Are you joking, rain keeps water vapor in balance but long term CO2 sticks around.
Regarding your second point, the code for the strats would be immensely and immediately more useful than the trading platform. You wouldn't need much infrastructure to build a profitable strategy to trade against it.
Particularly names in southern regions of India, where traditionally people would have only a single name (no surname) and when a surname is required they might give the first letter of their father's name.
I sometimes wonder what the world would look like if somehow it was all hypercards or DCOM or OpenDoc or NeWS or just about anything other than a simple document format painfully hammered into the shape of an applications platform.
It sounds like these forks are a net positive for the MySQL-ish environment.
Well, true, but the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere is determined by the balance of (i) water vapor condensing back to liquid water (e.g. rain), and (ii) water evaporating to atmosphere from oceans, lakes, soils and ecosystems. This balance is mostly determined by the temperature.

So you can't really add much water to the atmosphere by only emitting water vapor by e.g. burning gas, or even boiling huge amounts of water, because the excess water vapor will just condense back to liquid water.

Also if we imagine some huge industrial process that dries the air, removes water vapor from the air, this wouldn't really decrease the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere, because the drier air would just suck up the water back when it next comes into contact with a water body, damp soil or vegetation.

i don't deny doing stupid things. look, here's an example from my recent posting history - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6121287 and the follow-up http://www.acooke.org/cute/HyperloopW0.html#Mon29Jul20132135...

what depresses me is that people don't admit it, learn, and move on. instead we get "well, i am showing how important it is to make this information more explicit because everyone else is as dumb as i am". no. we are not.

ps and no, i am not interested in winning you as a friend. what makes you think i would be? i am interested in influencing people. i want people to be smarter. it's frustrating that this can't be done by simply pointing out the correct answer. instead, people need to be molly-coddled into changing their minds without noticing. by pretending to be friends. an enormous amount of effort is needed to effect the smallest change.

i don't deny it. i think i need to read and learn from that depressing little book. but god i wish people would think a little more.

Big +1 on the Quad Lock bike mount + case.

I was apprehensive at first, but it's as solid as it is sleekly designed.

In the past two months, I've logged more than 500 miles with it over rough city roads, the occasional pothole, and some off-road terrain. I've even taken a spill with it. Not once has it come close to failing. And yet, it only takes a second to get the phone on and off.

The kit comes with four rubber o-rings: two small, two large. I think you're only expected to use two (whichever's the best fit for your bike). But I use all four: the small ones straight across, the large ones diagonally. Works great.

As for the case, I've never used one in the past, preferring the feel of a naked iPhone. But the QL case is thin and nice enough to the touch that I don't bother removing it. I rather like it now. The kit also includes a water resistant (but still touch sensitive) cover, which has worked well for me in the rain a few times.

So yeah, I'm a huge fan. I've actually ordered a second one for my other bike.
But despite it's gimmicks - Windows 8 is still a massive improvement.
I first heard it from one of the world's most experienced weightlifting coaches, Lyn Jones. It explained a lot to me too.

The corollary is that people who love something, but can't do it easily, tend to be good coaches. Because they've had to really make an effort and have diligently sought out ways to improve themselves.

Put another way: "those who can't do, teach" isn't an insult to teachers. It's praise.
Why do you think that the flaws that I've personally experienced with JavaScript differ from those that others have experienced and already documented? The flaws are there regardless of who is using JavaScript.

I'll list some of the most obvious and serious ones for you, since you seem incapable of finding this basic information on your own:

- Its type system is horribly broken.

- Its scoping is horribly broken.

- Its comparison operators do not behave sensibly.

- Its prototype-based OO system is impractical, and quite poor compared to other prototype-based languages.

- Its lack of class-based OO leads to awful hacks using its awful prototype-based OO functionality.

- Its lack of support for proper modules and namespacing makes large-scale software development tedious.

- The fact that something as obviously-dumb as semicolon insertion is even conceived of and supported in the first place.

- It's so rife with other bad language features that one of the most widely-respected books about it, Crockford's "JavaScript: The Good Parts", is all about not using large parts of the language.

- Its standard library is extremely limited, and what does exist works quite poorly.

- Its tooling (editors, debuggers, profilers, etc.) is lacking in many respects, and is often entangled within web browsers.

- Its performance is lacking.

- Its community is generally inexperienced and incompetent, and produce a lot of very bad code.

- There's little evidence that things will improve in the future.

While other languages have flaws, none (aside from maybe PHP) have as many utterly stupid, unnecessary and unjustifiable flaws as JavaScript does. And at least these other languages make some real effort to eliminate such flaws, as well. We just don't see that from the JavaScritp community.
This is exactly what I've been looking for! It seems the product is aimed at technical users (at least initially), though there are some technical details I didn't see in the video, description or FAQ:

- This is an MUA, correct? Based on the features on the project page, it sounds like MailPile will not act as an MTA or MDA, and is predominantly interfacing with mbox/maildir. I see features for IMAP and POP3 on the roadmap, but its not clear if using those protocols is idiomatic for MailPile.

- How is PGP/GPG handled? The server-side code for MailPile must have access to my secret key, correct? Is MailPile's web interface then accessible via HTTPS (given the proper cert)?

- Is there a plan for a key management interface?

- It sounds like the MUA itself (MailPile) is a server, and it would access maildir/mbox directly. Is there any API planned for accessing that data through MailPile's programatically, or is MailPile's main goal to provide a browser interface?

- This might have been covered, but will the web interface support mobile as well?

Thanks for working on this...it really sounds like a great project!

What a horrible title. This is a book about how to program in scheme, not how to design programs. Nothing on architecture or common patterns. Nothing on how to abstract a domain or analyze a problem. Just solutions for common programming a tasks.

Not knocking it but its far from design.
And what happens when that obscure part of code you contributed to the Linux kernel starts breaking the kernel build because you don't maintain it anymore (and nobody wants to)? Linus throws it under the bus (rightly so).

In the charity work that would translate to you offering your expertise to build something and when you don't have time or don't feel like the software/thing you contributed is cutting edge anymore.. then you quit. The nonprofit's "Linus" now has to decide what to do with your not-so-shiny system now that nobody knows how to maintain it and, to make it worse, a nonprofit is not a project like the Linux kernel with thousands of contributors, so it might be the system you contributed is now really critical and they can't throw it under the bus like Linus would do.

So that's one side of why nonprofits sometimes say no and you have to prove your way, not only to show your are capable (most volunteers really are) but that you are reliable and committed.

Of course each nonprofit will be in a different situation so even though they might perceive you as not reliable enough, they still think they might be able with you being gone one day so they say OK.

The politics side of business you don't like.. it doesn't exist because someone decide to call that thing a "company" or a "corporation".. it exists because the beings creating them are humans. It just so happens nonprofits are also run by humans.

Natural gas is often cited as a bridge to more renewable energy.

The thing about renewable energy like wind and solar is that it has sudden variability. To satisfy your needs with it, you need some other form of energy that can be ramped up and down just as quickly as a counterbalance. The obvious candidate would be batteries, but we do not have battery systems large enough to supply the grid for minutes at a time. (People are working on this. But we do not currently have it.)

This is where natural gas comes in. It produces lots of energy. And you can ramp energy production up and down very efficiently, almost instantaneously.

By contrast compare something like nuclear power. A nuclear power plant is basically a huge steam engine with the water heated by radioactivity. To start generating power you bring the water to a boil. To stop you let it cool down. But big tanks of water do not heat up or slow down fast - you need hours. Thus you can supply a grid from nuclear, but you can't counterbalance nuclear and renewables.

Therefore the common vision is that we move from a largely coal base to a mixed natural gas/renewable base, and then to a renewable/battery base. So natural gas is seen as a bridge to an all renewable future.
IDEA shouldn't be too foreign to you, and I'm pretty sure the clojure plugin runs in the free community edition.
At that point you may as well just take a laptop. The only real advantage I can see might be cost saving, but this is probably fairly negligible.
> in the sense that you don't see a lot of people who put that much into design and seem to enjoy it but still demand to handle all the programming themselves.

Except in indie games all over the place, right? Zeboyd, Spiderweb Software, loads of small developers do exactly this. I do it. I don't want other programmers for something I can do myself because I don't need to share my project with them. It's mine. It's part of me. Bringing more people in lessens its meaning to me.

(I wouldn't contract anything at all if I could do music and art to the level I deem required.)

Whatever gave you the notion that this is engineering? They're not frigging engineers. They're artists.
This is what I thought of. Incredible stunts.
Feedback: IMAP and POP3 would let everyone continue to use the native apps that they know and love for their UX. The web sucks for apps. It just does. Making robust dedicated native apps for each major platform would be a real differentiator.

Yeah, I think that's a fair point if you're talking only about a development environment.
It wouldn't even have to be technically true. If enough anecdotal evidence "leaked" you could get a lot of people to accept the idea and behave accordingly. It's also a classic move by tyrannical authority.... get the people to believe that the authority is omnipotent and resistance is futile.
The price is simply too high for something that seems still too half-baked.

I know that what is 'promised' for 600-800 dollars is great but they should have proposed this phone with more solid specs. An actual demo phone would have been nice to see. I also think it would help to have more of an idea of how powerful the not-yet-named processor that I'd get next year will perform versus a trend of the Edge's current competition's processor power growth.

Finally, to me, it seems easier to add the ability to make phone calls to my favorite laptop/netbook/tablet than it would be to constrict my computer usage capabilities to an smartphone on steriods performance level.

Using cellphone metadata for good: identifying emergency situations
Everyone,

if you don't have time to read the book, do read
the sections with 'design' in their title. Compare
with Josh Bloch's apologia for the Java API and then
ponder why HtDP[2e] preps readers for OOP anyway. I
will try to clarify in HtDComponents (forthcoming,
eventually, if I live long enough) and HtDSystems
(ditto).

I chose small languages -- rejecting powerful Racket
features such as define-datatype and pattern matching --
precisely so that the thinking reader and student would
be able to adapt the design recipe to almost any language,
but especially the popular "scripting languages", the
wanna-be Lisps.

Once you program long enough, the design recipe will become
second nature and you won't notice it anymore. Well, until
some "guru" coins a slogan for some aspect of it -- say TDD
or Extreme Programming -- and you think "I have seen this
before, I just can't recall where." Conversely, I think I have
extracted what experienced programmers taught me about programming
and what has been at their and my finger tips for a long time.

If it helps some, great. If others know it all better, fine.

When you view the world as being filled with incompetent idiots, you're seeing the world through your own filter...not anybody elses. Realize that everybody on the face of the planet has their own filter. Human relationships are built upon being able to empathize with others and perhaps glimpse life through their filter.

Not seeing the fork ribbon in the upper-right isn't about someone being "dumb" anymore than you not knowing how to change your own oil, fix a leaky faucet, put in a new electrical outlet or build a fucking house, makes you dumb.

You didn't just "simply point" out the correct answer. You added, "you really can't have looked very hard." which is an assumption on your part; a conclusion you reached based on your filter of the "world seems to be populated by incompetent idiots".

That's true on the macroest of macro scales, but in local climates, water vapor doesn't maintain a steady state. Otherwise every climate would be relatively green. In any case, if it's really so much better to capture methane and burn it for fuel than let it escape, then we should be forcing natural gas companies to figure out how to capture melting methane clathrates instead of taking them out of ground wells where they're relatively stable.

I'm in the crowdfunding business, so I feel strange saying this, but I'm really turned off by this model of 'pay us in advance for developing a product that hasn't been market tested or validated,' especially when asking for a sum as large as is $100,000.

What happened to building something and selling it?

According to the campaign page, the need is so great because:

"We're asking for a lot of money, so of course you should know why. $100.000 means paying two people $4166 a month for a year, including all taxes, insurance and other fees."

I suppose people get what they pay for, but I find it insulting to ask me to pay your salary for a year so that you can avoid risk.

If you were truly concerned about online privacy, you'd build it anyway. So is privacy the mission, or the pitch?

While I didn't attend this talk, someone mentioned that there was a talk at Defcon where 3g networks were being sniffed.

https://www.defcon.org/html/defcon-21/dc-21-speakers.html
Do-It-Yourself Cellular IDS
"For less than $500, you can build your own cellular intrusion detection system to detect malicious activity through your own local femtocell. Our team will show how we leveraged root access on a femtocell, reverse engineered the activation process, and turned it into a proof-of-concept cellular network intrusion monitoring system.

We leveraged commercial Home Node-Bs (""femtocells"") to create a 3G cellular network sniffer without needing to reimplement the UMTS or CDMA2000 protocol stacks. Inside a Faraday cage, we connected smartphones to modified femtocells running Linux distributions and redirected traffic to a Snort instance. Then we captured traffic from infected phones and showed how Snort was able to detect and alert upon malicious traffic. We also wrote our own CDMA protocol dissector in order to better analyze CDMA traffic."
Well, as I see it... suppose you can collect the data regardless of whether you consider it open or proprietary. Under the "open" model, you get the advantage of (at least from some perspectives) doing the right thing by the community. The downside for you is that emerging competitors can take your data as a starting point rather than needing to go through the effort of building their own data. If you choose to keep the data proprietary, it could be one of your competitive advantages.
