This is exactly why I think the debate should be less about "how can we as humans stop affecting Earth's natual climate" and "how can we as humans gain control over Earth's natural climate".

Climate change happens with us or without us. If we're going to protect our huge investments in climate-dependent infrastructure (i.e. cities) then we're gonna want (say) giant space mirrors to compensate for any zany things that nature might throw at us.

The political problem of who gets to control the Earth's thermostat is, of course, a tricky one.
Yeah, I thought it was some amazing new scientific discovery of materials that could act like other elements, or something.

Yes, it either proves that

(b) We're only being saved from CO2-induced global warming by a mini ice-age, therefore it's even more urgent to cut CO2 emissions because temperatures are just gonna shoot up as soon as the ice age ends.

It's interesting that it is a worldview adopted by many Christian groups, since for example, the book of Job from the bible is basically on this topic: to simplify, Job becomes sick, friends come and say everything happens with a reason, Job says that's bullshit, God rewards him for it. This is of course my somewhat personal reading of it, so it might be a serious misinterpretation.

For those who don't have time to read the article, "mini Ice Age" literally means that winter will last longer, and be more prevalent at lower altitudes/latitudes

Well, that's what "ice age" meant in the days of wooly mammoths too. Longer, colder winters. It just needs to be sustained for a few thousand years before the glaciers start rolling through Central Park.

Do the arguments that, "there are so few companies with large IPOs" or, "there's only a small proportion of people buying in right now" seem bizarre to anyone else?

But it's more subtle now, and we have to figure out if it's leading to where we DON'T want to be. To me, and some other people, it seems so.

It seems like a significant shift for Google to be releasing major search features as Chrome exclusives. I think they did this before with the personal blacklist feature which was eventually put into the web UI. (Can anyone fact check that for me? I never used that feature.) Should be interesting to see if this is the start of a trend. I know I'll probably switch to Chrome eventually if that becomes the only way to get the full Google experience.
I entered in Executive MBA program after financially recovering from two failed startups. Sorely disappointed with program and thinking of dropping out. From my viewpoint,

1. What are the root causes leading to business schools failing at the education of entrepreneurship?

Most MBA programs do not have start-up teaching strategy. Most have one or two courses typically at the tail end of the program and a course requirement of a business plan. They need to have eship in program DNA.

IMO,a better approach may be to help form teams of students with entrepreneurial mindset and personal compatibility after first couple of quarters of the program. As the program progresses, have them focus on their startup in every course. For example, during accounting course for team projects, have these teams evaluate public companies in their target market, during marketing course, have them come up with marketing plan for their start-up, during HR/organization courses, have them come up with the culture and structure plan at a milestone in their startup growth. Every MBA coursework is an opportunity to work on different aspects of a startup.

I believe Steve Blank's recent experiment at Stanford is closest to my thinking what should happen in eship portion of MBA. 10-13 week course may work for another app/web 2.0 creation but most high technology startups require months of planning and that is where MBA program can work and should focus.

Hmm, yes, I'm a twit - they did specifically say this is deaths per vehicle. Still not against per passenger mile or as deviance from the demographic norm for the driver which would be what we'd really need to find how dangerous the car inherently was, but still, this is better than I said.

If you have the time, offer the person taking care of the sick person to take over the taking care for a few hours or days.

I took care of my mother when she was sick and none of my 3 older brothers offered to take over the duty of caring for her. It was like my home was the hospital for 3 months and not even one of them offered to take care of her for one night. I developed this deep bitter feeling towards them during that time.

I understand if they have things to take care of but not even 1 night?! It still pisses me off thinking back. For all I care, all of her children have an equal responsibility to take care of her. It was like I had to put my life on hold so that they can continue living their lives like nothing's happening.
That's why you use Bundler. In my experience Bundler solves this problem 100%. Lock your gems and get Ruby from RVM and the chances of nasty surprises are next to nil.

Yes, I suppose different sites will need slightly different fitness functions but I'm confident in the future of automated design.
I agree with the two posts about offering your users something and testing the percent of invitations sent out. I believe expanding your site through this model takes two things, some type of reward for bringing in new members even it is is marginal because it will make the user who is inviting people that much more likely to send out invitations and secondly, most obviously, having a great product. If you have a great product, something that people truly find useful and important, user's will without question want to tell their friends. People love to be the first to tell their friends about something useful and not only do they have that ability with an invitation model but they are in a position of power by being their "in" to the website. The key is creating a product so great that users will have to talk about it. Also depending on what type of site you are running, because you did not go into specifics, you have to examine whether the user base is better by having more users. Is this a social network? In a social network more users is obviously better for people because it allows them to connect with more people and more of their friends. The only value in a social network is by having people to interact with so the user base would be very motivated in adding people. The same could be said if this was a skill gaming site where having more people means more potential money to win meaning a higher incentive to invite people. The nature of your site will highly influence if people want to invite other people to it. You have to distinguish your's and if its not one that is made better by inviting more people then you have to focus on creating a great product and providing users with a reward for sending you business.

What's the confidence on this?

I recall a hub-bub a year or two back because a climate scientist made the scientifically reasonable statement that it was "inconclusive" whether the Earth had warmed in the last 15 years, because the statistical significance of 15 years of data was only at 90%, and scientists like having a 95% confidence before they say something. (With the extra year of data, it is now "conclusive", eg, >95%, that the Earth has warmed since 1995.)

I see 10 or 12 years of data on that graph; what's the confidence based on these measurements that we are entering a mini Ice Age?

There's some info here but the relevant part seems garbled.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venture_capital_in_Israel#Chara...

Israel’s venture capital industry has about 70 active venture capital funds, of which 14 international VCs with Israeli offices. Additionally, there are some 220 international funds, including Polaris Venture Partners, Accel Partners and Greylock Partners, that do not have branches in Israel, but actively invest in Israel through an in-house specialist.

In 2009, the Life Sciences Sector led the market with $272 million or 24% of total capital raised, followed by the Software Sector with $258 million or 23%, the Communications sector with $219 million or 20%, and the Internet sector with 13% of capital raised in 2009. [6]

roughly 78%-88% of investments that reached Israeli high-tech companies in 2001-2008 were done either by Israeli VC firms (the 38%-49% above) or by foreign or other entities in syndication with Israeli VC firms: 37%-50%.
There's also the repatriating of foreign money.

There's also the craze associated with shortages.

Just an idea.

“Reversed” or “Real Time” Search with ElasticSearch and Ruby

Relevant: http://www.ted.com/talks/david_deutsch_on_our_place_in_the_c...

As David makes the point (at the near end of the video), the best available science in the 1970's predicted that the climate was cooling down. The best available science of today (not the least, with the help of best marketing) would predict Global Warming.

The same best scientific estimates of the day also predict that our best projections to bring down the emissions (which we will not achieve) themselves suffice only to move the disaster point a little further, but not prevent the inevitable.
The Maunder minimum argument has been around awhile. A useful counterbalance from NASA 2008:

http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/2008/

--------------------------

"Solar irradiance: The solar output remains low (Fig. 4), at the lowest level in the period since satellite measurements began in the late 1970s, and the time since the prior solar minimum is already 12 years, two years longer than the prior two cycles. This has led some people to speculate that we may be entering a "Maunder Minimum" situation, a period of reduced irradiance that could last for decades. Most solar physicists expect the irradiance to begin to pick up in the next several months — there are indications, from the polarity of the few recent sunspots, that the new cycle is beginning.

However, let's assume that the solar irradiance does not recover. In that case, the negative forcing, relative to the mean solar irradiance is equivalent to seven years of CO2 increase at current growth rates. So do not look for a new "Little Ice Age" in any case. Assuming that the solar irradiance begins to recover this year, as expected, there is still some effect on the likelihood of a near-term global temperature record due to the unusually prolonged solar minimum. Because of the large thermal inertia of the ocean, the surface temperature response to the 10-12 year solar cycle lags the irradiance variation by 1-2 years. Thus, relative to the mean, i.e, the hypothetical case in which the sun had a constant average irradiance, actual solar irradiance will continue to provide a negative anomaly for the next 2-3 years."

--------------------------

That said, if a Maunder minimum does somehow manage to give us a couple extra decades to get our house in order (before the subsequent recovery of solar activity), that's a godsend. Let's hope it pans out.

There's no real way for them to implement this in a cross-browser way; they could load a hidden iframe for the first result, but it looks like they're actually rendering it in the background, not just pre-caching it, so it wouldn't have as much of an effect. Other browsers could probably implement this just as well, eventually.

3 Internships Available with Wildly Profitable B2B Software Company (Zannee)
Hi Hacker Newsers!

With summer here already and your friends off interning at Google or Twitter, some of you may be worried and frustrated about not having an internship of your own.

Perhaps none of your summer plans materialized. Or you didn't decide that you wanted an internship until it was too late, and now you're stuck.

Well, here at Zannee, we've still got open internship opportunities for this summer! If you are reading this, then you may be an ideal candidate!

By interning with Zannee from now to the end of August, you can:

- Gain real-world experience helping to develop products for a successful B2B software company.

- See Lean Startup principles applied first-hand.

- Get to build your sales and marketing mindset as you learn from Dane Maxwell (founder of Zannee).

- Possibly get university credit for the internship (depends on the university, but we'll help in any way we can).

Please note that the internships are unpaid.

We are looking for interns with skills in two main categories of web development:

- Frontend design and development. (Relevant skills: HTML/CSS, Javascript/jQuery, Photoshop/sketching/mockups, a good design sense).

- Backend architecture and development. (Relevant skills: Python, Django, Amazon Web Services, some familiarity with Linux).

It's fine if you currently only have experience with some of these; we'll give you opportunities both to reinforce your existing skills, and to learn new ones.

Even you are interested but aren't a technical person, still contact us - we'll discuss your skills and interests and see if there are other ways you could contribute and learn.

Interested? Please contact the intern coordinator (a.k.a me, Chris), at chrishaum@gmail.com.

I only partly agree with the author, but I think that using something like Racket[1] in the first CS course is the good balance between the two extremes.

For the "fun CS" part: Scheme really doesn't get in students way (no syntax to learn besides "balance the parenthesis) and since Racket come with "batteries-included" as they say, you can start drawing things and making little apps (web or desktop) very quickly. I'll also add that the documentation is examplary, which is really something important in this case.

For the "real CS" (lacking of a better word) part: first, there are really good introductory book which use Scheme like SICP, The {Little,Seasoned} Schemer and HtDP (which is written by the Racket team). Second, the Racket platform support many languages like C[2] and even ALGOL 60[3] which is very close to the kind of pseudo-code you'll find in algorithm books like the famous introduction to algorithm.

For everything that isn't directly programming-related, well, it doesn't change anything. Execpt maybe for the basics of lambda-calculus which students would grasp easier if they have used lambda expression before, so Scheme is still a win here.
