I alluded to the solar metering in my other comment. Here is what it says on the G.B. National Grid Status site.

> This is the total demand of the entire country (plus or minus exports) less any unmetered generating sources like wind (about half as much as is shown on the meter) and solar installations (average about 0.25GW, mostly in summer).

> As no solar PV to date is metered centrally, we cannot show real time figures on solar PV power yet. It appears only as a mid-day dip in overall demand, on the demand graph.

There is data for France (but the quality may be dubious): http://gridwatch.templar.co.uk/france/

> almost certainly never going to be made

Wait, why is that? Isn't this 2016 where any game or movie that is even a little successful, must inevitably have successors?

How could valve motivate not making a game that would sell like hotcakes no matter how terrible it is? Sure, it would have enormous expectations, but that's true of all movie sequels (yet most suck). Is the value of Valve currently based on a game they'll never make, because it' can't live up to expectations? That would be an odd situation!

Even if Valve decides against ever doing HL3, could they afford not to sell the franchise? It must be worth a TON to e.g. Microsoft who could use the title it to push xboxes or VR headsets or whatever.

3 Physicists Win Nobel Prize for Theoretical Research into Phases of Matter
I've been completely blown away with Pieter's courage and willingness to share his journey. I hope I have 10% the dignity when my time comes!
Good. It's one of those bloody articles that requires a layman to read all of the attached articles, two or three links deep, to have any chance of understanding just the parts without mathematical formulae.

And before anyone accuses me of wanting to dumb down Wikipedia: yes, that's exactly what I want. Wikipedia should be written to a generalist audience, not by specialists for specialists.

> I'd actually say for someone completely new (e.g. locked in a basement doing C or Java for the last 20 years), learning Erlang would be far easier than learning modern JavaScript and Angular2.

I suppose that might be the case. It feels incredibly counter-intuitive, but it's not inconceivable that the JS frameworks stray that far from "normal JS".

Were I in this situation as a employer (and co-worker, necessarily, not only in a managerial position), I would probably make the decision to use other technologies and compile to JS, in that case. There's very little to gain from using a framework that by necessity is tied to a crummy language if I can skip using that as a source language anyway, and then I'd just go with something sane like Elm instead.

(Bear in mind, this is coming from someone who doesn't actually work with front-end development, so take it with a grain of salt.)
Games don't have a minimum "bullets per minute" quota they need to fill to be considered a shooter. Sometimes I go on a melee spree in Halo, does that make it "not a shooter"?

SS2 lets you use projectile weapons as your preferred way of disposing of enemies. In my mind, if you choose that path, it could be described as a shooter. That isn't all it is, but it is one word that describes a particular way you can choose to play the game.

Side note: SS2 is probably my favourite game so I certainly don't mean to "degrade" it by implying it is "just" a shooter.

That statement directly contradicts your evidence:

>black people were 3.6 times more likely to be arrested for drugs than white people.

Please don't exaggerate, particularly when it comes to politically heated topics like this. Otherwise rational people disengage because it's clear you have some kind of axe to grind and the only people that push back are other axe grinders.

Also, as the other poster pointed out, it's not clear if any of this data has been correctly normalized for income level. This same lazy tactic is used by racists to associate crime with black people, so it's very counterproductive to perpetuate stats that don't adjust for income.

Physics is complex man, what did you expect. If you know nothing, you need to learn a lot in order to even understand their starting point.

And regarding wikipedia articles, there's two big design alternatives: for each article you either write into it all the necessary background, or instead link to the necessary background in different articles. I suspect that the modus operandi that wikipedia has chosen is that you should do the former for mainstream topics and the latter for niche topics.

I can't possibly see how this is Amazon's fault. You're arguing that you offer a service for free (for a little while anyway), and that more people are taking you up on that because they have logs lying around, because Amazon has prompted them in the past to save these logs?

I mean, shouldn't this help your service?

a) now people can try it out because they already have logs and don't have to wait (which you've already identified was an issue), and

b) now people will end up with a bucket full of logs, think 'how can I analyse and use these logs', and go looking for a product like yours!

> Wikipedia should be written to a generalist audience, not by specialists for specialists.

Until this has been done (feel free to help), I prefer that the specialists view is in place, rather than nothing. Or worse, a tabloid one sentence placeholder.
It is very sad that we've (had to?) militarize our police force in America to such a degree that there's really no going back. I don't fear the police, only an interaction with them. Despite the cameras it seems no one is safe from escalation and death. Even with cameras we will only see the aftermath. Someone will still be dead.
I am not disagreeing that police officers should be held to a higher standard than others (with great power comes great responsibility), but nobody should ever be presumed guilty and be left having to prove their innocence.
> I can't possibly see how this is Amazon's fault. You're arguing that you offer a service for free (for a little while anyway), and that more people are taking you up on that because they have logs lying around, because Amazon has prompted them in the past to save these logs?

You've got it backwards. The OP is saying that due to AWS UI changes, it's more likely that user's will have logging enabled, thus showing more value for s3stat. This leads to more subscriptions. It's a positive piece, not a negative!

How does that directly contradict my statement? Also, you left out the very important context, which is that while they are 3.6x as likely to be arrested, black people use drugs at the same rate as white people, so what justifies the 3.6x increase?

And, how does income affect stop-and-frisk or drug possession arrests? Do cops have some sort of x-ray vision where they can see a suspect's W-2?
100Mbit can save loads of money if you're fine with used hardware. You can get old Dell Powerconnect 3548s for next to nothing and it's a decent managed switch for SMB use. They're cheap to the point where you don't care too much if they ever do break because you can easily buy double for very little cash and always have hardware on hand to replace anything.

I'm not saying it's worth it but if 100Mbit works for you and you're short on cash you can get decent managed switches for very little cash. Gigabit switches aren't really at rock bottom prices for somewhat obvious reasons.

While I'm not a Swede I do live in Sweden and I do follow Swedish news (both the 'official' as well as the 'alternative' sources). I do have to concede that SVT (and, more or less to the same extent, SR - Swedish Radio) has a problem with bias. Being a state-financed broadcaster (through a mandatory payment for anyone who has 'television reception equipment' in their residence, no matter whether that equipment is used to watch SVT) they are by law mandated to be politically neutral. This is something they (as an organisation) fail in, and rather miserably. If I were to place them somewhere in the political spectrum they would end up next to the (ruling) labour party, sometimes to the left of them, sometimes to the right. In this they mirror most of the 'official' media in Sweden which hover around the same area in their political orientation. As the previous poster indicated this can partly be explained by looking at the political orientation for the large majority of those employed in the 'media' and 'culture' sector.

This combination of left-oriented media and a left-wing government has led to a systematic failure of the media to keep check on the government, especially where it concerns Miljöpartiet (the green party). That party was recently shaken by a number of scandals, mostly related to the infiltration of islamist politicians - one of whom made it as far as a position as minister for housing in the current government, he stepped down when his position become untenable - with an agenda which diametrically opposed that of the party itself. Until a few months ago there was not a single (!) critical voice in the 'official' media where it concerned this party. Where all other parties - especially those which are in opposition against the current migration policy in Sweden - were targeted by the media (as they should be, this is part of their function, to keep check on the political establish ment) the green party sailed by without a single critical voice.

Another problem lies in the fact that Swedish media often use supposedly objective but in truth politically activist research organisations as source for their material. The best example of this is 'Expo', an organisation which was set up to do research on anti-Semitism, racism and xenophobia. This might have been their charter once but they do not live up to it, instead they are a political activist organisation with an agenda which resembles that of Vänsterpartiet ('the left party', formerly known as 'Vänsterpartiet Kommunisterna' or 'the left wing party communists', they changed their name after the demise of the Soviet Union) and Miljöpartiet. While in itself this is not a problem, they are still treated by the media as if they are an objective, politically neutral organisation. That is a problem.

I received this news as a retweet in my Twitter feed. Next to it was a bit.ly link about Configuration Management tools, the announcement of a speaker at a conference, and a famous quote from Einstein.

Right now on HN it's #4. Next to it is a blog post about tools and frameworks and a post about a PostgreSQL extension. The response to Pieter's tweet is lengthy and very kind. It would be a privilege to hear those thoughts in my own life before I leave. But the thoughts will still keep coming, probably long after he's gone.

I met a nice lady three years ago. She was a "social media consultant" in the local area, which basically consisted of teaching small business owners how to navigate the web. We met for lunch several times when I was in town.

Soon, though, she learned she had stage 4 lung cancer. I had lunch with her one more time. I'll never forget how weary she looked.

She held on for almost a year, then she passed.

For many weeks after that, however, Facebook was full of her many friends offering their condolences. Facebook would remind me that she liked certain things as a way to sell me on things. Every so often people would think of her and post on her wall. These posts appeared in my feed.

Last week I finally had to unfriend her. She was dead. But it didn't stop the computerized social network that Facebook to stop trying to monetize as much of her presence as they could. Even if somebody had set her account to deceased, Facebook will always own some part of her existence.

It feels like turning a tender, emotional, precious thing into a bucket of bits. I find that repugnant.

When I hire I look for specific types of knowledge, not specific languages (even Lisp and Smalltalk, which are still on my resume). IMO it's really difficult to tell how much, or what, people know, by looking at standard resumes.

Just putting Clojure on a resume is meaningless--I can put anything I want on a resume. It's meaningless until you talk to the person and find out if they have the basic concepts of multiple paradigms down.

That said: having "interesting" tech on a resume means at least they know the words and they might be more likely to have a strong developer mind.

Although I mostly skimmed the article, I have to say that the feeling I got from the article changed a couple of times between positive v. negative. This left me confused and because of that I guess I missed the point as well.
Death has always been something that came to you — naturally or via some agency — and not the other way around; and only rarely is its time known beforehand (i.e., executions). It is a relatively modern phenomenon that we actively seek death in these cases, and decide when to go whilst being a part of the community around you. Sure there are the customs of elderly tribesmen wondering off into the wilderness to die, but that too abstracts death away into something that happens to you, not something you actively invite.

Society isn't used to this notion, and we don't really have any handholds to fall back to. Do you mourn with the person while he is still alive? Go on as if nothing really changed? Celebrate life with them while you still can? Euthanasia is becoming widely accepted; at least at the abstract levels of law and medicine, so we'll probably figure it out eventually.

Perhaps the Hallmarks of the world can introduce a nice line of cards for the occasion?
I talked to a police officer in Germany and he told me that police abuse happens even if they wear cameras. He said that those who wear cameras simply don't record their colleagues who are hitting people i.e. looking to another direction deliberately.
And I'm sure that if you start to punish them based on those body cameras, you'll see that the police officers will give you biased footage.

Although I can imagine that police officers start to change their behaviour because they're watched (there are studies showing positive changes in behaviour due to surveillance), there must also be more education for the police officers in regards to baseline probabilities so that they realize that black and white people aren't different in behaviour, this could help them to realize that their intuition is not profound. I think helping them to understand cognitive biases is a good way to start a shift.

All of this requires that they aren't doing abuses deliberately, though.
