I see a lot of objections based on Carnot's heat cycle. What about using waste heat as the energy input? This would make the system an effectively free source of energy. Existing data centres could be retrofitted with this technology. Instead of dumping the waste heat outside with air conditioning, you store it in a fluid tank.
the "Evidence from india" part is important.
There is the saying that the best way to learn is by teaching others and I have found this to be completely true with my own blogging. Teaching topics that you recently learned helps to solidify your understanding of the information because it requires additional research and considerations that would have never been made if you were satisfied with what you had learned and decided to move on.

So should we use <h1 class="h1"> and <a class="a">? It's redundant. Shoelace provides a reset + minimal, default, and customizable styles. You can use variables and also modifiers to change those styles. It's not Bootstrap. Different paradigm.
I mostly agree with his paragraph above. But from your link,

"No. Healthy societies do not fall apart over slow, widely predicted, relatively small economic adjustments of the sort painted by climate analysis. Societies do fall apart from war, disease or chaos. Climate policy must compete with other long-term threats for always-scarce resources."

"Small economic adjustments?" How many large scale resources does preventing war or pandemics require? Is chaos a real threat?

Most of what he lists are effects, not causes. Here's an economic question for him: what happens when the area between the Mississippi and the Rockies returns to being an unusable semidesert? (That's not an if. It is all irrigated.)

And I'll just leave this comment here: "As I favor a uniform VAT in place of the idiotically complex income and corporate tax system."

I've worked in Infosys from September 2015 till March 2017, mostly involving front-end development using Vue.js. I am also learning PHP and Laravel right now. I also tinker with game development in my free time, mostly using HTML5 and Javascript Canvas API.

A small project I built is currently on Show HN, built using PHP/Laravel. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14687294)

Failing? In China (2015), nuclear was the fastest-growing electricity source (29% growth).
It is easy to talk software developers into nuclear. In the software world, if you have bugs, you fix them in the next patch, as they are discovered.

In the nuclear reactor engineering world, a failure (as the result of a single bug or engineering oversight) can result in a 60 year clean up project, make $100B in farmland unusable, and other problematic outcomes.

It is difficult to comprehend the sheer magnitude of difference.
If you're looking decades out, you need to think about all the potential competitors in the energy market. I'm not sure the case building these plants gets any better. Costs for solar, wind, and energy storage are coming down rapidly, and they can be built relatively quickly.
Killers of a Marriage: See 27 Things That Crashes a Marriage
Anecdotally, this isn't enough to prevent it from triggering in my pocket when I'm a bit sweaty, so I've had to turn that feature off.
I blog instead of keeping a notebook and recommend it.

I blog for myself - and if its useful to others then thats great.

That said I've got this aim to get 100 readers per day - getting close as around 80-90 at the moment
For this year's DEFCON CTF, the organizers decided to break all existing tooling by making a custom architecture with 9-bit bytes, 27-bit words, and middle-endian integers.

I was able to make a [Binary Ninja](https://binary.ninja) architecture plugin on the flight to Vegas, but unfortunately I had to expand everything to 16-bit bytes to be able to handle addressing. This made control flow graph recovery possible, but I had to choose between accurate data references or accurate immediates. I ended up going with accurate immediates and letting my data references fall into the middle of functions (because instruction addresses were all 2x).

The 27-bit words and middle-endianness wasn't a huge issue, but the 9-bit bytes really really sucked. We had IO buffering issues on every exploit we wrote and analyzing PCAPs was a huge pain.

Another perspective would be that a standardized browser extension api means you're not locked into browsers via "essential" extensions. Though, while I do like removing locking, I'm not sure if that is a bigger concern than what you cite.
But even when NATO/the West does more than the bare minimum, the whole world criticizes, NATO fails at the mission, and we just spend a boatload of money. All I hear is how we're intervening in everybody's affairs, until something bad happens then everybody wants our help, but then not too much help, just enough, oh and if you accidentally kill a civilian than that means we have 1,000 terrorists or whatever rhetoric. People in Venezuela are calling for US airstrikes. Like seriously? After all the anti-US/West sentiment now when it comes up in your backyard you want us there? No thanks. Solve your own problems.

>But the issue is already the West's responsibility, because we have the ability to act and choose not to

I mean, that's your opinion, but I disagree with that completely. Syria, though, is far more complicated than a normal situation.

Cleaning your tongue is much more effective.
Ditto. Average energy impact is 3.24.
True, but we've solved that reasonably well enough when hand-coding that slapping a GUI code generator on top of it should be workable.
Chrome dev tools has a reasonable connection bandwidth simulator. Is there a good one that also simulates variability / packet loss in addition to bandwidth caps?
>I could argue that the hoops to jump through aren't that great

Yes, it might have been doable. But you must also remember that such an ability is a privilege, not a right- if you lost your job, quit school, or whatever granted you your hypothetical residence permit ceased to be a thing, you'd have to leave and uproot your life. As a UK citizen EU member, you had a right to live and work anywhere in the EU. Post-Brexit, not so much.
Show HN: Mini ICOs of physical (art) pieces
Hi everyone,
We just launched possibly a first ICO of a physical object ever.

The project page is here:

http://www.trivial.co/

And the first ICO page is here:

http://www.trivial.co/auction/

The first item sold is just a rat mascot with no artistic purpose, but possibly - a high historical one :)

The site requires MetaMask to track ICO's progress - we'll be fixing that soon.

Any feedback will be appreciated. Especially potential new sellers, ideas for things anyone would be willing to buy, and ideas for investment funds willing to play with such tokens :)
Fairytales and religion wouldn't be so popular if people didn't already have an innate desire to believe in good and bad people.
I used Delphi to create tons of both large apps and small utilities as a teenager. ...admittedly, I uh "creatively borrowed" the package then (couldn't even remotely afford it) and at the current price, I can see why people would continue to do that.

With that said, I'd really like to check out Lazarus the next time I need to create such a GUI utility or the like. ...and if the price wasn't crazy, I'd be very tempted to try Delphi for some projects again.
Nice. Really good app for enhancing and applying filters to my pictures. I like those funky messages and scores!

Etsy | Full Stack Software Engineer | Brooklyn, REMOTE

You'll be helping us build delightful products and experiences for people buying and selling with Etsy.

This is definitely getting to be a major problem. I've removed several apps for this reason as well.

I noticed the same trend on StackOverflow careers, it's down about the same percentage comparing to a year ago. Rails is not as exciting anymore. Ruby meetups in my city(Montreal) have less attendants than the new Elixir meetup.

http://www.reallyhyped.com/?keywords=ruby%2Cruby-on-rails
Yeah, I've seen that before and it looks promising.

My favorite, and the only one I've used extensively, is [DB Ghost](http://www.dbghost.com/). What I like about it compared to all others I've run across is that it, by default, will automatically sync your target DB (e.g. a production DB) with a model source DB that it also builds automatically.

So instead of scripting out every schema change as explicit SQL statements and queries you just maintain the scripts to build the model source DB, e.g. to add a column to a table, instead of creating a SQL script file to `ALTER TABLE Foo ADD COLUMN Bar ...` you just update the existing SQL script file with the `CREATE TABLE Foo ...` statement. When you deploy changes – 'sync' a target DB in the DB Ghost terminology – it automatically detects differences and modifies the target to match the source.

The benefit being that neither you nor the DB Ghost program needs to explicitly perform every single migration since the beginning of time. Only changes that need to be explicitly handled as migrations, but, with a little customization, doing that is pretty easy too.

The bar now for me working with databases is whether I can create a new 'empty' database (with test data) in a minute or two and whether I can automatically deploy changes (or, as I'm doing now, generate a deployment script automatically). Given that, I can actually do something like TDD for databases, which is really nice, especially if there's significant business logic in the database (which there almost always is in my experience to-date).
Oh the games will be optimized, but you can be certain they will be optimized for what the developer wants, not what the user wants.

That is, maximized micro transactions and addictive potential.
> The PREVENT strategy could have been useful.

No, it couldn't have been. It's a mistake to believe that any prevention strategy will work on a large scale, and the reason is you'll always get too many false positives like that [1].

It's not just an issue with schools being too eager to report. It will happen in any scenario, including inside intelligence agencies if you force them to go after any "remotely potential terrorist". There will be thousands and thousands of false positives.

That's the thing; it isn’t really about Trump. Trump is just mentioned gratuitously by the reviewer in order to make a history book "seem current."

It's pretty sleazy.
Sure, and I'm not disagreeing that his opponents can be ridiculous. But they can also be very intelligent, and the audience will never see that side of them. The audience will see isolated clips that exaggerate their seeming incompetence.

More importantly, if that's his job description than it's not all that conducive to qualified political discussion. If someone really sides with Bernie Sanders, providing an elevated rebuttal to his economic policies is better than making fun of his hair, or the fact that he has a (to some) funny Brooklyn accent.

Likewise, critiquing Trump's policies is good. Making him appear ridiculous and starting every single show with, "President Trump, two words that...{funny joke}" while joking about his hair and fake tan are not conducive to educated discourse. It just further entrenches the demographics into two isolated camps. Sure he cites specific sources, but you begin to wonder how much of the audience really tunes in for that material, since a lot of it just appears to be a reaffirmation of unchallenged beliefs.

Where I do give John Oliver credit is for showcasing problems in society than many people are unaware of. I do frequently give the show a watch, I just make it part of a very diversified set of news and I don't particularly enjoy it all that much when, as another commenter mentioned, he goes heavy into histrionics. It becomes circular.

I guess to put my point more succinctly: John Oliver is not necessarily wrong in his conclusions, and he makes attempts to cite sources. But he arrives at his conclusions in a way that intrinsically encourages the same tribalism he often criticizes, and that tribalism is harder to identify because of the (real or apparent) intellectualism about it.

This is a misunderstanding of Carnot cycle efficiency. The thing that makes the Carnot cycle special is that it is reversible. So in principle, you can get 100% of the mechanical energy that you put in back out again, by running the process in reverse.

The usual efficiency calculation for a Carnot cycle tells you what fraction of heat energy that's removed from the hot reservoir can be converted to mechanical work. This is always less than 100%.

However, when running the cycle in reverse as a heat pump, it is possible to transfer more than one Joule of energy from the cold reservoir to the hot reservoir per Joule of mechanical energy used. That's why the round trip efficiency from mechanical energy back to mechanical energy can be 100%.

I have no idea what the practical efficiency of this system can be. But it's wrong to immediately reject it on theoretical grounds.

There has been plenty written about the creepiness of personal information intrusion in today's society, so I won't recap it here. But facial gestures in iOS worry me for two reasons:

1. People will give permission for it without realising their personal information, preferences and data will be collected, aggregated and used to build an overall profile of them as a person, to find the most effective way of convincing them to buy things. Much like the old flashlight apps that curiously required location permissions, it'll be permission creep all over again.

2. Facial gestures are involuntary. You don't explicitly give permission for the fact that X made you smile and Y made you frown because it'll happen before you're even consciously aware that you've done it.

Why do you think ad providers will optimise for things that make me happy? Why not optimise for things that make me worried, and more likely to purchase the answer whatever "problem" they are putting in front of me?

Imagine if docs could be rejected from a new job because they failed to repeat the obscure diagnosis that was featured on the last episode of House, that really has nothing at all to do with the job they wanted to do.

Imagine if lawyers could be rejected for not being able to explain the minority opinion in Foobar v. Bazquux, which again, has absolutely nothing to do with their expected duties as prosecutor of poor people with small amounts of marijuana.

Imagine if real engineers were asked to build a suspension bridge out of silly putty, table salt, and carbon fiber.

The interviewees are simply doing their jobs, which is to analyze a problem and implement the most cost-effective solution. The interviewers are the ones causing the problem. Granted, it isn't always because they are non-technical people trying to gauge the value of skills they don't understand. A lot of times, it is because the interviewer is a tech person that still can't effectively gauge the value of skills they do understand, and also wants to look clever in front of a stranger, subtly discriminate to preserve "culture", and do the same stuff to others that had been previously done to them in their interviews.
