The noise is different but the signals are strikingly similar. That's a strong point in favor of the model IMO, but as I said this is a complex, subtle field in which I'm not an expert. Imagine how badly the popular media gets computer stor

IANAClimatologist. This[1] chart is not subject to the "missing data" problem; as cited by wikipedia it is composed from freely available data. In addition by including satellite data that is free of an entire class of measurement artifacts

With all due respect, you haven't answered the question. You've made a factual statement: "global temperature is falling." It should be trivial to back that statement up with evidence. You refuse to do so, and in doing so reframe your origi

> Except for the fact that global temperature is falling, not rising - dependent on how (and where) you measure it. Cite please. I'm not doubting your sincerity at all but this is not something I've heard presented as fact elsewhere.

Yeah, I've done the standard "nice make -j 4 bzImage" and noticed no detectable slowdown in normal browsing tasks, window movement, chromium/flashplayer etc. It does feel snappier as CK was going for but since I know I'm running bfs I'm s

I phrase this as "solve the first problem" whenever I explain my functionally identical method to others. Google tells me I have stolen Tilton's Law[1], the origin of which I will endeavor to remember in future. [1] http://smuglispweeny.bl

I parsed it as "resolve", or remove it from the plan because it's done.

I'm not going to try to follow LKML just for this but if anyone at HN has a benchmark they'd like me to try out on 2.6.30 Arch vs 2.6.30-bfs on a quad-core Xeon I'll give it a shot.

"Can't cope" may be overstating it, I parsed it as "not optimized for" which sounds fair.

According to the website the RX version is listed at US$13,995 which is a bit closer anyway.

Who knows. For a country with Japan's neighbors and no navy I'm sure it's not a potential vulnerability they're eager to create.

Other advantages: Windmills are vulnerable to disruption by anyone with a zodiac and some semtex, not to mention they have transmission issues of their own. A space-based solution has a far higher cost to threaten; you basically need to hav

A flag to output JSON would be nifty, then you could pass it through a filter [1] and get interweb-grep on steroids. [1] http://goessner.net/articles/JsonPath/

Or memoize the fetch function. Greasemonkey has support [1] for persistent data, it should't be hard to cache the info to only fetch the counts every n comments or x days. [1] http://diveintogreasemonkey.org/advanced/gm_getvalue.html

Two points. Firstly and most importantly thank you for keeping such a high standard of discourse. It's appreciated. Secondly, many of Mackey's points are sound policy: health insurance should be universally deductable (or not) and HSAs may

I'd love to see a non-commercial hobbyist license, either source or binary; that should let them commercialize it and let us play.

I'm sure this is unanswerable for (perfectly valid) IP reasons but I wonder what the differences between L4 and seL4 are? Is there a functionality difference in either direction?

I concur entirely, it's a risky bargain especially considering the temptation to fight rent-seeking with more regulation with the attendant second- and third-order effects. Well said.

Surely we build societies at least as much by our collective individual behavior as by centralized control? "Be the change you want to see in the world."

I'm not sure that rent seeking requires gov't intervention, I suspect there are instances of monopoly- or oligarchy-driven rent-seeking behavior but I don't have the desire right now to do a comprehensive search. Fundamentally I don't dis

As much hate as the subway gets when they get shut down from the rain a little context yields a lot more understanding: "We move 13 million gallons of water a day when it’s not raining." Mind boggling that any of it works at all.

I will not get angry at a context-free headline urging me to do so. I may get slightly annoyed that this kind of sensationalism stands here however.

That's a nice straw man you're arguing against. Lobbying for less regulation, lower taxes and free markets is one position. Lobbying for increased oversight of potentially damaging behavior, increased transparency in industry, reduced rent

Being flippant for a minute, if you want your users to have access to a box but not have a shell, a tool called "secure shell" may not be the wisest choice. Setting the default to frankly crippling levels for the primary function of a tool
