rage over it; actual climate scientists will be considerably more calm.
sorry, thats just a analogy that comes to mind when the issue is taking responsibility for your own actions. don't really believe i'm changing anyone's mind here.
The actual space in which the planet resides stretches and shrinks as the gravitational wave passes through it. The fabric of space itself is the medium that the wave travels through.

However, the affect is incredibly tiny, even though it was generated by two black holes colliding. The size of the distortion experienced here on Earth is 1000x smaller than the width of a proton! It's mind boggling.

I think I remember hearing that there is immense distortion in the area immediately around the collision, but I'm not certain.
The United States of America spent a hundred years building up a global leadership position. President Trump has effectively destroyed it in a mere four months.

China is adeptly stepping up to fill the void left by the United States. Last week Trump did his best to alienate America's long-standing European allies, who now feel that they are on their own against Russia's expanding European power plays. So Europe is turning to China as well.

Chinese and European leaders have scheduled a meeting tomorrow to state how they intend to expand efforts to fight climate change. Meanwhile, USA is isolating itself with Syria and Nicaragua as the only three countries to stay out of the Paris accord.
You still haven't provided a source for "He has famously said he would have sold FB if yahoo kept the $1 billion tag.".
Facebook is really nice for many usecases.

But it could be way more open without ruining those usecases. It is just so hostile to non-facebook users.

The primary example being the one cited in the article: The only reason to block 1/3 of a page to nonlogged in users is to convince you to either sign up or log in. There is no user-based reason to do so.

That is open-web hostile.

There is no need to make the all the content non-searchable, except to convince you to log in and search locally.

That is open-web hostile.

I used to think Google was bad for its intrusive "No really, you should log-in" campaigns, but facebook makes Google look so reasonable on this score.
information asymmetry is part of the secret to business success
That's a Republican orthodoxy, not just Trump. Climate change either doesn't occur, or if it occurs it's not man made, if it's man made nothing can be done. In any case, doing anything is job killing and anti freedom.

I think Trump himself doesn't care.
Send an email to the people who manage the options. Say that you are trying to figure out your finances, and would like to know how many options are outstanding.

Note that there are complicated ways that that more options might appear, depending on the company (e.g. sometimes debt can convert to equity) that they might be a bit more hesitant to talk about, but they should be pretty open about the total number of shares currently outstanding.
I'd be willing to offer a different take: You life in a smaller-ish job market. I'd be willing to bet you have fewer of the hip, "bleeding edge" startups, and places that hop on the newest technologies right away. I'm guessing most of the companies are more technologically conservative. I'm not saying that as a bad thing, by any means. More that, they would rather work with proven technologies where the problems are known. That way, they can concentrate on whatever it is they want to do, rather than on the bugs of the alpha build of the flavor of the month.
About 15 eth, worth about $3,200. But he can hope for more.
If he did not do it, I would have to find a different car producer for my next car. So, I have to think about it.

I am not sure, if I want to support US companies in this "America first" situation. A country that so much indulges in egoism is really difficult to like.

The US produces Anti-Americanism itself.
Elon Musk leaving Trump advisory councils following Paris agreement withdrawal
I deactivated my Facebook mostly because I have a hard time controlling myself. It's not the only thing I find difficult to control in the digital realm (I'm still a regular on Reddit and here), but I've found I intellectually get a lot more out of using Reddit and HN over Facebook. Maybe its confirmation bias, but I come from a family with addictive tendencies and even though I don't have a problem with substances, I definitely see it show up in my life with digital products.

I also found that spending more time on Facebook made me focus on the wrong things in life. I spent a lot of time thinking about what photos I wanted to post to garner interest (in reality few look or care about them). I spent a lot of time checking in on people that I haven't talked to in years, which satisfies my interest without actually ever communicating with them. It just became sort of depressing after a while. It's low effort to become friends with someone on Facebook, and I don't think its healthy to be constantly reminded of these connections you've made in life through various events and never actively continue in real life. You just spend a lot of time thinking about the past or what could have been. I was expending so much energy and getting back nothing but fleeting dopamine hits.

I truly believe I'm better off without it, despite the difficulty coordinating events with people and being invited to things. I communicate more with people in real life now. I find I am more motivated to text or call people to check in. I also use other communication services more because I'm not satisfying my social needs through passive consumption anymore.
I would suspect that for a lot of people their debts (particularly mortgage debt) would grow with their income leaving them unable to just quit and fall back on UBI.
The fraud protection is a fairly recent offering.

https://stripe.com/radar

I've personally had good results with it, but admittedly at lowish volume.
Stripe owns Hackernews. They consistently get their new product offerings to the front page with huge points. Yes they're loved by the Hackernews community (and rightly so) but I wonder if their ability to get their stuff to the front is less to do with it's relevance and more to do with their army of hackernews accounts with tons of karma. Just a thought.
I tend to use the term "function-oriented" rather than "functional" since I think it fits the spirit of the phrase better. You're right that language features alone won't distinguish enough, and that means that functional programming is more about culture and standard practices. Once you embrace that, it's a bit easier to wrangle out a definition.

The definition I have in my head is something along the lines of "functions are the tool that the language prefers to address common software design concerns." So for example, Encapsulation is a big deal when designing software. Object-oriented languages will address this concern with their object system (via accessibility modifiers), while function-oriented languages tend to address this with functions, via lexical scoping and closures. OOP languages use their object system to achieve runtime-dynamic behavior through inheritance or composition or interfaces, while function-oriented languages will more often try to pass first-class functions as arguments. And so forth.

It's not a 100% thing. Common Lips will solve some of its problems with macros or its module system, and ML will solve some of its problems with types. But you do find the languages (or communities) prefer functions over their object systems, while e.g. Python or Ruby prefer the reverse.

Although, I do find myself wondering if Haskell should actually be considered a type-oriented language. Again, it's not just about the features of the type system, it's the fact that the type system is the main tool that it tries to use to solve every problem about designing software.
