Thanks. I tried it but it did not quite do what I needed so I uninstalled it. (I'm afraid of plugins in general taking performace away). It worked on JS-files but I have HTML-documents containing (example) JavaScript etc. code. Seems it did not react to parenthesis in them. Also even in plain JS-files you may have strings containing parenthesis.

Standard WebStorm already highlights matching parenthesis in JavaScript and does a good job at that.

I wonder what the wider economic effect will be if the price of solar continues to improve and the fossil fuel industry can't find a way to remain competitive. Since some places are far more suitable for solar power generation than others, will those areas end up with a significant advantage in the cost of living? Could that in turn lead to a major migration of people and economic activity to those areas?

For systems that only run for a few hours per day (4-6), battery systems are cheaper to build, faster to build, and far easier to site. There are only a few critical hours of peak demand in California, in the late afternoon/early evening.

For example, look at the demand graph here for yesterday (11 July 2019):

http://www.caiso.com/TodaysOutlook/Pages/default.aspx

Demand goes above 35 gigawatts at 3:30 in the afternoon and is back below that level by 7:00 PM, 3.5 hours later.

Battery systems are useful for shaving off that daily peak. They reduce the need to activate more expensive and more polluting open cycle gas turbines that have typically been used as peakers. It will be a few years more yet before solar plus storage systems can make a significant dent in the use of more efficient combined cycle gas turbine generation.

I’ve said this before a few times and will say it again. AgileBits runs like a shady business that has used (and continues to use) dark patterns to push people to do things that they may not want to. Choosing 1Password removes choices over time.

It doesn’t matter if the app is great or what features it provides. The company is blatantly customer hostile, and its support staff probably echo top management’s words without much help for users.

I recently migrated to Bitwarden. It checks the boxes I need, including sharing specific information with someone in the free tier (though this is restricted to one person). The cheap paid tiers offer a lot more, and will not hurt your wallet like 1Password does.

You can also self-host Bitwarden server yourself, and there are ports available on different languages and stacks online if the base stack is not your preference.

I also can’t wait for Firefox Lockwise to become an equivalent competitor soon enough.

The days of commercial password managers with expensive subscriptions and poor support seem to be fading away. That’s good for everyone.

At a previous employer, I went through the "Emergency Responder" training, which meant that I also kept a reflective orange vest at my desk, with an appropriate label on the back.

We had fire drills where the list of people who knew about the drill-to-come was intentionally kept to a tiny handful of people, usually just one person per floor. When the alarm went off, it was up to us to go into Fire Marshal mode and direct people to leave through the stairs, stay to the right because the fire department personnel will be coming up the inside, etc....

That process was actually surprisingly effective. I was a good choice because I can be a very loud person, when I want. I have maxxed out my SPL meter at 127dBA, and I've checked into what it would take to make an official go at getting the worlds record for "loudest person".

Yes. You need a mountain lake and a low level lake close to each other, and the lakes aren't useful for much else because the water level goes way up and down every day. The US has 10 pumped storage plants bigger than a gigawatt, and few attractive sites for more.
Great and all, but I'll never purchase an EV if I can help it. They are garbage, in my opinion. They feel like cheap toys, like go karts. I've driven and ridden in Teslas and, aside from the acceleration, there's nothing special about it. Besides, as a motorcycle rider, even the Tesla Model 3 0-60 isn't anything magical. It's...mundane to riders (who aren't on Harleys). The P100D ludicrous mode, however, is objectively insane.

Call me a luddite, but I want to shift gears. I want an I6 or V8 ICE that puts out gratuitous amounts of power and, yes, NOISE. I want sharp steering feedback and beefy front rotors and stiff, aggressive suspension. I don't want a damn Chevy Bolt, I want a real freaking sports car with all the money poured into the performance, and none into comfort.

There are tons of buyers like me, too. SoCal has a huuuge car culture of guys who buy old toyotas, porsches old and new, Rx7s, miatas, BRZs and WRK STIs, old Lancer Evos. Tons of us LIKE driving. Tons of us LIKE offensively loud engines. Tons of us LIKE manually shifting. What about us? What happens when other people finally surrender their autonomy to shitty self-driving EVs?

What Ford should really do is build a mid/rear engined mustang-based sport coupe. Enough of the autonomous vehicle nonsense. It's over a decade away anyway. Let the people who like driving, drive!
A couple of notes:

* You need WebRTC to be enabled in your browser for this to work, this is simply owing to how Snowflake works. The extension will display a warning if it detects that WebRTC isn't enabled.

* The addon tells you when a client is connecting using your proxy and how many clients you have helped circumvent censorship in the last 24h. However, right now Snowflake is only available for the alpha releases of the Tor Browser and then only for Linux and Mac OS, as such (see https://metrics.torproject.org/userstats-bridge-transport.ht... ), so it shouldn't be surprising for you to pass an entire 24h without having any reported client connection.

But I'm kind of a subject matter expert here. This is not an excuse. This is reality.

> In March, an analysis of more than 7000 global storage projects by Bloomberg New Energy Finance reported that the cost of utility-scale lithium-ion batteries had fallen by 76% since 2012, and by 35% in just the past 18 months, to $187 per MWh.

I hate it when they list battery prices this way, it's very misleading. That's the amortized cost of $187 per MWh cycle, not the battery's upfront cost. Assuming 2000 cycles that's $374,000 per MWh of storage.
The answer is probably no to both
Moi,
Having a Windows port is on the roadmap. The base framework and UI has been compiled, the main roadblock is a boatload of Apple Metal compute code (for GPU).
But there is also OpenCL (available in the Preferences) already so that might help (never tried OpenCL on Windows), or just going DirectCompute, but that is a much bigger effort. NVidia CUDA support could also be a way to go, but that limits GPU support to NVidia only.

As for Linux, well lets keep an open mind.

But let your Mac co-workers try VectorStyler out, and let me know how it works for them.
Nuclear isn't renewable precisely, but the amount of fuel available is extremely large and not being decreased by any appreciable amount.

Waste storage can be handled quite easily by reprocessing fuel, the waste is very small in comparison to other types of energy. There's little to no relationship to arms proliferation, that's only a very specific type of reactor and fuel that's not in general use for nuclear power.

And finally there's a lot of water on the planet. Cooling isn't a difficult problem.

The bigger problem is that reactor research has essentially been stopped due to nimby problems, so we don't even know how much better we could make nuclear power.

I don't think anyone complains about the format of PGP encrypted files or signatures. The protocol itself is just fine. All the exploits are in the key distribution or presentation layer.

e-fail is good example of a presentation failure. It has very little to do with PGP or GPG itself, but instead failures to adequately separate the output.

You have a few choices for key distribution.

1. A walled garden like keybase.
2. A distributed trust model like the web of trust.
3. A bunch of web servers with no proof the key has not been tampered with.

All of them have benefits and flaws.
Part of a subsequent deal (or related deal, don't remember the details) involved trading him to the Orioles, who became responsible for a portion of his salary, which they then deferred. It's part of the same original contract though, IIRC.

Reading the Reddit discussion on this was genuinely hilarious.

Many people seemed to be under the assumption, due to the headlines constantly blasting "JPMorgan", that somehow high up officials of JP Morgan were the ones responsible for the organization, importation and offloading of the drugs and that somehow JPMorgan would be profiting from this illicit shipment.

Some people pointed out the fact that although this ship is under JPMorgan's Asset Division, it is operated by Mediterranean Shipping Co. This was duly ignored with statements such as "As if JPMorgan doesn't know what is on their own ship". Which neglects the fact that JPMorgan handles trillions in assets and it is unreasonable to expect them to check shipping manifestos for ships operated by another company, for every ship they have invested in. In fact, I am unsure if JPMorgan would even be allowed to get those documents. Nor would a savvy drug trafficker list their cocaine on a shipment manifest.

Even this article seems to repeat JPMorgan numerous times. I'm no fan of big banks either, but let's at least try to be realistic.

One of my favorite comments succinctly put it this way:

> The surprising thing for me is Germany having 2. Seems unlikely.

Germany is big. I've heard that the proficiency in foreign languages tends to decrease as your country gets bigger. Because the bigger the country, the less likely you are to interact with foreign languages. Bigger countries also tend to have foreign works translated (or dubbed) into their own language more often.

So, no, I'm not surprised.

You would buy health insurance for the same reason anyone buys any kind of insurance (above legal minimums).

Suppose a thousand people have a 1% chance of owing $10,000. Their EV is -$100.

If a company offers insurance for $120, the company benefits by making $20 * 1000 and the individuals benefit by removing variance from their life.

Does it at least use a TVM calculation? If so it's indeed quite misleading, considering that at max 1 cycle per day (e.g. solar) that's 6 years to spread the cost across.

Finally, some sober response from the market. there is just no way these can make money at the rate they get destroyed.

Im an auto mechanic by trade, and realized these things were a terrible idea when we started having to remove them from cars and trucks. Running over one of these things is somewhere between hitting a land mine and a bicycle rack. Ive personally had to cut at least 30 of them from various drive shafts, wheel wells, and suspension arms. I have a Mercedes van customer looking at nearly six thousand in damage to everything from the radiator all the way back to the driveshaft knuckle after hitting two of these at highway speed as they fell out of the back of a pickup truck.

The real joke is they are looking to file an insurance claim against Bird, as their attorney believes state vehicle law covers the scooters as a motor vehicle similar to a motorcycle.
I work for a gambling company and the bet-pool/wager-resolution process happens with another company category called a 'tote'. For 49 of the US states we work with one particular company because we've identified them as being overall more competent and accurate. For the remaining state, regulations require that we work with a company with a 'local presence' in the state. There's only one company that fits that boundary, and they are somewhat awful to deal with. Not only do they constantly have problems, but they're not very responsive with business interactions. A good portion of our application infrastructure is dedicated to just handling the special case for this one state.

The state thinks it's doing good by forcing a monopoly for this one company with 'local presence', but the hilarious thing is that the company is HQ in Europe somewhere, and our preferred partner is actually US based.
>why would you buy insurance?

Insurance is just there to offset risk, the risk being more (or massively more) medical bills than what you would pay if you paid out of pocket.

If your insurance company gets a lower or higher rate, really doesn't matter to you directly.
pretty clickbaity outrage in the article. It's user's data but Strava isn't obligated to serve an API to anyone. We already learned from the early FB era, the insane data privacy implications of having liberal APIs for personal data. Also if it wasn't completely obvious to Relive its not wise to build a product or business off of someone else's uncompensated API, especially when the entity you're piggybacking on depends on user engagement for its revenue.

Tesla selling well doesn't negate his point at all. Sure some people are buying EVs, but most are buying ICE. Part of it is lack of supply, but that doesn't mean increases in supply would mean more sales. It is possible the market is saturated with just the EVs for sale now.

You can refute that claim in many ways, but none of them refer to current sales.

There should be also more focus on proper thermal insulation of houses in warm climate, which is something that is not often mentioned. Lots of energy gets lost on AC simply because heat easily enters the houses.

Constructivist mathematics does not depend on the axiom of choice.

That said, when you only admit a universe of mathematical objects that admit of a finite construction, it is not unreasonable that you can have a computer program that, at least in principle, will enumerate all possible constructions and proofs of statements about them. Given that, you can create a construction which is literally for each set Y, the primary x in Y is the first x which in that enumeration a statement of the form "x is in Y" is proved.

This construction give a choice function of the kind that the Axiom of Choice says exists. However that said, the bizarre consequences of the Axiom of Choice that you find in classical set theory can't be proven for other reasons.
