We got good models for pretty good chunk of phenomena of scales from subatomic to galaxy wide and beyond. Astonishing is the fact that same laws give good predictions on both ends of the scale. I think that's the reason behind the assumption we have most figured out.

But in the middle happens most what we cannot comprehend. How does a cell know when to divide. How exactly the process goes. Why do we have consciousness? Having theories capable of describing atoms and stars we can't figure out the middle, this is fascinating.

Imho the issue is the complexity of system. Stars and atoms are actually not that far apart. In the middle the amount of effects with comparable magnitude and stable states are the greatest.
Not just "more often" but essential. We've been at four hardware threads for a decade now, and we're just entering a new era where increasing the number of CPU cores is becoming a marketing tactic.
It's likely that Alexander would have taken over Italy had he lived a couple more decades. He definitely could have done it.

Italy was a back water in 300 bc. with the great political and cultural centres to the east of Greece. What would attract Alexander to Italy?
Working for a early stage startup depends on the stage of life, your financial freedom and your ability to hustle.

Early stage startup requires that you work a lot more than 40 hours of week with a big pay cut compared to what you would get at an established company. This usually is not a problem for individual or couple who don't have kids but very difficult for people with school kids. You have less time and less money -- both have direct impact on how your kids grow up. Is it worth taking the risk? This depends on your values and how you define success in life.

Your roles and responsibilities are not well defined. Even for a software engineer, you have to split your time helping sales, customer support and marketing. I personally find this aspect super exciting but I know a lot of people who don't like and wont thrive in this kind of environment.

Most startups fail. Founders and VCs can screw you -- intentionally or unintentionally. Odds are just stacked against you if you define success by financial gains.
>>> REST is not intended to be a RPC protocol. Comparing it to one isn't appropriate.

>> Ah yes, an obligatory reminder about this cute little original idea that never got implemented for computers to consume.

> The web, as it is consumed by humans, generally adheres to the RESTful constraints quite well.

Quite an apt observation: as consumed by humans. But we're comparing
something that's commonly called "REST" to an RPC protocol, and RPC
protocols are quite clearly intended for computers, not humans. This something
that is commonly called "REST", even if you argue it's called incorrectly, is
very far from the famous PhD thesis.

> You are mistaken in your assertion that this was never implemented, considering the fact you posted this comment from a REST client.

OK. If you say that I'm wrong about implementations, show me where's
a production system where the computer is the primary consumer (i.e. not
merely a terminal for displaying something to a human operator, and not
a second-class citizen like web crawling bots) and the system is RESTful in
the original meaning. I can't think of even a single one. Note, however, that
WWW cannot be considered such an implementation, because its primary consumer
is human, not computer, and I remind you once again: we're talking under this
post about unsupervised computer-to-computer communication, where human
operator is a rare guest.

> A general comparison of REST and RPC is as unproductive and harmful as blindly making "REST APIs" everywhere.

Much less productive is trying to pull an unrelated idea (the original meaning
of "REST") into discussion about machine-to-machine communication, especially
that the original term was created post factum to describe WWW's
architecture (already existing back then!) and wasn't used for pretty much
anything else, so introducing the term hasn't advanced nor produced anything.

If your state machine event handlers are non-blocking, then the thread pool is the same size as the number of available hyperthreads. That's not hard either. And, as observed elsewhere, it becomes impossible to screw up. That's a powerful property, and makes it possible for non-embedded 'normal' folks to write correct code in this space.
You might want to take a look at our talk from Google I/O about the new runtime

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogexnfng_hE&t=515s

The new runtime is 100% idiomatic without any special apis. We do offer certain native libraries pre compiled system libraries (to support headless chrome among other things) and certain ENV Variables for gcp API tokens.

You should be able to lift and shift a GAE Standard Node.js app to any other provider with minimal overhead.

I can't make direct promises regarding the runtime update cadence, but I can promise that I work closely with the people responsible for this and they care a lot about getting updates out in a timely fashion. The new runtime stack makes this easier to do than previous GAE Standard runtimes.

(Disclaimer: I work for GCP)

I have to disagree with you here. Psychedelics help people - the idea that they should only be taken by individuals who are in a 'good' place is missing so much of the point IMO. I began experimenting with psychedelics during the darkest period of my life and it was absolutely the right decision. Yes, there are things that can go wrong - even to a 'healthy' mind. To those out there in all-encompassing pain and darkness - don't think that a trip will necessarily amplify your current mental state - I argue that psychs are a ladder to help you climb out of whatever hole has you trapped. FWIW I believe marijuana has a higher risk of throwing someone into nasty thought loops than psychedelics.
I'm sure there's a fair amount of signal there, but when they say 'we're not worried about why' I wonder how many false positives they end up going with.

Car-centric urban design certainly needs a change. I haven't owned a car in 20 years, and would love to see improvement. But I don't think you can have "massive and immediate disruption" to urban design. It's literally set in concrete. And as I said, I'm all for people trying out scooters.

That scooter-spam startups are a smaller problem compared to cars does not make the problems not exist. It especially does not remove the problem of entrepreneurs shifting negative externalities of their business models on to anybody who doesn't protest loudly enough.
It's 15 million of codes the full source, that includes supports for like 10 different hardware architectures, and device drivers for every hardware that was ever made!

When you compile the linux kernel you will compile only a small fraction of these lines of code, and distributions typically compile drivers and a lot of things as modules, so you load them only when you need them. You can compile the kernel to fit in as much as a couple of Mb of space, very useful for embedded systems (my openWRT router has a 8Mb of internal flash memory, and runs Linux 4.4!)

And if we compare Linux with for example Windows is pretty small, Windows kernel source is said to weight a couple of gigabytes, and this for a kernel that supports only one (ok, now two with Windows for ARM) computer architectures and doesn't include device drivers (besides the basic ones)

2. They will continue to give away free or cheap HBO to AT&T or DIRECTV NOW customers

3. Comcast will more aggressively bid for FOX which means either Disney or Comcast will become the majority stakeholder for Hulu

Unreal! A couple years ago I went into an Apple store prepared to buy an iMac. I'd done my research, knew which model, knocked it around a little in the store, had no reservations about making the purchase. At that point I walked and stood around the store like an idiot for about 20 minutes, asking if I could buy a computer. After being passed around like a cold, moldy potato between Apple employees dealing with other customers who had not yet reached buying decisions, I left, disgusted. Ended up going to Best Buy instead, saved a few bucks.
> Tesla has $28.6 billion in assets, according to NASDAQ[0], yet their market cap is nearly twice that. Is that a normal ratio?

No. Ford has $257 billion in assets for example but a smaller market cap than Tesla.

One could argue that "Market cap" is a poor metric of size and that "Enterprise Value" is better. Teslas numbers move in the right direction if you're looking at Enterprise Value, but its still kinda bad in terms of classical evaluation.

---------

Ultimately, the only way you square the round-hole of Tesla's balance sheet is imagining future earnings, future assets, and future growth. Alternatively, you invest because you believe in the cause and not because you plan to make money in the stock. Arguably irrational. But the world isn't really about money. I generally respect people who make that kind of decision, as long as they don't become an annoying fanboy.
D3 is for high performance custom data visalizations.

For example, I built a in-door navigation app. It would receive its data via MQTT/WebSockets and update markers on custom maps.

D3 was perfect for this, it helped with synchronizing graphics with data, converting mapping cooridnates to DOM/SVG coordinates and easing all the updates so stuff looked smooth.

You just would pump the incoming data into the D3 pipeline and be done with it.

If you just need a few animations, there are a bunch of simple libraries for this. React has react-motion for example, it's not as flexible as D3 but you get most stuff you would expect out of it without much hassle.

If you just need a set of basic charts, use a charting library. Highcharts or Charts.js are both very capable.

We certainly ban cars from driving and parking on sidewalks. We ban people turning sidewalks into commercial parking lots. And we have a whole evolving system of rules and customs worked out over the last 100 years around how to make sure cars interact safely with everything else, including licensing and policing.

Also, quite a few of these people literally did just show up to my city. Some of the most hazardous users are pretty obviously tourists.
It does make the world a little more free, and I have some sympathy for some of those causes.

It also seems to come at a great price, in terms of pollution and energy waste. Your right to buy heroin, or child pornography, or organically grown cruelty-and-cartel free marijuana is great, but your externalities are horrific.

>>This alternative classical mechanics is non-deterministic, despite the use of deterministic equations, in a way similar to quantum theory.

That conclusion strongly reminds me of a claim made in the following paper:

https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Vladimir_Garcia-Morales... Garcia-Morales, Vladimir - Quantum Mechanics and the Principle of Least Radix Economy

To quote:

"… The formulation provides an explanation of how determinism and random statistical behavior coexist in spacetime and a framework is developed that allows dynamical processes to be formulated in terms of chains of digits. …"

(A note about that paper: It seems, to me, that it incorrectly uses a non-general formula to calculate radix economy, one which only applies to unsigned number systems. A fact making the rest of the paper - which unfortunately goes rather beyond my math & physics skills - somewhat dubious, albeit not wrong, to me.)
Perhaps this is a good time to dig up an article which presents one mechanism I found interesting a few years back.

Debian's packaging system wasn't designed for third parties to ship their own packages. It has become the norm, but it isn't in Debian's philosophy to obstruct users from doing what they want.

Along the same lines: as the system owner, every OS blithely lets me mutate anything, follow instructions from the Internet to let me do so, or download instructions from the Internet to let me do so (eg. "setup.exe"). The exception is locked down hardware such as iOS devices.

Interesting. I would have thought that you do it by (expected) lifetime of the panels. I haven't had my system for a full year yet so I don't have complete numbers, but it seems to be anywhere from .5 (winter) to 1.1 MWh per month.

Assuming I end up generating 8 MWh per year, I'll use that number along with an expected lifetime of, say, 20 years. So: lifetime production of 160 MWh, and my system (after incentives) was something around $18K.

$18,000 / 160,000 kWh = $0.11 / kWh.

If my system lasts 25 years, that goes down to 9 cents per kWh.

(note: I think I have a 10 year loan but will likely pay it off way earlier than that, but it wouldn't factor into this calculation other than interest)
> Graecia capta ferum victorem cepit (once defeated, Greece conquered its savage captor)

A better translation would be "captured Greece has conquered its savage captor", since that better captures (pun intended) the intended parallel between capta and cepit--both are forms of the same verb. (Also cepit is perfect tense, hence "has conquered".)

So you have time to hike, but during the winter you don't because of poor weather conditions and lack of money to invest in good gear.

But then if you have that time, why not use it for bodyweight exercise at home?

It costs absolutely nothing, requires no equipment, and weather is not an issue. You could be getting quality exercise for free during the same time that you would have otherwise spent hiking.

The most salient point that the article breaches is this: When people unfamiliar with the DOM, javascript, or indeed in some cases programming itself try to 'pick up' a complex low level data visualization library like D3, it is natural for them to blame the library. But the problem obviously runs much deeper than that.

Running with the analogy in the article -- it is fruitless for someone who's never done any woodworking or furniture design ever to hope to become the next Charles Eames within the span of a few months.
> The trouble with D3 is to build a visualization you must also have a deep understanding of SVG, DOM, JavaScript, geometry, color spaces, data structures, the standard model, and quantum physics.

Australia moved from the much weaker Oceania Football Confederation, apparently in 2006, to a better Asian Football Confederation, better in the sense that the competition was stronger but not by much (if you put aside Iran, Japan and South Korea). Qualifying from this region is not nearly as tough as qualifying from other more competitive regions.

Australia as a country is known to spend real money on sports. They are able to produce top athletes, that's not a problem.

Australia has been able to participate in the Confed Cup and World Cup tournaments which helps boost its ranking because more points are allocated for participating in those tournaments.

Whether Australia poses a real threat to the dominant powers, that's a different story altogether. Moving to a Asia surely paid off dividends for them though.

Visualisation is fundamentally the process of creating a mapping function between the dimensions of your domain data and that of the "screen" (whether it's DOM, SVG, Canvas, etc.). D3 is just a library of higher-order functions that can help you produce that mapping function.

If you can grasp this idea of visualisation as creating a mapping function, then D3 becomes a beautiful toolbox for assisting you. You decide which dimension of your data you want to represent as the horizontal dimension, which as the vertical, as color, as size, etc. You decide how you want to scale them. Then you use D3's high-order functions to create the appropriate individual mapping functions, compose them into your complete visualisation function, and pass it your domain data.

If you think of D3 as a "charting library", or a collection of visualisation classes or objects, then you're going to struggle. But the problem isn't with D3, it's that you haven't really understood the paradigm of the library.
