Небольшие временные трудности с моделями вармистов:

The most recent climate model simulations used in the AR5 indicate that the warming stagnation since 1998 is no longer consistent with model projections even at the 2% confidence level.

Пред лицом угрозы, ряды смыкаются:

Research which heaped doubt on the rate of global warming was deliberately suppressed by scientists because it was “less than helpful” to their cause, it was claimed last night. /.../ A scientist asked by the journal to assess the paper under the peer review process wrote that he strongly advised against publishing it because it was “less than helpful”. The unnamed scientist concluded: “Actually it is harmful as it opens the door for oversimplified claims of ‘errors’ and worse from the climate sceptics media side.”

Нельзя допускать протаскивание всяческих сомнительных писулек под личиной науки, когда это льёт воду на вражескую мельницу!

Survey data: Only 22% of Obamacare sign-ups are paid, previously uninsured enrollees.

In February, McKinsey reported that only 27 percent of those selecting a new 2014 plan were previously uninsured; in April, the proportion was 26 percent.

Ну и по линку там много других циферок.

A вот ещё интересное. До:

By now it should be clear why we view DRM as bad for users, open source, and alternative browser vendors:
/.../
"I continue to collaborate with others, including some in Hollywood, on watermarking, not DRM."
- Brendan Eich, 22 October 2013


После:

"With most competing browsers and the content industry embracing the W3C EME specification, Mozilla has little choice but to implement EME as well so our users can continue to access all content they want to enjoy. Read on for some background on how we got here, and details of our implementation."
- Mozilla CTO Andreas Gal, 14 May 2014


"Mozilla will be adding a way to integrate Adobe Access DRM technology for video and audio into Firefox, via a common specification called Encrypted Media Extensions (EME)."
- The Mozilla Blog, 14 May 2014


Возникают интересные вопросы, вроде того, не выплыли ли давние взносы Эйка в слишком удобное время для того, чтобы устранить неудобного противника DRM?
