If you're wondering why JavaScript does this, it's because early versions of the language did not have exceptions. So every operation defined at the time has to return some value for every possible input, even when those inputs don't make any sense.

It's likely that the only way we could get rid of this behavior would be through some `use strict`-like opt-in semantics.

TypeScript helps a lot too: https://www.typescriptlang.org/play/#src=0%20%3E%3D%20null%3...
It depends on what your choose to define as overspending.
Like I said, none of that would have happened if Equifax had used very basic network safety principles.

This has nothing to do with Java EE.
Why not charging prople? If a lot of people use it, you might run off of money.
I'm not sure what your point is. I claim that you get back more than 50% of your money more than 50% of the time. I believe the historical data nation wide agrees with that. When you rent, you get 0% of your money back. 0% is a worse return than x% where x > 0. 0% return is a lot worse than 50%. And there are plenty of people who get better than 100%, I'm not saying it's everyone, but it's a fact that it's common.

So which would you rather have? A 50k loss on your house after 10 or 20 years, or have spent 600k renting a place in San Francisco for 10 years and having 0 dollars back?

There are good reasons to rent, but the long term economic benefits are not one of them. There's just no comparison, and bringing up taxes and fees and repair costs and whether inflation matches, none of that makes a single bit of difference.
Hopefully something actually comes of this.
Trunk batteries? Like jerry cans?
It does not take two hours to charge your car at a dedicated EV charging station. On the UK motorways my Renault Zoe charges from 0-80% in 30 minutes; of course we never charge it that much in one go whilst motorway driving, so we don't need to charge it as long.

My Tesla Model X charges in similar amounts of time, as whilst the supercharger outputs more power, the battery is bigger.
If you count entire metro areas, there are at least 50.

They don't. As I know, only Chinese EV makers use BLDC motos with permanent magnets.
There are no production EVs to my knowledge that allow a battery swap. Renault tried it with the Fluence in Israel, and discontinued that approach.
First, I don't get it, Politicians pushing Electric Vehicle for PR or really to help locals with realistic setup in place? But this being china they can literally get anything running in a very short time. While this is all good, what would happen to car manufacturers, countries import and export in terms of Crude oil. What kind of impact will this bring on China's economy?

Nissan just released a new version of the Leaf with a 150 mile range. Also, at the moment, electric vehicles are mostly second cars for commuting, most will be owned by multiple car households which have access to other cars in the situation you describe. This target is for 2045, so it's still a few generations off. On current trends, they will have the necessary range, low cost, and charging speed by that time to be able to make up the majority of the market.
Mirillis Action 2.7.0 Crack and Serial Key Free Download
Assuming that the ban actually happens, I can see a number of reasons China would do it apart from reducing CO2 emissions:

- Many Chinese cities have terrible air quality that ICE vehicle growth would make worse.

- China dominates world PV manufacturing and is pretty strong in wind equipment, but electricity storage will be critical to long term high-penetration uptake of renewables. China still lags other countries in advanced battery production. This would accelerate the development of domestic expertise and scale in battery manufacturing.

- China can supply far less of its own petroleum from domestic sources than the US can. The faster it electrifies transportation, the less dependent it becomes on foreign oil.

- It looks like the rest of the world wants to (eventually) electrify automobile transportation too. Chinese dreams of building globally competitive export cars could detour into more years of mastering advanced internal combustion just as every global brand is starting to develop electric models... or leapfrog straight to electric, where the global competition is less entrenched.
> Can you comment any why kubo might be preferable to something like kops?

I'm unqualified to give a fair comparison, as I'm only skim-the-website familiar with kops. BOSH comes up much more frequently in my work. Most teams working on Cloud Foundry use it in some way, even if only to manage Concourse.

The main advantage that BOSH has over any of the others is maturity and production experience with large, stateful, distributed systems (first release was in 2010). It got the original abstractions right in a way that the alternatives of the time didn't. Chef et al are pet-builders, they excel in wrangling a single server into the target state you want.

BOSH instead says: why do you care about single servers? You're building a distributed system. If components drift or break, replace them with a clean image which was built from source.

As an example of production use, at Pivotal we use it to manage PWS. The Cloudops team use BOSH to roll out changes to a system running 10s of thousands of apps from thousands of users and companies.

In general, unless we land on a bug in the code rolled out, nobody ever notices. When we do have a bug, we can roll it back pretty easily.

BOSH isn't constrained to deploying Kubernetes. It was originally developed for Cloud Foundry and since then people have packaged up all manner of systems for it. We support some ourselves. For example, we have releases for RabbitMQ, MySQL and so on.

These can get used by on-demand service brokers too. Say an app developer wants a private RabbitMQ cluster. They tell the service broker to create a service, it has BOSH setup and monitor a brand new cluster, when it's done the dev can bind it to their app with a single command. Bing bang boom, totally self-service services. Nobody needs to fill out a risk form, file a ticket or pester their inside connection in ops.

One last advantage for Kubo and BOSH generally is that Google has assigned fulltime Googlers to both of them in multiple locations, working in pairs alongside Pivots. We've also become closely engaged with Google's new CRE program and it's been a really great learning experience for us.

I charge my i3 at home right now and it's feasible. European AC plugs have 220V and can supply up to 16A before melting the socket. That is 3.5kwh charging. 33kwh battery in i3 can be charged in around 10 hours from zero which provides around 200km (~130 miles) of comfortable driving. More if you go for economy.

Tealas have much larger batteries though.
This seems extremely superficial. :/

Durn whippersnappers, when I started developing for the web Apple didn't even have a web browser. Personally, I dev on a Mac and use and test with Safari, Firefox, and Chrome and to be fair they're all great.

I can deal with little CSS issues but what Safari really needs is Service Worker support.
They're often complimentary, for example using Vagrant to spin up multiple VMs to run a Docker swarm mode cluster.

Vagrant is also great for learning about clustering technology. In minutes you can have dozens of VMs running on a single machine.

That said if you don't have specific OS requirements, then http://labs.play-with-docker.com/ works well for simulating a multitude of machines.

Both Docker and Vagrant rock for the same reason: image distribution. You don't have to know anything about building a VM or container image to be able to benefit from the tools.

Of course they both make it a breeze to manage the respective runtime environment too.

So in my mind Vagrant is to VMs what Docker is to Containers. Of course the use cases overlap, nonetheless they both are indispensable tools.
Ask HN: Offline Text-To-Speech/Speech-To-Text Frameworks for Raspberry-Pi
Hi,
Based on your experience, what's the best way to enable a natural way to read text using RPI, and transcribe speech commands on RPI. I tried most of some of the open source frameworks (Jasper, eSpeak, .. etc) but they don't feel natural. I tried also Watson, but the relying on the cloud is not really an optimal solution.

What are your recommendations ?
If you haven't seen it already, start with Feynman's appendix to the report on the Challenger disaster: (https://science.ksc.nasa.gov/shuttle/missions/51-l/docs/roge...). Pretty much any of the reports put out by the NTSB would fit the bill. They do a lot of what I like to call 'full-stack debugging' of engineering (both of products and culture), where the stack spans all the way from material science to management science. It's rarely the case that there's a simple mechanical engineering explanation for the big failures that they investigate. It's the confluence of multiple engineering and cultural failures that causes catastrophes.

For a better look at the politics of investigations, try this article on the Columbia disaster, which was on the front page here earlier this week: (https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2003/11/columbi...).

Alternatively, since you mentioned the blackout,
there's a lot to learn from analyzing the government response to Katrina, say, something like (https://www.amazon.com/Disaster-Hurricane-Katrina-Homeland-S...).

> (like the UK+France ban on Diesel cars)

Its worth noting this is a ban on petrol as well as diesel cars. Modern diesel cars are similar in pollution to modern petrol cars (they produce less CO2 but more NOx). In any case it doesnt come in til 2040
Yeah that actually makes it irrelevant. The concern of people being impacted is about biases. If everyone is impacted the bias is no different than the base concept of peer justice in the first place.
The nice thing is that there's a lot less regulatory red tape (at least here in the US; China might be different) around putting in a charging station v. putting in a gas pump. Any commercial property owner can install EV chargers in some or all of the property's parking spaces (perhaps with dedicated EV-only spaces, like how some businesses already have spaces reserved for "low-emission" vehicles), and EV owners can install chargers in their own homes as well.

If everywhere you ever want to go has a charger in every parking spot, then suddenly - I reckon - electric vehicles will end up being way more convenient than ICE vehicles on that particular point (which is the only significant pain point besides high price nowadays).

> Having said that, definitely keep up on the vulnerabilities of software you use. It's hard though, especially when you're relying on a great deal of dependencies. A company the size of Equifax should have had a team dedicated to this. A team. It doesn't seem like they had anyone who knew anything about basic security at all.

If you don't have a full team for this, another strategy is to rely on a vendor, and try to obtain as many dependencies as possible from this vendor. Of course, you still need a process for updating the vendor-supplied components as quickly as possible.

We have the technology to build vastly superior replacements right now. It's mostly network effect requirements that make this extremely challenging/slow to implement.

An example of something we could do is cryptographically authenticated web-of-trust creditworthiness estimation, with techniques like proof of burn and selective trust anchoring used to establish terminal nodes in the unrolled trust DAG. This sort of thing would allow for pseudonymous, automated determination of trust without the extreme security and privacy risks posed by centralized identity stores like the credit bureaus.

> A series of studies by Tsinghua University, whose alumni includes the incumbent president, showed electric vehicles charged in China produce two to five times as much particulate matter and chemicals that contribute to smog versus gas-engine cars. Hybrid vehicles fare little better.

Producing particulate matter 50 miles away from a city is not remotely the same as producing it 2ft from a pavement. I'm not sure about smog, though, is the effect regional or local?

The down votes are likely for trying to invoke an ad hominem argument. No matter someone's credentials, it's still a logical fallacy and something to be avoided. If he is an authority on the subject, it should show through in his comments. I'm sure he's a very smart and knowledgable person. But there are a lot of smart and knowledgable people here and by invoking his credentials, he's presuming that the people he's talking to are less knowledgable, intelligent or entitled to their opinions. It's insulting and he's earned his downs.

It's not that there shouldn't be rich people, the question is how many and by how much. Obviously on some level we have finite resources.

Maybe it's crazy, but I had this idea that perhaps some reasonable limit could be determined mathematically, say, the income of a given top ratio should not exceed the income of the same bottom ratio by the square root of said ratio (e.g. the top 10% should not make more than 3.16 times more than the bottom 10%).

>The admins of said system requested that he not talk about non-official use of the ARPAnet in his BYTE column (so that the government people funding the network, not ask "why does this scifi writer have access to these systems?").

I get all that -- I even quoted where they suggested the non-military it should be kept from the military guys.

What I say is that not having it kept

>How is that not being a huge jerk?

First, those people weren't the creators and payers of ARPAnet. The US government and the "military guys" were. So he wasn't "their guest" to begin with.

They just administered it. The admins of a system are not owners -- nor are their pals who they let in covertly.

Second, (and this holds whether you are a guest or not) if you're invited somewhere and see guys keeping a good thing to themselves and not wanting it to get noticed by the masses, you're not a jerk to dismiss their "radio silence" rule, and tell others about it.

They're the jerks for being silent about it (even if that was just out of fear from having it shut down).

Clearly the ARPAnet needed to open up to more people -- and eventually get to something like the internet.

Keeping silent about the "non-official use" because you are lucky to be in would be cowardly and selfish (I'm in, screw the masses, they don't have to know such a thing exists and people could potentially get join if we opened it up).
