On a geologic timescale, CO2 levels were many times higher than they are today.

>In very general terms, long-term reconstructions of atmospheric CO2 levels going back in time show that 500 million years ago atmospheric CO2 was some 20 times higher than present values. It dropped, then rose again some 200 million years ago to 4-5 times present levels--a period that saw the rise of giant fern forests--and then continued a slow decline until recent pre-industrial time.

CO2 levels over the past ~5 million years are at the lowest point in over 200 million years. On a geological timescale, CO2 levels are returning to normal, not going away from it.

Well, nitpicking on journal articles is how we do peer review. I'm not sure that needs a reference.
Oh my lord you guys that is not how probabilities work. You can’t look at what actually happened and then say “Well that was the chance.” If I flip a coin 20 times and happen to end up with a 15:5 split that doesn’t mean the chance of heads is 3:1.

Also the context of that 1 in 12 in the quote is important. They’re saying that was the chance on the first flight in retrospect. The shuttle and it’s supporting facilities and processes didn’t stay static, they improved over time.

There isn't anything wrong with your reasoning, it just isn't the reasoning that NASA came up with.

NASA has the entire history of US Spaceflight in its collective memory. It has many memories of accidents occurring during fueling that resulted in the loss of the spacecraft. It has no memories of a crew being saved by the crew abort systems because it has only happened once[1] and that was with a Russian rocket.

Thus, going by what they "know", NASA knows that rockets can blow up when they are being fueled and they know that SpaceX blew up one of their rockets while fueling it, but they do not know if a launch escape system would save astronauts in that situation. Therefore SpaceX's plan is "risky" because they are exposing the crew to a "known" danger and relying on an "unknown" system to protect them from that danger. It is this kind of thinking that keeps NASA moving slowly and carefully.

SpaceX has essentially said, "Trust us, if anything went wrong the crew escape system would save them." Unfortunately they don't have a launch pad they can blow up on purpose to demonstrate that for NASA (it would help if they could). The last time they blew up a rocket while fueling it, it took months to recondition the pad for launches again.

[1] In 1983, an escape rocket pulled the three cosmonauts of Soyuz T-10-1 to safety when its booster exploded on the launch pad. As of 2015, this is the only case where an abort system saved a crew from a launchpad accident. -- https://www.space.com/29260-how-spacecraft-launch-aborts-wor...
For some historical perspective: on the Ferdinand Magellan expedition about 230 men out of 270, including Magellan himself, died of violence and/or disease (1 in 1.2 chance of death).

As Musk has said in the past, a safety first philosophy and space travel don't mix. Safety third might work.
Simple: Apple sucks at cloud services. They provide them because it is easier for a subset of their users not to have to think about getting a third-party service.

Google and to some extend Microsoft want/expect you to do everything in the cloud. Their sync clients are generally less reliable, do not support P2P sync, and do not do block-level sync. Google even syncs placeholders for Google Doc documents, rather than real local office files. Microsoft encourages people to create/open documents directly on/from the cloud (with its standard dialog boxes).

If you want to own your data and reliably sync them between your machines, Dropbox is the best choice. And probably they'll continue to be the best, because sync is their product and not some way to funnel people in other products.
You're probably right, given enough time zebras could probably be domesticated.

But perhaps there are some animals that just cannot be domesticated at all? As there seems to be some social/mental bond required, you'd be hard-pressed to find a scientist who'd claim domestication of insects was possible, the species-gap between us and them is just too big. So where is the line to be drawn?

Depends on software, subscription and benefits...

I think Office and Jetbrains are softwares done "right". They continually release updates - quarterly?... continually add new features...

I think more companies get it "wrong" than get it "right"... but done right, the company has reasons to keep developing - no new stuff? no continued monies. no new monies.
Diagnoses for conditions without a known causal mechanism should be thought of as much as a reflection on the social and institutional context as on the diagnosed person. It's only fair since it's the society and institution that needed the label in order to accommodate the diagnosed person in the first place.

Instructions for Use indicate that in such an event you should immediately go see your physician.

A pacer is different than a brain stimulator. And pacers generally try to restart themselves if they can. Brain stimulators, because of the sensitivity of where you’re stimulating (a few cm, literally, away from regions that control breathing, heart rate, etc), the least risky option is a shut down.
Most people would complain at paying more than 5% for reading 5% or the articles though, and the exact pay for what you use model doesn't cover any costs that are fixed or otherwise not equally spread over each item. While this doesn't count for a fair number of individuals, people as a unit will neither want to subsidise everyone else nor want to pay the fixed costs when they use very little (why should I pay 1x for a unit when it is 2x for 4?). You can present it as a discount for bulk, but only to an extent.

> The issue many people, myself included, ...

> my "price per article" goes from small to literally infinity

This is a problem for the producers too if they try a pay-per-unit model instead: their income could waiver unpredictably between more than enough and literally negative (not meeting the production costs). Either way, someone is gambling.

> Blendle's money back if its click bait policy is the clincher.

That sounds like something I'll have to investigate. Thanks for the pointer.
You can't do Aho-Corasick or any form of tree/trie structure (practically) without using pointers, and any form of pointer-chasing algorithm is going to have a tough time competing with the lower bounds of this algorithm, when we're dealing with 6 to 13 CPU cycles.

This data structure is specifically optimized for small sets of short strings. If we were dealing with larger data sets we wanted to match against, then a comparison against other contemporary techniques would be warranted.
He probably means a lot of things, but close to the top might be "bill for the project instead of time spent".

If you bill by units of time, you will like under-exploit the information and skill asymmetry between yourself and the client, and leave a lot of money on the table.

You should instead price as a meaningful fraction of the value you're creating. You may not know that number, but the client will more or less signal it to you in negotiations if you're canny. Something that's relatively easy for you to do (that might take a month, for example) could generate millions in revenue for the client. You're entitled to a large chunk of that.

It's in fact this approach that can make consulting extremely lucrative: someone has already gone through the work of acquiring leverage by building a business and you're coming in with the rocket fuel. You arguably should never take a contract where this isn't clearly the case, since committing to a project has an opportunity cost in your own time.
I think they’re both pretty simple languages, as far as the basic grammar goes. OTP is a whole other thing. But it strikes me that if you have one person on a team who knows OTP well, that person can assist the others when OTP issues come up.

Most planes have only two wings. Wings producing lift and keep the plane up.

Two little horizontal 'wings' at the back are horizontal stabilizers. They are like wings but installed upside down (they produce negative lift and push the tail down).
Than it sounds like Musk is disagreeing with SpaceX. From the article:

> SpaceX says it is serious about flying people safely and is going to great lengths to study every aspect of the vehicle, down to individual valves, so that it will meet and surpass the 1-in-270 chance-of-death metric, said Benji Reed, the director of SpaceX's commercial crew program.

> When Reed was down at Cape Canaveral, Florida, on a recent trip, he came across a room on a special tour where the astronauts' families from the shuttle program used to wait ahead of the rocket launch.

> They were stunned to see that a whiteboard with drawings made by the children of the crew lost in the 2003 Columbia disaster was still there, preserved.

> "That really drives it home," Reed said. "This isn't just the people that we're flying — these are all of their families. So we take this extremely seriously, and we understand that our job is to fly people safely and bring them back safely. To do that you have to humanize it. You have to see them as your friends and as your colleagues."
no, not like webstorm. Webstorm is pretty similar to sublime text. You pay a price for a perpetual license. After one year of use, you can decide whether you keep on using the 'old' version, or if you pay again to have the newest one with all the updates. I think the comment you were referring to was thinking about stuff like adobe, where if you don't pay, you don't get anything.
Possibly Fault Tree Analysis. It’s commonly used in the aerospace industry, and SpaceX explicitly mentioned it while searching for the Amos 5 problem. Probably only one of several methods, though.
That is entirely possible of course. But if that was the case, you could get a hell of a paper out of it by proving the genes responsible for coloration were tied to domestication.

The universal algebra perspective on monads is that m x is the set of expressions (ie. ASTs) for a particular algebraic structure with variables drawn from the set x. For example, you have a monad for abelian groups where the expressions are things like a+b, 2a-b, 1. Note that m encodes both the operations of the algebraic structure, like +, and the laws that they obey, because we regard a+b and b+a to be the same AST (ie. these are considered equal as a matter of syntax).

A concrete algebraic structure is a map m x -> x that evaluates expressions, producing their value, eg. 7+3 -> 10. It essentially provides concrete definitions for the syntactic operations in the ASTs.

Under this interpretation, the monad operations say "a bare value is an expression, eg. a, b" (x -> m x) and "nested expressions can be simplified, eg. (a+b)+(c) = a+b+c") (m m x -> m x). The monad laws essentially are ensuring that no matter what order you evaluate subexpressions and simply an expression, it always comes out to the same value in the end. It essentially lets us state a Church–Rosser theorem for the maps m x -> x.
Parsing this way (in Graylog) is so very... manual. I'd rather go with
rsyslog's liblognorm, either in rsyslog itself or in a separate daemon, like
logdevourer I wrote. The rules then can be written in a regular text editor
and versioned.

Also: what happens if there is a typo in one of the rules and a log entry
doesn't get parsed? Does Graylog/grok have some indication that the log doesn't match? And where the mismatch starts? Because liblognorm does.
This is very cool, and thanks for sharing!

One question -- how often does your tool re-scan for new discussions, or does it not re-scan?

I see on your public bookmarks, it shows current discussions, it would be cool to see which ones are new since the last time you looked. A further suggestion would be to include a date & star icon on new discussions. Just a thought -- thanks again for sharing!
Jetbrains does not require subscriptions for continued use of any version. Purchasing a 12-month subscription (which is cheaper than their previous "perpetual license") gives you a perpetual license for the current version of software.

I think the distinction is what the end user sees. Similar to how AWS commoditized hardware, presenting a VM to developers, the argument here imho sounds like serverless hides the containers from the end users, commoditizing that layer as well.
The first line of the article is a good summary: "Grey hair may sprout when the immune system is activated by infection".

There are something on the order of 100 shipping hull-losses per decade.

That many cores piling up, within the narrow range of most shipping lanes, strikes me as problematic at best.

The world shipping fleet is vast, on the order of 50k vessels. Marine nuclear experience is a total of 400 vessels, 170 or so active, most submarines.

Several commercial nuclear powered ships were built, the Savannah by the US, and single ships by both Germany, the Otto Hahn, and Japan, Mutsu. All proved uneconomical, the Mutsu had major technical issues, and were either scrapped or converted to conventional fossil propulsion.

Thats me here too! >.<

Yeah the hidden subtext here was my presumption in that suggestion was someone was learning monads in Haskell and has at least a basic understanding of Haskell. Sorry if those papers threw you into the deep end. Monads really were thrown into play due to trying to make a pure functional programming language useful. I found the more mathematical explanation a lot easier than any analogies involving say burritos or pipes etc...

At first glance to imperative programmers I will admit all of this just looks like a bunch of navel gazing. I thought the same thing, but once you let go of thinking of computation as a series of steps and at a bit of a higher abstraction this makes a lot more sense.

For a more soft introduction to the concepts this channel 9 video is probably a bit better:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhuHCtR3xq8

Another option might be to just get the haskell programming from first principles book:
http://haskellbook.com

Does a good job grounding you up to monads and gives copious amounts of reference material. Even though I already knew haskell when I read the book it helped clear up some gaps I didn't know I had.

But monads are going to be really weird no matter if all you've ever seen is imperative programming. Despite the fact that you already use them and have probably discovered them without knowing you did. Much like learning stack based programming languages, sometimes the only way up is to climb off the computational hill you're familiar with to learn another way to the other hill side to see things from their perspective.

I didn't say it was a probability. Quite literally, if you look at how many people flew and how many of those died, 1 in 25 died. There was a 100% 'chance' of 1 in 25 dying on the shuttle because that's what actually happened. There's no probability there.

You go chasing making it. Once you make it, what will you do with it? Do you trust banks advisors who push you into bank based mutual funds with high fees and low performance?
