>If climate change alarmists truly believed what they were saying, they wouldn't be using smartphones, internet or driving SUVs.

Nearly all CO2 emissions in the US come from heat, electricity, and transportation. "Climate alarmists" drive hybrids or electric cars and have solar panels and
heat pumps. The internet and smartphones are totally besides the point. Not to mention that you're inventing a strawman.

>The climate change movement is nothing but globalists and the "clean" energy industry exploiting the environmental fanatics to get more grants/money for themselves.

ugh, just... fuck off. "globalists". You're a fucking conspiracy hound.

>The climate change movement is really the globalist "carbon energy/tax movement". It's a way for the political elite to control world energy use and energy production.

idiot

>Just like the "priests" of olden times used the threat of "earthquakes/natural disasters" to dupe the masses into doing their bidding ( virgin sacrifices, building monuments, etc ), the globalists are using climate change as a scare mongering tactic to put the world's energy/industry/etc under their control.

go away

>If truly the crazy climate predictions are true and humanity's existence was at stake, would we stop mass production of trucks, SUVs? Wouldn't we immediately stop international trade and air travel.

truth has very little to do with what people believe. I'm sure you agree with that

>After all, container ships are the largest producers of carbon pollution.

Idiot. It's 2.2% of carbon emissions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of_shippi...

Why relationships are 110% better than networking?
Hey everyone,

I have written a small blog around why building a powerful relationship is important rather than just doing networking over LinkedIn, social media or events.

And, how this helped personally in last 6 years of my life?

Economic security is national security. You can't really separate them once you're thinking past the immediate short term. A richer enemy will have better weapons, better technology, better surveillance, and better leverage.
NoRedInk | Front-end, Backend, Site Reliability Engineer | San Francisco, CA | REMOTE Pacific Time (PST) to Central European Time (CET)

We’re an ed-tech company on a mission to help all students become strong writers! Our team may be small, but NoRedInk is used by 1 in 3 school districts in the US, and students have answered over 2 billion questions on our platform.

We’re a group of friendly people who listen to and learn from each other. We discuss past mistakes openly so we can adapt our processes to the challenges that come with progress. Puns flow freely across our San Francisco office as well as on Slack, and we have remote engineers spanning six different time zones.

Our engineering team [1] prides itself on code quality and innovation. We use the cutting-edge Elm programming language for all our new front-end code, and have been migrating legacy React code to Elm as well. We started with Ruby on Rails on our backend, and have lately been working to introduce Elixir to our stack. You can read about our experiences with these technologies on our team blog! [2]

In addition to spending work hours open-sourcing useful libraries we develop [3], we also invest financially in open source. We hired the creator of Elm, Evan Czaplicki, to develop Elm full time. [4] Evan discusses his plans for the language with the team every week, periodically pairs with other engineers on Elm, and cracks up members of the sales team with his lunchtime jokes.

We use Amazon AWS for our infrastructure and automate all of our deployments using OpsWorks and Chef. We write a lot of tests, and use Jenkins for continuous integration. Our process for new features begins with our product team and in-house visual designer, continues with a GitHub pull request from a feature branch into master, and ends with our in-house QA specialist trying to break it before it reaches production.

We’re hiring both engineers who have been around the block many times, as well as those who started their careers just a couple years ago. We’re looking for engineers who want to work on a mission that makes a difference and who are the type of collaborators that value kindness and open-mindedness, over convincing the group they’re right.

You can learn more about what to expect through blog posts about our interview process [5] and on-boarding experience [6].

I'm not shocked in the slightest - spying is likely the most harmless of actions performed by US and NZ against Dotcom.

It's still much more shocking to me how NZ authorities de-facto renounced their sovereignty, by letting US agents free to walk all over their laws when they raided him. They did that with glee, with the happiness of a servant who knows he's making a great job for his master and rewards will ensue. It made a mockery of the NZ justice system, all involved police chiefs and politicians should have been thrown in jail for treason.
There's a pretty clear difference between stock Android and non-stock Android. Yes, random non-stock devices also include customizations such as home buttons, but that's not the default experience. And the random other inconsistencies of such devices would rather defeat the purpose.
I don't think that's what he's saying though. He's talking about empiricism. But let's address your point. Couldn't a mind malfunction as well?
>"I think a lot of people are stuck in the political climate right now and don’t believe in people. I’m a very big believer in the human race, we’ve overcome so many adversities. I feel that every generation thinks like this and that this is it, it’s over, we screwed it up. I just think that optimism around the human race is a 2040 move."

I have to agree with that. The cynicism and pessimism that seems so popular today is naive and borders on the pathetic.
And having a voice on the act of dissolution itself. Without vote your claim is always dependent on decisions out of your control.

SEEKING WORK - London, UK / Remote / Sometimes in Toronto

I'm a senior developer who enjoys translating business requirements into brilliant, reliable and secure software. I'm "full stack" but hate doing CSS if I'm honest. I've been doing quite a bit of DevOps the last few months.

Stuff I've done this year:

* Node/Java/C#.net core backends

* Microservice architectures

* React/Redux SPAs

* DevOps with Kubernetes (Azure/GKE/AWS all in 2017)

I'm consulting beginning this month and can help with small things or take on full projects - just send me an email.

Oh look, the NSA using its extraordinary capabilities solely to ensure the military security of the United States. Kim Dotcom surely represented a strategic threat to our interests. /s
Meat's probably never going away, so is there a way we can incentivize the production of cleaner meat?

Yes, by making the retail price reflect the true environmental costs of producing it.

And if that means that the supply is drastically curtailed (as it inevitably will be, as we increasingly recognize that the environmental cost is simply too high) - then so be it.
To temper your point just a bit, even though yellow light and red+green light look the same when viewed directly, you can still tell the difference. For instance, in the way the light reflects off different materials, or by chromatic aberration with corrective lenses. This is why R+G+B LED lighting is not good enough for illumination and why some better bulbs instead use UV LED + phosphors.
Thinking about it, Watergate came after we left the gold standard. The more money being spent on the NSA, the more government debt increase and benefit contractors like Snowden.

Totally understand. Just thought I would do my bit to promote Fedora when I can ;)

Any idea what you will move onto?
I don't understand this kind of reasoning. Why would knowing basic CS correlate with you not caring about memory, storage and CPU usage? It's really grating to be tarred with this brush that having an academic background means you don't know how to optimise or write practical code.

Surely not having a basic CS background means you're not going to be great at picking the right data structures and algorithms? Coders that over abstract and build layers and layers of interfaces likely didn't learn that from university.
The only mention of NSA seems to come from Kim... His logic appears to be that as a Five Eyes member the NSA and GCSB have some shared resources and that means the NSA used those resources to spy on him. That might be true, but he has no evidence that the NSA cares one bit about him. I seriously doubt the NSA was tasked with working a non-terrorism related piracy case, but that's me.

> Dotcom, who should have been protected from GCSB surveillance as a New Zealand resident, said the GCSB did not know because its equipment was being used by the NSA, which was "directly involved".

> The GCSB documents do contain an admission of NSA involvement, although it was not made outright. In response to the accusation the GCSB had accessed NSA networks, the bureau refused to answer on national security grounds and acknowledged that under High Court rules that doing so would be seen by the court as an admission it had.

> Dotcom said the details showed some other party was using GCSB systems and he believed it would be the NSA."The US government has requested my extradition. The NSA is clearly the most interested party."

> "The NSA has unrestricted access to GCSB surveillance systems. In fact most of the technology the GCSB uses was supplied by the NSA."
Absolutely. Knowing the phrase "wine dark sea" and its associated discussion, exactly the same struck me when I saw it. Plus reflecting on "verbal" people maybe missing something.
Sorry, but I will not use any speech recognition service until it becomes a pure on-device service.
Think the issue with most SoundCloud musicians is that they either dont have the resources to constantly make music videos or dont have enough creativity or want to study how to make viral videos on Youtube but instead need to focus on their music.
It might be useful to note that Bitcoin Cash isn't the first coin to be initially distributed to Bitcoin holders. I believe there are have been two other just this year, and I don't know how many in total.

Coinbase has not honored giveaways of these previous coins to their customers, so it sort of makes sense that they treat this one exactly the same. Otherwise they'd have to answer why they treated this one differently.

(Most other coins have just copied the UXTO set from a certain block height and not the entire historical blockchain. This saves a lot of space as you can start with megabytes of data instead of a hundred gigabytes. There are probably marketing reasons why it was made this way.)
Or use some other technology.
> It follows that if the future of civilization is really at stake, adaptation or geo-engineering should not be unmentionable.

Problem: the balance of the planet has been seriously disturbed in largely unexpected ways due to very complex processes.

Solving this problem by a method other than reversing out changes is an extremely risky proposition and is virtually guaranteed to produce unanticipated fallout. Even at the small scale when we try simple solutions to complex problems, they are fraught with effects that are often worse than the problem was.
I'm a fairly tech-savvy person, and even I click on ads when I see something I want to buy. These days those ads are all on Facebook (in my ad-clicking experience).
How to Boost Your Worth as a Developer: Get Clients Running After You
ZkSNARKs in a Nutshell [pdf]
> My quote was the entirety of Count 1.

No, it's not. It's the entirety of the first numbered point (of six) on page 1; all six of the numbered points there, as well as the paragraph leading into the numbered list and all but the last two paragraphs of page 2 address Count 1. Count 2 is addressed in the penultimate paragraph of page 2, and Count 3 is addressed in the final paragraph of page 2, which carries over onto page 3. The remainder of the document is not recounting the offenses but discussing other sentencing factors.

There are only 3 counts (as stated at the very beginning of the document), so even if the beginning of the discussion of each count weren't explicitly marked in a parenthetical, it would be easy to see that the numbers of the six-item numbered list could not be count numbers.
You are right, or something resembling right, as regards Kim Dotcom in relation to the US.

But there is still something troubling here for Americans, because it means that there is an existing mechanism (and/or set of social relations) in place by which American copyright interests can turn the intelligence agencies into their servants. Once such machinery exists, it is at least as dangerous to Americans as it is to foreigners.

Except for the part he's not an American so it wouldn't be illegal for the NSA to snoop his emails and no parallel construction is needed to know that Kim Dotcom ran a massive pirate site. He boasted about it and his wealth from it openly!

Kim's great at getting press and that's about all there is to see here.
It might be interesting to have AR product advertising. Using your phone's camera and scanning your house/apartment perhaps you see a TV you are interested in buying hanging on your wall. Or a cool new car in your driveway. Maybe they could even be interactive and you could open the hood/trunk/doors etc.

> I mean, Google could come right now and offer to buy SNAP for 10x what its currently valued at and Evan Spiegel could say no, even though its almost a certainty that the company will never be worth that much.

Even worse, Google could offer to buy SNAP by only purchasing the shares that Evan Spiegel holds. If the Class A shares have no voting rights, and you want to buy the company, why even tender to buy the Class A shares? Just buy Evan's shares, at whatever price you and he agree to, and the Class A shares come along for the ride.

Are there SEC regulations preventing a purchaser from doing that? It seems like the SNAP stock classification system is really setup nicely for a hostile takeover that completely screws the Non-Voting shareholders.
> Serious question, if articles like this upset you and you continue to eat meat, how do you justify it?

Eat meat on occasion, and treat yourself to the good stuff, on occasion, like on holidays. And eat the fat, too. That satiates your appetite quickly.

I realise that eating meat is a luxury and consume it as something special.
The one time I tried postcss, I was pretty let down by how poorly plugins would interact with eachother. There's definitely a huge benefit to the less/sass model where e.g. variables are a first class concept that everything can appropriately make use of. In the first day of use I hit all sorts of edge cases that couldn't be solved with the sort of pipeline postcss does.

If you remember the Snowden revelations, then you also remember that the NSA had been using their power for other then "legal" purposes, such as for economic espionage, and for a long time already.
Did the same, but from. Bitstamp to Kraken (Bitstamp took the same position as Coinbase). Kraken supports USD now, which it didn't used to last time I traded there, so I'll probably just stick with Kraken.

I imagine most of the exchanges that didn't support BCH are going to lose a lot of customers over it.
