It's more than that. Right above the line you quote

Earlier, companies based in a city, ward or town were given a priority at auctions held by their governments.

Local companies were given priority not because they were providing higher quality product but simply because they were from the area.
Upfront costs might be similar though this includes total costs (Land, installation, AC-DC converter, etc) where the tesla does not. However, efficiency is probably higher and the matence costs are probably far lower.

PS: The tesla battery actually claimes an 'inflated' effecency level (92%), by not including inverters, though as it's designed for DC solar systems that may be reasonable.

My son went from 320 to 210 in nine months while I went from 263 to 188 in the same amount of time so I can verify it certainly helps though overeating is possible on paleo, too.

However, I should note that we were working out in a gym three times a week and, after quitting that due to boredom and quitting paleo cause I love bread and ice cream, I went to 208 pretty quick.

So Paleo is not a cure all. Being a programmer who sits on his butt all day doesn't help at all.
they would also need to press local legislatures to remove many of the restrictions on felons as to what jobs they may hold let alone which certifications they may attain. many who return to the work force who were in white collar jobs can find their profession is blocked from them, even many blue collar workers will have lost their certifications and not be allowed back into their trades.
Performance: NT 3 had a reputation for being sluggish so NT 4 broke that nice design by shoving anything sensitive into ring 0. Some of that was to catch up with more mature Unixes like SGI in the important technical workstation market – this was an era where things like Autodesk benchmarks drove $10+K purchases – and I'm sure Windows 95 was a big motivation.

At the time the argument was stronger since not only were processors slower but they also lacked the later optimizations for things like syscalls.

The problem of SaaS is having your company data stored by someone you have to trust... So I reckon it depends on your use case: if I'm a small company who doesn't want to bother running/maintaining the service then I'm more than happy to hand it over to someone else and trust them. If I don't want to trust anyone with my data I'd rather have something simple to deploy and run myself.

The same way that having a closed client prevents you from customising it to fit your needs but can be helpful if you had no intention to do so in the first place.

"The Coalition has never supported mandatory internet filtering. Indeed, we have a long record of opposing it," the statement said.

"The policy which was issued today was poorly worded and incorrectly indicated that the Coalition supported an 'opt-out' system of internet filtering for both mobile and fixed-line services. That is not our policy and never has been.

"The correct position is that the Coalition will encourage mobile phone and internet service providers to make available software which parents can choose to install on their own devices to protect their children from inappropriate material."

Let's chat looked great but we were a little put off by mongodb and something else that escapes my mind right now so we ended up sticking with OpenFire for our XMPP server / chat rooms for the time being although it certainly has it's share of bugs.
Funny in what way? Not sure I see the point you're alluding to.
Well that's the problem, no body has studied it so no body knows. And with DNA matching now available, there's little point wasting time and money studying it now. Future cases can use DNA matching, as can historical cases (and if the hair samples are no longer available, even if the technique were studied and found to be valid there is no way to verify that it was applied properly in the first place).

There is a cultural element -- the Japanese perceive the cultural contrast between their world and "ours" more acutely than we do, in both directions (i.e. their positions go from "the West is much better than us" to "the West is so much worse than us" very quickly, it's hard to find level-headed assessments of both positions). Most of the "obviously it can't work" sentiment actually comes from there, in many cases.

And then there is an economic issue: their currency has been so strong for so long, it simply wasn't worth for most medium-to-small companies to invest in tricky oversea expansion for a very long time. Things have changed a bit there, but the cultural perception has not shifted much.

There is also the obvious difficulty of limited chances for local expansion: the country closest to them in cultural terms are Korea, which they historically see as inferior and poorer, and China, which they know they simply cannot match on equal terms.

And then, of course, there is the recent history of train-crash expansion in the '80s. That didn't end well, and some of the lessons they learnt was not to try too hard to expand abroad.

When the US president invites allies to the white-house, I would assume there to be quite of an outcry if guests were found to plant bugs on phones and network switches. I would expect headlines to include "human lives are put at risk" and "we expect invited allies to behave according to national treaties" in all of the large news papers.

I would not expect to see a shrug and a "owell, thats what spying is for, right?".

There are a lot of unproven assumptions there, such as that the education is a decreasing factor of population growth. That is only a correlation. I don't claim to know exactly how things are revolving in this matter, but as an educated guess I can say that, outside the necessary physical conditions (like enough nourishment and such), the culture of family is the most influential here. The education and the opportunities it opened for a better life just happened to be seductive enough to attract the individuals out of that family culture, but I wouldn't take this effect for granted.
I don't think anyone would notice or you would get shadow banned before it got to this. If they did it would become a meme for a day or two.

Ah, an XMPP server is a good choice for IM for us, although I can't get the team to stick around in the channels for very long. Maybe that's a culture problem, though.
Yeah, there'll always be companies like that but as more and more large orgs, government departments, etc. migrate all their email over to Gmail, I'm starting to consider that as a niche. Those orgs are also disproportionately likely to want to build their own thing because they have a hope of making the economics of scale add up.

> To be honest it really should be part of the NSA remit to spy on as many world leaders as possible (friend or foe) I expect GCHQ & whatever the French equivalent is to be doing exactly the same.

This canard seems to be dragged out as a response to any abridgement of civil liberties (of course the FBI should have a agent in every environmental group! Of course Uber should be paying Lyft executives secretly for access to their trade secrets! Of course the NSA should listen in on every phone call! To do otherwise would be stupid and incompetent, and I don't want a stupid incompetent government/company/father.)

What happens when you spy on everyone is that when you get caught, your diplomacy breaks down all over the world and you can't get anything done without direct threats. Also, no one lets anyone connected with you get close to anything important, because you are untrustworthy i.e. when you say you're going to send weapons inspectors, Iraq says: don't send any Americans, they only send spies. A lot of people who studied at American universities and return home get imprisoned and/or executed.

Intelligence gathering is something you do because you want to gain leverage, not lose it. Instead, in the US, it's become another teat for huge incompetent contractors to suck the taxpayer dry.
That's not really the point though. The fact that a minority of tech-savvy users will be able to get around it doesn't change the fact that it's a very effective measure against Joe Sixpack and his family having unfettered access to information.

More generally, this is why i'm very sceptical of technical solutions to political problems. Years from now, you might find yourself along with your technically proficient minority of friends being the only people able to still access the Internet freely—most of it might have already become a corporate-controlled walled garden. I for one don't want to have to end up living in digital almost-exile just because we were too lazy to Do Something™ now, when there is still hope.

I admit that this is at once probably rather tinfoil-hatty but also almost reality (how many people would be able to find whatever they're looking for if something like Google Search were blocked? 5%? Never mind if DNS poisoning was added to that). We on HN would be fine, but this would seriously impede democracy, given how the other 95% would be stuck without access to information.
I'd guess/hope that this is mainly because of a bunch of embedded custom hardware (like PC-104 based systems) buried in different nooks and crannies of ships and weapons, as opposed to crufty VB and IE6 dependent office productivity stuff.
Or perhaps a large company of low wage workers overseen by 100 highly paid independent contractors hired by the board of directors.

Pretty much only DNA analysis rises above shamanism,[1] and juries and judges have incorrect perceptions about the accuracy of those tests. While the often-quoted false random match probability is astronomically low, that error rate is dominated by lab error, which can rise to 1-2%.

The comments section adds an interesting counterpoint to the Guardian's spin: he was also jailed on the evidence of the victim identifying his photograph, picking him out of an identity parade based on appearance and voice and testifying against him in court.

Whilst DNA evidence has subsequently exonerated him, there were pretty good reasons for the jury at the time to consider the case proven beyond reasonable doubt that didn't involve placing too much faith in dubious "expert witness" testimony about hairs.
Do you think this "expert" should get 22 years in prison? And maybe his boss too

Google doesn't help me, but my wife often tells me that our area (along the coast of Suruga bay in Shizuoka prefecture) has the most annual sunshine in all of Japan (I won't argue with her ;-) ). Definitely the number of solar installations here is dramatically rising. Practically every day I see a new one. 5 years ago it was wind turbines (it's also insanely windy here most of the time...)

Shizuoka is home to a very large amount of car and motorcylce manufacturing and after the the Tohoku earthquake they got creative with scheduling workers based on available power. My understanding is that the big manufacturers made a rota took turns using the power. If they manage to get a very large amount of solar power running (which it definitely looks like they are aiming for), I wonder if they will end up scheduling work based on the weather report.
Libre software and the associated freedoms aren't (or shouldn't be, at least!) "hipster stuff"! They are also in no way in conflict with Proper Science. One might almost argue that with regards to reproducibility of results, Proper Science demands a certain amount of Freedom.

>were not experienced coders.

I think they may have exaggerated that. It another article Krieger say "in high school, one of the things I loved doing was this after-school program where you would teach computer skills to some of the maintenance folks at school." Which he taught, so presumably he was coding at school. Then "studied human-computer interaction" at Stanford. Then he was a "user experience designer and engineer at Meebo." Then Instagram. So probably some years of coding experience if partly on a hobby basis.

I believe that Brendan did not properly communicate his personal beliefs on the matter. I think people who believe in christian values are afraid of stating those views publicly because in the US there is a bad history of christian fundamentalists (ie Moral Majority) who fanatically attack people who do not ascribe to christian moral values. Despite a high percentage of people in the US who profess to be christians, the US has one of the highest divorce rates in the world. A lot of people see the christian concept of family unit as basically flawed, we live in a culture where divorce and single parents are the norm. There is also the issue of separation of church and state when dealing with family values. So I think a lot of people who are in position of authority are afraid of publicly stating their personal christian beliefs because christian values seem to be so out of touch with what is actually going on. Indeed it is not morally right nor is it lawful to force religious beliefs on someone. But we still have a right to have moral beliefs that we use to help form our decisions. In my view Brendan appeared to back down from openly stating what his personal beliefs are on the matter and to fall back on the idea that he supports anti-discrimination laws (that include discrimination on the basis of sexual preference). I think its possible to have moral convictions based on religion and vote in ways that support those convictions. This is not discrimination, there is no 'ultimate moral code' that transcends all laws or religious beliefs. In the end all laws and moral codes must come from somewhere. These laws must be fair and not tied to any religion or moral code but must be voted on democratically. Brendan backed down from explaining why he holds such beliefs. This sort of makes him a coward and someone who is afraid to speak on what he personally believes to be true because of fear he will be seen as intolerant.

I sometimes buy organic mayo that costs more, purely because it tastes better. I've also found this to be the case with vegetables and many other products, especially their peanut butter!

I don't care too much what is in the actual product unless its the lowest priced products which usually contain some disgusting stuff (mechanical chicken etc).

Note: this is comparing Sainsbury's standard to organic range.

I wonder if they're still using pure DOS for some things, or if they're running DOS applications on XP:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:US_Navy_110129-N-7676W-15...

(Notice the floppy disks. They might actually be safer than USB drives, since the latter introduces considerably more attack area, whereas a floppy is an extremely dumb storage device.)

In any case, from a risk-management perspective, I believe that software tends to get more stable over time if the only things being done are bug fixes; it's the radical rewrites and adding features that comes with new versions that bring more bugs. If it works, why "rock the boat" with new unknowns - there is more to lose than gain in this situation. I wouldn't be surprised if almost all of the important bugs in XP have already been found and fixed, and the limitations identified. It's like an asymptotic curve.
That's interesting to hear about Switzerland, but it's actually banks in general. I had to support IE8 up until recently on various financial services websites for the company I worked for not because of any actual customers but because our partners at various banks in Australia are often still using XP and even those that have migrated to Win7 are still limited to IE8.

My friend works for a large US bank and told me they are generally limited to IE8 but he had "bribed" the IT department to give him an exceptional upgrade with some fine beer.
There are other ways of removing bacteria and fungi (filtering, centrifuging, perhaps the ingredients are processed in such a way that bacteria are not present, think: using only the inner, possibly sterile part of a plant etc.) And if there are no constituents that have a fast natural decay time it is quite possible to make things last long without heating or preservatives, just keep the production process sterile.
Senior JAvaScript Developer Sought
I realised a while back a lot of computer music is really computer science music - it's people who know something about computers but not much about the art of music, playing with relatively trivial algorithms to create music-like results.

There's also the academic musical equivalent - music professors using stock faddy techniques like serialism or (currently) number and group theory.

It's not that this is an impossible problem. It's more that the set of people who can code machine learning algorithms and understand music theory and are creative enough to invent new algorithmic techniques and to create more-than-listenable music is incredibly small - double figures, if that.

So progress in non-trivial computer music has been incredibly slow. The DSP side has been far more successful, because DSP is - in most ways - a much simpler problem.
