>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).

Drivers of electric cars can choose their electricity source. Whether they want to pay more for green electricity is up to them. If there is demand more green electricity will be produced. With a ICE there is no choice.

>Frankly, i've been wondering for the past few years what percentage of a modern car's production cost is actually the gas engine.

I don't care about that. I've already paid 30% of my cars value just for the gasoline alone. Even if I had to pay 30% more for an electric car then it would still be worth it because of tax benefits and less maintenance.

I don't mean this in a negative way but aren't there thousands of jobs between HN and angellist?

If you can't find a job that inspires you maybe there is something wrong in one of your assumptions about either what inspires you or what it means to work a job.

I would definitely recommend applying to a few and seeing if anything sticks and then try to see if you enjoy the work.
It'd be great if someone wrote three lines explaining why one would believe each of those, why it's wrong, and why that's important.
Cool project. You could end up with somewhat of a goldmine of data. Even with quite a bit of interest for the local government. Here in Denmark, they talked about making a register that the government could access in cases where the investigation warrented it(whatever that means).
The point being; that no one seems to have an overview of all cameras present. The law here, as I understand it, prohibits businesses and private people from filming anything other than their own premises and directly in front of. But some probably film more and could be useful in mapping 'suspects' routes to and from the crime.

Connecting Linked and Open Data
I think we pretty much agree. Rights and morality are pretty closely related, so when the court rules on rights, it's pretty close to morality.

I think what upsets people about "legislating from the bench" is things like at least 25 states pass laws or constitutional amendments banning some form of homosexual marriage [1], which clearly reflects a substantial will-of-the-people, and the Supreme Court overrules the expressed will of the people and says it's unconstitutional. So now these people, have to live in a society that legally tolerates something they think is wrong and/or harmful to society long-term. Regardless of your view of whether the Court was "right," you can certainly see why people would be upset with this. No matter what the Court rules, someone is going to be unhappy, but given that homosexuals are 3% of the population and are driving the other 97% (which had expressed their desires through the democratic process), you can see the problem.

(I think this is why conservative Christians are voting for Trump in large numbers, despite the fact that many of them think he is not a good candidate. They are voting for a Supreme Court nominator, not a government leader. As a conservative Christian myself, I think this is foolish, but there it is.)

I liked the previous episodes and watched a couple of the new episodes. I really wanted to like them but it's like the writers are both trying too hard to capitalise on the obvious "trends" and not really understanding the tech deeply enough at the same time.

Self replicating, 3d printing miniature robot drone bees, that fly indefinitely on solar power and handle pollination for a whole country? And yet nothing else in their future tech (mobiles, cars, computers) has changed from what it is like now? Cmon

> DPDK is taking the industry in the wrong direction, and application developers should fight back.

DPDK is doing the exact same work you did, make hardware vendor release their driver API and abstract it away so that Application developer can stay independent from it.

You "successfully lobbyied" for one API to be released. Now do that for any number of hardware, NICs versions, and in the end you will have to release a generic API, which is effectively a new DPDK.

Completely independent applications will only go so far. You are left with a vendor lock-in with a very high upfront cost if you ever need to evolve your hardware.
I think it is very undemocratic to even suggest that that you might not accept the results. In fact, it is even slimier, because it provides maximal disruption in trust of the democratic system while allowing him to claim exactly what you are saying.

> they just didn't leave the same queasiness-about-possible-future-dystopia

Actually for me they do. Maybe I'm more sensitive to this than others but I've seen the first two and both left me rather disoriented, alomst detached from reality, the first minutes after watching them. I only reach such a state through brilliant (from my point of view, I guess) film or music, or by using drugs. So: no complaints here :]

E.g. I really like how the first episode makes you not only reflect on a possible-but-too-close future that looks horrible to live in, but at the same time reminds you to realize maybe it's already a reality for some people today - possible including yourself, and that in a broader sense it has been like that all throughout history.

And by "it'd be great", what you really mean is "the article is completely useless without them". Half of the items are "no shit"; another 20% is "huh?", and the remaining are "that might be interesting to learn more about - but with no additional information, I don't even have enough keywords to Google to find out more".

Healthcare could easily get costs controlled precisely by being a consumer market. If we wrote the checks for our health care ourselves, and if there weren't laws against publishing prices for procedures, and insurance companies could operate in all states, then there would be tremendous lowering of costs in a very short time.

When Greece was trying to sort out its default, it outsourced tax collection to its utility companies as part of the bailout.

Because the utility companies were good at getting paid? It was because everyone in Greece was evading taxes through cash-only businesses and self-employment, so the government had a hard time collecting tax. It's not some big conspiracy.
> I just want to say that I think there is a huge amount of FUD about how you can and cannot build your technology as a regulated entity – and in particular as a bank. In reality, close to 100% of requirements from a regulator will tell you _what_ you must build, not _how_ you must build it. Even then, especially in terms of resilience and security, they are almost always a subset of our own requirements.

I'm not sure what your involvement here is, and mine is limited (thankfully) to a substantial distance. However, I think there is a rather big difference between different FI's experience; because it's a true game of politics.

When investigating if Level Money should be a bank (and learning that almost no one wants to be a bank, it's very hard to make money just being a direct-to-consumer deposit bank unless you're quite scaled), I basically had a surprisingly credulous audience because the CFPB was basically willing to doorbuster anything that they thought would spur the big banks to action. It was... very surprising to ultimately decide that it was impossible for financial reasons to actually succeed at being a bank.

But they will insist on things that every bank should have, like a credible way for analytics to run in an environment where the raw data is not subject to exfiltration by a compromised data scientist's machines without an audit trail a mile wide.

Good luck to you.

Interesting. What metrics? Has it worked so far?
I tried to write up a little about the ones that I know something about, here it is:

Data on the network cannot be altered.

False, if something goes through another device, it can be altered. Important because, well, man in the middle.

Encrypted data on the network cannot be altered.

Same as the above. Harder, but still doable

Data cannot be accidentally corrupted, because TCP has checksums and Ethernet has CRCs

This is about like saying "only 1 bit can be flipped at once, so parity checking will always catch it"

If it's inside my perimeter firewall, that means I have total control over it (@armorguy)

Similar to the top ones, still harder, but it's a weak point if someone gets into your perimeter at all.

Packets arrive in the order in which they were sent.

Completely false, though TCP will reorder them back to the original order for you.

If you can't ping the target, then it doesn't exist. (@jjarmoc)

Trivial to make a host not respond to pings

If you can ping the target, then it does exist.

Again, trivial to make a router or any device respond to pings for a lot of IPs

TCP RSTs come from end-nodes.

Devices in the middle sending RSTs is really common, google "comcast rst packets"

Bytes must be "swapped" from the network byte-order to the host CPU byte-order.

IP/TCP and such protocol bytes must be swapped. The only thing that cares at the application layer is the application code, it can just say "everything is little endian" and be done with it.

It's an internal web app -- outsiders won't be able to discover where it is (@biosshadow)

if this is about a "exposed under an obscure name", the tools like fierce can probe for it. If it's exposed to the internet at all, consider it under attack at all times.

The DHCP address will be the same after a reboot (@shewfig)

Not necessarily true, depends on the DHCP server and such.

The DHCP address will remain the same until the next reboot.

You get a lease time, OBSERVE IT. Don't just keep using it cause you say "this is mine still!"

Well, it'll last a long time between changes

One culprit is coffeeshops, there have been reports of coffeeshops with 30 minute lease times. I've seen cable modems hand out 30 second leases, but that was when it was still trying to connect to the cable side, so it wanted the computer to keep checking back

The DHCP server and local router are the same (@schrotthaufen)

Not at all a requirement, and would cause your packets to go off into nowhere if you tried to rely on it.
That is absolutely disgusting and tragic. I am so sorry for your loss.
Communism/Marxism =/= tyranny and brutal dictatorships. They aren't mutually exclusive, but one doesn't imply the other. There was Marxism and tyranny in the Soviet Union, modern China only has tyranny.
A better solution is for each physical instance of a device to have a default password that is strong and unique (and encoded in the firmware, such that a factory reset of the device doesn't make it default to a non-unique PW).

There are a few other ways to handle the problem of securing endpoint devices. For example, for devices that are intended to use a local aggregator, gateway, or proxy of some sort you can get around the issue (and improve the UX) by avoiding passwords entirely, and requiring that the device instead be paired with a base station through a physical action the user performs (pressing a button on both, knocking them together, etc.) instead.
Future Timeline
plausibility isn't the point - the scfi devices used are for reduction-ad-absurdum, to zoom-in on aspects of our current society.

Also, in the real world some things develop faster than others. In San Junipero they can perfectly simulate a world and upload people into the cloud (heaven), but they can't cure quadriplegia with stem-cells. That's ok because all science and tech doesn't move at the same pace: some tech grows very fast while other techs never get funding and die by whatever market-force fashions.

What you need is basically to become more aware of the value of your time.

Every day you get 86400 minutes offered to you. You can either not do anything with it or use it to accomplish your goals.

Time is on of the only things you can't buy. Every one is equal on this level, this si the most precious and the most volatile ressource everyone has.

But first you must define your goals precisely.

So stop whatever you are doing, get a piece of paper and write what you want to accomplish within 1 week, 1 month, 1 year.

That done, try planning your week ends so that you get shit done and eventually your accomplish your 1 week, 1 month, 1 year goal.

Helpful to keep to you schedule : identify your "time stealer". All those things that wast your time like useless tv, uninterested facebook posts and so on. Realize that every minute you spend doing something you consider useless is wasted.

Then, most important, try getting some rest BEFORE being tired : that way you won't procrastinate in the "I might rest just a little while before i get to it" spirit.

I hope this can be helpful to you. I just spend the last year trying to get out of the loop you're talking about so I know exactly how you feel about it. I'm succeeding one little step after the other.

It's a lot of discipline, but I can tell you the trip is worth the effort.
I understand your perspective. If you are satisfied with using a vendor-provided software stack to interface with hardware then you are well catered for by DPDK and do not have to care what is under the hood.

I feel that the hardware-software interface is fundamental and that vendors should not control the software. I see an analogy to CPUs. I am really happy that CPU vendors document their instruction sets and support independent compiler developers. I would be disappointed if they started keeping their instruction sets confidential, available only under NDA, and told everybody to just use their LLVM backend without understanding it.

And when you're actually taking games to market, all that non-game code makes up a huge percentage of the development cost. It's highly predictable code that most game devs have done many times before (which is why I always argue that once the gameplay is locked and loaded, which it should be before you go into large-team production [if there are still big changes to make, you should stay in prototype and not have a full team doing production quality art, UI, sound, servers, etc that might need to be replaced], mobile game dev projects should always be waterfall, not agile), but it's still a lot of work, and it can't ever be 100% reused.

Speaking just to mobile, you need to add, on top of "the game" itself:

- scalable persistence that handles play on multiple devices and platforms (add load testing to this if you're "Doing It Right")
- in-app-purchase integration
- metrics instrumentation, collection, analysis, etc.
- social integration: authentication, sharing, invites, leaderboards, etc., often with backend components, not to mention the hell that is integrating with social SDKs and keeping them all up to date
- dynamic content loading, if your game is too big to fit in the ipa/apk
- TOS, legal, COPPA compliance dialogs/data filtering
- a proper audio integration (chances are your initial approach, whatever it was, won't work for a full game)
- dynamically loaded variables system (can't do an App Store push every time you need to change something about the game tuning)
- A/B testing
- customer service mechanisms
- ads
- push and local notifications
- user acquisition attribution (to know which ad networks are effective at pushing users)
- landing page optimization
- platform nonsense (a carrier just pushed a new version of Android to one of their phones that has a crappy GPU driver whose bugs are only fully exposed in the latest OS version? Congrats, now half of your shaders draw black squares, have fun tracking that one down, esp. since that particular driver/chipset combo only exists in phones sold in Canada and eastern Europe!)
- and so on, when I was in this field we'd end up with lists 40-50 items long of basic stuff that every game needs, along these lines

It gets really messy, "the game" is really just the barest start. All the stuff I listed above can easily take 50%+ of total man-hours in a dev cycle, even if you have well-factored code from other games to work off of, just because it all requires game-specific UI and design (both of which always have some non-zero code cost).

I imagine single-player premium desktop games are quite a bit simpler, but I've never had the pleasure.

I get what you mean, but as far as I can see your first two paragraphs only amount to conjecture. I don't see how you can draw any conclusions about ADHD from that.

I do know of these cases, of course, but the field of mental illness is very much different today than what it was in the days of "Hyesteria" - both with regards to diagnostics, and to research. For instance, there are well known structural and functional abnormalities associated with certain mental illnesses - which would seem to imply that the current categorizations aren't completely off.

While you may be right in the technical sense that future research can make our current understanding obsolete, I don't think there's any doubt that some people suffer as a consequence of what is currently conceptualised as a behavioural disorder called ADHD.
I think it's interesting that this submission gained quite a lot of upvotes without any discussion.
