I can confirm, I have grid-tied solar panels and have gotten outages in the middle of sunny days which is usually the time my panels are actually supplying surplus power to the grid.

Only way to have juice during power outages in my configuration is to add something like the 7K Tesla battery.
Ask HN: Why academic researchers aren't rewarded according to their impact?
Everyone involved in any innovation cycle depends on academic research one way or another. That's especially true in the field of Information Technology. The 'success' that people seek is based on the advancement of general Human knowledge that is gracefully provided to them for free. Customers praise the companies 'geniuses' for doing this or that, but at the end of the day, their job has been to make profit out of these researches.

One might say that people are either driven by money or recognition. To be fair, I think most of contemporary researchers do not get a cut of anything. They rather struggles to fund their careers.

How can our society be so manipulative towards our brightest minds?
How can we keep open research and fairly distribute rewards?

JK- just looking for those impurities.
Saying it's straightforward is not the same as easy. Step 2 is definitely not second nature to me since communicating well on the job is different from communicating your skills well on an interview. I can do the former just fine, but not the latter.

Personal website:

This is something I don't have at the moment, though I don't quite agree it's truly necessary because the majority of programmers don't have/need one. So I could just aim to be like them. Since they "clock out" their mind after 5 every day not thinking about code and still be able to hold a career, then having a website seems irrelevant. They're able to hold a career by doing less than the recommended.

Projects:

I already have several on Github, some that have impressed bigger companies like Cloudflare and Coinbase and prompted them to give me an interview.

When I prepare for an interview I don't really do grinding for technical questions, or review things on a sheet of paper. I like to wing it and give it my honest try, because my mind is clearest when I don't have to consciously think of any body language or verbal cues over the phone.

Grabbing a coffee with people:

A lot of my colleagues live out of state right now so it'd be impossible for them. For others I'll see if I can actually balance my budget around it as silly as that sounds but like I said I have $48 and my next month's phone bill is going to use some of that.

I also regularly message/email my group of contacts asking about job openings, but they always say some form of "sorry, I don't know of anything right now." Every time. Maybe I have really bad luck and bad timing with talking to them.

I'm gonna try another side project but it's starting to get less motivating to do so when you want more instant gratification the more time passes by.

But it seems like nothing else matters to living on the grid if you can't grok one thing: job interviews. It's crazy to think one's entire livelihood revolves around that.

I think I do too. I'm always tired and weak. Check ups and blood works are OK, and doctors I see just say 'there's nothing wrong with you, you're probably just depressed'. Nope.

This is very striking to me. Does the power company get actual readings on your solar energy consumption, or is the tiering based on estimated solar usage?

"[Google] talks to me like I have no idea how tech companies work internally, but I do. After the next reorg they won't remember any commitments the previous management made."

OMG this is so true in our experience. Google doesn't quite lie, but they come very close. They are always changing people and policies, always in a downward direction. Makes me think they won't be around for much longer. They're just maximizing a monopoly, and everything they do reinforces that view.
I’m sorry I didn’t see this earlier. My comment was based on what I remember from attorneys discussing why Judith Miller was in jail for refusing to name her source, and why she only got out of jail when Libby told her she didn’t need to keep protecting him.

According to Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reporter%27s_privilege ) there is some kind of legal privilege, in some cases. But since reporters do end up in jail for contempt of court, it certainly doesn’t go as far as they seem to believe.
Serb here, not sure why would anyone "mix up" macedonians and serbs in any context, and why is a bigger differentiation necessary. Even in the bloodiest years on the Balkans, the relations were very reasonable. Today in Serbia, even the most nationalistic groups (of any kind of influence), don't take Northern Macedonia in discussion.

The relations between Bulgaria and Macedonia were a bit more bumpy, I don't know all of the details, but Bulgarians* consider(ed) Macedonians just as a part of their own and their language as a dialect. Serbian and Macedonian languages are far to different for that. Yes, we can understand each other with some trouble, but that is no where near like Croatian, Bosnian, Montenegrin and Serbian which at times sound identical.

The only issue is the conflict between the Serbian and Macedonian Orthodox churches, but that really does not have effect on anything else than themselves.
Milgram didn't persuade these people that science is good. He persuaded them that what they'd be asked to do was for science.

In either case, it's far off from the "people follow orders" narrative. When teachers in the Milgram experiment were confronted with direct orders their compliance rates plummeted. They were compliant when they believed they were cooperating Milgram, and uncompliant when they believed they were being ordered by Milgram. During their periods of compliance they identified with Milgram by sharing the common goal of advancing science. The forth prod, the direct order ("You have no other choice, you must go on") caused any perception of a shared identity between the teacher and Milgram to evaporate and with it, their compliance.

According to the 2002 Census, 46.5% of the children aged 0–4 were Muslim. Macedonians will be minority very soon. It might come a time when this country will be called Eastern Albania.

Given the extreme nationalism of the Macedonians I do not think this country will resist history very long in this configuration. And if they do not accept the Albanians and do not live in peace with them they will be soon a tiny joke country.
It's a way of storing energy, not generating it.
> And you can't use Polymer elements in React because React passes data as attributes whereas Polymer expects properties

This is mostly React's existing opinion that elements don't even need properties set, and is not the fault of Polymer or Web Components. Most Polymer elements are fine with simple types like strings or numbers being set as properties or attributes.

> "Web Components" are now a largely non-intersecting collection of mutually incompatible frameworks and libs: https://custom-elements-everywhere.com

That is a site that says how well _frameworks_ work with Custom Elements, ie do they make closed-world assumptions about HTML that interfere with using Custom Elements. It says nothing much about what a Web Component is, so I'm not sure how Web Components could be "non-intersecting".

> Good luck using Polymer's <custom-element binding="{{a.b}}"> anywhere

I know you troll every Web Components and Polymer discussion you can now, but this is just a non-sequitur. Polymer's template syntax is only used to implement elements with Polymer. `<custom-element binding="{{a.b}}">` would only ever occur in a Polymer template and is not intended to be used "everywhere", so no luck is needed, thank you.
That's because they are so well hidden and not in the least bit advertised. We just all assume the worst of companies and generally are proven correct.

Last I checked one of the biggest datahoarders of all, facebook, did not actually delete your data when you told them to, instead the squirreled it away somewhere in a data warehouse just in case.
A great example of an executive who has led the rapid development of a business but drastically needed more mentorship would be Travis Kalanik formerly of Uber. Running a large and successful company well is much, much more than just generating revenue and valuation.

I still can't believe retail establishments think it's a good idea to degrade the customer experience by letting third-party salespeople rove their stores. I know Home Depot et al are making money from it, but I can't imagine there are many customers coming away with positive feelings from these come-ons.
> That is one of the reasons I decided to leave the US after I moved there. I found it WAY to hard to live healthy there. Sugar is added to so much stuff in America. Not only that but it is usually added in much larger quantities than I am used to at home.

It is a lot better now. In just the last 2 years the low carb movement has really kicked off, it is super easy to get no sugar or low sugar options. Restaurants now swap out buns (which have added sugar in them of course) without question, no sugar BBQ sauce is finally a thing, no sugar ketchup is a thing now, and there are even a lot of sugar free snack food options.

As someone who has been doing Keto for ~5 years, this last year has been the easiest yet.
This is exactly what Web Components already do. Web Components are just HTML elements, and generally usable in any framework or with no framework.

Which started with their purchase of Postini, IIRC. One of the premier commercial spam identification and filtering services.

Checking this, a quick search finds:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postini

Oh, and, perhaps a bit ironically with respect to recent conversation and concerns around Google and its acquisitions:

In September 2011, Google announced it would discontinue a number of its products, including Google Web Security, which was acquired by Google as part of Postini.[7] On August 21, 2012, Google announced it would be shutting down all of Postini's web services and folding the service's users into Google Apps.

I recall that, but it was no longer in my conscious memory.
Maybe because people think space is cool and there's been close to zero progress for decades before they came along? Or maybe because the goal is something more than just making money, something that clearly set them apart from the other entities in the field, at least when they started.
> If I want to pass an array of ids to a sub-component declaratively, there's not really an easy way to do it.

This seems like a framework layer feature and not something that should be baked into the standard. I don't think web components are supposed to act like a framework and optimize a particular workflow or programming style.

I think the way snabbdom implements props just assigns Javascript properties to the DOM object.

Lost in translation, they are not A majority, but their parties are a part of the ruling majority. Sorry, that's just how we usually refer to it around here.
Well, I can only say that we have 95% the same language with a few letters inserted by the serbs. If you look at both greek and albanian languages it's easy to see that they are VERY different than ours. Now, whoever tries to convince you otherwise, is wrong and it's not hard to conclude that given this language similarity and no nearby such similarity it's easy to figure out their origin :)
For inter-component communication, sounds like redux would be a big help for you. Polymer has a mixin you could use: https://github.com/Polymer/pwa-helpers/blob/master/connect-m.... You're not using Stencil, but if others do, it has a redux connector or a simpler state tunnel system for passing state to child components (https://stenciljs.com/).
You're right, but because it's not part of the standard, there's various implementations. This is what I meant about consensus.
That's certainly true. But one doesn't require the axiom "only physical objects exist" to do physics, and that principal is not universally accepted among physicists.

This paper -- although I'm an outsider to physics, and I'm way more comfortable evaluating mathematics and computer science research -- seems like it has an interesting and novel approach to a theoretical problem in physics. I don't understand why the author felt the need to couple this with the given title and stress this point so much. It almost felt like click-bait, until I understood generally what was being done.

I've worked in the USA as a developer. I wouldn't do it again for any amount of money. Money is an imperfect measure of total value. The total value to me of my comfortable home, full medical insurance regardless of employment status, short commuting distance, 7 weeks of paid holiday, well I won't bore you with all the details.

Just the amount of time saved in not having to argue with US medical insurance companies about fully insured bills, is worth it to me. So yes, I'll take civilisation - when I add it all up, I not only earn more here, but I actually have some spare time to spend it in.
> One major issue we've had though, which wasn't touched in this article, is inter-component communication among siblings. Sure you can just do a global event bus, and that works, but I've yet to see an elegant solution for this yet.

Would Redux potentially be a good fit? It's a "global event bus" kind of thing, but with a pretty clear information flow model and an increasingly large user community. (Both of which are good things, IMHO.)
No. The real issue is that these APIs/platforms are closed source. Sooner or later you may need to move a service from appengine to a non-gae environment and you will find that nothing works. If you invest in tools/libs (i.e wrappers/ORM around the GAE APIs) the loss is even bigger.
Arguably siblings needing to communicate is "code smell". Is there a way to restructure so that this isn't needed?

The interesting thing in this is coming right out with how the company built its numbers with botted traffic and referrer-spammed traffic. This is generally under-remarked upon because everyone except for advertisers tends to want to not mention this common practice.

If you bot hard enough you can get real investors and advertisers to fork over hundreds of millions of dollars.

If people going bankrupt have marketable skills and are doing everything in their power to find a job in a hot market, I would be brave enough to lend them some money for the transition.

My point is that Tesla's success in ramping up production is not as improbable as you make it sound. They are focussing all their resources on this goal, and at least to my mind, they are likely to succeed.

Wow, yes, that's exactly it. Normal numbers.

It's been 20 years since I majored in math, so maybe I did encounter these and just don't remember. Looks like there is a proof that almost all real numbers are normal, but where it comes to specific numbers pi, e, sqrt(2), they are thought to be normal but no proof.

Ask HN: How did you get your first remote job?
How you came to know about the opening? How experienced were you? How was the interview? What were the challenges?
...and many of the rest were killed, because they were resisting, and/or to cow others who might have tried to resist.

You're missing the point: telling victims they're victiming wrong (literally, as in, "You're doing that wrong", which is so unbelievably much of this thread) is bullshit. It's especially so if you have no relevant experience on which to make that judgement, and that goes double if your likelihood of having that experience is structurally negligible. Hand-waving about how someone should handle something that has never — and, for practical purposes, will never — happen to you is ludicrous on its face.

Generics (when used/implemented correctly) provide way more than just elimination of type assertions. It provides compile-time type safety, rather than runtime safety. It also provides elimination of the overhead (which isn't trivial, reflection is not inconsequential) and boilerplate code. It also allows you to use the same function/method for many different types without having to resort to boxing everything to an interface/object.
For auditing there are auditing companies, they can timestamp the consumers data.

I don't think that's true. Think about the adjectives associated with curiosity and wonder - 'childlike' definitely comes to mind. 'Interest' is an adult word, though - that implies a trajectory and a path, where curiosity and wonder are general.
It's the Balkans: disputes may seem inane to an external observer but they last generations and usually end up in (or perpetuated by) wars. It's the first time since I can remember where a dispute is resolved peacefully, without huge external pressure.

I don't know how long it's going to last but to be honest it was a prime example of ostrichism on our part (I'm Greek btw). Not that the other side didn't partake in kitsch demonstrations of nationalism, but at some point we should have taken cue from the rest of the world that called the country Macedonia and moved on, rather than pretend the matter is not de facto over and behave like a stubborn child
