A little more concretely, because his personality is in many ways the opposite of the Machiavelli [1].

The fact that a 10% increase in electricity costs is probably going disproportionately affect the poor?
That one part was a weak part. If he claimed that having less features helps writeability I would have completely agreed though. It might take more writing to accomplish what you want, but frequently the choices you are making are a lot simpler, so you spend less time on them and more time just writing the code that you need to write.
Bad analogy; competent people put lots of time and effort into designing IKEA furniture.
You could do a credit back from the proceeds.
Experiment? This isn't science. They can ask any engineer what MITM with a non-trusted cert would do, and that's nothing.
"Celolot currently has bad leadership, but with the right leadership, I believe it could eventually take over the CRM industry." - that is complete fucking bullshit. This guy is clearly delusional because he's in denial. He tells a (incredibly long, to the point that I suspect it's partly fictional) story of a terribly run company trying to do something difficult with no skill whatsoever, and thinks it's going to "take over the CRM industry"? Bull. Fucking. Shit.

EDIT: looking at the website as a whole, I'm fairly confident the entire thing was written as fiction in the first place, but it's still bullshit that anyone would think it's a believable story of reasonable behavior on the author's part, true or false.
Consumers want their kitten videos. They would only view the dialog as an error message, something to get rid of.
Yes they share the same continental plate. But:

"There is a significant variance for GDP (PPP) per capita within individual EU states, these range from €11,300 to €69,800 (about US$15,700 to US$97,000). The difference between the richest and poorest regions ranged, in 2009, from 27% of the EU27 average in the region of Severozapaden in Bulgaria, to 332% of the average in Inner London in the United Kingdom. On the high end, Inner London has €78,000 PPP per capita, Luxembourg €62,500, and Bruxelles-Cap €52,500, while the poorest regions, are Severozapaden with €6,400 PPP per capita, Nord-Est with €6,900 PPP per capita, Severen tsentralen with €6,900 and Yuzhen tsentralen with €7,200."

It only needs to release less than an equivalent ICE vehicle. Comparing it to "zero" is unfair.
This is simply a consequence of how prices communicate information through the market, and is the whole point. End-consumers should pay more for things that have a (direct or indirect) carbon footprint. Otherwise why would they change their behavior?
One thing: please add the tested card size to the table, as in some cases there are speed differences between card sizes in the same family.
A Falcon 9 rocket launch costs $61,200,000. Propellant costs $200,000.
This sounds better than whiteboarding, but I think you're right. There's a big Heisenberg effect going on that's going to cause a lot of false positives
This aspect of it is fairly easy to observe from inside the game; the Health screen goes on for three pages of possible symptoms, diagnoses, treatments, etc. This is just an overview, arranged like a spreadsheet with a row for each dwarf (and their pets and livestock) and a column for each symptom and so on.

It also tracks nerves and blood flow in a generalized way; any strike which penetrates or cuts the tissue layers has a chance of damaging the nerves in that body part. Nerve damage may or may not heal with the rest of the wound, and that will cause chronic infirmity or paralysis. Blood loss can cause dizziness or loss of consciousness, etc.

The combat logs are quite thorough, and after your first combat (which includes hunting and sparring) you'll quickly see how each actor is choosing from a "menu" of possibilities that varies from moment to moment. If one combatant loses a hand, they won't be able to strike with it, and nobody else will be able to target it with an attack.

If you then play the Adventurer mode, which is part of the same game but played as an individual character's perspective, you can see those menus reified as actual menus for you to choose from. Some of them are generic: you can swing your sword with or without targeting a specific body part. Others are much more specific. If your weapon gets stuck inside your opponent, you have the option of twisting it to cause pain (and probably more nerve damage).

In one game I played I fought a megabeast which had some kind of contaminated blood. My dwarves won the fight, but tracked the blood all over my fortress. I had them cleaning it up, but couldn't keep on top of it; eventually it was everywhere. A while later I noticed that a significant fraction of my dwarves and animals had rotting wounds on their feet...

The development log (http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/index.html) and the game data files (which are all just text) also supply a lot of information, but they're not required reading; all of these details are pretty visible in the game. This is one of the things that makes the game so rewarding. Even when you lose a fort you can figure out what happened, and you can figure out how to avoid it or solve it next time.
The fact that you think that's why people wait speaks to your naive view of how academia works.

The only reason they are waiting and not releasing on a preprint like arxiv is because the journal wants to force all citations through them and will reject the paper if they see an early release. It's disgusting.
This should have been the sign to get the hell out: "in what startup of five people does the tech team work for five months without ever talking to the CEO?" There's a movie to be gotten out of this 'Milburn' feller.

Sorry, this was all in the sales pitch, not the science. They refolded an egg protein called lysozyme, which has been refolded countless times before without anyone talking about unboiling eggs.
After accounting for emissions during manufacturing, even if you powered an electric car with coal power only, carbon emissions of an electric car are roughly a 25-30 MPG car equivalent.

However, those numbers get much better as the electric power generation mix improves (at both the car factory and your garage). In California, now, an electric car is about equivalent to a 70 MPG car.

Note that significant efforts are underway to reduce the carbon-intensiveness of our electricity generation, so these numbers will get better over time.

It's absolutely covered by "revenue neutral".

We tax things, but then distribute the tax revenue among the citizenry. The cost absolutely will get passed on, but that is accounted for in the end when you receive a check for ~1/300,000,000th of the net tax paid. The increased cost of essentials would be a total wash, as presumably everyone is paying roughly the same -- except to the extent that by pricing the externality, there might be space to undercut the market with a non-polluting option where one didn't exist before, encouraging R&D.
Well, forcing gas to be cheaper had some unintended side effects in Venezuela:

http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB100014241278873240007045783867...

Anyway, I don't see how such a tax would single out the poor more than others.

The negative externalities of burning gas to move cars (not to mention weed whackers and lawnmowers etc., which are somehow exempt from emissions controls and pollute horribly) need to be accounted for somehow. See: The tragedy of the commons.
It's hard to imagine any process that doesn't have some interaction with carbon-based fuel. So while he is willing to pay the cost along with everyone else, the conflict of interest is still there -- his company will benefit _at the margin_ with a much higher carbon tax, so there's an extent to which he might be talking his book.

That all being said, as a matter of simple fact I think he's correct with only relatively straight-forward caveats (like, "within the lifespan of currently alive humans"). So the issue isn't him talking his book per se as it is him attempting to set the public agenda in a way favorable to him. This isn't something I typically worry about, although given how totally non-surprising the headline is to anyone who has paid attention to energy policy in the last couple decades, it might be worth bringing up.
Ha! Such a cynical viewpoint, I like it.
I used to think that carbon taxes were the way to go, but I have seen how effective the fossil fuel industry is at creating FUD. When you consider an effective carbon tax makes all their assets worthless it is not surprising that they will do whatever it takes to block anything other than a nominal carbon tax.

There really is only one way to get past the fossil fuel industry and that is to buy them out. Given the benefit from stopping global warming is spread over the whole community it is actually fairer if we did this rather than push a disproportionally share onto the owners of fossil fuel. Lets get serious and just pay off Exxon and their buddies.
An excellent example. This is also one of those things that is hard to profile away, because it essentially leads to a very flat profile because you're probably forgetting to use with_capacity()/reserve() all over the place not just in single very-costly cases[1]. So you end up wasting, say, 1% CPU time all over the place... add up enough of these time-wasters and soon you're going to be wasting significant amounts of CPU time for no good reason.

Obviously, this kind of thing isn't a magic bullet, but in general I'd say the key for any kind of program is to express your intent at the highest level possible. This benefits both optimization and human readers! (That obviously means that the programming language must support such abstraction in a non-leaky way.)

I don't really know anybody who uses "Chrome apps", technical or non-technical. I agree that was an odd choice, and will probably exclude a lot of people.

It's also odd to me that privacy advocates would push people to Google's ecosystem.

I hope one day there will be Windows and Mac apps. And that instead of phone numbers, we can use email addresses.
To be fair, if you're in a situation where you want someone 'thinking outside the box', hiring top experts from that field isn't necessarily the right thing.

If a person sees all of these horse drawn carriages around and wants to figure out a way to get rid of the horse, he/she doesn't turn to people that are experts at attaching horses to carriages.
Yeah you're right. It should say something like the payoff of debt owned by the creditor looks like being short a put.
> "Language-specific"? It clearly targets two languages: C and C++.

So it's specific to C and C++ (and, apparently, also Go). How is that not Language-specific?

I don't live in Hawai'i, and I've never been. But given their history, I think I can forgive them a little bit of dislike of Americans.
That's what I mean. That article, for example, would have been a much more meaningful submission. Musk's vested interests make it harder to take his statements at face value (even if they are entirely correct).
I used speakers near my bed, since I can't stand wearing earbuds while sleeping. Usually I just set the volume to the quietest it could be while still drowning out other random noises. Surprisingly, there were times when it had to be set pretty loud to drown out conversation, and it still worked well.

Well, if you really want to drill down on this example: the barber doesn't have substantial interests in which type of haircut you get. Tesla has substantial interest in which kind of carbon tax you get -- high carbon tax would be a boon. Doesn't materially effect how good an idea carbon taxes are, though.

Also, do people ask their barber what haircut they should get? I have only ever done a buzz cut or given a description / picture.
They do a pretty good job, yes. I've been building something on Parse, and the biggest issue I've run into is that they don't allow for npm modules. Smaller modules can be ported to parse cloud code, but if you have an interesting module with native code or just many dependencies, this becomes unworkable.

Firebase doesn't have a Cloud Code like offering at the moment, which can be very limiting depending on what you're building.
@andreyf: More like a social experiment. See whether people would notice (we did) and what's their reaction.
Some history might help. Go was created largely as a reaction to writing server side C++. I have sympathy after writing but mostly reading C++ code bases. I swore never again.

I react in horror to the features being added to CUDA and SyCL to make them closer to C++.

I still hate C++ with a passion, grepping around in gecko is much harder than servo.
uh ... their "Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn" links at the bottom of the page literally just go to facebook.com and the like, rather than a page for their company.

Also, their signup form gives a straight MySQL "Access denied for user 'rollio'@'localhost' (using password: YES)". I've seen completely fake startups with more functional websites than this (like http://www.shutdownify.com/ )
Yep I deleted it the moment I saw that I couldn't sign up another way.

I honestly have no idea what this even means.
Nothing different to tinder really..
Looks like a good idea!!!
"If he claimed that having less features helps writeability I would have completely agreed though."

I suspect most people disagree with you and think, for example, that the features in high level languages make it easier to program in those languages than in low level ones.
wolfram's use of detour seemed like a dismissal of the utility of relativity, i read it as 'a waste of time'.. taking an indirect route when a direct route would have been preferred.. was something else meant by the word? people mock an earth centered universe today but was the idea a waste of time?

what's the alternative to detours? waiting, still, until one is shown the direct route? how will it reveal itself? what defines direct? are there direct and detour routes between wolfram's network nodes?

bones had a hard time appreciating the efforts of his predecessors(o), but does the potential of a future technology rendering a current technology obsolete, barbaric even, mean we should avoid it's utility because it's merely a 'detour'

i think the probabilistic nature of quantum bodies is an incorrect model but i wholly endorse its use in those scenarios in which results are found where they were previously elusive

i think monte carlo descision tree traversal is a misguided method but i wholly endorse its use in those scenarios in which results are found where they were previously elusive

utilise and iterate on best fit 'detours' while still seeking direct routes

my response to wolfram was asking: why call something a detour when everything is a detour, even his unfinished attempt at finalising all detours

i want to make it clear that i encourage wolfram to continue his work on his theory, but careful judging lest ye be judged

hey einstein, “Don’t waste your time working on that!” and, “Please don’t work on that.” it's merely a detour

I think it's more about him being CEO of Tesla than his jet-setting

note: I'm strongly in favor of a carbon tax, but Elon Musk is a bit of a head-scratcher
The impact to SpaceX probably wouldn't be that big.

The amount of fuel required to get to the space station is within an order of magnitude of that required to cross the Atlantic in an aeroplane.

The Falcon 9 uses about 112000 litres of fuel [1] which costs about $200000.

A 10 hour flight on a trans-atlantic jet might burn 150000 litres [2].

Even if the launch cadence increases to much more than what they have been planning (they were on track to launch about one a month this year until the CRS-7 incident), the cost to offset the carbon used in launches is almost insignificant.

There will be other aspects of the business that release carbon as well, of course, but those would be impacted in a similar fashion across the other businesses (manufacturing and logistical costs etc).

I've been playing AOE since the original and still play it often, I've recently found Total War to be a sufficient RTS/Turn based game for me, a nice mix between Civilization and AOE.

That being said you should look again at AOE3, there is still a small online community that I hope will continue for quite awhile.
I think the politest description I can provide of the experience of tracking down GC bugs is that they interacted with other features in complicated and error prone ways.
The most important measure is how well he weaves his core principles stated here into how Facebook makes its money (the way Jobs did with Apple).

More specifically, I worry that Internet.org is an advertiser-funded competitor to the user-funded internet as we know it, and that the interests of advertisers are in many ways contrary to the interests of individuals (e.g. w.r.t. privacy).

Information pipes are a really important building block to a thriving political and economic ecosystem, and for those blocks to be sturdy, it's important that these pipes have built-in privacy protections which remove a lot of value advertisers derive from them.
There Are Only Two Issues
> The power of the "influencers" depends on the education level of the general population, does it not?

No. It does not.
There is no way to isolate the effect of immigration on GDP from the effect of other policies of the EU, or the effect of the global economy, technological advancements, economic policy changes etc...

There are just too many variables.
I think the question here, which has been raised in other parts of the comments here, is what the complexity of the operation to serialize/deserialize is and how one might think about translating between computational complexity and dimensionality.

They will be telling citizens to install a "national security certificate". After they implement this, you won't be able to access the internet without it.
> Direct democracy with an effective news media is more resistant to corruption than the representative democracy with corporate media that we have now. If you disagree with that statement, let me know.

This is only true if you make a series of very large assumptions about the people involved. Such as that voters individually choose to consume an inclusive variety of media, instead of filtering to just the media that caters to their tribe.

This is the sort of assumption that seems easy if you are utopian and don't really understand tribalism in nearly-hairless primates. Suffice to say it's not nearly as simple as you think and far from the guarantee you clearly believe.

> So your argument is that implicit power structures are just as problematic as explicit power structures as you can still have a small number of actors who seek to game the system to their own advantage?

Implicit power structures are worse. This is because they lack accountability mechanisms and centralize power, making corruption easy while also making it difficult to get rid of. This is in no way an improvement.

Frankly, it's becoming painfully clear to me that you simply don't understand power.

> I find that insulting, quite frankly.

Bully for you.

> As I've said before, none of those societies you're referring to were communist societies, nor did they start out as communist societies and devolve into something else. They were never communist to begin with, and did not make efforts to become more communist as time went on.

I imagine you think it's just a coincidence that without exception, every single historical case wherein sincere attempts at Communism were made the result was a dictatorial bloodbath. You think the examples aren't relevant.

After all, they were not true Scotsman.

I'm afraid I'm done with this conversation. If I believed in God, I'd be praying very hard that you never find yourself near levers of power. You have no conception of how much your naivety terrifies me.
Doesn't cynicism have value? It doesn't have to lead to inaction. It seems like an important ingredient of not being fooled.
Would this mean my company would charge me for using the break room microwave?
That's true, and having people with very strong academic bias (e.g. those who spent their short careers obtaining PhD but don't have any industry experience) can be just as bad.

You generally want those PhDs as researchers or advisers to your company, not as founders/management. Obviously, exceptions always exist.

Ask HN: Will you use (pay) a Dockerized hosting service?
Imagine a "Dockerized DigitalOcean", where you launch instances with Docker images, not VM images. The differences are:

- super fast to deploy, less than a second

- native docker workflow (build/push/pull, etc.)

- immutable instance

- minimal instance size, e.g. 32MB RAM

- cheaper, $1/mon for 128MB instance

Would this kind of service be interesting? for personal VPS? Dev/Test bed? Or Web hosting?
It is theoretically possible to develop technology that makes electric cars greatly more co2 efficient over the lifetime than internal combustion engines ever could be. That puts Tesla at an advantage in the long run.
It's not even difficult to enforce. If you don't install their cert, you don't have access to the internet. Or you just have to force Chrome to ignore all SSL errors, which is the same thing.
Not really, the fact that it's not published is that they're afraid someone else will read it do the research again, submit it somewhere else, and get it published faster, at which point reviewers for $Journal_With_Actual_Impact_Factor will simply state "doesn't this replicate the recent findings? Rejected"

Which is why rosalind sat on her crystallographies, hoping to figure it out herself.

That sounds like a terrible school and such a waste. I had Shakespeare, Dickens, C. Bronte, Kipling, Graham Greene, Keats, Shelley, Wordsworth, all as required reading plus loads of stuff we were encouraged to read plus extra-curricular drama put on for the public such as Pinafore, Pirates of Penzance, Pygmalion.

Just in case anyone is still around from those days that was Park Senior High School, Swindon, Wilts, 1970-1974. The more I hear of other people's schooling the more grateful I am for the schools I went to
