They have been around for decades in the US as well. Industry uses far more electricity than residential, so the focus of managing peak use has been factories to shift energy use to off-peak hours, something that the average person would never know about.

On the residential side though, our utitly (Xcel Energy in MN), has a rate reduction program where they installed a power cycling device on our central AC unit that shuts it off for 10 minutes every hour.

Yes, I've been following Arctic Sea Ice News[1] for so long I atomatically read "arctic" as "artic sea". (And many people seem to think that the arctic sea ice melting will contribute as much as the landbased ice to the sea level problem.)

When the landbased ice in the arctic region starts melting in earnest we will have a rather large problem..

>In the case of 419 scams, a large proportion of the scammers may not be that sophisticated. It's entirely possible they really are just as dumb and incapable of spelling as a naive layperson would assume. The fact that "scam baiting" is a thing provides some evidence of that, although it's likely that many of those reports are fake as well.

Could be a case of evolutionary dynamics at play in the system. IF the typos mattered, then dumb scammers would have been weeded out.

Conversely, if typos help, then this phenomenon may actually have encouraged dumb scammers and weeded out literate ones that never thought to misspell.

Interesting, I'd expect the opposite - It's easier to be more cost / eco efficient when you have the money to. You can, for example afford a modern and robust car (with a great catalytic converter) and regular maintenance. You can afford proper insulation and home automation systems that shut down unused resources, etc. You can afford to pay for composting and recycling services.

I think home solar is great regardless of your transportation method. Those panels are putting power back into the grid specifically when demand is high due to air conditioning.

To actually run your car on sunshine, you'd need a battery system at home. But battery charging losses are greater than the local electrical grid. So it's most practical to use the electricity from the panels at the time of generation and nearby.

Here in Sacramento, SMUD, the local utility, has a "solar shares" program, where you buy into a solar farm nearby. It costs a little more year round, but it evens out your bills all year. You get credits for "your" solar panel generation, and you get to increase demand for solar, there are no installation costs, and no maintenance.

I think utilities are reluctant to give you time-based billing when you have solar in place. They don't want to pay you peak- or ultra-peak-rates for your solar power.
Do you have to wake up in the middle of the night to plug the car in, or can the car/charger system be programmed to run at certain hours?

weight of car would significantly increase, also aerodynamics plays a big role in cars in making them efficient. solar panels would reduce that too.

That would be great. I Hope to speak with you soon.
> However, during an unproductive daydream session, I realized that my solar panels would produce electricity during the exact hours that my car would be parked at work.

Possible solutions:

1. Buy an extra Tesla battery and swap the batteries in the evening when you get home from work. I know this isn't presently practical [EDIT: at home without special equipment], but the idea of swapping electric car batteries is being discussed for the future, to avoid long charging times.

2. Buy an exotic and very efficient home battery bank to store the daylight solar energy until it can be delivered (as charging current) to the Tesla after dark.

3. Shame your employer into installing a solar changing station at your place of work. Emphasize the terrific public relations advantage, don't mention the cost.

Your suggestion of feeding the grid is by far the most practical approach, because it's already an option in many places.
No, because their feature set is similar for many purposes, their stuff works well cross-platform and is free. The way I see it, VMWare was a one trick pony and the horse has bolted, and while expanding their offering in to virtual networking topology provision and serious hardware infrastructure provision has been tried, it inevitably fails in subtle ways.

Simply put: people need transparency in dynamic, modern infrastructure and they don't get it from 'put me in the middle' commercial vendors. Nor does the complexity cost of the mystical one size fits all virtualization solution magically dissipate when marketers invoke the ancient spirits of enterprise requirements.
> clearly defined functions that take arguments and return values?

Sure, but what are the types of those arguments and return values?

If you call what I describe an anti-pattern, you're basically saying that packages can only interact using primitive types defined in the language. You can reuse code, but not data structures.

I think that's too much of a limitation. I want to reuse code that defines matrices, and vectors, and interesting collections, and business model objects like mailing addresses and currencies. I want to make games that use a mesh type defined in one package and pass it to a collision engine in another.

Saying "you can't use any user-defined type in any public API" is an incredibly harsh limitation, and what do you get for that in return? The ability to bloat your application with multiple versions of the same library?

Google sites can work well, especially if you use Google docs. You can customize the UI to suit your needs, and organize into any kind of hierarchy you want.

There are a lot of widgets available, so pretty easy to get a 1st version up.

It has always been possible to legally export ITAR controlled technology. You just have to follow the correct procedures and get the correct permissions. A PITA to be sure, but I doubt launching from Mexico would pose any serious problems. Besides, it is not like they would be selling rockets to random people in Mexico, it would remain under the control of the U.S. owner until it was launched.

I live an hour from Kennewick. My very rudimentary understanding of the history of the area can account for at least a half-dozen tribes in the area, many of which were nomadic over a vast area and some of which are not represented by the Confederated tribes that were quoted in the article. So, can someone explain to me how a body gets returned to anyone without some forensic evidence that said body is related to those groups? This corner of the world may be a backwater now, but it was once crawling with Oregon Trail pioneers, fur trappers, explorers, and lots of distinct tribes some of whom were not allies. Are these federal laws really so naive to assume any body that isn't instantly recognizable as modern is automatically given to whatever group chooses to assume that it is theirs? Obviously all the local tribes should be part of such a negotiation, but to conduct no due-dilligence would be galling.
And yet, the equipment being used and destroyed and purchased in this "new Cold War" is almost exclusively Russian. Putin can't really fairly blame the West for invading Crimera, either.
It's easier to be more cost / eco efficient when you have the money to

Of course, but being more efficient isn't the same as having a smaller overall footprint. The point is that wealthy customers probably have bigger houses that require more energy to heat and cool in absolute terms, even if it's done more efficiently relative to poorer folks.
No. I'm not being clear.
Hire eg IBM global services to build you the solution. In the contract it states clearly, part of the deliverable is the source code that will be published under xyz license. Whether you hire IBM, Oracle, Accenture etc or do something a lot less moronic you insist on source and insist on being assigned the copyright to it and you publish it. Every time. Always.
That's the step forward I am suggesting. Not the linux kernel model of development. If such a thing arose for particular projects, great. But it's not a requirement nor the goal.

Around 2005 it became fairly easy to download, for free, practically any book. It might be coincidence that 10 of 13 of these Must-Read books were written prior to 2005.

Yes, it might be coincidence. Or it might be that the set of books written prior to 2005 spans 30 years (since the first Lambda paper), while from 2005 to today there's only been 9 years.

Even taking the date of the last paper as its publishing date (1980), if we assume that each year has the same probability of having a book on the list, we should expect only 9/34 ~= 26% of the Must-Read books to be published after 2005.

And as it happens, 3/13 is ~23%, well within a reasonable margin of error.

Notch's Ludum Dare video for Metagun (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZV-AFnCkRLY) was inspiration for a series of scripts I now use for clients and my own entertainment purposes (for some loose definition of "entertainment").

It's a series of shell scripts I use that screencap videos of coding and set them to music (so, for example, rendering a 48-hour coding competition to a 5-minute song, or as I more typically do for clients, render the development process down to a few minutes for them to watch in fast-time how their development was done).

It's called watchmecode (https://github.com/choptastic/watchmecode) and I just have to do

./make-av-video.sh /path/to/video.mpg /path/to/song.mp3

And it does the rest, and outputs it to "done.mp4"

The result is something that looks like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hwn7mfmo0SQ

In theory, the Indian nations retain a residual sovereignty within the U.S. as a result of massive abuse, various legislation has been passed to protect their burial grounds, artifacts, hunting, fishing, and water rights. As resources dry up in the Western U.S., there is increasing pressure to renegotiate resource rights. The Indians view our archeological expeditions as basically desecration of their history and religion. They take a pretty hard line stance against such activities. The Department of Interior is involved in its oversight authority over the Indian nations, and the Army Corps of engineers is involved by virtue of its construction of the damns and irrigation systems that make life out west possible (but also make possible the American settlements that put pressure on Indian resources). Those departments have enough to deal with without siding with some archeologists against the Indian tribes.

Keep in mind that interviewing is ultimately a human thing, and thus never perfect or rational (even though everyone would like to think their hiring process is flawless and as logical and unbiased as can be).

Prepare as much as you can, go in with your best attitude, etc.- but at the end of the day, interviews can result into a negative answer for something completely out of your control. Maybe you remind one of the interviewers of their ex-boyfriend, or they don't like your voice on the phone, or they've never used framework X but the guy they just fired was really into X and you put X as the first thing on your resume, etc. etc. etc.

Don't get discouraged- it's part of the game. I am starting next week at $(big large company where I've wanted to work since I've been a teenager), and that was after 6+ months of interviewing, talking to about as many teams, and hearing "we think we'd be really great at $company but the team you've just interviewed with isn't the right team for you" every time. Funny thing, the position I ended up getting is beyond what I could have dreamed of 6 months ago, and far more interesting+challenging than any of the other teams I interviewed with there.

There's also nothing wrong with working at a company for a year or two with the sole intention of getting better so you can re-interview with the company of your dreams.

Work hard, keep your long term goals in mind, and good luck :)

It's actually pretty easy: just do the job. Open your own blog and write. Cover whatever beat you are interested in. You'll have almost no audience at first, which is normal, but ignore that. Write as if you had your dream job.

Then, you can start submitting some of your writing to more serious blogs and news organizations. Work your way up slowly. For instance, to make it to the New York Times, start with being "reprinted" in Business Insider, then HuffPo, then NYT.

PS: be aware that there is very little money in journalism. As in, ridiculously no money at all. You can work really hard day and night and make $30K/year. Or write a php website and make 4 times more.

> Second, natural language IS symbolic reasoning.

If that were generally true, we wouldn't have bothered to invent mathematical symbolism and syntax. Natural language has any number of pitfalls -- "are you going to sleep or watch TV?" The "or" in that sentence differs in meaning from the formal logical "or" which would suggest doing both at once.

If I want to express the difference between time and space in relativity theory, I might say:

t' = t √(v^2/c^2)

With that equation I have said a lot, referring to the Pythagorean Theorem, orthogonal dimensions, and the constancy of the speed of light. To translate the above into natural language would require many more symbols, as well as the acceptance of much more ambiguity of meaning.

It's uncontroversial to say that, as we get closer to describing nature accurately, we use more equations and fewer words, and not because of an irrational preference for equations.
This is really cool! My question is: how much of the managed time philosophy could be bolted on to a functional reactive programming environment like Elm?
As a (unworthy, since I happen to use proprietary software accidentally) believer in Free Software, I tend to agree, but since that's unlikely to happen, I'd say all security-related software should be at least fully auditable by end-user. That is, there must be either 1) some form of human-readable (i.e. unobfuscated) source code and means to validate the built binaries to match the provided sources or 2) means to easily decompile the binaries to a human-readable high-level language and study their behavior.

That is, one of the first things this GlassWire app did is connection to its home server. It openly admitted that itself, but nonetheless, why it did so and what kind of data (~200+ KiB, that's a fair amount that probably exceeds any analytic and update-checking needs) were transferred — I have no idea and I'm too lazy to figure out.

> why would they take on a poorly paying second job?

This article seems to have the flawed premise that financial incentives are the only incentives, or at least the only ones worth mentioning.

I've put a surprisingly large chunk of my life into the book I'm writing and I've yet to make a dime. That may change soon once the print and ebook versions are done, but I don't expect to financially recoup the time I put into it.

But, I don't need to, either. Like many technical people, I'm paying my bills OK. Extra cash never hurt, sure, but one thing I can't easily buy is gratitude or appreciation. Writing a book and putting it online for free has given me that in spades. That's the incentive that gave me enough motivation to actually finish writing it. When I had a contract and an advance coming, the cash wasn't enough to get me off my ass. Feeling like my writing made a connection and helped people did.

If you want great technical people to write more, instead of buying more books, why not just tell them you love their work and would love to learn more from them?
Or perhaps their courses wouldn't benefit from a modular approach.

A whole lot of STEM builds upon foundations, plenty of which are built up as a course runs. There's also stuff in many courses for which the long term motivation is not clear, and might not even be clear if an attempt at explanation was made.

Once you get past certain points I can think of various fields where modularity might work. Math, e.g. when you have to learn a particular thing to attack another subject. Engineering where, after the initial principles, there are various applications. Biology, a wild, wild world which after getting a very solid foundation I study in a "just in time" manner because it's changing so quickly and it's not my field.
