From what he said it seems like he might tout rejoining the agreements in some way in exchange for concessions from European countries. Could be a really smart move.
The general relativity-based description of gravity you've provided is no more in conflict with a quantum (i.e. particle) theory of gravity than Newton's Laws are in conflict with the Schrodinger equation.

They're just different tools that are applicable to different domains, and if we had one without the other, or if the two were inconsistent, we would definitely have an incomplete model of physical law.

This isn't just some sociological quirk: The three other forces of nature are well described by quantum field theories---with plenty of experimental data to back those theories up. So why would the fourth be any different? It's just that gravity is the weakest force by far, so its QFT machinery is the hardest to observe.
Except this is misleading because those points would only be good if they didn't have a very clear reason, which the top reply to this comment lays out very well.
I read the article. I don't think you read my comment. I posted the article to cite a positive interpretation of the statistics I claimed.

I made no claims about which policies were better or worse. If you have issues with the one claim I did make, that the implication that red states would fare poorly without blue states is not farfetched, I do not believe you have adequately articulated them.

From the article:

> Red state economies based on energy extraction, agriculture and suburban sprawl may have lower wages, higher poverty rates and lower levels of education on average than those of blue states
Oh boy, so many users disliking Facebook in this thread.

> — a full one-third of my window is covered by a pop-over trying to get me to sign in or sign up for Facebook.

I get that John is clearly annoyed by a certain aspects of Facebook, but, I feel like it's unfair to say "Fuck Facebook" based on that. Facebook posts are primarily meant to be shared on the social network and not on the web. You can, of course, share it on the web, if the author of the post wishes to. But, Facebook has an amazing Notes features, which basically acts like a personalized blog. Long posts are meant to be shared via Notes and not the regular status update posts.

Check out this awesome note created by Kent Beck: https://www.facebook.com/notes/kent-beck/mastering-programmi...

They don't put a pop-over that takes up 1/3 of your page.

Also, I see a lot of people complaining about timesuck and how getting off of Facebook has improved their lives. How is any of it Facebook's fault? If anything, it means that it's a win for Facebook since they're providing good content that interests you, the user.

Also, stating that Facebook is trying to kill the open web is a bit ridiculous to say. Facebook's main sell is their content. They're not a search engine. They don't have to let non-Facebook users access their protected content. Yes, they do have a search engine that searches across the Facebook platform, but, you'd have to be a Facebook user in order to be able to search for it. Facebook got a lot of heat a few years ago for the lack of proper privacy features. Now, people complain about not having access to somebody else's content? There is no way everybody in this world can be satisfied.

Also, expecting Facebook to allow Internet Archive to index Facebook's content is unfair. Why should Facebook allow Internet Archive to index their protected content? The content is for the users to share with whoever they wish to share with, which may not necessarily be everybody in the world.
Anyone familiar enough in this area that can help me answer these questions:

-gravitational waves also propogate at c so how did they escape the event horizons from which they originated?

-what and where was/is the "more energy than all stars emit as light in the universe"--10^34 megatons--released from? From matter in the accretion disk orbiting the black holes?

-the article says these two were spinning non-uniformly. Can we know if the bh's are spinning or just the stuff around them?

What's the downside to keeping the account but just not posting to it or checking your news feed? That's roughly what I do, and so can still use it for events and such. I also have it set to email me if my wife or my mom posts a picture. (My mom posts about once a month, and it's more often than not a picture of one of my kids... ;) ) Anyone else I care about (and only the people I really care about) I have on Instagram, which I check every day. But my Facebook feed I view approximately never.
I LOVE Facebook, even though I never use it.

Before FB, my email was clogged with trivial crap that family members and aquaintances​ forwarded to everyone in their address book, including me. Now that never happens. Based on everyone else's complaints, it sounds like that stuff has moved to FB leaving my inbox a much more useful place.

I'm amazed at the things people manage to have no knowledge about.

A routine that satisfies the latter is an example of a non-preemptible routine. Interrupting means temporarily suspending the current processing flow and doing something else. Like, when a hardware interrupt has fired (data arrived on the network interface or the sound card, need to process right now...).

They could ask the same question - why is the US allowed to have higher per-capita emissions?

There are reasonable answers in this subthread but don't discount the simplest one, which is that they asked and nobody at the client thought about it for more than 15 seconds.

Or the even simpler answer, which is that they didn't ask.

What makes these points disappointing?
The one crucial point that IMO is very false:
That the US is "already ahead". The US produces around
2-2.5x the CO2 per capita compared to EU and China (which interestingly are similar
now after China's economic rise).

Coal isn't really relevant. What's most relevant is the way you do housing and living: Poorly isolated homes spread across the countr, far from work and cultural centers, with its inhabitants insiting on having 20C in summer and 23C in winter and driving huge trucks to work alone.
I think that's actually an unreasonably strict interpretation of OO, actually.

First, lack of classes is no reason to eliminate JS, it's not Class-Oriented programming. (not that I think JS is particularly OO; certainly not "completely OO")

Second, it's not Object-Only programming, so I'm not sure why you'd rule out any language with primitives. Much as I detest Java-style OO, I think it's very clear that its orientation is towards objects.

And third, even if you want to stick to those two rules, what about Ruby? Every value is an object, it has classes, and you can't write functions (only methods).

From the point of view of role of government in people's lives

My guess has always been that the difference comes about because smaller communities can organize to solve problems without government help, so they lean towards 'limited government'. Larger communities have a naturally harder time organizing, and so they lean towards government programs.

If your community is 1,000 people and 1% of your population is homeless, you probably know the names of all 10 people and figure out a solution case by case. If your community is 10,000,000... that's 100,000 homeless people, which is a wholly different problem.
Good points, thanks for sharing.

I have a feeling the OP on this comment thread is probably from Phoenix, and was most likely promoting local action as opposed to what may happen in big cities across the country. But it will be very interesting to see how this plays out over time.
Political views aren't binary.

Not that Trump is a true conservative, but ...

Our current political system more or less forces binary choices.

E.g. take the case of the Supreme Court. Unequivocally Gorsuch is a much more conservative appointee than Garland would have been.

Were Trump's negatives so high (in Brooks' eyes) that Brooks was willing to accept perhaps two or three liberal court appointees from Hillary rather than live with Trump's baggage? Apparently so!
I believe that was the point of the GP
1) Good - states' actions are how the constitution was framed

2) Weird - the governors appear to be taking action unilaterally by executive decree, which is how the Paris accord was originally agreed to (Obama) and reversed (Trump)

This might be the best of all worlds. Blue states can join the alliance, and red states can stay out. Everyone's happy and the economic effects can play out as they will.
I just don't see them as that big of a time saver. The cooking and cleaning is still the same. Meal planning is a little easier though. I get recipe cards from them, red plate, etc. Then use kroger clicklist
Maybe the arborist considered the options you just outlined, and there are some good reasons for not deciding to go with it?

Somehow it feels like the arborist who has worked on this project for 7+ years might have done more due diligence than someone who created a HN account just to post a few sentences to complain about it.
Needlessly polarizing comment.

Trump managed to lie his way into power, no politician in recorded history has said so many things that were patently un-true in order to get to where he is today.

Those 'left-wingers' you refer to are also right wing, the United States doesn't currently have a left wing, all it has is right wing and elitist (or maybe slightly more right wing).

A functioning left would probably take more votes away from the Republicans than from the Democrats. Good luck getting that off the ground with the electoral college and the influence of money the way things are today.
Gruber's post is overly dramatic.

He was an Apple fanboy for the longest time, and didn't see that eco-system as an attack on interoperability?

The only difference I see here is he doesn't like FB.
"Voluntary" is an old-fashioned term of art; it means "you volunteer your version of events to the information to the IRS" rather than "the IRS sends you what they know".
FYI, I'm not into politics

Not meant as an attack on you, but but choosing not to be into politics basically means you occupy a secure enough position in society not to have to deal with personal anxiety about how political developments might impact you personally. Put more simply, you can afford to ignore politics but others cannot.

It's worth trying to imagine yourself yourself in the position of others on a regular basis so as to get a better understanding of why or how political issues might seem more urgent to them, not least people whose outlook you disagree with. I can readily see why economically disadvantaged coal miners in West virginia would support Trump, for example, since they don't see how the shift to carbon-free technology is going to benefit them economically. Of course I also think they're going to be severely disappointed, but I don't regret the effort invested in trying to understand their political alignment.
On per capita basis, we're more than double china. Getting US to china levels on per capita basis would make a huge difference in preventing climate change.

You guys need to pick which figure to quote. Here's a number from 2015, from NPR: http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/12/12/459502597/....

Quote: "To help developing countries switch from fossil fuels to greener sources of energy and adapt to the effects of climate change, the developed world will provide $100 billion a year". And further: "Developed countries won inclusion of language that would up the ante in subsequent years," Chris explains, "so that financial aid will keep ramping up over time."

Or straight from the agreement: "Agreement shall set a new collective quantified goal from a floor of USD 100 billion per year, taking into account the needs and priorities of developing countries"

While that's $100B/yr from the "developed world" as a whole, we all know by the example of NATO what that _really_ means.

>Under the auspices of the Paris agreement, the Obama administration pledged to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by between 26% and 28% below the 2005 level by 2025. Much of that change already is well under way, though, as a result of factors outside of any president’s control: slower economic growth following the financial crisis, the shale gas revolution that has replaced a third of coal use and shifting driving habits.

>The Rhodium Group calculates that the U.S. still will come close to a 17% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions as soon as 2020, though it predicts no more significant progress in the remaining five years. The U.S. Energy Information Administration projected shortly before Mr. Obama took office that greenhouse gas emissions would rise by about 1% a year in the next several years, but they fell sharply. Very little of that had to do with Mr. Obama’s decisions.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/why-paris-matters-less-than-it-...

Progress is and will continue to be made regardless of backing out.

It will be interesting to see if the other countries back out. If people are attaching a lot of importance to this agreement, and other countries back out since the US did, the other countries will look awfully hypocritical.
Why is the Paris Accord "bad"?

A major economic and ecological policy agreed on by nearly the entire planet is no small task. It took years to create and is a compromise - we can do better and that was the plan, to iterate on it.
That the routines are not preemptible means that an interrupt cannot run while that piece of code is running until it turns interrupts back on.

The point of this whole thing is to be able to write to "read-only" memory occasionally and be able to do it securely. That way things that aren't updated much (or that you have to be ultra careful with) can't be updated accidentally or via an exploit somewhere else in the kernel. If the memory is marked read-only most of the time then the CPU will prevent you from messing with it.

So you're supposed to start the process with one of these new functions (allowing writes), make the change, then end the process (locking the memory into read-only mode again) with another function.

This is where interrupts are dangerous. If interrupts were on then at anytime the kernel may switch what it's doing to do something else that it considers to be higher priority.

If the interrupt happens between when the work starts and the work ends then while the interrupt is running that memory is not read-only mode when code you don't control gets to run. On a very busy system you might be able to use a bug in another part of the kernel to update something that is supposed to be "read-only" because that protection is temporarily turned off.

By making it so an interrupt can't run you don't have to worry about that case.

There are a number of things in the kernel have to be run in the same mode for various reasons.

Sidenote: I've been following the LWN articles on the Linux kernel for a very long time and have learned a TON of interesting information about how all sorts of low level things work and the problems that can arise. I strongly recommend a subscription to LWN if you have any interest in this kind of stuff .

1. The waves didn't originate from inside the event horizons, but from the area around the black holes, where space is still very heavily warped.

2. Imagine you have two serious dents in some stiff plastic sheet. By tapping on the plastic with a hammer, you can't get rid of them, but you can sort of move the dents around. Now imagine that you maneuver the dents towards each other, so they merge into one bigger dent, and as that happens the sheet makes a dull thumping sound as the rigid material snaps into a radically different shape. That's a little like what happened here.

3. Yes, black holes maintain the spin they had before they became black holes (and in fact their angular momentum is vastly increased in the process, just like any spinning thing that reduces its radius).

A group leaving the country doesn't give 2 shits about the constitution. It comes down to how much you are willing to fight for it, and both sides would end up with nukes.
They're not held to the same standard because if they were, they would rightfull refuse to sign on:

China's GDP was 10.87 trillion USD in 2015 vs 17.95 trillion USD for the US. GDP per capita was 7,926 in 2015 vs 55,836 in the US. China is still a poor country.

When China reaches a comparable GDP per capita, then we can expect comparable cuts to be on the table.

Until then expecting sharp cuts from developing countries will not be a viable alternative.
Context matters a great deal. If you treat facts as binary variables then you're not going to develop a very sophisticated understanding of any issue.
Well no it wouldn't. Per capita doesn't matter as much as total emissions. Amdahl's Law. China contributes more than double the next country in terms of green house gasses, and they are contributing more per capita year over year. This is why China curbing their emissions would have a bigger effect than anyone. If they cut their per capita emissions in half, global emissions will be reduced by 1/6th. If US cuts their per capita emissions in half, global emissions will be reduce by 1/12th.

Which one of these alternatives is better for the environment?
It's a last measure for Google since otherwise the percent of people using ad blockers (that block all ads) will become so large that Google will crippled beyond recovery.

There hope is that if a blocker is built in natively, new users won't install a third party blocker. And there blocker will allow most all their ads, but block all competitor ad's that are especially annoying. And people will presumably hate ads less.

This will most likely backfire since everyone who never considered installing an ad blocker will now have it by default.

Then eventually, Google will without question eventually block third party blockers. They will say they unsafe, negatively affect performance, or insert any excuse. Then everyone will be stuck viewing all their google ads.

If Google were to block blockers now, they would be destroyed by the public, but assume that if they offer a blocker that there maybe less backlash and hoping people won't leave for Safari or Firefox.
