I also think that Tesla will be a big player but not the only one. There are currently probably around 10 large car manufacturers. Tesla can replace one of them but not all 10.

Large manufacturers can likely progress fast on new technology so I'd guess that this will just lead to further concentration and another smaller player disappears (if there's still one left).

That is one way to get the money out. As the article points out, others keep the money in bitcoin (which would have net them a handsome profit lately), but presumably you could also get an overseas bank account denominated in dollars.

The laundromat owner in the article recently explained (https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sfbarentersfed/u898cgma8jE/7...) that the duration of the lease is a big determinant of whether it’s sustainable. It could very well be that a laundromat in the Mission district cannot afford today’s rents.

In the case of Lavanderia, since he is lucky to own the land, he is also mindful of the highest and best use of the land.
This is certainly true for components, and Shoelace does style components this way (look at switches and tabs, for example). But for basic elements (non-components) IMO a clean reset is reasonable to expect.

The best teachers are often not the top experts and vice versa. I am making money teaching go lessons as an average amateur. Why does this work? Because there are very few teachers whose specialty is to get novices and beginners to average amateur level fast. Sign up here: patreon.com/jonbarker . What do I get out of this? Reusable downloadable/paid content and more exposure. I also get to think about how to teach anything (meta-teaching), which is a generally valuable skill.

Total war between large nations is very bad. Large scale pandemics on the order of the medieval black death are catestrophic.

But how much do you spend to prevent war? How much do you dump into the CDC? Is there a Bureau for the Prevention of Chaos?

And how do you irrigate the Midwest once the aquifers get low? Piping desalination water from the Gulf?

You don't need thousands of cases, but you probably do need on the order of around a thousand samples. A hundred individuals with ten samples each over time isn't that challenging. I've done it successfully with mouse work at that scale.

I've found that in biological systems, individual variation can be as large as population variation, particularly for something "reactive" like the immune system, which is tied into stress response.

Donated!
I don't think that's the right solution to the problem. Nobody wants libleftpad.so, and as someone who works on a distribution the very concept is horrific (making distribution packages for every three-line package does not make anyone happy).

What I think GP was arguing for is that you have libstring.so which you can strip down to just having leftpad or w/e with Kconfig or similar configurations (preferably at link time not build time -- otherwise you still have the same problem).
What an awesome idea. Would love to hear more about the stack & roadmap. I see lots in progress--

I see vue.js, and some material design layered on top. This would be a fun project to put together w/ Angular+Firebase+Cloud Functions.

Would love if these were 'embeddable', and CRUD w/ API.

Ah yes, "fundamentals". Also known as "everyone should have to go through the same hazing rituals I went through!"
the biggest annoyance being that these are even less integrated and fine tuned to the environment than all those bloaty corporate apps. The best apps still are made by small indy developers, feeling right at home in their OS. Take for example Instapaper, Fantastical, Outbank, Due, Reeder.. You just can't make web apps so polished, so well integrated into the OS..
Time waste alert - you don't even bother responding to people and yet are constantly posting these same roles on HN. This is not just my experience but also a coworker as well.

A great documentary about this is "Pandora's Promise". In it quite a few previous sustainable energy (wind, solar) advocates lay out the problem: sustainable has too far to catch up and in order to get the developing world to high quality of life they need high energy consumption per capita fast. Only solution to this is a safe version of nuclear.
Has it, though? Keep in mind the difference between "expensive" and "a lot of money". Nuclear costs a ton to build and a ton to decommission, but in between is a very long period of nearly constant very high power production.

New-built nuclear costs around €5.3b (Finland[1] and France[2]) to €9.3b (UK[3]) per installed GW, and France, Germany and UK estimates €300m, €1.4b and €2.7b (respectively) pr GW installed to decommission. That's €6-€13b/GW total + operating costs -- and those costs will come down as (if) we start ramping up construction and learn to avoid the cost overruns and get experience decommissioning plants.

New-built offshore wind costs €3-4.7b/GW[4] -- and these prices are set to go up, as the easy sites for installation are running out. Capacity factors are only around 50%, so already there offshore wind is roughly on par with fully loaded nuclear (which has capacity factors of 90+%), and that's without counting decommissioning, extremely high operating expenses and the extra infrastructure and pollution required to deal with the unreliability of wind (typically, gas plants), and, most severely, the expected lifetime of ~25 years[5] compared to 60+ years for nuclear.

Attention All Investors; Two-Factor Authentication of Your Ethereum Wallets
Don't forget to prepare pitchforks for after the gold crash ;)
Very good points. In complex financial transactions (at least within regulatory domains), my understanding is that rollbacks can and do happen. I initially thought across borders/regulatory domains, blockchain will shine. I haven't seen a killer application just yet. It is a bit frustrating because the tech is indeed interesting .. we just don't have multi-billion dollar real (as opposed to imagined) use-cases beyond the distributed ledger.
Of all things to spend tax dollars on, public baths seems pretty far down the priority list.
Proof-of-work is simply not sustainable (energy-wise), IMO, for the foundation of a global system. The stability of whole ecosystems is predicated upon those ecosystems being attractive to people who want to make money by competing to solve hard problems by brute force.

That's a lot of energy going into a system that can commit a new block of transactions once every 10 minutes on average. It solves a problem in an interesting way, but it's nowhere near quick enough or efficient enough to solve 99% of engineering problems. That's why only 1% of engineers are working on it.

Also, I'm just going to quote it:

I got an impression who their target audience is, based on the examples used, drinking kombucha and listening to Spotify.

All the young, beautiful people who wouldn't have ever taken a computer science course if it weren't such a lucrative industry to be in right now.

Maybe with this guide they can pass an interview at a big company where they just twiddle with bits all day. I won't be holding my breath until they can produce something useful.

You don't see any arrogance here? All it needed was an avocado-toast reference to be indistinguishable from a "why millennials are terrible and my generation is much better than them" thinkpiece.
Depends on the language. If you're using something like C++, you can probably remove a lot of dead code. But with more dynamic languages, like Objective-C or Ruby or JavaScript, it becomes difficult or impossible to prove that a given chunk of code is never used. In Objective-C (which I'm most familiar with), the linker will keep all Objective-C classes and methods because it has no idea if you might be looking things up by name at runtime and invoking them that way.

Even if you can throw away dead code, you can run into bloat because a library has a massive set of foundational APIs that the rest is built on, and using one little feature of the library ends up bringing in half the library code because it's used everywhere.
Why isn't X working on blockchain technology?

Maybe instead of asking this, we should ask the cryptocurrency enthusiasts what area of technology won't be dropped-and-replaced by blockchains, because so far it seems apparently applicable to every single use case in every single industry... By the way, did you guys hear this thing is an immutable ledger?
This is a talk Daniel Egloff gave at GTC 2017 on some of the cool work we're doing on the pricing team at Jet.com. He does a great job of getting into the nitty-gritty of how hard merchant selection can be (goes step-by-step through some examples) and how we're going about solving it.
I'm a hiring manager that's currently scanning these just in case a good candidate is out there. I found one I am considering forwarding to a friend in the finance industry that is always on the lookout for talent. HN users tend to be a cut above, on average.

So, yes, I think you may be wrong on this one.

Reading this, a question comes to my mind: how cheap does an energy storage solution has to become, to finance it through speculation on energy/power exchanges (buying in times of overproduction and selling at high consumption times) ?
I a word...YES!
he fact is, as human beings in general and individually as small business owners, we are all unique in one shape or form or another. Our life experiences are all different, and they are what differentiates us from our peers and often the competition.
The fact is we all have some expertise or life experience that gives us wisdom from which others can benefit. In turn, we can use the opportunity to gain the wisdom of others by learning from their experience, knowledge, and understanding.
