I'm one of the 90s kids who watched this series. I'd not realized that there'd been executive pressure to make the show into another 20 minute toy commercial -- I never got that vibe from watching it. So, IMO, they successfully resisted that pressure, which I'm glad of.

I was only half-aware of it at the time, but I absolutely loved the fact that it wasn't overly silly, wacky or talking down to me. It offered serious, mature storytelling with relatable characters, and a longer serialized plot. I couldn't quite articulate those qualities at my young age, but at some level, I felt their lack in other cartoons. Even if I couldn't explain why, I knew what I was watching was good.

In that way, it reminds me of another cartoon from the early 90s, DiC's Saturday morning version of Sonic the Hedgehog (dubbed "SatAM" by fans the to distinguish it from the other Sonic cartoon which ran concurrently on weekdays). SatAM also tried it's hand at a darker setting, more mature story telling, and in its second season, a longer serialized plot. And again, I recognized quality and lapped it up. Not to say it was without flaws; quality zig-zagged through the show's run. But like X-men, it was neither infantilizing or preachy, and I loved it for that.

Now, cartoons are no longer _only_ for young children; take for example Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block, or South Park. But I think there still should be some kids cartoons that attempt serious storytelling alongside the comedic ones. Not having kids, I've not been closely following kids cartoons. Are there any of that latter type presently?
That's why SolarCity PPA is so popular - the whole idea is that they shift most of your electricity consumption back into the 1s tier. Probably still not enough for mining though unless you can make a deal where you get way over regular capacity in solar for the same price.
Tax avoidance is the moral equivalent of draft dodging. Dodgers don't participate in the war their wealthy parents started.

Maybe some day the spaceship catches fire and burns to the ground with everyone trapped inside, because the fire dept was ironically unfunded due to lack of tax revenue. I won't feel sorry for them if that happens, as they will have deserved it.
5. Don't interrupt a developer unless the building is on fire

Yes, please don't !
Consider the following (traditional) program:

x = raw_input()
x *= 2
assert x >= 10

Now we can ask the question: "Assuming the assertion passed, what can we say about x?" In this simple example, we know that x >= 5, but in general the possible values of x may be much more complicated.

This is the kind of question probablistic programming is designed to answer, except instead of being an arbitrary, unknown value, x is specified as some distribution (say Gaussian). Then, the question becomes, "What is the posterior distribution of x, assuming all of the assertions pass?" In other words, figure out how likely different choices of x were, taking into account both the prior (i.e., that x is Gaussian) and the new information from the assertions.

For a simple example of why this is useful, suppose we have a program that generates random images (this is our prior). We also have some real photographs. We can assert that the random image generator should have a pretty good change of generating the real photographs. Then, the probablistic program "execution" will try and compute a new generator that creates more realistic images.
I can only speak about right now - not the future. I've already made more than my investment so not a big deal for me.
Persecution of minorities, due to ethnicity or sexual orientation, is becoming particularly strong in modern day United States.

This relates to this article because it talks about how trans people were intentionally "kept safe".

This is excellent. I can't believe I've never heard of Texas Monthly before.

How do you deal with the arbitary actions of authority figures against you for being different? Get a piece of paper from a different authority figure that says actually this is fine.
Check out electricity prices in SF. Especially the top tier. You probably would be better off burning small-denomination bills for heating. Unless of course you tricked your landlord into covering electricity costs, in which case mine away until police comes to evict you :)
I made it for $6k, and the glory days of mining are over, but for some time I was making $100 a day mining. That is no longer the case. I actually bought 14 1070s, but I'm using one now for gaming haha - I figured I earned it. But I bought my cards when they were $300 not $500 back at the start of the year.

I make no claims about what happens in the future though.

When I looked into these units, the potential repair costs over time led me to choose a highly insulated electric (Rheem Marathon series). The major parts like the compressor were not available through Grainger or even an HVAC supply store, nor could I get my hands on a retail parts price list. So I had concerns over vendor lock-in, and the initial capital premium would get vastly inflated in opex costs over time.

Has anyone had 7+ years experience with these, and if so, can you please share your ownership experience and the model & brand you used?
Actually, Steve Jobs emphasised a few times that the reason why Apple was successful is because of the software.

I sort of want a file-by-file language upgrade like Objective-C seems to have. For instance, if you add something like “nullable” to an Objective-C header, then the compiler will require similar directives throughout the file; otherwise, it doesn’t.

C++ needs a new strict set of rules that (ideally for individual files, to start) prohibits some set of older/deprecated features from even compiling. That way, you know where the language is going and you adapt.
Maybe, but the current state of VR makes it clumsy to use in some scenarios. I expect this to go away with time and further development, but right now there's a gap to fill. One step at a time allows us to go far.

Yeah the S8 and S8 Plus had (has?) significant top/side edge colour shift.

(Speaking as the owner of the Plus, who has his first replaced and the second is somewhat better but not perfect. Wife's S8 is also affected but she doesn't see it or doesn't care. I would still take that slight imperfection over the horrid notch though).
The axiom is that people will sit around debating which is the correct axiom on tech boards ad infinitum.
yes, and i got good feedback. actually from 3 people one of which is my boss who basically said nice idea but good luck (no programming experience) and 2 friends who said they were down to program but wont really do anything until i get some groundwork started.
It's almost hard not to make that joke, horizon.io just lends itself to that so readily.
I see it as the reverse. Apple is definitely a hardware company that makes a solid OS and generally makes mediocre software outside of that
I think it's for a few reasons. Many of us are interested in biographies and what made famous people the way they are. Others would like to master programming, computer science, or some other field and look for how to achieve it. Still others are trying to figure out how to quit HN without losing any of the benefits. Finally, some users fall into all of these groups. :)
Part of the problem is the interview process.

So so so many "senior engineers" get hired because they can traverse trees with their eyes closed but when it comes to writing solid designs and the desire to dig deep, they fall short.

There was a time when senior engineers could wrench open a compiler to figure things out. Now, these guys are useless without some rockstars maintaining the underlying infra.

Large marine diesels such as used by container ships do need to follow a procedure to change out of the cruise rpm. I don't know how much that can be skipped/abbreviated in case of an impending collision, but I do know that generally it takes more than just someone on the bridge changing a control setting.

Okay, but now you just have some steam and heat floating around.

It's gonna dissipate pretty quickly, not a great way to store power for the medium-long term. Hydrogen separated from Oxygen is where the useful potential energy difference is.

The idea behind hydrogen fuel cell batteries is that you spend your cheap clean renewable energy to split H2O slowly when energy is available, and burn the hydrogen when you need bursts of power. If you burn the hydrogen right away, you're just un-doing the water-splitting reaction and you won't have anything to use for power when the cheap clean renewable energy is not available, like during the night for solar power.

I think that the usual way to get energy back out of the hydrogen is just to burn it and let the hot pressurized gas power a steam turbine, but don't quote me on that. Or try it at home; scalding and flash burns are good things to avoid.

Rianna Rennix & Nathan J. Robinson, thank you from the bottom of my politically-incorrect heart. This essay expresses exactly how I feel about post-war architecture. Absolutely brilliant.

I lived and worked in Silicon Valley for around 22 years. The climate is undeniably very pleasant, but the architecture is strictly industrial-park modern. Almost no imagination or beauty, only vast expanses of ugly office parks and tract housing.
>>> I don't know how true this is, but I've heard that the Samsung OLED screen on the iPhone X is significantly better than the ones Samsung puts on it's flagship phones

I can't believe that. I just can't.

All iPhone X reviews mention the screen tech difference, all of them say how they don't notice a difference.
What types of diversity can you have amongst racially, socially, and economically homogenous people? What are you talking about? What is your grand, open-minded idea that ignores what actual diversity is?
Working remotely you can minimize these interruptions by turning off notifications. Which in my experience is common. And bad etiquette to interrupt (buzzing channels) unless it’s urgent.

> They're not direct driving the screw with steam power from the reactor heat-exchange, surely.

Yes, they are, for the simple reason that it's more efficient. This is beginning to give way to a series electrical design, but that's for reasons of increased stealth and other concerns, at the cost of overall thermodynamic efficiency.

On all existing nuclear carriers steam is used for the catapults (and this is much more demanding than many people are aware of). The Ford class is developing electromagnetic catapults, which are also proving to be demanding to perfect.
You can't install any system apps without root permissions, and at this point you can do anything, so why bother?

Sure we can. We have the capability to totally annihilate as much of North Korea as we need in order to prevent a counter attack. The question is if we are willing to do it, and kill millions of North Korean civilians. Trump is sure trying to convince the North Koreans that he is.

Bad managers IMO. Since their work should be minimize interruptions and facilitate communication inside and across teams.
Prezto for zsh has pretty good command line completion and a lot of plugins which are either on by default or available for you to flip the switch on. It's taught me some nifty bits of git, gpg and some others. https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto

I personally prefer working on a command line because it's _more_ discoverable to me than most gui's. This did take some getting used to though. The approach is different.

The worry over making dangerous mistakes is understandable. That said I have made very few big ones after a bit of learning, and it has also helped me _avoid_ making dangerous mistakes by facilitating the automation of otherwise delicate or involved tasks which would be unpleasant to click and type through.

Why we pretend to know things, explained by a cognitive scientist
My current approach is to be liberal with redundancy as I begin a prototype and then gradually replace it with dependencies as my code matures. This approach seems most realistic to me and I have used it to much success.

Ill-formed or too many dependencies seriously constrain speed of development and much worse, they suck the fun and flexibility out of development. "Build tools" that manage dependencies are usually opaque about whats gone wrong. Not fun. Spent too many hours trying to find "which version of this library does this function need?"

Too much redundancy is a bug magnet and I cannot emphasize how much I loathe it. There really is no good answer to 'Why is this function duplicated with one extra parameter ?'
So, what is it about the economics of mining? It's not like you'll lose anything by sharing.
that caveman never went to school, he'd accept my argument

I don't dismiss tech, it's just that it never address the issues to me. So it's not the solution, it's a tail chase.
I read (read: scrolled through) the original survey. For those who did not / will not:

- It's long.

- It's mostly about products being Made in America.

- The question in question is near the end (which could contribute to taker fatigue)

- The question in question makes no mention of Amazon. In the case of this service, brand matters.

- I didn't see anything (read: I could have missed it) saying if these are Amazon customers or not.

- I didnt see any question along the lines of: Has a delivered package ever been stolen from your porch?

This idea is new. No doubt some people won't use it, at least not right away. But it could catch on. Maybe.

That being said, I don't see this survey being a good indicator. It feels far from a ideal survey (to me).
But how does it work while travelling?

Yes you can buy roaming packs, but local SIM cards are as low as 5$ for unlimited LTE.
The undo stack of any document oriented application is that timeline? Typically if you hover the undo button it says "Undo add frob" and if you undo that, you can see the next item. It's also common to be able to drop it down and see the whole undo stack and undo to an arbitrary point in it.

Since this has been par for the course for for as long as I remember, I take it that's not what's discussed here...
> don't need a piece of plastic that holds a numeric key

Doesn't a SIM include a small micro-controller and firmware (ref#1)?
It isn't just a numeric key holder.

In addition, wouldn't having an apple designed electronic SIM reduce what 3rd party firmware (hardware SIM card) is running on their devices? Seems like a good deal to me.

The whole "unboxing" hype, as if that were a thing. "Now let's enjoy getting this [thing] out of its packaging!" -- as if that were an essential part of the enjoyment of [thing]. It's just a prerequisite to the actual use and enjoyment of [thing], because packaging is a prerequisite of transport, storage and sales.

Who the heck came up with the silly idea that this is an event in itself? And above all, why did anyone -- or, worse, seemingly everyone -- fall for it?!?

There's a fairly common use case for resizing where you have a large image already in CPU memory, and want to create a thumbnail or otherwise downsize. Copying the large source image to GPU memory can be expensive enough that it's faster to simply do the resize on the CPU, since the data is already there.
Your electricity costs are probably significantly higher and you might lose money overall
Its funny that in the old days the main selling point of GSM/SIM-Cards were that you could physically change from phone to phone and kept your line (and contacts), now we the recent race to get things as little as possible and that virtually no one is using by default any of the extra-GSM functionalities has (contact backup), coming back to a non-physical identity as the solution (like in the CDMA days) that will force you to go to carrier every time you need to change yout phone and depend on 3rd party online services for the extra functionalities.
Yea, but that OS is everything. They barely make any software outside of it. And it's the best mobile OS by far.
