This is addressed by the article: Those "eligible resources" are defined solely as coal, hydroelectric, natural gas, nuclear, oil, and individual net metering. The latter includes home solar or wind installations in which the o

I've found the exact opposite, in my experience. I have a lot of experience in several broader areas in software development, and I've had far more success in bigger companies than I have in startups. I've found that that s

Can you elaborate on this? How do you implement "kindness" into the prisoner's dilemma? Got any links to the relevant studies?

Disagree. IRV introduces some bizarre nonlinearities in the voting space that could lead to shockingly unintuitive behaviour. See these voting simulations for an example: http://zesty.ca/voting/sim/ A better syste

It's worth noting that this is in Brazil, which is notorious for having ludicrous import tariffs for technology, including gaming tech. I was there a few years ago and you still saw PS2 games on the shelf at major electronic retailers,

Those scenarios aren't comparable. For gun manufacturers, you need a person choosing to use a gun irresponsibly or maliciously to cause damage. Car liability is more complicated, but in a lot of cases it's the driver that's h

People are already paying to promote apps though. I've heard of plenty of app developers paying for huge numbers of app installs in bulk in order to get them to the App Store's top downloaded lists. This is Apple trying to capture

"…usually performed at the conclusion of a project…" Conclusion, not unsuccessful conclusion. It's not incorrect to use it for any retrospective for a project that has concluded, regardless of whether it's successful or

There's a common fallacy that happens frequently when Silicon Valley technologists start talking about Nintendo, and that is the idea that "their hardware can never compete with the ubiquity of mobile platforms, they should just b

And this one is so much better for actual RPGs, it has sounds that are much more relevant for your typical D&D session. No coffee shops or highway sounds, but instead creature growls, rattling of horse-drawn carriages, and the clanging

You think that's bad? I only upgraded to Windows 10 last week, and within minutes of booting it up, it quietly started downloading "Candy Crush Soda Saga" without my permission. I only caught it because I noticed the download

I'm sorry, what? Last vestige? That's not even close to being correct. Off the top of my head, here are some websites that still have a separate mobile domain: YouTube, Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, and a whole host of smaller websit

So in short, by comparing identical twins, this study found that people with better mental health tended to achieve a higher education, meaning that the arrow of causality doesn't go the other way: education doesn't necessarily im

In my opinion, this is actually one of the benefits of simplified characters as compared to traditional. They have much more varied shapes and as such are easier to tell apart at a glance: compare characters like: 双飞机会带着几个人 to: 雙飛機會帶著幾個人 Bo

This is what happens when companies are expected to sustain themselves on ever-increasing investment money until an IPO, instead of actually making money themselves. It's a Keynesian beauty contest gone wrong.

Structure of arrays vs. array of structures. I.e. Having one struct that contains several arrays as its members, vs. having one array that contains several structs as its elements. The former keeps like data together, so when you need to, f

Heartbleed was the first one to do that: they gave it a suitably scary name, dedicated website, and logo. The result is that the media went wild over it, and people have been trying to replicate that reaction ever since.

I'd like to take the opportunity to point out that when people talk about how mobile touch interfaces have "low discoverability", comments like this are exactly what they're talking about .

Dark matter isn't made of protons, neutrons, or anything as pedestrian as that. It's a sort of "placeholder name" for an effect seen in situations like the collision of galaxies, where there seems to be more gravitationa

There are plenty of those. Voice recognition is nothing new—I remember playing around with "speakable items" back in Mac OS 7 . It did well enough to recognize certain key words and phrases.
