1. Electric motors are easier to repair than bus sized diesel engines in trains- not the best comparison to motors and engines that have to be shrunk down and crammed into the family sedan. I'll bet the maintnence savings margin is smaller if not gone.

2. The point is it is too early to estimate batter life with such certainty based on current battery output. Would you buy a Prius with 300,000 miles on it today? I think its a little too early to make that bet before we have regular examples of EVs lasting that long.

3. Even your example shows that there will still be demand for fossil fuelled vehicles.

Point again: are ICVs going to go extinct? Most likely. Are we going to stop using oil to fuel vehicles in EIGHT YEARS? only if you're a smug Prius driver ;).

I have a Ryzen 1700 with an RX460 (it was the cheapest card from the same supplier that would drive my screens) and its been flawless out the box with the open source radeon driver.

In fact I didn't have to touch any of the graphics at all, more by chance than anything left screen was left/right screen was right (it's 50/50 and I end up with it the wrong way around 95% of the time).

I'm driving 2x2560x1440 Dell's and it's buttery smooth.

I don't game on that machine (it's a work desktop I built).

The open source radeon driver has improved massively in the last year or two.
Pardon my ignorance but why would someone clone a business that tried for years and failed? Wouldn't it be like cloning Groupon?
Better yet, if supermarkets would bundle produce and meats into ready-to-prepare packages to compete with meal delivery. The one reason why I still buy meal delivery is because I hate wasting food and figuring out what to make. I don't need 50 lbs of spinach, a whole farm's worth of chive, and I can never find serrano chilis or hoison sauce, for example.
Seconded on the RX460, that's what I put in the work machine, worked straight out the box on Fedora 26.
I could use a little help. Are 'Free' in the sense that Stallman means and 'Open Source' synonymous?

Indeed there are many engineers who earn a living by maintaining an open source code base. To their employer, the software is free to modify and customize and free from licensing, but there is still a cost (the developer's salary, etc.) to maintain it, so not free in the sense of cost.

Others develop and distribute software and rely on voluntary payment. But if there were no volunteers, would they still be able to produce and maintain that code? Some would, purely as a hobby, labor of love or mission. They'd still need a day job where they get paid for writing code...

I use tmux but not always because i can not preload my systems' env. That seems to be a design decision and thus it cannot replace my terminal.
At first glance I didn't understand how these things wouldn't tip over under load, but then the video made clear that the ballast extends 78m below the surface. The torque exerted on the turbine/generator itself is probably small compared to the stabilizing resistance provided by the ocean's mass, and the fact that it is secured to the sea floor in 3 directions. Of the two, ocean or sea-floor moorings, I wonder which provides most of the actual resistance to toppling under load.

Just a week ago I did a little side-job for a client who was previously helped by a moderately-sized web development company (100+ employees) with a WordPress site. They were too expensive for him.

There's so much I could say about the crap I found (and if someone asks I'll be happy to!), but I can summarize it by saying that it was bad even compared to the what I've come to expect from WP sites that are plugin- and WYSIWYG-layout-builder-laden, to the point of being utterly unmanageable from the WP backend interface, even on a local setup, because just exploring the ridiculous custom interface pages take ages to load.

I truly cannot imagine this code being written by anyone but a lowly, unsupervised intern at this company. And yet, based on my experience, it was probably just some 'regular' employee, unnoticed by his manager, and his manager, and the client none the wiser because how should he be able to assess competence.
Hitler was from Upper-Austria. Before moving into politics and moving to Munich, as a wanna-be art student in Vienna he was poor and rejected from academia. My personal opinion from reading about him is that he did not really like the cultural thrivings of Vienna. So after annexation of Austria, he ordered to prepare plans to transfer his Upper-Austrian hometown of Linz into a "cultural capital". See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%BChrermuseum

Predicting future human behavior is hard, but I disagree (under the assumption that self-driving cars will be as good as perfect)

Firstly, I disagree about your congestion claim. It is 'easy' to program self-driving cars to create road trains, where cars ride at speed with centimeters distance. That way, road capacity can easily quadruple. Traffic may slow down in rush hour, but traffic jams due to driver misjudgments could become a lot rarer, if not a thing from the past.

Traffic jams due to cars breaking down also might be avoidable. Cars could be programmed to push other cars out of the way, if one were to break down.

I also disagree with your claim the number of cars will go down. Reason? For many people, cars are too much of a status symbol. They also serve a bit as an extension to one's home (both psychologically and practically, for example to store a child's seat, umbrella, tennis rackets).

So why, if everybody able to afford a car today will still be able to afford one, would they do away with it?

Also, I don't see lots and lots of possibilities of decreasing the peak demand for cars. Many people still will want to go to work between 7 and 9 (all else being equal), and most cars will not be able to make two trips between suburbs and offices in a single rush hour (even without congestion, as I expect people to move further out of town in response, where gardens are larger and houses cheaper). Also, parents who can afford it will have third or fourth cars to drive their kids to school.

I'm not sure why "pair programming" is the go-to tool here. It certainly implies something different to a lot of people, myself included.

I just recently was working in an open office and the difference between daytime and evening (after everyone else left) was dramatic.
Part of the problem is that it is hard to convince people that 2 degrees farenheight difference would be all that bad. A lot of the talk is around keeping change "under 2 degrees" and a lot of the opposition is in the US.

Nobody in the US has an intuition for what a change of 2 degrees celcius feels like.

I will be flying in to SeaTac from AK on Friday night and driving down to Oregon on Saturday. We have a place to stay in Bend, but no plans beyond driving back North to the region of totality. Redmond, 15 miles north gets 38 seconds of totality. We would like to be as smack in the middle as we can manage, but it will depend largely on traffic and weather.

We will probably try and find a nice open field and hang out during the event, then head back to Bend sometime the same day.

We may also wind up heading east from Bend, then north, again depending on traffic and weather.
You can read that for yourself: https://www.erowid.org/experiences/subs/exp_Nutmeg.shtml . The Datura page is also highly recommeded for another dose of "why would anyone do this?!".
The same would apply to auto-scaling with EC2 instances though. If you were scaling resources based on a queue and made the mistake of adding something to the queue every time you finished something on the queue then you would start to use too many resources.

Without autoscaling, you would just have a queue that grows until the machine runs out of disk space. Either way, this was a problem with code and not event based scaling.
Yeah, I agree with you.

Yep and the bottleneck moves around as well, Intellij used to take an age to do a full index rebuild on large multi-language projects, on the Ryzen 1700 I have it pegs all the cores at 100% for a few seconds and is done, the bottleneck now seems to be back on the disk access.

I pigz'd a 5GB archive in <20s and the bottleneck there was the SSD again, (Samsung evo 850 but it was a lot of small files and ~60,000 PDF's (don't ask...)).

The Ryzen 1700 paired with a good SSD is a dream for development workloads.

This exactly. When Disney has nothing on Netflix, people will miss it. It is a risky move however, as Netflix is sure to launch shows targeted to the Disney demographic very shortly after Disney leaves, and they are a force to be reckoned with.
It would just be a game for a different audience, casual vs. pro-gamer. Now casual sounds nasty and makes you think of candy crush - god forbid... I mean somebody who plays as a hobby, sometimes in the evening, but doesn't train for the game. For one, I can't put in the hours required anymore with a full-time job and a family. For another, the way we used to play RTSs (~2000) on small LANs was very different. Still competitive, but somehow more relaxed. Exactly this "managing your attention" aspect was missing, so the early game was more like a building strategy game, and the late game was less paper-scissor-stone and more about outwitting your enemy.

I think SC2 is fine as it is, for what it is. I would not want to take that away from anybody in a potential version 3; but I think there is space for a more casual game in the StarCraft universe, thus "SC2.5".

That must be a really high end air cooler. My R7 1700 runs 4GHz on a 280mm AIO water cooler. Sure the 1950X dies are better binned so they need less voltage on average, but with literally 2x the core count, that's gonna be quite a lot of heat.

That's very true. That's why I provide generic usernames and everything. Because how the current providers offer service is as through a debt system. You rack up the $$$, and they tell you after the fact.

I would greatly prefer to pay up front, and have services take my credit. That way, I could control my costs directly and concisely. No surprise billing. DOS'es get stopped by no more funds- they aren't the infinite money piggybank they are now with debt.

I also understand why some clients would want a debt based system where they can expand and contract their costs. I'm cool with that, as long as you know what you're signing up for. The person in this article didn't, and surprise billing is majorly at fault here.

My solution would stem this "You owes us $20,000 by end of month", to "Your credit is exhausted after 10 minutes. Something seems wrong with this account cwhen compared to history."
