Hm, I do like products with nutritional data. But isn't the non-regulatory solution here to just not buy products without nutritional data if so? I mean, I'd certainly contact my favorite brands and request that. If they won't hear me, then maybe there's a local alternative that could?
Paul Reynolds, who worked at uBeam, demolishes Energous planned business model through physics [1] [2]. My opinion (and a lot of other investors) is that Energous is a scam [3] [4]. Their device cannot get FCC approval to transmit at the levels that they need to to send power, so it's a complete non-starter.

That's the world I'm in. Carrier NAT for IPv4, fully working routable IPv6 as designed.

Unfortunately this still screws me over because nobody who I might want to connect to my home network has IPv6 yet.
Do you mean politicians and bureaucrats? (I'm not joking, I'm asking)
And while all that's going on, foreigners (at least) will switch from buying Fords to some other brand.
There are some subtle problems which can affect sites trying to use IPv6, that may prevent IPv6-only users from using the site. A site can have an IPv6 DNS record, and be reachable by IPv6, but the DNS nameservers for its domain must also be reachable by IPv6. In particular, the glue records for the DNS name servers for the domain must also contain IPv6 addresses.

(This problem currently affects the “ntp.org” domain – an IPv6-only host can not resolve the name “pool.ntp.org” – since at least two years ago. I did report it at the time.)

What I’m saying is that these kinds of problems are not reflected in the site, which only reports if a site has an IPv6 DNS record.

> being a Lawyer, if someone comes to me, it's because of me, not because of the firm I am working in

Are you speaking hypothetically, i.e., 'if I was a lawyer'? I'm not an attorney but for a variety of reasons I have relatively deep insight into the legal industry, and I think this statement is generally not true.

As in any field, most business comes from referrals and networking, and much of that happens within a firm. If your career is at a top firm then you are going to build a much different network than a similar attorney who opens their own office in a strip mall. When Goldman Sachs needs an outside attorney, where do they go and who do they ask? Even ignoring referrals, just imagine who is there when you are invited to dinner by your colleague: Is it the mayor and local Fortune 500 CEO, one of whom takes a liking to you and asks you to join the board of a local charity, or is it the lovely neighbors who drive Uber or run a small medical practice, and ask for some legal tips?

Personally, I don't enjoy the hunt for status and I think it impedes socio-economic mobility, but I'm afraid that's the way it works.
I'm going to make a prediction. This isn't going to be popular, and it's only my opinion and doesn't constitute advice:

This fund will not earn its investors a positive return.
The problem is that I think a lot of back-end frameworks change (and/or are created in the first place) as just a means to pad the developer(s) that coined it. All the new implementations of JS that are increasingly more backend just seem like a lazy way of not having to learn a "real" OOP language and just pressing boundaries. Which is great in some respects, but I feel like we could be making better headway as a collective resource by working on improving what's already there (without breaking it in the process) instead of making new things so the new kids to the game don't have to try so hard.

HTML is akin to translating. I know devs who have done front end for 20 years who can't begin to wrap their heads around scripting because it's not just wrapping text in brackets to translate to a screen, but they can pull of tricks in CSS like a shark breathes water. Yes, CSS is a mess and I think a lot of that was trial and error and needs to be standardized, but it's an example still of working to make something that is already there do its job better rather than making something new and shiny to replace it so you can add another language to your portfolio.
I am all too aware as I have mild fluorosis in some of my teeth! Although I think the biggest cause of this was semi regular fluoride rinses at the dentist when I was a kid.

> "race" doesn't really have a biological meaning

Please work with me. Communication requires willing partners, I don't know where you want to take this sub-thread? I know "race" does not exist - and yet we did (and do) have the word. We were talking about language and meanings, not truth. Enough people did (and do) associate a biological meaning - what an actual geneticist has to say about that is besides the point.

And now the meaning of that word has shifted. That is all I said.
They are the actions of adults who are about to have their means of survival taken away.

Why are you against freedom of association (general strikes)? Should people be serfs, without the right to refuse to work, in protest of working conditions?
I was down voted to hell for saying this in the past, but I'll share it again:

One of my dads best friends was head of ALCOA, John Haymaker:

Quote: "aluminum production produces fluoride acid - a substance so toxic that we cannot dispose of it... So we began fluoridation of the water because the only place we can store it is in your liver"

And for those that toe the line with dental benefit BS: if the government was so fucking concerned with your dental health - why isn't any other medical benefit made free and literally forced upon you like fluoride is???
> We looked at Covered California and heard we might also qualify for medicare.

Unless you are a senior, you probably don't qualify for Medicare. You may qualify for Medi-Cal (California's Medicaid plan), which is a very different thing.

Covered California should identify any eligibility for either Medi-Cal or Covered CA exchange-plan subsidies.
this is absolutely ridiculous. there is next to no seed funding in existence. Let me tell you how the seed market for startups is: imagine you had a orchard, right, but instead of apples it grew dollar bills, and you just had to water them or they wouldn't grow. Under this scenario a guy with acres of dollar-tree bills could not get funding to water them with some kind of farm equipment. That's the state of the startup world.

You read all those PG essays about not dying? About bootstrapping? Well because it turns out the only way to capitalize a typical startup is to stand in front of your dollar-bill tree and urinate. Or organize some kind of free sporting event with the side effect of making people go piss on your trees. Then 97% of your trees die except the 5 you pissed on, but you can take them to the bank and next season repeat. That's how bad startup seed funding is.

You could not literally fund money growing out of thin air.

I sometimes think that the government should step in and fund these things (after all, even Tesla got gov't grants.) Because the private market sure as #@$% isn't.

EDIT:

This is already at -2 but I am keeping it without altering a word, because the downvoters are wrong and uninformed (or don't understand the analogy), and I am right and well-informed, also it's a good analogy. It's not even close. Here is an example of someone in Europe describing this precisely:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12198883

Notice the words "With a product like that, the second thing that we didn't expect was that we tripped the "too good to be true" sensor everywhere, raising doubts." (you might have to click parent from the comment I linked.)

It's not as bad in silicon valley as it is in Europe. But it's not that far-off either. There is next to no seed funding in existence. This is a fact. Downvoting me won't change it. Now at -3 after posting this update. Still right. Still not changing a word.
My intuition is that the doubling up to 512 does increase the receptive field, but you're essentially building a non-linear convolutional filter with a kernel size of 1024. The network benefits from stacking multiple of these groups, because each group can again convolve over the previous outputs at every temporal distance, which allows for learning deeper/higher level features. It is similar to the stacked 2d convolutions used for images, where every subsequent convolutional layers learns more abstract and higher level features/attributes of the data. This is just intuition though, there is no evidence yet that this holds for wavenet's architecture.

The car-burning in European strikes always puzzles me. "I'm so angry at entity Foo, that I'm going to destroy my neighbour's property!"
It's not so strange that we get fewer "smaller open-minded business(es)" though, considering the increasing regulatory burden. Of course, they are maintainable - but they do consume a lot of resources to tick them all off.

Most of the regulations doesn't actually directly cost to comply with, but you'd need more staff or dedicate more time to things that are not your core business - that's money out of the pocket.
> Even "rich people" don't like to take a 10% hit every year on their estate though.

And nobody likes to get coerced into anything. There should be no policy with the intent to punish anyone, whether rich or poor.
And it is not the rich that cause the housing problem, which is real and global.

> The vacant home issue is prevalent in nearly every large city in the world and it has a vast social cost. If you don't want to suppress it through tax (force them to live there, sell, or subsidize the locals by paying extortionate tax), another way would be facilitating squatting of empty property.

It is vastly different to see an inefficiency as a cost over seeing as a lost of potential gains. A property owner that does not rent his property is not costing anyone anything: only he is the loser of the potential gains of renting the property. It is a benefit for a renter when he rents it out, not a cost when he doesnt.
If we start seeing potential gains and costs that have to be subsided, you will notice a very uneven application of such criteria.
Should people be spending time for leisure? maybe we should force them to do charity. Not doing charity is a vast social cost! 10% tax on wages if you dont do charity!

Any law that artificially lowers the value of property, for example by allowing squatting, or forcing taxes will lower both demand and supply. IF people buy less of those property, developers will build less, and often in the end you end up with less properties to begin with.

Not only that, but forcing things on people have the funny side-effects of getting push back. If you allow squatting, you will now see empty buildings getting boarded up (you can see this in Buenos Aires very often). That is costly to the property owner, costly to the neighborhood by showing an eye-sore.

>When you do that, you actually have charities that specialize in "opening up" unoccupied spaces and setting them up for homeless people to live there. I actually like the way we do it in France where if you stay there for a couple of days you are legally an inhabitant so it takes up to a years worth of legal proceedings to expel you.

Thats terrible, a huge deterrent to buy property, and so, of building property. People always have the greatest ideas when it comes to doing things with other people's resources.

Because DigitalOcean fought, and possibly paid, for their blocks for you. I don't do it any more but even in 2010-2011 getting blocks from ARIN took real work (ask for /18, get /19, lots of justification and explanation, etc).

Now everybody's pretty much out. So I don't know DO's blocks, but very likely if they're running out they're having to buy more. Depending on how they cut it up a /16 -- I know they have at least one /16, because it came up here yesterday -- can serve at least 60,000 droplets or so.

> Rotary phones are from the 70's and earlier.

The last rotary phone I saw for sale was, I think, in the 1980s, the last one I saw in use was in the 2000s. Its quite possible that someone could be a millennial and have used one (IIRC, we used one in my house until 1986 -- the other phones in the house were touch tone -- and only ditched it because we happened to move.)

Decided to go to goodcarbadcar.net to get US sales numbers (they have Canada as well) to see how much of this volume it represents.

In 2015 the Ford Brand sold ~2.502M vehicles in the US. For the cars being moved over to Mexico...

* C-MAX - 21,768

* Fiesta - 64,458

* Focus - 202,478

* Total - 288,704

About 11.5% of units sold in the US, and I think all the vehicles they sell in the US on their B3 (Fiesta) platform. Interestingly, not all C1 platform cars are moving over, as the Edge (124,000 units) and Transit Connect (52,000 units) will continue to be built in the US, again, because they offer better front-end margin.

Because I'm slow at work..

If we say the new generation iPhones have a 3,000mah battery, batteries are charged fully once per day, and that 100 million people in the US have iPhones:

3,000mah x 3.8v = 11.4 watt-hours to fully charge a phone -- at $0.15/kWh, this equates to a daily expense of ~$0.002 to charge your phone. Annually, this is $0.62. If wireless charging were 50% efficient, it would still cost under a dollar annually to charge your phone.

On a bigger scale:

11.4Wh * 365 days * 100M phones = 416 billion watt-hours annually to charge all the iPhones in the US. A 50% efficiency loss would equate to a difference of 208 billion Wh.

Enercon makes a monster wind turbine called the E-126 that has a 7.6mW generator attached. With a modest 40% capacity factor, you would only need 8 additional wind turbines to make up for every iPhone user in the US switching to wireless charging.
