Spain right now: solar plants off (OK, that's normal, it's night time here), wind plants off, hydro and gas plants mostly off, but burning coal at near maximum capacity while we import energy from Portugal who are also burning coal like madmen.

I already knew that we had serious problems in our grid, caused by politics (overdimensioned gas, insistence on using coal due to pressure by miners, etc.). That's more or less widely known, but I had no idea it was SO messed up. And why the imports when we have most of the renewable sources sitting idle? Wow.
The 12 Hour Problem with Oxycontin
It sounds to me like the driver shouldn't be going 55mph in the first place, if they can't stop before the yellow light turns red.

It's similar to icy roads. If you go the normal speed limit and you slide into another car, it's your fault. The fact that the speed limit was higher than your speed doesn't release the driver from responsibility.
There are still reasonable use cases for mass storage in a laptop: photographs, video, music, etc. And there's a tradeoff of overhead and risk with putting stuff 'in the cloud' in the form of management overhead, network connectivity, and the evaporation of a service upon which someone depends.

Laptop minimalism is just a set of tradeoffs. A Thinkpad X-series or Chromebook isn't for everyone. Neither are Xeons nor Atoms.
For me yes, I find really really difficult to focus at home, even if I live alone there.

I prefer much much more coworking spaces, the more crowded the better for my focus. Ironically is deep silence the thing that disturb me the most.
Well, for one, Breitbart is partisan/ideological news, not fake news. You could ask the same question of left-leaning sources (NYT, WaPo, Huffington, many more) that support Democratic candidates before an election.

Obviously most news outlets will try to influence elections in some way, if they have an editorial stance. And sure, sometimes they may have enough influence to actually shift an election. But "fake news" like "FBI agent murdered by Hillary" or Pizzagate nonsense is a blip on the radar compared to all of the other news sources out there. Those hoax stories probably did not tip the US election at all.
without elite credentials, those with elite credentials will work to discredit the whistleblowers by explaining the information made available to the plebeian was false and included as a test of their loyalty (which they failed).

you're all idiots.
These vignettes aren't about the "underside" of SV. Rather, they go to the very core of what the industry is about.
Don't let perfect be the enemy of good enough.

While most people run Android the same way people run Apple, you can run Android and get your apps from f-droid, and you can run CM (and, if your into these things, Xprivacy), so while Google may still be getting your private data, random apps won't.
I haven't found any reply blog posts yet but I'm curious about rust. Has anyone found a response to the call to action at the bottom of the post?
At boot time or waking up from hibernation, probably. Or when I'm on low power mode.
Just brilliant technology at play there. I had to rewatch a couple of times to really grasp how early the Tesla recognized the emergency braking scenario.

One thing to note is that most dash cams, mine included, shoot at a fairly wide angle. The Tesla was likely following a good bit closer than it appears from the video alone.

This is also an interesting visual demonstration of why that Armco barrier between the opposing directions of traffic is so terrific. It's quite possible that having that in place saved several lives in this accident. It clearly absorbed some of the impact energy and prevented the SUV from crossing into oncoming traffic.
>Why is this a competition you want to win? Seems like a race to the bottom.

Who said I want to win?

>There are no universal "journalistic standards". There are standard to which specific outlets hold themselves to and that's great, but that's hardly an argument to holding others to the same standard.

Well, if I might put forward a positive program, I think that publishing falsehoods under cover of journalism, in a way that harms people's lives, should be a civil offense which the victim can sue for. Let the lawyers duke it out in court: not every case will be ruled the right way, but being sued is itself a penalty that will discourage sleaze.

We already have a moral standard for when "fake" speech stops being free: when it is both false and harmful. I don't think we'll destroy the freedom of Western societies by expanding that to cover, "both bullshit and harmful", and we'll deter quite a lot of genuine harm.
Found it interesting that they have a device which uses X-Rays to look inside a property? What about the health risks to over exposure of X Rays?

Based on some of the things that have been done to me, namely drugging of food perhaps to induce psychosis or something else, being injected with something like a steriod causing me to lose my temper, I wouldnt rule much out when it comes to Govt and all that it enshrines including big corporates fufilling Govt contracts, military depts and so on.

Basically if you can think it, chances are they have already done it.

Thing is, if we are going into a Grand Solar Minimum, the food & fuel security is going to be the main issue so finding ways to control the population is going to be paramount. After all the last time a Grand Solar Minimum happened was over 500 years ago long before scientific meteorological offices existed, and back than it caused things like the Irish Potatoe Famine, French Revolution, Great Fire of London amongst other things. Read Professor Brian Fagan's book on the Little Ice Age https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Books/Little-Ice-Age-Climate-1300... could give you an insight into not only why the big brother tech is really coming out into the open, because back then its thought/estimated 25% of the planets inhabitants died due to famine or cold. Fast forward to today with a great population and you can see why Big Brother is now on steriods.
"The enterprise" already controls the servers (otherwise, they wouldn't be able to configure a static ECDH key on them). Having control of the servers is already equivalent to having full access to the plain text. This only enlarges the security boundary from the server to every machine which could possibly, now or in the future, have access to that static ECDH key. And the default would still be to use a dynamic ECDH key.

Also, how would a browser know it has encountered this behavior? A key might be rotated every few minutes, so just seeing the same key twice is not enough; and the key could be derived from a static key and the TLS nonces, so seeing a different key also means nothing.

That said, I think server vendors should not implement this option. It's too risky, since it could be enabled by accident, incompetence, or malice. It's better to force the few who believe they really need this option to implement it themselves.
In the case of my kid, it's almost always to listen to music, not for screen time. I have several Chromecasts throughout my house, and she knows exactly how to connect to each of them with the Spotify and YouTube Kids apps. So she'll turn on music to the Chromecast in her room then play at her crafting table for a couple of hours while jamming out.

She does enjoy playing games as well, but those are timeboxed and she knows better than to try to pull something off like use my thumbprint to get around me telling her no. When she tries to "sneak" a thumbprint to unlock my iPhone, it's because she likes the self-sufficiency of turning on and choosing music herself (or because it's a song[1] I won't play for her anymore in an effort to maintain my sanity). And I really don't mind that self-sufficiency when she's up at the crack of dawn on a Saturday and is trying to be as non-intrusive as possible to let me lay in until a late 7am or so.

The UK driving test is significantly more rigorous than the US, and it shows: UK drivers are amongst the safest in the world (2nd lowest road fatalities per 100k people; top five per 100k vehicles). The US isn't even in the top fifty (and for calibration to the American reader: Canada is in the top 30, but hey, at least the US beats out Mexico). At the end of the UK practical examination process I would expect all new drivers to be "competent" by this standard.
Returned air cushions would presumably be popped for recycling purposes only, so no, they would not be reusable.

Well, in all fairness with regards to cold, this is going to happen with batteries - it's just their nature. When it's -20ºC out, my old iPhone 4s can only be out for so long before the already depleted battery just dies off.

But this is just the nature of batteries.
I think that you misunderstand the usage of the Optane, it isn't meant to be a cache for an HDD. It will serve as a cache for the NVMe SSD.

In hardware terms even an NVMe SSD's random access is slow compared to DRAM memory.

From the article:
Intel's SRT already has caching algorithms tuned for 16GB to 64GB caches in front of hard drives, so now that they have a solution for mediating access to NVMe SSDs it is simple to enable using both features simultaneously. The changes do need to be added to both the RST driver and to the motherboard firmware if booting from a cached volume is to be supported. Backporting and deploying the firmware changes to Skylake motherboards should be possible but is unlikely to happen.
There's a very rare path from FC associate to the software side at Amazon. I've met a few people who've done it. This includes a senior principle engineer and an L8 director of software.
Something about Vue resonates with me. I won't bash any other frameworks, but for my purposes, Vue scratches the frontend itch.
I've had a 4, 5, 6, and 7 and I've never had this happen once. Your comment seems more like a "LOOK IPHONE DOES IT TOO" than anything meaningful.
The gradient goes from green to black. Black represents a carbon intensity of 700 gCO2/kWH. If you want Poland to be green, Poland has to consume less carbon.

As Polish government being right-wing: Since it's a coalition of two parties, it would be wrong to call the entire government right-wing. But the Law and Justice party certainly is.
This thread has gotten so unwieldy that I now have more arguments than I started with! ;-) But yeah, evolution over revolution.

Perhaps that could be a fun challenge. Take some creaky old thing, have team A re-do it in Rust, have team B do an OpenBSD-style hackathon on it in its native language, let the QA guys and the hackers loose on it, and see which one fares better.
This is such a great project :+1: for putting it together

GPS works entirely through passive reception from satellites. No other connectivity is required. With true GPS, it is impossible for the satellites to know where you are, or even that you are using it. (That also makes it infinitely scalable, as users consume no satellite resources.)

Assisted GPS is an "improvement" which depends on additional data from the cellular network. Which means the cellular network knows you are using it, knows where you are, and can track you.

Edit: Back in my Nokia days, I had phones with true GPS and 100% offline maps, which would work perfectly well for navigation far from any hint of connectivity. No idea whether Android's "Device only" mode is GPS or aGPS.

So Amazon can't get Acer to build them phones or tablets. As most independent manufacturers build Android phones, Amazon had a hard time finding someone to make Fire for them.

Great, now I'm going to have to keep doubling my following distance forever.
I'm kind of the same way.

I went from a Note 4 to a Note 5, and ended up dropping my Note 5 causing the screen/LCD to break and not turn on. It looks like it costs about $300-400 to replace everything after asking a couple of local places, because the parts for this are expensive/out of stock. You might want to see if it's the same thing for the Note 4.

At that price, I'd probably just want to buy a new one.. but as you said, there's not a lot of good smartphones out right now.

I'm using the Note 4 again for now, which is actually a refurb/replacement because the original one's screen died randomly one day (without dropping it this time.)
Yeah.. I agree. It's not really that I don't want to use spark, it's more that I don't want to have to use spark just to convert some data files.

If I can write a short tool that wraps the

spark.read.json(input paths).write.parquet("/target/path")

As

spark.read.json(argv[1]).write.parquet(argv[2])

and then use it like

json_to_parquet /logs/json/2016-12-28.gz /logs/parquet/2016-12-28

or something, that would work.

I just wish there were some more cli friendly tools for the cases where the grep | cut | sort pipeline works, but you'd like to just make it a bit more efficient.
I got a Moto E 2nd gen (2015) and I also have the same issue sometimes with CM14 nightlies, so I would definitely consider it a software issue.
Precisely the problem.

Safe follow distance isn't an evolutionarily-stable strategy. The number of accidents avoided by people following it is more than offset (at least psychologically in the minds of the drivers) by the perception that people are constantly cutting you off if you adhere to it. Since punishments for failing to adhere to it are few and far between, drivers get sloppy.

It's the sort of thing you could, however, program into a robot and expect the robot to adhere to it.

Cats will also fight over dry food. Source: have two cats who like to steal each others' food (dry or wet) and bash each other regularly... and occasionally I'm the victim of full paw bashing in the morning, when they're hungry.

Keep in mind that despite the term "drive", the concrete piles are usually vibrated into place. It is not like driving a fence post with a sledge hammer. Obviously there is still a lot of stress introduced to the concrete column, but it is designed with the stresses in mind. The reinforcing steel takes a lot of the load during the placement process.

I believe that most of the C++ safety stuff happened independently of Rust existing. A lot of it started before Rust was a big thing.
I think you may have misinterpreted my comment.

My intention was in no way to underplay or diminish the achievement of Auto Pilot but to simply make the point that: In this video, of this event Auto Pilot adds nothing. In this case the driver was "alert and competent". This video does NOT showcase or demonstrate Auto Pilot preventing an accident, reacting faster or better than a human.

That is my point. People seem to be extolling how Auto Pilot saved that day in this video. It didn't.
The most succinct and truthful sentiment about language learning that I have come across:

Same here. Moto X 2nd Gen. Likes to turn off around 25-30% at times. Sometimes it seems that if I keep it powered off and charge it over night then turn it on (I often will just plug it in once it turns off and then power it on while it charges) it seems to sometimes then get down closer to 5% before power down. I too suspect it has to do with battery measurement.

I don't think it's fair to say all tech startups are fraudulent, but I agree that like Wall Street, where large amounts of money meet large numbers of fraud cases, we need to improve regulations.
I like how "high level" Rust feels. It doesn't feel like C or something of that ilk.
I know this isn't 'exactly' the same but I can't help but find a coloration to this and Somatosensory Therapy [1].

I've had a traumatic past and I've volunteered at a place that uses Soma. Essentially it's 'creating new memories through play'. It was used for abused/molested children.

I hope Kolk can get some finding for clinical research because I do think there is a possible benefit to role-playing.

Psychology knows that when a child is developing to role-play verbally/physically specific situations, to train a child. I learned this through my college course 'Child Psych.'. I was surprised that there is research on role-playing but...no one in my circle seems to know it's value.

Or in other words, if your child can't be quiet waiting at a doctors office, while you are at home, you'll 'recreate' the situation and talk out what you and the child can do in the situation next time. "I'll play with this toy that I like so much. This will help me pass the time because it's so boring in the waiting room." Etc.

I know what I'm saying isn't the exact situation but there are parallels to role-playing with little humans and adult humans. :)

Yes, batteries definitely need replacing after a year or so, maybe 2 if the original battery was very good quality. Don't go with the cheapest eBay batteries either; Monoprice seems to be good if you buy directly from them. I've had my phone for a long time, partly because of the bad phone options with diminishing key features recently (SD card, removable battery). I've replaced the battery every year, and I can get down to 1% battery. When it runs down faster and can't make it that low, it's time to replace the battery.

Now, why this happens in a brand new phone like the Pixel is another matter...
Road and Track says no.[1] "Except, if you watch the video, you can clearly see cars stopping ahead of the driver who isn't paying attention starting at the two second mark." What you're seeing here is that radars are much better at range rate than vision. Range rate data from a radar is as good at long range as it is at short range.

Fortunately, they were right behind the accident. If the wreckage was stopped and partially blocking the left lane, Tesla's autopilot probably would have plowed into it. Like this fatal crash in China[2] and this non-fatal crash in Germany.[3]

I guess it depends on your animal's feeding habits. My dogs don't overeat, so we just leave the food out and refill it when needed. Dry food, that is. For wet food, they'd just about fight over it.

That's not really the case. It's simply a really hard problem and that's easiest to address early on (recycle somewhat right) than to try and filter useful things out of shredded sludge.
