I heard about this one company that had a similar idea but implemented it via a high frequency acoustic signature; the higher the frequency the stronger the encryption. It apparently turned into this nightmare of competing signatures and people couldn't think straight near the more secure connections. This scent technology seems to be less intrusive.

When you get different scents, will the wiffi emitters automatically sychronised with other nearby emitters so the distinct carrier smells don't interact and cause service ambiguity?

But nowadays TLD-s have little relation to the content category of the domain, look at the .com distortion for example. It's a valid claim that TLD-s are not really useful information. If you look at the current domain structure it's more like a file extension analogy.

Not necessarily. Norway has lots of hydro power. As energy producers go, Norway is not comparable to other oil producers from internal economic point of view as they've extensively rigged their economy not to implode from the "resource curse" .

The other way round: the reservoir catches excess rainwater and feeds it downstream through dams and power plants, often aiming to catch water to the reservoir and keep constant flow, at least not exceeding the generation capacity (trying to avoid bypass discharge). The reservoir is where the "lumps" are caught and level of water can change considerably.

The absence of lumps, i.e. floods downstream, is of course not always good for nature of the water systems, as in many places the river system ecology is based on having some floods. And specific arrangements need to be made for fish to pass dams and power plants.

Hi Splendor. Where are you from?
Just curious, because it's a matter of taste, which seems to be different in US and Europe.

For us, supportdetails.com looks so 1990 and it's not mobile-friendly.
The problem I see is the lost generation. Everything was set up expecting inflation. And a whole generation looses out on reasonable opportunities in life as result. A similar thing seems to be happening in Europe and the US.
That's also how your filesystem works, and a little bit of similarity with something that is already well understood can only help.
One should, perhaps, always be suspicious of opinion pieces.

The author is a remarkable man, but one whose advocacy comes with being enmeshed in Corporate USA culture (and DC). Stints at the New America Foundation, background in Law & property rights rather than science, early ties to The American Prospect and so on: definitely a wunderkind of the political class.

What's actually being said in the piece is a lot different to the title.

Tangential link (or not really, work it out).

In January 2011, The Nature Conservancy and The Dow Chemical Company announced a breakthrough collaboration—one that will help Dow and the business community recognize, value and incorporate nature into global business goals, decisions and strategies.

Over the course of six years, scientists from The Nature Conservancy and Dow will work together at three pilot sites to implement and refine models that support corporate decision-making related to the value and resources nature provides. Together, we are choosing sites that will be distributed around the world—and at each site, we will be looking for opportunities to take what we’ve learned there and transfer knowledge globally. These sites will serve as a “living laboratories”— places where we will validate and test our methods and models so they can be used to inform more sustainable business decisions at Dow and hopefully influence the decision-making and business practices of other companies.

In short - the Anthropocene definitely exists, and there's no doubt about it. If you doubt it, compare and contrast forest cover circa ~12k BC and now.

What about the new lakes generated by the dams? What about using these lakes as water reservoir needed for agriculture?

There are certainly different kinds of hydropower. Some generating a large lake for a little power output while others in the mountains of an area with heavy rainfall generate a lot of power without flooding a large area. Yet, it seems that all hydropower projects are either labelled "good" or "bad".

Now that you mention Kilian Jornet (the world famous sky runner), I can't refrain from saying that at KiteBit we actually built and run the service used by him and others to sell his movies.

Technology stack we have set up at KiteBit is RoR + Unicorn + Redis + Postgres + Vagrant. And we make also make use of Sendgrid + AWS S3 + CloudFront + ElasticTranscoder.

Kilian's movies and other stuff from him are on sale at his website summitsofmylife.com. This is a PrestaShop store but when it comes to the downloads and video streaming it's KiteBit (our service) which takes the relieve.

Grid electricity is only about a third of primary energy consumption. Renewables and nuclear power only make up about 10% and 6% of primary energy consumption worldwide [1]. In the coming years we have to ramp those fractions up globally A LOT in order to become CO2-neutral. Also from the low fraction of 6% we can see that nuclear could be switched off today without making a big difference for CO2 output, renewables already generate more power.

Normally I wouldn't question the usefulness of a project, but I'm having trouble seeing why this would be worthwhile.

Emacs already runs natively on every operating system for which Chrome also runs, so the portability aspect is not so important. And most of the time you would want to have a shell and even a compiler, so the sandboxing is kind of a problem.

I guess a sandboxed emacs is kind of a strange thing to think about. The trouble with emacs is that it brings in so many dependencies that you are getting dangerously close to replicating a full OS in a browser tab, but then you might as well just use a normal operating system (or a VM).

The idea of a Chromebook that I can run emacs on is really appealing, so much so that I did just that, but used Crouton. I thought I'd mainly be ssh'ing into a server, but actually have done a lot of stuff locally. Chromebooks make a really nice laptop if you can work completely in the shell and browser. It's all very simple.

I could see a use for this for having org-mode available in a browser, that would be useful, but it's a lot of work to go to just for that.

Actually, nuclear is not generally regarded as renewable energy by definition [0].

I'd say that if serving unasked water to 20 customers in a restaurant makes one of them order one glass less of beer, wine or soft drinks, then the environment has won.

The amount that people actually drink (or pour away from table) is completely negligible when compared to the amount that is used for production of industrial goods (including beverages).

(Of course the restaurants then loose money if people don't buy beverages, so it's not in their incentives to serve water, which is probably why such policies exist in the first place: it's green-washing of greedy actions.)

I figured that's what it was, but I couldn't ever see it. Someone else created the character so I didn't choose the weapon, but it was a long whip/blade thing that would open and close (for faster/slower attacks). It may just be harder to see with that particular weapon, I did actively try and check if that was the case.

For the point about the mechanics, there are some mechanics I simply don't want to deal with because I don't personally find them fun. The designers are free to design the hit system so that the enemies have a tendency to slide back towards the camera. I'm just as free to avoid the game because I don't want to get good at turning my analog stick at just the right angle because they slid back in a way that makes no sense.

That isn't me attacking the game, there are obviously a lot of people who really like the game. I've been gaming since the Atari days and I've grown to have my own set of likes and dislikes for games.

I will say there was something really addictive about the game. I wanted to keep playing despite the frustration, but the frustration itself was due to mechanics I simply don't like (and the slowness of the play is a huge pet peeve of mine. I played Tales of the Abyss on emulator because I couldn't deal with the slow load times on the actual PS2, I actually stopped playing the game because of them).

OTOH, I ordered my PS4 from Amazon and it bricked w/i 6 hours of getting it, so maybe if I put in a bit more time I'll learn how they want you to play the game... We'll see, I could not believe it when the PS4 shut off and refused to start up again.
Other folks have said this same thing, bascially, earlier in this thread, but bmajz sums it up perfectly here. Can't agree more with this. Fast is best. Meteor drastically lessens the start-from-scratch cruft that makes any other web app framework/stack so daunting to learn. If they can get support for SQL in place, watch out.

"Suffering isn't the point (unless that's what you enjoy)"

I don't think it was about suffering, as it was about how challenging it is. Think about other (non-gaming) experiences. The best are the challenging ones, that require your full attention. Games work the same way, and on the other end are those that hold your hand and make you sleep or quit before a tough game will.
Writing a JavaScript Public Library? Validate Your Arguments
Merci Aikah :). I know Go yes. It is a nice platform for web programming. There are some good articles comparing Go and C++. I guess C++ will always be faster than Go, but Go may be a better choice for productivity, especially if you do not know C++. Compilation time also a big C++ problem.

In short, this framework is targeted to experienced C++ users with a big focus on performance.

In terms of language, the big difference to me between Go and C++ is templates. Go does not include them, which makes it a bit more limited but on the other hand much simpler to understand for beginners and faster to compile.
7 SEO-Boosting Tactics You Might Be Neglecting
But how can you call solar power 'renewable'? It's powered by fusion reactions in the sun, which are finite; it's going to run out.

Only partly tongue-in-cheek. Fission power will also last hundreds of millions of years, so although it is "non-renewable", it shouldn't carry the same connotations of "will therefore run out".
I purchased a PS4 from amazon and got it in today. I got Bloodborne with it for someone else in the household (nothing out I particularly care about currently).
