I'm speaking of incentivizing reducing power usage in the general case, not merely tax credits. The current solution is "let's give wealthy people more money to play with" (to questionable benefit to the general welfare). I should be clear I'm not saying I oppose tax credits for reducing usage; I'm just saying that poor people aren't getting the same kinds of benefits for using less power, even though they are using less power than the wealthy folks getting kickbacks.

And, again, I don't have ideal answers. But, I think there's a problem with the government consistently serving wealthy folks, even when those folks are living in much larger houses and consuming far more resources. Should a person with a 4000 sq ft house, consuming 5x the power of a lower income family in an 800 sq ft apartment, really be getting paid off to reduce their consumption?

If we're serious about the problem of climate change, energy independence, etc., we have to start looking at the actual numbers. If five low-income families are consuming the same resources as one wealthy family...what needs to change to bring the 5x family's consumption down? Solar incentives are one of the options; but, again, they serve only the wealthy (and, as far as I know, most solar installations do not replace the entire household usage, and only reduce it by 30-50%). That outsized power consumer is costing everyone more in terms of what it will cost to respond to climate change.

The question is why are the wealthy being rewarded when they're still consuming more than their poorer neighbors (well, probably not actually neighbors...the poor folks are on the other side of town due to zoning laws).

And, on another "class war" theme, the poorest people are the ones being hit hardest and soonest by the effects of climate change. The multiple "100 year record-setting flood" events in Austin destroyed poor southeastern neighborhoods twice in the past five years. Those were the lowest cost neighborhoods, and decisions were made by the Army Corps of Engineers to protect more expensive homes, and ignore the risks to the poorer neighborhoods. Lousiana, Florida, the Carolinas, have all had major weather events in the past several years (not all can be proven to be the result of climate change, but the severity and frequency seems clearly on an upward trend) and the impact has been predominantly borne by the poor.

OK...I went off on a bit of tear there. My point is that I feel a certain discomfort at how readily environmental causes are used to strengthen the position of those who are already wealthy and already relatively safe from environmental destruction, while the folks most likely to be impacted are invisible.

Top Reasons Why Some Things Never Change in Trading
Houses need roofs that last. Why put a new roof on every 15-20 years if you can put one on that lasts the lifetime of the house?

The china presumed missing 200000000 girls killed during the one child policy, seem to be alive and well - they were just hidden from the records IIRC. So china may have more labor than official statistics say. And the one child parents now are wanting grandkids from said one children. Lots of them and fast. China demographics will improve.

They also figured shanghai tower and aircraft carriers and their first commercial airplane hull while being busy with ballpens. Shanghai auto expo also showed a lot of new hybrids, all electric domestic brands and models.

I think they will be fine.
Hrmmm... I just signed a contract a few weeks ago with SunPower solar panels. Over 40K for almost 8kWh of electricity. It's a hefty cost but it's ready now.

It's a nearly flush mount so I'm ok with it and it's still a traditional look in the front where it's concrete tile that would last longer than I will live.

Lastly though, I wonder how they deal with valleys and different roof pitches. It would look a little odd unless it is non functional.
We got around this by writing our own GC management:
https://deeplearning4j.org/workspaces

We write our own GPU algorithms, Java native interface transpiler (eg: we generate JNI bindings) as well as our own memory management.

We've found the JVM to be more than suitable. Granted - we wrote our own tooling and had reasons we can't move (those customers are a neat thing most people don't think about :D)

I understand why you guys did go though. Congrats on pushing the limits of the runtime.
Chinese leaders are very aware of the pollution problems and are working hard at dealing with it. One thing most outsiders fail to understand is that Chinese leadership love their country and their people and want things to improve. That's not to say they don't do bad stuff at times. But it's false to say that the environmental concerns are being completely ignored in order to make progress.
"Likely" indicates a >50% chance. There are actual meetings planned, this week. This is not "fake news", or some "internet rumor". The actual plan is seriously considered, and only the risks of Li-Ion batteries in cargo holds is holding it up, and possibly pushback from the airlines and countries concerned.

This is valuable information because it's much easier to stop something like this before it's officially announced.

At that time it's already implemented, requires the same march through the bureaucracy to be repealed, has consequences for the administration's reputation, may invite lawsuits if airlines and airports have started spending money etc etc.

Is there an API (even in beta)?

I was going to use Trello for something but I would be happy to give this a shot instead, I did want something more customizable and this seems to be fit that bill (I signed up and everything).

The GM of the big box that I worked at 25 years ago said that the zip code thing was to measure the "destinationness" of the store.

Mostly, the use of a standard interface like firewire (IEEE 1394) seems to hint at economical choices being made somewhere in the supply chain, in that it probably allowed lockheed to source off-the-shelf parts, when wiring up the planes and loading software packages.

They didn't spend extra to develop or patent custom avionics superior to civilian technologies, or even try to lock secret intellectual property into the designs, to create a barrier around the fly-by-wire systems. This is a rare event when it comes to corporations interacting with government programs. Especially when fielding niche high technology line items with decades-long lifecycles.

Whether it was stipulated as part of the government program or one of lockheed's design decisions, there's a sense that the economical option provides breathing room for false compartments, without reducing superficial complexity.
It wasn't that prescient; public-location commercial facial recognition system had been deployed for several years, and companies were, IIRC, already actively promoting customer tracking and advertising applications at the time.
You can use their calculator to edit any of the assumptions, and the math is fairly transparent.

The question of installation is a straightforward challenge that's easily testable, presumably they have a solution that works or they wouldn't announce yet. It's pretty obvious to see if it's going to work or not: just send a team out to put on a test roof and see how much work it is.

I used to run an online service predicting college admissions. As I would update the algorithms to incorporate new results, users' predictions would change. At first, I thought people would be pleased. Soon, I discovered that people really don't like the idea of their prediction changing when they have done nothing to cause it to change. Subsequently, I would lock in the values that had been "seen" by the user, and allow them to update their prediction, if they wanted to, when new models came online. This eased a lot of the users' expressed frustration.
TypeMock Isolator[0] and JustMock[1] can mock nonvirtual methods and static methods. Fody Ionad[2] is a free tool that can replace static methods. The reason that most mocking framework don't support this is that the implementation is complex[3].

Why do you believe that, out of curiosity?

The reason I think it isn't straightforward to account for is based on several things: it isn't fungible, the purchase date can have little or no relationship to the price, and the means of purchase typically carry other time-based constraints that are also not necessarily related to price (although they can be). Furthermore, the liquidity in a given market may change fairly quickly and without any (apparent) other reason.

I haven't tried to develop a model for this, so this is just sort of a gut feel for how difficult feature engineering to account for how a market behaves in this respect might be. And that "gut feel" is mainly informed by my experience purchasing and selling property (for personal and rental use).
I hadn't been to the Venice boardwalk in quite some time, and I didn't even know that Snap had opened up a Spectacles store there, but when I went last month I was surprised to see that on a beautiful Saturday afternoon the only store in the entire mile plus long stretch that was completely empty aside from employees was the Spectacles store.

It was actually kind of disconcerting. For anyone not familiar with the Venice boardwalk, it is jam packed with stores selling overpriced food/drinks and kitschy tourist stuff. Most of the stores are small, packed with merchandise, and overflowing with people. The Spectacles store is probably one of the larger ones square footage wise, and has very prominent frontage. I've been in the area a few times over the last month and it has always been either completely empty, or almost completely empty.
Is it possible to get a link to that episode?
Global warming is causing the destruction of whole ecosystems, any of which might lead to a chain-reaction that undoes biological infrastructure that entire species rely upon, including humans. Many species have already been ended, so I'm not sure why you believe it's not a species-ending problem. Mass migration also means the movement of predators into territories with unadapted prey, which can also result in extinction. (The Dodo went extinct due to habitat destruction and the introduction of predatory mammals, for example.) Almost every extinction in the history of Earth has been a result of global climate changes.

I don't understand why you're being so myopic? The worst case isn't a few people having to buy new homes, it's mass extinction and war. Which may as well be total nuclear war, as far as you or I can predict.
That only works if enough people want expensive, low performance, average-looking, electric family sedans.

It was a while ago, if I recall correctly the block seemed to be ip based (it reported my ip not domain-name). I host with vpsdime, while it is a vps and thus to be expected I don't seem to be on any other lists.

DMARC, PTR, no open-relay, encryption, etc., all set up on my end. The email I was trying to reach was in fact an (important to me) gov't adress. Ended up using my old gmail for that instead.
Good call. I agree that's a more apt comparison. That said, it's still really locked down, it's just there's a key on the wall next to the door with a sign saying "beware of the gremlins".
Isn't the selling point aesthetics? It's very clearly not for everybody, not yet, anyways.

In Colorado it's against the laws for HOAs to ban solar systems, there are some tricks though because they can require certain roofs that you can't really put solar on. Certain tiles and 'presidential' grade roofing which typically cost more than normal shingles as it is. If you live in one of those types of places and want an energy system, then this is what you want. Honestly, I've not heard a lot of complaints about the aesthetics of a conventional solar system, in fact I think some people like it because it's really obvious looking; but if you have the funds and really value the look, then there is an option for you.

It's probably not that different from the market for a Model S vs a Honda Accord. The S is 3+x the cost of the Accord, has fewer fueling stations, can't be serviced nearly as easily, probably is less 'practical' in a handful of other ways but there are still people that buy and drive Model S Tesla cars.
I'm 40 and it keeps saying I"m a 28y/o
OK I just put my address into the calculator and I think the thing's bogus. Without asking anything about my house size or my solar exposure, based solely on my address, it gives me a hard figure ($53,100) for the roof cost and a 30-year energy income of $76,100.

I call bullshit. First, I do not believe they actually know the size of my house or the orientation of the (numerous) roof pitches to the sun. Spoiler: it's only 1300 sq feet and the longest roof ridge is oriented NW-SE, far from optimal for exposure.

Then there are the three very large oak trees that shadow it from three sides.

Then there is the fact that my utility is a local one, not PG&E, and I doubt they took the different rate structure into account. And if they did, how the F do they know what Palo Alto utilities will charging in 10, 20 or 30 years?

They don't know. The whole calculator is a bogus fantasy toy.

i can't see how the latter would ever come about or be effective.

Ok, comments on fig. 2.

The 95% confidence intervals are plotted, but clearly the distribution of their subjects seems to sample heavily near where they find their peak (~25 to 40 ish), and correspondingly, the drop offs are away from that area...

Seems fishy to me.
I've come across many projects that are easy to get started with, but the main stuff to look for is in the details. Although MySQL might be easy to get into, for example, it takes time to learn the intricacies for query optimizations, and importantly, what to do when SHTF, like when a table gets corrupted.

My question is, in your opinion, what does it take to become proficient in CockroachDB sufficiently enough to be comfortable using it in a high volume, high-uptime-required environment?

Thanks.
This looks really cool. Great job.

One tiny bit of UX feedback... on the pricing page the slider and what the slider changes are too far apart. It took me a while of sliding to figure out it was changing the user count. At first glance it looked like it was changing price (and why would I want to slide price up!)

Also, I'm confused why that one guy is standing off to the right in the homepage graphic. Is that supposed to be me (the manager) just sitting there drinking coffee while the team does real work? :-P

You know... you're right. You can't rationally argue someone out of a feeling. But (to me) that feeling should at least (to the best extent possible) be based on rational fact.

I am the author of DCompute, a compiler/library/runtime framework for abstracting OpenCL/CUDA for D. You can write kernels already, although the API automation is still a work in progress.
I'm hoping that this should level the field a bit, because let's face it, people use CUDA for two reasons: the OpenCL driver API sucks; and the utility libraries (cuDNN et al) for CUDA. Possibly driver quality as well.

By having an API thats not horrible to use, that advantage is gone. The utility libraries will be more of a challenge to undermine, but since it targets CUDA natively there is no disadvantage to users of nvidia's hardware, but there is no advantage to others, yet (see GLAS[1] for what is possible with relative ease). Using D as the kernel language will also bring significant advantages over C/C++, static reflection, sane templates and compile time code generation to name a few.

You can find it at https://github.com/libmir/dcompute.

I tried the demo. A little sad, that it sees me as 12 years older than I am, and that I apparently always look angry and disgusted!

(And try not to be too sad about looking like a grumpy old man)

I can still change my mind with a strong belief, strongly held, it's just much more difficult.

For example, one strongly held strong belief that I have is that the speed of light is the maximum speed of matter. So when CERN publishes a report that they discovered superluminal particles, I don't instantly switch beliefs - that would be weakly held. Instead I stand my ground and wait to see if it's reproducible, etc.

Was the model aware of it's own error rate? For instance, could you say that this home is worth $500-650 thousand dollars?

Obviously, this is harder to convey to a homebuyer and for various reasons "hard" numbers are prefered, not least because they cause the illusion that you know what you are talking about.
They should be more transparent about their algo though. That would then allow users to actually know how they came to the conclusion that they did. Hopefully this lawsuit will reveal that algo.

Have you ever programmed with dynamic binding in Emacs Lisp or are you talking out of your ass? Because it's sort of obvious to me that the latter is the case here.

For 99.999% of cases in Emacs, there is no difference between dynamic and lexical binding regarding how code reads & feels.

Not to mention that Elisp was not dynamic-scoping-only (sic) until version 24.1, there exist lexical-let & friends.

Not to mention that guile-emacs is basically a hack at this point in time that very few ppl actually care about, the vast majority of Emacs users being very happy with Emacs Lisp.

Not to mention that even if guile-emacs becomes viable and more popular, it'll still be running Emacs Lisp on top of the Guile VM.

For someone that can't even get his facts straight you sure have a lot of strong opinions.

You are looking at a very small fraction of the problem. Yes higher water is not an extinction level event.

But with increased CO2 there's also increasing acidification. So the plankton dies, coral dies, mollusks die (their shells erode). The food web at sea dies.... as does the food for a decent fraction of the planet. Acid rain causes more damage, food production becomes tougher... especially on the decreasing number of acres above flood level. Much of the most productive farm land in the world would be inundated with acidic salty water.
So? The labor was cheap. And the rules were, shall we say flexible. The US was number one. The rules came, the cost went up and it moved.

Look at my other post. One of the startups I worked at moved out of China because of the cost got to high.

Its a cycle. As they become more open, more western and more regulated it will change again.
The signup experience was great! I liked the walkthrough. I'd recommend focusing a bit more on front-end performance though. Dragging cards, for example, was a quite sluggish. Especially compared to Trello. Since that's the thing that we do the most on a storyboard, it makes me want to use your product a bit less. You're also pushing >3MB of JS to the client. Consider trimming that down a bit.
