For rapid response systems grid frequency is the signal!

You always need something that can respond quickly to unexpected events to maintain grid stability. The best signal for that is grid frequency, as it’s a very direct measure of grid health.

Many of those large consumers you speak off will be contracted to respond directly to grid frequency, either shedding load or adding supply, to make sure the grid doesn’t completely collapse if a shock event happens. That buys grid maintainers the time they need to recover the grid in a more controlled way.
Which is why they're planning to have the battery/LED module, which accounts for most of the cost, manufactured inside the country rather than imported, which should make it much cheaper.
Thanks, an absurd typo; fixed.
Hard to say but I can see a lot of it being “mined” on super high availability cloud services probably AWS in the more popular regions. Reason being if you go offline you might forfeit your stake which is at least 32Eth or about $64k last time I checked
I'm actually still surprised at how expensive Wifi5 routers are. I still see "top of the line" wireless routers which still use 8 year old technology.
Aren't we now seeing a reaction to this with the cancel culture? Getting rid of the assholes as vehemently as possible?

Even though cancel culture is probably overreacting, I'm not sure if there is another way than to get rid of the toxic loud minority.

I'm a mod in a subreddit that has a very toxic circle jerk sister subreddit. Like "jokes about the recently died father of one of the persons the main subreddit is about" bad. Some people frequent both subreddits and while they are just behaved enough to not be straight banned in the main subreddit, their behavior in the circle jerk would well justify a perma bann.

In my experience there is no reasoning with certain persons. Even if they seem reasonable 80% of the time, the 20% completely destroy any basis for normal discussions. There's a latent sentiment that creeps into every discussion if you don't remove these persons. Even if they haven't shown their bad side in the main subreddit.

I find myself uncertain if you are actually replying to me, and if so, if you understand what I mean by delegation. I thought more people knew about this, but in the past few hours I continue to see a lot of comments that leads me to believe this is not common knowledge and that not everybody understood what delegation is.

When I give my open ID to a site (usually blogger.com to make a comment), I actually type in "jerf.org" after the http:// , with nothing else. I do not have a provider set up, which I looked into but is a pain in the bum, and, as it turns out, entirely unnecessary. Instead, the OpenID consumer hits the page I gave (my domain's front page, as it turns out), finds those tags, redirects to "whatever those tags say today", and then I log in that way. When I have successfully logged in with the delegated service, then I have successfully authenticated myself as "ht​tp://jerf.org". I say "whatever those tags say today" because if I change those tags on that page to delegate to Google, suddenly I can log in with Google, but I will still be authenticated as "ht​tp://jerf.org". If AOL, my current delegate, decides to get out of the OpenID business entirely, one minute with vim on my website allows me to move it somewhere else, again, all along, I'm "ht​tp://jerf.org". This layer of indirection solved all the problems I had with the idea.

I don't have "many" OpenIDs, the phrase of yours that led me to wonder if you (and perhaps others) aren't following me here. I have one: ht​tp://jerf.org. Of course like everybody else I can't even count the number of accounts I have with various OpenID providers, but I don't care; ht​tp://jerf.org is my OpenID, and will be until I no longer have the domain.

I also don't know why it would "appeal" to one of the crowds you listed, but not others. The crowd it "appeals" to is the crowd that has control over a website that includes the ability to set arbitrary tags into the heading of a webpage, rather than a pre-canned HTML template that can't be touched. Unfortunately, rather fewer people have websites with that amount of control than I'd like.
For what it's worth, I was just making an observation, because it struck me as unlikely beyond all speaking off it that somebody would actually be issued a summons for playing chess in a park. That set my brain down the path of "What happens in parks that we don't arrest people for but don't want to encourage?" Oh yeah, that.

I could go either way on the justice/prudential aspect of it. On the one hand, there are a lot of laws that condemn the homeless to essentially permanent low-level conflict with the police. There are justice issues with that. ("The law, in all its majestic equality, forbids the rich and poor alike from sleeping under bridges.") On the other hand, I know of public spaces which welcome the homeless with open arms and I know of public spaces which I would enjoy spending time at, and those are disjoint sets. To the extent that the general public being able to enjoy parks is important (which is very, very low on my list of priorities), I (mildly) sympathize with their desires for them to not have homeless people in them.
We don't need one network to rule them all. Similarly, we have different applications for document preparation, code manipulation and presentation creation though they are arguably text editors.
Meta comment on terrible experience from Forbes website:

* Interstitial ad after clicking through;

* Short article spread over 2 pages unnecessarily;

* Hitting 'back' to return to HN a survey form pops up which I had to dismiss before I could return to HN.

Do they not see how ad-driven and user-hostile their site is?
>Otherwise I get in but it looks like my stuff on the website I'm logging into got wiped out.

What? No. Only if the site presumes a brand-new OpenID means a brand-new account, and automatically creates it for you. And it'll probably be asking you for a username and email - at which point it likely will throw a database constraint, telling you you can't use that username or email. And the vast majority I've encountered ask you if you want to create an account under that OpenID.

And this is also no different than, say, Instapaper, where just entering an email / username offers to create a new one. It could easily do so automatically. What if you forgot you had one under a different email? You're just conflating human forgetfulness and poor website design with inherent problems of OpenID which don't really exist.

A fair number of sites allow you to register multiple emails. Is this not a band-aid to the bullet wound which email accounts are?

On the flip side, we have idiot websites storing passwords in clear-text, or hashed without salting, all of which means if they get hacked they get thousands of accounts, likely thousands of email accounts as well (as many / enough use the same password). With OpenID, they'll just get your public OpenID URL - whoop-de-doo.

In fact, I'd say that the (rarely used) adequate security measures to protect your password are band-aids on the bad implementation that is username-and-password.
I have to say it sounds like you received the not so invasive pat down procedure of old not the new and improved stick your hands down my pants and twist pat down procedures.

A friend told me he flew into San Antonio yesterday and not only had his junk touched but it was twisted to boot. He said he didn't even get offered dinner first and he was afraid he'd get arrested if he'd punched the guy in the nose but was really just too freaked out to do anything.

This is what the government wants; sheeple that will let them even mess with your private parts without response.
But it's an apt comparison. Putin's Russia had prepared 40,000 body bags, mobile crematoriums, and had updated mass grave standards ahead of what they had believed was going to be a low casualty operation for taking over Ukraine. There's just no way of going about it: Russia was prepared to commit mass wholesale genocide of Ukrainians. The only reason why he had not succeeded was Ukrainian resolve and western weapons which they were armed with. Otherwise we'd be witnessing Katyn 2.0 from satellite view.
You should be fine with a trace buster.
It's more than just sharing code. It's all about your routes. In an isomorphic web framework: You write a single description of a route handler as a function from JSON to VDOM. That handler will load different dependencies on the client/server to create DOM/HTML. This is where the isomorphism thing comes from: the HTML generated on the server, once loaded by the clients HTML parser, will be equivalent to the DOM that would have been generated on the client. You could of course do this normally but you'd be responsible for maintaining a server operating on HTML in coordination with a client operating on DOM. An isomorphic web framework unifies these two worlds.

An isomorphic framework itself is effectively a proof (in the mathematical sense) of the statement: client-side rendering and server-side rendering are isomorphic.
Complexity theory had been explored, if not deeply, somewhat before what we'd consider "typical days of programming": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_complexity_theor...
You still didn't answer the question of why.

Why make this person crack.
It probably will, but don't discount the power of inflation.

Maybe it's time for your country to experience inflation at last - it's been mostly immune because it's the world currency, but your government has been spending like mad. (sorry, was thinking about the US, but I guess it applies to Australia too !!)

I've seen HUGE inflation rates in my country, so while I also think a million will still be a lot of money in 15 years, it's not a foolproof bet.

That said, the spirit of the question is understood (it's not about an arbitrary sum of money, it's about being wealthy enough to pursue other things).
They tried this back in 2007.

"I've just found out using tables to layout pages is a bad thing"

Because it harms your application, or because you read somewhere that is a bad thingt? Hacker News actually uses tables for layout... Don't worry about what you are supposed to do. Maybe a layout without tables would be better in a way, but to the end user it doesn't matter. Just focus on launching.
Well, once again known as Prince, anyways.
what about a number, can't we all just be a number... I'll start things off, call me 1
Droid is a Lucasfilm brand licensed by Verizon. Verizon uses that brand on its top of the line Android mobiles: Droid Eris (HTC Hero), Droid/Motorola Droid (Motorola Milestone) and Droid Incredible (HTC Incredible).

This means the "Droid" name is solely for the US under verizon, and those phones are called something else out of the US or when released unlocked or by Sprint.

And yes, it's incredibly misleading (and annoying as the Droid and the Droid Incredible have completely different UIs for instance as the Incredible uses HTC's Sense UI whereas the Droid ran a crippled stock Android system)
> There is a productivity valley between small teams (up to 5-8 people) and large teams (20+).

Sorry, but I don't agree with that at all. As soon as you have more than one person working on the same part of your code, you incur some degree of overhead. I don't see why the numbers 8 or 20 are special. Are you really claiming that a competent development team of 18 people cannot do more than a competent development team of 8 people?

To co-ordinate teams of many developers, we divide projects into manageable chunks, each with a relatively small number of developers working on them. This requires good abstraction tools, so that developers can see how their contribution fits into the larger picture, can work with the code written by others without having to know it in intimate detail, and can combine all the components into a complete product. Again, I don't see how this picture differs whether you have 8 people or 20 people, unless you're following some sort of surgical team model where you really are trying to get all of the smaller team working on the same code but most of them aren't actually writing that code at all.
Why shouldn't it be hard? Most things that are worth doing in life are hard - particularly anything that affords you an opportunity for freedom or creativity.
It's not market share - it's revenue, demographics, usage patterns, and time to market that encourage iOS first over Android. While it is true that Android crushes iOS on global market share, the other factors are reversed in iOS's favor. For example: http://www.businessinsider.com/ios-android-shopping-2013-12

Intuitively, this makes a lot of sense. Many Android phones are substantially less expensive than comparable iPhones, and thus act as a stand in for an old Nokia or Ericsson. Those users that purchase inexpensive Android phones often aren't using it as a smartphone - it's just the free or cheap phone they get with their contract, and the use it as a phone first and foremost. This is in direct contrast to the iPhone, where Apple's advertising de-emphasises the "phone" part of the equation.

This is further evidenced by the fact that expensive Android phones see comparable (or better!) engagement as compared to iPhones: http://info.localytics.com/blog/top_of_the_line_android_phon...

Also, keep in mind that the HN crowd is mostly interested US/Valley companies. Mobile market share numbers in the US are very different than global market share numbers, which leads to a lot of iOS first development in the US: http://www.comscore.com/Insights/Market-Rankings/comScore-Re... Hence why so many apps on HN seem to be iOS first.

All of this having been said, if the rising trend in Android revenue and engagement keeps up, along with the improvements Google is making to its developer tooling, it's likely that we'll see Android first start to happen. Some of this trend can be seen in the Localytics analysis above, though it isn't the whole story - App Annie's recent report is a great overview: http://blog.appannie.com/app-annie-index-retrospective-2014/

While there will almost certainly be some lag-time between the time that Android first becomes feasible (e.g. now-ish) and businesses actually going Android first due to psychological biases, once it becomes the more profitable option companies will choose it. Until then, iOS first wins.
I think people tend to use Clojure more because it has the Java VM and platform as support, which is a nice thing to have given its extension.

The .Net world has IronScheme which is very stable and interesting too.
Can you justify the subscription model? To me this is a major turnoff.
Hmm, so there was no averaging? One of the pilots just took control?

Completely agreed about the stall warning as well, I just didn't mention it. Don't warn about stalls unless there's actually danger of stalling!
I'm actually upset by this -- I'm on the $10/year for 20gb plan (I use unlimited photos, the 20gb are just home videos). I'm sure Amazon figured there would be a few people like me who wouldn't like this, but it still sucks.
"less acts of terror we'll have to endure.".. smh

How about the acts of terror that Palestinians endure by israeli occupiers? Oh wait... Palestinians are not jewish so its okay... .they werent chosen by god to be shipped in from europe and the north america to get a free homeland.
Any guesses as to why this would be so? My guess is that people thought they were reading faster at fewer words per line because there was less effort involved. If it were so, I wonder what it should mean for usability? Should you engineer things so that your users are more effective or so that they believe they are more effective?
But wouldn't that be a derivative work?
Judging by the scope of the attack on Belgacom in 2011 that battle is already underway, the surprise I guess should be that it is the allies attacking each other. If China or North Korea would have made an attack like this it would be trumpeted as an act of war, but because it is the UK with NSA assistance it's downplayed as much as possible.
Basically all of them. Linux loves thinkpads. I've personally run it on an old 770ED, T41P, T60, X301, and X1 Carbon flawlessly over decades.
> FoHo knows you get a third (specialized) reader if you're a legacy or a 'minority' (though we're not too sure how that's defined). We also think you get an additional reader if you're an athlete or development kid (i.e. you donated $$$).

This is how pretty much every major university does admissions, so not especially interesting. The one thing to note though is that athletes usually only get a boost if the coach actually goes to bat for them as part of the recruiting process, you're not going to get extra attention just because you played a sport.
Well, considering it was posted yesterday I'd hardly call it "old news".

Personally I'd be very interested in comparing ZFS and Btrfs without jumping through a bunch of hoops to do so.
I'm so pleased this is a unanimous decision. I hope the phone metadata issue comes before the supreme court. If they are unanimous on this, then I would guess they would rule that metadata on cell phone use is in effect a GPS tracking method. It should fall under the same category.

Yes, this has been happening to me as well for the past week or so. Also on Chrome latest.

look for users who tweeted in last X days? also look for their repliers+buddies, since they too are likely to be active. doesn't seem hugely complicated to me?
At least there is in Norway. (Try http://skattelister.no/ )

I'm not a US citizen, but I would expect the IRS to behave differently when dealing with organizations as opposed to citizens?
Any chance either of you could link? I've done it too but i was never completely happy with the result and it would be nice to see how other people have done it for some inspiration.
And how much growth potential is there in selling Active Directory, Excel, and Exchange?

Every sizable company already has these things installed. Smaller and new companies may choose to spend their dollars elsewhere and that's a change of events for Microsoft. Projects that previously would go on Sharepoint are now done less expensively with cloud services, for example.

In tech, growth is in consumer, and with consumer tech drifting in to the enterprise, even enterprise IT spending may not go to Microsoft.
Wait, what? There's an accountant and they've never bothered filing and now he's distressed because normally the IRS is super helpful?

Fire that accountant, get someone who's going to take it seriously.
Yeah, that looks about right!
I can think of a few: the US dollar, the railroad gauge, encryption algorithms, etc. The government is often the largest single customer of things so what they demand, someone provides. And since marginal cost is usually smaller than unit cost, one large guaranteed customer means that product or service is cheaper for everyone else than some competing product or service.
Perhaps not easier, but for many people (me included), Internet with all it’s diversity is far more addictive than plain old TV.
That's nice, but obviously there was no oversight, no logging, not even simple rate monitoring. That is, after all, why Manning was able to wget this massive cache of data, and they would be none the wiser had he not revealed his involvement to people or systems he falsely deemed trustworthy.
I continually say No when Google asks to link my accounts, but it's getting rather annoying. Google is doing whatever it can to get users on Google+ which I think makes sense for them. Maybe they have some greater vision that I don't know about, but Google isn't one to advertise that type of stuff.
Yup. Treat devs like cogs, treat software creation life factory work, then complain about how hard it is to find talent and execute on big projects.

Software is creative work, treat your team like a band. Maybe if you're lucky you can find a replacement for the bass player if he quits, but realistically when your team changes the way you get work done and the kind of work you'll get done will change too.

The OpenEnergyMonitor emonPi has been around a while and also quite good, and supports MQTT which I don't think IoTaWatt does.

[edit] I see it can use EmonCMS which is part of the OpenEnergyMonitor project.
Yes, but I don’t understand it. It sounds like these cards are only available in an app? In which case, sure, they can create scarcity because they control consumption, but they don’t need NFTs to do that.

On the other hand — if these cards are just like, JPG files, (which seems to be what most other commenters on here are talking about) then they can’t verify how many exist. It’s infinite and unknowable. Any time someone downloads the file, saves it to a flash drive, whatever, they’re making a copy.

What am I missing here?
I want to be able to charge a fee on top of my indexes before making "subscribable" by others. That'd attract a shitload of users ;)

Iconomi, to name one.

EDIT2: Is this available to non-US users? That'd be huge, as we are not able to access ARK directly , to name one
The program counter says single short, which normally means two bytes. The VM is cute but I don't understand its purpose: it doesn't gain much from its minimalism. I don't see much reason to emulate it in software if the host can run something better. Look instead at something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWEET16 or Forth.
I think you make a good psychological point. Many people prefer to read and write redundant code. This may well explain why FP is not more popular. But this attitude to writing complex systems leads to disaster, which is why most complex systems are so unbelievably bad.

At the code snippet level, 40 lines of redundant code may well be easier to read than 2 lines of, say, function composition. And 100 lines of familiar redundancy will feel much easier to work with than a small amount of strange-looking symbolic compactness. But anyone who believes that a million lines of redundant code are easier to work with than ten thousand lines of compact code (I'm making these numbers up) is deeply deluded. This is how software projects end up with hundreds of programmers frozen in concrete. (People think of code as a commodity, as if it comes in sheet rolls that you cut enough of until your project is complete. This is a fundamental mistake.)

The root issue is that the number of programmers content to crank out redunant code is at least an order of magnitude (maybe two) greater than the number who are capable of working effectively with abstraction.

If that's correct, then there's a market opportunity in it. A small startup with programmers who do know how to program in more powerful languages (FP or otherwise) ought to be able to achieve very ambitious things compared to large teams working with weaker tools. At some point, the quantitative advantage becomes a qualitative one. Small teams are able to do things that large teams simply can't, and small codebases can be worked with in ways that large codebases simply can't.
