Depends on how fine-grained the data is. Hard braking and then gradual re-acceleration could mean you getting cut off on the highway, vs. hard-braking prior to a full stop, a wait, and then hard acceleration could mean a tailgater taking off from a stoplight. Also, how regular the occurrences were would also give insight.
Yep, this is essentially the biggest piece. Using CTEs and having building blocks that are easy to logically follow is the single biggest thing you could do.
With the situation in Oregon, part of the dispute comes from the federal government wanting to purchase the land from the ranchers.
He had... at its maximum 13,000 people on the service at a single time from an HN post. Most of these people just touched the landing page and bounced away. Any VPS should be able to handle that since its static traffic.

At its height, 600 people were daily active users (at a most generous estimate). Unless those 600 people were all active at the same time of day, you'd be able to handle it easily.

People underestimate what good caching can give you. I had an application that would only be able to handle 20/req/second without caching. With aggressive caching, it could handle 2100/req/second so long as that was all reads; and that was true. It handled 40,000 people a day with the $49 dedicated server hovering at 2% utilization in CPU for Postgres, Elasticsearch, Redis, Nginx, and Django Python.

> the time you would spend over the course of a year in maintaining backups and software updates and addressing zero-day security issues

Backups are a once and forget it style process. A simple cronjob can backup to another disk or upload to S3.

Zero-day security issues? They're handled by a managed server host. All kernel level updates are.

Several nuclear weapons have been lost over the decades. There's one off the shore of Georgia that's never been found, one in Puget Sound, and a couple more. If you count submarines, there's also the wreckage of the Scorpion which contains two unrecovered nuclear warheads.
Huh! $1m for land? Where, in Monaco? What's a McDonald's sit on, 1/4 acre? And I assume the $1m for "building" includes all the branding collateral, signage, custom cabinets, and other expensive to-spec physical accoutrements?
The eastern states paid the taxes the federal government used to open western States to settlement through surveying, irrigation, and removing Indians. It's only right that the federal government own the land and use it for whatever purposes the National electorate chooses.
The only possible ways you can believe you can write issue-free large scale projects in C, which don't suffer from all the usual pitfalls of C, are:

* You've never deployed one.

* You've never had to maintain one.

* You wrote the last line of code and handed it over to the maintenance team, who then never gave you feedback.

* You have no customers.

* You have done a never-before-seen formal analysis of a large scale project down to the individual source line level, and made no mistakes with the formal specification.

The author is correct: use C only if you must. There are still an enormous number of reasons why you must use C, but it should be a constraint imposed on you, and not a language you actively want to start a project in.
Yeah, this is Yahoos biggest failure to be sure. I've even said this on HN a few years ago, that if yahoo were smart they'd have already taken their billions they sit on and exactly copy YC

Whoa, be careful with the one you work at. There are often insider trading rules governing when and how you can buy/sell shares of your own company and derivatives involving them.
I was responding to his reductio ad absurdum which is indeed valid if it is not balanced by the realization that others are equal, it should not (have to) be balanced by needing to be responsible for other people. You are not responsible for others, but they are deserving of your respect, as long as they respect you. I'd also rather have people do something for me because it makes them feel good than because they somehow feel responsible. I think you are misinterpreting my statement. And maybe I read to much Ayn Rand ;)
A tribute to the Russian poet Sergey Yesenin
A lot of work today can be done while socializing as well; it isn't really balanced to discount extra non-hunting/gathering work time because it wasn't their primary role.

I think we can all come together behind the idea that being isolated inside in a cube farm for >8 hours a day with minimal social interaction or variety of stimulus is unhealthy.
The ranchers might be anti-government, but the legislators passing laws in their favor are Republican.
You're not an adult until you have children or aging parents to care for.
All of that does not matter one bit to an insurer. If what you think (or what someone manages to measure of it) can be used to predict damages better than without the data, that allows the insurer to offer those with predicted lower risk a lower premium and thus gain them as customers. It doesn't matter that you possibly know that you would never follow through--if people who think about murdering other people on average are more likely to actually do so and they cannot distinguish between those who do follow through and you, it is rational for them to put you in the same category.

Sort of. We haven't proven a single thing beyond certain size and complexity. That was true when it started back in Orange Book days. Even when Dijkstra came up with the stuff and the method of dealing witg it: composition w/ preconditions, postconditions, and invariants.

You code in a functional style and/or with state machines composed. They composed stuff hierarchically and loopfree where possible to facilitate analysis. Each component is small enough to analyze for all success or failure states. The results of each become "verification conditions" for things that build on it. With such methods, one can build things that are as large as you want so long as each component (primitive or composite) can be analyzed.

Not clear at what point this breaks down. I used it for drivers, protocols, algorithms, systems, networks, and so one. I brute forced it with more manual analysis because Im not mathematical or trained enough for proofs. However, what holds it back on large things is usually just lack of effort far as I can tell.
I got about halfway through, then kept scrolling to see how long it really was, especially since I felt that I had gotten the gist of the article... WAY too long for what could be succinctly described in a page or two.

int8_fast_t meets this description (because the range for this particular loop only spans 10, but you should use the int16_ or int32_ versions as appropriate). int8_fast_t will likely use native-register-sized integers (probably 32 or 64 bit on many architectures).

This is IMO very close to the inference you describe, while still providing some stipulations about what you need.

int8_fast_t and its siblings are defined in <stdint.h>, described in this article (though it would be nice if the article mentioned them).
Most jurisdictions have (tax) limits on the amounts you can donate from a corporate entity.

If I pay you $1k for something, you get $1k and I pay less taxes on x - $1k. If you ask me to donate $1k, I probably can't (or I'd have to pay extra corporate tax on the gifted amount, i.e. $1k + x% CT). Some jurisdictions allow you to "gift" 5% of your taxable income, in others it's capped to a certain amount (i.e. €2500) but only to accredited non profit entities.

Now, I could donate personally, but fiscally that isn't too great. Think about this stuff, seriously. That $100 donation could be $200 (at no extra cost to me), if you just considered the tax situation. Who am I kidding? I'll just donate $200 to the other guy who did consider it.
Right. As if somehow having children makes you more mature. I know plenty of parents who are just as immature as before they had kids.

This is certainly an experiment that YC could afford to run. Going random is really the only way to know if your selection processes are extracting real value or not.

The best way of doing this would be to pull the random companies out of the good, but not good enough to fund, pile. I am sure YC has little problem telling a good startup from a bad one, but I bet they have real problem picking the excellent from the good. Trying to pick the excellent out of the good is where you are most likely to run into unconscious biases.
>If that load hadn't been deleted, the utility would have charged retail pricing in order to generate it.

Sure but they would have only paid to wholesale rate to generate the power.

It's like going to the gas station and trying to sell them gasoline at their retail price. Why would they do that when they buy it at a cheaper price from someone else.
> The government owns all land until it is transferred/sold to a private owner.

But surely the state government, rather than the federal government?
Amusingly, this doesn't prioritize. It simply throttles all video streams to < 1.5Mbps (dvd quality).

Arguably by selectively only "optimizing" their opted-in providers wouldn't they be in a position where they're making some streams "faster" (not to mention free) and open to action by the FCC?
Even in the best-case scenarios, you have no way of knowing what those people have borrowed against those shares and/or what they've done with that leverage (maybe bought some illiquid assets that it's difficult to mark to market even if you knew what they were), so it's still impossible to compute a net worth. I'm sorry, but for all the efforts of the Forbes guys, I'm inclined to agree with PG -- the numbers are probably hot garbage.
In the absolute worst case, you can pretty much transcribe your C program into unsafe Rust, though you will be fighting the syntax, which was deliberately made cumbersome to discourage programmers from writing unsafe code.

In practice, I have never seen any programs where this is the best approach. Coming up with designs that don't need unsafe code is very useful, because the safe subset of Rust is vastly easier to analyze and understand, both for humans and computers.
There is another problem with not using the tracking device in the future. If the companies design the tracker to use CAN bus data then the people with older vehicles(even relatively safer older vehicles) are out of luck. Not even Chrysler completely stopped using their proprietary CCD bus until around 2006.

Hopefully they would design the trackers to be mostly independent by putting the accelerometers in the unit itself.
I one time was interested in setting up a command line email client - mutt with procmail or something along those lines. Three hours later I hadn't gotten it working and gave up.

Good for you, but these things are not trivial.
>The real mystery, for me, is: Why was the initial state of our universe so completely non-chaotic? Why did the universe not start out in a state that is essentially equal to the heat-death [1]?

taken as a closed system, our Universe's initial state was a heat-death and it would stay here, nothing would happen. Fortunately or unfortunately our Universe is embedded into previous very old and cool Universe, and this gradient is what drives the expansion of our Universe and thus provides for all the things we see happening to happen, including life (which is just entropy maximizing process in some conditions).

100-200+B year later our Universe will too be very cool and expanded very "thin". The matter will be collected into several hyper-super-black holes with Schwarzschild radii of tens or even hundreds o billions of light years - some probably bigger than our visible Universe (which has 10B light years Schwartzild radius). The matter inside a regular black hole is neutrons being driven into higher and higher states as result of mass being added into the black hole. At some point the neutrons get to split into gluons/quarks and those would continue to be driven into more energetic states as more mass is added, and may be split as a result into something else too. At the same time the space around becomes "thinner" and cooler. At some point, when even more mass is added, and thus this "soup" becomes even more energetic, beyond currently known physics unfortunately, something happens to the gravitational force what has been keeping it together and it explodes and start expanding (as there is extremely high gradient between the "soup" and the space of the old Universe - thus that will be a birth of new Universe inside our old Universe, inside the parent Universe of our Universe ... ad infinitum ... with non-zero gradient, though smaller and smaller as parent-child Universe pair is getting older...
The discussion is about C, so I would assume the post you're responding to was in that scope as well. Leading with an insult isn't likely to win any hearts or minds either.
“Je Suis Charlie” No Longer: A Year After the Attacks
Safely getting that much nuclear material into orbit is tricky. What if the launch rocket fails and explodes in the atmosphere?
Yes one specific republican started an organization, the only bill which passed only affected Utah and was never actually enforced. As it was state-level and federal agencies threaten to sue if Utah did.

Bundy is from Oregon. Further more:

>> One of ALEC’s model bills is the Eminent Domain Authority for Federal Lands Act, which, like Bundy, cites Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17 of the Constitution to justify state seizure of federal land. (A spokesperson for ALEC disavowed Bundy and his actions.)

The laws they are fighting are federal and mostly from the 1930s, enacted under the Hoover government, which was republican.

This is about state vs federal rights, not left vs right. It should be framed as such.
It's not about being a device per se that provides most of the time saving. There are some devices sure, but the biggest time savings come from services.

As you increase your income you can buy services such as landscaping, housekeeping, painters, etc.

With goods, the biggest time savings can come from not having to shop around for the best value. It's not uncommon to have to shop between multiple grocery stores to get the most for your dollar.
What value does it provide to ranchers in Utah to give them free access to the Smithsonean buildings 2500 miles away?

Your point is specious. Governments control arbitrary boundaries. You want "state" control over lands where it suits you, but the point could work in reverse too: why not county control? Someone's got to own it, and in this particular case that was land managed by the federal government before Nevada was a state, and in fact before "Nevadans" even existed as a meaningful population.
The conventional wisdom is that rooftop solar stresses the grid, and therefore net metering at retail prices amounts to a subsidy extracted from the non-solar customers to the benefit of rooftop solar owners.

This, however, is a myth (reinforced at every turn by the incumbent monopolies). Rooftop solar tends to overproduce on the hottest days, which also happens to be the time when the grid is overloaded by air conditioners running at full throttle. In effect, rooftop solar is at maximum production exactly when the grid needs it the most, thus providing very valuable demand smoothing. This greatly benefits utilities, since they don’t have to spend as much on peak-generation capacity.

There is ample evidence that utilities vastly underpay for these benefits [1], while their profits rapidly increase. Three major Nevada casino operators “have expressed vocal criticism of NV Energy for generating huge profits over the past years and not lowering rates for customers of Nevada Power. [...] NV Energy’s profits increased 27.7% in 2014, yet the supplier has not introduced any electricity rates breaks to its customers since it was acquired by Berkshire Hathaway.“ [2]

Over the short term, the incumbents will get their way by flexing their political muscle, but this will only delay the inevitable. Electricity spot prices are at their highest during daytime, while people are at work and their solar generators put power into the grid. Utilities will now pay wholesale for this power, then turn around and sell it to non-solar consumers at the top rate. People return from work as their solar generators become inactive, so they will have to buy power at retail rates. For now, utilities will win both ways.

But what this means is that as storage prices drop, it will be more economical to invest in storage capacity in order to capture the valuable power during the day and use it during the night. This will deny utilities the demand-smoothing services that they currently enjoy, so they will have to increase their capex for peak generation, leading to higher rates for everyone else, which in turn will encourage _more_ customers to install solar and storage, etc. Soon after, people will start disconnecting from the grid altogether; welcome to Uber Energy.

Tectonic plates move slowly, but they rearrange quickly.

This is actually not strictly applicable: what SMBC is talking about is a game that is some portion gamble but for which there is a house edge or strategy that you can exploit for gain. A lotto drawing is purely random (read: no skill) so someone with sufficient understanding of the math is no better off than someone who writes in random numbers. The same is true for slot machines.

You might want to consider TMail21 as an option. User identities cannot be spoofed (like they easily can be with email) AND every TMail from an internal address is marked with an special indicator next to it.

My university did this for about two weeks. This was a major issue for students because they used it for their primary email address. It was a completely useless flag for us (though maybe not the IT folks who had turned it on) because it was on 9/10 emails. This is an implementation issue though, and perhaps could be more cleverly solved.

There are examples within the categories, but not an exhaustive list. Maybe there are more complete lists available for each separate feature.

If the people of Nevada would vote on higher electricity rates in exchange for some people getting a subsidy on soar panels, I doubt the subsidy would win.

I do not contribute to my retirement accounts anymore.

It may be an error on my part, but giving an entity that is more than $100T in debt (unfunded liabilities included) seems foolish.

I expect retirement accounts to be nationalized, in one way or another, in the next five to ten years.

I hope that I am wrong.

I like this MUCH better, you are responsible for yourself and the results of the choices you make and actions you take. That combination, once internalized, qualifies you to be an adult.

As a parent consider seeking out activities for your kids that will give them an opportunity to live that experience (ideally in a safe way) so that they will understand what is expected of them.
I'm barely an adult. Partly because of my bad childhood where I wasn't accepted by my parents and peers as trans. And partly my fault for not getting my proverbial head out of my own ass (therapy, transitioning, finishing my grad degree). Now at 35 I'm just growing up. And I don't mean the basic stuff like keeping a budget and showing up for work doing a good job. I'm talking about making my own circle of friends, actually being me (gender transition), and not being so craven to get outside of my comfort zone. It just seems to me adulthood is that one thing you can't ever be prepared for either. >_> /rant
