Yeah, global average increase of 2.0 includes some very large increases in specific regions.

Almost everywhere over land will be over 2 degrees, I think. Global average includes the oceans, and they change less.

Personally, I think even 2 degrees is too high, but we don't have much choice about that, unless we invent really efficient carbon sucking technology.
> It would be great if we just had 4000+ weather station gnomes whose families are bound to tend a given station’s climate record for generations, who knew every detail of a station’s quirks, and who always write down all the station’s data including margin notes like "moved down the runway, built a shed nearby, and swapped out the sensor" - then hand carry their notebooks to NCEI each month. But instead, data ingest is an automated process, which means the handwritten margin notes sometimes get overlooked. So we need an automated process that flags problems and tells scientists, “hey, check out Barrow, there’s something odd there.”

Hand carrying notebooks and notes in the margin are a sign that your automated process is insufficient, not that manual processes would be better. Perhaps each weather station should have a physical button that people can push to insert a flag in the database that says to check the note in the margin?

(Also, it would be an ethical travesty to 'bind' generations of sentient beings to slavery like that. But fortunately that was a hypothetical.)

Just to be clear. This is not an IETF Standard that has gone through the standards process. It is an "individual submission" published as an informational document. The IETF does not endorse documents classified as "informational."

Trading is unaffected. You can see quotes at any brokerage that allows trading futures, though you may need a paid subscription for access to non-delayed quote data. Look for the symbol XBTF18.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was a DDoS attack, as all bitcoin exchanges have suffered from them, but I don't know what they think they're accomplishing because unlike bitcoin exchanges the CBOE website is completely separate from the trading systems.
More to the point-- what's Debian policy on applying local patches in their packages?

For example-- if you do it today on a core app/lib without consulting upstream is that enough to get your credentials revoked?

I ask because Debian famously patched a library to quiet a valgrind memory error which resulted in their userbase generating predictable key material for a few years[1].

I trust them not to do that again (at least with libs that are obviously security related). But is there explicit policy in this regard?

“in human systems, tradeoffs aren't known.” You keep making this claim without any proof. It’s a gross simplification at best, and reduces your reasoning level to pop psychology drivel.

Humans are predictable. If i slash the wages paid my engineers I can successfully predict that most will quit. Thats a known tradeoff of trying to reduce payroll costs.
I've used Pandas a bit and it certainly works well, but there are a lot of library functions to learn while J seems to basically be learn the two uses for every symbol and know how to do all math stuff ;).

I'm always impressed to see derivative and both matrix inversion & transpose as elementary operations instead of googling for a library that is most likely poorly documented. Furthermore, since the vector is the basic data type, things like matrices crop up a lot more in J & APL. In Python they are for scientific pursuits. In J they will often crop up even if you're writing a blackjack game. I think this is why it doesn't appeal to many programmers without a strong mathematics background, but it's very appealing to those who have that kind of background and grow tired of writing incessant loops.
So cool, but the name makes it needlessly hard to adopt it.

I wonder if they are getting DDOS'ed. Many crypto exchanges do get DDOS'ed before a big move. It is the nature of the beast since these market are not regulated and the "elite" guys operating on it think this is how free markets work (whoever has the most toys win).

> That last chart is really interesting, and maybe quite alarming.

The general expectation has always been that most future warming will show up where it's coldest today. For the world average to move by 2 degrees doesn't mean it gets 2 degrees warmer everywhere, rather it gets much more than 2 degrees warmer in cold winter nights in high latitudes over land, while the temperature barely moves much in, say, tropical ocean areas.

The problem with worldview is the law suit is the stick

Of course one should want to avoid law suits, however if you tell a violator you will never sue them, and there will be never any consequences for violations of your license, then why even have a license at all.

People that respect you project do not need the license in the first place, and people that do not respect your project now have no reason to start as you have told them they will suffer not legal consequences from you.

Shameless plug but once I made a repository of projects to learn programming: https://github.com/tuvtran/project-based-learning
It's the only intelligent choice, although I wouldn't blame anybody who chooses to have children. Having children made me feel more empathy for others. Once you have experienced love for your own children, you feel more pity for those parents whose children live in pain, and for the children because you can feel their pain more intensely. Besides all the "small" human issues, such as mental issues as in this case, consider that human history is essentially a history of war and pain. I don't see any reason the future will be any different.

Oddly my comment is being downvoted. Most HNers act like a quasi religious group.
Do you feel that my paraphrase was intentionally misleading, or even confusing, or innacurrate? Even unintentionally? Does anybody? Does anybody think the norm currently being debated yielded any actual tangible value in this thread? Did it save someone from misunderstanding Comcast's position?

A lot of zeros and ones are being spilled on behalf of the abstract principle how quotes can be hypothetically used abused and interpreted, but none of the 40+ comments beneath my now-flagged paraphrase of Comcast's statement is actually arguing that my paraphrase was in any way distorting or misleading.

So I question the value of this norm, if the practical way it tangibly cashes out is in the form of extremely long derailments substantively unrelated to the the comment that caused the rule to be invoked.
What does that mean, exactly? You clearly couldn't implement Bitcoin the software since there's no way to speak the protocol or even utilize the data structures involved, let alone the absurd amounts of data that needs to be moved. It's like saying you could implement MySQL in Ethereum, which at least has no canonical global data store to it.

You could parse scripts and verify transactions, and that might be useful inside the Ethereum world. But it wouldn't be useful outside of it. It would still scale like Ethereum and you would need to process the entirety of the Ethereum blockchain and the Bitcoin blockchain to do useful operations.
the trading system isn't a website: it is fix-fast (data) + fix (trading) over dedicated links

Hi Eric!

W.r.t. the co-op, at the moment my ideas (or fantasies) are more about organizational stuff than the content (what we would work on). I am just gathering ideas, learning and keeping my eyes open waiting for all this to crystalize...

My motivation is to be able to work with other people in a democratic and (internally) non-capitalistic way. You are still playing in the market so there are lots of contradictions that you would have to assume, but I think there is a lot of progress one can make nontheless. For me Igalia, as I mentioned, is a source of inspiration because they have been going for quite a while and they are about ~50 people now and have a good business. They are also very democratic and flat (e.g. everyone has equal pay, something shocking but with very good rationale). They also do excellent technical work---for example, they have been the ones implementing a lot of ES6 features inside V8 and SpiderMonkey. If you want to read about them, Andy Wingo (the person I know from there) has 3-post series on the topic here: http://wingolog.org/archives/2013/06/05/no-master

On a more political side, recently I read the Telekommunisten manifesto which also touches on cooperative models as a way to do social change for real: http://telekommunisten.net/the-telekommunist-manifesto/

In my student times I was very much into activism, but since I started working I stopped "having time" for it. I was also burned out from the energy and emotional sink that activism can be. I've realized with time that the workplace though has not managed to make me more conservative, if anything, it has made me more concerned about the issues of exploitation and alienation---even in "well-off" industries where workers often feel privileged just because of the (relatively) high salaries. My current thinking is that separating work and politics is one of the things that leads to activism and work burn-out and that, if anything, I should use the privilege of being an engineer to try build a democratic workspace for myself and hopefully others too. In the best scenario it could be an example and do some little good for the world, in the worst case I would have tried and learnt something about how the world works.

W.r.t. finding clients at conferences, I am really no expert, I have actually been freelancing less time than you :-) I don't consider myself an extrovert. What has worked for me so far is doing talks about open-source projects. Last summer, for example, I worked with a client that just watched the video of one of my talks and contacted me. Last week I talked with a new potential client that just some comment on Hackernews where I talked about some of that work. Doing open-source work and talking about it is very time-consuming, so it is not a silver-bullet for sure, but something worth trying if that scratches some itch of yours.

I still feel that I have lots to learn and am making lots of mistakes, but I guess this takes time... :-)

If you did any professional software work, maintenance is changing, but passively driving by external systems depends on it or being dependent on.

Maintenance is not conflicting with change, it's a form of change and it lays foundation for more drastic changes.

Reddit (and others eg; Stackoverflow) has a reputation system. Basically, the incentive for contribution on those websites is to earn points of some kind.

The idea may be the same, but I don't see any point system mentioned for contributors here. So why contribute?
Cool, it looks that the prices for 1 months now are set at about 15000-16000 (like what it's now). There's some volume (currently it's few million dollars in 10-20 minutes, we'll see if it really goes up to a billion per day)

As a side note, I’m not sure if you’re aware but you’re coming off very argumentative. People are trying to give you feedback and you’re arguing to change their minds. The only thing you’re succeeding at is looking like you’re no fun to work with. If you’re trying to build a community of contributors this is not a good look.
I'm pretty sure just surviving will be the "big short".

There's no point buying land or other investments in remote locations. When the shit hits the fan you won't have financial or physical access to them.

Better to focus on building a robust community around you which can weather strife, in a locale that is predicted to remain habitable.

That's quite naive. You are just a pawn in this world, chaos is the dominant factor, and you'll be drawn to wherever the tide takes you. Just be happy you were born in this particular time and place because history shows peace is the exception, not the rule.

Look into a modern memcpy() implementation and prepare to be horrified. If it were that easy to make REP MOV fast, one would have thought that Intel with their near-unlimited budget would have made it so.

Look up "enhanced REP MOVS" (Ivy Bridge), and before that, "fast strings" (P6). It can copy entire cachelines at once and easily beats anything else except in tiny microbenchmarks where the negative effects of huge unrolled loops don't appear. In general, the historical performance of the string instructions is interesting and worth researching more...

Something annoying about Facebook in Japan is that a lot of people use it for work related relationships.

At the beginning it was a bit inconvenient for me because I use it mainly to communicate with family and friends, but I solved this problem by opening a secondary account where I add all the people that I don't want to have access to my private life.
> Capital expenditure (like colocation) is not fundamentally an advantage other market participants don’t have.

Except that it is. Market participants cannot all be right next to exchanges, for physical impossibility reasons.

> High frequency traders improve net liquidity in the market.

I agree that there are forms of high-frequency trading that improve market liquidity

> Would you prefer the pit days of preferential treatment by manual market makers...

This is a straw man

> legal definition of front-running

I'm not a lawyer, and don't know what courts have decided about this issue. I'm guessing they've sided with you. But there are plenty of situations where judges make decisions I disagree with, and I'm guessing there are probably some practical issues with making this kind of front-running illegal anyway. Have any other exchanges opened with rules that address this?

Anyway, I certainly don't think all HFT are evil or anything like that, but what you call "latency arbitrage" is clearly front-running and bad for the market: it's basically a "distance from the exchange" tax that doesn't provide any value. I don't know how that should be fixed though, or whether it's possible.

Also, I would love some links on ways in which HFTs are good for the market :)
That was a lot of fun! One quick request - can the level-up popup not appear square in the middle of the screen? That can be a real problem if you happen to level while you're in the middle of a fight.

One other quick request, now I think of it - can the key event handler pass F11 through? Being able to un-fullscreen would be handy.

Awesome game! I look forward to the writeup on the tech stack and how it's done.

> changed my focus to collecting as much money from the wealthy bosses as I could while providing as little value as I could.

This sounds like a bad idea. I always try to collect as much money as I can while providing a fair amount of value. You'll probably end up shooting yourself in the foot if you're providing little value to a company.

> It didn't go well and my performance review was abysmal. Some of my colleagues hate my guts because they feel like they're doing all the work and I'm not.

If you're going to do this, you are going to need to own it and not be concerned that sheep are going to hate you for not being a sheep.

Also understand that the company is never going to choose a non-sheep over a sheep that will kill themselves for the company, so your performance will (in their opinion) suffer.

Best option IMO is to try not to care if your colleagues hate you for stupid reasons that are none of their business. They should be hating their management for having unfair expectations of your team.

My work colleagues are generally not my friends and I'm not too concerned with whether they like me or not, although obviously I would rather they did, and generally I'd say that they do like me.

If they hated me for not doing overtime, then that's their problem.
Ask HN: Is Amazon “dumping” streaming video and should it be prevented?
From my understanding, Amazon doesn't currently make money off its Amazon Instant Video service.

Cheap, high quality streaming TV like this probably hurts (1) traditional TV channels, (2) online competitors like Netflix, and (3) any new companies trying to enter the online streaming market. On the other hand, consumers ought to be happy that their consumption is being subsidized (for now).

Is it fair to call this behavior "dumping"? At what point does "dumping" lead to anti-trust action by the government?
Very nice game, but I couldn't enjoy much because of my high ping. I'd like to see an South America and Africa servers. AFAIK AWS provides South America servers for Sao Paulo, Brazil.

> The guys lying in the street like that (even if not homeless) is actually culturally accepted.

It isn’t. It, however, is precisely what the blog talks about: newcomers explaining things away as “cute cultural quirks”.
I second this notion. It's amazing how, even on a technically literate forum like HN, the posters around here make the same arguments that they /need/ FB to stay connected.
