Here in China food supply channels are not as centralized / supermarket-dominated as in many western environments, particularly the US, UK and Australia, so central grading plays a lesser role. That said, one of our model's features is the ability to adapt recipes based upon available ingredients. For example, we are able to use visually unattractive vegetables for soups or stocks, and more attractive ingredients in visible recipes, or even substitute alternative ingredients (with customer approval) if something in particular is unavailable.

You can generate a wallet on a computer that isn't connected to the internet and then get someone to send money to it. A wallet is just a bunch of fancy cryptographic tools, none of which need to be online. Once you are ready to spend your Bitcoins, then you'll need to communicate with the blockchain, but not before.

Ransoms are not paid with clean cash. They are paid with marked bills. If you take a ransom and, after taking some precautions, wait a year then meet up with someone in another country it's pretty likely you'll get away with it. If you have someone you trust in a location that's out of reach for the authorities it's even easier. It isn't like the FBI is busting down the doors of the encrypted HD ransomers.
well, i'd say: this now is the minimum viable product, from here on people can improve to make what it should be.

It's like indispensable, strongly recommended or good idea level of requirement?
You jest but it's an interesting proposition.

By forcing contracts onto the host and removing the ability of the host to edit and negotiate the contract it can be argued in a British court that Airbnb is in fact renting from the host, and that any legal infractions or damages in subsequent sublets of that rented space are AirBnB's responsibility.

I don't have a copy of the hosts contract, but the items to watch out for are:

- anything preventing the host from contacting guests after the let

- anything preventing the host from letting the space elsewhere in between Airbnb lets

- inability of the host to impose legally binding requirements on the guests

- anything preventing the host from pursuing legal action against guests (eg, forcing the use of arbitration)

Without three of the four I would be unlikely to challenge it personally. Though two not including the third might be enough.
Is there anyone doing something along those lines already?

I have a side business doing Film restoration and am not aware of any solution like that. Probably the best upscale solution there is is from Teranex, acquired by BlackMagic Design. Evertz probably also has something in their offering.

Probably. Most I have seen are entire apartments wgere you see the host for a few minutes at the beginning and a few at the end.
It probably depends on number of electric appliances.

If you live where you have electric heating/cooling, electric water boiler, electric stove/oven, you'll burn a lot of electricity. I burn 2500-3000kW/year in 1B apartment, but except heating/cooling - everything is electricity. If I had a gas stove and hot water I'd probably use less than 1/3 of that.

Also I'd guess that in US people do not built as well insulated buildings as in Europe, thus more power for heating/cooling

The earliest 3D games I played were on my first computer, the Atari 800XL. "Rescue on Fractalus"[1] (1984) had very impressive 3D fractal[2] mountains at ~1-2 fps. It's

The graphics in "Ballblazer"[3] (1994) were a lot simpler, which was mainly sprites over a checkerboard perspective-rendered plane with no camera rotation. However, this was rendered fast with a split-screen for two players.

LucasArts was "faking" the 3D in both cases, but they achieved very impressive results in both games given the extremely limited hardware (MOS 6502 at 1.79 MHz, 64k RAM).

The NHTSA are fine with auto-braking - indeed, they want it to be standard on all cars in the future[1]. What they're not OK with is companies marketing glorified cruise control as a self-driving feature. Elon Musk likes to lump his implementation of both under the same "Autopilot" umbrella for PR reasons, but you can have the former without the latter - indeed, I'm pretty sure the most prominent example he gave of the former saving a life was wityh the latter switched off.

The protected class citizens have a line drawn somewhere. The federal courts agree for roommates, you can discriminate because a roommate is a more intimate relationship than selling a house or renting out a house.

Since AirBnB is supposedly sharing...I don't see how that's different from getting roommates. They would have to reclassify their whole stance on being about "sharing economy" and admit they are more for renting homes than sharing homes, and not allow of renting out a hoise while the owner also lives there.

While they are at it, they can get Uber to reclassify themselves as a taxi company too.
To convert that to kWh, assuming a 10-15c/kWh rate, that would equate to 40,000-60,000 kWh per year in the SW and 6,400-9,600 kWh in the NE.

My figure for a 4 bed house in the UK is about 4,800 kWh per year.

I have a solar installation which makes it slightly harder to work out what I've actually used - I know what I've generated, and what I've paid for, but since the metering isn't net that doesn't quite let me work out actual usage.

I have however got a very nifty graph of my solar generation (3.8kW roof system, 56N Scotland): https://flatline.org.uk/daystats.html

What I think you can see if you poke about the graph is that solar is very variable in practice. There are days in summer when it doesn't break 500W at all, and in winter there's basically nothing for a couple of months.

I'm happy with the installation and its return in feed-in-tariffs, but I wouldn't consider going off-grid unless I had to and had space to put up a wind turbine.

Edit: my heating and cooking energy comes from mains natural gas, as well; currently this is far cheaper than electricity. Might be useful to include that in comparisons.
I would also like to hear about heat pumps. A lot of information is either white papers or scienceless consumer information, with no middle ground.
DRAM refresh occurs regularly and automatically, think of it as signal regeneration. But this does not correct bit flips, even on ECC memory.

For ECC memory systems your idea is called ECC scrub. The idea is to trigger SBE correction before more bit flips occur, turning it into an unrecoverable or undetectable error. Usually it appears in BIOS as Patrol Scrub (continuously and slowly walk through all memory, slow enough not to contend with active programs) and Demand Scrub. See also https://github.com/andikleen/mcelog

I've never seen a reason for Demand Scrub until now... If the kernel talked to the memory controller to map which pages were which banks it could cause a scrub specific high risk pages (e.g. the kernel as you say) or after X uncached accesses... Or it might be possible to segregate less trusted code to specific bank groups.

https://lackingrhoticity.blogspot.com/2015/05/how-physical-a...

Another approach might be to use memory integrity. Intel SGX has memory encryption and uses a tree of hashes to validate. It has holes against an on-machine attacker, but would defend against bit flips. https://eprint.iacr.org/2016/204.pdf

One of their new projects is to ship heat, stored in phase-change material, from a generation plant to central Bristol on a barge full of SunAmp cells. So it's a similar concept, shipping heat batteries instead of Powerpacks.
>but I promise I'm not trying to be overly pessimistic or critical of what Tesla is doing

The fact that you have to apologize for this on HN nowadays is hilarious. I agree. Both solar panels (and to a lesser extent solar roofing tiles) and the powerwall are have a lot of competition.

The idea looks good, though. I didn't catch pricing details in the presentation?

Dear everyone,

Mercedes is a good marketeer and with best intentions they included protection of hearing in their campaign. I wouldn't blame them for not knowing and after having spent lot's of money on this it could be dissapointing to hear that in fact, the acoustic reflex arc, otherwise known as the stapedius reflex does not protect hearing against loud sounds. It is simply a myth that even among many professionals is believed.

The facts are that the ear's transparency for sounds is traditionally tested with only a single frequency, around 226 Hz, and around that frequency the sound levels get reduced by the acoustic reflex. Thus it seems as if the ear protects itself for loud sounds and the myth is born although it has only been measured at a single frequency.

Technology to measure the same prinicples for a wider frequency range is currently only available for a selective group of researchers and for the industry developing medical instruments in this direction (for which I work). We know that above 1000 Hz the stapedius reflex is doing the opposite of protection. It will increase the sound levels.

I could explain why the reflex is doing this, why did it evolve like this during the last many thousands of years. It is certainly easy to understand that a couple of hundred years ago (before industrialization) no protection for loud sounds was actually needed and thus hearing protection is not a logical candidate for explaining why we have such acoustic reflex...

Though this is not the point. The point is that Mercedes' feature is not protecting your hearing during a collision impact. They made it with best intentions and for that they deserve a compliment and credits.

A little more info about the acoustic reflex that I consider to be correct can be found here: https://youtu.be/3a3Eeuhkh-c?t=1164

This looks cool, but can somebody point me towards the details? As in, I'm a semantics / pl-theory person and want to know wtf is going on...
Let's be honest about something about BTC: It's price is where it is because nerds understand mathematics and realize that the Bitcoin goes to the moon if it becomes the new standard international settlement currency. If all or most states prohibit, then this element goes away and the price collapses in a selling spree. I agree that the black market needs a tool, but it doesn't have to be this.

As for #2, I agree that that was a bigger risk early on, but the problem with taking on a second or third currency is it leads to the question of "what stops a fourth or fifth?" it's sort of a recursive proof that could lead you to conclude that either all crypto-currencies will be worthless or one will win. Since crypto-currencies are so inherently useful they probably aren't going to 0, so now the task is finding the winner. And despite ETH being more useful in some regards, and despite Burstcoin or Peercoin having better fundamentals it seems to be that the market has centralized around Bitcoin so out of the CC that exist today, for now I'd put BTC as a 99% chance to own the market 10 years from now if there is one.
No need for the profanity.

I am stating that if a replacement machine doesn't do what the previous generation did, its user base will shrink as it will no longer be useful to the same user base. This is precisely what everyone is upset about - it isn't an improvement if we can't use it in the same situation.

Certainly, we have different requirements from the machine. But whilst stating that my user requirements shouldn't be your requirements and that I shouldn't expect them to be, you are then asserting that people who don't fit into your happy requirements set are all "whining"?

Yes this is precisely the situation. So instead of shipping Vulcan, macOS comes with a really old version of opengl. I am not convinced this is ideal.

I'm not following the calculations, maybe I'm sleepy. "can power a two-bedroom home for a full day". They say that is 20kWh (it doesn't change when you say sockets vs entire home...). They say the battery is 14kWh and only recommend one. Huh?

At the current situation it isn't a transition period - the available hardware now dictates that USB C should be used. So there is no transition; transition would imply that the two port sets existed side by side (unfeasible I know).

Let's hope that this jump to USB C encourages the rest of the industry to move along. Given that fuzzy VGA is still on many PCs and displays, I can only imagine how long this period will be.
If the exploit code can do it, why can't the kernel? Rowhammer is only possible because the non privileged code can predict which rows get affected, so surely the kernel can also?
While the addition of anonymity would certainly be appreciated by would-be burglars you seem to be leaving out a small detail. It is trivially easy for a burglar to determine if someone is home. They can just walk up to the front door, knock and see if anyone answers.

If someone is there ask for a glass of water, ask if they have accepted Jesus, ask if Steve lives there or whatever other BS excuse they have ready before simply moving on to another prospect. If no one comes to the door then the home is very likely empty and they can proceed.

This has the added benefit for the burglar that anyone seeing them enter the property will assume they have good reason to be there. After all they marched straight up to the front door and rang the doorbell which is what non-thieves do so its less suspicious if they then go around the side of the house when no one answers.

What a sad and pathetic excuse for discrimination based on culture and values. You're not only generalizing you seem to be in denial. Pay a visit to any popular vacation holiday in Spain or Portugal and test for yourself who are the loud, abnocious and ugly Europeans. We are doing our best to avoid any concentration of brits, Germans and Dutch on our holidays for the exact reason. We recently bought a house in Spain in a place we made sure was not popular with either, for this particular reason. Will be happy to share with you photos of ugly drunken Germans in mas lpalomas, loud and voulgar brits in Barcelona and Ibiza, a city which is struggling to contain this problem, which is mostly due to British visitors, or all of them in place like el Garf. You might want to discriminate based on money, but like the Russians are teaching us, no amount of money in the world can help hide voulgarity. Drumpf btw is of German extract. I'm sure you'll enjoy your company and will probably deserve it.
Must be a server-side dev. Java client-side trainwrecks include: struts, tempest, Java Server Faces, AWT, Swing.

True it's unfair to blame Java alone for these, because client side is more difficult-- we've been searching for solutions for decades in a variety of languages.

Modern front-end is a mush of dozens of tools/contexts, etc. Way more complex than TeX, and way less reliable and with minimal debugging context. But as the Eve guys have said, we're using the same layering of precompilers and interpreters we've always done. It's a mess because it's not just Java (or Python or Ruby) it's CSS HTML JS XML JSON, and the whole rest of the alphabet soup.

It's about time we reconsider platform as a whole again rather than merely a sum of fragments. That's why I find Eve interesting.

IIRC the last XAI approch I read about basically gives you a local linear approximation or Jacobian of the decision surface. You take a look at the biggest terms and call them an explanation. Not too shabby, probably. I don't know if all of the XAI project follows that approach.

Edit: Framing
I imagine that if you trained this on a set of license plate photos, it would be able to enhance license plates illegible to an untrained human such that they're readable. However, I doubt it would be better than a human specifically trained at this task.

I've seen some videos from Cold War satellite photo analysts, and the way they can look at some tiny gray blobs and go "That's a T-64 tank, that's a T-62 tank, that's an SA2 launcher" etc.
This is not the problem. The problem is that Airbnb is making demands on what people do or don't do with their own homes far beyond providing bed and/or breakfast. They're making demands about how people think. My head is not their property. My home is not their property.

It's improper and intolerant of them to make these kinds of demands. In fact, it's a form of totalitarianism to not do business with anyone who doesn't think exactly like us.

As an airbnb guest, I'm respectful of the fact that I'm a guest in someone's home. Their home, their rules. It seems like airbnb is trying to change that dynamic. Now, anyone who wants to be a rude guest can complain about unspecified group think violations. Sad.

A $5000 natural gas generator can run an air conditioner as long as you like. A Powerwall might last an afternoon.

A $1000 generator will provide plenty of power to run everything other than HVAC.

Neither will get you off grid, but neither will a Powerwall until you spend a lot more on solar.
