Obviously there is going to be an increased amount of solar and wind coming online in the near future, and I don't think that anyone running a power system network at the distribution or transmission level is going to dispute that. However there definitely is uncertainty about how much, and there is even more uncertainty about what our loads are going to look like with large amounts of EVs coming online and potential battery deployments. These things could have a big impact on the size and timing of grid peaks and inertia which can require big investments to manage appropriately. And as with any big investment, you want to make it at the right time, and you want to be sure that you are going to make a return on that investment.
> I think the blame here is mostly on the science community which isn't paying much attention to ML tooling, best practices and research

While the science community doesn't have a great track record for quality software engineering, that's an awfully arrogant position.

Most ML tooling sucked, and it's only just getting better in terms of usability. But even then it's very software engineer-y in the worst kind of way, e.g. "Coming soon: PyTorch 1.0 ready for research and production" [0]. Great.

If you're doing research in one field, you don't really want to spend the time to become an expert in another one just to do some analysis. What you want is tools you can reliably (ab)use, like maths. But there often isn't a straight-forward way of getting the uncertainties on values output from many ML constructs.

Yes, the term "statistical learning" has been around since at least 2001. But it isn't widely known/talked about/understood, and most trendy ML "tutorials" gloss over it completely. Maybe this is unfair criticism. After all, most ML applications in software don't require that stricter treatment, and why should somebody playing around with ML be burdened with this rigorousness? At the same time, it's easy to come away from ML thinking "I don't understand this at all, it's a black box, it doesn't do what I need it to".

And we haven't even talked about what a pain reproducibility is in ML.

> instead keeps reinventing the wheel, over and over again.

If people keep reinventing it, maybe the problem isn't the people... yeah, physicists don't write great code (guilty), but ML tooling is full of hype and currently feels a bit Javascript-y.

Protein stimulates insulin, but fat does not ;-)

This is why modern low-carbs diets are "high fat, moderate protein".

Also, this is NOT a war against all carbohydrates, but against refined carbohydrates, like sugar (corn syrup) or white flour. These refined carbohydrates in our daily diet have raised the insulin resistance of the population to the point that we have a type 2 diabetes and obesity epidemic on our hands and the problem is worse year by year.

N.B. our bodies can recover from insulin resistance, there are numerous reports of people with type 2 diabetes getting rid of their disease after a low carb diet. However it can take years for your metabolism to go back to normal and in the meantime things like potatoes (which otherwise are healthy and satiating) are unfortunately bad for you. Of course, you can blame refined carbs for damaging your body, and NOT potatoes.

> But the typical high fat low carb keto diet has the highest mortality rate of any popular diet.

That's a myth. Show me the evidence.

On the other hand, this is my favorite study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28515068
Or maybe, dad already spent hours pushing stroller, with kid 1 then kid 2 and then kid 3 and he is pushing stroller again through the botanic garden. And the pokemon go is making it less repetitive and boring, but they are all tired today anyway so they don't enjoy that fully anyway.

The old friend is just rude, I agree.

But with families with strollers and multiple kids, walking through that garden is not something special, it is something you do every day and after years of doing that it becomes old. For involved fathers, they spend a lot of time with kids, so each moment is not special anymore and sometimes you are tired and in bad mood and tired of kids, but you still have to take them out.
No he really is a fraud. You should research him.
You can't cool from the inside of that cube without having some way of transporting the heat out of it.

All you'd end up doing is heating that inside up to the temperature of the dies and after that there would be no more cooling effect (and this would happen in a few seconds after starting the whole thing up). You could do an 'inverse' of this by cooling the dies from the outside and having the interconnects in the space in between. This would still require a lot of cooling and there would be an issue with connecting the resulting assembly to the underlying PCB.

Tesla has, in fact refuted it in a a statement that they had a net increase in orders of model 5s last week. The authors just refused to post it, which is a pretty common hi job recently.

Agreed. However, how do you make them tax themselves? The super-elite control politics and government, so why would they tax themselves more? How do you create the proper incentives for that to happen?

> All the vegetarians are now somewhat more likely to work there.

It's not debatable. What percentage of software engineers are vegetarians? 1-2%? And now they are somewhat more likely to work at WeWork. Great.

I as someone that enjoys eating meat, will never work at this company and if for some reason I had somehow ended up working there I would look for work elsewhere.
Money’s problem is its commodity nature. It obscures the supply chain and puts unjust gains on the same footing as useful work. A replacement would make supply chains transparent and make relationships and reputation primary.

I can't tell whether the ludicrous ratio of exclamation marks to sentences (11:4 or 11:5 depending on how strictly you define sentences) is sarcasm or enthusiasm.
Hola, thanks for constructively engaging me. For real.

Yeah I was told I name dropped “NYC”/ “the City” constantly after I moved to Texas. I was just trying to share my life experiences. And they happened to take place in a specific geographic location. But, funny enough, I then remembered when I first moved to NYC I gave my friends a hard time for calling it “the City” as if there were no other cities. Full circle.

I think the issue is, not engaging with the parent comment’s subject matter. Which was, small towns are finally getting a little love. To generalize, consider the Black Lives Matter movement. As a white person (which is a legitimate place from which to have life experiences, which you can legitimately share with friends and strangers), I really shouldn’t have gotten on the soap box during that time and place. During that time and place I should really let people in the BLM movement have the stage. So yeah, time and place. Not talking about your own perspective does not necessarily minimize your perspective, and sometimes by being perceived as fighting for soapbox time it can come across as minimizing other’s perspectives. Let’s all let the the small town have it moment, cause it kinda hasn’t been getting the love it might should be getting.
I'm fascinated this has worked so well in all operating systems I've used that I've never had reason to acquire this knowledge.

I'm simultaneously disappointed that this is not (as far as I can tell) widely known information. It sounds like the thing that may prevent you from going on goose chase if you ever need to debug it.
Not sure I buy the part about DRM and market suicide. Who uses optical discs any longer? I don’t know anyone, though several have old collections from a decade ago gathering dust.

Also first I’ve heard that a new blu ray even exists.
I expect they already do this, and also have a system for cutting off suspected fraudulent passengers. And it probably works pretty well (they have some smart statisticians there, and the right incentives), but it's statistically based and every so often they have a false positive and cut off an honest customer or an honest driver. It would be unacceptable for a government body, or a utility with a government-granted monopoly, to do this without an appeals process, but it doesn't sound so bad for a private company that has competition.
I know what PETA is, don't worry. Now that is a very different kind of crazy right there.

Luckily I never met one. Although I like a good argument battle.
Bio routing is a project to create a versatile, fast and reliable routing daemon
GM already sells an EV (Bolt), so there are less expensive options out their today. Nothing matches the Model 3's combination of performance, price, styling, and driving experience.
I agree. The super wealthy prefer seclusion but it is hard to hide a 10 bedroom mansion and a superyacht. It is better to provide a strong "foxnews education" so there is no need to hide.

Honestly, I wonder if a symbolic model would work better for our society. Ask the rich to set aside 20% of their wealth to provide low interest rate (~1% to 2%) loans to the poor to be used specifically on self-improvement (housing, infrastructure, education, policing, healthcare, childcare, etc). The loans start small and increase with good payment history.

This has a potential for starting a lifestyle inquisition.

The single worst thing one can do for the environment is to have a child. Does WeWork plan to fire you should you decide to reproduce?

The Existential Operator
Fraud? Come on. I see Tesla’s all over town, I see solar city vans, I hear about boring co digging tunnels, I see video of giant rockets mostly landing on barges in the ocean to be reused again and again.

Fraud?

I don’t know the man, or own any of his products, but he’s definitely not a fraud.
I've elicited some strong reactions here. The commenter I responded to said this:

> When I read the stories of big city lifestyles I'm amazed so many people opt-in to it. Traffic, noise, concrete everywhere. Yuck - but to each their own.

I was simply explaining some of _my_ reasons for opting in to it. It's a tangent from the original post, I realize. I could easily come up with reasons a person might enjoy a rural or small town lifestyle, but here I simply gave my reasons for enjoying the urban life I currently live, even though I too have the option of going the remote work route.

No offense intended.
"and completely pointless"

or one could also say pointfree
Or...people wanting to buy up their homes in "this little dead-end town" allow them the opportunity to fulfil their dreams of Big City Life.

Though I think that's mostly a cop-out, people always blame the newcomers for all the problems -- can't count how many times I heard "Californians are driving up housing prices" during the real estate boom in the aughts. Now it's "the Chinese are driving up housing prices" though I often hear it's still the Californians' fault.
Not sure what your point is.

Coding is significantly harder than writing or pressing two buttons on a video camera, which is also visible in salaries - basic journalist vs. basic camera operator vs. basic coder
I don't know, I wish I did. I think nobody who ran into it 20 years ago has looked at it since. It's really a damn shame.
> The problem is then Uber canceled her account. So they assumed she was the one being fraudulent.

Why would a customer want to continue using a service whose driver fraudulently accused them of damaging property?

> I guess she can try Lyft from now on, but then the same fraud could happen there and she'd be locked out of that app as well. Then back to taxis? Which may or may not be bad, as I noticed some taxi services started getting better after they were forced to compete with these ride sharing companies.

The uncontroversial answer to your question is yes. If you find that Uber, Lyft, Yellow Cab, and every reasonable form of available public transportation have drivers who are all uniformly running scams and refuse you service upon CC disputes, you've probably got much bigger problems to worry about in this country.

Waiting for someone to propose a blockchain to fix this
Having volunteered to teach kids coming from single-parent household with no computer at home, I've seen how the inability to type on a QWERTY keyboard with any modicum of speed (hunt-and-peck) actually limits them when we encourage them to 'iterate', 'try fast and fail', 'just code a line of something', or 'what will that do?'. If expressing your thoughts and intentions to the editor is painful and slow, it is a concrete barrier to learning how to fail faster.

I can give you an opposite anecdote from personal experience. I learned how to program at 12 not learning how to touch type correctly. Guess what? I’ve been programming for 30 years and still can’t “properly” touch type. I’ve typed with one hand all of my life (not by choice) and it hasnt slowed my career down. With modern IDE’s and autocompletion, my typing speed hasn’t been a hindrance.
This is by far my favorite feature of Coffeescript, and it makes me sad not to have it in other languages.

There's too many dependencies in your conjecture to make a strong argument for that being the proof that the numbers are correct.

The problem is that Uber doesn't care. I've had a driver say they picked me up, and I can see them driving away on the app while I'm standing on the sidewalk. I cancelled the trip and Uber still charged me for a partial trip even though my phone was reporting I wasn't in the car.
Thanks, so maybe I'll be very careful looking at a XPS when I'll have to replace my laptop (hopefully not anytime soon.)
With all the hype around the original preorder, I suspect a lot of people who preordered were not serious anyway, or fell victim to wishful thinking about their ability to afford the car.

So in any case, even without the production delays, a higher than normal rate of cancellations would not be surprising.
Egypt's new law requires licenses for new websites
This is terrible. Obviously, when people puke in cars, they should be charged accordingly, but these types of scams are awful.

The easiest solution seems to be that the driver should initiate the “charge” while the passenger is still in the car/on the ride. Then a notification can come up in the app and tell the passenger they are being charged for cleanliness/whatever.

That’s how regulars cabs work (at least in NYC). You puke in the cab, you get $75 added to your fair (been there, done that. Not proud.).

It’s possible some scammers might try to do that with people in the car, but at that point, the passenger can gather their own evidencs and contact the company immedietly.

We have to balance shipping new features https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/ceo/#how-do-we-keep-shippi... with performance tweaks and bugfixes.

If we would not have shipped new features and still did just just version control GitLab the company would not be viable. We're committed to shipping a single application for the whole DevOps lifecycle this year https://about.gitlab.com/2017/10/11/from-dev-to-devops/

But there are multiple performance tweaks en bugfixes going out every month, including this one.

The big performance tweak in this release is the merge request view refactor https://about.gitlab.com/2018/07/22/gitlab-11-1-released/#me... which makes loading merge requests much faster but there are 35 other performance improvements https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/merge_requests?scope=...

I'm sorry, but I'm crying out wolf ... the American Heart Association basically told people to replace saturated fat with sugar.

This is a fact. Even now the recommendation is for people to eat refined carbohydrates in their daily diet because they are "fortified" with things like B vitamins or other nutrients which previously came from fatty meat.

I mean, OK, in 1950-1960 the field was new, mistakes were made, but to keep this going in 2018 is criminal.

They are criminals because people die of type 2 diabetes or of cardiovascular diseases that, surprise, are also caused by hyperinsulinemia (the result of all these refined carbohydrates) and they are side stepping the issue, probably because a lot of big companies (like Coca Cola) would lose a lot of money otherwise.

The result is that our children are being fed a diet that is making them obese — even if you protect your children at home, you can't protect them at school. Our children are getting sick, refined sugar should be declared a harmful drug and just like tobacco or alcohol, children should not be allowed to consume it.
Never thought that I would love a car but .. Love story continues. The car is out of world.
It's also important to note that the value of solar/wind on a grid declines as they become a larger percentage of the power. These power sources are much less consistent and storage technology doesn't exist yet. And if it did, it would require big investments, which obviously dilutes any cost advantage.
It's actually more simple than that, the media likes to vilify successful and wealthy people because somehow in the last couple of years Marxism and anti-capitalism spread like a wildfire throughout media and academia.

DRM schemes are explicitly listed and talked about as one of the 3 applications of TrustZone in the official docs.
Not for every ride, but for spills/stains: require proof of these kinds of incidents to be recorded as a video (or series of pictures) within the app, including exterior & license plate of the registered car. Log timestamp and GPS data during recording. Could cut fraud substantially just like that.

Then again, these incidents are probably only occurring on something like 0.05% of rides, so this may not really be the top priority to fix.
I say increase the burden of proof to a video. All Uber drivers really should have a dashcam by now for many other reasons.

So the article is portraying 4k blu-ray as the raison d'être for Intel ME on consumer devices, but isn't for example Netflix HD which uses HDCP 2.2 somehow also tied to a trusted execution environment within Intel CPUs, or is this method of protection only via the display and the graphics chip (sometimes also by Intel; on the motherboard)?

With respect to walkability, that doesn't describe a really small town in North America, it describes almost every city and town in the US.

If you look at cities of 100k+, in the vast majority of them, only a tiny fraction of their residents can walk to a grocery store in 5 minutes. In fact, there are only a 3 very large cities (500k+) in the entire country where the majority of the population is a 5 minute walk from a grocery store.
