Why would I use prime daytime on work indoors? Logically, prime daytime should be used for leisure and other time for work. I propose Delayed-Onset-Mornings and say we should work from noon to 2000.
These data are about low-altitude wind and surface ocean currents. Models based on those things are part of the toolkit being used as a matter of course in such searches, but unless MH370 spent months floating at the surface of the ocean, these models can't find it per se, though they can offer indirect hints.

Models of surface wind and currents were used to both predict, and trace back the possible origins of flotsam and debris from the crash that washed ashore[0][1] around the rim of the Indian Ocean in the following months and years.

As a side note, the Friendly Floatees event occurred in the Pacific, with drift around the Pacific, Arctic, and far north Atlantic oceans. MH370 was lost over the Indian Ocean.

I always wondered why Germans in the 2nd world war didn't do anything to stop Hitler from committing genocide against the jews and others. But now I understand. Perhaps the biggest genocide of this century is happening now in Yemen. Not only we aren't trying to stop it, but we are sponsoring it and profiting from it. History will not be kind to us.
Trouble is if we don't sell them weapons then they buy them off Russia and China and we have even less influence.
Pakistan and Turkey are democratic countries. Just saying. But I get what you meant.

Anyway, I don't have a simple solution to this complex problem. Should US sell weapons to India? China?
You could also argue that computation has the same tendency as building new/better roads in the cities: the more efficient and more available it is - the more of it we will be using.

E.G. as they say about the CGI - computers became more powerful, but the minutes per frame have not generally changed year on year - they've just become more detailed.

So if I wrote a library in ts and someone called the built js directly it wouldn’t have any type checking would it?

It's nothing to do with "a dose of common sense" so much as it is the reality of dealing with humans. Humans make mistakes. Static typing is automated checks to make sure you didn't. When doctors start using checklists their patients do better [1]. Static typing is checklists for programmers.

In theory weak dynamic typing works great. In practice humans suck. Hence checklists.

I also like the idea of the 'Nightmare Letters' such as this one for GDPR: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/nightmare-letter-subject-acce...

If lawyers, and by extension, the management/C-level teams of software firms - who either direct, endorse or approve what the lawyers put in the EULAs to begin with - can stick it to users, why shouldn't users be able to stick it back to them?

Petrol stations are usually on prime commercial land. I doubt theyd get more revenue from charging stations over sale or lease to commercial activities like shops, etc.

I guess in the future Movie theatres, airports, malls, etc will be equipped with charging stations as an incentive to customers.
They didn't because most of them didn't know the details/the scale of what was happening and the extermination on the camps was only "discovered" after the camps were broken up by the opposing armies (depending on the camp)

"Discovered" because there were some reports of it, by one or two people, but I'm not sure how seriously they were taken.

I guess people concluded/knew some of this was happening, but the breakup of the camps was important for validation of the story.

Agreed - I read this and saw XPS being the culprit writ large.

AWS aren’t alone in this, and actually do pretty darn well compared to their competition - we had a nightmarish time a few years back with exactly this with a VPS provider - half of every second the traffic to the memcached cluster would just stop. Turned out they’d set hard limits on packets/sec to avoid oversaturating the host, so the advertised Gbps interconnect was actually 50Mbps when you saturated the packet scheduler.
So there's still chance for the UK to do the same?

Quite right. Geologist here - I know a lot of folks who study climate and paleoclimate, they know what they're doing. If anything I'd say the evidence is even more solid than most well-informed people realize.

edit: if anyone wants comprehensive data, a good place to start is with the IPCC reports, particularly the "physical science basis" section: http://ipcc.ch/report/ar5/wg1/

This is a few years old now (they're currently working on the "sixth report") but the data was already clear and uncontroversial.
I understand what you're saying, and agree to a certain extent. But given enough time, all of this will just be statistics. And given even more time, it will be history. I've been reading a lot of history recently, and so much of it is pure analysis, all the emotions and morality removed. Perhaps the concept of humanity is closely tied to chronocentrism. Now think about what we did to survive 100k years ago..

Just a thought.

There is plenty to suggest that short-term renters are less well-behaved, compared to long-term renters.

The most obvious being the length of their stay. People only staying in a place for a week or less tend to not care about the neighborhood, because it's not their neighborhood. They don't have to rub shoulders with the neighbors for years, they don't have to keep a reasonably friendly relationship with them. They're probably never going to meet those people ever again.

Plus these are people on vacation and often on a budget, so a younger demographic, in the attractive part of a city. It can get rowdy.

Of course there are nice short-term renters as well. I go to a 3-day festival at the other end of the country every year, with 5 of my friends. We book with the same person every year, and Airbnb cuts our accomodation costs to less than a third, compared to even the cheapest hotel rooms. But we're all in our 30s and out of the "party until 4 in the morning" phase. We just need a decent place to sleep and eat breakfast.

And we certainly faced scrutiny the first time. 6 people, going to a beer-drinking headbanging metal festival? Yeah, that sounds sketchy and I absolutely understand their initial skepticism. But we had a personal connection who could vouch for us. This is also an apartment where the guy actually lives, he just stays over at his girlfriend's place whenever he rents it out. It wasn't bought specifically to rent it out.

And I've heard some real horror stories from friends, who did rent out through Airbnb and they all say "never again!". As do everyone in the condo building I live in, we've banned all short-term rental after a few nasty experiences.

E: Actually a law just passed here, limiting short-term rentals to 70 days per year maximum. I think that's a decent way to do it.
> I think this legal arms race is a consequence of America's overly-litigious and profitable legal system.

I would concur with this. From the software firm's perspective, there is less risk in being overly cautious (i.e. EULAs) than to have less restrictive and open rights.

Maybe there is a need for a standard common-law contract that provides a set of 8-10 basics and then any companies have to specifically spell out what is different in their personal EULA - and the user can either accept or reject those additional terms? A true accept or reject, that is, and not just two buttons ;)

But then why are EULAs allowed in countries that are far less litigious?

Are other countries compelled to adopt the EULA for their citizens (convenient!), lobbied or pressured via free- or other trade agreements with the USA (soft/smart lobbying!), or are we, as users to blame for pressing 'accept' without any lobbying efforts of our own?
Nim is another language with a JS backend and it is also kinda good at this: it has a pretty good type system, but it's easy to use it gradually for JS code.

You have a `JsObject` type (which is basically `any`) which lets you write your Nim->JS code in a dynamic way and cast to static types whenever you need to interface with static parts of your program. You can still also define the type signatures of a JS API as well and have a fully type safe experience, but you can do it lazily: just for the functions/types you need.

Basically you can use a JS api in any way you want: from almost fully dynamically to gradually more and more type safe way

1) We're not doing much with all this supposed influence we're getting from the sales of weapons.

2) If they can easily switch to Russian or Chinese weapons, that implies we're not getting that much influence by selling them weapons.

3) If the US is not willing to exercise its influence (point 1) or is not really getting that much actual influence (point 2), it seems like we're just profiteering off a proxy war.
The Erdogan government in Turkey? Negatory

That would be super awkward, as Turkey is the only place European countries can get F35 engines overhauled. It boggles the mind how that was allowed to happen. In general there should have been two locations for redundancy but in the specific case of Turkey, it's now looking to Russia for its defence needs anyway.
Smart and incredibly unethnical sales strategy assuming those incumbents have some say in who gets that contract.
None of these claims are true. Germans knew.

> The mass of ordinary Germans did know about the evolving terror of Hitler's Holocaust, according to a new research study. They knew concentration camps were full of Jewish people who were stigmatised as sub-human and race-defilers. They knew that these, like other groups and minorities, were being killed out of hand.
They knew that Adolf Hitler had repeatedly forecast the extermination of every Jew on German soil. They knew these details because they had read about them. They knew because the camps and the measures which led up to them had been prominently and proudly reported step by step in thousands of officially-inspired German media articles and posters according to the study, which is due to be published simultaneously in Britain and the US early next month and which was described as ground-breaking by Oxford University Press yesterday and already hailed by other historians.

> The reports, in newspapers and magazines all over the country were phases in a public process of "desensitisation" which worked all too well, culminating in the killing of 6m Jews, says Robert Gellately. His book, Backing Hitler, is based on the first systematic analysis by a historian of surviving German newspaper and magazine archives since 1933, the year Hitler became chancellor.
> But given enough time, all of this will just be statistics.

Certainly you are joking. You know you're paraphrasing Stalin right now?
I worked on a 150k LOC pure JS codebase for almost two years and my experience is different - if tests aren't enough then they're either not written well enough or there isn't enough of them.
This might be the first device I've purchased that has betrayed me in a way I didn't expect.

I don't use a Kinsa thermometer anymore having discovered the hardware was crap anyway and moved on to a Withings one, but I did not realise, despite probably agreeing to it in the T&Cs, that they were selling my data. I naively had assumed me paying for the thermometer was the business model.

I must say it doesn't feel good.
> Data are reported as a dry air mole fraction defined as the number of molecules of carbon dioxide divided by the number of all molecules in air, including CO2 itself, after water vapor has been removed. The mole fraction is expressed as parts per million (ppm). Example: 0.000400 is expressed as 400 ppm.

After water vapour has been removed? What is the effect if water vapour is not removed from the figures? Does this show a different profile or is the profile identical? What was the reasoning for removing the water vapour figures from the readings?

Simple line graphs like these don't give the kinds of profiles needed. We need much more comprehensive mapping. Looking at the sites mentioned, there does not appear to sufficient coverage of all environmental areas to give us a clear picture of what is going on.

My first question is whether or not the measurements are being affected by the local environment profiles - are there other factors we need to know about the areas in which the measurements are taking place? In other words, are there specific site characteristics that effect CO2 measurements that are not applicable elsewhere. For other untested sites, are there site specific characteristics that would show a higher or lower CO2 profile?

You note that the high altitude winds that circle the Pacific Ocean are an advantageous factor for Mauna Loa in determining global CO2 levels. My first question relates to what effects does the Ring of Fire have on these readings and my second would be related to what effects does the circulating wind flows have on these readings.

Just looking at the displayed data leaves me with lots of unanswered questions.

These are questions that can only be answered by having CO2 monitoring stations located in 1000's upon 1000's of different locations: islands, remote sea buoys, mountain ranges, savannahs, forests, high plains, low plains, continuously circling weather balloons, coastal and internal land mass locations, cities, farming communities, deserts and arid land locations, tropical, sub-tropical, temperate zones. We also need all the other data that will give us a handle on what is happening.

For ocean locations, are there dissolved CO2 levels that are affected by changing temperature profiles and is there a atmospheric and ocean transfer of CO2 that affects the readings? Does the plankton population levels change the CO2 levels, is there feedback loops here - positive or negative?

There are many more measurements that can be undertaken to give us a better understanding of what is happening. The complexity is very high and we need non-political active cooperation between many different fields to get the information required.

As I said, we need comprehensive data to be able to determine what strategies are going to be useful and what will be of no use whatsoever.

This completely ignores my comment in its entirety. Do people make mistakes: yes. Does software ever have defects: yes. Typically, people making mistakes in software is called a software defect.

It is absolutely critical in a discussion like this to understand that defects in software are not necessarily defects in data. This conversation is about data, and checks for processing data are already present in various forms. For example when was the last time you complained about weak type systems when working with JSON, XML, or SQL tables?

Git only needs lists of files because it needs entry points into its lists of patch fragments that make up the file and to assign file names to them. Other than that, a changeset is just another name for a patch that can be added, altered, rewritten or removed. That makes git a patch database in my book.

Darcs feels more like a research project to me. The developers try to find a theoretical foundation in which they can base a VCS, but they have not managed to make their theory work with the level of perfection that they want. But if they eventually get it right, it will probably have the provably best text-based merge tool possible.
Possible, but is it really worth it if they don't have the infrastructure to back up their EV's?

Also, what will happen to the price of ICE cars if EV's start catching up?

Funny how smalltalk was one of the first object oriented language, and Kay is among the inventors of object oriented programming, and yet the vision is completely opposed to the concept of encapsulation (which is one of today's core principle of OOP).

>How hard is it, really, to take a principled stand and say that the most technologically advanced products of the NATO military-industrial complex should only be sold to similarly democratic countries?

Its quite difficult, in view of the fact that the largest so-called democracy is committing the same heinous crimes as the nations you select for target of your ire. The USA and its criminal "Coalition of the Willing" has been getting away with the same kind of warfare - unfettered, un-tethered, indiscriminate murder of innocents - for decades.

So until the USA has its own feet held to the flames of justice that we all yearn for, there is no hope for justice for the 500,000 innocent victims of the Wests own, illegal wars.
> in various cases the types are wrong and the compiler doesn’t care

It's disturbing how often I encounter this in TypeScript. Or its inverse: the types are correct and the compiler is wrong. Or a third common problem: the types for a library are incorrect. The unsoundness of TypeScript is not merely theoretical. The compiler is frequently just wrong. For that reason, I am mystified by the amount of enthusiasm for TypeScript that I encounter online.

oddly enough, i also wrote an asteroids clone, in C for DOS, using VGA graphics. i am not mathematically inclined, so writing the routines that allowed the ship to act exactly as it did in the original, subject to friction and thrust, nearly killed me. i’ve still got the code around here somewhere.
My understanding is that there has been, and for many years, a 'revolving door' between the Ministry of Defence and the various defence procurement companies & arms manufacturers. So, preserving defence company profits is, I think, a built-in to UK government policy. Further, since the whole area is shrouded in secrecy, it appears to be nigh on impossible to pour sunlight or cold water on what happens in this area.

If the runtime can guarantee your function receives an instance of a particular class, that's a lot of boiler plate you don't need to write yourself to assert the same thing.
