Your comment makes it seem like you're commenting on the article, but you're not. I'll admit to being rather confused as to why a top level comment has nothing to do with the article at all.

To make the costs more comparable, in the report he mentions, they estimate 2.5% per year of the installed battery capacity cost as the ongoing maintenance costs. And, the batteries have an 85% efficiency rating meaning they'd need 92

Why not just make a simple script to do that? I wrote one in Python ages ago to add up's to the firewall that tried various names, failed # of logins etc... Nothing a few hours of scripting can't solve!

Just because you think it's worth 45, doesn't mean everyone else agrees. You'd ideally want to stop out somewhat close to your open and reassess your trade, and maybe even reverse on a break under. I'd rather get out at

On the homepage of the OED it says "More than 600,000 words, over a thousand years". Who's right? Who knows anymore.

looks good. I made something similar just for my own use that includes short summaries of the articles using a text analyzer. How come you don't have Reuters and the AP?

I know how that feels. I wrote a little c++ program to fetch data in Unicode from a dB and then normalize it to ascii to be used for analytic purposes. A lot faster to do it on ascii than trying to handle all the fun cases of how many ways

I'll just toss into the fray the OED entry for Facile: facile, a. (ˈfæsaɪl, -ɪl) Forms: 5–6 facyl(l)e, 6–8 facil(l, 5– facile. [a. Fr. facile, ad. L. facil-is easy to do; also of persons, easy of access, courteous, easy to deal with, p

You don't. You can still run local accounts.

I've ran into weird issues like that before. After so many updates, I'm guessing something gets broken somewhere, somehow. Back up your extension settings and bookmarks, and do a fresh install of it. Bit of a nuisance but usually

Inhabitable actually means "Capable of being inhabited, occupied, or tenanted." and "Not habitable, not adapted to human habitation, uninhabitable." The joys of english.

If you just need a simple script to download youtube videos, here's a very basic one I made as a wrapper to youtube-dl. You'll need to edit the option string to the path you want it to save videos to. I have it set to not download

Couldn't you just make your own off the tick data you're streaming?

Not to mention that it's always just a hairsbreadth away from being obliterated by Governments if they ever choose to.

What purpose is that? To project power and bully people, sure. If everyone has a gun, no one has a gun. If no one has a gun, everyone has a gun. If one person has a gun, he calls the shots.

Haha true enough. I'm sure the truth in this case in somewhere in the middle. Reading any marketing material should always be done with a healthy dose of skepticism.

I don't think converting is slow by itself depending on what you need done. I have a function in my code I wrote to convert strings of floats/doubles to a rounded string of however many digits you want(for storing financial data t

Agreed. I deal with financial data which is in well-defined formats for the various asset classes. You can save a lot of time by just writing some parsing functions to deal with your exact needs and avoid needless work. And, hopefully avoid

That's extremely difficult to explain for many, many reasons. Ignoring a great deal, basically that debt either needs to be paid off when it matures or rolled over into bonds e.g. issuing debt to receive cash that can be used in paying

I'm honestly a bit confused. This is the second comment I've seen regarding the lack of this feature. It's not one I ever use purposefully, so maybe I just don't understand what's missing. But, with Firefox on my Sa

On mobile? Because it works fine on my Samsung phone. Although, I very rarely use it, so take that for what it's worth.

Not to mention the sheer difference in performance between the two. I've found regexes to be magnitudes faster than parsers, for extracting data, that is.

I'd also recommend The science of good cooking by Guy Crosby. I found it to be a more enjoyable read than McGee's. Not as technical which was a boon for me since as a home cook there's a lot more information that can be readi

I found CLRS to be far too verbose for my liking. Skiena was as you said. My favourite is Sedgewick. More terse than CLRS; doesn't drone on and on and on.

Probably more accurate as hundreds of millions.

Pretty much what Mark said. The simplistic definition as most people in NA use them would be: Condos are typically a building where all the units in it are owned by their respective tenants. Apartments are typically a building owned by a Co

I don't think really anyone has difficulty understanding the concept of a pointer. It's their usage that trips people up, and that most tutorials I've seen gloss over, which is where all the confusion stems from.

Neither am I. It's pretty simple to do though, and the performance of the steps that aren't encoding are a lot quicker as it's mainly just copying the encoded files to an intermediate format, and then concatenating those toge

Rigged? All they have to do is change the methodology of how it's calculated. http://www.shadowstats.com/alternate_data/inflation-charts
