Commercial and Residential solar are excluded. Those might add up to half a percent or so. The other 9.5% is probably due to energy efficiency.
That's true. But the effects of leverage and as they say in Dutch 'the devil shitting on the larger heap' (meaning: that once you have money it becomes a lot easier to make more of it) should not be underestimated.
It's because it was issued by StartCom.

"except in the case of at least Trump, there is at least a mandate of government granted by the people that voted for him."

More people voted for Not Trump than voted for Trump.
First time I've seen this submission get upvotes (although "past" shows it happens regularly... I must have missed many times).

It returns constantly, never submitted by the same person, so I assume it is a simple user mistake when drawing the bookmarklet to the favorites.

I guess this URL should simply be blacklisted.
Another more clever way is to deliver shares from their own pool.
But your username says otherwise ;)

More seriously - Why so?

I think that:

1. It's on topic.

2. It's a project not a product. I ain't sellin anything.

3. There is no thunder to steal. Usually, more comments, more votes, more rain for the show.

4. Shameless has to be shameless.

5. It adds to the discussion. See, it just did...
So what you meant to say was "Kobble is the only app available where we don't own any of your data."
This comment is so wrong I don't even know where to begin.
Yev from Backblaze here -> The .zip option is the fastest way for folks to get their data back quickly - it's downloaded over HTTPS and we have a Downloader (which can restart interrupted downloads [browsers can only do so much] if they are larger). Folks with A LOT of data to restore usually opt for a USB Flash Key or a USB Hard Drive restore - which is sent, encrypted, via FedEx. Usually that one is used for complete system failures or recoveries.
Lots of people are trying to apply that cleverness to fission. The problem is that governments make life much harder for fission projects than for fusion projects. There's some justification for that; fission done well is great, but fission done badly can cause much more serious accidents than fusion done badly, and proliferation is much less of a concern with fusion.

Even so, the regulation is more of a problem than it needs to be. The NRC currently requires a near-complete design up front, costing several hundred million dollars, before they even hint at whether they'll approve your project. If they turn you down, you're done. If they approve, you've still just got paper; it's only then that you get to start experiments with nuclear material. If they just had a more incremental process it'd be a big help.

Meanwhile, people build deuterium fusion reactors in their basements and nobody bats an eye.
A bit like my neighbor's door is wide open. Some teenagers are taking over it.

Instead of just close/lock the door for my neighbor or call the cop, I use a bulldozer to level the house to the ground. (zero out the flash.)

In theory, the "vigilante" can offer his service to device manufacturer to help remotely clean/update the devices instead of just simply wiping them off the net.
Too geography dependent, and we will probably never build another large hydro project because of the environmental impacts.
The current exemption is more than $5 million. People saying that are full of shit.

Sure, someone inheriting a $6 million plot of land will owe taxes on $600,000 of income. I wonder if they could secure a loan somehow?
Because you can't easily run them through a spam filter (without unlocking the PGP key for the spam filter or having the passphrase in plain text somewhere).

Spam is such a huge problem that most spam filters have gotten terribly over aggressive. Even with proper SPF and DKIM records, Google/Microsoft will ignore/silently drop most mail coming from small personally run e-mail servers:

Agreed, this is quite baffling. The only answer I can think of is that India hasn't been prioritizing education in rural communities. Population is not a valid excuse: do people still shit where they drink in China?

I'm more understanding when it comes to the lack of basic sanitation facilities, but lack of education is inexcusable in this day and age!

Oh dear. Is that the new benchmark for "old" now? Are there people here who don't remember that??
Spam sucks, but don't waste your time reporting it to federal agencies. In practice, 'unsolicited' isn't a high enough bar for them to care - it has to be overtly fraudulent, malicious, etc. in order to have a shot at getting attention.
LLCs are passthrough entities so you pay what your personal rate. You still pay self employment tax however this might spur some to change their structure to benefit from new tax proposal

Edit: there is also a proposal to change how partnerships and pass through entities are to be taxed.
JSONSchema has a concept of "$refs", which is a way to encode a pointer to a value in a JSONSchema. $refs can point to another node in the same graph, a node in another JSONSchema on the same filesystem, or a node in another JSONSchema fetched over the network.

$refs are used in JSONSchema, but are described in the separate JSONPointer spec [0].

See unit tests for examples:

- In-file $ref: https://github.com/bcherny/json-schema-to-typescript/blob/ma...

- Local $ref: https://github.com/bcherny/json-schema-to-typescript/blob/ma...

- Remote $ref: https://github.com/bcherny/json-schema-to-typescript/blob/ma...

- Cyclical $ref: https://github.com/bcherny/json-schema-to-typescript/blob/ma...

Hope that helps!

I agree, it's not as risky as it might be. But there's still something unsettling about lending money to people to gamble with.
How are we going to pay for the great wall of Mexico again? No, I don't believe Mexico will pay for it...with cash I mean.
Exactly right. Coal mining as a job has declined much more than coal as fuel. It's just easier to blame regulations and outsourcing than to admit that people can't compete with machines in energy production and manufacturing.
Not the OP, but usually hydro is excluded because it's "old renewable" and most potential sources have already been developed.
If the sensor is stable over the period when the frames are shot, why would subtracting the mean of the black frames from the mean of the exposures be worse than subtracting individual black frames from individual exposures? Aside from rounding errors and possible overflows the two procedures should be equivalent:

(e1 + e2 + ... en) / n - (b1 + b2 + ... bn) / n = (e1 - b1 + e2 - b2 + ... en - bn) / n
I seriously have had the most fun skiing Sundown at night with a dozen friends. We all were pretty experienced skiers and we went down the toughest hills in the NE together and we don't dare wipe out. Go to Sundown and it was always comical. You could be on a green "Deer Run" and wipe out skiing backwards because you hit an ice patch.
As far as I know we don't intend to release anything. But if you have a similar timeline ordering problem, the post should contain enough detail for you to apply the ideas.
I have long preferred this suggestion. I know it is a bit creepy, but ultimately given the parameters, there is one optimal result. You know things are frustrating when you prefer the machine to your representatives.
I'd say start with Bootstrap and learn Sass. Out of the box all Bootstrap sites/apps look the same but you can achieve some great results by customising the appearance with Sass and coding up some of your own components.

An interesting phenomena I heard is Cunningham's law. It states, "the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question, it's to post the wrong answer."

It probably is stated because people are very quick to correct other people when they are wrong, I guess.
Well, you said wind and solar are more expensive than coal and I am saying they are not (hence why they are being built out like crazy). You seem to be arguing that wind and solar cannot replace coal since there are intermittent. I think that is wrong.

Ask HN: Studying medicine, would like to move out of the field
I am currently a fifth year medical student in Europe, working part time at a lab on cell morphology, teaching biology to high school students and freelancing doing data science in my spare time. My study record so far is great and my supervisors and I have published two papers. Doing research is enjoyable and my current supervisor is willing to strongly recommend me as a candidate for a PhD position. Of course, he would also like me to stay at the current lab.

Lately I have been thinking about alternatives to residency or a PhD program. Even though I could be a doctor, I find research and problem solving more satisfying. Yet a PhD as well as a career in academia does not seem to be financially sustainable in the long-run. Even worse, in my country research‘s just outright bureaucratic.

Since discovering and creating new things motivates me, I have been considering that a startup could be possible. I see multiple problems in medicine that I feel could be solved and I guess that could be a start? Also, working with R is satisfying and I have been considering about becoming a data scientist.

My question is: what other options could I explore after my master‘s? Has anyone else shifted out of medicine after finishing medschool? What did you do?

Thanks!

Solar power is currently following Moore's law.

Prices are cutting in half every 2 years.

There is not a whole lot more price cuts that need to happen before Solar is at grid parity, and cheaper than coal.

In places like Hawaii it is already way way cheaper than any other available power solution.
IANAL, and I can't find a definitive statement of where the doctrine applies, but I see it referenced in cases in many US southern states (AL, GA, AR, KY, FL, TX). I know that the particulars vary in many states, based on precedent and statute, but I'm not aware of anywhere it's absent entirely. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will come along and clarify.

"Wind and solar and batteries are awesome, but even in very optimistic case scenarios we need an alternative to coal and the temporary surge of natgas to handle baseload between here and ~2040. It should be nuclear, but, sigh. "

Wind and solar's bigger problem isn't really the intermittency of availability of electricity, it's the distribution of availability. It needs a more sophisticated grid. America's grid operators (who also own generators) would be shooting themselves in the foot by upgrading the grid since renewables eat into their bottom line (they want to sell natgas/coal/nuclear electricity, not buy solar from your rooftop or set up windfarms that makes a razor thin profit...).

Utility operator lobbyists thus have a marked tendency to overstate the problem of renewable intermittency.

Nuclear is cost competitive with solar and wind but it's only cost competitive if the liability is capped. Remove the liability cap and mandate that nuclear insurance cover the cost of a Fukushima style cleanup and there's no point in ever building a plant ever again. Whereas if you remove all the tariffs (e.g. things like the 40% solar import taxes) and subsidies, renewable prices probably wouldn't change all that much.
Day trading is hazardous to your health and your wealth and more-so with the increase in HFTs. But the buy and hold for long-term strategy works very well. Use limit orders and you won't be paying any "hidden" costs.

For example, Lets say you put in a Market Order for 1 share of GOOG. Currently the price per share is about $900. It could fill immediately at $900, or it could fill immediately at $930 with that $30 premium. If instead, you place a Limit Order for 1 share of GOOG for $900.02, you will only buy 1 share of GOOG for $900.02 or less which effectively cuts out any "hidden" costs. Limit orders are almost always better.

Fun fact: All Robinhood market orders are actually placed as limit orders 5% above the market price. This is to limit investor risk.
And thank you for being open to trying it! You'll be helping make HN the better for it.
font enumeration is done by basically trying to use a certain font and then measuring the div it's writing to. Also can be done a bit fancier drawing to a canvas element and then taking a fingerprint of it (but presumably slower?).

It can be spoofed from a browser extension by messing with the results from the measurement or hooking into core APIs.

Plus you need a font list to begin with, you can't just look at the fonts the system has installed just from javascript.
A very nice write up ruined by very partisan ramblings in the end. There is nothing wrong in believing in liberal cause, but to consider the other side as devil incarnate is a bit disturbing.

It's useful to know that all car headrests double as glassbreakers. Pop the headrest off it's hinges and push the two metal prongs at the end against a window to break the glass.
Haha. Same pinch.

I tried couple of times, then gave up. Some 3-4 years ago was the last time I explored getting an invite, it was around the same time I kind of quit this hobby of being a shutterbug. Of course the two arent't related. I figured I haven't got what it takes. Besides I just hated spending time on taking photos and I would often forget to take photos of good views, scenes, or moments and by the time I would ready the camera it would be too late. No regrets though. Also, I suffered from "what DSLR is best at price X" condition for a long time.

But still every time I land on a Flickr page (esp. after it was Yahoo'ed) I can't help thinking whether there is any Flickr replacement that is not bloated and then only name comes to my mind was of Ffffound (I always used to get the F count wrong).

How does the link show that they were borrowing on unfavorable terms? Crunchbase doesn't show the terms of the funding round, and when I followed the link for the July 2016 round, it shows that they got a loan at 5%, which is ridiculously good in tech:

I wouldn't trust a device such as the Echo Dot to be reliable enough (or any IoT device for that matter). It was never build for that purpose.
IMO, the next stop is going to be a drop in price. Good enough and 2k generally beats awesome and 200k.
Well, it's really all quantum wavefunctions.
I cringe at the thought of the "modern household" with Dash buttons scattered around the house, Alexas/Echoes in a few rooms, a "Look Assistant" on every dresser, and a slew of other IoT gimmicks fastened on walls and countertops, around every ankle and wrist.

It's straight up tech addiction.

None of it is even impressive. The technology isn't there. And when the technology does get there, I'd rather have it all available from a single device I carry in my pocket, not across a bunch of gadgets that nickel and dime away my attention.
Sea-levels were not the same 50kya as they were today; they were about 120m or so lower. At that level, a lot of the seas in Southeast Asia and Australia just simply cease to exist, and so the ultimate water gaps are only a few km wide--very likely, you could see the other shore at times. Of course, at the same time, the Bering Strait didn't exist for similar reasons.

By comparison, Madagascar, which is ~400km from Africa, was never settled by African tribes (they were settled from Austronesians from Indonesia). Malta, about 80km from the closest land in Italy, was apparently settled only around 7kya.
In order to cover base load solar + utility scale battery deployments need to be cheaper than a coal plant in terms of TCO.

You're not wrong, and of course things like a carbon tax could change the economics substantially, but base load generation is not going to be solved by cheaper panels alone.
A long my time ago, a steel company installed toilets in Orissa (I hope I'm recalling the conversation exactly). They've just fallen into disrepair.

> Reshaping society so this stuff doesn't happen is great, but on an inside-view level we treat crime as sort of an inevitable "someone will do it" force.

I don't disagree with you, however I think there are some levels to this concept, e.g. how two different locations would differ if it was: a lost wallet, a somewhat clear opportunity for embezzlement, a bike stopped in front of a coffee shop?
This is a purely political story, though it might look like an important policy or news story. It isn't.

Every administration proposes a tax plan. But, of course, tax policy is set by Congress. The President is (usually) the ostensible leader of the party, and this President's party controls both houses of Congress, but by both rule and statute they'll need a filibuster-proof majority to pass most of these policies --- and, because the "popular" parts of this proposal will balloon the deficit, they probably won't get unanimous support from their own party.

This is all academic anyways. It seems somewhat traditional for the administration to propose a fairytale tax plan, and traditional for that proposal not to have much impact on policy.

According to TFA they also make money off of rebates, which are proportional to the number of shares traded.
The proposal seems to state that pass-through entities will be subject to the 15% tax rate as well. From what I've read so far that would seem to mean that all business income from one's LLC would be taxed at 15%, and there wouldn't be any personal income tax to pay on top of that.
