My theory is that their real motivation is to ensure that there continues to be a robust mining ecosystem when the block reward falls off to the point that nobody wants to mine anymore without high transaction fees. So they proliferate a bunch of low cost mining gadgets that people will use primarily for the convenience it offers in making micropayments and in verifying identity, while they also do mining to ensure the health of the network but not actually make any significant money for the owner.

This would be the first iteration of their first gadget, which isn't cheap yet but could be if volumes are high enough, and future iterations would be cheaper and better.

The identity feature is my speculation based on tweets by the CEO about the need for better identity solutions and the enormous market for solving identity fraud problems. Not sure how a gadget like this addresses that but I think it is part of their plan.
Whether a large number of files becomes sluggish really depends on your file system. In any case, a common technique is to break large numbers of files into subfolders which usually does reasonably well at solving this problem.

I've been following Adams and the Trump thing with amusement. Aside from the 'Master Wizard' bit Trump's been against lobbyists, tax breaks for hedge funds and the Iraq war, all which could work in his favour. He even beat Clinton in one poll although it was a bit of a blip http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/donald-trump-beats-hillary...
The worst case scenario for a nuclear plant accident is millions of casualties and the long-term contamination of major population centers. 152 of the world's 211 nuclear power plants have more than 1 million people residing within 75 km. A plant in India has 16 million living within that radius. Fallout could be dispersed over an area thousands of miles wide.

The worst case scenario for an accident at a solar power plant or a wind farm - nothing like that.

Today's nuclear power plants are inherently unsafe. Most that are in operation depend on active cooling systems to prevent a meltdown. If these cooling systems are interrupted for any reason (e.g.: power failure, loss of coolant, pump breakdown, loss of pressure control, control rod failure, backup power source failure, control systems failure, natural disaster, attack, etc.) - even for a short period of time - then the fissile material will likely overheat the reactor and result in a core meltdown.

Sheer luck prevented a catastrophe in the case of the 2006 electrical failure at the Forsmark plant in Sweden. Two of the four backup power systems failed to activate [1].

Switching the emtire world's energy consumption over to safe, renewable energy sources would only take 20 years and cost $100 trillion (money which would be spent anyway on non-renewable energy infrastructure) [2]. There is no need to continue building unsafe coal and nuclear plants.

> a map the requires four colors has four nodes and 6 arcs

That's not the only case - there are an infinite number graphs that require 4 colors. It's possible that all of them have a subgraph with four nodes and 6 edges connecting them, but I don't know either way.

> So a map that would require five colors should have five nodes and ten arcs

How do you know there isn't a graph with 35 nodes and 127 edges that requires 5 colors?
I know that nuclear power is base-load power, not peaking power. Infrastructure is something of a passing interest of mine. :)

Last I checked, the majority of the US's power comes from coal-fired power plants. If there was the political will and public understanding, we could likely replace pretty much all of that with nuclear plants, reserving coal-fired, or oil-fired (or pumped-storage hydro, or flywheel storage, or...) plants to meet peak power demands.

> You seem to suggest that the fact that Fukushima was not adequately prepared for this tsunami was human failure, presumably because they should have expected such a tsunami to occur.

For your information, in France where we use nuclear energy a lot, we look for the most catastrophic events of the last 100 years to see how we protect our infrastructure.

The Japanese looked for the last 50, but there were a tsunami of similar height 85 years ago.

Also the local authority of nuclear security has made a few reports were they recommended to increase the height of the seawalls. Several times. Never followed.

And last but not least, the accident could have been prevented, but has been badly handled. With Japanese hiding information, not cooperating with trained international nuclear-firefighters, and minimizing the scale of the incident until the last minute. This is the biggest mistake of all, compromising lives, resources, ocean and earth...

How is it not a human failure ?
Short answer, yes. Long answer, read these:

Then what you can do is writing articles documenting the ongoing tragedy of using coal (though I think there's already many), rather than dismissing others' work.

Not quite. This is what happens when everyone doesn't give a damn about interoperability. Whenever they build new protocols (that no one else uses because not caring about interop) or unique services doesn't really matter.

There are many examples of non-interoperable protocols that do the same thing in a mutually incompatible manner. The most famous one, I suppose is GNU/Linux-surrounding ecosystem with its GUI toolkit mess and audio subsystem jungle.

The entire point of dask is to enable parallel and bigger than memory computations that are not be possible with NumPy arrays. It uses an internal graph representation for deferred computation because deferred computation is basically the only sensible way to do these computations. But in fact, a major point of dask is that users should not need to write these task graphs explicitly. The dask.array API is actually designed to be almost a perfect match for NumPy. The docs do a nice job of explaining the internal abstraction, but understanding it is by no means necessary to use it. (Dask is not my project, but I have made quite a few contributions to it.)

Numba certainly does deviate from mainstream Python, but in my experience it works very much in line with the needs and expectations of scientific python users.

As for Blaze, it's changed a long way since Travis wrote that blog post in 2012. This website provides a better overview of what Blaze is today: http://blaze.github.io/. Confusingly, the name is used for both an ecosystem and one of its major components more specifically. Dask is a component of the larger Blaze project.

It's true that OpenHAB doesn't have plugins for all possible hardware, but it does have both Wemo and Hue bindings. Because the Wemo/Hue 'interface' to the Echo it might be a bit combersome to set up or use, but the idea behind OpenHAB is the way forward: one central vendor-agnostic hub that drives all connected devices. This way, the only thing that needs to be done to add support for a protocol/device is to write a driver for the 'hub'. Otherwise each device needs to interface with every protocol out there, obviously impossible.

I've written my own 'hub' software for just this purpose.

I know that ZWave doesn't get much love from the OS crowd because 'proprietary' and 'Zigbee is an open standard', but ZWave works quite well wrt interoperability - because the ZWave consortium does some active interop checking and because everybody needs to use the same (debugged) chips and software, you don't have the situation of everybody writing their own slightly different implementation which is usually the source of 'interop in theory but not in practice' problems. Which is what is happening to Zigbee now, for that hand full of Zigbee devices you can actually buy.
I don't see why you would use Cython when you are writing C/C++ anyway. All the trivial data types and wrappers are easily handled by SWIG. Just don't try to wrap any non-trivial types with SWIG, instead declare them as `PyObject *` and use the Python/C API for those. Demo of this technique: https://github.com/martinxyz/python/tree/master/realistic
Well, I have to say I don't know the US infrastructure enough to have a bold opinion, but I know heavy infrastructure like these often have a sound design respectively to their constraints (which can be absurd).

The European power grid is very tight and well-meshed, this is why we can let our nuclear power plant and sell electricity to Switzerland, Germany or Netherlands or buy it.

I guess it's not as well interconnected in the US, so that states can't easily lend power which disable the use of nuclear power plant for many states ?

Python is no where near Lisp in code as data. Also, I think what's important is to marry the Lisp programming language and the Lisp Machines. The hardware was built with Lisp in mind. I am a fifth of the way through a 1991 book called "The Architecture of Symbolic Computers" by Peter M. Kogge, and it is like my eyes have opened wide. No more splitting hairs over Ruby, Python, Clojure, Linux, OSX and Windows: Give me a machine tailored for the software running on it. the Von Neumann register-based machine cannot efficiently serve all, it bottlenecks. People talk about Linux as the break away from the Windows and Mac OS crowd, but let's face it, it is all the same thing running on Von Neuman architecture hardware. There are people trying to build machines from scratch to run their own OS on. I hope somebody succeeds. I don't think we need to go back to Lisp Machines, but there's a lot of gold nuggets there to mine and re-use. Technology doesn't age linearly. Sometimes things are forgotten, and need to be rediscovered for progress to jump again. I work in Common Lisp (SBCL, LispWorks), Racket (Scheme), and I play with PicoLisp (incredible for its size). Shen is something I am trying to wrap my head around (optional typing, and optional laziness, functional, pattern matching, and there implementations of the small instruction set it runs on for many common languages - CL (SBCL), Java, Ruby, Python, JavaScript, Haskell, Clojure...

They've started advertising it on TV recently in the UK, and that's the only reason I've heard of it, but I'd assumed it was a new service, not something that had been running for several years so the valuation did surprise me!

No, it's not, it's actually great that there are literally hundreds of them. They are just the 'hubs'. Whatever 'hub' implements most 'protocol bindings' and provides the best added value on top of it, 'wins'. And if one gets behind, you can 'easily' (depending on circumstances...) switch to another without having to replace the devices.

I agree. I'd like to add: don't use graphite as a moderator, because it can burn in case of a fire.

Chernobyl had many known design problems ever before it exploded. It's misleading to imply that it was consider a good design before.

I'll echo @dagw's comments. Cython has been rock solid for me for a long time and it is my go to for any sort of external c/c++ library interfacing. That said, I find myself using Numba more and more in the places that I can as Numba has gotten significantly better in the last 6 months or so. It's still not a complete replacement for cython (and I don't think it ever will or intends to be), but for hot spot numerical calculations it's really nice since it's much faster to test things out since it doesn't involve the boiler plate required by Cython, and doesn't require the (often slow) compilation times.

In Numba 0.21.0, on-disk caching of jit'd code was also introduced, which was one of the major sticking points for us to put Numba into production in areas where we needed faster start-up times. Before we could really only use Cython because we required the start-up times available only from AOT compilation.

That all said, Numba has been a bit buggy for me at times, although these get squashed pretty quickly. I've only found a single bug in Cython in all of the years I've been using it, and it's amazing how quickly Robert Bradshaw or Stefan Behnel respond and fix things considering Cython is not their full time job.
