That will only happen if they see each other as going for the same sources of funds. The one is in .de the other in the United States to I doubt that that would happen.

Even so, it would be hilarious. Maybe we can set them up? Mail them both saying you're ready to pre-order but are also looking at the other?

Incredible that Moller is still going at it and that he still manages to get more money. Elizabeth Holmes could learn a thing or two from Moller.
less CO2, NOX, sulfur dioxide, radioactive particles, PM10 and PM2.5
It is clear that the context is to highlight infrastructural changes leading to less coal usage and in that context the title makes total sense.

With even a mild awareness of the world around you that context is pretty quickly inferred.
Yes, there are elements of racial and class tension in Singapore, but not significantly more than any other major city on earth.

The US certainly does not prop the government up, unless you mean propping it up by inaction or non-intervention.

As to the elements of authoritarianism, a lot of people would argue that the material and social benefits of living in an efficient, forward-thinking state outweighs the subtle elements of state control/overreach.
I think take home tests are the best way to go.
This brings up a very important point. Electricity supply must be carefully balanced with demand and so that's why most regions have ISO (independent system operators) to facilitate the coordination needed to maintain system balance.

Typically coal and nuclear power plants are "base" load stations, providing always-on capacity. It's not always possible to vary their output to match demand, so typically (natural) gas power plants are used to match the remaining variable load. The start up/shut down cycle for these plants is far less costly.
Natural gas releases significantly less carbon for the equivalent energy. It's also much cleaner.

A gas stove is natural gas, and they exhaust right into the house. You'd never do that with coal.
your comment is clickbait.

German 'environmentalists' (I use that word ironically) are indeed something else. They did this after Fukushima. Are they afraid there'll be a baltic sea tsunami?

Very cool write up. If you like this, and aren't familiar you should definitely check out Pat Metheny's orchestrion:

This seems to be an unfair reading of that sentence. A fairer interpretation might be closer to "right tool for the right job". Certain topics or materials can be more easily understood when viewed with the right framework. In physics, for instance, calculus yields results that mere algebra and trigonometry cannot easily provide. It's not that calculus is easy, but that with it (the framework, point of view), the physics becomes easy.

EDIT: After reading more, I stand by this. And Grothendieck seemed to specialize in creating those frameworks.
Hmm, is there a reason for NOT offering a guarantee?

It's per IP so if the loading is done in a distributed fashion, say via AJAX, it'll work fine.

I'm not aware of rate limits for individual repos. I think they can set it up if they want but it's not enabled by default. I remember a package manager hammering GitHub with anonymous requests that they limited but that was a special case.
Ask HN: Do you feel just not doing anything after work?
I work from 8 am to 5:30 pm. After, 5:30 pm I have free time until 11 pm. I sleep for 6 hrs on weekdays and 8-9 hrs on weekend. The problem is that I recognize I have free time of at least 4 hrs, but I end up doing nothing. Well, reading hacker news, reddit and other meaningless stuff. I am single and it's very hard to find something that is of interest to me. It's very very hard to find a woman to date and marry actually. I believe tinder and alike dating apps has killed dating possibility almost one hundred percent. Now, add it to the fact that American women don't date SE immigrants unless they knew each other from college or something.

I know I want to create a small side business or may be a simple website, but day after day I end up doing nothing. Then I feel bad that I wasted so much time I had.
I am not sure how to get out of this loop. I think it might be mild depression or lack of vitamin d that is causing low energy but taking vitamin d suppliments does not make a lot of difference.

Anyone faced similar dilemma? What did you do?
> significantly racially charged

Could you cite some evidence for this? I don't see anything to that degree in wikipedia.

> class-entrenched society

What does that mean? Is it significantly different than the US? I can see people using the terms "racially charged, class-entrenched society" to increasingly describe us as well.

> It's disgusting that the US props it up.

I had never heard that the US props up Singapore before. Care to provide some evidence?
You could use Google App Engine if you are comfortable transitioning to a NoSQL database. Free for a certain amount of storage/accesses, cut off at your limit or pay as you go.

Caltrain (the heavily dysfunctional system serving a minor portion of the San Francisco Bay Area) is similar, but a little less convenient --

Tag in and forget to tag out, you pay the maximum fare.

Forget to tag in, hope you don't get checked. There is no option to tag out without having tagged in. (Although I've seen this happen to someone, and he was just given a warning.)

Get checked without having tagged in, pay $400, which is about 30 times the maximum fare.
> Why not stand up a Discourse instance

Worth noting that hackers who use workarounds like this are doing it for the fun and since it looks like an unmonetized personal blog, OP presumably would prefer not having a monthly bill for servers.

For any serious project, I agree that discourse is a great option or maybe a custom built comments solution depending on the use case.
That and you need a GitHub login to comment and it'd be tied to it permanently. I'd imagine that solves quite a bit of the spam problem though.
People are scared of nuclear in Poland due to the accident in the neighbour country, but it will have to happen. It's sustainable to mine bituminous coal for 20 years. Lignite will stay a bit longer unless solar or thorium will take over.
No, because that is my parents.

If I was worried, I'd tell the payment cards to stop sending me mail.
To be fair, it wasn't the environmentalists who suddenly got the urge to do this after Fukushima: the anti-nuclear movement had been talking about that for decades, and surely not for fears of "baltic sea tsunamis". Fukushima was when the then-current government suddenly found it opportune to quickly reverse their reversal of the plan to slowly phase out nuclear power.

And how to deal with energy mix problems is a topic with widely varying opinions among people you might classify as environmentalists.

Alphabet claims Uber was hiding the self-driving tech that it allegedly copied
significantly racially charged ... could you cite some evidence for this?

All the lowest rung jobs in Singapore are done by Indian/Indonesian/Philippino migrant workers who are allowed in to the country under significantly restricted rights.

class-entrenched ... what does that mean?

It means wealth runs deep between generations, and the society is significantly stratified.

the US props up Singapore

In exchange for looking the other way on Singapore's fascist dictatorship and history of large scale regional money laundering, the US receives the right to use the island as a strategic military base and regional signals intelligence collection point.
If you do this in JavaScript, you won't be able to use many standard array operations or get standard array performance. The specification explicitly only supports non nonnegative indices for real arrays.

You're just using Object/map behavior, and if you're doing that with negative indices on an Array Object you're misusing it.
What was it that convinced you: the unsourced comment or the assertion at the end that actual research is needed?

It's network-related per the status page.

I asked on irc and they're "revalidating things" and close to being up.

Update: "unlikely" related to power issues today per IRC.
I'm aware of the details of Cap'n Proto.

But I thought since Avro is somewhat similar to capnproto and it uses Serde (in Rust) then capnproto could/should too.

But it sounds like it is a "should not"
What they should probably be using is a lower color temperature, and likely a lower intensity. Light with a lower color temperature has the majority of its energy in the red/yellow end of the spectrum, and that has a lesser impact on night vision.

I see the article says the intend to dim the lights, which is probably the most important factor.
Natural gas is primarily methane (CH4) with about half the energy coming from burning hydrogen, compared to 100% coming from carbon in the case of coal, so you get about %50 CO2 for the same amount of energy produced.
Whether you run a bug bounty or not, there are now hundreds of people in Asia and Eastern Europe who hope to make $500 every time they find a page without X-Frame-Options set. A lot of them have pirated Burp Suite and are hoping to simply cash in on the scanner output.
The white LEDs make me think of housing projects since they often have brighter non-sodium flood lights (to deter mischief ), in contrast to the next block over which would have sodium.

FWIW: the status page has a manual-control aspect.
It's an interesting moral bargain. Give up any rights to free speech and Internet freedom; in return get a well functioning government and municipal services.

Sure, they still house the huddled (brown) masses in ghettos, but they're making progress with public housing for natives.

But it's still hot as hell all the time all year. No thanks.
This is great! We recently released a tool that allows computational social scientists to analyze text using a set of lexicons generated from word embeddings (https://github.com/Ejhfast/empath-client). Would be awesome to port this automatically to new languages.
I think that's a more accurate reason. And it's equally likely that theranos just turned down investors that tried to dig too deep.
The larger problem with newer headlights isn't so much the HID or LED source, but the fact that nearly all cars are coming with projectors. Even halogen looks really bright to oncoming traffic when it's focused down to come out of a small-diameter source. I would be interested to see what we could do with lower power LEDs in an array -- same or more light actually hitting the road, but potentially much less glare to oncoming drivers.
My first store demo of an A500 was an educational title that taught German with full audio samples using a point and click interface. My dad bought the thing with practically zero convincing from his excited kids.
Why does the final example in figure 14 fail completely? The outputs are correct as far as they go, but they're all incomplete.

Is it because the scoring metric has a point where enough of a good start outscores an alternative in the beam search that could lead to a more complete solution? In non-trivial real-world examples, would the be a major problem?
What about letting people provide code they've already written? It might take more effort to come up with good questions, but the answers should be more interesting.
Another way to control for it is to increase or decrease lighting in some locations while leaving others the same and see what changes occur to crime rates. That has been done at least once, in Chicago where low-output lights were replaced with much brighter lights in some alleys but not others, with controls for various demographic factors and prior crime rates.

The result was that crime increased where brighter lighting was used. One plausible explanation is that committing crimes, like most human activities is easier when there's sufficient light to see what you're doing, and using a flashlight is a poor option when you want to avoid calling attention to your illegal behavior.

Internet of Things – How it Impacts on our daily life
Internet of Things (IoT) is a technology that is been rapidly spreading around the world, Do You Want to Know it in Detail how it Impacts on our daily life...??
Check out this video to know about it..

https://youtu.be/R0sycn_sjbQ﻿
Having an interest in ethnomusicology, my favorite testimony of Britain's tumultuous dropping of coal is the song Coal Not Dole. It's originally a poem written by the wife of a laid-off coal miner. Dropping coal may be considered inevitable in retrospect - but it's interesting to see the perspective of people caught up in these changes, whose lives were disrupted and sometimes ruined in the process.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xk2hGp6HCn8

It stands so proud, the wheel so still
A ghost-like figure on the hill
It seems so strange, there is no sound
Now there are no men underground

What will become of this pit-yard
Where men once trampled, faces hard?
Tired and weary, their work done
Never having seen the sun

Will it become a sacred ground?
Foreign tourists gazing round
Asking if men once worked here
Way beneath this pit-head gear

Empty trucks once filled with coal
Lined up like men on the dole
Will they e're be used again
Or left for scrap just like the men?

There'll always be a happy hour
For those with money, jobs and power
They'll never realise the hurt
They cause to men they treat like dirt
Totally. I commute (and locomote in general) via an electric bike here in Tokyo, where such bikes are very common.

You can get just as hard of a workout as with a manual bicycle — it's just that you go faster and cover more distance.

However, it also gives you the option to pedal lightly and rely on the motor more, when getting sweaty isn't convenient.

I'm going to go against the grain and say homework assignments work for me. If I know that I would perform better at them instead of a whiteboard code test then I would take the time. But I think you can see the bias here, the people that are interested in taking a homework assignment over in person interviews are ones that prefer them.
NIST is another.
Whenever I've had a problem with a hire, it has never been a competence problem. If I gave those people code problems, they would have knocked them out of the park, I still would have hired them, and I still would have had the problem.

Wow -- last time I was in the market for a house, I looked at some older homes. One had this funny little fireplace that looked too small for an actual wood fire. Must have been for coal. Never knew that was the reason.

Legal limits on headlight intensity have been increased several times. In the US, before 1978, it was 37,500 candela. Now, it's 150,000. This isn't just a technology issue; it's not terribly difficult to get 150,000 candela from a halogen incandescent bulb given a decent size reflector or a focusing lens.
Oh I don't think it should be free. They should definitely compensate you at a reasonable market rate for a couple hours of effort.
> the catch is that it isn't doing classical (logical) type-checking, but, instead, it "type-checks" by inspecting with random samples.

So it's almost nothing like Idris, which is geared towards formal verification.

All of these unsound type systems make development and refactoring easier, but you don't really know what type checks are being done at a lower level.

TS* has (had) an untrusted type for input from potentially hostile adversaries. I would have preferred to do high-assurance client side code development in that, but it's no longer maintained.
My father is a (technically literate, he used to be a database architect) lawyer, and the general advice he gave me was that if you are in a situation where you have a critical vulnerability you should disclose it through a lawyer anonymously -- your identity is then protected under attorney-client privilege (assuming you haven't just asked your lawyer to commit a crime by disclosing it).

IANAL though.
I was actually surprised when Kaspersky announced NIC.br was compromised and many banking sites where hijacked.
If I remember correctly, they (NIC.br) identified a vulnerability but then denied Kaspersky claims.

The full quote seems to indicate patience more than arrogance.
He had a suspicion, but no logical reasoning, until one was offered here on HN. That logical reasoning seemed rational and persuasive so he chooses to believe it.

Your snark is awfully unwarranted and entirely unwelcome.
Thank you for saying truth.
This completely true, but Singapore's propaganda goes over so well that people on hacker news don't want to hear it. Singapore handles its financials well as a country and that is about it. The extreme difference in the quality of life between the haves and have-nots is disgusting. There is no freedom of speech, the government is a sham democracy, and people's 'rights' are basically non-existent.
It's not renewable, but there's a ton of it. Gas also has very low particulate and other emissions.

It's also more economical. Something like a coal or nuclear plant produces power whether you need it or not.
To save others a click: it's slightly less than a factor of two better. 214-228 lbs C02 per btu, vs. 117 for natural gas.
Distributed DBs are hard; bringing new contributors up to speed is really hard. They'll be able to hire some, but finding random OSS contributors is HARD. Very hard.
> AWS isn't a cash cow.

Wow... I thought HN does not have people who would make such statement. Did you see the quarterly report?... That's a 14B business on a 23.5% profit margin, and still under relentless price cutting, and are gaining market everyday from traditional IT service company...

> it's peanuts compared to the valuation.

I dont know what to say. It's started in 2006, and now is 14B. If this says anything, this just shows how strong Amazon's business is! AWS alone is worth 100B market cap, and it's just a peanut to Amazon.

I am not sure you are downplaying Amazon's success, or just trying to point out how impressive they really are.

I've seen plenty of minds changed in discussions with libertarians. But I agree that the odds that any one debate will lead to a consensus being reached are very low. Debates where one side insists on a politically incorrect position are especially unlikely to lead to anyone's mind being changed. Anecdotally, I used to oppose "market fundamentalism", and there would have been no hope of a free market advocate winning me over. So I agree that 99% of the time it's futile. But there is that rare occasion where someone learns something new. I've personally learned a lot from those who disagree with my market fundamentalist positions.
If you can't provide numbers, then please talk about what technologies you're assuming are involved that create this overhead.

Maybe you should ask people who live there instead of thinking a wikipedia article is going to give you any insight.

I think blanket statements aren't going to work in a diverse field such as software development. Certain jobs require strict skills and those skills need to be measured by all potential employees.

On my team we aren't doing anything particularly crazy beyond a large crud application. We feel confident enough in our development process that we can hire interns and make them productive. We are more interested in knowing they want to learn and are able to learn our application. Culture fitnisnlore important to us.

As a result, having a conversation with the applicants is much more valuable than a coding challenge. It works for us.
> How could such a thing catch on?

The way C++11 catches on: implementations update to the standard and it creeps into use.

The effect would have to be stronger than the differences in luminous efficacy to work, which is about 10% between 3000K and 4000K. This is a great theory, but you provide no supporting evidence.

Ah, but everybody's data is different, and that's the problem with a prescribed one-size fits all, too-clever mem manager. If you need a complex graph with a million nodes, then any heap walk during a frame is a catastrophe, and your only out is to write a custom mem manager within the confines of c#, or put your game's core data structure in a C++ lib.
This is possible in ruby too, probably in a lot of languages.
