I suppose you could get some interesting things to happen if you kick the control loop of the regulator into oscillation and set up some resonance; I wrote an old comment here, related to video cameras, that describes one such experience I had:

FWIW there are some clever Magento shops running pretty stout at sub second load times on AWS. Puts Magento back in the upper echelon for carts again, imo.
I'm sure if you're taking a long trip, you'll stop somewhere long enough to charge the battery. Anywhere where you park for a long time can have a charger. A hotel, restaurant, or theme park are examples of places where you will park long enough to charge.

And then you don't need to go out of your way to buy gas!

But, that considered: I see a lot of stories about developments in rapid charging. IMO, in about 5-10 years an EV will be able to charge to 90% capacity in 10 minutes.

That's about as long as I spend at a gas station when I drive long distances. (I usually go to the bathroom, stretch my legs, ect.)
It happens, my wife send me emails during the day. I wouldn't like somebody see it. Or I want to check my personal email, even if I got an email from my other client (well, imaginary - I don't work as freelancer) why somebody should see it?

No. Fund shareholders do not get a proxy vote in the underlying stocks. Not with Vanguard or most large funds anyway. The fund votes. And the fund managers and analysts will have a lot more resources and information on their holdings than fund shareholders.

That being said, there are all sorts of problems with the incentives here.

There's still not a lot of oomph left over to do anything with the traffic...or is that not the point of the exercise? You're not going to be comparing it, or writing it to disk at these levels.

This traffic is a bit above the levels I've dealt with, but I've seen Cloud Datacenter levels of traffic that, as far as I know, you can't practically log/monitor/IPS/SIEM...or am I misinformed?
I think that's a bit of a false dichotomy. I don't think some portion of the public being swayed by PR is going to stop SpaceX (or other entities) from making real progress. Musk is definitely not giving up on that notion.

If you just mean that it's sad that people need this kind of hyperbole to get excited about space, well, different strokes for different folks. You don't need it, they do.
The sad thing about these situations is that the client will basically not face any consequences for this behavior, the freelancer will only look bad because of their complaining here, and even UpWork will look callous in their handling of the situation. No winners.

That said, one bit of advice: never ever start work without a clear and signed Scope of Work document, and never ever accept access credentials until you are actively engaged.
If you're interested in social reasoning and nested inference models, there's some examples of how they're implemented in WebPPL here: http://agentmodels.org/chapters/7-multi-agent.html. I think many of the reasoning examples from forestdb that are currently written in Church could be translated into WebPPL in a fairly straightforward manner using the same structure as the agentmodels examples.
What we learned about Elon Musk’s Mars plan in his Reddit AMA
Get up early, and try not to do anything before getting started on what you wanted to do. If you have a place you can go to that is not your home to go do it, go there and avoid staying home. If you are depressed like now, because Sunday is already gone, plan to get up at least a couple of hours earlier than you normally would tomorrow, and use those two hours to at least start doing some of what you wanted to do.
And it still is an issue
Are Elon's mining/tunneling droids discussed anywhere? He's said in the past the Earth cities need to "go 3D", putting cars in tunnels underground. Something needs to be done to cut the cost of tunneling, so I'm interested to learn more.

> Initially, glass panes with carbon fiber frames to build geodesic domes on the surface, plus a lot of miner/tunneling droids. With the latter, you can build out a huge amount of pressurized space for industrial operations and leave the glass domes for green living space

Michael Dell wrote, that every time Dell doubled in size they had to reinvent their processes.

The good ol' USA has grown by orders of magnitude. And we're still trying to use the same rules that worked for horses and written letters and muskets. We've rarely even revisited the rules, much less rewrite them.

Yes I think its a fragile thing, that depends upon the good will of the people executing the processes. When they brag about how they're going to twist the rules for personal vendettas, then we should all worry.
Hey @zbraniecki, thanks for the work you're doing. I use type=number cautiously for self-built tools for my own use, but so far have avoided it in production code. Thanks to your effort maybe someday I'll be able to use this 'for real'!
Where I work, the hardest scaling problem we face really boils down to lots of users contending for the same resources. It's very possible that HotelTonight sees the same issues around room availability.
I'm going to answer this two-fold and relate it to what I'm going through. Feel free to shoot me some advice as well.

On the surface, you clearly don't have passion driving what it is you want to do.
I can relate to this because I'm learning to code. It was a struggle until I found Codewars, at which point I was able to easily turn on some music and sink hours at a time solving coding challenges.
Turns out that the skill of solving these things doesn't transfer to.. anything. I struggle to sit still going through any tutorial and I still have no idea how to build things.
So, on the surface, find something that motivates you.

Digging deeper, this inability to finish anything I start seems like a personal issue. I've worked a lot harder than this before.
I think there are facets of my life, and probably yours, that need to be put into order first.

There's a satisfaction with life that I've had before and currently it's missing. I'm unable to stick with anything because I immediately seek cheaper forms of satisfaction. I think attaining a more genuine satisfaction with myself would eliminate this urge.
Maybe you feel similar.

Also it obviously sucks to do things alone. Meetups, even when they lead to nothing, are still a big source of motivation. Personally I notice my productivity correlates with how often I'm going to meetups.

Oh the link above mentioned proxy votes, but to be honest I only skimmed it.

Yes what you say does sound worrisome.
To impose a secrecy tax on conspiratorial organizations. [1]

Even if the documents are misinformation, publishing them damages the ability of the organization to carry on its conspiratorial activities, eg, make and carry out secret plans. Internal, private communications (eg, emails), a powerful tool, also have a PR liability. Secrecy tax.

You also have to consider personal cost. Do you enjoy writing, and do you have a strong interest in a field worth writing about? Then great, this could be a productive use of time for you both personally and financially. There's nothing wrong with doing things that make your life worth living.
"[M]isinformation spreads more rapidly with less likelihood of being countered than accurate information. Facebook and others have done studies to show that."

Ouch. As much as I'd like to imagine this isn't the case, my gut tells me it's true.

If you happen to have references to such studies at hand, would you mind providing them? If not, no big deal. I'm sure I can find them with a little searching.

"Reputation and moderation systems should probably be designed with that as an assumption built-in."

I agree. There are two pieces to this as well: (a) discouraging undesirable behavior and (b) encouraging desirable behavior. Reputation systems are harder to implement as well if you allow for anonymous behavior, which I think there is a place for. What does reputation mean if it's not something that sticks with an individual?

I always enjoy seeing stuff like this. While it may not make a ton of economic sense for a guy working at Google, I'm happy to see people fill niche knowledge spaces because they can.

It's interesting that the paperback copies sold the best -- I would guess it's because these books are given as gifts (and bought by parents). If anyone has data on this behavior for fiction I'd be interested to hear it (I publish an online science fiction magazine, compellingsciencefiction.com).

The Podesta emails is thousands of files and are still being released every day by WikiLeaks. Anyone can search them here https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/ But it's so many that you really have to spend some time digging.

That may be so. But should we not refrain from shooting the messenger? The message he brings is important.

About Assange's anti-Hillary bias: it may be a personal affair, but there is something also of objective interest. Of course, Trump is a monster/clown. And probably Russia does not want Clinton. However, I am sure Saudi Arabia prefers Clinton. How many wars are going to worsen? That's not very comforting to me.

Their scapegoat was the model. In reality they could probably make a model that gave whatever rating the client desired. That is the fraud, they weren't working in the interest of the investors they were working in the interests of the investment bankers.

True.
"A young queer kid in Boston stole some very shocking videos from his IT job and gave them to a man in a chat room, who published them online. That's all it takes to change the world now."

Sort of. They started as an organization whose site was designed to provide anonymity with the promise they had lots of people to process the stories and protect sources. That's already different than just randomly publishing something online with arbitrary site, maintainers, terms, etc. It's a narrow start. They were totally ignored, though.

Then, someone on the inside of a large bank bought into their claims after they did a lot of promotional work. That leak did real damage. This created a PR effect boosting them into consciousness of many parties. The highest-profile guy promising to be expert on anonymity, hacking, protecting sources, etc convinced that Boston boy to deliver documents to him. He published them to significant effect although I don't know about changing the world as America is still screwing up Middle East, people in power stayed in power, no convictions for proven fraud, and so on. That guy... later woman... did get put in prison, though. Organization got destroyed by U.S. banking elite when it was foolish enough to think it could target a major bank here without consequences. Turns out cash fuels Internet revolutionaries as much as the bad guys and cutting it off plus legal pursuit was all it took. Only still publishing because he was offered diplomatic protection in an embassy plus his opponents have little imagination.

So, the situation is much more complex than your post suggests with most people just publishing stuff on the Internet failing to get change and easily shutdown. The amount of misinformation that benefits establishment spreading the same way dwarfs anything activists are doing with recent elections showing establishment is doing great on social media keeping people fighting over two, dirty candidates. Conclusion is that Wikileaks' unique circumstances led to its significant leaks that had questionable effect before it was decimated by a simple funding block at banking level. And that was supposedly the greatest success story of anonymous, leaking organizations.

Gives me high hopes let me tell you...
I chose my software stack with scalability in mind: team scalability and rapid iteration (we started with Rails, displacing a Node.js implementation that was poorly designed and messily implemented). Because of that previous proof-of-concept implementation we needed to replace, we were forced into a design (multiple services with SSO) that complicated our development and deployment, but has given us the room to manoeuvre while we work out the next growth phase (which will be a combination of several technologies, including Elixir, Go, and more Rails).

One thing we didn’t choose up front, because it’s generally a false optimization (it looks like it will save you time, but in reality it hurts you unless you really know you need it), is anything NoSQL as a primary data store. We use Redis heavily, but only for ephemeral or reconstructable data.

The reality is, though, you have to know and learn the scalability that your system needs and you can only do that properly by growing it and not making the wrong assumptions up front, and not trying to take on more than you are ready for. (For me, my benchmark was a fairly small 100 req/sec, which was an order of magnitude or two larger than the Node.js system we replaced, and we doubled the benchmark on our first performance test. We also reimplemented everything we needed to reimplement in about six months, which was the other important thing. My team was awesome, and most of them had never used Rails before but were pleased with how much more it gave them.)
Not sure what HNs opinion of this will be....

I used to have similar issues. It was mostly down to procrastination and overwork/stress.

Weekends were really bad since I was so busy/stressed from the week that I would get into an attitude of "i'll start doing it in an hour" and eventually it was so late that it was too late to get any work done. I had a lot to do, just very little impetus to do it now.

Fixed it by starting to smoke pot. Not even kidding. I set a timeline for my weekends for when I was working and when I was done. When I work, I work. When I'm done, I go smoke. Basically every weekend for a few months.

I've probably tripled, if not more, my weekend productivity by giving myself a defined period of work and a defined period of relaxation and a reward for getting there.
I fill them with nonsense words unrelated to the question. Mother's maiden name? Fire truck. First car? Air conditioner.

If I have to call a company they always ask me why. The explanation is anyone who has me as a Facebook friend can figure out who my first girlfriend was, my maternal grandmother's first name, my mother's maiden name, where I was born, my first car, etc. And if every company has the same data, a data breach at one makes the entire system fall apart.http://www.passwordmanagers.net/resources/Recovery-Mode-with...

Black Mirror tackles one of the hardest problems about technical: How society changes around it.

We spend such a long time talking about the latest cutting edge hardware, new algorithms, new problems that can now be solved, but it's too easy to forget that people are part of this system too.

There's a great film from the 60's [1] that talks about the house of the future. It predicts online shopping and other modern appliances easily, however it is completely blind to any social change. The wife is still a housewife, the husband still goes to work and so on.

As we produce more and more new tech I think media such as Black Mirror are a great way to explore some of the more human implications.

I'm holding hope for an actual political act to happen - there is remarkably much for the alt-right and the left to agree on, if the ideas can be put forth in such a way that they aren't wedged against each other. If the democratic party becomes the moderate republican party then you'll see a lot of the left break away.
