> It won't and it can't. Rather it can at the cost of ~20 trillion dollars (23GWh [1] at 900 million [0] for GWh for the Tesla battery).

Sorry, this statement is incomplete and as a result, leads to an incorrect conclusion.

Tesla (and other Li-ion batteries) are suitable for certain applications (e.g., powering cars, power tools, phones), but bulk energy storage is not one of them. Saying you want to store grid-scale power with tesla batteries is analogous to saying you want to replace the lights in a football stadium with thousands of mobile phone screens. You can do it, but screens are good at displaying image content to single users and not meant for general illumination, and would cost prohibitive from an acquisition standpoint not to mention the ancillary cost issues (e.g. lifetime, replacement).

All you need to do is find an energy storage technology that is appropriate, and the solution suddenly becomes viable. Molten Salt storage, for example, is 33 times cheaper than Li-ion storage. Other much more appropruate mass energy storage options includes H2 production, or 'simply' pumping water upstream of a hydroelectric plant.

Even cryptocurrency enthusiasts aren't using 'crypto' as a currency, outside of a few niches like black market drug sales, they're using it as a sort of speculative commodity.
Haha, rereading that, it came out a lot more ambiguous than I had intended...
Yeah, I found this irritatingly problematic, and it means if I have a DNS issue to my host, I may need to leave Cloudflare just to troubleshoot it.

There's several other features I find missing compared to a more mature registrar, but hopefully they'll get there eventually. For now, I'm moving my low-importance domains over to it for the cost savings, but will keep my primary domains under GoDaddy.
They mark the end of a YML "document", but not the end of a YML "stream", which can contain multiple documents. It's the terminology that's causing confusion.

Previous research has shown females with a male twin to be more proficient at mental 3d-spatial tasks.

I think it is also worth investigating whether phones secretly send any data to Western companies. Chinese authorities cannot do anything to you unless you come to China, but USA authorities have the power to extradite people from most countries. Sending data to US companies is much more dangerous than sending them to China. This can literally get you into jail.

For example, many apps, especially messenger and social network apps secretly or openly export contact lists from devices. Not only this is highly unethical, it might be a violation under GDPR because the information in the contact list is personal information and you must obtain the permission of that person for transferring the data abroad, not only the permission of the phone owner.

Almost every mobile app collects IMEI, a hardware identifier that allows governments and mobile companies to track the precise location of your phone. While such data are highly sensitive, they collect it without any second thought. Even a simple keyboard app was collecting all the data it could grab [2].

I can remember how Google was collecting WiFi data, without permission from access point owners. It was also collecting the traffic sent over WiFi [1].

It seems like the companies in every country have similar interests for users' data.

Also, I have a noname Chinese phone and when I examined its traffic with Wireshark, it was attempting to send data with IMEI to Chinese servers (luckily I had no SIM card inserted so it couldn't get a phone number). It was sending data to Google servers as well, but sadly they were encrypted with SSL and even installing a self-signed root certificate on the device didn't help to decode the contents.

So I think there should be better regulation of data collection. The general rule ("not a single byte" rule) should be that no data can be sent anywhere without explicit user's consent (not a phrase somewhere in the EULA). Also I think the manufacturers should put large warnings on the boxes, like the ones on the cigarette packs, like "This device sends all your private data to country X", "This IoT device will spy on you 24 hours a day", "This device uses a cloud in country Y", etc. So that the consumers better know who will spy on them.

maybe I'm just weird but I always look at the green text below the blue links and expect to see my search terms (or their derived equivalents) with a bit of context. I can't understand why google would even list links where it shows me some context but without _any_ of my search terms in it. I probably wont click on them anyway(unless the title or url are containing search terms)
I don't know your financial situation. Maybe $13K isn't much to you. However, I probably wouldn't buy these shares for the following reasons:

1) The company just fired all of its employees

2) The company just fired all of its employees

3) The company just fired all of its employees

That's a really bad sign. Even if they raise additional money, it likely won't be on good terms. With the price of bitcoin way down from it's peak, and much of the "fools" money in this space dried up, I can't imagine that a company who is so close to the edge that they have to fire all of their employees is going to get great fundraising terms.

But take my advice with a grain of salt, as you obviously know and understand the company better than I do.

As an aside, the fact that you are asking here likely means that you have an emotional investment in the company. I get it. If you really have FOMO, you can always split the difference and maybe exercise half the options, or whatever amount you wouldn't mind losing. I once exercised a few thousand dollars of options knowing that it was a bad investment, but also knowing that if I was wrong and the company did well, I'd have a terrible regret. And it's purely because I worked there for a few years... it's not like I obsess over the fact that I didn't make an early investment in Amazon (where I never worked), even though logically that's the same thing.
This might be besides the point, but isn't it strange for a company to issue ~25,000 shares total? More to the point, it seems like this (and almost all) crypto companies will rise and fall based on the price of crypto. You might be better off just buying a few bitcoin with your money.

>The point is that, from the frequentist definition of a confidence interval, there is nothing at all that we can say about how likely the true value is to be here or there.

Yes - sorry if I wasn't clear. I did not mean to imply that each value in the interval is equally likely (and looking over my comments, I do not think I did imply that).

The complaint is that the article is stating otherwise as fact.

>One practical way to do so is to rename confidence intervals as ‘compatibility intervals’

>The point estimate is the most compatible, and values near it are more compatible than those near the limits.

They simply are not in a frequentist model (which is the model most social scientists uses). I agree with the main thrust of the article in that there are many problems with P values. But I am surprised that a journal like Nature is allowing clearly problematic statements like these.

I don't know enough about the Bayesian world to be able to state if his statement is wrong there as well, but if it is correct there, it is problematic that the authors did not state clearly that they are referring to the Bayesian model and not the frequentist one.

(Not to get into a B vs F war here, but I remember a nice joke amongst statisticians. There are 2 types of statisticians: Those who practice Bayesian statistics, and those who practice both).
Normalizing has similar size benefits. For our use case (big aggregate reporting tables), incoming external data is not normalized, meaning we'd have to have another process iterate over it with foreign table in memory and map it to the foreign key. Enum's can be transparently ingested without this normalization requirement, while taking equivalent space. There's also now one level of indirection between the column and its value. Both are fine.
Well certainly I'm no expert on internet broadcasting. I have experimented a little with nginx's rtmp server for hosting a live stream. Does nginx have the udp broadcasting ability? How many clients could it support? Pretty exciting if the 200 figure can be breached.
Um, no. Just because YOU made more money working for tips doesn't mean it works that way for the majority. A simple search turns up plenty of evidence to the contrary.

This has been May's strategy with parliament. We're soon going to have a third vote on the same deal.

With the referendum it's more justified. There were financial irregularities which would have rendered the result void but the vote was non binding so the Electoral Commission advised it can't intervene other than to fine some of the guilty.
The rice is seasoned using rice vinegar, sugar, and salt; and done to compliment fish or whatever is draped over it. Dunking it into a bowl of soy/wasabi negates the flavors of both. Typically if wasabi is served, it's done as a tiny smear between fish and rice, and the top of the fish will be lightly painted with what ever soy-based sauce the chef chooses. This way the flavor of the rice and it's seasonings is preserved.
Can you hide your contact details? The service is super cheap but that spotlight has a hidden cost.

Yeah a bit of context on Dutch society: people here truly believe in equality. Amsterdam, no matter how crazy hip it is, must remain open to all levels of society.

The government is given a mandate by the People to do whatever it takes to make sure Amsterdam doesn't turn into a millionaire playground. If that means violating capitalism and property rights they will do so without hesitation.

> Have you actually used Flask, by the way? Or the older version of it called Pyramid?

Flask is in no way related to Pyramid. It came out of an April Fools joke in 2010 (http://lucumr.pocoo.org/2010/4/3/april-1st-post-mortem/). Pyramid, OTOH comes out of the Plone/Zope communities (it used to be known as repoze.bfg).

It seems like a lot of the "FastAPI features"[1] are coming not from FastAPI but from Starlette:

You're taking it too literally/assuming too much. It is super easy. Watch.

$ awscli s3 ls
Unable to locate credentials. You can configure credentials by running "aws configure".

That is stupid. Let's fix it.

#!/bin/bash
[ -r .awssettings ] && . .awssettings
[ -n "$USERN" ] || read -p "What is your username? " USERN
if [ ! -n "$PASS" ] ; then
read -s -p "Enter your password: " PASS ; echo ""
fi
[ -n "$REGION" ] || read -p "What region should I run this in? " REGION
echo awscli --region $REGION --user $USER --pass $PASS "$@" \
&& echo -en "USER=$USER\nREGION=$REGION\n" > .awssettings

$ ./foo.sh s3 ls
What is your username? peter
Enter your password:
What region should I run this in? us-east-1
awscli --region us-east-1 --user peter --pass blahblah s3 ls

This is a contrived example, because of course AWS wants obscure tokens and secrets to log in, but the point is that it was trivial to write an interface that helped the user out. The fact that this isn't the default is stupid. (The argument that it fails by default to "help programs out" is dumb, because a simple argument like --no-questions which becomes default without a tty is easy)

Clueless environmentalists demonstating, skyrocketing costs for construction of new reactors, overregulation, fear of nuclear proliferation.

Nuclear is not the only path forward, there's also geothermal power where it's available. Nuclear can be nearly renewable if we reprocess and recycle nuclear "waste" and further burn it in fast breeder reactors. Unfortunately those are prohibitively expensive.
Both my employer and the client my employer has me working for are evaluating it.
Contact information is redacted by default. I've moved a bunch of domains over, they're all redacted in the whois without me taking any action. It lists the registrar as Cloudflare. It shows the domain updated date, the creation date and registry expiration date. There are no contact details listed at all. And it shows the DNS servers (in this case the Cloudflare LOU and MAY name servers).

In fact the sole problem I've had, is with another registrar. I've had my domains with GoDaddy for 15 or 17 years. I've never had a problem with them, so it was fine, but they've begun seriously pushing their prices up (now about double what Cloudflare is charging). All the transfers from GoDaddy to Cloudflare went super smooth, took minutes, except for one high-value domain I've owned since the 1990s. GoDaddy is quasi attempting to hold that hostage, they put it through some kind of manual transfer intervention that will take a week to complete (hopefully).
Were a team of 40 and we are using teams. It does work pretty well for most things, and I like all of the integration options. We had been using Mattermost prior to switching and a few of us still use that instead. The biggest issue I have with teams is the markdown support is not good. It tries to format as you type instead of letting you type markdown and have a type/preview mode. I've raised this on their forum and it doesn't appear to be anything they want to fix either. If they fixed that issue I wouldn't have any complaints.

I was wondering what percentage of those would of been eligible to vote in the referendum originally. As some insight, 971885 of that total are located in the UK and the rest from other countries. Now that does not clarify if they qualify to vote in the referendum or not, but does somewhat raise that aspect of people who have no say in a country, interfering in its democracy.

After all, these are just names of people, sure they may check against an election role register and that does somewhat depend upon no ID-fraud, of which the site offers no protection against whatsoever.

Well worth looking at how this progresses via the data available :- https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/241584.json

Not as I understand it. Note that the author's argument there isn't "frequentism is bad because it gives an unreasonable answer here", it's "the fact that frequentism gives a different answer here demonstrates that it really is answering a different question".
Very valid point, but you're not supposed to point it out here.
>Would you say the builder has a moral obligation to not build a house that’s going to collapse on people?

This is nothing to do with moral obligation. At least for me, much more to with the cost vs return on building a house that’s going to collapse on people.

Unless I'm forced to build website that is accessible, I won't do it.
A lot of points resonate with me, but here are some counterarguments to me that resonated quite well:

1. As a first-time founder, YC (the community + the program itself) is a great education. I've learned a ton about different growth channels at a "growth bootcamp", about different possible business models (through the companies that have come and done talks and those in our small group), and about the pitfalls of a startup (through the former founders who are both in the batch and presenting at the talk). All of these have compressed a lot of informal learning into formal/less-informal lessons

2. You still get to choose how to run your company, unless you give up majority voting shares of your company and/or board control. Even that decision is ultimately up to you. It's important to go into every conversation having a good idea of what is best for you and your company, and then to consider what is best for the investor. You will face pressure, but it's essential to have your own perspective in mind and be steadfast in crucial circumstances

3. The community and credentialing is amazing. YC has a reputation that helps to hire and partner with other important companies and people

4. I put this last, but to some founders, this is the most important part. If you are raising money, Demo Day is just a completely unique circumstance to do it

I definitely don't regret doing YC, but I seriously considered not doing it before. I'd bootstrapped all of my past companies, but points 1 and 2 here were the ones my friends mentioned that convinced me to do it
That is literally how democracy is supposed to work. You have regular(ish) elections to appoint your "representatives" in parliament (representatives in scare quotes because they seldom represent the people).

Even the 2016 EU referendum wasn't the first we've had. As the voting populous grows old, new voters come of age, and the relationship with our EU partners change, it makes total sense to revisit past decisions.

Nothing in democracy should be closed to re-evaluation for all time in the future just because some people made a vote once.
Well yes a ton :) And these are the ones off the top of my head... others feel free to list ones I'm missing

As pure transit, I agree with you.

But that price includes the sleeper and meals. If you view this as the vacation itself, it's not far off the price you'd be paying for hotels and meals.
I noticed the [1] in your comment but it seems to be missing the actual link? I'd be interested in reading about it.

Like many other topics today, discussions around energy and renewables has become so ideologically driven that it's hard to find any actual decent discussions.
Ok, I was a bit too blunt there, but the fact remains that presenting the marginal generation capacity cost of solar or wind as the total cost to deliver that capacity in a 24x7 system is simply wrong.

If the cost for the next wind turbine or solar farm was just $1 it would be wrong to assume that your incremental energy cost is now just $1. You still have to build the coal/gas/nuclear plant to generate power when that turbine or farm is generating 0 energy. And because power from solar and wind can start and stop at any time you have to keep your other base load plants fired up and ready to go at any time.
Nah, just introduce a land value tax, and then welcome the foreign investors and speculators etc who came in and pay taxes for your local community.
