H2S is insidious, but it's not the primary reason for venting lead acid batteries.

H2 gas itself is. Particularly when overcharged, batteries will build up a pressure of H2, which specially designed vents within the battery will let out. H2 actually needs a pretty high concentration to flash, but if your RV is airtight, you can reach those conditions.
I understand the sentiment of these sorts of things, but they end up coming off as quite ignorant of history.

There has definitely been a change in the nature of mankind's relationship with the Earth's environment, such that human actions have become a dominant factor. However, that happened at some time during the bronze age. Humans have been completely changing biomes and drastically impacting the environment for thousands of years. Huge swaths of forests were cut down, much of the remaining forests were managed, farmland and grazing lands replaced natural habitats, numerous megafauna were hunted to extinction, etc. The difference between the bronze age and today is merely that it's become much more obvious how significant our impact on the world is today.
DNSSEC has no meaningful real-world deployment. Nobody on the entire Internet has ever been protected by a DNSSEC validation. So if we're just going to fix things and make them better, let's fix the protocol, instead of deploying something that is broken and obsolete before anyone even starts using it.

That's a political choice for Ireland to make. They put Apple in this position in order to (illegally) bolster their economy; they might want to absorb some (or all) of the blow, to avoid a reputation hit.

TBH, it's about damn time Ireland gets the bill for 25 years of thinly-veiled dumping. Luxembourg and Netherlands should be next on the list.

Very nice. Would love to see versions in other programming languages.

I'm very interested in examples that extrapolate this idea to other areas of programming and even math. And also work in the reverse direction.

But the sad reality is whether it's a mistake or prejudice, police wield deadly force, so calling them always has the possibility of someone dying.

Should they be held to a higher standard? Yes. But many aren't, and until that happens, thinking otherwise is wishful or naive. If you call the police, and it spirals out of control, you DO bear some measure of responsibility. Not as much as the actual police, but it's not zero, either, especially if your call is racially motivated.

Mugging isn't a counterexample, because the mugger and the muggee have completely opposite desires in the situation. Nobody calls up a mugger and invites them to their neighborhood. Whereas, when you call the cops, you're somewhat in alignment.

Transportation is the big one. The biggest wasters you'll find in most peoples budgets are cars. The author put everything into a van. Go the opposite direction. Pull every dollar you can away from your car. Have no car if you can get away with it. Or only one car instead of two in a family setting. Consider the TCO of any car you buy. A lot of people say 'buy used' but IMHO it's more important to buy less car.

Thinking Through Better Error Message Design
From my experience and extensive testign while building a OLAP systems jemalloc performs much faster then glibc's malloc.

It's just as tcmalloc or faster (in new versions). Unlike tcmalloc is has very low memory fragmentation and is aggressive by default in returning it to the OS.

Returning memory to the OS is very valuable in DBMS since every extra page not used in userspace is a extra page in page cache which in my testing leads to better query performance under load.

It's a small leap to combine panoptic surveillance with predictive policing (the latter has been used in large cities already) - along with automated classification labeling "suspect" behaviour.

Note for example that it is rather likely, if you go from an historic "know good" dataset containing more convictions of poor people of colour, that you would automate racial profiling... Quite possibly mixing cause and effect in the training period. Consider further the implications of a company running prisons (paid per inmate) going into the business of selling city/country-wide surveillance systems to "assist police".

>Not really. Non invasive bci through fmri is basically about mapping activation function in certain regions to some other computing function. The actual computer actuation is only as coupled with the activation as you can get from related measurement after giving the user a prompt. Oh and by the way it's not IO it's just one way.

I think the better (spacial/temporal) we can understand how stimulus looks like from a electromagnetic perspective for a given brain, we can make some good estimates on what the em field would look like some time t, afterwords. I've done something like this with eeg using beamforming techniques with a sufficient number of leads and comparing brain states with pre and post fmri of same tasks while providing feedback visually or auditory every 1-2 seconds (which is a really long time).

I also think this could actually get us pretty far (concerning decision making and task allocation) if we could record in environments not constrained to the lab and factor in the variables to sufficient degree that confound eeg typically by including gyroscopes/accelerometers/thermometers/drift in impedance (factoring out fluctuations in em field due to temperature/conductivity of scalp via sweat/head movements), or even environments that are pretty much stationary like gaming (also where the inputs are more observable by time-stamping screen with controller inputs to sensors on the brain).

>Invasive Deep brain stimulation is definitely better, however it's still solely used to create general simulation in order to prevent tremors and other maladies.

Saw Prof. Arnd Pralle, University at Buffalo[0], give a talk at MIT in May on his work on tetherless magnetothermal deep brain neuro-stimulation to modulate motor behavior in awake, unrestrained mice. Was pretty cool and got me thinking the same could be done with designed photonic thermal systems. I wish this field had as much money going into it as the folks in the compsci depts, esp with focusing on hardware/tooling for getting measurements vs all else going on in the neurofield.

And the Bay Area is roughly 6,900 square miles vs the 3,806,000 square miles of the US as a whole. Put another way, Silicon Valley is where you can find 10% of the total number of US developers despite it being only ~0.002% of the country's landmass. I get the general point the author is trying to make, but 10% in such a small region is still an extraordinarily high number.
Well, I would investigate negative income tax. I don't know what the current state of the UBI lobby looks like, but there are certainly flavors of UBI that are much more efficient at allocating funds where they are needed most. Negative income tax is just one flavor of the more nuanced strategies. I certainly don't think routing some percentage of money into the governments coffers just to pay out again to the same people paying it would be an attractive option, and that seems like what you're describing. I believe that is by far the least efficient model I've seen.

Personally, I think it's throwing money away without also addressing healthcare costs, including nutritional reform. Sugar is only cheap when you ignore the costs of obesity we all bear in increased premiums. This is the only way of which I can conceive to implement some form of cash relief without cutting into benefits.

> What's the end goal of this?

The invention of books as an artificial external memory has been very helpful to us. Storing the world's knowledge into them was a kind of Utopian project in retrospect. This would be something like that but better because it wouldn't just be about storing 'raw data' but skills, the training of executive function, aptitude adjustments etc.

Of course this means really changing human beings from what they were because I expect you can't change a brain this much without altering personalities. Then again, are you the same person you were before you entered the military, the university? Probably it changed. I think that is one reason people won't like it. People find it difficult to communicate with people they cannot relate to. Without shared experience this new world if it comes would be quite an alienating and lonely one.

Insurance recommendations for self-employed consultant?
I'm a self-employed consultant occasionally entering into contracts with state governments that involve interacting with "consumers." I've been advised to seek out insurance for my business since I am interacting more and more with consumers and it's better to play things safe.

Does anyone have any recommendations for affordable insurance for a self-employed consultant? It's not a topic I find discussed very often, but I can't be the only person wondering.

Non-paywalled article: http://www.businessinsider.com/alphabet-david-drumond-barred...

From the Business Insider article:

> The situation is similar to when Google CEO Eric Schmidt left Apple's board after his company started working on Android, its own mobile operating system similar to Apple's iOS, except that Drummond hasn't given up his board seat.

It's only kind of similar. Schmidt left Apple's board while Drummond has been essentially forced out, and Google was working on a direct competitor to Apple's iOS, which would have been a pretty glaring conflict of interest. I guess Uber's self driving cars research would be a conflict of interest for Drummond too, but Drummond is just a SVP of corporate development, so he wouldn't really deal with any of the development of the self driving cars at Google.

Yes, that is very interesting to me as well. I think Amazon's ElasticSearch can be used for searching. GitHub would be the obvious choice for crawling the source code.

Of course, there are a lot of roadblocks, like how much GitHub allows you to crawl the source code (sometimes you can find huge dumps on legit torrent sites or I don't remember the name of the site but it provides you with S3 buckets with crawled data where the requester has to pay for bandwidth but the data is free).

Then of course you will have to index the source code by language, project, author, date, etc. It's definitely not easy, which could be the reason why there is this huge gap.

Not really, because by comparison Tesla cars are relatively blind. Google's cars are loaded up with all kinds of sensors collecting as much data as they can. And they have the advantage of driving back to the plant to hoover off the data with as fat a pipe as they want.

Tesla is far more limited in both what it's collecting and how it's collecting it as it needs to go over a cell signal. For example they are using a camera for a hefty part of the autopilot system. They obviously can't stream every frame of that camera up to their servers for deeper analysis. Besides being infeasible bandwidth requirements it would be an insane privacy violation of the owner.

It's interesting to note that the meetings time decreased as the management time increased, because often the two are strongly correlated.

In my experience meetings and management time grow proportionally, since meetings are a good way to talk with the team, set expectations and review the results. Or, in other words, some meetings == management.

No one uses diodes on their battery banks, lead acid can tolerate some overcharge which is how they are equalized and lithium use a BMS for balancing cells.

The only diodes I have seen are used for Chassis/House bank isolation but usually its a relay system instead.

That's not quite right. The Net is an interface for human beings and society. We don't talk to computers on here, we talk to each other.

That's partially right but by temporarily unplugging you can regain focus. Most of us on here are basically functional information addicts due to the length of time we've been using the Net. I think we all know there are some downsides to being continually connected and timing out is a good idea on a periodic basis.

yeah it seems like when one of the big software companies opens a satellite office in $city/country, then you see "$city/country is the new silicon valley".

No, when you hire a lawyer and provide them documentation on what has transpired and is transpiring, you are just building an arsenal to be prepared in case of further escalation.

When you have your lawyer contact the company, even then, you aren't at DEFCON 1, though that is a significant escalation (or a response to one.)

When you file legal action against the company, then you are at DEFCON 1.

> There is no way it wasn't legal.

Well, that's like, your opinion, man.

The EU Commission usually doesn't put the hammer down because of trivialities, especially when they are as politically hot as this is. If they push, it's because they're pretty certain that they have grounds (and political support across the Union) for it.

In addition, EU directives are often relatively generic, giving grounds for 1) different national approaches and 2) flexible interpretation by the courts. When courts are called to have their say, they usually follow the political climate pretty faithfully. I can tell you the appetite for a tax shakedown of multinationals is huge in Europe at the moment.

Should Ireland weasel out of this ruling they will face ostracism elsewhere, at a time when they can ill afford it (being one of the countries that will suffer the most if Brexit is not resolved in an amicable manner). They will try (they have to, to save face), but it's unlikely that they will succeed. The party is over.

> The EU commission is not supposed to have any say over tax issues

Au contraire: rules against industrial state-sponsoring have been on the books since Maastricht, I believe. One of the main critiques of the EU is exactly that this straight-jacked national governments, which found themselves without powerful levers to manage their economies. In practice, these rules have been selectively applied, depending on the political climate. Such climate is now very unfavourable towards "onshore tax havens".
