>It's quieter than the train.

Huh? What kind of trains have you been riding? Buses are noisy and have herky-jerky motion because they drive in traffic and have noisy diesel engines and are constantly accelerating and braking and turning. Trains ride on metal rails with no traffic in their way.

Of course, the shitty subways in America's east coast cities somehow manage to be extremely noisy and bumpy; I'm not sure how they manage that. Subways in better places don't have this problem in my experience.

> I like to be able to check my answers when teaching myself things.

I agree, although looking at the exercises in this book, they seem to be of the form where the only way to give you the answer is you give you the full solution, and they appear to be phrased in a way that makes it easy enough to verify the answer yourself once you’ve figured out the problem. I always feel like the ideal (for me at least) are problems with numerical answers listed in the back of the book – then I can check my answer with the book’s answer; if I got 42 but they got 5, I know I made a mistake somewhere but it’s still up to me to go back through and figure out where the mistake was. It seems like most of these problems don’t lend themselves to short numerical answers like that.
First, however you want to slice it Nuclear is a low percentage of China’s production. Even nuclear + wind + solar is not that huge, still the trends are very promising.

But, I want to say that growth figure is misleading as it’s comparing as specific year when a power plant came online. In terms of total TWh and rate of increase wind beats nuclear. In terms of relative percentage increase Solar is insane.

Solar 2013 9 TWh
Solar 2017 118.2 TWh

Nuclear 2013 124 TWh
Nuclear 2017 246 TWh

Wind 2013 134.9 TWh
Wind 2017 305.7 TWh

Looking at 2018 Solar’s insane year over year growth is starting to have a huge impact and does not seem to be slowing down. In some ways even 2017 numbers are misleading.

To be fair, while that's an accurate representation of the distances, it's not accurate of the difficulty. They don't have to deal with unpredictable atmosphere. There's reasons laser-guided missiles are about 1-2 meters-ish of accuracy with constant guidance, while we can basically fire-and-forget spacecraft to 4 billion miles away.
Mere line count does not tell a truth, simply because you can do more thing with a SLoC in a language than another, also sometime to be on certain platform you need an enormous amount of code only for them that's have no other purpose that boilerplate for a platform.

Too simplistic :-)

You mean like DLL hell, and the Linux distro fragmentation mess? History has shown that the trade-offs of dynamic linking are often worse. Case in point: the reason containers are so popular in the first place.
I'm not expressing a preference, just pointing out what people do. You'd better like the features email has because it has a hell of a lot of inertia at this point. That said, it does have the killer feature of genuine interoperability, which virtually none of the new contenders even try for.
It is over the life of shingles plus energy. That won't be true of the first few years of sales.

As an upside, I think the comparison is with one roof replacement, which is supposed to be done every 8-20 years. Tesla tiles should last 100 years.

On HN, one is not supposed to comment on being downvoted:
"Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading."

Past attempts to exclude political discussion from HN reflect a belief that, somehow, what Silicon Valley does can be fully understood without recourse to political thought.

The reality is that the HN community harbours readers with a wide range of political views, and those readers can downvote people with whom they disagree with total impunity. It's not good for the quality of debate, to say the least.
Detective story: The path to pinpointing the romaine E. coli outbreak
Don't we have technologies for that like fuses?

In particular, people seem to use untrusted AC power outlets all the time without their devices being fried. The motivations of an attacker who wants to fry devices (mere lulz) and the motivation of an attacker who wants to break into working devices silently are very different; it makes sense to expect more of the latter, and to define the latter and not the former as within your threat model.

The article linked (you did actually open that before replying to me, right?) extensively talks about race, and affirmative action is intrinsically linked to it.

Also, I don't know if you're ignorant as to what a dog whistle is, or you're being purposefully obtuse, but "affirmative action" is extremely common talking point among actual racists, because it's a politically acceptable way to disparage racial minorities without directly using the word race; a dog whistle is a term that racists use to make racist commentary that's intended to make it clear to other racists that they're talking about race while still providing plausible deniability (i.e. accusing the other person of being the one to bring up race, when that was the topic from the beginning). "Affirmative action" is an extremely common dog whistle.

So, are you unaware of what a dog whistle is, or are you blowing the whistle?
Here's two ways to get rich (and I'm not even charging anything):

1. Solve a problem, which creates value, which is something people will pay you for.

2. Have a shtick and find a way to monetize it. i.e. be the "Let's get ready to RUMBLE!!!!" dude.

I had heard the same thing, but the article linked here seems to indicate a very healthy attitude towards cooperation. I wonder how much of our impression is appropriate at this point. Possibly the project is suffering from bad press than no longer applies? Here's to hoping, anyway!
Yes! I was a bit disappointed when he explained it was just portals and a clever rendering hack rather than actually modeling non-Euclidean space natively, then I was delighted when he showed the room-scale VR example.

I'm currently using Joplin (https://joplin.cozic.net/) for note-taking. It has similar popularity on Github as Notable, and developer has a patreon account for ~$130/month.

While that's not full-time, it's a start of a paying community, which is very valuable in itself.

Once a community like that is established, you can implement other suggestions like selling packages, hosted versions etc. with discounts for your patrons etc. Many ways to go about adding value (and getting paid for it), once people trust you with their money.
Most of the people I love and care about, as well as most of the people who hold my personal data in trust, are not using "real" operating systems in your definition.

> This object(s) seem statistically unlikely to me.

At this mass these bodies are at, they aren't going to crush together from gravity to form a single round body.

However, if you've got two bodies in very similar orbits around the Sun, in close proximity, it doesn't seem incredible to me that they might eventually collide and stick.
15 bits per hour means that in 136 hours you potentially exfiltrate a 2048 private key. Actually make it 120 hours since the rest at that point is bruteforceable.

I imagine Gmail's HTTPS certificate, or a Microsoft code signing key, or Linus' GPG key, or being able to impersonate some government agency or messaging server, are well worth 5 days of this.
Re 1), yes, it is the point, but it's not necessarily clear to everyone who looks at JWT as a solution to whatever problem they have. At a glance, a JWT looks like a binary blob. And there are cryptographic algorithms involved. So it's not a surprising leap for a newbie to assume JWTs are encrypted blobs. Introductory JWT texts rarely make this clear.

Re 2), JWT libraries often make it easy to ask "is this token valid?" And I don't think it's unreasonable to think that "validity" means "signed by the shared secret I set in this library's configuration". But it usually doesn't. It usually means "this token is internally consistent". And since alg=None is a an option most people would probably assume would not exist, much less be counted as "valid", then it's not surprising that this happens.

Basically, JWT's rendered format ensures it will be misunderstood and misused, so long as the available libraries don't enforce reasonable expectations. And from what I've seen, the library situation for JWT is pretty ugly, making a confusing standard even more confusing, instead of less so.
Proda | Senior Full stack engineers | London | Full-time | ONSITE | 50-85k + equity doe.

Proda is an investor-backed, data-mining startup for the commercial real estate industry; we're making data entry jobs less painful. Our clients have been beta testing our application and the feedback's been incredible: https://bdaily.co.uk/articles/2018/11/01/proptech-startup-pa....

What about the team? We have a high emphasis on continual learning. If you're not learning something new on the job its time for a new one. Our tech stack reflects this; Haskell and Elm are the main languages. We don't mind if its your first exposure to either. We're not afraid of experimenting or making mistakes. The most important quality of anyone on our team is their ability to learn and teach. Our sales pipeline is miles ahead of our development and we're looking to grow the team to deliver more feature our customers. Since we're still young, working with us means you have a lot of influence in shaping the culture and direction of the company. You'll also a chance to grow your skill set faster than somewhere else.

What about The product? We're building a data mining tool that can explicitly learn a relational data model based on sample inputs. It radically improves data entry and data cleaning for financial analysts. Customers have loved our demos and we're understandably coy in our public descriptions.

This is for someone who:

* is comfortable in functional programming, especially Haskell & Elm; and * is experienced shipping complex web software to production; and * has an eagerness to learn and willingness to share knowledge.

A Typical Day looks like:

* Start off writing a feature that requires elm-ports. These can be tricky, so you pair with another developer who has shipped such code before.

* After lunch you're requested to review a Pull Request that fixes a bug you accidentally introduced a couple weeks back. There's no blame, instead some discussion about how our tests and review process could have caught this earlier.

* The afternoon is spent with the Product guys around a whiteboard. You're helping them sketch out architecture for a complex new data-auditing feature that we'll need to deliver a couple of sprints down the line.

We're far more interested in your capacity to learn then the arcana of specific tech tools, but our platform is largely composed of:

- Haskell
- Elm
- PostgreSQL
- Python / scikit-learn
- AWS
- Automated Testing and CI/CD.

Evidence? Most Model S and 3 owners I've heard prefer the ride of the 3.
The wet version of the Roomba is the Scooba. The Roomba is a broom (anagram), and the Scooba is the mop.

We have received both as gifts, and while they are slower and less powerful than the manual tools and electric vacuum cleaners, they can be tasked to clean the same area for much longer than my attention span for cleaning. It is also true that it is much easier to clean a mostly-clean floor than a more-filthy one. If you let the mop robot clean up for two hours, you can service the robot and then manually mop up the parts of the floor it couldn't do properly, in less time than manual mopping alone. With the sweeper, you never have to repeatedly vacuum over the same bit of popcorn, trying in vain to get the cleaner to pick it up, because all the larger floor debris are already in the robot's tray. And you don't need to worry about coins or Lego blocks in the vacuum bag.

But yes, cords are the Roomba's kryptonite. At best, it temporarily halts the cleaning process. At worst, it destroys your cords and also renders the floor sweeper inoperable. This alone destroys most of the utility. The sweeper cannot be left to operate unattended, because given enough time, it will always find a cord and try to commit suicide with it.
The 4.7 trillion dollars is in reference to "quantitive easing" (which is a euphemism for print money and give it to banks).

The problem was 100% bad debts. It is absolutely false to suggest that it wasn't. Banks were practicing predatory lending on the poor/working class, burdening them with debts that had 3 year low interest rates that would spike after the third year. This is a strategy admitted to by Greenspan.

We absolutely do know that debt forgiveness works, and that it was absolutely NOT the right decision to give the money to the bankers. The German Miracle being the prime 20th century example. But you can also look at the Jubilee year and debt forgiveness between monarchy changes through antiquity.

You are making the mistake of taking the propaganda sold to you by corporate news media as fact, when it is in fact a constructed reality by the banks and their political puppets.
