Battery technology has changed a lot over the past couple of decades. A good chunk of the cost here is in the controller electronics (you need a hefty inverter to allow the battery to power your AC household circuits) and that has, of course, changed enormously.

All of this changes the costs and the space requirements, and that in turn changes whether or not it's economically viable.

You're making a lot of assumptions here. As a landlord I would just evict you if you tried to do this with my property. My lease and most other leases say no subleases for this reason. On what planet would I manage my own property for a renter and hand over all the revenue to them?

The only evil elements that I'm fully aware of is killing and developing a nuke. It seems way underdeveloped and not much of the game.

My first play through I played stealth and captured quite a few people for my base. If I didn't want the person then I just left them be, I only killed when I had to for survival or if required. For instance, I know of no way to capture a helicopter, so for those elimination missions you had no choice but to kill the pilots. My second play-through my style is to leave no one alive whenever I enter a mission, otherwise I avoid contact. I'm not even halfway through the story and the debris in my head signifying my demon level has lengthened quite a bit. Otherwise, I haven't noticed that much of a difference between the two sessions. Advanced equipment for the enemy has appeared sooner than before, but it's still way too easy. I wish there was a way to increase the difficulty from the beginning.

You may want to check the research on this. The book escapes me, but I remember there being mounting research that says in general, long term stressors make you weaker, not stronger.

_What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Weaker_

"Developmental research has shown convincingly that traumatized children are more, not less, likely to be traumatized again. Kids who grow up in a tough neighborhood become weaker, not stronger. They are more, not less likely to struggle in the world."

What I find sad is that we allow dirty, polluting energy sources to remain artificially cheap by not requiring them to pay the costs of their pollution.

If the cost of coal-fired electricity included all the costs from the pollution it emits, alternative energy would look a lot more attractive, and rational economic actors would start switching over a lot faster.
Note the emphasis on accidental memory safety violations.

There's an enormous difference between attackers running JavaScript that they control and attackers having to exploit memory safety issues in JavaScript that you wrote. Virtually all attacks against JavaScript JITs have been of the former type, in that they rely on perfectly crafted hostile JavaScript that nobody would write on purpose. But in a node.js type of server side scenario, attackers do not have the ability to run arbitrary JavaScript. They only have the ability to interact with the JavaScript that was already written to be non-malicious. So it's much, much harder for an attacker to exploit memory safety problems in the JS engine in a server side scenario—so much harder, in fact, that I wouldn't be surprised if it's never been done.

If your argument is that JS JITs are hard to write, well, sure. But I think that's totally irrelevant to this conversation. Clang and LLVM are also hard to write and are just as trusted in this scenario.

He can't solve this problem without using a base class, so he wants to go back to Objective-C where he will use a base class? Objective-C does not have a better solution - it has the same solution here. The only difference is that ObjC will let you do what he is trying to do where the actual result is incorrect. That doesn't make Swift inherently better, it means he is wrong. OP is not making a convincing argument, and this isn't a point about Swift vs. ObjC. OP is just complaining because they don't understand what it is they are doing.

Seems like there was a move in the 90's to gigantify everything. Bookstores, electronics stores, gyms, etc. It was awesome because they had so much more selection than anything prior.

Now with the internet, that's no longer the case. There's absolutely no reason to drive out to a strip mall to find the book / electronics you want. Mega-gyms still succeed. Retailers need to find something else.

I wouldn't be surprised if malls start making a comeback in the US. There are lots of times you want to browse through tangible miscellanea, and the internet doesn't give you that. But it'll be different than the 80's, as shops in the mall will have to know better how to cater to a specific local demographic; generic won't cut it anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if they were anchored by fresh markets, the quintessence of "local".

Tesla is making utility-scale stuff. Their "Powerpack" product starts at 100kWh and can be chained together to scale as large as you want, and is intended for industrial and utility use.

The home version is basically a byproduct of that, for people who want a whole-house UPS, or really want to go off-grid, or whose utilities are slow to get with it.

This is my local Waterstones: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.2351971,-0.5749889,3a,15y,... (next to the Nero). You can see the amount of foot traffic that it could conceivably get, and after killing off Ottakars it’s the only book store in town (ignoring WH Smith’s top 20 section). It’s 3 stories tall and contains a Costa coffee shop with no music playing.
Not to mention, if people actually used these in large enough numbers--or utilities building a battery reserve--the off peak power and peak power difference will be smaller. Because you have increased demand for off peak due to charging. And decreased peak usage.
This comment is depressingly cynical. This is probably the single best definition of "hacking", as the community often refers to it, that I've seen in a very long time. One guy starts working on something only the biggest companies in the world dare attempt, throws together a minimal prototype built on top of existing technology. Just look at the picture of it.

Claims of commercial viability or beating Tesla are a bit ridiculous, but this is pretty damn amazing.
That sort of behavior is what is killing retail. If you're going to browse the showroom it is more than a little backhanded to then buy from an online competitor with less overhead.

If I find a product I want to buy in a store I will buy it there. More often than not, though, retailers don't have what I need and I end up forced to buy online anyway.

"Families facing economic strain often deal with stressors that are associated with less responsive and less warm parenting."

"economy strain" -> poverty

"often deal with stressors" -> causes

"less responsive and less warm parenting" -> bad parenting

How come this quote doesn't read as implying causation? There's no further explanation of such correlation other than "parents are worried on how to keep the lights on". And that's a very simplistic and narrow attempt of an explanation. In other words, that's bullshit.

It may just be one of the generics that you like - they have I think four different styles (not exact layouts, but upholstery themes).

Quite a good idea IMO - allows them to better fit the area as you say, also make two nearby shops a bit different, while also keeping all the benefits of a common theme(s): bulk buying, easy and fast replacement, maintaining brand, etc.

Thanks for the clarification. Not a point in favor of the system, though.
People don't have the kind of free will that you suggest.

As Arthur Schopenhauer once said, "man can do what he wants, but he cannot will what he wants." The point being made here is that poverty strikes at the will that is beyond your control, so it is meaningless to say the poor have responsibility for their condition.
> If you look at CppCon 2015 when Herb was presenting the Core Guidelines and the new VSC++ static analyzers, only 1% of the audience said they ever used one.

That's interesting.

It's especially interesting to note that those static analyzers work on unmodified code! The work-in-progress ISO Core C++ lifetime profile does not work on unmodified code and requires a lot of annotations…
Here's the problem I have with this (I probably haven't worked this out well enough in my mind to pursausively argue for it on the internet, but this is what goes through my mind every time I encounter this):

- (all/most/many/some/ at least a few) problems are best solved locally, by treating the people around you as well as you can

- you have the most control first over your own happiness, then over your immediate family's happiness, then over close families happiness ....... etc etc etc

- you have almost no control over someone's happiness on the other side of the planet

-----------

look, I don't want some kid in Côte d'Ivoire to be a child slave, but I'm relatively sure my chocolate consumption is a tiny drop in that bucket (though just typing that out made me want to use less chocolate)

moreover, even if I stop using chocolate, his happiness is still far more dependent on the people local to him than it is to me

--------------------

anecdotally, strikes me that the people I know who love to get on their high horse about normal western consumer patterns, don't put that much thought into being fairly miserable to the people that they actually directly interact with (I'll concede that that's not a fair generalization)

-------------------

TLDR, it strikes me that treating people better that you actually interact with is the best way to make the world a better place

> I think lambda capture initializers with C++14 help in this regard so that unique_ptr can be used.

They're still opt-in—the burden is on the programmer to get it right.

> In addition, the memory safety tooling is improving - see Herb Sutter's CppCon 2015 keynote.

Sure. But it's not here yet, it requires a lot of annotations, and there are several key unanswered questions that I didn't see an answer to (how the static analysis deals with pointers derived from shared_ptr when it relies on all pointer function parameters being unaliased, for example).

> Finally, C++17 should have co-routines which will make this type of callback code less used and allow one to use "normal" logic without callbacks that will also be non-blocking.

And when the coroutines suspend/yield, you have the exact same issues regarding dangling pointers and use-after-free.

Tenants have no direct recourse against bad neighbors - their only recourse is to complain to management and pray they do something about it. As for management, they'll have similar, if not identical, recourse in the form of (a) deposit withholding and (b) negative feedback on AirBNB. The ability to provide negative feedback actually gives them greater power, incidentally, than the power innkeepers typically have over ill-behaving guests.

While you are technically correct, as someone who has published software to the general public for decades now I can assure you that users will do far worse things almost daily and it's always the developers fault if they allow that to break things.
Am I missing something, or if they use AES for decryption it would be trivial to crack, since it's symmetrical? He says:

So decompile that lib, extract the AES vector, and you can decrypt/encrypt all the save files you want. Surely I'm missing something, though :(

Lower bound equaling upper bound was in addition to O(1), not instead of.

In simpler terms, it always runs in exactly k time.

It is a difficult problem. It's also a critically important one when you're doing things like cryptography. Maybe we look at different kinds of algorithms, because while I see a lot of worrying about O(n) vs. O(logn) vs. O(nlogn) vs. O(n^2), most of the time when I see people worry about whether something is constant or not, they mean truly constant, not asymptotically. They are worrying about side channels.

Guildford High Street? waves
Imagine, for a moment, that I shoplift as a teenager as a drunken dare. I'm caught, and pay the fines and a bit of community service.

Or, perhaps I'm just suspected of shoplifting because one of my friends did shoplift while I was with them, and I'm added to the list. The doubt is reasonable enough that it wouldn't get me convicted, but it's enough for this system to add me and keep me in it.

For the rest of my life, I would be treated as a criminal by shopowners, even if I never commit another crime.
It looks like Wikipedia agrees with you- Originally, "Yahoo Search" referred to a Yahoo-provided interface that sent queries to a searchable index of pages supplemented with its directory of websites. The results were presented to the user under the Yahoo! brand. Originally, none of the actual web crawling and data housing was done by Yahoo! itself. In 2001, the searchable index was powered by Inktomi and later was powered by Google until 2004, when Yahoo! Search became independent. On July 29, 2009, Microsoft and Yahoo! announced a deal in which Bing would henceforth power Yahoo! Search.[4]

I have no idea if this is still the case.

No, the few pennies you spend on products of a particular business do not affect the business' behaviour.

Are they? Anecdotally, I'm in St. Louis and Houston regularly and every mall I know of in both cities has always been busy every time I've been to it in the past five years. The more upscale malls in Houston are actually so busy that I can't bear to go more than once or twice a year, and I'll usually take Uber when I do because parking is so congested and difficult. Granted, these are both relatively large cities, so perhaps that's a factor here.

Also, I've seen B&N stores in malls before.
