Given the inherent safety and drastically lower waste production of these reactors, I doubt that'll be a problem. Given your dedication to eliminating subsidies, I'm sure you'll be happy to remove those enjoyed by wind and solar while we're at it.

Or maybe both of us should quit bickering, support each other's favorite technologies, and remember that it's fossil fuels destroying the climate, while benefiting from far larger subsidies than either nuclear or renewables have ever seen.
That's the way he's always been. Remember the "bitter clingers" remarks?

We do a substantial amount of support at ExpeditedSSL [1] via email for precisely the reasons the author mentions.

It's asynchronous but lets you respond quickly and for startups will likely be sufficiently organized to keep things moving without a full blown helpdesk application.

Secondly, it lets you be extremely precise and copy & paste friendly in a way that phone calls can't match. Ex: we often have to help people set their DNS entries and it's much easier to email someone the following than explain it.

Please set your www CNAME to fugu-1111.herokussl.com

Email is in fact so predominant as a support tool that you can actually go quite far with managing support requests in your email client before you need a dedicated support app/service. Modern email clients that nicely group emails into threads are more than adequate to get started.

If you are aiming for the short-term customer, I doubt there will be too much demand for it.

Reasons:

1. There's too much logistics overhead.
2. People are probably in a hurry and probably won't plan ahead. Imagine you are in a rush. Can you find the spot?
3. For places where parking is in high demand, there are probably already many parking garages available. They are more expensive, but they are much simpler.

How about renting out long-term parking spots instead? Say a week or month at a time? This would target the following:

1. People who live nearby who hate hunting for parking spots all the time.
2. People who don't like parking their car out in the street, and would like a covered spot somewhere.
3. Lower logistics and coordination. Stable income for parking spot owners. Win win on both sides.

Culture, really. Trust.

Where I work, Engineering owns the estimates. No ifs, buts or maybes. We own estimates. Product managers have unlimited ability to reprioritise, but we and we alone get to say how hard it's going to be.

That said, another secret is: use story points. They are dimensionless units that are only meaningful within a single project. As soon as you give dollars or days, everybody has an opinion or an agenda.

But if you use points and project based on velocity, it's hard to negotiate. Because you're not negotiating. Those are the actual numbers. The actual historical data, staring you in the face.

You are absolutely correct, of course. My apologies.

Let me offer my opinion on where this sort of thing comes from.

Why would someone say something like that?

Well, because voting on HN (and other platforms) is still broken. People will down-vote you simply because they don't like what you are saying or if you are saying something that paints a different light on their hero, ideology, etc. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the strength or quality of the argument at all. And, because of this, it also does not open the doors for discussions.

For those of us who might not align with the most prevalent culture on HN (pick a topic, there's a favored ideology) this can be rather frustrating at times. You have rules for all sorts of things but no enforceable rules for when and how to down-vote and people don't have to justify their down-vote in any way at all. I have the ability to down-vote yet I don't remember when and if I have ever exercised it. Because, for the most part, I don't feel it is a fair system.

Personally, I think down-voting ought to be eliminated because it is conducive to emotional or ideological abuse, particularly by the younger members of the audience. Up-voting is a far more positive type of engagement and one where if you don't like the argument you simply do nothing about it or pick the one you think might be better. With software limiting such things as rate-of-voting and mass up-voting one could make it far more civil. For example, a reader might get only two or five up-votes per thread or some such thing.

Sometimes you look at topics where, perhaps, you'd like to contribute some experience and the first thought is "crap, if I write anything on this I am going to be showered with down-votes" and that's where, sometimes, making that comment comes from.

I would urge you to view such comments not as rules violations but rather a symptom of something that might need to be addressed.

Facebook is dealing with this right now with their like/don't-like voting system. Their reasons and platform are different, of course.

Learning does not happen when everyone agrees with you. A healthy dose of counterpoint is how you learn. I know it's difficult to manage these kinds of fora, I've done it in the past, back in USENET days, and it was a nightmare. Your job isn't easy. Just take what I said as constructive criticism and nothing more. HN is excellent, so you are doing something right.

Thanks.
Wow. I'd had to search LKML to find the patch, and I wondered why the article didn't seem to have a link. Turns out the article's CSS makes the link almost completely indistinguishable from regular text. Text uses dark grey (#3a3a3a), and links use black (#000000), with no decoration either.
For a third of that price, you can get a box that's also got a built-in ethernet switch and two WiFi interfaces. You're paying a ton for software convenience.

I live on a few acres about 15 miles outside a small town in rural New Mexico. The closest big cities are 3 hours away and those cities aren't actually very big. We (SO and I) grow a nice garden and have a well, but go into town for work. Initially I had intended to work from home but it became entirely too isolated. When I caught myself going outside to have a conversation with the chickens I realized it was time for a change, and I wound up leasing an office.

There is much positive about living simply and remotely.

Now the negative: You might want to go to a decent restaurant at some point. Also, intelligent conversation is a rarity. The folks you meet and deal with in rural settings often have stunted world views and not much ambition. That, in my experience, is the biggest problem with going (in this case only partially) "off-grid" in a remote area.

We have met with guys from JAWS at AWS re:Invent last week and they are doing great job with it! We don't look at them as competition, but rather brothers in arms who aim the same goals of building serverless platforms on AWS. We are pretty sure that we will partner in the near future, mainly because from our humble experience, customers who need help with Serverless AWS are overwhelmingly a lot, but developers and partners who can meaningfully help them - very few.
how about you quote the whole wiki article?

"The World Health Organization (WHO) suggests it could reach 4,000 civilian deaths, a figure which does not include military clean-up worker casualties.[5] A 2006 report predicted 30,000 to 60,000 cancer deaths as a result of Chernobyl fallout.[6] A Greenpeace report puts this figure at 200,000 or more.[7] A disputed Russian publication, Chernobyl, concludes that 985,000 premature cancer deaths occurred worldwide between 1986 and 2004 as a result of radioactive contamination from Chernobyl.[8]"

after the dam in china broke, the area became habitable. tchernobyl's surroundings not so much.

the nice thing about radiation is the long term effects that make it so hard to measure. genetic issues in newborns are kind of hard to stomach.

and right now the waste figures worldwide do not include the reactors and buildings themselves. what exactly are you proposing there? using the nuclear reactor in the center of our solar system seems like a better bet.

> she explained that for the job the inspectors, on average, eat two restaurant meals a day almost every day of the week except weekends, at least 200 meals a year. They are on the road constantly. “It’s not that we’re trying to be secretive for its own sake,” she said, “but … we want to maintain the quality and integrity of the process.”

OP: Did you find that the age of the man made a difference?

So are older or younger men the worst offenders? I would like to think that older man are worse and the younger generation are more aware and less sexist. But maybe that is not the case.
If 99% of males are decent as the article describes, all this does is creates the illusion that all police officers are racist. It's only news because it's sensational.
Circuit breakers are unsuitable for protecting against long-term (near-)overloads, depending on circuit breaker rating they reliably trip only at overcurrents several times their rated current (with two times the rated current being the lowest and quite rare rating). I've seen three phase 25A circuit breaker catch fire from being run at slight overload for few weeks.

For home/office installations in 230V systems, almost any dead short is enough to trip circuit breaker (and probably several of them in the current path), regardless of wire cross sections involved, as the fault loop impedance will still be small enough to cause >100A of fault current.

Common cords with CEE 7/7 plug on one end and IEC C13 on the other have 0.75mm^2 conductors, which seems to be sufficient for the 10A/70C rating. Two wire lamp cords (and Europlug->C7 cables) are also 0.75m^2. Normal three wire extension cords are 1.0mm^2 or 1.5mm^2 depending on length and (trustworthiness of) manufacturer. Recently, there are also two wire extension cords (CEE 7/17 -> CEE 7/17 "socket" for things like lawnmowers and Europlug -> Europlug socket for who knows what), these usually are 0.75mm^2.

In Czech republic, copper wiring in walls for sockets and lighting tends to be almost universally 1.5mm^2 with 2.5mm^2 used for long runs or industrial installations. It's my understanding that current Czech wiring standards essentially removed any ampacity->crosssection tables and derating factors and only specify allowed resistance of the wire run and it's temperature rise under load. I assume that something similar is also true across rest of the EU.

Evapolar Is a Mini Climate Control System for Your Desk
Possible band aid: a webcam at each booth, recording the entire conference audio/video, which will then managed by the convention/conference organizers. If sexual harassement is noted, the person who was harassed can go to the organizers who can then review the recordings which they can then use as a rationale to blacklist that person at their conference (but not at all).

Reasons why this might not be a terrible idea:

1) It's a public place and you are interacting, often times, with complete strangers. While I can't speak for everyone, these social events make me be on my best behavior, which is conveniently the same behavior I would have if I were on camera.

2) By virtue of being handled by the conference organizers, one company won't be singled out. One company recording people is strange, but an accepted practice by a third party would be far more forgivable.

Arg. I knew the rules were changing, and I thought they were changing on the 1st of July, so I got my application in a week before that... it turns out they changed the day before my application was "accepted", so it was denied, and I must live in Canada for another 2 full years before I even qualify to apply.

Normally that wouldn't be so bad, but I've just set off on two years around Africa, which means it's going to be a long, long time before I have 5 continuous years in Canada. Oh well, at least I can remain a permanent resident essentially forever.

I have actually been living and working in Whitehorse for the last 4 years, as I wanted to save enough money to do something big again (going for 2+ years around Africa in my Jeep).

While Whitehorse is a city, I have world-class mountain biking from my backyard, and 20 minutes from town in any direction I have no cell reception and rarely see other people on the weekends. 3 hours from town we can be hundreds of kilometers from the nearest person.
> It's people being assholes to each other.

This.

One's freedom ends where another's freedom ends. I don't see anything wrong with asking a member of the opposite gender out for dinner - in fact, going to dinner is a far better socializing experience than at a crammed event - but outright sexual harrassment is totally not cool.

edit: yeah, I know it's against the rules to complain on downvoting, but seriously? Up, down, up down. And shit, no one tries to explain why he/she tried to downvote me into oblivion. Where has the discussion culture gone?
Looks beautiful. Support for google photos would make this more versatile.
Off-topic, but your article's design looks beautiful. What did you use to generate it, e.g. a converted IPython notebook, or homemade CSS plus MathJax? And what did you use for the figures?
That's going to be problematic, lots of people at conferences talk in low voice about confidential things. Surely there's better ways to combat harassment than pervasive surveillance.
Emacs to vim boggles my mind. I mean, I've been a vim die-hard for decades now, but I'm not sure there's a compelling reason to switch from emacs to vim or vice-versa. To my mind they are pretty much equivalent feature wise.
My daughter has been going with me to DEF CON since she was eleven. She's 20 now and this year at DEF CON while she was hanging out at a party with our pen-test team an individual walked up and asked: "how much for the girl." I'm honestly very glad I wasn't there to hear that. This whole behavior is completely confusing. On what planet is that sort of behavior, even when inebriated even remotely acceptable? It's degrading, unprofessional, and frankly well beyond just being sexist. Maybe the guy just wanted to be punched in the face?
OT: I've always wondered if powered mini-transportation tools like electric boards and scooters could fix the gaps in mass transit. Make it so that stops are less frequent/further apart, with the assumption that the last few miles can be covered on your personal device. Instead of buses that have to stop every block, they just run express service between major hubs.

Individuals only have to own/maintain only a <$1000 electric scooter with zero emissions. While the big expensive bus is a pooled resource.
My personal favorite of the ones that I've gotten...

I guess we have tried to show the value to both developers and businesses. Would you like to read in README more technical details or more none technical examples on how this is already used by other people? To be honest, we have tried to explain it similar to AngularJS, that we are using on frontend, but I guess we failed you here.
Funnily enough I have noticed that this does actually happen. My current position is at a company that works in the building industry and we often get non-IT members of the company saying stuff like that about IT people.

But I don't think really compares to the sexism though. Being in a different department means they do not have any actual control over us and we actually make more money than other departments (not including management positions). So I am sure it does not feel as threating and demeaning as the sexism experienced by woman.
On the other hand, I've worked with an astonishing number of men who live in a state of rather tortured denial of the outsize challenges women face in the workplace. I've even known a couple of women who deny it. It's even more stupefying than those who insist that racism is a solved problem in America.

I'm not sure where it comes from. Personal experience, background must be important factors. But it strikes me as a fairly activist, difficult position to take. I think some of these folks think they are just fitting in by voicing denial and anger about patently obvious forms of sexism. A lot of it comes from political group identification, too.
Anecdotally, the Michelin restaurants in Japan optimize for much much more than just food. The most expensive meal I've ever had was at Kikunoi in Kyoto (3 Michelin stars). I was excited about this meal for MONTHS. And although I do love traditional Japanese food, the meal was - to be honest - worse than most Bib Gourmand meals I've had here in SF. Atmosphere and presentation - divine - but the food wasn't nearly as tasty as the 1000 yen bentos.
This is a terrible idea, and is basically like a cop out towards "I don't want to have to think about this // it happens everywhere so stop talking about it."

The community/work atmosphere around tech, and the implications that atmosphere has on acceptance within the tech community, has direct implications for the future of education and work within the field.

It's absolutely vital that people (especially women) have a relevant place to discuss these things, so that people who read tech news are not ignorant to the ongoing discrimination and oppression within the industry.
> We are not yet in a world where cloud > local for the top 45% of Dell's most profitable customers (think big, very big). And if we ever get there, I don't think they will be looking to Dell/VM for a solution.

> Those "whales" are going to want a more integrated solution, so Amazon, Google, and Msft will take their cloud services one step further--further away than Dell/VM will ever be able to take it: dedicated fiber for their largest customers. How? Any of these three can lour their existing client base as bait and cut a deal with the Verizon and ATTs of the world for bulk (dedicated) bandwidth purchases. And if they don't have enough existing clients (Azure) they can post a cash-bond guaranteeing revenues to the telecom (just like msft did with the record companies to sell music in Win8).

You're kidding, right? Dell has provided the solutions for two of those three companies. The datacenter segment of their business is both successful and demolishing its only real competitor: a crumbling HP.

Dell's able to build and deliver ridiculously energy efficient datacenters at scale, very quickly. And they do, for Microsoft, eBay, and a number of other companies.

Their competitive advantage on the hardware side is substantial. Controlling VMWare would catapult the software side of things very, very far forward. If they want to build a new cloud platform, they've got extremely strong fundamentals to launch it from. If not, well, they'll probably power whoever does build it in some way (and profit handsomely).
