Agreed: you have to read the papers, or literature reviews by experts, to convince yourself. I'm a physicist and when it comes to physics, the articles journalists write might as well be completely made up. The AGW papers I've rea

These aren't "temperatures at a specific point in the planet at a specific instant". Rather temperature averaged globally, the mean temperature of the whole planet.

This is a very good point. Once the science is clear and solid, those who want to effect political change based on it still have to do the work of presenting it in a way that makes "common sense" by being relatable. Otherwise it&#

I mean, not even the Oxygen Holocaust was world-ending. Not sure that's the bar we want to measure our actions against :)

And that's fine, given that I nor that commenter have the data. But if you believe your critique against the science of the matter is something the whole set of climate scientists happen to have overlooked for decades, the burden is on

I don't have the data, and it'd be a cool trivia to know. I don't think corradio said "incredibly unlucky" because he just flipped a coin. Rather because if the probability weren't so, global warming, as an unp

You say it's calculable and I agree. What's make you think it isn't calculated? Sorry if I came out as obnoxious, but "you should be able to calculate that" is a veiled accusation that it is in fact not calculated,

That's what's called a "p-value", and as you guessed it is indeed calculated. It's a basic tool of science, to the point that even better probabilistic tools have been advocated for years, and it's one of the f

We're talking about a pile of papers that have been accepted at Nature and Science over a span of decades, not a paper about how Agile is the best programming methodology.

Tricky for sure, as in it requires scientists to understand statistics and probability. Thankfully, many do, and many university departments hire mathematicians to keep the quality there high.

Is it "stock Android" from the Android repo, or "stock Android" from the chipset manufacturer's fork? And will the carriers keep it untouched?

What makes you think so? There's plenty of ways to indirectly know past temperatures, even if there wasn't a human writing it down.

If we're talking about annual average temperature, what doesn't make sense is thinking about 5min ago.

No, the comment didn't claim that. Rather that it didn't start from scratch in a barren land, instead it started by abusing those people for advantage.

Padding a code commit with extra whitespace, in indentation, between operators and operands, and trailing the lines, isn't rocket science. As another commenter said, you then helpfully fix the style in the following commit.

It's not so inconceivable, after seeing the PDF collision, to contribute to another project a commit whose hash has a collision with another malicious commit you keep up your sleeve. Not saying it's easy, but now it's on the

Your same argument has been made by others in a less histrionic and rude way, and upvoted.

I don't think successfully going after establishment and entrenched interests is incompatible with being decent.

by euyyn 10y ago
So the way to "collect" those coins is to post the solution to the hash collision and, as a followup challenge, something encrypted with your public key so only you can decrypt it later on. Correct?

Plus mobile apps do get, and usually handle, a low-memory notification from the OS.

Ah, yeah, coding the OAuth2 flow in a new language (vs using an existing library) is tricky, at the very least because OAuth2 itself is complex. The best docs I know for that are here https://developers.google.com/identity&#
