No, capitalists are not "free riders". A big reason the average wage is much higher in the U.S. than in say India is that the amount of capital per worker is higher, making U.S. workers more productive. There is no capital without capitalists.

> Oh look. It's $8k. So the total price is $28k.

Yes, and the sentence you quoted specifically said the $98,000 figure was using Tesla's batteries.

> 62 kwh is over two full day's worth of electricity usage for the average US home. I actually think that's probably quite a bit more than you need. Two of Elon's batteries is 20kwh, which is about 2/3 of an average day's usage - enough to last most people the night, right?

Wrong. An off-grid PV system requires a buffer to supply power during days with little to no sun. Two days is about right for most of the country; in some places I would size it larger because they are prone to multiple days of overcast conditions at certain times of year.

Furthermore, you completely ignored that I stated, supported by the link I provided to the Tesla page, that you are not supposed to use the 10kWh batteries for daily drain applications.

> $98k was in California right? According to this, Los Angeles gets 5.62. Manhattan gets 4.57.

I didn't look into where the $98,000 was supposed to be located. I assumed they took the least-favorable location in the country.

> Why not pick 3.9 and assume that everybody gets as much as Fairbanks, Alaska?

Because the vast majority of the US gets in the range of 4.2 - 4.5? I could have used 4.5, but that would only move the total cost down by about $4,000. Still, that is the average. An off-grid system needs to be designed for the low on that chart, or there will be times of year you have little or no power.

Heroku for backend, automatically grow or shrink resources, nothing to maintain, nothing to configure and tons of services available alongside it.

Netlify for frontend, it is a static hosting service with some neat features like url rewriting that lets you proxy e.g. /api to a backend without revealing api keys and under the same origin / domain.

What really draws me to this is:

- no servers or software to maintain

- horizontal scaling by design (heroku kind of forces it)

- deploy process is "git push", fresh deploy is one click (heroku) and a few mins doing config on netlify though they have an api so maybe that's redundant

- no lock-in, easy to replicate locally

- databases are managed wrt backups, recovery etc

- entire front end is static and will scale indefinitely with massive uptime

I might be the odd one here but I don't think this article was about the practicality of working part-time but rather a motivator. Here is the key point:

> When we were done, they took me to chai, and asked me about my life in the mountains, my time in theater. “I can also say ‘I want to go and live in the mountains.’ But who will let me?” one of them asked.

> “Remember this,” I laughed, “you need no one’s permission to be yourself.” When I got back, I read The Top Regret again—”I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.”

It is a weird coincidence that this is the exact debate I'm having with my wife right now. I make more than enough for us to live well and I'm trying to show her how wonderful her life can be if she goes part-time or quits her job. I've told her that she can finally do all the things she really wants to do - more time to spend with our newborn, joining mommy groups, more time to exercise, cook/eat healthier, time for hobbies etc.

She keeps coming back with her worries of future career prospects, financial problems in case I can't work, her prestige in her line of work etc. I counter with the fact that she was the valedictorian of her medical masters class with numerous open job offers with no expiration date, how we can buy sufficient life/disability insurance, how she can continue to work part-time or teach an advanced class or two if she wants to remain involved in her profession without a lapse.

For me, this would be the dream. I'd love to work half as much as I do but I can't because of finances. She CAN work half as much without worrying about finances but she is still afraid of the major change. Frankly, it is just too alien of a concept for her. I would never force her to pick a specific path so all I can do until she makes up her mind is to offer her suggestions and paint a picture of what life could be if she picked the unconventional path.

For web services, distributed usually makes sense, because the resource usage of a single connection is rarely high. It's largely uninteresting to consider huge machines for that use case for the reasons you outline.

But that's not really what the discussion is about. In the web services case, your dataset often/generally fits in memory because your data set is tiny. You don't need large servers for that, most of the time. Even most databases people have to work with are relatively small or easily sharded.

In the context of this discussion, consider that what matters is the size of the dataset for an individual "job". If you are processing many small jobs, then the memory size to consider is the memory size of an individual job, not the total memory required for all jobs you'd like to run in parallel. In that case many small servers is often cost effective.

If you are processing large jobs, on the other hand, you should seriously consider if there are data dependencies between different parts of your problem, in which case you very easily become I/O bound.

If you are using PostgreSQL, your data is operating in RAM if your data is small enough to fit. The write-ahead log gets a sequential copy of writes that are immediately moved to disk but the rest is lazily applied in the background.

Given a halfway competent I/O scheduler and some cheap SSDs, you can continuously write new data to disk at network wire speed even at 10 GbE while operating on the data in RAM and saturating outbound network. There is no slowdown at all. Even for databases that do not implement a good I/O scheduler (like PostgreSQL unfortunately) your workload is sufficiently trivial that backing it with SSD should have no performance impact. If you are having a performance problem with 1.4GB CMS, it is an architecture problem, not a database problem.
I don't understand why people feel the need to be an "early adopter" of something like this.

How many people out there want to be an early adopter of a Lennox Air Conditioning unit? Or of a New, more efficient furnace? Or more efficient windows?

The fact remains: the Tesla Powerwall is a "home appliance". The process for buying a new home appliance is the same as any other. You run the calculations, you determine if the appliance saves you money in the long term, and if it does... you go for it.

We run 8 SSD RAID 10 for all our database nodes. However, you still need the same metric ton of RAM you'd need before. However, if you have an I/O heavy load [which almost all databases do] you can cut down on total number of machines compared to SATA.
> writing a new post or page can take up to 30 seconds or so, which is simply absurd.

If it really waits on the disk your problems would be solved by using the SSD. Change your hosting plan. Fitting 1.4GB database isn't expensive. If it remains slow that means you use some very badly programmed solution.

I don't always write dangerous code, but when I do I fully realize it =). And it has nothing to do with any of the features that you listed.

In fact "threading" in C++ is safer because of the availability of high-quality libraries providing task-based parallelism such as TBB, move semantics is used all the time in C albeit manually with pointer manipulation. It is true that not all of the features play well together, but it's nothing compared to the C pitfalls that I mentioned.

If you want to avoid dangerous interactions, don't overengineer your code, stick to the features you understand. This is true not only for C++, but for any language.

I would think that active coordination could be beneficial, when not guaranteed. I'm sure most people have been in a situation where they are waving or gesturing with another driver to coordinate something in a friendly way. Maybe you need to move into their lane, so you point and make a questioning face. They nod as if they understand and make room for you. You move over.

They didn't need to back off, and in that case, you would have just waited for an opportunity to open up, or a friendlier driver to be next to you. Even if they nodded, but didn't back off, you'd just assume a mis-communication and not try to merge in.

So, self driving cars could do this on a much more regular and reliable basis, while still not relying on it or trusting one another. They broadcast that they want to get over, and if another car happens to get that signal and happens to be willing/able to comply, it opens a space. If the first car sees a space, it moves over, which is what it would have done anyway, regardless of whether the space is coincidental or intentional.

Could also be handy for determining right of way in edge cases where humans often get confused and play the you-go-no-I-guess-I'll-go-no-wait-now-he's-going game. Two computers might be playing the same game, but they can resolve it in a tiny fraction of a second. Of course, the flocking birds example works well here as well. If the rules are clear enough, the cars will just know who should go.

But yes, no matter what, a car couldn't trust what another will do, and should be prepared with an evasion strategy for every possibility, thus not doing anything that would leave it no way out if another car did something stupid or there was a mis-communication.

People are doing that. If you see those PCIe "SSDs", most of them are effectively multiple SSD's + controller on a card, combined with either software or hardware RAID-0... E.g. some of the OCZ cards at least show up as 4 individual units under Linux, while the Windows drivers at least by default will show it as one device.

But yes, it is expensive if you measure per GB. If your dataset is small, though, and you are more interested in cost per IO operation, they can be very cheap.

Technically, the Bath County station was built with $1.6 Billion. I adjusted up to $5 Billion for an off-the cuff "inflation" estimation, also because other pumped hydro solutions are coming around $5 Billion as well.

Something to note is that the Bath County station has been running since the 1970s. That's a useful lifespan well of 40 years at this point. I don't think Lithium Ion (especially when they are cycled daily) will achieve that lifespan.

Well, there's been some alarmism about AI recently, and in that same vein I'll admit it - even with a physics degree I'm uneasy about the LHC. By definition we don't know what will happen. We are generating kinetic energies that haven't been seen since literally the dawn of time. I would just be a lot more comfortable if these experiments were being done in space, far away from life. It's just that even 99.999% certainty that nothing catastrophic will happen really isn't high enough considering the stakes.

Has Apple leaked the iPhone 6C on its own site?
>> I don't know about economy and such, maybe it really is beneficial for most people in the economy to borrow money and live way above their current means, but on a personal level taking on a debt looks like an economic suicide.

If your view of a healthy economy is one that siphons money out of the working class and into the coffers of large corporations in an ever growing spiral of consumption, then yes, taking on debt "makes sense". If the amount of money being spent and the market capitalization of your largest firms are the only way a country knows how to measure its wealth, then it will clearly prioritize spending over all else.

Personally, I think a healthy economy is one that meets the needs of its citizens. Why should 150 million people be "stimulated" and "incentivized" to spend money they don't have to make sure they all have new iPhones so Apple gets richer? Wouldn't it be better for those people to save their money and spend it on things that are actually important to them? Half those people spending half that money in their home towns probably goes a lot further.

I was poor too, when I was a kid and entering my career. I fix stuff around my house, too. Why am I going to spend $1000 on a new TV when it's a $2 capacitor that is the problem? Maybe that's what it is. We don't trust a system that wasn't there for us. The modern era of data-fueled, giganto-corp protectionist capitalism is all about making sure the richest get their due before the rest of us.

Don't get me wrong, I believe in capitalism. It's how small businesses work. I'd much rather give my money to a local shop ran by people in my own community, people I know, friends even. I know I'm helping them out, they know they're helping me out. That's healthy.
If you're in the left lane and going slower than the guy behind you, pull to the right. I wish people in America would be taught this, I'm amazed at how often light traffic I encounter is from a few people meandering in the left most lanes and then everyone behind just matching their speed. Obviously does nothing about major traffic but still annoying. Besides that, people need to stop thinking of driving as a competition and let others change lanes and merge. I'd like to think those 2 things would help the situation a bit.
Disk writes are the problem in my case, and I'm comfortable making that assertion (I'm not new to this particular game). Reads are plenty fast, it's writes that are a problem. Certainly, it is a pathological problem with the disk subsystem that makes it suck, but it does suck, and if I could flip a switch and say "stop waiting for the disk, write it whenever you can" without risking breaking consistency on crashes, I would do so.

It seems like, from another comment, that setting innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit to a non-1 value is roughly what I want, though it still flushes every second, which is probably more often than I need, but may resolve the problem of the application waiting for the commit to disk, which is probably enough.
Which is a situation where getting fired for breaking policy is going to be more profitable than keeping your job.
