Here's another author with a similar experience.

Unlike payback for playbacks, Amazon's got a solid monetization plan behind KDP. It's also difficult to game too.

Have a look at Early Warning. You'll have to root around a bit for the climate entries (some are oil, some are economic), but a recent few point out the medium-term possibility of killer droughts, and the long term possibility of not-necessarily so bad. The main issue that is very hard to appreciate (hard for me, too) is that it takes a long time (many decades, maybe centuries) to reach equilibrium. The heat capacity of the oceans is ginormous., meaning that they can absorb an extraordinary amount of energy without their temperature changing much.

What that means in the short term is that we may (articles mentioned in EW, above) hit a point where the land is warm, but the oceans are relatively not. This leads to less precipitation over land. Long-term, land and oceans are in thermal equilibrium, not so much drought, but that is not predicted to happen for centuries. A century or so of drought would suck. Centuries-from-now-equilibrium might be better, assuming that you trust the models.

Another issue caused by oceans-are-enormous is that yearly variation really does swamp slow steady change, depending on which part of the ocean is warming or cooling the air that happens to be blowing our way. We're having an insane "warm" winter here in the Northeast, but it is allegedly caused almost entirely by a change in the Arctic Oscillation -- not Nina/Nino, not global warming. It's a wind pattern, apparently it can change in a matter of weeks. AO trends might be affected by global warming, but people are still arguing about that.

It's also virtually guaranteed that centuries from now the oceans will be many meters higher. Other papers, also referenced from EW, mention this. Hansen has several; one of his principal worries is that he sees geological evidence of the oceans rising 20 meters over 400 years -- that is, a meter every 20 years. Could that happen to "us"? When would it start? What we don't know is how this actually happens, because it's a rate of glacier flow into the ocean that would be outside of anything we've ever observed, and "explosive". Reasons to be nervous about this include: the IPCC explicitly ignores sea level contributions from ice caps melting; the IPCC predictions of arctic sea ice melting have turned out to be grossly over-conservative; recent satellite observations of Greenland's ice cap show an accelerating rate of loss (but accelerating how? Too early to tell).

Most of the people that have refused so far and thus been banned from flying were British citizens.

Wow, they ban you from flying for refusing the scan? In US they just get really friendly with you.

DUI is the one case where this doesn't come into play. But frequently GBH, ABH, robbery and theft are mitigated with booze or drug related issues.

If we assume the first step as true, then cars are not the only thing that emit CO2, and in fact they're not even in the top 10. There are lots of other things that will make more difference to the climate if we cut them than cars.

Have you ever actually looked at the amount of CO2 and other pollutants released by automobiles. I have. I tallied the numbers back in 2008.

34,254,000 Tons of Hydrocarbons, 260,462,000 Tons of Carbon Monoxide, 30,707,400 Tons of Oxides of Nitrogen and 5,086,605,000 Tons of Carbon Dioxide. These numbers are from just one year and only from automobiles and light trucks. It doesn't include trains, ships, airplanes or factories.

We put out more carbon dioixide in three-five days than the entirely of volcanoes do in a year. http://www.usgs.gov/newsroom/article.asp?ID=2827

Would you like to rethink your statement.

Be careful friend, if its anything like the Shat's it may come gunning for you!

You obviously didn't understand what I was talking about *at all*. You mentioned VirtualBox, Fusion 4, and Parallels. Try running OS X in VirtualBox or Parallels without using a hacked up OSx86 version. Oh wait you can't.

You did not say "run OS X virtually" or any such wording, you said How about virtualization? Let's now look at virtualizing OSX, Google is your friend...

• How to Virtualize OS X Lion on Windows
• How to Run Mac OS X in VirtualBox on Windows
• How To Run Leopard (Retail) in VMware Fusion - Virtualize OSX on your Mac
• [Updated] Virtualize OS X Lion 10.7 Windows 7
• OS X Lion Allows Running Multiple Copies on the Same Machine (Virtualization)

That's 5 of Google's more than 150,00 results. Are you again going to say I didn't understand what you meant?

You apparently didn't bother to *read* any of the links you gave, otherwise you'd find out that all of them are illegal methods as they are violations of the EULA, and your last link even explains why they are illegal. Again, you can't virtualize OS X client prior to Lion at all, you can virtualize OS X Server and OS X Lion client, but only if you are running on OS X as a host OS, ie not VMWare ESX or Citrix XenServer, or Microsoft Hyper-V, or any other bare-metal hypervisor, in other words, a useless non-feature.

In response to my asking about terminal services, you respond "OSX has terminal". Clearly you have no idea what I'm talking about and didn't even bother to do the five seconds of googling to find out.

Just like you didn't spend the fives seconds to Google virtualize OSX. You didn't bother doing what you accuse me of not doing, Google terminal services osx. When I just did Google suggested "terminal services osx" and "terminal services osx client". I'm sure you're competent enough to look at some of the results yourself, if not I see no reason to continue.

Again, you clearly didn't bother to give even a cursory glance at the results. Half of them are forum posts asking if OS X will ever have the ability to host terminal services (because it doesn't at the moment), and the other half are TS *clients* for accessing *Windows* terminal servers. The one relevent link, iRAPP, explicitly says that in order to conform to Apple's EULAs, they only allow multiple connections to OS X Server, not Client, which misses the entire point of having terminal services in the first place, and again makes it nothing more than VNC with a few more bells and

Yes there were some minor plot holes, but overall it was a wonderful book(my review). Bacigalupi is one of my new favorite writers.

How about this ?

Flight International test pilot -- and former Red Arrows team leader -- Peter Collins gives the Dassault Rafale a ringing endorsement in this week's magazine. "If I had to go into combat, on any mission, against anyone, I would, without question, choose the Rafale," Collins concludes in his six-page flight test report published in our Dubai Air Show preview issue.

In 2010, there was a Red Flag exercise. Rafale won 6 out of 7 fights (lost the long-range due to F-22's improved stealth). In medium range it still wins because its cameras can see the F-22. Even in Dassault this was a surprise, as the internal motto is "second only to the F-22." As for the F-35, who cares about a plane that nobody but the US can afford (read: are willing to finance so to keep jobs), if even.

America is a great country, but it's not the best country. There's no best country. America is barely a teenager in the history of nations, and it fucking shows by how dumb some of you guys are.

For the record, I Googled as you suggested, and I don't think there's anything to be ashamed of. History didn't start 100 years ago. Also keep in mind that until recently (and especially in the middle ages) the power of balance was not as, well, unbalanced as it is today for the US so these victories actually meant something. Having a fucking 100 years war of attrition is not like dropping "smart" bombs on Fallujah.

I think I got trolled.

Which means, build a slave strobe that spots the strobe and fires back. http://strobist.blogspot.com/2008/06/and-now-few-words-from-tourist-standing.html
You could do it with LEDs, too. Might mess up the look of the back of your car.

Or, somewhat lower tech, if you have a white car, use some white retroreflective tape to put your own distracting shapes on the car; the strobe will illuminate those, too, and they will confuse its license-plate detector.

Because $1.99 puts it in the region of an impulse buy. It's less than you spend on a cup of coffee. This means that people who would previously have made the effort to pirate something will go "ah - screw it", and pay up, if they are getting an equivalent product.

Take a look at articles on Hollywood Accounting - that is far more responsible for taking money out the hands of content creators than piracy.

You honestly think films that gross over $600M just at the box office, are making a loss? Of $167M dollars? And then they go on to make 3 more? (this is Harry Potter 5 - after which they made 6, 7a, and 7b). You think that businesses will make films just because they can't bear to disappoint the fans? That's not even believable in a Hollywood movie. In any other business, a product that made a huge loss would never get a sequel - but they did it three more times for HP? Just because they love JK Rowling so much? Get real.

You need to get a better contract. One that stipulates a percentage of the gross.

D-Wave is selling snake oil. Their so-called quantum computer is pure hogwash. The main reason that quantum computing is nonsense is that it is based on the pseudo-scientific concept of quantum state superposition. The problem is, superposition is not observable by definition. It is just a silly interpretation of QM. Superposition is nonsense on the face of it since any child can tell you that nothing can be its own opposite. Physicists do not understand why quantum interactions are probabilistic and yet they feel knowledgeable enough to conjure up all sorts of cockamamie Star-Trek physics that make no sense. The actual reason that quantum interactions are probabilistic is that there is no such thing as a time dimension. Therefore, nature cannot calculate the exact timing of interactions and is forced to use probability. Conservation laws are momentarily violated but are obeyed in the long run. Why is there no time dimension? Because a time dimension makes motion impossible. Surprise! This is the reason that time travel is crackpottery and that Sir Karl Popper compared Einstein to Parmenides and called spacetime, "Einstein's block universe in which nothing happens". From Science: Conjectures and Refutations. Don't take my word for it.

False. Economic scholarship on government spending multiplier effect is all over the map, from negative numbers to +3x or so. There's no "economics says" consensus number. "Economics says it's 2x" is therefore simply false.

Apple is now a Patent Troll... have they so given up on innovation that they can on live on shady backroom deals and the charity of a judge?

However, I don't think any of them are Patent Trolls since you can't tell me that any one of them don't research and innovate to a large degree. But I guess "Patent Troll" has now become subverted, just like "Bricked" did.

BTW I feel I have to say this: I DON'T agree with what they are doing, I'm just pointing out your hypocrisy and selective representation of the facts.

Fact is that Samsung created a tablet that looks very similar to an iPad, and that similarity was intentional. Other tablets do _not_ look that similar. And it is obvious that Apple doesn't like it. Whether Apple has a case legally or not doesn't matter that much; the message sent is "if you try to sell devices that we think are copying our devices then you'll end up in court, and we make it as inconvenient as possible for you". There are plenty of other devices where Apple could have sued over the same patents, but they don't because the _reason_ for suing is not the patents, but the similarity of the product design.

As far as "Other tablets do _not_ look that similar" goes Apple would beg to differ.
Yes apple is anti-competitive in the fact that they will drag you into court over trivial similarities. They took the very common flat slate concept and filed a patent on it. One thing they are very good at is using the ideas and concepts of others and claiming them as their own while convincing the faithful that it was all their idea. Prior art be damned. Keep swallowing the talking points of Apple's PR dept. though don't let the facts get in the way.

I consider myself a Libertarian, and yes I make a living because of copyright.

Correction: you take advantage of copyright to make a living. If there was no copyright, I believe that you would still make a living; possibly in a different field, possibly utilizing your other talents, possibly more successfully, possibly even benefiting society more than you do now.

I also think that piracy is rampant.

And I think that fornication is rampant.
And it was also rampant in the state of Virginia before 2005 (It was a criminal offence until Martin v. Ziherl).
Doesn't make it wrong though.

A LOT of people don't realize it is wrong.

Correction: A LOT of people don't AGREE that it is wrong.
And maybe, just maybe, the same "A LOT of people" are right about this.

But the general feeling I get from the average slashdotter is "copyright is evil because I want free stuff."

Funny. The arguments that I hear are that copyright -- in its current reincarnation -- creates artificial scarcity, locks down culture, limits the freedom of expression, robs the public domain, etc. Some of them laid down more logically are presented more eloquently than others but then, not everyone is a natural public speaker.

I hear time and again how the publishers are screwing the creators

Dont' they?

or the general public

Dont' they?

I think that things like SOPA are bad. But not that copyright should be abolished.

And I think that it should be. But then, I also believe that corrupt politicians and dirty cops should be thrown in jail to rot and corporate officers should be legally responsible for the actions of their respective corporations so it tells you how much my ideas are worth.

I also think there are a lot of people here who thing they way you think in that it is a matter of principle. BUT the noisiest argument tends to "I want my shit for free"

Then perhaps you should pay more attention to the quietly stated reasonable arguments and learn to tune out the noise.

Of course these people then call the "mafiaa" greedy

Aren't they?

Of course. But then there wouldn't be a war, to distract the extremely disgruntled American people from their currently solidying intent to overthrow their corporate and political masters.

This is right up there on the crazy scale with shape-shifting reptoids from Mars causing 9/11, just so you know.

I'm not even sure why you'd think those in power would be worried about "overthrow". The only (minor) threat to the right in recent years was the Tea Party, but that seems to have come and gone as a disruptive force (and predictably so, despite ousting a few incumbants). The threat to the left is the slow-motion collapse of socialism, but since that's happening in Europe first (and we'll probably skate by until the next economic downturn) it gives plenty of time to figure out a new sales pitch that will keep those in charge of the current socialist left still in charge of the new whatever-ist left when the money runs out.

No one on either side has any need for "riling up the populations against perceived theats and enemies" to stay in power.

is resulting in an explosive political situation (just like the 1930s) which will likely (if things continue as they are) result in the Third World War

This is true enough in Europe, where things are really falling apart, but in case you aren't looking closely, WW3 is already in progress! Nothing of real value can be taken by armies these days, so the war isn't being fought with armies, but I'm still betting on German conquest.

You fucking Apple zealots just don't get it. Steve Jobs himself said that copying others was a great strategy. And he proved it. The first iPhone was a functional clone of the LG Prada that was available months earlier and the current iPhone 4 looks almost identical to the original LG Prada including shape, screen size, color and even the placement of the camera.

Now, the reasonable, sane way to deal with this would be for the professor to pause briefly and say [...]

...Yapping and nipping at your heels like a rabid Chihuahua only works if you're cute.

So is that the lil' tyke's strategy?

There's been some really promising work in the direction of OCR-like problems lately. Here's an algorithm that can efficiently learn a small dictionary of symbols (like letters) and decompose a signal into elements that fit within this "low-rank" dictionary plus sparse noise (bugs squashed on the text?) plus Gaussian noise: https://sites.google.com/site/godecomposition/.

It's not literally magical, but it's super-duper awesome (an no, I'm not an author of this one) and it should contribute to the minor revolution in signal processing (compressed sensing & low-rank matrix completion) that's been gaining momentum since about 2005. If our machines can learn features efficiently and robustly from natural images, many industries are in for a wild shake-up. More on this minor revolution is available at http://nuit-blanche.blogspot.com/.

These algorithms are part of the reason why self-driving cars are starting to work, and I have the excited feeling like we're on the cusp (read, next ten years or so) of a sea change in our ability to have machines able to understand and interact with the physical world with a dash of common sense.

According to NYT and this blog post about the NYT article:
"The least expensive part of the process is manufacturing and assembly." Approximately $6.54 and "workers are paid less than a dollar an hour to solder, assemble and package products". Say manufacturing is two hours of labour the rest is overhead, if non-Chinese workers were paid $30/hour then the increased cost is approximately $60, depending on overhead.

Apple could easily reduce the $360 that goes into design, marketing and profit so that prices could stay the same. Some combination of increased price and reduced profits would be a good trade for reduced suffering and local manufacturing.

This is all completely silly. Everyone that goes to school is learning about discoveries the previous generations made. We build on them, simplify what came before, etc. It all evens out. The fact that you can't understand that puzzles me.

Also, alot is an imaginary creature. A lot is what you are looking for. If you're going to stick it to someone about education, you should probably take care to actually proof read what you are writing a little better. :)

Sure you could. And expect a lawsuit. Most likely, 30s will cover enough of the song that you could just copy, paste, and have almost the whole thing. And 30 seconds of a 4.5 minute song is a much larger percentage of a 22.5 minute broadcast (if it was the 30-minute nightly news).

To anybody who reads the parent: yes, those debt numbers sound impressive. However, ultimately they are just the necessary counter-part to giving the private sector the monetary assets that it desires. This was understood a long time ago, see e.g. here. More recently, Modern Monetary Theory economists have been pushing the same point. If you haven't yet, I recommend you set aside some time to read introductory explanations e.g. here and here and here.

The bottom line is this: targeting a specific size of the budget is bad policy. The budget will be whatever it has to be to match the behaviour of the private sector. Artificial austerity, as is being proposed these days, is coercion of the private sector to go against its natural behaviour, even when that natural behaviour is benign. In other words, austerity actually means an oppressive and draconian government. Deal with it.
