I don't think a brownout would cause the desired effect (GP said "brownout and fail"). But what you could do is automatically switch off a selected set of A/C units when power output is low. That way you can prevent a brownout (drop in voltage), while still having some cooling. Of course, the A/C units should be designed such that frequent shut-offs are not a problem.

Anyway, I'm no expert either but I think the approach should consider the whole system (PV + A/C) rather than view them as different domains.
As I understand it, they often use something called the Social Desirability Scale[0]. I am not knowledgeable in this field, but it seems that the scientific consensus is that such methods can be reliable in judging someone's empathy quotient[1]

Hiring someone across a national border adds a lot of complexity and cost to the employment process. A few companies I have worked for which did have foreign employees ended up with an umbrella company paradigm, with individual corporations in each country to help ease the complications and reduce the costs.

This sounds so ridiculous I have a hard time believing the issue isn't being misrepresented. Does anyone have the other side on this?
There is an extensive charging network here in Kansas City area; > 2000 plugs. Though as of 1/18 many have started charging $0.20/kWh, which is double the rate at home. I’ll still use them though. Places like grocery stores are still free.
Could because you have 2FA, or could because you have been login from different countries right from the start (hence considered "usual"). Another case where I have seen AWS login ask for verification is when email bounces, which is exactly the case discussed here.

One thing you can do for DNS and your host provider for your mail server is use a separate gmail account that forwards to your normal domain. It's unlikely that you'd lose both your DNS / mail server AND access to that independent gmail account.

I wish service provider for essential services allowed more than one email. A work around is to setup up more than one "root" account, each setup with a different email provider.
That experience doesn't seem much different from millenials born in the early 90s. We also played outside, made phone calls and used floppy disks. Most of my friend group didn't get cell phones or myspace until high school, forget facebook.

The only real difference I see is we had playstation or 64s first, not NES, ataris, or sega genesis. Though I guess gameboys and tamagotchi were pretty new.

Seems like an arbitrary distinction. Just because the millenial experience isn't perfectly uniform doesn't mean they aren't still part of it.
I like that BRK beat the market last year by 10bps. Much of my savings is in BRK. The way I look at it, you're actually investing in dozens of well-run cash-generating companies.

What really sold me on BRK was how Buffet started a massive capital improvements project into their railroad business. If my memory serves me right, the investment was around $8bn, maybe 3 years ago or so. This was an investment in infrastructure on a scale not seen - and certainly beat railroad competitors in terms of capex by 2x or 3x.

My revelation was: had the railroad business gone to the market to raise those funds how would it have gone down? Bankers would have had a field day with fees. Traders would rush in. Speculators would dump the stock or bonds at a moment's notice.

BRK creates near zero friction within its businesses. You have cash in one place, you can just move it easily to another place where its needed, simple.

EDIT:
It was $5bn injection in BNSF in 2014: https://www.fool.com/investing/general/2014/02/05/berkshire-...

> At least with a gaming card, once you're done mining with it you have a card you can game with that has essentially paid itself off.

Isn’t this similar to the “useful work”/“Mining Heater” situation discussed in the article?
Do you always need some lazy evaluation to arrive at the Y-combinator? It seems that even for the strict example a lambda was used to hold the recursive call evaluating too early.

Well, anyways, these are very interesting ideas to study and opened up some of the reasoning behind Haskell's laziness for me.
>Even though I didn't particularly take to the sprinkling of profanity and hip-hop lingo I think "on some Slavic shit" roughly translates to "on some Slavic thing/trip" and isn't intended to be derogatory. Am open to corrections here.

Yeah, in the drive-by shootin kinda sense maybe, motherfucker.

> The rest of your post I'm having a hard time disassembling. I don't think you can just free associate from one language to another switching between written and spoken changing alphabets along the way and between past and present.

Of course you can freely associate, to a limited degree you even have to, because that's how language is being used. I'm pretty sure because, like, it still is, which I know, because sometimes I do go out. And I'd hazard a guess that before TV and public schooling, language was far more fractured and

> I mean, if you actually did come up with a valid and novel derivation of something that's the kind of thing one could put into a paper get peer reviewed and published.

I take that as a compliment. I could self publish like Martin Luther and start a new religion. I'd call it Euangelium ... So much for you can't just freely associate between written and spoken language.
I find it bizarre that we mix infrastructure and regulation with politics.

American Conservative Union giving out awards to non-partisan government institution representatives strikes me as inappropriate.

I suspect a lot of questions regarding the metrics used can be found in either the WaPo article this references or the Nature piece the WaPo article is based on:

Part of the big appeal is the loudness of the bikes. I don't think I would want a harley if it was quiet....also if you don't like it because it's loud, chances are that you will not enjoy it and will hold negative connotations with it.

Granted there are assholes that like to knock out your side mirrors but loud bikes definitely make themselves aware of other drivers when their cross section visibility is much less than a car.

I would think that the more scorn you show for these bikers, you are just upping their own sense of glee.
College Humor, at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=No35-c4zXjo , captured some of the ridiculousness of the concept. Including using "Xennial".
If you're going to fetch important quantitative data using a client-side Ajax query, then you really shouldn't default that value to "0". That results in a delay of several seconds or more when the page displays "0" even if the actual value is say, "12". It would be much better to default to either the empty string, or "-", or "fetching..." or something like that.

In my case, there was a "0" on the page as the main value for at least 5-10 seconds (probably due to HN load) before the correct value was displayed ("12").
Just because you're using a password manager doesn't mean none of the services you have a password on has had a leak. In such case, you'd still want to change your password on that service.
As you can tell from the relnotes, there are a lot of removals. Fortunately, they're all following a pretty reasonable deprecation procedure, but I still can't shake what happened with Jigsaw and JDK9. Software broke. That didn't happen (regularly) before unless that software was doing patently silly things. This was different: _most_ software broke. Here's hoping that doesn't turn into a pattern.
I’m a massive fan of digital ocean, so I hope they continue in a similar direction as they continue to grow into more corporate form. In any case, it’s going to be exciting to see what they bring out this year to compete with the ever-expanding and seemingly infinite offerings of AWS, especially with the coming voice-assistants gold rush.
This reminds me of another struggle in SF to get an ice-cream parlor approved.

"The NYT's Scott James recounts the insane red-tape endured by Juliet Pries, an entrepreneur who decided to open an ice-cream parlour in San Francisco's Cole Valley. She had to pay rent on an empty storefront for over two years while the necessary permits were processed, and tens of thousands of dollars in fees (including the cost of producing a detailed map of nearby businesses, which the city itself seemed not to have)."

Exactly. One could argue that bikers are disproportionately responsible for this problem, but they're far from having a monopoly. There's no shortage of people with a "tuned" Civic/Impreza/Neon or cheapskate businesses operating shitty old trucks, at least in my area.
Why is toddler the age you use to consider whether someone grew up with game a console? I was born in the early 90s and had a Nintendo 64 first (released in 96). Just because I was 6 or 7 when I got it doesn't mean I didn't effectively grow up with one.
In a significant shift in how Microsoft and partners will be positioning these new devices, the branding "Always Connected" will be used to refer to devices running Windows 10 on ARM.

Wow! That is probably the dumbest branding I've ever seen! "Always connected" sets off an alarm in my head thinking "I cannot use this without internet. This is full of DRM. This device is controlling me rather than the other way around". How is it always connected? What is connected? It's Win10 on ARM.
loading message or animation is probably best while the number is fetched.

I would suggest that the number 75,000 is east coast thinking. Glasgow an wolf point are not really nowhere. And the travel time criteria suggests an attention span deficit common to city life.

I would suggest another metric. That is the percentage of people living in an area who have not seen the Milky Way. There is likely a whole seath of the Sprawl where that metric would be zero.
The way the article attempts to address this is unsatisfactory:

> Secondly, this only works because the benefits are externalities, they are public and not owned by the miners. So there is no incentive for Miners to switch to such a system or even adopt such a system.

By this logic there is no incentive for Folding@home et al to exist either, but they do.

The incentive to switch to it is that it solves the collective action problem. That itself is another collective action problem, but it's an easier one. The difference to the miner between e.g. folding proteins and hashing is much smaller than the original difference between folding proteins and doing nothing, while still providing the full public benefit of protein folding.
Whether there are any cities in Maine larger than 75,000 people is irrelevant. The study is not based on city population. EDIT: The WaPo story is also not based on city population.
No it doesn’t make sense. That explanation is privledging remote observers frames of reference to “explain” what happens in another frame of reference. That’s a violation of our modern understanding of physics.
TL;DR: Because most programmers are still so bad that FizzBuzz is still a good indicator.
I also agree with Mr. Buffett that the next 100 years for American businesses will be the best....makes me think China won't usurp America anytime soon.
I'm not sure what you're getting at. If everyone expected electric vehicles to just naturally replace all petrol powered vehicles and make them extinct, there would be no need for talk of a ban. Of course petrol heads will always want petrol powered vehicles. The whole point of bans is to stop people doing things they would otherwise do.

Note I'm not advocating a ban as such. I think it would be a shame if all petrol powered vehicles were banned, if only for historical appreciation. They might be banned from or face restrictions on their use on public highways though. However it does seem likely there will be a push back from petrol heads on that.
Well, if you take the WeWork style co-working spaces as a real estate cost baseline, each employee in a private office will cost somewhere around $1,000 a month for the space. In contrast, an employee making a salary of a mere $120,000 will cost the company somewhere north of $13,000 a month (salary + taxes + benefits).

I'll say it.

This will fail.

1. Harley demographic is entrenched, hard to pivot. Most associate with wealthy boomers and 'lowlifes', or working class murica. Not things as popular today. Other, better, performance ebikes exist, and outside this restrictive submarket, but are not thriving. And I will casually remind readers of Southparks opinion. That said, they do have diehard fans that would buy anything they made.

2. Motorcycles are all about freedom. Range issues, or even the idea of them, robs confidence. This will change, but gas is way more energy dense and on a bike it matters even more than cars. Going into the mountains is not when you want to wonder if your range will halve going up hills with gusto, or screwing it on for the corners.

3. Price perception. The electric will be awesome. Torque is so fun on bikes. But to harley riders, I think it will fell like a 'toy'. And for the price point, its gonna be a tough sell.

4. Tinkering. You do not buy a harley as an intelligent person without ever expecting to work on it. Hell, that is part of the classical appeal of them. There are more than a few explorations of life and motorcycle maintance in print. Maybe this is just my bias, but the connection with the machine is part of what makes motorcycling so intimate.

I very much welcome being incorrect. I shopped for an ebike and bought another used sportbike instead.
The coasts are like that. Growing up in D.C., if you had told high-school me that Chicago was far larger than D.C. I would've been floored. Illinois is just a "flyover state" right?

We are in a black hole. The event horizon of the entire universe is on the same order as the observable universe. We are inside the black hole of the universe.

If you read the Washington Post article it goes into considerably more detail. It is based on certain assumptions about what modes of travel are available at different locations on the globe, so in much of Greenland or on Ellesmere Island it is assumed you are traveling by foot.

It's amazing to see code and implementation details that match the physics language.

I wonder if this codebase is ELM-able? i.e. does it use any specific features from Haskell that are not in ELM? I'd love to see this in the browser. Weekend project anyone?
Yep. The "loud pipes" are only loud when the motorcycle is already in front of you, not in, say, your blind spot where it matters.
According to the company, they are connected to this private network only to upload the unofficial tally.
You're reading way too much into fizzbuzz. Whenever I get a problem like this on a white board I know that it's just a screening question, so I solve it. Solving this toy problem is nothing like solving actual problems in the real world. If you use fizzbuzz for its intended purpose, great. If you're doing it like this, you're going to reward the people who are incompetent enough to need to draw out every implication of a 3 line function.
tl;dr: If you only do one type of X-based learning, it will fail to teach you everything you need to know. This is literally covered last in the disclaimer.

The author never talked about whether this was actually a problem.

And frankly, it's a shameless plug for a course that literally uses project-based learning in it.
Depends on language, too. Python and nodejs's cold starts are close to 100ms, Java and C#'s can be more dangerous. I also assume that comparison was with minimal code samples with no dependencies.
I bet they're fine with it. They have invested a great deal of engineering effort in building a notification system that scales - there are plenty of legitimate uses for that system that dwarf this clever hack in terms of traffic (issues with hundreds or even thousands of subscribers).

If I were them I would be delighted at someone using my work in an unexpected and creative way like this - having users surprise you like this (provided it's not for abuse or spam) is one of the joys of software design.

You could figure out the actual impact by counting the number of individual subscribers to all of the issues in this repo. My guess it's not even a hundred yet.

Plese don’t answer with Proof of stake or other shenanigans if we want to be evaluating this phenomenon in an honest way.
Unless I missed something proof of stake is translated to “who has more money can print the biggest percentage of new money”, but I didn’t really follow all the variations of this philosophy.
I imagine this as time asymptotically slowing as you approach the singularity so that the singularity is forever stuck at the time of the supernova explosion that gave birth to it. You can never reach it because you and your movements too, slow down the closer you get. Is that correct?
The useful thing about unexec is that it is general. I ported it from Emacs to GNU Make about ten years ago. I was then able to instantly run incremental make jobs (where the rule tree of included Makefiles was so large that it otherwise took 30 seconds between typing make and the command to rebuild your file being dispatched!) GNU Make doesn't use any special data structures; just malloced structs with arbitrary pointers that no garbage collector is informed about.

I live in the suburbs of Washington DC and yesterday I took the Metro in to go to a busy crowded Happy Hour with a bunch of dressed up, "important" people. It was fun.

If it wasn't raining today, I'd have plans to go on a beautiful nature hike on rugged terrain called the Billy Goat Trail. I regularly see deer in my back yard.

For my personal situation, I wish I lived closer in and plan to move this year. However I'll still be an hour drive max to somewhere that the air is fresh and scenery beautiful and calm.
Actually businesses can be forced to pay state or local tax on physical assets. It's called tangible property tax, and rules differ per jurisdiction. That said the irs doesn't do this and doesn't count unrealized returns.

That's the thing that never made sense to me about the black holes. The closer you are to the event horizon, the faster the time passes for the universe around you. So reaching the event horizon should take infinite amount of the "outside time", so right before you reach the horizon, you should see the whole future of the universe, including its end, if there's any.

So how do black holes gain any mass then?

As for the sports car, I totally understand the choice. Unfortunately, for under a couple of million dollars a car will never have the same potential for acceleration as even a relatively modest motorcycle. And you... loose something visceral when you can't lean into turns.

If a person is OK with that, however, a used sport car is definitely a reasonable investment for some wheeled fun.

Most new bikes, and plenty of older imports, are nearly silent. They don't hear you till you pass. My old race bike got just as may blind merges as my quiet tourer. The difference seems to be riding style, staying out of blind spots and being 'unpredictable' so drivers actually notice you.

That said, it is well known that the power-sound connection is a very satisfying one to the rider.

That's not what he's saying. He knows go can use all processors if GOMAXPROCS is set correctly, the argument seems to be that there will be race conditions just like any other threading, which seems pretty self evident to me: yes, multi-threaded code can have concurrency issues, film at 11...
Funny, I live just a couple of miles from where that photo is taken. While it's true that we're a long way from a big city, this place does not feel all that isolated. I've been to towns in Utah and Nevada that are hours of dirt road driving from the nearest grocery store: Jarbidge, NV, Trout Creek, UT. Those are truly in the middle of nowhere. I've asked folks in these towns where they get their food and the answer is the same: occasional drives into town but mostly Amazon Prime.
