It's too bad the US doesn't have someone like Vestagar at the FTC, too.

The FTC almost never seems to use anti-trust laws anymore, and when it punishes companies it's more of a symbolical punishment than an actual deterrence. And that's when it doesn't settle with the wrongdoers, where they don't even have to admit any wrong or stop what they've been doing in the future.

Mandating storage or fcas capability for new developments is not the solution, as it would make such developments more expensive and less appetising to developers.

Strengthening the market for those services and working with AEMO to drive the networks or third parties to provide these services is the better option in my opinion.

The recent rule changes for 5 minute settlements in the wholesale spot markets will also alter the financial incentives for very fast start generation and drive investment in battery storage, perhaps even in the residential market.

"consummating the deal with nothing more than a handshake"

Seriously, just a handshake. So fleeting. So trivial. It's just a gesture, after all.
This artist created something that got widely recognized, and the genesis of it (he alleges) was widely misrepresented by both Ellis and Anderson. Also, he got paid squat compared to what the album generated in sales. Unless you are Spock from Star Trek, you are going to have some feelings of frustration, indignation, and envy from that experience.
Why on Earth would that require a recall? Hundreds of gas powered cars catch fire every day. The only difference is first responders expect and know how to handle gas fires. They will learn to handle batteries too.

When I was just beginning to interview, I was taught the "can do, will do, will fit" criteria: does the candidate have the aptitude for the job, are they willing to apply those skills, and can they do so in the context of the current team.

Fast forward a couple years, and I saw "will fit" used sometimes as a blunt instrument for like to hire like. I actually edited "will fit" when I was training others how to effectively interview, as seen in https://t.co/bias . Like tends to hire like, and people will tend to bias favorably towards other people with common backgrounds, customs, and cultural norms. There has to be an active effort made through an org to both be cognizant of this bias before it can be overcome. I haven't seen many companies that we're successful in that effort, unfortunately.

I was wondering about this in the context of the 80-20 rule, and believe I have a simple answer. Basically you need two things:
1) Some slight advantage
2) The network effect, that is, the probability of competing depends on the current winnings.

If you have these two things, you get 80-20 like distributions, you get the explanation for why winners keep winning. If you are interested, you can find my simulation and analysis at

http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~arnold/research/80-20/

Kind of shocking how well this works. The intuition is,
why has coke won, well they had some initial advantage, and so they won a bit. Now that they have won a bit, they can finance themselves into more competition. For example, they can place themselves into more stores, into more restaurants etc. Now they get a chance to compete more.
I think it won't impact us. Currenty we are making ~10,000 phone calls per month and we have zero complaints regarding "tricking people". I won't call it tricking at all. It's just a new form of human-computer interaction we all dreamed of. We propose some set of rules guided by Azimov's three laws of robotics. For instance, an AI shouldn't warn you upfront it's an AI, but if you ask "are you an AI", it must tell you so, not trying to trick you, etc. This is how we train our Dasha.AI. We already have a lot of experience in the field. Since launch 6 months ago, Dasha.AI talked at least to 50,000 people. We have enormous dataset of human reactions. Anyone interested in helping us in accelerating world's transition to robot workers and, eventually, to the general AI, are welcome!

As someone who switched away from RPN (well RPL) I disagree. I was an HP48/50 series fanboy since about 1995 and before that RPN on a HP41. I was the weird kid at school who didn’t have a normal calculator and the teachers couldn’t help me.

Brodsky was by no means a dissident, at least in the Russian sense of the word. He was vocally and arrogantly apolitical. He didn't know politburo members' faces, and disliked both Soviet and anti-Soviet activists.

Also, no sane Russian of his generation would consider writing self pitiful account of inprisonment and torture, consisting of about a month in prison and 3 weeks in a psycho asylum. He personally knew dozens of people that have served 10-20 years without even a legal trial.
> Mostly the Coalition. Seriously.

Pull the other one, the risk is something like what happened in Germany. The cheap, reliable option in Australia is coal. So an investor has 2 options:

1) Invest in coal. At some point a Labor-Green government gets in and copies the German model - all your capital now makes a loss (ie, the plant you just built).

2) Invest in something else. This isn't as politically risky, but if the government decides that high power prices have to go and pours money into something (eg, new coal plants) then you just got set up as a marginal producer.

I mean, I haven't crunched the numbers, but unless wind/solar are legitimately the most cost effective options (which historically they most certainly have not been) then you would have to be a real risk taker to get involved.

Blaming that situation on the Coalition is too much; the political risks go way beyond them. The issue is that the Coalition wants cheap, the greens want clean, and Labor isn't committed either way as far as I know. And the regulator is a long way from perfect.
Easy thing to say. But imagine Zuckerberg had hired you to code the first version of his site, paid you a few thousand bucks, and then he went on to be one of the richest men in America?

We here in SV have evolved a culture and a set of business practices that do a much better job of compensating us fairly. We make good cash money, and we tend to get a share of the success when things get big. It's not like we as individuals were clever enough to negotiate all of the details; it's a system mostly other people worked out over time.

But we're very lucky in that people with our talents and skills are still much rarer than business types would like. That's not true with artists, and the music industry's default practices, especially then, were generally shitty. There's no reason this guy shouldn't get as fair a shake as we do.

(And before anybody has a personal story of not getting a fair shake: yes, that sucks, which is exactly why you should want to see systemic changes that minimize that happening to others.)

It's an interesting exercise to try to design board games that have economy-like systems. You'll notice that it's very easy for rich-get-richer effects to emerge.

Now, rich-get-richer effects can be desirable in a board game in which the starting conditions are perfectly symmetric and luck plays no role, because the more skilled player is going to the one to acquire that snowballing advantage. But in asymmetric games, or games in which luck creates asymmetry, rich-get-richer effects obscure the relative skill of the players.

> So her whole career is based off of playing different people against each other and pandering to whomever holds the most power?

That's a very loaded and negative way to portray a career politician, but more importantly it's also completely unsubstantiated -- how is this relevant to Vestager?

For instance, why do you use the word "pander" to describe her work? Pander means to "gratify or indulge (an immoral or distasteful desire, need, or habit or a person with such a desire, etc.)". I think that sort of language should be used carefully, and at the very least it should be substantiated in terms of how it relates to the person you're talking about.

I've followed Vestager's career for over 15 years, and I don't think your characterization of her work is accurate at all. You might be able to clarify why you describe her that way, and that seems to be necessary for a substantive discussion on this.

> I don't think it's any better than an American politician

There are great American politicians for sure, but one thing I would note here is that there are significant differences in public trust and corruption levels between the US and Denmark (where Vestager has spent the vast majority of her public life). There's a high level of accountability, public scrutiny and public interest in how politicians work, and corruption is very low [0].

I think this plays a role in terms of how "good" the politicians are "on average" in a country, and to what degree they can be trusted.

[0] Corruption is obviously hard to quantify, but one way to measure/approximate it is the Corruption Perceptions Index [0] where "Denmark is the least corrupt country in the world, ranking consistently high among international financial transparency", and the U.S. ranked 18th in 2016. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_Perceptions_Index
If you sell a man or women a piece of artwork, yes they can put it up in their home and people can see it. If people take photos in front of it, well the photo is of the people and the art could be fair use context. If they take that piece of art and copy it and put it on a book cover .. now that's not right.

I've never actually bought art at an art fair, but I was with a friend who bought a ballet drawing once. I don't remember her signing anything to indicate use. She used her debit card and bought a painting which later hung up on her wall.

I feel like if this happened today, this wouldn't be acceptable. If I sell you a piece of art, you don't get the copyright for that art. You can sell the art like you sell socks, and the person who buys that art can resell it later. But you can't make copies and sell them as your own. Or stand in front of it, take a photo, and use it as a book cover claiming fair use.

If there is no contract, you haven't signed over your rights, and we should default on the side artists rights side of it.

This might sound either obvious or naive but if you are not a CS major, I would really emphasize reading CS textbooks such as CLRS, Programming Pearls, Dragonbook and most importantly textbooks on statistics m probability, linear algebra. There is a pyramid of skills for developers. People who haven’t studied throughly above stuff usually ends up at bottom (aka “enterprise” or “web” or “database” developers). They spend their lives in trivialities of patterns and plumbing and only very rarely doing something interesting such as distributed computing, game programming, systems programming, ML/AI.
There are two separate issues. Ongoing racism, and the lasting impact of past racism, segregation, and slavery. Per capita income for Africa Americans is 1/3 lower than the national average. Even among liberals it’s not a popular idea to say that a big chunk of that gap is not due to ongoing racism but lasting effects of past wrongs. The idea of paying reparations seems radical. But legally it’s not that odd. It would basically be paying money damages for state and federal governments’ past torts and constitutional violations. When slavery was ended, the government should have paid, under common law tort theories, a bunch of money for false imprisonment. When segregation ended, state governments should have been liable for damages for constitutional torts (what would now be 1983 liability).

If you sell me art that I'm going to use for a book cover, I will in fact get the copyright for that art. There's no other way for me to handle that.

If I understood correctly, they are using batteries in same manner as pumped storage:

https://www.energy.gov/eere/water/pumped-storage-hydropower

We have a few of those for decades, it is actually quite simple, when there is surplus of el. energy it is used to pump water on a hill and acumulate it there. When you need it, the water is than used to generate el. energy. This is the traditional way of flattening the spikes in el. grid.

Now I wonder why the batteries were choosen instead of water, are they cheaper? Does it acumulate more energy on less space than water, it is due to efficiency (there is some loss when you pump water up) or for Austrialia, the water based storage is just not an option (not enough water / hills)?

I'm inexperienced with this kind of system, so my views might be quite naïve... But my first concern with a language like his would be that it's hard to reason about memory usage and performance. Ultimately your code needs to run in a real system with limited resources. What have your experiences been in that regards? Have you found it's a worthwhile tradeoff?

As a point of comparison, when I learned Haskell I really enjoyed it and found it made expressing certain algorithms much simpler, but I basically kept all resource constraints out of mind.
In a weakly typed language, that 2 would be implicitly converted to a string. So yes, python is absolutely strongly typed, as opposed to js which is not.
Because it is a Swiss cheese of security exploits.

Our computers and IoT devices will never be properly safe while the underlying kernel and bare metal stuff keeps being written in C.

C is the job safety of black hat hackers, security experts, companies selling memory protection utilities and anti-virus.

It was the explosion of free UNIX clones with *BSD and GNU/Linux that spread it around, until then it was just yet another systems programming language, already being replaced by C++ on desktop computer systems on the mid-90's.

The whole article seems to vastly overstate how important the cover art was to the financial success of the album. People rarely buy t-shirts of an album cover because they really like the artwork in isolation; it's very often because it reminds them of the songs on the album.
I wholeheartedly agree with the article that success ultimately boils down to luck and not much else. Not even kidding, the harder I work, the luckier I get!

A modern, ergonomic language with memory safety without GC is definitely better then anything C had to offer. You can easily write C code in Rust with unsafe; you can't write C code that gives you the guarantees of Rust, no matter what you do.
Well, elinks is a cul-de-sac, and AFL would probably obliterate it, so elinks users are most probably putting themselves in more danger than they avoiding.
The biggest difference is that in C, 100% of the code is unsafe and possibly UB, while in other system languages with unsafe code blocks those low level tricks are pretty easy to track down.

I think it was meant more in the sense that Apple would have a lock on phone users, which would let them monetize access to them for others such as google. They would also have been able to be more influential as an ad company.

They already do charge for making google the default browser, so it's not a stretch to imagine this payment would be larger and other similar payments would exist. I'm not sure why you think this is a hypothetical when it already happens.
