Right now the only long term large scale energy storage is the same process that created fossil fuels in the first place so it's debatable.

Consider, in theory we could use solar power to break the earth into little pieces and move it to a younger star. But, in practice that's simply not going to happen.

So, yes with years to possibly centuries of effort we could trap similar amounts of carbon. But, it currently seems unlikely for that to happen on any reasonable timescale without few economic reasons to do so.

Democrats gerrymander and listen to lobbyists just like republicans, but you're correct that currently this is just an issue of abuse from republicans. Democrats have everything to gain by enfranchising as much people as possible because their voter base is growing faster than the GOP and urban areas tend to have lower turnout and vote more toward Liberals. But if the tables were flipped I'm sure folks would come out saying "We Democrats need to do it for the good of the party!" If you have any doubts look at the behavior of Donna Brazile and Debbie Wasserman Schultz in the last primary election or even the push during the primary that sanders supporters were acting against the good of the party.

The way I see it, you can make a business from a ToDo app, so it's just a matter of sticking with it for a while and doing the bizdev magic.

If you want an idea, here's one: I'm looking at Cloud-based load testing based on JMeter (maybe more frameworks later) A few companies in the field, but not many. Plenty of room!
Dirty data is not as much as a problem for me than human-biased data. Dirty data engineering, like modeling, will soon be largely automated.

Let's say you are predicting store sales. You create a feature that holds the store sales of one year back. The feature works really well and you are happy with your evaluation. But you captured bias: The previous model the store used was "predict today's sales by looking at last year's sales". Store managers fitted their sales tactics to this model (when the model predicted too much sales, the store managers do their best to get rid of the surplus inventory, for instance: by adding discounts or moving the products to a more prominent spot in the store).

So in the end you end up with a model with good evaluation, but you actually have (over)fitted to previous policies/models. You have not created the best possible sales predictor. How to ever find this out, without a costly intimate deep-dive in the data and data generation processes?
The masses might need to be upset as a cost of ensuring the survival of our species. And climate change will not be resolved in 4 years.

What party has made a platform of denying climate change and enacting policies that will hasten its impact? And which party has taken paltry steps to address it despite massive resistance from their opposition?

Yes I would, again, not having a Google account does not threaten your ability to survive and you do not have a right to someone else's services and labor except under extreme special circumstances. As long as you can setup a blog and self host, you will never have a right to Google's services in my opinion. No one company will ever own all possible channels of broadcast, and your right to free speech means only you cannot be jailed or punished by the government for your views; it does not grant you a right to be serviced by broadcast medium possible. You do not, and should not ever, have a right to a Google account.

You're right in your main point that it's a massive pain, but let's talk BTC/BCC. Disclosure: I'm a novice.

BCC has "replay protection" meaning it uses a different transaction signing mechanism than BTC so that your transactions on one network cannot be "replay"ed on the other network by a malicious actor. I think people obsessing over keeping your coins in wallets with differing keys is mostly just paranoia. e.g. they want to eliminate threat vectors from their BCC wallet trying to steal BTC or that replay-protection may have bugs discovered in the future (unlikely AFAIK).

The clean computer thing is also paranoia. Some folks keep an updated Linux LiveUSB just for their transactions. You can decide for yourself it it's worth the risk.

As far as finding a new wallet, a quick Googling makes it seem that MultiBit uses BIP32 to generate keys. This is an open-source keyword based key generator that's used by various wallets, so you have a lot of options for multi-coin wallets, I'm a fan of coinomi on mobile. If you recreate your wallet using keywords there, it will show your BTC and BCC side by side.
Bootstrap Studio. There is a one-time charge. Their studio works on mac, linux, and windows. You download to your machine and don't run this from the cloud.

You can host your sites wherever you want without having to use specific vendor servers.

This is very easy to use. I don't have time to spend as a full-stack web developer, when I am already busy with other things.

Yes, decentralized exchanges (dex) are coming and I'm very hopeful.

However, the ones I have looked at / tested so far just aren't ready for primetime. Slow transaction times, lackluster user experience, no liquidity.

But those are all problems that are to be expected for what are basically beta-status projects (at best) and I am excited to see where things go from here.
>I spend a lot of my time explaining that there must first be a business objective, a key question, or hypothesis that can then be understood through data. I cannot take a haystack and find the needle that is interesting to you. And if I do find that needle, many times there are no resulting changes made to our strategy.

IMO a number of data science positions should be considered partly research positions. You are hiring somebody think critically about how to generate high value/impact from data. This includes exploring if there is a different way to think about a business problem than it has been formulated in the past. This may include defining and collecting data when you discover the existing (or non-existent) data isn't appropriate. As with any research, you'll sometimes realize the path you are on is wrong and a correction is needed.

The "find all the needles in this haystack" is a totally different worldview and throws a lot of critical thinking out the window. I think this really plays into the idea that an organization can hire a person who is going to do immediate "magic" with algorithms and zero effort beyond that. You can slice/dice and p-hack your way into a million thoughtless and useless "insights."
Oh like pure academic exercises..

DPI is a sham, most of those specialized HW (sold by pseudo IT security gurus) just assume that any VPN connection "is bad" and procced to block them, there is no way to detect a pattern on a (decently-configured) VPN, there is a reason China (the biggest investor on that this type of tech) is mandating Apple and Google to delete all the VPN apps on their stores.

Loyal customer of AIRvpn here. No complaints here
I have been pleased with their service. It wasn't much hassle to set up, particularly. Was certainly a little trickier on my linux machine.

I find the speed has almost been completely acceptable. I have had only a handful of times where it seemed sluggish and bogged down.

I know there is a some question of whether they can truly be trusted? Do they truly not keep logs? And they are US based which are all things to consider. I weighed those factors against the customer reviews, price, and simplicity of their service, and I think my choice has served me well. Their rates are dirt cheap for what seems to be a reliable service.
> You claim that there are a significant number of fraudulent votes happening.

If you mean "significant" in the sense of large, then no I did not. If you mean "significant" in the sense of meaningful, then I assert that even one illegal vote cast is significant as it disenfranchises a legitimate voter.

One group has found that between 2011 and 2017, 1852 ballots were cast by illegal aliens in Virginia.[1]

> Replace "government" by "no one", and I would agree. (I'll accept one exception, though: judges, when punishing me for some bad deed.)

No. In the U.S. which is all I care about, no one but the government can violate your right to free speech. You do not have a right to not be censored by anyone nor should you.

> But it does mean I have a right to at least one broadcast medium.

No it does not; it doesn't remotely mean any such thing.

> By the way, freedom of speech only become real when the masses got internet access.

That's nonsense. Anyone anywhere can walk out into any public area and speak to the crowd; freedom of speech does not in any way imply freedom to wide area broadcast mediums, it means only that you can't get in trouble from the authorities for holding unpopular views. If your views are popular, they will gain an audience from word of mouth alone. You never had a right to TV, or the paper, or any other medium.

Not all products are obviously counterfeit; the "distinguishable" part may come later (for instance, iPhone chargers that fail due to lacking safety internals authentic parts have)
taprun's comment was describing a competitive market "potential buyers can get huge loans at very low rates. Since buyers compete with each other, prices go up".
Which, the first or the second option? The first one entails a one-time 10 minute setup and you can leave the AWS instance running if you don't mind incurring a small ongoing EC2 fee.
It's vulnerable overall but the actual act of in person voting has very low fraud rates. Most of these things disenfranchise tons of votes while stopping few (often literally none) instances of actual fraud.

Edit: it's not that there is no fraud, it's just that there is very little and you are much more likely to change the vote by accidentally disenfranchising people than preventing fraud
Is there any benefit of Kotlin vs C# except JVM support? Why not work on a great C# to JVM compiler instead of inventing a brand new language?
Yes, its funny but I think of python itself as an exceptional good "prototyping" language. Thats not to say it can't be used in production, but I think the real power of python comes from its ability to go from 0-100 in a very short amount of time (powered by all the great python libs).

So in a sense, Anvil is valuable at its price point for just as a web prototyping service. Most new developers obsess on things like "scalability" and "MVC separation", etc and in 95% of cases their creations never ever generate enough traffic to warrant any of that. I see Anvil as a tool that would allow developers to sketch out an idea, quickly iterate features based on feedback, and when warranted, move to a full production stack.

I'm in an on-call rotation (not at AMZ) where I hardly ever get paged, and it's cold comfort. I still have to carry my laptop with me everywhere I go, make sure I have access to the Internet, make sure I don't have one too many at the bar on Saturday night, etc.

Visicalc was a landmark application and landmarks have multiple implications. On the one hand, it advanced computer capacities forward. On the other hand, it created a language of spreadsheets and of any spread-sheet-like-use of a computer and this language has been used ever since. And the thing about language is that having one language forecloses the possibility of other languages.
No but this is not a problem for me since my use-case is more avoiding MITM attacks and safely using public Wifis.

Every VPN has an endpoint, and whether that endpoint is acceptable depends on your use case.

I don't know of any online teaching material, I think this is because it is a relatively niche and under explored area of research - which is one of main reasons I continue to maintain and develop sharpneat.

What has been useful for me is just setting up experiments and seeing what happens, and observing the way things go wrong. Typically evolution will find the flaws in any fitness score (metric) that is defined, often resulting in solutions that give good scores, but only because evolution was 'cheating', or rather, exploiting the flaws in the metric. This problem comes up a lot and it is is educational to go through that process and try to think up more robust tasks and ways of measuring success on those tasks. Ideally we want metrics that are continuous, so that we can 'follow the gradient' of success rather than e.g. having a fitness score just go from zero to a perfect score in one step.

Also it's been educational seeing how networks evolve. One of the early modifications I made to NEAT was to periodically disable additive mutations (add nodes and connections), so as to strip away any redundant structure that could be slowing down evaluation of each neural net. This came from just seeing the networks grow rapidly, and not always with an fitness score gains to show for it.

In summation I don't have a good answer for you, but if you can get interested in setting up an experiment and seeing how evolution tries to solve it all by itself hen maybe you'll get the 'bug' and start to think about where the limits to this approach are, and different ways of overcoming some of the present limits. From there you might want to pick through the occasional research paper to see what others are doing - I've found the NEAT based research to be quite accessible, i.e. e.g. not requiring a a lot of maths knowledge as is the case with deep learning and the like. Although I admit I do follow that world and have had to learn quite a bit of maths to keep up - and I think that's useful to draw ideas from that area.

Hope that is of some help anyway.

The thing is, a lot of stuff (like the HP archive) does not get digitized because scanning them takes too much time and costs too much.

That's where the quick & dirty phone camera shines.

Yes, it's boring, but so is mowing the lawn.
Agreed. The most astounding part is how corporate america, government and the media changed the culture of the internet ( not just social media ) within a span of a couple of years.

The rampant censorship is something I could not have envisioned.

5 years ago, if you told me censorship would be the norm on reddit, twitter, facebook, youtube, etc. I would not have believed you. 10 years ago, if you told me anyone would support banning/stealing of domains ( daily stormer, etc ), I would not have believed you.

It is just astounding to witness the censorship powers of corporate + government + media.

The promise of the internet as an open platform for ideas/speech/etc that I grew up with in the 90s/00s has ended.

Perhaps it's the result of the centralization of the internet in the past 10 years. Hopefully the pendulum swings back towards a more decentralized version of the internet.
Thanks! Yes, we've tacked on a "currency" to clarify.
There have been exploits that attack the firmware of the USB microcontroller on your computer. Using a VM doesn’t protect against that.

A number of cards have the CVV on the same side of the card.(E.g American Express & Chase Sapphire)

Also, if one has the CC number wouldn't it be feasible to brute force the CVV. There are only 999 permutations. You would have a .1% success rate.
isn't there a perverse incentive to fork it into A', A'', A''', etc., because doing so multiplies the person's wealth.

As the article says, this worked once but don't expect it to work indefinitely. Arguably forks that allow new use cases (e.g. Bitcoin Cash is supposed to re-enable low-value transactions) create value while other forks (e.g. Ethereum Classic, Bitcoin Gold) should be more zero-sum.

what scenario creates an incentive for a fork to die once it has been created?

Looks like the death process is low exchange volume -> delisting -> zero liquidity -> zero value. https://medium.com/@EthereumRussian/why-cryptocurrencies-get...
I don't think so. The iPhone was revolutionary because suddenly you had a lot of sensors and the power to use them in creative ways. There are still sensors that could be added to devices of this price range that, coupled with new apps, would make them cool again: infrared vision, range finder, molecular scanner, etc.

Imagine pointing your camera to find an A/C leak inside the wall, or scanning fruit for their ripeness, or measuring furniture at the store to see if it fits in your house/door. Hell, it could even alert you if you have bad breath.
You mean that types should reside on different files, and be inputed by different means?

Now I get the entire programming-compiler conversation. It is interesting. I can see some potential there. Yet, I shrug when I think about all the sparse metadata that I will have to check once I discover a low level bug (there is a reason I'm not programming in Smalltalk).

Somehow the best place for all that stuff to live is right there at the source code. That means the compiler (IDE) should be editing your files, so it better have a great integration with your version control system.

I only buy from websites that control their own supply chain -- meaning they know who they are dealing with when they procured the goods, not randos from overseas.

I love Target, free shipping threshold is $35 but you get what you ordered 100% of the time. They have a good selection for most of what I buy often. You can mail back returns or take them to a store. I like Microcenter for electronics.

I also buy from brand websites directly, since they have no reason to send anything but their authentic products. Brand websites often have deals. Join the mailing lists of your favorites, a lot of them send out discount codes.
