It doesn't seem that way to me. The article even cites peer reviewed published papers where this exact thing is done, blaming a specific part or whole of a storm on climate change.

> Two separate studies published in December both found that climate change had influenced Harvey's record-breaking rainfall (Climatewire, Dec. 14, 2017).

I don't see anywhere in the article that even remotely comes close to contradicting the headline.

Not exactly fintech but somewhat related: Manual bookkeeping.

I suppose though that probably short of artificial general intelligence there’s no one-size-fits-all solution for this because bookkeeping is too varied and complex.

If everyone agreed on a digital standard for sending invoices and receipts that’d be a first step (no, that standard isn’t PDF). Unfortunately, as long as there are even companies that still send paper invoices we still have a long way to go.
> Don't fall down the fallacy hole of 'authoritarianism like China or Singapore must be better.'

I never said that.

And besides, "authoritarianism" isn't the opposite of democracy, as evidenced by authoritarian democracies.

At some point in the past, scientists have "generally agreed" things that were later found out to be wrong.

I don't see how the article contradicts the title at all. Certainly not 'direct opposite' as it even calls out specific scientists and specific papers that are in fact doing exactly what the headline says. It's not like the article headline says "All scientists now agree: Harvey caused by climate change" or something like that. The headline is very clear and very specific. It is fine.
New Ethereum DApp “eInc.” Blockchain Organisation
eInc. is the abbreviation for ethereum based incorporated. eInc is not a legal entity like Inc. but its a blockchain based organisation, Just like Cryptocurrencies which is not a legal currency. Major difference between Inc. and eInc. is its completely transparent runs without borders or restrictions. A Inc operations can only be visible to company officers and directors but in case of eInc. every thing works on proposals and voting which is visible to everyone. In eInc. everyone can see how much fund company have and how many shareholder(shares & voting power), how many members(with their roles) and every single proposals and how many members voted on proposal. Because its cross border so there is no need to register different companies in different countries and do filling and maintenance. eInc is new generation organisation which can be regulated by only its members only.

Why should i register eInc company ?
- Its transparent so anyone can see about company.
- No more Board meeting’s, because any member can create proposal and others can vote yes/no to pass or fail proposal.
- Not even CEO / Founder can withdraw single penny, because to withdraw fund or to do payment a proposal for that operation need to be Passed.
- Investor will love to Fund in eInc because then they will be sure how invested fund is being used and to spend fund investor vote will also be counted.
- Trust, because eInc runs on blockchain it cant be manipulated.

Whenever I see pictures from the pre-WW1-era I marvel at the shoes people wore back then. From the outside they appear comfortable, sturdy, and elegant. I wonder which would be more comfortable to wear -- hand-made, customized shoes from a 1900's-inspired, experienced shoemaker, or modern, mass-produced sneakers (which are pretty comfortable to begin with).

Lendeavor | San Francisco | Full-time, REMOTE | https://www.lendeavor.com/

Lendeavor is a technology-enabled lender to healthcare practices. Practitioners
— primarily dentists, veterinarians, and optometrists — use Lendeavor’s online
platform to seamlessly start, acquire, expand, or equip their practices.

Practice owners are some of our economy’s most highly educated and
hardest-working entrepreneurs — yet starting, buying, or expanding a practice
takes too long and costs too much. We’re here to change that.

We’ve built software that takes complicated transactions — like buying your
first practice — and makes them simple. As a result, our members spend less time
applying for credit, and we spend less time processing it. This efficiency
drives faster funding and lower rates. Going forward, we’re ruthlessly focused
on simplicity, customer experience, and efficiency.

The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia | Arcus Data Platform Engineer | Philadelphia PA | ONSITE

Please visit: https://careers.chop.edu/job/Philadelphia-Arcus-AnalystProgr...

The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) Research Institute is recruiting a new team to build a data and informatics program called “Arcus” that will link clinical and biological data and provide world-class computational tools to solve the most challenging problems in child health. Recognizing the central role of data to the future of pediatric research, CHOP leadership and the Board of Trustees committed to a funding plan, and Arcus was launched in July 2017. The Arcus team integrates with major scientific initiatives in the Research Institute Strategic Plan: Lifespan, Rare Diseases, Novel Devices and Therapeutics, and Precision Health. We seek mission-oriented professionals with interest and expertise in the areas of biomedical science, library science, data education, data science, cloud computing, data privacy, and security.

This role will work on a small team focused on architecting and implementing a cloud-native “data platform” to support the goals of Arcus. We are looking for highly creative people who share our mission to advance child health and who will thrive in a continuous learning environment, acquiring and applying both new technical skills and biomedical domain knowledge.

Also, can we differentiate a boson, say A, from a boson B? How (specifically, how sure are we that's two different objects)? In Chen's view?

Finally, how does space and time look like in boson's world, roughly?
The CIA at times both imagines and acts on non-existent conspiracies and dismisses very real intrigues, e.g. the belief that Soviets can't have a mole in the CIA instead the soviets must be detecting CIA sources using secret spy dust. The burden of proof is much lower in intelligence work than police work and given the nature of counter deception campaigns evidence which contradicts an organizationally important narrative can be dismissed as misinformation. This is a recipe is self-delusion, but if one believes that intelligence agencies are necessary I'm not sure such problems can be all together avoided.

“Compiler as framework” seems like a really terrible unifying vision — a far more interesting framing I think would be “type system as framework”. It’s the difference between “this app is assembled by cobbling together a bunch of random domain specific syntaxes” and “this app was assembled by combining together resources with different well-defined, well-enforced constraints.”
So far, the React team's work is focused on optimising your app code using Prepack (kind of like Angular's AoT compilation, or similar forms of preparsing that have existed in other frameworks for a few years) — you still need React itself.

It's far from clear that it'll ever be possible to compile a React app to something that doesn't need virtual DOM reconciliation, with all that entails.

For a properly prepared and motivated person, the quantamagazine article could be a starting point for further reading, for example, like lengthy review articles in subject-matter journals.

Agree. I think the butterfly effect is informally understood by the masses; I think most people will assume they have no control over specifc events.

I'm late to the discussion, but I've been monitoring via RTL-SDR and rtlamr for over a year, so I figure I should weigh in. In general it was super easy to do.

- First, check to be sure your meter is compatible. (My gas and electric are both Itron) https://github.com/bemasher/rtlamr/blob/master/meters.csv I recommend taking a photo of your meter. (helpful for reference and comparing numbers)

- Next buy the antenna and dongle. Probably obvious, but I tried buying one with out the antenna and it wasn't good enough, so I had to modify an old wifi router antenna to make it work. I just searched amazon for rtl-sdr.

- Once it arrives, plug it in and install the rtlsdr software/driver. I think this may have involved installing a kernel module, but I didn't run into any trouble on linux. (I used pre-compiled binaries for my old 64-bit laptop running Ubuntu 16.04) You can test things by picking up fm radio via rtl_fm.

- Next, install golang, and "go get rtlamr".

- To monitor, you first start rtl_tcp and let it run in the background, and then run rtlamr which connects (via tcp) to rtl_tcp to tune the device and get raw output.

- The dongle can get pretty warm/hot.

- My meter has the meter number printed right underneath a big barcode. The first two digits are 12 or 05 for the meter type. I found this to be a pretty easy way to find the meter.

- My meter broadcasts two extra decimal places, so if the meter display says 123456 kwh, it actually broadcasts 12345678 (I appreciate the extra precision). When processing things, I just add a 0 on the end to make it watt-hours. (This is true for gas too.)

- I get a reading from my power meter every few seconds. About once a minute for gas.

- I log all of my meter readings and append to a giant ~700mb CSV file.

- I have a once-a-minute cron job that computes per-minute usage for the last 48 hours. (I save that to a static file and then graph using nginx + javascript. I started out by graphing using excel/numbers)

- I also have a daily cron job that computers per-day usage going back to October 2016.

I keep rtlamr and rtl_tcp running using systemd. The rtlamr command I use is: /home/collin/bin/rtlamr -filterid=543xxxxx,490xxxxx -format=csv -quiet >> /home/collin/data.csv
The relatively new "INSERT ... ON CONFLICT" mechanism is a great way to circumvent this issue. Using that feature, you can tell it to ignore conflicting dupes, or you can have it transform the insert into an update.
Clever X: Get your items painlessly
With 2017 just behind us, we have seen many improvements in delivery services. But one thing that has always lacked is our bargaining power. Our ability to haggle and choose what, where, who and when. We want to be able to bypass traditional delivery services and their astronomical freight/delivery rates.

To make this possible, we have created an app which will make life much easier. The idea is based on allowing people to find each other and get items from each other and make payments to each other. Ladies and gentlemen, we present cleverX to you, an application that will allow anyone to make money by delivering items.

It is free for the first month for the first 50 users .

We are young and we are new! But we are persistent and our dream is to create a more open world.

Please download our app from Google Play and give us a try:

It would mean a lot to our vision and keep us motivated in improving this service.
