    #$%^ing Slashdot ate my comment.

    Sahara goes north, getting smaller.

    2/3 of the land stations report getting wetter, average precipitation goes steadily up in the last 20 years.

    Natural effect of global warming is that there will be more precipitation in average: the air is hotter and can hold more water: that means that more water will come down in the form of precipitation.

    Basic physics.

    Every global warming yapper should do the simple exercise, go to

    ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/da...

    and assess for themselves what is happening in the areas where people actually live.

    In other news, temperature wise: on average there is actually increase in the number of comfortable days (-20C .... 32C) since 1958, again, in the areas whre people actually live.

    Long term software I mean. It is more and more important how long one can maintain the software, fixing it, improving it than how effectively, how quickly you can write it from scratch (which is what "gig" economy is about: drive-by writing). That relies on healthy long term employment of real FTEs.

    I heard from one of my works a reply to my criticism of his software: "it works". That is the lowest level of readiness of the software.

    1984 is scary because the party is controlling everything

    Right and since the book was written by a New Age prophet (see what I did here, he did not live in the time of New Age), everything must be and only be in the way he wrote.

    Corporations are not very different from totalitarian states and at some point become indistinguishable.

    That's why they need to be regulated, that's why if you love free speech you must love the government that does not allow this sort of thing. Remember another Marx saying that government is nothing but a gang of armed people. What he did not say is that one gang is always better than many. That's the only way to maintain order.

    And government must stand up for people who are fired for their belief from companies exactly the same way it has laws for people being persecuted by government for their beliefs.

    Free speech does not mean anything when you limit it as "freedom from being persecuted by government".

    Feeling sympathetic to suppressed speech I checked out these two.
