Really, you linked to Mad Bill McKibbens Rolling Stone rant? The one that insists the laws of physics are changing? That guy is an embarassment as much as some of the nuttier 'there is no global warming' zealots are. Unhinged alarmism and 'big oil under the bed' is only good for preaching to the choir.

Two points:
- consensus isn't proof, it's just a bunch of people agreeing with each other. Scientifically, it means nothing. The list of disproven theories that once had wide consensus is deep and rich in examples. It's OK to talk about a consensus, it's not OK to use this as a line of argument that something is true.
- the IPCC models are woeful at predictions, the IPCC themselves have stated as much. It's not unscientific to express doubt about the models - it's unscientific to do the opposite.

The global warming movement isn't a conspiracy, but there are many interesting social phenomena that can be observed amongst it's ardent supporters.
I found http://play.typeracer.com/ a fun way to get my typing speed up. I originally just went there to play around with my shiny new mechanical keyboard (which turned out to be very nice to use) and then it replaced minesweeper for short mental breaks.

Admittedly, I was typing pretty fast before I started--I think I went from something like 80 wpm to 110. But it was certainly fun!

As an aside, I've found short mental breaks like that really help when I get stuck on some little issue or bug and am not making any progress. It also keeps me from getting too frustrated!

I'm in college taking some CS classes and the actual material is great, but the framework code they give us for projects is really poorly written Python. I've spent more time grappling with Python and their code than I have with AI or compiler concepts! Taking a break whenever I encountered yet another stupid bug helped me avoid spending hours going in circles.
"June broke or tied 3,215 high-temperature records across the United States. That followed the warmest May on record for the Northern Hemisphere – the 327th consecutive month in which the temperature of the entire globe exceeded the 20th-century average, the odds of which occurring by simple chance were 3.7 x 10-99, a number considerably larger than the number of stars in the universe." (http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/global-warmings-te...)

There is scientific consensus (http://www.skepticalscience.com/global-warming-scientific-co...).

Your understanding of scientific consensus is not correct: "Consensus implies general agreement, though not necessarily unanimity." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_consensus).

You clearly have an opinion on this topic, but everything you've asserted in this thread is simply wrong. Debate on these issues is always fine (even with a scientific consensus, it does not mean 'no further debate') but you do the opposing camp a disservice when you promote falsehoods.

Forgive the cheek, but you really should be doing this before assuming a position in a debate: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=scientific+consensus+on+global+warming

I'm currently working on something that involves creating lots of custom dashboards. Here's a list of examples that I collected for design inspiration:

I hope you find these helpful. I'll be extending the list based on the suggestions in this thread.
I agree that emotions reading of primates can turn wrong when taken out of context (even the reading of human facial expression can be confusing out of context). But in context, you'll quickly (and sometimes painfully) learn the meaning of their facial expressions, and other affective displays.

Also, tears are not necessary to cry. In your source, scientists prefer to conservatively talk about "distress vocalizations" instead of crying. But that's necessary because they are so similar in the first place! That's my point: they express their distress! In everyday life (not writing a paper), I'd just say that "this ape is crying because her baby died". Heck, even my dog, I'd say that he's crying. I don't care that there are no tears. They have a mammalian limbic system, and the rewards it contextualizes have to be evolutionarily sensible!

Btw, and I know that's not a strong argument, but my eyes don't produce tears (following some medication). Does it downgrade my crying into a distress vocalization? If not, is it because you think that you know how I am feeling? How I am thinking? really? How do you know that?

PS: as a_bonobo yourself, you know that what I say makes sense ;).

Based on the Greenland ice shelts melting, calculations show you're pretty good for another 28,000 years.

That doesn't take into account any change in the ocean temperature from the melted ice, and any cold changes that might create.

The current historical rate of sea level rise is about 2-3mm per century. So if you're in a coast city there's probably a couple of centuries to go. Given the rate at which man-made islands can be created (or existing land masses extended) if necessary (Dubai, Hong Kong, Manhattan) I'd say there are much bigger problems to worry about.

I tried this in Indonesia. It does not taste "like coffee, only better". It tastes just different from coffee, and definitely not "better", IMHO.

So if you are looking for really, really good coffee... this is not it.
It makes perfect sense. If you're widely expected to make a lot of money, people will price that into your stock. If you make a lot minus n, you're doing less well than the analysts expected, and so your stock is overvalued.

The failing here is not that the stock price dropped on results that were worse than the market expected, it's that the market expected too much in the first place, causing the stock to become overvalued.

There's a fine line between bullshitting and using the right jargon. A good analogy is your resume. If you don't use the words that the recruiters look for in a resume - even if you are very good at what you do, you won't get past the automatic software screeners. Similarly if you don't use the correct jargon with the VCs, it's very unlikely that you'll get past their initial screen test. You don't have to bullshit about your plan, your team or your future goals - but you need to use the right words and language to describe them.

Is it just me or does Vincent Lauria stand out as the one guy in the bunch that I wouldn't want to pitch (or have a beer with).

I've noticed this trend with VC's I've met. The bigger the VC name, the more respectful they are of entrepreneurs and what they go through.

I know there are lots of people who pitch bad ideas, but that is what having good deal flow is about. Getting your schedule so packed with good people/businesses that their is no room for the ones that wouldn't make it.

Heh, I guess being in the Bay Area really helps with getting a really wide range of companies to sponsor research :P. Looking through some of the bigger research labs, it seems most big companies represented at some point.

I was just curious because my impression is that CS is rather well funded, especially for having far lower expenses than anybody else in college of engineering.

I guess that there is no 'discrimination' at all here (7-14% difference is too small to be conscious discrimination). The pay gap must be fully explained by the maternity leaves resulting in skills/experience gaps. Take the girls' salaries before their first maternity leave and i bet you will get same or higher salaries than guys' of the same age.

I hire guys and girls, and i usually find girls to be more picky about choosing an employer, and demanding a higher pay, and usually worth it (i don't remember a guy working on a Friday night, girls routinely do that).

If the courts decide that the listing site can block access to such public listings they have been entrusted with, I don't know how the law needs to change, but the current legal situation is bad for the general public, bad for commerce, and bad for progress.

Not to burst your bubble, but from the standpoint of pure probability it's not likely to be a million dollar idea either. However, I don't know anything about you or your company so maybe you've beaten the odds and your company is on track to having an arms-length valuation greater than a million dollars already.

With business, your innovation absolutely has to turn a profit. This means that important research with less potential profit will die out, e.g. malaria and tuberculosis treatments.

It is for this reason that I believe there is still a place for academia in our society.
Hi sdoering,

You are correct, it is the 2nd one. It emails reviews that other people have written about your app.

It is targeted at iOS app developers who want to know what their users are saying their app (or even their competitors app). It removes the need for the developer to manually check the App Stores each day to see if customers have left feedback (as a bonus it also translates reviews into English).

Thanks for the tip about the sign up button above the fold.
Unfortunately, the people writing checks don't ask "how could it be better for the same money?"; they ask, "how could it be equal for less money?"[1] Yes, we have an opportunity to make education much, much better. With the exception of a few places like Harvard and MIT, most of it will pass right by the US.

[1] I see a small possibility where the strong teachers unions get behind this as a future-directed way to save teaching jobs, and that could make all the difference. However, unions aren't too smart at predicting and driving assive upheavals. Instead, they will likely fight any change kicking and screaming.

It's been pointed out to you that there is no 'well funded fight', except that plenty of government money is available to people who are looking for the 'right' answers.

You can argue on whatever other point you might like, but the fact is they mythical 'big oil' funding has been debunked many times over. Even the oil companies themselves fund more activities by strongly alarmist climate change people than they do for scientists who are skeptical of the catastrophic man-made climate change theories.

This scratching around for evidence is so manic it led to Peter Gleick of the Pacific Institute committing identify theft and fraud to try and conjure up some evil plan from the Heartland institute. As it was the money he found wouldn't cover the canapes bill at an UNEP conference.

As pointed out, one of the most influential people in proxy temperature reconstructions is Steve McIntyre, who is retired and self funded, and does it out of a desire to make sure things are correct.

It's time to drop the 'half baked fringe conspiracy theory' that 'big oil' are somehow funding some sort of disinformation campaign.

It's also time to drop the '95% of climate scientists' meme, because it is the result of an unscientific online poll with a dismal response rate - the '95%' was 75 out of 77 scientists who self-identified as climate scientists taken from a poll of 10,250, of which there was 3,000 responses.

> climate change scientists are engaged in a conspiracy to increase funding
Conspiracy is the wrong word, but I don't know a single person who relies on funding to be interested in having it decreased. The simple truth is that funding should be blind, so that the researcher has no idea of who is paying for it. This applies to all disciplines, not just climate related.

I think it's an overstatement to say that online programs are the future of education. Coursera and Udacity are not selling the same thing that universities are selling, at all, and I find it hard to imagine them affecting higher education substantially.

What do people gain from spending four years in college? Many of them learn something, but most of the value is in the degree, which serves as a signal of competence in the workforce and is a requirement for most jobs. Online programs probably won't provide the same kind of signaling in the foreseeable future. Moreover even students who are primarily interested in learning are unlikely to get as much out of online programs as they do out of college; the rewards structure of college drives many students to work much harder than they would on their own, and (without the signaling reward) online programs can't reproduce that motivation.

Lectures are a very small part of the value proposition that universities make, and of course their functionality is already mostly duplicated by textbooks. Indeed, I'm not entirely sure why American universities primarily teach their students with lectures right now (versus books, video, Socratic method, etc.). I'd guess that the answer is some combination of tradition, students having a fundamental psychological preference for live teaching, and society in general preferring to believe that colleges are selling "education" rather than signaling, motivation, and lifestyle. In particular, I don't at all believe that the dominance of live lecture is driven primarily by a lack of good video materials. And availability of good video materials is the only thing that I see Coursera and Udacity really changing.

So: I'm not sure if there will still be state school professorships in 20 years, but I wouldn't bet against it.

(Note: for the record, I'm a fan of Coursera and Udacity. I also enjoy universities as they are today, though I wouldn't be heartbroken if they changed dramatically.)
The least expensive version is $13 * 12 = $156, and lacks many features including the ability to import data from the desktop version. QuickBooks Mac is $128 from Amazon, so even assuming you need to buy a new copy every year, which is not at all true in my (5+ year) experience with the product, it's still a better deal. If you're willing to pay a (possibly large) price premium to access your accounting system via the Web, fine, but it's not going to save you money on license costs. Perhaps payroll is cheaper with the Web service? I don't know; I've never needed it.

Why would apt owners NOT want their listings cross posted and distributed to the largest possible audience? I call BS.
Ok, let's look at #1. That is the product you are selling, not just my reviews, but the reviews of competing apps or other apps in the space.

Which leaves me with two more questions.
1) where is the text field where I enter in the apps that I want to recieve reviews about

2) why don't you turn this into an app? Why is it a web/e-mail solution?

We all have so much e-mail already, you could simply create an app, the app user gets a unique ID, you go scraping and when you find new reviews, you send a notification and the person can then see them.

Furthermore, you should be able to do some metrics on "people who are getting reviews on x app are also getting reviews on y app, which may help companies stay up on new competitors.

This is a great idea. I grew up around fab-houses in China and I can say it definitely takes much more effort to even get a prototype down in the States. The cost of parts alone is ridiculous and probably off-putting to newcomers.

It's a real shame, since there's so much talent here that could be building amazing new hardware, but we end up just waiting for big companies like Google to tell us what the next platform will be.

I'll definitely be subscribing to this subr and coming to some meetups. Hell, we can organize bulk orders and get cheaper parts from China!
This assumes that Apple learned nothing from the success of the iPod.

If you look at Apple's product line up right now, they are slowly but surely back filling their product line up just like the iPod. Look how that turned out for everyone else.

It's too early to bet on either platform in the long term.
