VW made a bad bet on bad Diesel technology, and Toyota is making a bad bet on hydrogen technology. (The Toyota Mirai hydrogen-powered car, at California Toyota dealers now.[1] As of September 29, 2016, 641 cars have been sold. $57,500, including three years of liquid hydrogen.)

The German car companies have a problem. They have all that investment in the technology of making precision power machinery. But electric motors just aren't that complicated mechanically. Their edge over China disappears.

GM seems to get it. Chevrolet is shipping Chevy Bolts to dealers right now.

I thought the same thing too, and I found it particularly intriguing when some of the maps actually inverted the population map, like the wind power map.
He says that if government did give tax breaks for power improvements, it wouldn't do anything. That's different from "It would do something but I object to using government that way".
And one reason UBI is unlikely to ever really happen is that the few people at the top (who continually adapt the system to maintain their positions of dominance/wealth) exactly do not want the system to change. They especially do not want to democratize markets, lest they lose their positions.
UBI would raise the little guy, freeing him or her to explore more possibilities beyond the treadmill of survival. And that could lead to disruptions, and disruptions are bad for dictators/monopolists.
"Uber's business only works at scale, therefore they need to get there and deep discounts to get to scale make sense regardless of competitors."

Isn't that almost universally true for everything? Is it an acceptable reason to stifle open market competition?
I mean think about any other industry. Say a new airline wants to get into business. Is it okay for them to offer $1 tickets (while writing off taxes/airport fees as losses) until they gain enough market share? What would that do to other competitors in that industry?

I'm pretty sure open floor plans are so prevalent because they are so much cheaper. I've been places where they actually switched out all our desks for smaller ones so we could fit more employees. These proposals are at least stabs at getting privacy and productivity in the horrible low cost setting that's taken over.

I'm not convinced this article isn't satire.
On the plus side, the replacement part will probably be better. If the tools don't cost any money, and the material doesn't cost much, and you can do the labor for free, you can make some incredibly cool stuff!
Definitely this. The hard work, from my experience, in hooking up to a fuzzer is writing the wrappers to hook in to the fuzzer, and creating a set of examples from which to begin fuzzing intelligently.

Automated fuzzing is the icing on top of that hard work. It magnifies the utility of doing the work to fuzz by making it run continuously and by throwing more computational resources at it to find more bugs. But, unlike, say, coding to some closed API where you're up a creek if the service goes away, most of the hard work is portable, and you can still run it on your own cluster. AFL and libFuzzer are open source and quite awesome on their own.
You cannot handle "sorry brains"? But what if I feel sorry for brains that lack self-control and which cannot adapt to the world that is not dominated by their likes? The same status quo, which they consider as some unseen accomplishment of the humanity, is actually more repressive and not much different than the Communist regimes some of us know intimately. Yeah, let's not bring these things up to a discussion, sugarcoat and falsify history, so that the poor billionaires don't get attacked by anti-Semites! Give me a break, please! I personally expect a lot more from this community, which has turned into an oversensitive version of Reddit!
Was he immediately fired?
Quick test: if you create a new namespace and import another file within that namespace, do its contents end up in that namespace?

Included: ACS, awk, COBOL, Erlang, Forth, Fortran, most older Lisps, Perl 5 (despite that required files must return true), PHP, Ruby, Unix shells.

Common Lisp's LOAD binds the value of {star}package{star} to the value it held before LOAD was invoked. This means that the LOAD takes place in the same package, but if the file being loaded changes to a different package, that effect is lost when the LOAD completes.

In other words, the designers thought about this issue (how loading interacts with the package system) and made a clear decision: same package is used over the load, but the loaded file is prevented from altering the caller's current package: they decided that the parent being able to establish a package and read table for the loaded child is useful flexibility, but the reverse situation being error-prone.

That decision is a reasonable one. I thought about the same issue in TXR Lisp and copied the decision made by ANSI CL, recognizing its wisdom.

Note that when LOAD loads a compiled file, then the symbols in that file are not affected by the current package. They are not being read from source code any more. (That is no longer textual inclusion).

Lisp supports textual inclusion in the sense that you can load a file that is raw source code, without being forced to compile it first. That is useful and good; why not support such a thing? Being able to set up a package or read table and then do a bunch of loads which then take place in the context of that package is also useful and good.

Lisp doesn't force you into textual inclusion. Even for macros, you don't have to use textual inclusion. A module containing macros can be compiled with COMPILE-FILE. Then that file can be loaded as a compiled file, by the compiler, when other files are being compiled (files which need those macros).

Please, don't compare Lisp with C #include!
Where are we going to get our news from after all the news organizations shut down?

I have stopped reading them or watching tv a while ago, and even started to actively avoid mainstream media. My life has not been impacted in any way except having a little more free time.

News is not necessary. It doesn't enrich your life. It's just something to put on and feel smarter than if you put on a sitcom.

Try this, I do it every time I'm home: watch people watch the news, and then ask them what was on. Pretend you didn't hear some segment or just flat out ask them to summarize. Most people most of the time won't be able to tell you. And they're perfectly functioning, intelligent adults.

At best it doesn't matter. At worst it's actively harmful by giving you these easily accessible stories that bear no relation to your life. Good riddance.
The alternatives are road/rail (via Canada or Mexico) and air. Presumably very little overseas trade is routed through Canada and Mexico, but it's certainly possible.

I personally would have guessed a higher percentage would come through air than 5%.
Something like flour, maybe?
Yes, but then if AV companies build their own browsers and crash yours, you can have the government step in and prosecute them for their anti-competitive business practices.

I can't imagine any of the AV vendors getting a web browser right to the point that they'd have widespread user adoption. And from the perspective of the Firefox or Chrome or Opera, that user probably wasn't using an updated version of your browser anyway...
I just realized how big a deal a stable super heavy element would actually be. I mean is it crazy to think that if such an element were synthesized and it was stable enough to amass like a gram of it you could be looking at the largest single quantity of this element in the known universe?
Reminds me of a two pictures a guy took to document his toys for his renters insurance. In 2000 he had twelve electronic devices, in 2010 he had six. Half the devices had been rolled into his smart phone.
Which is something to keep in mind when people talk about blue states being net Federal tax payers and red states being net Federal tax receivers.

Agreed. A city proper is definitely not an isolated social and economic "unit"; therefore limiting comparisons to it will not give you the information you really want to make decisions.

When you discover and can produce transuranic elements feel free to name them what you like.

Americium was first produced in 1944 by the group of Glenn T. Seaborg from Berkeley, California, at the Metallurgical Laboratory of the University of Chicago, a part of the Manhattan Project.[0]
Berkelium [...] is named after the city of Berkeley, California, the location of the University of California Radiation Laboratory where it was discovered in December 1949. [1]

I remembered this game and decided to play again after years. The sound is not working, so I wondered what happened to the company behind.

That's a wonderful site/service. I find the UI very clean and attractive but of course that's subjective. I really enjoy map-based data visualizations. It's particularly interesting to me to pick out the middle-of-nowhere companies and try to imagine why they were founded where they were, given the hiring, logistics and (I would imagine) the funding hurdles that would have resulted from the decision. In my experience talking to a few such founders, it's often a matter of "dammit, I love it here, this is where I'm going to start my business, and let the chips fall where they may" ... an attitude I find admirable.

Who'd have thought there'd be so many gigs in Remote, Oregon? :)

I echo every other "stop building open floor plans" comment in here.

It's kind of hard to overstate the sad hilarity of so many orgs with vast resources being constitutionally incapable of using technology like walls and doors. There are few more concise arguments for the intellectual bankruptcy of cool-kid business practice.

That's a good question. I don't know.

I guess it depends on what kind of retired you are. If you're living off of $1000 of dividends per month, or a $600 pension, then you're probably not upper class. At $4000/month like the couple in the picture ... borderline?

Maybe once you retire you just stay the class you were before you retired?

I cheated here (this _is_ a binary perceptron), but the conversion is super easy with one-vs-rest or one-vs-one (training all pairs and then doing pairwise comparison until we find the one that matches), that would still take ~20 seconds to train.
Don't bother reading this article. The "solution"presented is to install red/green lights at your desk to signal to people not to walk up and interrupt you.

Good to know, but you ( and I and most of us here ) are in a minority. You must realize that intellectual people like us are a very small fraction of the internet. The majority of the internet is people who get their "news" from Facebook and Twitter and Instagram and now from SnapChat. Most can't even differentiate between news, journalism, advertorials, sponsored post and such.

This article entirely misses the point, and is out of touch with the reason people skip cable. Cost only marginally comes into it.

It comes down to this. Which would you rather spend your money on? Live TV which you have to use a DVR to watch at leisure, and even then you are limited to only that which is currently being aired; or on-demand streaming, where you can choose exactly what to watch, when to watch it, without filling up a DVR, skipping through commercials, etc.

Not only do I pay for Netflix, HBO Now, Starz, Showtime, and Amazon Prime. I also purchase season passes for shows I want on Amazon Video or Apple TV. I likely still pay less than I would for cable. I have no interest in live TV, and for the rare events I care about (such as the Super Bowl), those stream for free online. Even if I pay the same or slightly more, I don't care. It's not about the cost. It's about the freedom.
From what I can tell there are all sorts of ways to produce highly energetic, unstable compounds, which are mostly curiosities. But if you can find a highly energetic stable compound it has all sorts of industrial and scientific uses.
This seems it might be a way to check if a user is logged-in or not and provide the appropriate page. I'm thinking if the user details are in a jwt or cookie, you could render the correct page on insecure routes.
what a fantastic resource! Just a thought...why did you start your bottom up approach at the operating system level. Surely, if we are being purist's we should start with mathematical constructs first. After all, computational machines existed in the minds of mathematicians long before the any machine was built.
I haven't. I like Angular because it's easy to integrate with DRF and the templating language is very similar to Django's, so it was fast for me to pick up. This is v1. I haven't tried Angular v2 though. I tend to stay away from JS as much as possible and my JS files rarely exceed 100 lines. But I think you should use whatever makes sense to you. Our stack has been really good to us. All those things just keep running. And supervisord keeps the Gunicorn workers up so can't be happier.
I am getting so sick of open office plans. I have a colored light (a Blink(1), for those curious), and I have keyboard shortcuts for turning the light red/green, with a large sign next to the light that says "If light is red, I'm busy." I also wear very visible (and expensive) noise-cancelling headphones.

Even these very direct techniques don't work--people ignore the light and interrupt me anyway. It's gotten to the point where I straight up tell them that they're being rude and interrupting me, and to just ping me on IRC or email. They continue interrupting.

It's really sad that one of my main motivations for getting promoted is so I can get an office and avoid all these completely avoidable distractions.

Between the ops culture's endless interruptions, "Agile" ceremony, and open office plans, I don't know how we manage to get anything done.
This is great for .net; hopefully this announcement won't drown in the torrent of AWS news today!
If you mean "shared vehicles" by the Uber/Lyft model, I agree. If you mean "shared" as in a fleet, well, Daimler Benz probably has a better balance sheet than you do, and can borrow at prime.

I feel the same way about housing stock, BTW; the US model of home ownership only works because it is heavily subsidized by the federal government as a longstanding matter of policy (not counting the tax deduction for interest which simply preys upon people's financial ignorance). Almost everyone in the US would be better off it a set of large companies/REITs owned the majority of the housing stock and most people rented.
According to what I could find online, the advertising rates they can charge make The New Yorker relatively profitable. Do you know if Bloomberg television is profotable or mainly a vehicle for promoting the brand?

Looking at this behemoth infrastructure, one can safely say that by just tweaking/updating existing maintenance related policies, a plenty of new jobs can be added.

Not to mention implementing policies for the addition of new infrastructure. For example adding more windmills or installing more solar plants etc etc.
