No, reddit made a special rule that their "stickied" posts wouldn't show up on /r/all because the mods would sticky things to "slingshot" them to the front page one at a time. And the users of the sub knew to upvote anything stickied.

They still will show up on /r/all of the post was never stickied.
It's also not "clean" -- just ask the Navajos, for example.

As for my experience, figuring out what to buy and what not, in Munich in the months after Chernobyl. Apples from Tirol were found to contain significantly higher levels of fallout -- one thing that happens to stick in my mind, because I was eating them until I learned this.

And wild mushrooms, particularly from Eastern Europe? Forgetaboutit -- fungii were concentrating fallout up to 400 times (not percent, but 400-fold).

A good friend cooked a meal containing wild mushrooms from her family back in Poland. I felt I had to pass on it.

Granted, coal-based energy spreads heavy metals around, and forests were taking it on the chin from acid rain before scrubbers and switching to coal supplies containing lower levels of sulfur -- primarily, as I recall, in the U.S. being "hard coal" from deposits/mines in western states. Global warming was a concern back then, but it hadn't entered the knowledge of the larger general public.

Everything has trade-offs. That includes nuclear, and we shouldn't be calling it "clean".

Like the heavy metals from coal burning, a significant concern is the very long-term nature of the pollution that does result, and that, with current and immediately foreseeable technology, said pollution is "irreducible".

CO2 warms things, but it doesn't directly poison them nor leave the ground infertile or unusable. Organic toxins can, largely, with enough will and investment literally be burned away -- at least, until you spread them out over the soil. If you have a vat of e.g. dioxin, you can -- carefully -- burn it away. Just make sure you burn ALL of it; one erstwhile proposal for such disposal was to inject the waste into a molten metal mass in a disposal "reactor" with careful monitoring and filtering of the exit gases.

We haven't yet achieved significant alchemaic control. Heavy metals stay heavy metals, and radio-nucleotides keep their own schedules of decay. Once spread around the environment, we are left quarantining that environment -- either wholesale, or where possible by scraping off the contaminated bits/layer and quarantining that.

A more immediate-term solution may be better concentrating and/or filtering mechanisms, for separation of such contamination from the environment it's dispersed through. (As one example, natural or engineered biological concentration and harvesting.)

Maybe nuclear is better than the wholesale smog that kills millions each year, and that used to kill many more in the U.S. but still takes probably hundreds of thousands a year.

But I'm not willing to call it "clean".

And given some of the potential, catastrophic risks, I'm not prepared to call it "better".

P.S. Another, primary concern I have with nuclear, is that no human society has demonstrated continuity and consistent reliability on the kind of timeframes required to manage current nuclear technology and its waste.

Even if a properly handled device is perfectly safe, do we have any guarantees -- or even real, high-likelihood hopes -- that humans will properly handle it (and its waste) until it is effectively retired or neutralized?
How feasible is call setup correlation when there are 10000 calls per minute going through the servers?
Partially because when Mozilla initially said "XUL is going away, what do you guys need?" Everyone just laughed at them and said "No, it's not, you'll never replace it because it is too important in extensions", and then all went away.

Where are the specs for what replaces it supposed to come from? And when they asked for those specs and got little answers, what were they supposed to do? Run around screaming "No we're serious this time, we really are going to drop this, and we really need you guys to work on getting requirements voiced? And also it'd be great if you took us seriously about e10s too!"

One of my favorite extensions is vimperator. There are comments going back over a YEAR that there would be problems with e10s and XUL, and they were always just pushed off and ignored because it wasn't a current situation. I've got two or three other extensions whose github issues section mirrors the same situation. Some of them thought Mozilla would put in a "allow me to run dangerous addons" button and leave the code in play, but if add on developers can do that, then malicious add on developers can too.

I was never "gifted" but I went down this exact route. I did great in high school and then poorly in college even though I feel like I understood all the material.
I feel like the example you provided vs. the person's detached comment is splitting hairs over a stylistic issue. In the detached comment, ErikVandeWater is precisely asking for what he wants. In a community heavily weighted with engineers, I think this behavior should be expected, and not penalized.
And the response to that is to make the work have to be done by the human not the machine (captchas)

But that gets user-hostile, so it's not the best idea.
In which community? Some, yes, others, no. Contractors seem to have a strong bias towards PHP and .NET, but these technologies have more of a stigma in the start-up community. Some countries, like the Netherlands, have a huge quantity of .NET work, others have less.

Also, if you feel like being a .NET developer is any amount of a detriment to your career you can learn other technologies and techniques. You're a developer first, the .NET is incidental.
I didn't mean to shit on them with such a wide log of shit, so to speak.

I love indie games, but I think services like Greenlight have been long since abandoned by anyone who cares and have been overrun by pay-for-vote services, shovelware and pre-packaged asset packs being sold as a completed, original title.

Luckily it's being killed off, after 800 votes on Greenlight I did nothing to stem the tide of crapware flooding the platform. With over 40% of Steam's titles added in the past year alone, there is clearly a problem with lowering the barrier of entry to game development and publishing so far down that games become mix-and-match premade assets, teenager developed memegames, etc. Is it really "starting somewhere" if you're running a legal scam to make a quick buck?

I did mix up the two storefronts, Xbox Live Arcade had some awesome indie titles like Geometry Wars, etc. It was the other one that was basically a dumping ground.

>most of the time it's a student producing something with programmer graphics.

this is fine by me, but don't you think something like that should be shamefully hidden away, part of a portfolio, or better suited as a free browser game? Or even a PWYW title on Itch.io.

Surely they don't need to be on Steam of all places.

Pixel Dungeon was an excellent mobile port of an excellent mobile game, was priced fairly and is right at home on Steam. On the other hand, several mobile titles are overpriced and poorly ported. I don't think that's what Greenlight was intended to do.

Great to see this, thank you Garry for laying bare one of the most common causes of start-up failure.

And make no mistake: almost every start-up will sooner or later face this in one form or another. Simply because goals may be in alignment at the start of a start-up but they rarely if ever remain in alignment over the longer term.

I've counseled/mediated in quite a few companies facing these kind of issues and it is always surprising in some way or another to everybody involved when the root cause of the conflict is finally laid bare.
While the rules on eggs are the same the culture is not. In Austria most stores sell eggs refrigerated where as in the UK they so not.

According to the forums they weren't working on this as late as August 2016.
Another important point is that, as the OP mentions briefly, eggs are porous. Potentially, if there's some horrible bacteria, it could have already seeped into the egg and washing won't help so much. So you want the egg clean anyway.

I'm a swede and I had no idea, I've refrigerated eggs as long as I can remember. My parents are from Croatia though so it's kind of weird that I picked up this habit. My relatives in Croatia do not refrigerate eggs.

Most swedes that I can think of refrigerate their eggs straight from the store. The recommendation is printed on the box to refrigerate.

Now that I've read this article it suddenly makes sense why I've sometimes seen dirt (maybe poo?) and feathers on store bought eggs.
Sorry, this doesn't look attractive to me. Among the downsides I see, the important one is that it requires a whole new software stack. That had been tried many times - I'm afraid, unless you have some really huge corporation backing the project (one that can really push it), it just won't fly.

What's good about TLS is that it's ubiquitous and you don't need anything special to deploy it. Got nginx, Apache or Caddy? Add a single directive (e.g. ssl_verify_client for nginx) and you're almost there, all the validation is already implemented, just tie the keys to your accounts system.

Edit: What, do I look flippant? Here are statistics:

> A United Nations study estimates the final total of premature deaths associated with the disaster will be around 4000, mostly from an estimated 3% increase in cancers which are already common causes of death in the region.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_Daiichi_nuclear_disa...

> Predicted future cancer deaths due to accumulated radiation exposures in the population living near Fukushima have ranged in the academic literature from none to hundreds.

Compare this with:

http://news.mit.edu/2013/study-air-pollution-causes-200000-e...

> Air pollution causes 200,000 early deaths each year in the U.S. (...) Emissions from road transportation are the most significant contributor, causing 53,000 premature deaths, followed closely by power generation, with 52,000.

> Burning coal has the worst health impact of any source of air pollution in China and caused 366,000 premature deaths in 2013, Chinese and American researchers said on Thursday.

In short, (a year of operating coal plants, without accidents) > (worst nuclear disaster mankind has witnessed), by an order of magnitude (or two).

Zealandia: Earth’s Hidden Continent
Something this API gets right is having a unified interface for both IPv4 and IPv6. With the sockets API, you have to decide for one of them. Changing isn't easy as the constants and structures are all named differently.

While it's possible to use IPv6 sockets for IPv4 connections, this doesn't cover all use-cases. For example, you can't do IPv4 broadcast with an IPv6 socket. Additionally, as most examples are written for the classic IPv4 API, that's what everyone uses per default. Later on, when people complain about missing IPv6 support, they are turned down because it's a ton of work to change.

Oh good, it's not just me :D. I don't think I've done it for 10-20 minutes; it doesn't take that long for me to get the effect if I'm trying (and sometimes it'll happen on its own when I just happen to be looking at myself in the mirror), though maybe there's a higher-level effect I'm missing out on because I'm not doing it that long. Perhaps because of doing that occasionally, I can sort of create a similar kind of mild dissociative effect even without the mirror, just by visualizing myself or looking at my body, that sort of thing. Basically, to generalize it, your trying to see/consider your body as if it wasn't yours, not just at an intellectual level but at a more instinctual level.

The mirror definitely helps though. To anyone who wants to try it: try looking yourself in the eyes and tell yourself (and try to believe) that that isn't you. Don't just stand still the whole time; move around a bit, tilt your head, etc. Try to open your mind to it. It's an interesting feeling. :)

No one knows what another person, never mind another animal experiences. It's all a matter of inference, and testing which yields consistent results. Dogs certainly appear to be both very aware of the human emotional state, and to have their own emotional landscape. That said, I wouldn't say that they're "human emotions". They're dogs... they're very different, but different and "less" are not the same thing.

As for your last point, if that's the case, would that be "taking advantage"? At some point, if the behavior is mutual and mutually beneficial, and no one can tell the difference between sincere altruism and some fundamentally selfish motive... does it matter?

Ironically I will say that the view you're considering at the end, when applies to humans is called "cynicism" from the ancient Greek "Kynikos" which meant "Dog-like". This is Cynic, in the philosophical sense, not the pejorative by the way... the belief that people act out of their own self-interest; even charity is done because it makes us feel good.

The counter-argument being, "And?"
What evidence, short of Mozilla going ahead with it and Firefox market share tanking over the course of a few months, would be sufficient to persuade you that this is a bad move?

(I do imagine that there should at least be ample precedent out there for the "management of ~10% market share company decides to sacrifice strong point of its own product to pursue the strong point of the market leader instead" pattern. I can think of several failed examples, but no successful ones - are there any? If not, I believe that should count as evidence that this is a common bias in company judgement.)

There's a fine line between compromising on an idea in order not to clash with the other partner to over arguing and defending your idea.

I think part of the article that's getting glossed over is:

"A refrigerated egg, no matter the source, will be good for four or five weeks. Unrefrigerated eggs are best used within a week, though they may be fine for two."

So, one would want to refrigerate eggs (washed or unwashed) anyway if they're not all going to be used immediately.
