Not sure why the author chooses to use music as some kind of arbitrary reference point about how 'uncreative' it is due to having a rather large canon of "technique" involved. The reason there aren't a lot of stories about somebody just randomly picking up a guitar, tuning it to whatever and banging away something of creative beauty is because...well...the instrument kind of doesn't allow it. I've basically run under the assumption of the following:

"It really helps to know what rules you're breaking and why when doing something new."

Given that Kindle Unlimited is available in France (according to http://ebookfriendly.com/kindle-unlimited-ebook-subscription...), I wonder what they do...
I've been using NoScript for years as well, and I have to disagree with you. Now that NoScript auto-permits the base domain (which you can switch off), I don't have to do much manual permissioning. There's the occasional bit, but really, 70% is a ridiculously high estimate.

Then there's the occasional 'funny photo' site which won't work until you enable 15 different sources - in which case, I just pop open Chrome if I really want to see that funny photo.
As less oil is produced though it will also likely decrease the returns to scale that I assume exist.
Pumped water storage is awesome where you have the geography to support it.

Alas, that's not everywhere.
Not sure if this is what you mean, but a big disadvantage is that stocks vest over (usually 4) years. Every year the company can choose to give you more, or not. If not they are cutting your salary.

Manufacturers will sell as expensive as they can get away with. Of course, there's decent competition in this market to counteract that.

jimrandomh's scheme would require a significant amount of collusion between all major producers.
Although I strongly agree with you, and I strongly doubt this report, the story is that they change bikes during the stage. There's no limitation on changing bikes for mechanicals or any other reason. So the hypothesis is, they don't carry the dead weight. They change to the electric bike just for the Muur von Geerardsbergen or whatever.

I have to agree with you here. The thermal camera footage they did show was just shockingly weak. They had one instance where there was higher than average temperatures coming off of the cogset. Which coincidentally enough is a rotating joint with the weight of a grown man pressing down on it for an entire race. Seeing heat here is not surprising.
Wow, I remember this project! I was involved in the Electrical commissioning for the first phase of the buildout. I Remember the 2 hour car rides at 5AM to get there. One night I had to stay up overnight doing a UPS load-test there, was cool walking around with nobody in sight, boring otherwise.
"The Guide" was one of my favorite ever rainy day reading experiences, irrevocably changed my approach to my work. I'm sure I join with others in saying thanks so much for your generosity and what you continue to bring to us all.
My reaction was based on several reactions

1. I heard more convincing music composed by AI a decade ago.
2. It suffers from the same pointlessness that seems to plague these attempts: Disjointed, monotonous, doesn't go anywhere.
3. The exercise did not place itself in the context of other approaches to AI music compodituon.
I apologize for my rudeness and brevity.
It could depend on a lot of things. If at a price of $100 you have 10 buyers, and at $200 you have 8 buyers, you'll clearly sell at $200.
Parc ferme is practical when you have 20 racers at a purpose-built track, but a logistical nightmare when you have 200 racers going between rural villages.

The UCI already impounds bicycles for testing after races, in the same ways as anti-doping controls are applied.
You might want to try SporkHack. The goal of SporkHack is to remove guaranteed win strategies, while making the game not harder (and perhaps even easier in some instances) for less spoiled players.

> I think that's the point of disagreement. Is it ever appropriate to address an adult "woman in distress" as "honey" if you are an older male and not in a relationship with her?

Again, over again, one more time, yet again, here on HN I was not addressing any particular woman. Instead, there was full anonymity on both sides. So, there was nothing personal involved. I used no names and, really, know no names of the women, and the women don't know my name. So, what I wrote was not really personal. I never claimed or suggested that what I wrote would be appropriate to say directly from a particular man to a particular woman in a real office, employment context; guessing or concluding that I was so suggesting was an unjustified "extrapolation" and, likely, some hypersensitivity to some of the attitudes of political correctness. So, clearly one should take what I wrote as what a man would tell his wife, sister, or daughter.

In our society, in a case of such anonymity, such use of honey is common. E.g., Trump says in public that he "cherishes women". Well, maybe he does. But that is not the same as him walking up to a particular woman, one of thousands at his rallies, and saying "I cherish you". Everyone knows this difference.

On my parents, my mother was born and raised in Ohio, and my father, in Upstate NY. He met my mother in Ohio, and they got married in Ohio. My father went to the Old South because that is where his employer wanted him. My parents had no sympathy at all for the racial norms of the Old South; my ancestors are from England and Germany, but I hated those norms of the Old South and got the hack out of there ASAP. I'm in NYS and don't want to go back to the US South. My mother's approach was clear: Since she did work, she hired a maid for some of the house work. The maid was Black. Mom was sure to make the maid's US Social Security contributions. That was extraordinary.
It is a good deal, but a robot is at least 50% about the control software. Putting a deep learning algorithm on wheels is not necessarily going to make a great robot. It will definitely be an awesome research tool and it is open source so there could be interesting control systems developed fairly quickly. However, if you are not a robotics researcher it would probably help to see some demos first.
The problem with the U.S system is everyone has their hand out for money. In America, Money is considered the universal yardstick for success and universally effective solution to all problems. The health care industry grew 20% last year? Fantastic!

It's a perfect example of the civilizational collapse process that Joseph Tainter, a professor of archeology, wrote about in his book "Collapse of Complex Societies"[1]. A society will get some sort of civilizational process that works to create wealth in their society. The civilization will continue to increase complexity to exploit this process and when the process starts returning negative marginal returns the collapse process begins because the whole civilization can't switch into reverse. This happened to the Romans with their conquer and receive tribute process for example. It eventually started yielding negative returns and they couldn't reverse course. The inertia was just too great.

For all I know, they're talking about my previous employer (Sanmina). In electronics manufacturing, the economy is truly global and we had on average about 6,000 active suppliers at any point in time. It would have been (and was) trivial for someone to spoof a supplier's email and change bank routing information or send an illegitimate invoice. If the Accounts Payable and plant + corporate controllers aren't paying attention and reconciling invoices to orders, things like this will happen.

I feel bad for companies that fall for it, but at large publicly traded companies there's really no excuse. This is easily avoidable through process diligence & training.
Yeah, it'd be like telling marathoners they have to wear a specific model of shoe. There's so many factors that go into comfort etc.

Ask HN: I'm an SDE1 at Amazon. Is no compensation adjustment this year typical?
Last year, after the annual performance review, I got a 3% raise and stock to vest in 2017. This year there was no change to my compensation. My boss said that because the stock has been doing well, many people were over the compensation targets that Amazon had set for them and would not be getting an adjustment. Is that typical for Amazon, or for the industry in general?
The key thing is being able to respond to attacks and keep a gap from forming. Often all this takes is a well-timed burst of power for a few seconds at a time. Easier said than done, but juice from a battery could easily make the difference.
Yes, .NET/C#/VB on a daily basis for a long time. JEE for a good period as well. I constantly keep an eye on jobs and in my local area I would say 85% fall into .NET or Java, with the majority being .NET. Other standouts include PHP, Python, and a little of C/C++, even VB classic. I've seen maybe 3-4 Ruby jobs advertised in the past 4 years, never anything for the Silicon Valley trendy. But then again, I live in a very small town (Hobart).
This is not about fixing the problem. Actually in professional cycling nobody is interested in fixing the problem. They want to give the appearance that it's fair, but there are massive conflicts of interests between organizers, sponsors and teams to prevent a "clean sport" equilibrium to take place.
Of course if the more solar we get combined with cheap computing a market will emerge where there are two prices of electricity. Car charging will probably be first where they turn on/off depending on the solar output. Refrigerators and AC could follow.
It basically is the next Atom. The Atom line has seen modest improvements over recent generations to the point that it now offers almost acceptable performance for everyday tasks. Perhaps this one will take it over the line.
Would the jammer also work against other global navigation systems?

Xiaomi phones, for example, can receive GLONASS and BeiDou signals.

In the future, Galileo may also be an option.
The two complaints I hear from "normal", non tech people.

1. The loss of carrier subsidy makes the price very high.

2. The iPhone 6 was carved out of slicked butter. I can name 10 people who have smashed one. I'm personally on my 3rd device. I never broke any mobile phone since 1996 until iPhone 6.

Email is an amazingly insecure protocol that we rely on. Relatively hard to verify senders, complex cumbersome protocol, by default most clients send the whole thread back in a reply.
Think of it as a metaphor. There is definitely something there acting independently of me. I try to veto it but I'm not always successful.
Window Managers are nice to play around with, I see no real reason for using StumpWM other than that you also would use a Lisp Interpreter routinely and program in Lisp. Then StumpWM is a nice thing to configure, hack, nicely integrated with a Lisp Interpreter, no interference with Emacs Shortcuts (default StumpWM shortcuts keep out of the way), you will feel at home in the community, et cetera...

So the question is not necessarily why choose CL for a window manager, the question is: why not?!

In quite a lot of cases Programming Language preference decides what WM people end up with, and that's totally fair.

If you are into C/Lua, Awesome might be your thing.

If you are into C, try dwm and i3.

If you are into haskell, then by all means, xmonad might be great for you.

If you are into Python, there is Qtile for that (also quite nice).

For a list see here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_X_window_manager...

At one point I also tried StumpWM out of interest, and though this was a while ago, it was perfectly usable.

Don't discount stickers. Telegram's sticker support (and its ease of creating your own sticker sets) is one of the reasons I and a lot of my friends have moved to it for most of our messaging lately. I personally went crazy and did a set of like 50 stickers with one of my own characters, which can add a ton of whimsey to my casual conversations.
Hey Callmeed,

Appreciate your thoughts.

This is stuff we've absolutely thought hard about. Believe me when I say that I would love to cut the costs by switching providers for certain things, but the tradeoffs at our current size aren't worth it in our opinion.

I'm working on another post which outlines the tradeoffs of the different services and why we chose the ones that we use. That's probably the missing piece here — we've thrown out a lot of numbers but didn't give the reasons behind it (we wanted to keep the article focused and short).

Re justify-ing the cost, we absolutely can justify the cost. We've thought about all of the things that we spend time on and we wouldn't do something unless we thought it was the best use of our resources.

FreeBSD would work too. When talking about low cost computers adding a $120 Microsoft fee kind of defeats the purpose.
That's not an example of trying to have it both ways. There's no law that says you can't have both a solid base salary and a good equity grant, so you increase the upside but get screwed less on the downside.

I don't see people on HN often arguing that companies shouldn't be allowed to offer equity, more that people shouldn't blindly accept equity grants they don't understand - that are smaller and more limited in upside than they think - in exchange for greatly below-market salaries.
Evidence? That is a very serious charge, and I feel sure you would not just shoot your mouth off with an accusation that would destroy the careers of people and cause damage to our military and country unless you had strong, incontrovertible evidence.
Because it is one of the most difficult sports, if not the most difficult one. There are not many others, where you race 4 to 7 hours 6 days a week (and besides the 3 main tours, you are engaged in a gazillion of one-week tours, 3-days races, one-day classics, etc., teams run several races happening at the same time in different part of world, even second or third categories teams).

Another parameter is that it is probably the sport where it is harder to make a difference, because of the importance of drafting. Leaving the protection from the wind at fair speed is a bit like hitting a wall, it requires an amazing amount of energy compared to staying in the group. But if you ever want to win, at some point...
Tiny Motor Powers a New Threat to Cycling Races
Must be nice to be a protected multinational. Small businesses that fall for these scams are just told to fill out a complaint form with the FBI. They dont get their money back.
Why does the initial drop form a square after a few iterations? Is that real or it's only an artifact of the square lattice of the simulation?
No, they don't. Citizens and small businesses lose tons to VAF (victim assisted fraud) and are on their own.

A: It needs to get efficient enough and paired with storage to survive the regulatory kickback.

Power companies and non-solar ratepayers will get increasingly unhappy with net metering customers. That joyride will end.
Cool idea, but there doesn't appear to be any service there yet - just an email harvester. I would expect the site to use SSL too.

That's the rub, being creative is not worth much if you don't have the necessary skills and technique (practice practice practice!) to express yourself.
Ascending isn't particularly difficult, it's just that it requires levels of attention to detail and preparation that verge on tedium for some.

One example: in order to pass through the Elemental Plane of Water on the Astral, you need to find the (moving!) portal. In order to do this with optimal safety, you want to have:
genocided all sea monsters, so you don't need to worry about krakens and the like
have a means of magical breathing, in case you do end up in the water
rustproofed all your metal armor and other gear
have a large stash of Scrolls of Gold Detection, in a Bag of Holding (itself blessed and stored inside and oilskin sack so that water doesn't get in and erase your scrolls)
have a means of safely giving yourself the Confused status
(reading scrolls of Gold Detection while Confused lets you detect magic portals)
a means of swiftly removing said Confusion, so that you can...
*use your Boots of Speed (or other speed-boosting effect) to close rapidly on the moving portal.

And that's ONE challenge on ONE level (although its deep in the endgame and considered one of the harder things in the game). Now imagine doing that for 100+ levels of gameplay... you CAN virtually guarantee a win in Nethack, but its never fast.

I spent a couple years playing hard in college. I read spoilers, and save-scummed for a while, then stopped save-scumming because it wasn't fun and I didn't need to anymore. I've lost track of my legitimate ascensions - at least one with every class, and then I started in on conducts and score maximization.

Now, I still play on and off for a week here or a week there. I can ascend about 1 in 4 times with the easy starting classes like Valkyrie. My YASDs inevitably come from rushing or not thinking things through, plus very occasionally getting screwed early by the RNG.

And I'm not particularly good at the game. Really good players can virtually ascend at will, with the only limitation being their available time.

Like I've written in a comment here, very often programming language preference decides about what wm is best for someone.

So if you are into CL, then StumpWM is a nice thing to configure, hack, nicely integrated with a Lisp Interpreter, no interference with Emacs Shortcuts (default StumpWM shortcuts keep out of the way), you will feel at home in the community, et cetera...

I've tried lots of different tiling window managers, and most of them can be configured to behave quite similarly / to have a very similar workflow. So the reasons for choosing one over the other are sometimes very subtle.
You're right. It's been widely observed that oil and many other valuable natural resources are actually bad for countries unless they already have good governance.

I think the biggest impediment to widescale solar adoption is legeslative.

If you follow hackernews, you'll regularly see articles about places like Florida (and possibly Nevada if memory serves) where solar could easily power homes, but disingenuous legislative instruments and manipulativly worded ballot initiatives are housed to effectively block solar adoption.

This is an example of the top result in Google news http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/news-columns-blogs/fre...

Not the greatest example I've seen, but again, if you follow HN you've seen variations on this story dozens of times.

Lobbyists protect big utilities instead of facilitate solar.

It's tragic to think how much further along we could be.
It's why Thelonious Monk is such a polarizing figure in jazz. He breaks every rule in the book, yet it works because he knew exactly what he was doing.

Everyone seems a bit obsessed by batteries as a storage method, when we have more traditional methods:

- Pumped-storage hydroelectricity - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumped-storage_hydroelectricit.... Sure it's not suitable everywhere.

- There's always Molten Salt as well - http://www.solarreserve.com/en/technology/molten-salt-energy....

Also, solar isn't the be all and end all of renewable energy generation. Wind, Solar, Hydro, and Geothermal all have different strengths and weaknesses, and flexibility of generation is important.

But above all, I think security of supply is probably the number 1 requirement (unless you're a big fan of load shedding - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_blackout), and therefore, we'll still need energy sources that are reliable.

I predict a move away from coal towards natural gas. Sure it's not perfect, but it's not the worst either.
The Lazy Newb Pack more or less takes care of the difficulty of doing that, though.
Technology is an integral part of cycling, just as it is in motorsport. There are some one-design motorsport racing classes, but they are far from the most popular. Fans like to see innovation, we like to coo over the beautiful new machinery on display.

Some of the greatest moments in cycling are directly related to technical progress, most obviously the Obree/Boardman battle for the hour record. On one side a professional champion with a million pound superbike, on the other an unknown amateur with a bike he built himself. Many fans complain that the current regulations are too conservative and provide too little opportunity for technical innovation.

Cycle racing exists in a symbiotic relationship with cycle manufacturing. Race wins sell bikes, bike sales fund race wins. Cut the manufacturers out of the sport and they take a huge chunk of sponsorship with them.
