Very interesting insights on Ember. I am currently getting hands on with Meteor and found it interesting. Was there any discussion on whether Meteor suits your purposes?
I don't think this is a fair argument. Writing web pages as single page JS apps is _harder_ than writing them as server-side generated html responses. And in many cases (this one as a great example), the user experience is worse for having done so.
At what cost? Load following is actually a much easer problem than peaking for nuclear power. Quickly going from 0 to 100% is much harder than 20-90%. This means they operate well as huge chunks of the grid, but don't fit nearly as well into a variable energy mix.

A lot of different things make nuclear power expensive to build and operate. Compared to coal/natural gas they need a lot of extra buildings and much thicker walls etc. Compared to solar they need armed guards, and exclusion zone, regular inspections, etc. Space wise you can grow food in the middle of a wind farm without issue.

It turns out the real problem is not construction costs so much as operation and decommissioning costs, which have little to do with economy's of scale. The decommissioning costs have also gotten much worse as investment returns have dropped. Paying for things 40 years down the line means return on investment becomes critical.
I doubt 1977 or 1990 affected whether city folks wore gas masks in 1980.

Formal verification isn't as limited as you suggest. The original use of formal verification for security in high-assurance security was analysis of security kernels for OS's showing that every state the system could be in was secure or fail-safe. Early attempts like UCLA Secure UNIX showed UNIX was impossible to secure because the API's inherently leaked and/or gave attackers opportunities. That's why high-assurance projects abandoned them in favor of security kernels with user-mode version of UNIX isolating those apps from others. Or did entirely new architectures. Mainstream IT and INFOSEC ignored these lessons with most of the failures you've seen resulting. They still argue even though one model worked consistently and one they build on didn't. ;)

Here's a summary of security kernel approach:

http://www.cse.psu.edu/~trj1/cse443-s12/docs/ch6.pdf

Unfortunately, the secure UNIX papers are paywalled. Here's another high-assurance project with sections illustrating issues with UNIX API and changes they had to make. That's back when it had dozens of sys calls.

http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.93....

After a while, the formal verification people got the tools working well enough to prove absence of certain types of problems in code itself rather than an abstract model of it. So, now you see them showing absence of buffer overflows, etc. There's also tools to do similar stuff for assembly and hardware languages. I saw one proof that went down to the gates. Capabilities gradually expanded from system-level properties to lowest-level properties.
First I would suggest you do your own homework assignments. ;)

Currently recurrent neural networks are the best language processing ML algorithms. Here is a relatively new paper on recurrent neural network grammars and it references many of the recent papers:

It should be noted that he didn't create the hack, it's something that's been fairly well known. What he did was accomplish it manually, whereas all previous solutions automated it via virtualized controller inputs.
It doesn't even make any sense at all. Why would you install jammers on every tower? You clearly don't need to cover the whole country. The maintenance cost of trying to coordinate access with the telecom company and install extra equipment would be insane.
Its not a "consoles" problem, its a "dumb down for the masses" problem. There are plenty of games out for consoles that aren't "push button to win/not die". Some games are designed to be "mass market" (or not), regardless of what platform(s) they're on. There's tons of shovelware crap on PC too, you just probably ignore it.

For example, the SoulsBorne games. (and at least Demon Souls and Bloodborne are console exclusives)

Support for six displays out of the box is pretty cool. I'm glad manufacturers are finally supporting more than just one or two displays by default.
> Meanwhile, the price of solar took just five years to drop almost 70%, and it continues to fall at record rates.

Wow that is a surprising number. That looks encouraging. What is the expectation there? Is there a currently known limit that we expect to hit. (say the scarcity of some rare metal). Or it is easily possible to see another 70% drop next 5 years.

To my uninformed mind, advanced nuclear seems like a good way forward. Is there a way to make reactors smaller, "burn" the waste, Thorium seems popular and there were many articles on it.

I grew up not far from Chernobyl when it happened. So it would seem I should be vehemently opposed, but I believe with each accident we'd learn from the past what not to do.
We're talking about adding a single drop of water to a bathtub while simultaneously closing down an open tap (fossil fuel power). Sounds like a net win to me, actually. And I mentioned other industries because it's ridiculous to freak over nuclear waste while being calm about all the other waste that's many, many times more dangerous and more omnipresent.

I made it because I couldn't find a developer to do a larger project I wanted to do based on the same principle.

So I paid a developer to do this and now he is my partner and we are building the project I wanted to do to begin with. It's quite profitable for a small tool.

It's based on the idea of contextual note taking which basically allow you to attach notes to all sorts of things like website, folders, files etc.

The contextual engine is part of my new project.

Jamming GPS won't do much against US cruise missiles because the primary guidance is optically-corrected inertial i.e. there is a camera that matches terrain features for fine-grained localization. IIRC, some variants also have a terminal guidance package that knows what the target looks like and can make corrections toward the target as it comes within range.

The only thing jamming GPS might impact is the inflight re-targeting features, but military GPS is not easily jammed and the inertial system should still be able to do the job until the optical localization can get a fix.

Should work great against cheap drones and such though.

Sorry to hear your experience. Next time you'd be better off buying from a more established brand if you going to buy a phone of Chinese brand. Chances are, if they are officially selling outside China, they would have met some the requirements from the respective countries. I know Europe and US has strict privacy laws and that's why you can't buy such phones through official channels.
Thank you for submitting this on HN. I am really happy to see the site grow.

> I am extremely protective of our users. You can ask anyone who works here. It’s is my very strong belief that we have a built up a trust with the community that is not easily earned and is impossible to replace. I want to work for a company that respects that trust, and I do.

> How much money we make is a direct proxy for how much we are helping our users. We focus on maximizing how we help users in order to make a great business. Very few companies have done this successfully, and we take great pride in the fact that we’re one of them.

I can see that they believe in this. As I wrote in my Quora answer https://www.quora.com/Is-Stack-Exchange-still-growing-in-201...:

"They are gaining a lot of goodwill because they have committed to attach a high value to user experience over monetary gain (they learnt from sites in the past that lost their community because they plastered the site with ads. Needless to say, those sites eventually failed)"

I remember other sites that did something similar but they got lost on the way and sold their users away and ultimately fell to disrepair because no one came back.

I hope they continue to stay true to this course.

> We don’t because if we don’t have anything even remotely good to show you, we shouldn’t.

> And we don’t want to use an automated system that selects some ads for us. We looked at this. It didn’t allow us the control we required to maintain the level of quality we want to maintain. We have intentionally left a lot of money on the table. Sacrificing quality is not what we want to be known for. We believe there are better ways.

In my limited experience with online advertising, one metric that almost all advertisers ask for are page views.

I believe this is a fundamentally flawed metric. It can be gamed easily and ultimately targeting ads by page views lead to a suboptimal user experience.

I would rather not show an ad than show an irrelevant ad.

SE is bigger than just page views. It’s a successful ecosystem that has a vibrant community behind it that will grow and nurture itself.

It's great to see that their management would rather not show an ad than show an irrelevant ad.

> If you have time though, I’d appreciate if you told me why in the comments so I/we can do better.

The case of Slovakia and Hungary is interesting: they are two of the top 4 countries where the share of nuclear generation is highest (and above 50%) [1]. Slovakia is largely devoid of fossil fuels, while Hungary produces lignite, oil, and natural gas, but both are reliant on gas imports (mostly from Russia).

As such, they generally can't afford to not consider nuclear, despite being small countries where an accident would damage a sizeable chunk of the countryside. Despite their Russian-made reactors, and usually Russian-sourced fuel, the domestic production of more than half the countries' energy needs is simply a national security issue with the useful side-effect of reducing carbon emissions than if imported natural gas was used for a much higher share of production.

The fact is that Facebook is not a media company. In some countries (e.g. most of Europe) where this distinction makes tremendous differences (the media being much more regulated than other for-profit companies), they are pretty adamant about it. Understandably so, business-wise.

Regardless of whether their assumption is true or not, I wouldn't expect the CEO of said company to just come out and say "oh yeah, sure, we're influencers like any other media and we forward fake news too". It's just business sense imho.

As for what Mark truly believes, on a personal level, you'd have to be a close friend, not a journalist recording, to get privy to it.

The greater the marketing hype before a film arrives in my town, the greater the inevitable disappointment. Perhaps Arrival is great, but imho the truly great ones don't invest in such a hype machine.

The "100% at rotten tomatoes" line in the commercials give me pause. I checked. It's at 95, not 100. I can see why. Scores do change, but it's just more evidence of heavy marketing. The best scifi, the really good stuff, doesn't hit a home run with reviewers immediately. I'm suspicious and so will probably go see this movie myself first rather than suggest a group of us go.
BMW i3 is a great example.

I have had no issue with any of that for years now. Unless you have some really exotic hardware, it's hard to empathise here.

Linux is an industry standard, I think this sort of brag about how much trouble you have with just getting it running reflects much worse on the complainant than the system.

20 years ago? Sure. Now not so much.
Nice, I had no idea Arrival was adapted from a Ted Chiang story. Maybe I'll have to check it out.

For those who aren't familiar with his work, I highly recommend Stories of Your Life and Others. It's perhaps the most amazing collection of SF short stories I've read. It's hard to describe it, but there's something about his work that makes it feel both simultaneously more real and more mind-bending than other SF fare. I think it's the combination of his completely outlandish premises (which I can't figure out how to describe without spoiling things) and completely matter-of-fact, mundane way he writes about them.
As I understand he meant by capita. Meaning your personal impact in term of nuclear waste would be a soda can for your whole life.

Considering the volume of non-recyclable regular waste we produce as northerners, this actually look pretty small. Of course this soda can must be stored with more precaution than our other wastes. And we cannot just assume that future generations will be able to recycle all nuclear waste using futuristic engineering.

But from a practical standpoint it's seems, as of now, more easy to manage some precisely located wastes than to disseminate CO2 in vast quantity and expect that our kids can catch them using futuristic engineering.

When I was researching face recognition, I absolutely hated the labeling system that we were given, and couldn't really find anything better (mind you, this was about 6 years ago). So I started building Landmarker. It let you plot points, identify segments, zoom and rotate.

It never served any real purpose besides the few times I've wanted to make vector art.
This is pretty cool.

Agreed. I was responding to hashkb as to why they might think they could install it widely without having more than 38 licenses. It also seems like a valid reason to ask for the phone-home mechanism to be removed without malicious intent to subvert licensing restrictions.

Using batteries for grid storage is terrible compared to pumped hydro and on demand hydro.

We agree on the chemistry. The point of my ps is the C becomes CO2 the H becomes H2O, but we don't care about H2O. Which is why hydrocarbons produce less CO2 per watt than coal.

By pre-defining specs for the device, you can obviously create a sleak box for it with no wasted space, but I would claim it will always be impossible to create something as powerful as something 4 times its size, given the larger components are still produced, just going off physics. Otherwise no one would still build towers and just use laptops. (Of course more people use laptops, but it's not because of performance)

Since they don't mention specs other than "next gen xeon and nvidia graphics", and the only claim to power is "Building off the success of the HP Z240 SFF, the HP Z2 Mini Workstation is twice as powerful as any commercial mini PC on the market today", I won't hold my breath.

Getting better performance than "other mini PCs" is a pretty low bar for a stationary workstation. I'm unsure who this is for. It's not a laptop, so you can't bring it with you. A midtower would have better performance and can be strapped under your desk so you never see it.
I visited SF for the first time last year and I was shocked at how put-upon people drinking alone in bars seemed when I tried to talk to them. Even the bartenders couldn't be bothered to talk.

Thorium is just one choice for a molten-salt reactor, U-235 is a feasible fuel source as well.

Also, as far as the "no-mans land" comment, there's only been two incidents in our entire history of using Nuclear energy that did this: Chernobyl and Three-Mile Island. Both of which are horrible losses, but Fukushima is not anywhere near as disastrous. The region will be essentially uninhabitable for 30 years, but after that the half-life of the longest-lived element from the disaster will have decayed naturally. Not great, but considering the much longer impact global warming will have a 20Km radius of land being unusuable for 1/3 of a century doesn't seem so bad in comparison - of course, with modern reactor designs (Fukushima was built in '67!) this whole thing could have been avoided entirely even though it was in a Tsunami zone (although a MSR could have had negative consequences, there would have been no issue just pumping seawater in immediately to cool the reactor and stop the reaction - it would have contaminated the water and possible corroded the containment, all of your critical reactor would be dead stopped and the rest of the radioactive material sealed in a giant chunk of salt instead of blown/washed away ending up in the soil).
I feel like all of the responses are missing most of your question. As I read you, you understand that there are other questions we might want to ask, but why not call them "compareRationals" or whatnot rather than giving them all the same name?

I think that it comes down to a question of interfaces/abstraction. Quite a few languages provide you interfaces for asking both questions, "are these structurally equivalent" and "are these practically equivalent" for whatever choice of "practical".
I did the same for "The Last of Us" (and also watched a video where the guy barely spoke; I wonder was it the same one you watched...). I watched it because I heard all the good things about it and thought since it was a PS3 game that I'd never play it. I loved watching it.

Then later it got remade for PS4 and I bought it and played it the whole way through. Despite having watched the entire thing, I really enjoyed playing it just as much as I assume I would have without watching it, and, interestingly enough, I enjoyed the gameplay much more than I was expecting.

Hopefully by the time all the natural oil is gone we will be able to efficiently produce synthetic oil that is compatible with out current infrastructure. Also we will, hopefully, have worked out the best way to capture and contain/re-use the CO2 emissions.

Though obviously we would need nuclear/wind/solar power for that backbone that facilitates oil synthesis.

In North America, running for over 3000 kilometers from the western shores of California through vast lifeless deserts to the Rio Grande and the Gulf of Mexico, lies the remains of the Great Wall of Don'Ald - once the largest defensive structure ever built.

Despite laying dormant and unknown for more than 1,500 years, recent excavations have revealed that the Great Wall of Don'Ald was a mighty enterprise of significant cost and investment. The sheer size and scale of the construction — larger than the combined area of the Roman-built Hadrian’s Wall and Antonine Wall in the United Kingdom — shows how strategically important it must have been to defend this open flank of the ancient American empire.
