I would suggest 200A service as a bare minimum, with 400A being ideal (this will be heavily dependent on your electric utility service entrance). Consider two EVs, HVAC loads, and possibly electric water heaters, clothes dryers, and a stove. Also, NEC 80% derating (100A circuit required for an 80A 100% duty cycle load).

The electrician's time is the most expensive part; oversize for decisions such as these (load center, EV run to outlet, subpanels, etc).
Link analysis of criminal organizations is something literally every detective knows how to do. I don't understand the difficulty here unless they think finding good marketing candidates on Instagram is anything like a criminal investigation.

Cops keep track of your associations (hence why they can no longer force you to show them the contents of your phone; your contact history is juicy intel that used to reveal lots of links!). Modern technology just makes it easier.
Ask HN: “Keep track of your keys” – How do you keep track of your Redis keys?
I'm involved in a fairly large codebase that is using Redis extensively. One of the advantages that structured database have is that the tooling for documenting the "schema" of the data is well defined within the engines.

As our codebase grows, it comes more and more difficult to properly document the key schemes we are using for all parts of the application.

I'm curious to see what other teams have come up with to nail solid documentation for their redis keys.

I think I subconsciously fell in love with Python because of something a bit silly... the bias towards keywords over symbols.

I think there's some pattern recognition routine in my head that convinces itself we're reading prose, based on the ratio of words to symbols, so it feels comfortable for a amateur hobbyist like me.

I know "bias towards keywords" isn't a functional language feature, but I think it is a nice UX.

Of course, then I learned about generators and decorators in Python... Those are fun too.
True! That being said, using the Vanguard website is... significantly different from using the RH app.
It depends on whether the connotations of "evil" remain attached to the word, vs. "seriously dangerously malfunctioning".
My local high-school was also the wider area's sink-school that kids got expelled into from other schools, though there wasn't any way of particularly escaping, should you just happen to be going there anyway. Anyway, the transport arrangements for some of the kids was a nightmare.

edit - also, from my observation, concentrating all the nutters under one roof does not really help, if your aim is educational. It just takes a lot of little problems across a lot of schools and turns them into one big unmanageable problem that can be politely ignored.
The spread is generally on the order of a cent.
>Unfortunately IBMs history doesn't really provide any evidence of their current competency.

I gave current examples of competency. Its trivial to find others. In any case, my point was merely to differenciate services from products, so I'm not sure what you were replying to anyway.

The beer bottle case is explained in the article:
"Take a beer bottle or an upturned glass and send it spinning down a table: if it rotates to the right, clockwise, it will curl to the left; if it rotates to the left, it will curl to the right. That’s because the bottle, as it moves forward, also tips forward slightly, adding weight to the leading edge. More weight means more friction."

I guess a heavy curling stone with a lower center of gravity and on a slippery surface would'nt tilt forward like a bottle.

Came back to this thread to see if someone had written an enlightening rebuttal of GP rather than downvoting him.
Compared to 98?

- DBIx::Class instead of DBI is a huge change; even DBI was reasonably new back then, with people still using MySQL.pm

- Moose and Moo over everything being hand-roled. I remember in 98 trying to convince people to use OO at all for anything.

- The testing ecosystem is very different / much improved, and people actually write them?

- People are really using strict, "use warnings" is a thing instead of -w

- Catalyst/Mojolicious/Dancer on Plack instead of mod_perl being cutting edge; even then, most stuff in '98 was CGI, with CGI.pm being luxury as opposed to people rolling parameter parsing by hand

- There were still many many many CPAN deniers in '98

- UTF8 and Unicode is actually a thing now, rather than an after-thought

etc
Depending on how much you twist the logic, there IS a semblance of an ideal of "doing them a favor and sparing them the evils of the world". Not defending, but to the truly hopeless it probably provides some weighting for the decision making.
160 amps alone is more than standard house connect. In any case you will likely be charging overnight, and then given the time available pumping 80 amps into your precious depreciating battery is a great way to make it lose lots of value, quick.

What people need in their garage is 20 amps for the trickle charge to replenish the 30 miles lost from their commute and some grocery shopping overnight.
After putting up panels at my relatively modest house, I’m honestly surprised at the kind of juice I can produce. I’m ready to convert everything I have to electricity
Does the amount of dividend need to be the cost of one share?

If so, with VTI trading at $140, you would need about 250 shares to buy a share with each dividend.
If that's the target audience, then I see Airtable failing also. Surely 80% of the benefit of an excel spreadsheet, or google sheets, for a common user is how bare bones and simple to navigate the two products are?

"Oh hey, I just need to fire off some data rapidly in an organized way. Boop, done." And that's the trick, isn't it? The need to rapidly organize previously un-organized data. It's not a case of, "I know exactly how I want to rapidly organize some data."

With Airtable, it would be "I now have to navigate this decoupled spread out GUI and learn what all these abstract terms mean, when all I want to do is calculate how much we spent on ice cream last month."

In essence, it is making the workflow slower for those types of people.

On the other end of the spectrum, from a programmer's point of view, GUI's ALWAYS slow things down. This is why programmers who used VIM / Emacs were faster than those using modern IDE's. It's why hot-keys are important to both technical and non-technical workers. Presentation does not equal productivity. The presentation is what Airtable is pushing as the abstraction for non-technical users.

If the target audience for Airtable is instead small-business startups - then those startups are going to be in for a world of hurt when they need to get into real business development. They will have wasted time, energy, and resources to get set up on a lego platform that they'll need to migrate away from.

Looking at the pricing model and data limitations, there's nothing that would make this a better choice than just hooking up to AWS or something similar, directly. Using Airtable would require maintaining some form of middleware for SPA's...and there's no way in the world that you wouldn't be hitting their caps rapidly. Just an extra cost.

I'm not saying this product won't work well for a market niche, but that niche is a lot smaller than the buzz words thrown around in today's publications.
When I had upgraded service run to my 1923 house, I ran 200 amps to the detached garage and 200 amps to the house. The extra cost vs a smaller service is marginal.
With the comparison the original code would be half the size if you just removed the comments.

The Vanguard website/experience is definitely not that user-friendly/modern. That's the main reason I usually recommend Betterment to my friends instead.
Oh... well thanks for doing that! It was a minor inconvenience for me running with an older kernel for a bit. My keyboard doesn't have lighted keys and I've never had any issues with the touchpad, so I guess there must be some variance in those parts...
Yes, this is actually pretty surprising in the hindsight is 20/20 way. I disagree that FoxPro was great, it had too many bugs and issues for that, but the 'concept of FoxPro' was indeed great.

Indeed, he was part of a team that built rockets. I even said his role was unclear to me. Can you link to any document detailing his involvement?

Edit: Please don't take this as a diss on his work. Just because one didn't play a role in designing the rockets, doesn't mean they were not crucial to the project.
It was fairly clear from the beginning that these were "pedestrian" (I can't think a better term right now) security flaws that were dressed up to be super-ultra-scary. I would like to believe that this will cause security researchers to maybe hesitate longer before assigning catchy names to new security flaws.
When have we not been on the verge of a “mass species extinction” event on our blue dot? Also, I believe it was a mass extinction that allowed us homo erectus to thrive.
I’m not sure how I feel about this piece. The last paragraph is a quote from [edit: a friend of] the professor’s ex-wife asking us not to glorify him, and instead to honor the children he’s murdered. And yet the first half of the piece is all about the value of the professor’s work; the children’s names aren’t even mentioned until the very end. I understand that the author only knew the professor in the context of his work, but to me the tone of this piece seems to go exactly against the wife’s wishes. Others may disagree of course.
That's pretty much a description of a chunk of process re-engineering gigs, and even with the data, metadata, domain experts, meetings, and documentation, the results are a struggle to obtain, so any solution will need to set some appropriate expectations. You might find some traction looking into automated ontology building, which has some promising tangents. But I think expecting any black box approach to yield high-fidelity results will end in tears, so there has to be more than just the schema'd data.

For some kinds of data like account numbers, phone numbers, names, and addresses, it is possible to envision some kind of algo. But that's not where the interesting action happens. After working with lots of application developers over the years, I've learned they cram the damndest bits of information into databases, and it's dangerous to make assumptions about how they use the data (whether temporally, structurally, computationally, *etc.). Sometimes with absolutely no rhyme or reason to what or why, either; the rationale and logic is embedded entirely in front of the database within the application code.

Without access to that code, even process re-engineering teams are flummoxed at just understanding a schema, not to speak of porting it. So I find it challenging to envision a scenario where inspecting only the data can yield better results; by the time we're restricting ourselves to only the data, and only at a snapshot in time, we've lost too many bits of information, and the resolution of the solution is too coarse-grained to be universally useful. As we add more inspection time, more fine-grained snapshots, and more kinds of data however, resolution goes up; the real question becomes just how much is needed to generate a MVP.
Well he did cite a study showing that people were more productive using Word than LaTeX. That's a very good justification assuming it's factually accurate and the productivity gap is meaningful.

Most of his complaints about how hard it is to use LaTeX seem absurd, but that doesn't mean he isn't experiencing them or that they aren't common among less technical users.
But why? What’s the point? ELI5 please.
I'm not sure if I have parsed this correctly. My understanding of stop and frisk is that there is a significant racial bias involved. To me this seems like part of the prediction. In my mind both aspects of stop and frisk are problematic.
No, they allow fractional shares. Source: https://investor.vanguard.com/investing/brokerage-dividend-r...

"When reinvesting dividends, Vanguard Brokerage Services combines the cash distributions from the accounts of all clients who have requested reinvestment in the same security, and then uses that combined total to purchase additional shares of the security in the open market. Vanguard Brokerage will attempt to purchase the reinvestment shares by entering a market order at the market opening on the payable date. The new shares are divided proportionately among the clients' accounts, in whole and fractional shares rounded to three decimal places. If the total purchase can't be completed in one trade, clients will receive shares purchased at the weighted average price paid by Vanguard Brokerage Services."
If you didn't put a battery in at install time, there's a recent IRS determination suggesting [1] you can still receive the 30% tax credit if the battery is installed at a later date. I would highly recommend pulling the trigger right before the tax credit begins its phase out at the end of 2019, assuming costs come down further between now and then.

The caveat is that your system must charge the battery from your panels, and cannot charge from the utility (trivial inverter setting). With that said, based on net metering laws in most locales, it behooves you to consume as much of your own production as possible. Exceptions abound.

IB just started offering some kind of debit card. I don't use it, but I keep getting notifications from them about it.
I love the business model of taking the old-school industry and offer the basic use for free with slick UI and modern look. WOnder if this model can be applied to other fields.
My reply/argument is this:

This post has just disrupted the previous HN top post of all time.

I would have used the black bar this time around.

However, as it's such a source of contention, I can see not using it on this post, to set precedent for not using it.

Incidentally my last account (https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=i336_) ended up closed on this issue (you'll need showdead turned on to see its last comments). By "closed" I mean I said "okay I need a break" and set noprocrast to a high number due to there being no documentation about what the number represented (I thought it meant seconds, learned the hard way it meant hours!).

> A close friend of Ruckman’s ex-wife — the boys’ mother — reached out to me with a plea.

Awkwardly worded, but it wasn't the ex-wife that was quoted, but her friend.
> You’re not going to get the best price.

That's FUD (and I'm an Interactive Brokers user). That sort of routing flashes your trade to groups before it hits the exchange, and they have the option to take it. By regulation they can only take it at or better than top of book price. If they don't take it, it will hit the exchange.

Look, Interactive Brokers is a great brokerage. Very usable software and API, best in class commissions and margin rates, and you get direct routing and their smart router works pretty good too from what I understand. But don't oversell it by bashing RH.
While I agree with you in general here I'm not convinced that Palantir is actually smarter than a detective.

You clearly don't understand the world of video game programmers.

As Alaskan Waters Warm, Market Squid Extend Their Reach Northward
I don't pretend to understand the mindset of a suicide-murderer, but I'll make a guess. Perhaps they are in pain due to mental illness and want to end their life. The guilt of their children living without them is preventing them from moving ahead with their plan. By ending their children's life, it allows them to be free of that guilt and commits them to a course of action where they will end their own life.
That why Depression and suicide is classified as a mental illness. These people are sick, their comprehension of themselves and the world around them is broken.

The reason you dont understand why or how someone could do such heinous actions is that YOU'RE NOT broken.
Index funds aren't just boring, there is something morally abhorrent about simply investing in everything that has done well enough to be in an index fund. At that rate, why not invest in government bonds, given that the government gets whatever share it wants of literally every penny that goes through commerce in any capacity? If you want security, why invest in anything other than the government?

I admire people for investing their money actively instead of in an index.

It is the closest you can come to the capitalist spirit without actually doing anything. (Not a slight - not everyone needs to "do something" in the sense of starting a business - but being an active investor is very close to the same.)

Actively investing takes guts and a kind of entrepreneurial risk-taking.

If you're looking to buy things or exploring new interests in general, there are great niche subreddits. For example, when I was interested in a vacuum cleaner, /r/VacuumCleaners/ was really helpful. /r/goodyearwelt/ was a really nice niche when I was exploring high-end footwear. When I was looking for a new fitness routine, /r/bodyweightfitness/ was useful.

It's not perfect, but /r/NeutralPolitics/ is worth keeping an eye on. It's an attempt to provide a platform to share facts and debate civilly.
Python. Just because of the community. There are amazing developers involved in every bit of the Python community, from machine learning libraries to web frameworks :)

It's hard to find a problem that only has one Python library that solves it. Most of the time you have a dozen, and half of those are maintained better than I'd ever expect.
Of particular concern to some was the use of Palantir as a tool that could aid investigators both in connecting suspected gang members to others in the community, and in identifying people deemed at high risk of either committing gun violence or being the victim of it.

Shame. Guilt. Desperation.

If I offed myself, life insurance wouldn't pay out. Savings wouldn't replace my earnings for long. I'd be abandoning my family, forcing my wife and kids to fend for themselves, basically forcing her to marry for money, and quickly. My kids would always have to live with the knowledge that I killed myself instead of being there for them.

The answer to this for some might be to just kill them all and spare them such an outlook.
Thanks for the clarification, that makes this a bit less distasteful.
