They aren’t directly comparable. You ship a truckload of PV and once installed it keeps providing daytime power without further delivery; you ship a battery to somwhere with PV and that power can now be made in the day and used at night, every day/night for a few years.

Even without batteries, shipping PV will at least keep the freezers cold (and food fresh).

Just joined out of curiosity (https://mstd.tokyo/@scott) and I'm pretty impressed by how smoothly things have gone... but I'm also a bit disappointed by how it handles federation.

If I try searching for tags or topics, I generally come up with zero results -- I'm never quite sure if it's because they don't exist on the instance I joined on or whether there just aren't enough users to have that tag/topic out there in the federation.

Discoverability seems very, very low out of the box and that seems like the one thing that would keep me from staying on Mastodon.

Another issue I ran into was that after I tooted a few times, I started wondering if I'd chosen a "bad" server (low activity) and started looking for ways to move my account to another server -- it feels like a waste to go and start up another account and leave my toots behind. :/

I really wish it were possible to just browse other instances' public feeds. For example, I'd love to see some stuff from mastodon.art, but I can't yet figure out a way to just browse over there short of making another account.
They (and my lab) use cell lines for mechanistic studies, but the animal model is key. You describe a syngeneic model which is different of course.
You're being unfair to the poor guy. It's not as if those quotations are without context and basis. It's also not as if he doesn't have a whole raft of other recorded quotations which provide evidence for his humility. Consider, for example,

> A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving...

The dice quote makes more sense when you consider Einstein's personal philosophy, which had led him to discover relativity and aspects of QM. He strongly believed that once you uncover nature's secrets, not only do you understand the universe more, but you see why nothing else could possibly have been the case. Quantum mechanics as it was formulated/interpreted in his time violated this principle, thus he was motivated to look for the deeper secret. We're still arguing whether there's something deeper to this day. The particular type of model Einstein was exploring may have been dismissed, but you cannot fault his motivation - all physicists need one.

Interesting. Do you by any chance know of a situation like this where the perp actually did this?

I'm thinking that especially if the consequences are likely to be 'mild', there's really no reason to expect anything less from Scoble than admitting his acts to the police and see what happens.

I mean, it might be the right thing to do anyways, but if the risks are relatively low, even 'fear' isn't really much of an excuse.

Basically, is there any good reason for 'the public' not to set a precedent by demanding he report himself to the police?

You sure can, especially if they're making the party uncomfortable and unpleasant for the rest of your guests. Their crime is not so much dressing like a Nazi, but intentionally antagonizing other people for no reason. If it wasn't intentional, they should note the reactions, take other people into consideration, and either leave or correct their behavior. Why don't other people have to consider the Nazi-dresser's feelings? Well, they do. They'll consider them for 10 seconds, realize there is no legitimate reason to be dressed like that, and rightfully suspect bad intentions.

I believe that Trump lies in order to get the media to cover the topic he's talking about.

He feeds them with some juicy factual error they can jump up and down on, along with some controversial topic they'd rather not cover.

It works to a certain degree. It also sometimes backfires, "Violence on many sides" about Charlottesville was his attempt to get them to talk about Antifa, IMO, but was spun as he was defending white supremacy.

The problem is that it's become so cliche that he lies, it's worn out its usefulness. It worked in the election, but now everyone is annoyed, including his supporters. It's hard to align yourself with someone who is beaten up so badly every day, regardless if he's hurting his opponents or not.
And that is because of the journals having limits.

Maybe once. But if that's a repeating problem that the legal system can't solve, it'd be a symptom of something so fundamentally broken it really makes police behaviour the least of our problems.
PINs are a lot more dubious. If you get fraud on your account that is verified by PIN, then you will have an impossible time charging it back in the case of fraud. So PINs are safer for merchants and for credit card companies, but less safe for consumers if there ever is fraud. It's the exact opposite of what you would expect.

This is probably true of everyone as they age, but the demographic bubble of the baby boom gives them unusual political power to fight change. If the population were growing more the young would just outvote them. Our political system is just older than it has ever been.
It really depends on the specific site. The gold standard is to open up the network tab of your browser's debugger to dig into the runPageSpeed API call that gets used behind the scenes. Specifically, dig down to .formattedResults.ruleResults and look at the ruleImpact of each category. It's not an exact correspondence to points taken off of a score out of 100, but it's roughly proportional. That is, if you have a rule with a ruleImpact of 20 and another of a ruleImpact of 10, fixing the ruleImpact of 20 will have twice as good of a positive effect on your overall score.
Most vulnerabilities are listed as: "allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user". So it would seem that Edge is good at preventing elevated privileges.

However, I don't care at all about elevated privileges. If a bug in my browser allows code executing, that means that code is executing with my privileges. So all my data is already at risk. And my data is basically the only thing that's important. Becoming part of a botnet or the propagator of virusses is annoying at worst. Ransomware or my data leaking out is infinitely worse.

And Edge seems to exceptionally horrible at preventing code execution. Perhaps their security team should focus on that for a bit.

Safety isn't everything you know. The lowest scoring component (Safety Assist for stuff like speed assistance systems, lane support systems etc...) is basically about removing control from the driver and considering the target demographic for the Mustang, it makes not having them make sense.

They were just seriously bad cars with a poor reputation and worse resale value.

It got to the stage where when buying cars, people I knew would check the VINs to ensure that they were not made in Australia.

Fords made in Australia were particularly bad. Toyotas made in Australia were not up to the standards of the Japanese built Toyotas, but were far better than the pieces of rubbish turned out by the Australian subsidaries of American firms.

Your neighbour is suspected of brutally murdering their parents in his backyard. One Sunday afternoon, you maw their lawn along with yours because they're really old and it really isn't that much work once you're at it anyway.

In the process, you destroy the evidence exonerating them, i. e. footprints of shoes much smaller than theirs.

Obstruction of justice? Nope.

Now imagine the same thing happened. Except that this time, you include their lawn not just because you always do, but to get them thrown in jail. You're really tired of doing all these chores for them, and it's time for new neighbours.

Obstruction of justice? Yep.

Intend matters.
You make a very valid and telling point early on when you point out that in NYC, a person in a job painting people's nails (Nail Technician/Cosmetologist) requires around 1000 hours of training, yet a software developer designing software that can put people in jail (or worse) requires no formal training or qualification at all!

Disclaimer - I mean no disrespect to Nail Technicians.
If you pick a common 4-digit PIN, there are 10 000 possibilities for your PIN code. Given that your card will block after 3 incorrect tries, the probability that a thief will correctly guess your PIN code is ~0.03%. If you pick a 5- or 6-digit PIN, that probability is 0 for all intents and purposes, since it's extremely likely that the thief will assume a 4-digit PIN.

Even more important than the legal context, is the business case. Fraud for modern financial institutions is like deaths caused by self-driving cars.

I don't know about papers in this direction. Would be a fun read. A bit like the effect of voluntary disclosure of evaded taxes like in this working paper: https://www.econstor.eu/bitstream/10419/110841/1/cesifo_wp53.... Is the net effect beneficial or does it lead to more tax evasion?

I get that you don't like active safety, but did you even read the part about the poor structural integrity aka crashworthiness of the car? That's why I wrote "shit engineering".

There are plenty of cars that are fun to drive and safe.
Design can certainly be beautiful. What I was trying to articulate (unsuccessfully, as usual) is people describing things as beautiful in an objective way. Ie, as if certain objects or products are impervious to changing trends and tastes. Particularly in tech these days, it feels like I'm always seeing marketing material around "creating beautiful layouts" or "beautiful products." Just an old man gripe of mine.
Perhaps I am overly generous in assuming that anyone talking about getting rid of cars is partaking in rhetorical hyperbole, and moreso making the point that we might be moving away from 2-3 cars for every household in the burbs, and approaching/trending towards 1-2 overall.

Hello hackers,

I am looking to compile a list of toys that challenge, stimulate and engage our little friends.

Whilst outdoors activities are to be a big part of a child's life, I believe that those days spent in house are better spent on activities their minds active and always curious to solve problems, and power their imagination.

I think a lot will depend on maintenance and staff costs. If those costs are kept low then there will be little marginal cost per additional mile travelled. In that scenario it would make sense to keep the tunnels as heavily utilised as possible by heavily cutting prices when traffic is low. Perhaps we will see freight running at night or even trash being moved out of cities. Having a low cost option could create new opportunities that have not been considered yet and help pay the bills. Running constant traffic twenty four hours per day changes things.
