Trump did the right thing. Other nations such as Saudi Arabia and China are causing more pollution (on a per capita basis), and still the burden of reducing the climate change is falling on just the western nations and Japan. Everyone has to share the burden.

Before you sing the praises of this idiot Trump remember that to date only two countries have not signed the Paris agreement — Syria and Nicaragua. Russia, Iran and the DPRK has not yet ratified it. Barack Obama, who has put his signature under the Paris agreement, declare today, June 1, because of Trump's "the United States joined the handful of countries that reject the future".

That still doesn't address the main concern. Right now, most of the burden is on the United States and the European Union. China and countries such as Saudi Arabia are not required to make much sacrifices. The agreement needs to be modified, to make it palatable to all.


Stop telling 3rd world people some bullshit lies.
China is the nr. 1 producer of renewable energy.
There are more then enough studies that say china will have peak energy consumption in the next few years.
China is placed rank 56 or something re co2 emission per capita.
The industry nations could take an example from china in this regard.

 yes.  Let's every country over-populate to reduce our per capita emissions; take the lesson from China.


Even if this is sarcasm it makes no sense.

Majority of chinese are farmers that produce pretty much zero emmisions.
Emission per capita is important and a good indicator.


 Don't worry.  You'll figure it out someday sarcasm or otherwise.


Well if you tried to look smart or something similiar you miserably failed.

/Edit
Ah and i already quoted your post. No reason to delete it. ^^"

  I tend to react sometimes and later realize there is no point in arguing which is why I deleted the post.  It wasn't the first post I deleted and it wont be the last.  I failed in that I didn't delete it quickly enough and now I feel compelled to continue a ridiculous argument.

 Firstly, I would like to point out to you that sarcasm need not be ironic (it appears you weren't aware of that).

 Secondly, there is absolutely no reason to take lessons from China about CO2 emissions; if you look at the ratio of GDP to carbon dioxide emissions you will see that China ranks #175 in the world.  Seems like they need a lesson in efficiency! Their low emissions per capita is only achievable due to their crushing over-population consisting of mostly impoverished subsistence farmers who derive little or no benefit from China's CO2 emissions.



"Even if" means it could be but must not. If that is not the meaning feel free to explain me that phrase please.
Your intentions were not clear for me that is why i wrote it like that.


You just repeated what i said (china has a lot of farmers with zero emission). Do you expect me to not know what i just told you?

Lets talk about some points:

1. You realize there is a difference between a developing and an industry nation?

2. The learning was regarding their energy mix which has the highest % of renewable energy in the world and they want to increase it further to shut down nuclear and coal plants.
For a fucking developing nation which 20-30 years ago was a 3rd world nation that is more then incredible.

3. Point 2 directly means that when the farmers with zero emission start the urbanisation process they will use energy primarily from renewable sources with close to zero emission.


 I don't understand what you find incredible about a country choking on its own excrement deciding to build a humongous hydroelectric dam (which is over 100 year old technology) to mitigate its pollution woes.  It's sensible but not incredible.  Fortunately they had the geography to support the effort as well as the assistance and expertise of companies and gov't agencies in Brazil, Canada, Germany, France, Norway, Sweden, Italy, Japan, Scotland, Switzerland, USA and the UK as well as some help from the Wold Bank.

 China is no longer a developing nation, they are a world super-power with a dual personality using the "developing country" moniker as a crutch to keep from making any promises about carbon emission reduction while at the same time having the world's second largest military budget.

 3. By the time the farmers are urbanized, China wont need all the energy it currently produces as they will be a post-industrialized country with a declining population that will need to be bolstered by immigration from.... probably Africa?

I think many here sounds religions. Just like believing in God or the market in 2007.

I'm trying to provide easy understandable facts for you here.
What anyone can make, is not worth anything.
That is economy 101.
What very few can make, is worth more. And so on.

There are over 700 cryptocoins today. https://coinmarketcap.com
Look this site.
What is it that you dont understand? It is the most simple economy you can ever learn.
Cryptocoin has no more value than some gold inside a computer game.

Sell it for money and invest in something real.
I'm out, at least I warned you.

6006  Economy / Economics / Re: Fiat money influx into crypto-currencies - Question about price dynamics on: June 04, 2017, 06:02:18 PM
Hello Guys,

Is there any estimations or measures out there of how much fiat money influx got into the crypto-currency world?
I don't mean the market cap of bitcoin and others, I mean how much USD, EUR, CNY, ... got invested in buying bitcoin and others

I have been thinking about the price dynamics, and I am wondering what happens when enough traders/investors starting thinking to secure some of their profits in USD. More importantly, the hundreds of millions of dollar poured into ICOs in form of crypto-currency investments will be withdrawn in fiat currencies to fund the development of the respective projects.

So again, is there enough fiat currency supply or will the exchange plunge as people seek an exit?

Your help is much appreciated!

 First of all, it's BILLIONS of dollars and secondly, exchanges always plunge as people seek an exit.  It's part of the game.  Some people are never able to sell and they end up holding the proverbial bag.

edit: you don't seem very fearless, Hannibal.

Hello dear fellows,

I'm an economist and I just want to give you a head up to sell all your coins before they get worthless.
Including Bitcoins.

Today there are over 750 cryptocoins in existence.
Because literally anyone, any team of people can design and create their own coins. Very easily with all the open source codes available.

So, if anyone can create any amount of their own coins.
Guess what the value of that coin will be on the market?
0.
It's value is zero.
It's literally worth less than water or the air you're breathing.

Once people start to realize this, that the coins have no realistic valuation, each and every single one of every coin will be worth NADA. 0. ZERO. NOTHING.
Enjoy the ride while it last, and get out fast.

Regards

3 years ago I was trying to write the sci fi short story called MARS MINER about things happening in the bitcoin mining facility in MARS.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=668028.msg7574713#msg7574713

But the whole blocksize debate has spoiled everything. Clock is ticking for what they called flippening where some altcoin will overtake bitcoin.

we are not going to mars, we are going to fall into sea to the bottom.

6015  Economy / Services / Re: Java Homework on: June 04, 2017, 04:18:20 AM
I need help on my Java homework. Can pay in BTC

This is one of the complicated questions:

Define the Employee abstract superclass from which specific types of Employee's can be derived.  This abstract class contains one instance variable; name. (4 points)

This class should contain a default constructor.
This class should contain a constructor which can be used to pass in the name of the Employee.
This class should contain the getName() method to retrieve the name instance variable
This class should contain the setName() method to set the name instance variable.
This class should contain an abstract method, getSalary(), which is not defined in this class because determining the salary of an Employee is dependent on the Employee type.
Define two derived classes from the Employee superclass: (2 points each)

The Commission class should be derived from the Employee class  The salary for this type of employee is based on a sales commission percentage.
The Hourly class should be derived from the Employee class.  The salary for this type of employee is based on a base pay plus tips collected. 
Each derived class should contain constructors, which call the constructor of the superclass.

Each class should implement a toString() method to provide a formatted output of the name, as well as the salary based on the Employee type.

Examples:

   Commission  employee1 = new Commission( "Wendy Smith", 40000, 4 );
   Hourly      employee2 = new Hourly( "Bruno Hildago", 800, 325 );

   System.out.println( employee1 );
      may result in an output of
   Wendy Smith salary is $1600.00

   System.out.println( employee2 );
      may result in an output of
   Bruno Hildago salary is $1125.00


This is a simple question:


Given the following array declaration:

int[] flowers = { 4, 16, 12, 7, 1, 5, 3 };
   
What is the value of the first element?

   
What is the value of flower.length?

   
What is the value contained in third element?

   
What is the array index for the last array element?

A.4

B.7

C.12

D.6

anyone else know how to convert a private key to WIF format?

 How are you getting the private key(s) from your cold storage wallet exactly?  Are you using the dumpprivkey <litecoinaddress> command?  If it's in hex format, you need to base58 encode but it's strange if you're using Litecoin core, the dump should yield a WIF private key.

edit: You better make sure you understand the Exodus wallet.  It's a one way trip for your coins if you don't!  You're not actually importing a private key, you're moving the coins to an address within the Exodus wallet.

The thing is that I cant find where to track this "Batch ID" and the money is not reflected in my wallet (use Xapo btw).
