> You can disable telemetry at any point if you want to.

Isn't it more like, "You can reduce telemetry at any point if you want to, until a 'bug' in an update silently resets it."
You can also just use the web, or one of the many apps, like Roku, iOS, android, Wii, etc.
> Cook's implementation contains architecture-specific code that relies on CPU features on x86 and ARM that selectively enable and disable write access to areas of memory. Thus, the data write routines cannot be preemptible, as interrupting the kernel after it enables writing on read-only memory would result in leaving a window of vulnerability open.

Question from someone woefully lacking in kernel knowledge: what does it mean that

- these routines are not preemptible, and

- interrupting the kernel in this scenario would leave it vulnerable

> Eventually, the earth is going to warm significantly without the aid of mankind

What exactly are you referring to here? The sun expanding and becoming hotter as it ages? If so we're talking about the timeline of a few billion years. Climate change is something that has already begun to affect us and will continue to worsen over the course of the next few decades, which makes this issue far more pressing than whatever "natural warming" you're referring to.

There is a massive difference between caring about the environment and following the Paris Climate Agreement. We as a country can do a ton to reduce our damage to the environment. However it is going to be a drop in the bucket to what some third world and massively developing countries will contribute. Follow Amdahl's Law. The biggest emitters should get the biggest spanking.

This is why Paris Agreement is almost completely worthless. China is the largest contributor of green house gasses in the world and emits about a third of all the green house gasses. (if not drastically more given the shady reporting). And they want to give China a free pass to keep polluting the world for another 13 years while every other country gets their emissions under control?

I'm very pro environment and any serious agreement must have China curbing their emissions now. They emit twice the green house gasses as the US (which is the number 2 contributor). That cannot be allowed to continue.
Which would be what? The fact that the earth goes through natural warming and cooling periods?

Well if you sort the states by per-capita income and compare electoral votes in the last election:

>Why would they be?

Almost all of the Ethereum-hosted ERC20 tokens are. Instant liquidity, according to @balajis:

>why bother with the added complexity of that, and just make their stock tradable on public markets?

It's far less complex to write a basic whitepaper and copy-paste ERC20 into an Ethereum smart contract than it is to list a traditional stock on a public stock exchange. You don't even need revenue, or even a working product.

https://theethereum.wiki/w/index.php/ERC20_Token_Standard
there are enough example states to refute it. hell Illinois is poster child for failed Democratic policies and their debt is now junk status. Quite a few other blue states are in the same boat with exploding debt.

blue states tend to be such only because of dense city populations in super cities; discounting California. Get outside those big metropolis with their outsides voting power and it shifts.

I am a decidedly red state and not one of the claims is valid so I seriously doubt its valid all places. thousands of successful small businesses are started each year. Where you will get crushed in big city blue states where regulation protects incumbent businsses even more than in rural areas (let alone taxes)
Worth noting that we can't even really leave the Accord until 2020, so there's a lot of political posturing involved here.

This was all debated for years, so none of this should come as a surprise to anyone. We went into this eyes WIDE open.

China got a good deal, yeah, because it had leverage: it's the manufacturing capitol of the world. It could very easily have walked away with no commitments at all.

As for developing countries, of course we are going to ship our coal jobs over there - they can't afford to build renewables right now and must bootstrap with cheaper in-country energy stores like coal. Meanwhile we can afford the latter and should not be using dangerous and dirty methods just to save money.

100 billion over many years spread across dozens of countries really isn't that much. This is just another way for Trump to say we should be spending money on the US. We should, but we also have responsibilities to the rest of the world that predate all this stuff. We're part of a global community and he is trying to back out of it.

I seriously suspect his numbers in that last one are off or highly misleading. We should all watch for responses from those in know.
There is a distressingly large portion of the country that would love to see California leave the us. (Or Kansas or Texas or New York).
The Economist article only mentions tax evasion, which is a crime, not tax avoidance. They write a decent number of articles about this sort of thing, so I'm assuming they got their terminology right.
I haven't used it, but from what I've seen they take care of at least some of the prep and much of the measurement.

Most of that is either incorrect, or completely missing the point.

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2017/jun/01/...

China and India need to industrialize and modernize in order for them to transition to cleaner energy sources. Per capita, they produce only a fraction of what we do.

It's unrealistic to expect developing nations to shoulder the same burden as developed ones. The deal is weighted to put more on the countries that have modern economies able to make the transition. Idea being that western developed nations can transition into renewables far faster and make up for the developing world's inability to do so, and at least somewhat mitigating temperature rise.

> you won't get more income when losing your job, because the same money is now spread among more people

He didn't say that. The things he said:

> an abusive employer would be more severely punished by the labor market if the economic cost to the worker is diminished

> workers would also be more likely to create new businesses entirely if the personal financial risks associated with doing so were diminished

Are absolutely correct for either type of UBI.
Realistically, poorer countries are going to be able to do almost nothing to help the global situation. The understanding is that richer countries (who, to be fair, have done the majority of polluting historically) will have to grant enormous subsidies to effect change in developing countries if we're going to meet international climate goals.

I guess that's a difficult pill to swallow if you espouse nationalist economic policies, but this isn't about Us vs. Them; we're talking about preventing massive devastation on a global scale. And the Paris accord was just the first step. We'll need to spend much more than Trump is already unwilling to pay if we want to avert disaster.
Bill-splitting is exciting!

Helloplease?
do you think your analysis applies to states like texas, virginia, arizona, north carolina, georgia, utah, etc? even the in-between states such as colorado and florida were doing fine before the blue takeover of 2005+.

i've been to all of these places in the last 10 years and they're all doing more than fine.

it seems to me only a handful of states over-whelmingly tied to particularly depressed sectors of the economy are the ones losing their people and tax revenue. and a lot of those were blue states just 5 years ago!
Thanks for posting this. If any of this gets a bit heated, totally not directed at you.

There's a lot of false dichotomies in this. I haven't fact checked anything either but just addressing the points:

1) China: China is a developing nation, not on par in the US on any quality of life indicator. They still plow fields by hand or with oxen in a large area of the country. We are the most powerful nation on the planet. Obviously, there should be differences.

2) India: India has ~1B people, with about ~250M making like less than $5-10 dollars a day. They basically had no market economy until the 1980s. Again, comparing them to our responsibilities is laughable.

3) "In short, the agreement doesn’t eliminate coal jobs, it just transfers those jobs out of America and the United States, and ships them to foreign countries." This is an absurd comment. We aren't going to buy coal from China. Coal jobs have been dying in the US for decades and will continue to do so because we don't want to use coal. And "be allowed to" doesn't mean they will. China is also building more solar than anyone else in the world.

4) "In short, the agreement doesn’t eliminate coal jobs, it just transfers those jobs out of America and the United States, and ships them to foreign countries." Ok buddy.

5) "calls for developed countries to send $100 billion to developing countries all on top of America’s existing and massive foreign aid payments" - This is a leadership item. If you think as the richest nation in the world we should help the poorer countries find green, economic ways to grow, then what's the problem? Also, it's not like we don't interact with the other parts of the world and aren't affect if they are polluted. I'd take this more to heart if his words on "fixing stuff at home" had any of that in his actual budget. 200B over 10 years? right.

6) "two-tenths of one degree" - This is because we should have started this shit in the 70s. His fears are correct. This is a first step to more and more restrictions because we are altering the planet in ways that probably already can't be taken back. "14 days of carbon emissions from China alone would wipe out the gains from America" - so we should just not have any of our gains at all?

It's just so much "What do I get out of helping? What's in it for me?" rather than, "Hey, let's be leaders and lead by example and show the world that we, the USA, live up to our myths as the 'Good Guys'."
I mean, AFAIK technically taxes are voluntary. Is the IRS really under mandate to "enforce" taxation?

Exactly. More faux outrage.
The two common BTC loss stories:

1. I left in the hands of other people
2. I failed to keep it accessible to myself

It's easy to lean too far in one or the other direction by leaving stuff on a commercial service or forgotten on a single device without backups. For most folks, paper wallet and safebox is the appropriate mix since it follows traditional physical security patterns and ensures some protection from theft or damage. A strong secondary option is to be online but obscure and not advertise where your valuable data rests - perhaps your keys exist on a backup service, but they're tucked away such that an attacker has to think to look for them, and to do some forensics to track down their location. This buys time to hear the alarm bells of "your password was reset" and rotate anything valuable out of the compromised accounts.

Under no circumstances would I keep the money within any of these dedicated services: even though I use Coinbase and exchanges, it's too easy to employ social engineering and privilege escalation to get in and take everything, so any value stored in them has be considered "hot", and I only keep the amounts I want to trade on them(which at this moment is $0).
That's the problem with the hysterics... If it's the right thing to do, if it's smart business and profitable, you don't need a binding agreement to force people in.

EDIT: I'll just quote this here:

> The fact that the agreement only commits governments to keeping warming below an increase of 2 degrees, rather than a much safer firm target of 1.5 degrees, was lobbied for and won by the United States.

> The fact that the agreement left it to individual nations to determine how much they were willing to do to reach that temperature target, allowing them to come to Paris with commitments that collectively put us on a disastrous course towards more than 3 degrees of warming, was lobbied for and won by the United States.

> The fact that the agreement treats even these inadequate commitments as non-binding, which means governments apparently do not have anything to fear if they ignore their commitments, is something else that was lobbied for and won by the United States.

> The fact that the agreement specifically prohibits poor countries from seeking damages for the costs of climate disasters was lobbied for and won by the United States.

> The fact that it is an “agreement” or an “accord” and not a treaty — the very thing that makes it possible for Trump to stage his action-movie slow-mo walk away, world in flames behind him — was lobbied for and won by the United States.

This accord already is a massive insult to developing countries, who give up the right to hold those responsible who caused climate effects on their country. India can't sue the West for the costs that climate change, and the refugee crisis in Bangladesh will cost. India can't use any of the quick industrialization concepts that the West used, at massive cost to the environment. All committments are voluntary.

The west has spent centuries polluting the planet, and gaining an economic advantage. And now China and India are asking for a few years — not even a decade — in an entirely voluntary agremeent.

And yet, it's somehow unfair to the US? This is laughable. And I say that as a German willing to pay my 0.40€/kWh electricity.
Ya, I think these are the most important arguments for UBI. It incentivizes risk taking. We want to socialize risk-taking by entrepreneurs. We want to socialize investment in your own skills, and your own development. The only real question, IMO, is if we can afford it. We may or may not be able to today, but one day, we will be able to provide the basic necessities for all citizens as a human right. And on that day, we will reap enormous productivity gains, for exactly these reasons.

For these exact same reasons, you also don't need a minimum wage. And you don't need laws about hiring/firing people. If you get fired, it's a hit, but not an existential crisis that requires government intervention. If, as an employer, you offer too low a salary, people simply won't take it. We don't need to ensure that the minimum wage meets some basic standard of living, because you're already guaranteed that by virtue of your humanity.

A UBI raises the minimum to a level where government intervention in the workplace is no longer required to ensure decent treatment of human beings. In so doing, it eliminates deadweight loss of all kinds, from every corner of the market.
Dear oh dear. Using Wikipedia to support Climate Change denial denial? Ignorance is bliss I guess. This is a good overview I picked from a random search of the many issues with Mann's work re the Hockey stick, and his lack of professional integrity [1], which is even hinted at in the well-scrubbed Wikipedia page. Anyway there's a ton of easy-to-find extremely well-sourced information debunking the stick.

By the way, Mann was forced to stop calling himself a 'Nobel Prize recipient', after it was found out that he wasn't directly awarded the prize; it was awarded to the IPCC.[2]
