There is no requirement that the grid requires "baseload" sources of power. The grid can operate with flexible sources of power that can ramp (gas, some hydro, etc.) in addition to wind and solar. If anything nuclear and coal, which can only run at 80-100% capacity or 0% capacity are inconvenient and inflexible sources of power.

The grid survives fine when nuclear and coal plants go offline for several days for maintenance/turn-arounds!

3D Touch is dead. It’s not in any of the current generation phones. Also in iOS 13, undo is swiping three fingers to the left and redo is swiping three fingers to the right. The shake to undo still works.

I actually think it’s easier. It’s hard to do a three finger swipe while holding the phone.

As a developer, other benchmarks I would like to see:

* compile benchmarks for different mainstream languages (Java, C#, etc.)

* IDE related benchmarks (i.e. how long does it take to index a large solution/workspace)

* source control conversion tests (svn to git). Obviously not something that happens everyday, but I've done it at two different jobs, and generally when it happens you are often converting many repos as an organization shifts its policy.

* maybe some VM/docker related tests

I'm probably asking for too much, but working on a micro-service system even with enough RAM my system becomes less responsive when I'm testing the interactions between services on my local machine. I'm also limited on the number of Java projects I can add into a single workspace in Intellij. I've been forced to open each project as a separate workspace and in a separate window.

Granted, I'm working off of a dual-core i7 laptop (with 32GB of RAM) but I want to know what kind of upgrade it would take for those problems to go away.

> Instead there are many gaming benchmarks which purpose is not exactly clear for me, after obviously gaming is not the primary target market for R9 3950X.

Well, it must be said that the 3950X has the fastest single-core performance of AMD's lineup, so while it is overkill from a core-count perspective, it's still technically their best gaming CPU.
Yet, so many people have made plans for what they will do when they win the lottery.
I do simulations for a living aka numerical modelling. The results that I obtain need to be explained using plots. How behaviour changes with time, how component sizing will affect xyz parameter etc.

What I would dearly love is some way to animate the systems I simulate. A way to show HOW MUCH flow is going through a pipe, or how much heat transfer is happening in a heat exchanger. Something that's easier to grasp than dull plots.

Sadly, a) I do not even know what to google to find solutions for this, and b) all my primitive searches seem to lead to Blender, which has a large learning curve and way too much time investment requirements.
To the point that the other states are rather wealthy, yes they'll be fine.

My real question is what do these states do? Continue to raise taxes? Even the other states in question are losing high net worth tax payers to places like Nashville, Texas, Florida, Arizona, etc.

Neither of these possible. I'm really at a loss at what these states should do.

I mean I use ctrl-w all the time in vim (delete word back while in insert or moving panes. Basically I'm hitting ctrl ALL the time). I also frequently hit it when I'm writing a HN comment or something. Though this actually isn't a problem because sometimes I just shouldn't be replying.

Edit: I do notice that pretty much everyone that does the caps remap is using OSX. Is this because most people are using macs or just because macs have different behavior? Either way, I'd rather use a vanilla command than a remap if efforts are basically the same (my pinky rests on shift anyways and it is easy to contract my finger. I also use ctrl-backspace when typing in HN and other forms).

I may have misread the various reports and press releases, of course. If so, please do correct me. But I believe that everyone, including Google and the medical group, has mentioned this data is to be used to train a ML engine.

My understanding is that the ML use is covered by the BAA. Of course, I haven't read it, so I don't know, but it seems likely.

Javascript was knocked up over a week or so. Sure it implements concepts from Scheme and other languages but it was certainly not "designed reasonably well from the start". Otherwise we wouldn't have needed books such as Crockford's "Javascript The Good Parts" to help us understand areas of the language to avoid/misuse.

> In my opinion, the default should always be zero.

This won't work well for a lot of cases. Imagine plotting the atmospheric CO2 concentration time series in the past 200 years. Setting the original point at zero ppm would not make sense because it can never happen. I'd say setting y axis original point at y min is a good trade-off since the plotting package is agnostic about the underlying nature of the plot.
Not only scientists. Politicians too. That would hopefully change the discourse to be more material and fact based and less retorical.

I absolutely love this film. Happy memories of fanatically rewatching the DVD as I pieced together the story and noticed little 'hints' in the earlier scenes, like when Leonard keeps shrugging the suit jacket around his shoulders because it doesn't fit him properly.

I switched from LastPass to 1Password earlier this year (after 5+ years of use) due to issues with LastPass stopping sync.

Ask HN: What does your development / test DB setup look like?
When I'm developing or testing a new app, I usually spin up a test database (I use Postgres) with the `createdb` command and then add dummy data using a series of plain sql files with `insert` commands. This works, but it can get tedious, particularly as table definitions change and the schema becomes complex. Curious how others have approached this.
AMD has been overbought by brand fanboys/"amateur investors" egging each other on (see: r/AMD_Stock) and is now effectively pricing in a massive amount of expected future growth. Probably decades worth.

For context: Intel currently has a P/E ratio of 13.57, which is 70th percentile of tech stocks. AMD currently has a P/E ratio of 201.89, which is 5th percentile of tech stocks.

AMD as a company has great potential in the long term, but still barely makes any money today. Like, AMD is hoping to double their server marketshare (only part of the company) by the end of 2020... which will take them to... almost 10% of the market. It's real easy to make big percentage gains when you have 0% share of the market. The AMD of 2016 had nowhere else to go but up.

What? The left wing is the one pushing hate speech as a crime. They are also trying to strip rights away like the ownership of guns because they don’t like guns. They are pushing for stealing even more wealth because apparently everything is a right now. Free houses. Free food. Free tampons. Free pets. There is no end to what’s free the left is literally Communism. Communism is literally authoritarian. While the manifesto doesn’t come out and says, “hey, we’re authoritarian” it has to be in order to direct the economy by picking winners and losers.

The right tries to strip rights too, don’t get me wrong, but the left goes to authoritarian just as much as the right.

The BitPay wallet is very easy to use. And many sites now use payment URLs, so it's basically just click the link, and hit OK.

I haven't seen anything in recent memory that doesn't use dynamic pricing. Many sellers say something like "this Bitcoin quote is good for X minutes". And the payment URL doesn't work if it's expired.

Yes, he may well improve some algorithm, or rewrite some commonly used tool to improve efficiency. And researchers are often not incentivized to do that, so it would be great. But a far cry from the picture people are painting about him soaking up the field and using his genius to solve some major problem quickly.

If by "techie" you mean, professional software engineer, that's fine, but there's no reason to assume that a professional software engineer is going to be magically better at AI research than... professional AI researchers? He's probably going to be substantially worse.

Also, your statement below:

> That's probably true. I look at this as Carmack running his own PhD program. I expect he will expand what we know about computation and the AGI problem before he's done.

Makes it clear to me that you don't really get it. Carmack, at best, might know enough right now to be in a PhD program. I doubt that he has anywhere near as much knowledge, insight, or ideas for research, as top graduate students. He's in no position to mentor graduate students.
Doing business with US customers in US dollars and interacting with US banks automatically places you under the jurisdiction of US laws.

Investigators in EU countries often work with US agencies because our laws are so much stricter, and often urge people under investigation to cooperate otherwise they'll turn over the case to the Feds.

Tom Hayes, of LIBOR scandal fame, spilled his guts and signed a confession after being told he might be handed over to the Americans. Then he tried the aspergers defense, followed by the "I only confessed because they threatened me" defense, but neither swayed the jurors and he got 14 (reduced to 11) years in a UK prison.

That's not unique to the US. Countries own their currency and regulate their banks therefore using them gives a country the right to control what you do.

This is grossly oversimplified but generally speaking, if I lived in France and started a payment service that accessed the Japanese banking system and performed transactions in Yen, I would be subject to Japanese banking laws as well as French laws.

Putting the cost on manufacturers and potentially breaking legitimate resellers just feels straight out of the Walmart strongarm playbook.

The only historical equivalent I can think of is the movements of crude oil through pipelines where if you sell one type of oil and get a different oil on the buyers end the pipeline owner doesn't get to wash their hands of the affair and say 'its just oil, buyer beware.'

Having been raised Mormon, it ain't surprising in the slightest that so many of these are concentrated in and around Utah/Idaho.

There are a multitude of factors at play here:

- Like you mentioned, door-to-door proselytism translates well to door-to-door sales.

- Mormon communities tend to be very tight-knit and immediately trusting of fellow Mormons, so once you have a critical mass of LDS followers selling your "inverted funnel", it's gonna spread like wildfire.

- The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints actively discourages any sort of rational individual thought, instead encouraging its members to "doubt your doubts" and follow the Church without question. This ends up serving MLM marketers well. The Church is America's longest-running and most-successful MLM scheme; to your average Mormon, this is all very "normal".

- The Church does its best to railroad women into being faithful wives to their husbands and mothers to their children, which (as you touched on) translates to emphasizing stay-at-home parenting over holding a full-time job. This keeps Mormon women busy for a few years, but once those kids are in school (and even moreso when those kids grow up and move out), there ain't a whole lot to do at home. Mormon women - being human beings with free wills, contrary to what the Church would want us to believe - are thus inclined to take up part-time jobs, especially ones that they can do without compromising the Mormon ideal of women-as-domestic-servants-to-their-husbands. MLM schemes tick all the boxes, or at least so their marketing claims.

- Middle America already has a strong predisposition toward distrusting modern medicine/science, so appeals to "traditional" medicine tend to be somewhat more effective.
Honestly, it could be at least partially that you don't understand relativity as well as you think you do. In many ways even special relativity is far more complex and at times counter-intuitive than is generally understood by people who have had a popular introduction to the subject and know the Lorentz transformations. That's to say nothing of general relativity which falls prey to oversimplified and disappointing analogy unless you are following the maths.

Quantum mechanics is not very amenable to learning by analogy. Especially in an example like this where you're following the evolution of a state vector back and forth and the trick is in how that state is manipulated. In some ways that's a plus. You can't oversimplify important details away. I personally thought this was one of the best pieces for teaching a QC subject that I've ever read. It's clear, it flows, and it's as simple as possible and no simpler.

Over the past 15 years, I've had the opportunity to work with more than a dozen MLM companies in the UK. This won't be a popular opinion, however I believe great quality products and a self-regulating industry can create businesses that are far from being a Ponzi scheme but are legitimate companies with ethics, great support and opportunity to earn decent money.
