And yet, I can't wait to hear ostensibly intelligent people continue to whine about "political correctness" and how it's ruining everything.
> how can you bring something back that doesn't exist

Quite simply, you take away labor protections. Automation does not eliminate jobs, it competes for them. If people are cheaper, businesses will opt for people, even in the presence of automation. Robots won't work for free; people have proven time and time again that they will.

There is some evidence[1] that Trump supports this method, at least to the point that he can push the blame onto lower levels of government if jobs don't materialize.

Another thing which fascinates me about these events is that as fragile as humans and even civilisations may be, stories and legends live on.

Santorini is thought to be the origins of the myths of a lost city that disappeared under the waves, as well as the biblical flood legend, and potentially also the parting of the Red Sea.

They're not contemporaneous in the bible, of course, but you do have to bear in mind that the Old Testament was cobbled together from the myths and legends of various peoples with various "long time agos", which got slotted into a chronology.

> untreatable waste. Sure, we don't breathe it like fossil fuel byproducts, but it's still there, ruining the planet.

It's not ruining the planet when it's sitting safely in storage. Not to mention, there's very, very little of it. Every other industry is dealing with much bigger amounts of dangerous waste; if you want to worry about something, worry about chemical plants, electronics recycling and plastic bottles.
The main difference is the verification/design method. seL4 does the abstract machine in Haskell, model in HOL, and final code in C. Both Haskell and C are shown equivalent. It took a ton of work. They also have to use these two tools for expressing all kinds of solutions they're not ideal for.

CertiKOS is using a DSL approach if it's same as paper I'm remembering. They design languages or proving techniques ideal to the type of thing they're working on: memory management, I/O, etc. They prove each individual component as easily as they can. Then they have some way of modeling the system as a whole and/or integrating those. Too early to judge but they seem more productive than L4 project was due to tooling benefits.

> ... go back to MAD with a credible deterrent and credible defence. Whether it is technically feasible or not is one thing...

It isn't credible if it isn't technically feasible, it is just a waste of money and it looks foolish. While I can understand how Russia would be upset about NATO neutering its nuclear arsenal with anti ballistic missile systems, I have a hard time believing that intelligent people actually think NATO wants to invade Russia. It is just frustration over a censor bar being placed over the dick waving.
If that were true, where did all the waste that we are currently burying/storing come from?
> Plus, while nuclear can be done safely, it often isn't, and when it fails, it fails catastrophically.

And thus is the problem with the court of public opinion on this. Nuclear is the safest per Kw/h, period. But yes, there are accidents and they are plastered over the news for weeks. Whereas coal mining disasters? Well it's just coal mining, not related to the coal power plant that coal was all headed too.

It parses DSV data like Awk does, runs SQL queries against it and formats the output in one of several ways. An example I am particularly fond of is using this tool as a poor man's libxo (https://github.com/Juniper/libxo):

$ ps | sqawk -output json,indent=1 'select PID,TTY,TIME,CMD from a' trim=left header=1
[{
"PID" : "3947",
"TTY" : "pts/2",
"TIME" : "00:00:07",
"CMD" : "zsh"
},{
"PID" : "15951",
"TTY" : "pts/2",
"TIME" : "00:00:00",
"CMD" : "ps"
},{
"PID" : "15952",
"TTY" : "pts/2",
"TIME" : "00:00:00",

You can and you should. You need to work the numbers, and the numbers will tell you that indeed chemical plants are a problem and financial industry is a problem. But nuclear energy? Not really.

I live in London. In the UK we have a statutory minimum wage (like the federal min wage - we are having almost the same debate in the UK) and a voluntary 'living wage' that is higher than the minimum wage and set to a minimum level that you can raise a family on with some degree of comfort. Its meant to be a signal for UK businesses about what kind of wage is a 'good wage' for low skilled work that treats their employees and their employees' labour with dignity.

The living wage in London is £9.75 and everywhere else its £8.45. Nobody says the living wage council thinks that people outside of London are second class citizens. People think that the living wage council is wise to recognise that living costs are much higher in cities like London, and areas outside of London have a business cost advantage for locating operations outside of London because people living in smaller towns have lower living costs and hence can enjoy the same living standard on less income.

Don't be a jerk by taking the least charitable interpretation of a policy when you know full well that it's bollocks.

Stay because there is are potential upsides to staying and because those potential upsides are attractive relative to your alternatives. If there's an attractive potential upside to staying through a Series A, then stay because there is an attractive potential upside. That's not staying to 'help'. That might be an increase in value of your equity. But it's probably not going to entail much that isn't already in writing...so to speak.

To me, I doubt you can fix the situation. The founders have to desire to change the culture and make doing so a priority. If people walking out en masse doesn't inspire such change, then it ain't likely to change.

These other nuclear sources (non-commercial plants) are an absolute apples-to-oranges comparison.

Those are non-commercial implementations are absolutely NOT profitable.

When we're talking about whether it can be done safely, what we're really talking about is whether it can be done safely AND in a free-enterprise for-profit model.

The answer is very obvioulsy: No, it can not. Especially when you have to factor-in external costs like: "oops, my plant exploded, and now I have just exposed 15 million people to non-trivial doses of dozens of radionucleides which will now impact their health for decades, plus. . . there's the 150,000 or so who can no longer live in their homes, or farm the land their families have farmed for generations, because we wanted to give the shareholders an extra .05% dividend last quarter when we decided to defer maintenance.

It seems more likely that the opposite is true:

You mean except in Summer when the rivers are too hot to use their water as a coolant or in Winter when it's getting to cold and France needs to import electricity: http://www.renewablesinternational.net/german-power-exports-...

> Also recall that wind and solar are collecting a very non-dense (but free) energy so they need lots of material and land footprint.

Still lifecycle CO2 emissions are very similar. Building nuclear power stations and mining is also extremely resource-intensive.

You cannot really compare cloud providers to classic bare metal providers like Hetzner.

FWIW we're in the middle of going 100 % AWS after having used a dual setup with Hetzner for base load and AWS for dynamic load. Using spot instances for base load and autoscaling groups for dynamic load proved to be competitive in machine cost with Hetzner.

Plus there's a lot less management overhead with AWS on our scale (50+ machines). And the security of VPC and IAM cannot be replicated on Hetzner. Plus as always, it's the integration of all AWS services that's hard to beat. And we really need to be multi-region anyways (5 regions and counting).
> the bigger picture is what those clowns in NATO are doing and how that the world situation is pretty bad re: aggression towards Russia

If the Russian government feels threatened by an ABM system that can shoot down maybe 10-20 missiles and isn't any more sophisticated than the S-400/500, then either their ballistic missile count is much lower than their claim, or NATO aren't the ones being clowns.

If you can't install linux on some reasonably generic pc hardware in this day and age, and you consider yourself a hacker or coder, you probably ought to be a little embarrassed. Certainly not proud as some seem to be.

It depends on whether you want randomness to be a mathematical or a physical concept. If you want randomness to be a physical concept, then it depends on interpretations of quantum mechanics and physics in general. If you let it be a mathematical concept independent from the physical universe, then it includes the physical version, and so, so much more. It doesn't mean that randomness is entirely contextual, but that it can be applied to those events too. It's a more general definition.

> You know how modern ones skim along terrain? Terrain maps.

Terrain maps require active radar. Active radar increases your detectability.

> If you are using terrain maps to navigate, then you don't need GPS - so this system has no hopes of working against low altitude cruise missiles.

Some currently deployed US Navy Cruise Missiles already utilise GPS. Including the Block III TLAM[0].

They support INS (inaccurate), TERCOM (which has a radar signature), and DSMAC (which relies on TERCOM or GPS, and only increases final target accuracy).

You'd definitely use GPS if you could use GPS, it is the most reliable and quietest system. This system proposes to neuter your ability to use GPS in Russian territory.
