Peak energy density is not the only measure for practical battery.

If you look at cost and performance you will see massive improvements year over year. Those improvements will continue.

> Scientists are making the mistake of chasing hype, not practical gains in energy storage.

Actually they are working together very tightly with industry. The Battery 500 consortium consists of research where many of them have a commercial partner and their research directly influences next generation batteries. You literally couldn't be more wrong.

For the Li-Sulfer they are targeting batteries for DoD and NASA that will be very useful and practical for lots of use-cases.

> Fuel cells are on the "S" part of the cost reduction curve. Despite the difference in funding, we will see extremely fast forward movement in fuel cell technology due to this.

Many technologies don't get adopted. I have not seen a falling cost curve anywhere in fuel cells. The fuel cell cars are still incredibly expensive, 100% not competitive and not getting rapidly cheaper. Fuel cells get pushed by China, Korea and Japan governments funds far, far more then any intrinsic cost curve that is happening in the market. Even after decades of constant investment by Japan, they have barley made a blip in the market and when they appear at all they are heavily subsidized all the way from research to the fuel stations.

In the linked article, Assange's own witness says that the Obama DoJ decided against prosecuting him.

> "He said that credible sources had stated the Obama administration had decided not to prosecute Assange, notably Matthew Miller, a highly respected Justice Department figure who had been close to Attorney General Holder and would have been unlikely to brief the media without Holder’s knowledge and approval."

I have never seen any evidence contradicting this, despite lots of people on the internet saying the Sweden EAW was part of a US conspiracy.
Actually, 2x2s are often or usually 1⅜" x 1⅜", which is rather annoying at times. I'm not sure if that has always been the case, but these days they're mostly only available in finger-joint spruce/fir/pine (presumably from offcuts of larger sizes), which might have something to do with it.

(Unlike solid 2x2s, which tend to twist and warp so much as to be completely useless, finger-joint 2x2s are super stable, and always come dead straight.)

In Oregon it is highly unlikely to recur at this scale and speed. This year was a very mild year for fires in Oregon. But, a freak wind event turned fires only a few acres large that had been burning for weeks into 100,000+ acre fires overnight.

As the decades roll on I imagine that as things get hotter and dryer one shouldn't bet on anything.

HTTP logging can give a pretty strong indicator of time spent on pages (not perfect, but good with large volumes) as well as navigated routes through the site already.

It would seem to me that the only advantage of this technique is to track mouse movements on the page in a very low resolution, and likely labour intensive way. Low resolution because it only works the first time on each page load, and is going to be tricky to get any meaningful granularity on the data.

I am not particularly concerned about this but my privacy concerns are definitely lower than the general consensus of this site. I only compare to HTTP logging as this is the most hidden/covert way of tracking users.

I'm not quite sure I agree with the premise that a software is not to be considered "finished", until the moment it is abandoned.

There's a lot of software that I wouldn't want to use, if it doesn't at least still receive regular security updates.

I'll dare to go out on a leg here, and claim that a software that has a complete and stable set of core features probably can be considered "finished" - even if it still is under active development and receiving new features.

I've found that FP using function composition or other higher order forms of function like composition mitigates the design problem that you and many others complain about.

Essentially in FP you design your entire program as a single immutable function expression that's made out of a pyramid of layers that's constructed of smaller closed lego like functions composed together. People in the FP world call it the point free style.

The type signatures guide the architecture of your program and can easily be replaced decomposed or recomposed into higher or lower forms of abstraction without compromising your overall program. Design comes naturally like building something out of legos... Easily configurable, and minimal planning or need to hold the entire program in your head. If the design is wrong like legos your program is easily reconfigurable.

The main factor that allows lego like design is immutability. A lego that mutates state outside of its own scope is a lego piece that cannot be modular. FP by making everything immutable makes your program legos all the way down meaning your smallest primitive can likely be broken down further to reuse in other places and recomposed to form other higher order abstractions that are easier to reason about. In both OOP and procedural programming your designs can never have this level of flexibility due in to modules being tied together by shared mutable state.

Of course there are costs to immutability: both low level costs such as memory management and high level costs such as graph algorithms that require mutability to be effective. There are ways to deal with these issues but they are not trivial. In the end all FP programs must "cheat" in some way and have a small portion of their program actually mutate something.

Overall though, in all my years of programming I have found FP to be the best overall answer to the design problems that most programmers run into. It's by no means a perfect answer but it is the best I've seen and unfortunately not applicable to all domains.

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish You (The Social Dilemma)
Microsoft perfected the idea of control of competing software. The idea was a simple 3-step process.

Embrace: Create a high quality, "free", copy of a useful idea (e.g. the Java language).

Extend: Add new "features" that only worked in the MS version (J++)

Extinguish: Flood the market, requiring J++, to drive out the competition.

Now, the FAANGs are doing the same thing... but to people.

Embrace: Wow, look at these useful "free" tools: email, browsers, cloud storage, group meeting, etc.

Extend: Upload all your data to the cloud! Link all your data! Use your data everywhere on everything (provided "everwhere and everything" are from one company... MS Store, Apple Store, Google Drive, etc.)

Extinguish: You no longer need local storage. Everything about you is "in the cloud". You computer is now just a "window on your world"... MS will update it when it wants. Chrome will. Firefox will. To quote from the TV show "The Outer Limits"...

There is nothing wrong with your television set.

Interesting Idea! This seems like an elegant but somewhat expensive solution. Does the power consumed by pumping tons of air 24/7 offset the ecological gains by the system? If this can stop microscopic plastic than it would probably also stop microscopic creatures. Are there shore based ecosystems that rely on those creatures coming to shore, or vice versa?

Anyways still seems worth trying.
> Meanwhile, I’m still dealing with Linux-loving colleagues who cannot get their sound or webcam to work reliably and consider this an acceptable state of affairs.

This isn't so much of an issue anymore in my experience. Older webcams and sound cards that work flawlessly with Linux often don't work with newer Windows versions, though.
I often wonder why, in open source, we don't see the logical divide between architects and developers.

Why aren't there architects writing down the requirements of operating systems and defining their architecture, and, separated, developers working from these designs?

I also wonder why we see so few new ideas in the OS space. From a user's viewpoint, it seems little has changed since the first Unixes were born.

Deaths lag infections. People take a long time to die. This naive way of thinking that infections are going way up but the death rate isn't and so it was all overblown keeps playing out again and again, and it needs to stop.
I find this slightly less evil then standard tracking, because information is not shared with a third party.

That being said, I think there's a line. If you use it to gather the exact same info as server log's, except with bot's filtered, that seems perfectly reasonable.

If you use it to track everything a user does on your page, that seems fairly evil.
The README.md contains install instructions for Debian and Ubuntu, these tend to outdate (not work) quite fast with newer versions of the distributions. Also if any of the low-level libraries BLAS, LAPACK or ARPACK updates, then the wrapper might not continue to work with newer versions or is stuck on a legacy version including bugs and security issues 4 ever.

In his defence the abstract starts by talking about mice, which is a bit confusing. Sure they talk about patients as well but it's not immediately clear that mice can't be considered patients. If you read on it becomes clear though!
Maybe the technical programmers just aren't in a place where their talents are valued and used effectively? Maybe you found a great place that's a good fit before they did?
I completely agree. I gave it a decent amount of thought and pulled the trigger, and went with YAML.

Not because I think YAML is the ideal end target for the datasets. Likely it would be best represented in a database with a custom CMS and outputted in a more robust format such as XML.

Though considering that the current archives for the indigenous languages are primitive in their documentation, I think YAML will get the project started.

It is just ever so slightly easier to get contributors started.

As the project matures (and before it gets to complex), I will convert all the YAML datasets to something more appropriate and build the tooling to handle it in tandem.

Again, you are correct, and I will add my reasoning to the current documentation.

If there were ever a panacea, it would be fasting. The more tight and widespread the research becomes, the more that we prove what humanity has known anecdotally throughout civilisation.

From being a Roman cure for epileptic seizures, through the integral practice in most religions, and to the 21st century where we start to prove that it increases both healthspan and lifespan.

I find it quite interesting that something so simple, which practically anybody can do, can have such a positive effect on one's life. You are literally healing and regenerating yourself by doing nothing! And instead of compounding medical bills you actually save money!

Thank you modern science for validating my no longer fringe medical beliefs :)
CSV is a very bad example. Yes, it is easy to throw together a simple regex to parse simple RFC4180 CSV strings, but Excel is its own black box with a huge number of hacks.

For example, en-US excel will automagically parse TRUE and "TRUE" to be the logical value TRUE. The way to get Excel to see a literal string TRUE is to make a formula ="TRUE". Many CSV writers implement this hack specifically assuming files will be read back in Excel. So now your parser, if you're trying to process data like Excel, has to do the same.

So then you discover that this is actually localized! If you set your UI language to French (France), Excel will treat VRAI and FAUX as booleans while TRUE and FALSE are treated as literal strings.

What you thought was a simple CSV parser now has to handle localization as well. So that CSV parser library can roll its own dodgy localization support, use a tried and true solution, or just choose not to support the feature. Each choice has its own drawbacks

> proving or refuting a plausible story about a synthetic biological weapon made by specific peoople in specific laboratories is a matter of espionage and investigation, not of scientific evidence.

Okay, fair enough, we'll call it forensic evidence. Either way, the arguments stand on their own merits. You can't dismiss a prosecutor's entire argument as "anti-defendant propaganda". The only people who would ever go to the trouble of building a case are the ones who believe the defendant to be guilty.

Call it science or call it forensics, but the same principles of evidence and truth apply. Evaluate the argument on its merits.
>t feels like hackerspaces and certain scenes still have the same energy of the web's early days.

I'm not so sure. Maybe 10 years ago. I used to be involved with the hackerspace scene in the UK but I got sick of the politics. Like all subcultures, past a certain point it starts attracting the sociopaths.
On the contrary. It worked in mice, so they tried it on humans; turns out it works in humans too.
I wish that once people do name their project, they would assign it a 128-bit random number in lower case hex, and include that number on any web page that they would like people searching for their project to find.

That way once I know that say PEP the PDF editor exists and find its 128-bit number (let's say that is 379dd864b16eaca3ce94c15a6bdfcc73), at least I can subsequently toss a +379dd864b16eaca3ce94c15a6bdfcc73 on my searches to effectively let the search engine know I want PEP the PDF editor results rather than PEP the python enhancement results or PEP the entertainment portal results or PEP that refreshing beverage company stock symbol.

"xxd -l 16 -p /dev/urandom" is a handy way to get a 128-bit random hex number. A UUID generator works, too, although they usually include some punctuation you will need to delete and you might have to lower case their output.

At the time people were essentially upset that it misrepresented hacking as cool, where actually it was geeky. Today it's easy to take for granted that people understand personal computing, but there was a time when most adults didn't know anything about them. Those of us who did wanted to spread that understanding, and it was nothing like the street fashion and colorful animations of Hackers.

There's also an East Coast / West Coast dynamic involved. West Coast hacking was optimistic/idealistic about depth of knowledge and engineering, and East Coast was more cynical/realistic about social groups and control. Compare Apple to Facebook, the Homebrew Computer Club to 2600 magazine, custom hardware to script kiddies. This movie is a hip Hollywood take on the East Coast scene, while War Games and Sneakers are West.

Hackers was originally a guilty pleasure, but it's aged very well. I was happened to watch it again last week, and organizing a global DDoS to take down a command and control node for an industrial control virus and prevent a terrorist attack was a bit ahead of its time. Part of the visionary magic was directly involving the community, particularly Emmanuel Goldstein of 2600.

I wish the business side of it was doing a better job though. There has always been a cult following that they aren't tapping into... The original may be a poorly typeset laser printout, but why has there never been an official "Trust Your Technolust" poster?

> As far as the regular person is concerned, calling the person most responsible for the widespread adoption of a technology the “inventor” is probably more right than wrong.

I really don't see how it would be so. They would be the marketer. Case in point from your example: nobody considers Jobs to invent smartphone, touchscreen, or really any other technological piece. He's credited for the iPhone as a concept that for the first time combined the separate, already existing pieces plus marketing.
Bill Bryson's book Made in America, although mainly about language (US v British English), also deals with many false and/or disputed claims about who invented what.

On the language side, it also points out that many "Americanisms", oft-derided by certain sorts of English people, are actually nothing of the sort, but rather original English retained in American usage.

An entertaining and informatie read, in my opinion.
If it’s wind / solar, absolutely. A compressor for that canal run is probably using 1-2KW/h, comparable to a small shop. If the compressor itself is cooled by the water you’re even putting back some of the sun or wind energy that would have gone into it :)
Fasting has been practiced for millennia, but only recently studies have shed light on its role in adaptive cellular responses that reduce oxidative damage and inflammation, optimize energy metabolism and bolster cellular protection. In lower eukaryotes, chronic fasting extends longevity in part by reprogramming metabolic and stress resistance pathways. In rodents intermittent or periodic fasting protects against diabetes, cancers, heart disease and neurodegeneration, while in humans it helps reduce obesity, hypertension, asthma and rheumatoid arthritis. Thus, fasting has the potential to delay aging and help prevent and treat diseases while minimizing the side effects caused by chronic dietary interventions.

I disagree. I think that software is only finished when new features are not being added. I believe it is possible to watch for bug reports and fix them, which means the software is still maintained, but in order to be finished, I think users can expect that the only updates will be for bug fixes.

That said, I am not sure it's possible for a library to ever be "finished" in that sense; maybe only programs can be.
