It doesn't actually make much difference if you consider it to be human or not. All future nuclear stations will add it to their massively long list of safety considerations. I think that is something that people miss in an argument like this. Due to the complexity of the operations it is very expensive and difficult to guarantee safety. Moreover, it is very hard for anyone outisde the industry to reason effectively about those safety issue. Ironcially this is exactly the problem we have with coal. It looks safe, but has unexepected consequences that are frightfully difficult and expensive to address. Simplicity is very much a feature and nuclear power in its current form lacks it.
I think that the US either has a national power grid, or has one for the West and East halves of the country. Obviously, throwing power across the whole damn continent is far less efficient than just throwing it across a state.

I've -very recently- heard people making the claim that Texas has its own grid, but that's news to me. Maybe the situation in Texas is that they have all the power gen capacity that they need within the state, and are also hooked into the national grid. shrug

Charlie Munger has mentioned the same "use theirs first" approach:

Ask HN: What are your opinions and experiences coding on a 13“ or 15” laptop?
I am writing this on a 15" Dell laptop that I bought about 8 years ago. It has served me well for everything from gaming (dedicated graphics card inside) to coding to dual booting Windows and Ubuntu.. but it is time for an upgrade.

I do like the 15inch screen size but this Dell is big and clunky. It's pretty heavy too. It's been a while since I programmed on this one because it is a bit slow now.

I have also programmed on a 10" netbook. I did a lot of programming on it but I do think it is too small.

I am trying to decide between a 13" MacBook Pro and a 15" MacBook Pro. Obvious advantages of the 15" are i7, 16GB RAM and larger screen space! The 13 inch has an i5, 8 GB RAM.

I don't have to travel with it much but I will be attending an evening course once a week until Xmas so I do have to bring it out of the house for that. Do people still carry about 15 inch laptops?

When I get my new laptop (whichever one I choose) I will be starting a new project. The project will involve lots of text analysis, neural network stuff, web crawler, database stuff (PostgreSQL), front end web stuff (python/javascript), mobile app dev (iPhone & android). So with this very brief overview, do you have any recommendations?

I am totally for Open Source (and Open Science), but I dislike copyleft licenses (cf. "2. Use a Share-Alike License").

And while Share Alike have their (good) use-cases, IMHO it is bad to recommend them as the default; the best standard is CC-BY or MIT/BSD.

Why? For me "open" means "open" - i.e. can be used by anyone, for anything (not "open, but only for the openness believers... and only of the same creed"). All share-alike clauses have issues:

- viriality (you have to get infec... I mean: accept another license instead of the one you are using),

- kosher rules (e.g. you can't combine GPL with CC-BY-SA).

So, with the openness, you can't beat the WTFPL (http://www.wtfpl.net/).

Show HN: Discover the Audience Building Platform – HAAARTLAND
That's interesting, but how is any commodity able to have it's price pushed down by a single seller dumping from a fixed reserve? If the market notice that the extra supply is coming from a fixed reserve, then they'd rightly be able to infer that at some point the supply will run out, and prices will return to market value, which would in turn drive up prices again. It probably won't go back to the previous equilibrium price because of the cost of storage and interest, but it should be close.

You are right. After a 10 days course of Vipassana my focus and attention span greatly improved. But you need to keep practicing. I kept practicing for about a month then I stopped. After stopping, slowly I acquired again the old habit of getting easily distracted. I need to take that (free) course again.
But it's actually, surprisingly, arguably, a valuable metric which, for whatever reason, was never done "in the real world" before, until the show requested it from actual researchers:

I don't actually watch the show and this is the first I've heard of this "score", that article was surprising to me.
I was curious about this;
Ethnologue, which seems to be the base reference on this says:

The exact number of unwritten languages is hard to determine. Ethnologue (17th edition) has data to indicate that of the currently listed 7,105 living languages, 3,570 have a developed writing system. We don't always know, however, if the existing writing systems are widely used. That is, while an alphabet may exist there may not be very many people who are literate and actually using the alphabet. We have data to indicate that 696 languages are unwritten. And for the remaining 2,839 languages we have no data.
Source: https://www.ethnologue.com/enterprise-faq/how-many-languages...

Also of intrest on the same site is this page:
http://www.ethnologue.com/statistics/size
which shows the distribution of first-languages by number of speakers. The top 90 languages account for 80% of the world. The bottom 1% of languages ~5765 have a cumulative ~70M speakers.

The standard proof does use nodes and arcs (or vertices and edges, which I am taking to mean the same thing). A proper coloring must assign distinct colors to neighboring vertices, but this doesn't mean that vertices with the same color are identified.

Here's an overview of the simplest version of the proof as of 1998: http://www.ams.org/notices/199807/thomas.pdf .
This should shed some light on why the proof is as complicated as it is. (See especially the section on equivalent formulations.)

The Fantoni / Nunes Bridge Cheating Scandal
But this does work in practice - it basically describes OPEC's current strategy, and perhaps relates to Starbucks' ongoing market strategy, etc.

The price may return to the equilibrium price at some point, but the single seller is able to hold it low for as long as they have reserves to dump. If other sellers are dependent on sales, then they must compete.
> I think that the US either has a national power grid, or has one for the West and East halves of the country

It would makes sense.

One of the Showscan demonstration theaters was in a Chucky-Cheese Pizza restaurant in Northern Virginia, in the 80s. I went to see the demo film and was amazed. I've been a fan of high frame rate ever since. Sadly, Hollywood seems uninterested. I saw the first two Hobbit films in HFR and liked it. I believe James Cameron wants to use it for the next Avatar film. I hope they release an HFR version that is NOT in 3D. That wasn't done for the Hobbit and I think that was a mistake.
That can be fixed with pricing. Charge more during peak, less during surplus. France relies on nuclear for about 80% of its power. Power is cheaper at night than during the day. As a result, almost all appliances like dishwashers, washing machines, dryers and water heaters come with timers that allow you to use the cheaper power.
Well, I would not call it a huge success yet. Certainly it gained some traction and lots of people use it here (I'm from Germany), but in the past it was repeatedly shown that BlaBla Car's business model has no lock-in at all and that it will be very difficult to monetize their reach.

Predecessors of their ride-sharing platform here tried to charge (low) fees and users switched platforms rapidly or tried to circumvent paying fees (canceling of rides when drivers/passengers already have shared contact details). BlaBla Car could only grow to its current size because they did not charge anything.

This busines model can't be compared to Uber/Airbnb/... in my view and I really don't know who invested at this valuation and how they want to earn that much...

I called out exactly the sorts of complications you're talking about - those taxes go towards funding the centrally planned welfare state I mentioned (I'm generalizing across western countries here, of course there are exceptions) as well as policing, education, defence, market regulation activities, etc.

Of course there are differences between a milkman and a banker, but fundamentally capitalism is about freedom and individual rights and striking an equitable balance between those and the common good.

My father in law is Chinese. He remembers when his family were cast out on to the street and lost everything, because they owned a few plots of land that they rented out to neighbors in their rural village and were therefore capitalists. So when you start talking about capitalism, let's be clear. We're talking about the basic right to own personal property, and those arguing against capitalism are arguing for taking that away. They've done it before and given the chance will do it again. It's not theory, it's my family history, but is something that is directly relevant to every single one of us.

Yeah, but just once though, and not to read the article there (obviously). You just saved it to "read it later".

Yes actually the goal of all companies is to make profit, as much as possible. I know, it annoys me too, for example Apple says their mission is to "leave the world better than how we found it", but I'm skeptical about that ;-)
Yeah sorry my post reads like 'I know it's possible', it was more meant as a 'it's theoretically possible, if it's not possible right now it's because nobody has done it yet'. The OP sounds like its a fundamental problem, my point was that it's just an implementation problem.

"Tragically, the folks who make the hardware disagree. :("

Not all of them do, actually most don't; but even for those who do, the good thing is that we don't need them (mostly). Most of these protocols aren't rocket science, so even those where manufacturers tried to lock it down, people have reverse engineered it (e.g. Somfy). And the good thing is that because it's hardware, vendors can't just roll out a 'patch' or break the interface in the next cycle because that'd leave their existing customers in the cold.

Look, I understand the point, and it would be great if everybody went kumbayaa around The One Perfect Standard, but the situation is not as fundamentally flawed as the OP laments.
