There's still a thriving video chain in the area where I live: Family Video. Family Video focused on owning their real estate instead of renting.

I can get a BluRay from Family Video and a pizza from Marcos delivered to my door in under an hour with a $10 or more purchase from Marcos. It ends up being a cheap date night with my fiancee.
Its taxpayers of course.
Improve your QA process and you will not be waylaid by something as simple as a typo.
That's not enough even, in previous cases we've seen researchers augment datasets with other data to de-anonymize. https://www.wired.com/2007/12/why-anonymous-data-sometimes-i...

But I think in general the idea OP was dismissing was generating synthetic data rather than attempting to anonymize prod data. In that case you have a risk of modeling the generator rather than your users.
OOP definitely allows you to add both data abstraction and procedure abstraction. FP is opinionated concerning how one should abstract and OOP is fundamentally less opinionated - for good or ill (that is pretty much the debate).
Most people use 60Hz monitors, which means you'll always get uneven frame-timing with 24fps content (3:2 pulldown). Modern TVs support 24Hz for 24fps Blurays so the motion looks better.
To avoid becoming unprofitable? You don't wait until you're on the verge of bankruptcy to take action.
These "no rule is valid unless it works for everyone 100% of the time" arguments are tiring. There is literally no rule that meets these criteria, yet humans are smart enough to recognize when something works relatively consistently for most people, and consider that a good thing. People wanting absolute guaranteed results for all cases come across as deliberately contrarian.
Kind of the same. Loved Cities: Skylines to death but the traffic AI killed it for me. It gets to the point where you're stuck building unrealistic designs to workaround the flawed AI pathfinding. It's true you can mod it but it requires a ton of extra manual work to reassign lane routing in each and every city intersection, on top of killing performance.

I'm just waiting for the sequel to the game where they may open up the traffic AI to modders more, or fix some of the stuff broken with the existing engine. That said, it's become kind of the gold standard for city sims so OP should definitely check it out.
It's a spectrum. My goal is to "teach the right things" that you would need in a realistic setting and have the simulation try it's honest best to simulate everything in realistic scope, detail and behaviour, but I might cut some corners with bureaucracy that is involved in real-world city planning to not compromise on fun.
A list of vocabulary words from the movie to memorize ahead of time would be nice.
They've got a queue to work through. I am sure the queue is prioritized in a way that is not to your advantage (i.e. most popular extensions get reviewed more quickly).

Why don't you suggest your users to switch to a browser that does not force them to use a central repository that's too slow to get your updates? You need to convince them at the same time that there are no benefits lost to the way Chrome Web Store operates.
And to be fair, the general consensus is that Trudeau has de-facto dissolved the US border since he came into power. It has been problematic for the cities and provinces who ultimately have to house/care for the people that the Federal government decides to allow into the country, the takes 2 or more years to process.

Toronto for example, saw its tiny shelter surplus evaporate and over 40% of those using shelters are now of the "irregular" immigration category [1]. It got so bad that certain hotels became de-facto shelters (with the tab picked up by the tax payers). It's something to be quite aware of because it is impossible to do this without generating some level of resentment by the people who feel their hospitality is being exploited.

Thankfully winter is over so being homeless is no longer a death sentence, but Canada should not be used as an example of how to handle poverty or immigration at this moment.

You could also make 720k DSDD disks into 1.44M DSHD disks by making a hole in the corner (similar to the write-protect hole but opposite corner). Of course, 720k disks seemed to be made to lower tolerances than 1.44M disks, so it was not a very reliable method, and usable only in a pinch.
You're incorrect on the cost of gas, you can not spin up any natural gas turbine "whenever, wherever" for $40/MWh. As another comment has stated, there are multiple kinds of turbines with different and more expensive costs than $40 ranging up to $200+/MWh. Behind the scenes, there is the task of actually getting the LNG to the turbine, which is a variable cost commodity and transportation is tricky. This fluctuation may be damaging to utilities, who would prefer stable prices over time to balance their books.

Compare these variables in the cost of natural gas electricity to the price stability of batteries+renewables over time, and you've neglected some of the main reasons batteries+renewables will become increasingly attractive over time, especially vs the much more expensive+dirty coal sources in the 2020's, and even to the cheaper but still dirty natural gas in the 2030's and 2040's.

Be careful with your errors and oversights. With the climate on the line for 1000's of years, we can not afford sloppy argumentation, even on HN comments. We need to accurately assess the strengths and weaknesses of the energy sources so we can best navigate towards a healthy society and planet.
That is a common strategy but, as far as I can tell, a completely useless one. The US govt has been spending resources for years pushing messages that people should just not do drugs, or that by doing drugs they are funding terrorists, destroying families, etc. I haven't seen any evidence that such campaigns work, and given drug use rates across time and countries I'm pretty skeptical that they do.

There is a difference between maintaining MySQL servers and the underlying operating system and writing efficient queries, optimizing indexes, knowing how to design a normalized table and knowing when to denormalize, looking at the logs to see which queries are performing slowly etc. using AWS doesn’t absolve you from knowing how to use AWS.

There is no value add in the “undifferentiated heavy lifting”. It is not a companies competitive advantage to know how to do the grunt work of server administration - unless it is. Of course Dropbox or Backblaze have to optimize their low profit margin storage business.
As the README indicates, this is a networking client library to control JJRC H61 drones over their built-in network control protocol, with the goal apparently being to abstract over the control protocol for a variety of drones.

Haha, nope, it is not. CD includes testing your changes prior to delivery (it's why it's commonly referred to as CI/CD).

Btw, instead of attempting ad-hominem attacks, perhaps you should stop for a bit and reconsider why you are getting so many down-votes around here.

Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection
On this topic: Does anyone know why we haven't started to utilize electric cars as a mechanism for nighttime home energy?

It seems like having these batteries centralized is actually not the right solution, but instead that they should be at the edge, and connected to the home grid, such that they can be charged during the day, and decharged during the night to some maximum amount specified by the user.

A Tesla has 50kWh capacity and I typically use 6kWh at night - it seems like an obvious place we could leverage batteries already in existence to reduce the demand on central generation.
The typo case is certainly unfortunate. This policy changes does present new challenges to product planning and associated marketing, and I sympathize with the short term impact that has on you and others similarly situated. I hope you and others are able to adapt as others who develop for centralized platforms have had to do so.
It's just crossed out because I didn't write anything about my plans yet in the design document. I do want to have a weather and water simulation at some point.

So if it can't be perfectly exact, we better not even try?

Tax codes (or other laws) don't need to be executed by a computer. They need to be executed by an accountant/auditor/judge. So you can rely on well-defined but still human concepts like "security", "place of residence", "child care", "employment", "property improvement", "dependent", "exchange of goods", etc.

Just because it can't be fully specified in x86 doesn't having a clearly defined tax code is an absurd idea.
True in some cases. But we've also seen plenty of public companies who are profitable but still lay off people for improved cash flow/stock price, which means more bonus for the few at top.
Regarding the yield curve tweet, I'm pretty well acquainted with that whole theory since I listen to The Indicator from Planet Money podcast, and it's a favorite topic of theirs. I was going to note that it generally signals a recession when it's inverted for a whole quarter, but then I read the Tweet.

And it's about how the lower than usual rates it's currently at matter for what it says, which makes sense.

Then I noticed it was Paul Krugman making the observations.

Any prior points I had no longer seem worth adding now. ;)
Gee, no Indians either, so I guess we have to interpret that as unfair hiring practices.
As a Candian coming to the US I would like to look at the criminal justice system's influence on these statistics.

The week long delay could also be a reflection of how understaffed that team is. Or they haven't yet automated what can be done automatically. It doesn't necessarily mean that the code review is thorough.
Sorry, I only now got OP‘s intention.

I believe it’s somewhat defensible to task only one side here with protecting the data. They have that data all the time, and it’s therefore more practical for them to explore the legality of such requests. They are also the party entrusted with that data by the customer, and therefore have a fiduciary duty. It also aligns with the idea of those profiting from data to accept liability for its protection.

There’s probably also a federal/state law angle here that I’m unqualified to opine on.

Also: this is civil law, and therefore nobody was or will be charged (just a pet peeve).
started cutting some podcasts I'm following, and this one was pretty interesting..
Absolutely! In NYC I miss the great video stores of yesteryear like Kims. The streaming services don’t have depth and the problem is getting worse as they devote more spend towards building internal proprietary content and less towards renewing older third party content.
Presumably they are doing something during that week; namely code reviewing all the patches in front of yours in the queue.

Don't get me wrong. I, too, wish that other developers would drop whatever they're doing on demand to prioritize my immediate needs. I would also prefer that they waive their normal security concerns because, after all, I already know that I am trustworthy. I've got enough self awareness not to publish a blog post about it, though.
First and foremost, you need to have a decent looking resume. Normally, I would search for jobs in sites (without enrolling) like google.com/jobs, stackoverflow.com/jobs and also update my LinkedIn profile. If I am dead serious, I would add my profile in any of the job sites like monster.com, indeed.com, dice.com etc..Hope it helps.

Did I? If you invest in a piece of heavy machinery does it just sit around doing nothing, i.e. not generating any sort of profit.

No it's an item that produces work, unlike a painting which I'm totally OK with making it impractical to invest in.

>> number of hours that the batteries can load-shift power

Isn't that defined by the price per MAh of the batteries which was mentioned in some of the parallel threads?
They are often paid to create these things, by their employers. They then open source them to in the hope of getting free engineering resources from other companies that care about the same thing.
The threat of first sale was still enough to protect the video stores during negotiations so the threat mattered. As an example, I recall hearing Netflix had some early negotiations fail and went to buy disks in stores as an end run.
I just wanted to make clear that BNEF is talking about batteries threatening fossil peakers that produce expensive electricity, while OP was wondering how inexpensive CCGT generation could be threatened by batteries. CCGT and peakers are distinct and have different costs even when they both burn natural gas.

Hawaii doesn't generate electricity from natural gas but it does consume a lot of petroleum-fueled electricity:

https://www.eia.gov/state/?sid=HI#tabs-4

Here's a story about a Hawaiian island replacing diesel output with solar and batteries from a couple of years ago:

https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/03/kauai...

More recently, the Hawaiian Public Utilities Commission has approved 247 megawatts of new solar capacity backed by nearly a gigawatt-hour of battery storage:

https://pv-magazine-usa.com/2019/03/28/hawaiis-new-reality-o...

"The price for each of these contracts was between eight and ten cents per kilowatt-hour. This is cheaper than both gas peaker plants and HEI’s current cost of fossil fuel generation, much of which is petroleum-based, which the company put at around 15 cents per kilowatt-hour."

Note that these prices are only $80-$100 per MWh, because most of the solar electricity is consumed immediately and doesn't need to be stored in a battery.

Why would it be racist or nationalistic? Canada is very open to educated and wealthy migrants from all cultural / ethnic backgrounds and I appreciate it. Likewise, poor Migrants from Germany are just as undesirable als poor Africans. It's an indisputable fact that they will have less poverty this way.

My comment will be downvoted anyway. Simply because some people don't like facts that are in the way of their ideological facade.
I worked there as a kid, and trust me, I agree for the most part.

"Make it work, Make it right, Make it fast." - Kent Beck

My take on correctness is this: for ethical reasons, a developer should never be the final say on whether their solution is correct.

The users, whose voices are concentrated in the one and only Product Owner, should always have the final say on the correctness of our production code.

The tricky bit is proving to the Product Owner and ourselves that we have met the users' expectations.

I believe this is where testing and refactoring comes in. Language and programming paradigm choices are window dressing if the actual code is a slapdash mess with no formal proofs of correctness.

Until some genius comes up with something better, those proofs must take the form of fully passing, comprehensive test suites.
> offline rendering (e.g. Blender Cycles) I think also just uploads the whole scene once and then bounces the rays around…

I'd imaging a workload like that or other HPC-compute workloads where the data set just doesn't fit in VRAM would certainly prefer more PCI-E lanes.

I think that'd usually be considered using the wrong hardware for the job but if you're just messing around as part of a hobby you're obviously not buying the $7000 Radeon Pro SSG, either.
We don't need to know what the right number is exactly to know that $1 is not a good faith estimate of the value of IP licensed from Apple USA to Apple France (for a somewhat hypothetical example). As far as I understand many of the games hinge on tricks like that.
Do you have a writeup of the traffic simulation rules that you're using? I peeked in the code and saw the intelligent driver model is being used for acceleration. I suppose you also have a lane-changing model and such, too.

Your architecture could be very useful in teaching.
It worked for brand-name disks (Maxwell?), but 1.88 on floppies from no-name vendors was inevitably a game of luck. Formatting and writing them was OK, but more often than not reading them back didn't work.

If ICE had used any coecion at all to get the guest lists, Motel 6 wouldn't be in trouble with the state of Washington. Motel 6 is in trouble because they violated the law voluntarily.

Rang is a rather big deal in electric cars. You would need to be able to tell the car, I don’t need X range today before discharging it to the grid is a good idea. On top of that, discharge cycles reduce battery lifespan so you need to make a lot bore they are worth using.

The reverse was considered viable as nighttime energy was cheap and as long as you charged before X AM users would presumably not care.
I've had a similar experience lately and it's frustrating. Literally 1 of 9 reviewers gave meaningful feedback. The rest either had no comment or such vague comments to be useless. Other published papers had comments that just regurgitated the abstract in an effort (I assume) to demonstrate they read the paper. I really wonder if many reviewers just "check the box" so they can say they review for X Journal
IANAA(I am not an appraiser), but I'd assume there exists processes to value these assets already. Maybe these processes were gamed in the lead up to 2008, but that doesn't mean safeguards can't be implemented(or not purposely weakened) to prevent this.
I think the best reliable estimate I know of is 600$/ton of solid sequestered CO2. (That’s an operating plant.) olivine based methods could be a 1/3 of that. That puts the cost at 6$/gallon of consumer-grade fuel. I feel like if I ran a 1300 hp car for an hour, I’d use far more than 9 gallons. CCGT must be hella efficient.
They could be applying back pressure on the review queue. I'm going to guess that you'll be doing a lot fewer releases now.

Anyways, I get that the turnaround time stinks.

Would it be appropriate to re-architecture your extension, so that only the minimal code necessary is in the actual extension? And put the rest into a progressive web app? The way I think of extensions is similar to a device driver for an OS, a way to add functionality that an app needs that isn't already provided by the base platform.

This way, you only need to push a new extension update whenever you need new api-level functionality, and you have total control over the rest of the user experience (regular HTML/CSS/javascript).

Or would this cause the extension to be rejected by Google, on the grounds that the "api" that it adds would be too open to abuse?
Isn't this all common knowledge? I don't think anyone has considered Nietzsche a Nazi for a long time. I certainly didn't learn anything new and I have only a cursory familiarity with Nietzsche and his works. This review(?) doesn't even mention some of the more interesting aspects of his life, and the snide comment about Zarathustra was just... strange. I'm sure the biography is great, this review doesn't sell it very well at all.
