>...I would be shocked if there's any fossil fuel generation online in 10 years, 15 tops.

The odds of that actually happening are zero.

For example, the National National Renewable Energy Laboratory, tried to model what it would take for California to get 1/2 its power through solar.

>...Those can only go so far, though. To meet the 50 percent photovoltaic threshold economically will require energy storage. The state already has 3,100 megawatts of pumped storage, with 1,325 megawatts of additional storage set to be deployed by 2020, per the state mandate. Under the most optimistic flexible grid scenario and with PV prices falling rapidly to 3 cents per kilowatt-hour, California will need another 15 gigawatts of storage by 2030.

>That’s more than 11 times the amount mandated currently in California, and 66 times the total megawatts deployed in the U.S. last year. And any delays in the price declines of solar, or the rollout of EVs, or the flexibility of conventional power plants, will raise the bar on the amount of storage required.

>That sounds daunting, admitted NREL Principal Energy Analyst Paul Denholm, who co-authored the research with Robert Margolis.

>“Storage costs are going to have to come down,” Denholm said. “I don't want to sugar-coat it: we're not there yet.”

As Bill Gates said in an interview about this kind of advocacy: "…They have this statement that the cost of solar photovoltaic is the same as hydrocarbon’s. And that’s one of those misleadingly meaningless statements. What they mean is that at noon in Arizona, the cost of that kilowatt-hour is the same as a hydrocarbon kilowatt-hour. But it doesn’t come at night, it doesn’t come after the sun hasn’t shone, so the fact that in that one moment you reach parity, so what? The reading public, when they see things like that, they underestimate how hard this thing is. So false solutions like divestment or “Oh, it’s easy to do” hurt our ability to fix the problems. Distinguishing a real solution from a false solution is actually very complicated."

Gates is investing in 4th gen nuclear and energy storage companies so he is putting his money where his mouth is.

China is investing a lot of money in solar, but they don't pretend that will solve all the problems of producing power. China plans to have 1400 GW of nuclear power by 2100, so they also realize that the situation will require a multi-faceted approach.

I have: I just drove from SF to Merida, Yucatan. San Francisco's roads are on par or often worse that most Mexican state capitals.
My grandparents enjoyed home ownership in a very nice neighborhood, in what is now an extremely high COL area. They had every modern convenience of their time period, sent their kids to college, and retired on-time without a care. Neither attended high school. It's often stated that the post-WWII era was just a fluke. I don't know enough to have an opinion about that, but it sure did lead to the perception that the American Dream evaporated for most people.
It's pretty bad. Yes, once you get the brass ring of 777 captain at a major airline, it's $300k. You need 1500 hours even to be in the right seat at a regional airline now though. Since everyone needs those hours, it's hard to get them without paying for them. You can instruct, but there are only so many students, so you spend a lot of time sitting around or doing unpaid work for the flight school. People tend to get creative like going overseas, working for almost nothing for marginal cargo operators, etc. Ultimately, you're probably going to pay about $70 per hour of flight time, whether it's cash or opportunity cost. Ultimately, IMO the best way to hit the magic number is to buy a very fuel efficient trainer and spend a year or two flying around a whole lot.

The number of years it takes to go from regional FO to major Captain is extremely dependent on the economy. Since everything is based on seniority, if there is a downturn, airlines fly less flights and need less pilots, so basically your career goes on hold because no one is getting promoted. When things are good, you move quickly up the ranks.

To your direct question, once you have all of your ratings and your 1500 hours, plus a 4 year college degree (required at major airlines) (figure 6 years and $200-250k in debt), at 2 years you are probably FO at a regional, $50k/yr. At 5 years, captain at a regional, 80k/yr, 10 years, FO at a major, $150k/yr.

If the economy tanks, you stall and might be laid off or furloughed. If your airline goes bankrupt, you scramble to find another job and start at the bottom of the FO totem pole again. If you have almost any health problem or require most any medication, you lose your medical and find another line of work. If further automation leads to a single pilot cockpit (fairly likely IMO in the next 20 years), you either lose your job or take a big pay cut.
Yea with machine learnt algorithm trading. More profitable than a full time job... (for now)
Indeed. There's an inevitable trade-off between looking for a better approach and simply executing with what you have. (cf machine learning)

Suppose my boss asks me to find a good Thai restaurant for lunch. If I'm new to the area, I'll be very "open" and spend a lot of time looking into the possibilities, etc. If I have a lot of experience eating at Thai places in town, I'll be less open. I already know the best one out of a substantial set, and it's less likely that I'll find a better one without a lot of work. Call it stagnation, or call it being careful with the company's money.
That works for site maintenance and garbage collection but it doesn't stop them appearing in search results which is where my problem lies

If I see a StackOverflow result in my search I'd wager there's a more than 50% chance it's a closed question without an answer. Sometimes I'll grant if it was marked dupe I may end up finding the answer, but honestly the only visits I really remember are those that are marked dupe and link to something sounding similar but completely unrelated
Exactly my point. It's a lot of work. That's the reason why Nvidia has such a large team doing it, and also why they spent 3 billion dollars to build the V100 ASIC.

Dude, I don't. My 5 year old son is in the spectrum and I probably would be diagnosed as well by todays standard. We are lucky enough to be on the high-functional end of the spectrum but it is still taxing on the family. I can't possibly imagine how worst it is for more severe cases and I'm sorry if I offended you but many of my best friends are also borderline autistic and they are the best people I know.
Well it's technically your uncle's DNA. Limiting what he can or can't do with it because it also matches yours would then infringe on his rights.
This is specifically what actually makes it, eggs, objectively wrong -- though it is the choice that will be marked correct and which you, the test-taker should pick, even if you realize it is wrong. Pedantically, it is wrong to say "less eggs" while it is correct to say "less bread" but due to the level of pedantry, you, the test-taker, should prefer to pick the incorrect answer (eggs) over the only actually grammatical answer (bread) - even though this is a test of English.

You have to set aside what is correct and incorrect and decide how educated the test-writer was, and what they might want you to pick, or what they are attempting to test.

This has direct relevance to the article are discussing.

The CISSP exam is a bit easier now that there are only 8 domains of knowledge and those domains are a bit more focused. When I took the test there were 10 domains of knowledge tested.

In short the CISSP is the most respected certification for information security management even though the ISC2 organization offers more advanced certifications above the CISSP. I believe the SANS certifications are more respected technician certifications now, but they cost something like $4000 and you have to travel to their location to certify (or so the rumors claim).

The CISSP exam is vendor agnostic. You have to apply and be approved to take the exam and it costs just shy of $700. Even with that price tag it only has about a 60% pass rate.

When I took the test back in 2010 it was 250 questions and you had up to 6 hours to take it. Many of the questions had more than one correct answer so you had to read it carefully to pick the most correct answer. Many of the people who failed it, those that I knew, failed it for tactical reasons. It is a senior management test so I always tell people to remember on each and every question managers document and then they delegate. They don't do the real work, so if you answer any question with putting fingers on a keyboard you are likely wrong.

The test wore me out as I took 5.5 out of the 6 available hours. Some of the questions were rather long like a page out of a textbook.
Sometimes, "people have more dollars to spend" causes inflation.

Sometimes, "reducing the number of things to buy" causes inflation.

Here's an article: https://www.economicshelp.org/macroeconomics/inflation/cause...
With monetary policy and quantitative easing we simply create money on nearly the same order of magnitude. Unfortunately this money flows primarily to investment banks and other large institutions, not to individuals.

I am much more interested in UBI as a substitute for both welfare and monetary policy, than for welfare alone. The gross anatomy of most western economies would be radically changed though, rendering most scale comparisons moot and also making it difficult to imagine how to get there from here - incumbent beneficiaries would fight it tooth and nail.
Closing duplicates has multiple uses:

* Directs the asker to a place where their question has already been answered.

* Trains the user to search for an answer instead of blindly asking.

* Gets new answerers to put their answers all in one place so it's easier for others to find later.

* Not deleting it acts as a signpost for people searching on more variations of the same question.

Closing off-topic questions should be obvious: Prevent scope creep and limit the "broken windows" effect.
How do they even define these "breaches" as single discrete events? Can you even imagine the amount of data Yahoo has leaked over the past 20 years?
>But I feel like a good interviewer (good is orthogonal to technical!) is likely to say "OK, so what is the runtime?", and "constant" and "O(1)" should both be on their list of keywords.

In that case, he was the CTO, though, and should know that "constant" is the same as "does not depend on the input size". (Though I'll admit I could have been unclear by trying to pre-emptively show how I knew what the next binding constraint would be.)

Agree with your points otherwise, but I still think the protocol should be (even if you're skipping through), to say something more like "let me note that down and I'll pass on your response" rather than imply it's not wrong because it's not in your list.
Her job. Misogyny.

How you could reasonably claim not to know that the CEO of Yahoo was a woman.
I'm not sure what part of the statement you're arguing against, but there are, according to the Census, about 250M adult Americans[1] (take the 323M total pop figure, multiply by 1 minus the percent under 18 to get total pop above 18 years of age); if you give 250M people 10k/year, that's $2.5T/year, or "about $3 trillion". Now, I'm presuming we're only giving UBI to adults, but the article says "every America", in which case it would be 323M people times $10k, or $3.2T.

For "doubling the personal income tax", I originally interpreted that to mean that, to raise the $3T, we would need to double the personal income tax revenues. The federal government appears to pull in ~3$T/year in revenue, from various sources. If we presume the burden of paying for UBI to be spread proportionally among the current sources of revenue, this would indeed imply doubling the personal income tax. (That $3T would need to become $6T; if we proportionally increase each revenue source, the amount of revenue collected in the form of personal taxes must thus double. This is honestly quite an assumption; if anything, I would worry that personal income taxes would need to pull in more than its proportion, as I presume some revenue sources will be fixed, or undesirable to increase, such as borrowing.)

Your example can literally hold true, even with all of the above, AFAICT. Yes, we may charge a hypothetical person $12k, and give him back $10k, for a net of $2k. But there will also be others, presumably poorer, that are paying much less in taxes than they're getting in UBI, and that must come from somewhere…

Poop and needles are not a menace?

Personally I think poop & noodle cleanup should be a higher priority than dockless scooters.
Comments like yours are what keep me coming back to hacker news. Thanks for the perspective.

Especially interesting about TP4 & traffic shaping. The even-numbered hour bug sounds like a nightmare--kind of like cold temperature timer issues I've encountered on micros.

Her job. Misogyny.

How you could - somewhere like this - reasonably claim not to know that the CEO of Yahoo was a woman I do not know.
Another approach is you commit to the decision and make sure it is worth it. I believe that is a rational analysis.
It doesn't sound like an insult - it sounds just descriptive.
Could even go full social techno-utopia and make the scooters free for registered addicts to use on rides to any municipal sanitation facilities.

Meanwhile, dockless cars park wherever they want, block sidewalks, inhabit large swaths of the city without paying to do so, etc.

What a weird world where "scooters" are the problem.
The scooters are left scattered on the sidewalk like so many turds, your critique is misplaced.
The US budget is about 3.2 trillion. Assuming we don't default on debt or reduce military and assuming we can't remove medicare and health spending and also we don't remove other non entitlement spending you get about $2 trillion that could maybe be reshifted. There are 138 million us tax payers giving each $14k comes out to right at 2 trillion. (Ignoring for now the non tax payers which would double this number and all of the following) The troubling part though is that half of that is social security. Reducing social security payments to that would cripple retired people forced to pay into the system their whole lives and make them live at possibly 10% or less of what was promised. Not putting a lot of faith in the government.

Maybe 1 is feasible under that situation but to not kill social security it would require about 30% tax hike and be an increasingly negative program for anyone making over $46k which is 30% of the population. In my opinion that is idiotic. Logistically it would be a nightmare as congress would have to simultaneously remove a boatload of spending then add a boatload more which would be battled forever. I also have doubts about the capability of many people to responsibly handle the money themselves leading to calls for more entitlement programs to be reinstated or formed.

2 is next level moronic. The increase in average income would likely drive inflation to increasing levels ultimately creating the same effective levels of wealth and poverty as before. That $30k will pay for a car/house maybe in the first year but not really in the third, fourth etc.
Likely depends on when you joined. The Series C investors had to get ~10% of the company for $35MM to get their money back so I doubt they did so well, but I bet it's a win for early investors, employees, and of course, the founders.
It was in stock on and off and I was able to order it directly from Nvidia US.

After 59 days of playing with it, I sent it back (initiated return on 30th day, after I already figured out it doesn't live up to the hype, then had another 30 days to actually send it back).

With $3,000 I can buy 4 1080ti's, while only two are necessary to beat Titan V (in Titan V's best game). I only bought one though. NowInStock.net helped with buying 1080ti directly from Nvidia.
Yes the article is badly misinformed and not really worth consideration.

That said there are much stronger arguments against UBI. There's a strong argument that UBI combined with current housing and spending policies... would simply end up in the hands of landlords. The article doesn't even mention "rent" but have no doubt landlords and banks are always waiting in the wings to capture virtually any surplus income. In practice UBI would have to be accompanied by government housing... and down that path lies ruin.

(Note the price of food and other necessities would likely not be inflated under UBI. Suppliers in these markets would -- unless they illegally collude -- end up trying to undercut one another to gain market share. In fact there's reason to believe UBI done right would drive down prices as the market as a whole becomes more dynamic. More money, more consumers, more competition, etc. But housing suppliers know that the banks are always ready to provide mortgages no matter how much they raise prices.)

A Job Guarantee [1] would be much more effective than UBI in virtually every way. Most importantly landlords couldn't consistently capture the additional income. There's, really, no reason to simply give the money away when there's plenty of work to be done.

I'm not using real numbers or assuming any tax rates. All I'm saying is that if you both pay someone and also raise their taxes, only the difference is a real amount being taxed/given.

DNA wasn't the only evidence police had. 3 pieces of additional information: 1) his history in the Sacramento area, 2) he served in the Navy and law enforcement which fitted the profile police were looking for, and 3) police sketches matched a photo of his from the 70s.

edit: In addition to the physical evidence gathered from suspect's house that could be linked to the crime scenes. This isn't public information yet.
And that is precisely why it is an idiotic design decision. HTTP is extremely complex (well, and Matrix doesn't actually use HTTP, they just claim they do, but as usual noone reads the specs, everyone just builds crap based on what they think the spec says, because the spec is too complicated), and as such is an absolute dead end if your goal supposedly is to build something secure.
And even before that, when people are still voting, it automatically adds a comment on the question with the same link.

I got asked a project Euler question at an interview for a crud job. I'm sure it's simple if you break it down, but there are plenty of other fish in the sea. If you ask me a question that starts: "let n be ...", I'm out.

An integer partition of a number n is a way of writing n as a sum of positive integers.

Partitions that differ only in the order of their summands are considered the same. A partition of n into distinct parts is a partition of n in which every part occurs at most once.

The partitions of 5 into distinct parts are:
5, 4+1 and 3+2.

Let f(n) be the maximum product of the parts of any such partition of n into distinct parts and let m(n) be the number of elements of any such partition of n with that product.

So f(5)=6 and m(5)=2.

For n=10 the partition with the largest product is 10=2+3+5, which gives f(10)=30 and m(10)=3.
And their product, f(10)·m(10) = 30·3 = 90

It can be verified that
∑f(n)·m(n) for 1 ≤ n ≤ 100 = 1683550844462.

Find ∑f(n)·m(n) for 1 ≤ n ≤ 1014.

This was my experience. Just exited a startup that relied on Python heavily. Built a flask-restful based back end with SQL Alchemy.. Never had any issues with flask per say, but it made me happy I know languages with far better tooling and concurrency experience/performance :)
Swift itself in incredibly fast, at least in microbenchmarks. I last looked at the numbers a year or so ago, but IIRC it was about as fast as C, which is several (as in 5-6) orders of magnitude faster than, say, python.

In terms of "level of abstraction" vs "Speed", Swift is definitely at a Pareto-Optimum (if that's the term for "can't get better in one dimension without losing something in the other).

Microbenchmarks aren't the be-all yada yada yada... And it's somewhat ironic that the server framework is named Vapor. But for web apps that are computation-heavy, I think it would be a valuable option to have.
