There will still be a need for admin/bureaucracy with BI. Some people will need extra benefits because of their circumstances and people will have issues (e.g. suddenly their payments stop).

Homes for Sale in Roswell GA
Work really doesn't scale linearly with servers with this type of business. I've known my current tenants for quite some time and they aren't "needy" or problem users, which makes my job easier.

I'd also either need to purchase a new cabinet or move into a cage -- which is not really an upfront cost (or the headache of contract negotiations) I want to take on for a hobby business. In either case, I'd have to start running my own switches (and god forbid router) and while I roughly know how to administer both, those are better left until I have more time to devote.

On the flip side, I have toyed with racking up a few 6U blade servers (~50 blades total) and renting those out as unmanaged, 0-support servers. The problem here is its a race to the bottom with blades and I'm no Softlayer or OVH and can't buy these things at hefty discount. I have worked out the math and after the first 3months, if I sell at least 60% of the blades I'll be paid off and the margins are significantly higher than my current servers.

If Ein-Euro-Jobs were used by Germany as a wage-dumping tactic then the euro crisis and consequential unemployment rise in the south of the continent would lead to increase in the number of people in Ein-Euro-Jobs in Germany. Now, since these people are counted as unemployed for statistical purposes this would mean unemployment figures in Germany would be soaring, too. However, the reverse is happening.

Unfortunately, you've left out some of the details necessary to answer
your question. The big two big questions are:

(1) What are you testing? (e.g. hardware?, software?, firmware?, ...
--and more detail is better)

(2) What are you trying to automate? (e.g. an oscilloscope?, a Logic
Probe?, network throughput? computational load? memory usage? algorithm
efficiency? a software bug test suite to find regressions? ...).

Other useful questions are:

(1) Does your company do experimental/research work?

(2) Is your company using "Agile", or "TDD" (Test Driven Development),
or some other organizational methodology?

(3) What are your constraints? (e.g. do you need sub-millisecond timing
resolution?, are you limited to particular interfaces/buses like Serial,
GPIB/HPIB, SCPI, PCIe, USB, Ethernet, ...?, do you need to use
emulators?)

(4) Does your company have an existing test regimen?

(5) Is your middle name Tim?

OK, that last one more than just a joke; it's actually a trick question
and it serves a point. The best test design and automation engineers

Of mice

The mouse is a puny animal; its name, mus, comes from the Greek, the Latin word deriving from it. Others say mures, mice, because they are produced ex humore, from the damp soil, of the earth; for humus means earth and from that comes mus, mouse. Their liver grows bigger at full moon, like the tides rise then fall with the waning of the moon.

I feel a little bit of cargo-cult in the article. The fact that someone spends money to go in some crammed place depends on a number of factors like the touristic quality of that place (which is mostly related to its history), on how's it being promoted outside, on how different it is from other places (with a zillion of details that makes the given place it special compared to other ones), and many other factors. The fact that it is crammed may even not be important at all!
I think it's like $10 a month? Plus all the services are super cheap. I went to visit my family there, and went to a dentist for a cavity filling. It was very clean and professional, as much as any dentist I've been to in the US. The cost was $6.

At those prices it feels pretty much free. You no longer view health expenses as this weird financial burden in your life; instead, it just financially feels like buying a burrito or fixing your bike.

This is very significant for Panasonic's new direction. They now partner with a startup that takes on a IPR policy radically different from the Panasonic of the past. Panasonic's R&D engineers used to be measured internally by the amount of patents filed and the company had a large presence in every significant patent pool.
In addition it means that one of Panasonic's key manufacturing expertise will be located overseas, which is also a radical departure to the mindset of keeping core manufacturing as 'black boxes' in Japan. However this may still apply to components that are integrated in the Gigafactory.

Vitamin D and Sleep Quality
In our case it's something like five tons of cellulose. It's supposedly a good buffer against summer heat getting into the house but it doesn't really store heat to release it slowly when the temperature goes down again. I can imagine it works well high up north but here I think it would make it more difficult to control the temperature. It's one of the reasons why we have chosen a wood-based construction using I-joints. We do have a concrete foundation slab, screed everywhere and ceramic tiles on the ground floor.

The big stratified water tank is a well known concept but you need to have room for such a big tank. Here in Belgium space is at a premium so houses tend to be on the small side. Solar thermal panels are often connected to a tank of 500 litres or less, simply because of space constraints...

There are several possible construction models; it's a matter of selecting one that fits your local climate and your habits. Not everybody likes a stove for example.

The last couple of years we've seen a shift happening from applying the passive house concepts on new houses (pretty much a solved problem) to renovating existing ones. Here in Belgium there's a massive amount of old houses constructed before the seventies/eighties which is when they finally started putting in insulation. Now that all new houses are energy efficient it's time to tackle the massive waste in those old houses. Most people buy such an old house and start renovating so there's a lot to be gained.

The actual identification of individual songs is done using the Echonest API (they have a huge database of song hashes).

Before this can be done however, the placement of each song within the audio track as a whole needs to be determined, which is done with a combination of ffmpeg and C. Currently this process is quite slow and inaccurate - I'm trying to learn some ML theory at the moment with the hope of improving it!
Indeed it does not, this is about Tesla's and Panasonics 'gigafactory' which will make Lithium-Ion batteries in a cylindrical form factor.

Lithium Polymer batteries (or LiPo for short) are a special case of Lithium-Ion batteries. They are sold in a 'pouch' format (and they are not the first to use a format like that, for instance, in the polaroid cartridges there used to be a battery in a similar form factor (polapulse)).

The reason why LiPo batteries are not so constrained in shape as their siblings is that the electrolyte is a liquid. Solid electrolyte batteries are typically much more constrained in terms of shapes.

This is also why regular car batteries (lead-acid) can be block shaped, the acid is also a liquid.

The polapulse was an interesting battery, it only had to fire the camera 10 times but was quite high current. The packaging constraints of the cartridge dictated the battery geometry and so a flat pouch like battery was born.

LiPo batteries exist in all kinds of interesting shapes and sizes too.
I found some of the business arrangements interesting, though maybe not surprising. I think those are the real new details of this release.

First, they'll be producing 50GwH of packs, but only 35GwH of cells; so they'll still be dependent on external cell manufacturing for a sizable portion of the packs.

Second, that it sounds like Panasonic will basically own and run the cell part of the factory; as opposed to Tesla or a joint venture purchasing the equipment and making the cells themselves.

My first guess was that it was a base 36 encoded integer. But I cannot seem to generate the next in the sequence by adding 1 (or 100 or 1000) to the base10 equivalent, so I assume this is more complex. Maybe part of this code is a check digit or check sum (Luhn mod N maybe)?

I'd love to figure this out. Does anyone recognize this kind of encoding scheme offhand?

The only thing I noted was that the first letter always starts with A!
Personally I do not understand the utility of "pmap" - seems interesting, but in practice there are really few scenarios in which it is actually useful. And btw, the given example is extremely awful. Yes I understand it's trying to simulate a long running computation, but that's the problem - if you want to parallelize long running computation, then pmap is not what you want.

About that ADHD part... I have ADHD but I don't have problems focusing for extended periods of time as long as the task is mentally engaging.

I have problems starting and switching tasks. In fact, my inability to switch contexts delays the task stoppage, allowing me to focus longer!

Many ADHD patients don't have problems attaining focus, but actually only directing it.

Not related to your point and probably supports it (I'm a good programmer because I hyperfocus, what some people call being in the zone). I just wanted to point it out.
Yes. When you have no hammer you don't recognize nails.
The big win is they enable lazy evaluation: you can defer the evaluation of an expression until it's needed, or discard the result and compute it again later, or cache the result of an expression and not need to re-evaluate, a flexibility which can be useful in many situations.

You also get undo/redo stacks basically for free, since you simply maintain references to the previous n immutable states.

As Om demonstrates, they also make possible significant optimizations of code that takes various view of the same underlying data, like rendering routines.
They say so in their announcement: “and for the stationary storage market”

A huge growing market will be batteries in homes. Germany is trying to push it to go from 30% of photovoltaic self-consumption up to 70% (when the sun shines, people usually are away at work). The excessive electricity is sold to the network.

This requires between 5 and 10kWh storage capacity (compared to the 50+kWh of a Tesla) for a single family home.
The current price is about 20€cts/kWh for the storage over the whole lifetime. So it is not economic yet, but it should be within a few years and I hope that Tesla will contribute to it.
Solar costs about 15€cts/kWh and electricity from the network is around 25€cts/kWh. When solar will reach 10€cts and storage 10€cts/kWh, the market will be very important.

I used to be a government contractor so I am well aware of the challenges of integrating the various systems. The challenges are almost never technical I mean consider your argument here you essentially have a system connecting multiple databases that needs to retrieve and reformat the data then store it again. That process is not complex even at the scale they are doing it ( 8 Million registrants, even 350 Million wouldn't be a problem for most database systems )

Yes documentation is always lacking and there is some reverse engineering that needs to be done, and yes there will always be some stupid wrinkle in the process, but this is a well understood problem and claiming its a challenge due to "Legacy Systems" is just a way of justifying the over 100% overhead that the government runs.

As much as I'd like not to have to hide anythings, society currently gives me no choice.

With the way society is currently designed, full personal transparency is pretty much social suicide.

Society was designed with some basic expectations of privacy. For example, we rely a lot on passwords and secrets to "prove" ownership and identity. Full transparencies implies that all my private keys, all my passwords, my credit card number, everything that is meant to be private is available to anyone. In a society that relies on no such concept of private knowledge, we wouldn't have this problem. But that's not the case right now.

The example above is just one reason why people shouldn't surrender their privacy just yet, and wait until the environment and context make it convenient. That said, we won't reach that state if we don't realize and accept that privacy is not we should rely on in the future. There are steps to take to make transparency practical and fair, and solutions like the ones mentioned in the above article are not any of them.
