Have an uncle who works in power. The way he tells it the power companies are happy with supplemental power during peak loading because peaker plants are unholy expensive, but said companies are worried about what is going to happen when everyone is doing it.

It's like electric cars & the gas tax. Electric cars are great! But gasoline taxes paid at the pump are a major source of funds for road maintenance, and electric cars pay none of them. That's ok for now because so few people have them. And that's not to say we don't want electric cars. But we better figure out how to handle them before half of the population is driving them and the DOT is faced with a major budget shortfall.
I read a book recently that went into some detail about tokyo police's methods regarding a series of murders in the 1990s/2000s. In that account at least they didn't seem very compentent in their investigative skills - they were largely focused on getting confessions from people. Probably not relevant to the MtGox case.

I couldn't either until 3 months ago( being from the 3rd world and all that), then I discovered total immersion swimming. It was my life long goal to learn to swim I am glad I finally got around to it.

Now I can swim laps( with pauses after each length).
Perfect! Learning to swim is never boring.

Bonus, a swimmer's physique is often rated the most attractive type. Eh? ;)

If you read the actual histories, including Churchill's own accounts and biographies of Churchill, your conclusion might differ from Eric Margolis'. Churchill came up with the daring plan, sure, but the execution and implementation were botched pretty much across the board by the military commanders responsible for carrying it out. They were largely unwilling to commit to the venture with the necessary speed, focus, and commitment necessary to see it through. They kept dragging their feet, ignoring Churchill's urgings to speed up and deal with minesweeping while they still could. Basically the result was a true disaster but it really wasn't Churchill's. Churchill was the only believer in the plan, basically. So the plan was doomed. Go read the histories.

This is pretty cool, thanks for sharing. I may start using this to browse HN all the time, since it does have the one feature that I miss from the normal site, e.g. highlighting new comments since the last time I viewed a thread. It also appears to autoload new items? I assume this must be cookie/session based, but I'll have to look at it.
The only thing that killed happy dense urbanism in the USA is 50 years of weird mortgage and highway subsidies that encouraged suburban growth even when it makes almost no sense whatsoever, combined with a lingering Anglo anti-urbanist set of cultural assumptions. However, worldwide, the USA is the weird place, and mostly the core parts of cities are better than the rest.
To be clear, our projects (at Parse.ly) don't have anything to do with Tor. In fact, I didn't know much about Tor until researching DARPA and the other participants involved in the program.

But, I'll address your general question, which is, do I have a moral/ethical problem with DARPA funding some of our open source work, such as streamparse and pykafka?

The answer is a resounding "no". There are very few funding sources for open source work. Part of DARPA's funding supports fundamental tech advancements (famously, the Internet itself and GPS) and recently, important open source projects (such as, Apache Spark and the Julia language).

Now, there is no doubt in my mind that open source software is used for intelligence purposes, regardless of its funding source. To restrict ones contribution to F/OSS based on the fear that some government or entity may use it toward an end you disagree with seems a battle you can only win through willful ignorance.

The nature of open source software is that people can use it however they please (within legal limits, of course). This is a trade-off I accept with eyes wide open, and in my mind, the benefit to the community for F/OSS always wins out.
I stumbled across Doorbell.io recently and am using it on Pleasant.io quite successfully. It's free (with a paid plan that gives you additional users, etc) and very simple: first one I found that wasn't cluttered with fields and features.
Unfortunately, it is really difficult to diagnose cache effects.

Do you have a good idea of what levels of cache misses are typical? Do you regression-check cache miss rates between versions?

What about the whole "debugging your program makes it slower" observer-effect? Do you know what effect your profiler has on cache?

And again, you do something that blows away cache it'll show up as cache misses at scattered random other parts of your problem. Even if you catch it can (will) be hard to track back to the actual source.

I am merely playing Devil's Advocate. I personally think that speedups of 1000-fold and million-fold etc. are a really big deal.

"Quantity has a quality all its own."

Nonetheless, it remains possible that there is a difference between fast intelligence solving things faster than we can, versus a superintelligence (from extraterrestrial aliens or something) that can create superior inventions or art or math or whatever that humans couldn't no matter how much time was allowed.

Time is not always the issue.

Anecdote from the Feynman biography "Genius":

A physicist once said that there were two kinds of genius. The first kind was the sort that a good but non-genius physicist could imagine that they, too, could have achieved the same results as the genius, if only they could work on just that for decades or even lifetimes.

But then he said that Feynman was the second kind of genius, whose results seemed to have been created by magic, and that ordinary physicists could not imagine achieving no matter how long they worked at it.

The key thing here is that some pretty smart people already believe that there are at least two kinds of very high intelligence, one of which is not related to speed.

So my point is merely that the same might apply to these other topics. We know so little about how to create a mind that there simply is no proof one way or the other.

And that latter is an objective fact. There is no existing algorithms for creating human-level minds that merely needs more cpu + ram + disk to work, there just isn't. So we don't know. Different people choose to believe one way or the other.

That's all.
The Two Day Manifesto
I'm guessing no one talks about it in when articles like this show up because... well.. no one's really used one yet. I've spent the weekend hand-assembling what is hopefully the final prototype rev of the PCB though, and hopefully they end up in peoples hands soon.

The problem is the site is not sending any (useful) HTML during the first HTTP request. Therefore the browser has to wait for the JS to render the page before it can even think about displaying anything.

The fact the site then loads content from firebase is obviously a problem, but it's not so much firebase's problem as it is of the codebase itself - in an ideal world it should be rendering the initial HTML to send to the client on the server.

I have seen React based websites with server side rendering work with firebase with much better performance.
You throw the term 'isomorphic' around a bunch in the descriptions of this project. It would be nice if the README explained what that meant. I know what an isomorphism is, but have no idea what this means in this context.
What I find so funny about this is that bottled water is much more 'sustainable' than public provisioned water because, since everybody in the bottled water supply chain makes money, can pay for itself and can pay for continuous improvement.

When the public water fountain in the park fails this is seen purely as a cost center, not an opportunity center, thus the public water fountain which is vastly more economically competitive loses every time.

A random point to also be aware of: Costco makes practically no money off of what they sell. Costco makes their money from membership fees.

Because membership fees are so important, Costco has to listen to the members so I would hazard a guess that members have not asked in sufficient numbers.

You couldn't write so many words and quote so many articles without reading about previous NSA whistleblowers and knowing how they were treated. And to know that it's not the whistleblowers duty to change the system from inside - when they're rebuffed by a broken and hostile system they're advised (by past whistleblowers, lawmakers, etc) to stop trying.

> Depending on whose numbers you go by, Snowden took [...] finally admitted in his interview with John Oliver that he didn't actually read all of them.

You're mad someone gathered the NSA's data in bulk?

Because he's never claimed he "read every word of" every document, he said he carefully evaluated - which in my mind is looking at the grep context and skipping the file if it's a false positive. I've scanned literally hundreds of thousands of torrent links, carefully selecting individual ones to download...

You know, I'd have been happy to have the leaks even if Snowden had to bulk post everything on 4chan to get it out. That he seems to have done an actual good job is a bonus since he's the one doing us the favor.
Power grids are designed for much more rapid turnover than that, easily 90% of the power grid that was around in 1960 has been replaced.

HD radio in the U.S. was a classic screw-up. It is one of the few cases where the europeans got it right and we blew it.

The DTB standard in Europe advanced the possibilities of radio whereas HD Radio was something that was a sideshow to the failing FM radio business.
It may not be A/C. A pool with a single speed pump plus an in-ground hot tub could conceivably run between four and five hundred bucks a month for heating. Of course if that's the case he could save a couple hundred bucks a month by installing a solar heating system and a two speed pump.

> It is a mistake to assume a browser supports javascript.

I really feel at this stage in the battle that that argument is hurting the call for server side rendering. Don't get me wrong, I have been a pusher for PE for many years but it quite clearly is falling on deaf ears these days.

The reason being is that it's very easy for someone to turn around and say "none of our users that we care about turn js off". However it is much harder to ignore the fact that initial page load times with server side rendering are minimal in comparison to the render-via-js frameworks of today.

I believe we need to follow the performance argument.
I do bike camping, but people like me are rather less common than others. This has the advantage that it's easy to pop into a store or restaurant for hot food, so I don't bring a stove.

I looked at the several day hiking version. I'm curious why someone needs matches and a firestarter/flint ... and a lighter in the gormet version. I borrowed a friend's stove once, and the flint seemed like it was enough.

And, headlamp and flashlight? I seem to get along fine with only one. ... no, I take that back - my bike has the equivalent of a headlamp.

It also looks difficult to regionalize. I had to look up what a bear canister was because I lived in parts of the US without many bears. On the other hand, there's no mention of mosquito spray/insect repellant.

I consider "Hiking Socks" part of clothes, not "gear". Shirts, bra, and underwear are missing from the clothes section. And good on you for including feminine hygiene.

I am unable to suggest a better way to organize things.
The Wrong Kind of Paranoia
Costco really isn't a retailer in the traditional sense. If you look at how they operate, aside from the fact that they allow the public to buy things, they really operate as a distribution center. From where they build to what they carry, it's not optimized to get the most customers because they know they are profitable from membership fees alone.

Because of that, I think its silly to compare Costco to any other retailer in any sense. If you never even walk through the door they've made money on you. That strips away the need for a lot of things that other retailers need to do to get you in the door.

They don't care if you get in and out fast for one item, their average cart value is really high. If you know you'll need to wait anyway, you'll do all your shopping there in a large trip and there is less "between order" time spent for their cashiers (who aren't really cashiers but basically warehouse packers, and you're the picker).

This extends to everything they do:

- They don't need to carry less profitable products to get you in the door, they optimize for least products and most profit

- They pay more because these aren't store employees but a combination of store and distribution center employee. This is supported by "market salary" a bit if you compare walmart distribution center employees you'll see they're actually higher paid starting salary, Costco employees fall on the upper end of the area between walmart store employees and walmart distribution center employees

- They won't build places they can't get people to pay that membership fee. The membership fee is a bit of a means test if you think about it. Poorer people can't afford to buy in bulk even if it saves them money, if you can't shell out the money for the right to shop at their store, then your average cart receipt doesn't fit in with what they're looking for. They'd probably be able to build profitable stores in a lot of places, but the membership fee structure means less stores but very low risk. You know if your market can afford to pay for somewhere to shop, they can afford what you're carrying. And it doesn't matter at that point because you're already profitable anyway.

They really aren't a revenue optimized company, they don't care about a few missed sales that you run to Acme instead of Costco because you only need one thing and don't want to wait. That's exactly what they want - a nice big cart every time you come.
Okay fine, let's do this. You seem to want to grind an ax with me on this and be an internet asshole. Your job now is to take the following omissions and come up with comparison down to the fractional cent. Because it's so important to you if I buy my asswipes at Walmart or Costco.

1) He literally showed that Costco was the cheaper option.

2) He failed to include savings from cash-back using an Amex

3) He failed to include savings from rebates, sales or other promotions

4) He failed to include savings from gas, vehicle wear and tear, from driving to another store to buy these ass wipes

5) He failed to account for the fractional wear and tear on shoes and clothing used for extra movement to the other store

6) He failed to account for caloric expenditure in the time spent going to Walmart to buy said toilet paper. What's the cost differential in buying a meal because I have to go to another store across town?

7) He failed to account for the cost of time-saved in not having to drive across town to buy this shit paper.

An interesting add-on here from Dan Carlin's Hardcore History podcast: The initial plan to force the strait involved risking a large number of out-dated ships, judged by Churchill and co. to be expendable in the context of their utility in the war. However the admiralty, who included a number of men who had served on said ships, shared an emotional attachment to the old-war-dog fleet which they had earned their stars and stripes on. Thus they were unwilling to fully commit the necessary expenditure for the plan to work (microcosm of why the greater plan failed).

A good example of ineptitude in war. Churchill was no saint, and I couldn't get to OP's article (hug of death?), but history is always viewed through a lens and is mostly op-ed pieces.
No problem, even with the Pi, Beagle Board, and Tessel I carried with me to/from Tel Aviv earlier this year. Might be wise to have a portable / USB battery available to show things are able to power up -- just advise I was given once, but never had to use.
Again: So what? The build system doesn't need to care whether it will stop or not. It will just run it, and if it doesn't stop it doesn't stop and will require human intervention, but you have the same problem with running LaTeX manually. At some point, you will have to decide whether you think it makes sense to add another iteration, and if without a build system you decide after 10 iterations that you probably should stop, then you can also tell your build systems that it should just give up at 10 iterations.

C is also turing complete, so I cannot reliably determine if my program will stop or not. Doesn't preclude me from running it.
Ah--it's not so cut and dry anymore. The Psychiatry profession, along with the drug companies are trying to climb out of a deep hole of bad science. The standard chemical treatment protocol is an art. There are no hard and fast truths in Psychiatry anymore.

Surely you meant to write the opposite? As we've all been told, over and over again, at least since it became clear that President Bush was encouraging torture, is the old slogan "death is what you wish for when you are being tortured."

I'm really happy you did. I hadn't had this chance with mine, suddenly died from a stroke on his way to work.

Maybe it's just me, but I find it much easier to understand exactly how a proposed solution works when it uses inline CSS. If the HTML and CSS appear separately, I have to look back and forth a lot to make sense of the whole.

Of course, when I actually implement it in my design, I prefer to separate my CSS from my HTML.

I wish the solution was presented in both flavors, side by side.
