Yeah, you'd think....

Pandora is a weird service. They pay less for their music in exchange for putting restrictions on it that make it less likely to substitute for music purchases. It really is supposed to just be radio, and they do things like limit skips so that you can't just skip ahead until you get to the exact song you want to listen to. The music companies want you to still go out and buy the album if you want to do that. On the other hand, Pandora is cheaper, at $5/month versus, for example, $10/month for Spotify.

Personally, I wish I could get Pandora's selection algorithm's into Spotify and have the best of both worlds.
Heh, can't forget when the second such room opened in Oslo. It was situated closer to the wealthy side of the city, and almost right away did they have people show up driving expensive cars and wearing expensive clothes.

In essence these were high up people in the Norwegian business world, coming to set a needle between their toes or snort a line in privacy before going off to make a multi-million deal or party.

After that it seemed all talk about such rooms became very hush hush...

But there are other forms of bans that could be tried. Ban production and selling but not purchasing. Or ban purchasing, but massively change the penalty to something more help. Even keeping all our current bans in place and just redoing prison to be about rehabilitation instead of retribution could result in a positive change.

Part of the problem isn't even the bans, but the money being made off of the war that leads to things like prisons lobbying for three strike rules and other horrendous laws.
This is a much better writeup than the report that the UW Co-op office forces all students to produce by the end of their internships.

I agree mostly, but the exception is financial harm, which can devastate people and families. That retirement savings you were planning on using? Gone. When that happens, either restitution needs to be made or you go to jail.

15% and 2.3% didn't really mean much to me without seeing the total composition (chart on page 3). Turns out operation is dominant source of electric vehicles' environmental impact. I guess the operational impact is primarily from electricity generation, which is always going to be cleaner than refining crude oil unless every power plant switches to coal. Compared to internal combustion engine vehicles, the battery impact is much less than the total improvement in operational impact in all 4 impact assessments.

But if the ease of installing these batteries makes home solar panels more attractive, that may offset their impact outside of EV use.

That sounds like his job description.

Obviously this is an exaggeration but GS essentially played against their own clients in many cases. Edit: (There are stuff on the net about this, like http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/26/goldman-sachs-email..., but many of us know this system from the inside :) ).
Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index at +119% over the last year
I remember reading this in 1997, about a year after I switched from the awful Mac Performa that I had used in college and dragged out west with me to the first in a series of increasingly uninspiring beige WinTel boxes. It would be nine years before I switched back.

It's really easy to engage in hindsight-powered analysis. This article seemed perfectly reasonable at the time.
What about psychological violence?
So I guess the take away is on your last day of work, don't just zip up and ftp any code from your company, it's just not worth it.

Not just "not worth it" but actually illegal.

The only question of debate here is whether jail time was warranted here.

>Nate ended up buying both sites for only $5,000—amazing value, considering they were fraudulently purchased from us for nearly $23K!

Really, is that how you decide that something is an amazing value?
Yes, we are both (my wife and I) are in tech. I'm an analytics/conversion consultant and she is a principle engineer with an aerospace company. Early mornings are answering email and putting out fires, then farm work during the day and then 'paid work' in the afternoon / evenings. We stay very busy but our 'jobs' = 20 to 30 hours a week the rest is spent playing in the dirt. We raise a lot of birds to release in to the wild (Quail/Guinea/Ducks) and we in the process of adding beef cattle this year. It is a lot of work and very satisfying to work in tech and dirt at the same time. I added my email to my profile if anyone wants to get more detailed info or advice.
Isn't that the idea though? Solar + battery + electric car = no gasoline, electricity, or natural gas bill.

If the average car gasoline bill is $3000/year, electricity is $1000/year, and we demand a 5-year payback, we can spend at most $20,000 on a solar+battery+car system over what we would spend on a conventional gasoline-car and grid-house.

So you're saying Goldman Sachs should be in jail?
I am not sure if this is what the GP is basing that opinion on, but there is quite a long list of controversies associated with GS:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldman_Sachs#Controversies

Among the HN crowd I am sure you will find people on both sides of this issue: some people will think that GS is not working on 'good' problems that better the world, therefore, it is 'shady' to work there; and others will argue that GS is abstractly bettering the world through efficient resource/money allocation, especially for developing countries.

I loved dragonbox and so did my daughters. I just bought lightbot jr for my 4 year old and tweeted a pic. He's currently muttering to himself and it's cracking me up - "Oh this one is hard. All you have to do is put an arrow. Now let's turn the other way." He's debugging! Thanks a bunch!
Maybe a good first step would be to make self-signed SSL certificates appear less scary than unencypted HTTP in firefox.

While SSL with self-signed certs don't make MITM attacks much harder, they do prevent passive evesdropping. Yet the firefox UI seems to imply the contrary, by making it harder to use https-sites with self signed certs than unencrypted sites.
8 Years. I have loved and listened on Grooveshark for the last 8 years. Since my first job while in highschool. You were the first app I have ever installed, on my company blackberry so I could listen on the commute. You let me send my highschool sweetheart songs of love and joy, let me express so effortlessly what I wanted to say when words fail. Her and I needed you through long nights at college, keeping us focused and energized. When I scored my first internship we offlined our entire collections for the 36 hour drive from Chicago to California. We drove that 4 more times with you. And finally, after the many years of sharing together and a college degree later, you were there to play the music as she walked down the isle.

I can genuinely say you made my life better, you have given me true happiness. Thank You.

Exactly this. I reply here because it applies to most of the other replies so far. Breaking the law is not justified even if you »only« affect someone who also broke the law and affected you with that. In the real world as on the internet. Period. Sometimes the world is unfair, suck it up, but don't become criminal yourself.
Several of the studies supporting growth mindset have methodological flaws. For example:

http://slatestarcodex.com/2015/04/22/growth-mindset-3-a-pox-...
The mention of whale oil being superior to "canola oil" for lighting purposes is rather anachronistic. Canadian-grown rapeseed oil was only called Canola in the 1970s, and (at least according to wiki) cultivation of rapeseed for oil only began in the 19th century - a far cry from the 17th century mentioned in the article!

We're a 3-person startup looking for developer #2. Our business is collecting patient-reported outcomes over the Web. Our platform is built on Groovy/Grails, so we're looking for a developer with experience in:

1) You don't need this if you have solar. Most states and utilities have pretty favorable subsidies for "selling back" energy to the grid. The utility is credit the feeding back to the grid at 100%. This device will introduce efficiency losses and it is expensive.

Unless you have extreme peak v. non-peak fees, I doubt this will save you money. Even at 20 cent difference, 7kW hours is a 1.40 a day. But that assumes that you could use all 7kW hours at peak times (you probably aren't). Also, you'll lose 10% going form AC-DC, you'll lose 8% on the battery, and you lose 10% going from DC-AC. That is about 25% loss.

2) If lots of people get them, the peak v. non-peak difference will collapse.
My son loves Dragonbox and Elements. They're absolutely fantastic! Keep up the good work.
Thanks.

>whatever decision your friend makes is theirs

That's the hardest part. I know that logically but they are alive now. And I know there is a real chance they could wind up taking their own life at some point. I want to fucking prevent that from happening. It's a helpless feeling knowing that I can't. At least not with any degree of certainty.
I appreciate TestMunk's goal to make automated mobile testing easier and more accessible, and I truly hope they succeed in that, but for the love of testing, please do not view that example feature file at the bottom as an example of proper Gherkin.

It is riddled with implementation details and brittle explicit waits. To be fair, they did clearly state: "we generally recommend against fixed waits" but then please do not put this forth as an example to be copied. Scenarios should describe the behavior from a user perspective and leave out implementation details. You should not have to change the your Gherkin no matter how much the underlying implementation changes so long as the expected behavior remains the same. Not to mention the misuse of the Given/When/Then keywords and the "I logout" steps -- that is what before/after hooks are for.

I also recognize TestMunk points out that this feature utilizes standard steps to get your first test cases going and to get some screenshots. They also advocate for the page object pattern, which is good, but it might be helpful to be clear that this is not how you'd actually want to write your Gherkin, whose true value comes when written with/for product owners, free of implementation details.
We're talking about changing how self signed certificates are handled. You can't imagine the obvious solution of having self signed certificates not count as HSTS connections?

As a long-time Grooveshark user, (paying) subscriber, and partner, this is a very sad event. I echo others in that Grooveshark's music service was one of the best out there in terms of their UI, audio quality and music discovery--I discovered TONS of new bands and artists thanks to them, and bough the music of those I really loved.

A word about Josh Greenberg, the co-founder and CTO of Grooveshark. He's an amazing guy. When I started my startup Metrical[0], he was the first person to give it a try--in a real, production environment. He put us in front of millions of users and was patient as we worked through bugs and issues. He really put faith in someone with a "cool idea" and gave me a shot. Thanks Josh!

Grooveshark was an amazing service, and will be missed. Josh, I'm looking forward to seeing you go on to bigger and better things.

Remember The Man In The Arena, by Theodore Roosevelt:

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

I actually didn't miss it, I was simply pointing out types of users who don't benefit from it to counter the "beneficial to almost everyone" argument. I realize there are many types of people who will use this product and benefit immensely.

Are you able to sponsor visa for this position?
Because if it tanks, it will likely go to -10% instantly, making it really hard to sell. The thing about price restrictions is that you can never be sure what the real market price is because no one has the information, especially in a bubble.

Most of the volume happens around market opening, because at that time no one is sure whether the stock will end the +10% strike that day.

If you want to sell at an all-time-high, you would have to risk losing out to sell at one of the +10% days.

It seems like within a week of me trying in earnest to adopt Clojure as another language in my arsenal, HN starts having a lot more regular Clojure visitors to the front page.

Objections to Cloud Services
Great point about marginal benefits of load shifting. I do think we're so far from that reduction being significant at this point that it's worth attempting.

I believe peak demand in most non-industrial areas is already evening, because residential areas tend to have less efficient energy use than commercial spaces due to density, and everyone is home at the same time, often doing energy intensive tasks such as cooking, using the A/C, opening the fridge. I heard from someone at a power company that advertisements during the Super Bowl are a major issue, because everyone opens their fridge and flushes the toilet at the same time, and power supply has to spike for 3 minutes and then return to normal.
