U should read this:
https://www.skepticalscience.com/satellite-measurements-warming-troposphere.htm

The article you cited is bad - or rather the background research is bad.
they cited an paper from the early 90's which used wrong methods to calculate the temperature from satellite data.

One of the authors john christie worked on a new paper in 2006 and this is on the first page:

Previously reported discrepancies between the amount of warming near the surface and higher in the atmosphere have been used to challenge the reliability of climate models and the reality of human-induced global warming... This significant discrepancy no longer exists because errors in the satellite and radiosonde data have been identified and corrected. New data sets have also been developed that do not show such discrepancies."

Someone should twitter the guy my post Smiley
I'm going to answer this in a way that does not prejudice the polling.  Skepsci is in error or perhaps you misread what Cook argued on his site.  It is correct that slight orbital decays caused several adjustments in the satellite data sets.  The current tabulation of 21 years without warming is after these corrections.

Thus, there is a dataset - the satellite data set - which shows as I indicated no warming in 21 years to any statistically significant level.

Arguments to the contrary might be that other data contradicts that, etc.  But there is no problem with the 21 year data set as you alleged.


Im not sure but if look at this graphic with the updated parameters:

Why? Because the Earth is in fact flat.

Cool! All hail Terry Pratchett Smiley! Can someone tell me where can I find the Rim on Travelrepublic or on booking.com? Some reviews about the best hotels there would be also useful Smiley.

I'm sorry I forgot to mention. The UN has declared the Antarctic off limits, to the public.

"The treaty, entering into force in 1961 and as of 2015 having 52 parties,[2] sets aside Antarctica as a scientific preserve, establishes freedom of scientific investigation and bans military activity on that continent. "

Not sure what u mean.

Was actually just thinking of booking a trip and see if i really weight 17.000 lbs there lol

Are your weight figures based on gravity? The idea is with a flat Earth, gravity either doesn't exist, or doesn't work the way we think it does.

Google this:

Gravitational lens. Examples like this shows that our understanding of gravity is correct

You're not allowed to wander off on your own....

So you mean i will be only able to walk over areas with no gravitation  or where they build an anti gravitation device so that i dont notice the 10.000+++ lbs?

The Earth is stationary, it's the Sun that orbits.

I see now, but then we could not explain why the rest of our sunsystem works like it works.

If one were allowed to explore past the Antarctic ice wall (it's locked down tighter than Area 51) I suspect there would be no rim, I think the Earth might be an almost infinite plane with other Suns orbiting above other worlds.




Please cite a source i cant find anything about such places that are forbidden for the public.
if you have enough funds you can go everywhere in antartica

i think the survey is for a social science thesis so i guess no shame that op doesnt understand the technicals.

it is just about the anonymity of bitcoins and if users are mainly interested because of it.

cant deduct ip address from bitcoin address - thats not possible.
you can do that with transactions though!

The problem is as long as china is the worlds biggest workshop where everything gets produced nothing will change at all.
And the chinese gov knows that and that is why they give a shit about what the west is saying about human rights and democracy.
The only hope i see that there will be a change coming from the bottom.
china is prospering and more people then ever before will have access to school and universities.

Either it will end in a good democracy or mega capitalism atleast 2x worst then we ever saw in the US.

I hereby clear the school shooters of any wrongdoing as one of the few not retarded persons left in america.  A threat to ones sanity is a threat to ones life.  Some of these people should be heralded as heroes.  This very likely clears the name of some people who have attacked government buildings as well.

4935  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Say goodbye to cheap water? on: July 14, 2015, 04:53:27 PM
Yeah, I agree, but now technology are more advanced, so I guess water can still be easily retrieved from seawater through desalination or other methods, and I guess the real problem is the transport of water for countries that do not have such technologies, and unable to have their own water sources, at the same time a poor country, then yes, its a serious problem.

Oil will soon run out, and there must be a replacement, or a new way to create more oil if possible, but still, this wont happen any time sooner, so its still safe to relax a bit for now, ultimately, it all comes down to the country's economy.

No actually making drinkwater from seawater through desalination is extremely expensive because of the power needed to run the devices.

In the future it might get cheaper but right now it is very expensive.

You lost $4..

Leave BTC and never return.. if you shit your pants over $4 Bitcoin is just not for you.  


why tf are some of you well established forum members so hateful/arrogant towards new members who are just experiencing the same emotional stress as almost all of us did in the bitcoin past at some point ?   is that the path to get more users on the bitcoin rocket ?

Yes indeed, well said.

Instead of scaring away new people we should embrace/welcome them.

He lost some money for some people its a laugh but maybe hes a student or whatever and still a loss is a loss.

Learn from this, and read / investigate about markets before you put money in it.



so $4 isn't much and yes I'm just a student , I asked for an advice here so I would know what to do if it was more money that's all and for god sake I'm still learning don't be harsh on me  Sad .

Edit: as a student I live with 3 other students in a rented room ,and  I can manage to live on $4 for two days with two meals every day ,so yeah.

If this is the truth speculation is nothing for you then...
should better finish your studies and get a permanent income which you the can use to speculate.

4$ for 2 days... oh boy mind to share where you are from?

4940  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: How easy is it to brute force an electrum wallet password? on: July 12, 2015, 01:17:40 PM
Hello hello,

I'm just wondering how strong, or how many 'bits of entropy' as you chaps like to say, my electrum wallet password should be.

If my password was just a dictionary word, would that make it trivial, or is it still a major undertaking to crunch all dictionary words?

Thanks chaps!

Extracted from their wiki at http://electrum.orain.org/wiki/Frequently_Asked_Questions#How_secure_is_the_seed.3F

Quote
How secure is the seed?
The seed created by Electrum has 128 bits of entropy. This means that it provides the same level of security as a Bitcoin private key (of length 256 bits). Indeed, an elliptic curve key of length n provides n/2 bits of security.

I don't think the seed has anything to do with this? I'm talking specifically about my electrum wallet password- NOT my seed.

My question is, if someone gets a hold of my wallet for whatever reason, how easy is it for them to brute force it?

Re the first response, you are surely incorrect- brute forcing takes a different amount of time depending on what you want to brute force? I suppose the specific question I am asking is: on a reasonably powerful computer, how many microseconds does it take to test one password? If a billion can be tested per second that's a problem- but if ten can be, that's not.

We are talking about billions of pw per second depending on the hardware.

The average time depends on characters used, lenght of password, repititions etc
