How are CNNs directly based on FFTs? Sure you can use CNNs with FFT features, but in my experience this is not common.
Why not? Its just a function of availability/price.

Assuming some conservative numbers of 1kwh of batteries costs 100usd and can do 2k cycles, that results in extra 5cents per kwh.

With the day/night cycle the utilization could be around 50%.
Offset by only roughly half of your electricity needs to be stored.
Sunless days would be pain though.

Imo if combined with cheap solar can be competitive.

FWIW my current electricity provider already applies a 1 cent/kwh surcharge for "peak capacity assurance".
Also because it's economically inefficient and fertile ground for rent seeking parasites.
Worse than that. They used the murder for hire charges as part of sentencing even though they were never proven.

> do the laws give the president the ability to block a foreign company in such situation?

Yes, Congress has given the President the power to “regulate, direct and compel, nullify, void, prevent or prohibit, any acquisition, holding, withholding, use, transfer, withdrawal, transportation, importation or exportation of, or dealing in, or exercising any right, power, or privilege with respect to, or transactions involving, any property in which any foreign country or a national thereof has any interest by any person, or with respect to any property, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States” [1], “to deal with any unusual and extraordinary threat, which has its source in whole or substantial part outside the United States, to the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States, if the President declares a national emergency with respect to such threat” [2]. This is the power that Trump is purporting to exercise.

I believe it was actually 3 people: Phil Wilson, Craig Wright and Dave Kleiman.

Phil left the project and deleted all evidence in 2011, when the FBI was getting involved. Dave died in 2013, and in 2015 Craig started to proclaim that he is Satoshi. The problem is, Craig is the least technical and least stable of the trio, so almost no one believes him.

The source for this info is actually Phil, who comes back in 2017 to tell his story at
http://vu.hn/bitcoin%20origins.html#bitcoin-origins

Of course there is no hard evidence for this, so almost no one believes him as well. But I like the story, and matches some of my priors, so I'm sticking with it.

There is also the ongoing lawsuit of the Kleiman estate vs Craig, for the Tulip Trust, a large cache of bitcoins they mined together. The jury trial is scheduled for October 13, so that might also expand on the story when it's concluded:

The closest hackerspace is 30km away from me. I'm not complaining but a world without single family homes would also mean that people can't have personal workshops and therefore there must be public workshops nearby to compensate. Each city would require multiple maker/hackerspaces.

It's the government paying. Up to a fixed amount. But most high earners are in a position where the company will pay the difference as a perk.

If it were companies having to pay, that would probably lead to some aversion about hiring people without children in the right age. But that's probably an aversion lots of companies in other countries have about women. "Will they have kids and leave the workforce soon?".

I strongly believe giving dads a lot of paternity leave is good for equality. Of course dads should have the same opportunity as moms, but males taking paternity leave has an indirect good effect on woman in the work force as well. No longer is it assumed that they will be gone for X months in their 20s/30s, compared to men. Some argue the rules should be "X days, split as the parents see fit". But that is what historically has put the pressure on the man to work and the woman to stay at home.

Hi, founder of hCaptcha here. Happy to learn more about your problems with hCaptcha. I'd like to see what we can do to make it better for you.
Precisely. We should not censor platforms that enable effective free speech to occur. TikTok is the one place that you can post a political video that doesn’t get removed within seconds for “violating community standards.” It’s blatantly obvious that the American big tech companies such as Twitter, Facebook, and Google are propaganda arms of the US government that employ specialized algorithms to censor thought provoking content and further specific political agendas. A platform like TikTok is, by nature of its origin, resilient to that.
> But how do you explain the need for a "whole system" just to run one application?

Well you see, Linux culture doesn't really consider the concept of "system" and "application" to be independent. Everything has to be built to work together or the whole thing catches fire and explodes. Consequently, its easier to build entirely different systems for every single application and package them all up together than it is to try and get them to work on the same system.

Weirdly, they seem to think this is a good thing.

This is a wonderfull news, as this 28 days of paternity leave will affect the child during ALL his life.

So many old father say before they die this :

You never eat someone say :

I don't know if you ride in the same black cabs I do, but the cabs are vastly better than most offerings from Uber, since the car is designed for transporting paying passengers - it's easy to get in and out of, there's loads of room in the back, the seats are somewhat comfortable. With Uber, if I have to cram myself into yet another Toyota Prius I'll cry. And yeah, black cabs have been accepting contactless payments for ages now.
The domain name should definitely still be first. And there are benefits to using a different syntax for domain names than for email addresses, so you can differentiate the two when they're presented out of context (e.g. on a business card or ad).
> Fed government could simply order all federal employees off tiktok or any other service without legal hurdles.

They already have [0]. Federal employees, however, do have personal cell phones. There have been multiple cases of militairy information being leaked through Facebook posts [1]. Also, these people have conversations with their significant others, who also have personal cell phones. Recently, a list of PoI's leaked from a Chinese data collection company, some of which were children of people in power [2]. It is not completely unthinkable that the phone of a child is hacked and is then used to compromise the home network of an influential person, or something like that.

I'm not saying that TikTok would facilitate this, I don't know. If there's any intelligence indicating that it's a possibility I fully understand that there is a response, however.

Elon Musk Wants to Hack Your Brain [audio]
Great article. Would like to see this become a reality.

I'm not so sure about this idea though, if Microsoft would ever take this path, it'll probably be far far in the future.

I think Microsoft releases and Edge version for Linux in an attempt to get Linux users on board to use their products. People using this will probably be less reluctant to try other Microsoft products as well.

Edge is based on Chromium, which is already Linux native. It probably took Microsoft minimal effort to release a Linux binary as well, making this a win-win situation for them.

Now to strengthen that argument; Microsoft did not release any other enduser software for native Linux yet, such as Office or other Windowws native tools. At least, I'm not aware of any. Maybe this is something they'll take on in the future, only one can dream. Now I know there's .NET Core and PowerShell, but I'd hardly call that enduser software.

At the same time they're working on various things that seem like a vender-lockin. I'll give two examples.

The first is the Windows/Microsoft Store and UWP. More and more applications (and AAA games) are released through this store as UWP apps. These UWP apps (and the store) cannot be emulated (yes I know Wine is not an emulator) on a Linux host at this moment and function as a DRM layer, nor do I think this will happen anytime soon.

As second example, take DirectX. Microsoft recently showed plans for supporting DirectX on Linux (https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/directx-heart-linux/). There's a catch though, this only works on Linux in WSL, locking you to a Microsoft Windows host.

It seems to me, these aren't here to enhance Linux, nor to brighten the path to start using Linux more under the hood. These things only appeal to Windows users, and it rather seems like Microsoft is attempting to lock users to Windows hosts to me.

Obviously I don't know where they're headed. I sure hope more and more Windows software will become usable on a Linux host, and I like the idea of Windows using Linux as true kernel.

This might sound like a rant, but it's not intended to be. Just wanted to extend yourarticle with these notes so everybody can come up with their own ideas on this topic.

By the way, the comment box on your website seems broken.

I love discussions about nuclear power because they do a really good job showing how the HN demographics are no better at being well reasoned and logically consistent than any other demographic.
At least one split layout would be nice too.
FWIW I made it quite clear I was addressing the general principle of how sexual intercourse might be rape even if consent was seemingly given (that 'consent' being ignorant of the facts, and ignorant of the law). And also addressed the question of why a country might seek prosecution even when a person didn't feel they were raped.

I assume from what you're saying that Assange did not have (or have reason to believe he had) HIV at the time of the alleged rape? Which would of course rule out this love of reasoning in this case, but would not make my response to the OC incorrect.

The other nice thing about Web Monetization is that you can use it to divide earnings to content providers on your site through probabilistic revenue sharing [0].

I have been using it for the last 3 months and it is simple to implmentent and helps support an open standard.

The concern on basing payment on length of the site visit are valid and something I think will need to be addressed at some point. People will try to game it as it gains acceptance.

Awarding the length of visit also isn't aligned with the goal of all types of websites. My site is a web search engine, and the goal is for people to spend as little time on the site as possible because it means I sent them to where they needed to go by giving them the right result quickly.

I do hope it gains greater acceptance.

>No, you don't need storage for multiple weeks

You have seasonal, and inter-seasonal variability in a solar and wind output. You need to account for that, in an economy that requires orders of magnitude more energy then being provided by renewables and is still electrifing. What do you mean it's silly?

I've seen a few articles now where a baseline required battery storage is on the order of weeks. What do you mean a few hours is all that's required? What if you have a multi-day cloudy, wind-still weather? What do you do then?????

>size your panels for the seasonal minimum, attach batteries

No. You need to over-provison even for minimum seasonal output, because even in seasonal minimum you still need to charge your batteries. Winter is very long.

> only hours worth of batteries

If you don't mind constant blanks during periods of prolonged reduced wind/solar output...then sure. I don't what 'few hours' means - there's a day-night cycle every single day. Multi-day and highly variable multi-weeks where solar and wind output is minimal or none are relatively common.

Here's what should give you pause and maybe make you reexamine your confidence - nobody is actually building out a solar/wind/battery infrastructure - nobody. We're essentially expanding natural gas use and complementing it with solar/wind (there's a reason why Germany is singing multi-decade contracts to ship Russian natural gas, and why every natural gas company is pushing renewables). Natural gas is not a transitional technology to renewables. It's the end-state for renewables.
