Yes, and that was (is?) the business plan of various solar companies where they put solar on your house for "free", you pay them for your power, and they price you at some going rate that pays their costs. This was made possible by legislation that allowed California to demonopolize public power. What we have learned however is that an undue burden falls on the company that owns the actual transmission lines and cables since those things need maintenance but not all of the power going through them are paying a margin to the person who is tasked with maintaining them.

If you force solar companies to both provide the panels and provide the wires to hook your house up the local substation and maintain those wires, well they can't do that at a competitive rate.

Well I mean they're not exactly on the Internet with an IP address and no firewall, are they? (Or they would have been compromised already.)

Whatever it is, it must be separated off as an "insecure enclave".

So that's why I'm wondering about this technique. You don't just miss out on security updates, you miss performance and architecture improvements, too, if you stop upgrading.

But can that be the path toward 100% uptime? Known bad and out of date configurations, carefully maintained in a brittle known state?
I don't think that's correct, they completely support standalone licenses, and you can use Dropbox for syncing across devices. I'm using 1password 6 on my Mac, and 1password 7 on windows, no problem, no subscription.
I was walking my dog down Santa Monica Blvd in West Hollywood when I was almost clipped by an idiot riding on the sidewalk while snap chatting. He was perfectly silent and was behind me, so I had no idea he was coming. He could've killed my dog and I would've been in prison for killing him immediately after. Since then I've come to hate scooters with a passion.

There's your problem. You have a limey expecting the state to finance his personal project.

An American entrepreneur interview would go like this, "I wasted a month on the US SBDC on my last project, then moved on to private funding."
Haven't checked your link, but I know several of the recurring studies for Seattle area ask "where was your last residence" or something. If you dig deeper, a lot of the "locals" are "local" because their last residence was the King County Jail.
The simple solution is to not do anything other than require e cigs to advertise the adverse effects of their product. As far as I can tell, they aren’t hurting anyone other than the people that use them. And as a society, I think junk food and carb heavy meals are a costlier disease.
I totally agree. I understand why they push subscriptions, and they offer decent value for the subscription, but they are going too far in hiding the standalone. The hard sell is probably a net loss for them.

I have been testing a rpi4 and comparing it to the rpi3. The Rpi4 is actually the first Pi that is usable as a desktop computer, but have seen thermal issues like you. Many the early reviews have only done short tests with the cover off. The thermal CPU throttling on the RPI4 is huge, while the RPI3 might slow things down 50-30%. The RPI4 will slow down to 100%. In the case I tested the RPI4 was running close the RPI3 speeds. I don't think a heatsink or CPU fan is needed there just not enough heat being generated to warrant the expense.I have had good luck with running the RPI with just the cover off, and some sort of air circulation in the room.

I have been trying to figure out the cheapest way to cool the RPI4, I am thinking a single slow 5V fan blowing across the card would be the best solution. This would also cool off the VLI, and take up less room on the card. I am just hoping someone will make the case, fan combination the works at a good price point. If things get too pricey then other SBC look very interesting.

I am really disappointed the thermal issues were not considered. A simple fan header like on UDOO boards, or an official case with space and air flow so a heat-sink could actually work would make me feel a lot better.
If their belief is that their work is makes the place hip then it would make sense to buy up a few cheap properties and benefit from the growth.
I sympathize with your general sentiment, but your Manhattan example is a glaring contradiction to your point that this has anything to do with public transit options, the lack of which I do not think has anything to do with the alienation you describe.

Of course! I'm sorry my original post made it seem like I was disagreeing with the vision you were advocating. I just had a problem with the means :)
Do bundles of nerves (such as a spinal cord) have cross-over attenuation, limiting their bandwidth like copper cables? This was one of the drivers in telecommunications towards adoption of fiber optics over copper cables. The 600+ pair copper telco cables could not sustain 600 separate DSL circuits, as the high frequency signals would interfere and cause attenuation. In many FTTH deployments, fiber was a cheaper transport than installing additional multiple pair copper cables to support the required customer demand. Of course, the enhanced bandwidth capability of fiber optics, together with the ability to have many more "circuits" over a a single fiber, were other drivers towards adoption of optical broadband. If there is not cross-over attenuation with bundles of nerves, is that only because of the mylar sheath? Obviously any significant interference might have an effect on the calculations of spinal cord bandwidth.

> Now that we understand the importance of add-on support for mobile (ratings plummeted during the incident), we might want to reconsider that strategy/priority for Fenix.

Well that's promising at least. The listed Next Steps is still full of uncertainty and there isn't a firm decision (presumably the people involved in this post-mortem are not the relevant decision makers), but at least somebody is bringing it up.

Given the Mozilla track history, though, I'm not optimistic.

Rec-league hockey requires an ice rink and time on it. Ice rink time is highly demanded and you may be getting it at 6:00AM or 11:00PM. You also need to coordinate teams at those times. And if you want any practice time-you may be getting that at 3:00AM in the morning (not joking).

And, for all of that, you get the joy of shelling out lots of money for the privilege of using the ice on the graveyard shift.
Automation will screw us all far before climate change does. We need to stop caring about GDP and focus on building a jobless society - one run by cheap renewables and widespread automation - that will allow all of us to have good, healthy, safe lives.

I mean, yeah, I exaggerated a bit. I completely understated how absolutely horrible it is in some places like Portland, with people completely lining the streets in some points in downtown. When I lived in Portland, Old Town Chinatown felt like an apocalyptic scene from Escape From New York. The east side isn’t so bad, but downtown, man, nobody would believe it unless they saw it themselves. I think the problem is worsened by other cities sending their troublesome people to Portland on buses.

Maybe the clue is here? Presumably the USA and China have areas the size of Costa Rica that are as rich in resources as it but those are averaged out by the rest of the land.
I wonder if it would be better to go distributed, pump water into a water tower from a well, or from a municipal source, and then generate electricity and release it back into municipal lines when solar power is not present.
Really good question. The difference is that you pay retail rates for power, but generation costs are better reflected by wholesale rates. The difference between the two is the cost of maintaining the grid. In the past, power utilities have amortised the cost of maintaining the grid into the cost of power, but realistically we need to start charging a lot more for grid connection and a lot less per kWh or the power grid's going to go into a death spiral.

Actually there is a reason, at least in NYC, why artists were the advanced guard of gentrification. There was a zoning ordinance passed that made it legal to use former industrial buildings as residences if the tenant was an artist. So, in order to transmute old industrial buildings into residences, developers needed artists in a transitional stage. I remember reading a journal article on urban history that had all the gory details, and that it was deliberately passed with the intent of gentrifying these artist districts or zones. After some quick Googling I think it was the rezoning in 1976 which is just in time to set up the gentrification and yuppie wave of the 80s.

I was 'cool' for a couple of years or so in Seattle in the late 80s and early 90s. Lived in the last frame house in Belltown, made art and had lots of artist friends, saw Nirvana and four other bands for $5 at Squid Row, have pictures of my out of town friends at Jimi Hendrix' original grave, ate cheap soup for lunch lots of days at Pike Place Market, and generally was so much cooler than the people I left behind in the Midwest that it was impossible to quantify.

I don't miss those days. In fact, it seems like a gigantic waste of time 30 years later. Glad I got out when I did.

It looks like garbage. It would still look like garbage if you resized it to some different size and used the appropriate level of JPEG compression to get a 26 kb image. JPEG just isn’t good enough to make this image workable for 1300x900 pixel output using only 26 kb.

> Gigabit Ethernet is most commonly actually physically transmitted at 1.25 gigabit/s because of 8b10b coding.

Fiber often uses 8b/10b. Over copper it's much more complicated.

USB 3.0 is an example of simple 8b/10b. 4Gbps data, sent at 5Gbps.

Ethernet over twisted pair, well...

10mbit Ethernet turns each bit into either a 01 or a 10 and sends those on the line.

100mbit Ethernet applies 4b5 encoding to get a 125MHz signal, then it uses this to drive an encoding called MLT-3. In MLT-3, the final output cycles through -1, 0, +1, 0 over and over, and each bit decides whether it advances or doesn't advance.

Gigabit Ethernet does a complicated encoding to turn batches of 8 bits into 4 separate voltages from -2 to +2 (so 5 levels). It then sends these simultaneously over all four wire pairs at a grand total of 125MHz.
Interesting Corollary of the Power Law in Venture Investing
I just realized an important corollary of the Power law in Venture Investing. Basically, think there are so many startups who hire people without ever finding a PMF. And I was thinking how are these startups able to justify their value in the economic world. Like every startup doesn't create enough economic value to hire employees, right. But they don't need to. They just need to convince some VC to raise money. They don't need revenues. They can possibly fail even. But then who loses, if the founders took salaries, employees took salaries, is it the investors? But then you realize, no. Even the investors are fine losing on 9/10 bets if 1/10 is a 10x return generating. Which means the companies which really generate economic value, they just don't create wealth for their employees and investors, but they also financially support so many failed ventures indirectly, hence spurting cycles and ripples of innovation and risk-taking in this world.
You should say most CV top paper are authored by people originated from China. If you ever went to CVPR this year you’d know what I’m saying, about 80% of oral paper have Chinese as co-author and the best paper’s first author is a young genius from China. There’s no way you can stop it

Same here. I adopted introverted patterns of life because I had no one to spend time with most of the time. Now I get anxiety when going to meet people. I still do it or try to and once I'm there, I enjoy it a lot. Of course, it has to be with the right people otherwise I'd rather just stay in. It's interesting how society shapes us into what we don't want to become.

From the article:
>if something goes wrong in a MSR and the temperature starts going up, a freeze plug can melt,

A MSR does not need any sort of valve to drain the fuel. ORNL-MSBR was designed to drain the core when pumps stopped working. The real advantage of freeze valve is that is uses no moving parts and maintanence free/friendly.

ORNL-4528: "The fuel salt pump and its sump, or pump tank, are below the reactor vessel, so that failure of the pump to develop the required head causes the salt to drain from the reactor vessel through the pump tank to the fuel salt drain tank."

The murals and commissioned graffiti around the city are very, very cool. The Dequindre cut alone is an outdoor art museum.

With that said, though, all the cool street art in the world isn't going to bring this city back. Investment and land development will though and that means higher rents. I hate to see what is going on in Eastern Market for instance.

What outsiders and visitors may not realize is how geographically big Detroit is. Boston, Manhattan, and San Francisco would all inside the city limits of Detroit, for instance. Detroit is safe in pockets. Downtown, midtown, cork-town, belle isle, Eastern Market, Hamtramck and a few blocks on the east side (and others) are all ok to go visit for the suburbanites. But you don't cross from one to the other without your car.

I have heard it said that Detroit isn't a city that was forgotten, Detroit is a city that just doesn't give a damn. Go 1 block outside of any of those pockets and you'll see what I mean.

My dream is those pockets touch, and we get a subway or some real mass transit and we'll feel like a whole city.

Here's what it's like to enjoy the city as a suburbanite. You get in your car, drive straight to your destination (probably downtown) go to your event, maybe hit a nearby bar or restaurant, then get back to your car before it's too late and drive out of Detroit back to the safe neighborhood you live in outside of the city limits.

It sucks. It has sucked for a long time and it's just now getting better. You can see it happening, downtown and midtown are basically contiguous now. We have 3 new sports stadiums and downtown is actually fun now.

I know it sucks that rent is going up, but that is a small side effect in my opinion. Riots in the 60s, systemic, chronic, oppressive corruption (including an ex mayor who is still in federal jail), the city declared bankruptcy a short 6 years ago and it wasn't that long ago you could literally golf the length of Detroit.

As an American, I find our emphasis on inflicting maximum pain rather than reform very disturbing. Among "civilized" nations, our criminal justice system is one of the most unforgiving and inhumane.
As Maciej --- who has probably spent more time studying this issue than perhaps anyone on HN --- has pointed out elsewhere, corporations are prohibited by law from donating directly to political campaigns, nor can they directly "match" donations to company PACs. Corporate PACs are separate funds managed by lobbyists working for the company, and funded exclusively through individual named contributions from employees. You don't need Maciej to tell you this: authoritative confirmation will be at the top of a simple Google search.

Companies have offered to "match" donations to their PACs by making contributions to charities, shifting employee discretionary donations to the company's PAC while offering the same net desired effect on the employee's preferred charity. But that obviously doesn't explain the phenomenon you're describing: the PAC itself still is and must remain employee-funded.

This seems pretty basic, leading me to wonder why it was you felt it would be reasonable to sum Maciej's analysis up as "BS".

> But only a few, since Inform has no dependencies on third-party code. You need a modern C compiler, ideally clang, but gcc will do; and you need basic Unix tools. But that's all.

> Core Inform is written in ANSI C, properly speaking C99. That was the first decision I took, in 2001, and it was the wrong choice.

> Literate programming was invented by Donald Knuth in the 1970s: he was responsible for the slightly insulting name, as if all other programmers are illiterate. The idea is to write a program like an essay, with a narrative, so that its source code can be read by humans as well as computers. This is not just about commentary: it's about making long or complex functions more comprehensible.

> Literate programming is not a popular choice today. The canonical primers on software are respectful but basically tell you not to use it: "Code Complete", for example, or "The Art of Unix Programming". It failed to catch on for several reasons: most programmers do not like to write essays. Most code has a short shelf life anyway. Commentary in code is out of fashion these days, and some coders even consider it harmful.
