> But it is, it’s the topic of physics, not history. The historical remains are by nature very incomplete and geology is extremely relevant when you try to interpret the historical proxies, but all that doesn’t matter if you want to understand how warming works: physics is undeniable, and all effects are known and are part of the models:

There are no sources in this link. There is nothing about physics in this link. It simply describes a bunch of other forces and declares they are not applicable, therefore co2 is the only thing left and it must be the culprit. Forgive me, but science isn't a game of "Clue". Putting up a bunch of straw men and tearing them down doesn't mean that "the butler must have done it with the wrench", or in this case, co2 must have increased the temperature.

And wasn't your link from the your last post primarily referring to the history of the earth as evidence of co2 production? So which is it? The case for undeniable physics, which you have not provided a link for, or from the evidence from geologic history, which you have abandoned.

In the same spirit as your link, here is Leonard Nimoy talking about Global Cooling from the 1970's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ei-_SXLMMfo . It has about the same amount of evidence. You can also check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_cooling to see the history of this.

> Once again: it doesn’t help to say “it was warmer n millions years ago” if the continents weren’t the same and there were no humans. Our civilisation depends on many very fine tuned balances.

Where did I say that "it was warmer n millions years ago" proves that increased co2 is not going to increase the temperature? I'm just saying you haven't shown it will. You are vehemently asserting, times were different then, so all I can conjecture is that you mean that we can throw that data out. I don't necessarily think so, but I also don't think that doing so proves your point. I can't prove co2 hasn't increased the temperature, but it's difficult to prove a negative. To wit, maybe an extreme example, but I can't prove the earth wasn't created 4000 years ago as per the Christian Bible, yet that doesn't mean it's true.

I'm am saying that what you've shown doesn't prove that increased co2 is going to warm the earth to a significant degree, and the current situation isn't caused by other factors.

To that point, it shares all the hallmarks of mass hysteria. A single central idea is put into the public consciousness, and each and every event is then linked to that event.

I also ask you to respond point to point to what I've written rather than simply try and attack a single statement. I wish you'd have responded to what I wrote concerning the lack of transparency of your link from skepticalscience.com or the graph from co2levels.org. Why won't you address this?

You don't know what future funding rounds there'll be. Maybe you raise a seed investment and then decide to sell the company two years later. Maybe you'll raise 5 more rounds and IPO.

Also, if you sell your own shares the money goes to you, not the company. I guess you could then loan the money to the company, but you'd still be liable for tax.

Going from owning 1% of a 1M company to owning 0.5% of a 2M company isn't unfair. The extra value comes directly from the new shareholders investing their money.

Employees believing their ownership percentage will not change is a problem though, and founders should not suggest that to be the case.
Self Regulated Learning

>Linux had (has?) exactly the same problem. I don't know how much progress has been made on either MacOS nor Linux to deal with this.

All my AMD GPUs have been issued GPU resets for years. I know that in 2013 my Radeon 5870 (the card I had at the time) was issued soft resets, which was logged in dmesg as a success. The problem with that is that whatever program caused the GPU lockup would continue to run (unless it crashes, which is frequently the case) until the kernel had reset the GPU so many times, the only option left is a hard reset.

On Windows, the way GPU lockups are dealt with is also by resetting the GPU, and it's the same there too, if it keeps locking up several times within a certain time span the kernel panics and you either get a BSOD or a complete system lockup.
Water-only diet is fine, but it's possible to make it unnecessarily uncomfortable (tired and headaches)

Idiocracy was right. You need the electrolytes. In other words, you should drink water with enough magnesium, sodium and, potassium. Many mineral waters, zero-calorie sports-drinks and low-sodium salts like Pansalt contain the right mix.

I love liberapay but everytime I go there I see that developing floss is not a viable career path even for the best of the best. Weekly income is no more than 100€, that's what like an hourly rate of top end freelance developer (which really a lot of these guys are).

Projects like this are a very bittersweet victory for floss comunity. One step at a time I guess.
Well, Liberapay is for donations only, hence it is not a true alternative to Patreon and such. Also, you still have to pay the processing fees which, they say, should be below 5% on average.

Nonetheless, it is pretty well-made and needed, especially since they care about internationalization.

I'm concerned generally.
An American can exercise their government-protected right to free speech on their own website. This right does not apply to someone else's website, since it would be infringing on the website owner's property rights. Freedom of speech doesn't grant the speaker the right to occupy someone else's private property.
This seems really great, I was thinking of doing something like this recently as well, although I was thinking more along lines of:

- I have a set amount of money I wish to give each month (say £200)

- Given I have setup x amount of people I wish to donate to, the system will automatically spread my money evenly amongst the creators, or using a given weighting provided

- I'll be able to add any new creators to this list and not have to recalculate the amount given to each one, given I'm still putting the same amount of money into my "donation pot"

Looking at their current system it seems to still follow the old paradigm of "set up a creator and set the amount for each of them individually", I hope that they could support something more like the above some day. Personally, the mental burden of having to continually reevaluate my monthly spend is probably the biggest burden when considering donating to someone new, which only gets larger as your donation list gets larger, so having the a system offload this I think would be a great way to encourage more donating.

I am not against validity through studies. But the approach/methodology taken in most studies on food/drugs are very limited in nature and often flawed giving skewed results (e.g. I hope everyone knows about the approach taken in dividing fat into 3 categories and how it is taken as reference to ruin health of so many humans over decades through refined oils). I totally agree with him in that regard.
I think you're confusing indifference with opposition.
Regarding your first point, it was never the claim that such control is unique of capitalism, rather that it is qualitatively different in capitalism. Other have taken the point about the relationship to capitalism in the other direction:

>Once value is deemed to reside in individuals, everything changes. Firms no longer “create” value; they can only strive to realize the value that already exists in individual space. In this way, distributed capitalism further expands the concept of ownership. Not only is share ownership dispersed, but value itself is dispersed. Individuals “own” the sources of value, as all value originates in their needs, and all cash flows from the fulfillment of those needs. . . . As the origins of value and the source of all cash flow, individuals can no longer be written off as anonymous “consumers” who sit at the far end of the value chain, devouring the value created by managers and underwritten by shareholders. Instead, they are preeminent stakeholders in the new collaborative structures that are fundamentally aligned with the requirements of relationship value realization.

If I'm remembering correctly Aspirin is a drug which doesn't have the intended effect in mice studies.

I could be wrong about the exact drug but it is something similarly common if it isn't. Hard to google because there are a million studies which pop up.
Common pharmaceuticals (even vaccines) have known (and some extremely debilitating) side effects.

While the conclusion seems reasonable (ie, some people have adverse affects to not eating) it's by no means a condemnation of fasting.

Fasting is the universal method of allowing the body to heal itself, animals fast to heal naturally. (ie, no medicine actually heals only compliments/supports healing, the body does all the real work)

2. Pakistan-controlled Kashmir has strategic importance for China, not least because of the Belt and Road initiative.

Thus, China does not want waves in Kashmir, and as such there won't be waves in Kashmir (and of course all 3 players are nuclear powers...)

Pakistan is already de-escalating the situation.

If people are already working there, this scheme would be illegal in the US. It would violate the employment contract. It might be illegal in many places regardless.

Hello, with Redis I can lose data? It does not create snapshots and has some High Availability configuration easy to setup?
I consider their role to be the people that are exploring mathematical models of phenomena that may or may not exist, so when the regular physicists find something new, there's some mathematical precedent they can use. Physics is about explaining "observable phenomena in a falsifiable way," theoretical physics is broader than that. I think they both have their place. I don't know why people put them at odds against each other, I thought they have been shown to have a long and fruitful relationship ( the experimentalists and the mathematicians ). The relationship between Faraday and Maxwell should be the shining example that shows how the two sides of understanding nature balance each other.

Pretty much the only problems I've seen it cause are due to people not understanding its role in the infrastructure, not defects in Redis itself.

Most people run Redis in-memory only (in my experience, at least). Those that don't usually sync to disk only periodically, whether they intend to or not.

The only problems that crop up from that pattern are that many users (especially new ones, or people who haven't worked with Redis before) forget that it's fundamentally an ephemeral cache. Eventually maintenance or failure drops the in-memory dataset, and then a wide variety of disasters occur because it was being treated as a source of truth, or as a datastore with durability.

In situations where the ephemerality of in-memory data was consistently known (or when disk persistence was configured with some thought), I have had the same experience as most others here: Redis was one of the most reliable, least surprising pieces of infrastructure present.

...except for TTL handling with read-only replicas, I guess. That behavior (TTLs can get ignored on replicas) was really rough and surprising, but is fortunately now fixed. Shame on me for running an old enough version to keep getting bitten by it.
But is it safe to fast on our own in a non-medical setting?

If only "the majority" of adverse events were mild to moderate known reactions, how many were severe? How many were unusual? And what does the medical setting provide (clearance, planning, monitoring, intervention) that people fasting on their own might lack?
It is the law in France - as it is with most countries - that some forms of speech and expression are not tolerated and companies must not provide a platform for them.

Extremism on both the left and the right isn't tolerated. Nazism, Antisemitism, etc. all fall into the same bucket.

France - where Liberapay is based - notoriously has the "Burka Ban", preventing women from covering their faces in public. In the UK "incitement to violence" is illegal, as are certain forms of protest and speech, and it is infamously severe when it comes to libel/slander law. Germany has outlawed many forms of right-wing nationalism in fear of fuelling neo-Nazis.

Policing speech is inherently European. In some ways, it's why the United States exists, and one of the key differences in creed between European and American attitudes.

Typically European attitudes around this veer towards "tragedy of the commons" arguments relating to violence, incitement to violence and discrimination.

Attitudes are much, much more liberal in relation to showing and exhibiting nudity and it does not automatically equate that seeing breasts/genitals means content is sexual as it often does in the US.

TL;DR: they're going to police speech, probably differently to others, but it will be policed. Nudity/(consenting adult) sexual content is more likely to get a pass more so than US companies would allow, but discrimination and non-centrist politics less likely.
>>a grilled or fried protein
I don't know where calling meat "protein" come from, but for me it seems so wrong. There are other sources of protein and more than protein in meat. So why not call meat for meat? I am almost sure you talk about meat, but could also be cheese or another natural protein source, since grilling or frying a protein shake will probably not be a great success.

Some of my rules for a big legacy code base:

- don't plan or do a full rewrite - it'll almost never work

- learn and use tools to automate the build system and quality assurance (jenkins, sonarqube, docker, git, etc.)

- take the time to improve your skills and the skills of your team (coding dojos, experiments)

- write automated tests (unit, integration, acceptance) for existing code where ever possible - write at least unit tests and integration tests for new code

- do refactoring and first focus on cross cutting concerns (APIs, translations, caching, logging, database, etc.)

- migrate things to well tested isolated APIs (e.g. use REST / Graphql APIs with new endpoints in the frontend and try not to use untested code for these APIs)

- don't be too backwards compatible (move fast and break things)

Hope it helps ;)

And yet it works incredibly well and is indispensable for many organizations.

It's almost like less sometimes really is more, and that prioritizing simplicity of implementation does more than just make code maintainable--holding that value as a developer can "leak" all the way up to the reliability of your software, in the best possible way.

I'm interested in how compounds are chosen for medical research. Do you just start with a wide range of compounds which you are able to make and fire them at a range of different potential medical issues? That seems staggeringly unlikely to find something useful.

I know some drugs are extracted by isolating a compound from a traditional remedy. That obviously makes sense.
That practice is from sending people back to their hometown or last known good address. Cities have limited resources to they kick the can back to its origin. It’s obviously not any kind of solution but it stems from limited resources and wanting to spend it on locals rather than drifters, so to speak.
Yes, I think a lot of people still aren't aware of this problem, which has been studied for many years now. Once the positive feedback loop takes hold it's game over.
The homeless problem on the west coast has become much worse in the past decade or so. Drugs have been criminalized, healthcare for the poor has been crappy and state funded homeless shelters have been practically non-existent for far longer than that.

> Also, if you sell your own shares the money goes to you, not the company.

I'm a bit confused about the distinction. I'm a solo founder, so I own 100% of my company with no vesting schedule. Although I did set aside a pool of shares for employees. But even if those shares are just sitting there in the company, I still technically own them until I give them to someone else (because I own 100% of the company.)

So that's just what I mean. I guess it becomes a lot more complicated when you have some cofounders and a vesting schedule.

I think C has broken that promise since. It now targets an abstract machine, and a lot of behavior that would make sense for a light wrapper compiles to something counter-intuitive in an optimizing compiler.

In a different time, that something was left undefined by the standards might have meant that the result might be some artefact of the target machine architecture, but with aggressively optimizing C compilers the undefined behavior is more likely to be an artefact of the optimizer.

A thin light wrapper wouldn't compile this:

static int doub(i) { return i + i; }

int main(void)
{
int i;
int sum;

sum = 0;
i = 5;
while (i--)
sum += doub(i);
return sum;
}

into this:

movl $20, %eax
ret

I'm not programming memory or registers, I'm instructing an optimizer.
