Climate change denial was a core Republican value long before Trump. I don't see why having an informed opinion would be a requirement here. Climate change denial is uninformed almost by definition, but as long as the opinion is strongly held (which it is by a huge number on the American right) that doesn't really matter.

What they've been ramping up is the Model 3's price point.

"The truth is the Model 3 costs $40,000 if you want a standard version with autopilot (an extra $5,000) in black with no other options. If you want a different color, add $1,000. And if you want a longer range ($9,000) to get over 300 miles per charge instead of 220, well now we’re at $50,000. $50,000 for a midrange car."[1]

The chance that anthropogenic climate change will lead to human extinction is much less than 5%. There just isn't any plausible mechanism for this. The one exception is extinction due to climate change triggering a war in which extinction-causing biological weapons are used. Unfortunately for risk mitigators, the chances are about equal that such a war would be cause by an economic collapse resulting from attempts to prevent climate change.

This seems useful. Google spreadsheets are pretty universal, easy for non-technical folks to update and have zero infrastructure and cost.

However, don't try to create a full fledged (or even read only) rest API against a Google spreadsheet. I did, and I wasn't pretty:

This issue is hosted by developers making apps unavailable for installation lest agreeing to every requirement.

Developers get away with this because, 1) individually selecting permissions is growing rare and 2) there's no pressure to explain why a permission is needed, nor specific contracts to agree upon on how the general permission may be utilized.

This is a fallback in case the primary rudder fails. You can still shift left or right, but you will take more time and it will be far less precise than using the rudder.

This is also valid for aircraft, where not only the rudder can be compensated but also the elevator (aka up/down) by simultaneously modifying the power of all engines. You can see a list at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_with_disabled_controls.

This seems a better and more secure solution than buying an actual certificate.

If they had a single certificate and used that across devices then the private key could be compromised and used to authenticate malware or pull off a man in the middle attack on an HTTPS site since your system now trusts this new CA. By generating the private key locally and throwing it away, you can be relatively confident that no one has the private key to this new root CA.

What's silly in the first place is that something not trusted to install unsigned drivers still has the perms to install a new root CA but given that constraint, this is a better solution than what Savitech did.
> But I'm not convinced addressing it is worth radically regulating global industry.

This shouldn't only be looked at as an issue that doesn't affect you. Diesel and the like aren't exactly the most healthy energy sources. Why not focus on it right now because it won't go away if we're not gonna pay attention to it.

> more likely to solve the problem with a tech breakthrough, than a treaty drawn up in Brussels.

These "treaties" as you like to call them help the tech advance so we can get a breakthrough earlier. Why would the whole world would want to advance something when there is no financial drive for it? The government speeds up the process.

> If GW is the existential threat many make it out to be, why is nuclear energy given so little consideration? I understand the risk of meltdown and the solid waste management issues, but those seem like manageable risks in comparison with the scary unknowability that global warming brings.

Nuclear energy is given a considerable amount of consideration. The major breakthrough that is bound to happen the coming 10 years hopefully is how to manage nuclear fusion. How we can use the energy that is released when 2 atomic nuclei "merge"? (to put it bluntly)

> Data seems to show the negative effects of global warming are arriving more slowly than expected. It seems like we'll have the ability to slowly adjust to changes that come, rather than imposing radical sanctions on us today. This may turn out to be a mistaken assumption, but it is what it is.

Completely false, global warming is happening faster than was anticipated and it keeps climbing to a level at which we can no longer control it. We cannot simply stop this from happening and there is no switch to turn it around, we need to stop it from rising before we no longer can.

In one sense, no. You can guarantee privacy of any given input (or any subset of k inputs) by applying transfer learning of an ensemble of models trained on subsets of the training data [0][1]. This is useful if, for instance, you train on medical data and you don't want anyone to know that "John Doe, HIV+" was part of the input. If your adversary does not take such precautions, however, then your canary should work.

I don't actually like the Go itself, I use Go because the batteries it includes, and most of them are cross platform.

Just to fawn over Buffett and Berkshire assets a bit more. Coca Cola and Amex are part of his original big four, along with Wells Fargo and IBM. Amex is the highest percentage ownership while Wells Fargo is the biggest investment in dollars. More recently he has had 3 new huge investments come in, they all exceed some of his four in value. Bank of America (about as much percent as IBM), Apple (only 2-3% but that adds up to a ton), and Kraft Heinz (over 25%) or whatever they call themselves now. That's his biggest major stake now, but a bit different as he worked with 3G of Brazil to first buy Heinz, then merge with the bigger Kraft.

And even more recently he did the cool thing of being a top or the top shareholder of the big 3-4 airline companies in America: United, Delta, American, Southwest.

There have also been some pretty big complete buy outs this century. Two come to mine. One being some manufacturing company. Another being a rail company. Both buyouts were in the low tens of billions. And then Gen Re insurance as mentioned above was no small thing either.
Exactly. I've pirated a ton of movies in my time, but it's so much easier to sit down on the coach from a long day of work, fire up the Apple TV and scroll through and watch all the good originals that Netflix has.
Airliners usually have a hardware clip to 'gangload' all throttles together, and the 'interface' of having two or more separate levers next to each other makes it obvious if you missed one while moving them, or notice that the clip is flipped so the levers now work independently instead of all as one.

Then again, in high stress situations even totally obvious signs like this can be missed, as evidenced by the Qantas 747 crew on the famous runway overrun in Thailand some years ago. I believe in that case, a large contributing factor was when the captain went to pull the levers back over the rear detents for reverse thrust after landing on the wet runway, he only grabbed three of the levers, and left one engine running at just over idle speed.
Can we just give Al Gore and his buddies 15 trillions and settle this issue?

For Christ sake, the Earth has been warning before human was here. There are a lot of extra factors that we don't know yet. At the very least, have a debate about it. This is not settled like the government funded research tell you.

If there is a solution, it will not be more government regulations. Just look the past 20 years in the financial markets, how many scandals were there and have SEC and their regulations prevent anything?
I read Linus' reply and it's not clear to me if he is ok with the regression, is not ok with the regression, or even if he considers it a regression. I wish he'd stop trying to be so diplomatic.
There is significant subtlety involved in realizing that if you bought a motorcycle jacket you are very unlikely to need a second one, especially a very similar one, until it falls apart, while if you bought apples you are likely to eat more apples soon.

Similarly, Booking.com recommends hotel room offers in foreign cities where I've been on vacation: it doesn't have any tourism detection and analysis, it just thinks that I'm indiscriminately likely to return to the same places without realizing I visit one or a few major cities in a different country every year and then the museums and monuments are going to stay the same for a while. To be fair, they'd need data about my habits they (fortunately) cannot see to do a good job.
http://www.edd.ca.gov/jobs_and_training/Layoff_Services_WARN...

> Per Chapter 4, Part 4, Sections 1400-1408 of the Labor Code, WARN protects employees, their families, and communities by requiring that employers give a 60-day notice to the affected employees and both state and local representatives prior to a plant closing or mass layoff. Advance

The layoff that I was part of in '09 in California (Netapp, ~500 employees let go, about 6% of staff) had two different groups in the IT side of the house:

A. Out the door now.
B. Pick your brain for some time.

The out the door now were let go immediately, though they were on payroll for 60 days. They weren't allowed in the building, but they were technically still employees. Severance package followed the 60 days.

The pick your brain group which I was part of were still allowed in and we worked. We had 30 days to sign a "increase pay and pick brain from Feb until July" or out the door with 30 days left on the WARN (if I remember it correctly). Come July, the 60 day window kicked in and then the severance package.

I am of the understanding that this approach isn't unusual with tech companies.
Bank employment profiles are very pro cyclical. Retail branches can be cut, but HQ buildings and systems are the fixed cost. Beyond that, as economies cycle up and down banks meet rising and falling demand by hiring and firing. This trend is especially pronounced in investment banking, where returns are especially volatile.

I think that a better look at this subject is a recent piece in The Atlantic titled, "Are Facebook, Twitter, and Google American Companies?"

https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/11/are-f...

tl;dr, this back-and-forth is unsettling to a Federalist:

>In response to a tough line of questions from Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas, Twitter’s acting general counsel, Sean Edgett, gave two conflicting answers within a couple of minutes. Cotton pressed Edgett on Twitter’s decision to cut off the CIA’s access to alerts derived from the Twitter-data fire hose, which is provided through a company it partially owns, Dataminr, while the companies reportedly still allowed the Russian media outlet RT to continue using the service for some time.

>“Do you see an equivalency between the Central Intelligence Agency and the Russian intelligence services?,” Cotton asked.

>“We’re not offering our service for surveillance to any government,” Edgett responded.

>“So you will apply the same policy to our intelligence community that you’d apply to an adversary’s intelligence services?,” Cotton asked again.

>“As a global company, we have to apply our policies consistently,” Edgett replied.
“We’re trying to be unbiased around the world.”

>Cotton then turned to WikiLeaks, which the Intelligence Committee has designated as a nonstate hostile intelligence agency, asking why it had been operating “uninhibited” on Twitter.

>“Is it bias to side with America over our adversaries?,” Cotton demanded.

>“We’re trying to be unbiased around the world,” Edgett said. “We’re obviously an American company and care deeply about the issues we’re talking about today, but as it relates to WikiLeaks or other accounts like it, we make sure they are in compliance with our policies just like every other account.”

I guess it is kind of cyberpunk-y. All we need now is for US Marshals to lay siege to some SF headquarters, facing contracted PMCs denying the validity of their warrants.

So where's the point & click GUI to select items from a page? Signed up, but can't seem to find it on first glance
When I first began, I thought about doing this, and I had done it for someone, they would invest in just the domain and hosting, but I'd end up doing all the coding, and I wasn't experienced enough at the time, so the idea was scratched.

Nowadays, with more experience, and knowing what I know now: I wouldn't do it. It's like taking on an unpaid internship, and well, I got bills to pay. I might be willing to negotiate a lesser salary until things took off, or I had some ownership and stock in the company, which might make me change my mind.

However, I did build a website, for an engineer who had a pretty solid product, and after 3 years or so of working for him, he gave me stock in his company, but thought that by doing this, he could skimp out on paying me, even though I didn't charge him very much to work on his website. He eventually found another developer and paid them what he wouldn't pay me. But I'm definitely no longer in the business of working for free, except of course, for myself.
As a once-kid who was fundamentally incapable of paying attention to uninteresting topics for longer than about 30 seconds, I'd have loved to take that pill any day.

It's not that I didn't care about paying attention, I really wanted to pay attention, it just wasn't happening. I think that's the difference - you wouldn't be forcing me to do something I didn't want to do, you'd be helping me do something I did want to do.
You’re right it was General Patton, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_S._Patton_slapping_inci....

However the point was not Patton did wrong, as I mentioned I believe he just wasn’t aware.

The point was people have massively different reactions to emotional stress. This is why two people with identical wat experience may or may not get ptsd. Training for emotional stress has limits.

You keep saying you wouldn’t want to change the virtues of these leaders. I’m trying to say (forget Patton) most times their virtues don’t come inherently from being an asshole. Their virtues come many personality traits, strength, courage, talent. We don’t have to, and shouldn’t give up thes virtues. That doesn’t meant they can never be optimized.
Well done for gracefully and thoroughly responding to the usual HN barrage of technical critiques.

I believe the warning can change depending on which of the 3 flight modes the aircraft is in at the time. Big contribution to AF447's demise was that the aircraft was in 'alternate flight' mode and the crew assumed it was still in 'normal flight' mode and made a lot of their judgement calls accordingly.

For an industry that is so safety conscious, I believe this is a huge flaw in disaster control. To put it in context that most readers here can understand - lets say your everyday computer uses OS X as its operating system, but one day, with deadlines to meet, you have a huge crash, and the OS reverts to Windows, and you have to find the problem and remember the appropriate commands under intense pressure...
For many of the supposedly "opinion-based" questions, reasonable people will at least agree on the relevant trade-offs, even if they come to different conclusions overall. Thus, when a question asks about "pros and cons of technology X", expert insight into the trade-offs involved could be really useful to help evaluate your own specific situation. But that kind of more nuanced question doesn't really fit the simple "one correct answer" model that Stack Overflow seems to be going for and is thus very likely to be closed. IMHO, there should be a distinction between "it depends on the circumstances, and here's why" and "purely opinion based", and Stack Overflow would be more useful for me personally if the former were allowed.

Edit: Just to check if moderation policies have changed since I last looked, I did a quick search for questions containing the phrase "pros and cons". As unfortunately expected, practically all of the questions are closed: https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=pros+and+cons

What amazes me is how craven our politicians are to these companies. For god's sake, just threaten them with complete withdrawal of their access to the UK market unless they comply!

I think you're reading the wrong meaning into this particular word. I would take the term 'sophisticated market' to refer to a market that is established and has largely passed the initial saturation phase. There will a number of different actors in the market competing on axes other than "who can offer the most product for the least money," with more complexity in trade as participants' marketing and sales strategies evolve, or as consumer behaviour starts to be affected by other forces.

In this sense, China is a less sophisticated market – that's not a problem or a negative, it's just a different stage of market development. It's reasonable to point out that sales behaviour will be different for that market as a result.

There's a style of debating where you split into two teams to argue for and against a proposition and it doesn't really matter what you believe, the winners are the ones making the best argument. For instance the Cambridge Union https://cus.org/members/debating/what-debating

Your friends points sound like he's making arguments against warming because that's the team he's on as it were. There's a bit of a human tendency to split into warring teams rather than all pull together. Blame evolution perhaps.

If they had an actual root CA with a private key, they'd sign it locally (on the company machine). In no scenario would the company's private key be given to a customer (unless we're talking about Adobe).
I prefer the swiss cheese model.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_cheese_model

"In the Swiss Cheese model, an organisation's defenses against failure are modeled as a series of barriers, represented as slices of cheese. The holes in the slices represent weaknesses in individual parts of the system and are continually varying in size and position across the slices. The system produces failures when a hole in each slice momentarily aligns, permitting (in Reason's words) "a trajectory of accident opportunity", so that a hazard passes through holes in all of the slices, leading to a failure."

A series of minor failures that combine for a serious crisis seems very relatable.
