I used to do this as well except we were transitioning from ship mounted multibeams to AUVs carrying multibeams and subsurface arrays. Simrad EM3000's IIRC. The difference in the amount of necessary data processing was quite a bit. Just the noise from the ship could be quite distorting and then the sea life would hear you and come try to play.
They can and were below inflation during the recession. At 1.55% now, were at 2% a couple years ago, but just ~0.07% (not a typo) during the depths of the recession. Below inflation.
The idea is not bad and some good will result from it. I think people may object to this as little more than a PR campaign ( I am not sure if you noticed, but insurance companies fare only a little better than the body of congress when it comes to public opinion ).

In short, they do some tax deductible charity from money I paid them ( or saved from not paying my claim ). Yay. All of a sudden, I feel so much more predisposed to not dislike healthcare industry.

But to your point, few people think not dealing with homelessness is good. I would just feel better if healthcare industry tended to my needs first..especially since I pay them to do just that.

More CO2 might not be a good thing for plant-based carbon sinks: Some plants with less stored carbon might outcompete others, lowering the sink storage. This issue is quite involved.

The strings attached generally ensure the place meets a minimum standard of tolerability. For example, while drug abuse certainly can't be cured at a snap of your fingers, it can't be tolerated in communal housing situations either; any sane person would rather sleep under a bridge than a bed in a crack house.
What technology do you trust for long term archival storage? Magnetic and NAND media need refreshing for long term storage. I'm unaware of any kind of storage media which will last decades at a time on a shelf, other than printing it on acid-free paper with inorganic inks/dyes.

We have been using the resources we need. A bunch of rock and magma isn't really useful to us. It's things like soil which only exists on the surface, or oil, which has been getting harder and harder to extract.
Genuinely curious since I have only seen bad things said about NoSQL in most places over the years, what benefit does it provide other than scaling?
It is nearly impossible to construct randomized control trials in Nutritional science and Psychology. Both are about average impact of specific things many entities, and even measurement itself is a nightmare (self reporting, placebo)

On the other hand, climate science has a control, which is climate measurements from all the years when humans were not polluting. Additionally, the measurements are actual mathematical levels of atmospheric properties or compound concentrations. The statistics here is a lot more solid. Philosophy, Anthropology and History are unfortunately not sciences in the rigorous sense.

Additionally, as looked down upon as anecdotes are, there are way too many of them to ignore. This year it has continued raining my home town into November. In my 25 years alive, it had never rained past Sept there. As much as anomalies do happen, these micro-level trends have only helped strengthen the case for climate change.

Sure, no science is ever settled. There is always a non-zero chance of even the most settled science being false. All of modern medicine can be bogus and homeopathy can be the real solution. Yes, there is a non-zero probability of that.

Skepticism is healthy, but when the odds of the contrary stance are so low, it helps to ask if deserves to be the level of questioning when the opposite stance offers almost zero evidence of the contrary. (apologies for weird sentence constructions. It sounded right in my head)
Maxing your 401k at 24, wowza young people are smart these days. Whatever you do, do not beat yourself up about finances (too much, I mean maybe you're reckless elsewhere but I doubt it) because you've maximized meaningful time in the market like 2-3 years into your career. From a dollars perspective you'll be able to make all kinds of "mistakes" later on from that 1 decision.

PMI causes this kind of visceral reaction in people, but IMHO it's a little overblown. Using your example, if you put down 5% on a 600K loan and you have outstanding credit, it would cost you like 21K all-in, and at 3.75/30 year you'd be at 1.2M for the 600K loan. So think about your timetable for how long it'd go for 30K for 5% to 120K for 20%, compared to the 21K all-in costs of PMI. In fact you can pre-pay it for additional savings or not carrying the additional monthly payment, but anyways, just something to consider.
There is also an argument that nuclear weapons were actually a greatest good for humanity, as they prevented wars between countries that have them.
> Nuclear power is more like that latter. When it happens it is terrifying and scares the shit out of people.

You mean the Tsunami is like that? Because as far as we know there is MAYBE only one death that was attributed to the Fukushima nuclear incident for example, while thousands lost their lives to the Tsunami in the matter of seconds. yet people still live next to the ocean in Japan as we speak. Completely, utterly irrational.
It’d be nice if it was possible to annotate recursive functions as using the heap instead of the stack for recursion. I’ve seen too many implementations of people writing a poor man’s stack frame to store on the heap and it just totally destroys any sort of elegance the original code had.
Are they? Then provide a source eberyone in the thread is asking for. I think this is the issue. Both sides declared themselves so correct that they see no need to 'show their work'. Clearly there is a progressive warming, there is a strong correlation with co2, the greenhouse model seems mostly confirmed, but what else? I am not contesting your assertion, but seeking understanding. Being flippnt is how we got in this mess.

it is a coordinated trend which was orchestrated by the usual LW handles. This happens every day on twitter, LW or RW, bollywood celebrities or businesses, Baba Ram rahim singh or other godmans, every vested interest generates a coordinated hashtag and trends it.

Also the RW twitter is not given the required exposure by media outlets in India (forget about the Western outlets) when they have their protests as well. This happens with many cases - e.g. Happened after killing of Kamlesh Tiwari. Many people celebrated the murder and were rightly condemned by the RW twitter group but Indian media did not highlight that.

I've never heard it described better. Somehow the culture of a pedantic top comment that 'refutes' the article took off. It's the extension of the infamous dropbox comment to climate change posts.

Each of the report pages has 'Graphics' subpages for the chapters that give you just the figures and some explanations. (You might need to look at the pdf for some more details.)

I remember 10 years ago that the answer to rayiner's question was always "I don't want to pay a ton of money for a whole bundle of crap I don't want when all I want to watch is one specific thing." I saw it all the time.

Now people complain about the complexities of unbundling.

It's fairly clear to me that these complaints, while real, aren't the core issue which is: people would rather get content for free than pay for it. So a lot of the time they will.

The rhetoric about bundling vs unbundling is just the justification.

"If it's only 46%, then that's OK then?" Not that you're saying exactly that, but it's pretty close... The article gives 10%/2720 of the 272000 account for >50% of the emissions, that's still pretty bad.

The 0.2% is however good, in the sense that, it's probably easier/more efficient to make a few hundred huge changes instead of a hundred thousand small ones.
It's funny, the spec they references[0] makes no mention of parsers or nesting. But RFC 8259[1] clearly does. Moreover, I notice they were both published in December 2017. Why two specs for the same standard?

Something I haven't seen mentioned in this discussion yet is that you can reduce the variability of renewable energy by distributing production over wide areas and building relatively efficient long-distance high-voltage DC connections to link up different regions.

The wind may not blow all the time in New York, but it's blowing somewhere in North America. You can average down fluctuations in wind power by building wind turbines on the East Coast, in the Midwest, in the West Coast, etc., and linking everything together.

That reduces the need for storage. You can even further reduce the need for storage by working on adjusting demand dynamically, based on the price of energy. Big office buildings can go for an hour without A/C without people noticing much.

He didn't say they should have a special case. He just made a factual statement, "Sendy treats these email addresses as distinct, but they’re actually largely duplicates because of the Gmail period trick," and looked to implement recaptcha as a solution, which was poorly implemented. However, if you were going to do create one special case for a provider, gmail would be a good choice.

Why do you think this is the most important question?
The problem is that every instrument involved in the chain of measurement has its own inaccuracies, and at the end of the day you would need to make sure that once you add each of their inaccuracies it does not compound up to more than what you are actually measuring. This is a very complex subject and I'm not sure it's as "settled" as you seem to portray it.

That still doesn't preclude the possibility that within the module the function gets called with a field from another instance. I think the idea is that by making it a method that just takes a reference to self, it's impossible to accidentally mutate a field on a different instance, while taking a reference to the field itself doesn't prevent the programmer from accidentally calling it with the wrong instance of the field.
How to Set Up Your Smartphone as Pc Mouse
I was not trying say that security fixes cause breakages. I was trying to suggest that security fixes cost money and therefore old APIs would get withdrawn for monetary reasons (if they weren't simply replaced by something new and shiny which is the usual reason).

If old APIs required no maintenance it would be fairly simple to leave them around.

However, APIs are built on an ever deeper stack of APIs that go all the way back to the Operating system and through internet protocols (APIs) right across the internet. Each API gets updates and fixes and things get deprecated. Bit-rot sets in and things stop working.

My original comment was suggesting that if everyone just left their old APIs around forever then the world would be filled with unpatched APIs with security flaws and I was not sure that would be a better place to be than the world of bit-rot that we have now.

I don't think size of app is the concern. It's what your app does. We have a pretty large CRM style app. React Native is a huge help.

Maybe 10 or so edge cases where we maintain some differing RN code to make things work well on both platforms.

TL;DR: Someone put out a product called "Tournament of Rapists". This followed on the heels of a good year+ of debate about the role companies in the RPG market should play when dealing with people like Zak Smith (see also controversy about Zak Smith as alleged rapist, largely recognized jerk, yet well-known author and credited for work with D&D 5E) and products like a GamerGate card game that also caused debate with DriveThru.

This led to people yelling at DriveThru for selling this supplement, so DriveThru followed through with a new content policy, which led people to be angry because they were either not doing enough or doing too much (debates that should be familiar to the HN crowd). Regardless of position, the realization that DriveThru is an effective monopoly and neither players nor companies have much leverage somewhat sunk in, so alternatives (itch, indiepressrevolution) got some more attention.

This has links to what should be decent summaries, though my work is blocking them so I can't confirm.

The laws have grown muddy due to lack of enforcement. The notion that there is such a thing as opting in creates a huge gray area, and that has made law enforcement hesitant to open any cases as they are likely to take a lot of time, and probably won't lead to any big victories.

I guess that they switched from a great name (logoJoy) to Looka because they have more than logos now. However, it sucks as a name, even though what their new name is, is not an issue traffic wise.

Maybe they should have used some of the VC money to buy a real good name? So many people underestimate the power of a great domain name, and it's a huge mistake.
As someone in an SEO/digital marketing role, I find it hard to believe that a domain name change alone would have led to an 80% drop in traffic. As long as the logojoy.com pages were set up for a 301 redirect to the new domain (which they appears to be), there would be a small hit to SEO, but nowhere near 80%.

For example, a major Google Analytics/Tag Manager consultancy called Lunametrics was acquired by Bounteous in 2018. The GA-related articles originally written on lunametrics.com are still ranking towards the top of search results, even though they are now under the Bounteous.com domain.

What I did notice on the Looka site was that there was no mention at all that the site has rebranded. Not even a "Logojoy is now Looka!" type banner on the top of the homepage with an explanatory blog post. A lot of SEO traffic comes through content marketing, where somebody clicks on an article link that's relevant to their query. I wonder if they removed or archived any of the blog posts or articles that were bringing in traffic.
The case against empathy – and why it makes us immoral
It's not that relative poverty isn't important so much as that it's a zero-sum game. If you raise one person's social status relative to a second, you're lowering that second person's relative to the first's. By contrast, with the comfort wealth brings we first of all can raise everyone's comfort and secondarily moving money from the rich to the poor increases the poor's comfort more than it damage's the rich's comfort.

You possibly can do something about the pain caused by relative status by making the opulence of the wealthy less visible to the poor but I think that brings complications that make the whole enterprise doubtful.
> But when many measurements are averaged over long periods of time, that's still good enough to observe trends on the order of a few mm per year.

That would be assuming your satellites have no measurement error over time (doubtful) and that all satellites used over several decades (since it's not a single satellite) have the same level of accuracy or bias over time. Unfortunately in practice it's very rarely the case and you end up averaging different measurements with different levels of inaccuracies and that does not make for a very convincing resulting single value.
While probably part of it, I don't personally believe that to be a primary cause. America is probably at or near the least racist it has been in its history. I think the entities driving narratives that make people believe racism is rampant, and cause people to make flippant accusations of racism, have more to do with it.
