To be fair I wasn’t clear, the article I think implies civilian waste from nuclear energy as opposed to weapons.
I was thinking that accelerometers would make sense for counting curves. Then again, maybe they wanted to detect the transition from corner entry to corner exit, and apply the funky extra motors precisely there.
Yes, but you have to make new bills to replace old bills.
You can't buy a pizza with gold. You can with cash. BTC is trying to do both, and is failing as a store of value right now due to volatility though that may change.
Oh for sure. This ad provider uses plaintext in other apps as well, definitely not good.

Ok, you are right. In an environment where everything is measured and controlled like F1 a driver still can cross the limits. That's what is really weird about Alonso.
You can call it ad hominem and poisoning the well all day, and it is, but at the end of the day this dude backs up everything he says by linking to himself and doesn't even begin to talk about the biggest barrier to new plants (money). I can't figure out exactly where he works but the whole article smells fishy to me.

Agriculture and forestry is listed as the second largest sector with 24% of GHG emissions, second to energy production at 25% so I'm not sure where you're getting that information in your second link.

Animal agriculture is a huge drain on resources and the environment. There's clear cutting of the Amazon for cattle feed and grazing. Cows and cattle emit huge amounts of methane, many times more potent in climate change than CO2. Nearly a quarter of ice free land in the world is dedicated to animal ag.

Some estimates put 20 kg of grain for a single kg of beef. That is not efficient.

Yes every human activity uses energy. Does that mean we shouldn't try be consious in limiting our consumption and be damage we inflict on others?
You should generate your own electricity too! Sarcasm aside, every client will accept "Amazon is down, millions of programmers are affected". And then I get to head to the pub while the only finger you can point is at yourself. And then cost. I don't know your hourly rate, but an hour of fixing something myself pays for a year of most services out there.
Or, you know, the definition of an empirical observation. Which of the two, we will never know!

Besides, I find fallacies useful. In real life it is often beneficial (to the point of survival) to depend on some fallacy or another for course correction or quick decision making, and the naive "avoid fallacies at all costs" believer would end hurt more often than not.

In lots of cases, who says something is more important that what they say -- like when you don't have all the information on something, and don't have access or any way to check the numbers and run the tally by yourself, but are relying on information that people who have huge interests (and people who work for them) control.

If I recall correctly, one theory as to why hand written notes are better is because they're slower, forcing you to get to the core of the professor's lecture. So in other words, exactly the same reason LaTeX notes worked for you.
Why is it a bad stat? Is having to confirm all transactions in all prior blocks not a direct result of a transaction?
Why is the cumulative value relevant? I can see how there is a perceived value there but if the transaction didn’t happen it wouldn’t have been needed?

"One thing that bit me when I was a complete n00b: assigning registers from within more than a single always block. On my simulator (at the time) it worked perfectly but the synthesis tool silently ignored one of the blocks."

It's tool dependent but I believe you should see a warning that two drivers are assigned to the same net.

This is probably where I am guessing you mistakenly thought you were creating a register in Verilog with the keyword "reg". Synthesis tools don't work like that and haven't for quite a while.

Taken from https://blogs.mentor.com/verificationhorizons/blog/2013/05/0... :

"Initially, Verilog used the keyword reg to declare variables representing sequential hardware registers. Eventually, synthesis tools began to use reg to represent both sequential and combinational hardware as shown above and the Verilog documentation was changed to say that reg is just what is used to declare a variable. SystemVerilog renamed reg to logic to avoid confusion with a register – it is just a data type (specifically reg is a 1-bit, 4-state data type). However people get confused because of all the old material that refers to reg."

A lot of people here on HN seem to be self taught and not keeping up with tool and language developments. If you use tools and techniques from the 90s, don't expect wonderful results.
I have yet to do anything on my webapp that uses a JS framework (the minimal interactivity is raw JS and at most a touch of jQuery) precisely because I've yet to see a framework that I was somewhat confident would be relatively stable over the long term, say 10 years?

Something like "COBOL for the web" would be ideal. But if I were starting now I wouldn't choose Angular 1.x, would I? Any recommendations.
The claim that no one has ever died from nuclear waste also sounds suspect.

That's an unreasonable standard to hold anyone to. Can you imagine what the news stories would look like if this horrific incident ( http://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/investigation-cont... ) had involved nuclear waste instead of plain old slag? Yet it's safe to say you've never even heard of it.

This double standard kills people every day. Over and over, nuclear power projects have been shut down for being "scary" and "dangerous" while new coal plants were built in their place. As a result we have thousands of premature deaths and disabilities that don't make the news because they're not dramatic enough. These deaths don't happen in reactor vaults or control rooms, they happen quietly in ICUs and nursing homes and cancer wards... and sometimes not so quietly in coal plants.

As for nuclear waste, put it in Antarctica.
That is not what your link says at all. The second largest category is animal agriculture and forestry at 24% of global GHG emissions, the largest is power at 25%.

https://alumni.stanford.edu/get/page/magazine/article/?artic...

Animal agriculture is extremely destructive. Forestry being in that category, one of the biggest causes of deforestation is expansion of cattle grazing and feed lands, especially in the Amazon.
Why the gas limitation? That seems odd.
Depends on the company too. A lot of the time this sort of planning requires driving from employees, but in most natural disaster scenarios what happens to the employer is the least of their concerns. The type of person who does plan for things like this is likely buying tinned food and bottled water, not thinking about being able to log in to work remotely.

The other thing is, it simply doesn't matter for most companies. They'll be out of commission for a week anyway because most of their employees are. There's no point have their online storefront online while the warehouse is have wheelbarrows of mud wheeled out.

As long as the data is backed up and recoverable, that's enough for most.

Possibly, but this is heading into seriously DRM territory. one would need to be running the app in some kind of secure enclave that could attest to the authenticity of the app (e.g. via SGX on Intel). There's something a bit unsavoury about saying that "only truly official signed apps are allowed to participate in this open network", and it gives a huge amount of power to those responsible for the secure enclave/trusted computing stuff. (There's also the approach that djb mentions in https://twitter.com/hashbreaker/status/732912508089032706)

It's possible that just relying on social mechanisms may be enough to discourage people from running known evil apps (similar to educating users not to install malware today, or do trusted operations with cybercafe computers, or whatever). Effectively, the verification process when going and explicitly trusting a new device needs to explicitly prompt the user to consider where on earth this app came from, and if it should be trusted.

The only alternative is really DRM, which just feels wrong.
An insect's "thinking" consists mostly of following instincts and some acquired reflexes. There's (much, much) more to the human thinking than that, and there are a few levels of consciousness in between.
It sounds as if the computer knows because of throttle though, which is rudimentary, and likely purposefully rudimentary to steer around rules about GPS/track mapping?

The article says that Bitcoin could switch to proof-of-stake. Can it really do that and stay Bitcoin? I'm sure it would require at least blockchain split...
The reliance on "major throttle" to determine track position seems strange, especially when you consider unknown variables are possible.

For example, if a marshall flags a yellow, you might pull off the throttle at an unexpected location.

Same as when racing - if another car breaks (for whatever reason, including crashing) - your "inputs" are going to be very different, so this could easily trick the computer into thinking it is not in the right position?
The how is easy to explain with just the name of an implementation/fork: Bitcoin Cash.

The reason it has not happened for original Bitcoin is internal politics. If the number of transactions are limited then they are more profitable.
The engines are turbocharged, not supercharged.
I think this is very incorrect.

Companies are not not building for the student. It may very well be true that companies can be guided by other factors (businesses do need money to run), but it's not that they are not looking at students experience' when writing, creating, or publishing content- which at the heart of it is meant to get students to learn and engage.
Whether it is more expensive or not is irrelevant. If a majority of the network (either in hashing power or number of tokens) decides to collude and start modifying network states for their own benefit then they will ultimately succeed. You argue that in a PoW system rewriting older blocks is more difficult than in a PoS system but that doesn't matter, because when a majority of the network becomes hostile and starts blocking all of your transaction attempts then the value of your coins immediately goes to zero. In a PoW system the records of your older transactions might be around forever but that's little more than damage control.

In such an adversarial environment proof of stake even has advantages over proof of work. If in a proof of work system a majority of the network starts to double spend or censor transactions, what can you do? You are essentially powerless because any fork (that tries to fix their malicious blocks) can be quickly taken over by the colluding miners. However in a proof of stake system you could simply fork once and destroy/invalidate all the tokens of the malicious miners.
> If humans pretend to be more intelligent than animals

Sorry, what?

Humans are only capable of conceiving of religion and destroying the planet because they are more intelligent than other animals. I'm not a religious person, but it's a bit offensive to imply humans that believe in religion are less intelligent than canines, don't you think? And animals don't destroy the planet because, for the most part, they're incapable of it - many species frequently do things that destroy their ecosystem, they are simply limited in their ability to do it rapidly. It's not as though lions have a righteous crusade against depleting all the gazelle, or beavers against destroying forests to build dens. If they could amplify their activity by leveraging the intelligence we have they would oversaturate their environments too.

Your definition of intelligence seems to be moralistic, not empirical. Moreover it's inconsistent - I'm inferring that you don't eat animals now because you believe they're intelligent, and it's cruel. What's your opinion on animals consuming other animals if they're so intelligent?

Circling back to your opening claim: dogs do not think "better" than humans for any definition of "think" that primarily involves executive reasoning skills. Our prefrontal cortex development directly contributes to our superlative intellectual ability.

Great idea. Nice to see a managed service for this.

When we used to use RabbitMQ we were never able to restart a fully loaded instance it always just seemed to hang.
Why did you chose to skip this part?

Remoter – An alternative for Android AIDL
The sport aims to be an R&D center for road going technology. So the cars are pretty much hybrids with electric power increasing and the reliance on the petrol motors decreasing.
My first question when I saw this was "How to you handle network partitions?", since RabbitMQ's partition handling is, uh, suboptimal. I read bullet points until I found this:

> With our RabbitMQ servers, you wont have to deal with message loss in the event of a network partition.

Reading on, I found that your answer to partition tolerance is to avoid the possibility of partitions by not supporting clustering at all. So that kind of rules out high availability, practically speaking. Shovel and federation are poor options.

As someone who is actively looking for highly available AMQP without message loss, I have to say that I'm not going to pay someone else for a poor solution to the problem. A managed service has to solve the hard problems to be compelling. I can run my own single instance and hope it doesn't go down at a bad time, which is all you're offering.

I know this is all very negative, and I regret that, but I'm part of your target market and you need to know what your offering looks like from my perspective. A managed service can't sidestep the difficult problems of operating their core technology.
This theory is likely at least partially correct, mostly because of what we figured out from kids born deaf. I can't remember where I read this stuff, though:

It used to be society thought a deaf person also meant you had low IQ. The signs were everywhere. It winds up that sign language was the key to not having a low IQ. It is almost like you need to learn the language of your brain.
If your web app is highly interactive and has a very complex user interface with lots of animations and small http requests you would be well served to use React, vue or this thing.

If your web app doesn't have that, which I imagine the majority do not, don't use any client side framework at all. Javascript still works, even without a framework.
So? We need more balance between a balanced life and an unbalanced one?

Seriously though, who is that guy talking to? Does anyone truly believe that having a perfectly balanced life makes one happy? Haven't they made thousands of movies about this?

Sorry for the negativity but "live a little" seems a bit of a shallow advice from the New York Times...
I can relate to what is being discussed in this article. For the last 2 years I've been focusing solely on my startup at the expense of my relationships with family and friends. So far, it's been working alright because we're still quite young and I don't feel like I'm missing out on any significant things in their lives. But now I'm at the point where I don't need to sink 16 hours 7 days a week and I'm really struggling with reevaluating my identity which has been so closely tied with just building shit constantly
It's quite annoying that he doesn't link to the data source used to create the map. It is hard to know if his data takes into account energy imports/exports or not. For example, Germany's domestic electricity production is largely based on coal and natural gas but it also imports a lot of electricity from the Nordic countries which is generated using clean hydro power.
They probably have hundreds of sensors, the FIA certainly has a lot of information that they use when assessing incidents, but this was enough to throw the entire algorithm of multiple sensors off.

So sentientism is a thing now? Just because one species thinks a little less than another it makes it okay to eat them?

(I am joking. Mostly.)
Adversarial examples don't really support the claim that deep models are just memorizing examples. If they were, they wouldn't generalize to unseen examples at all. However, the human brain is also susceptible to adversarial examples (e.g. optical illusions). Yet human brains still generalize quite well. Likewise, deep learning can both suffer from adversarial examples and generalize well.

Generalization is a multi-axis scale, not a switch: you can have more or less generalization in many different dimensions. Being terrible at adversarial examples just means that axis is weak.
It's a matter of the student's experience affecting the school's bottom line.

At best, that's happening indirectly. Which isn't good enough.
I can see his point though. From his point of view, by the time the disks arrive on his desk anything that tried to repair the damage has likely made it worse and hence his job that much harder. But of course $3-5k is sufficient money that most companies will make the first attempt themselves, especially since the alternative does not make any guarantees and will cost money either way.
>> Pretty much everyone prefers a nonstop flight—business people, especially.

Is this true? I find it so hard to sit in the plane for such a long time. I don't think flying in business class would make too much of a difference because it is still way more constrained than outside a flight.
I think Steven Novella (of Science Based Medicine, fame) summed it up pretty well:

http://theness.com/neurologicablog/index.php/john-oliver-and...

TL;DR: He did the anti bits quite well, but didn't explicitly state the pros explictitly. Which might me understandable, given the format, but he usually does state at least a few "however"'s or "but"'s, etc.

I don't think that instantly makes him a shill, FWIW.
Yeah, are inertial navigation sensors and GPS units disallowed?
Ha, your comment was my first introduction to Nim but it looks interesting so I "brew install nim" and tried your test (thanks!) with "nim c test.nim && ./test" on macOS and my results is the opposite of your: hello1 is garbled while hello2 works.

I bit of googling found the next steps "nimble install minx" but for compiling your win.nim example I had to use "nim --noMain --threads:on c -r win.nim" but the result worked. However AFAIK, there's no official way to make statically linked binaries on the latest macOS.

I used a radial menu extension in the early versions of Firefox that I thought was fantastic. I assume they don't have more widespread use because it typically depends on symbol memorization, and people are already used to long lists of things?
Correction: they're turbocharged not supercharged. For those that don't know the difference, a turbocharger is two turbines connected to eachother. One, powered by exhaust gases, spins the other, which forces air into the combustion chamber (the pressure applied is typically called "boost"). More air means more fuel can be injected while maintaining stoichiometric equilibrium. More fuel combusted means more power is produced, given equal waste due to friction etc.

A supercharger is very similar, but conceptually more simple. The turbine creating boost is instead connected mechanically to the engine's crankshaft, being driven directly by the engine.

He doesn't even describe Oliver's claims in enough detail (let alone directly quote the segment) to make it especially clear what he's taking issue with. I watched that segment, and as far as I remember Oliver was talking about the risks of containment failure if we don't proceed with a long-term solution like Yucca Mountain, not just vaguely casting aspersions on nuclear power or even nuclear waste.
This is exactly my experience. In fact, I moved from O'Caml to Haskell, but I still miss some things from O'Caml. (The most important of which is a good module language... but I think the Haskell world is getting that, eventually, via Backpack.)
That's a great question. Would this be a derivative work? I suspect the answer is yes, because in your scenario you've effectively shipped a piece of software which creates a derivative work on-the-fly. I guess it's sort of like an analogy of dynamic linking.
This is a very good point. People tend to look for more "balance" when they are unhappy with whatever their main focus is right now. The obvious example applies: people don't like their day jobs very much, and so they go around advocating more "work-life balance" to compensate for it, because they feel it is a necessary evil. It's not (at least in most cases).

If you're not happy with whatever your main focus is, you need to change it, not add more stuff to compensate.

(Of course, there are still some things that you should pay attention to apart from your main focus, like your health and family. This is not the point here).
