Occam's razor says the investment pays off, not all investors have issues with the placebo business.
90% is going to be in ideal conditions; probably not quite at full load, but not much below.

If you are using it to power a very light load, the efficiency will be much worse, as it takes a minimum amount of energy to run the inverter.

Well, you also have no idea how much some parents hurt their children, from beatings and abuse to sexual stuff...

As said by others, there are differences. Also, I set Whatsapp to never receive my location data.

But yeah, the networking effect is real. Whatsapp is what everyone uses, so far it seems like a decent compromise based on end-to-end encryption.

"This gap is troublesome to you? FUCK. YOU. I had some money aside and decided to take it easy for once, and not rush back to the petty corporate word where people roll their eyes when I take 3 weeks for Christmas. If you can't fathom that, I'm going to get my skills elsewhere."
Awesome! I'm still unsure as to whether I'll pursue the program, or whether I'd aim for the Master's of the Bachelor's level. I definitely want a strong grounding in the basics before pursuing more advanced studies though.

Seems like he feels better about himself having money living around middle class people rather than feeling middle class living around people with more money than he does.
The problem with social media is that it isn't social. Telling me which article to read isn't social. Showing me someone's status isn't social. Posting a tweet and getting 2 likes is not social. Commenting on HN is probably the closest thing to social because someone might actually interact with me.

If you have all this data, make my life more fulfilling. I get more community out of IRC than I do on any of the major social media sites. They are really just media sites.
So, if this is all to be believed and we link it with what else is known, elements within the oldest of the Old Guard at the top of UK politics, alongside the Putin oligarchy and some US billionaires who align with the Dark Enlightenment orthodoxy, are deliberately destabilising the US political system, trying to break up the EU, while actively undermining hundreds of other democratic systems around the world.

I really started to wonder what the hell was going on when right wingers started shouting the anti-globalist slogans of the late '90s left wing anarchist movement, as that clearly was an agenda that was unlikely to have organically transferred. A group of billionaires wanting to rule openly over balkanised microstates, in opposition to the globalising efforts of the liberal free marketeer billionaires, was one though that kept coming back to me. And look, here they all are.

The challenge with all GA work is finding the right fitness function. If you don't understand your domain well enough to define a good fitness function you're going to be wasting your time, and no amount of algorithmic and/or AI magic is going to help you.
Right: With high irony, top management believed that their special abilities were in marketing and not technology, but, except for marketing cash cow mainframes to big customers locked in due to their unique applications software, the marketing was awful while the technology was terrific. As I started with, IBM was a sick culture.

Is Youtube going to ban the many 80% lower videos? Will they ban my reloading video? I'm a Youtube Red subscriber (I hate commercials). I think it's about time I canceled my subscription.

Hell, at least they think a high capacity magazine is > 30 rounds. That won't last long. Soon it will be anything > 5 rounds.
When I grew up, I was bussed an hour a way when I had a far nicer school in walking distance. And then a far worse school a 5 minute drive.

Logic and school districts don't usually have anything to do with one another.
Well yes, I do consider being widely accessible as a measure of culture. Without arguing over exact establishments, I will say IMO El Chico and El Fenix do not represent good tex mex. They represent the chained version of tex mex (which isn't good in my book). This is what Dallas loves to do and a reason I don't think the food culture is very good here. It's always corporate, with an eye toward expansion. Good food cultures tend to be locally owned, chef driven. There are a few bright spots (Lucia comes to mind).

Are you from Dallas? If so, I think your bias is likely too strong to sense how good this food culture is. Everyone I meet that grew up here thinks it's a great food culture just because there are a ton of restaurants and they are mostly pretty good. But, coming from Houston/Austin, I see;

1) too many chains (not a problem alone, but generally correlates to poor execution/quality)
2) restaurants rarely change their menus (good chefs change their menus!)
3) lacking depth of cuisine (we're not as international of a city as we think we are: the ethnic food options are lacking, there are some and I've seen improvements but generally people just want more burgers and more steaks)
4) we are copy cats; if you travel to other cities with good food culture it's easy to see food trends a year before they reach Dallas - I think this is related to not being chef driven, our restaurants have executive chefs that design a menu once a year, they are not driving new trends)

How to Get Solid Sleep in Tech-Driven Times
This is great, although I'll probably stick with Travis & Appveyor for my open source project since Gitlab.com currently only has Linux runners.

All three currently have two big flaws IMO though:

1. They all use YAML which is an awful, unintuitive format.

2. The only way to test a configuration is to commit it and push it. Why is there no way to paste a config file in their website and run that?

Hopefully one day we'll get a CI system that supports Windows, Linux and OSX and has a sane config format, and free minutes for open source projects. A man can dream!

No, USA is not the only country where different groups of people live and feel isolated. India have more diverse groups of people than anywhere else. Language, culture, cast, religion, economy. It's divide from every possible way.

Lot of those groups hate each other. Many of them have lower status in society. And millions of people there have mental issues. People don't give shit about mental health there. If guns become normal there, it would be catastrophic.
I have been asking for this features for eternity, but now Firefox has changed a little may be there is a chance this might get consider again.

How about making this, Record, Profile, and Submission procedure built in. Button Accessible within 3-4 clicks.
The amount of work required to get all these done and submitted is not easy especially for average users. I do a lot in my most enthusiastic days ( Mostly for Memshrink ), but after Memshrink I couldn't be bother much, unless the bug is annoying enough that persist.
When I think of "authentic" Tex-Mex, I think of El Fenix in Dallas. They certainly have a long (in American terms) and interesting history[1] with that cuisine. My favorite comfort food, especially during cold weather, is their Mexican Dinner with tamales, chili con carne, and a cheese enchilada.

In my humble opinion, this should be the task of the browser, not the task of every site that links somewhere.

Moreover, I always mute the speakers of my computer, for exactly that reason. When I do want sound, I usually connect my headset or an external speaker. The computer's speakers remain muted. In the rare cases where I do want to use the computer's speakers, I unmute them, and mute them when I'm finished. This is so seldom that it's not a big deal.

Back to browsers, I wonder why those implemented auto-play for videos in the first place. More specifically: I wonder why they auto-play audio, as I don't see that issue with animated GIFs. Moving ads are annoying, but not remotely as bad as an unexpected sound.

The upcoming Firefox versions are very promising in that regard:

"Block video auto-play: Firefox will provide users with a way to block video auto-play that doesn't break websites." https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Roadmap

"Implement new autoplay policy" https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1382574
Yes-history arcs towards justice. I believe the 60s counterculture was mostly a reaction to the “stuffiness” (and Vietnam), but that sentiment is a lot harder to illustrate with examples.
In music, evolution produced Bach, so it can't really be considered a failure.

It took a while though, and it's possible alternative approaches would have been produced a similar result more efficiently.
>but the concept is that if researchers are carrying it out properly it doesn't matter what their personal beliefs are. You start out with a hypothesis, design an experiment, and it either proves you right or wrong.

Yeah, but note how this presupposes that its equally easy to "carry it out properly" in either case.

Whereas what I say is that

(a) it's less likely for biased researchers to carry their research out properly (I say less likely, not impossible).

(b) so for that, we should try to have less research from biased researchers

(That's because I don't think that "(c) biased researchers should try more to handle their research properly" is an option -- because of how bias works, biased researchers will always be more prone to not handling their research properly).
It might affect short wave propagation and things like atmospheric electricity.
fair enough, don't know why I lump all the "olds" together like that. There has to be a better name for them than the dial-up generation. I grew up with dial-up and I'm not that old.
Before the price can drop like that, it needs to become a systemic risk first. Meaning I think it will first still go up significantly before coming down.
Jeez, just because they make money doesn't mean they should be expected to pay taxes. It's an outrage, I tell ya.

"the most self-satisfied, stuffy, racist and misogynistic societies possible."

Ha! You apparently don't know much about the rest of the world or of human history. Go open a textbook or read the news to find out what sort of societies are really "possible".

Considering the 60s were a time when society was remaking itself by overthrowing millennia of acceptable practice - do you think that's easy? - it would be silly to expect change to happen overnight. Societies don't exist in a vacuum.
Note that today you can use the public hosted GL service and mirror a GH repo, and trigger GL CI when new commits arrive.

I had similar issues, but found it was my TreeStyleTabs extensions consuming all of my CPU. When I disabled the extension the issue went away. Could it be an extension that was causing issues?
I really want to try GitLab, but I can't log in to their service with oAuth using Google as a provider. I get a 422. I brought this up with GitLab's support, and they essentially told me it was my fault and doing something wrong with JS or something. It's just me clicking on links on their page, wtf.

The interaction with their support was enough to turn me away from their service if that's the type of help they provide.
I just don't have speakers plugged into my work machine. When I rarely need to listen to something at the office I'll just plug in headphones.
A short while ago (eh, just noticed this was over a year ago...) I did a comparison between different testing solutions for all projects within the IPFS organization.

I lived in Austin. Now I live in Mexico, various parts, and I'd say that Austin has a very short supply of Mexican food.

But there are people who will always prefer Torchy's bizarre tacos over a legit taqueria you'd find in E Riverside or wherever. And they didn't enjoy some of the best tacos I could take them to in Guadalajara. But I would never conclude that Austin's food is better from that sort of experience.
When there was holes in coverage, I easily paid 10k in a year without major events. I switched to just paying a flat rate for the most coverage, so I pay up front. I think I pay what, 400 a month for 85% coverage. I'm paying quite a bit of that 10k up front, and if anything happens it's mostly covered.

That's organisational debt, which is a prime cause of technical debt.

It reliably fascinates me that in spite of more than a century of history, management culture lacks both words and concepts for many common and predictable organisational failure modes.
Have you tried CircleCI? I've found it really straightforward to use in a lot of the same ways you mention, except for perhaps the docker support -- it uses docker images and you can of course have a docker image that supports docker, but it doesnt upload to dockerhub out of the box.

I'm curious to know how the two compare because I haven't tried Gitlab before.
the wasm work is official and is being mainlined (https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-63917). I have a ~300kloc Qt app that compiles and runs with extremely few changes not related to Qt (but for now crashes after a bit of clicking).
I hate it that Gitlab is focusing too much on all these project-management features, while neglecting the basic code review features such as commenting on a block of code, or making a review session instead of creating individual comments, or the ability to blame previous revisions of a file

You've changed from “perfect” to “representative"; while quintessence can mean either, the latter makes little sense with “the” [0] only “a”, the former makes perfect sense with “the” to refer to the concrete example best approximating an abstract ideal, and this is exactly how the construction “the quintessential X” is generally used.

It strikes me that there is a crisis of rigor more generally. I don't think targeting religious believers would fix all the problems.
I'm curious about this too. The Falcon burns RP-1, essentially a very refined kerosene, with liquid oxygen. Exhaust should be water, carbon dioxide, and a bit of carbon monoxide.

with the url: http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2018/03/20/walmart-launches...

then this post is submitted with same url but with /?href= added

Is that all it takes to resubmit the same story?
Perhaps but the consequences of breaking the rules are nowhere near as devastating. It trivializes the human rights abuses by those governments by putting them in the same category as a video game chat

Why we’re teaching our staff how to get a pay rise
FYI YT Red is about to launch in 100 countries in the upcoming months. AFAIK the launched has been delayed a few years because right owners used the occasion to renegociate the contract they had with Google Play Music.
I would argue these are not self driving cars. I would expect a self driving car to have multiple compute nodes in the trunk that use something more advanced than a gaming engine, a voting system and numerous sensors. LIDAR, infrared, thermal, sonar, other.

An autonomous car that expected to operate in locations and conditions that humans often fail in should be advanced enough to know everything around it and then some.
The last thing a business wants is a browser scaring customers away without cause. But I think they would be OK as long as the list is maintained and is accurate. Certainly, we should do more to penalize hackers, and not blame the victims of cyber attacks (as is sometimes the case).
I find your response a bit of a non-sequitor to user 9889095r3jh's point and question. I imagine 9889095r3jh, and others, understand why it's a difficult problem. But that wasn't the question. The question was, yes, there's a lot of reasons why a person might feel compelled to do these things, but can we agree that they should not have to? It's trying to establish value-norms as a basis of conversation.
Measuring Engineering Velocity: Why Mainline Branch Stability Matters
This incident by itself is less important than the Equifax leak but the precedent set by it, knowledge that all your FB posts/likes/comments are floating out there independent of FB, is hitting the public consciousness harder, we already knew credit rating agencies had tons of information on our financial decisions, most people didn't think FB was just letting people take their info willy-nilly.

How did the university get the IP addresses of computers that access the SEC website?
Gah, but she was in the dark. You literally can't see her. You're asserting stuff about human vision being better without evidence[1], and then using an inference from the video that clearly shows this woman was invisible to "prove" your point. Which is insane.

[1] Again, this is just not true. Cameras sensors have HIGHER dynamic range and ISO bandwith than eyes. What is true is that people have better AI behind the scaling decisions and can search better across wide-dynamic-range environments than typical cameras. But again, that presupposes that the driver would have been looking for the black-clothed biker walking a bike without reflectors in the dark shadows between street lights. Which, wait for it, NEEDS EVIDENCE.
