The actual figures are a tested energy density up to 73 Wh/kg – thus about 28 percent of what today's state of the art EV batteries offer

So, no, this isn't useful for battery electric vehicles. Hybrids, maybe, for vehicles with an underpowered main engine and electric boost for acceleration.

... retaining 90 percent of their initial storage capacity after 10,000 full charge/discharge cycles.

So, not a good power supply filter either. 10,000 cycles of the power line rectified to DC is under a minute and a half.

There are applications for big pulsed power sources, but not that many of them. Flashguns for cameras. Aircraft carrier catapults. Nuclear weapons detonators. Railguns. Big spark generators. Most of the applications that need a huge power spike are military.
Being from a smaller town I'll note a _good_ bookstore is not always an option. I don't think my town has any first-hand bookstores (at least not anymore) so I have to drive 45 minutes one-way just to get to a B&N.
Yea automated sample preps are key for me. The main thing that is overlooked in synthetic biology about nanopore is it has the capability to dramatically lower cost of indexing, which turns out to be one of the main prohibiting costs for dropping the cost of plasmid production.
This has really nothing to do with Apple, and largely how our 5 star rating turned out.

For example I sell stuff on Etsy, I have about 50~ 5 star reviews if I get one 1 star review my average is now 4.92 which is still 5 stars. So it's really not that big of a deal, if I had say a 4.8 with 40,000 ratings a series of a 100 in a row 1 star reviews will do nothing to my score of 4.8.

If I for say had five 5 star reviews and got one 1 star review, my average is 4.3 which will show a 4.5 (or a 4 star depending on how they round) at the star rating.

If you are new you have zero room to get a bad review, even if you fix it. There are version reviews, etc that can fix that but, largely you're done.

I really have no idea of how to redo this, but I don't think people should be giving a 5 star review with a comment. There should be considerations, reviews after a certain time should expire, you should be able to mark reviews as fixed, etc.

I believe the current system is completely broken and needs to be adjusted a bit more then hiring some additional staff to read reviews.
Vastly better DOCX handling. A word processor and a spreadsheet that do their jobs thoroughly when you need that sort of thing.
Amazing ! Most of the Amazon's marketplace strategy is laid out there. It is incredibly consistant with what Amazon is today.
Ranging from focus on delivery time to wholesale accounts, including the importance of attention, it seems very complete to me.

I know Bezos letters to shareholder were thoughtful, but in 1997's edition, the vision laid was less consistent with what we experience today. (https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1018724/000119312513...)

And it is one thing to write a letter with hours of preparation, another to answer a quick video interview with such a clear view. This video is noteworthy !

At which point it matters at lot? It's why I haven't bought electric, as well as others that I know who do long road or wilderness trips somewhere. I don't want to spend hours waiting for a charge somewhere.

You have to provision vehicles based off outlier usage (I've used zipcar, normal car rental services, etc. - they are terrible during exactly the times I would need them most, like holidays and months it's good to travel or visit somewhere, and are not reliable), and try to not ruin too badly your 90% pctile usage efficiency while doing so.

If a vehicle is a huge hassle (or impossible) to use for what I'd want to do 5% of the year, I either need a second vehicle for that 5% of the year (even more expensive and maintenance heavy), or a single vehicle that can cover 100% of my usage.

Why is “lithium” a buzzword? A lot of products (especially Sharper Image and the like) advertise “advanced lithium technology” as if a rechargeable battery is a premium feature for a reusable product.
As others have said, use scrypt, but...

PBKDF2, obviously a less marketable name than scrypt, was a pretty standard tool for dealing with fast hash functions. What turned out to be a bigger problem than speed is memory use. Now that we have widespread GPUs, it's a lot easier to parallelize password cracking, and most cryptographic hash functions use negligible memory, so it parallelizes very well. scrypt also improves this.

I actually saw scrypt take down a website. It got attacked with brute-force password attempts (<100k, so it wasn't a serious attack), and the scrypt calls exhausted the CPU, essentially doing a DoS attack. We ended up wrapping the call in a semaphore to prevent this. You don't normally think about it, but login might be the most expensive operation your webserver does.
> I love SQLAlchemy but its syntax is a huge turnoff.

Out of curiosity, which part of the syntax? (Hopefully not all of it.) Personally I hate the declarative part (defining the model), but feel the query syntax is good, especially with some SQL knowledge (Django’s isn’t bad either but is too divorced to the SQL syntax to me).
But don't they describe the possible transitions? At worst, you can end up with an NFA instead of a DFA.

If I did it strictly for income, I would have gone out of business long ago. I am an iOS developer and I teach iOS development.

I obviously don't love every aspect of it, but still. Income is not a good motivator, especially when you are on your own. You have to like most of what you do, including the business side. I do write code, but most of my time is spent on text for articles, courses, emails, sales pages and video transcripts.

> [The commons] in a strictly economic sense, was not perceived as scarce.

I think this is crucial distinction that is missing from most folks' rhetorical use of "commons". Once the reality of scarcity is perceptible, some form of rationing will always take place, typically expressed as "ownership" (e.g., by the lord via enclosure, or privately via homesteading). As such, there can be no "commons" of a scarce resource. At best, the owner can permit actions which mimic those of a commons.

> The issue which I propose for discussion should therefore be clear: how to counter the encroachment of new, electronic devices and systems upon commons that are more subtle and more intimate to our being than either grassland or roads

I share the author's concerns, but the "commons" framing misidentifies the problem. Thankfully, a decade later someone did a more thorough job of it: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/fc-industrial-societ...
I mean nothing will ever be exactly another holocaust. I think that's the point I'm making. There will never be another German guy with a funny mustache in a brown suit, gassing an ethnic group in showers.

But here we have

- concentration camps and large scale forced detention and labor
- organized genocide (admittedly on a much smaller scale than the holocaust)
- systematic rape and organ harvesting

I mean if you had to assign some negative utility score to both events I'm sure you could easily argue the Holocaust was worse, but I think that misses the point. Once you check all of those boxes, you are dealing with the same category of thing.

This is how it more or less works in my country but you do have to file a "active repentance" form and spill out of your misdeeds. Otherwise, anything you tried to hide, will work even harder against you.
Those speeches can be also quite valuable, if you are for example running a conference. Few big name speakers can do a lot to attract paying visitors.

Just a local example. Nordic Business Forum[1] has had for example Barrack Obama as speaker. They have maybe 7k visitors, ticket prices are around 1k-3k€/person. They tend to be sold out well in advance.

Few years old list of per speech prices for high profile speakers [2]. For example Obama $400k, Tony Blair $200k.

Where did this idea that SAT/ACTs have some secret backdoor that you can unlock by being rich come from?
Where Are the Shares?
To the latter part of top post, for a billionaire utility value and expected value are equal as if he gains or loses a few million it doesn't matter. For smaller player they can be completely different, yes a few thousand can be a good income gain, but getting caught can mean they get completely ruined.

So if expected value of tax cheating in vacuum is - lets imagine - 20% of the amount of taxes cheated, billionaire should cheat on taxes in every situation, as they simply gain 20% on average. Smaller player shouldn't, as even though their expected value is the same, their utility value can be completely different as they might take a risk of ruining their business and losing future income and hugely lowering their quality of life.

edit: and also for small amounts the way down is much harsher on the utility value, so being a favorite to gain 10k might not be worth it, if the possible -15k means your lifestyle suffers.
Youtube RSS still works well, me and my buddy use it to monitor things instead of using whatever interface youtube has decided today, combine that with youtube-dl and you have a great experience.
another issue I don't see talked about much in these comments is trust. Amazon had to develop a name that people could trust. I remember when people would agonize on whether to make a purchase because they were afraid they would be scammed.
Speaking fees turn prestige into money, and money into prestige. People that are more famous than rich get a little richer; institutions get to associate themselves with those people, and be the kind of place where you might see those people. A simple transaction, if a bit grubby for injecting money into social capital relations.

That all seems fine! Most speaking fee arrangements - even with politicians - seem to me to be in this mode. Are there cases where kickbacks or bribes are given as speaking fees? Sure, elsewhere in this thread there's discussion of no-name doctors (who happened to prescribe lots of Oxycontin) giving lectures to empty halls for hundreds of thousands of dollars seems like a bribe. But that's because the no-name MD is getting _way_ more than the going rate for his status!

When the speaker is already well known, the institution is already getting something for its money, so overlaying an implication of clandestine, speculative (retroactive?) quid pro quo is an unnecessary over-read.

Also, like, Barney Frank is on the board of a bank. Chris Dodd asks 40-70k to speak. Mike Oxley worked for NASDAQ. These 'sinecures' don't seem like they're conditional on passing laws that Wall St. likes.

Really fell downhill after season 3 and the switch to Amazon. Went from an incredible high concept sci-fi story to just run of the mill Hollywood action drivel.

the typical billionaire can easily go to another country (and immediately get a passport if they wish). it helps looking at this not just from an US/Western pov but how Chinese, Russian, African billionaires are quickly feeling at home in places like US[1], UK, Switzerland. There is a lot more money to be made (and washed) in places like Africa / Asia that requires a "safe haven"

[1] the US today is one of the biggest tax-havens in the world (source: "Treasure Island") and the OECD crackdown on the usual suspects (Cayman, Channel Islands, ...) never hurt anyone since the US really just wanted a slice of the off-shore pie (which anyway exists whether with or without the US as a tax-haven).
Definitely cool from a tech standpoint, but what is the value proposition here? I get that smaller = better, but why should I invest my engineers time in optimizing size using the results you output vs delivering new features or bug fixes to customers?
I get that the connection between each gate wouldn't be as uniform as in storage. I guess my question isn't can the exact technique be used, but rather the same principles/ideas.

I guess its hard to etch all the different connections between gates if they're not uniform?
I seriously doubt NYU will have it's reputation damaged by this. The vast majority of people do not read beyond the title of the study and I garuntee you that this will be cited ad-nauseum in every censorship or manipulation debate for years to come. It doesn't matter how flawed or biased the arguments in the study are because it's conclusion is exactly what people on the left want to hear.

To add to the sample size of n=1, a few months ago, there were many articles about “nano diamond” batteries that will supposedly solve the radioactive waste problem. Dave Jones of EEVBlog debunked it pretty quickly: https://youtu.be/uzV_uzSTCTM

Basically, every few months, a company comes out with claims that battery tech or e-waste has been revolutionized, but it’s always a bunch of bunk claims made using a multitude of weasel words.
I often think of political spin. Great politicians don't need to lie or even to misrepresent facts. They just have to present actual facts that highlight some narrative.

It seems to be a fact that limiting or preventing buy orders would benefit hedge funds. So we can spin the fact that they prevented buy orders because it benefited hedge funds.

Another fact seems to be that Robinhood needed to cover its margins and required capital to do so. So the new spin is that Robinhood prevented orders because it needed to cover margins.

There is no real truth anywhere, just competing narratives. Slowly the prevailing narrative is changing from the first to the second. Some people are choosing one story over the other as the Truth. There is no doubt some actual paid PR going into both stories. My own opinion is that in cases as complex as this, there is no real Truth that fits any promoted narrative.

"online"? That would be something on a newsgroup, BBS, usenet or public FTP. It wouldn't be something served over HTTP.
I don’t disagree that high income makes success easier, but I don’t think degree requirements for employment or the ability to afford a prestigious school is the reason.

While the US has schools with expensive price tags, it also has respected affordable schools, and a mind-boggling amount of financial assistance available.

I would wager that the biggest indicator of success is not household income or college of attendance, but the resources and quality of secondary education. Navigating the college entry process is probably the biggest hurdle for capable students who grow up unprivileged.

As a counterexample, there are plenty of highly educated yet lower income people in the US: families with employment in the arts, humanities, academics, etc. The children in these families are not excluded from higher education — they simply have the knowledge to navigate the financial aid process.
I don't see any realistic way to expand manufacturing capacities at that kind of scale in such a short time. There are a lot of things that are potential bottlenecks because the stuff you need isn't produced at that scale and there aren't unlimited numbers of people that have the right experience. And with producing a vaccine it is extremely important that the production results in exactly what you intend to produce, to ensure it is safe and effective. That part is done by designing processes, carefully checking that they work and then strictly adhering to them. That is not an activity that is easy to scale up.
The author comes across as someone who didn't try applying for college and hates everyone that did. The hypocrisy of the entitlement displayed in her first narrative definitely weakens the argument from the get-go.

None of the points are particularly convincing, mostly because she picks the base for each of the statistics as whatever best supports her argument. She starts out only talking about elite colleges because that's where she can find corruption and proceeds to pretend that it reflects the entire degree-granting community. "Case studies" 2 and 3 are both the same argument.

The last point about degrees being an indicator of on-the-job success is actually saying that 2/3 of people with degrees were considered successful by their bosses. Whether 2/3 is good or bad depends upon how it compares to employees without degrees, a statistic conveniently left out.

A degree isn't supposed to be an indicator of on-the-job success; it's supposed to be an indicator of ability to learn, adapt, and manage your time when you are on your own.
In terms of Hybrid cloud (launched in 2011 if memory serves) it's more of a 'connect the tech to the buzzword' process, one in which IBM assignes a buzzword to tech its had for decades. Same process with 'cyber' and 'cognitive computing'.

IBM is too slow to actually develop anything ahead of the market without acquisitions.
Season 3 was the absolute pinnacle of the show and some of the best scifi ever on tv. It completely blew my mind, and I’ve watched my share of Star Trek, Stargate, Babylon 5, Farscape, BSG, etc over the years. It completely pays off for the buildup of seasons 1 and 2.
By hybrid cloud they mean Red Hat. If it doesn't work out the crisis will impact much more than IBM.
My dad lives in a small town and runs a couple of businesses. Last year he spent $24,000 on Amazon. He ran up $3000 in refunds and replacements. And despite being 4 hours from the closest airport or hospital, they still get everything delivered for free in two days (or sooner). He thinks Amazon is simply a modern marvel, rivalling any other invention or service out there.

Living in the city, I think it's easy to quibble and groan about their offerings or subtle changes in their service quality. But sometimes it's helpful to step back and marvel at the sheer scale of what they built.
Trekkie here (more or less). I like The Orville better than Discovery. Discovery is down-right disappointing and stupid. Picard is better than Discovery, but still didn't live up to my expectations.

You're probably right about Battlestar Galactica and The Expanse being the best hard sci-fi.

It's hard to beat the episodes/stories in the earlier Star Trek shows. The Twilight Zone was able to pull off a faithful modern reboot, why can't Star Trek?

(Someone else mentioned Planetes further down in the comments. That is also good hard sci-fi.)
their bets are long-term. same date 13F filing for Melvin Cap show short bet against GameStop as well, so we can safely assume they are on the same short side together.

Unfortunately, Season 6 will be the last Season of the series :( They've stated they are sticking to book 6 and not trying to cram the last 4 books into 1 season. The speculation is there will be "movies" for each of the final 3 books, but that's not confirmed in any meaningful way.

Magic links are fairly common (slack does them), although some people have a bad habit of forwarding emails which can be considered a security issue if links work multiple times.
I assume this, and the whole Robinhood boom, has been amazing for Citadel.
I have to second this. The parties motives, Mars and Inaros, make so much sense. Hard to convey that level of detail and complexity in a TV show. They managed to explain most Mars motivation rather well so, in the arc where Bobbie is chasing black marketeers.

I could imagine, so, that season 6 will answer most of these questions.
