I remember seeing a bunch of information when they did this for Obama's inauguration. They used a normal Canon DSLR and a GigaPan Epic Pro, which is a device that will pan, tilt, and trigger a bunch of images in an overlapping grid. Then you stitch all of the photos together using software to unstretch, align, and feather the edges (there's a bunch out there). They then touch up the results. It's not completely automated like most phone software is, so they can fix difficult seams and other issues.

It would be extraordinary case law indeed that could override that specific enumeration of the class subject to the statue.

This battery project can be built in small increments and does not require local land in a proper geometry that can be flooded. Most good pumped storage possibilities in the US are built out already. Pumped storage also wastes more of the stored energy.

It took 7 years to build the hydro facility? Wow.
Real estate is typically much more leveraged than sticks, leading to far higher returns for owners .
Keep in mind that most of this published research is about smoking cigarettes (using "nicotine" as a metonymy).
> MW are a measure of power, not energy. You mean MW-h. It's incorrect to say something has a MW capacity when discussing energy storage.

He's quoting TFA,

> With a capacity of 20 MW/80 MWh

It would seem sensible that the system has both metrics: a total capacity of storage, and a total rate at which it can supply that storage to things connected to it.

Further, my understanding is that the parent you're responding to is correct: pumped-storage hydro tends to have much greater generation rates; Wikipedia lists an example of 360MW.
Again I am not saying that the current system is good just that you can get access to that kind of treatment if you can afford being on the right healthcare plan. In a single payer system like the Danish you don't even have the potentially.
All operators have worked fine for over two years. They announced this back then.
Single payer would be ideal for most Americans, but (opponents) seem to prefer the high deductible health plans

I think a single-payer system would be far more efficient, but the problem is: how do you just "shut down" a huge economic system (insurers, for-profit providers) and keep it Constitutional? They have equity in their current structures, but how do you fairly compute a "fair market value" for their market share and investments when you effectively use Eminent Domain (unless you could amend the Constitution accordingly) to dismantle an entire industry?

I can imagine how Britain's NHS could be created in a time of great national unity, scarce resources, and complete Labor control, but I can't picture the mechanism by which health care could be nationalized in the present-day USA, even if a popular mandate existed.
Very good point. My comment is <1h old so I was able to edit it. IMO this issue was unsealed a little hastily; yes, it's not directly attackable now, but as you say the attack vector is still technically there.

Not so long ago I had to move some money between two different accounts (both mine, but at different banks). It took a week of back and forth, form signing and getting the banks talking to each other to complete the transaction all because they deemed the signature they had on file to not be similar enough to the one I signed with when I tried to initiate the transfer. It wasn't even that much money.

Gamification is the only area where you really can't run out of ideas. Find ways to pull some of this sensor data, whether from the smartphone, the Nike+, the fitbit, etc, and create games out of it. That would also seem to be a good easy way for a young developer to get something simple but finished (rather than complex but unfinished).

It could be just a basic competition among friends -- whoever walks the most steps in a day gets a badge. Or you could do something crazy like Pokemon Go except where the Pokemons run away from you at a 10 minute mile pace (6 mph) when you spot them, and you have to chase them down. Or do an internet-of-things project where you change your TV channel by doing the corresponding number of push-ups. These ideas are free of charge, you're welcome.

Unfortunately, each of those libraries are just 100% JavaScript, not utilising the native Material Design components within Android, and thus end up being _really_ slow, particularly when remote debugging and rendering lots of those components on screen at once.

There really needs to be a library which bridges the native Android (and iOS) modules and React Native, in order for React Native to be more useful and used more.
But they can remedy that cost by getting more insured into their fold.

My point though: Just because it may be easy for you doesn't work for everyone. I called 3 different hospitals for a procedure, and none of them had any idea how to go about quoting me anything. I got transfered around a lot because they honestly didn't have a procedure for quoting. And I honestly doubt that any of them gave me an correct quote, because if they don't even know how to quote, what are the chances that their quote is accurate?

I'm not sure what you mean by bullying. The biggest thing I see is that there are true value clashes. Some cultures have more difficulty than others. I see more Americans and British people having problems than some other cultures, for example.

Americans in particular often believe that Japanese attitudes are morally wrong. And it's not so much bullying as it is that Japanese cultural stances are immovable. You can throw yourself against that wall as much as you like and it is not going to budge. So if you honestly believe that some things are morally wrong and you call people out on it... well you are going to grind yourself into dust.

Although I shouldn't get too carried away, I'll tell one last story. When I worked at the high school here, my supervisor was trying to get me to work without compensation on weekend (there was a special event). All of the other teachers got a day off in lieu, but my supervisor didn't want to upset the apple cart by trying to get the same treatment for me (I was on contract, so played by different rules). This is pretty typical, and I've seen other foreigners absolutely get squashed by the system as they try to preach about worker's rights.

Instead, we had a drinking party that week. So I sat down with the department head and a bottle of nihonshu (Japanese sake) and we preceded to enjoy ourselves. At the appropriate time (just before he passed out), I casually asked him if the regular teachers were getting time off in lieu. He said, "Of course". I laughed and said something about the unfortunate lives of those who work on contract. He stood up (unstably) and assured me, "No! It's not right. We can fix this!". At which point he yelled over to the principal on the other side of the room, "We can get a day of in lieu for Mike-kun here, right? He's a good guy!" To which the principal laughed and said, "Of course, of course!".

My supervisor was clearly livid the next day as he brought the schedule and asked me when I wanted to have my day off. This is Japan.

I've got a good idea what the cycle limit is at normal discharge rates for these batteries, but the tricky thing in the calculation here is that the discharge rate is around 0.6C. That's very low (batteries of a similar size can put out fifty times that comfortably.)

Discharge rate affects the usable cycles. So with an 80% cutoff 10C discharge you might get 300 cycles, but with a 1C discharge you might get 500 and a 0.5C discharge you might get 600. Given the very low discharge rate, I'm guessing these will be ran for around 500 to 1000 cycles, but that's just a rough estimate and the real number could lie anywhere between 300 and 3000. Temperature, pressure, charge rate, etc. all affect this.

The input values are image arrays 120x160 pixels with 3 channels for red,green,blue. The values range from 0-255 and are not normalized before they are fed into the convolution layer. I found this did not make a difference.

The output of the model is a single real number between -90(left) and 90(right). I believe a better approach would be to bin the outputs and use a classifier. This way you'd know when the model was getting confused (ie, approaching a perpendicular line.

Corrosion from leaking electrolyte would eventually short the battery terminals to the protective shield around the battery cells. At that point the battery would catch fire. It just happened to me 3 months ago, 2002 Prius on a battery that was serviced for the recall in 2004. Electrolyte continued to leak, obviously. :/

I read the same from the artist Leon Ferrari [2] [3] he was an engineer and the son of an artist. His father told him to have a career and just then be an artist. This was an anti-fragile advice.

Terrific comment, as usual. This is the key insight everyone. It's not about where the puck is today (of course this project is small and expensive relative to mature tech), it's about where the puck could be in 5-50 years. If battery costs continue to fall with economies of scale, and they become the least-cost solution, they would be bring characteristics that today's least-cost solutions lack. Batteries are modular, dense, and can be deployed extremely quickly. You don't need a years-long permitting and construction process to deploy them. If they continue following the cost curve they're on, they may change how grid planning is done, and even change the grid's very topology.

In the Christensen sense, batteries may be truly disruptive - a new technology that is initially inappropriate but brings with it undervalued characteristics (like deployment speed/modularity) that eventually can change how business is done.
I realize it really depends on individual situations, but let me just say this: I have no problems managing a 9-5:30 work-life at Amazon.

Employers, customers, and coworkers tend to overestimate the importance of their issue. Employees tend to underestimate how much they can push back, prioritize, or say "no". The answer is not long working hours.

If everyone is accustomed to your 9-8 work hours, it might take time to roll back... but it can be done.

And if your company refuses to give you a reasonable work-life balance? Leave.
I have also been programming for over 30 years. I agree with you when the problem is small but all the rules change when it is bigger. If you are not up to it then it does not matter how much you care, and I do want people who care working on stuff, but at scale if it is not really good then the chances of failure are much higher.

I've long observed Synology's tech and thought it pretty cool, but in this case I'm trying to consolidate as much as possible onto one machine. I'm trying to find something i3-compatible which has a few PCI slots (ahahaha) - if I can, I can toss one of the old Creative X-Fis I have here in it and get amazing sound straight off the machine with the disks in it, and I can also use some of the other PCI cards I have here too (my pile of junk doesn't have any PCI-E stuff in it yet).

My main focus is just saving up for the HDDs right now. My goal is 5 5TB or 8TB disks so I can use raidz5, which offers 60% storage efficiency and the ability to lose any two disks without issue. The 18-24TB of space is actually needed right now in order to do some serious dedupe across the literally dozens of HDDs I've collected over the years - I've been needing a consolidated file server for about a decade, things have finally snowballed to the point where some of the disks are clicking and I haven't had access to my data for about a year now, heh.

PS - Australia's Internet situation is basically a gigantic laugh (I can only get ADSL2+ - 80KB/s upload :D - where I live), or I'd have pushed everything over to a friend in the States who's letting me borrow his ZFS pool until I get my own set up.

Sure, but under that classification people from India are generally treated as "Asian". (Which is itself a problem, but a separate one). For a person who's of Punjabi descent to self-identify as "white" is - well, let's just say it's highly unusual and leave it at that.
Can you flip the Tessa numbers around so they match up respectively to the pumped storage plant numbers?
I mostly agree with this comment. React Native offers a really bare bones solution, that you often have to find yourself going out to the community and looking for community supported libraries to make an application that is just a bit more complicated than the React Native tutorial. Even still, libraries that _should_ exist are non-existent or severely lacking.

Development seems slow - they haven't managed to fix their "single-threaded JavaScript" performance woes which has been plaguing them for years, their provided navigators are horrible, they have no "native" default components (no native radio group controls, combo boxes, etc), no built-in push notification support, and their animations and performance are _slow_.

For relatively simple apps without a focus on native "feel", it is fine and very fast to develop with.

Not at all. Their strategy has almost no practical level in any existing poker game. They've come up with a solution to a variant of poker that no one actually plays.

It's a great solution, and at that stack size, I'm sure it's better than nearly every human competitor. But until they solve all stack sizes down to one big blind, their strategy is practically incomplete.

Could you elaborate on the etc etc.? I work at a company that has a handful of full time remote people. They're mostly senior engineers who had to move for personal reasons but were too valuable to part with. We have Slack, we have networked conference rooms, we have email. We fly them in a few times a quarter.

Those employees do a good job on their work, but they're still compartmentalized. They don't participate in company-funded culture/morale boosting activities. They can't really break a problem down at a whiteboard with a group of engineers who are in the office. They can't participate in much of the interviewing process that brings new people into the company. They can't get coffee with that random junior person in sales who has some great ideas about the product but is hesitant to schedule a formal meeting with a senior engineer who's surely busy with far more important things. You get the picture...

I believe that a "remote-first" organization can work with the right people, but how does a primarily on-site org accommodate remote workers?

The stakes are pretty high to get "curious" with applying medical treatments. So it's not surprising that the field selects (or teaches) them to dampen their curiosity. There's malady A whose treatment options are {a,b,c..}. The algorithm of treating the malady doesn't align itself with being curious. From an outsider, it seems like the difficulty in being an MD lies in knowing all the maladies and correctly applying their respective treatments (while not making mistakes).
