What're ISPs more likely to do: Boot off a regular monthly paying customer because they're a "bad network citizen"? Or just charge them for any excess bandwidth they consume each month?

I suspect if some of the big CDNs start blocking ip address ranges that're sending large volumes of forged-source ip packets, ISPs will respond to customer complaints of "I can't load $website because Akamai/Cloudflare/PornHubCDN have blocked you!" (Not that this would have helped the Mirai L7 DDoS agains Krebs...)

It's hard to work out how to fix this, without somehow ending up on the slippery slope of "All ISPs need to to deep packet inspection and traffic analysis of every user's network use, to be able to block suspected-compromised customer devices". (And remember, as soon as we _require_ ISPs to record/store/analyse that, it's going ot get sold on to whoever else thinks they can extract value from it - advertisers, marketers, credit reporting agencies, insurance companies - I;m sure if you put your "evil monetization ideas" hat on you can think of a _big_ list of businesses you'd try to sell access to that data stream to...)

They use sugar cane to produce their ethanol, which is far more efficient than corn ethanol in the US (which, might I add, is in no way sustainable). Are you suggesting we attempt to grow sugar cane, in the midwest, in the enormous quantities required to replace millions of barrels a day of petroleum consumption?

Electricity will be the clear winner; we're simply awash in sunlight and wind.
What about the NYTimes's attempt to influence our democratic process by publishing Trump's tax returns? "While in the past I viewed the media as a crucial part of openness and democracy, I'm very suspicious of their current sources, and their intentions. Not to mention the journalists' personal interests (many have expressed hatred towards Trump)."

(Not that I'm a Trump supporter -- I just wonder if you can distinguish the above from your views on Wikileaks. I suspect you may just feel the way you do given your thoughts on Trump.)
A single 250 Watt solar panel can produce about 1 KWh per day in the US (a little more or a little less depending upon the part of the country and the aim). 20 of them would produce about 20 KWh. That ends up being between 60-80 miles of daily electric range for ~30 years. The panels themselves cost about $125 each, with a total panel cost of $2500. Unfortunately, installed costs will likely get you closer to $16,500 for this whole setup. Over the lifetime of the panels, you would expect over 600,000 miles worth of production.

The equivalent amount of gasoline (assuming 36.5 mpg and 2.50/gallon) would be 41,000.

Feel free to check my match, and Of course, I'm handwaving around some problems (the time value of money for one), but I think it is pretty easy to see that there are viable options for vastly increasing the amount of power production available and to do so largely in lockstep with the increase in demand for power from electric vehicles.

I think it is also pretty easy to see how a Tesla salesman might frame a sales pitch for solar panels.

I wish the time horizon on this matched the time horizon on which tickets are available. It seems to be about a month short when I compare to directly shopping for flights on airline websites.

Granted that shouldn't matter quite as much for the "when will fares increase" question, since they have to have a baseline to evaluate the increase magnitude, but it sure matters simply for the "I'm planning to fly in for a popular event a year from now and I know tickets are being snapped up so I want to compare fares for flights as soon as they become orderable" scenario.

I applaud the Ecuadorian government's attempt to at least distance themselves from this latest attempt by Wikileaks to influence our democratic process.

How can you say that with a straight face? Legal SuperPACs, campaign contributions, lobbying groups, the home of commercial 'PR' (propaganda) and the world's most highly litigious society. You guys are the least democratic of any self-titled democracy today. Wikileaks publishes information that enables people to make informed decisions. This is the original purpose of democracy. Chalk and cheese?

I also wonder also how you can say "Wikileaks is meddling in US political process" while admitting the US has made a global habit of meddling in others' affairs (including: direct political coup, arming rebel groups, placing puppets in power, supplying torture equipment and training, etc.). It makes no sense.

> Illinois is a great area to generate wind energy, but wind is more expensive than nuclear and also requires a greater amount of peaking plants because of the variable nature of the wind, etc.

While wind power in Illinois does require natural gas to back it (which will eventually be pushed out by more renewables and utility scale battery storage), it is so much cheaper than nuclear its the reason Exelon is closing two nuclear generators in the state earlier than expected (Illinois legislature would not provide them a bailout).

The root cause is that there isn't enough utility scale battery storage yet, which should've been incentivized with a higher tax credit than renewable generation.

Longer than infinite?

In an expanding universe, objects can be separated by a cosmic horizon. Nevertheless, from the comoving perspective, they may very well still move towards each other - but without ever meeting up. However, if you extended conformal time beyond infinity, they would. That's of course not physically possible, so that particular comment was tongue in cheek.
Agreed.

I'm confused... there are two sets of near-identical comparison photos with that pull-slider you described between them, and to my eyes it clearly and fairly shows that the Pixel's colors and clarity are better.

Are you guys complaining about the slight differences in angle and camera placement? (i.e. as you pull the slider across, things shift a little bit) It was a little un-satisfying in the sense of falling just short of perfect, but in my non-photographer mind it's plenty close enough to see a fair comparison...
Don't pay atention to the press coverage because it's usually misleading or wrong. The energy to produce the fuel is more than the "useful" energy that it release in combustion. Some energy is "lost" as heat during the formation and some energy is "lost" as heat during the combustion.

These discussions are complicated because the energy is conserved, so you can't gain or loose energy anyway. But if you must consider also entropy that is more abstract and difficult to explain.

For example, if you buy energy from the electricity provider you can use all of it to do something useful, let's say raising an elevator. If you convert the electricity to ethanol and then burn it and then convert the heat back to electricity, then you will get less electricity after all the conversions and the elevator can't be raised as high as in the direct case. The difference is "lost" as heat that can't be used for something useful.

If you imagine a smart method to use the heat, then it will break the entropy conditions and after many calculations you will discover that it will not work.

Also, I don't think that you can use this to store the atmospheric CO2, as the other comment suggest. The problem is that after converting the CO2 to ethanol you must store it somewhere. (Burning it doesn't solve the problem.) You need some gigantic tanks to store it, or you can dig a gigantic hole and burry all the ethanol. But today people is extracting oil from the soil, so you only have reduced a slightly part of the carbon that is released. It's more efficient to not extract the oil than extract the oil, burn it to produce electricity, convert it to ethanol and the burry the ethanol.
In that case, it's already 100% accurate.

Don't confuse handwaving with science.

There is the troubling fact that emails tracing the flow of funds from Syria to Russian banks vanished from the "Syrian files" email dump sent by hackers to WikiLeaks, despite the fact that the hackers considered those the Crown Jewels of their data exfil.

WL has never explained why they didn't publish those emails, though they did blame the press for reporting what they called Hillary Clinton's "neo-McCarthyist conpiracy theories," which was ... somewhat nonresponsive to the allegation.

Increment(25) still mutates the value.

What is the point here?

Point - say you have a database with 300 tables and ~3,000 columns.

You do not want to play the game of "hide the method to change the value". That is a big waste of time for everyone involved.
A lot of places try to manage that by holding retailers responsible - making it a fine-able offence to sell, for example, RF emitting gear that breaks local regulations. This _kinda_ works where most of the retailers are concerned about their reputation and are in the local jurisdiction, but breaks down _fast_ when thinks like AliExpress are taken into account.

(And it even occasionally fails spectacularly in cases where it _ought_ to have worked OK - people offloading lithium battery charging safety to large locally represented brands like Samsung instead of self-importing Xaiomi or Doogee "brand" phones directly from China...)

Why would someone be discouraged from making this kind of info public?
Indeed. If he were actually about transparency he'd have released all the info at once. For some reason he seems to have new releases ready right when Trump is taking a beating in the news.

I doubt he is actively trying to subvert the election, but whoever is feeding him the information seems to be trying.
That was my reaction the first time I was introduced to it. I looked at it again two years later and it just clicked. What's really cool is that the developer who has to go maintain it has 20% as much code to maintain.

Say you want a POJO with accessors, mutators along with equals and hashcode. Let it generate the methods by defining a class like:

@Data
public class something {
String name;
int age;
}

Lombok generates:

public String getName() { ... }
public void setName(String name) { ... }
public int getAge() { ... }
public void setAge(int age) { ... }
public boolean equals(Something other) { ... }
public int hashcode() { ... }
public String toString() { ... }
It would be difficult for me to take that into account as noone in my part of the country seems to have that kind of rate structure. I think it is mainly a west coast thing?

There are some places around here that have a demand charge for certain hours, but they also tend to have the cheapest rates in the region as well.

Interesting comment in the scheme of things, since the "I'll know it when I see it" phrase is often cited as a failure of having a concrete legal definition (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_know_it_when_I_see_it), which is one of the things should be avoided when possible when making a list of things which should not be done.

May be I am not understanding the problem correctly, but I wonder why you couldn't use separate repos, and build a script to record the current commit hash of every other repo when you make a commit in any one of the repo.

So every commit in every repo has a map that maps the repo path to a commit hash.

You can use this info to sync the versions of other repos when you update/checkout a version in any of the repos. And all of these can be scripted.

Hmm. For the typical card-not-present (online) use case, stripe.com and paypal do a pretty darn good job of processing AMEX payment cards, as well as the others.

Tokenization is vital in this age of cybermiscreants. Ya don't want customer payment card data in your dbms.

The stripe.com API offers tokenization, and it offers the ability to send and validate data like zip/postcode, cvv and street address to cut fraud. They have an api for chargeback disputes, too. (The business I serve doesn't use it, instead we use the forms on their web site. We have dozens of disputes per decade, not worth programming.)

Squareup.com (Square) does a good job with card-present transactions.

And these service providers offer predictable processing fees.

I wonder what's special about the AMEX APIs? Maybe somebody from AMEX can explain? Some of us are always looking for better ways to serve customers and handle payments efficiently.
True, but that became the legal standard precisely because it was so hard to define.

>why we don't have rules about who can and cannot call themselves a journalist.

Russia has basically done it. Any web resource with more than 3000 monthly visitors gets the "mass media" status with additional rules and restrictions and related punishments. I'd not say that this is a good thing to say the least.
The protocol involves about 64 bytes in and 64 bytes response. Technically you could shrink it a bit if you needed, but let's start there.

If you want 1,000 logins per second you limit yourself to 64,000 bytes / sec egress. This is hand wavy - there is some overhead but I'm not counting front-end traffic, TLS handshakes, etc. just the request/response against the internal data pool server.

If you want it to take 100 days at full rate to steal the pool, then that works out to 64,000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 100 = 552GB.

You can try to set the limit even lower, to allow an even smaller pool but that's the basic math. Just 10 logins/sec --> 5.5GB.

But if you depend too much on software limits and not PHY layer limits on the network speed you certainly run the risk of having your software limits blown away and the data pool slipping away much faster than you expected. You want a physical limitation to ensure the data will not get away from you over the network.

When you get to the point where a successful attack would require physically removing a hundred disks which are self-encrypted SSDs then you sleep more soundly at night!
I'm imaging more along the lines of serializing editor state with each key press, encoding it, sending it to another process, having that process unserialize it, lex it, encode all of the cascading token changes and information about those tokens back into JSON, sending it back to the editor process which then has to decode the JSON and apply all of the token information to the in-memory representation as real overhead.

It's great that Rust will decode and encode the JSON quickly (I've been keeping an eye on Rust's MSVC progress before I consider using it for a real-world project), but the project I work on cares about optimizations on the level of in-memory data layout and memory allocations. Moving syntax highlighting into a pluggable system would be a huge performance regression.
