Notice how I said US instead of World. That was done on purpose.

>Long or short term? Electrical vehicles do not care where the power comes from.

Long term: if the state I lived in switched to 50% usage of EVs overnight. How much more Green House emissions would be generated by the power plants? Would it be an overall decrease of GH gasses for my state? I doubt the hydro power is going to help that much.

>If it is from fossil fuels, it is kinda obvious. It is apparently possible to sequester CO2 from the process of extracting hydrogen from natural gas, but I have no idea if it is even required by regulations, or economically viable.

Interesting I didnt realize we had to use natural gasses to get H. Wow even Helium is produced from Natural gas.

Internet protocols have been used by ham radio operators for decades. 44/8 was allocated to amateur packet radio in the 1970s. And as I alluded to in my comment, the same WiFi you probably used to post your comment is also frequently used under Part 97 (amateur radio) rules.

This site has a solution:

1. Reset your Apple ID password and do not log back in on your device(s)

2. Send a text to 48369 with the word STOP

It won’t happen immediately but over a 12-hour period, you should start receiving texts on your Android device that are sent from iPhone users.

It's difficult to justify calling WordPress bloated when it's just some 200k lines of code and most theme/plugin files are only a couple dozen to hundreds themselves. Compare that to the kinds of frameworks people recommend for starting modern PHP projects yourself, and WordPress is tiny. Symfony for example is 900k lines of code before you've even written "Hello World". Other CMS's are, too, typically much larger than WordPress (e.g. Drupal Core is over 5 times larger).
It's bad for the ULA. The title is a bit misleading, they are banning exports of RD-180s that will be used for military missions, not just sales of RD-180s to the military itself. Therefore the ULA can still buy RD-180s, but they cannot then use those engines on missions with military payloads. If this restriction stays in place for long, it is fairly bad news for the ULA.
I had this same issue. Apple wouldn't help me, unfortunately. If I recall correctly, I had to disassociate iMessage from my AppleID completely, which seems to have worked. Although I still can't be sure.

I have a weird feeling the messages still aren't going through and a lot of my friends think I'm being an asshole.

My local newspapers report of this case mentions that the reason the plaintiff wanted the references removed was because the auction publicized the fact that he had debts at the time which was no longer the case. I would guess there are situations where such facts would be a hindrance in later life when easily surfaced through Google.
Seems pretty bad for ULA, which is Boeing and Lockheed Martin, but they claim they have enough rocket boosters to fulfill the next two years of their launch commitments. They have contractual obligations further out than that, but SpaceX is arguing the validity of at least one of those contracts.
Sounds like it would be easier to find new friends.

Seriously though, iMessage should have some sort of interoperability on other devices, even if its just a web interface you can log into to make configuration changes, including the deletion/deactivation of an account associated with a mobile phone number.

Edit: Or even monitoring iPhones associated with a number and disabling iMessage if said phone is no longer online with that number? Could possibly even forward unread messages, etc.
For a country with financial difficulties, it sure is taking some odd steps. Write-off North Korea's debt, now cancel out million/billion dollar sales to the U.S. for rockets. I guess they don't want us to build any more fighter jets before NATO attacks. ;)

Most hydrogen vehicles (of which there aren't really any you can buy) have the same 200-250 mile range of a Model S.
Thanks for the data.

More number crunching is required however. See, we stopped producing all gasoline vehicles today, based on your source, it would take 11.4 years in average for the fleet to be replaced, so it would be an obvious win.

But we are not doing that. As this whole EV vehicle discussion proves, it is very difficult to replace the fleet. And the infrastructure.
The share of wind and solar increases every year: http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly/pdf/sec7_5.pdf

A diesel vehicle has a service life of at least 200K miles; assuming 12K/miles a year, you're looking at ~16 years of burning petrol.

How much cleaner is the electric grid going to be over the next 16 years as coal plants are shut down due to being unable to meet new emissions guidelines? Electric vehicles future proof the energy required for mobility.

Thanks! Great to hear it from the Horse's Mouth. I am going to watch that Ted talk.
I assume you argue: Someone can accept some strange stuff in their religion -- e.g. that the supreme being and creator of the universe really, really cares about details of financing and diet for a species in a galaxy far away -- but not other stuff, like e.g. slavery and rules for different sexual subgroups (women, homosexuals) of the species?

I also know some muslims. Without witnesses many are about as religious as I am, but most can't do that in public. At an absolute minimum they'd get social problems (ostracism) if they came out of the closet. In worst case, physical danger. Often even their relatives would get problems.

Edit: To give an example [After consideration, I removed this. Sorry, but I can't break confidence and risk that someone identifies my friends -- see previous paragraph. But do Google "enemy property act" for an interesting read, re Bangladesh.]

My original point was that it is harder for Muslims to just throw away the crazy/inhumane parts of their eternal Truths, since they've got better sources than a set of mutually contradictory books/testaments. So the extreme stuff tends to get back into circulation -- see the social control etc from the 2nd paragraph why that is hard to stop, there is a pressure to be "good" (there is some form of race to the bottom of being holier than thou).

The end result is that it is hard to take your suggested third option.

Was this clear enough?

And your last message to me -- right back at ya...
You say you have experience writing high quality code, what frameworks and tools did you use in your code projects? It is likely that a lot of those frameworks you used and libraries you imported for your project are themselves open source projects in need of contributors, and you have experience using them, so you would be a good candidate to contribute to them as well.

For example, since I write Rails and Django apps, the first place I'd look to contribute would be on a popular open source plugin/gem/app for Rails or Django that I use in my projects.
The downsides of hydrogen are that it's less efficient than batteries, it's considerably more expensive than electricity (because it's less efficient, and because you have to pay for additional infrastructure to produce, distribute, and store it), and it's generally not available for purchase.

Give me a Tesla and I can charge it anywhere there's electricity. If there's no dedicated charging station, then I can still charge it from a regular wall socket, albeit slowly. There are also a ton of charging stations around here.

Give me a fuel cell vehicle and I can't refuel it anywhere near here. According to the Department of Energy, there are 11 public hydrogen filling stations in the US:

http://www.afdc.energy.gov/fuels/hydrogen_locations.html

You list "no charging stations" as a con for batteries, but it's really not bad at all, and the hydrogen situation is vastly worse, and I don't see it getting better with any kind of speed.
What is interesting to me always is that my experience trying to send iMessages to people is usually the opposite: if someone's phone runs out of batteries or they start a phone call (on CDMA, which can't do voice and data simultaneously) I nearly instantly am forced to send them text messages. I also have found the "Delivered" notices very reliable: AFAIK they require a device to actually receive the message. Note however that it is "a device": if you have iMessage associated with another random device, it might be receiving your messages for you; I would be very interested in knowing if these people cataloged all devices they have from Apple (including Macs) and logged out of all of them. (It could, of course, just be a bug; but it at least doesn't seem to be some fundamental aspect of the design that it permanently hijacks messages.)
Laws are not binary. A judge would decide whether someone could be considered famous in the context of the case.
Currently they do, they might not in the future. The best commercially available battery tech requires lithium, it might not in the future.
Apparently you can shake a Kinect to make its field of view overlap with other kinects. More kinetics would make this already mind-blowing demo even more mind blowing, and allow more people in the room (and perhaps open up cross calibration)

I'm using it in industry right now, and my biggest complaint would be along the lines of "it's sold out". I'm very worried that Odersky's talk of "simplifying" the type system will mean removing features that I use and depend on (in my real, revenue-generating applications).
Unfortunately I'm in the same boat right now. Tried calling them and having the number removed, etc...

Been going on like this for over a month.
Well that is great news! Thanks for letting me know.

I briefly switched from an iOS phone to an Nexus 5 and had the same issue. For other reasons, I switched back. A colleague of mine liked the Nexus a lot and made the switch after I did. He has been fighting this for months. Everything works properly for a while. Sometimes, several weeks will go by. Then, out of the blue, my phone tries to send the message to him as an iMessage. It's bizarre and frustrating.

I'm curious to see how Scala matures. Right now the community is really into the FP side. So much so that they want to make everything look like Haskell. So we've got operators and types and nomenclature that doesn't make sense to the average developer. So the developers could mature/advance/become-academic or they could take the good parts of Scala and treat it as Java++. I, frankly, think the second is better.
It's even worse if you want to keep an iDevice registered for facetime/iMessage use. You can't toggle it on and off on demand.
React is a library, plain and simple. It has literally no opinions on even basic stuff like routing, or how to manage application data.

It takes your data as an input and by some mechanism lays out a visual representation of it defined by your components render methods, being sure to update the visual representation as the data changes. The rest are implementation details.
Umm... batteries are also like... batteries... how surprising... and like hydrogen are chemical forms of energy storage.

As for how long, probably about 6-24 months... it's actually more a question of capital... if you have the capital i can't imagine it's that difficult to scale up the building of hydrogen storage tanks.

Yes, charging faster is important to people... aren't we having a whole net neutrality debate because being able to download a 2 hr movie in 2 hrs and 30 minutes is no where near as good as being able to download a 2 hr movie in 1h 50m.

I'm pretty sure if you could fly some hydrogen from Berlin to New York in the 20s we can figure out how to make bags for hydrogen. (Yes, some may leak... but who cares, it's not like it doesn't just float away when it gets to the top of the atmosphere...?)

I agree, if one can afford to be in a company that gives some freedom about which tools to use.

If we are talking about the typical enterprise, with mega projects, having out-sourcing and off-shoring components, then Java is still the king.

Since a few years I am mostly involved in such type of projects and I see how many of such developers struggle with modern programming concepts.

I had a very similar problem when I drowned my iPhone and switched my SIM to an old Windows Phone 7 I had lying around. If you have your old phone, you can disable iMessage while the SIM is still in it, which apparently works -- but if you don't, you're basically up a creek. I ended up changing the email address on my iCloud account.

It baffles me that online iCloud doesn't have a dashboard for controlling this. Doesn't seem it should be that hard to unlink phone numbers from iMessage.
Antartic glaciers melting passed point of no return
yep. When I first tasted Scala it seemed great, but the having abstractions that leak less (haskell) is something I really appreciate.

And there's something about Scala using traits for everything that rubs me the wrong way.

Stuff like this I still find odd, mixing abstract classes with functions and inheritance.

abstract class IntSeqBuffer extends SeqBuffer {
type U = Int
}
object AbstractTypeTest1 extends App {
def newIntSeqBuf(elem1: Int, elem2: Int): IntSeqBuffer =
new IntSeqBuffer {
type T = List[U]
val element = List(elem1, elem2)
}
val buf = newIntSeqBuf(7, 8)
}

> No charging stations (infrastructure problem)

There are infinitely more electric car charging stations between my house and work than there are hydrogen stations. I understand that it's different in other parts of the country, but in the Seattle area you'd have to really put in some effort to run out before you find a charging station. My only complaint is that aren't enough fast charging stations.
You obviously feel that it's useless, which is debatable but not the issue under discussion, namely that it's a professional barrier to entry which requires extra time or money to get. My point was simply that it's misleading to compare the median incomes for an city to a subset almost entirely comprised of people who've completed both an undergraduate degree and masters program.

You can argue about the merits of the requirement, whether schools of education should change their practices, etc. but until that changes, honesty compels you to compare the median incomes of people with roughly equivalent time invested in their professional skills.

> We probably need to do something to attract more quality science teachers. But, of course, saying that is an insult to current teachers.[2]

You appear determined to misunderstand that comment: it's a question of balance. The next time you hear a politician talk about education, see how many times they say anything positive about teachers versus the negatives – and note the dubious aspect to, say, “hard working” when you know that means “nights and weekends at no extra pay”.

How would you feel if your CEO kept talking about your company is releasing buggy code and we need to hire better programmers and make shipping bug-free code a key part of your pay? And, of course, no department is getting more staff, pay isn't going up in absolute terms, and none of the major obstacles people have been trying to get fixed for years are getting addressed first.

Now consider if it was paired with, say, major investment in a world-class QA operation, internal support resources and developers gaining some influence over deadlines and features. The core program might be the same but how it would be perceived is completely different if it's backed by signs of commitment and doesn't feel like you're being scapegoated.
There was a story posted the HN that was very similar to this semi-recently, in fact I though it was a repost until I saw this was published today. I can't seem to find the previous post, does anyone else remember that/have a link? Thanks!
1st, it's not for political correctness, not one bit. It's that your view is stating that those people are essentially less good at being people than what you are, and need a savior to fix them. That's just not true, regardless of what you believe.

That view was extremely popular in the 40's and 50's, and is also extremely ineffective. It's a true story.

What is effective, instead of indoctrinating 'ghetto people' to your "better" way of life, is providing them with opportunity. Look at areas, schools or neighborhoods than have been effective and successful, regardless of being in a 'ghetto'. There is one common theme; internal hope and prosperity. It doesn't take white culture to fix 'ghetto people'. It takes hope, opportunity, community investment and old fashioned work from those people living there. Without it, all you'll do is drain the youth from these communities, and allow real estate brokers access to swaths of uninhabited city centers.

Your argument is fundamentally wrong, and is incredibly ignorant of education and community development in failing areas. You are arguing that 'those ghetto people' are broken, their culture is broken, and only removing them from their surroundings and supplanting their culture can fix their problems. You're wrong, you're just wrong is all there is to it. That's been proven by history and research - I'm not at home and don't have access to a database, but you're wrong.

I'm not saying that ghettos need to remain for the sake of themselves, that the individuals living there love it, or that the people living in there start even close to the same footing as the rest of the world. I'm saying that the way to fix the issues associated with these areas isn't a white knight swooping in to save the poor colored kids; that.does.not.work. It's for these areas to be empowered through community investment to fix it for themselves.

Do you know the best way to empower a community? Education focused INSIDE of it.

And for Melville: I'm not certain that his upbringing is really all that important. Your argument here is really, really weak (and is an outstanding example of Ad Hominem; what does it matter where he's from?). You're arguing that, unless you are from a ghetto, you're not allowed to have an opinion on them. Where did you grow up?

I was flipping through the channels last night an NHK World had a special dedicated to showing off Hydrogen Fuel Cells. They had mocked up a small town, had a fleet of vehicles/forklifts, and had a lot of "label to camera" shots for Toshiba.

It all looked nice and tidy, but effectively they had to duplicate the natural gas infrastructure and then have /several/* fuel-cell objects behind houses that were about the size of a large refrigerator.

Compressed hydrogen would diffuse so quickly that the chance of a dangerous explosion is quite low. Fuel cell vehicles would actually be much safer than gasoline vehicles in this regard. As soon as you were in a catastrophic accident, all your hydrogen would vanish.
