Mean pretax salary for programmers in argentina is 25k pesos per month, which works out to almost 20k dollars per year, far above the average for the country. Median is a litle bit lower. About 90% male.
How much will #self-driving-cars cost to ride in? Brad Templeton suggests 14¢ per passenger mile for inexpensive robotaxis.
#Energy storage is on a pretty quick learning curve, and has dropped by a factor of 10 since the 1990s to US$0.26/kWh round-tripped, but adiabatic compressed-air energy storage and flow batteries are likely to be cheaper than lithium-ion batteries.
On 2016-09-20, #Abu-Dhabi in the #UAE reports that the lowest bid on their energy auction was AED 88.8 (US$24.2) per MWh, by Marubeni and JinkoSolar Holding Co.; other bids are US$25.4/MWh (Masdar, EDF, PAL Technology), 25.9 (Tenaga, Phelan Energy), 29.1 (RWE, Belectric), 30.8 (JGC, First Solar, Sojitz), and 36.3 (KEPCO, Hanwha Q Cells, GSE). The Marubeni complex would be of 1170 MW, although the tender was for only 350 MW. Last month Chile’s similar auction had a lowest bid of US$29.1/MWh.

a formal language for #reputation-systems for #social-networks. “Anyone can make statements in dewDrop, and anyone can aggregate those statements to reach conclusions using all the knowledge of their social graph. Only the people you trust - directly or transitively - will have their statements weighted when you build conclusions.”
mostly things about “the scholarly method” are from people who want to rewrite history in a self-serving way, but this Wikipedia article seems relatively evenhanded (if bizarrely partial and disorganized). #science

A bunch of stuff I don’t understand about #logic and #computability in the context of competing AI agents that are able to examine each other’s code and compute things about it. Refers to a bunch of SIAI stuff like “Kripke frames” and “modal combat” that I know nothing about, as well as stuff like Löb’s Theorem that I know a little bit about.
