So far the relied on voluntary reductions, which has worked well in some areas and less well in others. It's not like they just woke up to the drought now, but they considered restrictions to be a measure of last (or later) resort.
We need food. We don't need wasteful, water hungry lawns and we can make inefficient toilets and showers a little more water efficient with some cheap mods.

They weren't saying such.

"So I fail to see how Chromebooks are 'more extremely locked down' than iDevices."
NOAA says it isn't because of climate change, if that's what you're implying.

Should the word "anthropogenic" be in that sentence somewhere? Getting less water is indeed a change in the climate by the very definitions of climate and change.
If it is so bad then why is the EU signing on?

My point about the GDP is that it is such a small part of the overall economy that it is feasible to share the burden to improving the irrigation systems across the full population. And perhaps the "use it or lose it" penalties could be put on hold during a prolonged drought situation till hopefully things improve.

Also in your opinion, are the high water usage due to primarily the irrigation methods or that the crops need lot of water? Like almonds for example?
>Any reduction in these rights is viewed as a legal "taking" or condemnation of a property right by the state

I wonder what role "eminent domain" may play in an issue like that.
Honest question, trademarked according to who? The Internet is a global thing now, so who wins if there's two entities that happen to both have valid claims to a trademark?
"The value of salts is limited to thwarting attacks leveraged pre calculated lookup tables such as rainbow tables."

This is absolute drivel.

Salts prevent checking an attempt against all the hashes in parallel.

That is to say if the attacker has a dump of 1 million salted hashes, they have 1 million times the work to do compared to 1 million unsalted hashes.
Hi, are you willing to take interns? I'm currently a first year Software Engineering student. I can email you a CV/Portfolio if you'd like.
Meh.

Yes, it's critical about the "layers" model and about the SQL implementation in particular. Most of what I write isn't this critical, but I thought there was actually an interesting point here so I wrote it down. Take it for whatever it's worth.

I would look at the list of projects Google has accepted for Google Summer of Code (https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org/list/public/google/g...). They should all be mature enough to have established protocols for newcomers, and with luck they'll be friendly enough for you to feel welcome. (Drupal is on that list, and as a contributor I can certainly vouch for it in both those areas.)
So, am I to understand you can't turn off notifications for specific apps on Android?
The price in Finland for cold water is about $4.50 (4.18€) per cubic meter, even though water is supposed to be abundant here. And the average water consumption is 165 liters, which is about 44 gallons.

That's when the people start responding by first ignoring the laws, and if there is an attempt to enforce these laws that defy reason, the response will turn to bricks and molitovs.

This eventuality is probably why there has been a sharp increase in domestic police militarization, and at least part of the reason the NSA has been allowed to run wild collecting domestic data. COINTELPRO was an effective progrram, and only a fool would believe that after the Curch Committee the program simply evaporated. Like "total information awareness", the names were simply changed and shuffled into different departments.

It would be helpful if a lot more people started recognizing the larger scene that has been unfolding around them instead of clinging to how everything is supposed to be. Those fantasies were bought out a long time ago. As I've mentioned in other threads, "regulatory capture is a helluva drug."

> It shouldn't matter why a scientific argument is made as long as opponents are free to counter it.

Yeah, sure thing, if we all had unlimited time and brain power to devote to these things. But I can't weigh the issues myself on their scientific merit since I don't have the background (ignoring the fact I might easily fool myself too) and I'm too old to wait 50 years for everything to get sorted out.

So on the balance of things, the debate appears to be ongoing and reasonable people reasonably disagree, but I don't think I'm wrong saying that Taleb's 'contribution' to the 'scientific argument' is mainly heckling Dawkins.
Symbiotic vs Parasitic describes it better.
Ah, the classic naive geek. All it would take to implement your plan is:

1) Become dictator of all California via military coup.
2) Create water monopoly that has rights over all water sources.
3) Regulate said water utility.

Totally reasonable.
Yes, Dutch "look-the-other-way" laws related to recreational marijuana use come to my mind (guess where I live). It's no secret that neighbouring countries are not happy with the drug policy in the Netherlands. And Europe puts pressure on the government to change the laws.

I don't know everything about all _these_ secret negotiations, but the feeling I get when I look at all the past attempts at these super-national laws and treaties is that I dislike and distrust them.

I remember that during the world cup football in South Afrika a group of Dutch women were arrested because they showed up in a stadium dressed in the 'Bavaria jurkjes' (lousely translates to 'Bavaria dresses')[0]. Fifa had super-national laws in place, some of them regarding advertisement. It was apparently illegal for companies to advertise in the stadium during the matches except for the official sponsors. The dresses were seen as advertisement and the people wearing them were arrested.

The women said they were unaware of any advertisement going on, and were just wearing their countries colours.

Edit:

I don't doubt that this was a marketing stunt, still, I decide what I wear and where I do it. Not some entertainment company that should only be concerned with running the sports event and not the money grubbing.
> Suburban heating and cooling involves larger spaces for less people (houses being bigger in the suburbs),

Shouldn't matter as long as your dwelling is properly insulated.

> In an urban environment, there is a lower environmental cost for transportation and processing of food/water/other goods (fewer locations to deliver to).

I concede this point, although moving trucks to cleaner fuels will resolve this.

> In an urban environment, I would expect fewer materials are needed to maintain infrastructure (power lines, water pipes, roads, etc). Manufacturing all of these parts involves an environmental cost.

This is mostly a sunk cost with existing suburban and rural infrastructure.

> Suburban living currently almost certainly means a big lawn. Traditional green lawns are bad for the environment.

No disagreement, although you're not required to have a lawn. You can cover the whole area with rock or a garden (I know several people who do either).

> Urban communities can also centralize waste disposal and (I suspect) more easily implement recycling programs.

My local suburban trash service uses methane from the local landfill to power its vehicles, and in due time will switch to electric vehicles.

> Finally, don't forget that an electric car is only actually better for the environment if the electricity is produced sustainably (this is mostly not the case in the US). I suspect that electric cars may actually be worse for the environment if powered by most US power plants.

This was the point I was most interested in responding to. In all cases, electric vehicles are better than petroleum vehicles, even if powered by fossil fuel generation sources. Its much simpler to maintain emissions controls on one coal plant than 100K cars. Also, your fleet gets "cleaner" as renewables and other clean energies come online, whereas your petroleum-powered vehicles will always burn petrol for the life of the vehicle.
There's water, and then there's water. You can put just about any water on a farm field or orchard, but not into someone's tap. Water for taps has to be treated.

This means that you can have more than one kind of water shortage. There's shortage of water, and shortage of treatable/treated water.

What's more, water is difficult to (efficiently) transport long distances. Aquaducts are about the only way to do it. This means you can have a shortage of water in one place, and water available somewhere else, and not be able to fix things.

Then, as Joel Garreau pointed out in "The Nine Nations of North America", there's the difference in viewpoint between northern and southern California. Southern California (think LA) believes in development, growth, conquering nature. Northern California believes in harmony with nature, and leaving things unspoiled. This means that in LA, "letting a river flow unchecked into the sea is a waste, a sin. In San Fransisco, it's a blow struck for God's original plan for the land." This makes it very difficult to find political consensus for a plan of action.

And, on a bit more specific topic, I see people talking about orchards. Let's say you've got an orchard that takes lots of water. People are screaming at you to turn off the taps because things are so dry. But your trees are, say, 30 years old. That means if you turn of the water because this is a dry year, it's going to take you 30 years to fully recover from that move. So you're going to do everything you can not to have to turn the water off to your trees.
While traffic lights are mission critical, we can absolutely make it fool proof, the first time. It's actually not very difficult.

Don't forget, many lights right now are using weight sensors in the ground (SEE EDIT-2), A. that is very costly, B. They are prone to damage...a lot of the time, and C. with current technology in cameras, I'd say they will be more reliable and give better information about on-coming cars from all directions to the traffic light.

It is quite simple to say, if the conditions are bad for visibility, or the camera is inoperable, or even a bird is sitting in front of it, whatever it is, the simple fall back can be 'dumb'. A timer. As they have been for many many years.

I've thought about this a lot and imagine in the future that each intersection will actually be able to communicate with the on board systems of autonomous vehicles and create a very efficient system. At that point, many intersections would not even require vehicles to stop. It would regulate the speed of each vehicle so each one could go through with minimal energy impact. ...Sure...it might be a 'close your eyes' moment...but regardless, we can make it safer than how it is today...with humans making the stop/go decisions.

Whatever upgraded systems in traffic lights we move to, we have to start thinking about autonomous driving. It will be a HUGE leap forward in not only getting around efficiently, but getting around quicker! Human driving tendencies are inherently inefficient. The slinky effect on roads and highways is quite annoying.

EDIT: Another 'efficient' thing we can do is place short range charges into the ground near the stopping point at lights. This is down the road when a majority of cars on the road are fully electric. But as the vehicles sits at a light, it would charge. The power would be obtained through using photocells on the surface, so when a car is not currently waiting on top of it, they are building a charge. This of course would require the price of batteries to go way down to be feasible, but essentially, all forms of consumer transportation will be powered by solar.

EDIT-2: I'm wrong about weight sensors, I actually did not know about inductive loops at lights. TIL. Either way, they have a limited range of detection.

All laws govern our actions in one way or another. No law is totally free from imposing or preventing a specific action.

As for "taking other people's property without their voluntary consent," yes, from one private citizen to another, that is true, stealing is wrong.

Extending that idea to cover taxation is also wrong; taxation isn't stealing. Taxation is paying the bill you incur by living in a place with a government that provides you with a wide variety of services.
if by "a disproportionate say" you mean "the public only learned about it because the documents were illegally leaked, and it would have passed totally in secret with only corporations and politicians at the helm otherwise", then yeah.

I think land has probably the least defensible claim to inalienable property. You didn't create it, it'll be here long after you're dead. You have it because the government stole it from a bunch of Indians by force, and it's only the government's continued threat of force that allows you to preserve your claim on it.

Summer in New York is unbearable, I am originally from Russia, I used to live in New York for many years, 28c degree in New York is nothing like 28c degree in Moscow or 28c degree in San Diego (where I live now). It's very relative, depends on a dryness of the air I guess.
In Sunnyvale as recently as a year ago at least, public parks and schools were seriously over-watering their fields. The drought was already a serious concern and I called the school district to point out that their sprinkler systems were running even on rainy days and ran long enough to make the ground marshy even on a dry day. They didn't care. I'm pretty disgusted by how long it's taken for more action to be taken. Water rights is the first time I've heard of California state giving a crap about property rights.
I find it odd that it's too expensive. It's cheaper than the price of water in e.g. Finland and many European countries, yet I've never heard anyone complain about the price water.

I just find it funny, of course it's not a real problem. But note I don't come from a first world country, and in fact my first language is Spanish, like the majority of my fellow countrymen.

So I found it very funny that my average conversation when asking a Tico for directions went something like this:

"Hola, ¿me podrías indicar dónde queda $LOCATION?"
"Of course sir! First you take this route--"
"Perdón, hablo español."
"Suuure, sir. As I was saying..."

After a while, I stopped fighting against it :)
It's correcting the common market failure of humans undervaluing opportunity costs. The economic foundation is behavioral economics, or maybe a more advanced model of rational actor economics which takes into account the often high cost of measuring opportunity costs.
Don't you mean "almond and pistachio shortage leads to revolution"?
Lawns and toilets are such a tiny part of water usage in California that even if you got rid of all lawns and toilets altogether, it would not make any material difference to the water shortage. All residential usage of all types in CA amounts to ~9% of water usage. Talking about lawns and toilets is a purely theatrical feelgood measure designed to make people think they're pitching in and helping.

We need food of some kind, yes. We do not need massively water-hungry high margin crops such as pistachios and almonds being grown in the middle of the desert during the worst drought in centuries.

Rocket isn't trying to have more than Docker, it's explicitly trying to have less. Rocket was started because the authors thought that Docker was losing sight of it's original mission and becoming bloatware. I've not used Rocket at all, but I'm having to implement Docker in production. As an ops guy rather than a dev, I'm finding a lot of rough edges.

One example: I was away from the office a couple of days ago and one of the devs had to push to our staging servers instead of me. He logged in, and couldn't pull the image from dockerhub. Error message said the image was not found, which was demonstrably wrong, because he could pull it to his own machine. You just have to know that "image not found" can mean both "image not found" and "you haven't run 'docker login' yet" - that image not found error is given as an auth error message!

There's stuff like this all through Docker, and I can see where the Rocket guys are coming from - Docker is spread too thin trying to do too much. Lots of corners get cut.
holy crap no kidding.
Here's the primary source, look for yourself.
http://gov.ca.gov/docs/4.1.15_Executive_Order.pdf

All the mandatory restrictions are on urban water users, agricultural water suppliers are required to submit paperwork.
On residential water bills the wastewater fees are a separate line item. In Santa Cruz there is a fixed fee for water delivery based on the size of the pipe (fee is independent of how much water you consume), a tiered fee based on consumption, and another fee for wastewater that is fixed tied to the household.

The fixed fees are very high. If I halved my water consumption then it would only save a dollar or so a month. The net effect is that the people who consume the least pay the most for the water they consume because of the high fixed fees. Here is my municipal bill for June last year:

17.41 Water - Ready to Serve 5/8"
4.71 Water Consumption Charges (3 CCF): 3 CCF @ 1.57
42.30 Sewer - Single Family
26.05 Refuse - 32 Gallon Cart
7.69 Utility Tax @8.5%
5.06 Franchise Tax - Water 3%,Sewer 3%,Refuse 12%

The water consumption does have tiered pricing, with a penalty above 10 CCF/month. As you can clearly see there isn't any incentive to save. I was also renting at the time, and couldn't do things like install more water efficient plumbing, fixtures and appliances (standard limits in rental agreements).
