If I knew what your test was going in it wouldn't be an issue. Unfortunately, I don't know if I'm getting your 15-minute competency screen or, say, Virtu's 3-hour borderline impossible beating until I actually log in to take it. Since the latter seems to be more common than the former, it pushes me to reject you up-front unless I am desperate.
The article assumes net metering, which is a huge subsidy for solar. Peak solar generation causes low spot prices for power (see the California "duck curve"[1], and the negative prices that Germany has on sunny days[2]. In Texas wind can cause energy prices to go negative[3]).

The costs of storage must to be included for a fair comparison, so that power can either be saved and used by the household, or provided back to the grid. If provided back to the grid, the homeowner should get paid the spot price like every other generator, not full residential rates.

Web Project Owners: Preparing Your Business
With WeChat I can:

Order and pay for materials from suppliers and have them sent to my factory

Communicate with my factory regarding product and pay them

Have the finished product shipped to my fulfillment center

Sell the product in my WeiDian shop and receive payments

and so on. WeChat is essentially digital infrastructure for both personal and professional use.

I'm thinking that you're definition of an 'insult' is probably very different than that of the rest of the world. If that isn't the case, please define where the insult is in said thread other than where s/he called me a racist?
Yea, but that's just definition. In reality, we call people we consider undesirable "immigrant". Everyone else gets to be an expat.

I wouldn't call refugees expats, but their intentions aren't any different. They just do what's in their best interest.
>Let's be honest

Yes, convicting these people would have been difficult (which speaks to the alleged crimes, in my opinion). Yes, the bank bailouts weren't a paragon of good sense. Hopefully lessons will be learned for the next time.

Perfectly valid arguments and far removed from "toss these chaps in prison". I don't want to live in that world.
So, VMs are effectively a completely different machine. Different memory space, different disk space, different process space, etc. This is linux applications running on the same machine as your windows applications. Yes, they'll be able to talk to each other. Your windows service will be able to talk to a database running from linux and vice versa. The linux processes are still processes running on your windows machine (evidently they're some sort of "lighter process" but that hasn't been explained well... but it was explained that they'll be able to be communicate directly with other processes via sockets, ports, etc).

The demos are VERY convincing. Basically everything works exactly like you would want it to work. It's exactly ubuntu and windows running through the same kernel at the same time.
your comment hits pretty close to home for me, too. This is my life right now.

Since I'm a Site Reliability Engineer we don't get the freedoms some developers get in regards to working times (I'm sure there are some companies which are fine, but coming in a midday all the time would probably not go over well anyway.)

I wonder why nightowls get such a bad rap, and why every human must do things at the same time, it's a strain on public transport and places to buy lunch etc; it reeks of an awful inefficiency for the sake of consistency and little else (maybe social interaction? I don't socially interact though..)

VoCore – A coin-sized Linux computer with WiFi
Probably the most succinct of the articles I've seen covering this. The competition for LCD (and now OLED) displays is pretty intense, that Sharp went from one of the market leaders in display technology to this shows just how profoundly the market has moved since competitors LG and Samsung went head to head. A lot of change in the last 10 years.
To add to this, the fraud was pretty brazen. For example, these bankers [1] approved a loan to a shell company owned by the bank's insiders for the purpose of buying the banks shares. None of the large banks in the U.S. did anything like that. The closest we've had is the LIBOR scandal, where prosecution is certainly happening.

I work on a platform agnostic python tool. It's just so much easier developing python on a nix system, but I'm restricted to either an old version of enterprise linux or OSX. I love linux, but I don't love having to customize everything to get a workable environment. I tolerate OSX, but if it wasn't nix I would never touch it.

Now Windows has some pretty major issues (utf-8 in CMD is agonizing), but it comes out of the box more usable (to me) than either OSX or the vast majority of linux distros. If I can have my nice window management and also the ubuntu user space, I'll be a very happy camper.

Ask HN: Possible to filter duplicate Medium articles?
Article URL from Medium.com ends with an extra “#.xxxxxxxxx” for example:

https://medium.com/@XebiaLabs/you-are-ready-for-continuous-delivery-take-the-leap-75d591bf9ef#.pw87epg5g

One can reach the article with just the URL without this last segment. The problem is every time you visit the URL without the extra segment, Medium will issue a new segment to append to the URL, thus the same article will now have a different URL. (Any idea why Medium implement such feature?)

I understand HN has build in filter to disallow submitting new post that has already been submitted in the past. But it currently can not filter off the same Medium post with different URLs. It would save readers much time if these Medium duplicate posts can be detected and disallowed. Thank you.

Sort of. There is a mechanism to "kill" a user's posts; these are posts that get flagged "[dead]". A logged-in user with showdead checked in their profile can still see them, though. In fact, as of several months ago users can "vouch" for dead posts that should not be dead.
> Even human society can only be analogized to an organism. It isn't one either.

Why not?

An organism can reasonably be defined as the minimal subset of a gene's phenotype that is actually capable of reproducing. On that view, an ant (for example) is not an organism, an ant colony is the organism. This neatly solves the puzzle of how it is possible for evolution to produce ants, since the vast majority of individual ants are sterile.

On that view, the minimal possible organism for a sexually-reproducig species is a mating pair. But a single pair of humans would not survive in the wild. At a minimum it takes a village (as they say). So a human village can reasonably be taken to be an organism, just as an ant colony can. But a village can't produce a technological society. At best, a village can subsist. So why is it unreasonable to consider (say) a city-state as an evolutionary advance on the village, and hence an organism in its own right even thought it isn't minimal? And so on through the Roman empire, the British empire, and the modern nation-state and multinational corporation, all of which are no less examples of the human genome's phenotype than the human body itself.
In 2015, I had a half million dollar contract.

I have no idea who this "socio-economic elite" is that you refer to, but in general, if you want to make money as a software engineer, you don't need a fancy degree.

If you want to make money, you need to learn how to sell yourself and constantly put yourself out there. No university is ever going to teach you this.

The crime is wilful financial mismanagement, it took many forms: sub-prime morgages, LIBOR manipulation, fake AAA ratings, Goldman's advising its clients buy toxic assets to get them off the books, ... the list of actual crimes is huge and largely unprosecuted by the revolving door financiers/ regulators.

Turning a blind eye, wilful ignorance should not be an excuse but it is a succesful one.

Capitalism is self-interest - the idea of self-regulation is a nonsense, if one can make money and get away with it then someone will which is natural.

What is wrong is the continued lack of oversight, either by lack of regulation; or the regulators and regulated change places - the revolving door.

The economy is a golden goose, wealth is continually created, but if the money is hoarded, economies stagnate - no-one benefits, the goose is dead.

Quantative easing removes value from money by printing more, then gives it to the banks who hoard it.

Yes QE doesn't have to be bad, if the printed money recirculates, the problem is how it is done (no guarantees about lending from banks) - its origins doesn't stop them juking it to all heck.

The problem is not capitalism but weak government who give out money but negotiate only vague promises not guarantees.

As the voters are responsible for government then the electorate is ultimately responsible for this, but were they really given a choice ?

On a humerous note perhaps in times of crisis the government should be suspended and let the civil-service run things with out the costly and unecessary changes indulged in by the popularity contests.
TARP has yielded a $64.5B profit [0] for the government. It was a loan, not a gift. It should be noted that the financial bailout was profitable, while the auto bailout netted a $9.5B loss [1].

Don't try to fight your biology and never play to your weakness.

I might generally agree with your sentiment, it feels like too many people are too willing to not take responsibility for themselves, but I can tell you I've needed to engineer my life around my sleep schedule. It's partly why I'm an engineer. I've been a night owl since I was a baby, and I can tell you, I'm never more miserable than when I consistently need to function before 10am, and I'm extra useless any day I need to set an alarm for the day. So I make it clear to my coworkers that if they avoid scheduling meetings before 10, I won't schedule any after 5. After that, anyone who tries to discuss hours gets to hear instead about output.
I'm interested in the security implications that this will bring. Extra features bring extra potential attack vectors, and this is one doozy of a feature.
Well, the included packages in the "dcos package" CLI repo are just the prepackaged frameworks. You can actually deploy Kubernetes on top of DCOS in the same way - it natively supports Docker containers as an execution method.

This can really be traced back to the repeal of Glass Steagal. After the great depression in the 30s, congress passed the Glass Steagal act, which put a firewall between investment banks and commercial banks. In other words, Wall Street investment banks could no longer gamble with customer deposits. This seems like common sense, and all of the financial problems actually occurred after Glass Steagal was repealed in the 90s.

It seems fairly obvious in hindsight that Glass Steagal was good legislation. It led to a 60+ year period of extended prosperity, and the greatest economy in the world. Once it was repealed, it set us up for a global financial crisis a decade later.
This is great. Playing around with Terra for a few weeks now in my spare time. And it's a great language.

As a side note. I'm not sure this is usable in software other than Scientific Computing kernels, as relying solely on CUDA rules out AMD and Intel GPUs, if i'm not mistaken.

I disagree, I believe there would definitely be effects to freedom of the press and free expression. Trump's opinion of the press is well-documented[1], as well as his opinion on free speech[2][3].

Donald Trump reminds me more of Silvio Berlusconi than Erdogan, personally.

Berlusconi was nowhere near Erdogan's style of strongman politics, but unfortunately, during his term, Berlusconi did stifle press freedom somewhat in Italy... primarily via questionable libel lawsuits against any critical outlet if I recall.

It's easy for me to see Donald Trump following a similar pattern, of attempting to sue any critical outlet into silence.
> I'm a little more surprised at the Cloudera markdown, they seem to be a pretty important company in a sector that only keeps growing. Any insights as to why Cloudera was marked down?

More generally than Cloudera: this can be a reasonable thing to happen to an important company in a sector that only keeps growing. Examples:

- someone got a little excited, or got in a bidding war, so paid an amount that upon post-deal reflection seems high. Yes, this is #1 bubble behavior, but it can just happen (in a slightly less extreme fashion) on public stocks as well.

- A company can be perfectly good but its customer base may be sagging for other reasons. So the assumptions that applied last time the stock was purchased may now be invalid... until the company finds a new group of customers to sell to or external conditions otherwise change.

- Investor A puts money in under certain assumptions. Investor B comes in in a later round at a higher valuation because Investor B likes the widget market and thinks it will grow at 20% p.a. over the next few years. Investor A still likes the company but doesn't think the widget market is as strong yet...but the price has now been set by Investor B. So Investor A legitimately marks it down even though Investor B legitimately doesn't.

Note that all this is crazy anyway -- VCs typically don't mark their investments down anyway since it's all hypothetical until there's a liquidity event or shutdown. These are large private equity entities who have to report for other reasons and have their own reasons for assigning valuation (see my last point above).

12 tone is a historical scale. Initially (Pythagoras) the scale was based on perfect fifths. Over time the notes in between the diatonic scale note were added. Tuning started becoming a big deal because if you tune all your fifths to be perfect, some intervals outside of the scale got really weird. Equal temperament was the compromise solution.

Instead of tuning perfect fifths, you just make every half step the same. That means that your other intervals are all out of tune, but it is small enough that you don't have some keys that are horrible. Bach's 24 preludes and fugues (in each major and minor key) was partly a demonstration of a similar tuning system--well tempered, also known as Werkmeister.

Other music traditions such as indian classical/raga, use different tunings.

I'll also add that the all-key tunings like equal and well tempered are hugely important for the development of music from back to today, its not mere esoterica. Look at something like a late Beethoven piano sonata. In the course of a single piece, it may modulate a hundred times through a half dozen keys. The development of all key tunings, while they made 5ths worse, made it possible for a pieces of music on a fixed tuning instrument like a piano to range through any key, and that was huge to the development of music.

Has San Francisco Reached Peak Restaurant? An Investigation
I was also surprised by the negative notes, so I went to the site to see what the product was about.

I watched a 1:32 min video that said "what we are doing now isn't working". Really, 90 seconds to tell me that?

From that point it was down hill. What happened to web sites that get to the meat of what they are doing quickly?

I was very disappointed. As a project manager based on the website and the first 100 comments here it's unlikely that I would give this product a second glance. There are other project tools out there, I'd pick another.

I only hope that this is an early April Fools joke, in which case "Ya got me Sam".

If we look at email and its spam situation, its rather clear that the future of content publishing that is funded by advertising will have to do so in a much more designed and careful way. The days when you just throw as much ads at the user as possible is over. The light in the tunnel however is that users do accept some advertisement, when its done in a tasteful and useful way. For example, a game review site or lets-play should link to a official source where viewers can buy the game, and both publisher and viewer benefit for such link.

People who do paid/sponsored content is not native advertising when viewers are being tricked to think its something else. Instead its a crime, often by breaking marketing laws and tax laws, and police in many nations have started to investigate and prosecute those who do not follow the law. Since the tax office is involved, I doubt this problem will continue for much longer, but maybe ad block technology could step in and prevent some of the more hidden advertisement by pattern matching logos or something similar to youtube's content ID.

It's always been this way, why are we not watching TV ads anymore? Because there's a better option out there.

The concept seems to be that it's a worrying trend and I should be somehow ashamed for not wanting to view ads? Isn't that ridiculous? Advertisers seem to forget that it's their job to figure out how to advertise effectively. The world has moved on and no one will watch their stupid annoying ad. So they have to come up with something we will tolerate.

People are still complaining that no one is watching ads on TV and people don't buy newspapers. We moved on and they have to as well. I understand that there's small publications / blogs / businesses who are definitely not the "enemy" and I'm not saying they deserve to go out of business. But if the landscape changes, they must adapt too.

I'm sure we can all agree we are better off with Netflix than watching regular TV.
