Cost is typically LCOE - levelized cost - which takes life time, maintenance, fuel, construction, etc into consideration
This is quite a complex topic and you can google and wiki LCOE for all the gory details.
Can anyone comment on the CPU requirements for such a system? (either this one or AlphaGo) How many commutative CPU/GPU hrs are required to get to here?
Just make sure you have an over night bag ready ;)
Prediction market have been declared illegal in the US.
UIGEA carve out is specifically restricted to sports and scoring related simulation (guess who lobbied for it).
This is regardless of various state-specific laws, as well as the current daily-league legal battle.
Any futures trading is also regulated by the CFTC
yep.. seems to work in alpha..
No changes required to other DHT node. Which is cool. And i was specifically aiming for a low/scalable bandwidth overhead
Each new "announce" propagation is kinda slow.. 1-10min to spread through the DHT..
Actually - i have been playing around with building a feed on top of a single torrent - so it would be one torrent per user - and subscribers to the torrent would (hopefully ;)) get a feed of updates
Could this interest u ?
Does this create a new DHT entry per tweet or per user ?
I think the DHT itself can quickly become overloaded/slow - DHT does impose some b/w overhead for each node
I am more worried about the obvious attack of sending a person a large known plaintext, and then using this to decrypt his tarball.
Setting aside the effects of hype, hipness and herd -iness..
Are you asking about the language or the platform ??
The usual argument for node vs java (for example) is that node has many small libraries (really code sniplets) which are instantly usable. So a lower activation energy!
As far as platform, the technical merits of a JVM are so much down the road so as to be completely meaning less at the critical early stages.
Nice app. Please please add any sort of import capability
(You can look at simplenote export/import csv/json format)
Why oh why do people still write standard GUI applications in non-portable platform ?!
Its a mystery to me
Free beats the rest ;)
Trello???
It is so under powered. They been at it for years and still no decent SEARCH, no proper sub-tasks or dependencies, etc.
To me, it feels like there is no real active development on this.
man.. the internet really is full of crappy domains...
(and yes.. now i see that you mentioned it in the article.. took me time to get there)
Can you comment on how many additional domains you mined - compared (for example) to the 1M domains from alexa top-1M
Can you please comment on the UX ? Which libraries / frameworks u r using ?
The design looks slick and professional
The article is completely unprofessional. The tone itself is very one-sided - which is bad enough. However, the factual omissions are ridiculous.
Here are a few examples:
the area used for wind turbines is large, but it is usually re-usable for agriculture, or increasingly off shore
official nuclear death are low - but there is a lot of dispute on the "long tail" of long term deaths from the big nuclear disasters of Ukraine and Japan
they (correctly) mention the environmental cost of materials for renewable energy, but ignore the similar pollution of Uranium mining and enrichment
4th generation nuclear reactor are still not even past the design stage. How can anyone even put a price tag on these ?
3rd generation nuclear reactor are more expensive than claimed in the article. The real prices of real reactors in the real world in the past decade are x3 the expected costs.
There is simply not enough uranium for a full build out of 3rd generation nuclear. 4th generation will be required, and it is still in the r&d stage
There is no mention of the huge problem of load-following when using nuclear plants. You cant just assume 90% CF and then ignore this.
Most importantly, IMHO, they completely ignore the learning curve for solar & wind. This is a proven trend, over last decades, appears to be set to continue, and completely changes the discussion.
And on and on....
My own views are pro-nuclear AND pro-renewable. But this requires a scientific and accurate discussion!
Startup are hard and full of compromises ;(
The only the real red flag i see is whether you trust your technical co-founder. I assume you do.
The other issues u raise are not unexpected.
1. MBA guy turns out to be sleazy. Well duh.. Thats his job!
2. previous advisor gets burned. Well duh.. As soon as you made the decision to go with your new MBA partner with lots of equity this was bound to happen. Not every one wins.
3.CEO makes decisions which upsets you. Well - thats his job. To get the numbers up, revenue up, growth up. you need to give him a fair chance to do his job. How would you feel if he started refactoring your code?
4.your equity and vesting seems fair and you appear to be properly protected (@samsheen). If the times come and everyone else agrees that ROLE changes are required - then so be it. This should not effect your equity.
5. I find your co-founder seems to have a more mature reaction to these issues. this is a good sign! Maybe you have to accept that life is not perfect.
But everything above changes if you no longer trust your original co-founder.
Hope it helps!
