Yes if you actually run an experiment with real sample sizes you can begin to form hypothesis around and unknown probability.

But my point was you cannot look at a historical event and say "Well this happened, so that was the chance." That's the basis for the silly internet joke "The chance is 50/50, either it happens or it doesn't."

MS Exchange on-prem does not include an anti-spam solution. You have to buy one like Symantec security cloud or MS Exchange online security. Exchange is not a 'hosted' solution.

Gmail by contrast is only a hosted/cloud solution, and comes with a security solution as part of the service.

I can compare Symantec Security Cloud sitting in front of an Exchange solution to a Gmail solution, and say that hands down Gmail is far and away better with exactly zero phishing emails making it through compared to numerous attacks able to get through Symantec Security Cloud to our Exchange users.

Comparing Exchange to Gmail is like comparing kwiwis to radishes, in my view.

We use a Gitea for source control and Jenkins for CI. There's an existing jenkins-git plugin that makes connecting them very easy.

We switched from GitHub to Gitea last year and love it. We looked at Gitlab but it reminded me too much of phabricator - trying to be all things to all people, bloating all over. I prefer specialized tools that focus on a smaller core of functionality and interoperate easily with the other pieces.
Sure! But trusting the power companies to continue to "do the right thing" and buy up all that cheap land for solar power doesn't seem worthwhile. This certainly could read "New homes must be powered by 20% solar", of which rooftop is a viable option, but I wonder how far that legislation would go.

I'll take baby steps.
It just means Gitea now also got the emoji reactions like Github already got.

I find escape rooms extremely boring. I had experienced two in my life and I just couldn't get it. First of all, the escape room is not real - you can always just walk out and then you also know that the riddles were created to entertain average person, so there is nothing special about solving them. About two hours of pretending I enjoy it, so I wouldn't upset work mates that thought it will be great team bonding exercise.
Scanning an article for a link to a more original source is one manual step. That's not hard, since one presumably reads an article before submitting it and the link to the other source is usually prominent, like it was above. Another recent case is https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17007441.

If the earlier article is out of date or wrong, then presumably the new link includes significant new information, in which case it's not a knockoff.

The OCR article looked to me like original reporting, but if you know of another piece that it's copying, we can change the URL again.

By "cribbed knockoff" I mean the thing that media properties do where they lift material from somewhere, make a fig leaf's worth of modification, and publish it themselves. Some people call this blogspam, but that's a contested word. There are plenty of these sites. If knockoffs are all they do, we ban them, but some also publish original articles, and we don't want to exclude those.

Wat. Microsoft isn't "built around" VSCode.
One thing not mentioned in the article is the engineering cost of altering the subscription and payment features of an app, so it's harder to AB test and experiment with new ways of pricing or things like paying for groups of apps together.

Maybe Bloomberg has a lot more resources to throw at this but for a smaller company that has a hacked together or otherwise inflexible subscription system is a risky proposition. Breaking it for some portion of users can result in a lot of lost revenue and potentially effect your customers if the app downgrades/restricts them while you fix it.

It's also often created early on, and moving to something like stripe which helps with a lot of this still incurs the risks above.
An alternative is intentionally packaging releases into tiers (performance, stability, feature, etc) and sell them as such. Something closer to Windows XP service packs than individual updates. I'd expect small, necessary updates to continue to exist as they do.

A user can buy the base version, then a few months later when you create a release that allows processing widgets through the program twice as fast, they can update for a small fee. This would force the developer to create updates that would be easy to communicate the benefits of to the consumer.

It'd be a bit more difficult to figure out pricing for new users over time and which version they receive, but it would allow they old pricing model without forgoing the benefits of incremental development over time.
"What’s worse, the tech is not being used effectively. The teachers don’t have enough training to incorporate the smartboards and iPads, and they don’t have the budget for tech training because they spent it on the iPads."

Yes this is exactly what I see in my sons school. Some of the kids actually know more than the teachers and end up providing support to the teachers. Then the kids do silly things like duplicating icons on the home screen 100+ times and change folder names to things like "poop". The teachers freak out thinking they hacked into the computers because they have no idea on how those simple things were done, or how to disable them from doing those things.

well, that is economics 101. consumers price goods by value, not by costs. if your costs are higher than consumers are willing to pay, then you will at some point go bankrupt.
to try to figure out how to outfit odd shaped surfaces with panels.

That's a pretty silly take. Less expensive houses have large areas of simple roof (in areas with variable climate, about ½ of the areas even face south).

The economics are worse than utility solar, but its not a puzzle how to attach them to a rooftop.
The Alibaba-backed AI company that’s quietly watching people in China
Odd shaped surfaces? Roofs tend to be flat rectangles or triangles. Every solar roof installation I’ve seen in the wild is just rectangular panels bolted on top, with no attempt to cover the entire thing. If the panels don’t align neatly with the roof edge, then they just leave a gap.

The space is free if you’re already building a house anyway. Installation seems fairly straightforward. Is it really that much cheaper to install separate panels that it offsets the cost of buying dedicated land for it?
A very smart guy named Alfred Korzybski said, “The map is not the territory.” It’s important to not get too hung up on epistemological implications of our models of reality, because they are just models. On a practical level a field is something which has a value at every point, that value can be a scalar, vector, or tensor depending on the nature of the field. For some good discussion I think this could help: https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/13157/what-is-a-...

Now, it is very easy to get hung up on this "Is it real or not" thing, and most people do for at least a while, but please just put it aside. When you peer really hard into the depth of the theory, it turns out that it is hard to say for sure that stuff is "stuff". It is tempting to suggest that having a non-zero value of mass defines "stuffness", but then how do you deal with the photo-electric effect (which makes a pretty good argument that light comes in packets that have enough "stuffness" to bounce electrons around)? All the properties that you associate with stuff are actually explainable in terms of electro-magnetic fields and mass (which in GR is described by a component of a tensor field!). And round and round we go.

Light doesn’t propagate in empty space, because space isn’t empty, it’s permeated with quantum fields in constant flux. What light doesn’t require is a medium, and a field is not a medium. The problem here is that these theories are really described in terms of a bunch of math, and when we use words to describe those theories, something is lost in translation. There are no words that fully capture what a field is in QFT, you must use math.

Once you adopt that perspective, inflation would just be the result of another field with particular properties (esp. a given range of potential energy curves). Of course, inflation is an untested theory, and there are competing ones which try to explain the apparent homogeneity and isotropy of the universe. Inflation is probably the most popular, but it doesn’t rest on the kind of firm foundation that QED does.
Exactly my feeling, and I just tried it once on an AWS instance or similar. It was the only serious program running on the machine and it dragged down all the resources, worse than Jenkins ever could. All that doesn't say gittea is much better, though.

I'm just saying that my experience as a user of email is that spam is not a problem for me on services other than Gmail. You telling me that it is doesn't change the fact that it hasn't been in my experience. We'd need some sort of actual data to advance the discussion productively.
I get this, but how much more predictable are subscriptions? I mean, unless you are holding customers hostage with data lock-in, they are going to come and go.

And if you get a reputation as a hostage holder, you will likely spawn competition that avoids your negatives.

I’m sure you will get some residual low hanging fruit in the form of people that buy subscriptions and don’t care enough to cancel.

Doesn’t seem like a winning business model though.
We currently put high-temperature, charged lithium in our pants pockets. The technology this is replacing uses lead and sulfuric acid. Hydrogen is probably fine.
I think they idea is that they expect only a small percentage to pay the subscriptions. The rest may get one or two free articles a month, which for them counts as a lure to attract new customers.

Non-grid-tie set up here. 4 100 Watt Panels on mine, powers everything except for the propane. Generator for cloudy days. Total Cost: $2000 (wiring, kinda expensive MPPT charge, kinda expensive swing-capable brackets, kinda expensive inverter) already had the propane generator. After learning how to do this on an RV I've decided to never buy a stick home again since most states will require a grid-tie (which is the dumbest thing you can do)... So living in a trailer is the best way to live now.
I think this is quite interesting, but despite being a strong fan of solar power, I don't think this is a great idea. There are plenty of homes in areas of low insolation (under trees, facing the wrong way) and this becomes simply a pointless tax for them.

A specific solar incentive (payable only on new construction if you'd like) based on yield would make more sense.
This setup isn't free. The title is misleading.
Well, any vehicles you park in your garage or in your driveway probably have a lot of stored potential energy that can be released catastrophically under the wrong circumstances too. (this goes for whether it's ICE or electric).

The fact that we generally consider those safe to sleep next to is a testament to safety engineering (and possibly a bit of self delusion).
Plants and algae convert co2 to hydrocarbons such as starch and cellulose, which can be used as fuel or further refined into biogases, ethanol, or biodiesel etc. Industrial processes also exist and can be solar powered , but probably are less efficient.

$35 a month for Bloomberg is an insane amount to ask - even if they cut that number by 90%, it is still very debatable if the content is worth the price.

What about decentralization of power sources?

Easier to survive a war or natural disasters if everyone has their own way to generate power from the sun. It would be a shame if solar power, which allows for that, wouldn't be used that way, and instead everyone just kept getting their power from a centralized source, just as before.

> Transportation of over large distances has efficiency loss on electricity and requires more cumbersome infrastructure.

On a rooftop, you have the more significant inefficiencies of trees and suboptimal angles. In a field, you can optimize for efficient collection, and you can even install pivoting panels (much more cheaply than on a house, anyway) which can optimize collection throughout the day.

Even if the transmission loss is larger than the gain from optimal positioning (and I doubt it is), it's all marginal compared to the maintenance difference (having a technician walk out to a panel in a field vs setting up appointments with home residents, driving out to their homes, climbing on their roofs, additional risk of injury for the technician from falls, risk of damaging homes, etc).
Honestly the computers kids should have are the most barebones python and assembly beige boxes that can be found, and told they can play games when they can make them.

That's why I learned to code.

And beige boxes are WAY cheaper than Apple products (and make you do more with less)
It's possible to create an OSX VM under KVM. It's a little clunky, you get very bad graphics performances, and you can run in really weird issues (for example, the NIC not going-up properly), but it works, and if you are using it as a CI platform and/or only sshing into it, it's more than usable.

It's really handy when you are testing/adding support for projects (like C/C++ with cmake) on OSX.
Your last question was touched upon in "Guns, Germs, and Steel"--though I don't remember the book giving a reason, other than, if it was easy to domesticate [presumably compared to domesticating an alternative species, or just getting other humans to do the work], people would have done so by now.

> You're missing the obvious alternative, which is that Cali could instead tax new homes the amount required to install the equivalent panels in some field, where they're cheaper and easier to service, where they can be positioned for optimal sunlight, etc.

No thanks. Then some other org controls the power I can get from those panels, can corrupt officials to raise my rates unnecessarily, charge me higher rates for generation facilities that may not be needed except to juice shareholder returns (Duke Energy collected over a billion dollars for a nuclear power plant they'll never build in Florida, and they are under no obligation to return those funds to ratepayers). This is not uncommon. NV Energy in Nevada, Duke and FPL in Florida, utility coalitions in Kentucky and Arizona have all fought against distributed generation, the list goes on.

Rooftop/distributed solar is a hedge against utility shenanigans, and with how quickly rooftop solar pays itself back (under 10 years in over half the US states while rolling the cost into a long term fixed rate loan product, ie your mortgage), it's insane we don't mandate its installation in more places on new/retrofit construction [1].

Disclosure: I own a 10kw solar install on my roof. I’m biased and opinionated.

You're optimizing for the wrong thing.
> The "middle ground" has been the most common model for desktop app pricing for decades. You buy version X of a product. When the next major version is released you pay an upgrade price.

Mobile app stores killed that model, when they made continuous, perpetual updates the norm. At the time, everybody was too busy pointing out the implications of going from 50$ to 50ct when the even bigger change was a farewell to major version upgrade sales.

But there, after a few cycles of companies ruining themselves by hiring in the short-lived money surge of growing an app to saturation, parts of the industry seem to have found their way to quite reasonably priced subscriptions.
Electricity is not a public utility in California, so wouldn't that solution require the four(?) private utilities in California to raise prices or sell bonds to purchase land/build a solar power plant?

The debate is not about nuclear power. Whether we keep existing reactors or not is not going to have a significant effect on future greenhouse gas levels. Very few new nuclear power stations are being built globally, so it won't be part of the solution. I agree that it could be - if we were really worried, as we should be.
Realistically, we just need the US on board. Then things will change. But a decisive majority of the US population is in a strange anti-science place these days, and the world's future rests on their shoulders. That's a scary thought...
