http://www.spiegel.de/international/business/disastrous-publ...

Most of these desasters are caused by underbidding and then the company buys in personal that isn't trained for the job. The company fails, the prise rises (mostly higher than other offers) actually this gives a bad reputation to the building industry.
Also in germany many more projects failed, and the politcs removed a lot of stuff that untrained people could raise a building company. like the "master"-title need that was completly removed (in most handcraft work) and the quality suffered.

another reason why quality suffers is also of course that there are more materials and the stuff gets more complex due to more safety restrictions, this also means that its no longer possible that a single person could understand the process as a whole. you often also see that in minor vehicle repair shop even the one's from the car vendor, most of the time the bigger problems can't be solved by them and the car needs directly go back to the vendor company. this wasn't true a while ago, so the reasons why quality suffered are mostly:

- complexity

- less trained people

- less trained supervisory

- rush for the smallest possible price

Germany and public projects are a extreme example if all 4 things of the above are true.
P.S.: These things do happen for technology projects, too in germany.
Adobe AIR - much as people like to hate on flash, Adobe AIR kicks ass as a cross platform UI. It has years of use and abuse.

Its one downside is if you need really low level hardware interaction with OS you have to use an ANE library which are sometimes great, and sometimes sketchy.

No - the songs a very close.

Similar beats, genre, production values, upbeat, bubblegum themes, and then you have the 3-5 whooping by a 'chorus of teens' or whatever.

It's very, very similar. It's a thing. And it's sad.
Now I barely know much about this, but I recall reading something that the space debris isn't actually that big of a deal. Since most satellites go in one direction (with the exception of israel, which has to launch retrograde orbits for political reasons), the actual speed delta between any 2 objects which are close to each other is fairly small. You really only need a bit of forethought about how to safely "deorbit" your crafts, and some working together to avoid trying to put 2 things in the same spot.

Combine that with the fact that space is still REALLY big (the surface area of any single orbit is still larger than the surface area of the earth), means that it's not as much of a problem as I thought it would be.

I don't mean to downplay it, it's still rocket science after all, but I think the worry of a massive wall of debris which makes it impossible for any craft to get past is closer to science fiction than it is to real life.
I am no economist (I am pretty sure this a well studied and documented field), but as some one who has lived in both developed and developing countries, I imagine it is because people from third-world country accept much a lower standard of living than a person in the first-world country. This is pretty much reflected in every aspect of life to the littlest detail. Everything from quality and size of accomodation, to the vehicle you drive, the quality of food, roads, toilets, water, etc. A shop or an office or home, might be more shabby in a poor country than in a rich country. Even if functionally they may be the same, a higher level of expectation is there in a rich country.

All this costs money, and it all adds up. Once the average Chinese citizen demands to have the same standard of living as his/her counterpart in the west, the price advantage will disappear.
I am very sensitive to caffeine (at least relative to my peers it seems). I usually drink 1 cup of coffee to wake up. This cup gives me an instant boost from groggy/sleepy to razor sharp.

Sometimes I have another cup somewhere in the day but I really need to stop drinking coffee by around 3 pm. It baffles me that some of my peers tell stories of drinking coffee at 11pm and then being able to fall asleep. If I drink coffee after 3pm and I try to sleep my brain just doesn't stop. It keeps turning and turning and before you know it it's 5 in the morning and I haven't slept.

Are there any other who experience this kind of sensitivity to caffeine?

I have to say, it doesnt feel like I am addicted. I quit (with ease) on vacation in China for 3 months and I noticed no real withdrawal symptoms and was able to function throughout the day but coffee does help to wake me up quicker.

Multi-user option, at $5 a month.
You're really reaching for something to complain about. Why?
It is a work in progress. I needed good transactional database in order to handle multiply connections simultaneously and SQLite fit this goal pretty well. But later if I find (or write) assembly language database, I always can change it. Combined with good assembly written web server (already available: https://2ton.com.au/rwasa/) and assembly written OS (like MenuetOS or KolibriOS) we will have the full stack for assembly language based web hosting. :)

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Angular 2 yet. It's new, so don't expect tons of support. Nonetheless, it's there as an option!
I think this is disingenuous because only a month ago Kyle from AgileBits was saying that you are considering getting rid of the standalone option, if customers vote with their wallet and I quote:

> "we don't have any immediate plans to remove the standalone products. However, if a vast majority of our users switch to 1Password Family or 1Password Teams (and as of today, an Individual plan!) then it doesn't make a ton of sense to keep the standalone product around. So, it's probably one of those speak with your wallet kind of scenarios."

Source: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12173892

You also got rid of the Mac-only licensing option after introducing 1Password for Families. Unless I don't remember correctly, it was about $20 cheaper than the option that also gives you that old and unmaintained Windows client.

I mean, if it's a contest between the standalone version and subscriptions, it sure looks like the game isn't fair.
Redux isn't complicated, it is the ecosystem around it which can be overwhelming or partly overengineered.

When you get started with React, you should use setState. You should use it until you get the feeling you really need a state management library to deal with most of the setState implementations. That removes the urge to learn another library next to React in the beginning.

Afterwards I agree: MobX is easier at the start, because it can be used similar like setState https://medium.com/@mweststrate/3-reasons-why-i-stopped-usin...

But at some point the developer team might decide to use MobX' useStrict to have more explicit actions and more predictable state changes. It removes the feeling of having two-way data binding and after all goes in the direction of the Redux constraints.

Seems like a great expert to give an opinion for such an article. Shame on you NYTimes.
I think Platos/Socrates point holds still. You can read exactly how to build a house having never built one and "know" how to build a house. There is a vast difference between that and actually whats learned while building a house.

I have learned a lot by reading but it always pales to what I learned from doing.

I would trust the person more who built ten houses compared to a person who read every word written about building them but never built one.

It's the French touche.
For a guy with a finance and private equity background I expect him to confront the economic realities concerning fossil fuels. Historically, they have offered great returns on investment. This is not a defense of fossil fuels. It just seems silly to tell someone to stop doing something that makes them significant sums of money, is integrated into every level of society, and while it may have a negative connotation, is generally accepted - with few immediate answers.

Strategically, wouldn't it make more sense and perhaps be more productive to devote resources to championing efforts like those of Elon Musk in Tesla and Solar City? These are practical, immediate responses to effect the concerns he is raising.

Maybe he is just a trust fund baby that would rather be the grand marshall for the environmental parade. By the way, I'd like to think I am marching in that environmental parade.

Something doesn't add up when someone with his financial resources goes on parade, inflates his own ego, and adds to the divisiveness, rather than pursuing practical solutions to the problems they are barking about. I will acknowledge that popular awareness is part of the equation to effect climate change and better environmental stewardship on a global level. However, I think real world, commercially viable alternatives is the best way make it relatable and sustainable.
Source for battery maintence?

Tesla has been out many years now and their battery degradation has been beating expectations so far. The 100k mi taxi that was posted a few weeks ago was only showing ~2% loss and I think he had the car for quite a few years.

I think it's been shown that with proper thermal management battery degradation is not a major factor.
There are many services for HTTP protection, but when you have a custom protocol for a RT service like a game, you are kind of screwed. It's even worst if your game is UDP based.

I used to get attacked huge a load of corrupt UDP packets for a few seconds and that used to hang the main server, wich in 1 or 2 minutes disconnected all my players.

Solution: separate your UDP services from your TCP services in separate applications and servers, also use different type of protection services for each.

The attack still hanged the UDP services, so I started thinking about making a plugin for snort to analyse the traffic and only allow legit protocol packets. I haven't done any of this last idea because the attackers stopped since they noticed that no one was being disconnected.

BTW, for TCP and HTTP I just used any tiny service that protects me from SYN Flood, like Voxility resellers.
I have quit and resumed coffee many times over the past decade, and abstained from caffeine during breaks for a month or more.

Migraines are a thing. Lasting up to a full day, but rarely longer.

Beyond that, quitting caffeine is unremarkable. The worst part about it, is trying to find other low calorie beverages that aren't water, and have no aspartame or sacharine, since I find all artificial sweeteners (including the new-school "natural" variety) as disgusting contaminants.

Getting back on coffee after a break is fun. Caffeine is always better after a tolerance break.

Tolerance, after which caffeine becomes the new, ineffective normal, creeps in at month number 2 or 3 of constant use. I've dosed on uninterrupted supplies off caffeine for blocks as long as 18 months. A solid gram of caffeine a day is probably not the best thing, but not debilitating or deleterious as far as I can tell.

I try to not drink caffeine, when incensed as a crutch for obligations at work. Then we're talking dependence and prostitution, of a sort, know what I mean?
Amazon and people who have been hit by this seem to disagree with you:

"Pricing is per instance-hour consumed for each instance, from the time an instance is launched until it is terminated or stopped. Each partial instance-hour consumed will be billed as a full hour."

https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/

"You are billed for an EC2 instance-hour for each hour or partial hour (rounded up) that your instance is in the “running” state. Instances that are in any other state (“stopped”, “pending”, etc.) are not billed."

https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/ec2-i...

Here's a company that got hit hard by that behavior :

"A little-discussed fact about AWS EC2 pricing is that users are billed for each server that runs for any partial hour it runs. That means if a user starts a server and then kills it within five minutes, he is still billed for the full hour. That seems acceptable, but if a user kills a server and replaces it with a new server of the exact same type and location, this move doubles the bill."

You should probably take a look at this, you are probably costing your company a lot of money.
> This situation, commonly known as a monopoly, cannot be reversed by free market

Actually, it can. Android and iOS are killing Windows as mobile is taking over the world and is now the #1 computer people use. Chrome dominates IE and MacOS is devs preferred OS when it used to be Windows. I think the free market is doing its job here. As for Google, they are still doing an amazing job with Search, if they start slacking and stop innovating, then this will create incentives for competition not to mention Apple who is trying to remove Google from the Search experience altogether. Same thing for Facebook.

The only real monopolies are the one maintained by the use of force by governments where competition can not flourish simply because the government makes it illegal to do so (taxi vs uber, hotels vs airbnb etc). Apple, Microsoft, Google and Facebook don't force you to use their services at gun point, which is why people are free to leave when better alternatives come, and they always do. Unless they make use of government force to prevent competitors from doing so (taxis vs uber etc).

Have to give to the government for doing an amazing job at making people believe they are defending you from monopolies when they are in reality monopolies biggest backers.
>What do you do when you're waiting for your gas to fill up?

Many gas stations around me don't allow you to walk away from the pump, they have removed the locking latch on the handle that lets you do that. If there ever is a latch, I use that time to wash the windows.

> I often wonder what level of exposure you need to become addicted, and how much is controlled by individual variability.

The half-life of caffeine definitely has a lot of individual variability (3-7 hours is apparently the reference range, but I think the overall observed range is wider with e.g. other drugs or liver dysfunction). I'm not sure whether a longer or shorter half-life would be more conducive to addiction.
With the Russian situation being so dire, is it so hard for Western counterpropaganda to beat that?

Talk like this makes me ashamed of my country. I'm not particularly patriotic in the first place, but at least when the Paris attacks happened and one of Hollande's first reactions was to say immigration policies would not change, I was proud. When muslims, atheists and christians stood together after the attacks, I was proud. Seeing this demoralizes me.

I'm an agnostic. You talk about how "backwards" various things are. You talk about freedom. Yet you are the one imposing dress code.

To make a parallel to the world of tech, it's a lot like those "cool startups" where "we don't make you wear a suit & tie", but if you show up without jeans people look down on you.

Let people dress however the hell they want already. I don't care if you're wearing a cross necklace and I certainly don't care if you're wearing a giant shirt & cap with a picture of jesus and "I LOVE JESUS" written on the back. And you comparing a traditional clothing to a crusader's robe "that killed hundreds of thousands" is... honestly the most repulsive thing I've read on HN this month.

Our women are free, yes. They're free to dress however they want. And if they want to cover themselves head to toe, they're free to do so. Muslim women are especially modest, and see their hair as private. Some women see their legs as private - we're not banning stockings.

You don't get to talk about freedom any more than americans do when they parade around bombing countries to "export their freedom", as you so nicely put it.
The 70,000 miles figure itself is already wildly pessimistic. Electric vehicles have already been on the roads for enough time for some of them to get well past 70K miles driven, and the potential worries over battery packs degrading simply hasn't come to fruition.

What neighborhood? I remember looking at quite a few studio(-plus) apartments in ... let's call it "difficult" areas about a year ago. None of them were under $2800/month. The bit in the article about timing resonated most with me. We ended up finding a place because I responded to a listing ~4min after it went up.
> I wonder if they would have met this resistance if they had started as SaaS from day one.

Day one for Agile Bits was in 2006, and a SaaS model just wouldn't have worked at that time. People would've just laughed at "renting software for a personal computer" (Mac OS X).
We need to divide DDoS here in two categories:

-DDoS you can handle (small ones). That anything up to 1 or 2Gbps or 1m packets per second.

-DDoS you can not handle. Anything higher than that.

For the smaller DDoS attacks, you can handle it by adding more servers and using a load balancer (eg. ELB) in front of your site. Both Linode and DigitalOcean will null route your IP address if the attack goes above 100-200Mbps, which is very annoying. Amazon and Google will let you handle on your own (and charge you for it), but you will need quite a few instances to keep up with it.

For anything bigger than that, you have to use a DDoS mitigation service. Even bigger companies do not have 30-40Gbps+ capacity extra hanging around just in case.

I have used and engaged with multiple DDoS mitigation companies and the ones that are affordable and good enough for HTTP (or HTTPS) protection are CloudFlare, Sucuri.net and Incapsula.

-CloudFlare: Is the most popular one and works well for everything but l7 attacks (in my experience). You need to get their paid plan, since the free one does not include ddos protection - they will ask you to upgrade if that happens.

-Sucuri.net: Not as well known as CloudFlare, but they have a very solid mitigation. Have been using them more lately as they are cheaper overall than CloudFlare and have amazing support.

-Incapsula: I used to love them, but their support has been really bad lately. They are on a roll trying to get everyone to upgrade their plans, so that's been annoying. If you can do stuff on your own, they work well.

That's been longer than what I anticipated, but hope it helps you decide.

> You're assuming that the capacity of the Powerwall is all the power available. With a solar-tied backup system, there is power coming in from the modules as well which is additive to the discharge rate of the Powerwall if wired correctly.

That still begs the question: why use Solar + Powerwall when Solar + Gas Generator has higher capacity and is cheaper?

> 15 amp 120v window unit

1800 W, which is more than half the capacity of your Powerwall. Not enough electricity left over to run a single-room AC and a dishwasher at night.

Got an electric oven or stovetop? 4000W or so? Yeah, Powerwall just ain't gonna cut it. 3.3kW capacity is just way too small for the typical house.

The answer to backup is frankly Solar + Generator. Battery backup just doesn't have the specs or the price to be practical yet.
