It seemed to be the most DIY-friendly product line with a complete selection of things that I wanted. Plus very popular so lots of armchair experts out there in the related Facebook groups. :)

We have a 36 HP Yanmar 3JH2E so that would be about 27,000 watts. Now say that wanted to give up the ability to approach hull speed while motoring, maybe 1/2 of that would be OK. So call it 12,000 watts, or 1000 Ah in a 12V system to motor for an hour. Our batteries were close enough to $1,000 for 100Ah so it will cost you $10,000 to have enough batteries to motor for 1 hour.

The solar capacity to get you into the barest realm of running that motor or charging a sufficient battery bank would be 3000 watts...minimum. The most I have heard of on a 40-50 foot monohull is 2400 watts. A catamaran could get you there, but you will give up looks and be spending $100,000+ on panels, controllers, wiring, mounting, etc. And weight is crucial on a catamaran so bust out more cash to make it lightweight.

All this means that realistically you will have 1 hour or less of electric motor run time. I have only been sailing for 5 months so take this with a grain of salt, but I usually have somewhere to get to before dark and I also don't enjoy waiting days for favorable weather or inching along at 4 knots in crappy wind. And I like traveling on the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. I use the engine to keep our speed above 6 knots. So if I was to go with electrical propulsion I would put in a generator (probably a DC generator).

Sailing Uma has some YouTube videos about electric propulsion on their sailboat. Their style of travel is much different than mine. They sail a lot more!

This is a very, very insightful point. I would add: never expect a singular "perfect" algorithm, but rather build a framework that lets you blend (and evaluate/weight) the signals from various hacks, workarounds, heuristics, and "proper" algorithms.
How do you feel about the idea that the 9/11 terror attacks are virtual impossible in a post-9/11 world?

Remember that pre-9/11, plane hijackings meant you would get landed and then used as a bargaining chip for a ransom. So, now passengers know a hijacking attempt is a fight for their life (whereas before the recommended advice was to sit tight and let the hijackers do their thing).

Also, now, cockpit doors are reinforced and pilots won't open them for hijackers, no matter the cost.
Clearly, it can’t.
From the article:

The Neptunian Desert is the region close to stars where no Neptune-sized planets are found. This area receives strong irradiation from the star, meaning the planets do not retain their gaseous atmosphere as they evaporate leaving just a rocky core. However NGTS-4b still has its atmosphere of gas.
this is already happening. the driver does see the rating and does decide if they want to pick you up or not.
effectively, if you have a low rating you will have troubles getting a ride today without uber banning you.
The Startup HR Toolkit
The soviet nuclear industry was very close to the worst-case scenario - inherently unsafe reactors being operated by badly trained personnel and overseen by a corrupt and secretive agency that barely deserves the title of "regulator". The Chernobyl disaster could have been far worse if it weren't for the extraordinary bravery of the liquidators, but there's just no way that such a catastrophically dangerous reactor could be built in 2019.

The RBMK reactors at Chernobyl were based on a design from the the early 1950s and were crude even by the standards of the time. The reactor design is inherently unsafe for several reasons, which was compounded by inadequate monitoring and containment systems. Safe operation of the reactor was hindered by a deliberate and systematic cover-up of the flawed nature of the reactor design; the emergency response was similarly hindered by a deliberate and systematic cover-up of the scale of the disaster.

Comparing a modern nuclear power plant to Chernobyl is like comparing a 2019 Honda Civic with a 1961 Chevy Corvair. We've learned so many lessons and changed our safety culture so profoundly in in the intervening period. If we are allowed to keep developing and building nuclear reactors, we'll keep building safer and more efficient reactors.
Are you guaranteed that the data you read back didn't come from kernel caches of the file system blocks? How do you know the data actually came back from physical storage?
Edge support is perfectly fine, and it is going to be replaced by Chrome anyway.

Firefox, Safari and Chrome based browsers are perfectly fine.

Sure, the commands are difficult to digest. Where it gets truly awful, though, is trying to write a program that uses the openssl library.
When 0x was conceived, there were far fewer crytocurrency exchanges than there are today. It aimed to solve a real problem that still exists in some ways.

Since 0x is a blockchain project, it has moved at a snail's pace compared to the multitude of centralized and web-based "decentralized" exchanges that have sprung up since. These newer exchanges have largely solved the needs identified by 0x.
I pay for the full service plan (it is less for me since I am just 1 person), but I don't use any of the other services. Even with the fee, it is still a good deal.

The former chief weapons inspector, Scott Ritter, an American, voiced skepticism, but he was treated like a crazy person by the media.
Agreed. Saying "there is something" but not revealing what it is only keeps the consumers in the dark. The Chinese would go through their entire chain to make sure they hide their tracks again, etc, so it's not like opportunities like counter-surveillance will remain. It's literally stupid to say they can't reveal what it is because there's no benefit and only makes me think Homeland services are idiots.

It could provide a useful shared API for all the countries it covers. I also think there's a non-trivial certification process which would be onerous for a small startup.
I went to medical school. I'm now a resident physician in psychiatry, which is becoming more and more a kind of clinical neuroscience. And I still think my undergraduate neuroscience degree was a waste of time and money. Neuroscience isn't a skill. I would have been much better off with a math or computer science degree. I re-learned all the relevant neuroscience I needed in medical school and am learning more specialized knowledge on my own as it pertains to my career.

I'm not trying to make a subjective point that neuroscience was bad for me. I turned out ok in the end, I'm a physician now. I'm making the distinction between knowledge-based degrees (which are easily learned outside of paying for a degree) and skill-based degrees, which may include stage acting. You can't learn stage acting from a book, you can learn neuroscience facts from a book.

If I had a math degree, I could have still gone to medical school, and could still become a psychiatrist. But I would have also been able to appreciate Einstein's theory of relativity (as a recreational endeavor) or been able to contribute to the burgeoning field of computational psychiatry as a clinician-researcher.

Now consider an alternative path, I majored in mathematics, joined a quantitative hedge fund and realized I was losing my soul and wanted to do something more fulfilling. So I take my spoils and enroll in some stage acting classes, and eventually land a nice role at a local playhouse. Is my math degree useless? Perhaps not very useful to my stage acting career, but at least I can appreciate the beauty of Einstein's theory of relativity. Or go back to a quant hedge fund if acting doesn't work out. Or many, many other things, because I have a skill that is foundational to many other areas.
"Due process" is a legal standard that is present in US Constitutional amendments for a reason.

Now obviously Uber is a private company and is currently legally allowed to discriminate against customers with low ratings provided they are not discriminating along protected categories like race or gender.

BUT, ride-sharing apps tend to turn into natural monopolies or duopolies simply because of natural network effects, and effectively become part of a city's transportation system. I would argue that, with this, they should carry additional responsibilities to customers that a normal private company doesn't.

And one of them is that banning customers should involve "due process", e.g. standards for investigation, burden of proof, opportunity to contest, and resulting actions, e.g. a temporary suspension. A permanent ban should be reserved for only the most serious cases, e.g. where a customer has been convicted in a court of law for threatening violence and gone to prison. (And a temporary ban can be put in place while a court case in pending.)

A crowdsourced star rating is not due process. And with Uber and Lyft essentially part of public transport, this is a scary and deeply undemocratic path to go down.

In NYC it's illegal for a taxi not to pick someone up, because this can be the source of tremendous racial discrimination (and continues to be, despite its illegality). We don't want to let Uber do the same type of thing to another class of people.

> Search can be added as a well performing feature to your existing product quickly - Yes if you're using a CMS with search already there like Drupal

Adding a feature by using a product that already has that feature is not "adding a feature to a product". It's "doing nothing since there's nothing to do". ;-)

Using Google search for pages might work for simple sites that mostly host text content, but not for things like "find all foos that are between 20 and 30 kg".
Wrong.

Most wholesalers don't get charged entitlements by the stores. Damaged items are not entitlements, they're straight contractual issues and especially with foodstuffs, wholesale contracts may specify that up to a % of goods may arrive damaged and in unsaleable condition.

Marketing support is negotiated by brands seeking premium shelf space, or end-of-aisle placements or in-store marketing.

Liability is not an entitlement. Ever. It's something you work out between legal departments if you get sued under product liability laws.

My sources? My clients include about a dozen clothing retailers, 20ish restaurant chains, 3 big box stores, and a number of smaller grocery chains.

It's pretty clear you have zero understanding of retail business logistics and you should consider revising your comments to reflect that.

EDIT: After reading your other comments, it's pretty clear that you think that a manufacturer, i.e., Alpha Cola, sells to a Walmart shopper and pays Walmart for this opportunity. That's not how retail works. Walmart pays Alpha for a bunch of soda, and as part of this Alpha may negotiate an offset (what you've been calling an entitlement) for marketing support like in-store displays and premium shelf space alongside Code.

BUT BUT BUT in many situations, this is actually reversed: for example, for beer and convenience stores, the store agrees to give the beer premium space and in-store displays and may even agree to cover the costs. And in my example above, Coke usually wouldn't pay a store anything for marketing support--instead, the store would agree to provide unpaid marketing support to Coke for the privilege of carrying Coke's products. The store then uses Coke as a loss-leader to get people into the store.
Okay, so anything that is essential should be provided by the government. Food, housing, healthcare. Is there anything that should not be?

The question is not whether ProtonMail has access to user data. (They have, you are absolutely right.) They question is if they perform real-time surveillance, i.e., lawful surveillance (whether voluntarily or not).

As a Polish person who got a free CS degree in Poland, I want to add a counterpoint, namely, as usual, when people are given something for free, they don't appreciate it.

In Poland's case, there are stupendously large numbers of people studying various branches of humanities (literature, psychology, pedagogy, law) which have poor job prospects in our country. After graduating, a lot of these people just work service jobs or emigrate to Western Europe (to work the same crappy jobs there, but for more money). It's an enormous waste of taxpayer's money, which is happening because the the students are spending out of somebody else's pocket.

Meanwhile, the governing parties eviscerated the trade schools, because "we need educated people", "we're entering knowledge economy" etc. The result being, a median plumber making more than a median law graduate.
I don't know whether that's true or not, but either way it doesn't matter.

The AoA sensor does not function on the ground, it's basically a windvane and with no air moving over it, it would move to whatever angle gravity dictates.
You can watch the Arctic melt before your eyes[1] and we will very likely see an ice free Arctic for the first time in at least 100,000 years in our lifetime. Claiming that isn't happening isn't "skepticism" it is denying what you can easily verify with your own eyes.

But let me ask you a very important question that will easily settle where the dogma lies. What would convince you that climate change is happening? Because there is apple evidence all around us and yet you seem determined not to see it, so what would change you mind? If nothing then there's really no point having a discussion.

Remembering P2P
Law enforcement is general is not good at self-accountability. That accountability has to be rigorously enforced from the outside.

With algorithms, I think it can be done... but given how subtle the negative effects can be, the process must be stringent and err on the side of caution. In other words, any algorithm should be assumed to be biased until proven otherwise, and with a relatively high bar at that. There should be clear technical standards for what constitutes a valid proof. The testing process should be reproducible by third parties. And there should be a straightforward way to challenge either the process itself, or its results in any particular case.

In practice, given how low our bar for law enforcement accountability is today in other cases - including those where people die or are badly hurt - I'd say that we need to fix those issues first before talking about face recognition and its regulation in this context. And until then, it should be off-limits, because the potential for abuse is so high.
“The portion of the marginal cost curve above its intersection with the average variable cost curve is the supply curve for a firm operating in a perfectly competitive market (the portion of the MC curve below its intersection with the AVC curve is not part of the supply curve because a firm would not operate at a price below the shutdown point).”

After watching some videos of what Uber drivers have to put up with, as well as having a few friends that work in retail, some kind of "social metric" may not be the worst thing.

As a society, we put up with a lot of terrible behavior and people get away with it because they don't care about making a scene or situation that is uncomfortable for everyone else. We pay higher prices to deal with these people's behavior: constantly complaining until they get free stuff, abusing return policies, review blackmail, vandalizing state/national parks, cutting lines, etc.

You're right though that we need very strong guarantees around the sources and accuracy of such a metric.
I think he already has his answer- Apple doesn't guarantee search placement- though it is odd that he'd fall all the way off altogether.

I thought Craigslist had ads in addition to user-submitted postings, which is I wrote my comment the way I did.

Apparently Craigslist doesn't actually have "ads" in the usual sense: https://www.quora.com/How-does-Craigslist-make-money-if-it-d...

It seems the difficulty here is identifying what is considered an advertisement, beyond the obvious display ads which are not intrinsically a part of the content that they are embedded in. But fortunately display ads (and their brethren) are the most problematic, so I think we would get significant mileage just focusing on that.
Oh! It really should have [2017] in the title, then.

Interesting thoughts. Not sure what the developer could have done differently, here? The App is published on Apple's Platform, and it's impossible for him to distribute outside the store. He has been working on it for years, been a good citizen of the App Store, and created something people seem to genuinely love and value.

Honestly, this is one of the reasons I hope the legal system does eventually require Apple to enable opt-in, third party app stores. We need to have SOME release valve from being at the mercy of Apple's whims.
>My plea to the Rails community and Rails senior devs:

The problem is, I think, DHH doesn't really cares about it. He made it clear that Open Source shouldn't come with responsibility to make it great or fit your needs. It is more like a gift to the rest of the world with No Strings attached.

There is also the resources and company backing problem. Python is THE languages in Data Science, Node is javascript that is everywhere, and PHP, despite many people despise it, still runs the vast majority of the web.

With Github and Shopify now actively contributing to Rails, and Stripe working on Ruby, hopefully things will be better in the future.
