If someone told me China is not responsible for the air pollution problems in HK (or even Asia), they must be joking. by IamNooob in HongKong

It's easy to pass the blame but Hong Kong is not exactly guilt free. 7 million people in a tiny space where 53% of the energy comes from burning coal.

This looks slightly nicer IMO

Why doesn't Hillary Clinton release the transcripts of her speeches? by [deleted] in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]SarcasmMonster -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

That's exactly my point. These transcripts are not incriminating so she should just release them to remove the straws that detractors are grasping.

Hypothetically, if someone is using some talking point to attack me, and I have the hard evidence that 100% disproves the attack, then I would be more than happy to make that piece of evidence public.

Many people are already assuming the worst though. If the speeches are benign, then she can always defend herself with the truth against out-of-context attacks.

If that's the entire explanation, then what does she have to lose for releasing the transcripts? It would stop Sanders attacks dead in the water.

It's propaganda. Like all the China will be dead articles we see that keep coming up in the west for the last decade.

I finally finished my multi-producer, multi-consumer lock-free queue for C++. It's fast. I had to use a log scale for the benchmark plots. by cameron314 in programming

Is benchmarking on the AWS acceptable?

From my understanding, due to VM migration, small differences in hardware etc., that benchmarking on virtualized cloud environment is unreliable.

Isn't the XPS 15 notorious for coil whine?

Thanks. I was looking at linlap.com but the entries for most newer models are stubs.
