It would be interesting. So interesting you might find reading the article worthwhile.

> Although the company called the event an “act of God” that was unprecedented, the study said a similar event happened during Hurricane Camille in 1969. Eleven years later, a report commissioned by the Interior Department identified areas in the gulf that were susceptible to mudslides. Mississippi Canyon 20, the site of Taylor Energy’s platform, was one of those areas.

Your comments here purporting legitimate uncertainty about whether this is an externality Taylor Energy is responsible for read very much like unnecessary FUD. This is as clear a case you can get of privatized gains and publicized losses.
The IRR is also controlled by a few entities that would be vulnerable to government intervention, but that's the tool we currently rely on.

RPKI roots trust at the RIRs, and that is a vulnerability, but any government intervention would end that trust and end the use of the RIRs as trust anchors. It's pretty unlikely to ever be used that way.

Disclaimer: I co-authored some of the drafts for RPKI and helped implement RPKI systems at an RIR.

Currently it's still running my test code, which just lets him mess with volume/pan/pitch. I need to get around to writing something a bit fancier.

The NeoPixel rings are driven via the SPI output, and the rotary encoders/switches are just hooked up to random GPIOs.

That's a fantastic question, and a worthwhile research topic in itself! You're right in your concerns, and indeed there's been an extensive discussion in the literature about how valid browser-based experiments are for basic research in psych.

If you're interested, the authors of jsPsych have compared native experimental software to their JS-based one (https://dx.doi.org/10.3758/s13428-015-0567-2), and our lab has also done some comparisons (https://dx.doi.org/10.3758/s13428-015-0678-9). There's a fair amount of literature around this very topic now.

In a nutshell, while there's definitely some latency and jitter involved, it's usually far smaller than human response time variability, and averaging across many trials, as well as analysis that takes into account stimulus variability, helps massively to remove noise from the analysis. Also, in many cases, we're interested in difference between times across several experimental conditions/scenarios rather than an exact absolute measurements.

Thus, for many applications, browsers are usually accurate enough, and the ease of collecting more data outways the noise. In the end, the only way to deal with latencies properly is to measure and correct for them by calibrating the entire setup. That's what we've done for the new software we're building, which also takes into account render latencies and introduces some more tricks (see https://psyarxiv.com/fqr49)

Hope that helps, would love to chat about this in detail if you're interested!

Thoroughly agree, though don't forget White Christmas - the special was great too!

Netflix brought larger budgets, no impact any more and 15 minutes extra to explain points over, and over, and over. Like Nosedive. The extra 15 minutes was entirely devoted to "have interaction, rate it". Two or three explanations of this difficult concept would have been plenty. San Junipero was more Disney than Black Mirror.

Even the better Netflix episodes feel like they are pulling their punches.

> It's statements like this, which are completely absurd, which are hindering our progress of making meaningful change.

Only the degree of certainty of the statement is exaggerated. The content is well within any reasonable scenario-planning approach. Near-term catastrophe may not be the most likely outcome, but on all accounts it is likely enough to be the most genuinely alarming threat we've yet faced. You may not like the tone, but surely you can muster the courage to set aside your personal taste with regard to something so important?

Ever more algorithms and models and data, ever less understanding and scientific theories.

Soon, instead of "theory of gravity" we'll have "generative DNN of science papers and grant writing" that no one will understand, but can generate papers that pass peer review and earn grants and pull in all the monies, effectively monopolizing and halting all government funded scientific progress.

Meanwhile, actual science will continue on in the amateur ranks, from which has always come the true breakthroughs.
It's about time that rather than regulators saying "you can put up to 10 kilograms of this substance into the environment", they should say "you can put up to 10 kilograms, with a surface area of up to 10 meters squared".

Do you have any problems? Do you understand China's actual national conditions? There are very few mails in China, and we have lost and found centers, and we will wait for the owner to find them. This is our national condition. In the absence of understanding at all, you have taken very inappropriate measures. I doubt the authority of your magazine. Is the previous article so unfounded? Or is it purposeful for China alone?

Not that I care that much about the plant but automating it has been fun. It's been on auto pilot now for a couple of months now and the plant from the looks of it seams to be happy.

The article points to housing as one of the largest factors of raising a child, and mentions healthcare as well.

To my very limited understanding, we calculate inflation from some fixed [per comments below: not entirely fixed] index of consumer goods prices [per comments below: which include some notional aggregate of rent].

Is it possible that instead of saying "The cost of children, housing, healthcare, and education have risen sharply" we should instead be saying "Inflation has increased substantially more than previously calculated because the price of a loaf of bread has been fixed by subsidies"?
Thanks davismwfl. This very good information.

Can't say I approve. If it's non-working, why not restore it to original condition rather than adding a second-rate sensor after applying destructive modifications?
If you were truly paranoid about the Ken Thompson hack, and couldn't trust any hardware or software, you might choose to breadboard a primitive computer out of raw NAND gates.

If they're looking for cofounders, their product could be at any stage, including not-even-started. Raising may not even be on the map yet, or ever. Maybe you want to find a co-founder who wants to bootstrap exclusively.

Maybe you want to find someone who's a good culture fit with you, and do a small project together. If it goes well, keep going, if not, stop there. So it really is more like dating than marrying.

You could automate this even more with a Twilio number, ngrok running on the Pi and a small webserver to trigger the audio playback. Then instead of having to ssh in you can just send a text.

I concur. Programming Phoenix (I read the old version, 1.2 or 1.3, don't remember) and it is simply so well thought and helps you understand why Phoenix is not as magic as its appears in the start.

I also recommend you to try to play with Plug. Things make much more sense in Phoenix after you understand how Plug works.

I don't think this line really conveys the weight of the slogan. That slogan is applicable in so many fields and pretty much all the time. Even just in small social circles, not just politics, whether corporate or government.
I have a pi3 setup as a garage door opener. It's wired to two, 4 channel relays (only use two relays), one for each garage door. A simple php page that can be accessed and a big icon 'lressed', triggers the gpio to switch the relay. This opens or closes the door. I set this up because I got tired of replacing batteries in a garage door opener. This way,I just open the web page on my phone and open the door. I also setup a few android Tasker jobs to register when my phone connects to home wifi, and is also connected to my vehicle Bluetooth. When that registers, it automatically opens the garage door.
Also one perturbed configuration actually has multiple solutions.

It's also an issue that sometimes statistically insignificant adverse side effects can be successfully used to litigate against pharma companies.

For example as a teenager, I desperately needed accutane. Other solutions weren't working and some had actually more severe side effects than accutane; one tetracycline gave me heartburn so severe I basically couldn't eat anything, whereas the most accutane did was dry out my skin.

But because of studies that found a link to increased rates of depression/suicide among people taking accutane, it took years for me to work my way up to taking it, with very bad damage to my self esteem over that time. And if you look up the studies that promote this link, they are obviously not properly controlled, because they compare accutane users to the general population, and not to a subpopulation that has acne bad enough to need accutane. Which is dumb because lots of people (like me) who were taking accutane already had depression not because of the medicine, but in part due to very low self esteem and social ostracization due to the acne that was bad enough to warrant taking that drug.

So the symptom they were trying to prevent was something I already had, and withholding the drug because of concerns about that symptom contributed to making the symptom even worse for me.

One extremely useful resource is the Clojure Cheatsheet [1]. It organizes the standard library by all kinds of uses (data types, use cases, etc). It then links to the documentation of that function in Clojure.org, which often have examples of the function's use.

Likewise, each function page (if you scroll down) has a "See Also" which lists similar functions, which helps discover other functions in the standard lib.

Beyond the Standard Library, I find the Luminus Project [2] an excellent source of real-world code and documents for problems around web development. Further along these lines is the Clojure Cookbook [3] as well.

> "lightbulb moments" for a dev steeped in C-like languages?

I'm from C++, so I feel what you mean when moving from Imperative to Functional. I have two insights that helped me:

* Despite the huge type systems, languages like C have "Raw Memory" as the universal data structure. Think about pointer magic or the `union` type. Clojure does something similar; Despite the different data structures, the universal structure is `seq` which allows iteration over a data structure in the same way pointers iterate over any memory.

* Clojure's immutable data structures eliminate the Pass-By-Reference and Pass-By-Value dichotomy. As such, you aren't so much (with functions) altering memory as transforming data. It feels much more like math (especially Linear Algebra) where you are transforming data. Seeing my code as a series of transforms greatly helps my understanding of a piece of Clojure code.

if you're not confining yourself to c-like languages, i like ocaml a lot too for a combination of fast dev time and good performance. has some cross-platform issues and multicore support is still lacking. if you have some familiarity with rust you should already be used to a lot of the ideas present in ocaml.

also, if you are already familiar with c#, there's f# which is essentially a port of ocaml to .net. won't improve the performance of c# but might improve the dev time a bit.
You can have endless debates over what’s reasonable. However, there’s an easy way out: don’t even attempt to define it, and just make companies liable for their pollution. They will then do whatever hurricane-proofing is cost effective given that liability, which is also the most economically efficient amount.

Okay, but I'm a scientist and I do interact with climate scientists.

I specifically addressed your storage capacity comment. Be realistic, we just aren't there YET. We're close, but not there as of the writing of this comment. Energy is extremely complex. There is no easy solution like you're suggesting. Solar thermal won't work everywhere in the US. Wind doesn't work everywhere either.

I'm tired of people that counter nuanced comments by saying "you're so dumb. Here's a singular technology that'll solve all those problems. You're clearly not as smart as me." I'll give you a hint, no singular technology is ever going to solve all the energy problems. People live in vastly different climates. These different areas have very different constraints on them.

And in no way is my comment anywhere close to throwing up my arms and saying it's impossible. I'm saying it's difficult. Really REALLY difficult.

So yes, I do take offense. Everything you wrote is specifically addressed. For example I said we can't bet on batteries solving the problem, hence the hedge to nuclear (but also putting more funding into battery research). It's an all your eggs in one basket problem. You need to diversify. I don't know any energy or climate researcher that doesn't think you don't need to diversify. Or a single one that thinks we can solve the problem with current solar (including solar thermal), wind, hydro, and current battery technology. Not a single one.

I'm not saying we're doomed (come on, that's a really disengenuous statement and I expect better out of HN). But I am saying that this is a really difficult and complex problem that millions of man hours a year are being put into and we still haven't solved it. It isn't some conspiracy that's preventing it from being solved, it is the difficulty of the problem. Every day we get a little closer (and it is a converging solution) but it's naive to claim we have it solved, even in the theoretical sense.

So please, if you're going to call people naive doomsayers, please actually read the comments you are responding to, digest them, and do talk to the actual scientists.
