If you are talking about the CO2 portion of it and focusing on the artificial sources than here is the chart you are looking for: http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/ghgemissions/sources.html Obviously you are missin

Well correlation is not causation. is it y=f(x) or y=x(f)? aka is is warmer because of the higher greenhouse gases or is there more greenhouse gases because of the warmer climate (that could have been caused by things like leaving an ice ag

No surprise there, Rich's code is pretty solid. I really like this sort of co-operation between languages. Out of curiosity: QuickCheck is a property based test library? I know of test.check in Clojure and they mention QuickCheck as th

Yeah similar story is happening to me. The USCIS denying my VISA transfer requests for no reason. They fail to provide anything other than utter bullshit.

Everything can be done, you can invest a lot of time to make your code run better on JVM and tune the GC settings etc. If you make the same investment into the Erlang ecosystem (like for example WhatsApp guys did) I think you could match th

Heh it was coming through at the first sight, you know it very well. " I know that and I'm a big fan of programming in it." Me too btw. :) I see your point, yes that is absolutely true. I think one reason why Erlang is great

I wish others would also appreciate a little bit of humor on HN, but everything like that gets downvoted all the time.

The value added here is a non-fragmented container ecosystem. This would be huge, at least to me.

It is kind of interesting that on one hand people are talking about how rewriting is bad (especially managers like to think that any subpar solution should be kept around just because it works 90% of the time) and the other side is how much

Saying removed 40% of something without knowing what is the original number and how it relates to other countries is not really informative. Greek pensions often outperformed German pensions and this is just wrong. The country essentially f

I am not sure if Germany at fault here, bringing in the euro was not forced by them and Greece was cooking the books to get in. http://www.forbes.com/sites/timworstall/2011/09/12/greece-wa... I thin

This is gold: "OPM CIO Donna Seymour said that systems couldn't simply have encryption added because some of them were over 20 years old and written in COBOL."

We should just call lobbying the same way it is called in other countries: corruption. The problem with legalizing corruption that corporations gain way to much power.

I never liked Pandora, I was forcing myself to use it but they have limited music and their recommendation engine was a joke. It might work for hip-hop vs. heavy metal context but when it comes to sub-genres in electronic music not so much.

All correct what you are saying. This was exactly my point that Bandcamps revenue goes to artists (mostly).
