Worst investment yet, was solar Energy.

PS: Fixed this for you. Sorry, did not know you are a bullshitter!

It started generating electricity on April 9, 1985, but did not receive permission from the atomic legal authorizing agency to feed electricity to the grid until November 16, 1985. It operated at full power in February 1987 and was shut down September 1, 1989.[1]

Exactly this. There are ways to do mitigate this problem without going through a post-nup though.
Can a shareholders agreement be binding on the spouse or would the spouse also have to sign it?
If you are able to do that, then I insist: you probably have failed at best practices.

Most likely on this part: a good password hashing (ie. security hashing) should be fast so that you can log-in but slow enough to prevent brute force (ie. what you are implying).
Hashings like md5/shaX don't have that: you can compute of lot them very quickly, which is their purpose. Bcrypt/Argon2/... will have a cost/time that will allow only a few computation per second, which is their purpose.

So if you did best practices well, and try to loop through your users database, (I assume you have more than a few hundreds users) it might take some time, some long time. Anyway, you'll then fail at another best practice because the initial user trying to log in will get bored and be gone somewhere else ;-)

If a change of mind is all it takes to "walk with his assets" then he doesn't really have any reason to believe his share is "50-50" does he?

Marriage, for heterosexual men, is the worst kind of contract. The terms of the contract are not agreed to in writing up front. If they are agreed to beforehand (prenup), a judge can disregard the terms in part or whole during divorce proceedings.

Can anyone think of a worse kind of contract than this?

Every married heterosexual man has at least one acquaintance who was "divorce raped". All of the virtue signaling in the world by a man's wife does not protect him from a change of her heart.
The Note 8 was released a few months ahead of the iPhone X for $930 too.
Practical Partial Evaluation for High-Performance Dynamic Language Runtimes [pdf]
>[0]: http://www.firecalc.com/ gives us an 80% chance of success for a $750k portfolio on $30k withdrawal a year over 50 years.

Which will be good 4 out of 5 times.

This is using all available 50 years "stretches" since 1871.

If you try limiting the "since" to 1960 the success rate goes to 25%.

Still since 1960, 40 years are 44%, 30 years are roughly on par at 79%.

And while sticking at the shorter 30 years, if you start from 1970 the percentage of success increases at 94.4%, if you start from 1980 you finally get 100%.

If you start from 1970 with 40 years period, you are at 75%, more or less the same.

Now what happens if - still starting from 1970 - you increase the period?

41 - 71.4%

42 - 66.7%

43 - 40.0%

44 - 25.0%

45 - 33.3%

46 - 50.0%

47 - 0.00%

And the troubling issue with the last one is that in the two cycles available you hit 0 US$ respectively after 25 and 40 years.

Not to put anyone down, but even the 3% is not that much safe when you go over such lengthy stretches, still as an example drawing 22,500 US$ out of the 750,000 portfolio, which gives a 100% rate of success limiting since 1960 gives 8 cycles, of which one is not a problem as it ends ove 20 millons, but the other 7 (or 87.50%) are IMHO too close to 0 to be reassuring.
How to crawl billions of images from all around the web
Funny that I buy those exact same LiPos for my quadcopters, and never considered using them for an ESP8266. How much time do you get out of those if you're using a DHT22 sensor?
I have a pretty sizable side project and I'm starting another one. It's possible, but you have to be hyper organized with your time. I used to do a lot of my coding on the BART/Transbay commute back and forth (about an hour and 15 minutes a day), plus another hour at night. You can do a lot in two hours a day. Squeeze in a few hours during the weekend and you can still have a life and a full-time job. You do have to love coding though.
I feel bad for this couple. If I had to choose between my life partner and my business partners, it would not even be a question. Marriage is the ultimate partnership. If you aren't willing to share everything, good and bad, then maybe it's not for you. I mean, most people even say that in their freaking vows! I hope she refuses to sign and he wises up and apologizes.

If you had the social and monetary capital to attempt 10 startups and fail, one wonders if that money and effort would not have been better invested elsewhere (if we assume that the goal of the startup is to achieve a successful exit), perhaps in easier forms to generate passive income or what have you.

What's true for you is not necessarily true for others. Are you still in touch with the people you knew in kindergarten? How many years ago was that? Consider that some people might have two or three times that many adult years of changing cities, changing jobs, changing life circumstances, each change resulting in more people with whom staying in touch is not automatic as it is with current classmates or coworkers. Some of them might have less free time because of family and other obligations. Some of them might have disabilities. Some might be more introverted than you are, which does not mean that they need human contact less but that it might take more effort to sustain it. Many people who are not exactly the same as you might find great value in having a lightweight way to maintain those tenuous contacts. Deriding them as not "true friends" or assuming that only "true friends" matter is very egocentric and privileged.

He mysteriously does not see her as a contributor to his success or is a d*ck. The impact a person has in our lives obviously cannot be calculated, but cannot be simply ignored. If they have been together for six fricking years, how can he dismiss her influence on him? Considering they have a functional relationship, she probably has been helping him on infinite occasions, from domestic chores to emotional support.

This guy is being ridiculous.
- Pumped storage hydroelectricity grid [1]

- Wall socket receiver for power-line communication [2] to schedule energy consuming devices at homes/factories - dishwashers, washing machines, heaters, freezers - this may be not to easy to match demand but at least that could be scheduled in some reasonable time range like "within 4 hours" etc. Also I would be fine to "store" cold with freezers down to -50 deg C. The receiver could display electricity bill saving to incentivise users :)

- Subsidized home batteries (like Powerwall but with no need for solar part) which could be controlled by electricity supplier to balance usage - also with some power-line communication.

Yep. And Enigma is unbreakable, that's why it's totally safe.
> At least there's a chance to prove the source was filmed with camera X, if its public key is known.

To be fair, the only thing that can be proven is that it was either filmed with that camera, or someone has extracted the private key from the device (or just tricked the signing chip to sign a custom data packet).
According to the CEO of Espressif, Teo Swee Ann, the I/O pins of the ESP8266 are 5V tolerant.

See discussion here: https://hackaday.com/2016/07/28/ask-hackaday-is-the-esp8266-... and official reply on Facebook (of all places): https://www.facebook.com/groups/1499045113679103/permalink/1...

> Teo Swee Ann i can reply officially here: it is 5V tolerant at the IO. while the supply voltage is at 3.3V.
My 17 year old niece recently upgraded, and she could choose any phone. She chose the 8 Plus, as she perceived the iPhone X as being smaller. She said she'd happily get a "X Plus"
Many kinds of power generation can't be easily started and stopped (nuclear, say). It might be cheaper to create an incentive for someone to use your excess power for a short period than it is to absorb the cost of a long shutdown and restart.
I was an Amazon delivery driver: What it’s like to work in the package brigade
So why not just ask the customer to choose between "good/good but with room for improvement/bad", rather than picking a point value on an 11-point scale? Simple questions are more likely to be answered honestly than complicated ones.
1) Move away from internal combustion vehicles as the basis of your transportation system. Use rising productivity to grow public transit capacity. Concentrate new developments and migrants into central areas where cars aren’t needed.

2) Zone most blocks for (high quality, safe) towers and make others into parks.
I can relate with the fact that taking a longer break from connectivity is very healthy.
I found that as I sat on a bus my first instinct was to call a friend. That is not a problem per se, but this I did for every ride. With enough friends I was be able to keep that up all the time. The same pattern was present in everything I did, sitting home alone was not an option.

In the end I lost my phone and felt that I shouldn't get a new one, at the same time my computer was at a friends place. All of a sudden my appartment was without mobile and computer connectivity (not a even a clock!). All of a sudden I could here myself again and I felt stronger and more filled with energy than in a long time.

Later on I have seen talks on precisely the same thing where they talk about how we end up skipping those small breaks we need to take during the day.

It was just a couple of days ago I heard about people who build dark rooms in their home where they can retract and replenish. Munks being the extremes.

I think it's great to find the things you can't handle, IRC, Reddit or Facebook, it's all the same if it steals those small breaks from your schedule. A compact schedule without those will eventually make you break.

Oddly enough I find that Hacker News is totally fine since it's easy to surf in on the most upvoted , read through the headlines, read comments for the interesting parts and be done with it. In the end that's basically the only site I read now a day since my life is busy enough with family and work.

I too have problems with controlling how much I do stuff, obviously. But taking note that it is actually an issue and doing it in controlled doses are really empowering. Choose platforms wisely :) Meditation helps.

Also, quitting IRC was about the hardest thing I've done (but I got my life back), but taking away part by part, channel by channel, i.e. stop gaming since that was why I used chats, made it so much easier to just walk away. Did the same with facebook recently and it was awesome.
Sounds like risk management. I presume he wants to stay married but also wants to protect his business ventures by getting her to agree to a maximum payout. I've known many wealthy men who were completely financially destroyed by divorce. There is often no clean way of splitting a business and having to liquidate cash to buy the partner out can often sink the company.

On a related note, I consider Amber Heard as a risk to the whole Mars mission and get a bit nervous when I hear rumors of them getting back together. I wonder if I'm the only one.

Edit: I grew up in farming country and by far the biggest risk to farms there is divorce. This is insane given all of the other risks in farming.
Perhaps its time we started to design power-consuming devices to take advantage of fluctuating electricity costs. That would be one application of "the internet of things" that I don't immediately find creepy and pointless. Alternatively, it could simply spur the private investment of increasing battery technology as consumers would have an incentive to simply charge up their own energy supplies to get a reduction in their overall utilities bill.

Those updates are always optional, and also keep your 2+ year old phone secure.
Terrible.

One of the hardest things in life is making a side project successful. The people that is with you at the hard times is part of your team and should be with you in the good times.

This man probably has already a mistress. When you have a couple tens of millions in the bank and people know you have it you start attracting dangerous women, I would say professionals, gorgeous women that have experience manipulating men with sex, the PUA(Pick up artist of their sex).

If you were not very good with women before marrying, and even if you are you are extremely vulnerable to them. The same will happen with men like bankers that will stalk you all day the moment you enter a couple million in a bank for doing an operation, they will even cry for you doing with your money what they say is much better for you(which is what is better for them).

IMHO the best strategy is most people not knowing what you are worth. Drive a normal car, wear normal clothing, have a normal house, if you can. I wear normal clothing but drive a Tesla.
> Some what disappointing to see the "climate change" meme come up so often as the cause for some badness in the world when it is, at best, tangentially related to the issue being discussed.

Nowhere in my comment did I make "man-made climate change" a topic, I merely pointed out that outside of economic factors there are also environmental factors which can make rural agricultural production unprofitable if not straight up unviable.

As such it's quite relevant to the parent's point of "Why do people move from rural areas to urban centers?"

Because I'm pretty sure that Syria isn't the only place on Earth suffering from droughts, or other changes in climate, impacting a regions viability for agricultural production.
I have thought about these questions for a long time.

The issue is precisely what Haier brings up : "IQ has nothing to do with dignity, friendliness, compassion, honesty and a host of other positive human attributes."

The problem is that as a society we don't believe this, we believe that having high IQ makes someone more morally worthy of consideration than someone with low IQ. There is a reason people it's considered OK to insult "stupid" people.

People will boast about overcoming poverty and becoming very successful, but how many people will brag that they succeed despite having a low IQ?

A below average IQ is seen as shameful, a sign of moral inferiority, something that can should not be acknowledged or admitted. The assumption is that all the "good" people who need to be listened to and followed are ones with high IQs and those with low IQs should at best be ignored and at worst be pitied and shunned.

If the technology to enhance IQ does become available, ideally it should be like compulsory public education now: Something that is made freely available to all citizens at birth. This would address a lot of the concerns that research into the genetic basis of intelligence will only be used to justify the existing social order, particularly if high continues to be seen as signifying moral worthiness.
Compare with time to travel average commute distance by bicycle.

But that's not a fair comparison, because bicycle commuters have completely externalized the cost of the infrastructure they rely on. You have to compare commuting by car against commuting by bike with no roads. That's why I compared it to travelling on foot across country in my comment.
Monkeying around with traceroute can be all kinds of fun.

Some years back i was having some issues reaching anything beyond the neighboring nations, so i ran a traceroute on one of the problem sites and noticed the routers were labeled by city.

Sure enough, fire up the local news and i read that there were some severe weather going on in the area of the outage...
They also pave the way for the third generation of the iPhone X to cost $350.
One thing I've taken to doing is use neither my phone nor my computer at all for the entire weekend. If you are already burnt out maybe this won't help, but for me it makes an otherwise intense work schedule more sustainable.

Also, I'd heard that you have to completely check out for 10 days on a vacation before you get any restorative benefits. Even checking email one day can reset the clock, or so I heard.
Ham radio vs. hacker communities
You're right! You need a strong engineering culture around its use to avoid its pitfalls, and without that, the results are often regrettable. And I agree, too, that this is a failing of the standard, not of those who use it.

But it's also true that JWT has legitimate use cases; I'm working with it right now in my professional capacity, and we are using it precisely because "twenty bytes of hexified /dev/urandom" isn't a terribly efficient option at our scale - we could do it, but we won't, because it doesn't add value to the business.

As you say, though, the crypto sucks. You know a great deal, both in the absolute and relative to my own knowledge, about such things. What, in your estimation, is the means most likely to produce an outcome where we have something of roughly similar utility and ease of use, but with solid crypto and few or no bear traps for the unwary engineer? (Beyond just removing the algorithm negotiation, or at least the "none" option.) Or does such a thing exist and I'm just one of today's lucky 10,000?
To be precise, negative energy prices are good for consumers with flexible energy usage (and bad for other consumers). For example, if you have a battery at home, you could charge it when energy prices are negative and use the battery when energy prices are high. Ideally, such a system of incentives would reduce peak consumption, making the energy market overall more efficient.
To me, post and pre-nuptial agreements merely reinforce the idea that either you or your partner or both don't trust each other and are together out of mere convenience. If that were the case, why not just stay unmarried?

BTW, the level of support for the husband, among the hacker news community, so far, is pretty astounding, contrasting with the support the wife receives on reddit. Not to paint with a broad brush but I think this really says something about the kind of people running things in tech, not to mention all the stuff women had to put up with in the news the past couple of years with regards to any tech workplace.
No, that's wrong. The signal pins absolutely are 5V tolerant (confirmed by the CEO of Espressif) and work perfectly but if you put 5V to VCC it will fry instantly. I know from experience, in both cases.

It used to be the case that people were unsure if the logic pins were 5V tolerant or not due to ambiguity in the datasheet and the consensus was to be cautious, but it has since been officially confirmed that they are tolerant. Some other devices (e.g. relays, some MOSFET gates) might require a 5V output level to trigger, in which case you will need a level shifter/transistor, but 5V inputs to the pins are fine (and most digital devices that work at 5V logic levels will be fine with 3.3V logical high due to the way TTL levels are defined).
They are both cheap, but the esp8266 based boards are considerably cheaper.

Unless you need Bluetooth, most people are going with the cheaper board
> We were exposed to some kind of lego-related programming, uhhh, thing in school, but none of us had any idea how to do anything beyond what was in the instructions. While it was fun, it was no more educational than a video game and had a similar impact.

I wonder how many of these "teach your kid STEM" toys have this result. I learned to program when my mom got me a vtech precomputer 1000 for Christmas when I was a kid. But becoming a "developer" took many years of effort. Hopefully more kids will be set on the path like I was.
I don't know what to think, he knows how to make a PR but doesn't get this simple thing... :)
Not as difficult, but consuming large amounts of energy on short notice is also not trivial.

"connect a resistor to the end of a power cord" is supposed to make it sound trivial, but operating the resistors needed for absorbing the extra power on the grid is a large scale operation with non-trivial safety concerns. Also, you need to own and maintain all that equipment, &c &c.
"Pumpspeicherkraftwerke" (pump storage power plant) are a thing in germany and largely they are used on minute basis, not seasonal, going from 0 Watts to a Gigawatt in about 20 minutes and probably faster if really necessary. [0]

Power can be stored and emited within a few minutes to the extend that they are used to compensate power spikes or drops in the grid already, for exactly the scenario described in the OP.

It's not necessarily to "hoard money". If I start a company with three technical people and a person with a good business background and we all have voting rights because I trust their judgement, why would I want to have someone else come in with decision making power whose judgement I don't trust? Not necessarily even because that other person as ill intent, but maybe they just don't have the background of the original founders.

If I started a business with a friend because I trusted his business instincts and he passed or they divorced, I would be fine with her benefiting financially as much as she would if they were still married but I wouldn't want her being able to make any strategic decisions.
What does "all else equal" mean to you?
> If there are 1,000 cases of such fraud a year, then I don't think it's worthwhile.

Well, it's probably not really for safety or security, and they clearly don't give a hoot if you're inconvenienced or not.

Consider instead:

- Government contracts routed to political constituents (follow the money -- we know the millimeter scanners were corruptly funded)

- Tons of ground-truth data for further development and deployment. It'd be interesting to find out if they correlate against images captured by vanilla airport security cameras, as well as the cameras on the roadways or public transportation to the airport, and in rental car lots. This helps answer the question of "do we have to upgrade all the crappy domestic cameras to get ubiquitous surveillance, or can we get away with what's out there now?"

A billion or two spent to catch one or two terrorists isn't the point; actual bad guys are utterly optional, and maybe even a distraction.
Because the idea that cancer treatment as well as other exotic treatments needing to be covered by insurance is a pile of horse manure - i'm saying it as someone whose grandmother died from cancer and someone who has a few friends that successful beat down cancer.

Lets engage in an intellectual exercise. 10MM USD (today) and for 1 person cancer is gone. Should we include coverage for cancer into all policies?
No, it really isn't. Because if she signed, then he's basically free to cheat on her at will, and there really isn't anything she can do about it. If she were to divorce, she would be out in the cold.

Why, apparently, is it acceptable for him to have a "contingency plan", but not her?
If you're on the Apple plan in the U.S., the $10 works out to $120 because you can upgrade to a new phone after 12 payments.

AT&T has a similar plan. I don't think I've seen any two-year lock-in plans anymore in a couple of years.
