"That nicely fits leftist preconceptions"

This is not about politics, this is about science, and the science is clearly telling us we are having a significant impact on the earth's climate, and we must act with increasing urgency. The assertion that this is a leftist preconception is nonsense. People across the political spectrum understand the science - there are climate scientists who are part of the 95% scientific consensus who are also to the right politically.

The scientific consensus on global warming is beyond dispute, but like the Tobacco wars of yesteryear, industry will not go down without a well-funded fight (which is exactly what that illustration captures).

You imply in your rebuttal that climate change scientists are engaged in a conspiracy to increase funding. As I said further up the thread, it's as absurd as the '9/11 was an inside job' conspiracy favoured by what you would call 'leftists'.

Lets call the 'global warming conspiracy' what it is: a half-baked fringe conspiracy theory favoured by people who believe the 'skeptic' points endlessly promoted by industry (and continually debunked by actual scientists).

...or the fact that's it's increasingly looking as if cosmic rays cause cloud formation thereby controlling climate change. The climate is a chaotic system and by it's very definition you can't predict or model said system.

No real scientist would ever write what you just did. Is this like Einstein's cosmological constant, expansion of the universe, or any number of other supposed knowns that have been proven wrong.

For market forces to work, there needs to be a market.

Maybe we should do what they did in the UK, and require the owners of the physical layer to the homes to lease lines and space in their switching centers at a reasonable price to independent ISPs. Then there would actually be a competitive market for ISPs, and then we could let market forces provide net neutrality for those who want a neutral ISP.
Thanks Sherwin!

It's possible to use buttons that click like normal mice buttons for the same kind of tactile feedback. The prototype happens to use buttons that don't quite click just because I had them around, and it still feel fine because I can feel when the buttons have bottomed out.

>If they added them tomorrow, the Apple TV would instantly be the number one gaming console. Think about that for a second.

Think about this for a second, there have been over 65 million Xbox360's sold worldwide since its debut in 2005. Numbers are sketchy but analysts seem to estimate there have been about 10 million Apple TV's sold if you count ALL three generations, the first of which debuted in 2007.

If you compare the 360's sales numbers to the Wii (over 90 million) or the PS3 (over 60 million), you realize that the Apple TV is no where competing with these other TV connected products, despite the fact that it costs significantly less.

Let's not even get started on sales of games. I don't need to look up the sales numbers for Xbox360 because the Apple TV has sold (and has) 0 games that run on it...

Think about what you are saying before just posting needless linkbait.

"But I can't help feel like some part of the experience is lost in the process."

Some of the experience is lost in the process. We need not really dance around or wonder about that, it is. But what will be gained will be greater than what is lost, or we'd go back to the old ways, which we won't.

A mass-produced medium-class bed isn't a magnificent hand-carved bed adorned with various and sundry Greek gods and goddesses. But the former scales, and the latter doesn't, and sitting and wringing hands about the experience lost when your bed isn't gloriously hand-carved is missing the point of the mass-produced bed quite badly.

"Is there going to even be a place for me in 20 years when I'm looking to teach Computer Science at a state school?"

A place? Quite likely. But probably not standing in front of a class giving a monologue, because in 20 years the whole "give a monologue to 50 people barely paying attention, hand out assignments to be done one week later, trickle out feedback about performance two week after that" model will be considered laughably quaint, and our grandchildren will ask us why on Earth we ever expected anyone to be educated with such a terrible model. It may not be a state school, either.

A moment of silence for some of the old nuances may be called for, but what is coming is a tidal wave, not a couple incremental advances. It won't be entirely 100% positive, but effectively nobody will be seriously advocating going back to the old ways in 20 years.

If they go to court and get an opinion it should be really helpful as a guide for other entrepreneurs who see re-processing the information on the web in new ways as the foundation for their business.

You mean, like Blekko?

The simple, inconvenient truth is most folks who are making money from the web, like search engines, are not content creators (nor content owners), they are content publishers... who publish for free. "Are you a non-technical person who wants to get something onto the web? No problem. We'll help you with that, for free. Just give us some personal info about you so we can solicit money from advertisers."

(Placement, e.g., paid placement, where the eyeballs are more likely to see something, for a fee, is another matter.)
The market was trading on a belief that Apple's numbers would be about $2 billion higher than they were. Therefore the stock will fall as people digest the number and re-evaluate where Apple should be trading.

Since they reported numbers that were in the neighborhood of 6% below what was expected, their stock fell about 6%. Which is a pretty large drop.
I noticed another couple issues with the article. One, it doesn't mention the long psychotherapeutic tradition that this movement is clearly part of. Jung, Milton Erickson and R.D. Laing are three prominent examples and there are many more.

The other issue is a bias toward childhood sexual abuse as the universal(ish) trauma that hypothetically leads to dissociation and thence to voices. It's not clear how much that is just the article's emphasis vs. the actual movement's bias, but if the latter, it is a gigantic and dangerous red herring. Not because sexual abuse of children doesn't happen or isn't traumatic (of course it does and is), but because the desire to seek it out as a hidden cause for therapeutic purposes is what led to the repressed-memory fiasco of the 80s and 90s. Once people have that preconception about the cause of trauma, they will invent imaginary abuse experiences because they believe finding them is the key to their healing. We've been down that road and it harmed a lot of people.

More importantly, it misconstrues the therapeutic process. Factual research to dig up historical causes is not the point (besides being basically impossible). You can establish causes of trauma till the cows come home and it doesn't cure people. This was Erickson's objection to Freud. What heals is integrating experience now. You don't need factual causes to do that. It's a distraction to take therapeutic experiences literally. Their truth is emotional, not factual, and to approach them with preconceptions blocks the process.

Those objections aside, I thought the article was really exciting – an oasis of sanity. We need a great deal more such humane ways of working.
"Apple said its earnings per share were $9.32 on revenue of $35 billion. Analysts polled by Thomson One Analytics predicted earnings per share of $10.36 on revenue of $37.19 billion."

It doesn't matter how much money you actually make when you are as big as Apple, it matters what you make compared to what people (analysts) think and expect you to make.

CO2 is not the single driver. If it were, how do you explain we do not see significant temperature increase over the past few years while there is more and more CO2 in the atmosphere. You cant have it both ways.

And I repeat again, there is no consensus. Consensus in science is not like a democratic vote. The consensus in science is obtained when there is NO ONE debating anything anymore. Just like noone is casting doubt on Einstein s relativity theory in physics. Do we have that level of scientific certitude regarding climate? Hell no.

Cool project! But I must say, the algorithm that computes the percentage score seems rather poor, at least if the goal is to score the percent visual difference between the selected color and the actual. It gave me 100% on Coca-Cola (and I replicated the 100% with a slightly different shade in a different browser tab), yet I got only 3.14% for leaving Apple the default color, which looks almost the same as the correct color. Some of my other answers were similarly penalized heavily for brightness being a little off even if the hue was almost exact. The visual difference between those colors and the correct colors was far less than the visual difference between some of my higher scoring answers and the correct color.

Too much obsession over UI.

What people really "need" is the raw data.

If they want to make some UI that they like, then they can do it. If they want to offer this to others, they can do it.

If they want to load the data into some SQL database, they can do it.

If they want split the data into some other format using csplit and load into some other faster database, they can do it.

If they want to extract a portion of a raw file and just use agrep on that, they can do it.

The point is that UI is a personal decision.

Because some people do not like CL's bare bones UI doesn't give them the right to do anything. Because some people don't like bloated and clumsy web interfaces and prefer text commands doesn't give them the right to do anything either.

But people can't be stopped from making personal decisions about how to process data. Public data.

It's funny how some websites think they "own" data that is given to them. Do they "need" this data? Yes, they do.

You said "their estimates" which I took to mean Apples own estimates. Isn't it tradition for Apple to beat their own estimates, fail to meet analysts estimates, and having their shares drop for a period of time afterwards? I'm not a trader though so correct me if I'm wrong.

> "science is clearly telling us ... we must act with increasing urgency"

Forgive me for this meta-detour, but:

Science tells us that the climate is changing in ways that most of humanity would consider harmful. Science tells us that carbon emissions are one of the major drivers of those changes. Science tells us what we can expect to happen if we take certain courses of action. But science doesn't tell us what we "must" do or what course of action we "must" take; science only tells us "is".

"Must" is necessarily a matter of ethics, philosophy, politics, or religion. Science doesn't tell us what course of action is better or worse, only what the expected outcomes are. Things-other-than-science are how we determine what we mean by "better" or "worse" (for an extreme example, consider that some people want humanity to go extinct; their idea of "better" and my idea of "better" do not remotely resemble each other.)

It states clearly where the data is from;

Measurements from three satellites

what the image represents;

areas classified as "probable melt" (light pink) correspond to those sites where at least one satellite detected surface melting. The areas classified as "melt" (dark pink) correspond to sites where two or three satellites detected surface melting

and who it was produced by;

Jesse Allen, NASA Earth Observatory and Nicolo E. DiGirolamo, SSAI and Cryospheric Sciences Laboratory

purely by googling the names, I find this - http://modis-snow-ice.gsfc.nasa.gov/?c=personnel

and this - http://modis-snow-ice.gsfc.nasa.gov/?c=greenland

So, on balance, I'd say they are almost definitely not just making this stuff up, which would actually be tabloid level, and they instead are actually producing actual science.

I mean, what do you think NASA are doing, given they actually have satellites and stuff? Ignoring the massive amounts of collected data and instead making up graphs to trick republicans into installing solar panels or what? I don't get it.
This could better be phrased, "if people weren't such jerks, we wouldn't have to go out of our way to avoid talking to them."

Offending someone causes them pain. Causing them to become defensive causes me pain. It makes sense that I would like to avoid both those things. If I could trust myself not to make dismissive and hurtful remarks, and I could trust other people not to let their egos get in the way, I would love to interact the way the OP advocates.

I have created a work environment where I can, but it does take effort: both to create and maintain. It requires trust from the people around you that can only be earned, not demanded. It requires trust in the people around you, so that vulnerability becomes a strength instead of a weakness. It requires an ease of shared purpose.

Without those things, not caring how one's message is received is a recipe for disaster.

Well, Amazon is making news because we can naively assume by looking at a summary that they're doing it the same way they make money — by working in volume. We can estimate pretty quickly how many people work in Amazon's warehouses, at something in the neighborhood of "an awful lot of people". So it sounds good at a glance. Few people will even notice the details that whittle away the eligible base down to around 0.

If they were giving a paltry reimbursement to everyone who worked in an Amazon warehouse while taking classes, that would add up to something much more significant than the big companies I've worked for that employed people who already felt set-for-life and who could've gotten an advanced degree on the company dime if they felt like it, for example.
