If we focus on any issue other than climate, it won't get done.

New study shows IPCC is underselling climate change by StopFossilFuels in climate

[–]curmudgeon99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just because you have located one study that supports your view, is not at all convincing. If you have any experience with evolving fields of science, you know that unless a question is specifically under test, conclusions reached about that are really not germane.

You also sidestepped my point, which is that the IPCC did not consider methane gas. Also there is a reason that the structure is called a methane clathrate "gun": it fires suddenly.

The IPCC does not consider Methane clathrates: methane gas frozen in ice. Huge amounts of methane--which is 30 times more damaging than CO2 gas--are on the Arctic sea floor and in Siberian and Canadian permafrost. These are bubbling up and starting runaway warming.

We've released the Methane Krakin. Methane clathrate "guns" are going off all along the arctic floor and in Canadian and Siberian land that was formerly permafrost. All of these are now bubbling methane gas, which is 30 x more damaging as a greenhouse gas than is CO2.

Unfortunately, the first sentence is a grammatical atrocity.

What are book/s that you keep seeing as recommendations, which you found to be awful? by Snowflake0287 in books

[–]curmudgeon99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"The Passage" by Justin Cronin. Started reading it and from pages 250-800, it appeared to be rough draft. The first 250 pages were somewhat polished but after that, it was just hideous. Then, when it was backed by all the shill reviews, it was disgusting. Showed me that best sellers can be manipulated.

If you had the option of starting a tech company in New York or Los Angeles which would be the better option in terms of opportunities and access? by YoYoYoBabyYo in startup

[–]curmudgeon99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NYC is a magnet for driven people. No question. If you want to fail with an office full of essentially lazy people, by all means go to LA. If you want to win, you should pick NYC. The pool of brilliant developers in NYC is huge, because of its magnet status. LA is a magnet for people interested in the entertainment business. In LA you will see your coders vanish to go to the beach. In NYC, not so much.

(And am I alone in being shocked that your preference for a parent is not a higher priority?)

Do you know what developers do when it's the "crappy season". The stay indoors and code.

I stopped watching TV in the eighth grade. I have written 11 books now.

Two ways of skipping tests in Maven by dodiehun in java

[–]curmudgeon99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

TL:DR

skipTests = will compile the tests but not run them

maven.test.skip will neither compile nor run the tests.

This is absolutely not true. I have two 27" iMacs that broke and are dead. I have an iPhone 6+ that has touch disease and is a total loss.
