Electricity will become cheaper thanks to renewable energies (Solar, Wind...) and energy storage improvements (Batteries). But, I think we should point out that those energies represent large investments at first. For instance, building solar electricity plants is very expensive, the same way as Wind power.
Germany is a good example: they stopped nuclear plants to increase their renewable energy production but costs of electricity increased a lot there.
I'd say electricity costs will go up first (because of high investments) and then will decrease.

It seems like an excellent use case for the blockchain due to the nature of the commodity.
It's basically a contract of sorts changing hands. Could be done efficiently, you could even track what shares voted for what or instruct your blockchain stocks to vote a certain way (smart contracts).

This is a bit off topic but I'm very curious. How would one go about trading consumable items via the blockchain?
The entries for the items would have to move to a consumed state somehow which seems really hard to track. Maybe it's trivial and I'm missing something?
For arguments sake let's say a barrel of oil or something like that.
TPP, ISDS and the End of Democracy [video]
Saudi Arabia hasn't shut off fracking in the US in any respect.

As of July 3rd, US crude oil production was 9.6 million barrels per day. The highest in at least 32 years. This is one year after the price of oil began to plunge. Since December / January, when oil particularly got cheaper, US crude production has expanded another 5%.

In fact, the Saudis have accomplished the effect of forcing US companies to innovate and make fracking even cheaper. What people seem to fail to understand about fracking, is that it's a shift in technology, not a temporary blip. It will continue to get cheaper and more efficient, and it will spread globally, leading to a wave of oil for decades. Just wait until you see what US frackers can do in Mexico with a liberalized oil market there.

As an example of technology making fracking cheaper, meet re-fracking:

Lego Tries to Build a Better Brick
I have a few problems with it, actually.

Number one is that it's happening when users don't expect it. As an end user, I don't expect my browser to start making requests until I tell it to.

And it's silly to say the information is "harmless in itself," because most of the information Google, Facebook, Yahoo, etc. collect is harmless in itself. The whole point of those companies is to collect as many tiny pieces of "harmless" information as possible to build up profiles about people.

TBH, I don't trust Google at all on privacy matters any more. The way they try to tie my work Gmail to my personal Gmail, to my youtube viewing and cram everything into Google+ has really rubbed me the wrong way, and I've been moving away from their services as much as possible. The last thing I want is my browser contacting them without my knowledge.

It does given a Functor definition. Typically in Category Theoretic presentations Monad is defined as a functor T along with mu and nu, operations that are (a -> T a) and (T (T a) -> T a), 'unit' and 'join'.

The rules for Monad are perfectly well-stated in terms of join—perhaps even better stated if you're one to like Category Theoretic diagram chasing.

There is no strategy. The thought of Google having a central product management strategy -- and successfully executing it across many teams -- is hilarious to people who work there. It's chaos that outsiders try to read into.

This is a consequence of bad internal economics and incentives. Google PMs and engineers are incentivized to create new products and ship them by quarterly deadlines (perf/promo cycles) rather than align their teams towards a cohesive user experience. Thinking this way would occasionally cause teams to, gasp, not build a product they wanted to build. Everyone needs to ship something, ideally something new. After all, you don't get promoted for deciding not to build something. I've seen awful products/implementations go out the door and get killed or reimplemented soon thereafter. And people still list these as "achievements" on promotion packets (and they get promoted despite the product failing!).

The company is kind of trying to address this by changing promotion criteria, but it's culturally ingrained and won't change for some time.
I often wonder at times like this if people pre-announce what they are going to talk about in order to flush out the resistance early. You could just say, "I'm going to talk about some wireless stuff I've been working on" without any description and what not and well poof, it would show up and you talk about it and release stuff and then folks can debate on what sort of impact it has.

Of course if you did that would the government figure out how to shut down DefCon completely to prevent the potential release of something they might not like? Would the DefCon folks co-operate? It takes pretty serious stones to have a federal agent tell you "if you do this we'll throw you into a dark hole where no one will ever find you." and to answer back, "ok, let's see you try." Clearly for aaronsw that threat was a huge factor in his decision to end his life.

On the plus side, it could be that someone decided to premptively buy all rights to ProxyHam on the condition he pull it off the market and destroy all external docs and examples. Sort of a silent exit but a big payday none the less. Or maybe it will be like the Enigma rotor patent, filed in 1945 issued in 1978 after the government chose DES as the new encryption standard.

Would love to know the real story though.

I saw that video the other day, still very misleading by a factor of about 4 (in area). In that first shot, his forearm is pointing up, so his hand isn't near arms length, but the screen hand ratio looks about right for if it were at arms length. So depending on what his upper arm is doing, the FOV is about doubled (approx 60 degrees wide hoorizontal instead of ~30 degrees), giving it about 4 times too much area in the shot.

To me it just reminds me of Kinect and Molyneux's Milo demo. The Minecraft demo on the table they gave for example was very misleading, because when the camera guy got close to the table, he could still get the whole thing in the shot. Standing by the table you would only actually be able to see tiny slices at a time.

Some outlets have called it out as a big issue--The Verge ( http://www.theverge.com/2015/5/1/8527645/microsoft-hololens-... ), and Tested are two I've seen. I still think it is cool and it is the best that has been broadly publically demoed (Magic Leap has only been shown to a select few, and not in any kind of portable form; and at least some of their embodiments in their patents show only around 30 degree diagonal), but all the footage is misleading about FOV and most of it completely fakes occlusion. Google was guilty of the same with at least one of their big videos around a day in the life of Google Glass.

If I understand correctly, the CIE graph is just a 2D representation of the human eye spectral sensitivity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIE_1931_color_space
Basically take the human tristimulus response R, G, B; normalize it; after normalization the 3rd value can be derived from the other 2 (z=1-x-y), and is no longer needed; plot x,y -> the familiar CIE graph.
This to me is just further evidence that Apple has zero interest in improving anything on the App Store that does not directly affect their own profit or that of their key publishers. The simplest fix would be to prohibit reviews from devices running beta versions, but given that hasn't happened in the years this has been a problem, it likely won't ever.

1. Up until recently, it was not know that Ohanian was behind the termination. Users naturally assumed it was based on a decision by Pao since Pao had seem to make other decisions (fph, etc)

2. It speaks to her character. She has an affair with a married coworker and the sues for a very specific amount (see point 4)

3. According to posts by Croach, Pao agreed to let him keep his job and then rescinded the next day. we may never know the truth on this.

4. "Failed hedge fund" is one way to put it, lol. The guy is accused of running a ponzi that steals from firefighters pensions. He apparently owes a bunch of money for legal fees and the Pao lawsuit conveniently requested this amount (this might be a coincidence). However, the bans are well documented facts (http://www.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/35uyil/transp...). Of all the comments in the thread, only the Pao\Fletcher ones received bans. If pao didnt personally click the "shadowban" button, it seems pretty clear she ordered them.

5. They may have technically been banned for "harassment" but the messaging was clear from Pao herself: "Our goal is to enable as many people as possible to have authentic conversations and share ideas and content on an open platform". It seems reddit users really hates "MBA speak" about "authentic conversations" when someone on the site is censoring authentic conversations about subjects the admins dont agree with (see point 4)

I was actually thinking of the evidence of tectonic forces, too. Like a long inhale and exhale collected by the mass of the body and realized at the borders of geologic transformation every plutonic year? There's something beautiful about the image.

An even more exotic arrangement, beyond electrochemical processes, to somehow 'metabolize' matter directly into energy would exceed the definition of life in my opinion, as though it would be life 2.0 or something, and also have a pretty fascinating impact on the universe.

Completely agree. I am using SLIME+SBCL a lot right now and these articles are coming at a great time. They really help to demonstrate the power of the tooling.
Somebody needs to concentrate on the boring stuff... in particular, making sure all the stuff on npm etc actually works...

The few times I try and use "hipster stuff", like yeoman generators, they don't really work out the box, and it feels like I could have spent that time manually getting things working, also a lot of complexity is added.

In a similar way, the churn rate of JS libs is just absolutely insane.

I've been using OS X for under a year, and I've run into two major problem that, in my opinion, are completely inexcusable.

* Trying to save files in Pages/Numbers, I get an error "Cannot save file. File does not exist." (Well of course it doesn't exist, I haven't saved it yet!) Lost several hours of work multiple times because I couldn't save files. And that is a total shit error message.

* Trying to move folders on a remote server. I get a dialog that says "Finder wants to make changes" and asks for my admin password. (What changes? WTF?) Files got deleted when moved. And also a total shit 'warning' message.

OS X is far more frustrating and useless than any other OS I've ever used. It doesn't give reasonable error messages, and it doesn't keep your stuff safe. It's a confusing minefield.

As long as everything I do is in a non-Apple application, I can get things done. And don't even get me started on OS X mouse support.
So in short, you didn't see the main article link, and that made you think they might be doing lots of wacky scrolling/sideways/etc. stuff, none of which they actually did?

Because it's mature, fast and proven and has good comparability (Achilles hill: C extension support + numpy) , and it would benefit a lot from a high-profile contributor.

I suspect that Dropbox has a bunch of custom C extension code (Pyston puts C extension support as a high priority), which may have been a contributing factor here.
Its an interesting proposition, although I'm not sure that you can really make that leap with just solar, wind, and batteries. There is a lot of base load to make up for.

I could see however individual houses become independent of the grid. And that will have tremendous benefits when things like storms hit, no longer knocking out power to residents, simply factories and office buildings and street lights. Presumably with a more simplified infrastructure that could be protected and repaired more easily.

If NASDAQ started operating in bitcoins blockchain, the influx capital into it would be so insanely astronomical that the scale of the operation would be impossible to 50%.

When people talk about 50% control of bitcoins blockchain today, they are talking about mining pools, where the ones promising the best dividends get all the registrations and thus get a huge chunk of the mining community. Which just means they always sit at 40 - 49% share in the market, and never 50%, because miners know better.

I would have to doubt the feasibility of even an entity as insanely huge as NASDAQ being able to justify enough computational power to get basically one falsified transaction in bitcoin, before the fact NASDAQ was 51%ing bitcoin caused that huge investment in bitcoin mining I mentioned earlier.

So 51%ing bitcoin is a chicken and egg problem. Any source of capital large enough to monolithically 51% the network is also large enough to bring so much attention to bitcoin that new miners would drive the network size up immediately afterwards. You would probably never be able to maintain continuous 51% control over that kind of runaway interest.

That's not necessarily true. While I agree that the production of these chemicals takes a lot of energy/resources which may not be worth the tradeoff within the human body, there is no reason to believe such benefits cannot be achieved through externally produced drugs. Also, evolution is a game of chance, and the required mutations may not have occurred in humans yet.
It amazes me that we humans have made something that has travelled over seven billion kilometers in cold dark emptiness and sends us highly detailed photographs of things we have never seen before.
> they could make arbitrary changes to the blockchain

It's not that bad. See https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Weaknesses

"An attacker that controls more than 50% of the network's computing power can, for the time that he is in control, exclude and modify the ordering of transactions. This allows him to:

Reverse transactions that he sends while he's in control. This has the potential to double-spend transactions that previously had already been seen in the block chain.
Prevent some or all transactions from gaining any confirmations
Prevent some or all other miners from mining any valid blocks

The attacker can't:

Reverse other people's transactions
Prevent transactions from being sent at all (they'll show as 0/unconfirmed)
Change the number of coins generated per block
Create coins out of thin air
Send coins that never belonged to him"

Regarding your "edit", perhaps voters don't consider your comment that insightful, especially when you spread negative information about bitcoin, such as 50% attacks allowing attackers to "make arbitrary changes to the blockchain".

I used to take modafinil quite heavily. It was great for being able to get up at 4am before my day job and get work done. I did notice that although it made me more awake and made it easier to get into the zone I tended to be so driven to get things done that I wouldn't think deeply about problems. I often wrote scrappy code to get shit done then realize a few days later it could have been written far quicker and neater in some other way. Though this may have been due to lack of sleep as you can't really tell if you've been getting enough when taking modafinil.
