What's really happening is you're increasing the whole range of possible behavior. You're increasing the insanity of the system. Four hurricanes? Try six all on top of each other, then nothing for months, then bam, the largest hurricane in recorded history, completely impossible to cope with. It becomes impossible to make ANY prediction, even to the extent of 'what a hurricane can be'.
Great explanation, thanks. The best description I found for the weather here during the last few years was : weird.
Yes. And the biggest problem is that he seems to be very intelligent, hard-working, talented, and... megalomaniac. I suppose he thinks he's on par with Linus, even though he has maybe 5% of his insight and experience.
Could someone please explain? I'm not well versed in US politics, and don't understand what that would achieve. What's the problem, and what would his proposal do? Thanks in advance.
You jest, but that's the exact purpose of many "How strong is your password?" websites. They get a nice dictionnary of real-life uncommon passwords. On a related note : https://xkcd.com/792/
I'm 33, and I listened to Neil for most of my life. Old man, Heart of Gold, The needle and the damage done, Hey Hey my my, out on the weekend, Southern Man. Those are all good powerful songs. He doesn't always sing perfectly in tune, but I find it acceptable since he really brings emotions to his songs.

My most productive hours are from 10pm till midnight, at home. Everybody else is sleeping, nobody calls, no colleague can bother me. I listen to a CD I've listen to a few hundred times, and I work in a very focused manner on important new features or bugfixes. Before going to bed, I send a short email to my boss describing what I did.
After about a week, we have our usual meeting, during which colleagues say "we should do this and this, it'll probably take a month or two", with the hope that they won't be the ones having to do it. I just tell them "No problem, I did it yesterday night". Everybody's happy. I tell my boss I'd like to take my day off, and go skateboarding.
So for me, it began by working the usual 9 to 5, adding some very productive overtime, and showing my colleagues and boss that I don't actually need the 9 to 5.
My GF got post-partum psychosis 4 years ago. She spent 2.5 years in the hospital, trying new medications combination (including electroshock therapy and strong, old drugs that are kinda forbidden now) every 2 month. She's healthy now and we're a happy "normal" family again. But oh boy, we went through hell, and I'm happy to have forgotten half of those damn symptoms and side effects that we've seen during those years. E.g. : * Hearing friendly voices that advice her to jump from a bridge * Forgetting her name or the city we live in * Parkinson symptoms that'd make Muhammad Ali proud * Stealing my mobile phone, because hers was allegedly bugged * Looking like a zombie * Living in a separate universe with no link whatsoever to ours * Leaving our daughter (6 months old) alone at the mall

It might be a bit too advanced for you, but my older sister really is born before me!
Many extinct species would beg to differ.

There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things.

Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure!

+ affordable oil and a non-screwep up climate.
Golden age indeed.
Okay, thanks for the explanation.
From the title, I thought it's a global study.
It's not like the atmosphere care about the nationality of CO2.
No. What are your sources? Here are mine, from BP 2015 :

"Actively flown" with a one-way latency of 4.5 hours.
Navigating an oil tanker must feel like go-kart in comparison.
Ever heard of global warming?
Using all the oil/gas/coal is not an option.
Also, depriving us of petroleum products is not the best idea.
Or we could just wait till we don't have any cheap oil left.
This is really scary, it will happen, but nobody cares.
And there always will be oil on earth, and this exponential growth will never be a problem in our finite world.
Amen.

Not only that, but Mario Draghi (former managing director of Goldman Sachs) is now the president of the European Central Bank.
But it's okay, because
This unelected thief has more power than many european presidents.

Pretty please, new horizons/NASA?
I always loose my mind when I see idiots writing rouge instead of rogue.
It really effects me deeply.
Wait, what?

I still cannot believe she's perfectly fine now.
