Australian newspapers are actually getting a bit creative in relation to this case due to the profile of the person.

On the day of the conviction, they released online articles about "suppression orders".

# Why the media is unable to report on a case that has generated huge interest online #

> A very high-profile figure was convicted on Tuesday of a serious crime, but we are unable to report their identity due to a suppression order.

> The person, whose case has attracted significant media attention, was convicted on the second attempt, after the jury in an earlier trial was unable to reach a verdict. They will be remanded when they return to court in February for sentencing.

The article then goes on about suppression orders and how Google Trends for the person's name increased on the day of the trial.

So anyone who is internet-savvy would be able to figure out who it was.

It's three or four times as abundant as uranium, and about 400 times more abundant than U235. However, with fast reactors you can get power from all the uranium, not just the U235.

Uranium is currently a small portion of the cost of nuclear, so it can't be that hard to mine, especially after we only need 1% as much for the same amount of power.

Either keeps us going for thousands of years, and after that we could extract uranium from seawater until the sun goes out.
If you take the amount of money they’re asking for, take the value of inventing fusion power (which is enormous), and then apply a very conservative and pessimistic low probability of success, I’m not sure there’s much that has a higher expected value than investing in fusion power.
This is a story that probably works better with its original title ("Exploiting LaTeX with CVE-2018-17407") than with the editorialized one, since the editorialized title makes it sound like the vulnerability is what's good about this story, when in fact it's the writeup about the exploit --- the vulnerability itself is maybe not that urgent for most users.

> I think the aggressive trade stance and hard line politics by China might have played a major role.

It's a nice distraction to attack China when the source of such things, in this tale, is a U.S. that has taken those stances to extremes unimagined before Trump took office. The U.S. fetishizes "hard line" and "aggressive", and has underminedh norms stretching back generations and has destroyed the U.S.'s reputation on trade and international relations. And all those consequences are intentional, a nationalist goal.

> China wanting to get away with pretty blatant violations of fair trade

I don't know that they have done more than other countries similarly situated, beyond allegations by the current U.S. administration as a justification for nationalist policies. Some things on this list of allegations are insubstantial, and we could make a similar lists for other countries. Is there any independent basis that China is worse than other developing countries or than other economic powers (they are both)?

> they’ve taken their “build junk make bank” mentality to the world and it can’t last much longer

This is just an empty stereotype unless you can back it up. Many high quality goods are made in China, including some that you may be using. There is nothing wrong with making cheaper, low-quality goods either.

One might say that U.S. financial industry is the leading proponent of "build junk make bank", with by far the most serious consequences.

> Every economy has a plateau then a fall, then a pull back up again

That's not actually how economics works at all. In the real world, perhaps outside the wealthy country you live in that has had good economic management (though the U.S. and others seem to be losing their way), countries do fall and never recover.

If I was working at Atlassian in the Australian office, I would be very worried about Atlassian pulling out of Australia. A lot of companies use Bitbucket. Atlassian could be compelled to sneak backdoors into other conpanies’ code. There would be issues around incorrect hashes, but most devs would put it down to a mistake on their part and just re-clone the repo. Some backdoors will go indetected and some won’t.

If you’re using Bitbucket, consider migrating to your own Gitlab instance, hosted in a country whose government values privacy.
True, but SQLite still is one damn well-crafted codebase, that has been explored by thousands of pairs of eyes over time. And that's the point.
> Since it returns the pointer to the next operation and uses longjmp to stop the program, which means I can get away without lookups and without a loop condition.

That threaded approach would be even faster using computed gotos. The loop conditional is a huge performance killer. Removing it claws back cycles from using function pointers, but it would benefit the computed goto approach at least much.

Personally I find using function pointers make for difficult to read code. Dispatching opcodes with a compact switch statement (or equivalent computed goto construction) makes it easier for me to see the meat of the engine and how it works. If the logic for an opcode is complex it can be easily pushed into a static function (which may or not be inlined, but at such a juncture readability is the primary concern). But for simple operations I prefer it inline, textually, so it's easier to see all the moving parts at once.
If what you're observing is that industry lingo is suboptimal, you'll get no argument from me. Consider for instance "XSS" and "CSRF", which are just manifestly silly names. But the names mean what they mean; try as I might, I can't get people to accept "Javascript injection".
Ember 3.6 Released
Our system deliberately renews/adjusts prices per gallon and service contracts to pretty much whatever price the company feels like extorting. I've seen customers charged $4000 instead of $2000 countless times. Some even pay it.

While I’m the last person to trust big business, it’s hard for me to believe that whoever is over the developers who create the billing system would put that in a spec - to deliberately overcharge people.

I’m more inclined to believe incompetence and deprioritizing known bugs to create new features.

How does intentionally writing buggy software even get communicated to the front line developers?

The reason it seems harder to get up on heel rather than toe edge is the center of gravity tends to stay over the board when using toe edge.

The reason why most beginners have trouble is their calves are weak (you may think they are strong, they are not)

The most serious problem for most beginners is not knowing how to fall down properly. Roll on your shoulders or belly flop. Do not jam arms out front or behind you. Your wrists will thank me.

The reason why beginners fall down a lot is a combination of two factors: 1) they go to slow making it harder to turn and 2) they fail to look where they want to go. Looking down at the snow, at trees or at other people usually results in some type of wreck.

Indeed. But the skills mismatch is one of the things I am proposing to address. People can be retrained, at least if they're on the younger side. Trying to retrain a 55 year old factory worker whose employer moved the plant to Mexico or China probably wouldn't work too well. It might be better to let him retire early.

Again gravity is what maintains the reaction going, without it the gas would expand and the reaction would stop.

I understand how fusion works, what you neglect is that gravity is what allows you to counter the nuclear forces to cause protons to fuse in the first place, and what keeps the entire thing from blowing out.

Hence stars are in constant balance between gravitational collapse and their outward pressure caused by fusion.

“An interstellar cloud of gas will remain in hydrostatic equilibrium as long as the kinetic energy of the gas pressure is in balance with the potential energy of the internal gravitational force. Mathematically this is expressed using the virial theorem, which states that, to maintain equilibrium, the gravitational potential energy must equal twice the internal thermal energy.”

On earth we exchange gravitational potential with electromagnetism but we still need to apply the same force to counter the nuclear forces and the pressure from the reaction once it starts.

All I want to know is if we have a proven net positive model for this reaction because so far I haven’t been able to find one.

Because as far as I know the vital theroem stands so it doesn’t matter if it’s gravitational potential or any other force it still needs to be twice the thermal energy of the reaction.

But you can continue to downvote without actually addressing anything while ingoring everything we know about stellar fusion and the fact that is triggered and constantly maintained by gravitational collapse.

So no I don’t ignore the role of gunpowder in a gun, you ignore the energy needed to create the gunpowder and cartridge in the first place.

That's the best I can do for you. Good luck!
It's a common experience to go to a 7/11 in Bangkok and try to buy one of the cheaper top-up packages, and then get told they're not available. Only the expensive ones are available. Yet strangely the cheap ones are available for locals.

Also, people don't seem to have any objections to mobile towers being built near them. In the UK & Australia there's a lot of NIMBYism and fear about mobile towers being built near schools (especially). It can get really expensive to build a tower in a rich suburb.

Any sort of memory corruption is usually considered to be “potential arbitrary code execution” unless proven otherwise, even if the bug finder hasn’t written up a PoC for it. Even the most unlikely corruptions have been shown to be exploitable given enough effort, so usually they’re just lumped in the “we should fix this” bin.

Those articles don't have numbers on how much energy they store. So far I haven't seen any that could get through a windless night. Recently I ran the numbers on Tesla's big battery project, and for that much storage it cost significantly more than nuclear.

Costs are going down, but MSRs look a lot cheaper than conventional nuclear too, so if we're going to look to the future let's do it with both.
Are they giving a stake to the government, or to the government officials? Because the latter is just plain corruption, and to be honest isn't very surprising anywhere.

The answers are very complex. In the book, Graeber shows that debt is as much a cultural/social norm as any other abstract, social construct we've invented throughout history. What debt meant in early Buddhist Nepal or Sumeria or aboriginal Australia, and what it means in modern western economies is completely tied in with governmental/religious/familial etc. structures that existed in the given time. He goes into great detail about many forms which debt has taken and - where it's known - gives some relevant context to help understand it.

One thing he does point out, however, is that in recent decades, much of our debt has seemed to shift from a more useful tool for robust modern economies - as it was used in early 20th century for Keynesian stimulus and the likes - to more of a tool for subjugation, through new forms of debt peonage - e.g. with student debt in the USA or financial aid packages to former colonies - very similar to what we've seen in earlier times.

I think it's a fantastic book, offering a very compelling narrative of how our social systems have evolved around these notions of debt since civilisation began. Also, if anyone wants to dig into the book right away, there are free versions of the book online[0], including an audiobook[1]. Since Graeber is an anarchist, I'm sure he doesn't mind if not everyone is paying for it ;)

They really are. In order to make effective (let alone efficient) use of DynamoDB you need to keep in mind exactly how it works behind-the-scenes and exactly how the charging models works at all times. And you have very few, very coarse levers to pull (over-provision, under-provision, etc.)

Every in-depth explanation or tutorial of DynamoDB I've seen advises to do things like this in multiple different load scenarios. There's a pretty good intro for DynamoDB over at acloud.guru: https://acloud.guru/learn/aws-dynamodb - beware though, it costs money and it's very long (though it's split up so you can cherry pick the bits you care about).

I think DynamoDB might be worth investigating when you're hitting a scale where most other off-the-shelf options don't work and you'd be heading down the path of building your own solution on top of something anyway.
It’s also an open question just how many of those costs are real and how many of them are political, regulatory, or otherwise artificial. Maybe nuclear is expensive because we’re making it expensive.

A data point in favor of this: Suppose there was a fast developing country that had the resources and requirement to build more power generation capacity than any other society in human history. Suppose, further, that this country was relatively immune to political concerns because it was governed by a technocratic bureaucracy. Just for the hell of it, let’s imagine that most of the techno-bureaucrats have some sort of engineering background. It so turns out that there is a country exactly like this, and their long term energy policy is to build a massive hydroelectric dam on the one place in their country that is particularly well-suited for it, and then build lots and lots and lots of fission plants and invest in fusion research.

Security major issue for edge computing. Also I guess as it is isolated you assume it will be hacked and then handle the risk as well.

This is true, but even going once a week works. I find also that beginners take far too many breaks during the day, claiming physical fatique when it is usually just mental. I would always rather see someone quit the day early than stop and start and finish at 4pm.
What if we just delete all the debt and start from zero? Won't the zero (everything people have built and developed to the date) be better than if the debtors had never taken the credits?

> Predicted branches, like that while loop, aren't that expensive.

The dispatch loop conditional used to be quite expensive. Since Haswell it has become much less expensive, such that it wasn't even worth threading dispatch. But now with Spectre mitigations that cost may rise again.

Also, it depends on how tight the VM loop is. The prediction buffers are only so big, so if your ops are doing alot of work you can end up back with pre-Haswell performance.

It generally takes biology students at the advanced undergrad to early grad student level two years of weekly literature reviews with groups of their peers and mentors where they discuss the merits and shortcomings of research papers before they become able to reliably be able to do this on their own.They start out spending several hours per paper to dive deep before taking less than an hour (my professor took 30 minutes) when they're proficient.

For a layman to try to do the same without the same feedback mechanisms is an exercise in futility that will almost certainly result in misunderstandings. Most people online without that necessary background who claim to accurately interpret research literature are fooling themselves and the people who believe them.

If you want to have a more informed and evidence-based perspective on some field, you should start with the resources that are tested on millions of students every year, constructed in a coherent fashion to communicate the more reliable findings of a field that are considered essentially true by consensus: I am talking about textbooks, of course.

And if you can't be bothered to seriously read and learn the contents of thousands of pages of textbooks, how much can you say you really want to understand the context of research papers that assume that knowledge implicitly?

If the above seems to be more work than you care to commit (a completely reasonable conclusion!), just stick to some basic heuristics that seem to have been held true for decades or longer and are consistent with the advice of medical professionals over the ages.

Michael Pollan's advice to "Eat food. Mostly plants. Not too much." is pretty solid.

There are a lot of ways to greatly reduce the cost. You can buy some really great second (even third) hand gear very cheap. Lift tickets at smaller mountains or even hills that are not as challenging to advanced boarders are often very reasonable. If you can adjust your work schedule to free up the odd weekeday that too will save a lot on the lift ticket.
