Problem with most popular games is that they are not made by hardcore gamers but by cashgrabbing businessmen and huge companies (you can find out more here https://bit.ly/2ILPdHw). Most indie games, if not 99 percent of them die being unseen. For example fortnite, althrough popular and addictive, it can only addict people new to such mechanisms (to games similar to fortnite) or 8 year old kids who never played. But does it make money? Oh boy.
Scale brings efficiencies, and this is especially evident in power generation. A basic solar roof installation delivers far more power with more reliability. Also everything has trade-offs and the massively increased costs, manufacturing effort and maintenance requirements are certainly not worth it compared to current electric vehicles.

Are you really going to pay $200k for this vehicle with low performance and amenities, high repair costs, and no guarantee that it can ever really power itself - only for the potential to save a few hundred in electricity costs?
Pop a screenreader on for yourself and see - I just tried and it read the "empty" ember-div div and then stopped. If I have my eyes closed, I have no way of knowing content rendered 20 seconds after it finished (when the text content finally loaded).
This has arguably already been appearing on the graphics side with stacked memory, but now Intel is getting serious about this approach: https://www.theverge.com/2019/1/7/18173001/intel-lakefield-f...

A big problem is heat. But stacked designs produce less heat overall, just in a smaller area. That can actually make heat dissipation more centralized and more efficient (due to higher thermal gradient) so I think it's a solvable problem.
>Did you read the article? It says 230MB for starters, you're clearly trying to paint it negatively. And the first thing it says after that is "still not ideal". Looking around at other native apps and at rest they are consuming between 150-200MB.

You're not making it any better...
Closest I can think of is "Si vis pacem, para bellum" ;)

Or the Roosevelt quote.

Anyway, killing traders or customers is a good way to get out of business. (Only if there's enough "suckers" or your product is irreplaceable can you ever consider it. Such as with certain drugs.)
No, you must not. The energy required for the car to drive 12kms is 996 Wh. let's round to 1kWh.

Solar is DC. for instance Tesla powerwall is 97% efficiency for DC/DC conversion for charging its battery. So you need basically 1kW of solar to produce the needed energy to drive 12km (per hour). I think you are off by at least a factor of 3.

edit: at 20% solar efficiency that would require 5m^2.
Microsoft Teams, Skype, VS Code, Internet Explorer, System Center. Not sure you could argue these are non-business applications, and none of them seem very consistent to me.
> Judge Stephens was bound by West Virginia law to weigh secrecy against transparency and provide in the court record his reasoning. Like many judges in his position, he did neither. "This case was sealed because both sides agreed and asked me to seal it," he told Reuters.

As a practical matter, this is why it happens: the court system is inherently adversarial. If the two sides agree that something should happen in their case, the judge is likely to rubber-stamp it. Judges don't want to waste time litigating something that isn't actually disputed.
There's no claim that the cells are operating at 26% efficiency; they just claim that, in aggregate, the system is 20% more efficient than traditional systems. There is an important distinction there.
If you want to see actual solar cars, you're looking at something like this:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/toronto-engineering-s...

Car is extremely light (you can pick it up), spindly, aerodynamic, has none of the roadworthy safety features, uses all energy for driving (no AC, headlights, etc.). These compete in the World Solar Challenge and manage a good speed (50 mph) over long distances powered by the sun. This is a good example of what is possible.

There is no way that a "traditional" car, carrying five, spare tire, safety features, headlights, bluetooth, cup holders, with apparently less solar surface area, is going to manage any sort of respectable distance or velocity powered by the sun alone.
I have it enabled and the only thing that loads is a fluff quote and nothing else.
But then their rates wouldn't be competitive and people would switch insurance.
> Libra is essentially an ETF

But what they invest in will be interesting: what happens when the next financial crisis comes ? When the dollar plunges ?
I definitely thought about my comment a lot, since I am in a technical role. I recognize it's arrogant, but let me provide some insights.

We are currently facing threats from "online only" banks, where you can sign up and use a bank account without ever talking to a person or stepping foot in a building. This is a threat because banks make their money on transactions and if everyone goes to the cool smartphone app bank, what will our bank have left?

We'll be left cashing cheques for blue collar workers. We'll be left doing phone support for geriatrics. We'll be left giving loans to refugees. We'll be left with safety deposit boxes. We'll be left with all of the unprofitable parts of the banking market that the online only banks say NO to.

And that's where that 80% of our staff comes from. Branches and call centers to manage the small, unprofitable sector of the consumer banking market. To my point, our bank has a long running project to shut down branches across the country. We realized that profitable customers only come to the bank to sign papers, and unprofitable ones come to harass the bank staff.

There are staff needed for good governance and to manage regulations, but those staff do not make up the bulk of our labour.
Fuzzing Your D Application with LDC and AFL
> like disabling selecting text when you shouldn't be able to

This is the worst thing in computers. Why would you EVER _block_ the ability to select text? I am engaged enough to want to select something you made! Embrace that, don't stop it!
> although why it would be placebo at 8 weeks but deemed not a placebo at 12 weeks I struggle to understand

Because the placebo effect fades over time. The doctor has concluded that you'd be safely clear of it at 12 weeks.
I'm not so sure about that. For one thing, unless they've changed a lot more than I think they have since the last time I got to fool with one myself, the sensors have very limited range. Take a look at the screens displaying "what the car sees" in this self-promotion video from Waymo:

https://youtu.be/B8R148hFxPw?t=148

What the car is in essence doing is driving by GPS and maps while staring at its feet. It is not as bad as driving with your eyes closed, but it's not that much better.

Further, some of the infrastructure it is relying on, like lane markings, are very poorly maintained.
> Now for the first time in history there is a form of money that you can prove in a matter of seconds that your money didn't move when you gave custody to the bank.

Why do you believe this has any relevance at all? People want to buy stuff, not exchange bill with serial number #abcxyz with stuff.

And from my example you can easily understand why your assertion is quite wrong to begin with.
Looking up the prices literally doesn't mean anything. This entire exercise is pointless because it is impossible to tell whether or not you will be charged the in-network fees or price gouged by out of network doctors.

You do some price shopping around and find a hospital that's cheap. It says the hospital is in network, and you go. While you're receiving treatment the hospital has another doctor treat you who happens to be out of network and now all of your shopping is rendered useless as you get slapped with a huge bill.

This is one of many reasons why shopping for healthcare treatment is ultimately useless. What do you do if you go to the hospital and get slapped with treatment that you need, but couldn't shop for until you arrive? What if it's especially critical treatment?

You simply cannot shop around for most medical issues like you can other things because information asymmetry is too high. And putting off a medical issue to do this shopping is frankly horrifying because you have zero clue if the issue you have is critical or not!

If you're experiencing the symptoms of a stroke for example this is an entirely time critical medical emergency. Any second spent not getting treatment reduces your chances of a fuller recovery.
My last employer identified a developer's workweek at 8 hours. The assumption was the other 32 would be consumed by meetings, email, and other crap.
I had converged on a similar workflow. Mostly due to the fact that my handwriting is terrible and I couldn't even read my own writing sometimes. So I used to rewrite them quite often to make them more clear. The fact of rewriting served as a spaced repetition and re-summarization which helped me remember concepts better.

When I was in college laptops were becoming popular and after trying to takes notes on them I found I didn't remember things as well, was getting distracted by chat and emails, and simply couldn't draw quick diagrams (and I usually do a lot of diagrams).
If you have a multi-billion valuation while doing it, and millions of users, you could not care less...
What part of your role as a data scientist do you love and hate the most?
This is the argument I have posed toward most closed systems, heck, even open.

For instance, our tax system.

The only real way you would ever have a true legit overhaul would be to burn the entire thing down. Now, while I'm not even remotely suggesting that, it seems the only feasible way to start from scratch.

I just don't see any incremental adjustments working that would not be thwarted in someway.

Now that I've typed this out and read it, a big part of the problem has got to be lobbyist. Get that out of our politics 100% and we might be able to see some progress.
I disagree, you're trying to use "freshman Philosophy 101" logic but most real-world ethical frameworks absolutely distinguish between actors and others, particularly when it comes to morality, i.e., avoiding suffering.

The "tremendous weight of bureaucracy and regulations" is a Gordian knot that every other developed country managed to cut by simply regulating the insulin market.
Gonna suck for those people who don't own cars and are relying on the fleets of privately-owned pseudo-taxis.
you don't get points for being a pedant.
> The corporations have gamed the system where it's now normal to suggest that you are responsible for determining and getting discounts

It's not really that difficult. You just buy insurance or get on Medicare/Medicaid and you get the discounts. That's not to say that the system hasn't been grossly perverted. Just that the hoops aren't difficult to jump through for pretty much everyone.
Part of the point is that it's not something you're overcoming. If you're worried about it, but you do it anyway, you still have the ability to go about your life.

When my anxiety was super bad (before therapy and medication), there were weeks when I was too anxious to go to the grocery store and started skipping dinner because there wasn't any food in the house. I hadn't seen a dentist in 8 years because my phone anxiety was too high to make an appointment - and my social anxiety was terrified that they'd be mean to me about my teeth.

I'm doing much better now, but there are still some times that my anxiety acts as a total blocker to something I have to (or sincerely want to) do.
Isn't this exactly how business loans have worked for a few hundred years?

I have a successful business, but it's at risk from competition if I don't build a new factory/buy some new equipment/produce promotional videos.

These are my current revenues (I might be able to pay you back) and these are my projections (I believe I will continue to be able to pay you back).
I get what you're saying but I'm referring to this comment: "what's your mrr?"

Not only does it not provide any meaningful insight, it attempts to shut down the discussion of anyone who doesn't have Monthly Recurring Revenue. As if that's a qualifier to providing feedback.
The very meaning of an exponential function is that any point t plus a fixed delta t the value is higher than the value at t by a constant factor. If that factor is getting lower over time it is not exponential anymore, even when it stays above 1. Otherwise you could argue that a quadratic function is exponential as well.
How I Got my $3500 Camera Kit Stolen on KitSplit
Once you start a complex procedure, many different things can happen, some very costly to respond to. So how does an organization price for that? Do you price in every emergency contingency? Do you shop for one regular heart bypass with or without emergency resuscitation in case of heart stoppage, or extra drugs needed to be pushed in for any of a number of different outcomes. Is there a fine for not adhering to the advertised price - does that create an incentive to avoid some measures independently of what would be good treatment?
This guy has upper management written all over him.
Just recently I got a desk which can be lifted and lowered. About one hour a day, I would lift the desk up, and have a standing desk. I also move around, especially when I have phone conferences. I even pace around the room. Although it is a small, I am able to detect a small change in my health and energy.
On the flip side it is worth pointing out that 83 w/km (133.6 w/mi) is a little over half the power that most of the best selling EVs like the Model 3 or Bolt use. That rate would probably make it the most efficient non-ultra compact EV on the market. So the panels aren't the only place they expect to make large gains on efficiency.
I'd definitely make the main blog content display without JS... I don't think I'd do that for comments, in fact, been thinking of making something that only supports browsers with web crypto to do a pbkdf2 challenge in order to submit a comment. From there, would add a few more other pieces to sign said submission including the challenge. Although it would eliminate old browsers (and non-chrome edge), it would probably still be better than most captcha solutions.
I use the samsung evo plus cards all the time and knock wood haven't had any issues.

Iranian scientists are not alone. Many Chinese-born scientists are targeted as well. Scientific research has been politicized to another level lately.

1%. Of all people.

Except... maybe your content is targeting exactly the kind of people to wander around the internet with Javascript disabled, and then they're suddenly a much larger slice of your potential audience. Writing articles on engineering, I imagine, already increases that slice. Anything related to security, I imagine another increase. People that participate in Indie Hacking Projects.... another big slice.

Anyway, why not just make it a part of that big ol blob of meta tags we all copy over to every index.html we write anyway? Including the magical bit of viewport meta to make pages look good on mobile?
> According to NPR today, something like 75% of in-patient and 90% of out-patient events are shoppable.

What are these numbers based on? I recently needed to have some blood tests done (cholesterol and A1C) and blood tests aren't covered by my NYS marketplace purchased health plan. So, I called multiple labs in my area and I couldn't get a single one of them to give me a number. They couldn't even give me a ballpark. I couldn't even get anybody at any of my local hospitals or doctor's offices to give me a base cost of an appointment with an allergist to look at a rash.
It is out of patent, the government could manufacture it. These manufacturers are cutting deals with generic manufacturers to delay the introduction of generic drugs to the market in order to maintain a monopoly.

It also cheaper to put people on prep than to pay for their HIV treatment. Who is paying for all the HIV treatment to opiate addicts? Medicaid is which is the government.
Optimal Solution Predictions for Mixed Integer Programs
Good question.

I'm really benchmarking the system against itself, year on year, by comparing the weather outside vs. performance (output temperature of the HVAC unit, average temperature inside the house).

I'm not trying to find an objective efficiency rating so much as monitor performance over time to see if it's changing.
I can't help but think you might be able to sue the hospital for following unsanitary procedures in the NICU? Have you talked to a lawyer?
Have you ever needed opioid pain killers to deal with either an acute or chronic pain condition?
There is no opportunity cost deduction. Unless the doctor can show that he is losing money (amortized cost of office/staff overhead etc) on that $100 service, there is no deduction. They can't arbitrarily say they sell their services for a certain amount and deduct when they don't reach that amount.

If you have a widget that cost $50 to make/market/sell and you sell it for $100, then have a "sale" or "friends and family" discount to $60, you don't get to write $40 off your taxes. If you sold it for $40 you could write the $10 loss off of your taxes.
I had the same problem trying to access the site with Lynx.
I did this yesterday, I called and expressed strong concern over Verizon's incident response and BGP security in general.
I said I would not longer even want to be a FiOS customer, let alone business customer if I know that Verizon doesn't do basic prefix filtering on their BGP peers/customers.

I was careful not to berate/blame the T1 support people who have no clue what BGP is or even that an incident happened, but I tried to express the severity of the issue well enough that they would escalate a serious complaint to the network infra team.
In general you are not penalized for mistakes but for failing to provide the standard of reasonable care. There are various penalties for failing to provide this level of care, including revocation of your license or exposure to malpractice suits (for which you would carry insurance). In the US this varies from state to state so you would want to talk to an expert in your state if you want details.
This is awesome! Thank you! And thank you for the flattering reference to my own thought experiment there.
The last published test result is a few years old, but it seemed to work with minor issues: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iI...
Sounds like you actually need a security guard instead of a receptionist. Or maybe the receptionist is the guard.
I think you are conflating authentic expression with expression that you like.

At the end of the day the last thing we need is more ways to track and punish thought.
Yeah the issue is that therapy is very expensive compared to medication and mental health is so common it's hard for insurance to pay for it without raising rates even higher. I currently spend ~$800 a month on my wife's therapy. It's basically impossible to get insurance to pay for and the condition has a very high mortality rate(for a mental health condition) and has no drug options for treatment.
It is legal and commonly prescribed, but that doesn't mean it is effective. Anecdotes say it is, and the enjoyment of being high is worth it to some but no doctor should prescribe it until the alternatives we know work have been tried and found to not work. Proper medical treatments goes through many rounds of studies to prove that it works and is safe (which is unlikely in this case: smoke causes cancer in general).

If someone were to do a proper study (I'm not aware of any, but many countries don't have the US ban so I'd be shocked if none have been done) I'd change my position. For now it is a last resort though.

This gets mentioned in every healthcare thread. With transparent pricing we'll soon know which hospital costs 3x of the other, so we (or beforehand or family) can decide which one to go to for treatment.
i'd suppose i fall into the category of not knowing any better. i use earbuds when on public transport, and i am exactly suffering from that problem that the trains are to loud and i need to raise the volume to compensate. (i listen to audio books and audio drama where every word counts. if i were to listen to music it would matter less if i miss a beat here or there)

i chose those earbuds for 3 reasons:

i can't stand having something stuck in my ears (makes me gag)

huge headphones that cover the ears look out of place, and i'd have to take them off if i actually do want to talk to someone. they also signal very much a "do not bother me" and "i don't care about my surroundings" message that i fear can come off as rude.

my kids play with the rubbers and pull them off because it's interesting. (they are explorers, that's their job)

at least this article makes me reconsider alternative options.
I think you need to read up on the era before central banking, and bank notes. It was chaos.

>I don't believe it offers most of those services

Incorrect.

>overdrafts in the UK are being restricted so be much less profitable

Incorrect, the fees are being regulated to ensure they're reasonable and customers are not being taken advantage of. There is still room to make a profit (and as the article says, they are per customer).

>I believe one of its sell points is no commission on foreign currency

I mentioned commission in relation to the marketplace concept, I am unsure why you are discussing foreign currency, it's irrelevant to the point I made.

>So are they planning on launching (their own) savings, or insurance?

They already offer savings accounts via multiple partner organisations. Unsure why you have such a fixation on bringing this entirely in house -- the bank still profits from customers using these partnered services.

Since the beginning the company has been pretty transparent and clear in that the idea is to build the best current account and make use of other providers as appropriate.
