The article doesn't go into details about the causes of the drop in demand, but it does say that ...

> "Thanks to a combination of greater energy efficiency, outsourcing of heavy industry, and customers generating their own power on site, demand for utility power has been flat for 10 years, and most forecasts expect it to stay that way."

So the drop in demand may be being driven by things other than cost, meaning that a continued decrease in cost may not result in increased demand.

Yes, but for me instead of "Face Recognition" it's under "Timeline and Tagging Settings", and then it's the third suggestion under "Tagging".
>> The company is not disclosing the type of memory or the controller that power the SD PCIe card, but it is clear that we are dealing with a custom solution.

Similarly to "suggested edits" for pages/businesses. You have an accuracy score as an editor based on how many of your suggested edits get accepted/approved.

I'd be willing to bet my hat that they have a similar scoring for approving suggested tags - don't click them/ignore them complete for a few days and you'll probably start seeing that suggesting a lot less.
Wouldn't the betterness of using friend networks being reduced false positives? Facebook has 2 billion MAU, which means they have a lot of faces. Filtering down to the 50k or so that are close to you means it's much easier to find the right person, rather than a similar stranger.
I think the intention was to say self-driving vehicles with no passengers, though I could be wrong.

The reason being that a car driving itself around with no one in it is essentially wasting resources and spewing out emissions. The example comes up often in what-ifs about self-driving cars.

Yes, cull aggressively. Even talented amateur photogs that I know does not not have more than 10% keeper rate, at max, and that probably include a bunch of meh stuff too. No reason to keep the other 90% with half-nailed focus or unflattering facial expressions. For many years I kept mostly everything thinking that I one day might go back and re-evaluate a photo. That day has so far never happened in 16 years of shooting digital.
How is the integration of Flutter apps with the rest of the Android system/apps? Given that Flutter does not use the platform native widgets -- do Flutter apps look or behave different?

How difficult it is to use a Java library from Dart?
Agreed - quite a lot of the power from my solar panels is currently being fed back into the grid but this will change in a few years when I replace my hybrid car with a full electric. Electric transport is definitely the main source of growth in electric power consumption.
Thanks for asking! It's actually something we're currently working on, and one of the top feature requests we have : we'll provide import from major services (google docs, confluence, paper) and export for backup purposes to google drive.

To be noted: our public API will be available soon and will let you develop sync mechanisms with other tools if needed.
I use it regularly for personal and work use; great for chatting, initiating calls/FaceTime, and sharing files.
How do you compare with Confluence? Are you just trying to provide a better ease of use?
1) The key word there is "capacity." The energy still needs to be generated.

2) Coordinating EV charging with grid dynamics is a hot topic, but getting 100M vehicles to charge largely at night is not on anyone's roadmap for the next decade.
It doesn't work that way. They can see that you tag wrong too many people, and you're obviously an outlier, so your data is rejected. The only way you can "win" is by deleting facebook and pushing for better data protection laws.
Nokia phones are not coming to US yet.
I don't hate Dart. I hate Google's presumption that their new client GUI platform will be so irresistible that it will convince me to use an unloved no-community language that's not usable in any other context.

And... why? There better be agood reason not to pick Kotlin, or C#, or Swift, or Go even? There better be something very special about Dart but... there isn't, so far as I can see. So it seems like Google is foisting this on us arbitrarily, or from internal political calculations. Which just taints the whole thing.

I would hypothesize that a cover would restrict air flow around your sweat glands which would reduce your scent on the air around where you're sleeping. It would also mask the outline of your body. For insects adapted to bite humans, hiding these signals and providing a physical barrier would possibly reduce bite incidents. Reducing bites from potentially pathogen-spreading insects would have an evolutionary advantage.
Not to be a shill, but this feels extremely similar to Notion [1] -- in fact I'm failing to see substantiative differences in the collaboration interfaces, the freeform editing, etc. How does it differentiate?

Why would they block this?
That may be true over some timeframes of comparison, but it doesn't explain 2007 to now, when the Vox chart shows electricity demand plateauing.

Here is Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's energy flow chart for the United States in 2007:

https://flowcharts.llnl.gov/content/energy/energy_archive/en...

And here's the most recent one, from 2016:

https://flowcharts.llnl.gov/content/assets/images/energy/us/...

Industrial sector primary energy demand barely declined, from 24.84 quads in 2007 to 24.5 in 2016. That's less than the decline from the residential sector, 11.43 to 11.00.
For me I had a related setting under the "Timeline and Tagging" tab (set to "No One"), there was no "Face Recognition" tab... until I click "Go to Settings" in the notification, then the "Face Recognition" tab appeared, and the similar setting was removed from "Timeline and Tagging".
That's just because we have high expectations. Having lived in both the Bay Area and NYC, in NYC we generally expect the MTA to work reliably, frequently, and 24/7, because it usually does. In the Bay Area I had no such expectations: I knew there were trips I just couldn't make by transit in a reasonable fashion, and other trips that I couldn't make quickly. So when the transit systems failed to deliver, I wasn't actually disappointed.

For instance, my current commute from voice lessons in the Upper West Side to my apartment in Brooklyn (about 9 miles) is one 30-minute train ride, with a train arriving at least every 5 minutes, plus a 5-minute walk on each side. I'm disappointed when that train doesn't go to Brooklyn on weekends because of construction or something, and I need to make one transfer to another train that also comes within about a minute of me getting to the transfer station.

My voice lessons in SF were in Diamond Heights, under 3 miles from my apartment in the Mission. All the commute options involved a bus that comes every half hour, and getting to that bus involved either a transfer from another bus, or walking 15 minutes to take BART one stop. So I would just take a Lyft or a ZipCar, and if the every-half-hour bus wasn't running that day, I wouldn't even notice because I didn't consider it an option. (Sometimes for the return trip I would walk >20 minutes downhill to Glen Park BART, but it's too steep to be a reasonable commute uphill.)

And then I moved to Oakland and gave up on going to voice lessons entirely.

Both the MTA and the Bay Area transit systems have plenty of room for improvement. The difference is that we think that improvement to the MTA is politically realistic, that covering the city with good, reliable transit is within the realm of possibility because we're so close to being there. That's why we make more noise in NYC. In SF, it didn't feel like there was a point.
I'm not sure I understand the OP exactly, but I think I feel similarly. The issue for me is that by improving efficiency without changing the long-term growth curve, you're only buying a few years of reprieve. The fear is that this reprieve that feels effective in the short term might actually be delaying development of a proper solution.

Consider an immediate 50% improvement in fuel efficiency, but with a 10% increase in usage per year. In less than a decade, you are back to where you started, but now the chances of another 50% improvement in efficiency are very low. Worse, the lower cost due to the efficiency improvement may have actually accelerated consumption.

The question is whether the "kick the can" approach will eventually leave you in a position where you can't recover, and whether your efforts would have been better spent on solving the underlying problem of system that depends on limitless growth and the externalization of environmental damage. Unfortunately, it's hard to come up with a "real" solution that doesn't involve massive cutbacks in consumption and/or hard caps on human population.
Any replacement of the utterly ubiquitous USB 2.0 & micro-USB 2.0 was always going to take many years. Give it a few more. The Nexus 5X was one of the earliest harbingers, and that was only two years ago.
I've been thinking of something similar. Everything comes into a simple URL as POST request. The request would be structured like to do the complete RUD:

{ "action":"myFunctionName", "state":"READ", "data": { "field1":111, "field2":"two"} }

{ "action":"myFunctionName", "state":"UPDATE", "data": { "field1":111, "field2":"two"} }

{ "action":"myFunctionName", "state":"DELETE", "data": { "field1":111, "field2":"two"} }

{ "action":"myFunctionName", "state":"INSERT", "data": { "field1":111, "field2":"two"} }

The reason this came up is because we have limited access to a client's server. So we setup one script (index.php) that would direct the data to include files.
Ticket sales are substantially profitable for solo artists and DJs, marginal for small acoustic combos and revenue-neutral for most rock bands.

One man and a guitar have much lower overheads than a four-piece band with a trailerload of equipment - you can't take a drum kit as cabin baggage. The band have to sell four times as many tickets to make the same revenue per person.

Even if a band can draw a bigger crowd and sell more tickets, the economics are still stacked against them. Small venues generally provide a house PA system and lighting rig, but larger venues don't. Equipment hire or a touring road crew take a huge bite out of ticket sales. Bigger venues also offer less favourable terms to artists, because they're far more likely to have a local monopoly.

I think this is a hugely overlooked factor in the decline of rock music. Young musicians are smart enough to realise that drummers and bass players need to be paid, but drum machines and looper pedals don't.
Not a chance. The only country that has a history of such actions is the United States.
I do every time I shop. It's (was) the easiest price comparison for general products (that I know of).

This is certainly a huge disappointment. I don't think I would have searched out an alternative anytime soon had this not happened.
You won't find LED's for $1/bulb, but the total cost of ownership over X years is massively in favor of the LED.

Also I simply find it convenient that LED's just. don't. die. I haven't had to change a single bulb since I upgraded ~4 years ago.
It would appear to be the case - I don't see it, but others in Europe do... its maybe also related to local laws (Austria) disallowing such things, and if that is the case I sure am thankful.
I always assumed it was because the environment is kept moist. Which is why you bandage wounds, and not let them scab over.
I got this notification in my Facebook mobile app with slightly different wording. I went into the settings, and it was turned off.

I wonder if they realized they need to show this to all users in order to get some sort of consent.
Why did you choose to support a single language instead of following an approach similar to GTK, with a binding-friendly C API and wrappers around it for major languages (or even just for Dart, the community would have quickly provided the rest)?

Explicitly banning Eurozone citizens from using the service is the easiest solution I have thought of.
No, that only applies to cars with the more fancy antiparticulate filter that also requires urea fluid.
Any netnews set of servers not owned by cooperative entities is more supportive of free speech than any single-point-of-censorship/chokepoint like a website. If a website's owners don't want to carry one's posts, or if a sufficiently organized set of readers don't want others to read that post it's easy to score the post low and effectively keep others from reading it by default. Not so easy to do with netnews where servers share posts with each other; servers that share posts will typically spread that post to another server. There are multiple points at which one can upload the post and wait for the normal store-and-forward mechanism to work. That post can be scored low or marked read by an individual, but such action won't keep others from reading the post.

I think this is a big part of the reason why centralization is always censorship and, in turn, why organizations desire that power when setting up yet another discussion site.
As a physician, I demur: avoid anything but copious irrigation with water ± bandage.
Will the GDPR eventually make bitcoin or other immutable public distributed databases illegal in the EU? Do you have default judgements on thousands john doe node operators around the world? Will EU ISPs be required to censor any kind of blockchain node eventually when someone has a GDPR complaint for that network? Will we arrest teenagers for running ethereum miners on their gaming computers after all of this?

I know only one coworker who understands this concern. No one else seems to care, and the girl I am dating, who is quite technical, has been very suspicious and saddened by me not wanting to put up any pictures of us together. It was basically I relent or something is really wrong, so I gave up. This is the world we live in.
So you're already promising you don't care about the person you're trying to sell to? Hooooo boy, where do I sign up for your product!?

To respond to your first statement, telemarketers don't take no, or not interested for an answer.

You contradict yourself, first you say I'm being a dick, but then you say you don't care. So which is it?
If you have a customer from the EU, you must comply with GPDR. Full stop.

Also, if any component of your cloud ecosystem(AWS, GCS, etc.) are based in the EU, you must comply with GPDR. Which in today's world means almost everyone is affected by this.

Make sure those "American" platforms you speak have every single component of their infrastructure based physically in America.

The whole thing may be difficult to enforce, but meh why risk it?
The original post said this was an example "western media bias", my comparison to Chinese media was to diffuse that point.

Sorry, but you got it wrong, the real money is in the locking tariff ... ;)
The simple answer to that is that the advertisers pay you to show ads to EU users because they want to get money from EU users; so these advertisers are/have to be GDPR compliant, especially if they're using user information to target ads, and they'll have to be sure that this user information is legal for them to use.

The advertising networks are clearly doing business in EU as they're getting paid by these advertisers - so all the major advertising networks will have to be GDPR compliant. So in this regard, the ads (and user info used for these ads) shown to EU users will (in practice) have to be GDPR compliant even if your site doesn't care about it, because everyone who'd want to pay for these ads has to be compliant.
We got WASM instead, which I'd argue is much better than support for a specific language, which would lock you in and prevent you from taking advantage of new programming language research.
Ahh, well that I can get behind IF they are in congested traffic because one of the big advantages of driverless cars is mine can drop me off at work then go park in a charging garage across town. I wouldn't want to be taxed for my car driving on a wide-open road to a more efficient location.
For consumers yes. But I understand that Facebook might not like it since it goes against their business case.
It depends on certification, its level, market demand, scarcity of specialists.

I am currently preparing for AWS and GCP architect/engineering certs and I find preparations as some way to solidify my years of knowledge and experience in the field. I think also certification is good way to be recognized in consulting market, especially as I work remotelly from nearshore country.

My friend last year obtained AEM Developer certification and with proper self-promotion he got flooded with queries and his rate doubled overnight. He got years of prior AEM experience.

I find popular certs like Scrum or entry Java certs valuable today mostly for junior level specialists to get foot in the door easier. However for experienced engineers a proven track record and a network is more benefitial.

Also, some big companies and govement agencies recognize or even require contractors to be certified in given technology.
The numbers do not support your claims. It seems that China by far catches the most seafood.

Here’s the press release announcing the new control from December.

> People gave us feedback that they would find it easier to manage face recognition through a simple setting, so we’re pairing these tools with a single “on/off” control. If your tag suggestions setting is currently set to “none,” then your default face recognition setting will be set to “off” and will remain that way until you decide to change it.

I pay 30 USD for 16 gig ram 6 TB hdd and high end I7.
Its cheaper then buying the hardware and running it at my home. EC would cost me 130$ just for the instance excluding the 6TB space. So far my server has more then 1000 days uptime 0 problems.
Also if you have 1 instance in a cloud or 1 instance on a dedi you should still have backup plans in place. Cloud is good for variable load, defenitly not for constant load. Also you get dedi's with san storage if all you care about is storage.
Maybe they use some sort of locality-sensitive hash to efficiently gather a set of (approximate) candidates that are close by in that embedding space, and then use some heuristics to further narrow down who the most probable match is.
No, the efficacy of the direct GL canvas native bindings and the view composition architecture are why it's efficient. Yes, there's little runtime language overhead because it's AOT compiled, but that alone wouldn't cause it to win over another AOT compiled mobile device strategy, such as an AOT xamarin project. (And all the other points in that article apply equally to xamarin, for example; and some are just opinion like the xml vs code for layout debate) I'm sorry, but I don't see how any of flutter's real performance wins are truly tied to its' choice of language, and it's a competitive market. I'll be happy if I'm proven wrong in a year or two's time, however.

Still, the fact that these exceptions exist is a clear sign that the authors of the document did not see these as rights at all, but rather revocable privileges. In practical terms, you don't need a written constitution to uphold rights, and having one does not guarantee that rights are upheld—but if you're going to go to the trouble of defining rights in a written constitution, you shouldn't include an insidious "escape hatch" which undermines those rights by claiming that they can legitimately be infringed "for a good cause". Rights, as opposed to privileges, are unconditional and cannot legitimately be infringed under any circumstance.
But (manifestations of easily usable) energy should be the most vulnerable to Jevons effects, because it has so many potential uses that that any increase in efficiency will flip some marginal case into profitability. Ditto for lower prices.
Not quite. GDPR applies to you, a US entity, if you do business with an EU citizen trading in dollars living in the US.
So if I ignore a law in Canada or the EU (extradition request, default judgement, etc) as an officer of a corporation, I wouldn't get arrested when I show up on the border? Really?

This is fascinating to think about, and easy to understand. Thanks. I'd like to read a book on this subject written a similar manner. I remember trying to read The Fabric of the Cosmos as a leisure reading book (I like nonfiction) but it got super tedious halfway through and I had to put it down.
We have a bunch of teams that jumped from Confluence to Slite simply because they actually went from opening Confluence every month or so to using Slite daily.

The reason behind that is Slite's UX and the fact we have designed the tool since day 1 to hold not only "wikis" but also meeting notes, specs, interview, snippets and so on.
Not to mention they only banned words whose predominant circulation is among uninformed media and those whose only association with firearms is that same media. Google decided "gun" was dangerous, but not "firearm", "AR", "556", "Saint", or "Ruger".

Consider this: Google blocked the search of Burgundy wine, but not the simple search for "556" that returns a result for 2,000 rounds of ammunition in the caliber most AR-15s take [1]. They almost absolutely could not demonstrate greater ignorance or incompetence, or a greater desire to make a toothless and ineffective political statement.

And it adds to the already high level of churn in the UI development arena. Dart is a perfectly fine language but is it noticeably better than Kotlin? To use Flutter I have to learn a new framework, a new language, and rewrite pretty much all my app infrastructure that currently runs on the JVM.
