Consumers are rational. They aren't unlimited in their ability to source and process information. We're not very good at understanding their behaviour.
LLCs are great to limit your liability, but vary from state to state. In CA for instance, they are very expensive ~$800, but in WI, they are ~$150, and can be done online in less than hour. I believe some states let you create an LLC even if you do not have residency there.

LLCs are passthrough entities, so you are taxed the same as 1099 work. You are not an employee, but an owner. All profit is considered income for you. You have to file one extra form denoting the (profit - deductions) for your business, and then you take that net profit in the form a K1, and pay taxes.

If you make no money in 2017, you don't need to file anything extra for the LLC (though a crafty CPA might find a good reason to do so for deductions).

Once you have an LLC, open a dedicated business bank account and get a business CC. Capital One offers one w/ 2% rewards which is nice. More importantly, all your business income/deductions are well documented and separate from your personal. You will be happy you did this come tax time, and mostly eliminates the need for bookkeeping.

Utility scale solar projects, the majority of which in the US now use single axis tracking, attain significantly higher capacity factors than rooftop installations. There's still a wind advantage but I wouldn't say its CF is "much" higher. The EIA measured the capacity factors for US utility scale wind and PV respectively at 32.2% and 25.8% in 2015: https://www.eia.gov/electricity/monthly/epm_table_grapher.cf...

Wind still has a capacity factor advantage, but at 59 GW and 70 GW, multiplying by those above capacity factors, wind and large scale PV would be nearly matched for real output (18.998 real GW and 18.06 real GW respectively). Somewhere like Germany the real-output gap between wind and solar would be greater while in India I'd expect it to be lesser, due to relatively poor wind resources. (In fact single-axis PV might actually beat wind on capacity factor in India.)

That's a terrible test, really. It presumes that all races/ethnicities are treated equally by society, when they fact they aren't. A test like that only works when you swap like for like, and you don't.

For instance, many ethnic jokes (racist jokes) only work because they exploit racial stereotypes. Those jokes cease to work when you swap in a different race. Does that mean the original jokes were not racist? Of course it doesn't.

Saying "there are too many white guys in the senate" is not racist, because the US senate is disproportionately white. Saying "there are too many black guys in the senate" on the other hand is racist, because there are only 2 of them!

Saying "there are too many white guys in tech" isn't racist for the same reason, and actions to diversify tech are not racist against white people either. Conversely, preserving the white-dominated status quo is racist.

> Setting aside the design aesthetic of the tesla, which is minimal and modern, the actual quality and finish of the tesla is stupefying. It's unbelievably bad.

i agree completely. i have mentioned this to people, but i get weird looks from people awed by tesla. i have sat in one and even rode along a friend's test ride. the door handle jiggles. when the door closes, it doesn't have that firm "i'm a car door, and i just closed" feel and sound. the leather isn't that great and the seat backs and trim is sort of tacky. there's a lot of plastic pieces that jiggle around.

my kia optima sxl is finished much, much better than any tesla i have sat in.

i have asked the question: can tesla really beat in just a few years some of these other car manufacturers who have been making cars and iterating on designs for decades in quality and robustness? i think the answer is that, no they haven't, but people are continually wooed by thinking tesla is the greatest car because it's electric and has a gigantic screen. (i for one feel like the screen is poorly designed with respect to how it's mounted. it looks like someone just tacked on a giant monitor to a dash.)
Agreed; they need less people and less money. Look at what GitLab's achieved! Maybe it's time to leave the posh accommodations and go back into the wilderness.

I did my Engineering Physics I homework using mirrored writing. The instructor didn't mind. Looking back, it's a bit risky given you're drawing equations and arrows, not only text. I hadn't tried this before or since.

At the end of the semester, I told him physics seemed fun but I thought software engineering was a better career choice for me. Only years later did I find via LinkedIn that he had worked as a software engineer for ten years before. :D

"probably because it's more natural for a left-hander to write backwards".

No, the key is that pulling the writing instrument requires a lot less muscle than pushing it. This means that mirror writing requires 1) more muscle strain or 2) less muscle strain than writing with the dominant hand if either the hand is switched, or the direction (LTR or RTL). If you swap both factors at the same time, then the strain is the same.

Left-handers who write LTR and switch direction (RTL) reduce the muscle strain compared to their usual writing as they're now pulling the pen. A right hander who does the same in this situation has to push the pen RTL with their right hand, which is harder than they're used to. A right hander should use the left-hand for mirror writing so they pull the pen like they're used to.

From this information, you can derive why people think it's easier to mirror write by switching hands, and others think it's easier for left-handers than right-handers to mirror write with their original hand.

TL;DR: Yes, there is initial effort to start mirror writing. But the real difference is that in the long-term, one group will find mirror writing to cause more hand strain than normal, and others will find it less hand strain than normal, because in one group pushing the pen is normal and in the other pulling it is.

The world is not the only planet in the Universe.

This is not immortality, this is eternal youth, until you die for some reason (war, an accident, suicide, whatever) .

Thermal engines were a radical change in society, it let us do things that were impossible before, like flying. There will be new changes in the world, like nuclear fusion, DNA editing(with actual understanding of it not like we do today), symbiosis between man and machine with high bandwidth communication...

With nuclear fusion you could irrigate the Sahara dessert, you could irrigate Australia. Take Google Earth and look how big those places are. Those places are bigger than Europe and the USA.

With nuclear fusion you could LED grow plants without pesticides and almost without using water(you recycle it).

You can grow food or live in space, mine asteroids and planets like Saturn( do you know how big is Saturn?).

Saying that solar is less expensive than nat gas is misleading. It's and apples to oranges comparison. To make a valid comparison you need to compare solar + batteries to natural gas. There is value to electricity production that has an on/off switch because it helps keep the grid stable.

Ask HN: Update for You Can Be a Stock Market Genius by Joel Greenblatt?
I recently read You Can Be a Stock Market Genius by Joel Greenblatt and really like the style of the book and the ideas presented in it. I am learning about event driven investment, and want to read more about it. Greenblatt's book is almost 20 years old at this point. The basics are still the same, but some things have also changed in the last 20 years. What other books on the subject would you recommend. Thank you for the help!

> So then the question becomes how do we build a less toxic and more productive social media?

1. Enforce a basic standard of conduct. That is, define the point at which a conversation becomes toxic. Encourage people to "respectfully disagree" with each other so conversations don't degrade too far.

2. Enforce posting/commenting styles similar to something like the AP Style Guide. Encourage proper punctuation and grammar throughout the platform. Also encourage the community to enforce this on their own. (Yes, I am a grammar nazi in this case. But I'm tired of seeing things like "u r stoopid !!!" as a post or comment.)

3. Hire or appoint real people to review complaints. Do not rely on an automated system for this.

4. Use a temporal based feed only (newest posts first). Do not show an algorithmic feed "tailored" to a user's current interests.

5. Operate as a small group/company. Don't try to become a publicly traded multinational corporation with too many investors to answer to.

6. Be as transparent and neutral as possible. Have a place for users to chime in on the development of new features and bug fixes.

I am pretty bullish about solar technology, as you might be able to tell from my posting history, but I'm a bit suspicious of those sub-$30 record breaking bids reported on this year. It looks like the companies making the bids are either gambling on continued aggressive cost reductions before the plants are scheduled to enter service or they're basically not making money on the contracts. Some of them could end up like SunEdison if they've left no margin for error.

That said, $150/MWh is certainly too high for a PV project entering service in 2018 in any reasonably sunny part of the world. American PPA prices this year, bid realistically by experienced companies, are such that they're still in the $70-$80 range after you back out the 30% Investment Tax Credit.

I believe the comparison was not with text-based debuggers, but with the more mainstream Node.js debugging options that also provide Blink or Chrome DevTools UIs:

1. Node Inspector (https://github.com/node-inspector/node-inspector), the most prevalent Node.js debugging tool, at least until Node v6.3.0. And which also happens to be mentioned by Jam3/devtool in the Comparisons section.

2. Built-in Chrome DevTools debugging support as of node v6.3.0 (https://medium.com/@paul_irish/debugging-node-js-nightlies-w...). Simply by running:

It seems like you are responding as if I'm holding up those situations as examples of how people ought to behave -- as if I'm for or against what happened in them. I'm not. My purpose in pointing out those examples is solely to demonstrate by example that there are multiple sides to a story.

If you look at trends, people to tend to tell their story in a way that's favorable to them, while making their opponent look like a villain. Certainly not everyone tells the truth, because stories told by different people about the same event are incompatible! I find the examples I mentioned so shocking and interesting because they are examples of high-conflict situations where you can (to different extents) see both sides, where you can meaningfully evaluate a theory of what happened.

It wasn't until I was 2/3rds of the way through the article that the supporting evidence he's provided wasn't an indictment of the viability of smartwatches as even a product, and was only an effort to demonstrate how dominant Apple is. It's completely baffling. He's completely ignoring that all the numbers he gives in the article paint a picture of a failing/foundering product segment that if anything are a compelling argument for Apple to exit the space now before it's too late.

Paper:

http://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(16)31664-6

Caveats:

1) Doing anything to the aging of cells in culture has next to nothing to do with what goes on inside aging tissues, or where it does that is heavily dependent on the details. The article doesn't tell you enough to decide, so you should look at the paper.

2) Doing anything that attenuates the effects of an accelerated aging phenotype, actually usually a DNA repair disorder, almost always has nothing to do with aging as it happens in normal individuals. You can hit mice with hammers, and then evaluate the effects of a hammer-blocking cage, but that doesn't tell you anything about aging - and for exactly the same reasons. This is generally true except when it is isn't, and that depends on the fine details. Again, go look at the paper.

3) The interesting experiment is the one in which pluripotency-inducing factors are upregulated in a normal mouse, but temporarily. This is the thing that people have looked at in the past and said, well, turning on widespread transformation of somatic cells into pluripotent stem cells sounds like a really bad idea. Cancer seems the likely outcome, and that has in fact been demonstrated in a couple of studies in mice, but there is also the point that your central nervous system rather relies upon maintaining the fine structure it has established in many cases, such as data stored in the brain. Running in and randomly reprogramming any CNS cells that take up the vector or the pluripotency signals seems like a bad idea on the face of it.

So on the whole it is fascinating that a good outcome was produced in the normal mice, analogous to the sort of thing that has been produced via stem cell transplants and telomerase gene therapies. But I'd still want to see what happens to the mice over the long term after that, and would expect cancer.
If you can get such a big discount, that's a red flag: the price was bogus, I'm being conned (or, more charitably, a communication error might have been made). It's typical for enterprise purchase of software or IT services, for example, to either discard or put in question offers that are quite below their competitors in the RFP.

But on the other hand, again, when dealing with enterprise purchases, the purchases department needs to demonstrate that they bring value to the table by lowering costs. So it is typical to make what you suggest and account for a commercial discount of 3-10%,depending on purchase size, etc.

You need to fight for it, but you are safe to grant it in the end.

This might happen even if you don't know about it, if your boss sets the prices and you can request a special discount for special clients.
