>$/MWh is the only real metric that matters.

Given this statement and the chart that shows solar and wind already being the cheapest energy sources this must mean we can just switch to solar and wind ... right?

Except we know we can't. We know that the variablity of solar and wind makes those impossible replacements for coal and gas. I guess price isn't the only metric that matters.

I went further for myself and looked at protein per dollar and several others as well. This was 12 years ago and I no longer have the spreadsheet, but lentils and other beans were absolutely stellar, shrimp and turkey are great for protein and tryptophan.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler_syndrome

The Kessler syndrome (also called the Kessler effect,[1][2] collisional cascading or ablation cascade), proposed by the NASA scientist Donald J. Kessler in 1978, is a scenario in which the density of objects in low Earth orbit (LEO) is high enough that collisions between objects could cause a cascade where each collision generates space debris that increases the likelihood of further collisions.
You say those like they aren’t both extremely important things. Windows 95 was the inflection point where desktop personal computers became “accessible” and coincided (despite their detour into MSN) with the commercialization of Internet in a way that bootstrapped our modern world. The computing world of 2019 isn’t perfect, of course, but don’t take it for granted :)

Apple A/UX always felt unfinished to me. Great leveraging the partnership with IBM, but IIRC some Mac apps would fail to run in some weird ways.

I played with it as a sysadmin at work, on a Mac IIfx with thousands of dollars of RAM installed.

Did you ever get to play with the Apple Network Server? A rebadged IBM/6000 box.

Apple's approach to distributed network services was really great...

Alas. This era was like the Xerox Alto -- visionary, but required $10,000 to run.

The arctic and antarctic regions are literal ninth-circle hellscapes (the ninth circle of hell is the one that is frozen over). Significantly worse than the areas around Chernobyl which is apparently well on the way to becoming a national park.

I'm not sure that there is a 'risk' that the human brain can't process. Risk of what, exactly? Huge cost to the generation that has to move, massive risk if it hits farmland, sure. But even assuming that the 'millions of years' figure is factual - which I doubt - we are certainly going to run out of human race before we run out of land. The risks are all fairly short-term things.
> batteries that could power entire cities for days or weeks show no sign of materializing any time soon.

This is simply untrue.

https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/pges-recording-...

The batteries have already materialized, and once they start installations at scale this will be taking over the energy market. This makes solar/wind viable as a base load power source virtually everywhere in the world. Even in places that get heavy cloud cover such as Northern Europe will start using these solutions at scale within the next few years.

Google Wave.

At work we use Slack, Email, Google Docs, etc. We’re never quite happy with how things work - what should be email vs Slack, at what point should a a Slack conversation become an email conversation to be visible to more people, when should that turn into a doc for a more formal review process, etc. We’re trialling Notion for some things and it’s good. What should be a Wiki?

Whenever we have any of these discussions, I always feel like we’re circling around what Wave once was, and potentially could have been. It wasn’t fully polished, but so many of the fundamental concepts were there. If it had stuck I think communication in companies would be much better than it is now.
There were multitudes of design flaws.

* building reactors in areas with severe earthquakes and tsunamis was the main design flaw

* flood protection too low, even though this was known

* backup-generators not safe against flooding

* loss of outside electricity over a long period of time -> powerlines were not working, other sources of electricity on the grid were offline due to earthquake

* too long time to restore electricity, we are talking about many MWs for cooling and other purposes -> generators were difficult to bring in with further problems making them work

* various damage due to earthquake on reactors, buildings and infrastructure around the plant

* too much spent fuel in pools, required large amount of electricity for cooling

* spent fuel pools high in the buildings, hard to reach

* no cooling capability in case of days-long loss of electricity -> then needs to be cooled with seawater pumped with vehicles with concrete pumps (which were flown in from remote places, even from the US) -> caused structural damages to buildings and spread radiation

* no idea what to do with the contaminated cooling water

* no protection in main buildings against the explosions that happened

* no technology existed for a decade or more to deal with molten cores

* ineffective security/safety process -> the plant had checks a few months before the accident with no consequences

* unwillingness to invest major amounts of money into upgrades

* life extension for outdated reactors, due to economical pressure

* no independent controlling instances for the nuclear industry
I've got the Suunto 9 smartwatch, it has always on display and battery usually lasts around 7 to 9 days.
Yes, it ties in to the outrage culture that has developed on the internet. A lot of people now seem to treat others as NPCs in a video game, to be abused or treated in any way that trips the "player's" dopamine.

I hope that it burns itself out and the web as a whole moves on from it.
That "explanation" is the biggest joke.

Seriously, why can't companies just behave normal when Apple enters a market?
The Tesla battery stores enough energy to run the South Australian grid for 5 minutes and cost 40 million. It's only use is to keep the frequency of the grid from drifting.

This being my day job, it would add $8k to the electricity bill of the two child household in Australia if we used your solution to store the wind and solar power.
That is a cool site! Good work.

Out of curiosity, where does the data come from and how do you make sure it's kept up to date? And is your data Open Data?
Servo, while a research project, is also a place to build the fastest possible implementation of a browser (w/o full backwards compatibility), then crib the best performing parts and move that into mainline Firefox (what Project Quantum is, a metered replacement of Gecko).

Swapping out the jet engine of Firefox in flight (Gecko) was likely to be a very bumpy, messy road, thus Mozilla has chosen to break the problem down into manageable chunks by having a parallel team build Servo and push the bleeding edge of performance & features, while having another team break the new code (Servo) and the old code (Gecko) apart into the separate , interchangeable pieces, then clean up standards compliance in the new Servo module and prep it to be replaced.

Essentially, its the Cathedral vs the Bazaar all over again. Microsoft Edge was a ground up rewrite of most of the browser (the Cathedral model of software dev) along with Android (built behind closed doors at Google, then code dumped right before a new major release). Mozilla didn't like how this model could easily backfire, choosing a more metered approach by developing smaller, swappable components in the open.

For practical purposes You capture the most at launch and progressively discount over time capturing the most revenue by forcing those who want the game closer to launch to pay more. In theory you lose some buyers who prefer to have a competitors product right now but 60 50 30 30 is still better than 25 x 5.
It's certainly not as readable as the Haskell version, despite the claim to the contrary in the comments. But it's nice to see them supporting this style of programming.
I disagree. In the public mind, Windscale isn't distinguished as a military accident; a power station was on the same site and the accident caused great public concern. It might be 60 years ago but it is still part of the PR legacy that affects nuclear energy in the UK today.
Access to all/some contributor's local git repository is a powerful capability but you need to think deeply about 1 or 2 core use cases. "Pull up a chair" is only a surface activity, what's the user's real intent here? Is she trying to understand some part of the codebase or pair programming or debugging together? How can CoDiff help in that core activity?

To get you started here's something I would find useful,

- If I am starting to edit parts of the code that would create conflict with remote or peer's local state, just send us a notification. Much easier to avoid merge conflicts than resolving them.

Also think of developer psychology, e.g. I don't want peers to randomly peek into my WIP code. Things of that sort. Good luck!
The diagrams in that way are problematic. When you model them as digraphs and use this layout and order them from too to bottom you get all the tables at the top that represent n:m relationships and at the bottom (at different levels) your main/independent entities.

At least bottom to top would pack the independent ones to the top and those that represent many-to-many relationships at the bottom.

From my work with Oracle Datamodeler know that even at a dozen tables manual layout beats an algorithm any time. And the oracle algithms are more sophisticated/less general than dot.
Proof that certain parts of Reddit have more to them than the stereotypical "festering cesspool of malfeasance" image that a lot of people associate with Reddit. /r/machinelearning is one of the better subs, IMO.
What I'm missing from the post is the difference between links and buttons and why it's important. When a screen reader user hears "link", he/she expects to be forwarded to another page (or anchor). A button on the other hand indicates an action, e.g. a hamburger menu or a modal.

I would go for native buttons (and reset their styles) in most cases over trying to implement every part of the ARIA specs.

Estate agents in the UK will tell you the best value is to buy a cheap house in the best neighborhood. That may make financial sense in that you can gain some economic benefit by bringing the standard of your house up. The downside is every day you will feel like the poorest person in the area. Doing the opposite might give you a better sense of well-being.
Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder, but although subjective, there seems to be a popular consensus that the browser's defaults can be improved. And apparently it doesn't take much to get to another popular consensus of what is acceptable. That's where a project like this takes us.
Right, how often do you actually need to do this?

In my experience query building to this degree is usually a sign of over optimising for code reuse where it isn't really needed.

The times it does make sense, it's usually a search problem that is better solved by something like elastic search.

That isn't always feasible so what you end up with is a naive approach and just build the damn string. Or if it's needed you decompose it into the parts that are needed elsewhere table_headers() is usually all you need to stay DRY.

It's not as pretty as an ORM, it shouldn't be used for every little query "because you might need it in the future". But the cases it is needed are rare, so does it really matter?

Like you've got to adjust your frame of reference. Your database schema is static, it's not going to completely change out from under you at runtime, it's just a non problem.
So... sufficiently good governance pursuing the general welfare of citizens is indistinguishable from socialism? ;)
The definition of "safer" is fewer people killed per kilowatt hour of energy generated. By that very reasonable metric, nuclear power is objectively less deadly than rooftop solar or wind turbines.
I MUCH prefer it. I've been using reddit daily for just under a decade.

VRML was far too ahead of human thinking, we ended up with a flat web of 2D rather than anything like what came with SGI demo discs back in the day. Frames as in frameset worked really well if you had a VRML world in one screen, the UX was immersive.

I helped my sister get a job with a VRML demo that fitted on a floppy disk. Disks, yeah. Application sent in the post with CV and disk - imagine that. Then imagine the person bothered enough to put disk in machine. Another world.

The VRML had some type of building with bits of my sister's CV in each room, you could click on things to hear stuff, see stuff or read stuff. The trips abroad for her degree were done in this interactive style, the view outside was the general scene of the countryside we grew up in, hobbies and interests were in there too.

She did get the job but never worked on anything as ambitious in this 'interactive media' job as what was on that 1.44Mb disk, even with vast teams. I really like it how VRML gave a glimpse to a future that was never to happen, not due to one's own helplessness but due to the lack of imagination and creativity going on when the rest of the web was flat table layouts. People preferred that to thinking in 'scene graphs'.

Vulnerabilities of an ESP8266 Board

I had a Norwegian girlfriend for a time and I can tell you they just think differently to us (British) people. While in Britain, and by extension the US, people just want more, more, more and constantly thin they are being ripped off, in Norway they feel happy with what they already have and think in very modest terms. She was one of the few women I've dated who didn't go shopping for fun every week. Very refreshing for me as a frugal person aiming to retire early. I miss her actually.

No, saying that it lacks verisimilitude. When fiction’s plot prevents you from suspending disbelief, it makes it hard to take it seriously as a comment on reality.

Magic is fine. People should act the way that people act.
Touche. I agree, "only metric" is hyperbolic, but it is the main metric that determines future investments.

This is why the most important number is $/MWh for "solar/wind + storage". Storage has to be included in the equation. At current prices that puts "solar/wind + storage" about equal with natural gas, but those prices are dropping rapidly.

Installation times are also very significant factors in reaching emission reduction targets. Waiting 10+ years for nuclear to come online just isn't viable. Solar+storage can be operational at the same scale as a nuclear plant within 2-3 years.
The default style for browsers (if you do not put any css) looks rather good to me. I do not honestly understand what is the problem.

Band 13 is Verizon's 700Mhz LTE band, and is the core of Verizon's coverage. Band 4 (2.1Ghz downlink from tower, 1.7Ghz uplink from phone) would be nice for speed, but isn't strictly necessary to build something that has LTE. The only major sticking point with this is Verizon has a nasty habit of letting non-approved devices (like this) run for a few weeks, then suddenly bricking them without any notice.

This module meanwhile will work on all of T-Mobile's bands and all of AT&T's commonly deployed bands: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/EC25-AF-Mini-Pcie-CAT4-Wirel...

Neither T-Mobile or AT&T will brick your unapproved device, unlike Verizon.
Realistically signal/noise ratio of 0.05 to 0.01 is good enough in open forum comments. It's still possible to scan comments and find the signal from the noise.

Usenet was incredible before the eternal September. There was noise, trolls, flame wars and mentally instable people and good and bad moderation decisions, but the good was really good. Party due to the higher quality of the users and from the inability to make money from it. Top people were reading and lurking in relevant newsgroups and commented sometimes or sent private comment via email.

HN has two things common with Usenet, good moderation and higher than average users. What has changed is the motives. There are many users who are self promoting or marketing with pseudo-informative submissions. They push blog posts that are just written to increase visibility and "what I experienced when doing business", many of those stories made up.
With all this negative stuff, HN has still good singal/noise ratio and you can learn from comments and discussions.
It's a valid qualification to speak on the reasonableness of community fears.

As someone who grew up near a Lockheed factory and a father that worked for NASA, you are qualified to speak about the community impacts of building and operating flying machines.
No, not true. Design of this sort used to be the norm. There are variations of it in all climates.

Igloos:

On the outside, temperatures may be as low as −45 °C (−49 °F), but on the inside the temperature may range from −7 °C (19 °F) to 16 °C (61 °F) when warmed by body heat alone.

I can't readily find a source with details, but traditional desert cities were located on high ground and the streets oriented to catch the winds such that daytime street temperatures were pleasant.

We used to design buildings and cityscapes to work with the local climate. Now, we slap up cardboard boxes, inject insulation and add HVAC systems, counting on technology to keep things comfortable in place of good design. In reality, well designed buildings are more comfortable and probably less likely to suffer from sick building syndrome.
You start with a set of things and you map them to a smaller set of categories. The more you learn about things, the bigger your set of categories becomes, until eventually you find the sets are equal.

Far too much effort is wasted arguing along the way.
This is wonderful! Thank you.
Next they should target the media companies. These are the most annoying
Imagine that based on local income a digital product that has virtually no marginal cost is $25 in one market and $50 in another for whatever currency you please.

If someone in market B can by clicking over to a different storefront for market A then logically the vendor will no longer offer the good at the lessor rate in market A.

They will have to figure out what price maximizes revenue in both and it will surely disadvantage buyers in market A because the vendor gains as much for one market B buyer as two market A buyers.

If 40% of your buyers are from poor land then losing every one of them is as costly as dropping richland users prices by 1/3.

What if the vendor offered coupons available only locally to make it more feasible to differentiate prices while keeping stuff portable?
