We do standups in UK morning so EU members have a morning standup and China members have a 'day closing' standup: "today i did..., tomorrow i will begin with ...".

> OCD is rituals for structure

No, it isn't. If you don't know anything about a severe, debilitating illness you should probably do a minimal bit of web searching before talking about it. There are literally hundreds of websites providing good quality information about OCD.

OCD is an illness where a person has obsessions (intrusive thoughts), and compulsions (rituals to cope with those intrusive thoughts).

This has nothing all to do with "structure".

OCD provides no benefit to people with the illness.

WHO have recognised OCD as one of the top 10 leading causing of debilitation (Years Lost to Disability) in people aged between 15 and 44.

http://www.who.int/bulletin/volumes/82/11/en/858.pdf

> Of the 10 leading causes of YLD in the world among individuals of all ages, four are psychiatric conditions, with unipolar depression being the leading cause (2). Among individuals between the ages of 15 and 44, panic disorder, drug use disorders, and obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) were included in the top 20 disorders.

Then you should do squats because standing all day doesn't give you big strong legs.

Note, I'm not claiming that squats will make you smarter. For some reason we get a lot of "correlation science" on HN.
I'd recommend a combination of billguard and mint. Mainly billguard, both free. billguard allows you to add your debit/credit card accounts. when you make a purchase, bill guard notifies you. it will group your spending habits into different categories. at the end of every week, bill guard notifies you by email with a message similar to this "you have spent $400 this week etc. etc. going into the app itll show you where the money you spent went to. this is a great way to determine how much money you go through a weekly basis.

Depends on your location. Here it's more than double that. 'Vastrecht' as it is called for me is about 50 euros right now.

It's one of the more sneaky tricks pulled in order to extract more money from people that have managed to successfully reduce their consumption. After all if you paid just a per KWh and per cubic meter price for electricity and gas then your efforts to conserve energy would pay off much more than with the fixed base cost for the hookup.
Oh that's interesting. It looks like it would cover some of requirements (ie by presenting everyone with a list of stand up notes). I wonder if you can schedule when your 'day' starts with stand up mail on a team member by team member basis, since that's one of the problems we were trying to solve. I'll dig into it, thank you!

Since the events of the blog post we've been experimenting with some similar steps, which have been working quite well. I hope to write them up soon.
True, I should have said pointers and pointer arithmetic. In Pascal you cannot do these things because there is no pointer arithmetic to move along strings and arrays.

I dunno...I'd prefer being able to download and run every cool virtual meeting space or VR movie theater that plays my own movies or in-development 3d telepresence project or interactive projection visual plugin that comes out (in addition to games and stuff that are fully and officially supported).

Later on, sure, there will be plenty of fully commercialized and polished software on every VR platform that's still around but right now this is inherently an early-adopter platform. Sony will offer a handful of launch titles that work with Morpheus and maybe let you rent VR movies for $20 a pop. But when the HMD is just a peripheral, you'll get the polished stuff as well as the beta stuff and honestly that's where all of the cool software and applications are gonna be for a little while still.

I can't imagine Sony allowing something like Riftmax Theater or letting you use something like VorpX to simulate playing your games on a giant 3D IMAX screen. I'll never get to enable beta VR support in a game like I can with Steam and I'll never get to fire up Unreal Engine and model out some neat stuff, hit "play", and then walk around it in VR.

Basically if AAA games are your priority, Sony and other console-type platforms will be more polished but probably more limited. If you're here as an early adopter with enthusiasm for VR as a platform and eager to try out every new concept or application, you're better off with a more open platform for creation and distribution.

And as for the cost, needing a $400 video card only applies to some people. Since I already need and use a computer for lots of things, I tend to spend the extra money on a nice GPU instead of a gaming console for roughly the same cost. This won't apply to everyone but it's the market that PC-based VR is after at the moment. My GPU cost me $100 more than the launch price of a PS4 with no additional peripherals and lets me play any new games (as well as my huge library of older ones) at 2560x1440 with all the bells and whistles. I think for a lot of people who enjoy gaming and multimedia work/hobby, it's a solid way to go.

Either way, in 5-10 years it'll go the way of much other consumer tech and you'll be able to get top performance at mainstream, affordable prices. The high costs and tradeoffs on various platforms right now will become less of an issue with volume sales and mature hardware/software.
The problem is that exchange rates vary. Showing the current rate would be misleading.
I was really impressed with the Pebble SDK on this front(aside from the one-message-at-a-time part of the comms API).

Solid clean C API. Phone does all the heavy web-lifting, it really is best of both worlds.

Also PebbleCloud is one of the slickest web IDEs I've seen(working emulator streaming over VPN!).
T-Mobile’s Binge On: When throttling may not break the rules
There where a few that made the trip back. But, an estimated ~95+% of people living in the Americas where killed by European diseases. Granted, some of this was deliberate biolocial warfare, and far more people immigrated to the new world than made the trip back. But, even still it's a huge difference.

Measles, Smallpox, Typhus, and Cholera for example where all major and easily spread diseases.
Many years ago we experimented with using iDoneThis https://idonethis.com/ at FreeAgent. Standup Mail looks really similar, but with a much better name ;-)
First of all even a simple program like that will have standard libraries mapped into it's address space. Your program is reading from a region of the processes address space that has the binary code for the memcpy() function.

On linux you can dump a processes address space mapping from file "/proc/<pid>/maps".
Or to see an example just run: cat /proc/self/maps
That cat command will dump the address space mapping for that instance of the cat command. If you run it multiple times it will show different address ranges because of a security feature (ASLR, address space layout randomization).

Also you shouldn't use fprintf or printf to print 1 char. printf will try to look for format characters in the "string" you are passing it. It would be better to use fputc(*p, stdout), then you don't even need to call memcpy() or the "onechar" array.

If you set "p" to a block of allocated memory, then your program should segfault shortly after reading past the end of the memory. How many bytes you can read past the end of the allocated block of memory depends on how the memory allocator manages pools of memory and it's own bookkeeping information is stored.
That is unfortunate. But good to know, thanks.

That sounds like a great solution, and isn't something we've tried yet. What's the team spread like? Are you folk fairly cross-functional? As in do you have members of the same team in each of the countries? And if you do, is the split fairly even (2 from each for example)?

I might suggest we trial what you're doing on Monday.

Seeing pixels when you zoom in is a matter of how much data you have for the image. Having a higher resolution will just get you more well defined pixels which are part of the image.

Seeing pixels because of the resolution is because the pixels are too big or you are too close. It has nothing to do with the image or zooming.

If you go to the 'overview' section, there is a nice snippet explaining all this. It points out that gravity works fine in a universe that is running backwards, however entropy is decreasing instead of increasing.
The 80% sounds over the top to myself as well, but in the article they were using it in reference to someone with an income of 1 billion dollars per year. To my mind, 80% on 1 billion isn't so crazy. It sounds like the far end of the scaled tax curve. As far as I can tell, there are only a handful of people (like maybe five) that make in excess of 1 billion a year.

I work with government agencies and I am all for them being more accountable, I have no doubt that they could spend a lot less than they do. On the other hand, I am entirely unwilling to wait for them to become more efficient before deciding to severely tax the five people who make over 1 billion per year.
Post-2008 (i.e., the final turning point re: the IRS was when the former UBS employee spilled his beans, but I'd be willing to bet Swiss cooperation post 9-11 just by some heavy-handed Homeland Security Agents in poorly tailored suits storming in discourteously) even grandfathered numbered accounts have no security in them for foreign nationals. As I understand it, if you're an MNC you transfer price and lodge your funds in the most tax-friendly domicile (Ireland) and retain those earnings without any remittance. For US nationals, the best way to engage in tax avoidance is to play a game of seashells in the Seychelles (oh god I'm sorry for the pun) with shelf-companies and auxiliary signatories, and keep on routing around until you eventually land up in HK. The only thing a US citizen gain from a Swiss bank account from is protection domestic civil litigation, i.e., divorce claims. Swiss nationals, as I understand it, still retain their anonymity but who really knows.

Fun fact: It's not the Caymans, Switzerland, or HK that is the largest tax shelter in the world - it's the US banking system.
Well that only reinforces OP's argument... In this scenario you have a few powerful companies taking the pie away from taxi drivers, from small petrol station owners, from small car mechanics, etc... It is a zero-sum game because these people will have to beg on the streets. In this scenario, would the driverless car have helped improve life for humans? Yes it would improve the life of rich people; it will be very convenient for them to not have to drive... But what about regular humans?

An alternative scenario would be to tax driverless car companies and give the money back to the people whose livelihoods were taken.

I have no doubt that in a fully-automated world, society will either be socialist or communist. If wealthy people start thinking about inequality and actively work to improve things, then we will have socialism. If they don't, it will just spread misery and resentment among the lower class and will likely lead to a more dramatic change in the state of affairs.

Oppression leads to extremism. Just look at what happened after world war one when Germany was burried in insurmountable war reparation debt... It created a generation of resentful german extremists - And along came WW2.

What is the actual cost to the grid of a solar home which only uses power at night from the grid and maybe delivers some to it during the day?

The first stage of the process is to take a vanilla CoreOS host and inject the CUDA drivers (one time process). After that, you can reboot the box and still retain the devices, for mapping into docker containers.

The BeagleBone Black is $49.99[1] and has very similar specs.
You can interface with its hardware using JS, and it already ships with the web-based Cloud9 IDE.[2] The main differences are:

* BBB has 4GiB on-board storage vs Chirimen's 1GiB
* BBB has 512MiB RAM vs Chirimen's 1GiB
* BBB has no analog audio in/out, but
Chirimen has no on-board networking
* You can buy a BeagleBone board right now.

If you want to trade off the micro HDMI port for two additional 4-pin peripheral connectors (Grove[3]) and trade the 5V power adapter requirement for the ability to power the board with microUSB, then there's the BeagleBoard Green for $38.99.[4]

I think it's pretty normal to not be conscious of it when it's at a resting rate. I guess what I meant to say is that I'm conscious of it when it's not at a resting rate and alarmed when it isn't and I feel like it should be.

The utility also has to be prepared to provide you with the power that you aren't using (if there's a solar eclipse or something). The marginal cost of power generation is very low, so you save them almost nothing by not using the power.
Musk is the exception though, he explicitly did not take his money 'home', he invested it (all of it!) back into new projects.

Most people that somehow made a lot of money would not do this.
Thinking about it, this is probably a side effect of the later, dirtier portions of the industrial revolution (early-1800s-) vs the early conservation movement (mid 1800s+).

I think it's ultimately to the detriment of the environment that the preservationist/Muir/Sierra Club strain of environmentalism won out over the sustainability/Roosevelt/management view in the public consciousness.

Of course, I generally stop listening when an "environmentalist" starts railing against nuclear power without a cogent argument (of which I'll admit there are a few). Love alone doesn't save nature, sadly.

There are a lot of things we don't know. How do we know that non-GMO foods are good? Just because that's what we've done for thousands of years doesn't mean it's "right".

The concentrations of most of the medications (anti-depressants, contraceptives, antibiotics, etc.) are large in relation to drinking water, but small in relation to the ecosystem into which they're discharged.

Any animal that eats them can usually break them down given their low concentration and half-life, using liver enzymes, and since the majority of the chemicals are human-targeted, they often have much affect on local flora or fauna.

We have bigger problems biggest waster water management anyway. When it rains, your town probably dumps raw sewage into the nearest river through a CSO (Combined Sewer Overflow), which is... less than ideal.

The previously mentioned mechanisms are actually considered eco-friendly approaches in comparison.

So yes, it is a very weird world.
> What this is all about is the power companies are suddenly deciding they want to pay wholesale for excess power. Why should they pay wholesale?

The power companies (normally) have enough power to supply everyone; they buy that power at wholesale prices and sell it to the customer at retail prices. So why, if they can always buy power at wholesale prices, should they deliberately pay retail prices instead? Doing so increases their costs, which then potentially raises rates for others.

So, asking power companies to buy power back at retail rates amounts to having power customers pay to subsidize the solar power generated by other power customers.

Looking at it as a subsidy, though, suggests a useful way to bring it about. Many power companies have a program where you can pay extra per kWh for "green" power, paying for the use of wind, solar, geothermal, hydroelectric, and other renewable zero-pollution power sources. Why not use a program like that to allow customers to subsidize solar power if they want to, and use the resulting funds to pay customers higher-than-wholesale rates for solar power?
