"Extended outages, or retirements, among the region’s nuclear power plants would have detrimental effects. At the same time, having stored fuels like LNG and oil at dual-fuel units, combined with imports from Canadian hydro facilities, could help maintain reliability."

We need some kind of disruption in the energy generation market...I mean we're shutting down our nuclear power plants without adequately accounting for the loss in generation capacity...perhaps there will be some innovation in distributed generation, but either way, it'll be interesting to see how things go in this industry.

I think this is good. Kids go into these drills with eyes wide open, and are forced to confront the reality of their own mortality, and how easily their life could just come to a gruesome end even in a safe setting. The sooner one realizes this in life, the sooner one starts to live with intent, and discerns the difference between things that truly matter in life and that which is fleeting and vain.

The GTD is Euro-only, so it's harder to get performance comparisons. But it's still much slower than the GTI, I found a 15.6@93 in the quarter.

0-60 is an awful way to measure acceleration; most of what it measures in modern cars is traction, since a Mk7 GTI will shred the front tires with a hard launch. So high five second and low six second times are both accurate, it just depends how good the launch was.

That's why you compare quarter mile times when looking at acceleration. And the GTI is still so much faster than the GTD; a full second and a half and 7mph trap. Meaning, in a drag race, the GTD wouldn't be close enough to read the GTI's license plate.

>I really dont get why you would need 100k to do the things you need. Perhaps people need to become a bit more frugal?

No one said you need it. They're saying at that income a lot of pain points go away. As others pointed out, much of it has to do with a reduction of stress. A lot of small problems can be solved with money. It doesn't mean that people will solve them with money - but knowing that you can eases the brain quite a bit.

And then of course, there's health care. With good employer paid insurance, the deductible for a couple is about $3300. So if you have any kind of chronic medical condition, you'll pay that much each year at least. If your employer did not pay and you had to purchase it (e.g. you are self-employed), it'll cost perhaps $500/mo for the premium, with a deductible anywhere from $6000 to $10K.

>Perhaps people need to become a bit more frugal?

There is that as well. People here tend to change their smartphone every 2 years, and always buy a brand new expensive one. They'll pay a pretty high fee for cable TV. They'll insist on 50-100 Mb/s Internet, when, in my experience, 15Mb/s was fine for a couple (no degradation in quality for services like Netflix). They'll generally pay $15-30K for new or recently new cars. And many people change cars too often.

Go ahead and tell that to everyone who has been using that phrase to mean what I describe. I seriously searched for a single case of someone using the phrase in the manner you're insisting is correct and came up empty. Instead, I found a large number of resources backing up what I and OP have been stating. Even many professional mathematicians acknowledge the ambiguity but agree that the phrase means to multiply. You may disagree with how the phrase came to be but it clearly has been taken to mean to multiply.

So 4 years is the average lifespan, not the maximum. That's pretty crazy, and even more than I thought it would be (4-5 years max).

And to think that virtually all the other OEMs barely even support their phones beyond a year and a half. Even Google is only supporting its own phones for 3 years, which is still less than the average lifespan of these phones (iPhones may be higher quality, but I doubt the avg lifespan for other flagship devices is much smaller).

I've argued before that there should probably be a law that says an electronic device has to be supported until at least 80% of the units stop being in use.

So,for instance, if 10 million people purchased a Pixel 2, Google should deliver software updates until fewer than 2 million Pixel 2 units are under active use. According to this report, that may very well be 5 or 6 years. Remember phones tend to continue to be used even after the original buyer stops using it, whether it's because they sold it or handed it to someone else.
Youtube publicly stated that they are working with SPLC and ADL on Youtubes Trusted Flagger Program.
I am not implying that this was plan of evil CEOs from the start. But they let it happen. They let political bias seep in and steer public discourse on largest communication channels we have. This recent ridiculously vague "hate speech" rules can be used to prevent posting anything negative about arbitrary topics is we define those things as "protected groups" first. This is not partisan problem. Sooner or later this censorship that is normal now will be used against the left too.

I’m more on the side of saying that Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and the like are large enough that they should be thought of as public space. Having as much social interaction as we do on platforms that can be controlled on the whims of CEOs and business interests isn’t much different than government control of ideas, and I would argue it’s worse because the government is at least elected.
They have transcended beyond a business-customer relationship and have become the largest meeting space in history, and as such they should be free and open just like a public square.

I'd prefer if a password would be generated by default, when you create a new entry. That's the way KeePass works and it encourages to use strong generated passwords (instead of user created passwords).

Another thing I'd like to have is a details view for each key in the list view (https://keepassxc.org/images/screenshots/linux/screen_002.pn...). Something like the bottom panel here: https://keepass.info/screenshots/keepass_2x/main_big.png (but please more beautiful). I have a scenario where I need an additional authentifiction factor besides that password that I store in KeePassXC, too.
> Unless you have native modules and are building on a machine that is different (windows, etc) from your deployment target.

I really don't understand why people do this. If you deploy on Linux, develop on Linux (and if you deploy on Debian, develop on Debian); if you deploy on Windows, develop on Windows (and you have my sympathy). It just makes all of life so much easier.

As a side note, I'd argue very strongly against picking the deployment environment based on the development environment: choose the best deployment environment, and then specify that developers use it to develop. IMHO there's no deployment environment today which is unsuitable for development (with the exception of Windows, ba-dump-ts), and production is what makes the money and keeps the customers happy.
This looks great, building and running it seems straightforward. Helm chart or K8s deployment.yaml template would be handy too :)
February 28th DDoS Incident Report
Well, these are beasts of a different feather. These 416 aren't orbiting around each-other like in a Klemperer Rosette, they're just equally spaced out alone the same orbit around the sun. So it's a lot easier to get higher numbers.

I'm trying to figure out just a single comment on this thread to point out the idiocy of but so far I'm unable to pick any one in particular. Hopefully there will be some rational comments here at some point.

I can't see any justifiable reason for needing to hide crypto assets from the government in a developed country, other than wanting to hide them. If you need to hide your assets, please move to a 3rd world country where the government doesn't spend large amounts of money to stop your neighbor from running into your house with a gun and stealing your possessions
It's cultural, I think. In the US, we are very consumer driven. We are bombarded with propaganda constantly telling us that the one thing missing from our lives is whatever that person is selling. Some of those people are selling credit. That wouldn't be so bad, except that Americans are also highly competitive. We hate losing, and someone else having more stuff than us is losing. Our entire measure of the value of a human being is their wealth.

Consequently, many Americans spend nearly everything they make on stuff that ultimately contributes very little, if anything, to their contentment. Since buying those things didn't actually make them happy, they figure they need more money, and more debt, to buy more things. It's a trap we've created for ourselves.

Oh, and our health care system is ridiculously expensive.
Definitely. However, speaking of myself personally, I was apprehensive of the touch screen when I bought it. I thought it looked cool but was worried about usability. 2 year (and one major UI refresh) later, I have no more concerns.

The drills don't make sense to me. If it's a drill to protect the students against one of their own, that student has also been in the drills and knows that quiet rooms still likely have people in them.

If I remember correctly, the last school shooting had the kid shooting through a door's window into a classroom and killing people who were hiding in the corner. Obviously he knew they were in there already. The drilling he was in would've showed him that.

So what is the point of it? You are giving away any and all secrets to the potential assailant. It's nothing like a fire drill or a "mother nature" type of drill. They should really just stop doing it.

That's the hard part. When I quit my daily coffee habit, I didn't even go cold turkey. I switched to tea. I still had a constant headache and nausea for two days.
That's why I said "or wait". It should have been obvious I meant sit in a spot until you get a ride and not actually pay for a spot or leave the vehicle... You don't need an official parking spot to wait for 15 minutes, as long as you aren't blocking the bus.

Is it possible to reach a point where you won't experience comparison inflation?

After the house it's a bigger house, after the fancy car it's a super fancy car, and then a pilot's license, then co-owning a private plane, then your own one, etc.

When you get enough for the house you move into a new neighborhood where there's always someone richer than you, and when you get enough for that you won't buy his, but a similar one in a fancier neighborhood because you don't want to live with the plebs in the small houses.

This problem can't be solved before we stop measuring ourselves by money. Unfortunately that solution is always paired with being to accomodating on salary negotiations. If I stop caring about money, no one will willingly pay me more, even if I might "deserve it".

I definitely haven't solved it, but my goal is being content with what I have, while not being a doormat, financially. I'm better at the latter than the former.

Yes, pathfinding is different than path following. That is, finding an optimal path is one problem, and having units follow that path in a dynamic world while reacting accordingly is something else entirely.

Microsoft CDAs on the Importance of Soft Skills for Software Developers
Hi, Indie Hacker here who also has some experience with politicized corporate environments. I’d like to encourage you to ignore some of the bad advice in this thread.

Sounds like you were in a gnarly situation and did well to get out. You are what you do, and those types of places can have a long-term corrupting influence on your professional habits and instincts.

The observation that “all companies have politics” is about as useful as the observation that both Venezuela and Denmark have imperfect governments. These statements are correct only in the narrowest sense.

Those pointing out that you never work for “yourself” are also technically correct. If you own a business, you have a responsibility toward your customers. The good news is that it’s possible to find a niche in which you actually like your customers and enjoy doing right by them. Running your own company also gives you the opportunity to optimize for what you think is important, both personally and professionally.

Best of luck.

> As the holder of the root certificate used to sign the TLS certificates Trustico was reselling, Symantec was ultimately responsible for ensuring this requirement was being followed, although in fairness, there was probably no way for Symantec to detect a violation.

This is in some sense the scariest part in the whole mess. Root authorities might have responsibility, but the basic logic of cert resellers makes an error like this easy and undetectable.
Would it be inappropriate to ask for the black banner, in recognition of Mosfet?

Just reading the article, you can tell what a pillar of love he was for everyone at Adafruit. I'm sitting here crying for a cat I never met, because I can feel the love for him bleeding through my screen. He was a hell of a guy, and a hell of a friend to everyone he knew.

If we can give a Britsh navy cat (Simon) a medal in recognition for his service, then I say we can also respect and give tribute to Mosfet as a great developer and hacker, in his own cat way.
This is purely anecdotal, but I've never had a good experience with this service. But I have some friends that are so lazy they don't care if it takes 2 hours for the food to arrive, so that works in their favor.

If this is a way to treat depression, maybe dialing back the crap way we treat each other is preventative. I've been angry for a long time that I have to take medication because most of my life was full of people who seemed to get some sort of perverse pleasure out of making me feel bad for things I cannot control (like being female, nearsighted and unattractive). Somehow it's not possible to simply disagree with someone else and state your contrary opinion, but rather to escalate quickly to aggression and personal attacks. Somehow it's not possible that we can organize ourselves so that a greater number of people can have their physiological needs met, much less feel safe and heaven forbid we should feel love/belonging or have a modicum of self-esteem because how would advertisers ever sell anybody anything? And along comes the internet where anyone is entitled to say anything from a distance and not have to look into the eyes of the human being they're taking a scrap of dignity from.

I've heard this before, but when I've adopted my cats I didn't see a particularly large number of black cats at the shelters. Last time there was maybe 1 of 15, and he was in a brother/sister pair that wanted to be adopted together (otherwise I might have taken him!). Maybe it's a regional thing? Or maybe my experience is unusual.

Similarly unconfirmed reports from twitter that the Black Panther movie has emptied shelters of all of their black cats. I can believe that pretty easily.
