Right, it will cost only a few hundred billion dollars, maybe a trillion, to clean up the effects from the earthquake on the nuclear power plants.

The country lost most of their nuclear power plants in a single day. It takes years, if not decades to bring them back online - partly. 50 plants. Each worth, say, ten billion dollar (current worth and future earnings - just an estimate). That loss alone goes into the hundreds of billions. Additionally fuel had to be imported, other plants had to be built.

'Currently 42 reactors are operable and potentially able to restart, and 24 of these are in the process of restart approvals. The first two restarted in August and October 2015.' Six years after the earthquake/tsunami.

Only a few ten thousand people, maybe a hundred thousand, will work in Fukushima under extreme circumstances to keep the site stable and clean it up the site for the next five decades. Robots die regularly after a short time inside the reactors. Humans get a year worth radioactive exposure in a few hours. Where to get all the people needed to work there?

We have experience to dismantle functioning reactors. Here we have damaged reactors with damaged fuel...

Very little effects... I don't think so. The effects were much more severe than the industry thought. They were thinking that most of the reactors would operate again, by now.

World-wide reactor projects were seeing delays. Companies have a hard time to survive. All these are effects of a single earthquake/tsunami on the nuclear reactor industry. It's a huge financial catastrophe for the nuclear industry and the countries financing it.

Basic Income – Part Five: How UBI Will Disrupt Poverty

Brotli's awesome - it's the next best thing after HTTP/2 to add free speed to your site - but when researching this article (which we used for our own Brotli deployment at CertSimple) I found there's a lot of misleading stuff in many Brotli tutorials:

- 'Brotli is slow' is only true at maximum settings (11). 'Brotli is too slow for dynamic content' is definitely wrong. At setting 4, Brotli is faster AND compresses better than gzip.

- If nginx is not on the same server as your JS bundles - eg, you have an nginx load balancer using proxy_pass to send traffic to your app servers, and your app servers just run node/ruby/elixir/python etc, brotli_static won't help. Use a language-specific module - like Shrink-Ray for node - instead.

- If you do use nginx, 'brotli_types *;' is silly: Brotli is for JS, HTML, SVG, JSON and XML. JPEGs, PNGs, MP4s etc already have format-specific compression that's better than brotli and compressing these types just wastes CPU and might even end up making them bigger.

- If you do use nginx, you don't have to build Brotli from source, For Ubuntu 16.04:

sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:hda-me/nginx-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install brotli nginx nginx-module-brotli

Packages are provided by cryptofuture who's an excellent maintainer.

- Using nginx load balancer for brotli? Disable compression on your app servers - nginx won't recompress something if it's already compressed.

If HN folks can recommend good Ruby/Elixir/Python/Go/Rust Brotli modules I'll add them to the article too.

B2B firing customers works because there is (supposedly) a professional on both ends of the transaction evaluating the offer and monitoring the relationship, and often a contract when a party isn't easily replaceable, and/or could get burned by the other.

That relationship is severely imbalanced in B2C transactions, and abusing that it is why consumer protection laws exist. Given the widespread acknowledgment of the abusable nature of that relationship, the only reasonable expectation to abusing it that doesn't rise to the level of crime or tort is still loud public disapproval.

But there is no person involved directly in the pipeline with an ISP. Every request goes through an automated process.

Governments do and have asked ISPs to update and block against certain websites. Thus, the automated system is expected to behave adequately.

However, as a person becomes involved, they become an active participant in the pipeline.

That is a huge theoretical difference.

A person is not automated, they have common reason, and intellect that goes beyond the rules that can be encoded in a dumb system.

This reasoning is what allows us to hold a person accountable to their actions.

If you visited a ZeroNet site, found it was bad stuff, immediately left and deleted the cache, you might have a case for innocence.

But if you immediately left, but continued to actively share the content... It's a different message.

You could become part of a child pornography ring, for example.

And courts enjoy making examples of distributors of such materials.

Pleading your innocence, becomes difficult at that point.

You've shared illegal content from your own property.

I agree with you that time is the big limiting factor. I think the other trap that people fall into is starting a side project that is too big. If you can't finish it in less than 2 months, odds are that you never will. Focus on something specific enough that it does something after two months. Then do v2.0 or switch to a new project.

I've personally found the "don't spend money" part to be demotivating. I have several projects running and was paying a low cost designer for a small number of hours per week. This is kind of like having a company without long term commitments. It helps to keep me motivated since I need to keep work ready for him each week. Plus, I've made a personal commitment to pay him regardless. I don't want to waste money or his time so the project naturally keeps some momentum. This may not work for everyone but is like a "go to the gym with a buddy" plan that helps me. YMMV

If it were me and I was coming at it from nothing I'd write, in order:

1) Minimal stake-in-the-Internet landing page. ("I'm writing a book on ActiveRecord optimization. I've worked for 3 years on AR optimization. For more details, [ ].")

2) ~3 blog posts about the topic at issue which each mention the forthcoming book and link to your landing page. Promote blog posts in the usual ways: tweet about them, send cold emails to folks whose audiences they are relevant to, post them in your usual community watering holes.

Checkpoint: if the blog posts go nowhere, don't write your book.

3) Write a minimalistic email drip campaign to send to folks who are on your list. Consider cross posting versions of the messages in it to your blog, depending on your appetite for doing this.

4) Write a proper landing page for your book.

5) Write your book.

6) Run a "launch sequence" for your book over 2~3 weeks prior to publishing your book.

7) Launch your book.

8) Get more serious about turning your book into a business via e.g. increasing acquisition, tuning the automated bookseller that is your email list, etc.

I've seen folks be really, really successful at this model on the strength of first books supported by hundreds of email subscribers and 3~5 blog posts. You do not need to be "Internet famous" to pull this off. (Anecdotally, most of my Internet buddies who do the meat-and-potatoes work here get $10k to $20k on the first book launch.)
In the backstory of Stand Alone Complex, they showed she struggled with her body but through practice eventually mastered it. She came to lead the Section 9 team due to the skills she honed.

In the live action movie, she's the best solely because of the unique technology that she's given. She doesn't see herself even as having the ability for self-improvement.

I found the changes to her character to be very depressing.
I'm never one to resist change, but jumping to Bezos buying Walt's land seems a bit premature. Cord cutting may represent a move away from traditional coax cable packages...but actually delivering a non-trivial amount of revenue, subscribers, and staying power in an industry shouldn't be scoffed at.

ESPN is in a pickle, but they remain the Worldwide Leader. Sports as an entertainment business is changing (quite a bit at the other end, where new and old media companies wage increasingly expensive wars over content acquisition as the pro sports leagues recognize they have TV deal leverage), but the company has some technical chops and understands scale and being on-site for events in the old world and new that the Valley (and Seattle) shouldn't assume they'll immediately be able to crack.

tl;dr: Overpaying for Jim Nantz on Thursday night NFL "absolute poopfests" while running around shouting cord cutters overestimates tech's ability to take over traditional entertainment channels.

But you are.

Such a system for a small town doesn’t need native apps, it doesn’t need to look beautiful.

You can use a single PhoneGap app for all OSes, also the same on the web.

You can avoid the entire payment infrastructure, and have riders pay the drivers directly. Alternatively, use Square, and you won’t have to make your own payment system either way.

A lot of uber’s costs only appear at huge scale.

This town doesn’t need uber, it needs a simple ride sharing service like every town in the second or third world has – and those even work without any app.
This doesn't work on corporate networks, or with ISPs who put their users behind a NAT (common for cellular modems). It also doesn't really fix the discovery problem - how does the client running on a different network know what dynamic DNS domain to look up? The easiest method is to use a hosted service to coordinate the two. Then you're back to the same problem.

I'm not aware of a robust solution for IoT device discovery that doesn't use a cloud based system of some sort. All the alternatives are fiddly or vulnerable to weird router/ISP configurations. Not ideal when you want your product to be seamless.

HTML wasn't an application of SGML: its syntax was clearly influenced by SGML, but it wasn't actually SGML. It didn't become an SGML application until a few people convinced the working group to make it so for HTML 2.0 (there was no HTML 1.0 standard: the earlier drafts I'm aware of defined how to construct an SGML document from an HTML one and explicitly stated it was not expected an SGML parser would be used, which I'd take to imply that HTML was not an SGML application).

ST does go deeper than that. More broadly, the rest of Heinlein ranges so widely across the mainstream political spectrum that it would be easy to pick 20% of it to paint a picture of Heinlein as far-right, far-left, libertarian, or apolitical. It used to be widely held that this was a chronological shift in his attitudes from the 1930s to 1980s, but that seems not to be the case, now: he just chose which of his non-mainstream views to showcase in any given work.

> Not sure why certain members of the Rust community aren't happy with just having a neat language.

Saying this isn't going to do my karma any good, but it's almost certainly because they're feeling competitive pressure from the even more numerous Go developers doing the exact same thing with their language. A lot of people feel like it's time to move on from C and C++, especially to something with better memory-safety properties. (This is for low-level infrastructure code, mostly. Other kinds of code have been better written in higher-level languages for a long time.) Rust developers/advocates feel that it has the best current answer to that need. They might even be right. Then they see the total deluge of Go propaganda, encouraging people to adopt what they feel is a less-good approach. They know that "just having a neat language" won't be enough to overcome that. Therefore, out of a completely laudable desire to help others avoid a mistake, they ratchet up their own rhetoric to match. Some get a bit carried away.

If the goal is to discourage overly ardent advocacy for Rust, we also need to discourage the same for other languages as well - not just Go but also Swift, Erlang/Elixir, *ML, and so on. The pattern of people becoming tiresome about their choice of programming language (or paradigm) has existed for a long time.
The important thing is that, no matter what solution you go for, all build dependencies should always be pulled directly from a central server that you control. If your build process involves grabbing arbitrary stuff directly from a github account not directly under your control you will, sooner or later, end up in trouble.
if you substitute torrents with ipfs this is trivial:

# create empty folder
FOLDER=`ipfs object new unixfs-dir`
# add folders to object
FOLDER=`ipfs object patch "$FOLDER" add-link 2017-01 "$HASH_2017_01"`
FOLDER=`ipfs object patch "$FOLDER" add-link 2017-02 "$HASH_2017_02"`
FOLDER=`ipfs object patch "$FOLDER" add-link 2017-03 "$HASH_2017_03"`
# print final hash
echo $FOLDER

This would result in a hash that has the folders for January, February and March, which can have arbitrary nested folders and files in them.
