Echoing an earlier comment, branding and domain naming is massively important. A crappy brand is to consumers like a crappy API is to developers. People won't be attracted to your idea if they can't relate to it.

You need to think of your company or product name as the interface to the collective psyche of your customer base. The stronger and more positive the association the higher chance your little idea has a chance to be understood and stick around in people's minds long enough to catch fire.

Two essential tools for domain name research:

1. https://domainr.com: search a name across multiple TLDs simultaneously

2. https://wordoid.com: search for different versions based on a root word (i.e. word-oid, nap-ster, etc)

Happy hunting!

Facebook, Google and Wikipedia are banned in China, and many other sites. Accessing them as w means breaking the law. Since the censorship is mostly for political reasons, accessing those sites illegally would embroil you in a sensitive issue.

No, they would pay out a settlement on a wrongful termination claim and send employee on their way. I’ve never seen a forced rehire outside of an existing CBA. And with those, have seen some pretty bad employees get back in the door. IME, most often CBA’s protect the bad more often than protect the ill-treated. Some say it’s a fair trade-off, but I have bags of bad examples and not a single good example. I’m not saying some companies don’t fire in retaliation, etc., but I’ve only ever seen the grievance process on a firing help bad employees IME. So am predisposed to be critical of them.

Dobsonian Telescopes have been known for their ease of use, lesser complexity and overall economy. They're cheaper than their counterparts - refractive telescopes. I'd recommend a telescope that's reflective, mostly because it's cheaper. If you're into astrophotography you could simply add an equatorial mount and you're good to go. I'd suggest you to look into Celestron, SkyWatcher, Orion and Meade telescops.

Signals on power lines get filtered out by transformers, line reactors, capacitors, etc. they are also expensive to inject and extract since it requires high voltage connections which have to be of the same quality as the rest of transmission system components. I’ve worked both with power line carrier for transfer trip schemes and ripple plants for controlling hot water loads. More likely your ripple plant is going to have some failure resulting in tripping all your generation when it didn’t need to.

Many Important plants and transmission lines are connected by a utilities own fiber which can be used to transmit the actual state of the system instead of trying to infer it from the power waveforms. This is the best solution but obviously expensive.

Uncontrolled decentralized embedded generation is not meant to ever energize a dead line. If it has a solid state power electronics interface to inject power (a fancy inverter) it is probably operating in a mode where it follows the waveform on the grid to make sure it stays in phase. If the grid waveform is poor quality, full of harmonics due to faults, or phase shifts due to major loads or generation disappearing resulting in instantly changing power flows, the inverter can’t stay in phase. It is probably a delicate balancing act to be able to follow the grid frequency but also affect it by injecting active and reactive power. I’m not an inverter guy so this is mostly speculation from reading data sheets and manuals for grid tie small battery systems.

Not sure about rocof tripping generation on falling frequency. There are situations in which injecting power in to an island can result in overvoltages that would damage all of the equipment on the island, so it is better to avoid it if it looks like an island might be forming. Just a guess based on experience with an embedded steam turbine.

There could have been a very short increase in frequency for the 80ms or 4-5 cycles when the single phase to ground fault occurred as faults cause machines to accelerate since it is the same as removing the load and replacing with a short circuit. Otherwise the only increase in frequency was when it started to recover by the system operator calling for more generation.

Then don't look into who can acquire Israeli citizenship. They are open to "all Jewish persons", both people born to jewish mothers and converts "who are not a member of another religion". So citizenship, or not, can turn on the specifics of religious faith and ritual. (Isreal is not alone in this, they are just the most western-leaning nation for whom religious dogma is used in determining citizenship.)

You are paying about 100x on hardware because your software is limited to a single address space.

Even if the mainframe never goes down, the entire site will go down (eventually the rack power supply, HVAC, fiber, natural disaster, backhoe, etc. will get you even if your CPUs and RAM are redundant and replaced before they fail), and then either your entire business stops or at least processing for that region stops, or your system is resilient to site failure because you built a distributed system anyway.

If you could rewrite your software to be distributed and handle a node/site going down, you could run a single site on 5 servers that together outperform the mainframe (by a lot) and can be serviced on a whole server basis (though of course, expensive x86 servers also have reliability features), or use really cheap hardware without even redundant power supplies, but have enough of them to not care.

The modern solutions are better than the mainframe, and the only reason to use them is management risk aversion and unwillingness to learn new things.

The Roosevelts was my intro to Ken Burns and it was the only TV show ever that I could not stop watching. Since then, I've also been very impressed by the quality of all the other Ken Burns documentaries.

I dunno, this time the text looks really good. I got as far as 5 or 6 phrases deep before it said anything silly. I would have been fooled if I red it in real life.

My guess is that they will perfect the transformer and its training process, curate the dataset and make this method really easy to use. Maybe it can do translation, math, even auto-complete code. That is only by iterating more on the current formulation of the Transformer.

But it is also possible that it is surpassed by something even better. This new language model could replace the inductive bias specific to the Transformer - the ability to "attend" to any part of the input text, with something more efficient, because Transformers are quite hard and expensive to train right now. Maybe the Transformer inductive bias is too general (like a fully connected network) and needs too much data, with a slightly different idea it could be made much more efficient and probably more convincing.
Even having access to the source code might not be enough: I’ve seen cases of weirdly forked repos with custom additions and half baked backports that relied on hacked system libraries and weird mix of specific legacy packages in some symbiotic way that just one specific laptop of some long gone developer was able to compile it and virtual machine of this Windows XP was passed around.

The 2nd Gulf War - the US tried very hard to get more allies to join the war effort. Colin Powell's WMD presentation to the United Nations was part of the effort.

Very few people in international circles, especially those familiar with the Middle East believed it, which, unlike the 1st Gulf War, saw almost no support from our traditional allies.

The US media did a poor job of questioning the evidence. Late Night comedy probably did a better job - especially, questioning why so few allies were coming along for the ride.

For many people, it was around this time when they started trusting The Daily Show on Comedy Central more than they trusted Fox or CNN for their daily news.

The point of the comment you are replying to is that plenty of parents, under the guise of "instilling good habits," simply issue a blanket ban and the threat of further punishment to discourage the use of whatever they are trying to teach their children to avoid rather than teaching their children responsible use, and that this is counter-productive, extremely damaging, and basically the opposite of good parenting.

In my experience my parents issued blanket bans and the threat of punishment for eating sugary foods, using the internet and watching TV. All this did was cause me to binge on all three whenever I had the opportunity at a friend's house, and that behavior extended into my adulthood until I was able to break free of my parents and seek the advice of reasonable adults to help curb my addictive behaviors.

When I discussed this with my parents they doubled down on their behavior, washed their hands of responsibility and blamed me. They used the same tired "how you behave when you are an adult is up to you" line. I hope you aren't doing the same to your children.
My sense was get the W-8 BEN from the foreign contractor, and you're relieved of all reporting and withholding. The burden is entirely on the contractor to his home country.

Lol WTF are you talking about? If you diff Chinese and Japanese DNA (typical population) there is a hell of a lot less than if you were to do the same with a European or African genetics. Of course Japanese and Chinese genetics overlap a lot; so of course they're related, but distinct genetic groups.

It's dense in the sense that there's a lot of text on the screen, and a lot of reading required. All other things being equal, I find it easier to read very short names rather than very long ones, even for code I didn't write myself.

It's not about evidence of harm, its about evidence that the safeguard didn't work.

Imagine I was demoing an elevator with a backup stopping mechanism that kept it from going into free fall. So I hoist the elevator 10 feet up and cut the line, and the mechanism doesn't work, it falls immediately to the ground.

Would it be reasonable for me to say, "Nobody was hurt, the elevator only dropped 10 feet, so there's no real problem"? I would want the elevator sent back to design/engineering before I was willing to put any people on it.

The mosquitoes were not supposed to be able to breed, and they did. Not being able to breed was the safety valve. In this case, because the modifications were very minor, the effects of that are pretty minor, just a tiny bit of junk DNA. Because the rollout was small, the effects are small. I only hoisted the elevator 10 feet.

But before we doing larger rollouts or more sophisticated modifications, we should make sure that our safety valves actually work. I don't think it's unreasonable to ask that we collectively prove we can get small things right before we start doing large things.
It is not surprising that these kinds of conditions exist on fishing vessels - you start to treat your fellow human animals the same way you treat other animals. "Fishing," which is really planetary-scale sea foraging, as Jeremy Jackson points out, is incredibly cruel to everyone involved. If you do not already shun seafood because of the massive amounts of mercury and other toxin pollution, maybe consider the ethical problems, and start advocating for a total ban on commercial fishing.

Submission to HN is not enough in itself. The title and link in any "Show HN" submission needs to be calibrated to both catch the eyes of the right HN readers (so they learn - if only fleetingly - that the project exists) and also intrigue them enough to devote 5-10mins of their time to investigate the project and offer feedback.

I have not managed to work out (yet) how to craft such a submission for my OS project. Putting in the time and effort to get to the stage where a submission does generate interest/responses is the entry price that I need to pay, to earn those responses.

In the meantime browsing HN has become one of my main pleasures, and an education on subjects way beyond my comfort zone.

I think going down with the ship may have less to do with honor in this case, but with the realization that he made such a serious mistake that his career (and likely freedom) was over and suicide became an attractive option.

He killed five of his men, and sank the ship because he wanted to save then net and catch. I suspect whichever authorities had jurisdiction over him would frown upon that.
If you fully adopt this attitude, the funny thing is that the kids don't see it as boredom most of the time. They don't expect a constant stream of novelty.

My daughter attended a Waldorf school (in Europe called a Steiner school), K-12. There are some great things about it and some drawbacks too, and I'm sure the experience depends widely on which particular Waldorf school you attend.

When we signed up our daughter we had to sign a pledge: no TV, no radio, no movies, and no computer (until high school). We were strongly encouraged to eschew typical toys for a certain kind of toy: one with heft and texture, and one that left room for creativity.

The rational behind it was multi-fold. Most media is tailored for and fosters a very short attention span and conditions children to expect constant stimulation. When you grow up hearing polished songs where the top 0.01% of singers take dozens of takes, then are autotuned, then spliced into perfection by highly skilled producers, when a child raises their voice to sing they think their own singing is terrible instead of joyful. By having a set of wooden blocks, a bored child will use them to create dozens of things, whereas if you give them a plastic fire truck with flashing lights it can only be a firetruck.

By and large I think their goals work in that regard, but it also ends up isolating the families to interact with only other Waldorf families. If your child plays with non-Waldorf kids, they get dazzled by the neighbors x-box and resent that they can't have one.

The biggest downside, though, is the type of parent drawn to Waldorf also tends towards homeopathic hoo-hah and anti-vax tendencies. In our case we kept our rationality and politely accepted but ignored other parents' referrals to "energy workers" and offers of homeopathic tinctures.

There was no war due to many reasons: Russia's involvement in Syria, Venezuela,etc because of the lesson of Iraq and Libya , and thanks Trump for firing Bolton, etc, etc.
But there's no war doesn't mean the Western media don't lie (high order lies like this one). The journalists in West media lie all the time about the things happened in totalitarian regimes because the difficulty of verification. You don't see a lot of lies here but there are many snapshot of BBC/CNN lies capture by Chinese netizen. Westerners just don't know.
It still encourages creative thinking and thinking outside the box. You might even be able to turn it into a game with your kid.

Yes and no. I work for a bulge bracket bank and we're moving a significant number of applications to the cloud, including AWS, GCP, and our internal cloud offering.

But we have literally thousands of internally developed applications. We can move thousands of apps the cloud and still have a need to keep thousands on virtual/physical machines. My own apps are stuck on commodity physical hardware for at least the next few years.

The type of applications that can historically been run on mainframes is not really moving to AWS/cloud. Most of what's going to the cloud is what I would consider to be "supporting" applications, not core applications.

My own experience, that of others may differ.
That's not true, there is about 70% support for a public option.
