There are nine million households in Australia.[1] 1.4 million (one in six) have rooftop PV solar installed - "the highest proportion of any country."[2] Tesla is debuting its household battery storage in Australia because of the opportunity it presents. I expect within ten years, more than half of solar powered houses will have some form of storage installed.

My basic justification for my interpretation: either entanglement of two photons makes all of spacetime branch out into two instantaneously (however that's represented in the configuration space - Pluto wouldn't wait for the event to enter its light cone to now diverge into two "branches");

Or every point in the universe is essentially an independent configuration space, linked in a kind of matrix, in which the fact that the photon we sent to Pluto had spin X on measurement propagates outwards back to us and upon reaching us causes our configuration space to react accordingly in two different branches. After all the knowledge couldn't be available to you before it came back. Functionally equivalent to my bubble description above, only the terminology differs.
Or is the configuration space infinite to the degree that all possible future outcomes is accounted for and represented in every point at once already, practically making it into a growing complex infinite web of interactions when following the time line forwards?
Interesting. Does --dest-ip[1] solve this?

As a European, this article intrigues me. In most European industries, overwork isn't at all celebrated as much as in the US (from what I can tell reading HN).

But this article's reasoning makes sense. So do we have different social shields in place? If I work 8-ish hours a day and screw up, what's my excuse? I can't completely figure this one out.

As you say, many cyclists fail to stop at signed intersections. Clearly the knowledge that "I have to stop" isn't having its desired effect. So who exactly are you worried about not complying with a relaxed standard?

Surely not the cautious people who stop at the Muni tracks on Church and Duboce while a torrent of riders streams past them across the middle of the intersection. The cautious ones already have enough common sense to observe the laws of physics.

Surely not the people whose goal is never to dab (put a foot down) between SoMa and Outer Richmond. They don't care much for stop signs -- or red lights, or lanes, or the product of mass times velocity.

So is there really a constituency of borderline nut jobs who currently observe stop signs but would suddenly turn into reckless maniacs on two wheels if yielding were "legalized"? I'm probably in this camp and I can tell you that I already roll through the Wiggle when the coast is clear...and assuming a car hasn't already waved me through. Sorry but it's hard to believe that allowing bikes to yield would turn me into a social menace.

Hi strawman[1], nice to see you again. I specifically stated that Fielding, Berners-Lee, and Frystyk were responsible for defining HTTP. A fact well documented by the aforementioned RFC-1945 reference. Since your reply was submitted by some form of HTTP client (a.k.a. "web browser"), by definition it used said protocol or the derivative "HTTPS" protocol to do so.

This is further supported by you acknowledging the same:

... the thing that makes the web platform
powerful is modern web browsers ...

You see, these "modern web browsers" support a thing called "HTTP." And this "HTTP" thingie was defined by a handful of people (this sounds familiar).

Regarding web client performance verses native apps, you state:

Which Despite its primary focus and
decade-long head-start it's still getting
eaten by Native Mobile Apps ...

This largely can be explained by bloated JavaScript-based SPA's[2] downloading megabytes of interpreted code. Want faster performing interaction? Don't stuff dozens of script references into a page which mandates the system to download them before being useful.

How could this be done? One is called Code-on-Demand[3]. But for this to be viable, the system must recognize the server as being a first-class concern which collaborates with its clients instead of being a glorified data base connection pool. But if a person is myopically focused on what executes solely in the browser, this might elude them.

Tips for dealing with developer stress
Thanks! Is it hard to flash it? Which one do you use?
Now that sounds quite weak argument: Where exactly goes the line? A quite small minority of DDR or Soviet (speaking of post-Stalin timeframe) 'citizens' actually were jailed or killed. I'd bet that also a very small percent of Chinese population is killed outside the judicial system today, or even within the judicial system's framework of courts and executions, even if they give death sentences very liberally.

It's a question of principle. Either the government and its agencies are held accountable, or they are not. Arbitrary and extra-judicial use of power is still arbitrary and extra-judicial use of power, even if the wielder of that power chooses to use it discreetly. The government is not restricted by the constitution if they can just choose what parts of it they pay lipservice to as they please, even if they do that only seldom and to people who don't matter or "don't deserve our sympathy".

I used to work for NERSC when they ran Seaborg. Before that, i ran my PhD simulations on the T3E Mjolnir (PSC) and the other one, at SDSC whose name I forget. Back in those days, those were supercomputers, but a single cloud machine replaces one of those now.

The only thing I consider a supercomputer is a device designed for capability computing where the capability is ability to run codes that exhibit strong scaling due to their interconnect. The petaflops you quote are calculated by the strong scaling of LINPACK due to its design. I think you need a large amount of petaflops these days to really be considered a supercomputer. And those petaflops come from having a combination of low latency and high bandwidth-- you couldn't just point at Exacycle and say "that's a supercomputer".

The 3PB filesystem and 50Gb/s IO (you didn't say if that was per-node, or the bisection bandwidth of the central switch, or what) aren't particularly "super".

In some sense this is just arguing about the definition of a supercomputer which isn't super interesting; I have a preconceived notion of what one is. If Amazon put a bunch of machines on an MPI switch (IIRC they actually have) and scored well in Top500, and you could buy time on it, and it scaled your code, they'd have one too.

Original paper: https://groups.csail.mit.edu/EVO-DesignOpt/groupWebSite/uplo...

Basically how the "Data Science Machine" works:
1) "Feature synthesis": features related to the target are discovered by following foreign keyed relationships in a relational database, automatically generating "deep" queries involving many joins. Aggregates like MIN, MAX, AVG, and STD are automatically calculated to be used as additional features.
2) "Dimensionality Reduction": Truncated SVD reduces feature length
3) "Modeling": Remaining features are clustered and then modeled by Random Forest decision trees with learned hyper parameters.

There's a ton more optimizations, but that's the gist.

The machine can't be evaluated as a stand-alone product, though, because the researchers also mention manually generating features on the problems they tested, without reporting the effect of their own tampering.

They do conclude the system is more of a time-saving device than the general pattern-recognition one that our journalists seem to think it is.

Once your CSPRNG has enough entropy in its internal state it has got this entropy.

This is half of a great idea.

After working for Steve Jobs I came to realize that almost all our innovative technology was developed at various Universities, and we just hired the guys (for peanuts) to continue developing it for integration with the final product. So Steve really was the ultimate Robber Baron.

At the same time, that research would probably have never been productized if Steve hadn't been there to fund the continued development of the research, and if Steve hadn't assembled the team required to be a successful company.

So just stopping the theft of our publicly funded research solves only half the problem - and would simply create more "dead-end" research which is never productized.

> whitewashing the main character (who was hispanic in real life).

Tony Mendez is (not "was" -- he's a living person, and Argo was not only based on his life, but on his own writing about it, and he was a consultant on the project and actively participated in its promotion as well as its production) but also a white American (he and at least his parents, on both sides, were born in the US) of Mexican descent on his fathers side and mixed European descent, not via any Hispanic culture, on his mother's side.

To say that having him -- not a character based on him but rewritten to be a different ethnicity, but a character which is explicitly the same Tony Mendez -- played by a white who didn't have exactly the same ancestry is "whitewashing" is reducing "whitewashing" to meaninglessness.

So many things are next generation in JS that I can't tell what next generation means for JS anymore. For this package, does it mean I can't use today?

I say that because typical packages do not declare jsnext:main yet, so you need to pass them as a list of external packages to rollup. It seems rollup won't produce an actual bundle when externals are used, is there any documentation about this?

Taking react 0.14 as an example, rollup doesn't accept JSX so it doesn't work there either. Instead, you have to use a package that combines it with babel: rollup-babel (so now we are using a next generation next generation package). But running

rollupbabel --external=react,react-dom --format=cjs --output=bundle.js -- index.jsx

does not result in a bundle.js that bundles React. Is this too old for rollup?

Lessons from a Decade of IT Failures
(Now that I'm off my phone...) my wording could have been better, but it is meant to be an anxiety provoking and harsh, similar to past methods, and there are some speculations on the drug. An overdose of anesthetic, sodium thiopental included. Many kinder methods would produce feelings of euphoria, and these methods are explicitly avoided. The second drug, the muscle relaxant, has been speculated to be more for the audience than the prisoner, and potassium chloride would be exceptionally painful if felt. The dosage of sodium thiopental has come under fire as being much too low, long before medication swaps and more blatant screw ups (https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn7269-execution-by-inj...). I've read speculation that the anesthetics are really not a perfect block from the pain the body experiences, even if dosage is correct.

Perhaps the method wasn't meant to cause pain, but the method makes few attempts to avoid it, particularly when considering similar alternatives. That it shouldn't cause the condemned to feel like their body is on fire for several minutes seems like a far cry from "must not cause pain."

I think a lot of people understand that a car is a very complex piece of technology, with more failure points than they can enumerate. They don't mind minor issues, as long as it's fixed timely and without much energy spend from the owner.

minor issues are issues that does not render the car unusable.

Anecdotal evidence, on my work we have a variety of laptops. A Lenovo was having issues with the trackpad. I created a ticket, and the next day a technician was onsite and fixed it. We also had an Asus that was having issues with the screen, so we created a ticket and we had to ship it away for 5 weeks before it was back. We're only buying laptops with onsite support now, even when they cost a premium, because the alternative is buying a new laptop if one of them has any issues that needs to be fixed.

Everything isn't to be treated as a debate in good faith. It is very, very rare for a person to be making inflammatory comments in an earnest attempt to start a debate in good faith. I agree, if the platform is a debate-like context, it would be bad form to do that.

But if you walk into a bar or post on Twitter talking about how much you dislike ___, don't be surprised if someone has a reaction. I certainly won't be inclined to start a Socratic dialogue exploring why you dislike ___ in an attempt to persuade you.

You wouldn't spout a racist manifesto on a talk show, don't expect to be able to do it on a medium that everyone can see and think nothing will come of it. You need to be acutely aware of your audience and reach when you speak.

In this context, do not be surprised if people cannot separate their judgment of the comment from the person making it. Especially when the context is "I just read this awful comment on my screen by a person I don't know and already dislike."
Problem of course is that everything is kind of a mono culture at first. Tent.io at least had multiple projects working on implementations, but never seemed extremely active to me.
