On the contrary. California's current energy usage goes from ~16GW to 32GWs each and every day.

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

Currently, electricity is generated by "peaker plants", which spin up when the price of electricity goes up, and then spin down when the price of electricity is low. Consumers are often passed the buck: peaker-plant electricity (usually natural gas) costs more than baseload electricity (usually nuclear or coal)

Utility-scale batteries are competing against the Natural Gas peaker plants. The question is if utility scale batteries can make as much money (ie: provide the power at low enough costs) to be worthwhile.
Which developed nations are you referring to exactly? Australia, Brazil, Canada, the entire EU, Israel, New Zealand, Singapore and the US all have accredited investor rules. The US is among the least strict. [0] It seems like Switzerland has a similar model [1, 2]:

(1) According to Art. 10 Para. 3 of the Swiss Federal Collective Investment Schemes Act (CISA), qualified investors are considered:

(e) High net worth individuals

(3) A high net worth individual is someone who can confirm in writing that they directly or indirectly have net financial investments of at least 2 million Swiss francs.

Either way, you've again side-stepped every salient point. It's fine to have a philosophical disagreement but we should be able to discuss the facts at hand. Philosophically I don't think the government should be able to tell people what they can and can't dump into the rivers because it's in their interests only to drop safe stuff in there. Reality, however, indicates that in fact that's an awful idea and we shouldn't let them.

Sadly, facts get in the way of philosophy. That's why we have regulations.

Either way you fall prey to the classic libertarian fallacy, that an individual doesn't affect the society around them in any way. Yeah you go broke investing in the South Seas 2.0 company, or BTC at $19K. Cool. You own and sell property at a loss, now you affect your neighbors property values. Now you're on welfare, and on medicaid, and now all of society has to pay for your poor investing decisions. The law is how society mitigates this risk.

> I'm stuck running an old version of Firefox because I have too much data in Tab Groups

Yikes! You're running a years-old version of Firefox without security updates? And you're browsing public websites?

I think there are some supported add-ons for tab groups that work with current Firefox. Please, please don't run an insecure browser on the public internet.
>The public markets are generally very unforgiving. This is why so many tech companies are choosing to stay private longer.

Can you even explain what that means?

In my estimation the companies are staying private longer so the VCs can blow up the valuations pre IPO higher than anytime in history, whereas, if the startup IPO’d from the start there is no way to continue the growth while sustaining the loss (in the real world business have to make a profit to continue) and VCs couldn’t make the same profit they do now, but in all other respects the risk would be the same.

Anyway it wouldn’t be to hard to look at the IPO of VC backed tech startups and determine what % had profits vs operating losses (obviously my guess is the majority are IPOing at losses). Then, a further analysis could be done to see if the average startup company valuations/market caps declined post IPO and how much pre IPO investors/shareholders took off the table.

Edit: looks like since 2010 there have been 100+ tech unicorns ($1B+ valuation) and ~2/3 didn’t make profit. Wish I could readily calculate how much VCs made taking those companies public, maybe someone can link an article/data.
Good. There should be more collaboration to improve the impact of vehicles on our planet.

Show HN: A Python wrapper for system rsync
Or you can say all customers were affected but some localized free-tier customers got the fix first.
That setting is an inert toggle in branded Release builds.
Hello there! I have created this package so that I could easily and safely integrate system calls to rsync with my python scripts. The script will compile a command to be used with subpress.run and run it for you. It abstracts the elusive way the trailing slash work. All its behaviour is tested with unit tests. It supports the basics of rsync, such as source, destination, ssh hosts and exclusions, but it is possible to pass user defined flags too.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Hope it will be of use for some

In section "1.2 Setup and Interface" there is a very short description of the REPL and how it can be downloaded from julialang.org, as well as a much longer description of JuliaBox and how Jupyter notebooks can be run from juliabox.com for free.

Although JuliaBox has been provided for free by Julia Computing, there has been discussion that this may not be possible in the future. However, Julia Computing does provide a distribution of Julia, the Juno IDE, and supported packages known as JuliaPro for free.

For new users, would the free JuliaPro distribution be a good alternative to JuliaBox and/or downloading the REPL and kernal from julialang.org?

The newer scooters have relieved this problem a bit. Something about the construction of the wheels in combination with small shocks makes small cracks much less problematic.

The issue is the criminal justice system will just throw them behind bars and do nothing else. Prison is basically "We don't know what else to do with you so we'll throw you in here and hope you get better by the time you come out, but not actually do anything to make you better... also you will probably be raped and beaten while in there."

If criminal justice was actually about getting people the help they need rather than doing time, that'd be totally different.
There's a place like this in Stockholm, Sweden also. I've never tried it, so I'm not sure if it's the same concept with the menus though. Still pitch black, as i understand it.

I believe it is essential for Firefox to allow installing extensions in a private way that does not force us to upload our source code to Mozilla, especially considering their renewed push for user privacy.

It could be a feature that can only be enabled from the browser UI, with appropriate warnings, but the choice must be offered for those who need it.

Until that happens, those with private extensions must resort to compiling their own browser, use unbranded or developer builds, or patch Firefox at runtime to disable signature checks.

This is how you allow unsigned extensions in Firefox on Arch Linux, the same files can be edited on Windows and macOS, restart the browser after changes:

sudo tee /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/pref/config-prefs.js &>/dev/null <<EOF
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
pref("general.config.filename", "config.js");
pref("general.config.sandbox_enabled", false);

We've been working on a very similar idea to this for the past few months: https://pocketweb.io
There is a very early beta available on both iOS and Android. We've thought a lot about battery and data and have gotten really good results by leveraging existing radio wakeups, batching requests, and doing all sorts of optimizations to the sites themselves.

Right now we're focused entirely on personal websites, because we believe the majority of those can actually easily be hosted on a phone (eg. How many people actually view your LinkedIn page every day? A single Facebook page doesn't require a datacenter. Etc).

We're limited to single static pages with images right now but better support for multiple pages and server code with SQLite is coming. More template types, for example stores, are coming as well.

Let us know what you think!

To which my point was simply "you are very wrong". As far as I can tell, you agree that there are a lot more barriers to moving to Linux from Windows than just DirectX (again, if that were true why haven't office workers moved? Oh yeah, lots of other reasons!).

How White Nationalists See What They Want to See in DNA Tests
I'm very disappointed that although using Studies (Normandy) is briefly mentioned, it is treated as a matter of course. I was really hoping for an explanation of why they felt they could break their promise to users that Studies would only ever be used for, well, studies.

* All Shield Studies must be designed to answer a specific question - Shield is a tool for evaluating ideas and features in the product. If you are not trying to evaluate a proposed feature or idea there are other means of shipping your code.
Shield studies will always respect user privacy in accordance with our data collection policies

* All Shield studies will adhere to the scientific method for answering complex questions - Generate a hypothesis, test, collect and analyze data, validate or refute hypothesis, refine, repeat..

* All Shield studies require a PHD (Product Hypothesis Doc) - A PHD or Product Hypothesis Doc outlines the overarching research question the study is trying to answer. It requires the study author to think critically about the problem and the outcomes long before the study ships.

These guidelines (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Shield/Shield_Studies#Guidi...) were created after the beach of trust represented by the Mr Robot cross-promotion as a means to restore confidence. Yet now they have been ignored, and again "Studies" has been used as a convenient backdoor.

Edit: it is covered a bit more in this post (https://hacks.mozilla.org/2019/07/add-ons-outage-post-mortem...), but they still don't address that this usage was in direct violation of their own policies and promises.

It seems odd to have a report with a 5G label and then find information in it about core routers. Yes they play a part but it strikes me as odd that there is no focus on mobile switching, gateways, HLRs, signaling vulnerabilites etc..

When looking at the boxes they compare:

Huawei: CloudEngine 12800 scales up to 2000 * 25GBit or 500 * 40GBit
Juniper: EX4650 Ethernet Switch scales up 48*25GBit

With all due respect but this is comparing apples with orange seeds. A carrier class switch is more complex than an enterprise switch and has a much larger attack surface.
It's pretty useful to have this tied to the actual ride; otherwise you're bound to forget it and leave it on, or off.

Also, you want some velocity information and/or history, so that someone can see that you've stopped moving and for how long.
Maybe it's just because I bike a lot, but during the winter, I don't get sweaty at all. I used to be able to bike 95% of the way to work (2.5mi) in jeans without getting sweaty until late June or July. (Those last two blocks going uphill would usually get me, sadly.)

And this is in Austin. Yeah, right now I'll get sweaty, because we hit 107f heat index every other day. During the winter I can bike ten+ miles in jeans and a t-shirt without getting sweaty.
One exciting new development is "Cubical Type Theory: a constructive interpretation of the univalence axiom" [0], a constructive version of homotopy type theory.

The "axiom of choice" in this context is not really an axiom, just a provable theorem whose proof in this setting is given by Martin-Löf. The reason, I believe, is that constructive mathematics has a different meaning for the exists (∃) quantifier. In a constructive context, existence is "stronger" since you have to specify a witness of existence; this makes the hypothesis of the "axiom" of choice stronger, allowing for a proof.

Here's a stab at a very informal version of this. Suppose you have a set composed of "slices". The "axiom" of choice says that "IF for every slice (x in A) there exists a good element of that slice (y in B_x, and 'good' is defined by satisfying property C), THEN there exists a function which takes a slice and returns a good object of that slice." But the very definition of the (constructive) word "exists" in the hypothesis means you already have to specify, as input, a way of finding one good object of each slice. With this, finding a function that provides a good object of each slice is a tautology.

Yeah, that's the case for anything using IEEE 754 floating points.
Endomondo seemed to stop evolving around the time it was acquired by Under Armour. MyFitnessPal suffered a similar fate.
I didn't mean "good" in any absolute sense, but rather in comparison to other places in the country. Homeless people are coming to these places to get something they can't get where they are. Maybe it's still not enough, but it's enough that they want it.

Also, where I live, at least (Vancouver BC), there is a huge amount of free public housing, constantly being built. There are far fewer visibly-homeless people here now than there were even a few years ago. (Drifters who hang around out on the street during the day because they have nothing better to do, yes; people who wander through alleys every night because they take drugs instead of sleeping at night, sure; but people who just want to sleep, but are forced to do so on the street? Not often seen, any more.)

As far as I can tell, in this city, the only people who are still visibly homeless, are people who either are 1. recent-enough arrivals that they haven't bothered to find a shelter, let alone gone through the public-housing application process; or 2. they're people who prefer being homeless. (There is an interesting local phenomenon of aboriginal people taking over the unceded land of one of the city's parks as a pseudo-reservation—translating to "tent city.")
I can buy that. I thought it would be obvious what I meant from simply having read the words "paradox of choice" earlier in the sentence. Of course, that doesn't explain how anyone could have seriously thought that "Person of Color" made any sense at all in this context...
Glenn Greenwald becomes focus of Brazil press freedom debate
Because right now society accepts the risk. Right now we accept 35,000 deaths per year - in the US where a car was involved. If self driving cars are much better we will no longer accept that. Death in a car accident will start to be look at we look like death from the 737max: not acceptable risk. If you want to drive a car you will pay extremely high insurance to because if you hit my friend you are much more likely to be hit for a multi-million dollar judgement to pay for my loss of my friend.
Propaganda is meant to look reasonable. Part of the problem with it is that they successfully presented you with a totally false choice - there are tons of options between "throw them on a prison island" and "do nothing", but the successful ones all involve an unacceptable amount of assistance and dignity given to these homeless people, and so Sinclair and friends just dismiss it as a handout or "moral hazard".

I've always been envious of such families. Only one person in my family was really a quality person, and he passed long ago. I moved abroad for a time to a country where families are closer and while it was exhausting and intense in it's own way after my childhood, it was amazingly "safe" feeling. The relationship that brought me into that fold is gone, and while I don't miss my partner, I miss those people in their family greatly.

>since I'm relying on fast editing/execution cycles

While you can't do it from the shell very well right now (rerunning the program at each step like you would with an interpreted language), that kind of fast cycle is something very common in Julia development but with a particular REPL based workflow [1] in which you use a tool like Revise.jl [2] to automatically update the definition whenever you save a file in your project (the only restriction is that it doesn't automatically updates new type definitions) and directly interacting with the program in the REPL. This way it will only recompile what you just altered, and it's very fast to actually run the code. Other interesting tools are Rebugger.jl (debugger for the REPL) [3] and OhMyREPL (coloring for the REPL) [4], which you can add to your startup.jl to always automatically load them.
