And your parent post talked nothing about changing how humans use the resources of this earth. He was pointing that if you look at data a certain way, you can use it to fit conclusions that may be incorrect.

He was just making the point that you need to have context when looking at data. Framing data to prove your point doesn't make your point correct (though, it doesn't make it incorrect either). Weather at a macro level is extremely complicated. Knowing if we understand all the variables involved is a very difficult task.

Be careful to the conclusions you jump to on such a small data set. Even 1000 years of perfect weather data when a planet that is billions of years old may not be as helpful as one would hope.

It's a move in a large game of chess. Just because your opponent will counter your movement, doesn't mean you shouldn't make a move. This is a viable strategy. The earlier it is, the more likely you have resources to counter a movement. This is an option now and with sound strategy could be used in various scenarios.

The NSA is successful now because of computational power and obscurity. They operate in the dark and as a result get away with a lot. But operational funds that feed their workers that work for them on all levels come from the people. Bureaucracy is acting as levels of abstraction preventing the people from shutting them down by denial of resources. The further you are able to cut down the bureaucracy and make it apparent that the NSA needs money from the people to operate, the more likely you are to engage the american people into saying 'no'.

So, should they need to spend money on energy, they will have to find a means to get it, and the more you block them, the higher the price gets. At some point, if the campaign is successful, they will have to appeal to the people for money, i.e. some tax to do it. Maybe it will be defense spending, or maybe it will be energy tax. But the clearer it becomes an issue of money, the more obvious what the move is, and can thus be countered into a game finishing move.
My understanding is the Provo site uses an open loop system. I'm not aware of any data center scale closed loop cooling systems.
>There is probably even a team at the NSA whose sole purpose is parallel construction!

There is, this was covered in the initial release regarding Parallel construction.

It's always interesting to me that while American tech companies are getting grilled and attempting to out PR each other with the recent releases of more detailed (three year old) reporting information, things like parallel construction and the fact that Israeli intelligence agencies have direct access to raw / un-minimized domestic wiretapping data straight off the Narus devices that capture it
Heat of vaporisation of water is tremendous, and the amount of cooling you gain by allowing for evaporation is huge. You can contain the evaporative cycle, but that takes a lot more engineering. As with anything, it's a cost/benefit question.
AMD has been completely rewriting the drivers as free software. The 2d performance of the in-kernel drivers is now better than the proprietary driver for southern islands(HD7000). The 3d performance of the free driver is at about 50-70% of the proprietary for SI with linux 3.13, according to phoronix. The latest cards C.Islands use the same drivers as SI so the performance should be similar.

I live up in the Yukon and drove into Snag in the fall looking for Moose.

The history of the old abandoned town there is really cool, as were the Northern lights. We spent a couple of days wandering around all the old buildings, etc.

This year up on the Dempster for Caribou hunting, I saw -45C, the coldest I've seen yet. We were outside for the whole day snowshoeing around, it was spectacularly beautiful.

Lots of my friends up here have seen -55C.
People often sneer at Fortran, but there's a lot that can be done with it in scientific computing, including very performant GPGPU computing. That being said, the dream of having a matlab like prototyping environment directly result in production level HPC code is probably never going to be realised in Fortran - maybe Julia will get there? All I can say is that the tooling needs to be top notch for that to happen and the performance can't just be in the order of magnitude of Fortran/C - it needs to be within 20% or so. Once you run software on clusters that cost millions, programmer time becomes rather cheap, especially in academic settings.
For what it's worth, BrightScript is pretty much just Visual Basic. It did take me a bit to get used to their various 'screens' and events.

Shouldn't OffNow go further and propose legislation that impacts the telcos and all other companies within its borders that co-operate with the NSA without putting up a fight? Take AT&T for example. Near as I can tell, it has been one of the worst offenders and greatest facilitators. For a state to take direct action against the interstate business model of AT&T and other telcos, provides a great economic incentive for AT&T to actively fight back against mass surveillance in the form of challenging NSLs and lobbying against increases in surveillance state powers.

If we want to promote a political environment with greater states rights, you need to promote a legal framework where most of our goods and services are provided by organizations that cannot easily grow to be larger than a state because the cost of being interstate presents so many transactional costs to make it less competitive.

This is a ignorant response. The nature of climate change isn't the empirical data; that's simply validation of the various scientific models of the earths climate. To date our models have been fairly accurate and we've been predicting this as far back as the 1800's.

I think the biggest assumption of the article is that Game of Thrones has an equal sized viewing audience to House of Cards. That is simply not the case. While Netflix is in fact growing their numbers at a rather nice rate, it still doesn't compare to the number of individuals that have HBO available to them with their local cable providers.

Also, what is the proportion of XERQ users that are also Netflix subscribers? That could be a telling metric as well.

I could be way off, but I have a funny suspicion that the numbers are rather different.
I would say yes, given that some bytecode instruction sets make a CISC processor look like a RISC one.
I see someone already mentioned Mr Money Mustache, which is great. But for really getting to "independently poor" you can't beat Early Retirement Extreme: http://earlyretirementextreme.com/

Similar idea, but he got his living expenses down to something under $10k/year (initially, I think they've risen a bit since) so that he could retire a lot earlier. At various points he talks a lot about how having the skills to support yourself is worth more than having money to buy things, a topic briefly touched on in the linked article.

I just wish his English was a little more grammatical and properly spellchecked, but I guess you can't have everything. :)
During the housing bubble, common sense (or at least the conventional wisdom) was that "real estate prices only go up" and "buy now or be priced out forever"

You didn't let it warm up?

In the Yukon, it's critical you let your car warm up. A block heater, battery blanket and oil pan heater are all needed, but they're only heating the actual engine block.

Think about how cold the oil in the transmission and diffs are.. let alone everything else.

You also want to drive extremely smoothly and slowly for the first ~5 mins to let everything circulate and slowly warm up to running temp - sudden moves or turns tears apart CV joints, and destroys other rubber seals.
I am impressed that Digg has gone through no less than 2 facelifts since v4.
Random crazy idea alert:

This is actually close to the temperature to sublimate CO2. I'm curious why we couldn't lower the temperature a little more and pull carbon out of the air? Has anyone investigated that?

Maybe I should buy some land there and start making dry ice and selling carbon offsets?

> What is the worst thing that happens if we try to address global warming, human caused or not?

It costs money. And why should we? If humans are really able to have a significant impact on the climate, we should try to warm the planet. I would personally prefer about 3 C warmer climate (central europe).

> Stop it.

No, you stop being so fucking patronizing.
I think the (2) has an unnecessarily biased phrasing. The capacity to deal with regulation, whether that regulation is good, bad, or otherwise at the macro level, is just one of the many economics of scale that can be harnessed by large companies. Because of (1), regulation is inevitable, and once you have almost any regulation at all, a competitive benefit accrues to larger companies, who can consolidate the regulatory compliance function in a way smaller companies cannot.

This is a perspective that is often overlooked on HN, understandably, but the fact is that startups are in many ways extremely inefficient businesses. Most business functions, from accounting to training to regulatory compliance, simply don't scale down very well, for reasons that have nothing to do with politics.

This isn't about my preferences. The whole point is that only an arrogant asshole would claim their preferences are the only rational ones.

As another example within GPS, Waze used to give truly horrendous routes, as it would often fail to understand the difference between overpasses and intersections. A bunch of early adopters liked the promise of Waze and helped crowd-source the fixes, so that now Waze is a very good navigator.

By the OP's logic, the early adopters who helped make Waze great were irrational, because it truly was worse for quite a long time.

That said, I get it, you're just here to snark at strangers. After all, if you'd had even a hint of an interest in a real conversation you would've realized I never stated that any set of attributes was better than any other, nor that my interpretation of attribute definitions was the only valid one.

Anyway, thanks for the snarky bullshit and have a nice day.

At least this story didn't devolve into dismissive conversation about irrelevancies, like the Snowden interview story. In that thread, discussants invented a new notion of "journalistic equivalence" under which mass media news coverage of remarks by Snowden that officials were calling for his demise was supposed to be somehow equivalent to substantive coverage of the main points of the interview. The "proof" of this was the so-called "Reddit takedown."

I think the problem is that I've made it seem like a strict rule in the article; "You must disable SSH or everything will go wrong!!!". It's really just about quickly highlighting what needs automating. Like you say, sometimes you just want to diagnose your problems manually, and that's fine, re-enable SSH and dive in. But if you're constantly fixing issues by SSHing in and running commands, that's probably something you can try to automate.

Personally I always had a bad habit of cheating with my automation. I would automate as much as I could, and then just SSH in to fix one little thing now and then. I disabled SSH to force myself to stop cheating, and it worked well for me, so I wanted to share the idea.

Of course, there's always going to be cases where it's simply not feasible to disable it completely. It depends on your application. The ones I've worked on aren't massively complex, so the automation is simpler. I can certainly see how not having SSH access for larger complex systems could become more of a hindrance.

"If I took ten people off the street, in San Francisco
itself, and asked them who made an iPhone app called
"Paper" a majority would probably already tell me
Facebook."

Actually I think the majority would say "I don't know". Facebook Paper was released a few days ago, so how could the majority of people already know that Facebook makes it.

Furthermore, Facebook also has an app called Messenger and Camera•. They've been around awhile and I'd be surprised if you surveyed people that they would be able to tell you that Facebook makes either. For both, I would expect people to tell you that those are actually the generic name for any phone's build in messenging app and camera app, respectively.

TBH, I really which we'd move to a trademark system that makes all dictionary words untrademarkable. You should have to come up with an original name if you want protection and if you want the generic name you should be able to use it knowing full well that you will have no protection when doing so. Companies should not just be allowed to highjack single words like Paper, Camera, Messenger, Candy, Saga, etc. etc. etc.
Shoot, I didn't know. Someone should tell the climate scientists.
That's the reason to be excited about the SDK release, but honestly, regardless of the number of apps even available, I just don't use that many services that I want to stream to my TV.
