No comment on the other points but the reactors in the new Ford-class carriers generate electricity, not steam, which is part of the reason those carriers use electric catapult.
Because it's fun, and it's a good way to lighten the mood.
> That's going to change; the biggest amounts of home load will be heating/cooling of air for the home and water heating. Both of these will be demand responsive.

You can use time of day pricing to get people to do their laundry at a better time. You can't use it to get people to heat their homes during the day instead of at night. Once people are no longer burning oil for heat, there is going to be a winter month where the average nighttime temperature in the northern half of the country is -4 degrees and that is going to drive high non-responsive demand for electricity at night.

In theory you can install enough batteries for this and charge them with solar during the day, but what happens when it's cloudy during the day and cold at night for a straight month?
Great selection! I didn’t see https://www.surveyking.com there. Pretty good up and coming site with a ton of nice data analytics features.
Whatever you think about him is really not relevant to the press secretary’s complete mischaracterization. She said that he “put his hands on her”, and we all know what that is implied to mean. They could’ve just said that he lacked proper decorum or something, but instead they did this.
Fundamentals of Database Systems by Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe [1] is what I used in my undergraduate course in computer science. I would take a look at the table of contents to see if it has most of what you want. I know it at least has relational algebra and indexing data structures and algorithms.

I think it's because C# and (most of) its ecosystem is a joy to use compared to many languages that are popular with large corporations. Having that ecosystem and that particularly delightful language become cross platform is a welcome change, and also a welcome sign that Microsoft is willing to open up a bit more than many of us were expecting.
Actually raft is just a simplified version of multi-paxos that minimize state space needed.
I sometimes wonder about the validity of comparison with the placebo. What if the drug being studied makes the patients feel something, but doesn’t directly help the condition being studied. But that something feeling alerts the patients that they’re getting the real drug and not the placebo, and that awareness causes all the psychological biase we’re worried about?
I've noticed they don't seem to interconnect very effectively at the Seattle exchange at least for IPv4, I'll have to try v6 as well; thanks for the tip. in v4, I see a lot of things like go through Seattle to San Jose or Chicago and then back to Seattle. :(
The US invests a lot of money into researching advanced reactors only so the money can be sprinkled around to different labs, companies, and universities to keep our knowledge/workforce updated until they shift focus every couple years to a new 'important' reactor concept. With all that money and time we could have prototyped advanced plants and gone through licensing so we'd be building them today. Unfortunately I don't think that's a priority.
No, it would not render the current generation obsolete. Not only that, but they are years away from having a fleet up there, and a decade from having the full fleet. Satellite technology progresses a lot in a decade, so you're doing the equivalent of comparing the iPhone 12 to the Galaxy s2.
Oh, the dependency injection definitely works independently of ASP.NET Core - it's just something frequently talked about in tandem with it. Just wrote a console app that used it a couple of days ago.

I don't know about the current status of the GUI layer, other than that I've heard plans for WPF to be ported over to .NET Core. I don't know if or when that will actually happen.

Amazon has some of the poorest content out there at the moment and quite a good distribution system. There's only a handful of great shows they make, at least so far.

Contrast that to Disney which is aces on content, and a wildcard on distribution. It's more likely than not to be a bigger competitor than Prime.

I don't see that chart supporting a sudden change. The time point could be moved quite a bit and tell the same story.

Also I had not heard of Kevin Drum before this, and had a positive view of Mother Jones. I'm left with a poor impression of Kevin Drum and a hit to Mother Jones' reputation after reading this.
I like the spirit of this, but the problem is that it only works if everyone operates at least somewhat in line with it. If you're liberal in what you accept, then people are going to start being liberal in what they send, and soon we'll have a proper mess on our hands.

And there's no takebacks -- once you start permitting something, you can't take it away later, or you'll break things. You're creating more legacy requirements that may cause you problems when you try to evolve in the future.

As a web developer, I can only dream of how clean web standards might be today if the browsers of yore were a bit more conservative.
They say that most accidents are a sequence of several failures, but from what's in this article it sure seems
to me like 100% Boeing's fault.

If the only maintainence problem with this aircraft was a broken sensor, then that is almost irrelevant because sensors can break during flight too.

If it's really true that a mere broken sensor can cause the computer to ram the aircraft into the sea, then someone at Boeing really fucked up. Where are the redundancies and sanity checks?
Right. Find someone willing to give you the $1-4 billion dollars to do it (per generation facility). No one will because you can't prove it'll be financially viable for the next 20-50 years.

Duke Energy collected almost $368 million from ratepayers in South Carolina [1] to pay for a nuclear power plant, and then gave up on it, with no recourse for ratepayers. It spent another $1 billion on the failed construction of a nuclear plant in Florida (north of Tampa). If I'm a ratepayer, I'm going to burn you at the stake (metaphorically) if you try to force me to pay for another boondoggle.

If you want to save the planet, buy every solar panel you can get your hands on and install it as soon as you can, especially if you live near a coal plant; it'll drive the plant into insolvency, no nuclear power required.

Almost all undersea cables are owned by consortiums that are responsible for installation and ongoing maintenance. Telecoms like Sprint or Level 3 buy fiber pairs and run the gear on each end.
I would love to see an example of someone actually knowledgeable about databases who has a different definition for transaction.
This should probably tell you something about spacex's claims as well. The actual latency is never just the slant range. There's a ton of processing and network switching too.
> By default Intel CPUs will not allow their rolling average power consumption over a period of ~1 minute to exceed the specified TDP (95 W in this case).

From the page in question: "In this case, for the new 9th Generation Core processors, Intel has set the PL2 value to 210W. This is essentially the power required to hit the peak turbo on all cores, such as 4.7 GHz on the eight-core Core i9-9900K. So users can completely forget the 95W TDP when it comes to cooling. If a user wants those peak frequencies, it’s time to invest in something capable and serious."

95W is the required power to sustain the base clocks.

Also, calling AnandTech clueless... Are there any better hardware review sites? I would consider them a tier 1 site, with HardOCP and not a whole lot else...

On the contrary, net neutrality being a niche issue might make it more likely for politicians to agree on action. NN is a vague, new enough issue that it can be spun to the public in appealing ways. And the battle lines on which legislators are willing to die on haven’t yet been drawn. Think back to the SOPA bill back in 2013. It had massive bipartisan support, and a huge number of listed cosponsors [0], yet Congress folded like a chair on the day of the blackout protest. Not just because the protest was large, but because they had little to gain by sticking to their positions. Compare this to how Congress members change in no significant way from their campaign promises on gun and abortion issues.

edit: fixed typo/grammar
FYI v1 of NN excluded cellular. Verizon et al sued and the appeals court ruled in their favor. v2 NN was based on a more solid legal foundation of common carrier classification and did not exclude cellular. Thus VZ got tougher rules for their trouble. Until of course Trump won and the FCC reversed itself. NN was a FCC rule, not legislation.
Seems like being raised in, and rejecting, a pietist environment can result in some fantastic literature and philosophy. Hesse was raised in a pietist household and smoked cigarettes to protest. Kant was brought up the same and wrote "Critique of Pure Reason".

I don't necessarily regard Hesse's work as necessarily being directed towards a 'coming of age' readership; but, I discovered him at a time when I was struggling with my own "private battles of adolescence" and am grateful in finding his work.
People have been under-predicting what solar and batteries can do for decades... just look at the actual cost and production curves vs predictions. Also, don't forget wind and other storage.
This is a shameless money grab at the expense of unwitting consumers. Charging $50 for something that can be done for free. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Sorry, but more of what precisely?

Not all kinds of energy, surely?
Eh, they're extracting more than a story from you. In the spirit of this post overall, the question is a great informal trigger for Imposter Syndrome: what you describe, and how you describe it.
Tmobile made this clear to me too when I complained about their older zero-rating policy at the time. It was highly unfair to smaller companies without the means to implement their standards for video.

Use it as reactor fuel. The "waste" which is radioactive for thousands of years is fissile and the fission byproducts are not radioactive for that long.
Yes, I was loose in my use of the term "runtime" and sacrificing correctness. Writing "runtime component" rather than "runtime" makes it more misleading. I probably should've worded my original comment more wisely.
In 10 years, no one will remember VS Code. There will still be people using Emacs though.
While this is cool and surely an improvement technically, it makes it clear that I will have to move off of Now. That makes me sad as I immediately became a paying customer and have loved the product more and more each day.

It’s not that I couldn’t upgrade, surely I could. It’s inconvenient but not impossible. The problem is that I need my hosting to be as reliable and invisible as possible. Being informed that I need to change my infrastructure out of the blue is unacceptable unless it’s because there is a security reason or perhaps because I am using severely outdated technology. I will now have to spend precious development time figuring out which alternative will match my build process etc.
I feel like pretty much all websites and landingpages are the same - a single page, broken into sections, plenty of space, some happy people, some key points, a pricing table, maybe a section that scrolls in parallax. In fact this is such a pattern that pretty much all website builders put together this formula of site.

Indeed I noticed this pattern in 2014 and suggested the idea to a colleague who then built the first website builder around this pattern: https://www.redferret.net/?p=45278

These days, a site has to completely break this pattern to be innovative.
This makes a lot more sense for me. Next step for total serverless domination is solving the database.

Congrats!
> They dont, most of them, generate electricity.

wat? They most assuredly generate electric power. It's just that the bleed steam the sub needs for electric power is trivial compared to the motive power sent to the main reduction gear. They carry diesel generators for emergency use only.
Wow, those are quite fascinating use cases I hadn't considered. I'm actually curious about things like ansible; what exactly does it do that you couldn't just do with a bunch of redo scripts? Or alternatively, what if you ignored ansible's parallelism and just ran ansible once per host, from redo?
Just generally don't talk behind the back of and about people you don't know the first thing about.

Add wind, wave and hydro to the mix, including pumped hydro for storage and demand response. Start installing ground and water source heat pump community heating that's powered from wind and solar during times of excess. Combined with adequate insulation it becomes remarkably easy to heat and power even in northern climes almost for free. Allow the local electric co to smart-manage the home and EV batteries as part of the grid, subject to personal constraints of when you need 100% EV battery etc.

Some places are already there with excess power from renewables every year. We just need the will to scale up.
VergeSense (Vision Sensor Platform: S17) Is Hiring Engineers (Remote and SF)
VergeSense (YC S17) is building AI-powered IoT sensors to power the future of commercial & corporate real estate (one of the largest asset classes in the world). We've started to ship our product in volume (thousands of units deployed, 1M+ sqft of space under coverage) and we're hiring for multiple engineering & product roles including embedded systems / hardware ENG, full-stack SWE, computer-vision / ML, and IoT product management.

We're on track to grow 10-20x next year, so this is the ideal role for someone who wants to hop in at an early stage to help grow through the inflection point of company from product / market fit to scale.

We've got a variety of fun & challenging technical problems to solve - including low-power / wireless system design, embedded machine-learning, IoT device management at scale, computer-vision on low-power ICs, automation of machine learning training / model development / deployment, and imaging / optical system design.

Experience / background in camera / computer vision systems, autonomous driving, UAV, robotics, IoT / sensor networks are a huge plus.

If you're interested, please send a note to jobs@vergesense.com. We'd love to hear about a product you've shipped or a cool project you've worked on recently.
Well, it's not much different than cars then where people drive foolishly all the time and there aren't enough cops to catch them all.

For example, I almost never see people reserve the passing lane for going fast or passing which is dangerous. People almost never use blinkers. Except, unlike scooters, they are driving vehicles that weigh two tons and are going 65+ mph. And they even require licenses.

So that's a pretty low bar, and not very damning if scooters have some etiquette issues.
Why World War I is Germany's forgotten conflict
>Well, there was that whole dotcom boom and a lot of things changed for computers & the internet which led to researchers being able to share more information, use more powerful computer techniques, etc.

In my experience working with/contracting for neuro labs, a lot of researchers don't really know how to fully leverage the technology that's available, and often rely upon proprietary tools they have limited knowledge of, which doesn't bode well for being able explore for themselves.

The few that I have met that can push the limits of current technology are working in labs ran by the above…

I'm not sure how it is in other fields, but in convos from some other commentators on HN over the past years, makes me think this is not just in neuroscience.

Maybe the problem is that the skills needed to explore the solution space and communicate it effectively have gone up because the complexity it has added to the process without research labs/academia addressing the gap sufficiently? I don't think this is a problem with just labs or academia though, not many people in general have the skills to be able to leverage technology to it's fullest for even the most banal tasks.
Ford’s propulsion is still steam but it generates a tremendous amount of electrical power for its other systems

I believe France’s boomers and the next gen SSBN the US is designing both have electric drive.

Isn’t this a bit of a “if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball” question though? Electricity generation and direct steam propulsion both drive turbines, the principal of shipboard operation is well proven.

The bigger issue in my mind is that the nuclear powered ships spend a tremendous amount of time in port ( at least compared to the downtime of a land based power station) and then often just sail around bad weather rather than get hammered by it.
“Something to do with adjoints” is hopelessly vague, and what do you mean by transitive?

In regular mathematics there can be nonzero numbers whose square is zero (for example, the “dual numbers”). But I don’t see how this has anything to do with constructive vs nonconstructive mathematics.
This seems good. I once saw a very cringey question asked on a transgender developer’s Ask me Anything (AMA) repo that was totally inappropriate harassment. It made me feel bad that they couldn’t delete the issue.
I'm an EE but had a few close friends who completed the program. Girlfriend at the time was dissuaded towards chemical engineering...ended up doing NMR spectroscopy research as an undergrad before moving to USC for PhD. Another close friend who interned every summer at a nuclear plant in Crystal River, FL suspected the status quo was upheld to ensure graduating engineers would continue to command relatively high salaries in industy. He also mentioned how industry would swoop in on Navy submarine vets that came out of Kings Bay, but I'm not certain those guys competed for the same plant positions that professional engineers did.
Perhaps you're not in California, but, in California, I can definitely find more rooftop area for solar than I need. Like, a lot more.
This exactly. Often times "intervention" means some heavy life debilitating medication. Sure it may stop the psychosis, but at a heavy and possibly life long price. There is no accountability for health care in this country, only "disaster prevention" taken at all cost to the mad patient.

I believe that with increased data collection and the push for ML systems, we will see that the emperor truly has no clothes. Lots of intervention methods have no positive outcome on long term recovery, but there is no transparency about outcomes, costs, decisions, medications, etc.
I moved all my indie projects from .net to .net core, so i get the same development model i know and love, but can host on linux.

What a smart comment!
Basically, yes. Recall that in California the cheapest production is actually mid-day now, since that's when solar produces most strongly.

There's a chart here that shows renewable production over the course of the day and includes battery charging/discharging in another chart at the bottom:

http://www.caiso.com/TodaysOutlook/Pages/supply.aspx

Looking at November 8, 2018 you can see that batteries began charging around 7:30 AM as solar power started ramping up for the day, and switched over to discharging around 4:00 PM. There were also brief excursions to discharging from charging in between to deal with smaller fluctuations.

If you compare that supply chart to the net demand chart for the same time, you can see why the batteries are mostly charging in that time period:

http://www.caiso.com/TodaysOutlook/Pages/default.aspx

There's a big "scoop" taken out of net demand by solar in the middle of the day. After the early-evening demand peak there's often a smaller "scoop" taken out by late night wind power. In states with better wind resources, like Texas, the net demand reduction is usually in the middle of the night instead of the middle of the day.

http://www.ercot.com/content/cdr/html/CURRENT_DAYCOP_HSL.htm...

Today's wind generation in Texas is up past 12,000 MW as of 11:00 PM but dropped as low as 2,000 MW at noon.
> Sprint is legit garbage, but it is worth noting that even under Wheeler, Net Neutrality rules have never applied to mobile networks

This is simply false.

In the 2010 Title I regs, much lighter net neutrality rules were applied to mobile broadband than were applied to fixed broadband; in the 2015 Title II regs essentially the same rules applied to fixed broadband were applied to mobile.
How to Hide Security Cameras Effectively
Thanks albedoa for always being there to point out how others misinterpret what different people are really saying.
I don't understand why we are still obsessed with Nuclear. Nuclear produces toxic waste, plants are costly and take years to start functioning.

Compare that with what Tesla Energy did with the electric stabilising grid in Australia, within 100 days!

For a solar plant all you need to do is deploy panels and battery. Nothing else. And yet lobbyists, I presume, will advocate clean coal, clean petrol and whatever clean thing they are probably paid to market.

There is another comment here that said Amazon paid ~18/IP. They won't pay this next year.
Nuclear + wind, solar and hydro has now achieved parity (and just surpassed) coal, oil and gas for electricity generation. Both in capacity and actual generation achieved. We have a way to go to match Orkney, but electric is progressing nicely down the route to fully renewable, even with the Tory changes of subsidies.
