Screw consent. If I pull off some massive project like this what is another person/business/country going to do about? If someone "solves" climate for some value of solved are you going to invade them and start a war ove

I think he means its easy from a technology standpoint. There are still a ton of politics at play here. We know how to build solar, wind and nuclear plants, do that and just shut down coal power plants. That is like half. Then keep working

I think you have some causes and effect swapped. I suspect people pirate because some things aren't available in your area not the other way around. There are tons of cases where video game companies do things like release a Russian tr

It states that several other executives were charged. Even if this one person isn't an executive that one sentence makes it clear it this is more than a slap on the wrists for volkswagon. I suppose it might not well written, but it cer

In the newer C++ iterations (starting with C++17) there are parallel versions of nomral algorithms that accept an argument of type "ExecutionPolicy". These are supposed to be supplied by the platform, but hardware vendors could su

I downvoted nothing. I literally don't understand your comment and ignored it until I posted this.

The article called him an executive, it might be wrong. If the article is wrong then we should be talking about that (and the other executives that the article claims were charged) and not just presuming things.

How do we the title changed so it says this guy was an executive? At the time I write this post many comments are claiming the execs will go free and this guy just took a fall. The article clearly says this guy was a low ranking executive,

From having read the article I know that exactly that situation is likely the case. This guys some kind of executive engineer and several other executives were charged and just haven't gone all the way through processing yet.

This was was an executive per the article.

Read the article. This guy was an executive and 7 or 8 other executive were charged as well. He happened to be the executive in charge of engineering. He also plead guilty.

The article flatly says that this person an executive and that several other executives were charged. This thread is fulling of people who didn't read a tiny well written article.

Per the article this engineer was an executive.

The notes OP linked to indicate that there are more fixes included in this version. It is likely what importing a .doc in open office was 10 years ago. It proably works 99% of the time but that 1% will be right before an important deadline

You make it sound as though wishful thinking and impossible are benefits. Please don't complicate an already difficult situation this is a place where simple trolling for fun can and does cause real harm. Climate change deniers will po

By the violent crime statistics this is the point in time. But that has no relation to global warming or our (in)ability to deal with it. It might be too late or it might be no problem at all, but the current best research indicates it is g

We don't have that level of tech, you may as well have provided a story about merlin or gandalf. It may well actually be the doom of civilization as we know it, and should be treated as the existential threat it might be. We should be

Is the child wrong? Why or why Not? Things like taste are subjective. I am thirty something and don't like the majority of coffee and I don't drink beer or wine at all. I had a Mexican Coke (so much better than normal coke) in pre

Is it possible that the problem isn't publishers or authors, but rather readers and people in general? I know a retired journalist who worked for 20 something years. When started articles and film pieces used a strategy of jamming as m

The reason so few projects are rewritten in C/C++ is that many people know up front that their project will require that performance and just start there. If you are building a high end 3d video game with anything like current fancy gr

SWIG is amazing. I have usually taken a different approach so that I could get the scaling you talk about. I point SWIG at the real headers in my projects and use ifdefs to block out things don't want SWIG to see. There are also a few

I have used SWIG a great deal. Any time I have had leaks near it they were in my code or not really leaks and just quirks of the garbage collector in the Non-C language. I have used swig with Ruby, Lua and Java and it the code it makes does

Aetna is one of those companies that has no limits to the evil it will do.

You shouldn't be downvoted for normal and reasonable questions, or even for self doubt. Aetna is terrible. The lobby against healthcare reform at every turn. They didn't want obamacare/ACA they didn't want to compete ac

I agree that we shouldn't tolerate intolerance, right up until you said "round those people up and put them to death". Any state run mechanism for this will be abused and infringes on a whole bunch of other rights. Doing thi

It is not, but it is still interesting and closely related. The minorities in question were welcomed into society and empowered with votes then promptly voted to oppress another minority. There are clearly problems with this.

You are not wrong that there is no "free energy" but energy so much cheaper than now that its cost is a rounding error would does not roll off the tongue. An army of engineers is much cheaper than what we are doing now with oil, s

Surely there is some way to use nearly limitless energy to reduce temperatures or otherwise deal with this problem. There are many technologies we simply cannot use now because they aren't cost effective from an energy standpoint.
