That is hard (there was an article on HN about exactly this a while ago). You need a large amount of energy to cancel out our orbit or you just end up sending it into its own solar orbit (which will intersect with ours, to boot).
> Of course nuclear energy has one of the highest Wh outputs, no-one is disputing that. However, what does that have to do with the risk of use? That seems like a measure very skewed to make arguments in favour of nuclear power.

Erm, wtf? The world's energy requirements are a more-or-less fixed number of tWh, no? Like, if 1 nuclear reactor produces as much energy as 10000 wind turbines, comparing the deaths that would be caused by 1 reactor to the deaths that would be caused by 10000 turbines seems like the obviously correct comparison to make.
I would say pair programming with others and reading code as a group together is the best way to level up. While reading open source projects will fill in some knowledge gaps and teach you to write cleaner code. You may miss the subtle aspects that makes the code one step better then others. When I pair program with seniors I get to see how they come at a problem, make design decisions, and find out why they do something some way. Pairing with a less senior developer causes you to reflect on yourself. If you can't explain something to someone else in simple terms then you might need to revisit that idea. Also a good way to remind yourself how much you have grown as a developer, and how much farther you still need to go. Pair programming in a group is a great for a team to understand how each other thinks. It also confirms styling techniques for the code base and also allows people to fill in random knowledge gaps they may not know they have. Finally it has been proven over and over again the more a team communicates with one another the better they work as a team even though our codes and docs suppose to be the best way to convey our thoughts to other programmers. Spending some time every day talking and working together is the fastest path to bring entry level and junior level developers to a senior level.

Or potentially worse, if they're compromised/hacked in some way and that data simply enters the wild ecosystem.
I believe it us due to the installation deaths. Typically solar cells are installed on rooftops, which are non-trivially dangerous places to work. Multiply the risk by tens of thousands of installations and we get fatalities due to solar power.
Logical arguments do not apply in that scenario. Other energy forms might kill people a slow, invisible death. But when a nuclear reactor melts down the pictures of death and drama will go around the world.
LinkedIn has two main functions:

You can enable and disable drivers and startup functionality in safe mode. You can't install or uninstall any apps or drivers that utilize Windows Installer as the service isn't running, rendering the install/uninstall/modify abilities of those apps and drivers useless. You can still install and uninstall apps and drivers that use proper installers like NSIS, etc.
Betamax was not better than VHS or, at least, it wasn't that simple even from a technical perspective:

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2003/jan/25/comment.c...

> Later I found out that Betamax had owned the market, but lost it because Sony got one simple decision wrong. It chose to make smaller, neater tapes that lasted for an hour, whereas the VHS manufacturers used basically the same technology with a bulkier tape that lasted two hours. Instead of poring over the sound and picture quality, reviewers could simply have taken the systems home. Their spouses/children/grandparents and everybody else would quickly have told them the truth. "We're going out tonight and I want to record a movie. That Betamax tape is useless: it isn't long enough. Get rid of it."

> Betamax was the first successful consumer video format, and at one time it had close to 100% of the market. All of the video machines in use and all of the pre-recorded movies were Betamax. It had a de facto monopoly, and an element of lock-in (because of tape incompatibilities). It lost because, at the time, it could not do what consumers wanted: record a whole movie unattended. And although Betamax playing times were extended, they never caught up with VHS.

> Other elements of the oft-repeated Betamax story are also wrong. For example, while Sony was certainly slow to bring in other manufacturers, it had tried to license it to rivals such as JVC before VHS was even launched. Betamax was not generally more expensive: Sony had to slash its original high prices but generally it was competitive. Indeed, after it had lost the market, Betamax machines were often cheaper than VHS ones.

> And at the beginning, there was no comparative shortage of Betamax movies to rent: actually, they were all Betamax. (Stan Liebowitz, Professor and Associate Dean of the School of Management, University of Texas at Dallas, has done most research on this, but see urbanlegends.com for a quick guide.)

And, the most surprising thing:

> Indeed, the main thing that didn't fit was the idea was that Betamax was "technically superior". Standing in a shop at the time, there was absolutely no visible difference in picture quality, and some reviews had found that VHS's quality was superior.
Not a lot of fun if the transport rocket fails.
It is a wonderful resource, but doesn't solve all trouble. It specifically says that the only modern DE that supports hidpi scaling well is KDE. Gnome hidpi support is crap (no fractional scaling), Unity is going away. Sway and the rest are of course cool, but most people use some kind of GUI toolkit like GTK that either supports hidpi or not (mostly not well).
You shouldn't need to be told that, as a HackerNews reader, you aren't representative of the population. Consider how many people still don't even understand how to use credit cards properly, and then ask yourself how many of them will be willing to jump through the mental hoops necessary to understand Bitcoin at even the most basic levels when alternatives like Apple Pay, Paypal, Google Wallet, and Venmo make exchanging money simple and easy. Bitcoin solves a problem that 99% of people don't have.

Honestly I had the same reaction initially. But now I think this is just an echo-chamber effect. After reading the HN article, I received at least two of my regular js-related newsletters in my email inbox that mentioned this book. I suspect that's what caused it to be submitted again (and I vaguely recall it popping up in a thread somewhere).

But I do understand that it might feel like a campaign.

Did you use an HDMI cable or USB-C to HDMI adapter? Since the spec says the HDMI port is 1.4 only, I'd like to know if using a USB-C to HDMI 2.0 adapter will give you more bandwidth, allowing you to do 4k at 60hz with 4:4:4 chroma support.
I disagree (obviously). There are huge advantages to using the data stores from your cloud provider, but you can pick Postgres or similar options that avoid lock-in. If you use DynamoDB or Spanner, you can work to avoid non-portable features. Many other services like SNS can be replicated with software like NATS.

That said, switching from one cloud to another will never be trivial, so it may be worth using some proprietary services up front if it gets you to market faster. The key thing is to have your eyes open about the choices you make, to ensure you have the ability to switch (or, perhaps more importantly, threaten to switch) in the future if you need to.
Not necessarily. Ocean disposal of nuclear waste used to be an option, but was banned in 1993. Studies of disposal sites in use before then seem to indicate that any problems found were very local[0].

I live in Idaho, and something that comes up fairly regularly is whether to accept more nuclear waste shipments to be stored at the https://www.inl.gov indefinitely.

To me, nuclear power is not good or bad (it just is), but I have a very low level of confidence that humans can manage it over the long term. Power companies don't seem to be willing to spend the money needed to encapsulate waste for thousands of years. That would basically mean revisiting all the waste that is currently stored and freeze it in glass or whatever. If the industry did that for all existing waste and proved their expertise in that area, then I think more people would entertain the notion of more reactors.
They are within their right to require authorization to their content, yes, but they don't do that. They make it public and allow some companies to scrape that content and resell it for profit (like Google), but while restricting other companies from doing the same.

If they don't want their data to be public, then they shouldn't make it public. They could require authorization to view any content on the site and solve this problem instantly.

It does not. If you have e.g. QHD on a 13" laptop, then it's cool because 2x scaling works. On my 32" 4K display, it's bad because I'd need 125% or 150% scaling, not 100% or 200%.
Breeder reactors have been around since the dawn of nuclear energy and are extremely efficient, re-using the bulk of harmful waste material as fuel. If we built more of those waste would be far less of a problem.

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

Hell Thorium-based reactors could theoretically generate the same energy while being much safer and producing orders of magnitude less waste. But as of yet support for actually building one has been tepid at best.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorium-based_nuclear_power

The issue is nuclear energy is so risky that only nation-states are willing to underwrite the creation of plants. As a result regulations on plant design tend to be extremely conservative, so innovation is brought to a crawl. On top of that the origins of nuclear energy is weapons research, the waste was the original objective. So the most proven model of reactor is the one that produces the most waste. Put the two together and we're left with the simplest, least efficient design: light-water reactors.

Nuclear can be viable, but the government will have to grow some balls and take some extra risk. We could really use another Musk or Bezos to take on Nuclear Power the same way the former two are taking on space.
Based on that Wikipedia article, she was not on IBM's board, but that of a non-profit named United Way which also included IBM's chairman on its executive committee.
But not two orders of magnitude too expensive for a high end machine shop with a small warehouse. You can see this as something that you may dream about as a 'maker', but more importantly this could be something that allows small companies to make parts locally rather than overseas.

This article focuses on 100% remote teams, but I'd also love tips on working on partially remote teams. Here's some things that have helped my team and others are my company, which is spread across a few timezones:

- If anyone is remote for scrum, everyone is remote. Having one group of people in a room together with a few people video conferencing in is terrible for the remote folks. Instead, have everyone call in from their computers. It helps keep people from excluding those who are behind the screen.

- Get an occasional virtual coffee/tea with your workmates. Getting to know each other as people makes small conflicts and friction far less likely to turn into grudges.

- Pay attention to timezones. Even if the main office has more people, share the pain of bad timing across the team. Don't make the same person stay up late or get up early every scrum.

- The little things really matter during video calls. Don't eat near the microphone, circle back around to people who may have been interrupted, make sure everyone can hear clearly.

- Make an extra effort to get feedback and input from people. Especially for less outgoing or assertive folks, it's harder to break in to conversation on Slack or calls than in face to face interactions. Asking "[name], what are your thoughts?" a few times a call goes a long way.
in my opinion, the problem with nuclear is the consequences of fuck-ups. if you fuck up with solar, wind, coal or oil, shit can get wrong. like oil spill in Mexico coast wrong, but manageable.

Chernobyl and Fukushima's fuck-up is still to this day not completely resolved.

Let's focus in solar/wind for our peace's sake

But that's just users viewing content there, not interacting with the site at all. I'm sure imageshack had those numbers, easily. Until something better (read not monetized) came along to replace it for a while.
I'm pretty sure hydroelectric would actually win statistics 1, 3, and 4 "hands down". It'd also be a serious contender for 2 and 6.

This is of course excluding coal, which I'm 92% sure makes even hydroelectric (let alone nuclear) look like a peaceful meadow full of fairies and butterflies by comparison.
One thing to look at is, how much waste is actually produced? When I was reading about this IIRC all of the nuclear waste we have produced in the US over the life of our nuclear programs could be stored in an area the size of a football field.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

And Go has an entire book on how to use the database/sql package. Does that mean the database/sql package is hard? Is React difficult because there is online courses? Is Bootstrap? Of course not.
2 Is a valid point. For 1, it would be a global win as we reduced costs IMHO.
That doesn't explain why, because there's no implicit conversion to int when adding things, eg:

>>> int(s)
12
>>> s + s
'1212'

The Bose QC series come with a very good "over the ear" variants that don't rest directly on the ear, but instead around it. That comfort issue was bigger to me, personally, than any noise cancelling options. I actually opted against a noise cancelling model because I found the over-the-ear configuration alone cuts down enough noise that I'm happy, and the cost and weight savings was a useful bonus.

I spent hours in a Best Buy trying to find headphones I would be comfortable wearing for hours and the over-the-ear Bose models won out by far as the most comfortable I could find.
You have to be very careful about these studies, because most official government studies flat out lie about the effects of nuclear disasters.

The most egregious example is Chernobyl, where the official Soviet position was that only a single person died from the disaster. But studies from other nations say the death toll may be close to one million. Well believe it or not a lot of these studies that show how safe nuclear is actually take the official Soviet data about chernobyl as truth. (I am not sure whether this is the case for this particular study because their source is behind a paywall).

But similar (if not as outrageous) lies have also been said about accidents in the west. The official story about three mile island for example is that it caused no deaths, yet studies find drastic increases of all kinds of cancers in the affected area. See, for example, https://www.counterpunch.org/2015/03/27/cancer-and-infant-mo...

I usually believe that we should be guided by science and data in our public decisions, but the data surrounding nuclear is so distorted by governments that it is just not to be trusted. And now that we have truly safe alternatives like solar and wind, we can finally put that nightmare behind us.
Can we hope to understand how the Greeks saw their world?
There is a legal concept known as "attractive nuisance"[1]. If I have a pool and neighborhood kids come to play and someone gets hurt, it's my fault. Even if I was away from my house and never gave permission (or explicitly forbade them from swimming), if I don't have proper access controls in place, the courts say it is too tempting for the neighbors to just come over and swim. I need to put up a locking gate to keep them out.

Likewise in some high-crime jurisdictions, if you did not lock your car you are liable for it getting stolen or broken into[2]. An unlocked car is too tempting for some people to just walk past and not take it.

I know it might sound crazy but you could make the argument that a massive pool of highly-structured and very valuable data just sitting out in the open is an attractive nuisance and steps should be taken to put it behind a locked gate. Once that requirement has been satisfied, normal trespassing laws apply.

I'll throw in Brian Lonsdorf's "Professor Frisby's Mostly Adequate Guide to Functional Programming"

https://drboolean.gitbooks.io/mostly-adequate-guide/content/

And the related video series on Egghead (which I think requires a subscription)

https://egghead.io/courses/professor-frisby-introduces-compo...

Which reminds me, if you can get an employer to pay for an Egghead subscription and/or a Frontend Masters subscription as part of a training budget, both are great. Also probably worth buying on your own if work won't cover it.
I think a lot of people here are pessimistic about Giphy just because they took on huge VC funding, but if Giphy can maintain and grow its user base and be able to monetize and earn a profit of .5 dollars per user per yr, then it would have earned 100M in profit. I know it will be hard but thats entrepreneurship, its never easy
Bonderman was fired for that. What more is there to say?
I hate how prevalent Killer NIC chips have become. They seem to be racing to the bottom with cheap wireless and ethernet PHYs with crappy drivers, yet their reputation hasn't quite caught up. Their marketing brands them as premium and a lot of manufacturers still buy into it to target the "gaming" segment (which also hates them).

I refuse to buy any board which has these chips and will pay a small premium for an Intel or Realtek instead.
On the other hand, IIRC nuclear has a reverse bell curve, where it's most dangerous at the very start and end of its' lifetime. And if you take nuclear plants that are not quite at the end of their lifetime, then average the deaths over their last 40 years, and compare that average to solar (the majority of which are 3 years old or less - at the start of their lifetime), then you can make nuclear appear an order of magnitude safer than they actually are.

People don't handle statistics well, but statistics are also easily manipulated and therefore potentially completely unreliable (Mark Twain quote here). It's not quite as simple as "people need to listen to the statistics".

Also, people go to the beach way less often than they go near roads. If most people only go to the beach 1 day a year and go on roads every day, then it's more like "you're 50x more likely to die by car than by shark". That's a far cry from 17000x.

That said, I've always thought that stat could be abused to push car safety - "Imagine you're attacked by a shark - now, cars are like that but TIMES FIFTY! Drive safe, look both ways, etc".
This is the year 2017 - This article deliberately skips over any consideration to Wind, Solar, etc. What kind of BULLSHIT excuse for journalism and scientific study is this? Who in the nuclear industry paid for this?

I only read the first 3 paragraphs but I can already tell you this article is not worth your time.

The article compares the statistics of energy sources, but all of the charts focus on fossil fuels. This article starts off giving lip service by offhand mentioning renewable sources in one sentence.

"While the negative health impacts of modern renewable energy technologies are so far thought to be small, they have been less fully explored."

Maybe in the short term nuclear does kill fewer people, in the short term compared to recent history. If nuclear plants are maintained safely - thats a pretty big if - and no other disasters befall a plant, maybe there current status is true.

One of the many things I have learned while working in technology is Risk Assessments. If an upgrade or change has a low chance of failure but a high potential for damage then you need to be very careful and cautious. Nuclear Power strikes me as having a small chance of risk of failure but the potential damage of that failure is catastrophic.

There are only 3 nuclear power mishaps I know of - 3 Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima. I guess 3 Mile wasn't too bad, but the other 2 had epic consequences. That's not even considering the waste issue. Or a dirty bomb.
