I'm fail to see how step 2 leads to step 3. The fact that there are less woman programmers overall should not have any affect on P(good|woman,programmer).

The real question is: Why should you watch them at all?

So who responded to emergencies during the strike? The state police, or did they have a contingency of NYPD still working?

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume the page itself has ads. Umatrix is reporting blocked requests from the usual culprits: googlesyndication, google-analytics, facebook, consensu.

Scissor keys are the old ones that everyone likes. It was butterfly keys that people have the problem with. Apple is going back to the good ones.

Wow, this makes way more sense than in the press release. Scihub is a treasure.

>Brendan Eich made a public donation He meant private, as opposed to corporate. I'm not aware if it's even possible to hide charitable donations from the public eye.

Very true, Google can be much worse. I still use Firefox. But whenever Mozilla asks for donations, this is still in the back of my mind.

It only crashes for me after it automatically updates. The devs set it to intentionally crash when you open a new tab. I don't know if that makes it better or worse really. Edit: Here's the related bugzilla report https:/&#x

>Also, coming from a company who fired his CEO for a private donation made 10 years earlier, claiming it’s a privacy-respecting company is rich. I have to admit this does make me not want to support the Mozilla foundation.

Well yeah. This isn't a game like Civilization where countries lagging behind have to develop the steam engine while everyone else is on space age tech. You can put solar panels in Africa today.

Yet the actual results have been disappointing. China's carbon emissions have only continued to increase since 2016, whereas most other countries have been decreasing emissions. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia&#x

Sure. You're just not allowed to claim it's lightweight.

Yes. The difference it that it's "30 years away" and not "probably 30 years away"

>Building a conventional fission plant can easily cost $10B. $200M is laughable The budget for ITER is 20b. The UK is only pitching in 200m. Other countries are pitching in the rest. The USA already pitched in $1b for example. The articl

Nah, we have a clear timeline today. Right now, we have fusion reactors that consume more power than they produce. Now we're developing ITER, which will produce more power than it consumes, but will only run for 20 seconds at a time. O

It's part of the ITER project, which will receive 20 billion euros over the project's lifetime from participating nations.
