I suspect their head of state will die in a plane crash within a year. Either that or there will be a military coupe. Double your bets if any of those shut down were American mining companies.

And before you start saying I should take off my tin foil hat, look up the 1973 coupe in Chile, the Iranian Contras, United Fruit and the documentary Confessions of an Economic Hitman.

I hope El Salvador keeps mining banned. I really do. But the track record is that NATO countries tend to "fix" things when their interests are threatened.

For me it is a mix of zillions of libraries with broken package management (npm + gulp).

Compare to maven in java. Yes, you need to write XML, but it is not that hard, you mostly add <dependency>.
And then it just works.

And with npm, I get - this doesn't work with that version of npm (which BTW has a funny versioning that is almost exponential, there are 0.x and x.x versions), but it doesn't say that the version is wrong, it just does not work and you are to figure out why.

More over, npm package locations, you can have three places, in project directory, in home directory and system wide. And to make matters worse you switch between those by using a command line switch. And it breaks, because once you downloaded a package into home dir (accident) and then your packages in current dir don't work, just because - build breaks and you are out of luck. I don't even count how many times I had to remove all npm directories to get rid of some package that was downloaded.

With maven you have simple system, that is constraint and because of that you have much fewer places where it will shoot you in the foot.

With npm (+gulp) you get wild west of package management, just like it was with ant days of java.

And don't get me started on the AngularJS - I thought that I won't see anything that complicated since the days of EJB < 3.

The opposition does not oppose climate because they are anti-environment. In their minds, as I understand, climate change is a _pretext_ for more government control, taxes, and intrusion, and those are indeed reasons that make the people dig in their heels.

I get what you're saying and that's one of the reasons the code should be deeply analyzed when you're learning, many times you'll find the answer to why that particular approach was selected. Very often authors point out why other approaches aren't suitable for that speciic purpose, many times theorically or by using abstract concepts.

This interesting theoretical tangent raises a good question about the way we measure information.

A laptop only computes being-a-laptop. What makes it useful is that we have assigned meaning to the physical output. That is, there is a homomorphism mapping the atoms on a computer to a logical program.

So any physical system is only computationally useful to the extent that we can define homomorphisms from its physical state to a logical system of interest.

The OP is about the physical limitations of the information stored in the underlying system as measured by entropy. I wonder if entropy is the operating definition here because it implicitly defines what logical system we use to identify the physical system.

Rails allow the sleds to not require batteries. This is especially important if you're moving things at inefficiently high speeds.
I honestly feel bad for you people. Your inner world must be so miserable and barren. I get high just thinking about things several times a day, without any drugs whatsoever. There's no fucking way I'd ever risk that for same lame visuals and a poor man's ego death. You're basically a farm animal telling an Olympian he should try the corn feed.
can you elaborate? Devices transmit PROBE frames containing the SSID's that the device "remembers."
Is what you're describing essentially a trust anchor / root of trust, as implemented in TPMs? I realize that TPMs aren't implemented exactly as you describe, but they are designed to be vulnerable only to physical attack, not software attack.

I ignored the (negative) hype and looked into TPMs recently, and I encourage others to do the same.[0] They look like excellent solutions with the important exception that two of the three key hierarchies, the platform hierarchy and endorsement hierarchy, appear to be fundamentally in the vendor's and not in my control (the latter hierarchy can be disabled, as I understand it, but its functionality is then lost). It's surprising that enterprise IT would tolerate that - I'm not sure I will - but perhaps they can have the manufacturer deploy the corporation's keys in the roots of those hierarchies.

Also, the TPM's security as a trust anchor depends on its implementation. They look good in theory, but I have no idea if the various vendors actually implement them effectively.

[0] By far the best source I found is A Practical Guide to TPM 2.0 - Using the Trusted Platform Module in the New Age of Security by Arthur, Challener. It's also recommended by the Trusted Computing Group, the authors of TPM.
It is also quite possible and affordable to produce 80% taking the 30% capacity factor into account. Germany is already at 30% of all electricity being produced by renewables. The capacity factor only tells you how many you need to build.

That a nuclear power plant runs 24/7 causes also a lot of problems, because energy consumption heavily changes over the course of a day, especially at night there is little demand, and you cannot throttle a nuclear power plant quickly enough. That is why Belgium built illumination systems for all their highways, just to get rid of surplus nuclear power at night.

I doubt the 95% capacity factor for nuclear plants - perhaps for freshly built stations. Nuclear appears to be very reliable, but there are actually quite a lot of issues. One is, that for technical reasons, a nuclear power plant might have to be shut down entirely with no forewarning. This happens quite regular and has to be compensated for by the grid. Currently 50% of the German power plants are down for maintenance, and about 25% of the French, which caused electricity shortages in France last winter. And nuclear plants even are sensitive to the weather, because in hot summers or dry winters there might not be enough cooling water in the rivers that support their cooling needs.

> I liken the use of chilli in cuisine to gratuitous violence in movies : a lazy fix for bland meals that otherwise wouldn't stand on their own feet. A smokescreen of burnt tastebuds to hide behind. A pain that I'm aware (but can't understand why) many people enjoy inflicting unto themselves.

Tyler Cowen is my go-to explainer for spicy food:

Mexicans acculturate their small children to spicy food gradually, by mixing increasing amounts of chilies into the meal. It takes a while before the kids enjoy it and at first they don't like it. If this has never been done to you, you need to make the leap yourself, usually later in life. The whole point of spicy food is that at first it is painful, causing the release of endorphins to the brain. With time the pain goes away and you still get the endorphins, although you may seek out an increasingly strong dose to boost the endorphin response.

Not all Americans think this is a good deal. Older people are less likely to make this initial investment and endure the initial pain. The same is true for uneducated people (adjusting for ethnicity), who both are less likely to know it will end up being a source of pleasure and who on average have higher discount rates. What other predictions can be made? If you and your country are too obsessed with dairy you will be led away from spicy food, one way or the other. Milk usually counteracts the pleasing effects of chilies.

Yarn might solve a bunch of those problems. And at least here on HN there seems to be consensus (or at least a very large group) that considers AngularJS a particularly bad idea.

> fixing the H1-B visa issue fewer H1-B immigrants will be working in the US and more Americans will be doing the work

That's if you assume this work can only be performed in the US. For the difference in costs I'm guessing the companies will find a way to offshore it.

> Many US firms have tried to offshore computer programming and in many cases found that it does not work. Penny wise, pound foolish.

That's anecdotal. Majority of the firms that did outsource work quite well. IBMs largest staff contingent is in India. It's not just programming, analytics, tech consulting, pre-sales, some marketing, architectural work, etc.
You're getting the idea. The difference is that what I described leaned more toward replaceable, open hardware and user control of process than TPM. The TPM scheme was designed fairly well for industry project but is meant to include lowest cost, DRM, and software stack.

Have you had much in the way of East/South Asian foods or Latin American foods?

Speaking for the various Chinese culinary traditions because that's what I grew up with, the spiciness is usually integral to the overall flavor and mouthfeel of the dish. Szechuan food (traditionally spicy) without spice tastes off balance, as does Cantonese food (traditionally mild) with extra spiciness.

My experience with French food has been that it generally avoids significant spiciness, which is fine, but it also means that the recipes are not crafted with spiciness in mind. Szechuan recipes are definitely crafted with spiciness in mind.

I've done the same and it's amazing (and depressing) to notice how different my experience is between 'no js/ads by default' on my laptop (uMatrix + uBlock), and 'regular' on my iPad/iPhone.

Even worse, the difference seems to be getting worse and worse. It's a pretty regular experience for me these days to end up on a website that barely works on iOS: ridiculously slow, stuttering scroll behavior, inability to scroll because there's an ad in the way, inability to close popups, fixed position elements taking at least a third of the screen, and so on. You know the drill.

There's one website that, if I don't use the 'add to instapaper' button within the first few seconds of loading, completely blocks safari.

Now I can understand how a website becomes bloated and shitty while still being somewhat usable; users either might put up with it, or it might be difficult to measure the negative impact of these 'thousand cuts'.

But it baffles me how websites can exist that don't work at all on mobile/iOS when it's relatively easy to fix (enough to make it shitty usable). Does nobody look at bounce rates?
