Firstly, there is no hydroelectric resource left anywhere in the world, where you can build a damn of any significance. Except the Amazon, but that one is basically impossible.

Secondly, what makes this price of 5 cent/kWh justified? Does it allow reinvestment into new nuclear facilities to replace retiring plants? Does it account for proper processing, storage and disposal of all wasted without government subsidies and does it cover the grid maintenance? Currently US stores most nuclear waste in haphazard manner on site of most nuclear power-plants.

When you apply for a mortgage loan, having a steady income is one of the requirements for getting approved for the loan.

Suppose you are planning to move into a home soon. It's worth jumping in ASAP while you still have consistent income to show on your W-2 and loans are still being handed out. You can worry about making ends meet afterward (and doing odd jobs if you have to), but the hardest part is getting qualified for the mortgage.

The alternative is you keep renting, and then your income disappears. Now, it's hard to find rental housing because landlords ask for your W-2 and paystubs also, and you have few protections as a renter not paying their rent versus a homeowner not paying their mortgage. And mortgage payments and rental prices are not far off from each other in any market with half decent economic prospects.

Also, as history has shown, the US government will always go to bat for asset owners in order to prop up asset prices, and leave non asset owners out to dry.
All things being equal, people prefer to do business in jurisdictions with lower taxation. I don't see that as a strawman argument.
Out of the similar alternative, I think Plausible is currently leading in scaling and performance.

Per the article, the team would define activity, so presumably it should include some core functions and not just clicking in frustration. Second, low scores in this metric is designed to predict churn, which is a strong indicator of value to that customer. The article doesn’t spell this out, but if the activity is not predicting cancellations then it should be adjusted.
The difference is that computer-on-your wrist are personal. They got cheaper and cheaper as everyone started to buy one.

I can't imagine everyone buying a spaceship, or even 1 in 10.000 people, if spacecraft costs were 10.000 times the super-computer costs of the past.

So no comparable revenue-stream to further drive down cost.

>Brokers (the people who are ostensibly paid to arbitrage) are also not super interested in getting their client the best arbitrage deal, because their commission will usually come out lower.

AFAIK it works the other way around. The commissions might be say... 10% lower, but if you save time (by not having to maintain the listing and attract buyers), you can more than make up for it in volume. This was covered by freakomics a while ago https://youtube.com/watch?v=aFYlgqv3T-w
You are correct Apple Music has low margins (Less than 30%), but it also only has 40M subscribers, which is likely less than $5B in annualized revenues, or roughly 10% of total services revenues.

So $50B in services at 68% margins equals $16B in expenses, deduct $4B in Apple Music expense and you have $12B left. Deduct $9B from revenues for Googles search engine placement, $5B more in revenues from Apple Music, and you have $36B in revenues left. That makes gross margins for the remaining services, which the App Store is 40%, 67%.

You are correct in that 67% is closer to 80% than 50%, but still a long way from it.
In the US, we need collective action by way of class action lawsuits. Unfortunately, almost all terms of service now require you tp waive that right.

The change needed is a law that prevents waiving the right to class action. Such a law would be considered highly unfavorable to business and would not pass under a Republican majority/presidency. Consider who you vote for accordingly.

How does a rich person being rich harm my chances of becoming rich myself? Until someone can answer this, I'll continue to believe a wealth tax is nothing more than legalized robbery.

If it's a company using anti-competitive behaviors, attack that.
If it's unfair laws due to lobbyist, fix it.
If it's underpaid employees, figure out how to increase their pay.
If housing/healthcare/education is too expensive, figure out how to fix the system to decrease the price.

Government's shouldn't be allowed to pick favorites like this--especially from individuals.

The real solution to a shrinking middle class won't be solved by taking money from the wealthy and putting it into the governments hands. Governments do a poor job with the money they're given already. Why? because there's no competition in government. There's no one holding governments accountable for how they actually use the funds.

I think http://paulgraham.com/wealth.html is a good supplement to this.

Hello down votes.
Primarily due to poor management of the project. The best way to showcase this is through something called "testground".

Testground was an initiative started by Protocol Labs to create a solution that would be used for testing of IPFS at all levels of the protocols, while also giving developers an SDK that can be used to write new testground tests. The reason this was needed is because the before the Testground project was started, the last few releases of go-ipfs (the reference implementation of IPFS) introduced new bugs, and regressions. Why? Primarily because of the poor planning, poor test coverage, and overall poor project management.

So Testground development started and went on for about 5 months until the developer in charge of Testground development makes a post on a GitHub issue (https://github.com/testground/testground/issues/42#issuecomm...)

Tl;dr of that comment? Poor project management lead to a lot of wasted development time on Testground.

Irony of the whole situation aside, if this was an isolated incident it might not be so bad. But it's not an isolated incident, it happens all the time, and with every single project managed by Protocol Labs.

Interestingly enough this latest post from Axios caused me to come out of the woodworks with my own series of posts about how Protocol Labs has failed both IPFS and Filecoin. I briefly detail a few more of the problems here (https://bonedaddy.io/blog/ipfs/posts/failure-ipfs-filecoin-p...)
In Australia after some "on the box" features were no longer applicable to the product I bought, I was able to refund the product.

This has worked for;

- Consumer devices (cloud support dropped within the lifetime of the device, features dropped likely as a cost saving measure to the manufacturer)

- Software (features removed or culled after buying)

- Smart TVs (claiming support for different platforms)

- Gaming consoles (OtherOS on PS3)

This usually hurts the retailer - they don't want to risk going after the manufacturer because they want to sell their products. I've been banned from buying from one store after returning a product and then posting about it publicly, many others returned as well when they realised it was possible - I can assume some took advantage of this fact as a "I paid full price for this 1.5 years ago, it's now worth 50% less, I can return it and buy a better model from somewhere else" endeavour.
On Android, scrolling to top|bottom doesn't bounce back into final position. Rather, it feels like a lifeless, cheap plastic scroll bar that thuds into place with no intuitiveness.

I know this seems completely pointless and useless, but.. this same disregard for UX is repeated in other major ways. Such as allowing less-than-60fps scrolling on modern phones. Last time I used Android was 2016 or so, and the inefficient animations are probably less noticeable now, but I bet it's still inefficient.

Everything just seems way more thought out and well executed on iOS.
I think that might be stretching what it means to be fast. Wormholes seem to be about warping space. Rate of motion doesn't enter into it.
But does he still have to use your product? Although it’s better for him to have a more varied diet I thought kids mostly grew out of this fussiness. It would be terrible if he became dependent on your product into adulthood.
Human minds don't work that way. They learn, but not always what you intend for them to learn.

If the kid is white, possible learning outcomes include:

a. self-hate, leading to depression and self-harm

b. reading between the lines, learning that to be normal he must be racist against black people, because that is just how white people are

c. rage at being disfavored by every diversity initiative, leading to a desire for revenge

If the kid is black, possible learning outcomes include:

a. hatred toward white people due to being told that white people are to blame for all the bad in life

b. giving up on life because the world seems so racist that life is hopeless

c. deciding that if most people believe he is prone to crime, it is probably true or he might as well make it true

Most of the above will be recognized by both sides as "othering" that is enough to prevent friendship. That's what is being taught, even if not intended.

If you're in Australia: Refund your Oculus. If you aren't able to use the product without agreeing to new terms, conditions of licensing agreements - you are within your rights to return your product. Sorry to those who already invested in developing for this platform. Amazon is the main supplier, and they're usually very good for returns.

> If you’re the kind of person liable to get personally targeted for nation state level attacks, then you definitely are going to want to unplug your yubikey and keep it on your person.

Maybe yes, maybe no. Do you have a backup YubiKey? If so, then you need to keep it in a separate location (i.e. don't defend against losing your keys by putting both your primary and your backup on the same physical keychain). Are you putting it in a safe? What safe can you buy that is sufficient protection against nation-state level attacks? How often do you check your safe to make sure that your backup hasn't been stolen? What process do you have in place to revoke and replace your backup YubiKey in case you do discover that the backup has been stolen (do you have a list of every website at which you ever enrolled the backup, and how do you safeguard the list)?

IMO unless you are very seriously paranoid, you buy a "nano" in-slot YubiKey if your usage pattern targets a single machine, and a keychain YubiKey (with NFC) if you need portability between, say, your work laptop, your home desktop, and your phone. It's not a question of security but of your usage pattern.
nope.

FB can not be trusted. I'd argue they should be dismantled.

Time after time they have not only expressed views that are downright alarming but they have been actively repeatedly caught out deliberately flaunting the law and fucking their customers. (not to mention their Russian connections and their part in the election tampering in the US).

Google are a naught boy compared to the actively evil FB org.
This is the ultimate YMMV scenario, and heavily dependent on how bad the company wants you. At the end of the day you need to be in a place where you can walk away from any deal that doesn't make sense. Unfortunately people looking for jobs at startups are usually somewhat desperate.
By generic I just mean that it's a grand abstraction that people repeat a lot. Such discussions are repetitive because there are only so many things to say about anything that grand and general, especially on the internet. This leads to discussions that are predictable and quickly become nasty, and we don't want those kinds of discussion here.

"Taxation is theft" is not just an example of this, it's probably the most classic example, at least on the right. (The left has its, too.)

I keep reading what you write, and also was there (I used X10 at one point, and built the Athena platform from 9-track tape). I dunno...the whole screed strikes me as bizarre.

You say things like "Xlib will block" and "error handling is particularly gnarly in Xlib", when Xlib is only one possible implementation of the X protocol. There are other possibilities like XCB. I have no idea if it has the same issues as Xlib, but the inability to separate protocol from implementation speaks to a specific bias.

Further, you obsess over the use of the term "network transparency" like a previous generation used the term "commie", even cite up-thread "documentation" where the term isn't used. But no less that Jim Gettys used it to describe X11: https://static.usenix.org/event/usenix02/tech/freenix/full_p.... You might find it inappropriate, but it doesn't seem to be confounding vernacular to most other commenters.

I dunno...I think we've gone beyond butthurt because people didn't agree with you on the direction a project should go, to some obsession that has nothing to do with the technology.
Ok so you have no care about the subject, no care about either country, you saw it fit to respond.....

And yes one datapoint is all it takes to show you can die in Australia from a gun just like in the US and nearly, if not every, country on earth. What a wonderful thing to joke about.

To clarify they don't live "in Melbourne", they live in the outer suburbs. Sure, you can buy a 2BR apartment in Dandenong. Do you really want to?
I think it's pretty obvious how the languages were selected: they used all languages where data was readily available. And I think that's a pretty good choice, since there's no reason to arbitrarily exclude languages when the goal is to test generalisation across languages. (Okay, limited computing resources would be a reason, but Google can afford it.)

I agree that there should be some discussion on why transfer to certain languages is easier than to others (and maybe that's actually in the paper, I've only read the blog post so far). Language relatedness is one obvious explanation, but another possibility is contamination of the training data. It's rare to find Cantonese on the internet marked with lang="yue", much more often it's simply labeled as Chinese, i.e. lang="zh". That makes it hard to collect "pure" Standard Mandarin data that doesn't include other varieties.

This is a political and economical move, if this is how US and Trump wanted it to be, by forcing another company to sell into another local company then it would be a forced acquisition and this would make other companies to reconsidered to invest or build their company in the US.

By this rule, other country in this case China could also enforced banning on services and products into their market with the reason of "Security, Influence and State Control"
Well, wormhole is not about how to travel faster than light, but about creating a shortcut between 2 points in a certain dimensional space by using a higher dimensional space.
The most used explanation is using a piece of paper, the shortest route to travel between 2 points in a piece of paper is a straight line. But, we can shorten it by folding that paper and create a hole that connect the 2 points through the 3th dimension.

The reality is that Apple is under a lot of antitrust scrutiny right now. Like a few weeks ago, Tim Cook was testifying to congress.

And now Apple pulls this? Regardless of the situation, it's bad optics.

That said I would not be surprised if the court case consists of lawyers trying to define what exactly a market is in order to determine if various antitrust regulations apply. That's going to be a tricky and potentially precedent setting case.

I worked at Nokia Research Center for a while when it was still market leader making smart phones. My observation is that most companies that have a research center also have some level of disconnect between their main business and their research branches. The two just operate on different time lines.

More worryingly and problematic is that there is also a notion of "not invented here" where business units have very little patience for things coming out of research units because they weren't involved. It's petty and stupid and in Nokia's case a large part of the reason why Apple and Google ate its lunch. It's not that they did not have competing technology but that they didn't know what to do with it.

Corporate R&D works best when corporate leadership has some level of affinity with it. Elon Musk is a great example of a true R&D minded leader. All his companies are basically are R&D labs that happen to produce insanely valuable products as a side effect. It takes a certain type of leadership to funnel billions to the right projects and then turn them into successful products. It requires something most business leaders simply don't have: a clue. Elon Musk for all his flaws understands technology deeply. Most of his contemporaries in the car industry are clueless bean counters that know little more about cars than the number of wheels they are typically equipped with. I bet pretty much all of them had R&D labs 20 years ago working on exactly the kind of things that Tesla brought to market successfully. They just bungled turning that into product because of a lack of vision & technical leadership.
