> The planet is about 1C above baseline temps. Which is pretty much where the models predicted.

Sorry, but the fact is, as I said, that the actual temperature has been below the 95% confidence interval of the models for some time now. It is not "pretty much where the models predicted". Whether it's "about 1C above baseline temps" depends on where you pick the baseline, and there are at least as many choices of baseline as there are climate scientists.

> Using model runs based on much higher emissions scenarios than what actually occurred.

Sorry, but there are no model runs based on much higher emissions than what actually occurred. In fact it's the opposite: the actual emissions scenario that has happened is about the same as the worst case (highest) of the three classes of models (the "business as usual" models that assumed that no effort would be made to curb emissions). The only reason the actual emissions are a bit lower than that worst case model class, instead of as high or higher, is that the US shift to natural gas over the past 10 or 15 years cut US emissions almost in half. But actual emissions are significantly higher than the middle of the three model classes (the one that assumed some emissions cuts would be made), and much higher than the lowest of the three model classes (the one that assumed drastic emissions cuts would be made). So two out of the three classes of model runs were based on emissions significantly lower than what actually occurred. And yet temperatures, as I said, are lower than the low end of the 95% confidence interval.

And in fact, the disparity between the models and the data is even worse than what I just said, because the 95% confidence interval that always gets quoted is based on all three of the model sets. Which makes no sense at all, because two of those model sets were based on emissions scenarios different from what actually occurred, so they're irrelevant when comparing model predictions to actual data. In fact, the only one of the three model sets that should be used to compute the 95% confidence interval is the worst case one (the highest of the three), and when you use that confidence interval the gap between the low end of the interval and the actual data is even wider (and the actual data went outside the low end of the interval even earlier).
I haven't seen Meteor.js mentioned here yet, which is a shame. It's great for quickly building out MVPs due to their out-of-the-box real-time functionality.

Things can get a bit bogged down once there are a certain number of components that chain update each other and Meteor still primarily uses Mongo, but neither should be a problem for a MVP.
It really depends on the location, and the items involved.

Gun sales are always audited -- by both the local law enforcement, and the ATF/TTB/DHS. Electronics are generally only audited by the local law enforcement, and if there's something specific that they're looking for, they'll look daily/send officers to the pawn shop.

I've had a break-in to my pawn shop before, and someone stole handguns and a rifle...before the ink was dry on the police report, there was someone that the law enforcement called "the gun whisperer" -- a guy from the ATF who specializes in stolen weapons from dealers -- and they had found the guy and recovered the stolen weapons in less than 72 hours.

We are required to keep descriptors (Sex, Age, Hair, Height, Eyes, body type) in our customer database: we take it a step further by taking a copy of their Driver's License/ID and a copy of their thumbprint.

Pawn shop owners (if they're working within the law) do not really get a say -- we upload our records to a provider who pushes transactions to a state nexus center and if they want specific information (or video) from the transactions, we'll get a visit from the state police or a fax from the local police dept.

Market power is irrevelant to workers being able to fetch the market rate for their labor. Corporations compete with each other for a limited pool of labor. There is no generalized class conflict between corporations and workers in a free market. Competition happens just as much within classes as between them.

Ultimately that results in the wages offered being determined by the underlying market forces of supply and demand that are far larger and more powerful than the efforts of any single party. And it is in society's best interest for wages to be determined by supply and demand and not some social agenda.

The only policy which provide zero sum benefits to corporations at the expense of workers is immigration. And that can be addressed by workers through political coordination. The primary purpose of unions is to give select groups of workers the ability to engage in rent-seeking at the expense of the wider economy. We can get political coordination between workers without resorting to unions and all the harm that comes along with them.
> Unions brought progress in terms of worker rights, up to a point.

What does "up to a point" mean? Like these videos, this makes it sound as if the progress of workers' rights is over, and we've got all we'll ever need.

What about, say, "a living wage", which the government's minimum wage law is unable to provide? This isn't done. It will probably never be done.
That just proves his point that less is more. Which I believe to be true. It's about strategy and not saturation. But the problem I guess is that they cannot realistically follow each individual so saturating all networks / platforms is the only way they see viable.
I don't think a whiteboard contradicts with an IDE. The students can always design the programs on paper (I do this) step by step, including the notes, and then write the programs in one run without bug.
Subsidies can be tied up to mortgage: the entire cost of housing can be made deductible from taxes, all expenses related to kids can be reimbursed (by IRS in April: you show checks and they give you money back). On top of that your income can be backed by the government for an extended period of time in case something happens to you, while you still need to pay for everything. You may ask where do we get money for all this? Tax on wealth. Many countries tax investments at 1% a year, not income, but investments. This won't bankrupt the rich people because investments usually make 5-10% per year and the government can take a small fraction of that. And no, the rich won't move their money abroad because safety that the US gives is worth a lot.

Yes, but imagine you are a civilization, that is smart enough to develop the idea of a Fermi paradox. If you are the first such civilization, you believe yourself to be one among thousands in your galaxy -- but yet, you get no radio signatures (or other signatures) of intelligent life. You might conclude, that the very act of obtaining technology predisposes your civilization (and the others who disappeared before you) to a shortened lifespan. Accordingly, you assume (wrongly) that to transmit or seek out radio signals, is going to 'f' you up down the road. You, and the 2d civilization after you, and the third, etc., internally agree to go the Amish way... and you have an infinite loop that repeats.
> At the end of the day it's a matter of infrastructure.

No, in the end of the day it is a matter of efficiency, i.e. money. Hydrogen is just really inefficient in production, storage, and converting it back to energy. Unless this is solved (which I don't see) it cannot compete with batteries.
I have worked in the shipping industry (shipping as in ocean transportation). We had a very high rate of damage to pallets containing beer. A forklift clips a 6 pack on the corner breaking one or two bottles. Insurance pays out for entire pallet, stevedores go home with a lot of beer.

Theft was considered a insurable cost of business. I am sure insurance rates were priced accordingly. I am also sure our rate of theft was no different to any other port in the country.

Even if I didn't know anything about unions before, the mere fact that all these mega-corps are spending the money to make anti-union videos would seem awfully suspicious. Why would companies have anything to fear, if unions were really so terrible for workers?

These anti-union videos are indeed reminiscent of the anti-drug videos. Drugs are unhealthy, expensive, and illegal -- so DARE should be shooting fish in a barrel, and yet they still have zero demonstrated effectiveness. Hearing an adult in a position of power tell you not to do something only makes it seem more attractive.

I’m embarrassed to see such a post upvoted. Also, matplotlib is outdated. If you want a good visualization tool, it should leverage as many features as it can to present the most information possible. This includes not just color but interactive tools like hover tools. A library like bokeh makes this extremely easy for example. I’m a bit sad to see such posts whose purpose is to demonstrate how to leverage visualization tools to improve our understanding of a phenomenon by people holding on to legacy outdated tools. It sends the wrong message.

I'd argue it's only because the nature of film making - with many short-lived independent productions - doesn't give unionized work units the monopoly control they would have in large stable production facilities, like factories, and moreover, due to being cultural work, is very difficult to outsource.

For a time all major industrial sectors were dominated by unions. It resulted in America losing its manufacturing edge and seeing most manufacturing migrate to Asia. The entire passenger rail service also went bankrupt due to the demands of the Brotherhoods, which had a stranglehold on the industry.
Today, besides a few notable exceptions like Hollywood and the screen actors guild, unions are only growing in the public sector, and that's because taxpayers are forced to subsidize their inefficiency.

As a general rule, industries lose their dynamism when they come under the domination of unions, which is exactly what standard economic theories on free markets and efficiency predict.

That's true if the performance ratings are cost-free and fairly accurate. A company where firing is based on misconduct and promotion is based on achievement, rather than basing both on quarterly reviews, might actually have a better chance of finding good employees, and perhaps more importantly, retaining them.

Simple solution: 1%/year tax on wealth and give these money to families with kids. The tricky part is wealth is often stored as shares and if you tax Bezos, he'd have to sell 1% of his shares, thus driving the price of those shares down; then if some hedge fund keeps buying the shares he sells, eventually he may lose control over his company, which is unfair. We might want to define wealth as savings above 5M dollars. This would be easy to work around: register a few companies with highly complex structure of ownership and spread money across them.
Cassettes were extremely popular in their heyday which means there are still quite a bit of them laying around, along with the hardware to play and record on them. It’s a very inexpensive medium, which is also why DIY musicians never completely abandoned the format.

Brass, Copper, and Bronze if kept virgin can command good scrap rates.
I can tell you how that has gone at work.
Back in the old days, we all contributed and segregated bronze into a 55 gallon drum. When full, company vehicle takes scrap to scrapyard. So 50 percent lost off the top, but the rest was used to buy shop tools. We had nice accessories.
Then management got greedy and wanted it all. Now we don't segregate or care about virgin material.
Everybody loses.
Crappy tools so people get hurt and less money for the scrap sold.

The worst are the various documentary murder shows. There is not much to the story, so not only do they have cliff-hangers before commercial breaks, but they also recap the previous segment for like half the next segment. It's comical.

Any phrase that's open to interpretation helps organizers. The migrant might think a living wage is $15/hour while the native feels it's $60k/year. Two very different beliefs; but on the surface, they're both getting pumped up in agreement behind the organizer who's demanding it. That scares management. They know they'll lose control the moment someone comes along, who's more effective than them at winning over the hearts and minds of their employees. It's why I'm always a bit disappointed to see big businesses reacting with FUD rather than HOPE.

The major problem with this is that the employees are captive for a company's anti-union arguments; they're integrated with the job.

As long as the union gets to speak to the employees on company time and gets to add pro-union arguments to the training videos, I see no problem with the boss doing so as well.

> The whole marketing aspect behind AMP is that its fast. This is the narrative that has sucked most publishers in. It is also not true (to the degree you think).

I think what has sucked most publishers in is the belief that if they don't play ball and implement AMP, they'll suffer in Google's rankings.

Google has said over and over that AMP is not a ranking factor. If someone could definitively prove that it's not, I think publishers would be less likely to bow down to AMP. If someone could definitively prove that it _is_, then we'd have evidence of Google both lying and promoting their own technology.

Of course the "Top Stories" carousel _is_ an unfair advantage for those who use AMP -- more people just need to call out Google on this. It should either be renamed "Top AMP stories" or they should not prevent non-AMP stories from appearing in it.

Apropos fourmilab, just be warned, years ago the site had errors around whitepoint handling, some later fixed, some clearly not. That Figure 2 has the whitepoint label "W+" very offset from the rendered whitepoint (the Y crossing).

My very fuzzy recollection is it was this specrend code that was behind the oops of a "The Universe is green!" NYTimes front-page(?) article - someone's research generated spectra, and for PR they derived a color using off-the-web code, but didn't recognize the bogosity of the output value. Red-shifted faces.

The Wikipedia discussion of violet[1] currently seems plausible - yay. Unlike the "Black-body radiation" article,[2] which again has a CIE chromaticity diagram with a blackbody curve going through yellow and missing white, which is indicative of broken whitepoint math. Oh well.
