What's the point of having measurable goals if there's obligation to meet any of them.
...yet. We're getting there eventually; not everything gets done by putting a gun to someone's head. The main greenhouse emitting countries are doing arguably good: India, for example, became the world's 4th wind power producer, has over 9GW of solar, is cutting 15GW of coal power and is, in fact, posed to exceed their own goals by 2020. China is on track to reduce its greenhouse emissions 70% by 2030.
It is impossible to understate the harm the US has done in that regard. Do you grasp how hard it is to have everyone, from Australia to North Korea, to agree on anything?
it is a huge fuck you to the world though. The Paris Accord is the first time in history when all countries in the planet acknowledged climate change as real and proposed measurable goals to fight it. Until the US dropped out there were exactly two countries outside the accord - Syria, undergoing civil war, and Nicaragua, who claims the accord doesn't do enough to fight climate change.
But still - the line about "renegotiating" the accord was uttered by Trump himself when he announced the decision: "I don't want anything to get in our way. The US will withdraw from the Paris climate accord, but begin negotiations to reenter either the Paris accord or a really entirely new transaction on terms that are fair to the United States, its businesses, its workers, its people, its taxpayers. (...) We're getting out, but we will start to negotiate, and we will see if we can make a deal that's fair," Trump said. "If we can, that's great. And if we can't, that's fine."
Um, no. If you want to see what Nazi currently means, check the clips of the Charlottesville march with people chanting "Blood and Soil" and waving, you know, fucking Nazi flags.
Creating hardware RNGs is pretty trivial with off-the-shelf electronics; people have been using reverse-biased PN junctions on transistors for this application since forever.
Was the output processed for bias? That might explain it. Creating a true RNG is trivial; simply reverse-biasing a PN junction in a transistor will create a good source of avalanche noise which can be converted into a bitstream. It has to be processed to account for bias though, like with the Von Neumann algorithm: https://mathoverflow.net/quest...
LOL.. Toxic is it? So the Whitehouse is a "toxic place" now eh?
Absolutely. Besides possibly Tillerson there's not a single competent staff member in Trump's cabinet. It is staggering, and it is only getting worse.
And remember, even Tillerson is officially out because he "needed some time off". What was the last time you heard about a Secretary of State taking time off?!

I've never heard anyone trying to make sound swipe-to-unlock so magic and profound before.
Opera is a de-facto Chrome skin this days. A crying shame.
I run Chromium these days, and keep a close eye on Vivaldi. But it is not quite there yet.
You've just described OnePlus's business model.
Um, no. If you want to see what Nazi currently means, check the clips of the Charlottesville march with people chanting "Blood and Soil" and waving, you know, fucking Nazi flags.
...is staggering. So much winning.
I find that entire argument pretty ridiculous. So, history is getting rewritten because statues are being removed? Do you teach from them?
There's a reason Germany doesn't have Hitler statues, you know, and it is not because they're willing to forget.
Why would i condemn the left when Trump shuts down his business advisory councils?
Do you really think this is a left vs. right issue?
...Trump just went full Nazi on a press conference: http://edition.cnn.com/2017/08...
You should check on Gate's philanthropy background. Think what you may about him, he donated a shitload of money to very good causes over the world.
From having *the* best, most advanced browser in the game to becoming just another Chrome skin.
I really enjoyed that movie and was quite surprised to find out it was considered a flop.
Rambus analyzed Intel's in-CPU RNG implementation about 5 years ago and found it to be very robust, FWIW: http://www.rambus.com/wp-conte...
Intel CPUs all have RNG since the Pentium III days - and they all based on Johnson (thermal) noise IIRC.

Yeah, we white males had it really rough over the entire course of history.
+1. We have two completely unfit leaders playing chicken with nuclear weapons here.
*sigh* At least the fireworks will be awesome this Christmas.
Yeah, solar cells are not really useful when no sun is nearly available. Took some NASA-level geniuses to figure this out.
As far as cellphone photography (???), Google's own Pixel/Pixel XL has very likely the best camera out there.

Personally, I'd cut him a big break...Most of us wouldn't handle any one of these pressures very well...
You know, if you don't like petting scorpions, you shouldn't get a job petting scorpions.
What's really terrifying is that the WH has become a toxic place for any remotely competent people in the US. What's left after The Mooch?
This is killing me. I was really looking forward for more of Mario Cantone as Scaramucci on The President Show.
