Which global warming impact is critical in the next 5 years? For climate, 5 years is nothing. It's difficult to even see the temperature trend over such a short timespan, given noise sources like El Niño that have periods of several years.

You'll have to wait longer in order to really see the effects of global warming, as far as I understand it.
One thing I have to say, in general to many of the posts here about the state of linux, is that linux is just the kernel, and the vast majority of issues people tend to have is due to one or a combination of distro choice and DE/WM choice. I went linux exclusive personally and professionally a few years ago and have nothing but good things to say about it, but far too often I see stuff complaining about linux when it's really not linux per se, but the other software choices.

So, protip, if you are having issues with things like multi-monitors, etc, start out by trying a different DE like awesome/i3, xfce, etc, rather than the big 2 (KDE/Gnome), and if that fails try a another distro (such as Manjaro).

I almost always use Manjaro these days because the hardware detector is second to none, but I used to distrohop habitually and if you get a new laptop it's almost a requirement to try out different distros until you find the one that just works, and this especially applies to MacBooks, which I used to triple boot but started doing linux only on because sometimes it's easier to get a macbook approved in some companies than the equivalent hardware normal laptop.

One side benefit of going linux only is that I have, besides gaming, almost completely GPLized my stack. Plus, I believe if you are managing systems you should be running the OS those systems live on. EG if your core systems are debian, you should have a debian install somewhere that you interact with daily. I can't tell you how many times I've had to help devops people recover from things like MacOS text bunging or outdated bash related problems. I think they should be doing the dev work at least in a container (lxc, etc) on what they are working on instead of the native system.
I don't buy that idea, western institutions that we generally think of as unique are quite easy to duplicate in Asia if the focus is put there.
I'm on the enterprise networking side and I find it funny that a lot of the time I have to explain that it would be cheaper to buy higher speed links on the new server regardless how little bandwidth is actually going to go through them. I've hard a hard time using 32 port 100G switches in a few racks (can break out into 128 25G ports) instead of 48 port 25G switches (same ASIC family/generation, basically the same price per switch) because a lot of servers being ordered "don't need 10G NICs" and the 100G platforms don't support 1G anymore.
Reminds me of Malcom Gladwell's Tipping Point.
> I'm just saying that appealing to individuals to just "do the right thing" has almost never worked

Which is exactly what Mr. Benioff is trying to do with this article. Companies change when it's in their financial interest to do so; and rarely before then.
Never underestimate the error introduced by a lack of incentive for humans to comply with the API (or the API itself being human-hostile).

My favorite example is the Domino's "Your pizza is ready" signal. Since the data feeding the signal also feeds the store's performance analysis (i.e. they track how fast employees are getting pizzas ready), there's significant incentive for employees to lie to the algorithm and hit "It's ready" before it's physically ready, on the assumption that customers will take nonzero time to wander over and show up for pickup.
Maybe my dog would prefer living in the wild, hunting and scavenging his own food, never to be scolded for chasing a squirrel or digging in the trash

One my dogs could answer that for you, as that's what he did for a while before he got picked up. He was also skin and bones. Sores in his mouth from licking out of cans. Much like humans, domestic dogs might like to think they want to get back to their natural roots, but they're also like humans in that most of them won't last very long. The primary cause of death for feral dogs is starvation. It was going to be Brody's fate had someone not picked him up and taken him in. Go ask Brody which he'd prefer. If he could talk, I'm pretty sure his answer would be, "what the fuck do you think as we stand in the warm house with a 40lb. bag of dog food mere feet away? Dude, I weighed twenty pounds less than I do now." Do not feel bad about giving your dog regular meals, a roof, and protecting them from themselves.

With that rant out of the way, sorry, I didn't mean to piledrive your point. Because I do consider such things, even knowing the likely outcome were it fully implemented. So I let them chase rabbits and squirrels in the yard. If they haven't caught one by now, they never will. And if you're a rabbit dumb enough to come into a yard with two pit bull terriers (or any terrier), well, you need to be kept on your toes. And we go camping, run around in the woods, pretend we really could catch those elk if we wanted to. All of us, humans included, are about as wild as domesticated suburban beings should be allowed to be.
Other side: The US doesn't even publish software paid for by tax payers, or the a lot of the FDA information also paid for by citizens.

There is one of these on the Nevada-California border outside of Las Vegas. I know they have had issues with the plant, such as the valley it's located gets foggy, which lowers the output. What's bad is the concentrated sun rays have been killing birds from what I've heard. Not sure of any easy way to dissuade birds from coming near it. It does look really cool off Interstate 15.
Right -- this is about commodity stuff. Agreed, asking a vendor to own your non-commodity bits means not owning your core speciality, which adds even higher levels of risks.

A nice thing about vendor-shaped holes in commodity areas is the holes are clear and plenty of vendors happy to quickly fill in. Comparing that to changing some internal project that gets its tendrils into who knows where with who knows what servers & services is night & day. I much rather figure out a Hubspot-to-Wordpress-and-Marketo migration or Zenefits-to-Gusto migration than some weird internal Elixir, Java, & InfluxDB Zeit blog spread over a bunch of AWS services that were primarily developed by two microservices devs who had both left the company to their next great thing over a year ago.
> But I do appreciate the fact that some market incentives (profits) exist to encourage greedy companies to come out with new drugs. I fear lower innovation in its absence.

There were more new drugs released before Bayh-Dole. If anything, the fact that you can now make a lot of money creating new drugs is probably reducing innovation.
> You are patently wrong.

Ironically, you are patently wrong.

As the other poster mentions, mandatory prosecution exists in many parts of the world, and Spain is indeed one of these places.

https://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=COM:2... is the clearest English-language reference I can find. Specifically:

> The Member States’ criminal systems are divided on the issue of mandatory or discretionary prosecution. The discretionary principle is applied in Belgium, France, Denmark, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. In Germany, Austria, Spain, Finland, Sweden, Greece, Italy and Portugal the mandatory prosecution principle applies.

> The mandatory prosecution principle is that the prosecution authorities must act – even if no complaint has been lodged – where they suspect that an offence has been committed.

Prosecuting this is not optional.

That's not to say the government could not have applied pressure somehow if they wished of course (though in theory that's strongly discouraged), or even attempted to change the law entirely. Doing so publicly in any way though would pretty seriously harm their election changes on a national level (election is coming on November 11th).
Weird. Recruiters were calling me last month for some well paid contract gigs there.
I’ve worked in pharma for much of my career, but will never go back. At one point I was working for a company that continues to milk profits off of a drug that was developed in the 1950s - the company doubled the price over the span of a few years in the late 2000s, for no reason besides the P in P&L. And that company is generally considered one of the “good guys” in the industry, spending proportionally more on R&D than almost anyone else.

You could argue that the outrageous profits made off a 70 year old drug are funding that research, but (a) that’s just not the case, and (b) why should one group of patients and their insurers have to shell out for another? Isn’t that what financing is for?
This is a really interesting and immediately practical talk. He presents a tool, which is available today, that has produced very impressive performance improvements in widely used software.
Haha, I did something similar a while ago - I just invoked a click() on every "add coupon" button on their website, I didn't want to reverse engineer their APIs - way easier but also it requires a desktop browser with the page open.

I'm not sure if using this API is any different but a few months ago Safeway made a change that only lets you have 20(?) coupons at any time. After you add more it kicks off your oldest one. Which sounds like plenty but if you're adding every single coupon you're gonna get a ton that you have no desire for ($1 off diapers when you don't have a kid etc).

It worked for a while, though!
They should send to Tencent based on network location. If you're inside the Great Firewall, Google's safe browsing service will be unreachable. If you're outside the Great Firewall, you really don't want to use services through it if possible. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/04/ddos-...
I can think of lots of theoretical reasons computers might outperform human drivers. A computer won't get distracted, will have nearly instantaneous reaction times, and can literally have eyes in the back of its head.

I don't know if that will be enough to make the difference, but I can certainly see how it could be.
I have the same exact story, it happened about 10+ years ago. I had a banner on a small community forum and they banned my AdSense account for life for click fraud. Of course I never clicked on my ads and the revenue was few cents. They never replied - except for automatic replies that the decision is final.
> ?? Most aircraft will do this. Even docile trainers.

That might be, but the video doesn't demonstrate it - the pilot flying pulls the elevator back quite a bit to induce the stall after he puts in full power.
This is fun.

Isn't there a case d.

- The powerful faction cages everyone else, but not necessarily in literal physical cages but rather psychological cages. Provide bare enough for survival, and use psychological techniques to engrave in everyone's mind that "this is fine".

I feel like this comment sounds rather edgy, but to me this is the most likely dystopian scenario if we're anyway talking about powerful-factions > government.

Shouldn't you make regular backups of your emails anyway, whichever alternative to GMail you use? And then what do you gain by switching in practical terms?

I do find these account suspensions terrifying. It's the biggest issue I have with using GMail, but I treat it like any very low probability event of shit happening to my data.

The last time someone brought up livejournal, there was discussion about a code fork of LiveJournal called Dreamwidth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreamwidth You might want to take a look there if you haven't already.

True, but planting trees as a method for carbon sequestering is not a novel idea, and currently seems one of the better short-term options. Long term it's not that great for the reason you mentioned, and there is quite a lot of debate about it going on right now.

for two more or less competing views.
Assuming Tesla will do excellent, it could be Uber,Waymo or company X in country Y where some politicians will sign a piece of paper letting them killing people on the streets and later X fails because some bizarre reason or maybe they wanted to use n cameras but they had no idea that you needed double that so all that testing and people killed was for nothing.

Then you have 12 companies testing with real people and not sharing data so killing about 12 times more people then needed.

It's easy to sell external hosting when the product is a security nightmare, difficult to configure, and extremely resource intensive in its default state.
The whole box was about 8K (w/o the monitors). Go to ThinkMate.com and price it for ECC ram. Prices change often. It's less than you think!

We do signal processing software in C++ and GPGPU so we like a lot of ram to hold samples. I probably only needed half of it.

I think people who want to compile Rust also need hundreds of GB or RAM....
One of the things I have observed over the years is that some people are motivated to build technology because they like building things, and some are motivated by the fact that builders of technology make money.

People who like the 'art' of building this stuff, are (again in my experience, not an exhaustive study or anything) generally much better programmers and engineers that the purely financially motivated folks.
The article starts by saying this is the third and final wave.
Except any 2 humans don't have matching ideas about what's fair, which means that they're both unfair from eachother's perspective.

Humans are in reality much less fair than algorithms.
I don't understand the point of your first paragraph.

Poor people demand an improved environment too - it's not a special demand limited to the middle class or richer.

Eg, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_justice#Affected... starts "Among the affected groups of Environmental Justice, those in high-poverty and racial minority groups have the most propensity to receive the harm of environmental injustice." Many of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe members are poor, and they lead the protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline in part on environmental grounds.

Have you heard of a single scientifically demonstrated consequence of decreased CFC emissions which would lead to people being pulled out of poverty and into the middle class?

Do you support CFC restrictions, and if so, when do you regard the evidence as being strong enough to warrant those restrictions?

I agree we should "weigh the positive and negative consequences of our decisions". I disagree with your statement that there are no realistic alternatives to the current practices.

People argued that there were no realistic alternatives to CFCs. (See http://aei.pitt.edu/63734/1/WD_126.pdf from 1980 for "No satisfactory substitute has yet been found for these machines containing CFCs [11 and 12], but there is undoubtedly room for reducing emissions by making design changes.") Now, from https://www.livescience.com/62603-new-cfcs-enter-ozone-layer... :

"""Neither of the two primary CFC-11 use-cases, firefighting and refrigerators, are at all hampered today by not having the substance, Ferry said. He added that he couldn't think of any special use-case for the chemical for which there isn't already an alternative."""

There is undoubtedly room for alternatives for the current use of fossil fuels.
That was my first reaction: "And.."

Then following it through:

> “Now the quality is similar, so why not buy China?” said [...] in 1998, virtually no Chinese respondents said they thought Chinese brands were cool.

> The result is that some American brands that used to be cool are falling out of fashion.

It means that US companies are being shut out of the largest growing consumer market and that Chinese companies that had difficultly competing with US brands are now favored. Resulting in China's economy to grow at an even faster rate than before compared to US.

Not only that, but it also means that western culture is losing influence which plays out in more than dollars.
Out of curiosity, how does your opinion extend to rescuing dogs?
> You wouldn't want your phone to start sending data to Tencent as soon as you cross the border into China, right?

You most likely would. Google's service will be unreachable from within China. If it didn't switch providers, you would have no Safe Browsing protection. The key thing is to obtain consent from the user the first time this happens.
Then again, no car manufacturer gets a regulatory pass on selling 6-year-old drivers as a feature.
It seems like that now but when Twitch or IG got acquired, I remember thinking the price was way too high.

I noticed that you call `unsync_load` on the `AtomicU32`, which confused me, and I later saw that there is a custom `AtomicU32` in the loom library. Can you explain what `unsync_load` is and whether it will be provided by the atomics library in `std`?
I fully agree and admire the skill with which you've stated this.
Banks don't store the cash, they lend most of the cash to other people. If the other people don't pay back or the other people don't exist because the bank is a scam, there is no cash to give to the people that put money in the bank.

You can create a 100% reserve bank that doesn't lend money, it can be created in real life or in the blockchain. (There are a looooooooooooo...ooooooooooooot of regulations.) But this bank will not pay interest, and must have fees to get money to pay the employees, buildings, ... So people will not put the money in this bank.

Most internet exchanges work like this with a 100% reserve, but we all know the story of MtGox.

[Hi from Argentina! We have a global bank run every 10 years.]
Governmental regulations (safety, etc.) make the cost of developing a new drug extraordinary. Without exclusive patents on the back end companies won't have a reason to foot the bill on the front end.

Even without regulations developing and testing a new drug wouldn't be economical if somebody else could steal your formula the moment you figure out that it works.
> So the question here is why not to expose generic state machine framework (FSM/HSM) which can deal with those protocols but is also very useful for many other tasks as well?

Short answer is: you can.

Tokio is more like "node.js for Rust" or "the Go runtime for Rust".

The bit about Tokio & futures is how you use Tokio today. Tasks are defined as futures, and Rust futures are FSMs. So, a protocol can be implemented as a FSM completely independently of Tokio / futures and then used from Tokio.

In Tokio's next major release (coming soon), it will work with Rust's async fn feature (which is also about to hit stable).

Hope that clarifies things.
I was originally skeptical about Amazon's Twitch acquisition. However, in recent years, they've seem to integrate the product fairly well into their ecosystem. I feel for an acquisition less than $1b, Twitch is a steal in hindsight. Not sure how much money Twitch makes, but the ecosystem and users only seems to be growing.
Somehow everyone agrees that European countries losing their overseas colonies was a good thing, but neighbouring colonies are considered inseparable parts of the nation that happened to be stronger.

Think how you would feel if Spain was part of Portugal, France, Morocco, or Germany, Spanish language was a minority language in Spain, and you would have spent significant amount of time reading books or learning about the war or some other event that had changed the flow of history and led your country to not exist on the map.

Disclaimer: I am not from Catalonia, but from a country that barely got organized in time to be a separate state, and i am happy about that, as smaller more local governments work better, than the very centralized and huge government we would have now if our separatists did not manage to organize in time.
Correct me if I am wrong, but the report is talking about wholesale prices.

I would be more interested in the price after the expected discount that the pharmaceutical companies give.

If the price increase is still high then it is newsworthy.
Next time you are at the store look at the circular. There is a barcode you can scan with their app that adds everything to you app that week.

CN is the country code, not the language code. zh-CN is simplified chinese localized to mainland China. If you want simplified chinese try something like zh-HK or zh-SG.

But there is valid criticism to be had that Apple should be signposting more visibly the differences between its settings for CN and outside CN.
There is an easy solution to this, rescuing abandoned dogs. We have had two dogs (down to one now after a cancer battle), and both would have had not home, or been parked in a volunteer run shelter left alone most of the time.

I think they are surely better of with us, and I don't think we increase demand in any way.

I do agree with you that breeding dogs for a life in captivity might not be a morally good thing. Hard to say.

Cooking for cats is actually quite hard, and very easy to screw up. The kinds of meat humans usually eat don't contain everything your cat needs. Unless what you're cooking for them is actual mice, be very sure you know what you're doing. You have to add taurin and calcium, among others.

Does Japan have Eminent Domain? Besides that Japan is also facing a problem where they have most of their population already lives in urban areas, with rapid depopulation of rural areas. Realistically the ability to build wind and solar farms as they age should get easier and easier as the land depopulates.
