Most of benefits come if you have a system which can regulate slightly your use of air conditioning and heating (and a few other things like pool pumps).

In some cases you can save 50% of a daily powerbill by turning off the compressor in an air conditioner for 15 minutes.. but the right 15 minutes.

Few people would get up and turn off the air con for that, but a system that let you say how much you want to spend on it that you setup once makes a lot of sense.
Thanks for the link, I hadn't looked too closely at CAFE previously.
Actually a 50% efficiency loss would double the energy requirements to 800+ billion watt hours. Your original calculation is right for 100% efficiency in charging over wires.

All valid points, bar the trackpad. The force touch trackpad is a pleasure to use and I much prefer it to previous Apple trackpads (which are still excellent).
The Roswell incident was a balloon, but it's highly unlikely that it was a fire balloon. Most contemporary analysis points to the Roswell incident being caused by one of the Project Mogul balloons [1]. Project Mogul was a top-secret (at the time) project to detect Soviet atomic bomb tests by listening for their shock waves with very sensitive microphones. These microphones were mounted on large hexagonal discs, which, when viewed by an untrained eye, looked like a flying craft of some sort.

Looking at tcpdump, I saw that my laptop was sending NTP queries to random pool.ntp.org and actually getting responses. Quick spot of 3G roaming and I confirmed that I was also able to send and receive NTP packets from my own server.

Quickly setup an OpenVPN server on port 123, and ta-daa, working internet access. They had whitelisted all UDP port 123 traffic past their payment wall. It worked fine for several days.

Much nicer than a pseudo HTTP proxy :P
It depends on which milestones you look at. Of course, if you pre-select milestones which kids hit at about the same rate, then all of those taken together will seem to approximately argue in favor of UG.
Yes I meant something different. Generally with a load balancer the load balancer hosts that VIP(s) that your public facing DNS A records resolve to. In order to avoid a single point of failure you employ things like keepalived or ECMP/BGP etc.

I don't like the implication that you have to choose between excellence/"supreme intellect" and niceness. It excuses all sorts of assholes who believe that about themselves. What's wrong with being someone like Terry Tao?
"I proved who I was talking about,"

No, you did not 'prove' with any value of proof anyone else here would recognize. None of us can know did that conversation happen, if it did, were they serious or joking,etc etc. There is no way any sensible person could integrate this into their theory of the world.

Basically, unless you can provide evidence that is well known/scientifically rigorous/would hold in the court of law, what you wrote, is hearsay.

You can stand by your statement - no one is claiming you to be a liar. But claiming fluoridation of water is just some nefarious big-corp scheme is, to put it mildy, extraordinary.

To be fair, due to the nature of neural networks, there are a great number of domains where they can be applied in some way without that fact actually explaining anything about how the domain works.

For example, TD-Gammon plays a mean game of Backgammon, but this does not mean that Backgammon reduces to connectionism. TD-Gammon applies neural networks in a specific way with other algorithms involved, and then there are still underlying facts about what it takes to win at Backgammon which do not necessarily mandate anything that resembles connectionism.
Hi, one of the authors of the router here :)

You have a good point. But startups do not have the luxury of using a separate ops team. It's the dev teams that deploy the code as well.
I don't know if it matters that much, if there are direct results from the research itself. I mean, the World Wide Web worked out pretty well. I don't know if that would be a thing without CERN. There's lots of cool engineering that has to happen to build stuff at that scale. Maybe the age of cool side effects is over, but it seems like time and time again, we get great stuff.

NASA with smoke detectors and aluminum cnc machining. Cracking the enigma gave general purpose computers. Just trying to do something no one has done before forces discovery of other cool stuff, independent of the actual research goal.
So this is only financially viable because of Californian risk aversion after last years gas leak. If you have a reliable natural gas distribution network, like the rest of the world, batteries don't make any financial sense versus gas power plants.

I mean, this entire plant can supply 20 MW and will cost somewhere around $20 million. For that price you can buy two General Electric LM2500 gas turbine generators that can supply 47 MW and will fit in the same space as three 40-ft shipping containers. (These are basically just aircraft engines modified to produce electricity.)

So while this particular sale is of course good for Tesla, I don't see how one can justify this as Tesla "transitioning to a clean energy company". They saw a profitable, but likely one-time, opportunity localised to CA and they took it.
Can you explain how the "USB DMA exploit" works? Also how would you run this exploit on the phone if you were locked out of it?
I liked this article because it was in direct opposition to my beliefs (based on my own experience) and yet it gave me a different point of view and convinced me that there was some truth and value there.

I grew up in an era when we wasted a lot of time on mindless rote repetition of meaningless things (meaningless because we were not taught to understand them, only to repeat them). It was boring and useless. I learned by understanding and then applying that understanding. If you understood it, then there was no need to memorize something like f = ma because it was then obvious. But this is a whole new way of looking at it:

>If m and a were big numbers, what did that do to f when I pushed it through the equation? If f was big and a was small, what did that do to m? How did the units match on each side?

That's not thoughtless memorization, that's gaining understanding. But the author did it by active exploration via repetitively examining something from different angles. Not just rote repetition (doing the multiplication over and over again), but seeking understanding. So in a sense, the author is arguing in favor of teaching by emphasizing understanding, but explaining how to use directed repetition to do so. That makes a lot of sense. The key is that it is not mindless rote repetition, but directed, inquisitive repetition.

737s have already flown transatlantic flights; SAS used to run the oil-company special, a direct service, all business-class, on a 737 from Stavanger (Norway) to Houston (United States).

Similarly, British Airways still flies between London City airport and New York/JFK on an Airbus A318, also all business-class.

(and though the headline only mentions the 737, the article correctly points out that Airbus is aiming for this market too, with a planned long-range version of the A321neo)

> sell higher peak bandwidth than would otherwise be possible

What about increasing the total capacity, by investing into the infrastructure? Better transportation technology, putting more fibers in the ground, putting up more LTE/5G/6G/7G whatever towers.

Violation of network neutrality gives a competitive advantage to those who trick their customers over those who actually invest in their infrastructure.

Network neutrality is a way to restore the ISPs' incentives to invest in the infrastructure, and to protect those ISPs who already do that from their shady competitors.

(The only other way would be to educate the population so they votes against network neutrality with their money. That may or may not be harder to achieve than passing a law.)

> I'm not sure why they changed the script to turn the people into rechargeable batteries instead of CPUs ..

You're only partly correct. The battery story was told to the humans to blind them from the truth, which would have been revealed to us in the sequels, except in between, the Wachowskis seem to have left planet earth. The question shouldn't be what is the Matrix, but what is its purpose.

The original matrix was created by the humans, but once the Architect became self aware he hijacked it for his own purpose. The Architects true purpose in creating the Matrix was to model a piece of reality and therefore by observing that, might discover the nature of the AI that created it.

In order for the experiment to succeed everyone except the Architect had to be blinded as to its true purpose. The previous Matrices were the result of failed experiments and so had to be destroyed. As such the Architect, the Oracle, Agent Smith, Neo and the humans were engaged in some kind of gargantuan scientific experiment. You would agree the above would have made more interesting sequels.
the source also claims that the iPhone 7 is of a comparable speed to the macbook pro 13-inch from 2013, which is a computer I use daily for my programming. I'd love to see a way of using an iphone as highly mobile work station.
>> 5. Can be easily extended by any other developer

I can remember a instance, when I started my carrier. I was a JS developer. I wrote a module with Functors, Compose, Partial etc.

In code review my team told they didn't understand anything and reading such a code is not pleasant for them. I was upset, I was thinking why my team is not happy with it.

Today I can make lot of sense; stick to the pattern/design of your team. If your team follows / loves functional programming in your project, stick to it. If not try to advice them why functional programming would be better than normal approach.

End of the day, all it matters is writing simple, elegant code which others can understand.

You could also frame this as his companies align well with government initiatives because their success is largely in the public interest (or at least the success of the markets they are in or trying to establish).
In big companies ops trumps devs, and it's correct because they develop for 6-12 months and then operate that sw for 6 or 12 years. Been there, saw that (a mobile phone operator). So if ops says that docker is no-no for deployment, the dev has to work with another technology or convince them that everybody is going to benefit from it.

Startups begin as small companies and small companies have a single team that decide how to develop and deploy. Usually developers deploy and take care of production too. What's convenient for development often trumps what's convenient for production, at least for the first months or years.
This is an image compressor (I guess), but it doesn't use any of the words I would expect to see in an article about one: prediction, rate-distortion, residuals. Guess they haven't talked to the ffmpeg/vp8 people down the hall.

I'd complain about PSNR - optimizing for that gets you blurry/banded images - but the codec looks too simple for that to really matter.
I'd encourage you to spend 15 minutes researching what the costs are of running a peaker plant. There's a reason they're the most expensive generation method per MWh (peakers run for under 100 hours per year).

Revenue is revenue. If Tesla is able to cannibalize the peakers to contribute towards its enormous capital expenditures, and continue to reduce costs with the Gigafactory, it only makes utility battery storage more affordable.

There is no scenario where the cost curve per kWh of battery storage goes up.
The improvement from Switchboard can often lead to other tasks. This is the task that has been used for 20 years by the speech community - a well know entity for most people working on speech. It is very good to compare notes.

I'd assume they'd want to charge users different amounts for different priority levels like any other vendor, with perhaps a level that is free for an arbitrary amount. Seems pretty typical for many vendors, or even toll roads. Don't think there's anything in the protocol that dictates how the ISPs use the priority request flags.

There's a feature provided by a fair number of flash chips called a "Replay Protected Memory Block" or RPMB. The idea is that you provision your flash chip with a secret shared only with the secure enclave (presumably stored on fuses in the secure enclave) and then you can use that key to read and write a small block of storage on the flash chip.

It's "replay protected" because the crypto prevents an attacker from replaying old contents of the chip back to the secure element.

If Intel ever stopped mucking around with SGX licensing policy, SGX + RPMB would be a really nice combination on laptops.
yep. the fact that iOS apps typically don't use GC and that multitasking is much more restricted both reduce the amount of memory that iOS needs. (though more is always better!)
Sure you want to smooth out intermittencies, but this plant is way too tiny to actually store energy when it's windy and releasing it when it's not. It's more likely to handle peaking on a minute-by-minute basis.

Considering that a single big wind turbine produces 8 MW, this 80 MWh storage facility can only store 5 hours of production from two wind turbines!

And one of those turbines only costs about half of the Tesla storage facility.

I absolutely agree that memorization and repetition trump conceptual understanding when dealing with intermediate level of mathematics (I am taking a course on probability and integration and even though I have a good grasp of the basic concepts, if I don't keep up with the nitty gritty details and properties, I completely go astray when the teacher introduces a new concept built using those details.)

I.e. you need to master your tools (theorems, formulas etc) by repeating them so that you can use them to build something. Even if you knew what a hammer is good for (conceptual understanding) but didn't know how to hold it, it would still be pointless.
