My alteration specifically or the idea generally?

The only reason I suggested a tax break is because it would work as a good motivator for people to actually engage themselves a bit. They're paying the money anyway, why not do something with it?

The idea generally... in an ideal world where you simply could not fund campaigns from money except from public donations like this, it'd just even the odds a little bit for non-billionaires.

I don't know of a way to make the existing money and power of billionaires not matter in politics at all, though. There's always loopholes and workarounds.
What makes it confusing is that the charging rates are given as 10C, meaning 10% of nameplate capacity.
Given Tesla's recent experience in building the South Australian battery bank, I wonder if it is possible to build something similar at a truck stop.

Imagine a 10MWh battery pack that constantly charges from the grid, when a truck pulls in it can dump charge into the truck at a high rate.

I was thinking about diesel which is trucked in to the truckstop and stored in tanks, and then pumped out when needed. This would store charge in batteries and then pump it out when needed.
That's not really anything outrageous - a serious cyclist can easily hit that speed on a mile on a UCI-spec bicycle (i.e. non-electric).
I have a value of "whoever has the highest standards in a room is the leader". The part where the new guys want to use good form, but are quashed, rang true to me. It's extremely frustrating when an underling wants to improve a process, but management has artificially low standards without good reason. It's a big motivator to start your own business, because no1 can fly as high as you can, when you're doing something you are passionate about. I never want to turn into the guy who crushes good ideas, unless maybe because of temporary time constraints.

The other thing that annoys me is when someone "does something in the name of good standards", but it doesn't fit, is not needed, is over-engineered, and hurts moral of people working on that code; because they are just not able to think for themselves, or it wasn't their idea, so they leap to standards as their authority, when it is too far a cry. They are posers to me. Its like when someone is a beginner in thinking for themselves, and are slaves to accepted "norms", or even a beginner in humility, when they have to have their own way, and cannot accept another, because they think managers have to have all the good ideas, not the best ability to lead.

No it doesn't.

First: it can't happen "behind the scenes" because almost all the money goes into TV advertisement. You can't hide TV ads.

Second: it just doesn't happen.

Third: It's counterproductive to push such cynical, almost nihilistic, conspiracy theories. If you just accuse any politician of corruption, you remove all incentives for them not to be corrupt.

I have met many politicians, and worked for some. And by and large, they're hard-working, and exhibit remarkable integrity, as in: doing the right thing, even when nobody's looking.

Imagine being a politician who leaves his office to use the payphone across the street for campaign calls. Not because it's illegal, but because they consider it unethical to use government property for this purpose. Even though the call would have 0 marginal costs, what with flat-rates and everything.

Now that politician does a town hall, and he gets is people, red in the face, screaming at the tops of their lungs that he's bought by X or Y, or a lying, stupid, fascist and communist.

I've personally seen a 60+ year old man silently cry in the car after such an event. Yet it wasn't because he felt insulted, but because he remembers a time when the level of public debate was worthy of his dedication. And when everyone argued with basic decency, and with a shared purpose (such as healing the scars of World War 2).
Some of what you're saying is false. Investment has increased since 2015, not fallen. And these policy changes were made in response to real - not imagined - abuses, such as specific ISPs blocking VoIP, AT&T blocking Skype on iPhones, and Verizon blocking Google Wallet.

Embrace and Evangelize Zen Coding
I'm not saying to discard this research. I'm suggesting to wait until it is peer-reviewed and published before jumping on it.

To me, the capsule concept seems reasonable, and I have my personal opinion about its strengths and flaws. But my opinion hardly matters.

I expect peer reviewers from NIPS to have a better understanding that I have, and I trust them to filter and clean this idea, instead of trusting the research just because of the name that signs the paper.

To me, although it has its flaws, the _double-blind_ _peer-reviewed_ processes is important.
Reading that comment was like re-reading Dzur (by Steven Brust). Suddenly I'm hungry.
We have double blind peer review precisely to avoid the bias that you express in your second sentence.
I’d argue that these trucks would be a much better fit in Europe than the US. Here truckers can drive a maximum of 9.5 hours a day with a 45 minute break. These are mandated by law and the pentalties are severe for going over these limits.

The range also lends itself nicely to this. Over the course of a day a trucker would drive a maximum of 855km (they are limited to 90/h), so with a short fast charge during their break the 500 mile version could easily achieve this, then over night it could be charged slower.
I'm generally with you, but what do you mean by third part bullshit? I think the parties themselves are the problem, so independent s and third parties are what is needed. (Not looking to get into another argument about the mistakes in duvergers law, just curious for some clarification.)

Why does living in the city make it cheaper per use?

It'd be like having a cheaper subway ticket if your house was closer to the station. Maybe one thing affects usage of the other, but that shouldn't change per-use.

Half of the stories about Musk projects are just rambling about how what he's doing won't work.

I find that doing something that matters in life is not just hard because the task is difficult. It's hard because of all the people that gets in your way.

Are you sure? I believe this is travelling at 26 km/s heliocentric dv while the sunscraper comet was blazing at 600 km/s. So it's not the fastest thing observed in the solar system, by a long shot.

Voyaver 1 is going 17 km/s so it's not like it's ridiculously out of reach... And we launched that one a while ago.

And remember, when people who say things like "NASA needs decades to plan these things," Korolev got out of the gulag in 1945, fresh and ready to work with almost all of his teeth missing and a jaw broken so badly he could not turn his head, it took him 15 years to: develop the first ICBM, first satellite in orbit, and the first sattelite around the moon, as well as the first object to impact the moon.

Without his engineering expertise he would have rotted to death (based on false accusations) in the gulag.

Voyager 1 was launched a long time ago and has roughly 75% the dv that Oumaumua has. It is very doable. We just need to demand it.

Except we have seen cases of blocking before in the US, so even by that interpretation he's misleading people: in 2005, North Carolina-based ISP (and phone company) Madison River blocked customers from using Vonage.

What I think will happen when these futures will be listed:

- the institutional investors who wanted to go long on BTC, had (and still have) the opportunity to buy BTC

- considering that the ways to short BTC now comes at high costs and pretty high counterparty risks I'd say it's a pretty big chance that most of the institutional investors getting into trading BTC derivatives, will go short.

- this creates a big opportunity for crypto currency whales to go long on the derivatives, pump the BTC price and earn some millions.

If you watched the crypto currency markets in the last days, you can notice that lots of alt coins are increasing in price. It means that somebody buys lots of them. I think they're getting ready to buy bitcoin with them when the derivatives will be listed, in order to pump its price even more.

Of course, the above is not a trading advice.

I recently watched the 2017 Laura Poitras documentary, Risk, which covers some of the time running up to the election. There's a scene in which Julian, in a candid moment, realizing that Trump is a contender/the candidate (I can't remember which at the time), laments the fact that he doesn't have anything on him. That's not to say that he didn't receive anything after that time, but one possibility is that Julian didn't have anything to release. Hard to prove either way.

Only New York and Paris were close. Their performance in Tokyo & Dallas were sub optimal. OpenDNS has a much better performance and closer to Google than quad9.

> When the chuck evolved, it was lucky enough to exploit a hidden preference, but we now see it was not uniquely attractive. Many different kinds of sounds might have worked just as well; the luck of the chuck was being first.

Many secondary sexual attributes that we consider to be a major marker of a species likely evolved by accident. Females of a species may be attracted to something out of the ordinary (feathers on the head, an oddly shaped fin, etc.), and the first extraordinary trait wins.

Also, accidents happen. Male Australian beetles find empty beer bottles incredibly attractive. Or they used to, until the shape of the bottle was changed to alleviate the problem.

I recently converted my dynamic DB-driven blog to a static website. I did not predict how badly the added latency between having an idea, writing down the first flawed paragraph, saving a draft, reading what I wrote, then revising and publishing would reduce my writing output. Sure, I can write in Google Docs, but because it's not on my site one click away from being "out there" I am far less compelled to write down my fleeting ideas. Over time I have learned that fleeting ideas are the best ones because they exist at the limit of your understanding. Maybe if you help set up his blog, he'll be more likely to write?

"the San Francisco-based ride-hailing company will invest $225 million into the “Google of Russia,” while Yandex will take 59.3 % ownership of a jointly-held company through a $100 million investment,"

And an earlier article from Fortune also calling it a merger, when it's much more of a joint venture. From July: "Yandex and Uber said they will join forces in Russia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, and Kazakhstan to create a new company operating in some 127 cities, in a deal expected to close in the fourth quarter."
I'm also using Triplicate for a lot of writing. I switch between Triplicate Code and Font Bureau's free Input Mono family for coding (and console display), but Triplicate Poly is terrific for prose writing. I suppose I feel some of the same psychological "draft vs. final" reasons that iA talks about in the linked article, but I just don't like iA's font choices very much.

Triplicate Poly does make the 'm' and 'w' characters a little wider, too, although not by the same amount. It's a true proportional font rather than "duospace."

The caveat to Voyager 1 is that it was launched during an ideal window and performed a pair of gravity-assist slingshot maneuvers, and took 30 years to do it. That is right out of the question as far as this intercept is concerned. It's direct-ascent or bust.

There is no chance of accelerating anything with any substantial mass to that velocity. Hence me plugging starshot - the only chance of us catching up to it with anything at this point is for it to be fairyweight or atomically powered.

The object has already slingshotted, we're mostly boned at this point. Unless we act now, with a cunning plan, we will never learn anything about this object in particular. Even still, we really can't put much onto any hypothetical probe.

Immutable programming with proper immutable data structures (i.e. persistent) is very different than immutable programming in a language with lots of constructs for mutation.

You can throw "const" on things but that isn't really the same kind of immutable programming that exists in Clojure.

Because immutable programming is not just about data not changing, it's about the transformations you can do on that data without concern for the costs that would arise if you did those same transformations in a language without immutable data structures.
