I don't know 3% seems small but significant... "Across the world, thousands of underground coal fires are burning at any given moment. The problem is most acute in industrializing, coal-rich nations such as China.[7] Global coal f

All of those are great points and I agree, I just find myself, more often lately, exhaustively trying to prove my bug is real before something gets fixed. I wish there were some sort of badges I could acquire, like "You have earned 5 b

I want to echo this. I am stunned anything productive gets done in Cairo. Flip a coin whether the traffic nightmare lets you get to a meeting on time or even the office in less than 4 hours. I, probably naively, took this as more of an effi

I work at one of the labs mentioned and get paid for running not only the climate models but mesoscale models as well, which are also written in Fortran. The premise of the article is that Fortran, 70 years later is still an appropriate too

I think the article and headline are fine for HN. I clicked on it and read it and am not sorry I did. I read the Amazon and Ebay comment to mean just that! There are no other juggernaut e-commerce sites that have dominated the market, not t

The problem for me, someone who really wants to be in the middle, is that the only conservative leaning news outlet that I believe (no facts in my reporting) does fact based reporting is the Wall Street Journal. If I want news with data an

Who else do we hold accountable except the companies that profit on the short sighted behavior? I am willing/wanting to pay more for my luxuries but unless we make everyone do it, nothing changes. If Exxon doesn't release the info
