Wyden is way too deep in with Google, anyone who shows up on this list is particularly suspect: http://valleywag.gawker.com/these-letters-reveal-which-congr...

Specifically, the above are Congressmen who wrote letters begging the EU not to go after Google for antitrust, all of whom have significant financial investment from the company. I would say anyone on this list isn't an "advocate for citizens".

Warren, on the other hand, has picked up a reasonable amount of money from them, but her corporate contributions are a bit more balanced, Google's further down on the list, and her words and actions speak for themselves: http://time.com/4390274/elizabeth-warren-apple-google-amazon...

Warren's quite a bit further liberal than I am, but given the chance, she'd probably get my vote over most other people on the political spectrum.

They compared Radi to React Stack, not React Fiber. That's being sneaky.

We do mob programming for my current project, once a week, for about two hours. It is most useful for new features where people can get design paralysis, we've found. The benefit of familiarity are tremendous. The mobs have a topology, though - you can't just pull someone in from the other side of the office and say "alright John let's get rollin'". On the other hand, Architects (and other technical leaders) are good mob drop-ins. They ought to be looking at my code base anyway.

It has also helped achieve coherency in design patterns, stylistic differences (which we also use tools to enforce), and testing practices.

I get the kneejerk reaction of "it's hip or buzzwordy" but this is one that has worked well for us.

There was a time when you could reliably say "I'll just wait for it to come out on Netflix." It was an expectation that led a ton of friends to sign up. I am talking about the streaming service. I just left Netflix because it's so far from what the service is now.
I ordered a typewriter - for some reason it makes this easier for me.

For me I think it's a few things: feeling of security, knowing no pw leak or other hack will reveal my thoughts, the immediate gratification of seeing my thoughts on paper, and lastly a dedicated machine that I associate with the task and doesn't allow me to wander.
Yes it was. I used an Amiga with a Commodore monitor and while it was a lot better than any TV or other composite monitor, the interlacing was still noticeable and people's eyes would go wonky staring at that for eight hours a day.

NASA mission to the Sun: Solar probe will carry your names into the sun
I think this might understate the problems Spotify has. Their earnings reports are public and they are, as the author says, at the mercy of the record labels. If Spotify has an unusually profitable quarter, the labels are simply going to take that as a sign that they set their fees too low, and they're going to rectify that mistake. It doesn't matter what costs they cut, it doesn't matter how they increase their profits, the labels are going to see themselves as entitled to that surplus.

I poked around some web searching, and it seems viable. From what I read, it does schematic and layout, using Eagle (which means you need the paid version of Eagle if your board is over 10cm in either direction). It doesn't do column wiring [based on a web post, not first-hand experience], but it gets close enough that you could probably finish by hand or with help on a forum or reddit. There were a few posts where people proposed porting it to produce KiCAD or other EDA tool output, but I didn't readily find any "I'm finished; here it is" posts along those development lines.

You still need to buy the parts and solder everything up, but for one-off, that's mostly a bit tedium, so this seems doable if you're somewhat dedicated and the type to find a way around or over small obstacles. The microcontroller and firmware for something constrained like this is almost assuredly a solved problem, so I wouldn't worry much about that [though it's something you need to chase down, of course].

But you're right, there's still enough specialized knowledge that there's no real "thingiverse equivalent" (of similar community size) for PCBs.

Taleb has a lot of disdain for the LTCM guys:

"Mr Taleb argues convincingly that the spectacular collapse in 1998 of Long-Term Capital Management was caused by the inability of the hedge fund's managers to see a world that lay outside their flawed models. And yet those models are still widely used today."

"By many’s reckoning, LTCM both defined and emboldened Nassim Taleb. The episode was a microcosm of everything he eventually stood for and against. His resentment against economists grew. He became convinced that they totally do not understand risk. He saw the fragility of the financial system and how dependent the entire ecosystem is on one another. He became disgusted when LTCM fund managers, despite the damage they have done, walked away from the fiasco relatively unscathed and went on to start more funds. He became the biggest advocate of having Skin in the Game."
I'm not a frontend developer and don't know really know JavaScript frameworks. That said, it seems like something very well established like React would choose to have a virtual DOM for a good reason.

Surely there must be some tradeoffs that the author makes for his design to get better performance. Could somebody explain the cost/benefit of doing things one way versus the other?

Primo Levi told a similar story about tracking down the source of a lacquer recipe when he was working at a paint factory. There was a point in the recipe where the instructions called for adding half an onion into the vat of lacquer. As a chemist, he was fascinated by this because he could not think of any way the chemicals in the onion, in that quantity, could affect the end product. He eventually found a retired employee living nearby who was able to explain that the onion was used to check the temperature of the lacquer. When the onion started to bubble, the mixture was hot enough to proceed to the next step. By the time Primo Levi was working at the plant in the 1940s, the plant had upgraded to modern equipment with integrated temperature gauges, but the onion remained in the recipe.
You're right that this clearly does suck for China. But I was wondering why we should think it endangers other countries.

Personally, I am trying to develop molecular cryptography, so that genetic data can be protected even if, theoretically, we cannot trust our computers.
Probably my favorite anecdote about the grid synchronization behavior is that the generator governor settings (e.g. how to react to changes in frequency) were developed early in the 100 year+ history of the grid, and now we don’t fully understand why the settings were chosen to be what they are, and all the engineers who developed them are long dead.

Now that a bunch of wind and solar is being added to the grid with completely different control schemes, there’s a lot of concern about whether the system will continue to stay reliably synced.

All that means is that official GS procedures do not instruct them to do it.

I think you have to just make these things concrete by asking yourself specific questions. Live in the moment and take an assessment. Have you tried to be a morning person? This probably requires going to bed early and waking up early and probably limiting food after 5pm and caffeine before noon. Possibly limiting alcohol etc... Do you have to commute a long distance to work? Do you like company and seek people out? Do you call people? Do you visit other places? Do you look forward visiting other places? For work, do you find yourself getting irritable, overworked? Are you looking forward to a vacation? Do you have some kind of balance (gym, friends, family?) Do you work 12 hours a day on a project going nowhere? Do you like your work, your coworkers? I also wouldn't say that your personality is necessarily defined by these things either. I think personality has a couple aspects and is by definition multi-dimensional and changeable. It can defined by you to yourself and that as it appears to others. It easy to see personality evolve from little kids to adults. Perhaps you are searching and that's ok. I think you just have to find things that work for you and work for your goals.
Indeed this is a good project. And a great set of books. I second this!!!!

For what it's worth, most people in a given district like their Congressmen quite a bit, which is why they tend to stick around a while. As the world continues to wonder sometimes why people like Mitch McConnell keep getting re-elected... it's because, well, the majority of people in Kentucky seem to like him.
I like how their statement leaves wide open the possibility that after the sale of the machine, they install and use the remote software themselves. Say as part of a support package.
I would have put a small space (\,) between the upright "det" and the matrix. An integral sign is usually followed by a negative small space (\!) and the "dx" is separated by a small space (\,).

Trouble is I'm not sure if these are absolute rules. I'm sure you can find pathological cases where the spacing will be wrong. Maybe the best thing would be to allow the user to modify the spacing easily after the automatic version is made.

I trust you guys have read the TeXBook? Knuth dedicates two chapters to subtleties of mathematical typesetting.
For me, it's potentially very bad.

Though I personally have an unmetered 100Mbps connection, my target market(s) for what I develop, are people who are very data sensitive.

A 7MB Hello World file might mean that my app with the world, universe and everything I need, might be bigger. It'd be great if y = m(x) + 7MB with a gentle gradient, but I'm already starting off bad.

I tried creating a hello world with most of the dependencies that I think I would need, but most couldn't load, so I don't know what size a specimen app could be.

Either way, a 15MB download for someone in my radar would mean them not installing the app. One also shouldn't underestimate how many phones in developing countries barely have enough space left. Google Play seems to need minimum 500MB for me to install/update apps on my high-end phone, so it might be dire for lower-end devices.

People still get "compensated" for reporting to the authorities a sighting of a [wanted] criminal, so long that it leads to the capture of said criminal. This could be a similar case. If the device was turned in for a hard drive migration, for instance, and the employees stumbled upon this nightmarish content, I see nothing wrong with them (the employees) reporting it to the authorities. As a result, the authorities could have paid them [individually] a bounty.
They use it for the AdWords mobile app. That's pretty much as business critical as it gets for Google.

In many respects China has had a hands off approach by the world. They have high tariffs and other laws that prevent Western products and services competing in China. I'm no fan of trade wars, or a fan of Trump, but raising the tariffs on China for steel imports is nothing China isn't already doing.

> But election officials and cyber experts say it's virtually impossible for Moscow or some other outside group to influence the election outcome.

> Hackers could create mischief -- some say "chaos" -- but the election system is resilient enough to withstand shocks.

And this

> Rumors of hacking -- even if not successful -- could undermine faith in the election and play into a losing politician's claim that the election was "rigged.

Even Obama went out of his way to claim that this is impossible, smh. Its funny how this went from "cannot be hacked" to "myth".

Surely these politicians were doing no grilling when they thought their side was winning.

Same old politicians doing partisan crap. I wonder if there would have been HN comments claiming republicans senators are heroes for "grilling" had Hillary won.

I have not reached out to them. Their book was already published so they probably don’t care.

I don’t know the actual difference in efficiency, but from experience I can tell you that:

1) forestry waste is much easier to load into a reactor and handle in an automated way than crop waste. I’ve actually not seen a functional materials handling system for crop residues at the 1 ton per day or greater scale. These are common in forestry waste.

2) Feedstock needs to be bone dry before it will pyrolyze into biochar. It takes more energy to dry crop waste than forestry residue.
The human brain could work the same as memristors. Memristors gets harder to charge as they get full. Ie in the analogy that a young brain can easily learn things but it gets harder to learn things the older the person as the brain is full of information.

One also observes the same in AI that the AI learns more in the first evolutions.

Also the same in Spaced repetition such as Anki and Memrise. Anki and Memrise software must some how know of the forgetting curve.

There are other examples (however imperfect) where this dynamic exists without it having a continuously negative effect on margins. Apple/iTunes doesn't seem to be called out as having a ton of risk in this area despite similar dynamics. Cable companies/satellite TV/radio for other industry examples.

Not saying it isn't a risk, just that there are accepted strategies for protecting profits as a distribution channel.
