Yes. The current law in China forbiddens to stay more then 8 years in power, so we can have some hope Mister Xi will sail as smoothly as possible to the end of his mandate term

...without putting in risk the world's long term peace and growth wishes and the Hopes of the chinese commoners of a more "european meaning of liberal" society ,

It means , more individual freedom and respect for peoples religion, sex orientation, traveling in and out the country, things like this, that give a good "air of freedom" to a place.

Mister Xi makes the chinese people scared of loosing, or to see the reversion, of the achievements and improvements and progresses that were made in this field of "micro-freedom" for decades.

But "If you see turtle on a tree, you deduce someone has put it there, cause turtles don't climb trees" , So...

...His vice president is the next president, as Mister xi was the vice-president of the one before him. Thats the unwritten rule. So....

HIs vice-president is the for a reason, and he was not appointed by Mister Xi, he was "swallowed" by Mister Xi, and tolerated, and it was a Business Trade, if you know what I mean, so....

The vice-president is almost as powerful as him, you can be completely sure of that. This the way china goes, it is not like other places. "No Elections" there, my friend.

And there is the prime-minister, same thing, is a "partner" of Xi, is not an "underling" by any means...

So, they are there and we have Hope.....

n.a:

The "liberal in the u.s. meaning", I mean , economy "laissez-faire" , in the trivial sense of it, the chinese economy is wildly free to run desregulated, for instance, a minority of workers are registered and pay labor taxes, and the gov does not care for the huge majority of workers and bosses that don't pay any labor taxes and are unregistered. So , it is already pretty "micro-liberal", in the economic sense.

> China is on the rise but needs US technology and innovation (currently).

China never needed, nor used it. USA is not innovating, nor creating new technology, that's a myth, unless you call somebody creating a 1000th clone of Facebook a "technology."

USA sat on the back of engineering and programming sweatshops in the third world for 3 decades already.

It requires one to have a special level of insecurity, to go so far hellbent on claiming their creativity as to print it in bold letters that "we surely did not buy this off the shelf from OEM in China."

The rich elites in USA are the ones with the strongest "pain:" no Chinese parent in his nightmare will imagine spending 100K+ on dumb "creativity" or "leadership" classes for his child, but in the West... you know the story.
well, for the most part African governance models are fairly attractive to China-based investors, especially in terms of transparency and environmental "protection"
If it can be it will be and expecting otherwise when it comes to China is incredibly naive.

The original title of this article is “Evaluating the GCHQ Exceptional Access Proposal”, but I’m not sure that’s better than the description given by the submitter.

However, I am pretty sure this link has been posted here before, and probably pretty recently. I’d look it up, but the search interface on this HN reader is nonexistent.
The post concisely explains the power of taking small steps in terms of productive work and projects. One thing I do is the pomodoro technique every day. I track and graph the amount of pomodoros I do, so ostensibly I could go back later and measure how many pomodoros it took me to complete some specific project.

The author has sewn together the concepts of non-zero days, the Seinfeld method plus a tweak to the pomodoro technique and then measured his progress. This could work for anyone, it's a good combination, simple to implement and with a little patience almost certainly leads to powerful results over time.
Mistakes happen. My grandparents got one because the sign was a good 50m away (a long way for a disabled driver) and looked like it was referring to another part of the road, and my mother got one when she stopped for 20s to pick me up from somewhere (yes there was a sign, but she hadn't even been stopped long enough to read it).

> Germany does not have a single wind turbine in a single location. It has vast numbers of them across many locations, many of which are situated in areas with near near constant wind. Across the whole portfolio of this production resource there is a certain minimum level of production which is consistently maintained.

Yes, but it's a fraction of total output and it's nowhere near enough to supply the actual base load.

> Yes, the meaning has spread to demand but the idea that base-load demand must be supplied by 'base-load' power plants such as coal or nuclear is a piece of sophistry that quickly dissolves when it is examined closely. Just one reason being that their supply is not guaranteed (as I have described above).

What quickly dissolves into sophistry is the idea that wind energy is remotely comparable to coal or nuclear in terms of supplying base load. Yes, an individual coal plant doesn't have 100% reliability, but it's still massively less volatile than wind.

Okay, let's look at Australia:
https://reneweconomy.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Disap...

What's that big grey part that is "dispatchable"? It's mostly natural gas, which Australia has plenty of (7% of exports), but Germany would need to import. Australians can pat themselves on the back for not using any more coal in the grid, but they still ship it off (16% of exports) for someone else to burn it.

> Western companies will not want to do business with direct competition and even if they did, the US govt wouldn't let them.

The US was a crucial partner in building up the nazi and soviet manufacturing capabilities.

Public US companies care more about the next quarter way more then ant nationalist loyalties.
Small modular reactors in the US are already in the licensing/regulatory phase.[0] They are portable and have reasonable prospects of providing baseload where renewables/batteries can't. Many have very safe failure modes also, not requiring power/pumping. It's going to a niche future for nuclear though.

Cost-wise renewables are already winning in many parts of Earth and viable efficient storage has become the main problem.

Batteries are great for quick on-demand grid balancing, but are environmentally damaging and lose large amounts of capacity within half a decade.

Supercapacitors hold great promise, but like fusion always seem 20 years away. On a $/Ah scale they are useless today, but don't suffer from any of the flaws of batteries apart from weight/volume issues.

Gravity storage [1] seems the most promising, pumped hydro isn't that efficient and very site-dependant, rail or crane weight systems seem to outperform and hopefully they gain some traction

Well yes, I've wondered why people who think factory farming at its worst is acceptable, with their "The animal wouldn't exist without the farm" and "painless slaughter is OK" arguments etc, never consider farmed human meat. One could use a lot of the factory farming arguments in its favour. (Both are abhorrent to me.)

> if "it'll never happen" (because it can't or hasn't happened) is true, then insurance actuaries could establish that and there would be no problem with insuring

Calculating an actuarial probability was never the problem. You can't know the lower bound on the probability of something that has never actually happened, but you can calculate an upper bound based on the period of time it hasn't happened, which is all you really need. They can calculate what the premiums should be.

The issue is that you're asking them to carry a hundred billion dollars in insurance, but insurance companies have capitalization requirements. AIG's market cap is less than seventy five billion. They can't write an individual policy they don't have the resources to pay out on in the event of a claim, regardless of the probability that it actually happens.

So the problem isn't the risk calculation, it's the amount of insurance you want them to carry. The solution is to find someone who could actually pay out a claim that large in the unlikely event that it comes to that, which could only be the government, so that's what they did.
Are they not anonymous? You might be able to recognise it by the work, but at my university, marking was done by people sufficiently far from teaching individual students to ensure that is not the case.
I think it’s less to due with the direct choices FB has made or even their impact on the election, but that FB’s complete and total lack of awareness of how their actions have impacted the world. It wasn’t Trump winning that did it, it was that Trump won with the assistance of data that Facebook was unable to properly protect.

Facebook has lost the trust of the public in ways that other major tech firms haven’t.
The error is understandable, the main prototype RISC-V core is written in Chisel and the "Rocket Core Generator" is written in Chisel. The RISC-V team at Berkeley has a lot of overlap with the Chisel team. So it is easy to think RISC-V is all Chisel. I believe

Well you aren't behind on the green power. As far as i have checked, in 2011 when the reactors were shut down, the plan was to get to 35% of renewable power by 2020, revised up to 40% somewhere around 2014 or 2015, and you got there in 2018. 50% was planned for 2030 already and is clearly going to happen way sooner than that.

> This isn’t about fusion, but fission. I would assume that Gates being a famously bright man, understands that none of us are seeing fusion power in our lifetimes

And the reason for that is because the funding for fusion is below the "fusion never" stage.

https://imgur.com/sjH5r

If Gates were really interested, he'd commit a billion dollars every single year to fusion. That would roughly speaking quadruple the amount of funding driving fusion forward.

And, to top it off, even if you didn't get fusion you'd start getting real engineering spinoff technologies that you could use in other facets of power generation, transmission, storage, etc.
I use Pandoc with Pandoc's dialect of Markdown. My issue isn't in the final conversion step, it's that if I use an editor that isn't careful to preserve syntax it doesn't understand then the Markdown syntax itself may get messed up when loading/saving the file. Historically I haven't been able to trust any native Markdown editors so I just use Emacs and edit in the raw format. But Typora looks promising and I may try to see how far I can get with it.
Working at a large brown shipping company, I've never seen anyone go out of their way to mistreat packages marked as fragile (or anyone talk about doing it).

That said, it's policy not to treat packages marked 'fragile' differently. Boxes get reused a lot, and a sticker like that has very little correlation with it actually being fragile. (60lb box of bolts? Fragile! 2' by 4' mirror that shatters from a 1 ft drop? Not fragile!)

For bicycles in particular, the issue IMO is that they're typically packed terribly, while being large and awkward enough to be handled with all the other large and heavy (70-150 lbs) stuff.

Damages will occur, it's just a matter of statistical frequency at a scale of 20 million packages per day handled by 100,000+ employees. Frequently, the damage won't even be discovered until delivery, and then there's no easy way to attribute the damage properly. That means aside from particularly egregious stuff where it's obvious you screwed up (say, laying a 55" TV flat and dropping a 30 lb box on it) you have to go way up the management chain to find anyone who cares. At a lower level, easily measured metrics like process rate are far more important.

If everyone in management you ever interacted with only measured your performance by LOC written, how much time would you spend refactoring?
I have a funny story about the deWiTTERS game loop that I wrote a long time ago (referred to in the article above)

Back then I was doing mobile game development for PocketPC.

After I left that company, some ex-colleague had to do some changes in my code, or port it, I can't remember. So he was looking at that game loop that I implemented, and was thinking "What the hell is he doing here???". So he did a google search to see if he could find something, and immediately stumbled upon an article, written by that same programmer :D.

He told me years later when I saw him, and said "What are the chances that you search something on google because of code you're going through, and find the article that explains it written by the same programmer".

I was still a junior back then, so probably I should have commented my code a bit better (instead of not at all ;)).

I still want to write a revised deWiTTERS game loop article, because the steps in a physics engine could make the extrapolation redundant.
Very. The page says "As of Heart of the Swarm". This was released in 2013, and obsoleted by Legacy of the Void in 2015.
It’s not that the technology is good or bad. It’s that the industry has lost all its credibility by promising too-good-to-be-true technology for decades, and then delivering mediocre results in many cases, and catastrophic results in others. With taxpayers left holding the bag.

So I would propose, to hedge against the perennial optimism of industry apologists who will never have to back up their claims, have the investors who bet on this also fund an escrow account to the tune of 10x or so of the construction and other initial costs, to make up for gaps in their wildly positive projections. These funds could be invested and returned to the original sources if the project turns out to remain safe and financially worthwhile after x number of years. Not enough money to fund 10x? Then don’t do the project until there is.
Can I inquire how you recruited and what your minimum requirements were?

It seems like you said something a highschool students could do but then you discuss masters degrees.

I've personally found that a lot of employers still hire like it's 2009 during the great recession. Sometimes these days you have to be more creative. Like hire an additional manager at $80k and then hire workers at $40k and have that manager be more hands on.

When an economy is expanding, it is statistically impossible to fill all positions with experienced workers because there are now more jobs than there were before but the same amount of experienced workers. The opposite is true during recession when the economy shrinks. In that case there are a surplus of experienced workers because the amount of jobs have reduced.

Please don't take that as criticism, I just wanted to shed some insight into hiring based upon the rate of growth in an economy.
I wouldn't call this Harvard. It has ICCM/DCCM (closely-coupled memories) that appear to be strict (i.e. core cannot ld/st to ICCM), but everything is in the same (physical) address space, and the CCMs are just mapped into that space. In that sense, the ICCM is not much different from having a ROM in the memory map, which isn't usually seen as making something a harvard architecture.

In my view, RISC-V pretty much precludes a hard Harvard architecture. The fact that RISCV has a FENCE.I instruction that "synchronizes the instruction and data streams" means that a RISC-V implementation can't really be strictly Harvard, since if it was it wouldn't make much sense to invalidate the icache.

This core has an icache, but that also doesn't make it a Harvard architecture. As long as the backing store of both the icache and the dcache is the same, it won't be any more difficult to work with than any other modern modified Harvard architecture (read: pretty much every computer system in every desktop, laptop, phone, etc in the last decades).

> It's not 'unsolved' - it's just that it was economically not useful nor necessary nor wanted to store wind electricity in larger scales and this might be the case for another decade. Then we will see more storage coming online.

The whole thing wasn't economically useful or necessary from the very beginning, otherwise it wouldn't have needed massive subsidies that made Germany have the most expensive electricity in Europe.

> It's not 'unsolved' in the sense that we don't know what to do. It's just that storage needs are just starting to increase.

You don't know what to do. The storage requirements are massive:

Think about it, if you did know what to do, why aren't all the politicians pointing to some clear-cut roadmap on how to achieve the goal, using all the great engineering prowess that Germany is famous for?
