People need to realize that the effects of global warming are at this point unstoppable. No conservation effort and certainly no carbon dioxide removal program could possibly show an effect for decades. At which point the damage will already be done. Money would be much better spent preparing for sea level rise etc than trying to prevent it. Not to be a downer but the number of people killed by famine, drought, sea level rise, etc will probably be more effective at curbing CO2 output than any policy measures.
Doesn't this really just show how poorly the drivers are doing? Why would anyone pay a fee to get their money now instead of at the end of the week or month? Because they have absolutely no money! Also reinforces the poverty by taking the money from people who have no choice but to pay up.
Its more likely to ask why wouldn't you want a smart tv. Otherwise its one more device, two more wires, one more power brick wasting energy, one HDMI port used and extra complexity for non nerdy gadget types.
The answer is because Smart TV UI's always suck (performance too) and that the tv manufacturers can be counted on to do stupid things no one ever asked for. Like including microphones and cameras (could easily be add-ons for the rare people who actually want it), and injecting ads into tv streams.
Thes extra gadgets only exist in the wake of the TV manufacturers ineptitude.
I guess I was thinking someone could get the thing booted off a linux disk and figure out how to address the various radios. Then build support from the ground up.
the problem with just spoofing the server is that your iphone apps would also have to be spoofed and that might prove to be more difficult. Right? I never owned one but I thought you needed an app to control it.
Someone please correct me (I wasn't worried about that not happening). But doesn't the DMCA allow for a home brew software updates in the case of no longer supported hardware? The Resolv box seems very nice and functional. I am looking forward to a legal home-brew solution to make this a great platform now that google has gotten out of the way...
I don't think an AI would qualify as intelligent unless it can realize that human beings are the entire problem and the world would be better off without them. So its obvious that any AI, advanced enough, will try to kill us all.
The article was about removing Natural Selection from the texts. Anyone who doesn't realize the animals (and corporations and products) are a result of adopting to their environments, is not going to fare well in any form.
Any jobs you know of require an ability to think independently and analyze available evidence? How about an accurate view of themselves and how they relate to the world and living things? My thinking was that I wouldn't want someone that poorly prepared representing my company in any way.
There aren't enough jobs for kids anyway. If one or three states choose (on their own accord) not to prepare their children to compete in the job market the rest of us should be happy. If you live in one of those states, vote the idiots out or move. Case closed.
Braun was out because you aren't allowed to pass a baserunner. So the minute they were in the same place he was out. But Segura thought he was out and started walking off the field. No one tagged him at that point though and he was near ehough to first base that by the time someone figured it out he got there before anyone tagged him. But then he tried to steal second again and got caught, double idiot
As a programmer I am inundated with people telling me their iPhone/ipad app ideas. Most of them are pretty good, and with enough work could be decent and useful apps. I tell them all the same thing. The most time consuming part of development is figuring out the UI, interactions and workflow. These are things they could do on their own with pencil and paper.
If someone came to me with an app idea and had all of the screens and interactions thought through and designed I would jump at it. Because I could make that into an app quickly and easily. So I wouldn't bother learning coding, learn to do mock ups and design workflows. It is necessary for creating good apps anyway and you already know all you need to for a start.
The obvious solution is that you need to eliminate the cable companies ( I can't get FIOS ). Why is it that every TV I have requires a big ugly loud cable box that uses more electricity than my refrigerator, even when off! Also I'm paying a ton of money for channels I don't watch just to subsidize Cablevision's salary structure.
Plus it all runs over this crappy coax network in my house (even though every place I have a coax jack I also have an ethernet jack. I run into problems trying to add extra tv sets since the splitters are all dumb.
The internets role has been to eliminate middle men in all fields, I can't wait until the crap accumulating, junky hardware renting unnecessary appendage that the cable companies have become are gone.
Yes, and its very disrupting to the current clientele. Our yoga studio offered a groupon and what we got was a month or two overcrowded classes, and a bunch of angry regular customers who want to know why they are paying so much more for their classes. She ended up having to extend the offer to everyone for a month to quiet them down.
Plus the GroupOn people were almost universally idiots.
In the end code reviews are only as good as the person doing the reviews. SO yes, having your best coder look over everyones code is a very beneficial thing. But I've never worked anywhere code reviews worked because no manager wants to lose his best programmer to reviews. So he has some underling do it and you get useless feedback.
Isn't it possible they won't charge the consumers, but instead take payments from ISPs to clear their traffic? Around here FIOs and Cablevision are in a death match to get subscribers. If only one of them were able to have subscribers viewing Hulu that would be a clear advantage. The other would have to counter. How much is that worth?
Why isn't this getting more attention? I believe it solves most of the problems notes, and if it had as much money behind it as the Iraq War did it would be solved by now.
There is nothing that justifies putting up an ad blocker, and everyone knows it. When you come to my website you look at ads, if you choose not to then do not come to the site.
If you didn't know blocking ads was wrong why does the ad blocking software go out of its way to be indetectable??
If you want to use adblocker make it easy for a website to detect, then I have the ability to shut you down. Without that then the only purpose behind using the software is stealing. I also shouldn't have to say that if everyone blocked ads most of the free and useful sites would disappear very quickly.
I mean I probably think the guy is a kook, but can any of you really guarantee he is wrong? No, the history of science is of people being proven wrong. You are all just biased because you love wifi.
In the Seventies a bunch of people built everything out of asbestos because they hated fire, and thought that anything that didn't show up in a 3 month test was non-existent. In fact history is littered with seemingly innocuous devices that ended up causing great harm. And for those asking for proof, I believe people are markedly crazier than they were 5 years ago, so yes I think it is plausible.
Birds have been shown to react to magnetism, why not humans?
Well might not the end result of this be that Mars was once exactly like us?
When you look at how long mankind has to evacuate the planet it seems this could shorten that time quite a bit. The core of the earth will cool long before the sun goes red dwarf.
Maybe we should be looking into terraforming Venus.
I'd also like to point out that the history of science is a history of being the smartest people on the planet being wrong.
So don't throw numbers that you couldn't possibly back up with fact and think that they make me feel any better.
Personally I figured God would stop the LHC from running if it were that dangerous, and so far that still gives me more comfort than your napkin back calculations.
well of course it was debug code left in by mistake. The real question is how does debug code like this get in there without clear processes in place to make sure it never gets released to the public.
I'll chalk it up to google growing pains since its the fist product they've ever shipped (yes I'm ignoring those indexing boxes they sell). Selling an OS that runs locally is alot different then deploying server based apps.
So hopefully they see this as a wakeup call and create some release protocols. Otherwise this is going to be a rocky road for them
Most cocoa heads are well acquainted with the cocoadev wiki. Its job page seems to get alot of action. I know I've seen Apple post jobs there.
http://jobs.cocoadev.com/
Most experienced Cocoa programmers will cost you between $100 and $200 an hour. Maybe you can get someone to bid by the job and get it cheaper. Also if you are willing to deal with someone doing the work part time it should get even cheaper, especially if your project is interesting.
Less experienced programmers might take less to get a foot in the door or something for their resumes. The open source thing would probably help, I think I would prefer to work on a open source project and would be more likely to take a job if it was going to be open. But as far as determining rate I'm not sure it would affect things too much. I'll charge by the difficulty and time required.
So if you do want an experienced cocoa programmer and don't mind someone part time, leave some contact onfo in your reply. I can get back to you.
I loved the glossy screen on my MacBook, but at work I recently got a new iMac and I hate it. I guess its our lighting but the glare is right in the middle of the screen. Pointing it down is a very annoying solution. Any recommendations on anti glare screens?

they didn't get all of them obviously lol.

doesn't sound crazy, sounds like the money goes out as fast as it comes in. Otherwise any sane person would keep the $180 / year.
Doesn't this really just show how poorly the drivers are doing? Why would anyone pay a fee to get their money now instead of at the end of the week or month? Because they have absolutely no money! Also reinforces the poverty by taking the money from people who have no choice but to pay up.
