Uh, ok, so where is all the power for these electric cars going to come from? That oil/natural gas/whatever is just going to get burned at some large newly built plan and transferred using a ton of grid upgrades (all likely paid for using bonds).

Moreover, the cars aren't going away, instead of buying one with a ICE, its going to have a battery and some electric motors, the companies producing that will likely need bonds too. So, without attempting to compute the costs of a few dozen gigafactories, rare earth mines, etc, the article seems pretty worthless to me.

Frankly, i've been wondering for the past few years what percentage of a modern car's production cost is actually the gas engine. Modern engine complexity seems to have peaked 20 years ago, and declined. Of course safety, comfort and entertainment systems have exploded in complexity in that same time period, but those are things people expect out of modern electric cars too.
We built Baqend around the caching algorithms that we developed at the university. Our goal was to make the performance optimizations applicable to as many contexts a possible. We went for the "serverless" pardigm and backend-as-a-service to accelerate any application (website or app) that uses our APIs and hosting.

Currently most of our customers are e-commerce, web and app agencies, startups and software companies that look for web performance in combination with scalability.

We're currently getting lots of request from e-commerce, so we are building out our support for shop features (e.g. advanced search, payment, content management). We are developing a Magento plugin to make the transition to our platform and its performance benefits as easy as possible.

Wow this is the biggest Endowments bo*bs flaunts
Vastly endowed Instagram queen, Romangoddess had an eventful weekend with friends as they stormed the recently organized all-white high profile party at the prestigious Eko Hotel and Suites, five-star conference centre hotel in Lagos.
Romangoddess alongside another friend with gargantuan breasts seized every opportunity to flaunt their bosoms with pictures and videos that have flooded her Instagram page.
Lagos State is the hub of entertainments and socialites in Nigeria where the weekends are taken seriously to ease pressure after a very long week of working from Monday to Friday.

> Riskier companies may lose access to credit completely

If a riskier company can't renew it's credit, and in general the money is getting more expensive won't this lead to bankruptcy for many energy companies. Those companies won't be able to pay their debt back so ergo the money has to be written off.

This would lead to higher IR on any old-energy based debt which could then put even the less risky companies at risk as they need to put more of their profits into servicing their debt.

There would be a systemic failure. Unlike the housing crisis it will be due to companies that can't afford their debt in the future, rather than overextended home owners who couldn't afford the debt from day zero. But the effect could be the same.

This may not be a popular opinion, but for me read and retrieve are indicative of a side-effect. I consistently use retrieve to indicate fetching things from database, or remote locations (REST, RPC, whatever). Similarly, read, in the case of a parser or whatnot, indicates that the buffer will be advanced.

Maybe I'm just too biased because I try to have const-correct/mutable-correct code?
It still feels like a hack instead doing it properly. You're doing long pool instead what you should do in first place, which is push.

Again, I did not work with etcd yet, but in consul because it's "RESTful" i when you monitor multiple services you need to maintain multiple requests.

Edit: Reading more about http 2's frames and pipelining, looks like it's possible to use it similar way it's done in ZK[1]. If GRPC allows that then I suppose it indeed solves this problem.

There weren't huge companies with AAA credit ratings making horses. Railroads did have bond financing, but the decline has been extremely slow. VCR companies also made DVD players and other consumer electronics, so no bankruptcies have resulted. Radio is still pretty big.

Newspapers might be the closest parallel, but they haven't completely crashed yet and might well bounce back.
The comment you responded to isn't about unions either. To re-paraphrase it: "Progress isn't made by small increases in quantity, but large changes brought by doing something completely differently." Or "Progress doesn't usually happen iteratively, but in great bounds when fundamental assumptions are challenged".

The things that you listed are examples of that kind of progress.

I do think doctors have a hard and stressful job but they are mostly well compensated. A while back I was wondering who were owning the most expensive homes in our city. Turned out 7 out of 10 were doctors and the others made money being a CEO/executive of a tech company. I was expecting more technology/engineering people given that is is in the middle of the bay area.
This is what I'm wondering. Did they fail to adequately test the quick charge feature or do they have a supply chain issue?

Children who have been abused themselves are more likely to be abusive. But it is still a minority of them who are abusive and this does not explain why some people who were not abused as kids are abusive. Furthermore, some kids from bad homes are incredibly committed to making sure their kids get something better, the way some children of alcoholics simply will not touch a drop of alcohol.

The future is unwritten. We all make choices. I would rather be asking how we can give parents more support generally and improve outcomes generally than be trying to come up with some kind of Minority Report-esque means to find people guilty of things they haven't yet done, thus may not actually do. It is possible to push people into bad behavior by putting them in a position where it doesn't matter what they do, they are presumed guilty. This is part of why things like racism and classism are such big problems.
Charging a 60 kWh battery in two hours requires average power of 30 kilowatts, i.e. about ten times more power than available from a regular household outlet. So you really need proper fast charging infrastructure.

It's not clear. If nobody else addresses the problem, or if someone else does it only with condition that this company also participates, or if not enough of others is working on it - in all these cases, and others, footing the bill could be beneficial for shareholders.
There's no "right move" in this situation. If they delayed the recall and it was proved the battery was the culprit, then then there will be reports that the company knew it was the battery weeks earlier and didn't do anything about it. They had a tough choice to make, and they took the option that puts the consumers' well-being first, and that is the right choice in my opinion. It might be the right choice financially, but not everything is about money.
And to a de-facto government.
I'm not sure this is universal, but locales which use a period for a thousands separator use a comma as a decimal point, and vice-versa.
I think the idea is batteries enable people to use other sources of energy for transportation.

Not explained in the article is there is a threshold effect in play here. Electric cars are probably cheaper on a per mile basis now, but not on a capital basis. However batteries are coming down in price so fast that within a decade we may find that electric cars are cheaper on a capital basis. If that happens, gasoline cars will stop being produced overnight.

Other one that people don't consider as much is that outside the united states and a few other oil producing countries oil imports are considered to be a necessary evil. If the governments of those places think that they can run their transportation infrastructure without oil, they'll switch as fast as possible and erect very stiff taxes to reduce demand for oil imports. AKA do the rulers of China like that they need to import oil? No they absolutely hate that. Which is to say inside the US oil companies have a lot of economic and political power, outside the US governments hate and fear them.

Both of these means that demand for oil could start falling rapidly. That will depress the price, any producer that can't economically produce at the new price will be bankrupt. Any oil exploration business will go bankrupts.

No, but for example in my last office job the 3 company founders tended to be walking along the main hallway of the office a lot for various reasons, and my desk was behind a glass wall along that hallway, and in one gig i was in an open plan office where people were moving around me and everyone else all the time.

I was replying to the query as to whether England would have ended up more like the Nordic.

My reply was that the Norman lords were literally Norse.

Christianity had spread to Scandinavia by this time too. Everyone involved was Christian, and from the 1000 foot view the Anglo Saxons, Danes, Norse, Normans and even Gauls were much the same. Feudalism was evolution not revolution, although William used the opportunity to install lords who owed him. After his death the tail end of Norman rule was just as chaotic and splintered as the pre Norman infighting.

For the zombie problem, Consul has always deregistered dead nodes (and their associated services) automatically after 72 hours. Consul 0.7 added the ability to define a health check attribute called "deregister_critical_service_after" which will deregister a service automatically if a check is failed for longer than this value. This helps clean up services from processes that register themselves that might not get shut down cleanly for whatever reason.

Details are here - https://www.consul.io/docs/agent/checks.html.

When my dad grew up on a farm, the world was slower and quieter. When I moved back home during my divorce with my two teenaged sons, my parents lived on the edge of town with no cell phones or computers and you could hear a pin drop in their house at night. No one called them ADHD or accused them of suffering from some disorder or suggested their odd lifestyle was accommodation for some condition where they can't cope with distractions. They were just old.

The world has changed and sped up and kids who don't cope with life these days get all kinds of labels. For all we know, they would be fine if they were growing up on a quiet farm with a more organic pace of life and disconnected from our many gadgets and what not -- as was the norm for everyone on the planet not too many decades ago.

If you look at history, each era has some widespread "mental health" issue. Modern peoples consider many of these labels bogus. For example, at one time women were believed to suffer a condition known as "Hysteria" which was treatable with medically induced hysterical paroxysms -- aka orgasms: https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/all-about-sex/201303/hy...

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/21/female-hysteria_n_4...

http://www.motherjones.com/media/2012/05/hysteria-sex-toy-hi...

You would be well advised to be skeptical of extremely widespread cases of "mental disease" found to be prevalent in a particular generation during a particular time span. In another generation, they are likely to have a different explanation and ADHD may well be a term that only occurs in history books and articles mocking the concept.

At my work, we have figured out a way to do this completely automated. We use Packer + Ansible for creating the AMI, Terraform to setup AWS and launch 3 Consul instances based on the AMI.

Last part is we have Go program (started with Bash) to do the joining.

It finds all the Consul server nodes (using tags) and then runs `consul join` until it succeeds.

There's a bunch of error checking and timeouts and such to make sure it works correctly.

I'm hoping to post a blog post about this in the next month or so.
Timeline: Female Hysteria and the Sex Toys Used to Treat It (NSFW)
The article suggests that the other option wasn't "delay the recall" but "kill the phone". The fact that "kill the phone" came after "send supposedly safe replacements" is what was fatal, not the early recall.

i.e. they thought they had enough evidence to damn one battery manufacturer, but the truth was the problem was elsewhere, and they still don't know. Faced with continuing problems and no known cause, if they'd pre-emptively pulled the phone, the hope is that they'd be seen as looking out for their customers.

The Sky This Week for October 21 to October 30
Great work. When I loaded the page I even thought to myself, oh shit this is fast.

One huge problem, with most large platforms for e-commerce stores, they are terrible at speed optimization!

For example, I have a store on Shopify and it's basically impossible to do most of what you explained. With Shopify, you can customize HTML / SCSS files with dynamic content. All of which gets compiled on their back-end. You have no access to the final compiled HTML and markup. You're sadly limited in what you can do.

It seems you need to have a custom store to really be able to optimize this hard-core.
