Right, I short-handed it. If an event occurred that is quite contrary to our thorough understanding of a situation, e.g. a sudden disappearance of a fatal and currently-incurable illness along with all traces of it, and this happens directly after the invocation of the intercession of a Saint in heaven, then it is theoretically possible that it's a coincidence and that we just don't understand further science behind it. But only someone who doesn't want to believe in the obvious and strong conclusion that it was a miracle is going to be able to. God designed it this way, so that it's not absolutely provable, but pretty much obvious to anyone with a good heart. I add this last clause because as Venerable Fulton Sheen said, the atheist half-believes in God by night, and nobody refuses to be Catholic except if its incompatible with the life they would rather live. Those who don't want to believe the truth don't have to, for "God sends upon them a strong delusion to make them believe what is false."
I disagree. It's been my experience that Amazon very rarely has the lowest price. They prefer to charge higher fees for listing than places like Ebay and hope people choose Amazon just due to brand recognition.
But the motivation for that effort varies from 'this person is actively seeking to manipulate me with poppsych to use my failed career as a stepping stone' to 'genuinely concerned about how I feel about recieving critical feedback.'
I read that as sarcasm, but yes it is a little hard to tell.
I'm confused as to what Boeing is changing then - your description of 'dual-dual' systems sounds like what is happening with the master/slave failover system already in place. It sounds like what they're changing is to have the two systems cross-check each other in real time, rather than have the in-band delayed core be the sanity check for each system, which seems like a big difference because it means that there are now disagreement scenarios whereas an in-band sanity check always is just checking one system against one set of invariants and thus can't disagree with it's own observations. Or am I misunderstanding?
Yes.

> You don't get out of paying for it -- otherwise it would be easy to avoid by having the government establish an independent non-profit insurance company.

no one is arguing that we arent paying. The point is, you are equating costs between public and private, and private has to take profit. Government doesnt.

Do we actually know that healthcare is a profitable industry if (like the government would have to) you actually cover EVERYONE?

Again: the size is incidental to that specific dam. Pumped hydro facilities can be vastly smaller.

Ffestiniog Power Station in the UK is on the order of 1 hectare (1/100 km^2) in area (based on 170,000 m^3 storage and a 34m dam height). It's a modest and early pumped-hydro facility.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ffestiniog_Power_Station

Bath County Pumped Storage in the US has an upper reservoir of 107 and a lower of 226 hectares respectively, or 1 km^2 and 2 km^2, roughly. It is the largest in the US.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_County_Pumped_Storage_Sta...

There is no reason for a purely pumped-hydro facility to be anywhere remotely near the size of Itaipu. Which is not in fact a pumped hydroelectric storage facility, but a hydroelectric generating station with no pumped-hydro storage capabilities or functions.

"Disney" is not the artist. Artists are human beings. Disney is a megacorporation that hires many individual artists.

Now, it's true that it takes many individual artists working together to make a major motion picture of any kind, but that doesn't change the fact that there are so many layers of middlemen between your money and the actual artists that saying that "giving Disney your money" is giving your money to the artists is....at best a gross oversimplification, and at worst outright false.

And annotations and classloaders. Haven't looked at Hibernate in years ("10 years" to be exact /g) but it is possible that it also requires Java and JVM's instrumentation facilities. So certain kind of software magic can't be done with Go.

Options in Go for effective ORM require source level processing.
But when they're mixed together neither can be easily used, and separating them at that point is difficult.

Seeing What a GAN Cannot Generate
> heuristics that humans have added themselves

I don't think this is a meaningful distinction. Who cares whether the new heuristic is being added by a machine or a human?

You still need to keep feeding the neural network data to learn from, and it will still choke when it sees novel data that doesn't align with the heuristics it developed.

That's the entire reason adversarial AI works. The reason the Trippy T-shirt makes you invisible to some current AI systems is because it exploits the heuristics they've built using data that these systems are unfamiliar with and haven't learned to process yet. If it was possible to build an AI system that could defend against novel attacks, the Trippy T-Shirt wouldn't be able to fool them.
Thank you for reminding me how strange the universe can be sometimes.
I actually think that analytics clusters is one of those wild west things. The statistician in me is suspicious of a lot of the Big Data movement, for various reasons that could largely be summarized as, "I'm pretty sure these ways of working are motivated less by any true analytics need and more by the needs of cloud services providers to sell cloud services."

I like some of these technologies for taking care of the dragnet data collection and engineering, but, when I'm actually doing a data analysis, it's rare I want to run it on a Spark cluster; I'd much rather run a Spark job to collect the information I need and sample or digest it down to a size that I can hack on locally in R or Pandas. Yeah, there will be some sampling error, but the potential dollar cost associated with that sampling error is much lower than the cost to eliminate that sampling error. And it's basically zero compared to the elephant in the room: the sampling bias I'm taking on by using big data in the first place. "Big data" is, from a stats perspective, just the word for "census data" that people like to use in California.

My trouble has been that I automate everything and document it so well, that I basically "code myself out of a job."

I also strive for instant response time (my wife hates that) and often, I'll already be working on a client issue that the servers emailed/paged me about by the time the client gets in touch (that definitely impresses them).

So, the typical pattern is this: I meet a new client, understand their needs, build a RESTful API back-end (Python, Django, Terraform, AWS), automate any internal processes and/or build internal tools, and then support their front-end team in building their web/mobile apps that consume the API.

Usually, it's a few days to a couple of weeks of full-time work, and then my hours drop off a cliff: either 1) the client's team takes over completely, or 2) if I stay on, any subsequent feature or issue takes just minutes for me to do, so then I'm back to square one, looking for the next client. So far, I've been lucky enough to make all the clients happy and have them become "clients for life," but that "life," added up between all the existing clients, is just a few billable hours a week.

Any advice for me to break this pattern?

Depends who’s prices. When Amazon corners a market with their own service they drive prices up (in the article the seller has to use Amazon Logistics). When Amazon sells your book, it’s your price, then Amazon demands that you sell through them at your lowest price, in their TOS you aren’t allowed to sell your book anywhere else for less.

Of course there is almost no resistance to their dominance because we live in a time where legislators favor large businesses (because Citizens United). Examples of a broken regulatory environment... FCC turns a blind eye to deceptive practices like Amazon’s false advertising (BuyNow button for ebooks that you don’t really buy). The patent office gives patents for trivial improvements like the OneClick purchase button, which obviously helps large businesses with big legal expense accounts. And the grand daddy of anti-competition is the ability of technology giants to spy on other businesses, Amazon, Google, Apple etc snoop via their platforms and analytics services to choke out competitive threats. How do they choke them out? They control the search engines and browsing platforms as biased referees, so they decide what we see via recommendation tweaking (which is also why the Advanced Search features in these platforms, appstores, market places, search engines, are quietly disappearing, they make it harder to skew the playing field).
How much solar power do you get when a blizzard rolls through?

What causes the torque? Does it have to do with blood pressure being slightly higher on the heart's side of the body or something like that?
People don't talk about it, but what killed the Light Water Reactor is the same thing that killed coal burning power plants -- the size and cost of the steam turbine.

Gas turbines revolutionized power generation in the 1970s and since because the power density is so much higher than steam turbines, greatly lowering the capital costs of a power plant. For a while coal still competed based on cheap fuel, but after fracking came along the fuel is cheap and the power plant is cheap so natural gas overtook coal quickly.

A reactor that runs at a higher temperature than an LWR can operate a Brayton cycle gas turbine using Helium, Carbon Dioxide or Nitrogen Tetroxide as a working fluid. Some possibilities are liquid metal reactors (metal coolant), liquid salt reactors (liquid fuel!), HTGR (carbide fuel) or GCFR (nitride fuel).

It is a lot of technology to perfect, but as long as a nuclear heat source is coupled to a huge expensive steam turbine, the economics are going to bad even if we learn how to build reactors right the first time.

>Solar and wind meanwhile is beating coal on price even without subsidies. Yeah sure... it doesn't always shine or blow wind. But we have a multitude of storage solutions: thermal, pumped hydro, flow batteries, gas-to-power and there are many good solutions for adjusting power usage on demand to fit lower production.

None of which scale well. I'm kind of baffled by this approach, I would assume that posters here would be hyper sensitive to the ability of technologies to scale and as such would immediately point out the issues here. Solar and Wind prices have dropped substantially, that is true. However just like coal hides and exports it's true costs (carbon emissions and general air population), variable production renewable energy hide their true costs to an energy grid. If renewables are so cheap then why is German and Californian electricity costs so damn high considering their respective investments into them? It's because they're paying more on other parts of their grids to keep everything stable. And those costs only increase as percentage of renewable increases. Choosing a solar plant over a equivalent nuclear because construction costs are 1/5th only to get hit with 10x costs on keeping your grid stable is not a wise decision.

>It seems like these nuclear advocates have not even investigated all the storage solutions that exist before going crazy about nuclear power. These solutions will only become more viable as we get a bigger renewable mix, because it will cause the spot price of power to drop really low, making it profitable for companies to buy and store power.

And had you really investigated all those different storage solution's you'd see that there aren't panaceas. Quite the opposite. And to suggest that they will become more viable as you get a bigger renewable mix is ludicrous. A bigger renewable mix means that your production is becoming much more variable. Which means you need more and more over capacity storage in order to smooth out greater lows and highs. Worse of all the best and highest efficiency storage solutions, Lithium Ion batteries, are consumables and would need regular replacement.
This is a sore spot with me, because here in Germany you just can't. At least not legally. And more than that you have to openly announce your name and address on your website. It's called "Impressumspflicht". Theoretically it doesn't apply to "private" websites but there is enough ambiguity there that not including an "Impressum" is considered too much of a risk.

Some try to render the "Impressum" as a picture so that it doesn't get indexed by search engines but it's not clear wether that is sufficient.

You also can't just rent a post box somewhere to get around announcing your address. The address has got to be a "ladungsfähige Anschrift" which means that it has to be the place where you live.
I can't even remember the last time Amazon had the lower prices than other online retailers. The cost of "free shipping" and Amazon's fees are very much baked into the price of each item on their site.
