Basically, instead of just relying on batteries, consumers of power can often also shift when they are going to consume the power. Spot markets and future markets can help here.

We already see that in industrial applications, where you can get power very cheaply, if you can tolerate arbitrary power cuts during peak hours.
Huh? What does halting trading has to do with compromising decentralization? You do know what "decentralization" mean right?
I can only imagine what Samsung execs are saying to each other right now...
I admit I don't know enough about Democratic party rules to guess who would replace a busted Clinton candidacy. Common sense would dictate that a candidate who came close second would be chosen, but common sense doesn't necessarily apply here indeed.

As for Clinton being the next president, I'd be surprised if she were. Based among others on PG's "It's Charisma, stupid" [http://www.paulgraham.com/charisma.html], more recently Scott Adams' perspectives, US history, and the mounting anti-establishment sentiments empowered by Internet bypassing centralised media, I expect Trump to tune his public persona for a target wider than Tea Party voters, then to thoroughly beat her. It sounds very bold, until you remember that this country chose Bush Jr. against Kerry, who was vastly more likeable, competent, and seemingly honest than HRC.

I'm also doubtful about the public at large being influenced by a WL apparent origin: I'm afraid the general public hasn't yet learned to mind and evaluate sources. That's a digital native reflex, we're still a minority, and we're rather sympathetic towards WL.
I had the opportunity to study Coursera's ML course a couple of years back when I was in college and developed a deep passion for the area. I was out of touch with ML since 1.5 years and now coming back to it seems overwhelming. I mean there is so much more to learn. The gap between classic ML and Deep Learning is noticeably huge. This is due to the rapid development in the recent years. You won't get things like gradient clipping, learning decay, dropouts etc. in the coursera course. Moreover, new papers are released every other day and one needs to devote time to stay updated.

And when I think about people who are not familiar with even Machine Learning, then really need to buckle up and spend serious time to catch-up with the technology that's making history today.

But now is really a good time to start. There are only a bunch of people in the whole wide world who are masters of DL and anyone with skills in it is in high demand. And it's not just about a job, "it is really cool" to play with it. I really feel I'm doing something heavy.

Land taxes are even better for this. No need to penalize people for (housing) owning capital on top of the land.
Founders effectively have the same class of stock as employees when it comes to value, except for voting rights. Voting rights are usually sensitive, because the new normal is for founders to have a different class stock upon going public to preserve their ability to control the decision-making process, even in the face of an activist shareholder.

You actually want your founders to have these voting rights typically. Most activist shareholders tend to say things like "your business would be a lot more profitable without this expensive engineering team. You don't need A players to maintain the technology you've already built, you should fire most of your team and outsource them." Suddenly preserving founder control sounds a lot better, eh?
Seriously? I am opposed to climate change? Did you read my post? I never said I am opposed to progress on climate change or that it's not worth solving.

This is exactly the type of politics I dislike when it comes to climate change: I called into question some of the political aspects of climate change, and now I'm being cast out of as an infidel, non-believer, someone opposed to climate change progress, and being given a bunch of straw man arguments.

2. OK, but what are you really contributing here? I didn't specifically mention any other problems when I said other problems have more immediate or greater consequences, so when you say "that's not the case with other problems you mention." Well, nevermind. I assume you latched onto problems I later mentioned that are easier to make changes with in your community, like crime, homelessness, etc., and conflated that with the earlier argument I made.

Also, to address this idea about climate change being irreversible. That's a problem, because it may likely be very likely to be very difficult, but keep in mind: climate change has been happening for billions of years and carbon sequestration technology already exists. Atmospheric CO2 and temperatures already have been higher than they are now... The idea that it is irreversible is not scientific fact. Anyways, that discussion can easily serve as a straw man debate than really getting distracts from the message of what I was saying: It IS a worthy cause to fight against, I said that.
That may be true in the long term, but that may not be true for the first few attempts until they understand the sort of things that are stressed/weakened/generally affected by the first launch.
Why Is It Important to Break the Operational Silos?

At 3am when I should be sleeping. The internet is the invention of our lifetimes..its just amazing how just on the notion of sheer information - and education of us regular citizens, has totally been shaken.

Actually, I'd say the fact that he has to publicly ask for exchanges to stop the trades, and can't simply press a button or send out an order, shows the decentralization.

Decentralization doesn't prevent coordination.
Yes, these kinds of threads are almost always predictably terrible.
Well, that was kind of inevitable. Building a financial system out of pure code with no humans in the loop and no legal structure is building a self-distributing bug bounty piñata. It's decentralised, so there's nobody who can throw a breaker and shout "stop!"; cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible, so thefts are permanent; and it's somewhat anonymous, so thefts are hard to trace.

It also demonstrates that being first-to-market trumps security. If the DAO had waited until a full formal verification system exists and had been applied, they wouldn't have been able to pick up the $160m of overenthusiastic money keen to rush headlong into the hands of hackers.
I wrote a Chrome extension for synchronized reading and listening to webpages
In short, when I found a long article on the web, to avoid eyestrain, I used to download its text to my android and play it with TTS reader like Voice Aloud Reader or Easy TTS. I couldn't find any extension for Chrome or Firefox, which would allow easy navigation (e.g. rewind) and highlight currently played piece of text. So eventually I wrote my own:

Installation and usage are described in README.

Good question. maybe i don't know the answer. I've been impressed by the way that QML and C++ integrate. I write bits of UI glue JS in QML and these bits call into C++ "magically". I can pass data in and get data back.

This is a lot easier than my JNI battles with Android Java.

I tend to have a lot of backend C++, which performs all the heavy lifting of my apps. I like to make the front UI as thin as possible. QML lets me build things quite fast and i like the way that properties update themselves.

The only real complaint i have with QtQuick/QML is things not working properly on Android. But I'm hoping this situation will improve, and the main reason I'm looking into Controls.2

You say that jquery can call to C++. Where can i find out about this and how would this work on Android.
This is massive. I observe with great interest how it will be handled - Ethereum is still young enough that doing a hard fork can be the sensible choice, and people can agree to do so (since such a large portion of ETH is now owned by baddies).

It has been said before, but there ain't no drama like Blockchain drama. No TV show, no book, nothing has me following it's story as Bitcoin and the other blockchains that come after it. Greatest drama of the millennia, so far.

I'm not sure what do you mean by "automatically". Of course different EU countries have different rates, but some countries also have internally many different rates, and that depends on what is your product or who is your client (e.g. business vs governmental organisation vs private school vs institute for blind people could all have different rates for the same product). There is also a difference between 0 rate and exempt.

VAT is generally a huge pain in the ass if you don't have flat rates. This leads to absurds like coffee with milk has a different rate than milk with coffee. There are court cases in which they rule what kind of construction of a book shelf gets which VAT rate.

And it gives multiple opportunities for all sorts of abuses, including my favourite one: you open two companies, you sell same products internally with different VAT rates (like coffee+milk example), and the difference becomes your un-taxed profit. Perfectly legal.

This is why you have the Big Four consulting companies (I worked for one).

I find it truly amazing that a project with hundreds of millions of dollars at stake could have such a simple bug. After they discovered the first bug, it seems like they should have sat down to carefully audit all other places where that could happen - because it seems like the attackers certainly did!

From reading the article on Smart Contract security (https://blog.ethereum.org/2016/06/10/smart-contract-security...), I get the feeling that the programming model might be somewhat to blame. The "obvious" ways of implementing something are subtly broken, in ways that are very difficult to anticipate without a very deep understanding of the protocol. The programming model demands that the program be capable of calling functions that are not under the programmer's control, and which can do nearly anything. This is very, very difficult to get right, and very easy to screw up, as anyone who has tried to write a sandbox environment can attest to.

I'm not OP, but with my car? The battery dies every winter, then nothing works. (diesel with hand crank for the win!)

The break in alarm sometimes starts to blink the lights on its own. You have to do some "open the doors, lock the doors, open them again" sequence to fix it. It took me year to figure out what's wrong and how to do the right moves.

The radio doesn't work anymore, as there is some kind of superuser code that's required every time the battery dies.

The headlights have some computer control. They point to wrong altitude.

Mechanical problems happen too. But they often happen by wear. You get significant warning before it's completely kaput. And you can often guess what's wrong from the symptoms quite easily, because the erratic behavior is more consistent.
The irony of your post getting downvoted is delightful.
(I myself agree with you.)
And if it can't be stopped, the argument about decentralized apps being "unstoppable" won't be that appealing anymore after all :)

It's sad, being able to write blockchain apps like with ethereum and lisk is cool tech, but we'll have to deal with the idea that once is out, it's out. Programming NASA style.

Node has a cultural disliking for big standard libraries, preferring to delegate to the package manager instead. If anything the API might shrink further, not get added to.
You know, it just occurred to me: while Obama hasn't spent too much political capital on drugs, the US is closer to legalisation than it's ever been, to an extent unbelievable not that long ago. It could easily be that Obama has been quietly supporting legalisation, in politically-invisible ways (such as failing to respond in any meaningful way to the avalanch of state level legalisation).

Not if the satellite is much more expensive than the rocket. Using the GP's figures of $200mm and $60mm, that would mean paying $70mm in insurance instead of just waiting for the next $60mm flight.

Yea, not everyone has that luxury. If you said something along the lines of "I've been contacting my state representative to push for more reform, donating to 'X' to aid in public awareness, etc", I would have given you the pat on the back you so obviously crave. And what about recycling, or purchasing avenues which ensure re-population? Plenty we can all do other than the current popular hipster "in" thing.
Two things jumped out at me.

1) They planned to spend 1/3 of their remaining cash on flying people around the world to meet f2f. Whoah! They need a CFO with some real power, because that is absurd.

2) Speaking of needing a CFO, one of the first things a CFO will probably point out to them is that their cash target is off by 100%. They're targeting hitting 50% of today's ARR sometime next year, yet they plan to grow ARR in 12-18 months by double. If they truly want 50% ARR on hand, they need to target $10M, not $4-5M.

I also have some questions about the graph -- I'm sure it's well-meaning but it looks fishy. The slope of the curve is noticeably better in the go-forward plan vs the status-quo plan, but there's no logic to support that in the post. I imagine there's a breakdown that makes this make sense, but it's not at all obvious, and the naive conclusion is that these people who were fired were actually slowing down sales somehow. Secondly, every time I see a graph where the next month is negative and then ... magic... and the slope goes positive, my spidey sense tingles pretty damn hard. That said, there are some obvious reasons this might happen, including the cost of the layoff being recognized next month, so that's less of an obvious red flag.

And not only once -- the single event of her requesting a switch to the different show was repeatedly ridiculed, as if this was a completely outrageous suggestion. This would have been quite okay if she asked "could we watch Friends today instead" and the other team members looked at each other and simply responded "Eh, we'd all really like to watch this game".

I think you're missing the point. The fact that one man can bring the whole of Ethereum trading to a halt with an announcement really demonstrates just how much power he has. So it doesn't matter that he doesn't have a physical kill switch if the end result is the same.

Having some climate/AQ control systems does not make a setup advanced. I'm not claiming there is not a single illicit system that has some automated equipment in it, the gp's claim was that current greenhouse tech was developed in/for mj growing ops, which is preposterous.
This is unrelated, but I don't really get why one would want to watch TV with colleagues. It's not like you're productive when doing it. The requirement for the infamous "culture fit" is lower if you don't require that all coworkers are 100% socially compatible with each other. Then again, I'm from Europe.
> The reason being the current system requires endless growth (measured currently in GDP) in order sustain this many people with current standards of living.

I don't think we are anywhere near the growth limit on the planet. (Economic) Growth is mostly limited by energy use, and current tech can handle growth for about a century. Add technological evolution, and we're easily in the 500 years range of energy use increase.

By then, all bets are off. Heck, for the 100 year span all bets are off.

How does she know gender actually had anything to do with the difficulties she was/is experiencing? Sounds like the author may be what the book "Leadership & Self-Deception" terms as "being in the box", which is to say her own behavior/attitude is doing way more to manifest these scenarios, much more than anything her co-workers probably have done. Something about this article just seems off... 90% of it complaining about not getting to watch a certain TV show at work (could she not go to her own desk and watch whatever struck her fancy?), while the much clearer example of sexual harassment in the car is tacked on the end as little more than an afterthought...

Then again, she comes across as rather passive, so I wouldn't be surprised if she's also uncomfortable with confrontation, so maybe this is her way of passive aggressively sticking it to the person in the car story? Who knows..

My advice: find a female power executive to serve as a mentor / career coach for a few months. Ideally a real hard-ass that pulls no punches when it comes to getting shit done, knows her shit and gives zero fucks whether an employee is male, female, penguin, or alien provided the work is done right, done well, and delivered on-schedule and most importantly, has no qualms about laying down the wrath of god on any employees slacking off and/or delivering shit quality work.

Seeing someone like that in action up-close and personal, while also benefiting from their input and guidance on her own situations encountered would I think pay huge dividends toward future career growth and happiness.
I mean, they don't have to honor the request to do so.
