Phoenix is Elixir not Erlang. Although they both run on the BEAM VM.
No, it's not, as long as you measure it and give precise figures. And we do it. I just tend not to trust somebody's personal assessment of the situation based on the fact that he thinks it's warmer than in the past: it might be local weather patterns, El Nino, simple suggestion.

I think in your link "economical extraction" means "economical extraction at current or similar prices". At suitably high prices, even extraction from seawater becomes reasonable (google gave me http://www.technologyreview.com/news/514751/novel-material-s... with an estimate of $1e3–2e3/kg). I assume this would have a limited effect on electricity prices because uranium prices are probably a minor component of nuclear power costs.
#1 is true out-of-the-box, but there are many ways to fix that.

#2 is flat out not true unless you decide to ignore all of the documentation and have your render function depend on something other than the state and properties of your component.
I genuinely enjoy very well targeted advertising. It has actually made my life more enjoyable.

It's happened to me on Facebook a couple times where there has been an advertisement for something that scratched an exact itch I didn't know there was a solution for.

Honestly, I think if you're against ads, you just aren't getting good ones.

I'm curious how YC would rate the benefits of the program?
My guess (from most to least):
1. Networking
2. Urgency
3. Capital
4. Advice

Advice IMO is the least valuable benefit of an accelerator. There's no shortage of advice out there, and founders who take bad advice only have themselves to blame (poor judgement).

The negative impact of bad advice IMO is far outweighed by the potential impact of an expanded network, the momentum gained from "rising to the challenge" of an accelerator, and the capital infusion.

All non-trivial change is irreversible.
It's not a political criticism. For there to be a steady, statistical rise in temperature over time due to how people measure temperatures, you have to come up with some mechanism for how that could possibly happen. It would have to be a deliberate effort to game temperature readings so they look warmer slowly over the course of decades. Someone would have to come up with a rate of change such that thermometers don't all go from a shady place to direct sunlight in one year, so it looks all gradual.

Your argument holds no water. We're not talking about one person with a thermometer they've been moving to increasingly warmer parts of the house for a hundred years. If you don't trust the data sets we have, then you might as well throw almost all science away because most of it is built on shakier data sets than this.

Same reason chip manufacturers offer free samples.

Some portion of the people who buy one 3-cent button are going to come back in a couple weeks and order forty thousand 3-cent buttons. Free, fast shipping on the first button is to entice you to use that button for your design instead of someone else's.

It's not GoDaddy. My SO tried to register our family name earlier (after pre-registering for it, even!) and got a similar price.

Querying the WHOIS server for the domain says the following:

"This premium domain is available for purchase. If you would like to make an offer, please contact platinums@rightside.co."

Rightside.co is the owner of the TLD. It looks like they've set aside a bunch of common family names so they can charge "premium" prices for them. So helpful of them!

I actually just posted about this -> http://www.skepticalscience.com/co2-lags-temperature-interme... the co2 lag in the ice core records indicates temperature rise prior to co2 emissions but 90% of the temperature rise then occurs AFTER co2 levels rise so its both natural cycles AND co2 where co2 is the more significant culprit. I was in your camp but got out.
Doubtful that will be anytime soon and we'll most likely always need some sort of baseline power system that's not a from a renewable source.

That's basically an echo server, which is a standard networking test. Leaving out the overhead of actually processing the payload means you're able to see how well the networking stack (and the parts of your program which interface with and manage it) can perform. Getting a clean number from a benchmark like this also makes it easier to estimate how much performance overhead is induced by the other parts of your program.
Good accelerators don't make exploding offers.

The traffic is only unencrypted if the destination traffic would normally be unencrypted. That means that an exit node can't MITM what would already normally be an HTTPS connection. It's a small nitpick grammatically, but the distinction is an important one.

Edit: Another potential concern that I hadn't thought of might be pavki's concern for traffic correlation attacks, but that's entirely speculation on my part since they haven't provided any clarification to their original comment.
Interesting point. Any reason that 17W is too high for you? I'm thinking about cost but that is maybe $15 a year. Are there other considerations?
Some domains for .family TLD may be Premium because the registry operator (not GoDaddy) set them as premium. Like cars.family. Some registrars do not offer premium domains at all (only regular domains). Have you search for the domain in https://www.hexonet.net/ ?

As somebody mentioned, "domain tasting" is not possible anymore.

There is always the chance that some person (not GoDaddy) registered the domain as an investment and try to resell it at a later time: as long as this domain does not infringe on a Trademark, this activity is completely legal (a person that does that is called a domainer).
USPS always delivers my packages. When I see USPS I know I'm going to get the item on time (along with 600 outdated emails regarding the tracking, but I digress). I'm in 11201. (This does not apply with packages shipped internationally. They will claim to deliver it, ignore your redelivery requests and signature releases, and then whine at you incessantly when you go to the post office to get the package. But you do get the package at the post office, so that's nice.)

UPS also does a great job. I don't know how they break into my building, but they do. Once in a while the normal delivery person takes the day off, and you get the door tag. Fill out the form online and the package appears tomorrow. Not perfect but reasonable.

FedEx is awful. FedEx means I'm not going to get the package unless I happen to be at home and they happen to actually ring my doorbell.

DHL is also awful (the delivery mechanism of choice from amazon.co.jp to the US). I order a $10 magazine and they won't just leave the package at the door. In fact, they call me to see if I'm at home, say things like "oh, you didn't answer before, I'm not on the way there anymore so I can't deliver it" and other such bullshit.

Finally there are the taskrabbit-like shipping services, A-1, Lasership, etc. If you see one of those you aren't going to get your package. Just re-order it and hope you don't lose the lottery again. They can't even successfully deliver to commercial addresses with dedicated courier receiving and fully-staffed mail rooms.
And what do people think of something like http://mweststrate.github.io/mobservable/ ?
Nuclear can still catch up.

Photovoltaics have a cap even if the panels are produced for free, simply based on land cost and infrastructure cost. That is also because they are not matchable to the demand curve. As a batch technology (like charging batteries for new electric cars, or powering irrigation) they are great. It for regular on-demand electric use it will always remain an in-fill.

No. At least in the original plan[0] presented by Elon Musk, he indicated that anything longer than about 900 miles would be better served by supersonic air travel, which wouldn't require a whole new infrastructure. But for closer city pairs, you'd spend so much time not at cruising altitude/speed that the hyperloop wins.

Awesome, thanks! I'm going to check this out.
OK, but remember that the experts said the same thing about oil and natural gas, and were wrong in that case. Here the estimate of ~10 megatonnes assumes that seawater extraction will never be economically viable, one possible source of error.

If you're interested in the history of "peak resources" here is a good book about Paul Ehrlich's famous bet with Julian L. Simon:

We've had this discussion before, but nuclear is already more expensive than renewables, and getting more expensive. Renewables are getting cheaper.

In addition, nuclear takes longer to setup, and the most feasible solutions being considered that are supposed to solve nuclear's current problems are all in the prototype stage at best.
If it was a scavenged system, I'd be apt to believe you, but a new build like this, you almost certainly would use new ribbon cables. In bulk, the ribbon is about fifty cents a foot, so reusing old parts wouldn't be worth the trouble of having to troubleshoot problems down the road.
Just finished up a hardbound copy of "Asimov on Physics", and was able to find "Asimov on Chemistry" overseas for a good price. Definitely my favorite author, and the Foundation Series are my favorite books. Hard to believe he started those when he was 19; genius.

Anybody think a collapse is happening like in foundation (i.e. falling back from nuclear to primitive fossil fuels)?
Not necessarily true. Liquid fuels are used for transportation but only for niche generation, because they have higher costs, both in capital equipment and in fuel cost.

Likewise, battery cost for transport can make it attractive, but that doesn't necessarily make it better for stationary generation. Scale beats everything when it comes to generation.
This used to be a big thing, but since Check 21 and truncation that amount of money banks made has been severely marginalized. The big reason stems for risk.

The 2-3 allows the receiving FI to mitigate, IIRC, around 70% of the risk associated with the most popular types of rejects. (e.g. insufficient funds)
I can't tell if you're saying it's good or bad.

To me it shows a product-first thought process which is a good sign for me, assuming they have the technical talent to back it up.
That ignores the price curve of batteries. Right now, wholesale prices for lithium ion batteries are $150/kWh of capacity, which translates roughly to $0.15/kWh of stored energy. This is less than the price swing in spot prices for energy currently, so we'll start seeing this market expand drastically.

And as electric car batteries lose capacity and need to be replaced, those batteries will still have plenty of storage left for use at home or on the grid.

When batteries get down to $75-$100/kWh capacity, storage will be able to take over much more of the grid. And there are lots of promising flow batteries that can beat lithium ion on price, when it comes to grid-level storage.
The industrial waste caused by solar/wind would pale in comparison to the existing waste being generated by electric cars and mobile phones.

And of course you can't expect every country to go fully solar/wind. What you need are integrated, continent wide power grids and alternative energy storage mechanisms like molten sands etc.
No, this is just about right. The evidence they have points sharply to there being a ninth planet. Now they're saying "here's where it might be, we need help finding it!"

Once someone has a photo and an orbit, that'll be the >>3.8sigma you want, but I don't think anyone is saying anything like that yet. What they're saying is "dedicating 5 years of the pinnacle of your planetary astronomy career to looking for this thing is probably not a waste." They directly compare this to the theoretical prediction of Neptune, so I think the authors have this same interpretation of what they are doing.
[Not the op] I neither think that someone moved a thermometer to a warmer place. The problem is that some weather stations were originally placed outside a city many years ago, but the city grow until the weather station is surrounded by the city. Cities are 2°F or 3°F warmer than the countryside, so this creates a fake temperature. Obviously, this changes are not ignored, so the temperature tables have corrections for this kind of problems.

Some of the weather stations were moved the countryside, to avoid the problem or because the office they were placed was relocated. So when the place changes, it necessary to adjust the temperature tables to compensate any differences between the locations.

So, there are a lot of corrections that have to be calculated correctly to have reliable temperature values.
True, it's impossible to argue "deep learning" is not in the midst of a massive hype boom, and it does just generically convey one is using a deep rather than shallow learning approach. But at least the research going on there is still quite exciting, or so it seems to me.
"It would be kind of nutty to ship components halfway around the world [from Asia to the US], adding a layer of complexity to the manufacturing process when everything is much more easily accessible in Asia.”

Well, except that the raw materials used are being shipped to those plants in the first place... and shipping costs are at historical lows.

"Doing some back-of-the-envelope math, Wiens said that consumers could pay around $50 more for an iPhone that was assembled in the US versus one that was assembled in China."

What's a good book for someone who wants to know more about climate change? I recently bought the most scientific, written by scientists book I could find on Amazon, and the gist of the book is that any amount of warming that is happening is due to geologic cycles and not human activity. The consensus here seems to be that it is due to human activity, so if that's the case can you point me to a good explanation of what's happening? I'm not biased either way, I just want to know the truth according to science, which seems to be really hard to find for some reason.

That's what happens when you combine people who have fixed ideas, with noisy data. As you say, once this spike subsides (pushed higher by El Nino), we'll probably have another 5-10 years of people talking about the next global warming pause. Meanwhile the baseline carries on creeping up.
yes, it would be really helpful to get some examples of the counterproductive advice.
The expense and lead times and nimby-ism which cripples nuclear are mostly regulatory.

If you apply the same constraints to wind generation (which is increasingly happening) it looks even worse than nuclear.
>Every person on the planet should have a carbon consumption rating and have exponential taxes applied accordingly.

Anyone know how practical it might be to have a "progressive" carbon tax, similar in nature to a progressive income tax? I can't think of a good way to measure individual carbon-dioxide generation offhand, but that doesn't mean that there isn't. Maybe in a piecemeal fashion? Bringing back carbon based Luxury taxes on airline tickets, with a $100 tax on the first transoceanic flight, $200 for the second, $400 for the third, etc.?

Promising. However naive extrapolation from that source would would be a significant underestimate of required capacity. Western Europe has significant seasonal deviations in sun. Our governments would not accept direct electrical imports from Africa. We also consume much more energy per capita that other regions.

Batteries are really not that bad for industrial waste. Lead-acid are terrible, but there are better options when it comes to daily storage of lots of energy.

Compared to coal, give me batteries any day! And we don't really yet know the full effects of all this cheap natural we're getting through fracking. Though I'm sure fracking is probably better than coal mining, we'll have to wait to see.

Apache explicitly allows multiple overlapping projects. See, for example Apache Storm/Spark/Flink.

Also worth noting is that the implementation matters at least as much as the API.

In this case there are substantial differences: Data flow is a DSL, not a Java API, and it is designed for streaming data. It is unclear if Crunch handles the streaming case, but it talks a lot about Map/Reduce which makes me think it isn't the primary usecase.

I was also made suspicious to some of the claims about climate change by the fact that in Italy we've had, since I was a child, two common sayings:

"Summers are not as they used to be"

and

"there are no autumns and springs anymore"

They were used as examples of empty cliches that old people repeat - something to absolutely avoid. Somehow it was known that while everybody feels that it is so, it's also a form of mis-perception, much like "Nowadays young people have no manners any more". Then the climate change issue became prominent, and immediately everybody was transformed again in its own legitimate one-person weather station, complete with long and accurate temperature records.

In the "Dictionnaire des idées reçues", a long and hilarious list of vacuous cliches that Flaubert compiled in the 1870s, you can read the following line:

"Hiver. Toujours exceptionnel"
Desperate people living in poverty are not those most responsible for climate change. The developed countries, most prominently the US (in absolute terms), contributed most to the problem and have the economic power to start addressing it. The reason Canada (to take another example) hasn't done more to prevent climate change has more to do with greed and misallocation of resources than with poverty eradication.

The choice between lifting people out of poverty and addressing climate change is a false dilemma. Both can, and should, be worked on. Energy abstinence is not the solution. Instituting a carbon tax, ending the monopoly of rent-seeking energy utilities like NV Energy (who do all they can to stop renewables in their track, see [1] and [2]), and letting the market work would be far more effective. All that is needed is political will.
