> Name one important issue where the EU has reached a satisfactory agreement and results.

The ability to travel, reside, work anywhere I desire in the EU as a right that I can rely on instead of having to ask for permission. The fact that I could marry another EU citizen from another country without having to ask for permission. That we have no extra paperwork related to that, even with a child. I still remember passport checks at the border.

Last but not least: 75 years of peace in Europe. Making the arch enemies of France and Germany friends.

Not all is good about the EU, it suffers from large deficiencies, but it has also brought great successes.

When do you consider a child to be their own person? What about all the years before that?
IMO no, it isn't. FOSS project need participation, so not money but resources. FOSS idea is that software is knowledge, something that must be public and grow through interaction (sharing). So if I have a need or a desire and I start implementing it others may or may not join because they share the same or similar need or desire. That's the FOSS way.

I start a new project, for instance to autoclassify documents. Ok users of my code will contributed in code, hosting, documentation simply because they share my similar need/desire. If there is interest there is no need for money, software is not a product nor a thing we can live on. It's shared knowledge. There are no "producer" nor "consumers", only participants.

If we have a single-man-show that say "hey, found me so I can keep the project up" it means that:

- we completely lost FOSS model, transformed to a sort of neopatronage, the erotic dream of proprietary vendors that dream a world of products to be sold and bought;

- the project is already dead not because of lack of founds but because of lack of participants, knowledge, interest.
Can artificial intelligence tell a teapot from a golf ball?
While this comment is strictly true. Once self driving cars become common in cities, cities will start modifying roads to be more accessible to self-driving cars. This will result in "close to perfect" self driving cars in urban areas within a decade or two.

On the other hand, driving on remote country roads in ice storm conditions is something that self driving cars are never likely to be ready for, at least until tires come with automatically deployable half inch studs.
So sorry to hear that. This is my fear too. Are you trying to enter the workforce again with the tools available for the vision impaired?
> cognitive load of tool options

First time I hear options are bad. Many options and competition lead to best products. There are enough posts and people who tell you what you should use.

Or just use npmtrends or npmcharts. 1 second later you know what is going on and what module you should pick.

Why are people criticizing something they have never used?
May I ask: where and when did you grow up? Thanks.

I grew up not too far from south-central Los Angeles, California, in the 1970s and early 1980s, and was shot at on two occasions by gangs.

Raised by my grandparents, I was a full 'free-range' child.

Thanks for your reply.
Is this actually what they do, or is it a joke that went over my head?

I suppose so. That could be one's foot in the door for a FAANG role later down the line?

I'm not sure why you're upgrading my concerns about weight into "too heavy to be mass-market", I never said that. Conversations will typically be much more polite if you engage directly with what is said, rather than what was not said.

What I am saying is that the weight is a factor, especially since I am particularly concerned with the (in my opinion) unbearable cost of America's road network. You might disagree with with how much of an effect an EV will have, but ignoring tradeoffs and (unfairly) characterizing my concerns as "disingenuous or harmful" is neither helpful nor polite.

> An electric car may be 12% heavier than a gasoline car, but a semi truck is still 1600% heavier than that.

It's rather uncharitable of you to not apply my concerns to the EV conversion of semitrucks, since it's a direct and obvious parallel.

While Tesla's semitruck is expected to come in at the total weight as a Diesel truck including cargo, they are quite mum about how much the whole the truck itself weighs. This is important because a heavier truck means more trucks to compensate for reduced truck capacity. Walmart doesn't want less stuff shipped just because the truck carries less stuff, after all.

My concerns are even worse with semitrucks, because semitrucks do a lot of damage and pay very little for it in the terms of gas and usage taxes. An EV semitruck will be a complete free-rider when it comes to gas tax (they'll still pay for usage tax), representing an even larger transfer of wealth from the state to trucking companies than what already exists.
>most talks, like most research in general, are incremental improvements or variations of X

Again, I don't know if this is something that is only true in Biological science and less so in Computer Science, but while I agree most research is a minor incremental improvement, its often on a topic so specialized that most outside of your research group aren't very familiar with the intricacies.

This begs the question, like you said, then why would you care about hearing that talk? Maybe you don't even care about their thesis and are just interested in adapting a technique they used in your own work. Or maybe their thesis bridges a gap between two fields of study that were previously not very closely linked. Besides, when you're trying to communicate your work to other people, isn't it to your advantage to try and cast as wide of a net as possible? Isn't part of the point of talks and conferences to widen people's spheres a bit? There's no need to leave your home lab if you want to converse with people who understand most of what you're researching already.

Have you considered that your experience is not universal? I voted it up because I've had surprisingly common conversations with people at large corporations, academic institutions, and the U.S. federal government where sclerotic processes made every deployment a tense, error-prone ordeal which people went to great lengths to avoid.
Maybe eventually there won't be an advantage... We might need the battery capacity to stabilise the power grid if we add more renewable sources like solar.

There's no such thing as culturally muslim or christian, you could argue about jewish faith sometimes since it's ethnocentric, but just because these are abrahamitic religions doesn't mean you could lump those together.

> nonetheless get lumped into 'White (which is damn-near the same thing as ethnically Christian).

you said it yourself, it's lumping everything together. This never leads to anything good, just look at Jugoslavian war, same people or at least closely related ethnically and nevertheless so atrocious; that's what religion, hate and envy for patches of lands could lead to.
I think what he's saying is that the translation is still under copyright. Only the original would be public domain.

Theres a translation of Da Vinci's notebooks mentioned on the website. One would hope that the original had fallen out of copyright by now, so its only the translation that is falling out of copyright.
Sorry for my poor English: I mean "most lives are lived by defaults" because we live in a society that prize and push Ford-model workers, pyramidal organization. So most people simply follow the stream, do thing different is simply to hard these days.

Yea, but the princple remains. He bad mouthed the police so they arrested for it. In a country like the US where it appears that unduly high bails are set. (thousands of dollars for people on welfare may as well be a million) Getting arrested could easily mean the lose of freedom for a extended period of time. If that is the penalty for saying something, true or false. It suddenly becomes something people are afraid to do.

My problem with this article is the focus on the "startup" mythology of moving fast and breaking things. Break a Coulomb barrier, first, and then come talk to us.

I really liked https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0KuAx1COEk for a discussion of how to evaluate and understand fusion claims, as well as a discussion of the high-field REBCO tapes that seem poised to enable the ARC/SPARC reactors out of MIT. Another video I like is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMxOvuSMAug , featuring Steven Cowley.

In short, newly commercially available high temperature superconductors in mass quantities seem poised to give us at least a doubling of available magnetic field strength, and all the figure of merit that improve only linearly with size improve to the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th power with magnetic field strength. This is what could lead to break-even before ITER, not the mythology of American entrepreneurial moxie.

In my opinion, the article author knows whom he's flattering.
The Inergie 60C must be one as well, it's too small to be anything else. Also, the finsix dart is GaN but it's not USB C.
This is an excellent article that describes and explains many of the symptoms I and the people I know are experiencing.

Granted, it was written by someone who went through graduate school (a PhD program, specifically), so our experience might not be representative of the entire generation - but it resonated with me.
"It is false and defamatory to suggest that Julian Assange has ever “breached his bail”, “jumped bail”, absconded, fled an arrest warrant, or that he has ever been charged with such at any time."

I would love to hear their explanation for why they think this isn't true.
Interesting. I stopped touching frameworks on my second year in. It's the same problem I have with trying to develop within the constraints of someone else's work: I find it confusing and anxiety-inducing.

I'd rather write my own stuff, unless I'm woefully unequipped to to begin with. (Cryptography, authentification, credit card handling...) I feel like I'd learned quite a bit of JavaScript, specifically – especially with the help of someone like Angus Croll [https://javascriptweblog.wordpress.com/].

I'm not that clever a JS developer – or a programmer, for that matter – so his `compose()` and `curry()` sound magical to me.

Subjective wellbeing, stress hormone levels, and fMRI readings would all be good ways to measure happiness in my opinion. When I wrote the above, I was thinking of Buddhist monks, but I didn't want to imply other monastic disciplines were somehow lesser, so I just said "monks". I do not have any direct proof of monks being happier, but there are TONS of scientific studies showing better results for experienced meditators on the indicators mentioned at the beginning of this comment.

Another approach to this is to not use solid walls. General Fusion (BC, Canada) is playing with the idea of a spherical plasma within a void of spinning liquid lead. The lack of solid walls makes for some very interesting options in terms of damage mitigation.
I could propose as many pat, armchair solutions as the next HN reader :) However, it's clearly not a problem that's conducive to quick fixes, or it would have been sorted.

That said, the arguments for the status quo are laughable. There's no other field of human endeavour where people claim that 24 hour shifts are >safer< than 8 hour shifts. It's not like handoffs have even been eliminated: handouts are just done 3 times less, but by profoundly sleep-deprived people, who have to reiterate the last 24 hours to the incoming staff.

When people defend behaviours of this nature, it's a 'culture smell': to a greater or lesser extent, the proponents have been indoctrinated to cling to a local maxima.

I think this is a bikeshedding criticism more than something that requires serious concern. Asciidoctor simply supports more out-of-the-box and officially than reStructuredText. Preferring reStructuredText to Asciidoctor this way is like comparing Python to Ruby for syntax alone. Function is just as important.

In Asciidoctor, I can:

* Use GraphViz (and other diagram) docs to describe architectural components.

* Actually test my example code, using named, delineating comments in my test suite and including the code between those comments as an example in my file.

* Support for WARNING, NOTE, etc. callout "admonitions"

* Auto-numbered list blocks with "."

Some of these may be possible with reStructuredText, and can definitely be supported with third party plugins, but all of this is first-party and amazing.

Note: IntelliJ's Asciidoctor plugin is incredible and it live renders mathematical equations AND graphing support in addition to everything else.

Just to be clear - you don't think the author has ever used a tool with too many configuration options?
That was my biggest eyeopener when I started using React - the piece I know just the tippy top of the iceberg. While that's true with a lot of languages (it's not as though I know what's going on with the whole .NET stack) it seemed especially egregious. I had a site up and running quickly, but it pretty much entirely magic.

Do you teach JavaScript first just because of how fast it is to get it up and running (ie. "Just open your web browser")? If I remember correctly it was much more vexing than a lot of compiled / strongly typed languages as the errors in those languages came sooner. In JavaScript there have been times where it loads and runs, but nothing happens, and I had no idea why, which proved frustrating.

>Your assertion can only make sense if you also believe that a 12% paycut is irrelevant to your income.

Beyond a certain hand-to-mouth income it is (e.g. 150K vs 132K).

And many people chose pay cuts over personally overworking or stretching their business too thin.

The overly trivial point being behind the parent argument is that 100% of your revenue if better than less than 100%. Which is not always the case in business.

Businesses and freelancer drop gigs all the time to concentrate on where their main income is coming from. If you have a difficult customer or few demanding customers that generate just 20% of your income, it's often wise to drop them to focus on your easier 80%.

I very much agree - we put most of our donations on a recurring basis. Oddly, a few projects specifically asked for a one-off donation because they felt like a recurring donation would make them feel like they "owed us" something. Of course, we don't have any conditions for our donation, but it was an interesting sentiment I hadn't expected to find.
Yeah but rentals are extremely inconvenient. You need to arrange a ride to the rental place. Most of them close at 5:00pm unless you're close to an airport. So now you're also taking time off work. The paperwork takes at least 20-30 minutes for some ridiculous reason. They will try to upsell you on a larger vehicle, extra insurance, etc. It's a pain.

Once or twice a year it's tolerable. If you get to doing it monthly or more, it's becomes a major detractor.
Have your Sciatic nerve looked into. I had a pretty bad bike crash (doored going 30mph, bounced on pavement with left hip).

So best to get that fixed.

I agree that we overvalue reason.

To reason about something you have to reason from premises. But where do the premises come from?

I'm sure many of us have had that experience, when dealing with a difficult problem, where an insight comes to us out of the blue.

Where did that new insight come from, certainly not through rational deliberation. In fact, often it's not until we stop reasoning that the insight is free to appear.

Often we can't explain where the idea came from, it seems to be from some subconscious (irrational?) part of our mind.

Once we have the insight (a new premise) then we can start to reason from it. But in my opinion, reason comes in only after our mind has done the real work elsewhere.
