This plot compares an inferred model to the instrumental record. Here is the study expressed in the words of Real Climate:
http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2013/09/paleoc...

Over the last decades, numerous researchers have
painstakingly collected, analyzed, dated, and calibrated
many data series that allow us to reconstruct climate
before the age of direct measurements. Such data come e.g.
from sediment drilling in the deep sea, from corals, ice
cores and other sources. Shaun Marcott and colleagues for
the first time assembled 73 such data sets from around the
world into a global temperature reconstruction for the
Holocene, published in Science. Or strictly speaking, many
such reconstructions: they have tried about twenty
different averaging methods and also carried out 1,000
Monte Carlo simulations with random errors added to the
dating of the individual data series to demonstrate the
robustness of their results.

Marcott et al.'s graphic states that their model reflects historical temperatures so accurately that it can measure the average temperature of the entire globe continuously back to 8000 years ago, to within a small fraction of 1 degree Celsius (i.e. the 1-sigma error bars). That is simply an extraordinary claim given:

1) The "divergence problem". The lack of correlation between model inputs like tree rings and the instrumental record over the last few decades is acknowledged by all; climate scientists generally state that it is due to anthropogenic factors, arguably assuming the consequent.

2) Serious climate model prediction failures over the past 10 year period, as acknowledged in Nature:

http://www.nature.com/news/climate-change-the-forecast-for-2...

In other words, key model inputs used in climate reconstructions do not strongly correlate with the instrumental record over the last 30-40 years ("the divergence problem") and climate models have so far had a poor track record over the last 15 years, with average temperatures winding up below the envelope of model predictions. These predictive failures in the datasets we can check bode ill for the prospect of hindcasting global average temperatures to within 1 degree more than 8000 years ago.
It provably can't be broken unless quantum mechanics is wrong. And all cryptographic protocols are potentially insecure if you introduce new physics.

But we are doing that.

Hubble was started and launched before adaptive optics. That's revolutionized ground-based telescopes. The newest generation of extremely large telescopes, like the Giant Magellan Telescope, will have better angular resolution of Hubble, in visible light.

Of course, the relevant comparison should be to the James Webb Space Telescope, but it's estimated cost of $9 billion is rather a lot higher than the $800 million for the GMT.

I'm emphatically not saying that we shouldn't have space telescopes. There's no way to have a ground-based X-ray telescope, as an obvious example.

I'm only pointing out that the evidence is that land-based telescopes are not, broadly speaking, "too limited" to do new science.

the new ui has no modal popups. Its either a new page or the ui element slides from up , down or sides. It makes an interesting redesign.

17:1 Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my
prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.

17:2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes
behold the things that are equal.

17:3 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night;
thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my
mouth shall not transgress.

I recently had to setup a few mailchimp campaigns for a client and so found myself using the new UI quite a lot. Their new design has quite a lot of UI bugs and things that make no sense. Its all fixable with feedback, but it would've been nice if they'd beta tested this design first. It feels rushed.
Perhaps this is a "feature" and not a bug. News like this just makes me want to go back to using "dumb" phones. adjusts tin-foil hat Apple knows what they're doing.
But there's no such thing as instruction buttons. It's not like software is a physical thing where you can't easily change where buttons point to. What makes more sense to your mom: that the huge button labeled "Create a new list" teleports the user to the "Create a new list"-page, or that it shows the user where to actually click to start the confusing road towards the "Create a new list"-page?

You say normal people don't mind clicking. I say you don't have much experience with normal people. Any time you add an extra step in your funnel, you'll have a higher drop rate.
Totally off-topic, but that looks a lot like Haskell, what did you do to make ghci have such handy calculator functionality? (I can't find secs in Hoogle)
iOS 7.0.1 shipped yesterday.
This is exactly what happened to me.

I thought it more of bad UI and lack of attention on my part. Everyone in my address book got an Invite.

LinkedIn need to address this but I think this lawsuit over-states the issue (still need to examine it in full but first impression)
Yep, although it's still 10 times better than their old interface.

It's been a couple of months now I think (?) since the redesign and if they had been proactive about it, most of these should have been fixed already. It makes me believe that they're not using usability testing, which makes no sense for a company their size. Or maybe they do, and that really is the unintuitive outcome their tests have shown to be the least confusing to users. Would be hard to believe, though...
Well tedunangst's point, which is worth considering, is that the customers who hang around will bypass the whole raised price scheme by ordering an actual meal and getting the discounted price.

But that's still avoidable by having the discount structured so that you just can't get a Turkish coffee without paying some minimum amount, determined by trial and error to make it nonviable for retirees to purchase and then sit around all day.

With that scheme, however, it becomes more complicated to work out what price makes it worth it for them to actually just sit around, because you also have to factor in the cost of the food they're wasting.
(1) The reality is you probably don't understand all the implications of the RSA problem as well as you think you do either.

(2) "You" are just as likely to screw up RSA; the point is, "you" shouldn't be implementing cryptography directly at all, but rather using a well-vetted library. Both RSA and ECC have many viable free options for that.

(3) The reason RSA is going away and ECC is replacing it is that RSA is that RSA at acceptable levels of performance is getting too weak, and RSA at acceptable levels of security is too slow for mass deployment.

(4) It's hard to take "churn" seriously when change happens once over the course of 15 years.

(5) There is no cabal of consultants who get rich selling cryptosystem designs; for instance, for the most part, browser cryptography, email cryptography, and web site cryptography aren't implemented by consultants at all. (If you're wondering: we're not that kind of consultancy.)
Any chance it might be rewritten in C ? The dependence on D makes it more niche than it would be otherwise.
The plot does seem too precise to take seriously IMO, although I am an engineer, and not a climate scientist.

I don't think there's anything you can really do but jump through their hoops.

Although, to spare yourself future problems, you could register nepalesefreedns.net and have people point nameservers for their .np domains to nsX.nepalesefreedns.net. Set up XName[1] or a similar panel for it.

That way you will only have to endure the pain once. That is, until the registry breaks something else.

America's ghost towns were once thriving and now are deserted. China's ghost cities are relatively new and have never thrived before; they are just symptoms of a huge real estate bubble.

China overbuilds way too much, even in thriving cities like Shanghai and Beijing will you find almost completely deserted shopping malls.
I guess the official statement from Apple that they're working on the lock screen bugs is a case of "Apple never acknowledging a problem with their platform"? I guess they don't have a security-announce list where they post many bugs a month[1]. I guess the message to go along with iOS 7 that lists a bunch of security researchers who disclosed bugs to apple shows their awful relationship with developers[2]. What a bunch of FUD.

You have clearly never been to Nepal.
I've lived there for over three years. Any position that has any form of power will be abused. Nothing happens when you go through the painstakingly complex process of doing things by the book for one reason: you are being blackmailed. You either have to know somebody or pay the price - which can of course be quite steep if there's a monopoly situation as we have here.

"the 10 months the court considered appropriate"

That's .... that's ... gob-smacking!

According to http://www.mathewsdinsdale.com/departing-employees-ordered-t... :

> After 295 days of hearing, the trial judge found that the defendants had been integral in managing projects and designing the company’s core technology products which formed the backbone of the company. The Court found that these individuals were part of senior management and were crucial to the direction and guidance of the company and as such owed fiduciary duties to GasTOPS. The Court further held that the two weeks of notice of resignation provided by each of the defendants was wholly inadequate, and that each of the defendants were fully aware that their departures would leave GasTOPS unable to fulfill its existing contracts, or continue to pursue the business opportunities it had been cultivating. ...

> On appeal, the Court of Appeal held that the 10-year disgorgement period was reasonable, given the small and highly specialized market, the nature of the confidential and technical information that had been misappropriated and used, and the product that was created and marketed using this information. The Court of Appeal was also influenced by the fact that GasTOPS was an industry leader in a market that only contained a small number of very large customers. Accordingly, it was reasonable to conclude that it would take approximately 10 years for the damage caused to dissipate.

> Although the damage award in this case was extremely large, the Court noted that the breach of fiduciary duties owed in this case were particularly egregious.

Nope. Still doesn't seem justified to me.
I can pretty much promise I'll never use Trello again.

.hu: £17.49
.ro: £17.49
From what I have gathered they have not managed the growth hiring people below the original level. A company with 12000 employes should be unmanageable because of bureaucracy anyway. After some point new people only slow you down.
Hope the old core is still there and something will finally come out of this.

The farmers can't afford it, who can? China also has to reform its hukou system before these cities can really become viable communities; for a foreign kid having fun, whatever, but what if you had a family to worry about...medical care, schooling, and other social welfares become very important.
Yes, it was OK to take _some_, but why did the rich take _more_?
Seems in Canada that it depends on one's position in the company.

http://www.canadianlawyermag.com/4132/notice-is-a-two-way-st... points out that

> In Aquafor v. Whyte, Dainty, and Calder, the court held the four and five weeks’ notice provided by two departing fiduciary employees was sufficient

But that wasn't a blanket decision. Had Aquafor been able to show the judge that that they needed "12-18 months" (!) notice, then it probably would have had a different result.
Hard to believe they couldn't have made a go of this.

The 'WebMonkey' brand has a decent amount of cred - why doesn't Wired try to transition it into a proven model, like the Envato 'Tuts' sites?

I guess if they've already tried to resurrect it several times (as the article states) and still couldn't pull it off, I must be missing something.

Still, seems a shame...
Intel's Atom line has been announced circa the time of the original iPhone. Should I say more?
Not surprised at Nintendo's good showing. I remember noting that the older DSi felt incredibly responsive when using its stylus to draw. The several drawing apps I've tried on iOS haven't the same impression that your input is immediately laying down ink.
Could you define how "ARM" would lose, given that "ARM" is an ISA which has different licensing levels and is implemented by multiple companies (including some that are larger than Intel - Samsung, Qualcomm, Apple).
Is Google Wrecking Our Memory? Nope. It’s much, much weirder than that.
May be because it is a bug not vulnerability? Also, if someone with malice intent can get physical access to your phone then may be you will have much more to worry about?
Just because its proven to be not broken doesn't mean you can't attack the way its implemented. They exploit the error rate in the system and this allows them to break the encryption. See http://www.technologyreview.com/view/418968/commercial-quant... for more information.
Being a Nepali citizen, you know that the only way to get people in powerful positions to do what they are supposed to do without paying, is to retaliate the blackmail. In this case I hope you can get an International organization to look at this. If not, perhaps you could get this to the attention of some hacktivists.
I get the same thing.
It seems to be because "content.js" is lacking a comma in some of the elements making it invalid JSON.
Usability testing is hard to get right. If you have 2 bad ideas, all it will show you is which is the least bad. They probably A/B tested this two-step layout with a text-only prompt and it did better.
They do. When they don't have access to better tools for one reason or another. This is not my brother's case though - he simply found the iPad to be a superior solution to the problem.
I get the instructional intent -- give a person a fishing net, not fish. But it's a huge amount of real estate. Even Clippy didn't demand this much space.

In Europe and much of America, any urban area with > 50k is often called a city. Heck, even around 10k could be called a city under certain circumstances.

The properties of concern are more like satellite cities. Often in crappy remote locations outside the original city's outer ring road.

> Those will get filled with people within about two years. It works about thise way:

Someone told me it would be like this 3 years ago for a project that is still pretty much empty..., I assume Anhui or Hubei is similar. There is just no industry and jobs around many of these projects to support them.

> All these stories about "Chinas empty buildings" are largely bullshit. At least on the east coast.

The coast has already been developed, but go inland just a bit into Hefei or Jiangxi...its bullshit to think that these projects are anything other than the result of a bubble.
Porting a GPL driver to BSD helps only a few people (those who have the particular hardware) to the detriment of every contributor and every consumer of the code (like Cisco, Juniper and Apple).

Speaking as someone who regularly sketches on his iPad, this is just wrong. You want to know what sucks for graphics work?

Really? Any and all lockscreen bypass go straight to mainstream tech outlets. There have been plenty for Android. The real question is why does Apple have this problem with seemingly every major release? This is not a remote exploit and should be publicly shown.

Beyond that there are many that feel if Apple doesn't want to participate in having a more responsive approach towards security why should people go out of their way to play nice with them? Give and take, Apple has played out the "we don't respond unless it's in the interest of saving public face or potential sales losses" far too long. Being overly secretive is a bad thing today, especially with regard to consumers expectation of going to bat for them when it makes sense. They've continually lost face with me (in this particular regard) over the years in their elitist stance. It's of their own doing and approach. And it's completely in their control to change.

The international version or the US (LTE) variant?

I have the Verizon SGS3 (albeit running CyanogenMod) and the responsiveness is very good. TouchWiz (the Samsung Android overlay) probably adds some latency and CyanogenMod uses a newer kernel (3.4.xx vs 3.0.xx) so that might also contribute to the difference...
ik ben youssra en ik ben namelijk opzoek naar info. over logica omdat ik later zo iets wil worden en ik wil er meer ovr weten
> and we have done more work on latency on some devices than on others.

Or, conversely, they had to work harder on their Android app to bring latency down to that of the iOS app. Just not enough information given to know.
Temperature chart for the last 425,000 years: http://ctdonath.blogspot.com/2012/02/global-climate-change-i...
It's 5 feet across, I expect that there are more than one lighting elements.
I lived in Xi'an for awhile which is considered a "small" city of over 8 million people. It doesn't take long to see the empty buildings. In less than 30 minutes, there's entire areas of emptiness. It's sad and pretty amazing.

As someone else mentioned, the reason they are empty is because they're too expensive to move to and there's zero opportunity there. Many of them are expensive even by US standards for what you get. They are purposely made to be expensive and ghost town like.
There seem to have been several lock screen bypass bugs over the years. Given that, you'd think they'd give it a hammering and find this stuff.

EDIT: Reading on I see that if stored at cold temperatures it can last a lot longer.

Yes, though it seems they need to be stable, constant temperatures too. The Denisovans (human related species, ancestors of some of us) are known entirely from 41,000 year old DNA from a cave in Siberia, and the sequence recovered is basically the full genome - as good as for living humans and a lot better than any found for Neanderthals so far.

* NSA topics are heavy on computer security issues and legal issues.

* I'm professionally involved in computer security, like you, and have an an amateur interest in the law (I'm considering law school at some point).

* Message board nerds have a lot of weird, wrong beliefs about computer security and the law.

There is a political difference between me and HN: I'm not an anarcho-capitalist (that silly "world's smallest political test" thingy puts me dead center in "left liberal"). But politics have little to do with where I end up on the NSA threads; it's things like not understanding (or really, having even skimmed) NIST crypto standards, or not taking the time to understand what the 4th Amendment means. The things that get me into "trouble" here have more to do with taking the time to actually read primary sources than anything else.

We probably disagree about NSA a lot less than you think we do.
I only observed that America and China both arrived at the same end result independently - ghost cities. I am not saying that they followed the same approaches, or took the same time.
