"You're ambiguous therefore you're malicious"? Yeah, I don't buy that he's being intentionally vague primarily because he will explain what he means when people ask him to explain himself in more detail. It's just that everybody knee-jerks today.

Every time I've seen an article about Peterson -- which, to be fair, has been all of three times so I'm not particularly well read -- it's saying he's done something or said something horrible. When I dig up what he actually said to get the context -- something that no article has ever done -- I'm usually left with a different interpretation or still being unsure what he was trying to say. When I look for Peterson's own explanations, they make sense to me and they're still consistent with what he originally said. Now, I don't agree with, well, hardly any of his points, but they're typically consistent even though the media consistently says they're not.

It strikes me more along the lines of how once James Damore, the guy who wrote the Google memo, was labelled anti-left and anti-feminist, it was just accepted that everything he said was immediately wrong and his entire argument was assumed to be the least favorable position. Nobody tried to actually read his memo and address those arguments. It could be interpreted as anti-left and anti-feminist there for it must be anti-left and anti-feminist and that engineer must be ceaselessly attacked for not toeing the cultural line even if he had good points.

It's like someone just gets labelled as an enemy and then it's red vs blue, left vs right, up vs down, and everybody has to be hardline anti-center lest you be labelled with that scarlet letter R or D. It's so intellectually dishonest. It's exactly what we used to blame Fox News and the religious right for doing! As someone who has been liberal and left their whole life, this recent behavior of mistaking character assassination and vitriolic reprisal for criticism has been one of the most disappointing and frustrating changes I've seen.
Your that statement shows how badly you have read his article.
This trick does work. If the matrices are in row-major order, you transpose B in memory and then compute A * (B^T)^T. This multiplication reads both matrices in row order.

However, while this does improve performance over the naive algorithm, it's still not as good as a tiling algorithm.

It's not just the active wars of nationalism that unleash waves of invention, it's the cultural atmosphere, the lingering of such over all nations. At high levels of nationalism you can feel the tension in the air across the globe, it alters how people behave and how they think.

Nations stop cooperating as much, and start competing with each other in an aggressive manner more. That's the core of what spurs the increased invention, rather than war specifically. War plausibly can prompt and enable a short, unsustainable, burst of heightened levels of invention.

WW2, as an atmospheric, a cultural change agent, didn't just go away when WW2 ended. It's reasonable to consider that the impact it had on people would last for decades. For the generation or two that primarily lived it, it permanently changed how they think and view the world.

Most of the great advances we've enjoyed post WW2, were sparked in the 20 or 30 years after WW2. Globalism spread those advances and refined them; which is what we've been mostly doing since the collapse of the USSR in the early 1980s after oil imploded. This cycle of globalism began somewhere between the late 1970s and mid 1980s.

edit: to add to my opinion here - I view the invention that occurs under nationalism vs globalism, as tall spikes vs low gentle waves. Invention doesn't cease under globalism, the nature of it changes. Nationalism will deliver intense blunt trauma invention, that may be impossible under other circumstances and or require a far longer timeline. If it's 1960-1965 and you tell the US Government they can acquire an immense leg up on the USSR by plowing $10 billion into some focused great technological leap forward attempt, they're probably going to do it. That's the application of blunt trauma to technological progress. The difference between: we should consider doing XYZ thing, versus: we must do XYZ thing and do it now. Would the modern superpower version of the US Government - eg in ~1994-2004 at the height of its superpower status vs other nations - do projects like that? I'm skeptical the solitary superpower version of the US would create the Internet or go to the moon. In the next 20 years, in heightened nationalistic competition with China, I think you're going to see a revival of that spirit.

That's not even remotely accurate. Power companies oversubscribe just like everyone else. That's why they give you a discount for hooking up a device on your air conditioner they can remotely control during peak times to even out power usage. Also why you hear of rolling outages during extremely hot summer weather when everyone has their ac on at the same time.

That's why they have a different service for business users. If they were equipped to service every home at 100% all of the time, your bill would be about 10x what it currently is.
Yes they did:

> In one instance last year, the transformer outside a bootleg miner’s home overheated and touched off a grass fire, Chelan County PUD officials say.
In my limited understanding, that sounds like a highly unusual type of regulation by US standards. Are there any other practices/industries regulated in similar ways?
Of course. Many have become rich investing in startups that added no value to the world as well. My point is the many arguments that this is a just a house of cards that will inevitably come crashing down, and I don't think that's the case. A bubble by definition has to pop. A fad has to pass. At what point does something become entrenched to the point that its continuing existence is essentially guaranteed?
Haha, that's what I get for writing comments late at night. I meant something like 4/3.
Some more info on kwh price.

"Beginning Jan. 1, 2012, Chelan County PUD moved to a flat residential rate for electricity of just 2.7 cents per kilowatt hour."[1]

"energy costs can run as low as 2.88¢ per kWh and average 4.13¢ per kWh statewide for industrial customers." [2]

[edit] The parent article does state a price of 3cents/kwh.
'Educated' people once believed the earth was flat. We all know how that worked out.

Nepal has rejected Ayurveda products manufactured by one company because of contaminants. How is that a statement on the efficacy of Ayurveda ? There has been contamination found in batches of Coke/Pepsi bottles also in India - none of it is a statement on the efficacy of the underlying product.
In fact Ayurveda itself has a long history of both surgery (like cataracts, or facial reconstruction), and medicine. The fact of the matter is that for thousands of years it's foundation is based on:

"Anusandhana" "Anveshana" etc which are translated as Research. Ayurveda has the fundamental concept of Prama(Fact) that one statement made is truth only if proved by Pramanas, which include Pratyaksha(Perception), Anumana(Inference), Upamana(Analogy), Yukti(Planning) & Apthopadesha(Authoritative Testimony) each & every word in the samhita is written only after using these logic

India has a strong history of Logic, and philosophy that people discount on wholesale, while at the same time use it. For example the entire field of modern cognitive science, and consciousness science uses a tremendous amount of borrowed ideas from Buddhism, to Hinduism.

I feel that India generally isn't given enough credit for the progress it has made in the sciences, which is quite sad, and I can't help but feel that it's motivated by both an apathy among Indians towards their own history, and perhaps racism as many Indology departments in the USA tend to focus on the negatives, instead of positives as other religious, or cultural studies tend towards.

Yes and no, the Service Breakers in your home panel are there for safety yes.

However when you sign up for Services you sign up for a given Amp level of service, the Power company then has the expectation to be able to supply you with that level of current at that location

Most residential Homes have either 100 or 200amp service. 100amp service would probably be enough to run about 50 cards (assuming each card running at at 250w power draw that may be high no idea)
That’s not the only way that monogamy can be enforced. For example, in many countries, sex outside of marriage is illegal with severe penalties, and divorce and adultery are either illegal or lead to social ostracism. These countries don’t assign anyone a spouse but they have very high rates of early marriage and low rates of divorce (even in abusive marriages) because of you want to have sex, which most people do, you need to get married.
No noise??? You need some deafening loud whirring fans to cool the racks of miners.
The problem is simple, power is too cheap in too many places. Fix that.
And that’s ridiculous. Me working on my computer in my house paying the asking rate for the electricity is really none of the business of my neighbors. It isn’t like someone is running a hair salon or a day care center where there could be traffic/disruption concerns.

At this point, I'm just exhausted. I'm tired of fighting this battle that we lose every single step of the way. I kind of just want privacy, expression, user safety, and free speech on the web to be dead already so we can skip the inevitable grinding progression of crushing defeats as it dies bit after bit as we expend massive amounts of effort, will, emotion, and stress campaigning against the latest in a long line of stupid ideas only to see the ratchet progress one tooth further.

The Web is on life support. It's not going to survive. I just wish we could pull the plug already instead of watching it die in slow motion like this.
I agree. As a primarily Android-focused developer, I understand Swift and I know how to make an iPhone app. But there nothing as infuriating as being handed a 30k LOC iOS app's source code and being told that the code is the documentation, and no, there is no other documentation (because that would be silly! just read the code!).

No, if you can write 30k lines of any computer language, you can at least write a 2 pager in English/preferred human language describing the architecture and other details of the code. Ridiculous that people expect code to be documentation to the point of not writing a single sentence in human language about what the code does or how it works.

Looking for a TLD for a startup. The common ones are all taken. For context, the company intends to build a small business project management SaaS. What TLDs do you use?
A set of objective financial rules into a place full of whim, abuse, corruption and stupidity.

And that idea is pretty powerful (even if the manifestations thus far still seem to be pretty much the above as well).

To advance freedom of thought, Lessing published an essay of one hundred paragraphs outlining the history of religion. The wrath of orthodox churchmen was hurled at his head, and Lessing was left alone to defend his daring theories.

If you’d told me that “crap for cheap” would’ve migrated from processed food and Chinese imports to the software industry, I would’ve thought that to be pretty bleak. “In the future, you’ll be using the software equivalent of a Twinkie.”

This is interesting since it takes the legal status of non-privacy while being in public to the logical extreme. The fact people find it weird just shows the problem with the law more clearly.
If you're interested in global supply chains or entrepreneurship in China, this is the company that makes many of the pillows, blankets, and other textiles sold at Target, Restoration Hardware, Pottery Barn, and many other retailers. As the company's history page states:

Ask HN: What makes IT certificates more valuable than most programmer certs?
Generally speaking, when people discuss IT certificates the are usually seen as a good thing to have for IT jobs. When people discuss programmer certificates, though, they tend to say that they don't hold water, or worse, it's a waste of your money. So what generally is wrong with programming certs? Or rather, why are they perceived as not valuable?
For the past several decades there has also been a concerted effort to eliminate standing water almost anywhere practicable, in order to reduce mosquito breeding.
How do you manage to put the blame on the person cited out of context instead of on the journalists, whose job it actually was to verify such things?

I don’t know the exact context for the original statement, but the linked explanation video[1], which is only three minutes long, is very straightforward and exhaustive, and not at all vague as you claim.

Mostly it just irks me, as I have seen many people I respect given this treatment, but it has always been by the intellectually dishonest, including in fact in cult literature, with which I unfortunately have some personal experience.

The fact that this is now the new norm in mainstream press is very concerning.

AFAIK this group at NASA doesn't write any lines of code at all. The Shuttle runs 4 dSpace ControlDesk Realtime controllers (similar to a F1 car), and the programming environment is graphical. You design models, you don't write code. A compiler writes the code automatically from this model. The automotive industry works similar. You design the engine, the gearbox, the drivetrain with toolboxes and connect them together. Lots of tools exist for quality control, correctness control and performance control. The error rate is significantly lower.

For some edge case they do write C code, maybe about 5%
The author is handling sprite rendering entirely on the CPU, he's only using OpenGL to put a bitmap on the window. Little bit unnecessary.
Commentators talking about solutions.

There are already solutions in the article:

> The three PUDs have been experimenting with policies that force miners to shoulder these extra costs and risks, while insulating ratepayers and the utilities themselves.

>1 .Chelan County, for example, created a special rate for miners and other so-called “high density loads,” or HDLs, back in 2015, that was effectively twice the residential rate.

> 2. Douglas County, meanwhile, began requiring miners to pay up front for any new infrastructure.

> 3. Grant County PUD is establishing special rates applied to companies “whose primary revenue stream is evolving and unproven” and whose product is “vulnerable to extreme value fluctuations.”

Thanks for this response. My untrained guess is that precessional torque would cause more loss than air friction, assuming the wheel is cleanly symmetric (ex. no bolt heads sticking out). It's fascinating how many paths there are to push something up various kinds of potential energy gradient in a way that it mostly stays there by itself but is still available to us to access in a controllable way.

Wikipedia claims flywheel loss rate circa 2013 of 5% per day.

Why is this being downvoted? Are there people on HN that actually think the government should tell people what they can do in the privacy of their own home? What a bunch of totalitarians. Perhaps the government should be able to dictate who people can sleep with or what media they are allowed to consume. Why are there so many people comfortable with letting governments dictate freedoms when those freedoms aren’t harming anyone?

clickbait title. not even a good analysis. i do like that the author wasn’t in any way complaining about the price or arguing that it wasn’t reasonable. in electronics (compared to drugs) there isn’t unfair pressure in the marketplace. so double phoo on the title.

I refunded first 4 orders with apology.

But I had detailed statistic of traffic and conversion rate.

I once thought of such a project - a dynamic map of borders and battles/army movements through history. Perhaps crowdsourced ala Wikimapia/OpenStreetMap. But never tried to work on making this project reality. Could have even scientific value, but also high potential for quarells, and need to somehow represent uncertainty, probably.
This saved me a lot of time for these cases

If on a domestic connection, they may be referring to:

> Where a portion of a dwelling is used regularly for the conduct of business or where a portion of the electricity supplied is used for other than domestic and incidental farm power, service may be supplied on this Schedule, provided the energy used is in accordance with the regulations defined in Sections 43 and 44 of the District’s Utility Service Regulations. If not, energy shall be billed on General Service Schedule 2.

https://www.chelanpud.org/docs/default-source/default-docume... (I don't believe the Section 43/44 exception applies, as it is discussing temporary service per https://www.chelanpud.org/docs/default-source/default-docume...)

For miners that have negotiated a non-residential supply, there are additional terms that apply (e.g. HIGH DENSITY LOAD Schedule 35) that the miners _may_ not be complying with.
Maybe. But those required quite a lot of money or rare resources, so while they were supporting emerging classes that could afford it, only Internet allowed almost everyone to have a voice (well, OK, still most of the Earth's population has problems surviving, so we aren't there yet).
The other side is that you paid $7,000 for a pet rock.
And yet the annualized rate of return of a total stock market index from 1990 to 2017 is 9.82%. There are absolutely booms and busts. It’s absolutely not stable when you look inside the cycles. But there are, reliably, cycles. Period and amplitude vary. But on a long enough time horizon, it works out. It’s also expected to decree as your risk exposure as you get closer to retirement to mitigate the risk of retiring at an unlucky time.
For example breathing techniques help in concentration "The Yogi masters were right – breathing exercises can sharpen your mind. New research explains link between breath-focused meditation and brain health" http://www.tcd.ie/news_events/articles/the-yogi-masters-were...

Not to mention the link between psychology conditions, like anxiety, depression, etc. and breathing. Studies show that breathing techniques help improve mood, and in fact inviduals that have improper breathing, or arrhythmic breathing also tend to be afflicted by certain psychological ailments which when improved also reduce, and in some cases cure individuals.
Why does anyone pay money to promote anything when often you can simply deal directly with the aggregator: the illusion of authenticity and relevance.

ZFS is “fast enough” depending on the use case.

Throwing expensive hardware at it to make it perform better than XFS is... an interesting “benchmarking” methodology.
I have always wondered how professional mathematicians work day to day. It depends on their field of course, but I guess most still use pen and paper (or a digital version, i.e iPad Pro + Apple Pencil / Wacom). I have at least never seen any tools for "explorative" manipulation of symbolic expressions. TeX etc works great for final type setting, but when going from mind to _something_ I guess that something is still paper, or an equivalent. Would be really interesting to see the equivalent of an IDE / good text editor for math, perhaps with pen input for speed.
>Furthermore even though these lasers are very cheap, by army norms, to fire, they're still 600$ or so for a single shot. So shooting down drones will be expensive. Far more expensive than the drones themselves.

Where are you getting that $600 number? The laser in the article quoted is 150kW, which firing for a fraction of a second would be no more than a few dollars electricity.
I've been trying to find an email server which was mentioned in a comment a few months ago. I read through the setup instructions - the only point I remember is once it's setup one can add as many domains to it as one wants - if I remember correctly. There were several that popped up this past year, https://mailinabox.email this being one of them but I don't think it was the one I'm talking about. The setup instructions were clear.
