This will make a LOT of people here mad, but the exponential growth computational power of digital computers is ending. We can no longer count of the computers of tomorrow to be significantly faster or have more memory than today. If you have been following the industry closely you can already see start to happen 10 years ago. So we can forget about projections that used the argument of exponential growth creating the "Singularity" or "AI". There just simply won't be enough processor power available with classical digital computers. The computer you use 10 years from now will look and perform a lot like the one you have today.
If you used git and used your own local branches for your dependencies you would avoid this issue. You only pull from upstream when there are changes you need to incorporate. It sounds like a lot of people were doing it wrong.
No, that isn't possible in 2016. You cannot do development at this point without depending on some libraries. The trick is to create a personal git fork of all your dependencies. So if the original disappears you still have your copies.
For most people Music is disposable. The biggest "artists" right now are Adele, Taylor Swift, One Direction, Drake. Their current "hits" will be listened to for a couple of months and then discarded. This is why streaming music is so successful. It isn't worth the $0.99 investment to download it.
Completely wrong. American peak oil didn't occur as predicted. But thanks for proving my point. There was a "half century" left about a "half century" ago. You guys keep moving the "peak oil" time further into the future. One day you will be right!
No, the US actually REDUCED their CO2 output. But the EU increased it. You can go check it yourself. Please explain how that is the fault of the Democrats or Republicans.
Until someone can explain it. So go ahead and explain it. But you can't. Why DOES the EU keep increasing their CO2 year over year? They must be denialists or Republicans?
Because no one thought of it when they built the Internet because it wasn't originally commercial. CompuServe/AOL/etc DID charge by the minute to use their networks. If Microsoft, etc had their way you WOULD be paying for the Internet by the minute.
That has nothing to go with global warming, but the destruction of the marshlands which mitigate the effects of the tide. This is a MUCH bigger problem than AGW.
But don't fool yourself: atmospheric funding has NOT historically been funded as much as it has now. Give me a break. If you don't think funding and fame is part of what drives people like Hansen you haven't observed the human race for very long.

It is like web-scale, but mega.
Yes they cancel them if that happens. They don't spoof them and place them with the intent to cancel them. That is the difference.
Yeah, sure we believe you. The thing in the computer window helps. Sure! Mice in the walls? Probably
No everyone. The smart people create their own branches. That is what git is for.

It is 2016. You need to use libraries. You just copy them to your local repo so they are in a known state if you use them.

It is impossible to use VR for more than 10 minutes without puking. I don't think that will be an issue.
Jeebus can fix that, Jim.
yeah right. the vive causes terrible motion sickness. paying $600 makes no difference.

No one is suggesting a infinite amount of oil, or that there will not eventually be a "peak oil" event. Reread my post.
Yes. Really.

No. It is right, right, right. Miami will never admit it because they love the property taxes.
Showering next to the toilet and sink? Er, is there something wrong with that?
Yes. He suddenly died at 89 because he was going to reveal a secret he just remembered about.

Sure. Here are some good books written by your fellow "peak oil" nutcases:
"Peak Oil and the Second Great Depression" (2010-2030) "Peak Oil Survival" (1970s) "When Oil Peaked" (1970s)
What a joke. If you really believed in peak oil you would be investing in it now.
But don't fool yourself: atmospheric funding has NOT historically been funded as much as it has now. Give me a break. If you don't think funding and fame is part of what drives people like Hansen you haven't observed the human race for very long.
I just wish the EU would reduce their CO2 output. But they don't. They INCREASE IT every year. Why? They must be "deniers"!
