No, there are a few scientists pointing at coral dieback, and global warming and shouting 'See! Correlation!' Of course it is very simple to test, and you will notice that these particular scientists do not actually do such tests. The ones who do (and the ones with ANY idea of coral history and historical ocean acidity) realise this is a load of bull.
Almost certainly coral dieback is caused by actual chemical pollution. You know, the stuff everyone ignores now that they have the bigger (and much more profitable) boogeyman of CO2..
As it happens, pollution caused coral dieback is also the cause of the 'pacific atoms vanishing below the rising oceans'. This, again is well known by the actual scientists who have studied it, and is clearly shown as the islands with overpopulation are the ones sinking, and the nearly islands without humans are growing.. damn facts getting in the way!
The problem is politics and money.. Pacific islands want money, and ocean researchers want money, and the evil global warming means money!
You do realise that when a plant dies and rots (burns? really? that is a tiny TINY proportion) then the majority of the carbon in it ends up in soil, not as a gas, right?
I know you probably dont try this much in your inner city apartment, but try spending a bit of time in the real works. This is exactly where SOIL comes from. I can guarantee you that if you put a box of lawn clippings on the ground somewhere, they do not evaporate into CO2.
There is of course some gas release (and a number of gasses), however the majority ends up captured. Go dig up some soil under a nice deciduous tree and you will find the soil is MUCH richer there..
WHY is this not being allowed for in predictive models? Why should this is new to the people working on this?
We are regularly told how old the knowledge that atmospheric CO2 increases heat trapping is (and that is true). And yet, models do not allow for increased plant growth rates, and increased total living biomass thanks to increased rain, increased average temperature, and increased CO2... The effects of those on plant grows is even older...
The easy assumption is because those mitigate the models significantly, therefore making the results less worth of funding.
That is, of course, the problem with the modern scientific 'method', it is all about media attention, publication success, etc. Not about actual science. Come on guys, if you are going to model a system, leaving out the majority of active biomass matters..
You do know that the Mac uses exactly the same CPU and chipsets that you can get in equivalent PCs right? You do know that it is Intel that sets exactly how many PCI-Express ports are available to that, because it is PART OF THE CPU, right? You do know that there is absolutely NO special hardware in Macs, or special setup, EXCEPT a boot and video bios specifically created by Apple to block normal drivers from accessing them (and, because of that, meaning that driver updates are much MUCH slower), right?
So no, you are just making shit up I am afraid. It is very easy to purchase both a Windows Laptop and Desktop that makes exactly as good use of its internal setup as a mac, because its all basically standard.
You will of course try and point to some POS HP $400 laptop and say 'see! it is badly setup!'. that is market separation, and which it sucks, it is why they are willing to sell that for you for $400.
So, basically grow up, learn a few actual facts, and stop trying to claim 'secret sauce!' to rationalise your personal spending habits.
'My computer, despite being slower in all measurable specifications, is FASTER! HA! AND I AM A PROFESSIONAL!' Followed by turning of the back, fingers in ears, and reciting of 'nya nya nya nya I cannot hear you nya nya'
And in the real works, people keep on getting work done, knowing that in actual fact, the exact machine specs, OS, etc have such a small effect on a persons productivity, that it is unimportant.
Not to mention that fact that if he really is doing such high grade video work, and is using ANY laptop, he just doesnt get it, as a much more powerful desktop will be much MUCH more productive (for a start, it will have monitors where he can actually see the video he is working on... RAID storage so a drive crash wont lose all his work, much more RAM to allow a decent video buffer, and more cores, because video processing IS embarrassingly parallel and scales nearly perfectly).
So, basically a chump. example what the media loves for clickbait.
Except it is not a gun, it is just a launcher for self-guiding unpowered missiles. I guess now we will see (or not..) what the spread is firing normal projectiles, I would imagine, since it was designed for guided ones, it will be horrific.
Nice shilling, but very much not true. They have some competition, yes. You if you read, just above, ' a headache for mine owners, who are under pressure to cut supply and lower prices' cutting supply is almost exactly how the prices have been kept at the stupid level they are these days. Diamonds are among the MOST common of the gemstones, and about the only reason for their pricing was cunning marketing and supply control..
Could you please list the cameras that do this? And while you are at it.. How to enable than on my existing DSLRs? Including the one worth significantly more than this computer?
Thought not. Apple with its head up it's own arse as seems common these days. No doubt it will release a camera soon to maximise profits.. Oh sorry I mean help it's users enjoy their Apple nirvana. Hope it's not indefinately delayed like the ear pods.
My god. Has the land of the free become so incredibly incompetent at democracy that it does not realise a key feature of a secret ballot is removing evidence (intentional or not): about how someone voted? Do people really not understand that this created unsure this party pressure on how people vote? No? Still cannot see it?
'We all voted for xxx.. Why didn't you Facebook YOUR vote Debbie! We thought you were one of us! Obviously not!'
Still not seeing it?
Sad.. I guess Americans really do deserve the system they have created.
Actually.. It's a case of the usual bs sociological broken rational. The study process nothing at all because... 1. The amount of data collected is microscopic and therefore of zero statistical value. 2. There are no controls at all. 3. All the tests are uncorrelated as the situation is different for each. 4. And most importantly.. Correlation is not causation! You would think 'researchers' would know this.. But apparently not.
They would be so busy patting themselves on the back at discovering something they have preconceived (bad bad rich people!) That they have ignored the real requirements of such work. For example.. Perhaps what they are measuring is that more focus (and therefore less time spent being distracted by others around you) tends to lead to more personal wealth? Of course that is only one of hundreds of other possible reasons ( and their sample size is so microscopic nothing matters anyway).
Actually that is completely false. I really wonder where you got such tripe. If you do some actual research you will find that while old style English is dead (as commonly happens) it is generally thought the closest living form is new Zealand English. Which is very very different from American 'English'.
Copyright is about copying and distribution, not about use or consumption. It is quite specific. This decision far overreaches that. There is a VERY solid natural; law reason for this. If it were otherwise, and you purchased (or were even gifted) an original looking item, that ended up being a copy, YOU would be responsible for that fact. That would be a legal disaster to say the least. However, the court has missed that rather important distinction in this case, and extended responsibility to the receiver of material. If this was correctly interpreted then you would be legally responsible for the correct copyright status of everything you use or own. Taken to its logical conclusion, if a television broadcaster accidentally showed a movie free to air which they were not licensed for, then every viewer who watched that would be culpable. See how that works? See why the law was NOT written that way?
This, and the DMCA is ALL about copyright, Licensing is a completely separate issue, and one they did not attempt to address. Licensing is about ownership, Copyright is, and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act are, strangely enough, about COPYING (and the associated act of distribution).
Except if you actually look at their 'capacity' numbers.. The world would have to stop spinning (so the solar panels were always lot and at a perfect angle with zero clouds) with all the panels moved to the equator, while the wind would have to be a constant gale at all wind locations.. Basically they ignore reality. Then they add all the different types of 'renewable' including hydro power.. Which is the elephant in the corner that environmentalists hate.. And compare that 3/4 bs totaled to number to other power sources individually.. Is that the kind of analysis we should be pleased about? What a load of hyped crap. They should just stick reality and work on improvements.. Not make up bs to misinform the public.
Ah, sorry, did you think transparency meant you could see IN to what was happening? Silly silly citizen.. No. Transparency means what you can look, but you wont see anything, you can see straight through as if nothing is there!!
And you are completely wrong on the second point also! Hillary wont continue in this way! Obama was just a test case, so get a feel for how have we could bend the general public over. Hillary is the whole enchilada! now you are nicely greased up, its time for the whole Neocon delivery!
Vote Cthulhu.. he used to be the most evil, but now he is looking pretty damn good!
Not unless Apple add Meta and Cokebottle keys to the keyboard.. (yes, I know 99.5% of this group are too young to understand that, once it would not have been true).
BS, the average news retention of todays consumers is a couple of months. there will be a small impact on the next gen and nothing on the one after. By next year, people will have no memory of these things, which is both sensible (a tiny %age of people had a real problem, however hype has taken over) and terrible (companies need to learn from this, in the areas of treating their customers with enough care and respect).
The big thing that can be taken away from this is that Samsung do seem capable of turning the boat around and reacting correctly (full recall) even though it took them a little while. This is something rarely seen these days.
Sony still have a burning laptop battery issue, their third in the last ten years, which they are doing their best to avoid (and for some reason doesnt seem to be all over the front pages of every news outlet, or result in laptops being banned from flights..)
Apple are happily making people replace (and the consumers cost) phones with fault touch screens, because 'apple'.
I mean, after all a NUCEAR REACTOR has been HIT!!! by ATTACKERS!!!
Carefully ignore the fact that it probably means some script kiddie accidentally run a scan against a poorly configured break room web terminal used to access ebay during lunchtimes..
a REACTION was HIT!
FLEE for your LIVES! and its CYBER, thats even worse! next YOUR reactor will be hit! there is no ESCAPE!
Sigh. Welcome to the death of actual journalism (or at least the rape of its long dead corpse)
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
But for the youth of today.. Looks like they are winding up to repeat McCarthyism http://www.historyinanhour.com/2010/02/26/joseph-mccarthy-and-the-cold-war/
I guess the great terrorist threat is starting to run thin with the general public, time to buff off that good old standby.
After all, you have to keep the unwashes masses worried that SOME evil is looming over them, and only more government power and secrecy can protect them!
Perhaps you had better tell BMW, Citroen, Fiat, Ford Europe, Mercedes, Renault, Smart, Volkswagen, Porsche, Ferraro, and probably more.
Because every single one of them offer at least one commercial electric vehicle right now (yes, not all of those are German....)
Is it any surprise that the home of one of the leaders in car manufacture in Europe is pushing for new regulations to support the car industry? or do you think these changes are not going to benefit them? Oh you innocent little kitten.
Any such regulation will come with nice fat tax breaks and incentives for the 'poor car makers', along with bumps in sales as people buy 'the new thing', increased turnover in new vehicles (batteries have this nice short well defined lifespan, unlike those pesky internal combustion engines, that despite efforts keep getting repaired by owners and lasting too damn long!)
As usual Linus is talking 'general' but thinking focused. What he is actually talking about is high level computers (which these days includes smartphones, tablets, etc however there is a little more crossover there). Where he has no knowledge, understanding, or consideration is lower level applications - ie:embedded. Arms flexibility, and tendency to closely integrate hardware at the low level makes it is fantastic micro CONTROLLER implementation in general. The STM32 series are a great example of this, and it is an area that Intel seems to have lost the plot on. Despite Intels gushing money from time to time into such areas, very very few would touch them with a barge pole. Their IO infrastructure is just TOO complex and unnecessary for such applications (no one there uses PCIe, etc. Even USB tends to emulate a serial device).
In the mid range - ie: cellphone, tablet, etc ARM Chip sellers integration is great, however their documentation is TERRIBLE, and they do not seem to understand that open hardware specifications are gold (I am looking at you allwinner, rockchip, amlogic, himedia, mediatek, etal) and who dont seem to realise that sharing that knowledge gets a LOT more developers on side (or possibly hide it because of IP fears... who can be sure). There are vendors without such problems however (generally but not exclusively the non-chinese chip makers).
In the high end - PCs, Servers, etc. well, thats a mess right now. Perhaps AMD etc will help sort it out, or perhaps not.
In the end, ARM makes sense in a whole lot of niches, however not really those Linux focuses on - his primary focus has always been large server and workstation hardware, an area ARM is only just starting to overlap into in a small way.
So, what he says is factual in one area, but that area is a niche to arm, and a stronghold of Intel, so is it really a surprise?
So, what you are saying is that if they pick up a feature that has been available on other phones for, let me thing, a good solid ten years. *innovation*.
btw, if the 650kbps of BLE4.2 low power is not enough to stream your music to an active device (hint: one that can decode a compressed stream) then I suggest something is wrong, although you could always then use the 2.1mbps of the normal mode (not ultra low power), which, in case you are not counting, is more than enough for uncompressed CD quality..
Of course most BT headphone makers have been lazy and stuck to old high compatibility modes, but hey - thats because there are very VERY few high quality headphones that use a digital RF link.
W1 is good marketing, Apples usual 'different is better because our users are not technical enough to work it out' market approach.

Yes. An article presenting a completely false headline with content based on highly selective methodology so as to reach the conclusion they want.
