A well insulated water tank that is electrically chilled during peak solar and used to cool down air later in the day/night could solve that storage problem without any cell degradation. Theoretically, with perfect insulation, this could even reduce the total electricity demand, when the conversion from electricity to a temperature gradient happens during a time when the base temperature is low.
I dread using Skype on my Windows 10 laptop. The application crashes half the time, logs me out for no reason, and takes a ridiculous amount of time to load up.

I haven't seen a app more ignored than Skype. This should have been what Whatsapp is today. But MS just killed it
When I read the headline, I immediately thought that it meant I could pay for charging with Bitcoin and/or Ethereum.

What else can be inferred from the headline? What would it mean to "put car charging on a blockchain"? Can you explain for the rest of us ?

I also liked XHTML, but why do you see it as a transition path to something like XAML? Isn't it basically well-structured HTML?

I mean, I get that it's extensible thanks to XML, but that doesn't mean browsers would actually have an incentive to create and implement such extensions.
The most obvious thing to me is to use an intermediate language - I assume this has already been discussed extensively, anyone have references?

Javascript would benefit from something like boost. Not in a sense of a library because that already exists with lodash and underscore and what not. But in the term of community and acceptance: "Yes, boost is bloated and not always ideal, but it is almost always a better choice than reimplementing the thing"
Any (non-tesla?) source? Model S has only existed for nine years.

Also, the life-time of a car that needs a $20.000+ battery replacement will obviously prematurely make the car utterly worthless.

Usage and weather most certainly have a huge impact as well.

Don't get me wrong, I'm interested in a used model 3 when that time comes. But that hinges on that you can replace the battery for a reasonable cost, reasonable even for an older car.
This is definitely interesting and well excuted, but there are two problems which prevent me from using this regularly. These are, of course, just my opinions and I completely understand that others may disagree:

Firstly, the interaction paradigm doesn't really make sense. Swiping should advance / go back, not open or hide, and tapping on the headline should open the link in the browser. The headlines should automatically cycle through with a customisable delay, or work like a scrolling ticker system.

Secondly, there's no way to view the HN comments on any given article, since swiping takes you directly to the article. If I read an article linked on HN while I'm browsing here, I am invariably more interested in the discussion surrounding it than the article itself. Ideally, tapping the headline would open the comments on HN, and I could then open the link to the article myself if I choose to. Alternatively, a short press could open the article, and a long press could open the comments, or something like that.

Overall, I really like the concept, and I especially like the fact that it turns the Touch Bar into something actually useful for a change, but I can't see myself using this app without the above changes.

EDIT: I don't seem to be able to quit the app, either. I had to kill the process since tapping on the "x" button didn't do anything.

> the blockchain verifies how much the driver owes

Maybe there's something here where it's pulling external data (e.g. set price/unit or a trusted source that says how much was taken) to decide the price?
The funny thing is that Bitcoin, because of its decentralized nature, doesn't have an entity tied to it (like Apple and AAPL). So who has the authority to "split" bitcoin? To "spin off" bitcoin? And under what obligation are the exchanges required to accept those modifications/additions to bitcoin?

It's more like I announce tomorrow that I am going to issue a Pear stock at 1:1 for each existing AAPL stocker holder. Would Stock Brokers like Scottrade need to accept Pear stock on behalf of their customers that owns AAPL stock? Under what authority can I "spin off" an AAPL stock?

I don't think Coinbase is under any obligation to honor any Bitcoin spin-off/fork/split, unless it is done by an authority of bitcoin (like Apple and AAPL), which for decentralized crypto currency like bitcoin means no one.
Many of the communities nowadays use Slack or any other team collaboration tool to keep in touch and communicate quickly with each other, so it's not difficult to join them. Emberjs for example, has a very friendly community, if you are interested on it.

Go step by step to avoid feeling overwhelmed by all the things you have to learn. Be also aware of the "imposter syndrome"[1] which many people feel despite of being great professionals. Try not to compare yourself with others too much and congratulate yourself when you achieve something important for you, even if it looks like something small.

A big part of the job will be to keep a good state of mind and leave aside any negative thought like "this is too difficult", "I can't do this", "I'm too old for this", etc.

Good luck!

>I asked where the stolen money actually is.

Okay, let's go down that route. Here's where it is: nowhere. Not because it disappeared, but because it was never actually located IN a wallet. And this is true of all bitcoins! They're not really IN wallets. They're abstract entities, if they count as entities at all. The wallets are the more primary entities in the BTC platform, as I understand it. Wallets are associated with amounts of BTC.

The BTC platform has no concept of 'stolen' coins. That's why you'll need another parallel platform to deal with this issue. As a wholly hypothetical platform, we're free to propose the invention of new conventions here.

There was a community-driven project for exactly this. It was hosted on http://tldr.io. There was a browser extension showing you the summary of an article when you visited it and you could contribute your own summaries. And I started creating a Windows Store app (back in the time of Windows 8.0) for browsing all TL;DRs.

But sadly, the project has been discontinued for a couple of years already. I think it lacked incentives for summary writers (for example micro payments from summary readers) and also a monetarization model for the project creators.

The comment you are replying to literally did not mention women or sex or gender at all. You brought that into it.

It seems like you're the one assuming it'd be a given that the woman didn't contribute. Nobody else said anything about them.

Those pay-as-you-use-it (prepayment) meters still exist!

The first house I rented as a student had one, in 2006. The landlord said the previous tenants had had trouble paying the bills, so the electricity company had insisted on the meter when reconnecting the supply. In reality, I think he'd asked for it to be installed to simplify his job.

Nowadays, the meters are topped up with a smart card, usually at a local newsagent or corner shop. I think we put £100 on it, then forgot about it for several months.

The difference is historical experience of XIX century. Have you ever heard of Opium Wars?

Well British Empire - the largest drug cartel in history forced drugs on China and it's neighbours in the name of Free Trade. The British position was that China cannot forbid and stop "free trade" by British merchants selling drugs produced in Bengal, India (in order to self-finance costs of India occupation and wars) via Canton and Hong-Kong to China .

The amount of drugs exported into China by British was circa 20 times the current consumption levels in US, similar in Thailand etc.. And the drug epidemic brought China to it's knees from a large however slightly backward and rigid empire of the beginning of XIX century to impoverished, revolution's torn country of the beginning of XX century.

The memory of drug epidemics and the humiliation is still there and that's why Asian countries reject soft approach to drugs. The ruling elites know that over certain threshold drug epidemics could absolutely bring the country down.
> It's not a bad thing: efficiency gains are good. But they don't reduce the total energy expenditure, because they incentivise increased mining.

I think it's a stretch to say the two are perfectly linked.

If you dropped someone's electricity price in half, would they buy twice the equipment to mine? If you dropped it to 1%, would they buy 100x as much equipment?

> So are you saying it's sensible that we're stuck with emails printed on reams of paper because it's too hard to define a better spec?

Oh, it's not sensible but I do appreciate the huge gap between a tossed out "lol, use digital" and reality that people blithely ignore. As a trivial example, marking up emails printed on paper can be a lot easier than doing it digitally.

> Frankly, if someone only has access to paper files they should be required to scan them.

How do you prove the scans are correct? Presumably the paper files have some kind of chain of custody going on - how do you enforce that for digital files? What resolution do you enforce? What colour settings? Or B&W? Or shades of grey, even? What happens to the forensic dots that printers add when you scan a document? They might be vital evidence.

It's fine to just "scan them" in an office but you really want to avoid any kind of potential data loss when you're talking about evidence in a court case.

And dipping into the wilder reaches of fantasy, how do you guard against things like steganography being used to pass information secretly? Or avoid viruses / trojans / zipbombs / whatnots?
Except bitcoin don't have a "company" that pays dividend per say. Owning bitcoin doesn't give ownership to anything beyond bitcoin itself. I cannot pay a random dividend to APPL stock holders because I am not AAPL. Why would Coinbase has to accept this random "dividend" from another random entity?

I think "/usr/bin" is simple and efficient, and Fedora/CentOS have converged on that a couple of years ago (/bin is a symlink to /usr/bin on those distros). /sbin is the same (linked to /usr/sbin).

I've been using a 15" tMBP for around 8 months now and although I don't miss the function keys one bit, I'm yet to have an experience with the Touch Bar that makes me go "oh, now I get it."

Changing the volume and brightness by pressing and holding the relevant icon and sliding is nice, but that's literally all I've ever really had to use the Touch Bar for.

I'm not looking at the keyboard while I type and therefore am never going to see or use the auto-suggest dictionary thing it does when you're filling in text fields, nor am I ever inclined to use emoji, so that Touch Bar feature is essentially invisible to me.

Apps which integrate the Touch Bar in some way are only ever replicating functionality that already exists in the app itself, and so there's no real impetus to use the Touch Bar if you're already familiar with that app.

I feel like there's something missing here, that the Touch Bar's killer feature just hasn't been presented to me yet. I don't have a suggestion for what that killer feature might be, but I expect that as time goes by and the Touch Bar becomes more prevalent, developers will start thinking about unique and innovative ways to incorporate it.
That's ridiculous - you seriously think that how the blockchain works and concepts like cryptographic proof-of-work is easier for a layman to understand than interbank settlement and reserve accounts at a central bank?

That's where you need something like PowerShell, which pipes objects around instead of streams of bytes which are probably text.

Of course, PowerShell has its own issues, but the idea of a shell with more meaning attached to things is appealing. Rebuilding an ecosystem that can handle it all though... not so plausible!

Note the missing article. Not "relies on the blockchain" or "relies on a blockchain" but "relies on blockchain" as if that were some kind of new elemental resource like water or electricity.

I've noticed that expression in quite a few articles. DOes anyone know where it comes from?
About Bootstrap: I, too, have questioned the viability of grid frameworks and CSS preprocessors here when we have CSS grids and variables, but I think Bootstrap is such a useful thing for a split designer/developer workflow that it'll live on and eventually converge into using CSS grid directly in a couple years.

Bootstrap team has made slow but steady progress over the last few weekends and is working on documentation issues, so it looks like a new release is imminent.

Apparently it doesn't have Sass Support which kind of makes it not viable for me. Otherwise pretty great for hacking up small projects when you don't want to setup your whole environment yourself.
Lithium is a lot harder to produce than lead. That's certainly most of the price difference, regardless of abundance in the crust.

But statements like this should really be talking about the "economically extractable ore", and it needs to include economic thresholds. There's a price curve there, and I suspect that for lithium it is a steep one because of how complicated its manufacturing is relative to lead.

I don't know if we're near the limit though. I don't really buy it personally, I'm much more worried about rare earths.

I taught CFEngine at one of their conferences (for managing Linux running on z/OS) and got exposed to more mainframe-y stuff than I ever had before in my career as a UNIX/Linux sysadmin.

What are you looking to do in the mainframe world?

You can also go to https://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/ and then ask for a quote and talk to a sales rep to price one out, you'll see what's involved and capabilities.
>>Through these institutions we attempt to develop laws, regulations, and codes of conduct, that attempt to define acceptable behaviour, rights and responsibilities, protections, and punishments.

This is where I disagree. I am proponent of Lockean natural or self evident rights. Government's sole purpose it is protect my individual rights that I have simply because I exist. These rights are an extension of my Self Agency or Self Ownership.

Government is not to define what is "accptable behaviour" or to define what my rights are, or what codes of conduct is to be.

Law should simply be the collective organization of the individual right to lawful defense. This common force is to only protect persons, liberty and property.
This situation is no different than any other founder leaving the company and selling his stakes. HN will have to find another way to blame this on women

I think you’re letting your own bias leak here where you implicitly assume all founders are male and their spouses female :)

That’s a glib way for me to make the point, but it does feel like you are jumping to conclusions. I would argue that divorce-related acrimony between founders is still at least somewhat interesting, in the sense that it’s a valid question whether or not there are standard ways to avoid problems in such complex and unpleasant situations as divorce. No matter the gender of the people involved!
I felt the same way about the new butterfly keys for the first 15 minutes or so, but very quickly got a feel for them and now I prefer them to the keys on my mid-2012 MBP.

Lets start with the whole, "crypto-concurrency mining is wasting money" argument.
This link https://www.federalreserve.gov/faqs/currency_12771.htm shows how much it costs to print a currency note just in the US. This shows how many notes are in circulation in the us https://www.federalreserve.gov/paymentsystems/coin_currcircv...

Then there's the cost in securing the money, transferring it, and keeping track of it add the cost of fake notes, lost and damaged notes and you should see where I am going with this argument.

Then lets talk about "application of btc for edge cases" moving money internationally is not an edge case, it is something that makes the world go round and disruption in that area is no trivial thing. Its not an edge case. As for crypto being used by people to avoid detection, well, you can do the same things with fiat currencies. Why do you think there are organisation like the FBI hiring highly skilled people to track and trace what people do with their money. In a crypto world there is a better chance for law enforcement to catch criminals.

The best thing about the blockchain is it helps us solve the problem of trust, ofcourse I agree there are problems with this model right now, for example how mining pools can technically launch a 51% attack on the major block-chains and the wole tx/s problem. But what you need to realize is these problems are being acknowledged by the community and are being solved little by little, the technology is progressing there's billions of dollars worth of money tied up in this project. One more point, the block chain is not just about currencies, there's so many more areas where they can be useful. Take a look at the Ethereum project.

Therefore I am someone who really believe that block-chains are here to stay and they are going to effect every single one of us.

As I already said in another comment, Sass support would be a huge deal for me and our team. Without it, it's not that viable for us to use since we write all our styling in scss. But it's still very nice and I would certainly use it for small projects or some fast hackups.

I think I need to be more clear here. That statement in quotes is not my opinion. It is some toxic line of thought I hear every once in a while.
That's not exactly the question. It's more like if you dropped the price of electricity to 1% would 100x as many people participate. The answer to that is generally yes.
> For most situations, the vast majority of kids would just be embarrassed for like 10 seconds, laugh, and maybe try to prank the person back.

>For comparison, public telephony systems aimed for five 9s. That was usually expressed as "20 minutes downtime over 40 years, combined hardware and software budget, for outages affecting more than 32 users." One software crash requiring human intervention would count for more than 20 minutes, so you were allowed <1 of these in 40 years system lifetime.

And all of that is total bogus (the "aim", not your information), as no public telephony system (and surely not in my country) ever had anything close to that.

A few hours of downtime a few times a year is much more like it, although it has been getting better over time.
