Ok, fair enough. I suspect the typo in the sparql query doing the key join isn't helping :(

The SPARQL is more paragraph based.
We are looking for ?j a :Person named 'Jenifer' and ?p a person who is a friend of ?j . Both need to be interested in graph technology.

This kind of sections of defining a query ends up easier when the relations are multitude between nodes. e.g. friends, colleagues and past having non identical lunch preferences.
Yeah - crime perception has to be the worst way to measure actual crime rates - it is essentially asking to be fooled.
Yes, but collisions below 60km/h got quite survivable back in nineties.

Airbag, seatbelt with pretensioner, rigid cabin, and some crumple zone is all it takes to survive a crash below that speed.

For a healthy, non overweight person, below 40, survival rates already close to 85%-90%.

The reason I'm ringing an alarm here is that survival rates began to slide back since mid naughties exactly because of the trend for more heavier cars being marketed as "safer" resulting in more violent car to car collisions, and more cars going through road barriers.

>The best example we have so far is the Orkneys.

Orkneys is a tiny (20k) region, that is connected to the national grid. That's how they solve their intermittency. That they produce excess energy during peak, is fine and dandy, but that's not what we're trying to solve here.

>Add whatever pumped storage and battery the grid might require.

Woah woah woah woah. You just yadda-yadda over the MOST important part. You know, the thing that makes solar/wind unworkable. Pumped storage requires very specific geography and huge land-use. It is not a general purpose answer. And there is no battery technology to power a modern city (much less a nation) for even minutes, much less weeks.

Now what?

>I suspect it's only vested interests stopping us.

No. It's not. It really isn't.
> As he said you can have

As I said, that's why it may matter, not why it does.
Samsung has a habit of making awesome hardware then shitting all over it with their subpar software.
To be fair cybernetics is directly name checked in the article though: “Norbert Wiener proposed that regulatory systems in both animals and machines should be studied together, in a field he named cybernetics”
Batteries and building _more_ of it. Batteries work. We know how to store energy. And we don't need some perfect, uber efficient storage system yet to at least begin heavily investing.

Fossil fuels have an artificial advantage simply due to oil subsidies. Even Germany is 20% wind power already.
They were hiring in 6 cities, so that's an average of 30k applicants per location. That's a heck of a lot for a single community, even in a large city. How many businesses get tens of thousands of job applicants at a single location?

One of the locations is Arlington Virginia, the future location of HQ2, but they're only hiring 400 there now. In future they expect that will go up to 24k, which is about 10% of the population of the city!
Would've been a golden opportunity to get a billion users onto F-Droid's store, but, more likely Huawei will simply launch with their own, tightly-integrated "Huawei app store". It may even be worse from a security perspective, since there is zero expectation that the apps Huawei provides through their own store should be FLOSS.

Groww raises $21.4M in Series B
It would be interesting to see how it will score in DxOMark (the best unbiased source for comparing both mobile and standalone cameras) tests comparing to current top-players. This review feels biased.
> Nobody sells data, like pay and get hdd with data. They "analyze" it and sell results, or "allow access" for "optimization" of whatever.

Yes, I think most people understand this and say "selling data" as shorthand (because, for a lot of people, it's a distinction without a difference).
Since this comment is obviously going to be controversial, might as well nip the scapegoat in the bud right away -

No, you are not taking food out of the animators at Disney's mouth by not paying whatever obscene price they want for that Blu-Ray. Those workers got paid a salary to make the content and that has already been said and done. Across all industries the amount of royalties going to creators, especially when it takes hundreds of them to make a product (CGI movies, animations, etc) is within a margin of error of 0.

Your money goes to investors and corporate coffers when you are buying popular mainstream media. If piracy in aggregate causes lower profits than anticipated that results in business as usual - reevaluate your product development and / or change strategy and / or complain on mainstream media that you need to use force of law to make people buy your stuff because that obviously makes sense. The creators behind whatever the thing is already got paid all they are going to get in the average case.

A very small percentile of the revenue in the creative industry is actual content creators themselves trying to sell copyrighted works they made to make a living off of them. Most professional media is made by salaried or contract artists that are making the thing on behalf of some corporation whom has the intent to try to profit off selling the copies of the finished work.
Kiosk mode is a good option for simply limiting to the app, but we would like to have a lot more control over updates, etc. These devices generally come with images stuffed with junk, and often have no update capabilities.

But many thanks for the reply!
I would highly suggest checking out Powershell. It works great on windows and linux, its object oriented, and it has all sorts of "networked" capabilities built into it to. For example, say you want to get the disk space on your own computer:
Get-WmiObject Win32_LogicalDisk

If you want to do that on a remote machine you just add this to the end of the command -ComputerName remotecomputer:
Get-WmiObject Win32_LogicalDisk -ComputerName remotecomputer

And then you can just use the returned object to iterate over it:
$disk = Get-WmiObject Win32_LogicalDisk -ComputerName remotecomputer -Filter "DeviceID='C:'" |
Foreach-Object {$_.Size,$_.FreeSpace}
The type system is only one of many issues responsible for Python's lack of performance.

I understand the benefits of static typing. I'm just tired of it often being so overstated.
Fixing a MongoDB Replication Protocol Bug with TLA+
That sounds like the slippery slope fallacy. That kind of thinking doesn't necessarily _lead_ anywhere, and even if it did, that doesn't make it wrong. The argument itself is sound.

No one suggested "the wholesale curtailment of liberties". That's a strawman.

There are negative externalities associated with many activities, coal power generation is one of them. The external cost of coal power is at least more than twice the normal market price of the electricity[1]. This is the when you ignore external effects such as those that take place through water, soils, noise, or carbon dioxide and its effect on climate change.

So the actual price is actually at least three times higher. Why not just bill the polluter for the damage they do and then let the market decide which is better based on the true price?

Are these bot comments? Looks like a simple contractual misunderstanding, probably exasperated by a bureaucratic communication issue of some sort. I'm sure we'll discover that coalfire had ducks in a row and Iowa didn't know what they bought. Nobody communicated it and here we are.
True, and I think that this makes the statistics somewhat misleading. The Atlanta metro area has a population of roughly 6 million and it's not very centralized.
I don't really know what's wrong with that. That's one way to monetize this site and I think it's pretty harmless.

Are you claiming that there are a large number of qualified applicants that are currently unemployed because there are no openings paying as much as they believe they are worth?

Or are you saying that if they paid more, already employed applicants would jump from another company, leaving a job opening at their current company? If this is the case, it still means that there are fewer qualified candidates then openings, and no amount of raising pay will (in the short term of ~4 years) mean there are enough qualified candidates.
Lucky you, to get so few of them. I gopt 4 in just the last month, and usually it's at least one every 3 months.

And that when the first line of my profile very explicitly states that I would never work for Amazon.

Not sure if they are so desperate to get any warm bodies in, or just general Amazon's incompetence.
But it is safety glass, and the roof is still re-enforced with metal.
The content migration situation between a development environment, staging and production is just silly.

I've written database diffing and bulk replace tools just to make this simpler and I still have ways to go before it becomes anywhere near sane.

I honestly think WordPress has cognitohazardous effects on developers, after enough exposure you start normalising the most insane development practises.
This is partly a result of the monopolistic status of utilities. Usually, in a competitive market, if you add extra supply or reduce demand, the price drops. In a monopoly where the company is allowed to maintain profits, the reduced demand means less revenue and profits so they increase price. In a free market with lots of players, the profits would drop, the prices would drop, and marginal players would simply go bankrupt.

It's clever marketing by utilities, however, to blame their abuse of monopoly power on solar power subsidies.
The 737 MAX has new powerful engines and are placed more forward on the wing. This changes the handling characteristics and is most noticeable during takeoffs as the nose tends to rise more readily. The simple solution is to require an hour or two of simulator time to train pilots on the new handling characteristics. In hindsight, using MCAS to account for this new behavior was the wrong choice. I know simulator time is expensive and so on, but this would have been the logical thing to do. Besides I hear the MCAS software was not developed by Boeing but had been outsourced.
Kickass Torrents has had to move around over the years to new domains, but they have been a reliable way to find torrents with new media (and software) for years. I wouldn't use TPB unless I was really desperate.
> ...we looked at 120 US Series A rounds...

> ...on average, founders taking preemptive offers are taking ~1.4% more dilution for less money.

Is this finding statistically significant? It's unclear what the standard deviation in the distribution of dilutions is, but if it's less than ~7.7% or so then this would be less than a 2 sigma result. Granted, given that their prior was that this should have gone the other way, that would increase the statistical significance of the result. I really have no idea what this distribution looks like, though.
Unfortunately, alot early reviewers have perverse incentive to give good reviews to continue receiving early units and getting that as revenue first.
As far as I know neodymium is currently used for magnets in a lot of wind turbines and electric motors among other things. It's not rare but the vast majority of it comes from China right now. I can't speak to how much efficiency it adds.
"Today none of that is relevant. Today you need to provide semantic search ("SS") or your search will be considered broken because the results will truly suck."

I agree semantic search is useful, but what you're proposing sounds vague, like black box magic.

To provide semantic search, you still do the dirty things you just mentioned: integrate a stemming library, integrate synonyms and a huge corpus of 2+ words topics (ie. when someone searches for "big data", you should always return documents with those terms together, and never apart). You need those things. ML might help you generate them, but it isn't magically going to tell you X, Y and Z documents should also be returned for a query, even though it doesn't contain that term.
Oh, I wasn't aware of this. I'm going to try this out this weekend.

To be fair, many languages that have static typing (Java) allow for a null value regardless of type. Systems like that wouldn't help in yout case.

> But the more important problem is that you lose a sense of where this knowledge has come from, where it's been applied, how it's been applied, and other important context.

Thank you for saying this!

A thought I have had in the past few years is "there's been nothing new in management since Drucker and Deming."

I go back and forth because some people have done a nice job of updating their ideas/applying them to modern disciplines, which is valuable.

However, what you said about where that knowledge has come from/been applied/how/context is sorely missing.

That these ideas are still not common knowledge leads to so many unnecessary mistakes.
Both of the cases you mentioned could easily be modeled by simple event emitters. Yeah you could use and RX implementation, but 90% of the library would not be relevant and you'd be adding a lot of complexity without adding any value.

>Batteries and building _more_ of it. Batteries work.

Point me to a battery deployment that can store enough energy to power a modern reasonably-sized city for even hours at a time, much less days or weeks.

That Tesla battery deployment in Australia? It provides a few seconds of energy.

>We know how to store energy.

No. We don't. Not at the scale we need to power an economy. That's the problem.

>Even Germany is 20% wind power already.

Sure. And the rest?

Germany is signing multi-decade, multi-billion dollar deals with autocratic Russia to import their natural gas. Is that because they believe that wind and solar can fully replace fossil fuels? Or is that they know, that solar and wind have a hard ceiling on how much power they can provide and the rest needs to be bridged by burning natural gas, or coal, or biofuels (i.e. garbage, or corn, or whatever) to make it work?
> Not really, worldwide production capacity is several magnitudes below what would be necessary to buffer a large renewable rollout.

Which definition of 'buffer' are you using here? Enough to supply day to day drops, or some kind of year-round system?

Wind and solar would need to scale up two orders of magnitude, and it's not hard to imagine batteries scaling along with them. How many more orders of magnitude would batteries need to scale up?
I did use it then and I never experienced that. I bet it was some unrelated coincidence. They would not do that.
Just seems like pandering with very little actual environmental impact, ignoring the much more major issue with the central pillar of their business, cattle farming, which is awful for the environment.
DHH and Jason Fried like to preach a lot. WordPress/Automattic is an awfully weak target to pick on about a monopoly. I wonder what would happen if Basecamp had 85% market share in the project management tool sector? Would they say "sorry folks we're being too monopolistic. We're going to have to kick some of you off." I don't think so.
Most people tell me the BMW 330i is very comparable to a Model 3, and its curb weight is 3,582 to 3,764 lbs (per BMW). The Model 3's curb weight is 3,627 to 4,072 lbs (per Tesla).

That isn't as big of a difference as I'd have expected.
>people make mistakes and a military test might be trying hard to deceive them

A couple people have mentioned this in this thread and my problem with it is that a military test designed to deceive that same military's personnel seems dangerous in a way that could cause people to lose their lives. Unless you mean that a different military is testing?

'Surveilled' by who is the bigger question, and what public access and rights do we have around the data produced, and is it being fed to some sort of Stasi style panopticon?
It's remarkable to me the lack of public surveillance video produced after major events - the Epstein NY 'suicide' is the latest example, the 2017 UK London Bridge event another. (The latter had video from a mile away filmed with 90's technology as the main news story). I feel we are very overdue in the free world for legislation around citizen rights and access to video, and licensing for any entity or people who want to install surveillance, much like the recent drone FAA registration.
Were the results published or suppressed from publication? I'm sure the University has some sort of IP department and the patent for the compound(s) would belong to the university. That patent should also be public information.

If the study/compound structure has been made public in some form, I think the public has gotten its fair share. The process that will take the compound from works-in-mice to works-in-people is quite difficult and risky. Pharma companies are very good at administering those things and (usually but unfortunately not always, hello Novartis) run those programs in a manner that ensures safety as much as possible down the line.

The Pharma company will spend its billion (roughly the cost per approved drug these days) and will recover many more times that if successful, but eventually the compound will become generic, and all of us will be able to get it for cheap.

I think there are many many problems with pharma, and I say this as someone who is trying to start a biotech. But the fundamental process above doesn't strike me as grossly out of line, it's playing to each players strengths. The reforms I would make would be around some of the pricing excesses, some of the patent/generics loophole abuses, and to find ways to address areas that are hard to make work financially in a private setting (antibiotics for example) through some sort of public/private partnership/prize system.

The Seductive Appeal of the “Nazi Exception” (2017)
I have a TCL TV and use my Apple TV exclusively.

I was actually really pissed a while back because my in-laws were over and when I came home they told me "For some reason you hadn't connected your TV to the internet. We gave it your wifi password, and now it works!" Thanks. Now I have to change wifi passwords, and the power light on the TV constantly blinks because it thinks it should be connected to the internet, but isn't.
AirBnBs are generally subject to hoteling regulations in every market that has them.

AirBnB, as the booking agent for the hosts, doesn't get to ignore the regulations just because the host is liable for any violations. Because they're acting as an agent for the hosts, they're also bound by those regulations.

(AirBnB has claimed they are just a "platform" for connecting hosts and guests. But they handle too much of the transaction for both sides to just be a "platform"--they also handle payment, refunds, customer service, etc. Also, there's generally no such thing as a "platform" exception with respect to hoteling laws.)
Got it, so you are saying that people use JSON and there is a reason you would also like to use it in Excel?
These anecdotes may be a moot point when 5G wireless rolls out. The wireless carriers are going to eat the landline providers for lunch as long as their plans are structured correctly. I'd be happy to own a WiFi router with only a SIM card.
So my phone may not yet have 5G, but my car can definitely pull 5G on its roof.

Sure how many Gs one typically pulls during a car crash. 5 doesn't strike me as a lot, but of course this is specifically about force applied to the roof. I guess you have to not just roll but actually fall on top of it somehow. At any rate, some actual data would be great instead of being amazed at this marketing statement.
