Why waste all this money and time designing something that is great the way it is? Give a cow some land, feed it some grass, wait a few months, kill the cow and now you have real beef. Nature intended it to be this way.

Actually clicking through the links on that page, I find that, where there are full text articles linked, they are sensationalist headlines backed by stories that entirely reflect that global cooling was not generally portrayed, even in the body of those popular media articles, as a likely outcome or scientific consensus, but as one potential outcome of pollution induced climate change. In fact, several of them expressly identify that even then there was a scientific consensus on CO2-driven warming being a current trend, but noting that then-less-understood effects of other pollution forms might, at high enough levels, reverse that and result in radical cooling, even to the extreme of a new ice age.

> I lived through the last round of this scare-mongering and remember it first hand.

I lived through the time period when the potential of global cooling was being discussed, too, and remember it first-hand. And I remember, despite being rather young, being quite aware that it was a fringe theory, not the scientific consensus, to present it as anything more than one of many possibilities emerging from a then-murky variety of climate evidence pointing in different directions (with warming being the current -- then as now -- secular trend, but some new and not yet well understood factors having been identified that could, in some models, lead to a radical reversal.)

Especially odd since it's a retina Macbook Pro, which has a single shared audio in/out jack, which means no use of headphone / external speaker either.
I think the remote wake is based on when the car is put into reverse, which would be challenging to tell from the phone. I imagine that only running the camera when the car is in reverse is a key part of keeping power consumption down in the frame.
Now that the paper has been posted, it does seem it's not just about power consumption but also parallelism. Although these factors were discussed in the conclusion with reference to their suggestion for future R&D with a hardware-based approach, the reality for implementors now is that commercial availability, cost and solution development time probably do heavily favour usible mobile GPUs. The biggest drawback in the paper seems to be that if the robot's physical configuration changes (for example, an arm is bent or it picks up a large object) the planning circuitry may no longer be accurate.

Finally, I couldn't help but think of this quote: Sin #3 - Picking the low-hanging fruit: It is unsurprising that it is easy to beat a general system by specializing it. Few researchers comment on the composability of their solutions. - Schwarzkopf et al, 'The seven deadly sins of cloud computing research' (2014) https://github.com/globalcitizen/taoup
In terms of control the contract can as centralized or as decentralized as you code it to be, with the difference that it runs on a truly decentralized platform.

It does goes both ways as well, if you can contact your provider to get your stolen domains back, then your local dictator can also take them away from you because of something you said.
This part I'm skeptical:

"Compared to CPU time, CPU instruction is a better metric,
as it reports the same numbers regardless of CPU models
and CPU loads for the same request."

CPU instructions will be more stable than CPU time for sure, and
it does show that their metric is stable based on their
chart but a single CPU instruction can take multiple cycles, especially
if there are stalls in the pipeline or other processes are "polluting"
the cache. Depending on the CPU model, the number of uops that can be issued
concurrently varies, and the latency of these instructions will also vary on
the size, and access pattern to their memory hierarchy.

Also, what about a change in compiler version? That can also vary the number
of instructions. Unless they are referring to a Python bytecode instruction
as a CPU instruction.

Would measuring CPI be a better indicative of their efficiency? They could
also track both, no need to settle for one.
MySQL had useable replication years beofre PG. Maybe that's why.
Wow I feel like the data in those maps may be REALLY suspect. It's entirely possible that it's just my area but the data for Southern Maine seems like it's impossible to be correct based on my knowledge and experience as a hiring manager in Southern Maine. For example if I'm reading the map data correctly it lists 144 developers in Southern Maine, I personally know more that that.
If this were the case we'd expect similar documents on HRC. So far, all we have are talking points meant to counter various negative stories and narratives about her. There is an asymmetry here in the docs on each candidate and potential candidate.

That isn't exactly a balanced approach to adversarial research (which, I agree, is not a poor idea in and of itself).

Given that trust is the single most critical aspect of the entire platform, why doesn't it use languages (for both the platform, and the contracts), programs in which can be easily formally verified, and for which tools for such verification already exists?

Probably, yes. They're buying SolarCity with Tesla stock and paying a 20% or so premium over current SC stock. But yeah, if your friends bought say when SC was 50% up, then now they'll have to wait/hope Tesla stock goes up.
it's probably because they still had oracle software and support contracts in place, and in-house knowledge of mysql.

You are mostly right, but

> There's no particular reason that segmented stacks (like old Go or old Rust had) couldn't be used in the kernel.

A very good reason is that Linux happens to be written in C, which just doesn't support this. So the patch you linked uses VM mappings instead.

> What is easier (as I advocated in another comment) is to keep the monolithic kernel model, but pretend that privsep within a single kernel doesn't happen, and run it all within VMs.

That's the exokernel model, with hypervisor being the kernel and Linux being a private "libOS" of your httpd or whatever.
> we suggest income doesn't have much effect on happiness after $40k, or $60k if you live somewhere expensive, and plus $20k if you have a child

Huh? Are you guys based in the United States? Did you pull that number out of your ass? Do you know the difference between "diminishing returns" and "doesn't have much effect"? In the vast majority of the United States where the median income is $40k and above, it won't actually be enough to meet what most people on HN would consider basic needs - housing, healthcare, food and some savings for retirement.

> First, save enough that you could live for 12+ months with no income.

An impossible task for the majority of Americans. Again, I'm not sure where you are based, so this is forgivable.

> Then save a decent fraction of your income to maintain this level of income in retirement

You're telling people who are earning $40k to save $6k and meet their living expenses on $34k. While that may be possible in some areas, these areas tend to be the ones where $40k jobs are at a premium and are not available for the majority of the people there. See my first comment.

> Always donate a small amount (say several percent) to keep in the habit of giving and learn more about charities.

Donating money while earning below median income nationwide is an advice so terribly inane, it doesn't warrant a response. You're always better spending that amount (minus the marginal tax rate) on yourself or your family, especially at the levels of income you're suggesting.

> After you're meeting your saving and consumption targets, you can donate most of the remainder.

Which for most Americans would be never. You have to step out of your bubble and look at some BLS numbers if you want to give economic advice.
My first impression was that this title must be exaggerated click-bait.

As an Indian and a vegetarian, I agree with both those assertions. Indian cuisine(s.. there are many regional cuisines) is full of naturally delicious vegetarian (and even vegan) dishes. But that also includes a lot of starchy and fried foods. But there's such an abundant diversity available that you can prepare lots of healthy, delicious menus with different set of constraints (high protein, low carb, low fat, high fat/protein etc.)
For those interested in the topic, we ran a related set of experiments recently [1], and cross-referenced npm packages with (a subset of) Javascript GitHub projects to see how packages and versions are used in practice.

>> "The BSD license allows the software to be made non-free."

Let's clarify: Technically, it allows the copy (distributed with the proprietary software) to become non-free, though the original and any other copies of the original are still free. Technically, BSD is more "free" than GPL to the first copier, even if not so to everyone else who obtains it from the first copier. The "subjective interpretation" then is from the point of view of the next guy in line.

One not-perfect trick: Stop retaining sensitive information. There is nothing in law that forces you to do retain things like IP addresses.

Then they can harass you for data all the time with illegal shit "court" orders and you can give them garbage and they can do nothing about it.

This is the best method I've seen for dealing with this problem on a budget. Unfortunately the tradeoff is losing a lot of not-especially-effective tools for dealing with spammers and the like.
They would need a football sized field of solar panels just to generate the methane to return, as well as a team of people to keep them clean and operating.

Somewhat off topic, could someone post a list or examples of non-trivial (or relatively, non-trivial) decidable languages that have implemented compilers/interpreters? I should say no requirement on supported hw architectures, nor currently active development/maintenance.
I used to work on program verification.[1] I've worked on automatic theorem proving. Formal verification is too much heavy machinery for this application. Here, you want something simple and understandable. Find the minimal solution which will handle the use cases listed and any likely ones I missed. That's probably enough.

With decision tables, you can run a case through them by hand quite easily. You can explain decision tables to lawyers and judges when necessary. You can distinguish between "contract did the wrong thing" and "underlying system executed the contract incorrectly." This is a big help when there's trouble.

After the Etherium/DAO debacle, the next attempt at this has to be simple and understandable. It would probably get more use, too.

I have never had a package break between dev and prod when using versions like ^x.x.x.

Also, you need to test and ideally stage before deployment.

If you don't want to deploy with `npm i` then just copy the files or compress and then copy that and uncompress.

Also the new flat modules reduce the total install time.

The author advocates copy-pasting code rather than including small modules. To me this is very misguided.

Npm is the greatest code-reuse system ever created. The failure of software engineers to recognize that is an indication to me of a lack of depth of engineering knowledge and experience.

Deploys may take a few minutes. You just need to factor that and don't switch off prod servers until updated ones are ready.

Maybe not electric rockets, but SpaceX could start shooting self-driving cars with robotic arms... into space... to manufacture giant solar panels to beam down energy 24/7 to replace all the nonrenewable baseload.

As for "send processes rather than messages", isn't that what objects are about?

No, it doesn't.

It allows non-free software being made incorporating the free software, but the free software remains free. It also allows free software with different terms than the original to be made also incorporating the free software which remains available under the original terms.

С++ is not exactly a comfortable language. While recent changes may be great, and there are quite nice libraries, the language still does little to prevent you from shooting yourself in the foot (and sometimes downright provokes it).

Other worthy contenders would be Haskell, OCaml, D, maybe even Elixir (unless they are CPU-heavy), though with these hiring becomes much harder than with Python or Java (and probably even C++).

Lactaid makes lactose-free versions of many dairy products that usually contain lactose, including ice cream. A special process isn't necessary for most cheeses since they naturally have very low levels of lactose due, since the lactose doesn't really get caught up in the coagulation.

I've never had coconut ice cream, but I've had soy ice cream on several occasions and I thought it wasn't bad. (Shout-out to Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream, a Wisconsin manufacturer who does a great job of accommodating a wide variety of dietary restrictions)

I'm sure your friend finds her brand of fake cheese palatable, but I seriously doubt it bears any resemblance to real cheese. One of my close friends was a vegetarian because she couldn't give up cheese, until the point where her conscience overwhelmed her and she became a total vegan. She's been looking for a vegan cheese for the past seven or eight years, and I've unfortunately shared in the experience. I'm comfortable with the claim that right now, vegan cheese is not a replacement for real cheese.

The problem with vegan cheese is that vegan foods are generally only convincing substitutes in a specific domain. Ice cream works because ice cream is always frozen. Nobody complains if your vegan ice cream doesn't look like ice cream when melted or boiling. On the other hand, the same cheese can be melted, broiled, burnt, shredded, or some combination of the 4 depending on the application. Plus, it has to taste like cheese too.

In some sense, it's a bit like vegan bacon, which generally just tastes a bit smokey, and I've never found any that has the crispy texture that melts in the mouth like real bacon. Fake cheese just has a really ... off texture, and it's flavor is one-dimensional.
