Well, my preferred solution is gigantic offshore tidal power generators in the Minch and around the top of Scotland where there are strong currents, preferably combined with hundred-kilometre-wide offshore wind farms (if you're building power generation structures in the open ocean anyway, you're an idiot if you don't put massive wind turbines on top of them).

Tide is one of the few renewable technologies that generates reliable power, and so is suitable for baseline load. Even in Scotland, the wind drops. But it's had very little investment, partly because of a poor reputation from horrific ecological damage caused by tidal barrages in the past, but mostly because wind is sexier.

But plants big enough to actually make a difference are going to be very, very big. Microgeneration is great for small rural communities, but we live in cities these days.

Here's a new 320MW tidal lagoon being built in Wales: http://www.tidallagoonpower.com/projects/swansea-bay/ These only work when attached to a coastline, though.
You are correct. But I find his argument to be BS.

1) if it is a simple number, it will be _easier_ to notice it rising.

2) For sure most people using software have no clue what it does. If the software told them they owe 1k more, they would pay it. So when he says that making it simpler would mean people wouldn't notice change to the tax code etc... well, I have a hard time believing they would notice in today's system!

I think he is full of s__t. He should be for a simpler system were the focus is not on detailed expenses and what not but on a simple number. This actually makes it easy to know if they went up. Intuit can then provide a software "why did my taxes go up" if it feels like it :)

From what I can tell all three of those are hard to get. Explicit junior positions are fairly rare, remote positions are rarer and filled with the globe's worth of competition as opposed, and self-taught developers struggle with recognition.

For the self-taught a good demonstration project is a good cure for this but that is not an easy task.

Good luck with the search.

Oh come on, I'm the one defending the idea that government can be positive and serve the people. But we can't honestly suggest that this is what it IS already like it's the plain truth. It's just something it sometimes sorta is (lots of examples that live up to the ideal, lots that don't). It's a premise that is possible. Governments always have been historically run by powerful interests and not actually lived up to democratic ideals.

It was actually not science that the original ban was based on. Who knows whether the new EPA chief is basing the reversal on science or politics, but the end effect is probably a better policy than throwing bans around on chemicals that have major benefits reducing crop failures, starvation, pain, and suffering.

How much are you willing to pay the nine teams of scientists whose experimentation fails to yield any useful medications for every one that works?

The problem is that most people only want to pay for the ones that work.

Thankfully there are companies that manage that market risk taking on our behalf and take a fee for the service.
It means everybody's bill can be lower than if they had an additional generating facility that they only sometimes needed but still have to pay off all of the capital and maintenance costs, and possibly fuel if it is a diesel plant which is typical for small islanded systems.

I think it is a victory if the community can work together to use less power when there is less supply rather then people using as much as they want and forcing rolling blackouts.
The rational move would be to err on the side of caution instead of potentially creating another asbestos, DDT, or thalidomide risk here. The EPA's previous decision was a 100% rational public policy decision based on solid science, regardless of how partisans try to spin it.

Well, that's certainly a lot more evidence than most Trump 'scientific' policies like climate change being a "Chinese hoax." Funny how Trump supporters ignore how terrible he is on science yet somehow find nitpicking justifiable on legitimate studies to defend his odious views.

Also its a lie to say there's only one study on chlorpyrifos's effect on humans and the environment. Heck the article even states based 'partly' on the study you are criticizing.

The DDT or asbestos or lead ban wasn't good for some parts of society either, yet it was the greater good that mattered. There are other pesticides and the targeted economic sectors can handle changes from regulations by migrating to different chemicals and processes. The oil and automotive industries didn't collapse when we told them to stop putting lead in gas, for example.

I deal with Express Scripts and CVS Caremark. I have Hemophilia, a bleeding disorder condition I've been born with.

By far, these are the most corrupt organizations in the medical/drug industry. At least the phrama companies actually make something at the end of the day and do research, and employ more than just business people. I am forced by whatever insurance plan I have, to deal with these companies directly because they have whats called a "carve out" -- an exclusive agreement with the major insurance carriers that requires I deal with them directly. I literally have no choice or alternative from which to get my medication.

The reason is clear: my medication costs between $60,000 - $150,000 per month. I'm not kidding, either. It's been this way forever, despite the patents expiring on the medication. Its so lucrative and it makes me ill that so many people are benefiting and using me as some kind of financial conduit due to my medical condition. A significant amount of the money goes to one of these companies. They literally have a markup on the medication on a per-unit basis. So they tack on 20% or 30% to each unit of my medication (think pills, but its actually IU potency units -- its an IV medication I give to myself).

I'm fortunate that, because of these extreme costs, these companies have actually worked out in my favor: they have a dedicated rep assigned to me, and continually renegotiate their position with the insurance carriers to maximize their profit (I'm a high-profit user and thus very important to them).

These companies have no interest in getting costs down, and actually fight for the opposite. A few years ago they bullied the drug companies into offering a co-pay assistance program so they can literally take my insurance for all its worth. Their goal is to max out whatever benefits I have, and at that point usually the patient can be a blocker because they don't have the money for the maximum yearly deductible. However, they basically worked with/forced the drug companies into creating a co-pay program, then raised up the prices for the first order of the year. What happens is the first order I place is always more expensive, and then it gets discounted by some amount (usually my yearly co-pay). I don't have to pay this money however, it comes directly from the manufacture's co-pay assistance program.

So I guess its a triumph in the fact I don't really have to pay much -- if anything for my medication, but that's only because its extreme high price. I'm sure its not like this for other people on the middle and lower ends of the system.

I subscribed to this school of thought in college.

Many, many wire protocols use 5 bits of bandwidth to send 4 bits of information, for various reasons. So dividing by 10 gives you a better estimate.

Of course when gigabit became a thing, your practical throughput was more like 75 MBps for a very long time, and being off by 25% in capacity planning is a pretty big error (one I've seen numerous engineers make, and a few make both, which means you're off by 40%)
Pretty much all of OS development, low level libraries, device drivers etc, are atypical. So are compilers assemblers linkers. Programs that need to allocate and release tens of gigabytes at a time, high performance parallel code etc.

Any language that wants to present themselves as a replacement for C/C++ hast to have at least a reference implementation of all those things so people can start to evaluate (the system).

No one is going to invest the time or the resources into a language to replace what we have if its not an actually up to the task. No one needs another programming language sitting on top of C/C++ that kind of makes things a little better for one class of bugs but will never really replace C/C++ and our our system interfaces.

There is a long list of languages that have made that claim and most of it has turned out to be hot air and marketing.

I judge the quality of the subreddit by the signal-to-noise ratio for posts, by the insight and intelligence of the comments, and by the extent to which is provides content that cannot be found through simple googling. Most knitting subreddits do not have this. Again, do you have specific examples?

I don't know why you think my opinion of r/SpaceX is driven by some obsession with rocketry. I am much less interested in SpaceX than in a dozen other hobby topics, but that subreddit stands out in the objective quality of the moderation and community. Likewise, HackerNews is one of the higher quality places for discussion on the internet even though I do very little programing.
Norway's sovereign wealth fund is managed on behalf of all the people of Norway and there are political systems in place that grants those people some influence over how that money is used, and who benefits from it.

Bezos' wealth (and all the massive political power it represents) is almost totally unaccountable. This is the real problem of wealth inequality. It's not that some people have more material goods than others. It's that levels of wealth like that undermine the political systems that we have constructed to seek fair, just, and peaceful resolution of disputes. It is a road to tyranny.
I don't know, man. If you're trying to make a serious point about health, do you have to cite your expertise as an ogler of women? It sounds like you're trying to allude to something we're all supposed to know, that people past a certain percentage of body fat are all inactive and lazy.

Maybe what you meant was that, all things being equal, someone who is strong and healthy is more attractive. That's probably true.

But as upofadown pointed out, there are lots of people who are very healthy and strong, and exercise a lot, but their body shape or fat percentage doesn't conform to the desires of the average voyeur.
I wouldn't put it as strongly--I think valid criticism can come from someone who hasn't "put something together"--but at the same time I think a lot of the criticism in this area isn't all that valid.

Maybe I missed it in this story, but this anecdote about Poincare himself is apropos:

"The famous French mathematician Henri Poincaré was very interested in mathematical creativity. He describes a period of hard and seemingly fruitless effort to solve a problem, from which he took a break to join a geological expedition. As he was stepping on a bus, he made one of the most important breakthroughs of his life. The solution came to him out of nowhere, and was accompanied by a perfect certainty as to its correctness"

> I'd love to have easy pay-per-view access, as easy as iTunes rentals, to various sports events (think the Olympics, world cup of X, that sort of thing) and for some select sports a season pass (huge NHL fan here – go Rangers!)

There's no legal way to get live access to sporting events, since those are held by TV channels that have a vested interest in you buying back into a bundle (especially for the Rangers -- their ownership structure includes the TV channel that airs their games).

However, you can get delayed games. The out-of-market package puts up replays 48h after the game broadcast finishes, and various online shops have a curated selection of games each year[0].

Basically, the whole situation is a toxic mess that's built on a crumbling foundation. Teams are owned by cable operators that retain the exclusive live broadcasts for their sports networks (or sell the rights at a premium to national channels), and have no incentive to step outside the bundle. It's a bubble, through-and-through.

> Right now it seems pretty common to translate Bayesian experimental results sloppily into frequentist ones to get them past reviewers.

This is interesting. I'm glad for a different perspective. I chalk this up to differences across fields, because my experience is so different. My advisor learned Bayesian statistics from Arnold Zellner a few decades ago, and his synopsis of the class was: "It was great in theory, but we could't implement it." Once computers made if more possible, it seems to have spread rather quickly, possibly because computing power was the last piece of a mostly complete puzzle.

It's almost to the point that reviewers prefer the Bayesian approach, in my neck of the academic woods.
