> Also I dont think there are too many people in USA spending tens of thousands of dollars in electricity bill.

They do spend that much, the average in the US is $115 a month, and the spread is lowish, ranging from $90 to $130 a month between states, and up to $150 in outliers like Alaska. Or in other words, a US average of nearly $1.4k a year.

A 10 year horizon puts total electricity expenses at $14k, a 30y horizon you mentioned puts it past $40k.

However, those are not savings like the guy implied that you replied to. Solar today tends to lower your bill by maybe 5-10% on average over large amounts of customers tops. So savings would be a few thousand bucks, not tens of thousands.

More importantly, that's a rate for today, and it remains to be seen how that will develop into the future.

The big untold truth for customers is that there's a high probability that electricity prices will come down sharply. Renewable energy resource price points are dropping fast, both on the hardware side, the soft-market side, and spurred on by subsidies. We've already seen crazy low record rates, like the latest PPA (power purchase agreement) was as low as 3 cents. PPA's set electricity prices for contracts that last well into the future, so they're essentially the industry's prediction for where the market will go. (i.e. a 20 year contract at 3 cents per kwh might look silly when the price is 5c today, but it implies industry experts expect the price to drop such, perhaps to 2 cents near the end, that the average cost level over 20 years will drop below 3c.)

Those PPAs will spread and start to affect electricity prices, 3 cents already undercuts wholesale prices of most coal, gas and nuclear capacity for example. And those wholesale prices will push down retail prices, too, such that existing solar installations on average over 20 years may actually turn out to be more expensive than the market rate, i.e. no savings at all, because their financing assumes rates to stay stable, or drop less than they likely will as far as I can see.
I'm still a huge fan of solar and urge anyone to consider it, but as an investment as a consumer I think it's financial benefits are oversold.
Thanks.

12 factor apps are important
"The fundamental theorem of arithmetic can be approximately interpreted 3 * 5 * 13 and 3 * 13 * 5" - this is false. The fundamental theorem of arithmetic "can be more approximately interpreted as " 195 has one prime factorization and it only includes one 3, one 5, and one 13 and no other primes. Once we find one prime factorization we want to prove that 195 does not have a prime factorization that includes another 11 or other prime.

This is my intuition as well, because at a distance r around the source you have a sphere, and the area of the sphere will relate to the radius r as r^-2.

That said, the equation linked in the comment does indeed contain an r^-3 factor. I don't know if it's cancelled out by something else – my physics game isn't strong enough.
I don't know how course numbering works there but a course with a 122 number here would be a first-year, non-gen-ed class. If you look at the syllabus, most of the material is pretty basic so I'd also question the idea that it's an advanced course.
These days, you only need to use 3 of those operators: := for assignment, += for adding one item, and ++= for adding multiple. := is a bit weird since you can't override `=`, but the other two are exactly the same as you'd use with the standard collections library.
Absolutely not! There is no safe amount of lead!

I'm not sure we'll get much meaningful discussion here. It's like having a debate of Trump vs Hilary vs Bernie.
It doesn't say that. What it says is:

The fundamental theorem of arithmetic states that
every positive integer can be factorized in one
way as a product of prime numbers. This statement
has to be appropriately interpreted: we count the
factorizations 3x5x13 and 13x3x5 as the same, for
instance.

That's not the same thing at all.

What Does Your Employee Really Think About You? A Manual for a Boss
I think that Norvig hits the nail on the head near the beginning of his piece:

"I believe that Chomsky has no objection to this kind of statistical model [the Newtonian model of gravitational attraction]. Rather, he seems to reserve his criticism for statistical models like Shannon's that have quadrillions of parameters, not just one or two."

This is no more than an objection to problems of fitting your chosen model to data. If you only have a small number of free parameters, then you can fit your model with a reasonable amount of data. If you have a large number of parameters then you have to introduce some extra assumptions, as Norvig (of course) acknowledges slightly earlier (described as "smoothing", in context):

"For example, a decade before Chomsky, Claude Shannon proposed probabilistic models of communication based on Markov chains of words. If you have a vocabulary of 100,000 words and a second-order Markov model in which the probability of a word depends on the previous two words, then you need a quadrillion (10^15) probability values to specify the model. The only feasible way to learn these 10^15 values is to gather statistics from data and introduce some smoothing method for the many cases where there is no data."

Thus, although both models are statistical, it is much easier to have confidence in Newton's law of gravitation than it is in a Markov model of some communication channel, because the data tell a clear picture. The imprecision of Newton's law in certain parts of the problem space (unobserved during his time) is a moot point - any such objections apply equally well to models with many parameters, and then you _still_ have to accept that you have made extra assumptions "outside" the scope of your model.

If you can explore your entire problem space, then you can build a complete "model". If not, then having more parameters than data _requires_ additional assumptions. Chomsky's point stands.
Non-EU Norway and Switzerland are at the top of nearly every measure in Europe: standard of living, equality, economy, green issues, credit rating, social progress, democracy, lack of poverty, lack of corruption.

Greece has been jailed BY the bankers - and will now be in debt bondage for decades, and has seen a resurgence of Fascism. Children are digging through rubbish for something to eat.

I know there is a push to change EU regulations to allow longer "best before" dates on foods we know keep "indefinitely" like honey or canned goods, or to allow businesses to sell these past the "best before" date. But the food industry is obviously opposed to such change, and it's easy for them to pull the "we care about customer safety" card.

This is slightly paranoid speculation, but consider the following scenario: The US have realized that Assange is not coming out as long as the risk of arrest and extradition looms over his head.

So Sweden now does the interview so they can drop the case without losing too much face.

Assange goes free, and the US look for another way to snatch him or have him arrested by some allied state. (I am not even sure they would necessarily want to have him extradited - if he got convicted of rape in Sweden and went to prison for a couple of years[1], they might find that an acceptable outcome.)

[1] I have no clue what kind of prison time he would face. My gut feeling says 5-10 years, but my gut is not a lawyer and only has a very superficial knowledge of the Swedish criminal law.

How about UK businesses which DO NOT export and have to compete with low cost european countries instead?

Is this also "great for the UK?"
There's zero substance in the article. They use scary words like "massively", phrases like "more trade", "more jobs", but don't say specifically how many and why.

I've listened to the arguments from both sides, and the proponents of Brexit tend to give more specific reasons, while the opponent's seem to be stuck in the scare tactics and propaganda, like this article.

Take changing the terms of trade, for instance. They make it sound like the end of the world. In reality terms of trade change all the time - new laws, new agreements (TTPP recently, for example).

A witty saying proves nothing. See my reply to the other comment.
It really isn't obvious (I promise!), and Gowers's Answer 4 is "the real reason" for a mathematician. Alternatively viewed, it is not obvious that Euclidean domains are unique factorisation domains. (Though it is obvious that EDs are principal ideal domains, so the alternative view becomes "it is not obvious that PIDs are UFDs".)
He probably did. But for a programmer, ASCII is already something we're very familiar with, so why not use that?
Let me elaborate. It is easy easy easy to nitpick and find holes in someone's proposals, someone's problem statements, and someone's goals in life.

Statements are adding noise and less than nothing of value if they just consist of telling people they are working on the wrong thing... and not proceeding to tell them what they should instead be working on, and giving clear positive reasons why (instead of negative reasons someone should not be working on something).

Incidentally this is a broader problem with HN discourse.

I do think the EU handled Greek crisis pretty poorly, however but I think you're way overblowing the rest of the stuff you said.
Norway and Switzerland have both signed up to free movement of people in order to access the single market. If the UK votes to leave I think that, given the nature of the campaign, that has to be considered a vote against free movement of people, which almost certainly will leave it outside the single market, which is a very different place.
Firstly Norway, Switzerland and Iceland are in the EEA so they do have many things associated with EU membership.

Greece has the Euro hence its troubles. I totally agree the eurozone is a terrible mess and should be dismantled.

So the UK leaving the EU (and the EEA) will cause damage. Your descriptions of the EU are misleading.
That's the idea. You don't.

Either you generate the key some other way and write it into the device (but it cannot be read again), and backup the original; or you generate it on the device and do NOT back it up - instead you make a back-up key, and authorize both keys rather than just one.

But what is the causality here? Maybe they didn't want to become a member because they were at the top to begin with.

That doesn't say anything about benefits of membership for other countries. It's even possible that membership would be beneficial for Norway and Switzerland, people just don't want to take unnecessary risk.

OK, but that's not the same thing as AEB "not working without Autopilot". AEB will still activate in manual driving, it's just that you can, apparently, override it by pressing the brake pedal.

(I'm not sure why Tesla would design it that way. While there's certainly an argument for autopilot's steering and acceleration to always be overridable, I don't see a reason why emergency braking shouldn't always be active if it means the car will avoid a collision - even if the driver is fighting against it!)

Yes and no. You can't compare Britain with Greece.
Britain is gaining from the EU while Greece is not.

Greece became part of Euro, and Euro being an expensive currency for Greece and its needs lead Greece into chaos.

Britain is not a part of Euro and will never exchange £ for it.

As for Norway and Switzerland, well Switzerland's economy was always good, too much money being laundered there.
Norway and the other Scandi countries do have a better way of living, in EU or not.

So I do get your point, and its fair to an extend but you can't compare oranges and apples.

I personally believe (have the right to vote in the UK) that Britain is gaining much more from being a member of the EU than losing. Same goes for countries like Germany. Now could you even imagine Germany getting out of the EU... Germany profited by the EU (same as the UK since London became the hub of finance between EU and the world).
