For me it's all about learning. I typically pair something technical I want to learn and something more "creative" or outside of my primary skills, this way the learn success is guaranteed.

For learning to happen, I really need to build things in full, be cause typically you learn the details that really matter.

For example, I wanted to learn Android Things (Android in general), and I set myself to build a LED display. It turns out you can't control it via GPIO because on AT that's too slow, and you need an external "video card". Next, I was learning how to program an STM32.

My latest project is an open source security key. Eventually I want security keys to "embedded" in other objects, such as a piece of jewelry (again, mixing something I know and I want to get deeper at, hardware security, and something totally unknown, jewelry). This is a multi-step project, and the first phase is to release the security key. I just set up the website yesterday night, feedback welcome: https://solokeys.com

If you did well in geometry you should be fine with logic.

They're very similar in the pattern of working out proofs.

That's what I remember over 30th years ago in intro to logic (philosophy course not math or comp-sci) being similar to my 9th grade geometry class proofs.

The skill to work on in an intro class is to make sentences out of the logic propositions and then work on making ordinary sentences into the logic notation.

I used to work for Alstom Grid (now GE Grid), and I was kinda abstracted from specific use-cases, but we developed energy markets [0] that I believe are relevant to what you're talking about. Our energy market tools allowed companies to bid for electricity and schedule their work. So if you had an energy hungry rock crusher that can run at any time of day, you could buy or sell energy depending on the supply/demand curves. But apparently not every utility participates in the energy markets.

This was my understanding of Cuba as well, that it was a poor country when it started.

I don't think that anyone thinks having your own infrastructure is bad, or if they do, they likely don't have much experience. Rather, I think it can be a nightmare if it's not properly managed, and it's hard to develop the skill to properly manage the process unless you've been burned in the past.

>Are weather stations that contribute to NOAA operated by the volunteer public, kind of like Weather Underground?

This would provide extremely poor data. A lot of people on Wunderground are running ~$100 Chinese weather stations that don't have proper radiation shielding, dubious barometers, and poor anemometers. While they're perfectly fine for hobbyists and accurate to some degree, a volunteer network for climate data would give non-scientific results.
To generalize, "why such vitriol again science-deniers?".

It's one thing to talk to Bible thumpers, but science-deniers are not Bible thumpers. They use pseudo science to discredit science. They gave an agenda against science. And in the USA, they tend to align well with alt-right.

They deserve all the vitriol they get, and some more.
That's a decent point. I do find it unfortunate that the term has become polarized because it is a convenient and descriptive categorical term.

I don't have any better solutions, other than maybe something more specific that tries to understand the position of the person rather than sticking them in a large group identity with which they likely don't conform to entirely.

I generally like to ask people how they identify themselves, and then call them that. If they identify as climate deniers, then the term is completely fine.

We find it terribly rude to label somebody with pronouns like "he" or "she" when they prefer something else. I don't see this as much different.
This is one of those memes that stopped being funny around 1998, but is somehow still repeated all the time.
Fwiw, modern anarchism tends to emphasize consensus decision making and building strong process; the Greek root after all is "without leaders," not "without rules."

Modern democracy, with its focus on leaders and representation, still gives us extreme power and economic imbalances and is arguably a barely disguised oligarchy.

I think we agree that getting rid of all the rules is a bad thing, though.
It's despicable, isn't it? Like, there are climate change deniers that are overly-skeptical or gullible and buy into the mountains of misinformation. And then there are those like Steve Goddard who sit down every day and work their asses off creating said misinformation (check his twitter). Actively manipulating and cherrypicking data to deceive for personal gain (whether it be paychecks, political favor, whatever).

And they're winning, considering only half of Republicans
believe climate change is even happening, let alone that it's manmade. This was probably the stupidest possible problem for the American political machine to make a wedge issue.
Which is the same reason why astronomers use red lights when using telescopes and most of astronomy related software have modes where the screen have a red filter all over it.
Funny thing is, HCL isn't actually a superset of JSON. For example,

{
"foo": { "bar": 1 }
}

can't be represented in HCL. (Even Consul had to add a kludgy hack to support HCL config as a result.) Instead, they call HCL "JSON-compatible", which I think means JSON can be written to represent any equivalent HCL structure (HCL is a subset, essentially).

That said, you might be interested in Terraform 0.12 [0], which will be using some new HCL v2 that actually has first-class expressions and dynamic blocks (for loops). And, finally, a ternary operator that short-circuits. Unfortunately, the dynamic block stuff looks like it's based around for-loops and doesn't support just regular if-statements... but we'll see where that goes.

One thing worth bearing in mind about the restaurant analogy:

The life cycle of restaurants in China is often very short - they open with investment and fanfare. They’ll have a great chef on board, a new and interesting signature dish, good ingredients, new equipment and high standards. After 6 months, all going well, the investors have made back their money. After 12 months, the profit has been made and the owners might look to sell. After 18 months, the place has beeen sold at an inflated price and the new owners will cut costs and quality to squeeze as much money as possible out of the place for its remaining lifespan.

So, a crowd of people means the place is new and quality is still high. No crowd means it’s either just crap quality, or it’s towards the end of its life cycle and quality has dropped.

Someone else can tenuously try relate that to Chinese investment psychology :)

And in many ways, docker style containers are an ugly way around not having a clean and modernized format for applications, which in the spirit of MacOS' extensions should really be a single self contained file, with a declaration of its dependencies and privileges required. Instead of that we have to package a whole OS image when building a container to go around the millions of ugly inter-dependencies between the components of the OS and the app.
Whatever is convenient in the moment so that they can continue doing nothing and selling oil or sticking it to those educated elites who don't know nothing about the real world.

CloudFormation is pretty cool. In a rather short amount of time I was able to create a reproducible deployment (based on any commit in my Git repo) that deploys a Lambda, makes it accesible via API Gatway, creates a DynamoDB table for storage, sets up Cognito user pool for user management, creates CloudFront distribution that securely serves my SPA and the API Gateway and lastly adds a record to my domain such that is accesible at `${commit}.mydomain.com`.

Then why did ALL of them evolve into those hellholes ? Let's not pretend Soviet satellite states are the only examples. Far from it. It's not like this happened in one place. This happened in Cuba, in Venezuela, in Soviet Union.

... and the utter disaster that those were were actually still superior to what happened in China, Vietnam and other South Asian nations.

This is the best, not the worst, that socialism has brought:

> “The third tier socialized healthcare is for everyone else. Yes, it was free. But it also was a disaster of epic proportions. Truly horror movie like. You may think I'm exaggerating, but I'm not. Countless people died because of lack of medicine, filthy operating rooms,…”

> “…lack of heat in the winter, broken down ambulances, overcrowded emergency rooms and last but not least doctors who were so poorly paid that they had to accept bribes in order to give proper attention to patients. This situation remained a disaster for another decade after…”

The worst, of course, was outright mass murder. And that's ignoring that both Cuba and the Soviet Union, which, again, are the better examples, did cause famines to eliminate populations. But again, a famine is far preferable to the "cultural revolution".

> I also have a young family so I need to be careful with my time commitments. Any suggestions?

Spend time with your family? Time is the only thing you can't buy. How are you going to start a side business and earn income if you aren't willing to trade time with your family? There's only 24 hours in a day.

If you are a software engineer who is so poorly paid you need to look for side income, maybe look for another job? Unemployment is at all-time lows and companies are desperate for tech talent.

I can understand baristas looking for side income, why would a software engineer need one?
This p-hacking without looking at the p-value, just graphs. Love it.
They’re not skeptical though, that word already means something. They’re in denial, hence denier. “Climate skeptic” is right up there with “pro life” for cynical lack of sincerity. Frankly “climate denier” is already the respectful term, with the more common appellations being some combination of an adjective and “idiot”. Given that a minority of ideologues, religious zealots, and moneyed interests are going to be the death of us all, I’m finding it hard to care about feelings in this debate. If anything, less PC and more hatred might actually lead to a solution, if a messy one.

There was a time when denial of this issue was really skepticism, and a time for debate, but it was decades ago. At this point it’s like debating with tobacco companies who wanted to claim that smoking was good for you. It’s not a real debate, it’s dealing with people who are arguing in bad faith for selfish reasons at the cost of human lives. Why should ignorant, dangerous people (at best) and disingenuous people (at worst) be afforded any respect or time? Just because those people pretend (sometimes) to be scientific, skeptical, rational, or sincere doesn’t mean anyone else should be compelled to meet them on their own corrupt terms.

It’s like “debating” Creationists, and it’s a waste of time and it demeans the concept of debate. Don’t let cynical bastards drag you down because they learned how to just barely pretend to be skeptics or scientists.

I am certainly not excited about private interests possessing data linking bio-metrics to individuals (I'm sure companies such as Facebook already possess this data).

Currently users control whether or not identification occurs (tickets/ids shown, login credentials provided), with bio-metrics organizations have full autonomy to identify individuals. That dynamic shift seems very dangerous to me.
Climate change deniers want THEIR water to be clean. They don't give a flying fart if yours is, or even if their neighbors' is. That's why it's so easy for them to deny climate change.

>Can you show me proof that any web single company actually has this point of view? If anything, most tech companies are anti-puritan, anti-anglo-saxon and anti-US national interests.

From CEOs getting cozy with presidents and declaring their patriotism (while running a globally important web services), cutting off people like Assange, or even directly working for the State Department or various agencies (e.g. Bezos), to the censorship that's always based on what a US-person would tolerate (e.g. nudity) or find offensive, and so on... Their whole mission statements reek of Californian ideology as well, but that's another story.
Tbh that location graph is meaningless.
Do you not see how your reply to the OP's sincere question amounts to the same lackluster, overgeneralized, and lazy intellectual stance that the people you're criticizing take on climate science?

You couldn't have more aptly proved the OP's point.
> Is the remedy worse than the disease?

Depends on where you live. In some places the entire way of life will be destroyed through drought or rising sea levels. In some places your gas may be a bit more expensive.
Even IF it were occurring naturally the downside of curbing our contribution is that everything we do is significantly cleaner and we aren't precipitating the problem.

That's one of my biggest annoyance with deniers — worst case scenario is that we're doing something good for no reason.
I've started low-carb (very few fruits - like strawberry, raspberry, occasional orange), just a bit of veggies, and mostly meat, cheese and othr dairy products (no milk though). Seems to work fine for me, was able to lose 30-40lbs in several months, without any calorie restriction.

When feeling that I need something sweet, coffee helps a lot then, and lately have been taking a chunk of 100% cocoa solids Montezuma's chocolate.

But one meal a day is probably going to be hard to keep on - socially, and just in general.
This is terrible. I actually like some of Trump's work in terms of negotiating better trade deals for the US. However, the unpredictability is a little nuts and threatens stalling an otherwise great US economy of late. Basically snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
I think this is a bit straw-manny.

Tony Heller had been trying to show that by slicing data like climate alarmists do it is even possible to show a decline in temperatures.

Although I don’t know much about the guy my guess is like most people it is clear some warming occurred, but the continuation and causes are in dispute.

People causing climate change, otherwise known as Everybody.

I’m a conservative, and vegan. I relate to most Democrats on issues of conservation, yet most of them won’t go vegan or ride public transit, etc. Democrats don’t have a moral high ground simply because they believe in climate change. I want them to make it the biggest priority of our generation through their actions.
By "SSE" I mean SSE. Sorry for the confusion.
Same reason for the vitriol against anti-vax. These are people who are claiming to know better than the vast majority of the scientific community (seriously, it's something like 99%+), despite having little to no expertise in the field.

Multiple independent governments, thousands of peer reviewed studies across multiple disciplines, data collected from satellites, billions of dollars across decades of research... but still not enough.

It's stupid and dangerous. To be capable of thinking that it's a hoax requires a severe lack of understanding of the simple scale of humanity.

I find it more believable to think that you've been personally abducted by aliens than any segment of humanity having the ability to pull off a trick of such magnitude.

> to aggregate the people that believe that climate change is not happening?

First of all, you shouldn't "aggregate" them. Very few if those who are usually called "climate deniers" actually believe that climate change is not happening. Did you know that?

In general, apart from total deniers, there's people who think climate change might not be as bad, or extreme, or as manmade, or that catastrophic predictions need some check. Labelling them all as "deniers" is just a very handy (and toxic) way to close the conversation.
Yes this model could cause issues such as the one you describe. With phrase queries/multi-token queries this becomes less of a problem. Phrases aren't anagrams that often.

A secondary index might become needed with the most popular terms, to resolve which anagram is the right one.
Yeah, although there is a difference between planning for a specific future which may not arrive, and planning to make any future change less painful.

This is a move in the right direction but I think Google has no chance in hell of establishing a serious footprint in China. They've poked China in the eye too many times on human rights issues and regardless of your moral stance here, China is not going to help a company that does that.

The Court held that the first sale doctrine applies to goods manufactured outside of the United States, and the protections and exceptions offered by the Copyright Act to works "lawfully made under this title" is not limited by geography. Rather, it applies to all copies legally made anywhere, not just in the United States, in accordance with U.S. copyright law. So, wherever a copy of a book is first made and sold, it can be resold in the U.S. without permission from the publisher.
Thank you and sorry about that. Feel free to submit a suitable page about taoism.
Does “* denier” really count as vitriol?

I don’t personally use this language, but for what I think is a different reason: if removing a noun-forming suffix yields a verb which defines the extent of a category, I just think this results in an extraneous lack of specificity (you could instead just describe the subject as performing the action). I also think it’s collectively beneficial to not go out of our way to categorize each other, but I wouldn’t be so quick to apply that to personal situations.

So, I can’t understand taking “climate denier” to be personally offensive or vulgar. If you don’t like your own view, you’re entirely free to just change your mind.
Aha! You're one of them!

Sorry, I actually never thought that meme was funny in the first place, until I realized how much it pisses off people from Bielefeld. That's when I suddenly had a mission.

What's rather funny about it is that the author just intended it to be a fleshed out example of how conspiracy theories work and their followers think and argue, but that aspect of it got completely lost along the way, only the slightly humorous aspect of the whole piece remained and got memed to death.
