It's confusing when you address Linux this way. Most Linux distributions are not for-profit, so they're going to have any staff going to businesses. Plus, even if they did, they'd have to offer support, which they aren't able to.

The only distributions that can do that are the enterprise paid ones, and those are mostly meant for the server side. AFAIK there isn't really an enterprise desktop distribution of Linux really intended for that kind of use. Linux on the desktop is what it is -- it's an option for those who want it. Market share is not a big consideration at all.

I read an article a year or so ago about a prosecutor who, once DNA evidence revealed that the defendant (convicted prior) was innocent started theorizing that he was one of two rapist, but wore a condom.

So yeh. There are no limits and no meaningful rules as to what they can and will do. Certainly many feel no moral or ethical constraints on their actions.

> I have no idea why, but with Japanese companies it's a common theme. Most don't even care about overseas expansion, and if they do, it's poorly executed (say, Daihatsu, who dicked around on the European market for decades without ever listening to even trivial customer wishes, and then wrote the whole business off because it "obviously can't work" – well, duh).

The Japanese domestic consumer market is so enormous that many Japanese companies are simply not interested in selling their goods internationally, because they don't need to. They can make plenty of money without dealing with the complications of selling their products in other countries. Many are small businesses and are content with making enough money to cover payroll.

Tut, tut. You are right of course, but you are still out of line here. Let me remind you in no uncertain terms that the correct meme is now 'climate change'.

To say 'global warming' confirms that the models predict warming. Of course, the models still DO continue to predict warming, however recent climate data suggests we are in a cooling phase.

We must be vigilant to maintain our thought controls in order to remain part of the group. You will accept that the science predicts warming in a world that is currently cooling. And to confirm to the group that you accept this contradiction, you must force yourself to always use the proper meme in your speech.

Thanks in advance,

Neither you nor the person you are responding to probably has the requisite qualifications to actually tell …

Judging something like this without relying on outside signals seems rather impossible and pointless if you are not, you know, an actual expert. No matter how much you want to believe you can be one about everything …
http://www.skepticalscience.com/Waste-heat-vs-greenhouse-war...
You are absolutely correct.

It comes down to the evolutionary history of Earth throughout life's 4 billion year tenure on this planet. The climate has gone through EXTREME changes [1][2], including the Chicxulub impact, which radically impacted the atmosphere's composition and life on this planet. Yet, the biosphere has always adapted and life continued.

Assuming that mankind is destroying the biosphere at an unprecedented rate (we are), and burning hydrocarbons at an even faster rate (we are), are these two factors enough to turn the earth into a Mars-style wasteland, completely devoid of all life?

Based on the data I`ve linked below, it just doesn't seem plausible. We can use linear regression models of the atmosphere and show temperatures rising until life becomes impossible, but that is not how complex biospheres work.

In any case, climate science is definitely a worthy scientific discipline to study, but it is becoming akin to economics in the prediction department. As in, the principles are sound, but the predictions of the experts are laughably wrong on a regular basis, possibly due to the fierce politicization of this branch of science.

No. He's just poor at judging intelligence, like everyone else.

If they are polite and don't raise their voice and there are no obvious deficiencies in their vocabulary or pronunciation, and they seem to be minimally informed on current events and trends, you couldn't tell an idiot from a genius. You have no ability to see their thought processes, and you've never really bothered to try to infer them.

Studies even suggest you don't know what's going on in your own brain either. This despite the fact that you are actually privy to at least some of your own thought process.

>Again, "Do the fucking research" is not a debate.

Why do you want to debate instead of learn? Why not go read the IPCC report in which your questions are likely to be answered? Don't count on the lay interest of HN commentators, go read what the experts have to say directly. That's what that report is for.

>It's interesting that we had a major climate change before the industrial revolution and we still don't underestand completely how it happened.

We have a pretty good guess. Native Americans suddenly lost 95% of their population due to plagues introduced from Europe. They in turn stopped burning the forests of the Eastern US. The forests recovered, and pulled a huge amount of carbon out of the air. This caused an ice age.

It's a serious problem in multiple areas in society these days; the inability to ask simple questions that may go against the "accepted" narrative without being personally attacked. Science, religion, politics, sports, it's everywhere.

It's a seriously sad state of affairs, but nothing new really, if you think about it. The reach of modern communications has inflated the problem in my opinion.
> it has been difficult to get the CEO to keep meetings or spend the necessary time (> 5 minutes)...

It turns out a lot Small Company CEOs have limited bandwidth. Learn his communication style and how to manage him. Can he take a 7am call on his commute into the office? Relative to your performance imperatives, help him understand how these things move his agenda forward. Otherwise, his problems aren't going away.
Well he only mentions that the higher ups wouldn't sponsor the employment based green card. The only thing he mentions about H1B is that it is renewable only once for 3 years. Where do you see that his H1B wasn't being sponsored? He would've being working on an H1B anyway.
That essay is not, however, an invitation to the Galileo gambit.
I was pulled over by a cop because I essentially "cut him off" at an intersection, pulling from my complete stop at a stop sign across the intersection while he, further behind but with no stop sign, was turning into the same road: he therefore couldn't keep so much of his momentum but once he got into the road he needed to slow way down to match my speed.

Fortunately, I had a tail light out -- not a brake light, just the ones that idle on when the car is running. When he asked "do you know why I pulled you over?" I said "Because I have this tail light out: but the brake lights are fine, I have this appointment to fix them tomorrow, and here is this warning that this other officer gave me about the problem, which clearly says that it has to be fixed by the end of the week."

He said out-right "no, that's not why I pulled you over, you ran that stop sign," and I said, "no, I came to a complete stop, I always do, it's one of those disciplines I have that really annoys my girlfriend..." and such. Probably I shouldn't have even tried to argue it? But I did.

In the end, he came back with a ticket for "driving a defective vehicle" -- because the tail light was out, and despite the fact that he should have ideally deferred to the earlier warning. I asked him about it and he said, "you didn't fix it fast enough!" brusquely. Probably he wanted to lean on my immediate statement of "this is broken but I am fixing it tomorrow" in any trial, like, "he immediately confessed to the crime."

This turn of events was quite fortunate as when the county prosecutor saw both pieces of paper side-by-side (the warning, "fix by the 9th", and the ticket issued on the 7th, or whatever), she agreed to drop the case before it went to trial. (I had also been told by a police clerk that the judge was pretty lenient about traffic violations, so that may have also been in her mind.)
This is a really cool product, I wonder how easy it would be to branch the software to be used in other areas.

Thanks! Really have to hand it to our engineers on this one. Lots of challenges to keep the entire stack simple and scalable. And yep, if you're looking to talk to some people about the Swift lessons learned, this is the crew to talk to.
Ah, but that's not at all the same as not addressing it, or as you state "I have never seen anyone talk about this alternative hypothesis." (of course I read it, and asked that question)

They are talking about it, and saying that it's a potential source of error that nobody knows how to account for yet, which is pretty common in science. If someone can demonstrate that the potential effect is dominant, it's a real problem. If someone can demonstrate that the potential effect is trivial it can safely be left alone. Otherwise you do the best modeling you can with the best data you can and talk about the possible confounding issues as so we proceed.

So I don't see any particularly damning issue here, have I missed something? It would be nice to resolve the differences between estimates. Is i the lack of analysis of radiative forcing that is bothering you? Do we have any reason to believe it can be a significant term? These sources of vapor are certainly not large (relative to total sources of water vapor in the atmosphere) so I'm not seeing the mechanism.

This really isn't my area, and as always I'm more than happy to be wrong (I learn more that way).
How is one to know for certain if they are being detained if one does not ask?

The questions are repeated when a noncommittal response is given or when the answer is incongruous with the behavior of the officer(s). For example "I just want to ask you some questions." or "No, you're not being detained. Can you come over here and let me ask you some questions?"

It's done, not because of some belief that it will allow the guilty to go free but because they want to expose the coercive nature of certain police interactions.

Am I being detained? Am I free to go? Am I under arrest?

Police officers only have to give the Miranda warning when someone has been arrested. Any statements made before an arrest are assumed to be voluntary. If an officer has probable cause, they're going to arrest you. Making it clear that you have no interest in cooperating is in your best interest.

There is one phrase that can be stated that does give some legal cover, depending on circumstance. "I do not consent to any searches" will require an officer to prove that he had reasonable suspicion or probable cause to conduct a search as he or she will not be able to claim that the search was with the consent of the suspect.
What would the phrase "proprietary software" mean if it weren't possible for software to be proprietary?
Since I seem to be repeating myself all over this thread:

It is basic physics (the optics of IR and visible light and thermodynamics) that trace amounts of CO2 and methane can significantly warm the atmosphere.

We know physics pretty damn well, and if you do not accept this, there is no conversation.

Sure, one should look at the data to see to what extent this is happening and there are all kinds of questions one can ask. But all this talk of "correlation is not causation" is nonsense.

So, that's an interesting phenomenom, albeit one with possible explanations (that others have provided), but I'd like to volley a question back to you: have you performed the same experiments that Arrhenious[1] performed in 1896, that has been reproduced thousands of times before, and come up with a different result? (ie, that CO2 doesn't create a greenhouse effect).

The problem with private prisons is the conflict of interest.

As a private for-profit prison employing what is effectively cheap slave labor, you have zero incentive to actually reform or to reduce the amount of people who become imprisoned or the amount of time they are imprisoned for. You are in fact financially incentivized to do the opposite; classic perverse incentive.

As someone else in here posted,
The Corrections Corporation of America noted relaxation of drug enforcement efforts as a RISK FACTOR in their 2011 10-K filing:

http://yahoo.brand.edgar-online.com/displayfilinginfo.aspx?f...

"The demand for our facilities and services could be adversely affected by the relaxation of enforcement efforts, leniency in conviction or parole standards and sentencing practices or through the decriminalization of certain activities that are currently proscribed by criminal laws."

Does this not scream "conflict of interest not in the interest of the greater good" to you? It does to me.

For an example of what happens when you allow this on a larger scale, see North Korea. Not a country anyone should be taking after!

I think it's nice that they support Docker, but I was disappointed that their entire installation instructions were "install docker then run our image". I had to read the dockerfile and the "start" script to find out what the actual dependencies and setup steps are.

I object to it as a user as much as I do as a developer.

Historically, a third-party software ecosystem benefits everyone. Apple is trying to suppress that to the detriment of both their developers and their users, for their own gain.

Ugh. This is exactly the type of poorly-informed response you generally get when people attempt to "read the data" for themselves with little to no understanding of the science behind it. Seems to be a lot of that going around HN today.
The Famine made Ireland "Irish" in the sense that we understand it today. The famine caused people to become more pious in their Catholicism, even more impoverished and detest the British even more than what they previously did. It probably was the single most important factor in shaping modern Ireland.

Many here are probably aware that Ireland had in 1845 a population of 9 Million but only 6 Million today (all Island pop). The entirety of the UK at the time had a population of 22 Million people. This means the Britain (Scotland, England and Wales) was only 25% bigger than Ireland at that time which is completely different today with the UK having >60 Million people and Ireland (Republic) having 4.5 Million. Ireland had a similar agricultural output compared to Britain which is at least three time larger.

If the famine didn't happen Ireland could easily have a population of over 30 Million. However it did happen and alternate realities are hard to predict.

Funny how people get riled up over stuff like this. The article is from 6 years ago and you still hear the same comments like "the _____ sucks but the ____ is fine" (ecosystem|language,types|jvm
etc.)

The only way to have a healthy debate about a language is to have context: if you are building an integration between a custom app with a RDBMS that has to send data to an ERP system in XML, and there are specs with interfacing the ERP in Java, C#, C++ are you going to argue that Haskell or Lisp is better?

If you have to put a simple web application together quickly as a working prototype are you going to choose Ruby/Rails, Perl, Java/JSP, etc.? It probably doesn't matter technically but does matter when it comes to the experience of the people building it.

Just debating languages against each other in some sort of "cage match" is sort of ridiculous.
I just want to clarify in my post that I dont believe in a fight or confrontation of christians vs gays or any other group of people. I dont want to give the impression that Im calling Brendan to fight a holy war. My main point is we need to maintain our freedom of speech and freedom of thought, we should be free to say what our values are. Im not accusing Brendan of being afraid and using the word coward is probably overly dramatic. But Im saying we dont appreciate our freedoms until we lose them and I dont think there was healthy or free dialog in how things played out during this controversy. More and more discrimination issues are being brought forward in Silicon Valley and we are going to have deal more and more with people who have strong moral differences to our own. Brendan Eich just happens to be thrown in the spotlight for exersizing his right to vote on something others disagree with. So like it or not this incident will have a president on how issues like this are handled in the future.

It depends on how much work you're doing in that syscall: if you can collapse all of the work for font discovery, loading, rendering, determining the output parameters, communicating with the video driver, etc. into a single syscall that can be a big win relative to a classic microkernel system where each of those operations involves the overhead of crossing a process and security boundary.
