> they are very effectively both expressions of the same process.

But the effects on global atmospheric composition are not equivalent as has already been explained to you. The fact that you seem to choose to deliberately not understand this does not speak well of you.

> The claim is wrong, and hangs only on the ambiguities of what "effectively zero" could be argued to mean that is in reality documented to be very far from zero indeed.

There are no ambiguities, the caveats of that statement are quite clearly stated in the article.

> Malhi's advisory 9% figure (that is then subsequently reduced to zero?!) is not even necessarily more final or uncontestable as the supposedly terrible global media outbreak of 20% reports.

Nobody ever said it was final or uncontestable (that's not how science works). It is a fairly rough estimation, but even as such it is FAR more accurate and its precision is sufficient for popular discussion.

> The point of publicity figure is to be defensible and educate the fact that the Amazon has had and can have major effects on the atmospheres important constituents. That whether it is currently in equilibrium or a great carbon sink or grave carbon emitter - is a very grave matter because by its size and history it is capable of all those things.

Neither I nor the author dispute the importance of the amazon. What is disputed is the bad science that is being spread by the well-intentioned but misinformed.

Atmospheric O2 levels are not a problem, atmospheric CO2 levels are.

What do you think you are accomplishing by attacking environmental scientists and spreading misinformation? Are you really trying to help spread accurate knowledge about climate change? How does this help with that?
Yeah, I feel weird about the book. The devil's advocate stuff about climate science is NOT helpful or intellectually honest...but I find the broader argument about the media living from crises to crises very compelling.

(Also, the actual plot of the book was super annoying haha)
The "as a pilot..." posts baffle me. It's like asking a car driver for his thoughts on automotive engineering, or asking a random computer user about which programming language is best for whatever. This of course is fine if the topic is piloting, but there's a vast gulf of understanding between aircraft pilots and aeronautical engineers.
I'm not sure why we still use NPM. It's a total mess.

>In August of 2010, Purdue Pharma replaced old OxyContin with a new, anti-abuse version of OxyContin. The new version was just as good at reducing pain as the old but it was more difficult to turn it into an injectable to produce a high. If physicians are altruists who balance treating their patient’s pain against their fear of patient addiction and downstream abuse then they should increase their prescriptions of new Oxy. From the point of view of health, the new Oxy is simply a better drug and with less abuse to worry about altruistic physicians should be more willing on the margin to prescribe Oxy to reduce pain. So what happened? Prescriptions for Oxy fell immediately and dramatically when the better version was released.
About 5 years ago I bought probably the last watch I'd ever need. It's a solar powered Casio with timezones, and the normal 'digital watch' accoutrements. The little energy-saving details are fantastic. It has analog hands with a small digital screen. Why waste energy on backlighting when you can use glow in the dark paint that charges with the same light as the energy source? Too dark or too still? Turn off the screen until you move the watch. There was a time when it was in a drawer for a couple months while I was traveling, and when I got it out and put it in the sun, it fired right back up, and adjusted the time itself. I've seen it drop into a low charge maybe twice. It feels like it's meant to last forever, and I believe it's probably some of the best 50 bucks I've ever spent.

I've used a Fitbit and a couple friends have Apple watches, but the entire concept of charging an always connected timepiece just makes no sense to me.
The "precedent" at issue is not about the ruling as a matter of common law but as an indicator of verdicts to come.
Makes sense. But it does seem like a shift in position from the very "test-centric" view of XP.

In the above link I don't see anything about "delete your tests when not needed anymore", or did I miss it?

How do you know when some tests are "not needed any more"? Isn't the idea of regression-testing to keep tests around so you know if any new code will break them? That should give you the "agility" to refactor your code, I think, is what the proponents of XP would say.
> For example, here is The New York Times for March 6, the day Dick Farson told me I was giving this talk. The column one story for that day concerns Bush’s tariffs on imported steel. Now we read: Mr. Bush’s action “is likely to send the price of steel up sharply, perhaps as much as ten percent…” American consumers “will ultimately bear” higher prices. America’s allies “would almost certainly challenge” the decision. Their legal case “could take years to litigate in Geneva, is likely to hinge” on thus and such.

> You may read this tariff story and think, what’s the big deal? The story’s not bad. Isn’t it reasonable to talk about effects of current events in this way? I answer, absolutely not. Such speculation is a complete waste of time. It’s useless. It’s bullshit on the front page of the Times.

His argument is that the media should only discuss whatever has happened already, and should absolutely never mention any expert opinion on how today's events will impact the near future? Saying that steel tariffs will likely to send the price of steel up sharply, perhaps as much as ten percent, is now "bullshit on the front page of the Times"?

I've read almost every one of his books and loved them. But this is a great example of how expertise in one field seldom translates to other fields.
Not to my knowledge, I believe WINE targets Windows 95 and newer. There is no ISA emulation, just DLL and other related Windows emulation.
I see your point, however, this is not strictly a conservative issue (I'm referring to the economic situation). What both parties fail to recognize, or at least to admit, is that the way the economy is setup will always strongly tend to large inequality gaps, no matter if you increase taxes on the very rich, or try to subsidize the poor. The reason is straightforward: the economy is based on interest (i.e. usury). This is a very parasitic, exploitative, and destructive practice that underlies practically all of the global economies, and the world dug themselves into it way too much that turning the ship around will require insane effort. Of couse the first step is to admit the situation, which I'm not sure what can kickstart it.

It totally depends on your situation. I said 6 months to be large but it can be closer to 3 if you’re a dedicated learner with a lot of time (like the typical univ student). The trick is to practice with a native speaker from day one, and hear recorded syllables a lot. Optionally one can use Praat to check if their f0 follow the tone contour.
I see I got a few upvotes, so this must resonate here - thanks, wanted to back this up with specific details:

The chipset was the Broadwell EP. VCCSA ran at ~1.33, when the maximum should have been 1.25. Also VCCIO was 1.25, when it'd run happily at 1.096v.

Point taken was to go through every single voltage setting and research safe ranges, not trust auto for _anything_. There were changes in the CPU memory controllers around this time, and that's what caused the CPU to die when unsafe voltages were applied; Asus' XMP settings for my 4x8=32GB 3200 Trident Z DDR4s (17-18-18-36) turned them to mush.

I don't have a degree in electrical engineering; it seems like Asus wanted you to have one.

Looking back I'm discovering more details... and another guy who experienced essentially the same, with others backing up the instability of the platform:
https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/my-6850x-just-died-just...

Whilst I want to move over to AMD, I'd like my current 6850k to last longer as my son's computer. It seems like I won the silicon lottery with my old 2600k that he's currently using though; running fixed 4.4ghz which is a very nice upgrade from the stock 3.4ghz.

The original article in this thread is music to my ears - for AM4, just add a great cooler and away we go. It's tempting to upgrade both computers at the same time.. which kind of wrecks my hand me down thing, but I'm sure the 6850k got degraded by 3 weeks on the bad settings as I've had lots of issues with it (unlike the 2600k).

(Final edit: Thus my disdain for Asus' inability to back up BIOS settings on this board when performing BIOS updates like I should now to get my overclock back, unlike others I've had; if I miss even a single one of the voltage settings, I can expect it to fry the CPU - unless they actually fixed their sh*t in one of the BIOS updates).
Desegregation Plan: Eliminate All Gifted Programs in New York
I own two classic watches and a Fitbit Versa. Personally, found notifications from the watch to be more distracting as a I try to escape my phone screen. Additionally, having all that health data may seem like a blessing, but for me it was just more worry in disguise. I’d constantly analyze the data, research anomalies, and maybe even give myself health anxiety all while my health was perfectly fine. Smart watches are certainly not for everyone!
Interesting data point that I saw. A century ago, heroin was freely available. In the 1960s it was illegal, but not heavily enforced. In 2010 it was illegal, and tremendous law enforcement effort was brought against it.

The percentage of the population addicted to heroin was roughly the same at all three points. The consequences for addicts was not. This demonstrates that banning a serious opioid produces no measurable effect other than having us spend a lot of money to create problems for addicts.

The problem with what the drug companies did here is not that they were producing dangerous substances (though they were), it is that they were getting doctors to prescribe them to be used in a way that was virtually guaranteed to create addiction on a large scale. Which is an argument for correct prescription policies, and not for banning the substances themselves.

> I would argue that not including the citizenship question is racist.

Well, the current administration abandoned this effort after the memos were leaked because they knew this argument wouldn't hold up in court. And it no way holds up here. You choose to willfully ignore the fact that the genesis of this question by the GOP was explicitly to keep Latinos on the sidelines.

> Again, I say this as a minority.

Asserting your identity as if that adds credence to your argument while ignoring the simple fact that it's illogical doesn't help you in any way. It doesn't matter what you look like or where you're from, you're argument is still illogical.

> Many, many Latinos would also be ok with it, so putting words in their mouth is an example of racism coming from the Left.

You literally just put words in the mouths of Latinos at the beginning of that sentence only to accuse the left of doing so. The census in its current form doesn't have any questions designed to keep minority members of the community from participating, can you provide a reason why the census in its current form is racist?
Ha, I've been waiting to see this pop up on HN after seeing all the blog posts on /r/embedded.

It has as few as 63k speakers, native or otherwise. The language is barely spoken compared to languages of similar difficulty.
It'd be a material engineering feat to get the required plasticity and tensile strength out of ceramics. The plasticity is probably more worrying in practice - the failure mode of rebar rusting is usually visible to inspection and slow enough that action can be taken to ensure that the structure remains safe. The failure mode of a brittle reinforcing member suddenly failing is much more worrying from a safety perspective.
The difference is not substantial, just makes it a tad easier to read.

Also it depends what you are using it for, 1) to keep your team focused, or 2) enable anyone in the python community to feel comfortable jumping into the project. Given not everyone uses black, #2 is not as common as you'd think.

In the previous thread, someone made a good point - his newer games, with more resources spent on them, look worse than the old ones. Someone else applied pixelization/palletization to the screenshot of his new game, and the degraded quality made it look better: https://i.imgur.com/oPH7paD.jpg

Of course neither point is addressed, and he keeps pretending that the only way to improve is to expend more resources.

As also pointed out in the previous discussion, that's because he simply doesn't have an eye for art. He compares his game to the consistent-and-pleasant-to-look-at Baba Is You, because he can't see the difference, and so he doesn't even see there's a problem to be solved. We might as well try to explain the difference between blue and red to a blind person. That's why he can show a picture of dwarf fortress without realizing it looks better than his game. Going for a Caves of Qud look would also probably save him money - but he simply can't see that it looks better.
Qualification: I can't really confirm this fiscal responsibility of this.

Vermont is of the opinion that resurfacing roads frequently (like every two years) is cheaper than investing in anti-frost heavy road beds and cement... The reasoning behind this is that intense ground freezing can end up upsetting the best bedding techniques and causing frost heaves anyway - that coupled with frequent ploughing to deal with heavy snow fall makes long term road investments fiscally irresponsible. Also the state has frequent flooding issues which can upset road bedding in more different and fun manners.
It is not just that, growth in fast food has been stagnant for a while now. Anything new they are looking to adopt in a hope to change that. And they will all jump in in case that new thing does have a big growth effect.

It's hard to speculate what's going to happen in the end with the tech industry when there is turmoil - there are too many factors and actors at play.

Does anyone believe in an all powerful being in the sky? That's such a superficial strawman that it just sounds like an excuse to not investigate.

No it doesn't. It didn't in the past, it was a high-level abstraction. And it doesn't today, because CPUs don't behave at all like C's defined virtual machine.
I put a lot of time into perfecting my baguettes. Well, not perfecting, but getting them to the point where they don't make me anxious.

I don't think reliably good baguette is as simple as a recipe. The recipe conveys very little of what goes into it. It takes a lot of practice to get down all the manual techniques. Just learning how to knead the bread properly is an art in and of itself, and, even if you use a mixer, you'll still need to experiment with the speed and mix time to get things dialed in. A lame can be a tricky thing to work with, and your slashing technique will show through in the final product. Pre-shaping and shaping the bread takes practice, and, unless you're really into climate control at your house, learning how to adjust ingredient quantities and rise times to account for changes in temperature and humidity is a science in and of itself. You'll have to fiddle with the bake time and temperature and steaming technique to figure out what works best in your oven.

Baguette is the pale lager of breads: Most the flavor comes from the technique, and the ingredients - four simple ingredients, very nearly the same four simple ingredients - have such delicate flavors on their own that there's not really anywhere for even the slightest mistake to hide.

Which isn't to say that you shouldn't do it. But I would say that you should do it because you sincerely love the process of baking bread, not simply because you enjoy eating the final product.

FWIW, one of my favorite books on the subject is Bread: A Baker's Book of Techniques and Recipes by Jeffrey Hamelman. The recipes are mostly meant for baking on a commercial scale, but the book also covers everything you need to know to adapt them to your home kitchen.
I remember following this a while back while working on my implementation of the z-machine. I don't think he finished it though ( neither have I! )
There is nothing specific about french bread there - basically any bread produced at an industrial scale is noticeably inferior to the equivalent "human scaled" version if that exists (not always true). Sometimes shockingly so.

I suspect if anything was as elementary as "it's the kneading" they would have figured out a way to mimic the better technique. It's more likely that the logic of the industrial scale process itself is inimical to some of the finer points of producing top-shelf breads.
Which is _okay_ as long as it doesn't happen too often. I work remotely now, but most offices have conference rooms or quiet spaces or respected headphones on policies for when you need headsdown time. If there's no way to signal that you are busy, then that's probably a separate issue than the 3 cases here.
It seems childish, but if you ever witnessed a bully use a small thing like chat color as a form of discrimination, you would realize even little decisions like this have huge implications on social development. We might not know what the original intent for chat color is but the reality is, believe it or not, wether you want to admit it or not, something as simple as the color of a chat bubble reaches way farther than anyone probably is willing to admit and likely will make a noticeable difference in the future grades and income and social standing of a child.

In particular, because chats with green are functionally different from imessage chats, it gives bullies an easy out for social exclusion.

The wise decision is to leave people like this and not befriend them, but children don't know that, and few parents do either. And lastly, there is evidence that show bullies succeed more at life at the expense of those they bully [1]. It gives ammunition to the people who are willing to use something as simple as color to discriminate in communication channels. The small weasly design decision, which might have been to bring more revenue to apple, empowers the kind of people who have no sense of empathy or live life selfishly disregardingly destroying the people and the world they live in.

You should be able to produce the correct tone contours by practicing for a few minutes with a teacher who can tell you whether you got it right, assuming you can control the pitch of your voice at all. Maintaining the correct tones during continuous speech is harder, but you can approach that goal by starting slowly and carefully pronouncing each syllable, then speeding up successively.

Recognition does require a good ear, but after 6 months of daily practice, vocabulary is more likely to be the bottleneck. Regularly doing listening exercises and consuming spoken-language content helps (even if you don't actually understand a lot yet).
But it has to override the impact of the ruling. I'm pretty sure if they'd been fined the full $17 billion that the share price would have declined quite a bit.

"precedent" is a term of art in law. It strictly means another court HAS to make the same ruling given the same/similar facts.
Addiction is much more than physical dependence. Providing methadone or medical grade heroin has been the only route that has helped keep this problem in check. Switzerland has had great success with it. Portugal has had great success with it. America has had great success with it (when we've tried it). The idea that the chemical causes the addiction is ridiculous. How do you explain the roughly ninety percent of people who take the same drugs and don't become addicted then? You don't need to sell heroin at the 7-11. You can give it out under controlled medical supervision. I mean seriously you think throwing someone in jail is going to make them quit? Addicts use because they are in pain, mental, emotional, or physical. Putting them in more pain is going to help them quit? How does that work? Because there is no evidence now over a hundred years into this insane drug war that it has ever worked. Instead providing addicts with counseling, jobs, homes, and treating them like human beings has been shown to work time and time again the few times it has ever been tried. Imagine that. Treating people like human beings helps them to fix their lives. You can't do that with a drug war. It's impossible.
