>Even now I know little about the company and my main thought is "some new company making electric cars that sound expensive, have unknown longevity, unknown reliability, and unknown depreciation, and will be hard to service."

It's not a new company. Tesla was founded 13 years ago. The same complaint can be made about new models of existing car comapnies. You didn't even attempt to research these things so of course they are unknown to you. That's a tautology. I don't know every car brand on the planet but I don't blame them for my own ignorance.

Most electric cars are rapidly depreciating in value. Usually they only sell for 20% of their original value after three years. Tesla cars usually keep 70% of their value. In 2013 you could even turn a profit by reselling a brand new tesla youbecause of their high demand but low supply. https://forums.teslamotors.com/forum/forums/remember-when-yo...

> this problem can be completely avoided if every method has no more than one external call and always puts it last.

Actually, it's a bit more nuanced than that. If you have methods that make external calls--even if it's the last thing they do--you still have to ensure that all your externally-callable methods do not share state with the methods that make external calls. Restricting where and how often you do your external calls isn't sufficient, since that last external call at the end of your method can turn around and call other methods in your contract (which can alter the contract's state, if you're not careful).

EDIT: clarification
Handling React Forms with Mobx Observables
Kind of, but it was clunkier. You could Break out of an executing program, edit the code you wanted, and then type CONT to continue execution from the break point. The state from that point forward might not be what you want, though. At least inside VS it tries to revert state so that the revision executes as if the state came into it "clean."

Note that the article itself says "either canceled or blocked from operating". You can't support politicking that locks nuclear plant development in endless NIMBY battles and then blame nuclear itself for it.
Um, you do realize that most nuts require in the same range of water, right?

Hazlenuts, walnuts, almonds, and cashews need from 1100 to 1900 gallons per pound.

So, I'm not quite sure what you are trying to prove other than don't farm things that require water in areas that also require irrigation.
I tried emacs Live and found it way to distracting to use for development work. It's like having an MTV video on your screen while you code.
The storage costs are the issue.

The grid cannot realistically be more than about 20-30% solar PV without matching storage.

Storage is expensive, like 20-30 cents/kWh expensive.

It's just not competitive with natural gas which is available for ~6 cents/kWh.
A World Without Uber: Dispatches from Austin
> I'm honestly not sure how 2 weeks notice is meaningfully different from no notice at all.

Agreed. 2 weeks feels like a number so small it effectively rounds to 0. I am actually unsure of the minimum notice period here (Australia) but I have typically given 1-3 months notice unless there was a very good reason why I needed to leave sooner.
What you're describing is only true of previous generation nuclear plants, where there was no need to implement load following.

There is nothing inherent in nuclear power that makes it impossible to throttle and indeed there are currently operating plants designed with load following capabilities:

I can't imagine a web without the safe-harbour provision, it it is a fundamental protection for services which would have no protection from trolling users.

Although, I'm interested to see what can be down to improve artist protections whilst retaining the intent of the original laws.
Agreed.

The OECD estimates that the probability of an accident at a Gen. II or higher reactor that results in significant casualties is approximately one per one million years.

All of the accidents in the history of nuclear power have caused fewer deaths than the failure of a single hydroelectric dam. Combined these disasters resulted in an estimated 60,000 deaths.

That number pales in comparison to the 288,000 people who die every year from particulate inhalation due to fossil fuels.
Leaves a few loopholes, but nothing anybody could exploit with anything they had at a typical restaurant. And easy to understand.
Yes, they will build toilets too. Just getting that out of the way.
The three points he listed are pretty obvious requirements if you want a long lived species. You don't need a large sample size to know that not killing yourself by failing at one of those three is important.
In particular, there's all sorts of mischief an attacker can do when serialized(A,B)==serialized(C,D) but A!=C and B!=D. I've seen OAuth implementations do this, allowing someone to submit the signature from a "good" message along with "bad" arguments (of their own choosing), with a very different meaning.

An impatient application developer might just use hash(concat(args)). Raw concatenation is serialization, but it's ambiguous: s("manage", "able") == s("man", "ageable"). The safest approach is to ensure that the serialization function is reversible (even though you're just going to throw it into a hash, which is obviously not). When your arguments are arbitrary bytes, you either use a delimiter character (and escape any places where it appears naturally), or prefix each string with (a fixed-length representation of) its length. Either way, if you could conceivably parse the serialized form back into the original arguments, then you're safe from tricky format-confusion attacks.
> I'm not worried about vast amounts of people no longer paying their electric bill

No one was worried about vast amounts of people no longer paying their subprime mortgages either. Not saying your investment strategy is wrong, but "predictions are difficult, especially about the future".
Some more detail about the payloads:

http://spaceflightnow.com/2016/06/22/pslv-c34/

This launch includes 12 Earth imaging satellites from Planet (https://www.planet.com/pulse/flock-2p-launches-successfully-...) and a second generation satellite from Google's Terra Bella.
Storage is not 20-30 cents/kWh. Storage alone, provided by Solar City in Hawaii, is 14.5 cents/kWh as of this year [1]. These costs will only continue to decline [2].

The price of natural gas will increase again [3] (and currently, its closer to 7-10 cents/kWh, not 6); when that does, it only makes renewables more competitive. Renewables will never get more expensive than they are today; coal will be gone in the next 3-5 years, and natural gas not far behind.

Subtly equating abusive behavior with people that are energetic and ambitious is clearly baked into the nature of this conversation and that particular facet is quite controversial to me, and to a lot of people here that are likely as concerned about abusive behavior as I am.

We don't need to institutionally get rid of "rock stars". Their ambition for attention and fame is a recipe for a lot of great things. What I think we really need here is to get better at not enabling them to be abusive, and for calling them out when they are.

I also do think we need to get better at choosing who our rock stars are, an opinion I got a long time ago from watching Limp Bizkit win a music award.
This specific reactor has some very significant earthquake risks. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diablo_Canyon_earthquake_vulne... for an introduction.

Regardless of what you think of the industry of nuclear power, this specific reactor, at Diablo Canyon, is precarious and dangerous.
We have cities and garbage dumps that are full of steel, aluminium and plastic that are unlikely to be wiped out completely in any catastrophic event caused by humans. The only true problem is energy, I think. I wonder how far you could get with only biomass as a starter fuel for civilization.
I absolutely want to love Spacemacs, it's beautiful, highly functional and relatively easy to transition to as a Vim user.

Every time I try it though I just can't get indentation detection to work at all. For the amount of functionality built in I'd really expect that to be built in or easy to configure. Having Emacs control indentation with the TAB key drives me insane too, I'd just like to control it myself.

For developers who work over a range of different projects with different indentation styles, that sort of functionality is essential. dtrt-indent seems like it should solve the detection issue but I've had very little success getting it to reliably work.

In the UK it's usually only after 2 years at a company can you go to an employment tribunal for unfair dismissal. (You can go to a tribunal however claiming discriminatory dismissal/whistleblowing/H&S (and a few more categories) under 2 years.). AFAIK there is nothing special about 1 year (and probationary periods ending are merely contractual. What usually changes is benefit entitlement, notice periods etc)

Also, tribunal fees are also quite expensive: £390 for unpaid wages, £1,200 for unfair dismissal.

Further, employers can just make you quit through a series of changes in your job. Constructive dismissal I imagine is quite difficult for the employee to prove.

Thank you for the amazing project!
Considering how much code and data was interacting with Oracle, one of our objectives was to disintegrate our giant Oracle based solution into a services based architecture. Some of our APIs needed to be multi-region and highly available. So we decided to split our data into multiple data stores. Subscriber data was migrated to Cassandra data store. Our payment processing integration needed ACID transaction. Hence all relevant data was migrated to MYSQL.

Considering that Cassandra is not ACID compliant with her "eventual consistency", and that MySQL is notorious for corrupting data and not functioning correctly, I am compelled to wonder just what kind of people work at Netflix. And who gets the idea to go to AWS and pay the full virtualization on Linux performance penalty?

Now, I've done Oracle engineering at some very large databases (hundreds of millions of rows, OLTP and DWH), and I know that Oracle is a smoking fast database when the right people develop on it. Also makes me wonder what kind of code they had running, and what kind of people selected it, when they managed to gum up what is essentially the Bugatti Veyron of databases.

Given this information from "Netflix" I won't be considering them as a potential employer any time soon. It has to be a mess over there.
A Phd from Trump University? :-) Seriously though, I don't (and did not) make that claim. I merely state my observation that as technology has advanced it has created opportunities for species annihilation that are both "controlled" by our species and do not exist for nominally 'unintelligent' species.[1]

That said, I'd be interested to understand how you reason from "the 20th century's teachings" to "absolute dictatorship of a genocidal bent". I would also like to understand the characterization of 'non-evidence based wishful thinking'. Happy to walk through the reasoning behind global thermonuclear war resulting in extinction, and sudden massive climate change resulting in the same. Similarly the reasoning for an individually created pandemic can be traced back to the general availability of DNA printers[2] and the ever increasing understanding of genetics and how one might use viruses modify the genetics of living humans [3].

I would hope not. But, based on your work and other comments here, I think we'd agree that our collective sights have been set lower for no good reason. If the goals of the past cannot be fully realized, what hope can we have for those of today and tomorrow?

Concretely, I follow existing languages like Agda, Lean, Haskell, and Rust for pushing the envelope on language semantics, compiler ingenuity, and library abstractions; and http://unisonweb.org/ and http://www.lamdu.org/ for pushing the envelope on the programming workflow itself. While I don't believe editors and languages are orthogonal problems, I do believe there is enough independence to make pursuing these fronts separately in parallel worthwhile.

[Of all of those, http://unisonweb.org/ might especially fit your interests, if I understand them correctly.]
I really don't think it is a good point of discussion in this context. The scientists who are working on these rocket launch missions are not in charge of administration of the towns and villages where the toilets need to be built.
Wrong context?
Because many don't know any better and are stuck in 70's parser tools mindset.

Tools like ANTLR[0], SableCC[1], JavaCC[2], MPS[5] and approaches like Attribute Grammars[3], Parsing expression grammars[4] are much more suitable for the modern days.

I don't know gprolog, but SWI has GUI tooling, compilation and I was already using it in 1997, so it is very sound toolchain.

You're dismissing the paper for not asking the right questions, but you don't propose any questions that you think are better.

> The hard part is actually figuring out what you care about, particularly in the context of a truly universal optimizer that can decide to trade off anything in the pursuit of its objectives.

This seems basically equivalent to what they are saying. A reward function that rewards "what we actually care about." This might seem vague, but that's fine because these are only proposed problems.
Yeah, a totally irrelevant comment.

Preferred installation is just cloning it yourself.

Besides launching satellites is a very profitable business for India. So why not?
While I used to like debuggers, recently I've found them to be a giant pain.

First, process boundaries. If you're using a complicated stack, it's likely that you'll need to set up multiple debuggers for different processes and switch between them.

Second, languages. If you're using different languages, or a combination of languages, debuggers can be very painful. Each usually has a settings overhead per project for finding source code files, etc.

Some bugs just don't reproduce in debuggers, anything with multithreading or timing is instantly troublesome.

Also, in production, you rarely have the option of a hooking up a debugger to a live service. By not relying on the debugger up to this point, you hopefully have a robust logging system that can be configured to give you the detail you want at the time. The messages will hopefully be informed by previous debugging sessions, and help get you to your solution more quickly.
Exactly. There more we move away from "0° warming" the more likely we are to encounter some nonlinearity that our current models completely miss.
You are mistaking an AGI for an artificial superintelligence (I might also add that the very concept of superintelligence is pure speculation - basic AGI at least can be grounded in replication of human brains). The first AGI will be closer to a low-IQ human than a Machiavellian super-optimizer.
Growing your own produce is a net negative 'investment', even when you don't factor in the labor cost. On-premises solar starts making money after a few years (or today, depending on circumstances - I took out a subsidized loan to finance them, so no initial outlay, and had lower costs the day they were installed); centralized solar might make (a few percent) more but you can't leverage, you don't have control over anything (CEO 200% salary hike? 'sure', says the board, 'we're paying a 10% dividend aren't we? That's huge by industry standards!'), and you run the risk of losing everything (whereas solar panels are on your roof and unlikely to be a total loss).

So very different risk profiles, hence very different risk/reward trade-offs.
the point being relevant to the news about the satellites how?
people bringing up problems with developing countries infrastructure/politics in threads about their achievements has nothing to do with the achievements and everything to do with that pervasive feeling of us vs them

The calculations regarding the relative feasibility of energy sources include the decline in expense. Assuming molten salt energy storage progresses, storage costs decline steeply. Even including these (very optimistic) projected price declines, solar and wind energy are not enough.

Hence why the very same leading climate scientists who first alerted the world of global warming wrote a detailed public statement pleading for use of nuclear power, and stating that renewables are insufficient to stop climate change.

To believe that all four of them, PhDs hailing from some of the most prestigious institutions in the country with decades of experience, failed to include projected price declines is simply incorrect.
