> It takes the weight of ~5 Model 3s ontop of a single one for the glass roof to shatter. That's good engineering.

But that's not what it says at all. No where does it say the glass won't shatter.

The Model 3 roof has two roll bars, one links the A pillars and the other links the B pillars. That's what's strong.
Look at the quote at the beginning of this thread.

Play Services does handles all push notifications. The 'some reason' is battery life, because your phone shouldn't maintain 30 long lived connections.

From the privacy aspect, I believe all notifications are end to end encrypted actually. Same as Apple.

Would you still recommend the original version? I have a printed copy and tried to read it ages ago, but gave up (it bore me). I am sure I'd appreciate it better now, but with a new edition coming out I'd be wondering whether I'm missing out.
But turning around and trying to frame externalities as subsidies is intellectually dishonest - or outright dishonest. A lot like how people said that New York "subsidized" Amazon's NYC offices with $3 billion dollars. Many people thought that their tax dollars were being taken and given to Amazon, when in reality this was the government agreeing to give Amazon a favorable tax rate for a set amount of time.

When you're right, there's no need to stretch the truth.

Reply to your comment below, HN is not letting me respond:

> Amazon would have used city services without paying for them. Who pays for these services? The people, with their tax dollars..

No, Amazon still would have paid taxes - an estimated $25 billion in taxes over the next 5 years. This is the same erroneous thinking as people who think that they're gaming the system by buying stuff on Steam summer sales. You're not actually getting any money, the company is generating greater sales by offering customers a better deal.

> A partial truth is often the best lie.

But not when people are smart enough to see that your truth is incomplete. And while some people may fall for the conflation of externalities with subsidies, people with power and influence are less likely to do so and when they spot this ruse they're going to be even more adverse to whatever point you were trying to make because you've demonstrated as willingness to tell mistruths.
Applico and they don't seem to understand how the Chinese phone market works.
No doubt that's the reason, but WordPress doesn't make it hard to write plugins badly, so it's not exactly helping.
Absolutely. We serve the market above Wix/Squarespace. We build the site with Divi, then hand it over with tutoring on how to manage page content and create simple layouts (the latter was impossible with stock WP before Gutenberg). If you're DIY you're most likely going to WordPress.com/Wix/Squarespace etc. and aren't a good candidate for our firm.
And besides, you'd need a public walkway license to look at the walkway, and then a camera license to use the camera, and then a license license to display the license...

Nzbgeek I believe is for manual searching, but some of those automated services (SickBeard, Radarr, etc) allow you to manually add something in the mix, they are after all downloaders at the end of it all. That or I forgot how to add their indexer to SickBeard. It's been a while, and after not having done it in so long I tried to go back and forgot how I did it so I had some manually setup.
I’m under the impression that the entity list is for national security issues. Also there are direct quotes stating it is so (https://www.google.fi/amp/s/www.cnet.com/google-amp/news/tru...)

Sure in practical terms it is not used as such. This time it’s just ammunition for trade war. But taking it at it’s face value is more amusing.
There’s been a lot of love for this book, but I found the title to be jarring. When I was given the book to read, I was doing a lot of maintenance work, and was doing a lot of ‘duct tape and bailing wire’ kinds of fixes to keep the systems functional, while slowly addressing the root causes of downtime and issues. To me this was truly pragmatic programming, but nothing in the first few chapters even tries to deal with the levels of pragmatism I needed in my day job that had far too many night time wake up calls. I couldn’t finish it. Any wisdom the book may have was lost to me, and I’ll likely never pick up the book again, I associate it with too much PTSD from that time in my life...

You have to realize that 15 years ago solar was really exotic and 20 years ago close to nonexistent. Wind energy existed, but not in its modern form.

The prices you payed 15 years ago was the prices of an exotic technology produced in small quantities. The price you pay today is a mass product.

This report[0] has such poor data. It leaves off Taipei, which easily has 1 camera for every person. Not only the public CCTV network, there's so many private CCTV cameras that police will use after the fact. Probably more than 80% of residences and businesses have CCTV cameras in Taipei at their entrances pointing onto the street. Not to mention inside buildings too. Taipei has to be in the top 5, if not the No. 1 most surveilled city on Earth (besides maybe the Vatican?)

To be fair, that's how most people feel when programmers tell people that they rigorously test their software.

What programmers consider rigorous testing is literally just automated, predetermined situations that often have little resemblance to the ways end users actually use (and break) the software.

as expected, sections of the bourgeoisie are trying to barely solve CO2 pollution while continuing to maximize every other kind of resource consumption and concomitant non-CO2 pollution. or at least, pretend that they are trying to solve it. either way they will run into the concerted resistance of the bourgeoisie who depend on CO2 pollution as a business model, and who are extremely powerful.

the alternative to this shitshow is to democratically plan resource investment, and get away from the insanity of a road-and-small-vehicle-based city system (aka, establish socialism).

> 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.

Let's see.

129 Megawatt-hours.

The 20th largest city in Australia has about 90 thousand people.

One estimate says that if this battery is drained at the designed 100MW it can power 30 thousand homes. And there's 2.6 people per household. So if the battery was adjusted to drain at 115MW it would power that city for over an hour.

Another estimate is that Australia averages 10MWh per person per year, that's about 103 megawatts for 90k people.

So if we pick the 23rd largest city instead then we can supply 100% of the city's power with this single installation for well over an hour.

That's a lot better than "a few seconds".

You can't drain lithium ion batteries in "a few seconds" anyway.

And for that many people, it cost around a thousand dollars each. With electricity around 30 cents a kWh, you could take a third of that and install another hour of battery each year.
Don't give them credit.

It is a very crafty "limited hangout"[1]. It is designed to distract that they are doing the exact thing they are crying foul about, under the guise of being "open" re their opinion section.

My opinion: If you (or others) still think NYT is the "good guy", you are in for some massive disappointment. Or maybe not? Ignorance has always had a nice element of bliss derived from it.

> The work is backed by a mathematical proof that no simpler answer exists — a good indication that natural feedback systems probably work the same way.

On the contrary. It means that you probably won't find anything simpler, but you will certainly find more complex ones as exaptation drags part of the system off in a new direction.
Pretty much every county I stayed in the US taxed Airbnb, somewhat substantially and possibly even above the prevailing rates for hotels.

There are counties who derive 1/3 of their revenues from Airbnb taxes. Probably won't be banning them.
You build a shitton of wind and solar and a good grid that is as large as possible so that it's always windy somewhere in your grid. Peak production capacity should be a good bit higher than peak consumption. During the buildout phase you replace coal with gas peaker plants (you'll need them later). Then you add enough batteries and hydro storage to get you through a night or a bad day. If you can, use demand shaping technologies, e.g. charge electric cars and run aluminium smelters when it's particularly sunny or windy.
Then you add power-to-gas facilities that produce Methane from electricity and use the existing infrastructure for strategic NG reserves to store it. For long periods of low production (e.g. winter) you turn the gas back into electricity.

How much wind and solar you need depends on how good you are with lowering demand, for example by insulating homes, shifting transportation to trains and building heat pumps.
> For example airplanes emit tons of CO2, but if the same 300 people in a plane drove the same distance it could be much worse.

Technically true, however airplanes provoke a rebound effect. By making travel so efficient and fast, it makes people travel more. If airplanes didn't exist all people would simply travel less, not drive more.

Interesting, thanks for the follow up!

I guess that makes a certain amount of sense, long unshielded cables often pick up RF and I guess in a data cable it might read as a stream of bad requests. I'd be interested to know the theoretical impact, in terms of how many legitimate requests are expected to be below-threshold. If they're only installed on 'noisey' lines, maybe the answer is "none in practice", since any packet that would be filtered would also be wiped out by RF interference?

I'm stunned to hear that you've consistently gotten over advertised rates. I've had Comcast in two places, and considered myself lucky when I got close to advertised. One apartment ranged from 80%-105% of advertised, then plummeted to 20% in the last few months I was there. (No troubleshooting available, because I didn't rent my modem from them.) The other just sat at 20% non-stop, except that supposedly Comcast's speed test server was getting my full allocated speed. Honestly, I was halfway convinced by the theory that ISPs throttle connections just so they can report annual "improvements" to consumers and the FTC. But they legally defend those advertised speeds as averages, so I guess someone has to be over the rating to offset the people who aren't.

...now that I think about it, could those "average download speeds" be from a mix of fiber-to-home and fiber-to-hub residences? If they're the mean of something bimodal, it'd explain a lot of what I hear.
Now all this means is the user needs to install themselves rather than use the pre-install bloatware. A clean start might actually be preferrable for a lot of people

Add to that, the capture of contract drafting by lawyers, many of whom prefer to write hard-to-understand legalese to try to keep the mystery going and to bolster their own employment prospects.

The glass will almost certainly break in a rollover crash. But it's laminated safety glass, so it won't be dangerous. More importantly, the metal frame of the roof acts as a roll cage, and that's what IIHS tests the strength of. They're not really testing the glass.

See pictures of a rolled over Model 3 here: https://electrek.co/2018/07/15/tesla-model-3-rollover-crash/ The glass is broken but the rigid metal frame clearly protected the occupants from harm.
Yes, NZBgeek is like searching a torrent site. I believe you can add any NZB's to whichever downloader you have (nzbget, sickbeard, etc.) If not, one could always have two downloaders installed, one associated with NZBs for the automatic downloading and one which is not and just done manually.
> 2. The expanded attack surface

I'm a fan and a customer of https://www.hardypress.com/ –– they run Wordpress in a sandboxed environment, and have a "publish" function that exports a static site.

Of course that limits what you can build – for example, you would need to use 3rd party services for blog comments and for contact forms – but for many use cases that's OK.

There is also the "Simply Static" Wordpress plugin that can export a static site.
The more nightmare WP/WC implementations I have to deal with the further it pushes me to recommend something like Shopify. Only if the client needs extensive customizations do I recommend WP/WC, and only if they agree to regular maintenance.

Falling 2, or even 1 release behind makes maintenance a nightmare.

I also explain to people that even though WP and WC are free, and very easy to install/setup, you're essentially running your own ecommerce software platform, and are on the hook for maintenance and any problems (security/scaling etc.) whereas hosted platforms like Shopify take a lot of that off your plate.

Not sure if this is helpful or not; but I have a very similar 8 year old. (Although his emotional maturity isn't quite as far behind as your child, and his response is to shut down rather than attack.) Similar challenge with IQ where he works 3-4 years ahead of grade levels and tests as profoundly gifted.

We found a charter school that mixes home school and in class education. So he is in a typical school environment 2 days a week and we home school the other three days. This has been a good mix for us; he can get some socialization at school (plus other activities we are involved in). It's not as all encompassing and stressful as a full 5 day a week school would be. We can do academically advanced work 3 days a week; while still giving him a chance to work his underdeveloped social skills with a little less pressure on the system. Best of luck; parenting can be hard :)

People are not having many children. This has a long term effect, which will last decades. QE will become more and more necessary, as the decades go by, if birth rates remain low. Of course, we could, instead, have the government build things. I live in NYC, I would like to see the government build a new subway system. I'd like to see a system of walkways above the streets, where people can ride their scooters without having to worry about automobiles. I'd like to see the government buy up more land and convert it to parks. We need a vast system of dykes, to keep the coasts safe, in a century when the oceans will be rising. For the New Jersey, New York and Connecticut tri-state area, I can think of $1 trillion in improvements I'd like to see. Other parts of the country also need improvements. Let's say $10 trillion over all. Over 20 years, that's an extra $500 billion of spending a year. If we had that kind of stimulus, we would not need QE.

But birth rates are low, so demand is going to be depressed for many decades to come. So we will need something, either fiscal stimulus or QE.

By the way, when I say birth rates are low, I'm very much including China. The one child policy has global effects. World wide interest rates would be wildly higher if Chinese families had continued to have 4 to 5 children, which is that they were having right before the imposition of the one child policy. It's because China has so few children that they have so much savings, leading to the global savings glut that has given us interest rates near 0%.

People have a tendency to become extremists. I sometimes think of it as a ridge, with cliffs on both sides. People look at one of the cliffs, and back away from it, because it's a cliff, and it's dangerous, and so they're going to make sure that they don't fall off of it. But they get so focused on that cliff that they forget that there's also a cliff on the other side.

So in that sense, the advice is good and necessary. But it's kind of not, because the kind of person who needs the advice isn't often the kind of person who reads such a book.
That's intentional, push notifications are part of Google Play framework, not AOSP Android.

The reason is, that you won't get battery savings if random app can keep your radio busy. Since mobile carriers managed to kill WAP-Push some 15+ years ago, the only way to get push notifcations is to have a long-lived TCP connection open.

However, that opens another can of worms, there are multitude of timeouts on the way between your phone (including your phone) and the push messages server. Most apps would get this wrong, and they would have to cooperate together anyway (radio is global resource on your phone, it won't switch to low power if another app is busy chatting).

So on Android phones that come with Google apps, the task of managing push notifications is handled by Google Play framework (and also whatever Amazon is using), by single long-lived connection, used for all push messages, and not by apps themselves.
I think it was Joel McCormack who wrote a paper (context: X11 display servers) that basically said that in the long run, dumb frame buffers were probably better than dedicated graphics processors. He reasoned the general purpose processor guys were improving performance faster than the dedicated GPU folks were able to due to greater scale and resources. They were therefore able (eventually) to perform the same graphics primitives just as fast as the GPUs, and were using up all of the memory bandwidth anyway.

That doesn't seem to be as true any more, and there were always corner cases (e.g. hardware accelerated mice sprites, I think, were always a win for various reasons), but it was an interesting debate back in the day.
