Energy storage doesn't mean only batteries, we can store energy as heat, as kinetic energy for example by pumping air into under water tanks, and by quite a few other means.

As far as batteries go, the chemistry doesn't necessarily has to change that drastically the internal structure of batteries is always evolving and we are finding more ways to increase their efficiency.

And with advancements in nano technology new flow batteries are becoming more and more viable for long term energy storage Hydrogen–lithium batteries could offer 8-13 times the energy density of regular LiOn rechargeable batteries and modern flow batteries are just in their infancy.

Flow batteries are also very appealing to the automotive market because cars with batteries that run on nanoelectrofuels could be refueled just like petrol so once your battery runs out of charge you simply pump out the depleted solution and pump new one in.
I wish they would just get rid of the FISC. It only serves to create an illusion that the executive is being checked by the legislative branch. Basically, it's a loophole in the Constitution. I understand that our government doesn't give a shit about the Constitution so let's just stop pretending.
This is something I manage pretty easily without a lot of fuss using a spreadsheet and one bank account with my 1099 business. I do a small volume of transactions with higher dollar values, so this might appeal more to high-volume businesses where the manual effort increases a lot.

I would be more interested in hooking in to the paying and calculating quarterly estimated tax payments.

Will this system do sales tax saving/payments? I pay those quarterly to my state just like the IRS estimated income payments and treat them essentially the same from a management standpoint. Any third-party system would need to be flexible to handle that, as well.

Actually it comes out to $60/yr, which isn't bad for just splitting off funds between two accounts. Obviously they could charge more - $10/mo wouldn't be bad either, still worth it there, which is $120/yr.

But it's not worth $100/mo, or 2% of my gross income, for example. I didn't make so much as a freelancer that i could tolerate either of those financially. And It doesn't remove the need for a CPA, just helps with the ability to pay that taxes you owe.

Not about risk, it's about people putting their hands in my pockets. I can only tolerate so much. I'll pay to solve the problem and make sure they can continue to do so for me, but if it becomes a matter of opportunistic behavior on the company's part, I'll go elsewhere or nowhere instead of being taken advantage of.

Cisco’s Attempt to Dodge Responsibility for Facilitating Human Rights Abuses
This looks like an attempt to monetize an evangelical Christian concept.[1]

From the article: The ideal attitude is what she calls Abundant Thinking — a mindset that gives you the creative agency and grit to reach your vision — and, on a daily basis, to design your own life. When Verresen first meets most of her clients, they’re in reactive mode. It’s like they’re in a movie, acting in their job and life without knowing the script or having perspective. Her goal is to put them in the director’s chair, with more choices, perspectives and possibilities to rewrite and upgrade the script as they go.

From an evangelical site: One way of viewing abundant life is to see when people have been changed by the power of Christ; they live different lives, which affects all aspects of their experience. In missiololgy, we call that "redemption and lift." This isn’t just true individually, but can also be on a cultural level. So, spiritual change, accompanied by better decisions, does often lead to better circumstances financially. (Sometimes it get's you arrested and martyred, so don't miss the point here.)"

Every time I run into this or look up something on caniuse[1], I get a (most likely irrational) annoyance that we're comparing things like IE9 which came out in 2011 (predating the official flexbox spec) against modern versions of Chrome and Firefox. I think the way caniuse's interface is set up, IE9 currently lines up next to Firefox 44 and Chrome 49.

My though process goes something like:
Is it because Internet Explorer is sucky? Partially.
Is it because people/companies aren't updating? Absolutely.
Is it because Microsoft made it hard to update? Partially.

I can't help but think that if a lot of people/companies didn't update their iPhones or Linux desktops for 5+ years, we'd be seeing the same issue and blaming Apple for being so shitty.

BTW, looks like all the flexbox bugs in IE11 have been fixed in Edge[2]. I doubt that IE11 will get patched.

It's sad to see that STM is not recommended.

Actually, this is not recommendation for a specific use case - a (web based) database application.

For applications that require to manage state internally it might be still way to go (sorry, I am not a Clojure user).
Some of the reasons Facebook took away from email are UI/UX-based: 1) have you ever wanted to send just a message without a subject line (email forces you to stop and think for 2 seconds, which is not good), 2) you have to remember the person's email address or how it starts (emails are still not great at just entering the person's name), 3) if the person changes email address you have to know the new one or your mail goes undelivered.

FB gave these folks email without all the above extra and folders, tags, and all that other non sense.

As far as I can tell there is nothing in google's terms of service that relate to defaults. How do I know this? Because Samsung replaces every app I can think of with theirs.

- launcher
- web browser
- mail
- calendar
- keyboard
- SMS/MMS texting app

Not to mention the entire "skin" of the operating system including added and removed functionality.

Samsung even has their own app store on the phone.

All of the above apps are very much the default for their type (when such a concept exists) and in some cases, like email and calendaring, you can't set another program as the default (at least not through normal consumer friendly means).

What "default" are you actually referring to?
The article has some fairly reasonable rules of thumb to follow. For whatever reason I rarely find refs or agents to be useful, and lexical scoping is more limited and predictable than dynamic scoping.

That said, I feel it's a little too harsh in places. Metadata is fine so long as you don't expect it to persist to derived data structures. If you think of metadata as being about a particular piece of data and nothing else, then you won't run into problems. One place I find metadata particularly useful is annotating event data, which could allow, for example, treating events from different sources with different priorities.

I find that there are a lot of specialised tools in Clojure. Most of the time it's good advice to avoid them, but in the rare cases where they are needed, you're glad to have them. Keyword inheritance, for instance, is something I've been using recently, yet I've rarely had need of it before.

External monitor + power at once. I highly doubt that battery's going to drive a 4k for 8+ hours. Actually, I doubt it can drive a 4k @ 60hz at all but mostly because Apple has not released the full specs even though it's been over a year since the Macbook has been released. Even @ 30hz though or 1440p @ 60hz, this can often be taxing on an MBPro let alone the regular Macbook. There might be an adapter that provides both power and Displayport 1.2 or greater, but after months of research I stopped looking. I can barely find regular USB C cables and accessories that people have had good luck with as it is.

And because your employer can fire you, that means your identity has to be the least common denominator.
There's plenty of reason: you can put any code you like inside of `with-read-txn`, including closures that are evaluated lazily. If you dislike the duplication, create a syntactic form that allows less, like this:

(transaction-> db-name
(put! ...)
...)

This doesn't lend itself to every kind of action, but it is narrower. Alternately, create a variadic version of `put!` which guarantees eager evaluation inside of a transaction.

The nightmare scenario here is not that the sequence will lazily evaluate outside of `with-read-txn`, because that at least will throw an error. Rather, it's that it will be evaluated inside a different transaction, without anyone ever realizing it. By leaving that possibility open, you're doing a huge disservice to the users of your library.

This was my intro as well, and I've already recommended it to a number of people.

Malkiel believes in investing over gambling/speculating. That means trying to obtain market returns rather than trying to beat it, using very-low-cost funds like those offered by Vanguard. A great place to read more about this philosophy, when you finish Random Walk, is the Boglehead's forum.
But the Internet is a distributed, nominally-decentralized system that's built to be resilient. We've seen how difficult it is to cut off Internet access to even regions within dictatorial nation-states. Compare that to gold supply/trade.
I'd recommend this as well. It's obviously an old classic but I read it a few years ago and was pleasantly surprised how updated the author has kept it.
Let's be honest though: Google et al have set the standard and now it's every hardware developer's dream to create a platform that they can then use to extract 30% of all app sales on. As a heavy crowdfunder of hardware projects, it is a rare gem that isn't one of those awful closed platforms hoping to become a walled garden.
Another commenter articulated this, but my general style was single quotes on 'atoms' (e.g. mostly dictionary keys or set values), double quotes on anything intended to be read by a person. For that reason: to avoid \' all over.

Your example is already a solved problem with the theory of homesteading. Whoever homesteaded the property first has the right to enjoy their property in the manner they originally possessed it. In this case, the outdoor, heavy metal music would be a trespass upon adjacent properties (unless they received an easement). Conversely in homesteading theory, if the outdoor, late night heavy metal venue was there first, you could not move in adjacently and expect to shut them down for excessive noise.

Integration Testing with Golden Masters in Golang
Lest anyone dive into religious polarization around this, it's worth pointing out that such psychological doctrines have a long history, back through Norman Vincent Peale and Napoleon Hill to the New Thought movement of the late 19th-early 20th century [1] and a whole kaleidoscope of religious splinter groups. Many of these were Christian, but mostly marginally so; a famous example is [2]. Then there's the New Age wing to this (think The Secret) that goes back to the Theosophists and alchemical traditions. Then again there were more philosophical versions, like the Transcendentalists. You can find this type of thing in Emerson. The history and literature is rich. More recently it is beginning (as one would expect) to take scientific and quasi-scientific forms, including attempts to test it experimentally. Not clear yet what will come of those.

There's a lot of value in being able to hone in on the exact figure -- 31.8% based on your previous year's income and deductions -- giving you an extra 9.2% if you were conservative and putting aside 40%. I don't know if that's what this service can actually offer, just putting out there that it's more complicated than just setting aside a gross estimate like that.
You will never, ever beat the market by making smart trades.

Get real- you're a beginner reading investopedia. Active funds employ hundreds or thousands of people who work more than full-time to support an operation of systematically studying investment opportunities and exploiting inside information to beat the market, and even they don't beat the market.

Put your money in a diversified portfolio of index funds and leave it alone. Making targeted trades costs money and will do no better than index funds anyway.

I've been using Postagram (https://sincerely.com/postagram) for a few years to send a card to my grandmother regularly from my smartphone. The cards look great, cost $1, and have the image in a perforated square which can be punched out of the card, with the description on the back. They have a solid app with tracking and history. Hard to beat that, but maybe the feature that Simple Postcard has is fitting the image to a 4x6 area (full front of the card) rather than the smaller square (3x3", I think) on the Postagrams.
That makes me worried. RMBP 13" is pretty much perfect (maybe the resolution could be higher), so they can only fuck it up.

just curious, do you automatically send withholding to the IRS automatically? I guess you make money with the withholding money you take in every paycheck but only transmit at the end of a quarter?

I never thought about this. Does an employer do the same with W-2? Assuming you have 100 employees paid monthly and you withhold $1 for each employee per pay month... For example, if the pay for the month of January would send me back $100 which the employer gets to keep That $100 until the end of March? And same for the pay period of February? Is this illegal? I've read that you can't do that with payroll tax but is income tax treated differently?

Sorry if these are stupid questions. I don't have a background in accounting.
How to Vote Effectively for Housing in San Francisco
Excepting that in SF the "everyone" does not want the land owners to make productive use of it: they want the status quo. (Well, the status quo of what the remember as being the "high point".)

Having witnessed protests that occurred midway through the reconstruction of offramps, (meaning an existing ramp was torn down, and they were half done rebuilding it), it's not so much NIMBY, but NBAA: Never Build Anything, Anywhere.

The only way that higher taxes would be beneficial is if SF landowners were actually allowed the freedom to upgrade their properties. Zoning, especially height restrictions (40' max over most of SF), as well as endless red tape, make it really hard to make productive use of prime land. Regardless if it's the original owner or new buyer.

( A new buyer is granted some slight advantage, but not enough to be meaningful.)
