"Ventilation, heating and delivering light for photosynthesis require vast amounts of electrical energy, which, according to the article, comes mainly from diesel."

They must have forgotten about thermodynamics. Even with LED lighting, there's still a fair amount of generated heat to deal with. Also, with LED lighting, you reduce the amount of light actually required for growth as you focus on the more actively-utilized wavelengths of light.

As long as they use the diesel for controlling atmospherics, the rest of the place could easily be done on solar + sufficient battery bank. Arctic and Antarctic insolation is actually much higher than a good portion of the globe. [1]

At this point, if the prototypes that are being tested in space really do produce useful thrust, I couldn't care less what the physics behind it are.

Propellantless propulsion would be a HUGE boon for space travel.
Haha wow look at this sensationalist headline. The blog post they wrote actually frames it pretty generously! Did anyone expect this to last forever?

Maybe I'm biased though because I ordered mine before the cutoff date :D
>> My intuitive belief is that P is unequal to NP, but the only supporting arguments I can offer are the failure of all efforts to place specific NP-complete problems in P by constructing polynomial-time algorithms.

Actually, there has been tremendous incremental progress in inventing better and better algorithms for NP Complete problems. As a result, these problems are more deeply understood now.
I think that the gap to poly time is closing fast.

Contrast that with the almost complete absence of progress in proving P != NP.

Also, from a practical viewpoint, many NP Complete problems of industrial size are now solved routinely.

It's not like the rest of the economy is immune from inflation though. Do we adjust everything for inflation? It just strikes me as pointless complication. Really, the only point I can think of is comparing saving to outright immediate spending.
This is really intriguing and seems like a strong fit for my use-cases. What are your plans to expand to other datacenters?

I actually started drifting away from Perl not that long after it became object oriented, it kind of felt like a bad fit, it lost its "perlness". I assumed that even if it had evolved it would be further along the same path so I wasn't interested.

But more importantly, NOBODY I know and rate has come to me and told me "You know what? Perl has moved on, it's actually become a wicked language, you should give it a shot". Whereas that has happened to other languages that I had given up on (ActionScript, JS, PHP) and I had no problem going back to them.

As for MySQL, seriously? Are there people who think that in 2016? I find it hard to believe. One thing is a programming language, but for a RDBMS it's just a matter of time before all the feature developer wants get added. With MySQL it's just a matter of "so what's version is it now, have they added them yet?"

Actual announcement: https://www.tesla.com/blog/update-our-supercharging-program

And relevant section:

> For Teslas ordered after January 1, 2017, 400 kWh of free Supercharging credits (roughly 1,000 miles) will be included annually so that all owners can continue to enjoy free Supercharging during travel. Beyond that, there will be a small fee to Supercharge which will be charged incrementally and cost less than the price of filling up a comparable gas car. All cars will continue to come standard with the onboard hardware required for Supercharging.
Yeah, but Go bundles dependency-fetching into the language, via import "github.com/somedude/somerepo". Doing so without supporting versioning makes versioning harder to accomplish via external tools than Java's "do nothing" approach.
/usr/local is explicitly for user/administrator managed software versus /usr being for system managed stuff, it's the correct location for this on any UNIX/POSIX-like system.
I'm curious just how beneficial a giant all inclusive framework is for this. My gut is it will be a huge boon for most of us, but you will still find very valid use cases for rolling your own.

That is, I see this as akin to linked lists. Something that people typically do not do on their own anymore, but those that do typically do so for a very good reason.
I mean, yeah, not everyone, but it was no longer a very divisive issue; most of the community was okay with the outcome even if they disagreed with it. Much better than the previous round where there was a lot more resentment.

Sorry you had to leave.
How would "Twitter" capture that value and not some third-party platform who and offers those filter services? The value and revenue isn't with Twitter then, so then how does Twitter pay bills? Or am I seeing this in a different light than you do?
Yes, it should. But that scares people.
> 15,000 mAh * 5V / 1000 = 75 watt-hours

It would be less, given the (dis)charging efficiency. Quick look at search results suggests about 80% (so ~60Wh), which is still nice for that price though.
"Plenty of this light was in the green area so not absorbed by plants."

This isn't true. The majority of light from an HPS light is green, yet huge crops are grown using that light all the time. Plants utilize almost every visible wavelength (and some invisible wavelengths) to some extent. LEDs generally just focus on the wavelengths that have been determined to be efficiently utilized. It is all however still 100% crop-dependent. Some plants simply hate LED lighting because of the missing spectrum (like my orchids.)
Yes, of course. It would be eminently impractical to try and make a vehicle around supercaps at the moment. That's not the point I was trying to make, though. I was trying to point out the systematic error in thinking.

You've correctly pointed out that the supercaps are too big and heavy and such. But let's just imagine for a moment that they're made of magic and are 5% of the volume and 5% of the weight of batteries. It's still not a good idea to charge them up to then charge the batteries (from fixed charging stations) because then they're better than the batteries full stop. Throw away the batteries and use them the end.

The only way that they make sense is for what you've described, they're electrical buffers to help impedance match "slow" batteries with "fast" motors. But since that wasn't what the parent was asking, I didn't answer that question.
Wouldn't spammers (assuming they're spamming to make money, and therefore likely make more than $0 per spam) also just pay money to be validated in the same way?
It costs a non trivial amount of transistors (when compared with an ascetic RISC core) to load words from arbitrarily aligned addresses. 'RISC' used to be about removing those kinds of features, although the term has been a bit bastardized since then).

MacBook Pro 2016 Dongles: Wifi Stops Working with Dongles
I think you're giving far too much intellectual credit to what is basically just a feminist rant dressed up as concern trolling for the industry.
Well, even if it was, it may not be communicable to those speaking a different language.
Correction: They don't say anything when I add the adapter to one of the new MacBook Pros during the purchase process.

But they do include the caveat when I add the adapter to the 12" MacBook which I've also been looking at (sorry, German page):

"
Mit dem USB-C-auf-USB-Adapter kannst du dein MacBook mit USB-C-Anschluss an viele USB-Zubehörgeräte anschließen, z. B. an deine Kamera, einen Flash-Drive oder an ein Lightning auf USB-Kabel, um iPhone, iPad oder iPod aufzuladen und zu synchronisieren.*

*Einige USB-Zubehörgeräte werden nicht unterstützt.
"

The last sentence reads: Some USB accessories are not supported.
What is the competitive differentiation and defensibility then in your mind?

Of the list of UI libraries and frameworks you listed, only Polymer creates Web Components. All the others have their own component model.

There are Web Components libraries besides Polymer: Skate JS, Reactive Web Components, Bosonic, X-Tags, and probably others. They're all interoperable.

A gently-glowing logo is far less disruptive or distracting than a flashlight shining in one's face.

If you expect people to cover the logo on their laptops, I can only assume you keep your phone on silent and never, ever, ever answer it in public, because a ringing phone is far more distracting as is a phone conversation. For that matter, so is in-person conversation, so I hope you never hold conversations in public either.

Or put another way, calling a glowing logo a public disservice is ridiculous and if you believe it you're either a recluse or a hypocrite.
Creating an Analytics Strategy That Can Scale with Your Company
Only one of those four quotes said something about buying games, but you used plural language twice now. You drew a false pattern where none exists.

The fact that the stats I provided shows the same gender bias no matter how you slice it - whether it's playing, or purchasing, or identifying as a gamer, means that the bias is robust. It is more evidence of the bias, not less.

But, if you think the 4 links I posted are all wrong, feel free to actually refute it with some data instead of faulty logic.

All gamers are susceptible to marketing, whether they buy games or play free ones, that is part of the problem. Our marketing system is oriented toward boys, it is reinforcing the cultural problem we have, you can't escape marketing or divorce the problem from marketing, because marketing is half the issue.

Node.js: Breaking Core vs. Stability First
Not really. Signatures should be SHA256 already, you shouldn't be running as root (which as always been frowned upon).
The points are opinionated (which is nice!) but a tad obsolete these days.

1. /usr/local/bin is already in your PATH

But not /usr/local/sbin, which I had to add anyway.

2. Tons of build scripts break

Not that much anymore, and gems can now be configured much more easily thanks to bundler. It's indeed a chore to tell configure to link against this or that, but most of the time you just build a package anyway (trivial with pacman/abs) for things to be managed.

3. no need to worry about messing up existing tools.

But many third party tools install stuff in /usr/local. Also, SIP prevents any mess from happening to system stuff.

Also, regarding sudo:

But do you trust the multi-megabyte Makefile that Homebrew runs?

No I don't, that's why make/make install gets run as a regular user but under fakeroot when packaging with, say, pacman/abs.

Running the install phase as root allows the package manager to make things just work, such as installing OpenVPN (which depends on tuntaposx kexts), or install daemons under their own user and have them launched on system boot (not user login) by /Library/LaunchDaemons, or install Python under /Library/Frameworks (which ironically, brew builds as a framework but stores somewhere else).

Again, those are tradeoffs and it's good that a stance is taken either way.

Disclaimer: long-time tentative maintainer of Arch OS X
Yes, sure, but there's always been a presumption in those definitions that you have a multi-user system. I would say that most people today operate their computers as single users. The multiuser paradigm, is more about differing security contexts.

For me these locations are an artifact of multiuser systems days, it's generally more desirable for me to store most stuff in my home directory, such that when I upgrade computers, there's only one thing to copy over.
Wait, that's still awful! It allows you to crack each character individually. For instance, a 10-letter password requires 26^10 ~= 1.4e14 attempts to test every option if you only have a hash of the full password, but only 10*26 = 260 attempts to test every option for every individual character.

>That may be when the "typically" happen, but you can still get race conditions where you have two tasks that can run next, and you accidentally write an assumption about which will happen into your code when there is no such assumption in the scheduler.

> There are two possibilities: California's representatives are representing the will of the people, or they're not. Occam's Razor would point toward the former, but if you have evidence of the latter, what is it?

You don't have to be so condescending. There is plenty of complexity that you're ignoring to reduce it to a quip like that.

First off is the obvious possibility that being on the same schedule as 95% of the country is more important than being on a better schedule.

There's also the inertia of change. You can interpret "If it were up to a popular vote today" as an alternative to DST having been implemented decades ago.
For me the main issue is that the 4-port fully-spec'd-out version is just too expensive. If not for the price I could live with the choices.

Finally looked at it and it's because the address is generically "Mountain View, CA" in Google Places. I tried to suggest an edit to give it a more precise address but it wasn't one of the available options. Perhaps YC asked for their address to not be listed so random people don't show up to pitch.
I meant only that when the structure of the economy changes to quickly, reactions like Donald Trump occur. If the US had been better about integrating all the people employed by manufacturing into the "new" economy I don't think they'd be so desperate for the kind change they think Donald Trump represents.
Really like the look of this, feels VERY Digital Ocean-esque from the UI (which is awesome). As a big fan of DO I'm looking forward to playing with it!

Edit:

One interesting thing I've noticed is that I was charged a dollar for an IP address that I released after 1 minute and 11 seconds. I'd have assumed that it would have been by the second as well. However:

fip	209.177.88.125	-	2016/11/07 16:27:08	2016/11/07 16:28:19	0.0197	$1.0000

From pricing:
"Billing begins when a new Floating IP is allocated, ends when it is released. Partial month is treated as a entire month."
Also fiserv's share price hasn't budged.
Disclaimer: I don't use Tesco Bank so this is just speculation and some observations.

The types of 2FA vary dramatically between banks. Some use an SMS OTP but as we know phone numbers aren't secure [0]. Most use a card reader but they often do this differently. Some use the 'identify' function to log on and the 'sign' function for payments (as designed) but others use the 'respond' function for everything. The danger in using 'respond' for payments is that the account and amount aren't entered into the card reader so you don't know what you are authorising.

<pure-speculation>

If Tesco have a flaw in how they are using 2FA, by only using 'respond', then local malware could intercept genuine payments, alter the account/amount details, and get the user to authorise this. Or Android malware could intercept SMS messages. N.B. This assumes the issue is in the faster payments system but it could be in the payment card system. It appears cash points still work but this is a separate system to debit card payments.

</pure-speculation>

From what I've read no one will lose money but having transactions frozen is still a big inconvenience. As mentioned elsewhere here, this is why it's a good idea to have many different bank accounts from various parent institutions (also important from a deposit guarantee position). Some banks share the same infrastructure and liability. Always have some cash available too, although that is getting harder to spend everywhere [1].

Gee, I wish I could run the Mac OS in a VM though. Too bad Apple won't let me do that unless I'm running it on their overpriced, under-powered hardware with the one supported configuration: running the Mac OS as the host OS.

(Sorry, I won't call it "macOS" anymore because my marketing services don't come free - I'll continue to refer to it as "the Mac OS" since it's the OS that you can only run on a Mac.)

Windows has a better business model for everybody. You can run it anywhere you want without restriction. It's also a vastly superior OS both technically and with regards to UX for Pro and Business users. For those that enjoy UNIX - Apple is still shipping 10 year old GNU utils with the Mac OS and meanwhile, Windows now comes with Ubuntu...and it's fucking awesome!
You're right in the abstract sense, but we're talking in the context of AArch64 vs. AArch32.
When I was a kid, I toyed with the idea of metric time. I realized it wouldn't work when I thought about TV shows - a 30 minute show would need to be condensed into 2 14.4 minute centi-days. That would require losing 1.2 minutes of commercials, never gonna happen.

There are a few different strategies when using intercooler. If clients not having java script available is a big concern the server can always return fully rendered pages and have intercooler pick out the elements from the response that need to be updated on the page.

This gives clients that do have java script the feel of an SPA and clients that do not have java script see the traditional full page refresh without any additional server side logic deciding to return snippets or not.

60-40 is actually not so bad; much closer a split than I would have expected.
I do mean async as in generic async IO.

As you said, you can of course recover stackful behaviour by using yield/await/async/wathever at every level of the call stack, but in addition to being a performance pitfall (you are in practice heap allocating each frame separately and yield is now O(N): your iterpreter/compiler/jit will need to work hard to remove the abstraction overhead), it leads to the green/red function problem.
I wonder is this is better for spinning up low traffic static sites than DO.
> Is it really important if it is 20 or 30 km/h? Is 20 km/h or 10 km/h not dangerous?

Yes, it is. At 10km/h it's really not dangerous; at 30km/h an open door may kill the cyclist, and a hitting pedestrian may be severely hurt them. Speed is that a relevant factor.
