> offshore has continued to get cheaper

What is the cost of an offshore generation plant that can produce power with the same reliability of a nuclear one? This needs to get into the equation.
To me dreams are visually alike the real world. Sometimes I struggle to remember if a particular memory happened in dream or real life (provided nothing too wacky happened).
Since no one else seems to be doing so, I’ll do devil’s advocate: this is a really good idea. The last thing I want with an expensive phone is to give it in for repair and find it’s been stripped for parts and replaced with low quality knockoffs. Apple doing this makes me more confident giving it in for repair, because I know that when I get my phone back all the parts in it are still real.

There are enough horror stories out there of cars and computers having their parts removed or replaced with older / cheaper ones when in the shop - if an article had been posted about this we’d all be asking why Apple didn’t do a crypto verification of all system components on boot.
We do ship energy across oceans though, in oil tankers and as coal.

A better counterargument would the suspicious number of wars, invasions and military bases involved in cross-country energy exchanges (ie, there is a lot of fighting over oil in the middle east). It seems remarkably foolish to source energy from territory controlled by a foreign military.
Hello member of "limps occasionally" club.

For me it's syringomyelia which sometimes makes it extremely painful to put my foot down (best I can describe it is that feeling of hyper sensitivity you get after pins and needles where you don't want to move/touch your foot) but it's so variable that some days I walk normally, some days with a limp - I normally just tell people who notice that I sprained my ankle because it's easier than explaining what a syrinx is and that there isn't any cure beyond medication.

Almost 80 percent of the countries were under lockdown which has caused a ground-breaking impact on the worldwide economy. Where the number of businesses is losing their customers and revenue due to this devastating situation. Consumer's buying behavior has changed dramatically they are also afraid of the current situation business sectors are shut, necessities are unavailable or being at low rates, many people have lost their income sources.

As referenced above, many businesses have shut down or delayed their marketing on both traditional and Digital Marketing platforms for a time being, referring to the wellbeing worries of their workers. If you are on the Digital Marketing side, what you will have in the end is radically diminished online traffic, engagement, conversions, and pushed down hunt positioning.

> Frozen shoulder is almost certainly a manifestation of TMS, at least for some large number of people. For those who understand the mechanism, it's clear that 2020 is going to be a bad year for people in terms of chronic pain. It doesn't need to be.

I like Dr. Sarno's work but his thinking around TMS is IMO the weakest part.

The main insight is really just the fact that a lot of pain doesn't reliably map to any physical conditions. Beyond that we don't know too much. We can infer the brain is involved but not necessarily how. Dr. Sarno takes a psychoanalytic approach focusing on repressed emotions and so forth. But one can come up with many other explanations. One's ideas about pain itself may be a factor.

If deep seated psychological problems were to blame it wouldn't explain how so many people get tremendous relief by simply reading the book.
That is where the nuance lies, in not reaching immediately for a library when you have a problem, explore the problem until you understand the solution then you know if the library is a good fit or not.

Half my battles with my team are them wanting to pull in dependencies, sometimes it's crazy like a wrapper dependency to pull in a different dependency when it's simpler to just pull in the indirect dependency and use it directly.

It's very much a thing that comes from experience though, when you've been bitten by upstream enough to be a little circumspect about it.
Capacity factor isn't the issue as much as correlation.

2x nuclear plants with 50% capacity factor due to planned maintenance can work fine, one covers the other.

2x solar panels with 50% capacity factor due to night is a problem, because now something else is needed to deal with night-time power.
Sure, something like that can happen... but it is not like they have an explicit "allow-list" of domains that mail can be received from. These might be the biggest providers but if me and my friend who do not use their services want to communicate, we will always be able to do so without them.

I have many domains that I use to send and receive mails, and I have personally never had these issues.

Now if I did have a gmail account, I suppose I would have to check the spam folder regularly. But I don't have that problem with my server, it affects their users more so than me.

That bankruptcy was exactly the kind of deal you are advocating - one where the state of California would buy the company if it could make certain milestones on it's bankruptcy (one in June and one in September).
Good point, thank you! I have the bad habit of editing posts for a few minutes until they're done, and posting raw versions as I'm working on them. I should probably stop that.
They had actually reinstalled the cracked screen before giving it back to me.
The personal attack is unnecessary - if you’re really suggesting that me calling Tucker Carlson’s show “the most racist show in America” is a sign that I lack integrity then I don’t think you’re a person worth engaging with.

I suppose you’ll determine that a Media Matters link is inherently untrustworthy but Tucker Carlson is racist garbage, by far the worst racist on Fox News (!), and the only reason to defend him is if you yourself are racist garbage: https://www.mediamatters.org/tucker-carlson/tucker-carlsons-...
It is not bias at CNN, it is that the conservative media and pundits have spent so long working the refs that people who do not know any better assume the bias exists and continue to parrot the point.
It kind of feels like the same problem OpenStack had, and failed due to.

That being said, OpenStack is technically still around, so it's not completely "dead". ;)

I'll be contrarian. This is a mixture of:

1) Stuff I'd learn by reading Hacker News, after a few months

2) Stuff I'd learn on the job, after a few months

I'm not downplaying that it's important to know, but it's like converting a set of free blog posts into a $5000 university course.

Is that an efficient use of student time or money? Probably not. They're better off getting a summer internship, and getting paid to learn agile (and learning it better! working on an agile team will teach a lot more than listening to a lecture), or reading the anecdotes while procrastinating real homework, and posting in forums like this one.

It's okay that courses at a university do little to prepare people for some realities. Courses are designed to teach big-O, differential equations, database architectures, the math of machine learning, and similar sorts of things where there's enough theoretical depth that you CAN'T pick up elsewhere.

If a software engineer enters industry without knowing linear algebra, odds are they'll never be a data engineer in a serious ML project, or even more so, work on serious ML themselves.

TL;DR: Content looks useful, but it's an counterproductive use of tuition dollars and student time.
I have experience in publishing and have edited some very complicated pieces in my time so I imagine that I look at this situation (and the draft of the Greenwald article) through a different lens.

On the subject of the Hunter Biden emails, there are a lot of problems with reporting on them. The first is that when you look at the full spectrum of Giuliani’s involvement, the laptop genesis story is a little weird. The second is that copies of the hard drive have not been widely disseminated to news rooms.

The laptop genesis story is relevant and the Greenwald article needed to devote more analysis just because of how weird it is. And as for the hard drives, journalists have their own sets of egos and biases.

Both of those points are relevant if you want to question why the media isn’t reporting on them. The laptop genesis story is weird enough to call for fact checking and verification but the hard drives aren’t available. Sadly that makes for weak articles and removes any exclusive coverage motivation to cover the emails.

Where isn’t that balanced?
Interesting. I guess it's the Rachel Maddow / Tucker Carlson / Alex Jones defense, then:

> Media lawyers note this is not the first time this sort of defense has been offered. A $10 million libel lawsuit filed by the owners of One America News Network against MSNBC's top star, Rachel Maddow, was dismissed in May when the judge ruled she had stretched the established facts allowably: "The context of Maddow's statement shows reasonable viewers would consider the contested statement to be opinion."

Presumably it would "save" you because your end tax would still be lower (as people whose multi-million dollar homes comprise only a fraction of their wealth would subsidize you). It's a bad idea for a bunch of other reason, though.
According to the article, this phenomenon is most obviously manifested in the humorous expression “own the libs”, and not, say, by shrieking scaremongering about fascism and comparing the other side to the Nazis.
I'm sceptical to how much evolutionary pressure we can see evidence of going back just 100 000 years or so (at the point when we became truly social creatures, I think culture, passing on knowledge, technology and ideas became much more dominant for survival/procreation than mere genetics).

That said, I think the theory that you need someone awake to ward of nocturnal predators (be they human/homid or animal) has some merit. Being eaten beforepuberty does tend to cut a genetic line short.

Ed: a counter example of "modern" evolutionary pressure would be sicle anemia/malaria. A "technological" fix would be mosquito nets, relocation to a part of the world without malaria, etc.

Or eating koka/coffee to stay alert on late watch.

> You can do the exercise (I did) of going through every muslim country on the map, from Morocco to Indonesia, and lookup the recent political history of that country on wikipedia. In every single of these countries, no exception, either:

Do you consider Central Asian countries muslim ones? (At least until very recently) these countries (especially, Uzb.) brutally supressed any Islamic attempt at gaining any sort of power. I read elsewhere Uzb. now is trying to "liberalize" its politics with respect to "religious freedom" among others.
It's a simple linear function, and the delta Y has enough digits to overcome significant rounding error in comparison to measurement error.

In this application no rounding is needed either since the difference between rounding and truncation is also not significant.

You don't need the computer to do any of your multiplication or store any table.

You can start from a sufficiently low reference point, then add delta Y as you increment X.

Xref + deltaX = Yref + deltaY
The thing is that it isn’t that prevalent! Please look at the link I posted with the data - almost every ethnic group listed has less than 1% prevalence. The group it is most prevalent in is Ashkenazi Jews (3.4%), who have an unusual history that discouraged cross-ethnic relationships for millennia, and who are prone to many recessive genetic disorders that would have otherwise been more diluted. These mutations are not so prevalent because Ashkenazi Jews needed them to survive European persecution: they are the consequence of said persecution.

There really does not have to be an adaptive explanation or an adaptive “coincidence” like you suggested with the founder effect. Please please please please look at the data.
So common in fact, like language, it becomes a prescriptivism / descriptivism thing ...
That is just the observers being impatient and failing to understand evolution or exponential growth.

The USA is on a path to become Amish. They have 85% to 90% retention and about 8 kids per woman.

Exponential growth clobbers any sort of linear change. The subpopulation with the highest growth rate will quickly displace all others, and then that growth rate becomes universal.

Japan is not an exception. Japan is temporarily in decline. Look carefully though, and you will identify subpopulations in Japan that have high population growth. Some might only have a thousand people today, but with exponential growth they win in the end.
Add a random delay 0-60 sec delay for the jet air. This would create a fear and whenever she would sit there will think about jet of air coming any moment of time and now you can remove the machine after 1 month when your cat is trained.
Though the article brought out some interesting facts about Portland, I don't know why they didn't consider going 500km north. Sure, it's a little colder, and outside major cities not always well integrated, but it has all the attributes they were looking for, while being a lot less bonkers.

“Forced hysterectomies to own the libs”
Ask HN: How do you stay consistent in the face of other interesting things?
My biggest problem is I am inconsistent. I've been trying to "fix" it: setting smaller goals, doing a little bit every day, etc.

But as soon as a have a solid plan, which I am sure can take me to the next step in whatever it is - this knowledge, this certainty causes me to lose my interest.

It seems the only constant thing about me is the thrill of discovering something new and unknown. As soon as it moves to the "known" - I lose interest in it.

This mindset, this kind of character is really harming my long-term well-being, and I must admit I don't know what to do about it.

Has anyone had similar experience? Has anyone succeeded taming it?

What are the areas where this approach would provide the most benefit Vs SCMs and Bayesian Networks? What are the trade-offs?

Linking to their tutorial notebook:
https://colab.research.google.com/github/deepmind/deepmind_r...

Questions:
1. Has anyone used a package like "bnlearn" in R to guide the structure learning of one of these starting from data?
2. Would be curious about their relationship to CART models, Random Forest models and Causal Decision Trees (http://nugget.unisa.edu.au/jiuyong/CDT-Revision.pdf)
3. This feels like an important limitation Vs SCMs: "A system of transformations akin to the do-calculus is entirely absent and left for future work. Such a system is necessary for addressing questions about identification, i.e. whether a causal effect can be estimated from observation alone"

> Is this an adequate punishment for the thousands of families decimated in the US and the Middle East? How many people have to die before it can't be brushed away with "we're sorry"?

Out of all the actors who pushed for illegal wars and ignored war crimes, you'd have to be crazy to give the NYT the majority of the blame. If you trust their apology, they've been sloppy rather than malicious.

> The emails have not been disproven.

Just because some parts are true doesn't mean what right wing media makes of them aren't conspiracies. I'm very certain this story will disappear after Tuesday and there won't be any legal repercussions whatsoever.

> You seem to have erroneously accused me of defending Fox News.

You equated them by calling them all bottom feeders when it's painfully obvious that they operate on different value systems and level of integrity.
My plan is to watch China do it, they're currently aiming to be the world #1 nuclear energy producer by 2035. They probably have the infrastructure experience to pull it off. It is an interesting experiment and it'll be fascinating to compare it to the German Energiewende to see which is more effective.

Fair market value vs. strike price
Our 2 year old startup had a 409a valuation to, amongst other things, set the strike price of our options. The board held back significant amounts of information, including the total value and fair market value. The strike price was set at 1.25 per share, after they had suggested numerous people would get a price of 1 per share. Come to find out, the fair market value is .90 per share, which puts the value of the company at less than what they originally told us and to me shows some shady behavior.

Is it typical for a strike price to be set so much above fair market value? Is it usual to not divulge that information to share holders and optionees?
Ironically, a lot of the world has seen the USA do this to everyone else for a while too. Too a lesser degree to their anglophone friends of course but the rest of the world is alien and unlikable all the same (with just as little arguments as you see in the political divide).

I suppose one could argue that the isolationism/tribalism has simply expanded inwards as 'the rest of the world' has already been put in the 'other people/cultures' box and only internal boxing up of each other remains.
The electoral colleges have their criticisms but they prevent the largest cities from determining the vote for everyone.
The interesting thing is that the claims about fascism at least have the possibility of being true while "owning the libs" betrays its own disingenuous purpose of not even trying to make a point other than winning against the other team.

It's misleading to say the editor was asking to change the message. The opposite: it's clear to me Greenwald did not clearly communicate the intended narrative of his piece, so the editors thought the article lacked focus.

It's like telling Greenwald, hey you added functionality that was not originally part of the design doc. That's fine and all but now test coverage is diminished. Heres a few tests to consider so you could strengthen the robustness of the code. To say editors were overstepping their bounds is silly.

Greenwald went on a morning show yesterday morning. He admits his journalistic philosophy is unconventional; he started off as a blog and was recruited into media. That's fine. I build a few side projects in my free time and I love it because there's so much freedom on how to structure your code. Greenwald feels the same way about writing his pieces, so he will feel right at home in the blogger universe.
We have had a lot of problems with frequently updated tables. Is auto tuning really that hard? Or is pg’s philosophy not to “auto” anything?
I know that many people like to construe the myth that police is somehow lax or in bed with "lefties, islamist" or afraid of being labelled racist, islamophobia or similar.

However the reality is that immigrants are disproportionately more subjects of police brutality and arbitrary harassment, and there is plenty of evidence. All recent scandals of police ties to political groups have been associations with far-right groups. Just look at the recent scandals in Germanyab nazi chat groups inside the police, connections of police to nazi groups and leaking of hidden addresses of immigration lawyers to right wing groups.

> software engineering and software architecture/whatever is currently fashionable. The former is about customers and the latter about the people who write software

Huh, that naming seems backwards compared to the construction of physical buildings. Architects work on the design of the building (what is going to be built) and interface with customers. Civil engineers work on implementing the architect's design, figuring out how it is going be to built. They work with both the architect (upwards) and the construction people (downwards), but not with the customer.
Well yes, there's a wide gulf between voicing concerns about conduct and rhetoric, and being combative simply for the joy of watching your opponent suffer.
