* only simple CRUD apps - I've implemented with this type of stack a service similar to Parse/Firebase. I've also designed/implemented something like Basecamp+Freshbooks (in traditional PHP style, not a toy/demo app) and i know this type of stack can power just fine services like that (with a lot less code), i.e. your statement "simple CRUD apps" is not true

* monitoring - easily implemented in the proxy (can be as simple as $request_time in logs)

* multiple databases (I take it you mean read replicas) - tie each process (very lightweight process ... something like 5Mb memory) like this one to a particular db replica than use roundrobin in nginx upstream. So, to go from one db to multiple one you just need a different production config, no new code.

* use views/stored procedures to expose as an api then change your underlying tables (data storage format) to your hearts desire.

* Integrate 3rd ... - You are thinking/comparing tools like this to languages/stacks like php/node/ruby when infact you should compare them to things like active record. In traditional stack you don't integrate 3rd party at the same level as active record (in active record code), you do it either above or below this level. It's the same here only above means client code or (scriptable) proxy level (see openresty and njs) and below means database level (PostgreSQL is much more then SELECT ) or some worker process that reacts to system events that can be as simple as a events table or as complex as message broker.

It is a misconception that cigars are better than cigarettes. One cigar contains as much tobacco as 15-20 cigarettes and although you are not using lungs to breakdown and absorb smoke, you are using your mouth lining which can lead to all sorts of mouth cancers.
An idea: In a trail path, it makes little sense to have "corners" along the curves. Constraining the naturally-occuring (as in naked ground vs grass) borders to be differentiable might help them blend in in the environment.
First, that is a terrible analogy.

If I'm interpreting the ops statement correctly, this is more analogous to a system where post-tax income decreases with rising income instead.
> He tried to cause as little damage as possible, but the sheer number of break-ins - more than 1,000 over the years, caused a lot of anxiety for some of the cabin owners.

I would hardly define his way of living as turning his back from the world. He was still very much dependant on it and could obviously not live without it.
Copyright applies to published works. Which in this case would be an image. Owning the rights to an image is a legal issue that is not concerned with representation.

So if the images is converted to digital form, then compressed then decompressed, then printed out then usually it would be considered the same image.
> Although I doubt cooling in London is as much of an issue as Harare.

The climate is similar in both cities.

Harare's average January (summer) daily mean is 21°C, London's (July) is 19°C.

The average highs are 26°C and 24°C. The high-low range, which looks to be important so the building can cool at night, is 10°C in both.
Many people seem to have setup a false choice between the two. Some people, especially politicians, benefit from the false dichotomy.

I would hope that intellectually honest people can see there is large design space for the role of government. Choosing from these options — what is better and worse — depends on individual values and collective responsibilities.

> And how do you know that the right moment will ever arrive? And when it arrives how would you know that it is the right time?

It's called political realism, so you look at the reality, do an analysis and try to draw conclusions based on a calculation of chances of success/failure and potential benefits and losses compared with the status quo. You look at how strong you are, and how strong is your opponent. You look at how much you have now and how much you could possibly gain. You look at who else could benefit from your action, and whether those foreign parties are not provoking you to take a certain course of action in their interest, not yours (the classical question cui bono?). Sadly, the ones who were bothered to do any of this, were being marginalized, and in today's pop historical discourse (fortunately, not the scientific one) are often referred to as predators or collaborators. And Fins were smarter than that.

When it comes to Poland regaining independence in 1918, the role of "us" is often blatantly overestimated in the Polish historical mythology. First of all, there wasn't really an us. There was a land-owning class and there were peasants, with often conflicting interests. The land-owning class would do just fine without an independent state (well, it became a concern for them after the Bolshevik revolution in Russia, for obvious reasons), and the peasants were bothered not so much about independence but who would give them right to land, and who would not. Their varying role in the 1920 war gives us a good idea about this. Second, while the role of the very blurred us is overestimated, what gets neglected is the role of foreign powers, who were drawing the maps of the post-war Europe. And here, I'm afraid, they couldn't care less about how many hazardous insurrections the Poles pulled off in the 19th century. All that mattered was that the Western Europe needed a cordon sanitaire between them and the Soviet Russia that'd protect the interests of the capitalistic model from a foreign intervention (this was way before the Bolsheviks settled on building socialism in their own country). Plus, the Anglo-Saxons needed a political arm in Central Europe, which would serve as an instrument in their policy of keeping Germany and Russia conflicted or at a distance, in the spirit of their perennial divide and conquer strategy towards continental Europe. And even the Polish representatives, whose signatures can be found under the Treaty of Versailles, were indeed the realists (national democrats), not the romantic insurrectionists.

I would argue that does affect the market’s aggregated value a lot. Investing in China could become more risky than investing in the Philippines, Brazil or India in the future simply because you can better estimate how your capital will interact with political policy.

Dilma Rouseff’s impeachment gave investors more confidence in Brazil for example because they could count on the system actually keeping checks and balances on ambitious individuals. The same can definitely not be said of China.

With dirt-cheap renewables it will be more efficient to generate methanol from solar or wind electricity and to use it for long-term storage and redundancy than to burn natural gas or coal. And compared with coal or natural gas with methanol one can use fuel cells to convert it to electricity so one can have relatively small plants for backups in case of really long strips of bad weather.

Finding materials in nature (e.g. an untouched-by-humans forrest) vs in society (e.g. someones cabin) is not much of a difference if you are not a part of society. All living things need food and other stuff to sustain its life.

You go out, shoot a deer to survive, chop down a tree, and head home and you got some food and supplies. You go out, find a cabin, take some food and other stuff and head home and you've got some food and other supplies.

The difference is only significant if you follow the rules of society where we don't take each others stuff. But just like we don't bat an eye when we go out and take the life or supplies from an animal that is not part of society, why should a person or another creature that is not part of society think any different when they go into someones cabin and take food and supplies instead of finding the things in untouched nature? Why craft an axe from raw materials when you can just take the one that something else made that is laying right there in that log of wood?

From what I’ve been told, the runtime limit is mainly because they have a stringent and tiny limit on the lifetime radiation production of their reactors. These limits are not technological, they are because the reactors are research projects.

I believe the main losses are plasma instabilities, rather than the energy cost of the containment. This is somewhat secondhand knowledge though, I merely used to hang out in a pub with someone who worked in this field.
No, we have nothing custom set up. It's just Outlook 365. They send you to one password change page sometimes and another at other times. They both have different password policies. Microsoft is just shit as far as security is concerned. Or it could be a bug. Either way, it's garbage and it encourages not using a password manager and not using strong passwords since the length is limited. I just wish they would shut up with their fucking research into security if they won't bother to implement it themselves. Do as I say, not as I do. That's Microsoft and frankly, I'm fucking tired of their stupid bullshit.

Harare is 15 degrees south and London is 50 degrees north of the equator. The sun is much more intense in Harare and occupies less of the day, allowing more time for the vents to cool the building. That said, this principle can be applied in London as well.

Depends on your goals.

Today's virtual worlds are not accurate enought to allow to develop perception algorithms in simulation. In order to develop sensor fusion, you also need to simulate the output of all sensors including their specific characteristics. Apart from the model quality, there is another challenge: Simulation runtime, which is substantial (!) and - to my best knowledge - not even close to realtime.

If you want to develop driving algorithms that sit on top of the perception stack, then this becomes simpler. You can work on the object level (object being simulated cars, pedestrians, ...) and statistically model perception errors. This is a lot faster, which is e.g. important, if you want to run large-scale reinforcement learning to develop your driving strategy.

In any case, in the future, I would say that we will see a lot more simulation (don't forget, all major players build heavily on simulation - just look into the numbers on how many miles Waymo simulates every day) and potentially going down all the way to the sensing level, because it allows you to develop and especially debug along the whole sense - plan - act stack.

Also, today there exist also hybrid approaches. You take real recordings and abstract them into a simulatable format that you can then, e.g., use to variate and derive artificial scenarios for simulation. This can be used to analyse the influence of different situative paramters on the behavior of a function to pinpoint which parameter(s) caused certain troublesome behavior that have been observed in real drives.

You speak as if the one and only important metric of a place is how many street murals and tattoo parlors there are. And that coolness of a place should be enough justification to prevent anyone else from enjoying its benefits. Loss of coolness == bad, huh?

What about gentrification as a force for reducing crime, raising property values in a place (yes, actual uncouth $ value for people who invested, even unwittingly, and now receive value beyond just being able to get a good burrito), and housing people who previously were searching and couldn't afford to live elsewhere?

Just because gentrification comes with some corporate associations doesn't mean it isn't supporting and benefiting millions of actual people. People who, yes, probably aren't fluent in a 2nd language, can't make a good empanada themselves, and are more boring than the people they replace. But who bring stability, more prosperity and resources, and safety margin of not falling back into urban decay?

Who are you to say that their use of a community is less worthy than the former occupants? Who gets to decide? Who gets to decide, day to day, and house by house, when someone living there dies or moves, who is "worthy" to move in to replace them? Or are you also suggesting that no one ever be allowed to move in there unless they pass some sort of coolness test?

And, by the way, do you mourn the one-before occupants who were displaced by the current creatives / "desireables" so concerned with gentrification now?

> Aren't roof solar panels very inefficient?

They are good enough. Low efficiency just means we have to buy more of them. Obviously we'd need solar plants (and maybe wind parks and other clean sources) to also power those with limited access to roof surface.

Of course, bad weather doesn't mean solar stops working; it just reduces the output. The effect is typically very local as well. So, all that means is that you need a bit extra capacity to cover for that or import energy from somewhere else where the weather isn't miserable.

When (not if) the price for solar and wind drops 10x, you'll be able to buy 10x more than what you need and still beat coal/gas/nuclear on price. 10x is an insane safety margin that would mean you produce more than you need even on the most cold, dark, and miserable day imaginable. And of course solar is not the only source of clean cheap energy. Wind would be another popular option.

A lot of games are passionate creations and the creators would happily put a few hours in to report info to Steam servers if they thought it would double multiplayer use for another year or so at the end of a game's life.

It's the franchises which consider games dead after dropping the sequel, ie Call of Duty, FIFA etc. They want people to buy the next version every year regardless of whether the game is actually better enough to justify the cost.

“Despite the bitter Maine winters, when temperatures can plummet to -20C, Knight says he never lit a fire, in case the smoke attracted attention.”

He dropped off the grid a few miles from thousands of cabins and survived exclusively on the contents of those cabins and the work of other people who filled those cabins with supplies. Had he truly survived alone in Wilderness instead of the equivalent of camping in the backyard and going inside the house for snacks he could have afforded to light a fire instead of pacing at 3AM to keep warm. He’s a parasite in the way he lived - not some noble outdoorsman. He’s a criminal.
Yes, I'm sure the ecig companies will stick to their principles and upstanding morals and not "finely tune" their products to maximum addiction. It would make them more profitable, sure, and that's the one measure we optimise for in capitalism, but I'm sure we can trust them to do the right thing.

For one, "isn't it common knowledge" does not strike me as a particularly well-informed position.

"The energy storage problem" really never was an energy storage problem. It is a political problem of paying for it, because everyone calculates the costs of building storage systems and pretends that the future costs of continuing the burning of fossil fuels are zero, and then decides to go the "cheaper route" that simply has future generations pay for everything, and potentially orders of magnitude more than building storage systems now would cost.

As for technological solutions that do exist, the most important thing is that there is not the solution. If your topology allows for it, pumped hydroelectric is great. If you are the Netherlands, maybe not. Or rather, it's still useful for peak loads, but not for any kind of long-term storage. Batteries have become cheaper and are great for really fast reaction times to be able to deal with fast fluctuations in production, plus they are very efficient, so they are great for daily cycling. Also, just controlling demand better ("smart grid") can solve part of the actual problem (imbalance between demand and production), so you don't actually need as much storage. Or rather, you can even use the demand side for storage: You can, for example, cool down warehouses a degree or two more when you have excess energy in the grid, thus reducing demand later. For long-term storage, Power to gas seems promising: It's pretty inefficient, but it can achieve a high energy density, and efficiency doesn't matter that much for the exceptional case of extremely low renewable production over a large area. Plus, chances are the efficiency can be increased.

Ths point is: There is no silver bullet, but lots of solutions that can be combined to achieve a stable electricity supply from renewable energy sources.
