>Nuclear construction costs in the US did spiral out of control, especially after the Three Mile Island meltdown in 1979. But this wasn't universal. Countries like ... Japan kept costs fairly stable during this period

So if we keep costs down like Japan did we can experience the same cost savings they did?

It briefly touches on it, but the idea is to use something called an "Alcubierre drive". Obviously in an article aimed at the layman they won't go into a deep explanation about how such a drive would work, but they do say the first thing they need is an existence proof. This is still very theoretical and it's likely that it's not physically possible to do.
BBVA barely had a footprint in the US before the Simple acquisition so it wasn't insurance, it was one of the cheapest ways to enter the US market.
The thing that strikes me about it is how this article makes Zappos sound so much like Scientology or other cults. Maybe it's just because I have a paranoid, skeptical, anti-ideological streak, but the similarities are striking to me. Let me count the ways:

You have the eccentric supreme leader, who claims to be just another equal among the group, yet issues edicts that the whole organization must follow. Scientology has Hubbard, Zappos has Hsieh.

You have the doctrine based on moving the organization and individuals towards a pure state, untainted by the way the rest of the world operates. Scientology has 'clear', Zappos has 'teal' and 'self-management'.

You have the lingo that only people within the fold understand. Everything that everyone does is couched in terms that are invented by the group, or especially words that are redefined with specific meaning, creating a kind of dialect for group members that diverges from the mainstream. This makes it difficult for them to communicate with outsiders or leave the group, and also makes it difficult for outsiders to investigate and understand the group. Scientology has words like 'tones' and 'ethics' and 'holidays', Zappos has 'circles' and 'lead links' and 'roles' and 'distractions'.

You have people who don't fit (i.e, accept and submit to the doctrine and leadership) be driven out. If you're one of these people, it's treated as a personal failing on your part: you haven't haven't been willing to accept the doctrine, which is taken to be self-evidently correct and ideal, and cannot be allowed to taint the group. Scientology has its 'suppressives', and Zappos has 'the Beach'.

Are there more? Maybe. Am I just imagining them, and it's really no stranger than any other company that's a bit insular... like Apple for example? I don't know. But reading this article definitely tripped my 'cult' alarm.
That question is part of the interesting discussion. If you scan a statue and then print that scan, you've clearly made a copy of something. So the scan is, by some definitions, also "the thing". But you created the scan and had to clean it up and fix weird bugs where a pixel was out of place etc, so the scan is also its own thing.

So one argument goes that making the scan is a creative process and it gets its own copyright, and using that scan to produce a copy of a piece of art goes to a different copyright. But is that printed copy a derivative work? or a copy? Was the scan "new art"? or was it "technical recreation?"

There are a lot of interesting angles. I heard a discussion on NPR about paintings that had been severely damaged due to natural disasters and museums hired artists who were familiar with the style, and with materials similar to the original artists, work to restore the painting from pictures of its previous state. Of course the restoration artists can't exactly reproduce the painting and they bring their own talent and creativity to the process. So are they now part owner of the copyright? Is it a partnership work? One artist dead, the other alive? Clearly if it was a work for hire with copyright assignment that is moot for the artist but does the museum now have some claim of copyright?

Some of the more interesting rabbit holes you can get lost in when you take a very technical approach to copyright.

I'm not disputing the existence of safety/efficacy standards. I'm disputing the implementation.

A "gentlemen's agreement" is bound to disintegrate - it's just begging for someone to defect. If regulatory mechanisms allow exploits like this they are clearly broken.

Of course it's unlikely the FDA will fix this since their incentives are just as broken. If they prevent millions of people from getting potentially lifesaving drugs they keep their jobs. But if a few photogenic babies die due to a drug that they approved, congressional inquiry incoming!
From the outside, I think a lot is demonstrated by comparing Valve and Zappos

Namely, Valve just did it, Zappos made a big deal about doing it

( I know that Zappos consulted Valve about their organization, at least according to a friend that works at Valve, but no idea what Zappos took from that consultation )
Amazon is having issues with strict hierarchical management and stacked ranking. Everybody has issues. Zappos is, at least, trying something that has a good chance of creating a disruptively different outcome. Good or bad, we'll see, but there is little point in tweaks on the margins.

I use LinkedIn (tech recruiter) daily but I have most of the features blocked.

I use my personal network or inmails (paid for by my employer) to contact people and my personal page is a landing page for developers.

I disabled the scrolling facebook like front page and I use buffer to post articles for me during the workday.

It's mostly helpful for getting job offers and generating interest in yourself. Even I get multiple recruitment messages a day so I can only imagine what developers inboxes look like. The problem for some people who haven't found it useful is most recruiters only target the young developers who look like they will be easy placements.

To clarify, their revenue isn't getting slashed by 2/3rds as Bass implies. Autocad perpetual license + 3yr support = $6000. Annual subscription price is $1700 (or $2500 if paying monthly).

Accounting is the language of business. If you go into business, you should either know it or be willing to learn. It's not good enough to have someone specialize in it for you unless you want to be handed your ass when it comes to anything regarding business valuation--which concerns more than raising capital and m&a. For a business with resources, capital allocation is perhaps the most important concern and accounting is the toolset you work with.
That's the cost of supporting code that is constantly being updated, you need to start freezing versions and backporting fixes. Also, I'm not sure what command line tools you're referring to as "differing over time". Kernel version freezing is mainly fear of new code (or out-of-tree vendor patchsets that depend very strongly on the kernel ABI which changes every few months -- but that's not user visible). Sure, if your system never changes anything you don't need to worry about software versions. But there are many other problems with that.
there are too many peasants for the oligarchy to control.

stalin famously said about the chinese peasants that if mao did kill 100 million of them, it wouldn't be so bad.

the problem is not too many people. not by a long shot. factually speaking, people could simply eat more veggies instead of eating livestock and the sheer number of acres and resources that frees up could sustain triple the number of people on the planet.

the issue is about control of civilization, not about 'humans' existing.

and the scary question to ask yourself is whether or not your value a certain type of future for humanity, or, whehter you simply value humanity, no matter what state or form civilization would take.

would you trade a future high tech civilization with murder and occasional warfare and suffering for a future society living in the dark ages with quintuple the number of people.

is 'more' people , better? just for its own sake.

and this begs the quesiton, WHO GETS TO MAKE MORE PEOPLE? AND WHO GETS TO IMPOSE THE RULES AGAINST THOSE WHO ARE PROHIBITED TO MAKE MORE PEOPLE.

it's all sounding very tyrannical isn't it.

well, that's not an accident.
Crucially though, you know that chap in the Zapos office wants to work in that environment. He made it that way. He's happy. That's great. That might be the case with Basecamp, but you don't really know.

The choice isn't between the clutter of Zapos or the open space zen of Basecamp. It's between the "make your own ideal workspace" freedom of Zapos (on a relatively small budget) and the "this what we made for you" design of Basecamp (on a relatively high budget). Some people will prefer Basecamp, but not everyone.

VerizonWireless does all sorts of ahem questionable things to the
network traffic passing through it, particularly unencrypted traffic
like plain HTTP. If you're concerned about image quality, one of their
more insidious but unnoticed intrusions is their on-the-fly

Always using a VPN (or SSH tunnel) solves most of the problems.

$ ssh me@example.com -4ND 127.0.0.1:1080

But you'll need to make sure ppp(8) ignores the HLDC errors they inject
into long standing sessions. It will work if your settings and chat
script are correct.

Lastly, check your contract; you might be one of the lucky ones who have
the clause stating VPN traffic is not counted towards your bandwidth cap
and/or rate limit.
AppAmaGooBookSoft want few things more in life than for their engineers to remain really, really smart at developing distributed databases and really, really stupid at salary negotiation. They want to avoid further repricing of their entire engineering workforces at once, as that costs (literally) billions of dollars. They take substantial measures to avoid this, including (in recent memory) at least two of those companies illegally colluding against their employees to avoid those employees learning accurate facts about market clearing prices for their labor.

This also helps develop cultural norms like e.g. "We're here to organize the world's information. It is Ungoogley to collect a spreadsheet about Googler salaries. That information should never be organized... by you, that is."
I think there's probably room for a great one day course (interactive, examples, etc.) to show tech people starting businesses the important points of law, finance, management, etc. Positive and negative examples (so people internalize the need), followed by principles, followed by clear guidelines, and some sample policies.

It's way more effective for me as a learner to understand "why" first, then the specifics of how -- most accounting, law, etc for non-experts is presented as hard/fast rules on what to do, with no real motivation.
Statisticians Find They Can Agree: It’s Time to Stop Misusing P-Values
Avoiding a pointless blockchain project
Last year I got to sit in a meeting with people from various nuclear fission startups, along with a former director of the NRC.

The startup people said their biggest problem was the NRC's regulatory model. All the current regulations are written for conventional reactors, with mandates that don't make sense for other reactor types.

If you want to build something else, you can, but you have to spend a couple hundred million dollars on up-front design. Once you have that, you submit it to the NRC, which only then decides whether you can move forward and actually run some experiments.

That's a pretty difficult environment for investors. The startup people said if we at least had a staged process, giving them some kind of hint about whether the NRC might approve the project before spending all that money, then they'd have a much easier time getting investment.

Because of all this, reactor startups have been going to other countries. Terrapower is building a demo in China, Thorcon in Indonesia. Terrestrial Energy's in Canada and has good things to say about regulators there. Congress is starting to move towards reforming the system, but it's slow going.

Some of these designs have dramatic safety and proliferation advantages. Some other interesting startups are Transatomic and Moltex.
>It's funny, this is the exact opposite advice I've heard from most business owners.

Because a substantial portion of HN considers all parts of a business, besides the product, a waste of time. Marketing? Finance? Human Resources? That's for the plebs who can't program. Meanwhile, this place consistently features debates conflating balance sheets and income statements, revenues and profits.

Seriously, if you a considering starting or running a business, and don't understand the foundations of book-keeping as laid out in this tutorial, you should feel bad. It's not like you require a two-year diploma; understand the basics.
I know I'm lucky in my work environment, but where I work, the majority of people explicitly don't want to be managers. It's a lot of extra non-engineering work and meetings. Holacracy makes it sound like all employees have to go to the equivalent of what here would be manager-only meetings, which I suppose is great if you don't trust your manager, but is a big negative if you do trust your manager.
"Intellectual property" is not a water-tight abstraction. It definitely leaks around the edges. The next decade or so is all about the edges.

Say you have the following code:

if (foo) {
setSomeState()
}

At least with tools I'm familiar with, your coverage will be 100% if you have one test with 'foo = true'.

That means that you could have odd untested behavior if not executing 'setSomeState()' leaves something important unset.... but you'd have 100% coverage.

Of course in practice, 100% state coverage is really impossible to achieve.

Honestly if you are paying any attention what-so-ever to bitcoin and using /r/btc or /r/bitcoin as your primary or sole source of information then you deserve every bad thing that happens to you.

When two-bit-idiot or whoever it was posted that doom and gloom document regarding MtGox in 2014 you would have had to been completely out of the loop not to have seen it re-linked on twitter or any of a dozen other outlets. My memory of the Gox timeline has grown fuzzy over time, but from what I recall, everybody with half a cluestick knew for at least a few days prior to this release that Gox was circling the drain and god have mercy on anyone with funds left sitting in their wallets. They hadn't been processing fiat withdrawals at all for weeks, at the very best you could withdraw in Yen with a two or three week delay. This should have been everybody's signal that shit was hitting the fan. A few weeks later they started getting spotty about processing BTC withdrawls, and it wasn't until after this that the bankruptcy planning doc got "leaked".
Ask HN: Posting on new releases
Hi!

I posted a news on HN a week ago about a small project of mine getting publicly released for the first time. No business involved. Audience is limited but helps me to improve the application by submitting suggestions or asking questions following a logic I didn't think about before.

It is a good thing for the project so I would like to keep spreading the word.

Would it be considered as spam if I keep posting here about new releases, say a couple of times a month?
I meant more reliable than Arch Linux's format. I haven't really worked with dpkg much, so I can't comment.
I wonder how many other cases there are of people thinking they're virtually certain to die soon, blowing all their long term resources for (rationally) a the short time they have left, and then being "saved", only to then suffer the consequences of the earlier decisions. (Is this a common topic in psychology? Notable works of fiction?) -- sort of related to a pyrrhic victory, but without the causal relationship.
Imagine a function that is something like:

function X(Y, Z){
if(Y){
foo();
}
if(Z){
bar();
}
}

If you have tests like:

X(true, false);
X(false, true);

Then your code coverage from the "line" point of view is 100%. Those two tests execute every line of code. However, the two states:

X(true, true);
X(false, false);

have not been tested, and if foo() and bar() both manipulate some global state, or otherwise have side effects, then the system could still break.

This is an issue with many code coverage tools. The lines themselves have been executed, but not necessarily all program states.

I did not want to engage into another discussion about which technology kills more people. I wanted to point out that nuclear is expensive. Very expensive. And the USA maybe did a good job requiring that money to be paid. And if nuclear doesn't pay out when the real costs are to be paid, then that's it.

Because losing, let's say, a major city to a nuclear disaster, that would be several orders of magnitude more expensive.
I know it's not fair to whoever's desk that is, but I'm tidy/OCD enough that sitting near that disaster would cause me serious anxiety.

One of the common trends in JavaScript is the proliferation of dependencies...there are 25 listed (+ Backbone makes 26). It's a fragile chain that requires a lot of people to provide attention to maintenance of all that supporting infrastructure. And it requires each of them not to be on the wrong side of a "non-negotiable" feature requirement for each developer making a decision to use it and has to be beloved enough that each maintaining developer is willing to fix bugs and update their library for no other reason than to make it appear "fresh."
