> CO2 is not strictly human emissions and to imply so is so dishonest is ridiculous.

That was never implied. In fact, they made a point of comparing human driven emissions (which includes things like transportation and agriculture) to natural sources (eg volcanoes).

> the primary co2 process is ocean to atmosphere exchange, the earth to atmosphere, and then to mammals respiratory activity

Well, you're missing some stuff in there. Like plants n stuff.

> finally since their numbers only are observable to 1880, how accurate can we assume them to be?

This chart has data back to 1880. Ice core samples, tree rings, whole hosts of other parts of science go back much farther than 1880. All of it seems to corroborate each other.

> If were are extrapolating we could do it further back than 1880 to periods where man was present in significant numbers and thew world was warmer

> Take numbers out of context, put in easily to dismiss arguments along side, and it appears to make your point beyond reproach

Hm, sort of like simplifying the CO2 cycle to a few words, missing a bunch of it, and then somehow pretending to think that that explains things much better than hundreds of scientists who have given us the science that shows that this is mainly due to human causes.

Head up to the Arctic. Talk to people whose families have lived there forever and see for yourself. I think that's the only way to convince people like yourself.
Forget the immigration laws.... It's impossible to live legally in US as skilled worker or anything like this. I know a lot of people who went there, lived as illegals without graduation or any kind of specialization for a long time and now they have green card or citizenship. But I also know two guys who had H1B or academic visas, the only one who is still there got married, to other one had to come back.
I tend to side with @meh on this one. Work is about work, not about their private life or opinions. I don't ask my coworkers about their political opinions, and frankly I could care less if they were Nazis, Christians, Gay or AntiGay.

Calling a developer out for what they said on Twitter is like hating on a mechanic for something you overhead at a bar. You might choose to not get your car serviced there, but don't imply that they shouldn't be working on cars. They're obviously skilled.

I'm sure the poster has their own political views which others would find inconvenient or even downright horrible.

It's a reasonable question. While I am not a climatologist...

Anthropogenic evaporation is probably minuscule next to deviations in natural evaporation due to small changes in temperature. A single hurricane, for example, dumps more power (as heat) than all human power generation.

Also, unlike CO2, I would also guess that atmospheric water probably reaches equilibrium much faster (half life ~1 year instead of ~30 years).
Source code link?
> github has a billion-dollar valuation based on the fact that Linus Torvalds wrote and open-sourced git, and pretty much for no other reason.

No, github has a billion-dollar valuation based on the fact that they took a pretty empty market (source code hosting) and created a developer ecosystem around it. Whether they used git, or mercurial, or svn, or any other version control system really doesn't make a big difference. They happened to pick up on the fact that git was picking up steam and went all-in on that bet, but you can replace git with practically any other VCS and it still could have worked. In fact, I'd say it brought more younger developers and enterprise companies to git than git bringing the developers to them.
>Nice! Mind sharing a download link of said converted .dfonts that you have so far? Sounds like a nice Apple/typography history project.

Yeah, sure. For the time being, they will be here: http://cs.gettysburg.edu/~duncjo01/LostFonts/

That "zero trend" is only there if you use annual averages.

Again: use decadal moving averages, and an entirely different picture comes up.

Creating GitHub required both vision and a lot of hard work. Building Google required both vision and a lot of hard work. Yes, they use open source tools, but ultimately they built something people could get huge amounts of value from at a time when no one else was.

If Linus was interested in turning git into cash, there are a variety of ways he could make that happen, but it doesn't seem like that's his goal.
How to Get Great App Ratings and Reviews
What does you app offers that is different or better than the other thousands of helpdesk apps out there?
Water vapor is a much larger contributor to the greenhouse effect than CO2. There is a lot more of it in the atmosphere.

The reason water vapor cannot be a forcing (i.e. root cause) of global warming is because of how short the water cycle is. If the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere increases, it is rather quickly balanced back by fixing some of the water vapor into liquid water. We call this process "precipitation."

I've seen estimates that the length of the water cycle is on the order of a week or two. So if human activity puts a lot of extra water vapor into the air--say, with a nuclear power cooling tower--then the excess water vapor will precipitate back into the liquid water within a week or two.

Human society has adapted very well to this cycle. We have built our societies to manage rain and snow [1].

The carbon cycle is much longer--I've seen estimates on the order of several decades at least. Thus, if human activity puts an excess of CO2 into the atmosphere, that will be there for several decades or longer. Thus the effect has quite a bit longer to compound, producing changes that seem long-term to human societies.

We have not built our societies to adapt to the effects of these types of trends. Think of how many human structures within just a few meters elevation above mean sea level, for example. Like: most of Manhattan.

Water vapor is a feedback. If the average atmospheric temperature goes up (for any reason), it can hold more water vapor, which then further increases the greenhouse effect, which raises the temperature more, etc. One reason scientists build complex computer models is to figure out how a little bump in temperature (from CO2 for example) can be magnified by feedbacks like water vapor.

Nice work! At a glance, the email you sent out does look sort of spammy. If you plan on doing it again you might get better feedback by making it a bit more human - ie "I'm just a guy/gal trying to help yall out - hope you don't use this password everywhere because someone posted it to pastebin.... - have a good one!" or something like that. Out of curiosity - what did you use to scrape pastebin?

No. No, it isn't.

And even if it were, it's possible to have a useful response beyond a webcomic link that every idiot posts when anything new happens.
1) HSMs are certified, and are relatively robust against individual employees (if configured that way). With anything else, administrators of the system are likely to be able to get access to key material. But a pain to work with, and expensive.

2) Offline key management -- e.g. a laptop in a safe -- was the low end solution for a long time. However, there are a lot of reasons why you want an online CA now

3) Just keeping a key in memory on a machine (doing nothing special) obviously exposes you to several risks:
a) Administrator (can be remote; incl compromise of laptop of admin)
b) Anyone who gains root on the box
c) Application-level security issues (ranging from key leakage to just compromising the application.
d) Physical-access cold boot (which can be more exciting in a virtualized environment)

There are a bunch of ways to improve #3, although it will remain worse than #1 or #2.

a) Simply run the keys in a different process; this protects you against some minimal things, and if you use a PKCS 11 interface, makes upgrading to an HSM later easier.

b) Different user, with a defined interface

c) Different VM

d) Physically separate machines communicating over a bidirectional link (you could do this as two ethernet connections)

e) Two one-way links bound to specific programs (e.g. serial); much harder to compromise both this way. You'd need to compromise the "send commands" program, and "receive commands" program, and the "send response" program. They can be very limited in what they do.

Limiting admin access to physical-presence, or at the very least via a secure pathway which isn't direct to the machine (e.g. a console server which logs) goes a long way, too.
$20k GI bill + $8k yellow ribbon + $3k/mo living allowance ($24k for 8 months or $36k for 12 months).

Do I support federal dollars funding college education for vets? Yes, absolutely. Do I think this is some great act of benevolence by Columbia? No. Is that view reinforced by the simple fact that they use different diplomas, transcripts and CEEB codes for veterans? Certainly. Do I buy that Columbia's screwy internal administrative structure is a valid reason for this? Definitely not.

There's another option, keep using calm reason. For instance, run the troposphere trend back from May 2015 and you'll see it is flat to December 1996. UAH 6.0 and RSS are the best (most accurate, least problematic, with highest coverage) sources of atmospheric temperatures we have.

Farewell to Circa News
When talking about the "significance," we forget that we're talking about differences of 5K in an ambient temperature of 300K.

We're not "significantly" screwing with the climate. That's not the issue. The issue is just how sensitive our civilization is to such a small temperature change.

Am I alone in thinking that emulating a physical machine, installing an operating system on that virtual physical machine and so on and end up with two operating systems running in parallel on the same physical machine which needs to be patched and maintained is not an elegant solution? After a while, every developer might have five machines which he need to keep patched and maintained.

Personally I just have VMware Workstation for this at home and VMWare ESX cluster at work.
I opened the "Summary for Policymakers" listed right on their home page, and it popped up a PDF titled "AR5_SYR_FINAL_SPM-1.pdf". That's where I searched on the word "vapor" and found only one occurrence -- inside the word "evaporation".

I guess the "for the Physical Science Basis" report is something different that I haven't found yet.

Neither. It stands on its own, that the right's de facto behind-the-scenes leader doesn't get behind homosexual discrimination almost entirely because his daughter is gay. It's not praise or put-down - instead it's an example.

Parents disowning their gay children is almost entirely religious-based. The Dick Cheney example is one of pure politics, which is a prime example of where the discriminatory views from the right become equally disgusting to people on the right when they're the victims of said discrimination.
Ah, pathetic Famous as usual.
How do you use decadal moving averages from satellite data that has only existed since 1979? You'll get roughly the same trend as the full data set. Even so, the last two decades would still be flat, or very nearly so.
Dynamic Redis (which is a Redis Fork that lets you add modules to it) is a great find! Especially with the Geo module added.

Also, "where you're at" is poor grammar. You could simply say "where you are." In general, you should probably avoid contractions (say "you are" instead of "you're").

> most cities restrict supply of taxis to keep prices high and fix prices as the behest of the taxi industry

Why is it always left out that a limited number of taxis is good for society as well? Taxis operate on public roads, pollute public air, cause traffic congestion the public must deal with, cause car accidents and hit pedestrians. When you're not catching a ride taxis (and Ubers) are a nuisance and society has decided to limit their negative side effects.

That report's really long.

There are sea changes/disruptions going on in food comparable to changes in media consumption, ride sharing, the music industry etc. Look at McDonald's rapid decline, microbrew beer going from a niche to outselling Budweiser.

Even 10-15 years ago, %90 of what the average person learned about food came from mass media ads. Now it's probably %90 social media. In this world, mass produced food is practically the definition of "unshareable" - there's not much interesting about something that's inherently common and such food usually isn't too photogenic. Like so many products on the internet, this is a world where "the long tail" of food products, restaurants and even recipes can thrive like never before.

More than anything, I think there's a healthy competitive dynamic going on - food is legitimately getting better. Yelp reviews give local restaurants equal footing with national brands. Restaurants of all stripes have to compete with their own consumers, who have easier access to good recipes (and greater incentive to cook).
That's very true. Fuji is notorious for this - they build fantastic cameras/lenses but until recently there was little advertising and they were difficult to source outside Japan. They're also very bad at keeping US customers in the loop about their supply issues.
You mistake my argument. I don't doubt ocean acidification, rise in ocean levels, or global warming. My point is that the best data we have conflicts with the IPCC consensus of 4 degrees Celsius of warming by 2100. And there wasn't a single model that showed 2 decades of flat temperatures until the latest IPCC assessment, when it became obvious there were definitely 2 decades of flat temperatures.
The difference here is that the Y axis looks to be the same for both datasets being compared.

Generalizing entire groups of people clearly isn't asshole behavior by your interpretation given that it's a natural staple of identity politics, though of course those have convenient escape hatches to absolve themselves of their own terms.

Furthermore, the inability to compartmentalize between an individual's work and their beliefs creates lots of practical problems. When one writes code, they are subject to the guidelines of the project and represent themselves purely from their role as programmer. What they do outside this is not in the scope of the project.

Discounting an entire software project because one of the contributors outside their duties as a project member said some unsavory things, is outright idiotic. The relevant things here are whether they're good maintainers (and not good people, that's irrelevant) in addition to the technical qualities of the software itself.

On the VHDL side the commercial simulators are still way ahead of GHDL. It still doesn't support all of VHDL-93 and it's missing more than just the esoteric dusty corners of the language.

The free versions of Modelsim are "crippled" by slowing down interpretation after crossing a threshold of executable lines but they no longer impose a 3x slowdown for code under the threshold. It is quite usable for the scale of designs most people would do on their own and you have to work to hit the LOC threshold. Other missing features are the price you pay for not paying anything.
