I have a hard time buying into this.

What's the lifespan of an solar farm with equal output to a nuclear plant? We're about to approve nukes for 80 year life spans.

Nuclear has super low operating cost and a long lifespan. The only real economic downside is how flipping expense they are to build and a major reason for that is we don't have much experience building them (because they've lasted so many decades).

You're also assuming that solar/wind will be faster when we don't have any real solutions for using those sources as a baseload. Storage and distribution is nowhere near being able to handle such demand. The cost of revamping our grid once those technologies do reach maturity is going to be staggering aswell.

Solar and wind are promising but they are still a __long__ way from being proven enough to gamble an entire energy plan on.

Can you please give some examples of other types of people that are critical of unions, and why they are critical ?
At least I'm not aware of one. I find the amount of information on this topic overall quite thin. I get the feeling that prevention based medical research, without a background of commercialisation (i.e. drugs or treatments), isn't getting too much attention/funding overall, at least compared to its potential benefits.
An optimistic upper bound (unlikely but possible renewable adoption for material production energy), and pessimistic lower bound (current mix of evnergy for material production), and a best guess. That might convey enough information to give someone a good guess as to how things might turn out.

It starts to sounds complicated, and to be a lot of information to digest for a decision, but another way of looking at it is that correctly assessing and planning for energy needs in the future is so important that ignoring information like that when making an assessment is irresponsible. We need more nytimes.com style widgets that allow you to tweak the values to easily digest data like this, and that clearly reference where the data and assumptions come from.
Thanks! They are different sources, I use OpenDota's open source software to gather matches and dump them into Google's BigQuery for processing using our own algorithms we've created. The algorithms are run against 15 to 30 million matches depending on how deep in the patch is.

My guess is we've landed on similar algorithms to DotaPicker, it's usually the set of matches we're using that makes the difference so I'm surprised the suggestions were the same.

Eventually you'll find that making an issue of this, is a mistake. I was inclined to favor Google in this case, since TFA was published in the AMZN-CIA Post, but your unsavory contributions to this thread (not your original comment, but rather the clueless hole-digging that followed) have mostly changed my mind.
When China next tells Apple to backdoor iMessage encryption, the question is not whether Apple will cooperate, but how the public will ever find out that they had.
> Try to foment and support an insurgency or revolution or just invade them yourselves.

This is historically terrible advice.
I remember the promise of xhmtl and the sad reality that, by and large, nobody actually cared about well formed documents.

The specification allowing for "implicit" tags is something that just doesn't make any bloody sense to me. It feels like someone looked at all warnings in a compiler and said, I'll just explicitly define exactly how I want each warning to behave, so that it is no longer dangerous behavior.
I don’t think facebook took any stance.

Chinese gov’t just recognized how much data has on its users.
> I once had a manager ask me to email him a progress report every day; and every hour or two, he'd make a point of interrupting me to ask me "so how's <current_task> going?"

Asking a developer's status progress everyday or every hour? That shows the manager has absolutely no clue how development works. Period. Developers don't need a manager to "help" them make tradeoff on a daily basis. Developers need managers to back the fuck off to let them alone to concentrate on the mentally taxing work at hand.
Depending on your viewpoint, it's not even a problem. Telling China that their government is objectively wrong and should do things differently is pretty hypocritical unless we'd accept them telling us that our respective governments are wrong and should change.
The point is that pushing this as a concern for all implementing libraries is dangerous and likely not to end well. (At least, that is how I took the point.)

Nutrition. Exercise. Stress management. I think these are mainstream health practices.

If you have a very serious medical condition, like cancer, and you talk to a doctor about things like taking vitamins, most of them will pooh-pooh it as if any impact it has is merely a placebo effect. Using nutrition, exercise and stress management as part of your defense in the face of something that doctors don't really know how to treat gets dismissed and attacked and basically lumped in with snake oil. In fact, you are basically doing this yourself with your wild misquotes of people here in service of some agenda that has nothing whatsoever to do with trying to comprehend anything being said here, as best I can tell.
> Apple isn't a vessel for anyone's foreign policy objectives and it isn't a substitute for the state.

You're absolutely right, and you should follow this to its logical conclusion. Apple only does what's in its best interests. The company consistently acts to strengthen its brand whenever possible to make more money.

It's irrational to expect a corporation, whether it's Apple or any other entity, to act ethically. Every decision they make, from sponsoring LGBT events to pushing back against the FBI, is made carefully with their brand in mind. Imagine what would happened, for instance, if Apple hadn't pushed back against the FBI. Their customers would have been enraged, just as they are now.

The real question is this: What would you expect Apple to do as a shareholder?
ahh, a googlewhack
I'd argue that at the API level, these things should be required to think about. Any level of "help" so that I don't have to worry about cache headers should be from a framework that tells me what they think about them.
That's great, but doesn't solve the problem of how long it takes to run a scan.
This is the point John Gruber made:

To me, the more interesting question isn’t whether Apple should be selling its products in China, but rather whether Apple should continue to make the App Store the only way to install apps on iOS devices. A full-on “install whatever you want” policy isn’t going to happen, but something like Gatekeeper on MacOS could.

Keep iOS App Store-only by default. Add a preference in Settings to allow apps to be downloaded from “identified developers” (those with an Apple developer certificate) in addition to the App Store. In that scenario, the App Store is no longer a single choke point for all native apps on the device.

The App Store was envisioned as a means for Apple to maintain strict control over the software running on iOS devices. But in a totalitarian state like China (or perhaps Russia, next), it becomes a source of control for the totalitarian regime.

I don’t expect Apple to do this. They’d rather deal with the negative consequences of the App Store as a choke point than give up the benefits (including the profits) of maintaining complete control over all software on the platform.1 But if you’re angry about Apple’s role in this VPN crackdown in China, I suggest you direct your anger at the App Store as the single source for third-party software.
> I fear this major re-design will be a mistake.

The awful mobile app/site justifies this opinion. If there weren't alternative mobile apps then I would already have left reddit.

Here's hoping we can go with something more distributed and standards based this time so we don't have to keep jumping from ship to ship like this.
What's an example of such a calculation?
Correct. It becomes decisively illegal if you create fake identities to similarly spout your nonsense.
Thank you, good find. It appears to me that there's two different subjects here. Richardson found a potential link between toxic gases from fungal growth. Sprott developed a (low cost) method using plastic wrapping to counter it, and has data to back it up. Your linked study says that plastic covers reduces the risk of SIDS. Well, it seems to me that these findings all agree if the fungal growth (within the loose stuffing material [1]) hypothesis is correct. I expect a plastic cover to somewhat shield from such gases since it would make them vent more to the sides. In Sprott's solution there's holes at the bottom of the wrapping such that the vent is also happening around the mattress rather than at the top.

One maybe crucial finding in your study that would not agree with Sprott/Richardson is the null result concerning the use of older mattresses. That one seems curious to me.

So here's my next question: Blair et al., Richardson as well as Sprott have data that the bedding has significant influence on SIDS risk. Why is there no mention of this in any national health advisory I can find? Why are there no follow-up studies and the medical community just settled on advising for back sleeping, even though it seems obvious that the risk can be mitigated further?

[1] It's noteworthy that Blair et al. did not distinguish about the stuffing material, which was a rather crucial point made by Richardson AFAIK. Both Richardson and Sprott have specific advise for what material should be used (pure cotton, no wool and PVC in the stuffing). Was that left out your linked study intentionally?

If there's an explanation based on principles, and one based on tribalism, generally the tribalism one has more predictive power.

http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/09/30/i-can-tolerate-anything...

Apple's leaders take strong stances in those American political positions because those stances are against the tribal outgroup of the people who control Apple.

The tribal outgroup is, of course, American conservatives - especially social conservatives and Christians.

Of course any reasonable person would acknowledge that China's government is far more guilty of all the same wrongs as American conservatives, and many more. However, China isn't the outgroup of the tribe that controls Apple. They are a "far group" - just some people on the other side of the world doing terrible things.

What's more, they're non-white, which in the far-left view means the real moral responsibility for their actions must be traced back to the decisions of a white man some time in the colonial past. Ultimately all wrongs point to the true tribal outgroup - white male Western conservatives.

So Apple's leaders don't really care emotionally about anything China's government is doing. Because the tribal lines don't point to caring.

]Fighting against American conservatives is really rewarding, in self-image and social standing, and it doesn't cost or risk much business-wise, and it feels good to make them suffer because activists don't like them anyway. Fighting against China isn't rewarding at all, and costs a lot more, and people are trained to see them as hypo-agentic victims since they're non-white in the first place. That's the difference.
Sure, if you are an US citizen, you can argue that it should be US government's job to represent your ideals in the wider world.
But your government is not the only party responsible for representing your moral or political positions in the world.

For example, the US government collectively is not particularly famous for 100% morally upstanding behavior.
Granted, the US behaves often better than other great powers, and certainly it represents many ideals of democracy and liberty more than other contending powers. But consider the mess that was Iran-Contra affair or the various regimes ranging from unsavory authoritarianism to sheer terrorism (with "disappearances" and torture) CIA supported in Latin America in the name of anti-communism. (God forbid someone propose an idea of land reform in South America or advancing workers' and natives' rights against UFC, despite that's how numerous European countries avoided communism.) Did these actions (and various other questionable shenanigans the US government has been partial to) represent your ethical positions?

It's everyone's job to do it, and what any government does is only part of that. For example, you mentioned AAPL stock owners. According to any sane ethical system, the moral duty of any individual CEO or a member of board or stock owner as a human person with rights and corresponding duties to act ethically overrides their financial or legal duty to maximize corporate profits.
I could see plausibly assigning blame any combination of the browser (a beta version at that), the OS, or video drivers, but instead you're seriously going to blame a web page for locking up your machine? Is that really how low we want to set that bar?

>Imagine what would happened, for instance, if Apple hadn't pushed back against the FBI. Their customers would have been enraged, just as they are now.

They absolutely would not have. HN-types might have, but many of them were also enraged about many of Apple's business practices over the years including their App Store policies, not being "open", etc. And it hasn't had any measurable impact on Apple's success as a business.

The public at large wouldn't have cared just like they don't care when Apple complies with lawful orders for information as they do now [1].

Learning Racket #1: Introduction
While I agree with attempts to prevent governments from controlling speech, have spent a fair amount of time working on that, and was disturbed by Apple's role here, I don't think the dichotomy you present works as cleanly as you suggest. State power and culture shape and reinforce each other in an extremely complex way.
The argument isn't that the lack of political freedom in China is tolerable because that's just how Chinese culture is, but rather that corporations must not be the ones deciding which laws are applicable where.
The person interviewed isn't senior. The one interviewing is.

I think her solution for array larger than memory is very inefficient. Even in smaller case one might achieve speed up by excluding unnecessary read/temp/move in else clause by just by writing two values which will likely be in registers.
People used to say the same thing about digital currencies (think: Beenz.com https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beenz.com ) - because digital information can be copied freely, therefore a digital currency would need a central arbiter and a distributed digital currency would be impossible. And then BitCoin and the blockchain happened.

To say Internet voting is impossible is to admit a failure of imagination and ingenuity - I'm confident that some novel application of cryptographic and distributed-computing techniques could come up with a secure system.

But I'm wary of how complicated it would necessarily be to the average voter, or even someone with an advanced knowledge of computing - concepts like hashing and the blockchain are almost impossible to correctly explain to a layperson, let alone do they have the way to be confident of the results themselves - it would immediately cast doubt on the system because you cannot trust something that you cannot understand.
After going through several love-hate cycles in my career toward C++ I must say I have a kind of admiration for what the C++ authors are trying to achieve.

It took me a while to understand why every iteration of C++ brings so many (often Turing-complete or close) side effect horrors. The reason is that C++ is more than a language: it is part of an actually philosophical quest that language design is about.

It is about trying to bridge the language of the machines and the language of human abstractions as closely as possible. In itself it does not necessarily lead to the best language possible, but it explores an interesting limit.

One can use higher level languages like Haskel, Prolog or even a bit lower like Ruby or Python and code nice abstractions. By doing so, however, the programmer typically loses track of what the machine implementation will be.

C++ strives to be a language where you can still feel what the machine will actually implement while you code high-level abstractions.

That is their goal, that is their quest. In doing so there are many side-effects that pop up, but their effort is commendable.

That so many people still use it is impressive but, I think, irrelevant to the priorities they typically set.
I think people love it because you can get an average American's lifetime supply of energy from 1.5 soda cans of fuel and produce 3 soda cans of waste. And it's 24/7 reliable and emission free. That astounding energy density and associated tiny footprint is exciting all on its own.
There's a big difference between claiming there is no current technology to do this (which I agree with), and claiming it is impossible for there to ever be any in the future.
Well one way to tell would be to DDoS the FCC and see if it works. But of course they likely don't have anything and are just covering up their fictitious story with gobbledegook. Proving they were DDoS'd by showing evidence of the attack would in no way affect how they protect against it. But then they know that.

I bumped into this page from google and I was excited about this, then I contacted the hacker, i was scared at first but after i was shown proof of persons who had their lives changed i was let with no choice but to take a bold step,and till today that is the best one i ever took, and today i am very happy with my life, though they do not know i am doing this i really want them to have the best in life, contact them on their email:dmhatmhacker@gmail.com or dmhatmhacker@hotmail.com #money #ATM #CARD #HACKER #HELP #WORK #USA #AMERICA #ASIA
> They absolutely would not have.

Perhaps not. But Apple absolutely benefited from the overwhelmingly positive press coverage it received as a result of their decision to oppose the FBI. And when the FBI withdrew their request, Apple looked like the winner. So yes, I do believe they opposed the FBI in that instance to strengthen their brand.
It's not about tuning - I made a damn good living (talking $1k/hour with 8 hour minimums) as a MySQL guy before I touched nosql.

> No, that is a gross overgeneralisation and not true of any condition.

Bullshit. Anyone with a scientific background and a vested interest in studying a specific uncommon disease will likely know more about it than most GPs. General Practitioners are just that - generalists. They know the basics, plus enough to refer patients to an appropriate specialist. It's unreasonable to expect them to be well versed in every single obscure condition that a new patient could possibly have, and it's a naive appeal to authority to state that they automatically "know better" due to having a medical degree.
> “Presumably, resistant bacteria survive the sanitation process and rapidly re–colonize the released niches until reaching a similar abundance as before the treatment,” the authors concluded.

So we could sterilise sponges then deliberately re-colonise with 'good' bacteria to fill the niches. Maybe rinse with a bit of live culture yoghurt perhaps? Any bacteriologists on HN that could weigh in?

You're right. That's why neither iMessage nor FaceTime use encryption in china. Because they don't care.

Oh wait, Apple still uses into end encryption in China for both of those so that the Government Camp spy on people.

Getting rid of VPN apps is part of staying in China. So the question you have to ask is which is better for Apple to do: stay trying out without VPNs but keeping their consumer products encrypted whenever possible, or keep VPNs in the store and get all their products kicked out of the country.

If Apple gets kicked out, the no one gets to use VPNs on their iPhones. They don't get to use iPhones at all. They lose the encryption of iMessage in FaceTime.

Learning a Health Knowledge Graph from Electronic Medical Records
"graphics memory" is probably not the right term here. While the Pro SSG does have 2TB of storage on board, that comes in the form of a NAND flash, PCIe SSD (from Samsung IIRC). While fast, this SSD provides single digit GB/s bandwidth at most, compared to the hundreds of GB/s of bandwidth that the DRAM-based GDDR5 or HBM provide. When we say "graphics memory," we're almost always referring to the latter, and never see more than maybe 32 GB of DRAM based memory on board.
