I guess the problem with Etsy is that they have investors that demand more growth. Organic and more slow growth probably would have been better for Etsy, but now it is in a death trap.

Transitions between hot and cold temperatures don't cause colds. Cold viruses cause colds.

You get summer colds because more people congregate in close quarters when the weather outside is unbearable, making virus transmission easier.
Been a bit of a running joke between my partner and I that if you want to get a discount on something from Etsy, reverse image search it and buy it off Aliexpress for 50 cents.
The largest and most climatically challenged state is Alaska. But their population of 742,000 people (more than _one_ per square mile!) can only burn so much energy.

It all interacts. Being top of a single metric (I wouldn't be at all surprised if the inhabited part of Texas is larger than the inhabited part of Alaska) is pretty meaningless.

I am rooting for cryptocurrencies just for cross border payments. What we have today is abysmal and pathetic. We pay a lot of overhead sometimes 3% + 2.5%. I think circle or some startup is about to offer near zero cost cross border payments. We might never need a payment gateway !, per my understanding of the protocol at least.
I guess that’s also possible. I prefer my own explanation though, but then again I’m no mathematician.
Agree. I've never seen this. We pump gas with our cars running... so we can sit in AC until we hear the click. We also love drive thru anything for same reason.
>>The flipside of this is that it's an indictment of companies that hoard huge amounts of cash, like Apple. That they can't find a way spend it building future stuff is a signal that they are out of big ideas, and (in the case of Apple) have been for some time.

Wasn't this expected after Steve Jobs passed away?

The real troubles for Apple will start when they will end up exhausted milking iPhone and its ecosystem of products.

The same will happen with Amazon if Bezos goes away and with Tesla if Musk goes away. These are largely companies driven by individual visions, take them away and they are no better than any other company.
I don't understand why you think you were wrong, based on the article. Surely it depends upon your objectives. If your goal is for researchers to use the software then one license might be preferable, if your goal is commercialisation then another license might be.

In the same way that some researchers wont use software which doesn't have permissive licenses, some companies wont use software which does.

I don't get it. I also don't get why you expected license agreements to be signed and completed in a single day by commercial entities. You couldn't sign and complete a 5 minute coffee date with most company's IP staff within a single day, nevermind have licensing arrangements agreed upon.
Of course they aren't 90kWh. more like 55 and 75 in 2 options. Still that is 32GWh per year in battery production on a single factory alone. Shouldn't be hard to make it to 1TWh a year worldwide if electric vehicles to ever have anywhere like mentionable penetration.

In a way, electric car batteries have demonstrated to outlive their cars by 2x-3x (there are already several Teslas who were driven beyond median lifetime of a car and they lost just a few percent of capacity). So when i car is trashed, a battery is essentially still new. They can be bought out for say half the price and used for electricity storage.
If there is a billion electric cars in the world instead of the current billion gas powered ones, and they are on average 55kWh of which 10% is lost while they are in a car, and another 20% is lost while they are used for grid storage, on average they will have 45kWh of capacity. Grid storage takes 6 hour capacity (pumped hydro plants usually have 6 hour storage, enough to compensate any daily cycles), so 7.5kW power per battery or 7.5TW overall... the world has 6.3TW of installed generation capacity.

Probably grid storage will be a side business of car makers because all storage plant will need to use same type of battery. Maybe they'll even offer like 10% discount on a new car on a condition that the battery is theirs and to be returned when a car is scrapped.

E-book readers like Kindle are another neat trick. In my case, it increased the amount of reading sixfold, because it's just so convenient to read on an e-book reader during commute, waiting in queues, or just going down the street.

Benefits of an e-book reader over a phone or a tablet include a better screen for reading, and it being a dedicated device that doesn't distract you with notifications or the ability to start browsing random shit on the Internet.
Apple's phone comes with a little adapter to connect up a 3.5mm jack - can't charge at the same time though, but I'm pretty sure there are solutions for that, with a bit of dongle juggling - which would be not too bad a solution in a semi-permanent place like your car
Well, it's Phil Plait, the Bad Astronomer, and it's kind of his style.

It would be nice if it implemented the exact same set of command line flags as ls plus whatever else it does. That way I'd be able to use it as a replacement when I type 'ls', much as 'vi' fires up 'vim'.

Typing commands like 'ls -ltra' are already muscle memory to me and that takes effort to change.
There is a coalition of gun control people. Some of them want to ban or heavily restrict handguns but don't care much about long guns. Some of them want to ban all guns. The ones who want to ban handguns don't appear to object to banning all guns. If they do object it's not a priority and they're politically irrelevant.
Huh? There is no such thing as a physical bitcoin. 1 bitcoin will always be worth 1 bitcoin. To calculate the total bitcoin market cap you multiply the number of circulating bitcoins by the current exchange rate for your preferred currency.

"Government" in this context is not some well-defined cohesive autocratic whole.

The liberal democratic nations have separation of powers: legislature, courts, law enforcement, civil society.

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 all in a constant state of flux, there is no end-point, no "this is how it is, for all time and places and circumstances".

We should probably, at a minimum, be vocal about what we believe and support.

There is no right answer here, only opinions, and attempts at persuasive argument. That's all we have.

Agree with everything... except the idea that IE was wrong in this case. I hated Microsoft as much as anybody during the overlong era of IE6, but even back then, I had to admit that the W3C were the ones who got the box model wrong.

The funny thing is that I've never heard any rationale -- much less a convincing rationale -- for the choice in the spec.

What are these not-very-interested academics expecting? For you to agree to whatever commercial license or...?

I don't get why you'd expect academic institutions to offer you permissive licenses though, when in all likelihood you have your own complicated partnership/IP/licensing processes for industry partners. Why is it ok for them but not for you?

And what difference does it make that their research is tax-payer funded? That doesn't make it free. That means that the institute has an obligation to make returns and, academic research being somewhat open, lock down IP rights with certainty.

Looks somewhat interesting. Essentially, it just switches the primary index from "type of file" (e.g. binary, config file etc.) to "program this belongs to". That has some advantages, as humans are more likely to want to search by program. I do have some issues with the distro's execution of this idea, though - the path names are far too verbose, and I'd rather not have to use the shift key twice in every path. I'd take '/etc/foo.conf' over '/Programs/Foo/Config/Foo.conf' any day.
I felt much the same as you, until I drove a Tesla. At that moment my life was forever changed. I look at a parking lot of ICE vehicles and see nothing but horse and buggies that don't yet know that they are relics of the past. Traditional automobile companies will continue to build traditional cars and might even replace the propulsion system with an electric motor, but they will never make the jump to what Tesla has started. It is a sea change, a complete rethink of how to provide transportation to the masses and no amount of old knowledge will help. In fact, I think the longer that they have been entrenched in the old ways, the harder it will be to step out.

Sure, others will make electric vehicles (at least I hope they will), but it will probably be smaller, more focused companies. Companies such as Pagani or Elio Motors will have a much easier time making the switch. Again, it's not about replacing the ICE with an electric motor, it's a whole mindset.

Someone else in this thread mentioned cell phones before the iPhone as a good analogy and I agree. Look at where RIM and Nokia are compared to where there were in the early 2000's. They simply could not adapt to the new way of thinking about a cell phone. GM, Honda, Ford, Porsche, they are the RIM and Nokia of the car world; dead but they don't know it yet.

Sure, I'm largely aware of how colorblindness works (my father is colorblind and my friend is colorblind and I've discussed it multiple times with each). I'm really looking for whether experiencially you, or the root comment, have experienced good color schemes that work well within the constraints you impose, and whether that alters the statement slightly from "it should not default to color" to "it should not default to color unless done well".

I understand that the answer may be different for different people in somewhat non-subjective ways, since there are different types of colorblindness.
"fire" in a crowded theater when there's no fire is not the controversial scenario.

It's when you yell "fire" in a crowded theater when there is a fire, and that is outlawed.

"Hate speech" is a hecklers veto on telling the truth. On speaking truth to power. On criticizing, mocking, disagreeing, debating about ideas, people, groups, political policies, governments, special interests, religions etc.. that are off limits from scrutiny and insult.

It has no limiting principle, is not well defined, is subjective to an absurd degree, and essentially nullifies the 1st amendment.. because almost anything controversial can be labeled hate speech. As if hurt feelings or even deplorable points of view are the ultimate crimes to be legislated against.

Throughout human history, when totalitarian regimes have oppressed millions of people, there was no limit to what could have been labeled hate speech when professing views against the government.

Free exchange and debate in a free marketplace of ideas should allow anyones stupid point of view to be presented and defeated / opposed, supported, agreed with, or not.

Why people should be outlawed from hating things that they want to hate is beyond me. Professing an opinion or belief about something or someone in and of itself should not be restricted, as long as their actions or presentation of said ideas is consistent with allowing others to do the same. So bullying and intimidation and other forms of such...no.

Freedom above all else. Give me liberty or death..

One thing I always wanted to remove from `ls` is the default "human-like" display of dates and times (which `exa`, unfortunately, seems to inherit). This is IMO just annoying (and replacing time with year, if it differs from current, just plain stupid; and don't get me started about the "bright" idea of using locales there!). We have ISO-8601 for a reason. It's readable and universal. 2017-06-17 is easier to parse than "cze 17" (hello, locales).
They are taking notice but they don't have the tools to fight back. It's like the horse and buggy makers building a better carriage. Sure it's nice and has all the "features" of an automobile (wheels, passenger compartment, heater, etc.) but it's fundamentally the wrong product.
I love CSS, I wonder why it is not an universal standard used to define GUIs in other contexts like native mobile apps, or desktop apps.

Why did Android creators decided to define its own way to describe GUIs, when CSS existed and could be used for that purpose?

Every time I have tried to create a decent GUI for the desktop I get disappointed by the insane difficulty of the task, as with CSS you can make something look good in a few minutes.

Yeah, 1992 is way too early for that. Even then, it wasn't fully mainstream until advertisers felt able to drop the http://www from the url. When companies could just put coke.com at the end of their TV ads or on the can, it was as mainstream as anything.
> e-x-a is 3-4-5, which are the hardest fingers to "drum", and even harder on three different rows.

Its because of the rules of blind typeing courses that says thumb should be used only for space? If you got such a courses more than a year before and already mastered blind typeing, than stop worrying. Just use thumb for `x`.

> I've tried micro-optimizing special cases like this before, but then I have to think as much about typing as what I'm typing.

It got better with practice. Like blind typeing. All you need is to train you fingers for they do it without conscious effort of thinking. Are you play on some musical instrument? Try it, it teaches how to train your fingers.
it bears mentioning here that the vast majority of cryptocurrency investors seem to be male, and their Twitter discourse tends to be less than refined, with insults often lodged at devotees of rival currencies.

The vast majority of cryptocurrency investors probably don't even have a twitter account. This seems like a big logical jump to make.

I’m not sure how Bitstamp works for people in the US, but as a European I’ve had good experience with it in the past. I used both Bitfinex and Bitstamp before Bitfinex got hacked, and have been using Bitstamp exclusively for the last couple of years without any issues. I use SEPA for EUR withdrawals, which arrive in my bank account the same day.

The only technical issue I’ve heard about with Bitstamp is the following, which I hope got fixed, but I never have orders in the book so it’s not relevant to me: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1r4d6t/bitstamps_s... (synopsis: Bitstamp’s streaming order API revealing information about matched orders before they are matched).

To be fair, though, I’m pretty sure the limit order book was reinvented, from the ground up, for all Bitcoin exchanges established prior to 2012. It takes some time to get this right if you’re starting from scratch (the issue was reported in 2013).

This is how battery-backed RAID cards used to work. An on-card rechargeable battery could keep the write buffers alive for about 24-48 hrs to flush to disk after you restored power in your datacenter.

Now, they use super-capacitors and a flash memory device to flush the volatile RAM buffers to flash memory, then on next power up the firmware can flush the flash buffers to disk. This all happens within the RAID controller so the host OS just thinks it already got write confirmation back when the PCIe transactions finished and the data blocks landed in the controller's RAM.

I admit that "calculated" might be a stretch, considering how far off their delivery date is. Despite that, the original announcement could have been more realistic ("we might support it soon ") but it wouldn't have made nearly as many headlines.

It does seem like they're understaffed. Maybe they were hoping the fork would wither away quickly and they wouldn't need to deal with it. As one of the largest exchanges they should have better contingency planning than that.

I hope they continue to succeed because I do like Coinbase.
