Where did you pull that 'quote from' the most recent NASA statement on sea-level rise I can find is from last year:

https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2680/new-study-finds-sea-level...

"New study finds sea level rise accelerating"

From that NASA page:

> Global sea level rise is accelerating incrementally over time rather than increasing at a steady rate, as previously thought, according to a new study based on 25 years of NASA and European satellite data.

> If the rate of ocean rise continues to change at this pace, sea level will rise 26 inches (65 centimeters) by 2100 — enough to cause significant problems for coastal cities, according to the new assessment by Nerem and colleagues from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland; CU Boulder; the University of South Florida in Tampa; and Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. The team, driven to understand and better predict Earth's response to a warming world, published their work Feb. 12 in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

> "This is almost certainly a conservative estimate," Nerem said. "Our extrapolation assumes that sea level continues to change in the future as it has over the last 25 years. Given the large changes we are seeing in the ice sheets today, that's not likely."

> Rising concentrations of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere increase the temperature of air and water, which causes sea level to rise in two ways. First, warmer water expands, and this "thermal expansion" of the ocean has contributed about half of the 2.8 inches (7 centimeters) of global mean sea level rise we've seen over the last 25 years, Nerem said. Second, melting land ice flows into the ocean, also increasing sea level across the globe.

Now, you are absolutely right that the WMO is talking about faster rates of rise than NASA - from their release:

> Over the five-year period May 2014 -2019, the rate of global mean sea-level rise has amounted to 5 mm per year, compared with 4 mm per year in the 2007-2016 ten-year period. This is substantially faster than the average rate since 1993 of 3.2 mm/year. The contribution of land ice melt from the world glaciers and the ice sheets has increased over time and now dominate the sea level budget, rather than thermal expansion.

It will be interesting to see what data sources that they are using for these figures, compared with NASA. Of course, I fervently hope that WMO is wrong - but I don't hold out much hope that they've simply cocked up the figures.

One final correction - the "hype" isn't accelerating. In fact, given the data, we are being remarkably laid back.
I keep coming back to this example as something beautiful, surprising, and so meta/recursive.

Figuring out that you can edit the game's code and/or state by breaking out of the level and navigating to memory regions, and then interacting the the raw bytes as though they were blocks/pipes is completely fascinating.

And of course speedrunners have exploited this, literally walking Mario to the memory address with the "final credits ready?" flag, and setting it by interacting with the block.

And it means that a (good!) human can beat the whole game in 2m42.9s - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o55aSEnYCdE

I think this can be a cultural phenomenal, and what culture enforces who or how we ought to act at a certain age. I've traveled a lot in Europe. And it is amazing different kinds interesting people you meet. It makes movies and netflix boring.

I find people there tend to maintain more close relationship male and female. I person know someone way beyond his 30's, have many many groups of close personal male and female friends. He once told me that having these close relationship and maintaining them has tremendously improved his quality of his life and it is something he would NOT trade for any amount of money in the world.

The idea that one must marry at certain age have career at certain age is insane. Do what you like when you want to do it. Timing is important.

Anyway, IMHO MySQL has similar level of documentation.
I'm not saying that there is no difference between men or women at all, you're jumping to conclusions here, way too quickly.

From my point of view, this particular social behavior doesn't seem to differ too much though, but I would agree with you that there are other behaviors/attributes that are very different between men or women.
It could but this hardly happens to the majority of the people. Just look around and observe how many adults and old people are obsessed with their thoughts (often ridiculous) and feelings, take them very seriously and have very humble introspection/mindfulness skills.

Ask HN: Parents of HN, what are your best sources for evidence-based parenting?
I am having my first child a few months from now, and am looking for all sorts of perspectives. I am told things will never be the way I picture it in my head anyway, so there's no use in preparing. But still, it'd be nice to have some clue about what we know and what we don't.
Not sure if this is a joke, but it's neither as easy you believe it to be for women, or as hard you think it is for men.
We did it, liberals!
I've never heard of this. I've been using Cannabis for quite a long time (decades) and I still have dreams. Every night, even.

As a child I used to have chronic nightmares. It is pretty rare these days.

So if anything, this lack of dreams (and the return of mainly nightmares) either only affects some people, or it is simply a matter of not remembering the dreams. Or both.

Maybe you are different than me, but I really don't feel as "reborn" when I wake up - I mean I immediately feel all the time that has passed (and how much, usually to 1 hour precision), and even during the night, when I'm sleeping, I'm still there, just in a different state and not making many memories, but I am definitely not gone.
"Earlier today, a former Chef employee removed several Ruby Gems, impacting production systems for a number of our customers."

So the developer already had left the company but one of his own Open Source code hosted on his personal github was used in production by Chef Customers ? Really ? That is just Wow.

Running a small company, I am very strict against any of us using any personal accounts for anything that impacts our company work especially production. This has to be a no no by default I would assume.

First, my comment has nothing to say about Stallman’s problematic behavior or expulsion of FSF or MIT.

However the article is characterizing free software as a centralized system whose purpose is to give powerful men the “freedom” to exclude. It also says the free software movement shares this perverse notion of freedom with the tech giants like Facebook. Can free software maintainers become exclusionary tyrants? Of course, but built into free software is the remedy. You have access to the source control and you are not obligated to tolerate a tyrant. You have near complete freedom over the source code to make any changes or to fork the project, completely sidestepping the maintainer. If someone truly wanted to be a petty tyrant with the “freedom” to exclude they would write their software as closed source, start a company and maintain complete control over all versions of the software and hire or fire all of the programmers who can edit it.

Those are all good ideas. They're very much in line with the ways that airlines (United), credit-card issuers and hotels (Marriott) try to leverage their big customer pools. Execute them well, and you can pick up some "free" (or nearly free) revenue and push up your profit margins by a percentage point or two.

> I have to wonder if Central Bankers are feeling more and more politicized these days

I don't think the big ones feel anything. (Fed, ECB)

ECB's frontman was a Goldman Sachs alumni, accountable to no one, doing private placements with his buddies, issuing corporate bonds directly to the ECB instead of the ECB picking them up on the secondary market.

The US Fed gets a chairman to just the Board of Governors, who is more accountable to the other people on the board of governors, and then the actual Federal Reserve. They are not accountable to the US President or the American people in any capacity.

They transcend administrations and are completely divorced from main street rhetoric. They don't care and don't have to. They emerge from their screens a few times a decade and say "huh, there's new pronouns now" and go back to resource management monopoly that they've been playing for 100 years.

> and will now employ these "creative" options without regard for any long term consequences

I think so, when you look at the incentives. The consequences are very few: there is a risk that the people are disillusioned by how resources are distributed since not everyone has to exchange labor or capital for resources (ECB buying newly issued bonds for billions of euros that didn't previously exist). there is a risk of hyperinflation if there is a real disruption in the need for the monetary union's currency, but uncontrollable need to inject more of the currency into the market.

In the mean time, they can keep assets on their balance sheet forever, with only a slight embarrassment if those assets cause losses (such a bonds that default).

SoftBank moves to oust Neumann as WeWork chief executive
Not when the companies that wish they could shorten their lease terms tend to be stuck with them (and sometimes, after shedding some employees, with a lot of additional space they could let out short term...). WeWork also isn't at the cheap or flexible end of the short term office space rental market - it's very much a product designed to appeal to a particular type of company starting out. They could pivot, but so could other people with office space they can't lease out...
Ask HN: Did SEO Ruin the Web?
Every time I search for a simple question (e.g. "When is the next season of X out?"), rather than getting a simple answer (e.g. "October 20th, 2019") I'm given a bunch of articles that seem to be artificially inflated just to make the search engine happy that there is enough content/keywords. I feel like publishers don't have the best interest of readers in mind anymore and web pages are just a vehicle to deliver keywords wrapped with useless content, and worst of all, this seems to be directly caused and encouraged by search engines.
If you think office space doesn't vary in quality, you haven't worked in a very wide range of companies :)

There is no reason to think they will be met, on current trends -- global output is still increasing, and new "green" energy seems to just come on top of fossil fuel energy, not replacing it.

But it makes no sense to spend money on the effects while the rate at which they're getting worse is still increasing. Like starting to repaint the house while the fire is still blazing.

We just need to do a lot more, keeping fossil fuel in the ground forever will always be more effective than any measures to live with the consequences.

even if we miss a target, more emissions beyond that target still make things much worse. it's not like we can just declare bankruptcy or something.

ultimately we have to reduce emissions as much as possible while preparing for their impact -- and I am not an expert, but I suspect reducing emissions is cheaper in the long run than dealing with the effects.

Almost all the time they all fall victim to this bureacratic intertia. The problems never are solved, just more and more money is thrown into them.
> While there are issues with Zuckerberg, I think it bears noting that the FB IPO wasn't done because he needed the money, but rather because they were forced too by law because too many people had ownership.

This isn't entirely true. Once a company passes the shareholder limit they are required to publish public financials similar to what a publicly traded company must provide. However they are not required to sell their stock on the open market, it's just that it's such a small step at this point that most if not all do.

Also - while this is often quoted as the reason for Facebook's IPO, it's worth noting that the investor limit was actually raised (from 500 to 2000) a couple months before Facebook's IPO. If it were really the main reason they could have easily held off on the IPO and carried on as a private company.
>This is a lesson we are fast learning about freedom as it promoted by the tech world. It is not about ensuring that everyone can express their views and feelings. Freedom, in this telling, is about exclusion. The freedom to drive others away.

What's wrong with the line about India? It's absolutely correct - per capita emissions from India are very small.

> Surely they will become an emitter at least as significant as China.

Looking at a country's total emissions makes no sense because the population needs to be taken into account. India will eventually have the largest total emissions, which is fine because per capita is really low.
Let's imagine you need a cpu.

Suppose that once r&d is considered, two chips (single/dual core) cost roughly the same to manufacture.

I could sell everyone the 2 core processor and say sorry to customers needing less, you have to pay full price. Or I could maximize the market I can sell to, and offer the same product with a burned out pin that locks out the second core. Or even better, sell everyone a soft upgradable 1 core, so you buy the entry level product, and when/if you need it, you can buy into the upmarket model.

But the important part here is: ignoring r&d. Yes, the hardware I'm selling you could do more, but you're subsidizing fewer engineers, so you only get access to their efforts, not every effort my company has ever produced.
