Thanks saurik, I somehow missed the fqxi.org article submission when searching before (re)submitting the nature.com article.
A 6 day study on diet in 19 people somehow generating meaningful conclusions about weight loss in general is absurd. It does seem like you could learn something about rates of change - are we speedboats or supertankers - but that's about all.
Thanks! It's an interesting article, it really takes the compiling to the next level.

The heating water part is really common here in Germany and not that big of a deal, and not just for new constructions. Basic heat storage/exchange parts often easily fit in existing rooms or even in the space the old heating system took.

You only see either solar cells or heat collectors though.

Why there are no/not many combined setups, no clue. Maybe the efficiency goes down to much and limits the range of regions where it is viable? Maybe there are regulatory issues with water + power systems so close together (driving up installation and maintenance prices).
Immunotherapies are all the rage in cancer treatment these days. Please, OP, read the parent post, and get information on how immunotherapies work. There have been LOTS of advances lately, in many medical areas, thanks to these new techniques.

Lennart's basic premise for doing this is quite wrong. Not completely groundless, but still substantially wrong. He writes:

> [su] will given you kind of a shell, and it’s fine to use it for that, but it’s not a full login, and shouldn’t be mistaken for one.

Well, yes, by default. But... that's what "su -" is for. Gives you new root shell as a treat, complete with env clean-up and running root's preferred shell interpreter.

Granted, having to type two extra characters each time is mildly annoying, but hardly a good reason to produce grand claims like "su is really a broken concept".

Finger hex is much simpler, though you can't count as high (2^5):

I agree, for local driving. There is an infrastructure problem for long-distance driving, which is slowly being solved now. Tesla has it solved for their cars in many areas.

I think that a lot of people don't really understand, on a deep level, how living with an EV actually works. Much of the discussion I see seems to be based on the idea that an EV works like a gas car, except you use a plug instead of a nozzle when you fill it up at the station.

> Another point is the still-missing charging infrastructure

I've had two electric cars. I've only charged publicly a few times. Many parking garages have installed chargers. I charge at home in my garage. I wake up every morning with a full charge. Many people who've only owned gas-powered cars don't consider this advantage.

A Nissan Leaf or a BMW i3 can only go 80 to 100 miles on the battery. But that covers the average commute of nearly every American commuter. With a charging place at work, you'd be able to swing a 70 to 100 mile daily commute and never need a public fast-charging infrastructure. If you commute more than 100 miles each direction, an EV may not be for you.

http://energy.gov/eere/vehicles/workplace-charging-challenge...

For long distance driving and fast charging, that's currently a mess. Only Tesla has a respectable offering on that front. It's worth considering that most people don't drive long distances very often.

Tesla has made a huge investment. One might speculate that their proprietary infrastructure will eventually become the standard charging network everyone is waiting for.

Why is it possible to set traffic lights wrong?
It seems like a rather simple algorithm to check if the traffic lights on a given intersection is set in a wrong/dangerous/conflicting way. Why is it not done?

Long story: I had a traffic an ugly traffic accident the last Friday. The area is new, all the traffic light equipment was installed recently. I had a green left arrow, so I was turning left. Three cars in front of me in the same left turning lane, one behind me. So I am sure I had the green arrow and also I am sure it was there when I was entering the intersection. Suddenly, there was a car approaching me going straight from the opposite direction. There was no time to avoid, just hit brakes and pray.

The girl driving the other car told me she had a green light too, going straight. I could not believe. So, I went to the intersection yesterday and watched lights. I had seen it: straight in one direction and green left arrow in the opposite direction overlapping for almost a minute.

I called the police to report the traffic hazard.

They did not sound surprised at all. I am assuming that there is a lot of software involved in traffic light control nowadays. Obviously, there are three independent inadequacies: (1) software that allows programming traffic lights in a dangerous way, (2) software that controls traffic lights and (3) the person who did the setup. Why is it not done the right way?

Right-o on remnants. I'd rather we display no ad than a low quality one. The most valuable type of ad is the brand establishment ad, where they care more about mass demographics than tracking users.

Wow, I had no idea... clearly I don't deploy software to my Mac often enough. NeXT had an uninstall, I assumed that carried over.

The pkg manager does track all the files it installs, so it's a trivial script to go "uninstall" them. Anyway, good reason to stick with Homebrew.
I've heard various things about how this software is written, but in short generally there should be failsafes. I don't know where you live - but I know where I live at least a buddy that worked on writing the control software told me they have a hardware module that basically shuts down the computer controlling the light if two "conflicting" green instructions are to be sent - and sets the light into the flashing red all stop condition.

I have heard, never asked my buddy to check honestly because I never thought much of it, that prolog and various other logic languages are used to do some of the traffic light control work. As I said - I'm not sure if that's true, but if so, it would certainly make sense, and should make these kind of cases near impossible to get into.

I should step back some from it being a bad name... It's actually a great name, it just conflicts with an in-use library that does substantially the same thing for another platform.

Is there a convention where the 'node-' prefix is off-limits for any reason? I don't know if it's really any better but if this were 'node-cproto' I wouldn't have commented.

Most of the new installations are linked to energy leasing vehicles. Water doesn't work there. Also, most folks use gas or propane to heat water, and gas prices are very low.

People spend a lot money in heating water. My folks did a hot solar hot water system in the 90s, and I think that the payback period was something like 3 years.

The system exchanges a fluid (I think glycol, but don't quote me) into a coil in front of the water heater water supply. So instead of dumping cold water in the tank, you're feeding it warm water. With a tankless system, it's even better.
While you can count very high using this method, it's quite difficult to make some of the numbers. I've found the optimal tradeoff to be base-6; using one hand to keep track of the first position and the other the second position.

I work remote and I can tell you I end up working around 60 hours a week. Or at least making myself available for that long. And this is exactly the reason employers are choosing remote work over on site. They will have a developer available at some time zone at any time of the day and also all of them available at the core hours.

This goes against part time work. By allowing you to work from anywhere (Which is absolutely awesome, writing this from a Fuerteventura beach) you unofficially allow them to get a hold of you for longer hours. This has been the case with my last three remote jobs.
Sure. just followed you on github if that's sufficient. i'm not much of a social media person, so let me know if you want to connect via email.

btw, another project idea of mine is to create a stream-of-consciousness editor: you create the content (code, meta-information about the code, whatever) as it "comes to you" and then figure out a place for it later. this is obviously the opposite of how our current file-based editors work, but in its simplest form its not that different in its implementation (autosave untitled files and allow them to be renamed, for example). What would be really cool is to have chunks of content belong to multiple documents, or being able to copy-n-paste by linking and so forth. Again, nothing that hypertext itself isnt already, just a concrete implementation in an editor context.

one more for "when I get to it" :)
I think that changes treatment choices, but I don't think it changes diagnosis. Plenty of people with cancer aren't affected by it (yet), but that doesn't mean they wouldn't be diagnosed with the disease.

That's just part of the tapering off of subsidies for renewable energies as they become more widespread. Although the amounts can be discussed, renewables are still very much subsidised with public money, and solar is no exception.

I've been a customer of Ecotricity for a while now, and they've been able to consistently improve their mix while keeping prices stable. I don't believe the regulatory environment is working against them, and they don't make that claim either.

Great read.

I found it very interesting in how this might scale for you. Is it possible to continuously source, say 2000 leads/month for your clients?

Some further questions.

1. What process do you go through to both source the contacts, and to verify their quality (e.g UpWork team to scrape etc.)

2. Have you any feedback on how successful this has been for clients (e.g response rates)

Good luck with this, and really hope it works for you.

I think you may be conflating deviation from expectation, which is just a percentage dependent on the width of the distribution, with statistical significance. An experiment with 5 std. dev. significance[0][1] could still confirm a value that is 2.1 std. dev. above the center of the range[2] that was originally predicted.

Corrections welcome.

Hi! As someone also diagnosed with ADD I know what you mean. But that's still a control relationship, whether it's the teacher controlling me or me controlling myself to do something dull.

I don't know about you, but I've never had any problem focusing on anything I found interesting; even in high school 12-hour coding marathons were easy for me. In one of Hallowell and Ratey's books they talk about how a better name for it would be "Attention Inconstancy Syndrome". But we have the name because in our industrial model of education teachers expect controllable students, and so see our difference as a deficit.

All humans have limited attention spans, and different people have different limits. The problem for me wasn't my difference per se, but the expectation that I conform to patterns of behaviors that work for others. Now that I'm an adult and can define my own life, I'm no longer a "problem", just different.

The 'invention' part of this setup is not their mirror configuration, which just looks pretty and possibly is easy for them to build and deploy in spaces where space is a problem. You have to admit that it looks good in that sunflower field. Their footprint looks like it's <2m^2, sort of like a billboard, that makes it very attractive to place wherever.

As it says in the article, the actual interesting part is how they generate the energy, apparently with a GaAs that's cooled with some sort of futuristic microfluidic water system. If that works well just the receptor can be a very profitable product, they can let others worry about mirror configurations and deploying in farm lands.

While it should not be possible for the software to decide to turn on a conflicting configuration of lights, it is possible that something was mis-wired or mis-configured (consistently between the monitor and the control system, if it was in fact set up the way it should be, per lexicalscope's comment) such that the monitor and control system were not aware that that configuration of lights was dangerous. There is nothing inherent to the physical configuration of wires and colored glass that will mean "left arrow on side B" to a microcontroller.
