Interesting, that seems to contradict the information in http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/...

Specifically, the FAQ says:

"Will running a small number of Intel AVX instructions
reduce frequency below the regular marked frequency?

No, frequency will be reduced below the regular marked frequency only if a real power
or thermal constraint is reached, not just due to the presence of Intel AVX instructions.
Some workloads that utilize Intel AVX instructions could still achieve turbo above the
marked TDP frequency."
There you go somebody has said it. I had a technical blog that I was maintaining for much the same purpose until I realized that it wasn't worth the effort I was putting into it. I might revive it later this year but I'd have to make sure it is for the right reasons. There's too many pointless tutorials out there and they squeeze out the ones that are really worth your time.
It is just a university research group presenting a development prototype for a police car - so it's not likely something that will be on the roads anytime soon (though the Hungarian article speculates that this would "come in handy for the september G20 meeting in Tsengdu and could be introduced there").

Their prototype can "automatically scan all faces in a sixty meter circle around the car" and be able to reconcile it with lists of suspects, even at speeds of 120km/h. It is also able to recognize and store all number plates visible around the cop car.
Isn't a standard track only ~a quarter mile (400m)? With a 40 lb pack, twice a day, plus hills, on young bones, with poor judgment about balance and weight placement, someone's going to get hurt. Stress fractures didn't seem implausible, though I suppose ligament injuries are more likely?

And yes, every specialist I've been to has said all I can do is try to protect my joints until I eventually decide I want surgery.

There is no business usecase for movies and music (with some small exceptions for ads, but nothing like enterprise software). So, by your criteria, they just shouldn't receive copyright protection because their product targets consumers? How does that make any sense?

I could not find a description of the algorithm used for distributed transaction. I can only assume it's similar to CockroachDB but looking at the code I see a lot of reference to "LOCK" in the protocol buffer definition which mean they might be using something else.

Anybody know where I can find more documentation ?
> My basic understanding of ICEs is that they are most efficient when you can run them at a specific RPM(and tune for that RPM) which is why you see Diesel-Electric Locomotives where the ICE largely acts as a generator.

That's spot on. This is why you can't use the cam from a generator on a car and vice versa (even if it is otherwise the exact same engine, such as with the Willy's engine). The cam on a generator will be very pointy to open and close the valves across a very sharply defined moment in the engine cycle, whereas on the car version the cam is much more smooth giving a wider operating range (but at lower efficiency).

The reason why Diesel Electric locomotives use the electric motor to drive the wheels rather than using the diesel directly is twofold, one the efficiency that you already noted, the second reason is that the electric motor does not need a clutch and has a torque curve much better suited to getting a large weight accelerated (much like steam power is better than ICE's at this, it's the exact same reason).
Similar thoughts. :)

He's author of great stuff out there, but I think his works should be treated more as showing the way of doing this or that than making you stick to his particular implementations (I'm not implying they're bad, though).
For instance I prefer runit over daemontools, but quite likely without daemontools there wouldn't be runit. (Actually I want to try s6 [1] soon, as it seems another step in evolution of process supervision tooling.)

But his "build system" is actually unnecessarily non-standard and clunky. I am against autohell, but carefully crafted handmade Makefiles are really nice.

I thought it seemed odd that Python supported the AND operator on lists, but it doesn't.

You do need to convert to a set first, e.g.

[1,2,3] & [1,2]

gives a TypeError, while

set([1,2,3]) & set([1,2])

gives set([1,2]) as expected.
The quote in there from Chief Plenty Coup really resonates with me. I grew up in that part of the world, and attended high school with a member of the Crow tribe. He was the nicest, hardest working kid I knew. His parents drilled the idea into his head that he'd have to work twice as hard as the white kids to be half as successful.

Even by the 90s, when I knew Crow kids, "second class" doesn't even begin to describe the discrimination they faced. "Prairie nigger" is a term that got thrown around--and wasn't objected to by a sitting US senator.

As far as I can tell, things haven't improved. My nephews' dad is native by race, but was raised by adoptive white parents. Looking "half Indian" nets all kind of assumptions--some innocuous but cringeworthy, others pretty ugly.

I don't know what the right answer is, but the US needs to figure out how to be less shitty to its indigenous peoples. New Zealand is far from perfect, but from my observations there, engagement with Māori is miles better than anything here.
Yeah but we're very good at patching shebangs, rpaths, etc.
A few thoughts/ideas:

Grid saturation: smart charging to flatten the demand curve (overnight), daylight charging with more chargers in parking spaces at the office, west-facing solar panels and grid storage to smooth the duck curve.

Lack of chargers on the highway: increase in charging speed (15 minutes breaks are recommended after 2h of driving), increased battery range, platooning with autopilot can save 15% of energy [0], very low cost of expanding supercharger networks, auto-pilot to tolerate longer drive, auto-park to accept longer pauses, battery swapping

Energy sources far from charging stations: don't underestimate the predominance of home charging; south-facing solar panels and wind turbines along highways; grid storage; battery swapping

Car sharing: battery swapping again; autonomous fleets to dispatch charged car and auto-park cars (with snake-like charger to auto-plug)

Infrastructure investment: large public program for distributed generation with solar panels and grid storage

Range anxiety: 250 miles might be the average range for EV in 2020, supercharging and battery swapping to the rescue

Trailers: battery swapping again, and battery integrated in the trailer (might turn into a backup battery once at home)

Lack of servcie: EVs require far less maintenance than ICE, Musk intend to make a 1-million miles powertrain and reuse battery for grid storage; also industry-wide standardization

Tax break: they will somehow be extended to balance the externalities of fossil fuels (health, environment); EV will reach cost-parity very soon too.

I doubt that'll be anything like what the outcome of an accident involving a self driving car will be like.
yep, the containers are encapsulated by hyper container
Basically it uses a hypervisor to launch your docker image, but not a full blown VM, since there is no guest OS, like ubuntu or coreos in the VM. There is only one tiny kernel in the HyperContainer to run your Docker app.
Or roll some dice. 1-3 = left, 4-6 = right. If one lane starts getting backed up a bit, shift the numbers by one. 1-2 = left, 3-6 = right

"77% of the light vehicles are likely exactly that 77% that is used rarely"

I won't use the word 'extraordinary', but that's at least a strong claim, so needs strong evidence to back it. Why wouldn't 77% of vehicles mean 77% of the load?
This is exactly what I've been waiting for. We're currently on Tutum, and have 60 days to decide whether to migrate to Docker Cloud or a different platform. This one, on the face of it, would be much better for us.

1) Are there any competitors?
2) Can we be confident in building our business on this platform? What is the funding and stability situation of Hyper?

Airlines like Southwest have no first class. And Southwest lets you pay for priority boarding, so it stands to reason they could cook up a scheme for letting people pay for priority exiting.
I'm not sure about the original link since it 404'd before I could look at it but if it's like the other fork up on here it seems it uses the node package manager. So a simple method would be to install nodejs: https://nodejs.org/en/

This installs npm (node package manager) for you.

Open up any Command prompt or Terminal depends on the OS you're running and I'm sure there are lots of alternatives these are usually just the default installed on every machine.

Run the install command which looks something like "npm install pirateflix -g"

The -g means it installs globally on the machine so you can access it in any directory instead of just one specific folder or location.

Once that's done you can just start off each command with "pirateflix" or "pirateflix --help" to get details of the function. It's documented on the github under Usage and Options. Should be straight forward from here. Hardest part is probably just knowing what npm is.
> The easiest solution, car always yields, would just mean it will take forever to move because people will lose all respect and just treat it like a solid obstacle.

I've often wondered how self-driving cars will deal with this. Imagine we reach the point where self driving cars are perceived as being guaranteed to stop before hitting a pedestrian.

This presents a lot of problems that need to be overcome. A car-jacker could rob you simply by getting an accomplice to stand in front of your car. Teenagers might start jumping in front of cars as a high-tech game of chicken. What happens when somebody steps into the road and the car brakes so hard it gives the occupants whiplash?

I'm sure all of these problems will be solved in time, but it's going to be interesting to see how!

Yeah we package a lot of stuff these days---more than our market share would lead one to guess. So yes feel free to file a PR for anything missing, but there's no need to port Arch packages en masse.
Haha! Well if you compare that way, there are numerous examples of a piece of software doing well(or have more market cap) than a physical company with many machines and thousands of employees!
Charge people by the order in which they exit the plane. First person pays $100, second person pays $95, etc. So the first 20 people have an early exiting surcharge, and then everyone else is free to take their sweet time putting on their jackets and rearranging their suitcases whilst standing in the aisle.
That would help. But also, dired (and find-grep-dired, and shell-command-on-region, and delete-rectangle, and a couple dozen others).

I bought a mazda cx recently with all of these feature. I must say I don't find any of these really useful, but again I don't text while driving.

I think these features breed a false sense of security and encourage users to text while driving. Features like these should be introduced only when they can protect users from all cases of distracted driving not just one or two situations.

On short flights that 40m could be another 40-50% of the flight time.

The cost of a plane is v. expensive. Sitting on the tarmac for 1/3rd longer is VERY expensive, just in deprecation/interest/lease payments.

However, it probably makes sense because I imagine some/all airports charge luggage handling fees per item/kg, that are probably quite expensive.
Who's to say that the power I generate during the day isn't being used to charge my car. The grid is also a pretty useful battery.

It really doesn't take that long to charge the car after the commute. In winter, chances are that it's from municipal power, summer it's probably from my solar. Either way I'm offsetting my car use with clean, local power.
Not really, no. The current generation of kids is growing up with the Internet, but that doesn't mean they're automatically "tech-savvy" or "Internet-savvy". For most, it's just another magic box.

While TrustZone can implement DRM, it is not a closed management engine. If you control the board, you can load your own OS there (but, conversely, if you cannot load your own OS there, you do not control the board).

Yup, was aware of point #2 as well. They mitigate that in part by backing up too(thus putting slack in the cars) before moving forward. Always fun to hear the cars going thunk, thunk, thunk as they get ready to head out.
I doubt it. The powerpc to Intel switch was really painful because the desktop platform has the perpetual ball and chain of backward compatability. I doubt Apple would try to beat Intel at their own high performance game anyway.

No, I really don't.

In times of true national crisis, emergency powers allow the US government to commandeer the civil air fleet for military uses.

The rest of the time, these foreign ownership restrictions prevent better operators from taking ownership stakes and fixing the efficiency problems that plague uncompetitive mainline US airlines.

I for one would LOVE to see what an ME3 carrier could do with, say, American Airlines.

Obviously I'm not factoring in initial manufacturing costs.

Having 13 million to invest in manufacturing at scale, brought costs per unit sold down 35%, which is good. But I don't know many people that would buy a cooler for $500.
