Keep in mind $9 billion in sales is not quite massive revenue in the pool that Ant is now swimming. Their financial footing is not nearly so large as their scale of processing, they've only begun generating meaningful profit in the last year or two. Google is at $110 billion in sales, JP Morgan is at $94 billion, those are massive.

The dilution of current stakeholders is intentional. I believe it was required by Chinese authorities (my speculation).

I've been following Ant / Alipay with curiosity ever since Jack Ma stole it from Softbank and Yahoo (along with the rest of Alibaba shareholders). There have been a lot of bizarre things done with the company over time. Jack Ma for example gave himself the large majority share of ownership in the spun off entity, and then proceeded to voluntarily debase his ownership dramatically with no compensation. And now, having screwed Alibaba over with the Ant Financial spin out, Alibaba was recently forced by Jack Ma to buy a chunk of Ant again (33% of it).

My guess on some of these choices, is that it's about nationalism (taking Ant away from foreign owners of Alibaba) and the requirement by Chinese authorities that Jack Ma not have too much power (and that Ant's ownership not be so concentrated in general). If he had held onto the stolen position in Ant Financial + his stake in Alibaba, he'd be closing in on the world's richest person title (~$100b in Ant, ~$30b in Alibaba + cash). That's a spotlight you do not want right now if you're under Xi. I'm certain the Chinese authorities do not want one person owning the majority control of something like Ant Financial, given its size and importance to the economy. There's no other rational reason for Ma to have voluntarily given up so much ownership in Ant, he's shrinking himself as a target (plausibly he was given no choice; I suspect it was always the plan from the moment Ant was taken from Alibaba).

Or put it simply: Ant may end up being worth several hundred billion dollars. Imagine Jack Ma owning 2/3 of something worth $400 billion. Now picture the target on his back, that would go along with such power and control over the Chinese economy. It'd be Jack Ma vs Xi, and Jack Ma would lose; a very dangerous game to play if you're a simple civilian. Better to stay smaller and get to continue doing what you want to do (operate Alibaba and Ant), by giving up some power, ownership, and not being in any way perceived as a meaningful threat to the authorities and their absolute control.

I think we'll reach $50/kWh well before 2025. That's also around the same time we should have a global production of about 800GWh-1TWh per year (bulk of that from Chinese factories), or about 20x the current production.

Assuming an average battery size of 50kWh for an EV by then, even that capacity should only be enough for around -15-20 million EVs a year, or about 20-25% of the annual car sales. I may be a little optimistic here on battery size. It's possible many EVs will be super-cheap with 30kWh batteries, but we'll also see many more buses and trucks with 300+ kWh batteries. We'll need to go from 1TWh to 2 and 3TWh pretty quickly especially if we are to use batteries for utilities, too.

Around the same time we should begin to see car makers start using the much safer solid state batteries in their EVs. These will be more expensive (probably not more than what Li-Ion batteries cost right now) and they will start shipping in $50,000+ EVs at first, but they will eventually trickle down just as Li-Ion batteries have and will.

What I want to know is why do smartphone manufacturers think it's okay to sell $800 phones with 3,000 mAh batteries about four years after shipping them for the first time on the market. They did exactly the same thing with storage. They kept 16GB as default for a few years in their flagships, to the point where it cost them 4x less/GB than it did when they first launched with a 16GB drive.

I'm trying to think of how to make money on this. It seems like both industries (storage and solar) are going to be highly competitive even if they're the future. There's no natural monopoly. The most straightforward bet would be to short oil stocks or maybe petrol stations, since electrification will lead to their downfall as system effects work in reverse. Or maybe the key is to find industries with natural monopolies held back by electricity costs.

>Who? When? Where?

The CCC and most of its members - and they don't exactly hide it. The CCC founder was on the far left and that's exactly the course it took.

They have talks by Antifa activists. They have combined CCC and Antifa logos hanging in their centers: https://twitter.com/DandelionInaBox/status/90147462783431884...

German Antifa are about as extremist as it gets and they are rightly watched by the state police. They threaten and attack citizens and police for political reasons and do about everything else that's considered extremist.

tl;dr: Left extremism is openly accepted by the CCC.

I wonder whether this means we should not expect any more performance improvements on a < Java 10 JVM. That would be good to know, as that influences what I can expect for code running at a place that just upgraded to Java 8 and probably won’t switch to 10+ for many years to come.
There's some impressive engineering involved in JRuby and some interesting possibilities with the Graal JIT. That said, I've had a net negative experience working on a product with a mix of Java and JRuby code. The JRuby LOC was in the high 5 to low 6-digit figures and while the interop with Java was good (so long as it was done carefully in performance-critical sections), the instability of the JRuby 9k releases was so bad that we spent an inordinate amount of time tracking down regressions. We also had a kind of chicken and egg problem keeping current with newer Java versions because that required newer JRuby releases but those introduced more regressions. Unfortunately, the net effect of all of this is that the product is languishing because of the development effort required just to keep it current let alone to develop new features. At least in our case, choosing JRuby as a platform proved to be a strategic mistake.
I agree with you, weather is different during different seasons and other factors. No matter what the global average temperature is increasing, with that is the certainty that areas affected will have increased capacity for moisture in the air. As of 2017, this is the majority of the globe, will have greater capacity for increase humidity from previous years. I've provided data showing the anomaly over time is warmer for that majority of our planet.

If you are logged into your Google account in the "private" session, your private session will carry session-level data (i.e Google's cookies) that will persist until the last private window is closed and that data can and will be associated with your account.

So if you are logged in to Google, even in a private window, they will be tracking you through and and all of their properties. If you don't want to be tracked as you in private windows, don't log in as you in private windows.

This part isn't Google (or anyone else in their position)'s doing, it is by browser design. Browsers do what they can to make it difficult to detect the difference between normal and "private" windows so Google can reliably detect is that at the start of the private session you have no Google cookies, which is the same behaviour if you had moved to using a fresh new browser (in private mode or not). It is currently possible to work out that you are in private mode in many browsers using various tricks (some browsers/versions disable cookies in private mode in a manner detectable via navigator.cookieEnabled, some disable all local storage options in a way that can be detected by exceptions firing when you try use them, some disable service workers, ...) but none of these tricks are 100% reliable (even, I suspect, if you try use them all) and may all become 100% unreliable at a later date. If they can't reliably detect you are in a private window, then they can't reliably turn off tracking of your logged-in activity in private windows.

> They can definitely tell it’s the same user who just opened a new private tab

This is a slightly different matter. Here the link may contain information that can be used to pollute the private island. So they know opening that advert link in a private window was done by you because the URL contains a code that was only given out to use (in a non-private window). But again, if they can't reliably detect the privacy settings they can't be expected to do anything about them.

> Google associates your browsing history with your Google account when your not logged in and using private browsing.

This could partly be the case, though not in a practically avoidable manner. This is the problem because people will assume that Google and their ilk can't continue to track you, not that it is difficult to know they should stop tracking you, when you do something like right-click-open-in-private-tab. The trick is to never log into your account in a private window and never follow links from non-private windows in private ones (without verifying they don't carry personal/session data first), but try explaining that to the average user who barely knows what a cookie is.
The big advantage of batteries over any other kind of storage is very quick reaction times allowing to greately improove stability of the greed.

As for the battery technology Sodium–sulfur batteries could be a in theory a better option for storage on industrial scale, but I guess Gigafactory makes lithium ion batteries sufficiently cheap and in sufficient quantities now.

Imagine people being in court and trying to argue that to a court or jury. The copyright holder arguing that the Service is made available online, presenting screenshots and video of copyrighted elements being presented through a online service, and the defense arguing that the service is not made available since the Proprietary service sits between the user and service.

Getting around the law through technical means sounds great from a technical standpoint but tend to fall flat once a non-technical person looks at it and don't see the technical layer. The obvious example was BitTorrent which people initial argued did not constitute copyright infringement based on an number of arguments, one being that only minor parts of the whole work is ever sent by any single person. Similar people argued that streaming was legal since no one received a copy of the work. Outside-> streaming service -> copyrighted work did not really separate outside from the copyrighted work in a way that made a legal difference.

This is so true. Living in Southern China, things are done a certain way, many young women want the "good life" as they perceive it, with all its trappings, and that means becoming mistresses, KTV girls, and everything in between. With a dirth of good paying jobs, people go where the money is. There is a saying, "cry in the back of a BMW vs. laugh on the back of a bicycle". Much more pragmatism here when you don't have to deal with the judeo-christian restraints. Not judging, it is what it is.
Seems like a mistake to me. Charge a small fee ($5-10) for "beta testers" (aka everyone now) limited to 2000 users. If you don't sell anything - fine. But if you do, it'll encourage and enable you to continue developing and may even generate more interest/publicity (FOMO).

Thank you for asking. I don't mean "discipline" in a physical way of course. I simply mean that I am not going to explain to them why they are not allowed to do certain things or why I want them to do certain things when they are too young because they don't' understand why. I was responding to the idea that you need to explain to kids why or we would get mischievous kids.

With regards to the feelings. It's not as simple as you seem to portray. Kids will use that to get things their way there are plenty examples of parents who accept all their kid's emotions at face value and end up running around being controlled by their kids.

So a balance is needed.

And yes I agree that they should do as many things themselves which also for our kids means getting a lot of bruises for falling down from things (within reason obviously)

It's all about balance. Don't deny your kid their emotions when they are real but "call them on their bluff" when they are not. That's my approach at least.

And quite frankly, internet journalism was fine for 15-20 years... suddenly everybody cries "we're gonna die!". Dunno, seems weird to me -- but I admit I am not following news about this with much fervor.

Many people wouldn't care if 95% of the internet media disappears tomorrow. Most write clickbait opinionated BS anyway.

So the alarmism around the issue seems to mostly serve the business survival interests of the said media and nothing else.

It depends on the product and business model. Some kinds of companies can scale organically. Some need lots of initial investment. If one needs lots of initial investment, the investors are going to expect a large return.

Tony Buzan's speed reading book brings this up, particularly the eye movement.

The eye has two types of movement: the one you use to move from one object to another; and then the one that follows an object. He recommends the latter when speed reading, using a pen or pointy thing as an aid, your eyes following the tip as you sweep it across the page. You can move it from side to side, or down the middle, or zig-zagging, etc.

You accompany this with a metronome, to move the pen in regular movements.

I think in time the idea is that you can abandon the pen and metronome once you've got used to reading this way.
That was before 40 years of culture wars on the issue. Today the majority of the country is pro choice.

This is how other factual data copyrights tend to work (such as maps and phone books).

It's not a copyright violation to collect and share the same information. It _is_ a copyright violation to simply copy and republish the data from a given source.

So how can a map-maker tell that someone copied them instead of collecting their own information? They insert watermarks in the form of inaccurate data (such as inserting a small city that doesn't actually exist). See: https://www.google.com/amp/s/gizmodo.com/the-fake-places-tha... and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictitious_entry.

I wonder what kind of fictious entry you could inject into sports data that wouldn't compromise the quality of the data too severely?
