Sure, sorry to be slow in replying - busy day. So it goes further than that. It sets an expectation for industry that they will need to develop technology to make the 2040 deadline.

If auto firm A makes the deadline and is able to sell awesome EV vehicles and auto firm B and C have only so-so, because they didn't take the law seriously, A is going to sell a lot more vehicles. So autofirms have to start considering these sorts of government regulations in their R&D budgets today. The investments made today will help determine their outcomes in 2040.

Argh -- good catch. You're right, `git checkout .` does the same thing as `git checkout -- .` (discard unstaged changes), and I'd been using the latter for a while before I realized, so I usually use the longer one out of habit.
> Isn't the posters point that two years ago when CA was in a drought, scientists were predicting 100 years of droughts thanks to climate change, now they're calling for 100 years of floods.

That may be the point, but it's false; before, during, and after the worst of the droughts in CA, scientists were projecting that extreme (relative to past patterns) weather patterns would be more common, that particular regions would see more droughts and others more rain, and they California is geographically positioned so as to be subject to both effects, with an uncertain net effect.

The present article, particularly, does not “call for 100 years of floods”.

Im disappointed that a hybrid powertrain was not developed. The original GT40 was a fuck you to Ferrari. This one just recycles the same old formula. I even see this as a modern approach to the XJ220, a Jaguar powered by a turbo charged v6.

You need other minerals, which are collectively termed "rare earth minerals":

Rare earth element map: In 2013, China produced about 90% of the world's supply of rare earth element ores. The USGS Mineral Commodity Summary [2] reported production tonnages for Australia, the United States, India, Brazil, Russia, Vietnam, and Malaysia. Rare earth element exploration and/or development is being done in Canada, South Africa, Thailand, Malawi, and Sri Lanka; however, production from those countries was insignificant during 2013.

http://geology.com/articles/rare-earth-elements/

Further China has already show willingness to ban export of these materials (for example in 2010). At the end of the day the risk to the production of batteries in particular has motivated vulnerable countries like Japan to develop alternative processes:

His proposed solution actually looks a lot like one early flavor of LXC implementations, where instead of unzipping a big tarball with your own environment, you'd just bind-mount system folders into the container. I suspect LXC devs are reading this post and thinking "we already have this!"
Pretty much defines a "blind trust" :-).

I find the experiment pretty interesting, how many people will try to make him go to zero? How many will want to make the value higher? If you were leveraging a pump and dump house how does that work? And home much can you trade at once? (all would seem to be a silly amount, but it has to be enough to make reasonable trades)

And how do you know it is actually real money? We used to do office stock pools where folks would start the month with "$100,000" and got two trades a day, one at noon and one when the market closed (easy to do on the west coast) at the end of the month the one with the most "money" would "win". It was fun and taught me a lot about market volatility (and that I would suck as a day trader :-)) but there was no actual requirement for money to actually trade hands. And even at $50,000 you're not buying or selling enough to move most stocks.

> Medically speaking, physical illness is different from mental illness. One is diagnosed from objective scientific tests (pathology) while the other is not.

Isn't this just because we don't actually understand medical illnesses nearly as well as we understand physical ones in general? I don't we actually know that there is anything innate about mental illness that makes it different from physical illness in this sense. That being the case, mental illnesses are just like those physical illnesses that we have yet to understand as well no?

Please correct me if I'm misinformed as this is a topic that I am very interested in.

> Any time your business is exchanging information for money - music, video games, movies, etc - there's always an incentive to circumvent it.

Sure, but the new incentive is that it is currently a better product/service in almost every aspect. It used to be that circumvention was to save money, but that's not why a large number of people do it now. The service is better, the quality is better, the selection is better, etc. Maybe I'm missing something, but other than "the artist gets paid" I can't think of a single thing that going through an official route makes better.

> I am deeply curious what you imagine this artificial-barrier-free experience that still coerces payments to be like, however.

I have no idea, that's why I'm wondering if we've hit a limit to our current system. And it's not just music, basically anything that's digitally distributed is running into the same limit.
Or perhaps more accurately, here are my thoughts on how a forum based, federated Reddit like system could be the future of social media and potentially make centralised sites like Reddit obsolete.

It would be very heavily censorship resistant, give a lot of control to community users rather than venture capitalists and completely kill any 'lock in' effects to name but a few.

Yeah, Robinhood is mentioned quite a bit on his site, including a sign up referral link. Seems like their referral program gives you $10 for each signup.

Also he says if it hits $25K, then the game is over. So it's only $25K at real risk, not $50K. (True, the stocks could fall further before he liquidates.)

- AR's killer form factor - wearable glasses

Unlikely. I've elaborated on this in the past.

Basically: You cannot make things dark. You can't use LCD type technology to block part of the lenses for the same reason you can't see scratches on your lenses: you're not focused on your lenses! You're focused in the distance. That means the ideal of having crisp, readable text overlays is mostly a fantasy. You can prove this yourself: get a piece of tape, write some text on it, and put it over your lenses. You can't read the text. You can even use clear tape to simulate what a real overlay would look like.

The second problem is power. Oculus makes sense because you're tethered to a high-end workhorse. When you're using glasses, you have neither a video card nor a huge source of power at your disposal. That means battery technology would need to improve by a massive amount just to make the glasses not die within hours.

The third issue is target recognition. The real world is instant. That means any overlay you use would need to attain 90FPS to appear seamless. If you're going to do the most basic thing with an AR device -- drawing an arrow on the ground, indicating where to walk, a'la Google Maps -- you'll need to recognize the ground + render the overlay within 11 milliseconds. This might work for a ground-based overlay, since you can assume it's a flat plane in a big city, as long as your gyroscope is accurate enough. But where would you even stick a gyroscope with that kind of precision inside a glasses form factor?

The best form factor for this would probably be some kind of "bandana", where the meat of the device sits on the back of your head. That'd look dorky and it'd be uncomfortable, but you might be able to pull it off.

The only way this might work is if you use LCD tech to dim the entirety of both lenses enough to then project light on top of them. But again, your focusing out in the distance, so trying to show anything readable (text messages) seems kind of a fantasy.

Here's proof: Pull out your phone and hold it up to your eye where lenses of glasses would normally be. I'm not sure if you could even render it in a way that would account for the focus blur.

Makes me wonder if perhaps his account balance is $25k personal, and $25k matched by Robinhood for the stunt.

My house has never had a fire, so why should I pay for a fire department in my neighborhood?

That's what your argument basically boils down to.

Obviously it's not in our collective best interest to have trash accumulate on the streets. So we all end up paying for it collectively, regardless of how much we consume the service as individuals.
We need to get the climate debate away from the ends, and look more at what is actually happening, i.e the facts. The facts are we have more carbon in our atmosphere than ever recorded, and it is a direct relation to human activities. We are losing glaciers at alarming rates. New invasive species that thrive in moist humid environments are now being unleashed. Sea levels are rising.

It doesn't take a scientist to understand that the more heat that gets trapped in our atmosphere, and the more glaciers and ice caps that melt, the worse off we are going to be. I don't need a scientist to tell me that California might have 100 years of this, or Sahara Desert might turn into a tropical rainforest. It is enough for me to know that this will have a devastating impact on ecological systems across the globe, and the vast majority of people live near water, and sea levels are rising.

I live in a state where the majority of the population is rural and most people are farmers. I ask climate change deniers if they "believe" in greenhouses, and they look at me like I am silly. Then I explain to them that what we are doing is creating a very big green house. This usually does the trick.
Color me a little skeptical - but I remember a big noise about how the drought that california was intensified by climate change.. I mean I guess its possible that the drought and increased rainfall are caused by the same thing.

When I look at the weather patterns California has had over the last 5-10 years, I see something that fits within the historical norms for the state.

I don't understand why this notion of subjective experience keeps being raised. Why is it important?

Once we know enough to create a synthetic brain, it really doesn't matter what its subjective experience is, we will judge it the same way we judge our fellow humans.

And this is fine since we have no way to truly know the subjective experience of say color for any other human either. Yet we don't question each others claim of consciousness.

It's enough that we can both say "blue" to name the ~ 490–450nm wavelength of light regardless of our personal subjective experience of it.

I'm trying to teach myself foot juggling (a.k.a. keepie uppie), fundamentally it's not hard, it just takes a lot of practice. Many of my friends growing up were really good at it. I could never understand how they were so good and I couldn't do it at all.

I'm not sure whether programming is hard or not, but when my friends were practicing keepie uppie in their back yards, I was practicing programming

There are concepts that are hard to understand in the abstract, but one of the things that a good programmer has practiced is how to understand those kinds of concepts

It was able to, but it was not especially efficient at doing so, to some extent because the hardware platforms themselves were not scalable and only appeared to be so because of brute force (even e10k is essentially shared bus SMP machine, sun4d-style).

In fact, the NUMA support in non specialized systems (one would want to say "non-IRIX") is surprisingly recent development. In Linux it is one of the things that happened in the 2.4/2.6 timeframe, which is the same timeframe when mainstream distributions started to be too bloated for lot of old or underpowered hardware.
