The financial industry collapses and needs to be rescued every ~10 years (S&L crisis in the 80s, Long Term Capital Management in the 90s, Great Recession in the 00's). Last time they crippled the world economy. Massive fraud is commonplace, based only on the fines they pay. I don't see them as a model of success!

In many western countries you're also not allowed to discriminate against pregnant women, or because of religion, both of which are under an individual's control (except if rape).
What updates were those? I'm still using a 2013 MBP too and no plans to upgrade. Given that 10.14 is still compatible with 2010 MBPs I think I have more than a few years left with it.
Let's be real here, there are big differences in what you're saying. The power company, or Apple for that matter can't know what you're using their products for. You could be smearing shit on twitter at work, or on the public wifi. There's no connection there. Whereas twitter, facebook, insta etc. the literal process is you send a message to the platform saying "Put X on you're website on my behalf".

A second big difference is facebook decides to de-platform groups on facebook for what they do on facebook, they aren't banning people on a shared bad people list. That would be a kind of cartel/collusion which breaches other restraints on a company's behaviour.
I'm thinking that your extraordinary rudeness to Carl Hewitt, one of our elders, on the Actor thread was not appreciated.

To be fair the V2 rockets never hit anything useful prinarily because the British had turned every german spy and were feeding them false information about the results of the attacks.

If you're a company that commonly outsources, you should have good freelancing game. By that I mean you build a network of freelancers you've worked with before or have heard good feedback from trusted sources.

My girlfriend is a manager at a writing company. She has a group of about 30 freelancers she keeps in touch with on top of the 10 people who work directly under her at her company. When too much work comes in she leans on the freelancer that best fits what she needs. These are people she has worked with before, has had success with, and most of all trusts. She, of course, has to try new freelancers occasionally. But the bad ones get spit back out.

It sounds like the company you were working for doesn't have very good freelancing game.
That's a 7 years old Thinkpad.

And by the way, if you need to build Android source code more often than once a month, you need AWS anyway.
Here in flyover country, Kansas City has 1600 public charging plugs. I reckon that is much more per capital than Silicon Valley.
Yes. The term that is popular in Europe is “Quangos” or “quasi-autonomous non-governmental organization”. Quangos doesn’t technically apply here, but I think it’s a good frame of mind / reference to use.

The fact that government power, has in the West, declined extensively since the 1970’s, means the power went elsewhere. The corporate / finance sector, with rock bottom interest rates provided from capital across the globe have received most of it.

Of course this did all provide some benefits via the many innovations we’ve seen. But there are also many, probably more, downsides that we are seeing now.
No, it wasn't about being seen "working" hard since they openly acknowledged they weren't working for most of the time they spent in the office.

It was just about being in the office "supporting" the people actually working. Presumably they were supposed to play LoL during that time, but I didn't care enough to ask.

Also...I work for another media company in the LA area now. I leave by 5 every day. The only people working past 5:30 are the designers, because they don't come in until after 11.
How is the concurrency story with Nim. I know that this is a repeating question, just wondering how well it works and how safe it is.

I am still eyeballing Pony-lang for it's design choices, but development seems to have slowed down there.
To be fair though, a lot of people on the right simply do not agree with the proposed solutions, specifically those found in the UN Paris Agreement.

The left seems to get confused by this, as illustrated by your comment, where criticism, disagreement, or political opposition towards a specific set of solutions that just happens to contain products of many philosophical biases and geopolitical agendas (wealth redistribution, supranational bureaucracy, non-Democratic decision making), is turned into "anti-environment beliefs" or other overly-simplistic derogatory characterizations.

Denying the sanctity of the Paris Agreement, much less its ideological foundations, isn't even getting into the science and yet it would be enough to paint someone as a "climate denier" and likely dis-invited to dinner parties.

>how effective the right has been at tying anti-environment beliefs to political identity

The right is not "anti-environment," nor do they think that scientific truth is a matter of consensus or faith. At the very least, that straw-man wouldn't be something the right would choose for itself... Observing that the Paris Agreement was really a UN-led wealth redistribution scheme deceptively using the noble cause of protecting the environment as a front and rejecting it is not "anti-environment." It is clearly political, but if you want to be honest about who is responsible for intentionally misrepresenting what is simply an opposing position to the neo-liberal global agenda, and making it a highly charged emotional issue with almost religiously devoted followers where opponents are basically treated like heretics, its not the right.

Germany considers to ban diesel cars from cities to meet polution requirenments of EU.

I consider to buy a new car at the moment. My favorites are electirc or petrol. I don't even consider hybrids. I see no benefits. They have no upsides of an electic car (quit, no exhaust, clean, simple). They are basically more expensive/complex petrols with a slightly lower consumption.

More off the shelf drones? Seriously.
No, but I wouldn't care if someone in HR or Finance or Legal didn't go to websites. I would be hiring them for their skill in HR/Finance/Legal/whatever.

If they happened to also visit websites, that would be a plus that could be the deciding factor against an otherwise equally matched candidate.
>Presumably they were supposed to play LoL during that time

I know some people at Riot and this is exactly it.
The last couple times I've been car shopping the 0% financing deals come with a jacked-up list price. You may get the loan at 0%, but the way that works is that they quote a higher price to begin with and then the 0% financing (assuming good credit) was their "concession" in the negotiation. We bought our cars for under dealer price, paying by cashier's check, so I assume that the actual dealer price was even lower (otherwise they wouldn't be willing to sell us the car), particularly since the lowest price they would go with financing was a couple thousand higher (credit scores in the 800s).
strange. I use ublock and it works fine for me.
Android developers get around 3-5 years before they stop rationalizing the potential and ditch that ecosystem.

Apple won this battle. The actual android users that "can't stand Apple and need control" have no clue what they are missing anymore. They haven't looked at Apple since 2013. Unlike Blackberry faithful, Android users really do have great more advanced technology on paper, but look, nobody cares.
You can even use the Android letter to determine how outdated your Eclipse installation is and vice versa.

This is sad, and I feel for you. Your experiences I think mirror in the macro what many of us have in the micro - a side project becomes a love affair becomes something that has to be left aside as the rest of life takes over.

I hope it is merely a hiatus - and I hope too find your next great passion. Keep writing about it - we will follow ...
Chevy Volts are not serial hybrids as you describe. They have a complex transmission that merges the gasoline engine and electric motor power in several modes for optimal efficiency. Nice car but not simple.

Perhaps you meant the Chevy Bolt which is fully electric with no transmission or gasoline engine?

I bought the new 2018 Dell XPS 15 the day they were released. I knew the Linux support wasn't perfect on day 1 but fully expect the rough edges (mostly around switching between integrated graphics and GPU, as you say) to be solved in a month or two.

I had the same experience with my 2015 Dell XPS 13... a few annoying quirks for the first month (mainly trackpad) which the combined efforts of Dell and the community quickly solved. Since then it has been rock solid. I used it for 3.5 years and only upgraded to the new XPS15 to get more RAM.

> So much depends on fiddling, experimenting, and reading.

How about not stressing about it now? My approach this time round is to not spend my own time fiddling with it. I'm going to wait patiently for others to figure it all out and get their fixes into upstream distribution. As my main problem is with GPU switching, I've got plenty of non-GPU projects to do in the meantime...

P.S. If you do want gpu switching on the XPS15, check out this repo:

I've read about places that don't actually do "net metering" and implement this with two separate meters, one for inflow and one for outflow.

Is that the case where you are? Are there any time-of-use options available that might sweeten the deal?

> So a real battery would be much preferable.

Assuming it were free (even to purchase, with only charge/inverter efficiency losses), of course it would. However, as much of the discussion in the thread points out, storage is very capital (if not maintenance) intensive, even at utility scale.

I know you’re being facetious, but it seems to me that the actual solution for these companies’ financial woes would be to simply charge more for energy from their traditional plants when there is demand for it, just as suppliers of any other commodity do. If there are regulations in individual jurisdictions preventing them from doing this, those regulations should be relaxed. The reality is that we are still dependent on traditional energy sources sometimes. Therefore, these plants and the companies that own them have to be able to charge enough stay in business until we don’t need them anymore.
This seems like a brilliant idea. Anyone know how it could be done?
Has that happened to you in the last couple of years? I've been using Arch for about that long on my desktop and the only issue I've ever had to resolve is outdated AUR packages with hard version deps.
So nobody is going to comment on why Status.im even exists? 100m dollars for an "open source mobile dApp browser" and messaging system, when dApp browsers are dime a dozen, open source, and pretty good!

Trust Wallet any one? Toshi?

Hopefully all those bucks can be used to propel development of other things, like with Nim and a real sharding ecosystem.
Or if all of the outlets are on the same circuit.
Most of these comments fail to appreciate the highly extreme nature of Alex Jones' rhetoric. Its obscene, flagrant garbage. There are dozens of lines he crossed thousands of times. He isn't banned from speech, but there isn't a place for that kind of conduct on platforms with any kind of standards.
"Hybrids" of all kinds are usually a dead-end transitional technology. See the fate of "touch-optimized" Symbian and Blackberry OSs.

The old timers dislike them for being "different" and the ones who want the new tech want 100% of it, not just 20% - they want the ideal solution in this new paradigm. As such, hybrid tech is doomed from the start.
There is a difference between something being subjective and the ability of people to understand it. Subjectivity has nothing to do with how well something is understood.
Is m3ql still being used? And if so any thoughts on how m3ql and promql will respectively be used over time?
You're engaging in intellectual dishonesty here.

"Nazi" is closely associated to the Holocaust, but you don't have to have killed someone to be a Nazi.

From Wikipedia:

Nazism is a form of fascism and showed that ideology's disdain for liberal democracy and the parliamentary system, but also incorporated fervent antisemitism, scientific racism, and eugenics into its creed.

From that definition, Daily Stormer certainly was home to Nazi's, perhaps more appropriately "Neo-Nazi"
My brother is a Marine and he states that some of the barracks they stay in are still abestos. He claims that the military knows and it would cost them more to address it versus fighting/paying for it later.

Yes. Freedom of speech and freedom of association exist.

That's a feature, not a bug.
I subscribe to two online news papers. One left-wing and one to the right.
I'll suspect that these people (and most people in fact) won't own their own cars. Those that do, in regional areas most likely, will have their own garaging and access to power.
I don't know if people are forgetting that.

My apartment complex with hundreds of units has a built in parking garage, and there is one (1) electric charging station. Two pools though.

Not all houses have connected garages either.
Concurrency is achieved via async await. For parallelism each thread has its own GC so that makes things a lot safer, but sadly less efficient if your algorithm wants to share data between threads a lot (you can copy data between threads). You can also allocate shared memory but that's considered unsafe, this will hopefully be improved in the future.

As for how well this all works, well, I recently implemented a high performance parallel HTTP server [1]. It's currently hosting the Nim Forum[2] and has been doing so for the past few months. Also it's proving very performant[3].

We need to improve the batteries/charging technology to make it possible to fully charge an EV in five minutes or less. That will make them more practical for long-distance travel and will also reduce the need for charging stations in parking areas and in homes. Instead they can supplement/replace fuel pumps at gas stations, and benefit from the existing built infrastructure, easing the transition and keeping refueling patterns the same.
> The TrackingPoint rifles actually did work, and there is one with an 1800 yard range.

TrackingPoint is attaching a very sophisticated electronics package to an otherwise standard rifle. The 1800yd range is based on a .338 Lapua round. That round requires a pretty hefty platform to remain stable.

> The controller on a Linux system is the thing which actually pulled the trigger, relying on the operator to hold the rifle in the correct orientation. When it calculated there would be a hit, the computer pulled the trigger.

There are two problems with this on a drone:

First, I don't see any information (understandably) about the allowable limits of muzzle motion for TrackingPoint. I suspect the system is tuned to correct the relatively small oscillations the muzzle goes through in the hands of a human shooter. I would love to see the drone platform that could hold a .338 rifle that steady half a mile in the air.

Second, the system calculates the solution at the point of the trigger pull. There is a brief period between trigger pull and the round exiting the barrel where barrel movement can throw the round off. This is fine if the movement is predictable (as it would be for a trained human). I suspect a drone is going to struggle mightily with a .338's recoil.
Voting presents uniquely difficult challenges, you need integrity, strong authentication, verifiability, and anonymization.

As others have stated, this particular scheme's weakness to tampering lies at the receiving end of the app's server.

There are other privacy problems with the "send a selfie" of the on-duty soldiers I won't get in to.

But ultimately, voting has unique constraints. The voter needs to be able to verify their vote was counted correctly, outside observers need to be able to verify totals, but not identify individual votes, and the whole system needs assurances only those who are supposed to vote, do so.
When content got posted by people on their own servers, and you just linked to other people's web pages instead of commenting on them, it was more of a public square. When it's a social media site, it's easier for everyone non-technical to use, but it's now run by a private company.
Cloudfare is very different from an ISP.
What exactly is the monolithic 3D integration process? In what way is this technology superior to the current state of the art?
Sample size 1 here. I used an iPhoneX for a few months this year. It was my first iPhone, and I loathed the browser lock-in and the lack of automatic contacts sync. The UX is far less consistent than modern Android apps (e.g. the back functionality out of an app). I missed my app drawer as well. The iPhone was free from work, yet I paid out of pocket for a Galaxy S9+ so I could go back to Android.
In this case "spreading" means "happening more often". And you could have a stable rational market where power prices go negative for an hour every day.
Do you think that will be a significant factor in this discussion and dissuade people from EV ownership?

> It would be more accurate to say 'the Russian government and affiliated parties' (or just 'Russian government', if you're into the whole brevity thing).

I was taking, based on what seemed to me to be exquisitely clear contextual clues, “the Russians” in the post I was responding to as “the Russians to whom blame has widely been attached”, who, yes, are the Russian government and certain regime-linked business figures.

“Stop blaming the Russians”, it seems to me, makes clear that the focus is those Russians who are currently being blamed, which is not the Russian population in general.
So, I am picturing the whiplash when a large part of the American left, that has been in favor of some kind of governmental control on companies like Facebook and Google, actually faces the possibility of the current administration being in charge of that regulation.
If you are on Windows on ARM then there is no option other than UWP apps. Why would anyone buy an ARM laptop if they have to rely on emulation for everything anyway. It's not like the ARM laptops are any cheaper than the intel ones. (they actually have worse specs and cost more)

Pessimism? I think you mean a dose of reality. We aren't even close. That's reality no matter what Musk and others like him say. If anything, it's extreme, unwarranted, delusional optimism that sees us colonizing the planets. And that's just our solar system. We can't even get to Mars and probably couldn't even get to the moon at this point. I don't see why we would assume that other intelligent species would be able to escape, except briefly, their planets. There is nothing at all that warrants that assumption now or when Fermi was alive. Why would anyone assume this even for the future? Progress is not guaranteed and as we have seen throughout history, periods of progress are often followed by periods of decline.
What makes you say that? I've seen plenty of conversion kits that are adaptable to most cars. I've priced it out to build a fun project car and the only reason not to do it is the currently high price of batteries. So I expect volume to solve that and make electric conversions just easy. "Electric classics" are already a thing and look fun:

The company actually had, that's why things worked out and I returned to more projects afterwards, but it was stressful and not a job they would have given someone else, because of the lack of trust inherent in any new freelancer.

If you want freelancing to stay mostly something for people great at selling themselves, managing customer relations etc. that model works well, but that's IMO not optimal for the company nor the majority of people who would enjoy being freelancers.
If you have data to suggest that their risk adjusted returns are abysmal then that would be very interesting. I don't see the point of picking 3 investments from a fund worth hundreds of billions and presenting it as data that they are underperforming.
Except doesn't happen after a reset. Doesn't happen when in airplane mode. Happens only after I restore apps. Something is busy doing something when there's network access, and I suspect the 15% to 40% drains are when wifi goes down for whatever reason and I'm left with a really crummy weak mobile signal, which I know drains phone batteries fast just by the nature of having to compensate for weak signal.
