@David, after upgrading from 7.7.0 to 8.0.0.dev0, sentry health api /_health/?full=1 reports
{"healthy":{"CeleryAppVersionCheck":false,"CeleryAliveCheck":false},"problems":["Background workers haven't checked in recently. This can mean an issue with your configuration or a serious backlog in tasks.","Celery workers are referencing a different version of Sentry (8.0.0.dev0 vs 7.7.0)"]}

and the website has two red bars for these warning, but the reporting mechanism seems work well, and there are no warning/error records in logs.

Do these warnings have serious problem? how can I fix these warnings? (I've totally removed old sentry files in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sentry* and made a fresh installation)

Thanks!

> The main problem is that the networks are usually owned by monopoly utilities with interests in power generation. How much do you think they want to upgrade if the net result is more competition? Hell, they'd probably pay not to have to upgrade.

This... is exactly what is happening :-). Utilities and network operators are trying out ways to give incentives to customers who can respond with negative load (i.e. turning the power down). It makes economic sense because the alternative is increasing production at immense speeds, which is quite costly and inefficient (often using diesel generators, and a lot of them). Aluminium smelters like the examples you give (and quite a few other businesses) are doing precisely this.

Also note that an aluminium smelter works by electrolysis, not by pyrolysis (which is what GP seems to suggest?), which is why they use so much electricity and why they can in fact turn it on and off at a whim.

> 6. First world demand for renewables will continue to drive down costs, allowing third world countries to piggyback off the cost savings. Remember how Africa leapfrogged with cell phones instead of land lines? Imagine battery packs and solar roofs in every home instead of traditional utilities. It's already feasible with current economics.

Wired internet kicks wireless' ass everytime. So having land infrastructure is critical. That leapfrogging could bite them in the ass, if they have to gig now to lay down cables.

Crazily awesome talk – “I see what you mean”
> But maybe heroin wasn't common in Germany and therefore oxycodone was pre- in Germany?

Heroin was first marketed by Bayer, a German pharmaceutical company in 1898. That's where the name 'heroin' comes from so oxycodone was definitely not pre- in Germany.

Now, in nazi Germany, opium and products derived from it might have been harder to come by because of import sanctions (that's why methadone, a fully synthetic opioid, was developed in Germany in 1937). But that would apply to oxycodone just as much as heroin.

I simply pointed out that by using prices that include taxes and incentives, this report artificially exaggerated the costs of coal and understated the true costs of solar/wind. They aren't really even close to being competitive in real terms, but this report falsely implies that they are.

How do you define "real" terms? Sure it's not the price that would emerge if those taxes/incentives didn't exist, but market prices are always adjusted to the current particularities, it's never an absolute value. For example, if it was technically and legally possible to identify all the health and property damages caused by coal pollution and force the coal producers to compensate affected people, the market price of coal would have to be higher than what you call "real" cost, but would that be any less real?

It would be awesome to see a separate grayscale (or at least same-color-gradient) image at every wavelength they’ve recorded, with color scaling based on radiant flux and consistent across images. (Could be log-scaled or whatever if some of the images would otherwise be too dim.)

Even better would be to show a large chart of all those images at once, so they could be compared on a large display without needing to scrub a slider back and forth.

With these false color images, it’s impossible to know without careful investigation what the colors in each image represent or how they’re mixed together, and it’s impossible to make useful comparisons.
Although we might be clear on what we perceive to be the right ruling, it is not always so simple. For example, what if we claimed in software that any software program, given that it is merely a series of bits, is therefore merely a number, and thus a "product of mathematics" not produced by man?

I think you are conflating several issues here.

Firstly there is a difference between natural product and traditional cures / medicine. See the below link for the recent Nobel prize, or just imagine the difference between chemical isolation of aspirin and understanding it's pathways and "chew some bark of that tree"

I think it is fair and valid for scientific inquiry to be considered seperate and more than traditional correlation.

However i also think that patents on scientific outcomes are a bad thing and in general should be avoided.

So, yes patent is bad. No don't give "traditional cures" any special protection, and don't give "natural products" any distinction from other areas of scientific inquiry.

Do have ethical committees however :-)

>$83 is close enough to $75 that tweaks to tax policy can now be used to make renewable energy investment over fossil fuel virtually a no brainer decision

The tweaks to tax policy you're referring to have already happened, and they still haven't made wind and solar competitive. Taxes and incentives being included are the only reason that the numbers quoted in this extremely misleading report are even remotely close to each other (although an 11% difference in a multi-trillion dollar industry is hardly insignificant).

Elon Musk says Apple is the 'graveyard' for fired Tesla staff
Patents worked great for what they were intended for, which was for the English crown to raise funds outside of parliaments control, and later in the US when they used it to encourage the immigration of skilled workers.

The English crown had the big problem that its treasury was dictated by parliament during the 16th century, so it sold royal decrees (writ patents) granting exclusive rights. Parliament passed after an outburst of patenting by the monarch the then new Statute of Monopolies, which said that only Parliament might grant monopolies in statutory form and that only for new inventions.

The British North American settlers later recognized that their society benefited by disclosure and that disclosure supplemented the very weak technical literature of the world in which they lived. They had plentiful of free natural resources but a very small skilled workforce, so they wanted to encourage the immigration of skilled people on a deal which required the disclosure of their inventions in a publicly consult-able reference form.
That's too low of a standard imo: just knowing something is possible and what that specific thing is, confers a lot of useful information.
They can drop to zero, they are still not going to replace regular power plants because you can't guarantee baseline power with them. You could drop all power generated with them into pumping water to huge reservoirs, so they can generate baseline power around the clock, but it's not feasible in a lot of places, and you are losing a lot of energy just to move the water up and down.

All of those problems are design issues (in the sense of overall application/site design). They can "easily" be solved by not designing the site to work that way. Sites only work that way because site developers (the whole team) choose to do it and then implement a solution to achieve it.

The specs for the various languages and the guidelines on their "best use" already define NOT doing any of those things either by dint of it not being built-in behavior or by already actively recommending against it. There's no need to follow a 2nd, proprietary specification to do what is already the standard.

Does that mean that National Institutes of Health can also shut down its research, saving some $30 billion in taxes to go elsewhere? Here we have tax money that funds universities and researchers, and apparently 20 years patents are required to find uses from all that work.

It will be interesting to see what happens to language as these technologies get better. Would you rather type out your ideal word, or tap the suggestion that is close enough?

Insurance isn't a scam, but market forces have caused what you describe.

If the insurer offers an "even" price to all people regardless of history, then it will lose business to a company that offers "No claims discounts". Therefore all of it's customers would he high risk driving prices up even further.

Essentially unless you are willing to outlaw all risk assessment and premium scaling you cannot prevent exactly what you describe. Note that the EU did this with regards to gender discrimination on car insurance premiums (insurers have simply found proxy variables which correlate highly to gender).

Ask HN: Saas pipeline and mailmerge provider recommendation
I was hoping you could help me with this.

We currently use Pipelinedeals to keep track of sales, Whilst their pipeline is very easy to use their document merging capabilities are very limited. E.g. my custom fields are not available for a merge.

For the past months I have been searching for an alternative and tried lots of providers but to no avail and almost ready to throw in the towel on this one.

Could anybody point me to a saas provider that has great e-mail merging capabilities compared to i.e. word/excel merge and an excellent sales pipeline? A big bonus would be if the platform supports logical statements like if-then in the merge options.

Any pointer is highly appreciated.

When I was a child, me and my nephews (which are about my own age) used to go to the pharmacy to buy thermometers, and break them for their mercury. With time we accumulated enough to fill up a mid-sized crystal jar, I would say around 200 grams.

We played with that mercury a lot. We passed it between our hands, which later held treats we ate. We laid down on the grown, and pour it in our closed eyes, letting it drop on the side of our faces. The only thing we came short of doing was putting mercury in our mouth. No harm ever came to us as a result.

I would have cleaned the spill for free, if I get to keep the mercury. ;-)

The future might be in an FPGA fabric tightly coupled with generic RISC cores (things like Zynq SoCs, but with a tighter integration, allowing a direct access from FPGA to the CPU internal registers, pipelines, etc.). Bigger macro cells (like entire ALUs, generic caches, etc.) might be useful too.

This way hot spots can be optimised (even in a JIT engine in runtime) into hardware circuits.

I played a bit with some crazy ideas like mixing HDLs with a low level C code (see the Mandelbrot example here: https://github.com/combinatorylogic/soc/tree/master/backends... ) - this sort of things can become practical with a tighter integration between a CPU core and FPGA fabric (in my case it was a soft core, of course).

Speaking as someone who has paid for enterprise quay.io (CoreOS enterprise registry), and seen the source code and docker image.... Run far away. Not even the most basic security or availability precautions were taken.

A casual security evaluation revealed that all of the 20+ processes in the quay.io registry container run as real root. Worse, the system has no authentication for image uploading allowing -anyone- clobber any existing image. Auth only exists for reading images which is entirely backwards. Requests for to patch these and other holes myself were denied.

Don't even get me started on general instability or that on a failed build it would hang and never accept new ones without a manual container restart.

Had to pull the plug on the whole thing and replace it with a few git hooks and a vanilla docker registry... Which has been simple and rock solid.

This is what Jon Blow said about C++ on Twitter:

"If you want to never get any work done, use a programming language like this:
https://isocpp.org/blog/2012/11/universal-references-in-c11-...
"

I used to enjoy programming in C++, even though I always thought it was too complex.
Too many things to learn and too many approaches.
For example, I never could grasp template-meta-programming thing.
May be I didn't dedicated enough time, but that's the point.
If it takes so much time to learn the language and its complexities, you have much less time to program "things" with it.

Exactly correct. It was my Condo, and if it was an exterior wall, then the Home Owners Association would be charged a "Special Fee" (We had recently dropped $100+K on repairing wall damage from a rain leak) - but ceiling damage would have been on me. To make matters worse, they were renters living in the upstairs unit, and when I contacted the owner, it turned out he was a lawyer, and initially all he said was, "If you have a problem, sue me."

Thankfully, the manager of our property management board was much more sane, had seen the space above bathroom vents, knew that it always looked funky (lots of moisture going up through those vents), and saved me $30K.

I guess my point was - given a choice, a subcontractor can always turn a minor clean up into a $50K project, but it's entirely possible, there is a $5K choice as well that the home owner might want to consider pursuing.
