I was going to argue with this, but looking into it, it seems the cost of living is only about 50% of the US, so it's really more equivalent to $3/day or so in the US, which would be about $1k/yr. So yeah, I'm a lot less impressed by this now.

It looks like you'd be able to maybe cover basic staple foods in Iran with this income, without anything left for shelter or other necessities. But that said, it means the median income is only about equivalent to $3k/yr US in spending power, which is incredibly depressing, and makes me wonder if I'm doing some math wrong, since surely half the population can't be poor to the point of homelessness. Perhaps the numbers I'm looking at don't factor cost of living in rural vs urban areas, and there is an order of magnitude difference?
I watched the announcement w/o knowing much about it. He justified the decision by saying:

- We're paying 100b/year when other developed countries do not have to.
- Spending on that is unaccounted for.
- The impact will be (only) a 2/10 Celcius reduction in temperature by 2100
- The positive impact by 2030 is the equivalent of what China pollutes in 14 days.

Just stating what was said. I don't know which are facts.
So much lost opportunity for the united states to become a leader in exporting new technology.

At least we have coal.
I'm an obsessive planner. But I mix some spontaneity in, as well. Basically, I plan out the trip (including places to stay, etc...). But any particular day, if something strikes me, I allow myself to do something completely different. However, I always have a framework in place.

In terms of picking places to go, what are you interested in? I like food. So, I do Google searches for best food destinations. I read chowhound to get ideas on where foodie travelers like to go.

If you have an interest, just do targeted searches for places to go for people with those interests. Might sound too simple, but it works quite well for me.
This advice seems to really highlight the difference between high level managed memory languages languages:

those that fallback to native functions for performance Vs those that work on a fast VM / compilation to native code.

it seems like the former gets some quick performance wins but results in being unable to use the language as intended in any remotely hot spots.
My thinking exactly. Hopefully this will provide a good enough experience to 90% of current adblock users to go with this instead of blocking everything, so that Google never gets forced into a position where it has to choose between removing ad-blockers or taking big ad revenue hits, and heat from advertisers. Like how netflix, hulu, hbo now were the best ways to reduce piracy because they treated the problem, not the symptoms.
I always figured these pyramids were in the middle of the desert... thanks for enlightening me.
Yes, and, as a citizen of the United States, I honestly think they should. The only thing that makes sense to the current generation of Congressman and beltway insiders is money. The rest of the world can shape US policy quickly and easily by threatening our supply of it.
It would be optimistic to count on it, but one of the few ways the US political system could get back on track is through the scale of crisis we may be heading for.

It has been known for quite a while now that cutting the budget of the IRS is actually a money loser.
As if Trump's stance on Paris wasn't very negative in the first place. Sucked the PR juice efficiently out of his advice position though!
It's not really about immediate pros and cons. The Paris accords don't actually hold nations to any sort of immediate reduction in CO2 emissions. They call for nations to start reducing their emissions in 2020, and progress to a final target in about half a century. Obama's pledge wasn't to even be realised until 2025.

Most nations are implementing various carbon taxes in an attempt to reduce emissions, the obvious is that no carbon tax means no additional tax on businesses and transportation. This could be considered an upside.

Downside? Who knows, the US never really implemented anything anyway, so practically nothing will change. Ultimately, potential issues will be global warming on a catastrophic level. Then again, that may happen with or without the US attempting to reduce emissions.
So do Facebook a favor and create your own shadow profile for them ? What if you were against shadow profiles in the first place ?

Sure, some people might think that way. All of them, or even a majority? I doubt it.
iOS apps being a walled garden doesn't really have anything to do with the open web. Apple has long embraced the open web, so there's nothing hypocritical about this.
The deal is unenforceable, very expensive, and most likely will fail. Also, China emits twice as much greenhouse gas as the United States.
Trump's not part of the 90s generation. He's an early Baby Boomer (born 1947, BB starts at 1943).

Elon Musk to Trump: You quit Paris, so I quit you
> it'll deliver the encrypted blob to the client, so in theory if they really wanted to break your password they could tell the extension that it's encrypted with a single round of the hash function

That's incorrect. When you change the round count your master password is re-computed, and database is re-encrypted with the new hash. The server needs to return the round count so the client can generate the correct master password hash, if you ignore that and simply calculate it for e.g. 2 rounds, the master password hash won't match and therefore the AES-256 database won't decrypt.

The way Lastpass works is straightforward... PBKDF2(password, rounds) -> AES256(hash, blob). If the rounds change then the resulting hash changes and therefore the database won't decrypt. Your second paragraph is quite confusing, in that I cannot make heads or tails of why you think you can use 2 rounds when e.g. 10,000 are specified previously. A correct round count is just as vital as a correct password in generating the correct hash.
It's like complaining that the New York Times has actual news articles next to the crosswords and ads
This is my concern as well. This could well be the result of advertisers pressuring Google to do something about ad-blockers.

We all know how much they're willing to do to please advertisers after the YouTube demonetization apocalypse.

You need to separate the details of the deal from the goal its attempting to achieve. The deal itself limits the US more than other countries which pollute more in absolute terms, and results in wealth transfers to those countries (directly).

Given the relative wealth of the nation's involved I think the deal was fair. But that is a debatable point. The USA doesn't need this deal in place to limit its own emissions although its unlikely Trump would put much effort into it.
That link is literally in the first sentence of Gruber's post.
I think so. In my field, law, a good number of my friends* (including myself) are actively looking for jobs abroad. And applying for said jobs. I cannot speak for everyone I know, but the regressive/repressive nature of this administrations platform is enough to encourage me out of this country.

> Why deliberately try to piss everyone off?

The best way to sell authoritarianism is the fear of outside enemies.

The best way to build a fear of outside enemies is to have outsiders actually hate you, for things you've already sold as necessary for the good of your own people.
Thanks for the feedback!

Preferred shares are reflected in the current payoffs; that's what's responsible for the "low exit" portion of the slider not paying off at all. Are you talking about participation preferences that let VCs double-dip? Those are a whole different kettle of fish, but also not as standard as preferred shares.
It's as if participating in the agreement required adopting the metric system ;-)
> I still get invited to "high quality" events (things my real-life friends are going to) and haven't really missed the lower quality events.

Just to run a counterpoint to this, there are Facebook groups that have opened up whole new social circles for me and provide opportunities. I'm into whitewater kayaking and the "Where's the Whitewater at?" group has people planning informal trips at a few hours notice when someone drives by and notices a river is runnable. You go out and paddle with people you haven't met before, make new friends who share your interests, etc.

Also, it is great for learning about new hazards in a river, i.e. fallen trees, that make a certain trip either possible or much more dangerous.
It's pointless to reform tax law in wage earners' favor, because the laws are written to their deficit? Is that your argument?
That's odd, I didn't know that gender equality affected the climate.
I agree that Gruber is leaning a lot towards Cupertino, but when it comes to open Web standards he's always been praising Google's approaches and had critics for Apple's Safari and WebKit approach.

Let's not start pointing fingers about being hypocritical, tho, otherwise I would really hear for example how exactly is Google stance on openness not hypocritical.

One kiloton of TNT equivalent in energy release is 4.2 terajoules (a megaton is 4.2 petajoules). And yes, this is the unit most commonly used for the yield of nuclear weapons.
Hey, the majority of the US populous agrees with you!

It's not just Trump though. It's his constituents in the American heartland. Theyre scared about jobs and their well-being..as the information economy leaves them behind. Somewhat similar to the conditions that allowed Hitler to rise to power theyre looking for a leader who will make it all better..
Even as an environmentalist, I'm okay with this. The political reaction to climate change is a farce. The Paris accord isn't going to do anything, just like the Kyoto protocol didn't do anything. It's just a way for people to feel good without making any real lifestyle changes.
This is one of those situations where you should be shaking your head, even if you're a climate change denying conservative or a fussil fuel industrial interest.

The Paris pact was pretty toothless: it was a step forward, but heavily aspirational. Indeed, one of the stated complaints of conservatives was that it did nothing to enforce compliance. The Trump Administration could have just as well ignored it without formally reneging on it and forced the next administration to deal with the egg on the face for failing to meet the USA's commitments.

But instead he's seriously undermined people's ability to trust in the United States maintaining its international obligations for anything except the shortest periods of time. To be fair, what he's done already with NATO is far worse. But this underlines the reality that the United States government is so unstable that it's unable to uphold any coherency in policy or meet its stated commitments.

If you're a small country who's been trusting the USA as a solid ally against regional competitors, you're looking at this and going, "well, maybe I should be focusing more on ties with the EU/Russia/China/India."

It's honestly pretty humiliating for the USA, even aside from the fact that we've just fucked the next generation just to give the finger to elitist liberals and scientists.
Pollution is not CO2.
Perhaps the US isn't a good global leader. It is, after all, only the aftermath of WW2 that left enough of a power vacuum for two countries at the edges of "proprer civilisation" like the USA and Russia to take the central position as the world superpowers.

I wouldn't be sad if the USA returns to a position of only interfering within its sphere of influence in North and South America.

Being a global leader isn't merely about the power to do so, but about caring about other countries to the point that you see them as directly intertwined with your own. The USA, for better or worse, has always viewed other nations as 'other'.
Musk Jumps Off Trump Train in Wake of Paris Pullout Decision
The headline does not demonstrate that, it's entirely an assumption from your own head.

"Science was ignored today" doesn't even have an implication of scientists making policy.
Boats?
The "Message to Garcia" is great, thank you for that. I love that while it was written in 1899 it still seems to be true; will likely be still true in 100 years I think.
Umm, I think people who say things like "20+ years..." haven't been paying attention to the change in rate of large scale social change over the last few decades.

Do you really think anyone could have predicted today in 1997 ? (today as in, Brexit, Trump, Nsa/Privacy, Fb...etc)
> I am presuming nearly all Stripe customers do this as well

A lot of customers don't in fact do that. I've been working a bunch on dj-stripe (https://github.com/kavdev/dj-stripe) and trying to make it work exactly like that, but before that at the very least it's pretty safe to assume that most Django apps using Stripe only had a fraction of the data you can pull from Stripe.

It's also only a model you really need for subscriptions. For one-off charges, all you need is a copy of whatever data you care about in the charge and invoice models.

This is sad news. The direct impact on the carbon reduction might actually be not too large, as renewable energies are actually the cheaper alternative, and as many of the American states are pushing for carbon reductions.

The big downside of the US quitting the Paris climate pact is the political signal it is sending. The pact was significant, because it was the first time the world managed to agree on something (except Syria and Nicaragua). Leaving the pact sends the signal, that the US does not want to internationally collaborate on preventing climate change. Most of our todays problems and challenges can only be solved by international collaboration, be they environmental or economical. It would have the better signal, and probably also served the US interests better, if the US would not quit the climate pact.
One thing that is omitted is stretching. Stretching is absolutely critical to preventing injury and helping you gain. At the very least, bend over to touch your toes, do lunges, and stretch out your chest. Anecdotally, I was having rotator cuff pain (both my dad and grandpa have ruined their right rotator cuffs) and I wasn't gaining on bench presses. Stretching out my pecs completely solved it.

And I also recommend StrongLifts 5x5.
I would add to that that if your startup pays enough for you to live your lifestyle in the area you choose, then it's okay to leave money on the table so to speak.

You can always go retire at a big company later. The younger you are, the easier it is to take these sorts of risks.

But also think like an investor. Don't put your $x00,000 investment in a startup just because it's cool. Do it because you believe you'll make a positive ROI.
I assume you are not being sarcastic. It is true, but in this case its a limiting to early stage companies. I know, I personally will not join one that doesn't disclose liquidation preference, type of shares I had etc. unless they were offering more base comp than big corp to offset my risk of joining a company with a 65%+ chance of failure.

By disclosing terms of the shares, great companies could attract better people. You are not going to trick good people with shares, only fools.
I think you overstate the case when you say that the US's leadership position has been destroyed. It has certainly been damaged, but the US is still one of the largest, most populous and richest countries in the world. It will have a big seat at the world negotiating table for quite some time no matter what.

On Windows, VTune supports managed code sampling (Java, Python, ...); it basically decodes the internal state of the VM (such as PyEval_FrameEx). The basics work on Linux as well, but as usual setup is more painful due to kernel issues. The most basic analyses do not require kernel support.

PyCharm has a Concurrency Visualizer, which sounds nice, but it does only apply to Python locks, excluding the GIL. Oops...
The last ICO I attended totally felt like an MLM meeting. Just like in MLM, one does not talk about the pyramid but instead talks about the commodity product/service/asset that enables the pyramid to be built. But everyone knows it's about making money through the pyramid. The commodity is just a distraction to give it some legitimacy.
Does this include dilution?
> Also, China emits twice as much greenhouse gas as the United States.

Not per capita, which is what is relevant when it comes to setting a country's policies.
What you miss are pretty much the only things I do on FB anymore. I'm just not sure why you had to deactivate to make that happen. I guess it has never sucked me in and wasted my day because I just don't find browsing FB very interesting.
How do you think they were categorized and named in the first place? They were named by someone studying the language, examining how it works, and making a decision. Well, I'm studying the language, examining how this construct works, and making a decision.

Did you know that there are some people that classify German as an SOV language? It actually makes a lot of sense in analysis; it drastically simplifies the otherwise complex rules around German verb placement. However, it takes the ability to step aside for a moment. To look at the common case (V2) and call it an exception.

Well, reformulating "stand for" as a transitive verb also simplifies the rules. It does even more; it takes a very common construction ("dangling preposition") and not only explains it, but makes it perfectly grammatical.

There's been a huge movement in linguistics away from what has been called "prescriptivism" towards "descriptivism". That is, that the users of a language are the ones who determine what is correct, and the best a linguist can do is take those constructs and describe them. Your approach to my comments so far has been extremely prescriptivist; that this construct has these words and therefore should be formed that way. And you do this in light of the fact that these types of constructions are extremely common and perfectly well understood.

So I ask you, is grammar meant to be a description of the way a language works, or is it meant to be a prescription of the way a language is supposed to work? Because all you've given me is the latter, while I'm attempting to show you the former. And if you believe the latter, then I already know that we will not come to terms because we are at philosophical odds with each other.
The US emit more than double per capita.
This gets at the heart of the more interesting debate here. Scientists aren't sovereigns, at least not officially, although many people seem to want them to be. Somewhat counter-intuitively the same people who think government should only make "scientifically correct" policy decisions also seem to be the biggest proponents of Democracy. And yet Democracy is the reason we didn't make a "scientific" decision in this case. If Trump had stayed in PCA we might have had a similar article saying "Democracy was ignored today," after all Trump ran and won on an anti climate change platform. He would have been betraying his base on to exit PCA. The only conclusion I can draw from this is that by and large when people say they want Democracy they really mean "scientifically correct" government, which is to say government that's in keeping with mainstream scientists beliefs. The word "democracy" has become a shibboleth.

Thank you for Pukka. It was an awesome client.

Facebook has become successful because for the first time in history it materialized the ungraspable matter that is the concept of relationship. It's like a magic device that shows the invisible treads that link the individuals in their own monadic lives. It's like a fucking superior level of intercommunication.
And it's scary, and too powerful, and way over the point of no return. Plus, I don't think it's making the world a better place in any meaningful way.
