"Warm" = "more energetic", in every sense of the word. In my own mind, I think of global climate change in a more simplistic way: global energy change. We humans are releasing, in short order, energies that took natural processes millions of years to convert to the form that we're liberating. I can't think of any other philosophy or activity done by humankind that wantonly, aggressively and cavalierly "blows the wad" without experiencing a terrible consequence as a result of upsetting the balance.

Matter can be subject to a chemical or physical process that liberates the energies that keep it together. Temperature is one form of energy that is liberated. It's how power is generated -- we used that heat energy to, usually, make another fluid move faster, and convert that to mechanical energy by way of a turbine, and convert that mechanical energy to electricity, by way of rotating magnets inducing electrical current in a conductor. That matter that we burn/react/oxidize doesn't convert wholly to energy, though. Some of the physical waste products go into the atmosphere, changing how the air itself itself reacts to various energetic inputs, such as sunlight or radiative heat from urban centers. We literally convert matter that took millions of years to make into energies and waste matter that were not there in those quantities for those same millions of years, and the simple, basic physics of it is that the result of that conversion is waste matter and energies that serve to either directly increase heat energy (a small part of human-induced climate change) or change the energy storage properties of the largest, by mass, energy batteries around: the atmosphere and the oceans.

So, yes, when there are stronger hurricanes and more destructive tornadoes outlasting their historical durations and exceeding their historical energies, there is little else but temperature that causes that to happen. And, yes, it goes the same way for winter.

This same climate change can have a chilling effect on winters, due to the changes in the propagation of that energy-as-temperature affecting the jet stream or deep ocean currents. The atmosphere and the ocean are huge, dynamic, swirling masses of differing energies, and the weather we experience is a result of how those masses of air and water move, said motion being a product of their energies (again, temperature). Wind itself, hurricanes, storms, blizzards, tornadoes, etc. are all caused by the interaction of large masses of air at differing densities (itself one effect of temperature). The energy imparted to those air masses comes, in no small part, from the ocean.

I think if more people equated "temperature" with "energy", the layman's summaries of climate change may reach a few more skeptics. At least, the ones who want to learn.
Making immutable structures in Java truly does suck... this is the most valid complaint that I've heard in a long time about the language.

It would be extremely easy to implement properties as syntactic sugar in the language or via built-in annotations without changing the class file spec at all.
Which will result in a mistrial, then a new trial, then a new jury who doesn't have a lying jerk amongst them. You will have accomplished nothing but being a lying jerk. Before being put on a jury, you would have sworn an oath to decide the case based on the evidence provided during trial. If you decide that you don't want to do that and lie to get on the jury anyway, you've wasted everybody's time because you felt like being a jerk. Way to go, hero.
Is there any evidence that two masses don't attract ?
My mother uses her Dell laptop with an Ubuntu installed on it. It is usually great to maintain from my part, as all she uses is Chromium and the files explorer. I just update the software sometimes.

But something that started happening in the latest versions of Chromium is driving me nuts. Every time I talk to my mother in my native language in front of the laptop, the "Ok, Google" functionality activates and starts the search of the "parsed" English sentence in Google.

I tried to disable it but failed to find how.
Same in Germany. And the reason why so many smaller German companies existed in pretty much the same way for the past millenium.
Yes, you have to limit total fat, because it contains calories. You can only have so many calories. Therefore, by inescapable reasoning, there must exist a limit on total dietary fat for everyone. (Moreover, that limit cannot be 100% of your caloric intake, because 100% caloric intake from fat constitutes malnutrition.)

I work on a system that uses GPS data to figure out some metrics about roads. At that scale, the spherical model was not a useful approximation. It's been useful for drawing on top of Google Maps, but that's obviously because Google Maps chose it to keep straight lines rectilinear. The spherical model is a visually convenient model, but I don't think you can really do any serious calculations with it.

> The other issue is that human colonization has always been driven by "real" pressures like limited resources, war, or economic expansion.

This is true, but only after colonization had become an economic feasibility for those who weren't enormously wealthy.

After Columbus 'discovered' the Americas, nobody in their right minds would board the next ship to the Caribbeans because it was not clear there was any reason to go. It took the funding of governments and interested frontiersmen to do the exploration, much like what we will see on any interplanetary colonization.

Only until there is enough infrastructure and a semi-self sustaining economy on Mars, will there be a low enough cost and enough interest by entrepreneurial individuals.
Does this credential issue apply to Word/Excel/Powerpoint? It seems like this is something that the Outlook app is doing.
Well - that's true apart from co-incidence. You can have a very simple theory which says "x is directly caused by y" and there is a lot of good data, and a great fit. But it's kist a co-incidence and breaks down immediately.

Occam's razor is a rule of thumb and an aesthetic boon, but nothing more.

The real test is that you have a theory that is meaningful and has explanatory power. If it grants insight on the mechanisms that are driving the relationships or generating the data and these make sense - you are pretty golden.

Another one is that the theory makes unexpected predictions that you can then test. This is a real winner, and why complex physics is so well regarded.
So, you haven't actually been on a jury but you know all about the people on juries? Must be nice to be psychic.

We already know the full data set has a 1.2K/century trend (this is annual trend most commonly used to represent the data). Decadal moving averages aren't going to shed more light than that. We also know that if you just grab the last 19 years and 6 months, or any smaller subset of that, you'll see 0 to negative trends.

Ah yes the old "We're not arguing about how to do it, we're arguing about why you don't want to do it my way, which also happens to be the right way!"

Being a good software engineer is also about being able to articulate why a particular solution is the correct one and gain consensus rather than forcing a decision on people.
Just don't call the address "the El Camino road" which translates as "the the road road" which bugs the heck out of me.
I don't know if this is actually what happens, but I think in theory it could work like this:

1) They ask you during selection, while under oath, questions which amount do "are you aware of jury nullification, and/or, are you willing to apply the law"

2) You lie, and answer those questions with the answers they want, and get selected.

3) You refuse to convict, despite overwhelming evidence, because you're into the idea of nullification.

4) They somehow prove that you lied during step 2, while under oath.

How that 4th one works, I don't know. Does anybody have any examples of it happening?
The latter. Very few people need precise geolocation on Mars or any other non-Earth planet. But planets are not perfect spheres (mainly due to rotation), so treating them as such introduces errors.

private prisons seem to be the perfect example of when ethics are more important than profit motive

And when all costs (even extraneous societal ones) are considered in an all encompassing cost model, outlawing them would be the optimal course of action, anyway

The price of some things just seem severely disconnected from their actual value (or lack thereof)
This isn't about a producer complaining about users not consuming the content the right way. I'm not a producer, I'm a consumer, but that doesn't prevent me from noting when people are not acting in good faith. And that's how I see this, a lot of people not acting in good faith and rationalizing it through various excuses (myself included). Producers produce content and attach ads as a way to recoup the cost of producing and delivering that content. I feel confident in saying the vast majority of consumers understand their desire and motivations, even if they don't value those desires and motivations much. To take what they are offering while rejecting their conditions is not acting in good faith.
Really? You think it doesn't matter that the primary author on a paper about climate science doesn't even have an undergraduate-level education in the subject? That the second one credited has a history of accepting large sums of money to write papers endorsing spurious claims DIRECTLY RELATING to climate change?
Surely it only results in a mistrial if you don't get the rest of the jury to go along with you?

Or are there cases where the whole jury comes back with "not guilty", and a mistrial is declared because they didn't say "guilty"?

> "If you decide that you don't want to do that and lie to get on the jury anyway, you've wasted everybody's time because you felt like being a jerk. Way to go, hero."

Arguably wasting everybody's time is a form of civil protest. If every drug charge went through several mistrials before they managed to obtain a conviction, then DA's might be more hesitant to bring less egregious cases to trial.

Do you think that the act of nullification in general makes you a jerk? Or only when used in certain circumstances? Were Northerners who nullified for escaped slaves being jerks?
It'd be nice if there was a "Startup Portfolio" that's linked on HN which is basically a long list of startups that have been endorsed or blessed or backed by HN founders, supporters or alum.

> My null hypothesis is when does the trend turn positive since the last data point. I'm not trying to be a smart ass

I'm sure you're not, and certainly you seem to be making a good faith effort to analyse the data, but I'm afraid you're just doing it wrong. You can't just keep testing up to x data points till you hit a significance level and then say "this proves x-1 doesn't show the trend".

Imagine you were measuring the height of waves on a beach as the tide comes in. After 20 measurements, you can see a significant height difference, showing the tide is indeed rising. Now imagine if your stated conclusion was, "the tide hasn't been coming in for the last 19 waves".

It would be ridiculous, right? That's pretty much what you're doing here. If adding more data makes your conclusion worse, you're doing it wrong.

The correct way to test this is to say, "30 years of data shows a rising trend. Is the past 19 years significantly different to this?". Then your null hypothesis is that the trend remains the same and when you add more data your conclusion (either way) becomes stronger.

Since you've shown enough interest to create an R script to test this data, I sincerely hope you'll have enough interest now to test it properly and share what you find. Good luck!

The first four stages have always baffled me. Anyone who knows basic chemistry understands how carbon dioxide interacts with infrared radiation. Combine that with the fact that human activity is releasing tens of billions of tons of CO2 every year, which does not magically disappear. In fact, it's quite measurable.

The climate is complex, but the basic facts of the situation are incredibly simple and unavoidable. And yet, people have still tried.
All this does is clear the stack area prior to each Linux kernel call and check, at the instruction level, for stack pointer problems. That's nice, but narrow. The approach is to do this at boot time, which is kind of strange and may introduce more security errors.

It might be more useful to do this for all kernel calls other than the top 10. Vulnerabilities are more likely to be present in less-used system calls, where the code isn't exercised much. We know now that the "with many eyes, all bugs are shallow" meme is bogus. Much code in open source software barely gets looked at by anybody.

If this is useful, Linux kernel call code is very buggy.

This is, of course, a C problem. We've really got to get rid of C for anything security-critical.
Yeah, folks like to compare previous terrestrial colonization with interstellar (Mars). Its fabulously incomparable. Folks in the New World could expect food plants, neighbors, congenial weather for growing, even Oxygen. All of which are largely absent on Mars.

Let's plant a colony on the peak of Mt Everest first, as a kindergarten-level test of our readiness for Mars.

None of that changes your point, that you're still at the mercy / whim of a developer.
Personally I don't necessarily care much about "unspoiled". I just wish there was a place I could legally go without paying tribute to the world machine and be free from outside interference with my mere existence.

I've had to ban some unfortunately good games from my phone because the developer thinks that 2am is a good time to make my phone make a retention noise or beg me to buy in-game currency.

No, I don't believe the loading of a website automatically confirms my agreement with the terms of a contract. On the other hand, when the contract is made clear, if I take what is offered then I believe I am bound to the terms. Inthe case of website advertising, it's ambiguous, which allows people to hand-wave it away, but not so ambiguous that you can't realize you are taking something without having to pay the costs. So who's paying the costs? There is an implied contract[1] when you take services from someone who expects compensation in some form.

Most memegens are macros. They're free tools that allow almost anyone to quickly and easily create consistently-high quality memes that are appropriate for any situation at hand. Because it's next to impossible to get the general public to consistently use:

*A good source image
*All caps
*Impact font
*White text with a black border

Indeed, it's still hard to choose this set of options with the newest versions of MSPaint.

Macroing takes away opportunities for human error, which does reduce the opportunities for creative mistakes. But it makes output consistent, which is the desire here. No longer does someone have to spend a week learning about good source images, fonts, and border settings, and need Photoshop to combine them, just to make others laugh.

Lol, I like the sharing economy as much as the next person, but it's a pretty ludicrous name for itself. There's not really any sharing to be found here, just buying and selling.

Once the companies involved start being more reasonable with paying taxes and employees instead of trying to essentially skirt the law and be irresponsible corporate citizens, they'll be a great addition to our economy. As of right now, they just make a lot of money for a few people at the expense of the rest just like any other Mega-Corp would.

I like to think the tech community tries to make the world better rather than just scrounge for cash, but maybe I'm too much of an idealist.

This. It seems that it's acceptable in tech culture to use "you have too much stock" a reason to even underpay founders. This is busted logic, as the company could explode at any time, not to the fault of anyone in particular (but sometimes yes).

So far, I think I've been in 3 decent startups that all of which failed and do not exist anymore. None of them exited cleanly. Some might, but you might not want to stick it out that long, and those are often hard commitments to make depending on the work environment.

New grads and skilled developers alike should never be seduced by "we can't pay more , because we are startup, because we'll give you more options". Not only is the probability of success a factor, but so is dillution, and so is the chance that you won't see that money for 8-10 years even if things go well (long after a company is acquired).

Many sales can end in a net-loss, or only VCs get paid out. Sometimes the CEO nets a really nice private deal to run the new company (and has also been extracting a nice salary all along, probably).

Stock is free to give out, so a company is going to try to give you that instead of money. While it can be nice, possible payouts for most are going to be low, and often enhanced salary over that N years would have been better - and especially from an expected value calculation perspective.

Obviously, there are exceptions, but I'm a big believer that companies should share profits, and probably evenly, without regard to title hierarchy instead. I'd also scrap or outlaw 'executive' bonuses when the employee bonuses are not along the same lines in terms of flat value (not % rate).
> It’s pretty clear that the data does not support the conclusion that better dates are correlated to higher heart rates.

...so the post admits that correlation does not imply causation?

There are many, many reasons why a heart beat will spike. The number of spike is irrelevant. An average heartbeat for each date vs. average heartbeat for normal behavior would be a better comparison, but still flawed (e.g. coffee dates!).

Except we do have a pretty good understanding of the chemisty/physics of the greenhouse effect, too. So there's a prediction ("increased CO2 will lead to warming") and a validation. What more do they want?
