Plain-text-format emails are worth very little to most businesses because the vast majority of email clients render HTML and do not tell the user when the email is plain text.

I could send you an HTML email without images and font declarations and it would look exactly like a plain text email in Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, Outlook, Mac Mail, iOS Mail, etc.

I'm not even sure these emails in the story ARE actually plain text emails, because they say they are sending them via Gmail, and Gmail defaults to HTML emails, even for interpersonal emails. In other words they are likely to be text only, but of format HTML.

Article title is clickbait, and btw the HN title is different than the actual title.

Nothing specific to Ms. Munn is in the article. Her only mention is in passing, with the phrase "targeted attacks that were performed against celebrities such as Olivia Munn".

The article could just as well have been titled:

Hacking Jennifer Lawrence's iCloud Account

or

Hacking Kate Upton's iCloud Account

etc.
I think you're missing the point. The forest is literally stored carbon. All of those trees, plants, animals, etc. are all made out of carbon that has been sucked out of the air and converted into biomatter.

As the poster above mentioned, Methane has a greater immediate impact, but it only stays in the atmosphere "for 11-12 years"[1], making it a relatively short term problem. CO2 stays in the atmosphere for "approximately 100 years"[2].

I served in a non-nuke role on a nuclear submarine for 4 years in the late 90's. My two cents:

If you already have a college degree or are close to finishing, it's best to stay away from the military completely unless you seriously plan on making a career of it. As a civilian you'll have lots more opportunities for adventure and for making a positive impact in the world. Also avoid the trap of letting the military pay for your degreee in exchange for X years of service.

If you're thinking of joining the military prior to college as an enlisted sailor, go for it. You'll meet lots of very interesting people that you otherwise wouldn't, and you may develop some good habits that will help you later. Your personal definition of what is "hard" will probably change considerably.

But DO NOT join for more than 4 years. Any less and you'll be stuck scrubbing bilges the entire time. Any more and you'll go crazy from the lack of freedom, and your math/science knowledge will have seriously atrophied by the time you get out and continue your studies.

This brings us to the nuke program. Unless things have changed since I was in, nuclear power school requires a 6 year commitment. It's definitely not worth it. The skills aren't really that transferable and, judging from the many nuclear-trained sailors I knew, the work really can't be that difficult. Trust me, if you can get through beginning algebra, you can get through nuclear power school. Recruiters will try to flatter your ego and make you feel like a genius when you get a qualifying ASVAB score. I was told I got a perfect score on the ASVAB, and I'm more proud of the hippo I managed to color with a crayon when I was 5 years old. Quick, as fast as you can: What's 4/2? 2*3? 5-1? Next question: If a gear turns clockwise, what direction does the gear touching it turn? Congratulations! You qualify for nuclear power school!

Finally, in the likely chance that you end up serving on a nuclear carrier, you'll be working with some of the biggest dirtbags this side of humanity. Imagine sleeping in a dorm full of people who only joined the navy because they couldn't make it on the outside as drug dealers.
> What the checking means is that the compiler can give an opinion based on a static view of the program, and we can run that program regardless.

> The compiler can say: yes, all expressions in the program can be assigned a type; no, some expressions have a conflicting type, or couldn't be assigned a type.

What is a "conflicting type"? In the dynamic language, there is only one static type (any = int + string + float + (any -> any) + array(any) + ...), so there can't be any conflicts.

It's fine to have a compiler try to specialise the types of variables beyond that, eg. narrowing-down the type of "x" in the example to "string + float", based on how it's used (or just leave it as "any").

A "conflict" would imply that a variable is used in ways that don't match the inferred type; but the inference is based on how it's used.
Sounds interesting. Do you mind sharing how did you trained your machine learning algorithm ? It seems like an awfully hard task, since in a sense you are competing with the Google algorithm and the order it offered you.

Im not relying on judicial authority. I'm talking about the plain text of the amendment. And while the tautology point wasn't written until this century, it's not like the 10th amendment was used as a check before that.

The Federalist quote doesnt pertain to the 10th amendment. It is about the concept of enumerated powers in general. The 10th amendment isn't what makes the federal government one of enumerated powers, which is precisely why its superfluous.

And it is true that the framers envisioned the states having power over ordinary life. They also envisioned the federal government having broad power over interstate commerce. They didn't foresee that technological change would cause the latter to swallow the former.

Why would it be a bad thing if mods used escalating tactics against these things you call trolls? Nobody that isn't subject to paranoid delusions is going to self-censor because they're afraid "sama" will harass them. So far he hasn't harassed anybody, so why are you proposing that mods might do so? Last I checked, a guy that called out "sama"'s bullshit in his blog still posts here and isn't being harassed or silenced by mods. That's because there's a difference between posting endless shitty vacuity under alt accounts and writing with the intention of benefiting the reader. And there's a huge difference between having a chilling effect on discussion, which is what moderation is supposed to do, and harassment, which I don't think you know what that is. If anything, it's what these so-called trolls do to HN. I have no idea how anybody that isn't a p-zombie can possibly look at the folks that run this site and think that these people might be out to get them. I don't think they're interested in making this site any sort of Casablancian dystopia. You can tell this is the case because that's what they say. (Note that they didn't literally actually say this. Just like how they aren't literally actually saying they're not going to reveal all the alternate account havers yet somehow I know this.)

You're right. So what?

There are many businesses that still use Excel as their CRM software, even though there are purpose-built apps that work better.

My point is that Slack, Hipchat, and others are specifically targeting businesses. Having an API with integrations to other software (CRMs, issue trackers, PM, etc.) is one huge advantage over Skype, just as an example.

What the hell? This is crazy. Reporting an email as spam does not just protect you from receiving further emails, it reduces the reputation of the sender and makes it less likely their emails will get through, even to other customers who want them.

It would be like walking through a bookstore, deciding not to buy anything, then reporting them to the Better Business Bureau as a scam. You are making things worse for everyone else, as a matter of personal convenience.
It's vaguely interesting that, in the U.S., the entities best equipped to do this are the federal and state governments. Private landowners tend to manage their forests for profit and don't have any cantankerous recreational users to mollify before they arrange a sale (well, other than themselves).

I'm very excited at the progress in this release. In particular I'm thrilled at the ongoing focus on ergonomics and overall developer experience, what with the push for quality documentation (brand-new tutorials, code examples for all library functions, and API stability markers) and the rapid maturation of Cargo. Also, lifetime elision and `where` clauses have done wonders in reducing the horror that has historically plagued Rust function signatures.

There's also been tons of progress toward the last features that are blocking the 1.0 release (http://blog.rust-lang.org/2014/09/15/Rust-1.0.html). The long-awaited work on dynamically-sized types is now partially complete, and the only two remaining big hurdles that I can think of are closure reform and trait coherence reform. Onward to stability!

I believe the new part is the "rolling diaphragm" actuators, which have a high torque density.
They are? How?

My perspective is: most of the mass of the three comes from the air, and trees are weighed in tonnes. When they die the carbon goes in the ground( as long as they aren't burned ).
If we're lucky, this also means people like Apple won't autoplay the stuff, so we actually download less data on page load.

My kids are 3 (preschool) and 5 (kindergarten). I wake them at 6:30ish and they dawdle down to get dressed and have breakfast, which is typically just some kind of fruit. I then take them to school where they have a morning snack around 9:30. School provides healthy snacks for the younger one -- fresh veg/fruit, crackers, cheese, etc -- and I provide for the elder. I pack lunches for both, and at their request they each get a pb&j on high quality bread, some kind of veg, some kind of fruit, and either yogurt or cheese. Occasionally I'll toss in a homemade dessert, something chocolate or trail mix. They have afternoon snack around 3:00/3:30. School provides something healthy for the younger, I provide something for the elder. Usually it's sliced fruit, but he has an ever-present granola bar in his lunchbox if he's still hungry.

The point is that, while this is moderately healthy food, it's still really basic, simple, inexpensive stuff.

For dinners (and leftovers for my wife's & my lunches), we make a big pot of soup/stew/chili on the weekend, and eat a ton of veggies. We're mostly vegetarian, and pasta, pizza, tofu, eggs, and salmon all make regular appearances during the week. None of it takes long to prep and I work from home so I can get started before picking the kids of from school around 4:30.

I would hate to have to work outside the home and not be able to start thinking about dinner until 6pm or later. We put the kids to bed by 8:30 and we're usually asleep by 9:30.
promising that if Apple heeds his advice, he won’t sell off any of his approximately 53 million shares.

If he really thinks the stock is undervalued, why would he sell in the absence of a share buyback anyway? If he is right then surely he should be buying those shares himself and waiting as the buyback would only be bringing forward a rise, not creating it.
The issue is more likely the timing of the data arrival than just because render is being called multiple times. It would be pretty easy to fix.

I actually have been really pleased with the combination of a few related react packages (mostly react-async) put together in this sort of quickstart repo:

https://github.com/andreypopp/react-quickstart

It's extremely easy to write a primarily client side app that still prefetches its data and renders the initial HTML on the server (which would completely eliminate the issue here).

The big deal appears to be that the're using hydraulic cylinders with what's called a rolling diaphragm: http://machinedesign.com/hydraulics/rolling-diaphragm-seals-...

That's ok, we can always burn more coal.
Wow, you're right. We already had this conversation :-)

Ok, so let's assume you're right about this. According to that chart, at a partial pressure of 0.0004 atmospheres the precipitation temperature would be around -140C. And nature is still doing a lot of the work of getting us to that point at -93C.

So the question becomes is cooling air from -93C to -140C an efficient means to capture CO2?
Couldn't have agreed more. I was burnt couple of times either by moderators or other HN'rs last few posts which were totally legitimate but received bunch of down votes. The commenting system seems to be broken in this case. If there was another website like HN, I wouldn't mind switching over in a minute :)
...and as usual no one will actually use it ;)

(Because of the nightlies, I mean -- the language itself even I use!)

But really, is there any reason to have these "releases" that almost no ones uses, or is it just to have a concrete changelog every once in a while?
I'm a bit worried that, because of weird locally-smart but globally-dumb incentives, we might see people consuming 1 KWh to capture a unit of CO2, but the generation of 1 KWh puts more than 1 unit of CO2 into the atmosphere.

I'd like to see the numbers.

EDIT:

The worst coal emits 2.18 pounds of CO2 per KWh.[1] As little as 917Kwh of energy puts a ton of CO2 into the air.

They say that can do it for "$15 to $50 a ton". How much of that is energy costs? $50 buys 500KWh, so even if you used coal to operate it, it would net remove carbon from the air.

I'd still like to see a plant using nuclear energy to change CO2 into fossil fuel, though.

I actually dislike Firefox OS, not because of the lack of apps or the architecture (code a new launcher in hours, without having to learn Java), but simply it was horrendously slow.

I had the Geeksphone Keon, as part of the Firefox OS challange from my local mobile carrier, Telenor.

I'm ignoring the battery, since this was a developer phone, but it shipped with a corrupted OS that didn't show any icons and I had to upgrade it to the latest version (stable, I might add), and then apps would close, it was really laggy, camera rarely worked, the music player also rarely worked properly, and the whole phone just reeked of unfinished software...

The phone has long since died (corrupted itself beyond repair), and I'm unsure how the new Firefox OS works (the simulator doesn't simulate the device itself, so it's not a good way to test the OS) but if it's the same... Nope.

This is actually fascinating to watch. Pieces of some plants can be put into a glass of water and will develop roots and leaves, an amazing amount of mass out of seemingly nowhere.

A nice example is cyperus[1], where putting a stem upside-down with the leaves in water will give you a new plant, with just water and air (for a while).

They're trying to then store and commecercialize the captured C02. This approach will, ideally, create a marketable product out of reducing emissions, while those greedy plants just steal it to feed themselves
It takes plants a long time to do that, and so far they aren't keeping up with mankind's increased CO2 output. (Although parts of Canada are greening, so there are negative feedback cycles in the carbon loop. Dunno how long that would take.)

I think this is a very good idea. Anecdotally, I've had many people complain about having to do things they 'didn't learn in school.' But with any good idea, it's about execution. How do you build your user base, etc.
In cases where a function's input and output have the same lifetime, the lifetime is now inferred. So instead of this:

fn f<'a>(x: &'a SomeType) -> &'a OtherType

you can now write this:

fn f(x: &SomeType) -> &OtherType

Same meaning, just more concise syntax.
The conversation shouldn't be around the practicality of capturing carbon from the air, the conversation should be what is the most profitable way [...]

No, money should play no role. It is obviously easier to reduce CO2 emissions if it is profitable but there is - at least in theory - nothing that prevents governments from just demanding the reduction even if it will increase the price of products or services. In practice you will of course have to deal with businesses just moving to where nobody cares and the like but that does still not mean that money should be an important factor.
