But in fact what climate scientists are doing here, and what they're doing in general, is leaning hard to downplay the science, because they're afraid of being described as chicken little or afraid of terrifying the public into inaction.

Scientists are politically leaning on the data to downplay what the science shows.

Int is only 32 bits on 64-bit Windows, that for some reason didn't go along with the times. Every other mainstream 64 bits environment has 64 bits ints, even on ARM.

But it's only guaranteed to be 16 bits anyway, the same guarantee you have for size_t.

No one will let you take the bar exam and start practicing. California will accept four years clerking under the direction of a lawyer and passing the Baby Bar for eligibility to sit the Bar Exam. There are other states with similar programmes but I think they all demand at least one year of law school.

> California State Bar Law Office Study Program
The California State Bar Law Office Study Program allows California residents to become California attorneys without graduating from college or law school, assuming they meet basic pre-legal educational requirements.[19] (If the candidate has no college degree, he or she may take and pass the College Level Examination Program (CLEP).) The Bar candidate must study under a judge or lawyer for four years and must also pass the Baby Bar within three administrations after first becoming eligible to take the examination. They are then eligible to take the California Bar Examination.

Depends on the city I guess, but I'm pretty sure privately owned is the norm. Someone owns the building and land including the sidewalk. Most cities and towns have rules regarding the sidewalk that applies to the property owner. These would be rules for things like snow and ice removal, proper maintenance, and even keeping it clean.

Now.. one company may own the building + sidewalk and the businesses inside the building are just leasing space. In that case, they would probably need the building owner to call the towing company, or have some sort of agreement to do so. For instance, the owner may delegate some sidewalk responsibilities to the round-level tenant in the lease. I have a rental property and I delegate snow removal and lawn maintenance to the tenants. (Though legally, if the tenants don't keep up with it, it would ultimately come back on me).

A better approach might be to prohibit insurance coverage for insulin altogether.

Part of the reason healthcare is expensive is that the entity paying for the product is not the customer of the product. When the customer pays, the customer becomes price-sensitive and markets work the way they're supposed to: Prices go down. Since insulin is inherently cheap, making everybody pay for it out of pocket would be both humanely reasonable and it would stabilize prices.

> Blocks become significantly more readable with Smalltalk syntax.

I'm not really seeing this–the only thing you're missing is the caret and a parameter list, which is strange because it now seems like you can't name your parameters anymore? Are you forced to use the names that the headers suggest? What if there are none in the prototype? (Also, I'm assuming '|' is a separator to make up for the lack of brackets?)

> As shown in some of the previous examples, Higher Order Messaging (HOM) is fully supported and helps make code more compact and readable. Take as an example the following code:

self view subviews do setNeedsDisplay.

> This code iterates the subviews of the view controllers view and sends each one the setNeedsDisplay message. In Objective-C the code would probably look as follows:

for ( NSView *aView in [[self view] subviews] ) {
[aView setNeedsDisplay];
}

> While the code is not that much longer, it obscures the central point of the code, the setNeedsDisplay message, with the machinery for iterating the subviews.

Objective-C has -[NSArray makeObjectsPerformSelector:]:

[self.view.subviews makeObjectsPerformSelector:@selector(setNeedsDisplay)]

Finally, can I actually use this to write an app? From your code examples, it looks like you can interact with UIKit, but can I publish an app with Obejctive-Smalltalk in it to the App Store?

You just split your math time in two parts , between teaching and learning. You don't lose time bect teach time is review and practice time, and because having so many 1:1 tutors means learners learn faster than a teacher splitting time among 10-30 kids.

no it's not.

The subprime crisis was precipitated by a lot of people taking out mortgages with either blatantly or coerced false income information in their mortgage applications on homes that had inflated values. Once home prices stopped going up as much and interest rates started increasing, these people were no longer able to make their mortgage payments.

Leveraged loans at 7x ebitda are still less leverage than someone taking out 90% LTV mortgage (90% LTV can be thought of as 9x leverage against your equity). Companies usually also have more flexibility to increase their income, or decrease their expenses compared to an average person. And mortgages have required amortization where as most levered loans to my knowledge are interest only.

All in all, unless a significant % of companies taking out levered loans are submitting fraudulent financial filings, this is nothing like the subprime crisis.

> If police want to classify you as that, that's fine. It's meaningless.

No it is not meaningless. Police see anarchists and alt-right activists as "harboring ideas that are subversive to state control", meaning, you get on their shit list.

> Arrested for what?

The police stopped the car after it was identified as carrying 3 anarchists (stop & search under false pre-text) close to an anti-war protest. A police officer then arrested the driver for seemingly being under the influence of weed, without any evidence or probably cause, and had him locked up at the police station.

So while you are correct that being an anarchist going to a protest is not a valid reason, if the police wants you off the streets (because they classified you as being shit), they will use another reason (such as: "He looked under the influence of weed" or another popular one: "contempt of cop", which rarely carry any penalties for the cops and kind of act like Joker cards so they can go with a gut feeling over solid proof or cause)

This kind of argument misunderstands what systemic risk mentioned in the article means. It's not the same as market or price risk.

When systemic risk is realized, those who took too much risk take with them much bigger number of people and businesses that had nothing to do with it. For example, you might not be able to withdraw your money, or completely profitable manufacturer can't get a operating loan to buy materials to make a products with high demand.

Totally. I know a couple of climate scientists here in Aus, and a number of ecosystem experts on three continents. They are personally far more alarmed than would be indicated by the mild statements the universities (and IPCC) lean on them to make. There's a lot of chatter amongst them of existential dread and depression. They painstakingly follow the data, struggle for research funding, work long hours, and still get excoriated by the fossil fuel industry and its leagues of useful idiots.

Database migrations. Especially zero downtime multi-phase schema migrations. Rather than make all changes at once, do smaller incremental changes to allow old code, and new code to worth with the database at the same time, before removing old code, and finally removing the parts of the database schema which is no longer used.

For example, i just googled for "zero downtime schema migration" and this covers the topic relatively well: https://blog.philipphauer.de/databases-challenge-continuous-...

That's still an incorrect way to view it given that the fed still is holding on to around a trillion dollars worth of those CDOs, and one could argue this is a huge factor in why the median American home price is so much higher than it was before the 2008 crisis.
It is inaccurate and irresponsible for you to suggest that the scientist in question used the words inaccurate and irresponsible. What she said was, "I take issue with using ‘tipping point’ to describe the accelerating mass loss Greenland is experiencing,” because “it makes it appear as if we have passed, or soon will pass, the point of no return.”

At worst, she said she "takes issue with" with the "tipping point" phrase, which is not remotely the same as saying it's inaccurate and irresponsible.

Furthermore, her "issue with" it appears to be related to a political concern that the phrase will sap people's sense of agency. It's not entirely clear.

(As far as her reasons for thinking it's too soon to give in to despair is, all the reporter gives us is, "She said she saw reasons for hope." There is zero additional information provided as to what those reasons might be.)

What you describe is a very high-dimensional non-linear system. We don't have the mathematical tools 'know' such systems.
We 'know' a system when we can describe it by a much simpler (preferably mathematical) model. This is why linear systems
are easy - we have mathematical tools to break it down to simpler parts (reductionism) and then understand the whole.

If the best we can do with the brain is simulate it at the the level of connectome/neurons/synapses/
thereby creating a system as complex as the brain - then do we really 'know' it ?

Probably not. It won't be completely ice free for at least a century and probably several, so you'll be dead by the time you see the results. After that the land will be bedrock and probably not much use to anyone. Even a poorly performing indexed fund would probably be a better investment.

You say this as if women have zero agency. To accept your statement at face value, you would first have to assume so.

I believe that if you see a problem as "caused by men", then you're just looking for a bogeyman and not working in good faith to solve an issue.

>a lot of people taking out mortgages with either blatantly or coerced false income information

Money flowed freely b/c the mortgages didn't matter. It was the ability to bundle the mortgages and leverage them that fueled low-standards and drove much of the lending frenzy.

>The subprime crisis was precipitated by a lot of people taking out mortgages...these people were no longer able to make their mortgage payments

No. Again, mortgage debt alone was a mere fraction of the problem. Those loans were levered up many multiples through CDOs and other exotic instruments, which was the real problem.

In 2008 there was a lot of effort made to blame poor people/subprime debtors. But, it's been covered ad nauseam since then, so it's kind of surprising to hear someone still making those claims in 2019.

Right, some years ago I was involved in deployment of an update mechanism which (like APT) used signed bundles transferred in the clear. (Originally this was for privacy concerns: our users were more concerned about verifying the content of the "phone home" connections than about hiding their activity from an observer.) Anyway, some fraction of the time it'd fail because of an ISP or corporate injectobox. That stuff all goes over TLS now, not because there's any large benefit but it is very easy to add. We still get a fraction of failures due to injectoboxes, TLS or no TLS.

Moral of the story, I think, is that having a shorter chain of trust is good. In our case, the chain of trust started with a certificate in the original (sometimes OOB) download, the key for which we directly controlled. But for TLS, there are several links in between: the client host's cert store (under the control of OS vendors, hardware vendors a la Superfish, local administrators, etc.), the mess that is the TLS PKI community, your CA, several hundred other CAs, and finally you.
