Sorry, I missed your comment. However, climate change is making hurricanes stronger. The fact that we cannot detect it says more about how crude our instrumentation is more than anything else. The laws of physics are clear about what is happening, even if we cannot detect it. Claiming anything else is to deny the basic principles of science.
Honestly, a periscope that captures all 360 degrees is the perfect situation to use a VR headset. Literally, all you are doing is looking around which is precisely what VR is suited for!
QtCreator makes no assumptions about what you will work on, so there are no open projects when launched. Btw, having 5M LoC of interdependent projects open automatically isn't a feature I want.
LOL @ 1000 LoC. Whoever writes an IDE in 1000 LoC deserves either an award for their brilliance or a new keyboard so that they have a working "Enter" button.;)
My virtual-speed-penis is obviously not as big as yours.
Whoa there buddy. I was just pointing out that 10 seconds is a really long time for software to start in 2017.
The times for anything like SQL Server Manager, or Visual Studio are no better.
Yeah, Microsoft has always been slow at everything. Desktop computers are lightning fast, so 10 seconds is far too long an amount of time to launch any program.
How much more destructive? What was the trend in storm intensity before and after climate change? How does the cause and effect relationship work exactly?
What specific, quantifiable cause and effect relationship are we acknowledging? And what clear evidence of this specific effect should we be sure not to ignore?
Hurricanes aren't new and they'll always be around. However, climate change is making them stronger and more destructive. Don't pretend like it's something it's not because it's just as bad as pretending climate change is a hoax.
maybe/.'ers are so socially inept they haven't registered but social media has fundamentally altered the expected social interaction. People don't send mails, texts, write on their blog or call/meet to say it in person, they make a Facebook post and expect the people who are interested enough to care to read it.
Interesting. That's not how my social circle works. Anyway, if you absolutely must have an online social circle then you should use something that isn't facebook. There are plenty of decentralized platforms as well as platforms you can host yourself that can manage more people than you'll ever meet. Slap it on a secure VPS and have your friends use it.

Now that you know it's addictive, you can simply not use what they are offering. Of course if you are already hooked then you should leave them behind. If that means quitting social media completely, you quit that shit. If that means not using Android or iOS then get a smartphone that lets you choose a libre mobile OS or *gasp* don't use a smartphone. Hell, if that means going off the power grid you go invest in some solar panels and batteries, dammit!;)
If you don't like your situation, you change it, you don't sit around and cry about it.
The electoral system has multiple levels of this which is how we have a president who lost the popular vote by over 3 million votes. Even if your vote decides for your county, it's very unlikely to change the state. Even if your vote changes the county AND the state, your state has to have enough electoral votes for it to matter. This is why the US has "swing states" because the margins are actually close enough where it could change the outcome of the election. Removing the state level and just making it all counties would dramatically increase the value of your vote.
it will not change until AIs take over the world and enslave us, but that's a problem for 2019.
Actually, that was a problem for 2019 which we solve in 2047 by solving the problem 1997. We pushed Clippy into Microsoft office and everyone saw much earlier how annoying he was and it sealed his fate before they made him intelligent. You wouldn't believe how annoying it was to be enslaved by a smart version of Clippy. I don't know what the future hold but thank your lucky stars we aren't going to be enslaved by Omega Clippy. I still have nightmares about it... ("Looks like you're trying to breathe, would you like me to push air into your lungs?" "Fuck you, Clippy! Just let me die!" "Your response is illogical, you will live to continue serving us.")
All you have to do is make clear that it will cost more to eat foods with poor nutrition. Right now we are subsidizing corn and thus high-fructose corn syrup, so it's put into everything. The problem is that cost of healthcare is decoupled from things that impair your health. A simple behavioral correction would be to provide universal health care and add a health care tax (must show on receipt) to things that are statistically correlated with health care costs.
What this means is that if there is an X% chance of getting cancer after smoking Y cigarettes, you can take the average cost to treat lung cancer, divide it up and tack that cost onto the price of cigarettes. People will then see how much it's going to cost to actually slowly kill themselves and either pay to do it or choose to not do it. The same goes with food but you need to evaluate foods based on different metrics like how it affects your blood sugar, the amount of stress it puts on your liver, how much "crave" it causes (as they call addiction in the food industry) and other things.
The result of doing this will be that food that is good for you will become blindly obvious because of they won't have a health care tax slapped on them. Behavior is determined by feedback loops and if you do not have the proper ones in place, you will not get the desired behavior.
DMCA overreach is among the least compelling options, considering that it unilaterally puts power into the hands of what are essentially uninvolved parties and allows for little arbitration or defense on the part of those who have their content removed.
It seems like if a DMCA takedown is so powerful then it shouldn't be blindly accepted. This is just a symptom of the problem that is the DMCA.
Studies simply exist to inform others of a topic of interest. The problem is not the studies being scary, the problem is that highly technical information is inappropriately being repackaged and pushed out to the general public who have no insight into topic. The problem isn't the message itself, it's the messengers.

I hope he was sure it was worth the risk because to me this seems like a dumb reason to risk jail time and really bad PR.

Most firms are still offering too little money for the positions they want filled. Translated, this means most companies do not value IT staff.
The companies with management that believe "demand greatly outstrips supply" are earning the security breaches in their futures.
There's also people whose votes don't matter, because they're in states that can reasonably be expected to go to a certain party.
Read better. "Even if your vote decides for your county, it's very unlikely to change the state."

fuck, too late. -_-
10 seconds? WOW! QtCreator starts and is fully loaded in under a second without cache.

How about someone just turn off as many lights as possible until the NSA does their job? ;)
Well apparently such a system offends the sensibilities of multiple mods.
What's the point of voting when the electoral college makes your vote irrelevant?

What happened to "Government Shouldn't Pick Winners and Losers"? Worse yet, it's not even an American company!
There seems to be serious hypocrisy going on within the Republican party.
Oh I know, it's just that AGW has the citations to back it up.
