Why should you care about the bestseller lists? This is an alternative if you want to get some insight into the thought process of these (terrible) people.

Also these three people are examples; the point is that some public people that you may care about recommend books, and that is a way to discover books.
Have you ever tried to draft regulation? Even tried to capture everything that could possibly go wrong or be harmful, even unexpectedly and inadvertently? All while knowing that everything you forget will be a “loophole” for the thousands or millions of people coming under the regulations you drafted in the future. And worse if you leave loopholes people will be hurt and then blame the very government trying to create protections in the first place? It’s easy to throw stones at the work of someone else, but this completely emerges to withstand a barrage of stones being thrown.
I'd imagine that this minimum size of 3MWh is ideal for fast charging locations, combined with solar panels on the roof. A by-product of SCv3 development? If it costs around $200/KWh or less, it's very attractive for a variety of commercial applications with PV capability and non-uniform electricity needs.
Cost shifting in healthcare is zero sum at significant economic cost. Aka, the net result of these negotiations is higher healthcare costs even if they can benefit the participants.

On the other hand healthcare providers competing on an open market with transparent pricing would presumably actually reduce costs.
Amusingly, heavy things carried up and down by cranes are a promising way to store electricity.

Besides land being cheap outside of cities, it might also be a safety thing. Like, you might not want batteries close enough that if one catches fire it could catch the rest on fire too. You might also want easy access for fire crews.
try to obtain abandoned electronics to "dissect"
reverse engineering household electronics and appliances is a good start, just mind the dangers in things like microwave ovens TV sets, smoke detectors, and CD lasers.
alot of what you see is going to look a lot like, some sort of digital electronics, with some analog control sections, and a power supply section.

there are rules for different types of technology regarding the current voltage and noise allowed.

basically you have resistors capacitors inductors
then you have diodes transistors SCRs and other junctions
and then you get into ICS such as analog amplifiers
transducers of all sorts.
then logic and digital electronics such as bus master controllers, or programmable IDEs
It would create transparency. Over the long-term that means that prices will become more equal. The people who are paying the most (un-/underinsured) will be the ones who benefit the most.
Are your landscape photos of endless flatness, strip malls, and pavement? Or are they beautiful mountains, forests, seasides? I am not saying liking rural places is "wrong". I am saying you give up a LOT to live in the "cheap" middle because it's the same everywhere you look in nearly all regards and is far from anything "different" in about every use of the word, including those beautiful landscapes.
Yup. Seems crazy but a lot of people make their living that way.
A cesspool of all kinds of pseudoscience, a cesspool of all kinds of racism, and just a flat-out cesspool. And a place where there's an amazing amount of good stuff.
I had cancer eight years ago. While I'd already taken a few year-long breaks before that, cancer reinforced the idea. While I'm not particularly worried about it coming back, I'm certainly not going to bank on living until 90. I also don't have kids right now, but haven't entirely ruled it out. And even if nothing kills me off early and I don't have kids, it's still a lot easier to travel while younger. I've avoided traveling in Europe because that'll be easier when I'm old and arthritic. I don't expect to be backpacking around Africa or motorcycling through South America or sailing around the South Pacific when I'm 80, but I could do a nice railway tour of Western Europe or a cruise around the Mediterranean at any age.
Awesome. I hope they get a ton of orders. These will probably use the dry battery electrode tech they got from Maxwell?
Nah, most schools are unregistered and are too small for California to care about.
There's a lot of irrational talk on nuclear (which one could even be tempted to suspect was the result of astro-turfing campaigns by oil companies), I find this is a pretty decent starting point to question mainstream opinions and beliefs: https://jancovici.com/en/energy-transition/nuclear/discussin...
Also, regarding accidents, it is not solely a property of nuclear power, see for instance the Banqiao dam catastrophe.
I guess I'm just trying to introduce the idea that cheaper boring will reduce capital costs for pumped hydrostorage (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumped-storage_hydroelectricit... )

I don't think lithium ion batteries, which are optimized for their energy density (mass per joule), belong in grid storage situations where we should care mostly about lowest cost total capacity (regardless of round-trip losses) and lifetime.
1) Let's let the number of street parking spots in a city be equal to 10. Currently your new duplex would keep that number 10, assuming 2 cars per household. Under your plan, that would reduce the number of street parking spots to 8, assuming the same number of cars per household. Of course now that the law has been changed, more people want to build duplexes, to take advantage of thier property. 4 more duplexes are built in the city. Now you have zero street parking spaces remaining. So where do new vehicle owners park? They have to pay. So your new rule has transferred what was previously a public expense to a private expense. Basically upping expenses on vehicles for others is ownership infringement. It would be similar if someone built a factory next to your house which used up 99% of the water in the city and then said..."how am I infringing on water usage? I paid for it." Well, yes but no one else can use water now, or you have upped the cost of water for the neighborhood.

2) People often use cars to generate income through being able to drive to work.
> site operators not based in Europe and not targeting European users suddenly have to...

Bullshit.
Don't want to talk about those things just yet.
Very interesting. But it sounds like the technology is still in the research phase and there not yet commercially available (especially not on a large enough scale to make a dent in the demand for uranium mining at the moment).

Contrast that with wind, solar and other renewable technologies which are widely available on large commercial scales right now.
Yeah, I became a trainer and moved back.

Side by side, training part time actually pays much less than engineering work, but it's also a lot easier and repetitive.

Then again, half the richest people I know on the freelance tier are full time trainers. It's a way to make about $200k/year working 20 hours/week. You'll also get called to do training in a lot of distant areas, fully paid, so it's nice if you want to travel.

It's actually very possible to keep a main engineering job. Nobody believes a trainer who hasn't done a lot of work themselves ("if you can't do, teach"). So for most people, I'd recommend you do 20% of work training, 80% engineering.

Career wise, it has been very good. As I teach for certifications, it's worth far more than having a certification. All the last jobs I got made the decision to hire me on training experience.

The downside is that it is physically more tiring. I can work remotely with programming, but not training. I can't take the day off if I'm not feeling so well. You'll also have to be wary of unpaid hours doing things like researching new technology, making slides, iterating on improving your material.

1 week training involves about several weeks of work to do the first time, but you can repeat the same material in the future. Ideal are things like certifications, bootcamps, and corporate training, where you can reuse the same material across many different people.
Second this; dove into Django and DRF source multiple times in the past, always got out with more than I wanted.
Ofcourse on 95% of the occasions the docs are good enough.

The amount of effort spent reducing Lithium Ion costs has resulted in dramatic price reductions. Technologies that looked extremely promising just 10 years ago are having a hard time keeping up.

No cobalt in the new dry battery tech they got from the Maxwell acquisition.

I hope Tesla has a plan for recycling the batteries they manufacture
What are you talking about. It was a massive drag on the California economy while they existed. They were literally shutting the power system for millions of people down to jack the price.
This is a good first step.

The second step being setting caps on what health care providers can charge to those who are uninsured, or for which a particular insurer won't cover.

Instead of some ridiculous number that no one actually pays, they should only be able to charge the uninsured a maximum which is the average of what they actually receive.

If they receive, on average, $850 for an MRI then that should be the most they are legally allowed to charge someone who is uninsured. Clearly it's still profitable for them to do so at this price point, and it doesn't bankrupt the individual.
What's interesting though is that a failed polygraph reading isn't sufficient to charge someone with lying to investigators because they would have to prove a polygraph is correct beyond a reasonable doubt. Furthermore, they wouldn't ask you a question they already know the answer to. For example, if they ask you, have you ever done drugs in the past, you wouldn't be there if they already knew the answer was yes.
They say it scales up to 3MWh but whats the smallest purchasable unit?
Take a look at ggm's comment -- the machine wasn't designed for power storage, it was designed for short bursts of frequency regulation.

When designing for grid-scale capacity, there are companies looking into flow batteries and chemistries that use cheaper (non-lithium) materials.

Tesla however built out tons of lithium manufacturing capacity for their cars, and given the design constraints of this project, their existing products were a good enough fit for the job at hand.
Right, Signal won't be on it at release, maybe ever.

They are recommending Matrix as a substitute, so I am getting used to that. Riot.im is the client, and Matrix is a little more capable than Signal (does interest groups), and doesn't demand your phone number or rely on Google Play services, so there's that. As usual, the problem is getting other people to switch, too.

A Matrix <-> Signal gateway server somewhere would help a lot of people make the jump.

Honestly, if I pass a certain age and my mental or physical faculties start to go, I'd rather opt for some form of suicide than suffering myself or making my family pay to watch...
I'm not sure that'd be workable. Define a discounted rate. What if the suppliers simply don't chase the insurers for remaining balance above the level of the "discount"? What about common practices (not sure about the US medical industry specifically) such as discounts for early payment? It seems to be that there would be too many workarounds.

I do like the idea though.

How about taxing suppliers on the published rate, rather than what they actually get paid? That might stop them being quite as egregious. If they charge an uninsured person more for an equivalent procedure, their tax bill will suddenly go up.
Our instructors aren't in California, though, which is why our counsel thought we were OK.
I think whether defined-contribution retirement is a successful experiment is yet to be determined. I’m in my 40s and everyone I have opened up to about finances and who have reciprocated have admitted to having savings that are totally inadequate, by one or two orders of magnitude. And these are people in tech, better off than average. Few people I know expect to be able to retire and keep their standard of living.

The median American has around $10k in savings and 30% of us have less than $1000. The median savings for people of retirement age is a mere $100k, which isn’t enough to live on for more than a few years in most cities. I’m not sure how self-funded retirement is really expected to work.

All of the people I know who are comfortably retired are on old school defined-benefit pensions. AFAIK 401k-dependent retirees have not yet hit critical mass, so we haven’t seen the financial catastrophe that may be coming.
Anyone have a copy of the complaint handy? I'd love to read the Government's allegations in more detail.

That's funny, because the only political video recommendations I get are right wing videos, despite actively avoiding them for years.

I guess when it comes to politics the Youtube algorithm just shows whatever the user doesn't want to see.
Lead batteries have pretty horrible characteristics compared to Lithium, especially around depth of discharge. They're good to start a car (lots of amps, fast), but not very good to run a computer (low amps, for a long time). Discharge it below 50%, and you'll significantly shorten their lifespan. Below 25%, better try that only once or twice. Below 10%, might as throw them out.
Marketing is all they are.

The driver aren't employees. The cars in the fleet aren't their assets. The insurance is handled by someone else and there is no licensing.

Uber, itself, is just an app with a giant marketing department. The app itself isn't even that different than it was in 2011. 99% of the functionality that people actually use is exactly the same as it was when they started.
It's like firing all your nurses and having expensive doctors work overtime. In other words, silly.
The problem is the time spent talking to the users.

If I own this service, it's not enough that I just reboot the service when it goes down. I'm now responsible for when it's slow, when it doesn't do what someone expects, when the user doesn't understand what the service does correctly, when someone forgets their password, etc.

"Foo as a Service" is as much (or more) about transferring the customer service responsibilities for dealing with the end users as it is for delivering the service itself.
When did this happen? I can look into it
It's "typeclass", not "interface". Though it works similar and is, in fact, just a way to define a constraint.

As of your described way of desugaring the contract, looks way too cluttered. It's exactly the reason why Reader and ReaderT exist in Haskell. Even though the proposal's contract syntax doesn't look very beautiful, it's still drastically better than keeping track of drilled structs of functions, the latter will become a mess really really fast, so having a way to conveniently constraint the accepted types while having a full-blown parametric polymorphism is essential for a modern language. Not sure exactly why anyone would be against that.

I use OSMAnd on my phone, and am quite fond of it, for the record.
There are numerous other applications, as pointed out by other posters, that would be a better fit for the Librem. Most are using OSM as a map source, which I consider a feature rather than a bug (though I admit the map can sometimes be incomplete, the opposite is also true sometimes).

I think everything from Hashicorp is absolutely top-notch, working on their stuff taught me to be a much better Ruby and Go programmer.
The reason why we settled on the polygraph and not something else is because of William Marston. He invented the early polygraph after noticing his wife’s blood pressure rose when she was angry. He also created Wonder Woman who carries a whip that makes people tell the truth. In the 1930’s he wrote a book advocating for the use of the polygraph by law enforcement. Gillette hired him for an advertising campaign to “prove” they had better razors. The public started to believe in it’s effectiveness which allowed it to start coercing confessions.

We might as well be determining guilt and innocence with a block of Kryptonite or by flipping a batarang. It’s ridiculous that it is still allowed.
100%.

Banking system is where money lives.

Value lives outside, but the money represented by the value lives on accounts, in databases.

Even cash is just something tracked by central banks as liability (negative account value - because when someone deposits cash they increase one account, and if the bank then deposits that electronic money at the central bank the total money supply must not change, hence cash is tracked separately).
They're on AWS so I doubt the cloud provider got hacked, it would have been a much bigger news story. https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/case-studies/innovators/cap...

Yep, along with Ublock Origin and NoScript in whitelist mode with browser and extension updates disabled. Frankly it would be less hassle to have my identity stolen than operate all day every day without XUL extensions. Granted my attack surface and personal needs are far different from the average Joe and so my method isn't right for most people, but I've already saved so much time and effort that if starting tomorrow I had to spend the next month living off the cash in my wallet while sorting out a case of theft it would STILL have been worth it.

Hell I already saved a whole day of fuckery by being immune to Mozilla's "disable all extensions everywhere by having the certificates expertise of a four year old" screw-up.
Author's premise: Intentionally writing extremely bad prototyping code motivates one to later clean it up and thus produce better code.

I strongly advise anyone considering this to first try rapidly prototyping code that is as good as you can do quickly. Over time, the quality of your prototyping code should improve and require less cleaning to achieve a high quality result. You should not have to intentionally create reasons to clean up code. The reasons will appear naturally enough.

I Don't know about HN, but I don't think an anti-war stance is controversial. Having said that, I believe, presenting economic sanctions as a humane alternative to war is deeply misleading. Of course you are entitled to your opinion.

A Linkedin profile that is now disabled _used_ to exist for a Paige Thompson in Seattle that worked at Amazon Web Services (AWS). It's the first result on Google: https://www.google.com/search?q="paige+thompson"+Amazon+Web+...
If you're a sole proprietor who comes to students' homes, you're going to pass every legal test of "physical presence in California".

Note that Lambda School's lawyer interpreted the law the same way you'd like to -- Lambda School doesn't have a physical presence in California because it doesn't operate any classrooms. But the state felt differently.

And the state is pretty unambiguously correct on this point -- Lambda School is apparently incorporated in California as Lambda Inc. with a business address of 921 Crescent Court, San Ramon, CA 94582.

Fascinatingly, they seem to have been incorporated in 1983.
It's highly refreshing to see some good news, thanks for sharing.
Given that they're on AWS and "The intrusion occurred through a misconfigured web application firewall that enabled access to the data" thats what im betting too.

DOJ press release:

https://www.justice.gov/usao-wdwa/pr/seattle-tech-worker-arr...

"""
A former Seattle technology company software engineer was arrested today on a criminal complaint charging computer fraud and abuse for an intrusion on the stored data of Capital One Financial Corporation, announced U.S. Attorney Brian T. Moran. PAIGE A. THOMPSON a/k/a erratic, 33, made her initial appearance in U.S. District Court in Seattle today and was ordered detained pending a hearing on August 1, 2019.

According to the criminal complaint, THOMPSON posted on the information sharing site GitHub about her theft of information from the servers storing Capital One data. The intrusion occurred through a misconfigured web application firewall that enabled access to the data. On July 17, 2019, a GitHub user who saw the post alerted Capital One to the possibility it had suffered a data theft. After determining on July 19, 2019, that there had been an intrusion into its data, Capital One contacted the FBI. Cyber investigators were able to identify THOMPSON as the person who was posting about the data theft. This morning agents executed a search warrant at THOMPSON’s residence and seized electronic storage devices containing a copy of the data.

Ah, indeed. I took your comment to mean the opposite. Mea culpa.
A far more pragmatic solution is to move the farms to where the water is. The eastern US seems to always be in the news being flooded.

It's also hella cheaper to move the produced food than the water needed to grow them.
