There is a fix for slow charging that is literally as fast as filling a tank but nobody wants to use it. (I assume it is the same reason that there are pages and pages of battery improvements that never make it to market.)

The DCF is an alluring but dangerous way to value a company. It is alluring because it seems like a much more logical, first-principles way of valuing a company compared to slapping a market-based revenue multiple on a company's projected sales. It is alluring because it is precise.

It is dangerous because it is not accurate. DCFs are very sensitive to assumptions, and confidence intervals for most assumptions are very wide. Two DCF models with credible, but different assumptions can yield hugely different valuations.

DCFs are also dangerous because stocks are not valued solely based on fundamental cash flows. In startups especially, if you do a typical DCF with conservative assumptions, you will miss outlier returns when an acquirer's thesis hinges upon very aggressive assumptions or synergies that a DCF wouldn't capture. This happens all the time in biotech.

It is not true that DCFs are independent of how the market values things. Many key inputs into the DCF, especially the discount rate and terminal value, are calculated in part based on how the market values things.

In practice, investment bankers and investors use several different methodologies, all somewhat flawed, to triangulate around a valuation. Often the DCF yields the highest valuation of these methodologies.

I've had the same issue with locations on google maps a few times and iirc it's taken a bit longer than that.

What I really hate are mall locations. I wish pin markers put the actual stores in the right portion of the building(s) themselves... hate parking on the wrong side of the complex to find out that I parked on the wrong side. Increase that to when the temperatures are more extreme (under 40F in the north or over 100F in the southwest).

Of course the habits we form now -- reaching for our phones, bringing up Google or Uber -- will persist into our old age. But chances are that by then there will be no Google, no Uber, and nothing recognizable as a phone. Imagine an old man repeating "OK Google" into his empty palm. That's our future.

This idea has since been applied to several other domains. Last year we had a look at all archived RSA keys of Tor relays: https://nymity.ch/anomalous-tor-keys/

We found that several thousand relays that shared prime factors (most part of a research project), ten relays shared moduli, and 122 relays used a non-standard RSA exponent, presumably in an attempt to manipulate the Tor network's distributed hash table, which powers onion services.

>Our results indicate that regular consumption of a dark roast coffee blend has a beneficial protective effect on human DNA integrity in both, men and women.

What they established was that drinking water damages DNA. When they drank coffee there wasn't as much damage. It's a stretch to say that coffee is providing a protective effect though.

Without denigrating anyone, it's a bad study.

What was the chemical breakdown of the water? Was it tap water? Distilled? Bottled? Spring? etc.

A better designed study would have groups drinking different kinds of water. Was the fact that the water was boiled (in the coffee) providing the protective effect? i.e removing toxins etc, did the kettle they use have a filter that processed the water, whereas the water was drunk straight from a tap etc.

Coffee is great though!
They will make concessions. I'll put money on it.

The UK leaving with no deal would be the beginning of the end of the EU. There is already growing anti-EU sentiment in Italy (4th largest economy in the block), Hungary, Austria, Poland. The UK leaving could set off a chain reaction which would either end the EU project or drastically reduce its size.

The EU simply can't afford to have the UK leave completely, because any measure of success it might have as an independent nation will compel other members to take the idea seriously too.

I'm not sure what they want to count. It definitely isn't users, as they ignore multiple users per system. It seems to be something like "currently active and online machines". But then you should not ignore machines that will not be updated. Maybe they mean "machines that follow the weekly update schedule this week"?

That seems to be what Poeterring's approach counts.

Somewhat off-topic: If Netflix continues to resurrect and pick up shows from other providers that I like, then I don't mind paying an extra couple bucks per month.

Recently they picked up Lucifer [1] after Fox canceled it and millions of fans lit up twitter. I am looking forward to this, as Netflix typically allows darker and more adult friendly versions of a show.

476mi/h of charging isn’t gorundbreaking. Aston Martin, Tesla and Porsche already charge at those speeds or faster.

https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1118575_gm-working-on-u...

I believe their “secret sauce” is allowing existing packs which charge slower to get “up to speed”. If so, that’s a pretty limited market as it’s likely that within a few years, all EVs sold will charge faster than the listed speeds. They’ll likely have a maximum tota addressable market of a few hundred thousand cars with only a few thousand real consumers. Most people buying electric cars with slower chargers are doing so because those vehicles fit their lifestyle and wouldn’t have a massive incentive to buy a new charger.

It’s almost comical (if it wasn’t so pathetically sad) how divided and polarised the country is.

My mother and her entire extended friend circles are aggressively pro-leave, even tofting sound-bites at me.

A little further south/east (mum lives in Coventry) in Kettering my friend is pro-leave, but not aggressively so, his soon-to-be wife is remain, but they tout their points and agree to disagree. Further south in London people are so pro-remain it’s unfathomable that anyone would leave, if you want to leave then you’re probably very stupid.

I’m pro-remain (although I started as pro-leave before I tried to look into arguments to support me and found - very clearly - that I was wrong) but the country is so passionately divided that I can’t help but think that there really is going to be some kind of rioting in the near future.

> Out of curiosity, how has "EU is telling us what to do" affected these people to make them so angry?

The one area that EU is failing behind is convincing it's own citizens that EU is well functioning democracy working for their common interest.

There are many reasons for this. EU institutions are transparent but due to complexity they are seen as opposite by many ordinary citizens. European Parliament elections attract usually significantly lower interest then national or local elections. Some EU institutional mechanisms have so many checks and balances that they seem to be completely beyond control of ordinary voters.

So it is easy to perceive EU as large Brussels-based, tax-distributing and self-serving bureaucracy conspiring to take away our freedoms and tax money. And many politicians capitalize on that.

Edit: Personally I am also not a fan of politicians like Jean-Claude Juncker or Donald Tusk. But I still prefer them over likes of Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin or Comrade Eleven.
CETA is not a customs union- there are still customs controls between Canada and the EU. If you don't have EU regulations enforced in Canada, those controls do it at the border with the EU. That works. But if you want into the customs union (and therefore being allowed to just walk things across the border to the EU, no checks) you have to sign up to pretty much all the EU regulations. And that's the point that the four freedoms kick in, and you have to take freedom of movement.

If you have a Canada-style deal, you need customs controls, which could be built at Dover, but the sticking point is, and probably always will be, the Northern Ireland border. Put the checks on the border, and you're imperiling the peace process. Put them in the sea, and you're splitting the UK into two regulatory zones. It's an impossible problem.
Apple are primarily a hardware company. They make money on the sale of devices. They also make some money as a marketplace for apps and media. They have no significant revenue from data harvesting or advertising sales.

Google are an advertising company. The overwhelming majority of their revenue is from targeted advertising. Their ability to harvest user data is the primary factor affecting their bottom line.

For Apple, privacy is a no-brainer. It doesn't harm either of their primary revenue streams and it gives them a substantial point of differentiation against their main competitor. Apple have an ongoing commercial imperative to improve the privacy of their products and services; Google have an ongoing commercial imperative to the contrary.

> I never said 'even if they ______'.
That's kind of a stretch of what I originally meant. What I had in mind when I said that I guess was imagining someone running flyers or business cards around town advertising their startup. Stuff that does not manipulate, put at risk, harm, or exploit the user.

I do believe a line should be drawn regarding the reach of any company. It was why I left Facebook in the first place, because yes I considered them too powerful. Not only technology wise but playing a too powerful role in my own personal life. But then I figured the 20+ years I have already spent on the internet has already garnered a healthy data profile on me and just dropping the one service wasn't going to dent that too much. So I came back to keep in contact while now minimizing my time spent on there.

When I mention competitors I am thinking of a company that closely provides a lot of the same functionality as Facebook but without the censoring, surveillance, exploiting of its users. But, even if one existed the only way that would work is if people moved to it. I think it is entirely possible for that to happen. But like you said, who is to say down the road they won't take the same turn that Facebook did?

Its a risk that will always exist on these type of services. One thing remains is that there will always be a demand for socializing / connectivity.

Comparing Facebook to slavery is a bit of a stretch. I think we as a people now have a better understanding of our inherent rights and where boundaries should be. The problem lies in the fact that a majority of the people do not care or acknowledge being the product of a company.

I'm not sure what else to say other than I believe that everyone and every business should have a market that they can succeed in. You're grandmother probably does so because she treats people right. Makes them feel welcome and listens to their concerns and requests in whatever it is that she does. The same should go for larger corporations. They should listen to their users feedback and provide them with what they are wanting. Whether or not these things should even exist is not an argument I am qualified to explore.

I feel I need to clarify this - my post is aimed specifically at optimizing code for high performance. Many of those tips will reduce readability of the code, which may make it harder to determine its correctness.

I'm a big fan of LINQ and I use it in my own code, just not in the high-perf bits. LINQ is great for writing code which has "obviously no deficiencies" in terms of correctness. Without it your code may end up having "no obvious deficiencies".

I also like LinqFaster, LinqAF and these other libraries/tools which can make LINQ usable in more domains.
As you say, it's a complicated topic.

> However the UK gets far more economic benefit than it spends, and the poorest of communities like South Wales have had far more spent on it in targeted social programmes by the EU than has ever been spent by Westminster.

I've thought about this a lot too. My grandparents stayed mostly functional into their late 80s, but I've developed a really high cognitive load for a few decades and experienced some pretty severe sleep deprivation for a couple of them. There's some genetic predisposition, too. I expect to be semi-functional but forgetful in old age.

So, gradually, I've been building out a software architecture which I hope will be able to help. A simple text-based interface to start, some basic NLP, the ability to interface with a lot of different services. I want something familiar, with not too many dependencies (which is why it's not a web-based interface), that's forgiving of spelling and other errors.
That's what I was trying to get at with the question about what people are using the service for. I guess better phrase would be "what are people watching". Once or twice a month I'll open Netflix, browse around, try to watch something and turn it off. It seems like most of what it suggests is their in-house content, which I've had very little luck with. I don't remember the last time I found something I enjoyed by browsing Netflix, as opposed to knowing exactly what I was looking for ahead of time.

Are they just really bad at suggesting content? How do you go about discovering the fantastic content?

Flow batteries, at least the kind that are commercially adoptable in the present/near-future (Vanadium redox), scale in capacity very easily. The downsides are twofold:

* Poor power density
* Relatively limited nominal power output

These compromises are fine for stationary applications, but for vehicles, they'd be a riskier bet as far as I'm aware.

Not really, though a commonly used thermal salt is the eutectic mixture of 60% sodium nitrate and 40% potassium nitrate, which can be used as liquid between 260-550 °C. Table salt, or sodium chloride, has a melting point of around 800 °C. So it really depends on what attributes your looking for.
I agree it gets closer, but as is with much of speech synthesis, it still to me ends up sounding like "a male talking in a high-pitched voice" and not "a female".

In addition, this would imply that only males can talk in a low register, which is patently false. Low register female voices are fairly common.

You're right in general, of course. But here's the reason for my hardline stance on that: history shows that trusting promises or assertions made about things like unique identifiers is unwise, and so I have to take a strong defensive stance.

> you can design a unique identifier system that does not allow tracking

You can (sortof), but we run against that trust issue again. If I'm giving a unique identifier to someone, I have no way of knowing if their assertions about its use are accurate. Even if they are, there's no guarantee that won't change in the future.

> If all you want to do is get a good estimate of how many users use what types of configurations of your software (major and minor version)

You're talking about the perspective of the publisher. I'm talking about my perspective as a user. A company's "need" to collect metrics is their problem, not mine. If their solution results in more information disclosure than I'm comfortable with (and a unique identifier absolutely is), then I will avoid their software or block communications to their home base.
