It is to create barriers to entry where possible. If you are rent-seeking greedy co, then why would you give away useful knowledge, not to mention for free? Also good documentation could make you create a replacement product or have better understanding what to look for in a substitute.
More modern designs can ramp faster, but still not fast. The main issue is that the largest cost of a nuclear power plant is the capital investment to build it and staff to run it, which is fixed. In comparison fuel costs seem to hover at about 25%.

Therefore you need to run your plant at about full power all day to have a chance to recoup the investment. With renewable, although intermittent, sources vastly undercutting nuclear on price many hours of the day this becomes an even harder calculation.

Based on this nuclear is an uniquely bad pairing together with renewables, and it will only get worse. Say you can make massive profits on average one hour per day, but that means all other methods of energy generation of storage can make the same, and still undercut you.

This isn't even factoring in that it is impossible to get insurance for a nuclear power plant.
I don't general believe in these titles (senior, junior, etc.) but recruiters blindly filter for such words. So, I have always been a "senior" in my public profiles. On my CV I never used the word "senior" or "junior" once.
It may not be for Paris, but in my experience it is for most Spanish cities - there's usually a clear centre of course, but also many small self-contained walkable neighbourhoods distributed throughout the city.

It'd be interesting to find a good metric to be able to compare cities and explore this.

One day the USA is gonna start getting slapped with sanctions for all the stuff it does. I don’t think they’re prepared for that.
Ah yes, me neither (and I'm not interested in the nooks and crannies)

But there are some places that managed to "get it".
It's a fake. The account's name is Ivan Gotyaovoich, which has a grand total of two results on Google.
I strongly doubt that, but thanks for your concern. =)
I'm a native Ohioan and have (had?) lived in California for the past 4 years. Currently I'm abroad in South America, and I have to say I miss tipping. Why? Because when there isn't an incentive for the staff to give good service, I often get terrible service. It can take ages to get served, I'll often request something when food is first brought and don't receive it until I'm already done with my meal, etc. Part of this is certainly related to the laid back attitude of Latin America cultures, but if the service employees were incentivized to give better service they probably wouldn't stand around talking to each other for 15 minutes while my friends and I are waiting on another beer.

Now I do hate that in the States there are now tip jars at all sorts of establishments, but to me restaurants and bars I much prefer tipping culture.
I'm very very skeptical but, by all indications, Amazon does appear to be quite serious about it however much it initially looked like a PR stunt.
Off-topic: as a paying newyorker.com subscriber I resent the fact that the New Yorker uses page-covering video ads, and I resent the fact that they're incompetently implemented even more (they're borked on mobile devices that are zoomed or in landscape mode).
This is a nice site, but it's worth mentioning what exactly 90% coverage entails in practice. It's more painful than people might realize.

It’s definitely part of what it’s about. No one should have to struggle to survive or work an exploitative job.

I think that’s where we’re at as a species. We should be able to provide baseline survival to all.
Shoot, my apologies - I should have checked before posting.

Depends on what you're building. If you're making your own AR-15 lower, there's no detrimental impact on accuracy - all of those parts are contained within the 'upper', which (in the US) is not regulated as a firearm.

If you're building from scratch, though, accuracy is really not going to happen. Not unless you have actual machine tools and training.
I look at it like nothing < SMS 2fac, app OTP, fido2.

Every layer buys you a little bit (or a lot) more, raising the skill level and/or cost. Fido2 is much harder to phish but of course weaknesses may be found in the future.
unfortunatly apple's corporate support (genius) is garbage compared to dell's corporate pro support.
and the xps can be bought with linux (with support). also dell does not use the latest cpu in the xps 13 lineup.

you really can't compare the two. especially not when it comes to application that run on them.
A while ago, in my youth, I worked longside guys who had been let out. Yes, they do seek weaknesses and they know what they are. They know the vulnerable population and the population that does not fight. Example, they would hit richer folks for certain things because they would not get chased as they would more than likely have insurance. They had many stories to tell. They go to SF and they avoid DC (San Mateo Co.). It's not xenophobia or wealthphobia or whatnotphobia. No it's easyphilia.
I feel stupidly lucky that I got to where I am today. I was living in a friend's apartment with about $100 in "savings" and no job prospects in a town where I knew one person.

Now, I own a house, work as a software developer and get paid nearly stupid amounts of money.

Luck, a few good people (Brian, we still appreciate the $100!), and a natural affinity for computers are all that separate me from working those same minimum wage jobs and living hand to mouth.

However, having crossed that line in both directions has also made me aware that even with all of that, I'm still only a few months of unemployment away from being homeless again. I only hope that the startup I work for doesn't go under, and that if it does I can find another good paying job.
All I ask is that your social movement be less injurious to society than being wasted behind the wheel.
Roblox is an extremely robust modding platform and they allow modders to make money. There are entire commercial studios who build games withn Roblox.
Have you travelled or lived in central or South America? WhatsApp is critical social infrastructure. WhatsApp is used more than telephones. For everything. Businesses advertise their WhatsApp contact before, or even omitting, a telephone number. People you meet want your WhatsApp for communication, not your telephone number. WhatsApp has become critical to these countries as the primary form of communication.
That depends on the client; Quicksy (https://quicksy.im/) makes contact discovery pretty easy.
I also proposed this python library (https://github.com/MatteoGuadrini/fontpreview) because it is really well done! I also tried using the FontBanner class to do more complex things:
from fontpreview import FontBanner
fb = FontBanner('/tmp/noto.ttf', 'landscape', bg_color=(253, 194, 45))
fb.save('/tmp/fb.png')
You can also upload background images:
fb.bg_image = 'image/path.jpg'
fb.draw()

Rationality does not enter into any of this from either side.

People have drastically different worldviews. Those are beliefs that are cognitive foundations and are virtually impervious to logic or anything else.

I think part of the problem is that worldviews go along with group membership. So I think if there is going to be an improvement it will involve somehow modifying the group dynamics, which will have a surprising effect on the viewpoint divergence/convergence.
I'm actually not sure if you're genuine or aloof. Talking about one last chance after someone does despicable things is despicable.

I imagine its a raise the money while people are offering it kind of thing. With twitter(as with facebook), its been a race to a business model and profitability, you have some money if you want to keep the lights on.

I'm fine with the government claiming a state secrets privilege and the judge upholding it based on an in camera review. However, I see no reason for the case not to go forward with the available evidence publicly presented. This is a reasonable check on the government use of the privilege. If the government wants to hold back evidence, then the case gets decided on the available evidence presented to the fact-finder.
The relationship between hard work and income is very slight. The price of labour comes from supply and demand. There's little shortage of people willing to work hard. Skill, knowledge, networks: that's what people pay for, not hard work.

Now turn your perspective around. How fair is the distribution of educational opportunity and, especially, networking opportunity with powerful people?

Progressive taxes don't do my income any good. But I wouldn't be in the position I am today without them; I grew up poor, too poor to own a family computer, never mind a family car. I still resent the lack of information I had about educational opportunities. And more than anything, I wonder what we could achieve if the impoverished of the world didn't need to scratch out subsistence living, and could instead apply themselves to the limits of their ability.
You're mistaken in thinking the purpose of many blogs is to disseminate information. Think instead: ads, click throughs, followers, links, etc.

It's probably a side gig, which is amazing. It means taxi didn't need to be a job all along.

Hmm, how about applying the same standards to the solution as you would to internally-committed code (peer reviews, etc)?
I don't mean to be negative, but why should I pay $29/year for blogging platform when I can install something like Jekyll on a free Heroku (or insert your favorite PaaS) and host my posts on another free blogging site, like Tumblr.

Basically I'm asking what's so great about Silvrback over other free alternatives?
this is a very good idea.

i've had multiple interviews where i did well on the phone and the tech-out, only to receive a "take home exercise".. with guidelines such as "it will be graded by style and architecture in addition to correctness of function".

This would mean half of my saturday in a coffee shop coding an elaborate solution using latest technology and good patterns.. with some resentment because i just wasted hours of precious (and scarce) free time.

Not only has this never lead to an offer, but in some cases i'd not hear back for weeks, with eventual vague comment like "it was good, but not great" or "it was great, but we decided to go with someone who happened to have more experience in X domain".. that's nice..
From the article:

> "Relying on someone else's IT to keep your business up and operating perfectly is like walking across Times Square without looking at traffic and relying on every bus, taxi bike and pedicab to give you the right of way automatically."

I enjoyed a quote I read on here the other day, paraphrased for symmetry:

Relying on someone else's Information Technology to keep your business up and operating perfectly is like relying on someone else's Structural Engineering to build and operate the skyscraper you use for your office.

Your business is unique in some way. Choose the right partners to rely on to do what they do well, so you can work on doing what you do better.
Fond memories of Ballblazer. An amazing creation for a ~2 MHz 8 bit cpu.

Many things - that are not made of water. The reason it preserves these planes is a dearth of water; the desert sucks the water out of everything, which prevents rust and kills most kinds of life.

That's a good (and standard) practice that solves the problem if your project never has more than one PR open at a time.
Culture doesn't always help. It's a step in the right direction, but even in the best development environments, some developers just don't improve their understanding of complex code.

So then the company solves the problem by having a higher standard for hiring new developers. Eventually this becomes unsupportable because finding developers who can pick and use an in-house framework is costly and often impossible.

Keep it simple overrides make it SOLID.
I think that's a little silly, or rather worded imprecisely. Freedom in all directions prohibits all structure, all implementation.

Terrifying? Practically every Android app wants all that stuff. What for? No idea. Alternative? Don't use the app. Sigh, click "permit". Thanks to the GDPR, a ton of web sites now have "agree to our intrusive policy" and "go away" options. I just want to get to the web site, so "agree". 100 page EULA? Agree without reading.

Between the two of them, they own less than 20% of the company. Is this a lot? Not in my opinion. They sold 80% of their company.
You can talk plain text protocol through a TLS or SSL-encrypted connection, even interactively.

Example:

{ echo GET / HTTP/1.0 ; echo ; sleep 1 ; } | openssl s_client -connect www.google.com:443

Or just :

openssl s_client -connect www.google.com:443

then type interactively GET / HTTP/1.0 then press enter twice.
> the Nespresso analogy is ridiculous

Well, sort of :-) Nespresso is a famous implementation of a "your basic machine stays static, you swap out a different element of the system based on temporary/current needs, but you can only buy those elements from one vendor" pattern. Printer ink cartridges are another.

Yeah, add-on cards to a computer aren't consumables per se - but the entire premise is that as time goes on you might want to get new ones (because your current needs change), i.e. upgrade. Whether I can pick upgrades from different vendors, and what the tax imposed on creating and/or selling upgrades is, matters.
No it's the opposite. It's a very low chance at a high payout, a lottery ticket.

Collecting pennies in front of a steamroller is a very high chance at a very low payout (with a small chance of a big loss).
So a ThinkPad in Mac shell? Is the framework flexible enough to switch an Intel processor for AMD Ryzen without having to replace the entire motherboard?
Shadowstats is a crank website, and "eye opening" in the same way as anti-vaxers and 5G radiation truther websites are "eye opening" to a significant number of people without much expertise in the field.

Shadowstats are not "tracking the real inflation for a few decades", they're just adding about 3 to 4 %-points to the BLS inflation and peddling those numbers as a paid subscription. If you want to want to know the *shocking truth about the Real Inflation* accoding to shadowstats, save yourself the money and brain damage of reading conspiracy sites: just download the official inflation from BLS or FRED and add 3-4%-point every month.

The implication of these shadowstats "true inflation numbers" is that the US economy has been in constant depression since the 1980s or so. I'll leave the credibility of that up to the reader.
This is so deceptive and dishonest.

Realtime mass surveillance of every party who receives money is isomorphic to realtime mass surveillance of everyone.

Every person who sends funds received them previously and is sending them to someone who is receiving them.

Taler's surveilling is continuous, unaccountable, and operates without any due process what so ever: No court is required to authorize surveilling your records, nor can you even detect it to fight the intrusion.

The claim that the mass surveillance is required to enable taxation is outright untrue and inconsistent with longstanding practice. Taxation, including sales taxes, existed for a long time before low privacy electronic payment networks existed.
That is definitely a big miss. Looking only at cash, my rate of compensation increase was about 7.5% per year (in reality, it was typically a couple years at 1-2% with some big jumps). When stock is factored into the equation, the average jumps to about 12.5%!
This is similar to the Dunning-Kruger effect. From Wikipedia[1], "The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled people make poor decisions and reach erroneous conclusions, but their incompetence denies them the metacognitive ability to appreciate their mistakes."

To put it plainly, incompetent people are more confident in their poor abilities than competent people are in theirs well-developed skills. Moreover, and incompetent people are unable to accurately measure the extent of their incompetence.

Instead of making us all feel confident and superior to those who are not as capable as we are, I think the better takeaway is that we are all subject to the effect. Because of this, we should be on guard for the situations where we are unjustifiably certain of our conclusions.

If the app itself is part of the image you need to rebuild the image every time a dev wants to test their change.
Same reason why Germany didn’t colonize much, they didn’t exist.
I must have been unclear; the question is should we allow people to leverage their UBI, and should we guarantee people food and medical care if they are careless with their UBI.

Libertarians would probably say "maybe" and "no" respectively, while others are more likely to say "no" and "yes".

Personal responsibility and freedom imply the freedom to be irresponsible and starve. Lots of people feel icky about that.
Again, they are not bringing racial and gender disparties up for idle conversation; usually what comes after is what they want society to do about it. All you have to do is say "okay, for the sake of argument what you say is true. What happens next?" and then you see intentions. A lot aren't good.
For many people they’re all just digital paper - and they work with it like they would with a notebook.
Often any of these chemicals kill the soil microbiology. The real problem according to regenerative farming advocates is the idea that dumping loads of artificial chemicals on to the field is some path to a solution. The alternative is to understand the living nature of the soil and feed it the way you would feed any other living thing.

So it is not a choice between “this chemical” or “that chemical” and many view that kind of thinking as the real problem. In this way the GMOs that you describe support that problematic kind of thinking.

That said, I am not familiar with what you describe. Which chemicals did not break down and how did GMOs allow us to use chemicals that do break down? I’d like to learn about that. Thank you!
The WSJ has much worse editors than the NYTimes. They really allow a lot of bias.
As a midwestern conservative [evangelical] christian homeschooled white man, female nudity = sex = sin. As a normal adult married to a woman with a 9 month old baby yeah nudity aversion is ridiculous and actively harms natural processes like breastfeeding. It’s absurd that we parents, along with everyone else, have to pretend genitals don’t exist or some precious thing to hide away and treasure.
