Are you genuinely willing to be open to the possibility that climate change might be worse than you think? If you are curious about the science behind climate change, here:

http://rsta.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/371/2001/2012...

is a link to a paper by James Hansen from 2013, which provides a technical but good overview of the whole field. My favorite quote:

"Burning all fossil fuels would produce a different, practically uninhabitable, planet. Let us first consider a 12 W m−2 greenhouse forcing, which we simulated with 8×CO2. ...

Our calculated global warming in this case is 16°C, with warming at the poles approximately 30°C. Calculated warming over land areas averages approximately 20°C. Such temperatures would eliminate grain production in almost all agricultural regions in the world [130]. ...

More ominously, global warming of that magnitude would make most of the planet uninhabitable by humans. The human body generates about 100 W of metabolic heat that must be carried away to maintain a core body temperature near 37°C, which implies that sustained wet bulb temperatures above 35°C can result in lethal hyperthermia. Today, the summer temperature varies widely over the Earth's surface, but wet bulb temperature is more narrowly confined by the effect of humidity, with the most common value of approximately 26–27°C and the highest approximately of 31°C. A warming of 10–12°C would put most of today's world population in regions with wet a bulb temperature above 35°C [132]."

The reason this is not more well known has to do with the fact that climate denial is funded by very deep pocketed fossil fuel companies and ideological activists:

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2013/feb/14/funding-...

The problem here is that many people on the right have a deep set ideological, almost religious belief system that markets are rational and can solve every problem, when that is clearly and obviously not the case. Corporations only act to increase shareholder value; to the extent that they behave morally it's because of the legal framework they operate in. And if they can buy politicians to avoid paying the costs of pollution, and save money by doing so, then of course they will. And that's what is happening. If they are doing a cost benefit analysis, and the benefit of humanity at large is a cost to them, then they don't care.

Since we can't predict the societal consequences, no, no we shouldn't 'disclose' them.

Not much of a suprise really. It fits the model that cancer cells are weaker, that any stress to the entire body might see them die off first. That is the basis of non-targeted chemo and radiation treatment. You apply the stress and hope it kills the cancer before the patient. So here we starve the patient and see the hungry cancer cells suffer the most. But just dont go so far that the immune system suffers too. That wont end well.

At some point we do have to realise more rules aren't helping.

Yes, the tax avoidance strategy Amazon uses is unique and interesting in that they keep growing massively, investors value them as a massively profitable company, yet they declare almost no taxable profit. But do we fix this, and if so, how? Maybe monopoly or monopsony laws need to be strengthened..

There will always be ways to avoid tax for those unwilling to pay (tax avoidance is as old as taxation itself), and past a certain point it gets a bit ridiculous to try and create more rules and laws.

I disagree. You could do engineering to solve a wide range of problem. Some problems are cost reduction, but some aren't : you could have an engineering composant in an artwork, a new luxury unique product, or any other societal problems not oriented on cost-reduction.

By the way, you can always find a "cost reduction" in anything you do, it's a matter of point of view and horizon.
It's two different processes. Normal counting is saying, "take a thing and add one" (a successor ordinal). It's how we get from 42 to 43. If a number can be reached from zero using just this kind of counting, we call it finite.

The new type of counting also allows you to take a different step and say, "take a collection of things and add a new thing at the end" (a limit ordinal). It's how you get from the set of finite numbers to ω. There's nothing that's "one before" ω, but all the finite numbers are before it.

Repeat these steps as much as you want (making sure none of your sets are circularly defined), and you're counting with ordinals.

Really nice tool - is it using traffic conditions right now? To elaborate, I first entered 4 hrs from Munich, then added another half an hour to it and got a counterintuitive map (see oalley.net/map/b3y): I would have expected the 4:30 hrs map to just extend a little further than the 4 hrs map, but in reality, some parts that I could have reached in 4 hrs are not reachable in 4:30 hrs. Any idea what's going on?

It seems to have issues with paths into or crossing the alps.
You don't need to assume that they'll only innovate for such gains.

You can avoid absolutes and simply assume that many innovators are selfish, and personal economic gains are a strong motivation that works in many cases; which seems absolutely true and is a sufficient reason why IP laws would be useful.
Putting people out of work is not necessarily a bad thing. The clothes washing machine put a lot of people out of work, but I think society as a whole is better off with it. I sure don't want to live without mine.

Of course, society has to be able to sustain and re-educate these people for new productive jobs. That's the part where most societies have failed, leading to civil unrest.
On the one hand I can't disagree too much with that because Lavelle admitted it introduced too many concepts, but on the other hand I thought it was a good way to challenge the player to overcome their initial intimidation, and wasn't nearly as hard as people make it out to be.

he literally said instead of real security
In 2014, GE’s corporate security learned that Mr. Zheng
had copied more than 19,000 files from a GE-owned
computer to an external storage device, according to
the FBI affidavit.

In late 2017, GE discovered he had saved about 400
files on his desktop computer using encryption software
not used by the company.

I don't understand why GE would keep him employed after the first offense. Can someone who understands corporate bureaucracy explain this? Especially knowing that he was literally running a competing business in China while employed at GE.
Productivity gains are the only way to raise the standard of living for the broad population. Automation is a huge part of that. Think of the vast improvement of the productivity of labor for agriculture and textiles that occurred during the Industrial Revolution.

Now, one farmer can work a hundred acres before breakfast with crop yields higher than ever due to technology. Would you have us go back to an ox and a plow so as not to kill agricultural jobs? Same story for textiles. Should we reopen the vast mills that employed thousands? We don't have elevator operator jobs. The printing press put all the scribes out of business.

Contrary to your viewpoint, the economic thing to do would be to automate as much work as possible. When labor is more productive, you can earn the same money in less time. This is how we can afford to not work weekends, not because of labor laws. When part (or all) of a person's job is automated, it frees them up to do something else. More importantly, they can take some workload from someone else's plate, freeing the other to do higher-order work.

How many brilliant minds throughout history never made a significant contribution because they spent their lives toiling in some field or hunting/foraging for their own food? It is only when material needs are easily obtained that the time is freed for the intellectual to think. Historically, this was only the aristocracy, privileged from birth, that had free time because of their serfs and vassals doing the labor. Compare to today, where anyone with enough intelligence can make such contributions, precisely because they're not trapped in a brutal subsistence lifestyle. (Yes, there are tons of issues about education and opportunity here. But we don't have to gather our food to survive anymore.)
Thanks. Seems like a good enough reason to not have a domestic market then.
In this case it also relies on the resistant cancer cells having altered metabolic pathways compared to your average cancer. It's not an universally applicable strategy.

The fasts are only a few days long, which is fairly easy to do. It's not clear to me if these results have been shown in humans or just mice. Anyway, interesting result suggesting that occasional fasts might be a good preventative measure. It would be interesting to know if 16 hour fasts, which are common in intermittent fasting, would have the same effect.

The article isn't consistent, either - some of these are mentioned as having been jacked up and moved several times, whereas other claim to be the oldest building in the state on the same foundation, some are heavily reconstructed.
>All so you can spend an extra 30 minutes at your job waiting for someone else's groceries, which you will then spend 2 hours to deliver, by hand, to their (assuming) nice looking house with their nice looking family, as you then trudge back to your apartment and sit on your Walmart couch, in your Walmart clothes, eating your Walmart food and watching your Walmart TV.

>If that's not depressing I don't know what is.

Unemployment, starvation, no TV.

Its weird, no one bats an eye when I work 60 hours a week but the moment a walmart worker works part time, we think that something is wrong with society.

I think TFA mixes up the API style with tightly coupling interface to implementation.

The problems described are those of directly exposing an implementation as the API.

The interesting part of REST in this context is, IMHO, that you can have a database-y or filesystem-y interface that you can implement any way you like.

So yes: if you provide an API, think of the API in terms of the interface it should provide to the user. If that interface is CRUD-y/REST-y (and a lot are), by all means expose a REST API. Please still decouple it from the implementation, or at least make sure that you can decouple it when things start to drift.
I installed Stylus straight away after malware was discovered in Stylish. But it doesn't mean Stylus is automatically safer because it's an alternative. Anyways just to be sure, I manually audit the source code of plugins before I install them. I typically do this by opening 10-20 .JS files in Notepad++ and inspect what all the files are trying to do. Firefox plugins are not compiled binaries so it's easy to extract them and then start inspecting the code.
It’s absolutely worth it. I just can’t imagine anything quieting the deniers down other than something very clear and undeniable.

> There's a lot of software that achieves new things

Precisely. And the only way those new things are thought up is if someone has the time to dedicate to the task. If that person instead has to spend 12 hours a day foraging for berries just to stay alive, then they won't have time to build 3D MRI code.

The gains to productivity brought about by mechanical -- and now digital -- automation have lifted billions out of poverty and extended their lifespans by decades. I agree with GP that the only purpose for software is to automate a human task. Lucky for us, software is doing things that humans can't do at all (or would take years of effort, in the case of your MRI picture).

Or maybe we didn't survive. Life expectancy was half what it is today for most of humanity up until 1900. Even if you remove childhood deaths, life expectancy was still only about 33 years in the Paleolithic era.

There are degrees of everything. In an ideal world, they probably wouldn't have passwords at all and trust everyone who doesn't have explicit permission to just not use AIRLINE_CLUB or whatever. We don't live in that world.

On the other hand, they probably don't want to use some complicated individualized password scheme because that's a headache for everyone.

So they pick a happy medium that keeps out the casual web surfer out on the concourse and, if a few people get it, who cares? But if a static password ceases to be much of a deterrent, then they've got no choice but going to a system that places more burden on everyone.

I think it’s healthy to be a little paranoid when your paranoia level matches what you’re seeing.

Imagine being a Chinese citizen who reads the news a lot and every couple months, they read a story about how an American or a “Western” person living in China stole some IP from a Chinese company.

How do you think they’re going to feel about Americans and Westerners?

With this in mind, I wouldn’t blame a person if they were more distrustful of a Chinese coworker than say, a British coworker.

This is how it works, unfortunately.

Didn't he only start after the diagnosis? Precancerous cells stand a better chance of being starved with fasting than cancerous cells. By the time the cell is cancerous it has built multiple metabolic pathways to power itself, making it more difficult to kill.
Thanks for giving an equivalent example in Go :-)

I think for this small size of an example program the error checking in Go is pure overhead, but as soon as the program starts to have a few more functions it will be very useful to have more options than just to abort on fail (Bash trap style / set -e). So I don't have any problem with 'polluting' my source with `if err != nil` checks ;-)

What I am more concerned about are the different ways I have to call functions from different libraries like

resp, err := http.Get(url)
...
defer resp.Body.Close()
body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)

That is a lot more 'special' than the other function calls and the bash version and probably requires more documentation reading than '$ curl --help'. But hey, thanks to your example I have a starting point and probably are going to experiment with it in the new future.

For all the others who wrote that Bash is the right tool for the job: I read your warnings, opinions and suggestions and will keep them in mind while exploring the possibilities of using Go for script like jobs.
