The losses will happen somewhere, and the power is coming from the wind farm anyway. Combining grid interconnect with what is already there probably makes the power engineering easier.
Sadly all local events are posted on FB and it is the easiest way to track them.

This is a battery installation, not a factory.
+1

Certainly has to do with the wave of such posts published lately (Susan Fowler & Uber, Coraline Ada Ehmke & GitHub etc.)
Not a factory. This is a battery stored peaking power plant.
That was my thought.

Having the host OS run what's essentially a virtualhost proxy seems like the most elegant, viable-path forward. You'd need a protocol for the guest to announce what site(s) it's planning on hosting, and then bridge those out the the host.

Keeping multiple guests from claiming the same name would be useful.

Better: shift the whole public layer out to a distributed caching service.

Tools such as IPFS offer another possible answer, where the RaPi boxen could be considered simple origin servers.
Redux saga provides a nice syntax I agree but leans on some fairly advanced JS concepts. It's a lot to ask a beginner to digest just to display some data from a REST endpoint.
Not the original poster, but I think he is quite right.

IF you are getting a product or service for free, continuously, the company providing it usually has a different motive, a different way to make money. Usually that means selling your data, thus you are the product being sold in the statement the original poster made.

Can you explain why you consider the statement a banality instead of a rule of thumb? What kind of things do you not pay for where the company providing it is not gaining something from you using it?
Really hot days only need a very short time of power to cover the 4 to 6 PM sort of time before the temps drop.
South Australia is getting a battery, not a battery manufacturing plant. The Gigafactory makes the batteries.
Let me rephrase: if you are not paying for it, you are the product, but you probably don't know it, and even if you did know it, you probably don't care.

If I was to go one step farther, I'd say the entire powerbase of companies like Facebook and Google is founded on a large mass of people not caring about their privacy. Maybe a step too far, but I'm not so sure.
> The collected data about you is enough to interpolate your profile for the next decades.

Did Facebook recently hire Hari Seldon?
> The better alternatives ...

As a privacy nut, I cringed when I tried the Prisma app without reading up on how it works - the image is transmitted to the Prisma servers, where the AI does its job and sends the results back. That was the first and last time! The proliferation of all the server based centralized AI services is a concern for me in different ways.
So what were the causes of the queensland outages with their coal?

It was transmission tower failures that took out the network for the significant outage.
This might be an unpopular opinion in the tech-savvy crowd of HN, but while I agree with pretty much 100% of the points brought up in this article, I still disagree that leaving facebook is a net positive. I simply believe that as privacy violating as facebook is, as scary and orwellian their statistical analysis of my life and habits are, they have solved a very real problem for real people: social networking online.

You can argue that facebook benefits from a lock-in effect and you wouldn't be wrong, but facebook hasn't always had that effect. They must have been doing something right from the start to get that effect.

I remember around 2007-ish when facebook was introduced in my life as a kind of cool club for university kids (I think they had already dropped this idea by then, but I still remember "networks" being a thing), and joining I was struck by how it was everything that my other social networks was not. It felt "professional", it allowed a low-frequency update into people's lives that wasn't matched by IM services like MSN/ICQ/whatever back then, and as it developed it turned into a crucial tool for groups in school, events (a major thing for me as a student), and more.

There will always be people that say they don't "get" facebook, that anything you can do on facebook you can do with other technology. Well, if you're one of those people you're probably also one of those people who thought "meh" when you saw Dropbox the first time because you can easily put together the same thing yourself with an FTP server and version control. Well, the kicker is obvious: normal people who don't read HN can not. Facebook changed lives for people who "can not".

If you fast forward to today and look at how non-profits are run, how political organizations are run, how after school-groups are run, you might have a point saying they could use something else. They could, but not without losing functionality. The payoff is always "a worse solution but you get to keep your privacy". The reality is, almost nobody wants that (unless you're politically active in a repressive regime, but facebook does support Tor, so kudos to them). The basic issues from the past linger: who will host it, who will support it, who will pay for it? Are we going to use an e-mail list, a web based forum, how will we communicate and share content?
Like it or not, ad financed networks solve all these issues and people are more than happy to sell their browsing habits for that. I don't think that's changing anytime soon, because even if the minority ("you and me") may be willing to pay for a substitute to buy out our own privacy, most people won't, and then the whole point falls anyway, because the solutions will obviously not integrate.
Why you are not serving the site in S3 bucket? :] Or does it have some fancy server side functionality?
LinkedIn is perhaps the worst of the bunch though. I see people in "people you may know" that I've already tried to add but LinkedIn will show them to me because I assume they're not the ones spamming if it happens due to me clicking a button. All for a blip in user engagement.
Water-based pokemon like magikarp, slowpoke, dratini, etc. spawn at the edges of rivers far more than they do even 500m - 1km away. I work in an office next to a river and it is definitely true.

I suspect the old rumours of 'porygon is most likely found near libraries, etc.' is myth, but this definitely holds.
I haven't left because I was concerned about the data they were collecting, I left because I realised that I couldn't stop going on facebook, any time my hands were free I would open up my phone and check the feed, scroll through the endless stream of garbage and crap I didn't care about in the slightest. That, and the fact that I was getting really depressed by all the news surrounding brexit, then I would go and read comments and be completely negative about everything, and facebook was just amplifying the negativity tenfold.

I just cut the cord and I am now a lot happier without it, facebook is literally a drug,

They also had an editorial policy of not referring to any action committed by US forces as "torture" until 2014.
I ejected myself from my own business of ten years as my mental health and resultantly my physical health was failing. Stress does really bad things in the long term.

My co-founder was relentless in applying guilt and pressure while I vomited for years for weeks at a time - multiple hospitalisations due to severe dehydration. He denies that mental health is even a thing.

So - it's not just an employee thing - even business owners can be severely impacted by uncaring colleagues.

> Most EVs get ~3.3 mi/kWh.

Not even close. BMW runs electric trucks between production facilities and our 169kWh trucks (Terberg YT202-EV) which haul up to 34,000kg get at most 100km out of that, often less. So you're looking at about 0.6km/kWh or 0.37mi/kWh.
It will be more with less stopping (although there isn't a lot of stopping on our routes) but nowhere near your estimate.
The UI is bad period. 85% navigation on a normal laptop display (1080). There are layers and layers of menus and submenus which could easily be combined and make little sense. And i'm not even someone with a 'design aesthetic'.

The 'review-app' pattern is interesting but doesn't scale for more complicated apps. You'd need to create a 'review cluster' for every branch which quickly becomes untenable. It's usually not lack of automation but cost driving down the number of non-prod environments.

I'm actually a big fan of Gitlab but they should probably focus on user experience and Git hosting and let the other sizable number of products/projects which already exist focus on deployment. Spinnaker, for example, is probably what I'd recommend companies adopt for CD if they're looking to go in that direction.
5 things I had to unlearn before learning how to code
Whenever I need to know any idiom, I like to go to http://idioms.in/ website at the drop of a hat.
Step 1: Study somewhere that is not the US ;-)

Some US based acquaintances recently discussed the college options and choices of their kids.
A year at the cheapest college they discussed cost more than twice (tuition, without a room) as much as my German B.Sc. and M.Sc. combined: that is, 5 years of study (or longer - I decided to study part-time and earn real money in parallel. It costs little extra).
Dejavu! I had this exact same conversation on the last thread about this topic. Different account though.
To reinforce the point, he's talking about the guy literally standing next to him. It's got to be one of my favourite parts of our otherwise desolate, depressing political landscape in the last 5 years.

I'm glad SA is going this alone. The Federal govt is too tied up in politics to produce a functional solution based on hard data. It'd be all talk and no action and by going it alone, SA undercuts that.
I like my Roomba, as the way I like my dishwasher.

Can I personally clean the foors better? Yes. Can I personally clean my dishes better? Yes. Dishwasher sometimes turns things upside down, doesn't clean properly etc.

But the main reason is that it saves me a lot of time, and it's good enough for me. Maybe not for you.
Single mom, 24 would have been better.
Every time I read one of these articles these days, it reminds me of Frankie Boyle's comment:

> American foreign policy is horrendous 'cause not only will America come to your country and kill all your people, but what's worse, I think, is that they'll come back 20 years later and make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers feel sad.
I worked for a PC computer systems supplier in the late 80s and early 1990s. One of our customers designed industrial filters - everything from dialysis stuff to chemical purification meshes for the pharma industry.

They had a range of special 'rare earth metal' mesh filters that would periodically come back for cleaning and refurbishment and as part of the final test, solvents of very specific purity would be used to see how the filters were performing. The rate of filters coming back for refurb was low (a few a month) and there was a small testing room set aside for the purpose.

The problem we were asked to tackle was that because some of the solvents were extremely volatile, corrosive and flammable, no exposed live electrics or 'generic plastics' of any kind were allowed in the room (even though the testing was done in a fume cupboard) - and a PC + CRT was out of the question, so was any form of handheld device. So how to record the test results, which comprised a serial number and a few small fractional numbers?

When we were brought in, we were asked to consider the feasibility of several proposals - from some kind of 'encapsulated' PC and keyboard, to cutting a hole in the wall and having either a working touch screen or 'safe' light pen (in a 'condom'!?) through a glass panel..or 'any other ideas??'

Having carefully considered the volume of work and the small amount of data, we suggested using a pre-printed pad for the results, a pencil, and putting the computer outside the room.
The Cultana proposal was A$500 million for 300 MW, which is more expensive per Watt but not several times. No way they could build it in 100 days though.

I'd say usually better quality rather than definitely better quality. While the Lanczos filter is always superior to the box filter in theory, there are some case in practice where the box filter may be better.

If you're downsampling a line-art image, for example, you may actually be better off with some variation of the box filter. The negative lobes on the Lanczos filter can induce objectionable ringing because line-art tends to be full of what are basically step functions. It's a similar issue as with strong mosquito artifacts on JPEG compressed line-art.

A filter function that is everywhere non-negative, such as the box filter or a Gaussian can't suffer from this problem. Of the two, the box filter will give you sharper results but of course it doesn't antialias as well, either.
And you can even write and read messages on mbasic.facebook.com opposed to m.facebook.com which just re-directs you to the app store in order to install their messenger app.

He doesn't encourage it by no means.
But I have seen him say on one of his "javascript trap" videos (talking like parent telling his teenager if you are going to use sex, use a condom) that if you find you must, then use the mobile site. I can't find the video, but on https://stallman.org/facebook-presence.html under the heading "How you can communicate safely with Facebook" he writes:

"To make the site work without the need to run nonfree Javascript code, visit to m.facebook.com rather than facebook.com itself."

FYI, currently m.facebook.com now uses javascript, however mbasic.facebook.com doesn't, and is basically the same as m.facebook.com was at the time of his writing.
Forget "friends". Sharing with your family/relatives is a different thing though. No wise "quips" required. A picture says a 100 words :)
Slightly ironic that a system which has scalability as one of its goals went down due to traffic. Although I guess few things are prepared for an onslaught of catching attention on sites like HN or Reddit.
I use Facebook as a Google Reader replacement. I don't care what my contacts share. Twitter was my go-to site for this use case (news consumption). But that platform is too polluted now. Feedly was another site I used regularly.

Is there any good news reader alternative to the platforms mentioned?
I appreciate your data! However I wasn't trying to say that trucks will get 3.3 mi/kWh, this was apparently quite confusingly phrased, as I meant passenger vehicles.

My spitball of 1.1 mi/kWh was clearly way too high still.
Such a change may have a huge impact on the internal state of the language server. But on protocol side it's probably minor. You should just one relevant piece of the new state on the next Goto Definition / Auto completion / etc. request. No need to stream the whole new state from the language server to the client on each update.

My current estimation is that the protocol costs are O(1) regarding project size.

That sounds completely opposite to the React functional philosophy and is akin to using global variables in a regular program.

Have fun testing that!
Not getting the checksum wrong, getting the checksum tool wrong. While typing the source of the checksum tool, you don't have the checksum tool yet. Classic bootstrap problem :)
It's bit different if you work with them (or in the same company). Linus has a certain, style, to put it nicely, but in the broader open source community.

The key point is that this is likely the first time these two individuals had communicated - she effectively introduced herself to this person by saying "you are wrong", or "your work is incorrect". This isn't a professional way in a business to talk to someone. Even a simple greeting and explanation to say "I have some experience in this area, and here's some suggestions that would improve it" is infinitely better than the framing she gives:
> I was very disappointed at this 101 mistake
> sadly opened an issue referencing the question
The emotions portrayed there give a good indication to the tone that the writing likely gave - instead of being constructive it could easily be perceived as hostile.

Yes, I think the data scientist over reacted. But I don't think her tone or approach was at all appropriate either.
The price is not really an issue. It could be $1 the problem would be the same.

It's essentially a black box now, you have no auditing possibility, no way to extend it, no guarantee you can pick up the pieces is cognitect/rich goes away. You basically sign a check, and hope for the better.

I regret deleting my original Facebook account. I made it around the time they opened to every college in the US and there was a lot of history there, photos and videos and text. Sure most of it was worthless and maybe even embarrassing but that data is gone now.
Dude could have just as easily (probably far more likely) have paid his writer for 6-8 months and ended up with a dud site. Writer is free to take that risk as well if he so chooses. Instead he's taking the less risky fixed payment.
It seems possible to me that he wants to use that reputation so he can get just as much money without giving up equity.

Just like this news article showed. Guy with this idea? MEH. Inventor of the Roomba? Let's write it up!

Why would he give up money when he has the best marketing he can't buy? (cheaply)
My newly bought phone from last year was infected by this, even after resetting to factory, not even rooted yet.

I can't understand what was happening and how it got it, and no app can detect it. I've reported it to various groups and security experts, and finally, they found what was happening!

When I rooted the phone and installed a port of a Samsung ROM, that's when I noticed requests Zygote app which were all suspicious. For some reason, the custom ROM can intercept and show the suspicious requests, and block all the ads. The original ROM, even if rooted, can not block any of the popup ads, not even intercept the Zygote request.

I too feel exactly this way with almost everything. Facebook, Twitter, Slack, Email, Messages ... it's kind of tough to escape. Impossible even.

And here's the worst part: We grew up with this shit. My generation was one of the first (1987) to have their formative social years immersed in this shit. That means we'll never escape. Ever. We're literally wired to seek approval of strangers on the internet instead of the people around us. It feels more ... correct? Real? True?

That red circle with a number literally gives more enjoyment than a close friend saying "Heh that's cool". The worst part is that there's likely no cure. Rehab, maybe. But rehab for this shit doesn't exist yet.

Plus try explaining to your boss that you're not reading email and slack and you're never coming back because you're in notification rehab.

Simon Sinek explains it perfectly: https://youtu.be/hER0Qp6QJNU?t=195
That's an interesting question. Actually, from a mental wellbeing standpoint I can see the merits of a avoiding a language / platform if the community around it seems unpleasant / abrasive.

FWIW I think the TypeScript community is one of the best out there. I came for the language, I was delighted by the people <3

> I still remember when the original Nintendo came out in 1988. It was $149 for the system, the light gun + Mario Brothers and Duck Hunt.

The system came out in the US in 1985; the Action Set bundle you described came out in 1988. The Japanese release of the system was in 1983. It was a huge leap in technology, as you would expect with 6 years between the release of the 2600 and the Famicom; the NES graphics chip is much more capable, and the system has much more ram and address space, but the cpu is only clocked 50% higher (and is essentially the same, but with a larger address bus, and interrupts in the NES), the sound chip is better too. None of this detracts from your main point -- packing in the right software sells the hardware.
