The term Baseload power is not a goal, it's a Problem with some types of power not being flexible. In that context, soar is closer to Baseload power than peaking power plants. Yes, it currently better matches demand than Baseload power, but as you ramp it up the supply / demand miss mach will simply shift around the day.

Turning on some peaking power plants at night vs the day is not a significant issue. Further, the solution is excess capacity not long term storage.
I've thought about doing that. However, it doesn't really seem to play well with React's architecture. For instance, React does not have any built in support for computed properties. Therefore, if I am returning data from the central store through a function on a component that calls a getter from the store, the component will not update if the central state changes during the component's life cycle. Of course I could write a polling function or some sort of watcher method that binds the computed properties to component state, but that sounds like a mess. At a certain point after trying to get React to act more like like Vue, I have to ask myself why I'm not just using Vue in the first place.

Regarding you statement about abstraction layers, separation of concerns, and re-usability:

If I want a generic and re-usable component I just won't give it any data state. It may have local presentation state, but all data will be passed to it from a parent. Any operations the component allows will simply emit events. Both Vue and React are equally suitable for this and I have no complaints about either for generic components.

I'm not sure how being able to read central state in any component violates separation of concerns, however. The store is still handing all mutations to application state in Redux or Vuex. The difference with Vuex is that You do not need to have a chain of callbacks for dispatching actions, you do not need "connected containers", and you do not need to pass state through components in a tree that do not require that state. For instance, say I have a user profile page. This page displays user information received from a REST detail endpoint. Simple enough, right? I just have a `UserProfileContainer` where I define functions for fetching the user object from the API and then getters for retrieving that state. Now, I decide that I want to display a user's recent activities in a feed on the same page. Do I add to my `UserProfileContainer` to pass state down to the new feed component and it's children, or do I define the feed component as a new container? Or, do I define an intermediary `UserProfileLayout` component that is not a container and handles delegating state passed to it from the `UserProfileContainer`? If I do that I am passing application state through a component that has no use for it and I have to define an addional callback to propagate the event back to `UserProfileContainer`. Or maybe I should use `UserProfileContainer` itself to delegate state to the `UserInfo` and `UserFeed` components? How you compose this theoretical interface is probably defined by the structure of the rest of the application. I'm simply stating the Redux becomes more and more difficult to work with as the depth of component nesting increases.

Good for him. Ran into him at a startup school event in Boston a long time ago. Super interesting guy.
That other comment was talking about sacrificing uptime for something unknown, while I was talking about total cost/effort in building vs buying.

You can put Cloudfront with SNI in front of GCP and all have it point to the same LB.

That's not how reliability works. Every non-trivial app has hundreds of "moving parts". So what if cloudflare had an issue? There are thousands of security issues every day, it's a fact of life. Better to have a well-funded and talented team who takes care of it.

And no, you don't need ops people to manage a cloud load balancer. What is there to do? And yes, cost is (one of many factors) that matter to business and it's still cheaper and better to put both services together (for the few who need SNI). Why do you keep saying it doesn't work?

It seems you have some irrational hatred for cloud and managed services but I'd much rather invest in and trust them than have you run my infrastructure and waste time building some fragile load balancing system instead.

Indeed you are correct and I think that's great.

Perhaps you misunderstood what marginal cost means. It is the cost of generating one additional unit of power on an already​ existing infrastructure. It takes expense to mine an additional ton of coal, transport it to a power plant, burn it and convert it into electricity even after the underlying infrastructure is setup. It doesn't for solar and wind.

Energy storage is easier than fission or fusion. We've just been working on the other two problems for ten times as long. Grid energy storage became financially viable maybe five years ago and there are already startups in compressed air and sodium-ion batteries (which can be potentially much larger/cheaper than lithium-ion at the cost of being less space-efficient). Nuclear energy has been financially viable forever and it took an existential crisis for the richest nation in the world to devote all of its resources to it for years to make it happen.

I am not saying that Amazon is snooping on its users. All i am saying is that such devices are a prime target for hackers and government agencies.

> Traffic calming doesn't make roads less safe.

It absolutely does when you measure it against the alternatives instead of the status quo.

The only way you can get an apparent benefit from it is through people overcompensating for danger. People are driving 30MPH, you add some danger, people overcompensate for the danger by driving 25MPH, so the result is as though people were driving 28MPH on the original road. You call this a benefit.

The problem is that it's crazy. You're designing an intentional safety reduction and paying the full cost of it just so that people will overcompensate for it.

What you should be doing is designing a safety improvement that people will undercompensate for. Make the road as safe to drive at 35MPH as it was at 30MPH, but don't make that fact obvious, so that people only drive 2MPH faster even though the road is 5MPH safer. Then people drive 32MPH and the safety level is as though they were driving 27MPH on the original road. Compared to traffic calming you have a safer road and people get where they're going 7MPH faster.

While I am on the fence with a lot of what is happening, I would have thought a more appropriate analogy would be to: Break into a poorly secured garage, that has been sold as a single unit to the customer, seal the door and any other access via welding so that no one can ever use the garage ever again.

I don't think it's a matter of trading privacy for convenience, as long as you believe Amazon when they say they're not sending anything when you're not using the wake word.

All evidence points towards this being the case, both my own anecdotal evidence, and the investigations people have done.

You could combine the two:

- Price transparency for common treatment/diagnosis.

- They must charge insured and uninsured the same rate, no more 70% discounts for the insured.

This would, if nothing else, get the insurance company and patient on the same team (since they're both fighting for lower prices across the board, rather than just higher insurance discounts on bonkers pricing).
a lawsuit requires people 'smart' enough to even know they were hacked, and for a recall they need to decide if the cost of a recall is cheaper than legal/settlement fees, ( i learned this from Fight club) lol -- however -- WARRANTY replacements of devices because a hacker breached security and bricked it--this could be a LOT faster way to force them to recall.

Feel consistently SV/VC types are overhyping and misrepresenting what is actually going on with products like this. The "Machine Learning" element of this is basically just speech detection (as is the case with almost all these assistant products) used as the equivalent of a wireless button or switch press.

Even in the video we still see users having to swipe away at screens to do anything beyond the button press. Feel SV/VC types are constantly misrepresenting these button presses as the coming of Iron Mans Jarvis when the reality is they're elaborate light clappers

Stephen Hawking: Ai Might Decimate Middle Class Jobs
I'd put it more simply:

"Users don't care about privacy or security."

I put it in quotes because it's become a kind of catch phrase, and in practice I have found this to be largely correct. We've tried very hard to make our product secure, but users almost never ask about that. We have never been asked about the quality of our crypto by a regular user, and only once by an enterprise user. Users care about UX and cost, in roughly that order, and little else. This is even true of most enterprise users.

This is why security sucks. This is why everything spies on you. It's not a priority for anyone because it doesn't affect user buying behavior. The tiny minority who do care are not only too small to matter but also tend to be the kinds of "hackers" who like to DIY (and pirate) rather than buy things... making them doubly economically insignificant.

In the end the privacy issues around things like this will have to be fixed with legislation. We will need to effectively extend HIPAA regulations to cover all kinds of other personal data: passively recorded audio and video, location tracking data, anything more than the most superficial user logging, etc. Vendors will face a fine of $$$ per incident if this information is leaked, and sale and use of information will be strictly regulated.

As far as government surveillance goes: that horse left the barn over a decade ago, and that also can only be fixed in the legislature. The legislature must regulate intelligence agencies and police. If they don't, no amount of techno-fixing will limit the power of these agencies. They have larger budgets than you.
