The DeviantArt platform and community had an immense impact on pushing me creatively in my early teen years and onward. I have not experienced anything like it since. Had it not been for DeviantArt, I'm not sure if I would have pursued my art and design career as early and as seriously as I did.

I truly hope that this chapter will bring the unique magic of DeviantArt to a new audience.

Wind energy production is remarkably volatile throughout the year, especially if wind farms are co-located in the same pathways as is the case in Denmark.

https://apps.axibase.com/chartlab/06c5e0b2/2/#fullscreen

The difference between min and max production for wind is over 100x throughout the year and inter-quartile range is 14 and 52GWh per day.

So you can't really rely on renewables in this type of configuration just yet. Until storage 'problem' is addressed, possible solutions are:

1. Maintain traditional power sources as baseline providers. The problem is figuring out what is the right baseline.

2. Have interconnects with suppliers of non-correlated sources such as Norway's hydropower plants.

3. Built out nuclear.

opmsg does masquerade as gnupg on the cli, if you take this further you could create a gnupg chameleon which detects what keys are available or what the input is based on auxillary info and then invoke the appropriate tool (which might be gnupg, or something else).

on a different note: gnupg is not widely used, signal is.
It may be a question about the implications of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length_extension_attack, which allows computing H(X∥Y) from H(X), len(X), and Y (without knowing X!). I'm not immediately sure how that applies or fails to apply in the case of a hash collision; that's an interesting thing to think through.
Uber's problem was the workplace was toxic. In a former company, as a straight guy I've been hit on by another guy who was my team lead (and well connected). I can tell you it was not comfortable. I ended up leaving to another project as a planned transition, but my initial complaints directly to that team lead were laughed off as "I'm kidding (but I'll try again)".

I bet there are a LOT of unreported such cases.

Susan Fowler's case has less to do with race/gender than sexual harassment and abuse of power. I sure as hell would avoid working there if that kind of behavior goes unchecked.
Where Halbach arrays would excel is in levitating fast moving vehicles. Such levitation is passively self regulating, and uses tracks which can be simply manufactured out of bulk materials. (Basically, make a track out of conductive aluminum loops in the cheapest way you can think of.) Contrast this with maglev technologies that require fast reacting active regulation and supercooled magnets.
How do you think these underlying problems be addressed? Thanks for showing you're willing to dig into this.
Yes, it really is. You have to be careful where you put the colliding blocks, but everything else is open.

The same was true of MD5, and is true of any other block cipher.

It would be interesting to see a breakdown of WHAT Bitcoin are being trading for (e.g. pure investment, black market goods, standard commercial goods/services).

Without a good understand of what drives Bitcoin's use it is hard to tell if this is an investment bubble or legitimate organic growth. I will say I don't run across all too many sites that support payment via Bitcoin, I know they exist, but it hasn't expanded to be commonplace.

But I've read the drug market on e.g. Tor is alive and well. So maybe that drives a lot of this trading.
I, too, work in Visual Studio predominantly. That being said, I've used and liked WebStorm and IDEA. I've played around with Android Studio and as a non-Android developer (someone who just gets an itch to dabble), it is orders of magnitude better than the same experience in Eclipse. An IDE I actually like (or liked. Haven't done Java development in a while, but that web hosted IDE thing looks promising) for regular Java application development.

Android Studio I probably like better than XCode because it feels more akin to Visual Studio. XCode I really want to like, but it feels incredibly foreign vs Visual Studio-like UIs. Though I hear people that love it, so there you go.

So as someone who does mostly scientific computing but within programming-flavored editors (like sublime), I find XCode/ Android Studio/IntelliJ/Visual Studio sort of terrible in their own special and unique ways. But IntelliJ never struck me as being all that bad to be honest.

Eclipse, on the other hand...

I tried android development few years ago and IDE it was horrible. I tried a month ago again and it was still horrible even though it was different IDE.

I'd suggest that a starting point could be to make sure that those hired roughly reflect the diversity of the talent pool being hired from.

If they 'match' - then it's a roughly good indicator that the hiring process 'is fair'.

As far as I know - this is generally true: the ratio of female engs. in the valley is roughly commensurate with the ratio of females graduating from Comp Sci. Which is actually positive news.

Now - that's nowhere near the whole story, but at least it's a crude basic metric.
Interesting. Doing work on both platforms, I have had the exact opposite experience. I used to feel like an empty shell of false hope when on the Android side of things, like trying to babysit a rebellious teenager. I suppose it comes down to preference.

I can definitely say good things about Chris - I remember standing in front of the many racks of servers in LA doing hands-on maintenance with him guiding me over the roar of the fans via phone... I've done lots since then and I'm still impressed at the efficiency they had in both hardware/software for their huge site load and minimal render times. Chris is a very knowledgeable, skilled guy. Angelo was genuine and had a good thing going... also hosted some great dinners and loved to talk shop/tech/nerd out. I really hope this turns out well for all.

The system is also rigged against cost-savings from small providers.

My wife is an ophthalmologist in private practice. Recently, we were looking at the economics of buying a laser to do a common treatment for patients with glaucoma, called a Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT).

Even with a decent understanding of medical reimbursement models in the United States, I was still kind of shocked by what I found.

The laser to perform the procedure costs about $30,000 to purchase.

The Medicare allowable for a physician performing the procedure in a standalone surgery center is about $315. There's really no reason that the procedure needs to be performed in a surgery center, and Medicare does let the physician bill about $30 more if they bought a laser for their office, and performed the procedure there. But, at an increase of $30/procedure, you'd have to be doing a ton of SLTs to make buying your own laser financially attractive vs. just using the local surgery center's.

Where things get crazy, is in terms of facility fees.

If a physician performs an SLT procedure at an ambulatory surgery center, the physician's medicare allowable is about $315, and the surgery center can bill a separate facility fee of about $290, making the total procedure cost medicare just over $600.

If my wife's practice were bought by a hospital tomorrow, and they brought an SLT into her office, every time she performed an SLT in the exact same office that was now hospital owned, they'd be able to bill the $315 physician fee, plus a "hospital outpatient department" (HOPD) facility fee of $443, bringing the total cost of the procedure to over $750.

So, to recap the total costs to medicare:

Physician does the procedure in their privately owned medical practice: $345

Physician does the procedure in a surgery center: $600

Physician does the procedure in a hospital-owned medical practice: $750

You want to know why independent medical providers are getting bought up by hospitals and large health systems at an alarming rate? That's why. Because for doing the exact same thing, they get paid by medicare and private insurance companies (whose rates are largely based off of medicare reimbursement rates) 2x what a provider can on their own.

You hear a lot in the healthcare market about the efficiencies of scale, and how large integrated healthcare organizations are doing amazing things. You don't hear a lot about the potential for independent practitioners to reduce costs, but it's absolutely there, and largely ignored.

That said, medicare is (or at least was under the ACA) moving toward a "pay for performance" model, where instead of getting paid more for doing more angiograms, cardiologists will get paid more for keeping their patients from needing angiograms in the first place. There are still plenty of issues, but I think broadly that's the right direction for healthcare reimbursement to be going.

> If anything, if we want to take computation more seriously, we should adopt a foundation that accounts for non-terminating computation natively... Of course, ZFC is even worse in this regard.

I really don't understand this line of argument, regardless of the conclusion. Does the application of math to physics suggest that we should adopt a logical foundation of mathematics that does not allow expressing speed quantities greater than the speed of light? This notion may not be as far-fetched as it may seem, because the sole justification for defining problems that take an infinite number of steps to compute as "non-computable" in the first place was physical, as was Brouwer's justification for intuitionistic mathematics. Moreover, Turing quickly realized that computability (or its converse, non-termination) are crude approximations for feasibility (or tractability), that was more fully developed later. And we could continue this argument further to any degree, so why stop at computability?

> You can invest in renewable quite easily by purchasing your power from a company that supplies it. It doesn't even require capital or much risk. Often they also provide cheaper power than the big players. The one I use is cheaper, and they also donate money to planting trees, and protecting old growth forests.

Not an option in all states. But yes, this is an option for me that I've been considering. This strategy relies on the local municipal (or state) government on "deregulating" the utility companies. And also on the government to force the utility companies to buy energy from a variety of sources.

There's a lot of "political infrastructure", laws, deals, and agreements, that are needed to make such options a possibility. And it will do good to remember that the "option to buy renewable" isn't an option in many states.

This is a little off topic, but has XCode really gotten that much better? When I was using it back in 2013 it was, by far, the worst IDE I had ever used. Less functional than eclipse with the same ability to consume all my ram. It also crashed constantly and randomly.
Do you know of anybody that's actually using merkle torrents? I expect they're probably being used in some limited scenarios, but they're probably less than 1% of BitTorrent activity, so it's a bit misleading to refer to it when defending BitTorrent's security model.

That was true in Sotirov's MD5 collision attack (which I mentioned elsewhere in this thread) and is no longer true because of CA/B Forum rule changes requiring randomized serial numbers (currently, containing at least 64 random bits).
