> Rooftop solar doesn't use any additional land and the US has vast tracks of mostly uninhabited deserts.

The problem of putting solar panels in deserts is well known: it's not where people live, so you need a way to transport the electricity, and you lose a lot of energy between where it is produced and where it is consumed. So, putting them in deserts is a terrible idea. On rooftops it makes a lot more sense in regions that get good sunlight.

Judging by the other early comments, this article seems to be triggering the dark underbelly of the HN community to make an appearance.
This, so much. All you need is (1) how to backup and restore your data, and (2) how to reinstall the system from scratch should it get hosed. The typical "Windows" way of system administration, haha... but hey, it works. And Debian with an LXDE session is literally snappier than XP, on XP-class hardware! (Just don't skimp on the RAM - less than 1GB doesn't cut it anymore if you're surfing the modern web. And stay on the "stable"/LTS update channel - none of that newfangled "rolling release", bleeding-edge silliness)

Concerning the Swedish study:
Why would those that run around outside enough to get skin cancer live longer?
Maybe it’s because they’re running around outside. More exercise may explain why they live longer.
And here in the U.S., more UV exposure was associated with a shorter, not longer, lifespan.

Estimates about vitamin D preventing internal cancers are from intervention studies involving giving people vitamin D supplements (not exposing people to UV rays).

“pokerwe1.info” by pokerwe1 info
I wonder if there's a tipping point in information asymmetry where the theory becomes irrelevant. Sellers will almost always have more information than buyers about a specific instance of a product, but there comes a point in a market where buyers have ENOUGH information to avoid buying a lemon, and so can adjust their offer based on that information and disrupt the feedback loop that drives peach owners out of the market.

As an example, you probably could have done very well for yourself in 2009 buying mortgage-backed securities that didn't include any subprime loans. The securities may have had other problems, but at some point there was enough information available to stop buying the lemon securities for subprime loans and pay a bit more than p.avg for the security if it wasn't backed by subprime loans. Information asymmetry still exists, but there's enough information available to avoid making a catastrophic purchase.

So it's almost like the market for lemons is forced to self-correct, because the quality of the product in the market will necessarily drop until it becomes obvious to the buyers what attributes distinguish between a lemon and a peach.

So maybe the chief lesson in The Market for Lemons is if it looks like a market is all peaches, you shouldn't buy anything at all until you've found a few lemons, and there's money to be made in that market if you can distinguish between peaches and lemons before anyone else.

So is information asymmetry really just a market opportunity for a savvy buyer?
This solution is for the 1% or the 0.1%, the vast majority who choose Linode are creating vulnerable servers because they are not going to competently keep the machine up to date on security patches or configure it properly for security.

Managed hosting is a requirement for the masses, and comparing a managed hosting service with a self-service VPS is a bit disingenuous IMO. Managed may seem more pricey, but that's only unless you don't value your own time as an administrator, or if your time isn't valuable (you're not good at it lol).
> One aspect of nuclear that's never brought up is that the mining process is carbon-intensive (all gas powered machines)

So is the process of making solar panels: there's so solar powered machine manufacturing the solar panels after all! However I would wage the ratio of carbon consumption over the lifetime of a nuclear plant is extremely favorable compared to the lifetime energy output.

> in the costs of nuclear power is decommissioning

How about the costs of recycling/destruction of solar panels? They don't last forever (far from that) and you also need to take in account that the cost of solar panels (already heavily subsidized in many countries) does not include that kind of things either. As for decommissioning nuclear plants, it's not "unknown" in any way, there are already multiple cases in the US and in Europe where plants have been stopped and decommissioned and the economic impact can be estimated and calculated.

Let's say you normally earn 120 k a year, or 10k a month. You and your cofounder share a studio in SF for 5k, then you need 10 + 10 + 5 = 25 k a month, meaning the YC money lasts you 4 months if you both had a good salary and don't want to compromise at all. If you are lucky enough to be earning more than 120 k now, then I'm sure you have 100+ stashed away by now, so it really should be a no-brainer for almost anyone.

In reality most people earn much less, and are willing to dial down their spending a bit for a few months, so I really don't think money is an issue for the vast majority of YC applicants.
That doesn’t seem true. I live in a small city and have three major hospitals within a 20 minute drive, plus half a dozen urgent cares.

I looked up NaK and only found solid-fueled fast reactors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium-potassium_alloy#Coolant

Do you have any examples of liquid-fueled reactors using NaK?

Some MSR companies are working on fast reactors using chloride salts, including Moltex, Elysium, and Terrapower (in a project separate from their better-known sodium-cooled fast reactor).

High temperature is a property of all MSRs I know of and does have some advantages, including better thermodynamic efficiency and usefulness for process heat.

>Strong technologies capture the imaginations of technology enthusiasts.

By this definition, I disagree that music streaming is a strong technology. Streaming succeeded because it appealed to non-enthusiasts, who are a bigger market. Technology enthusiasts were early adopters of MP3 downloads, and I think they are still generally in favor of owning their own music.

I went through this process exactly a few years ago. After a major breakdown (my third), my therapist kept telling me to change jobs, but I was too scared/depressed to make any sort of large change in my life.

After six months of weekly therapy, I finally felt well enough to hand in my notice. Once I'd done that I felt a huge weight lift off me. It still took several more months to get back on an even keel, and I'm still popping happy pills. The moral I guess here is... if people are telling you over and over again that your job is a major [bad] influence on your state of mind, then you should probably listen to them.
Tech companies should use these to screen applicants instead of code challenges.

That's a good article and I agree with its essence, but some examples don't seem correct to me. Sometimes Weak Technologies are a necessary intermediate step to strong ones.

> But the Board Support Packages from typical vendors tend to be as-closed-as-possible, with limited access to documentation, software updates and support for small customers.

You keep saying this but you've never provided any evidence, and it's clear the US care is worse across a range of indicators.

Some people say the US system works best for the rich and healthy, but even they suffer because of the weird amount of over-testing and over-diagnosis that happens.

I’ve created a Slack account with just one user, me. I have a private channel for every project, every category of problem and every interest I have.
It’s not just about pasting links in the channel, you can leave messages in the channel(obviously) create documents, threads, todo lists, the search and the automations even sometimes I chat to myself in private to clarify my mind. All this is registered and can be revised later.

It might seem a bit weird but it works for me, problably because the familiarity with the tool and the versatility of Slack.

Also it helps to have this place to quickly dump ideas in the right channel and move on so you are not distracted at work, you can come back to the channel when you have the time for it.
This is such an obvious explanation that it makes me doubt the whole study.

Everyone knows that 5 year cancer survival rates in the US are high because the US over-tests so much.

This is evidence that harm is being caused. It's not evidence of a good health care system.

Why are male incontinence products so prevalent in the states? It's because men are pushed to get PSA and similar screening for prostate cancer. This means the US detects a lot of slow growing cancer that's unlikely to kill someone (which improves the 5 year survival stats), but it also means that the US then provides treatment to those men. That treatment has side effects.

There's always been some leeway in that. Both the original Mac OS and Windows had a variety of languages targeting it, but they tended to strive towards emulating the core SDK experience (if they weren't a wrapper around it).

Unix had it different with there being no core experience in the first place -- X11 being a glorified terminal multiplexer plus xeyes. Whether it was the commercial Unices with OpenLook/NeWS vs Motif/CDE or later Linux with Qt vs Gtk. Not that there wasn't a chance -- at one time Motif won over the commercial sector and if it would've been available with the same license as Xlib/Xt, GTK would've never been developed.

But that seems to be a thing of the past. These days the web forced us to give up all platform-specific UI expectations -- heck, any expectations of having a proper UI in the first place. And thus applications are all over the place, Electron being just one particularly heinous culprit. Material UI on the desktop. Plenty of applications starting up web-based interfaces in the browser.

On the one hand, as you say, this doesn't make the particular desktop matter anymore, it's more a vehicle of getting your wifi driver to work properly and load the browser. So one could use Linux or even Haiku without any big losses. On the other hand, if everything's pastel-colored oatmeal, there's no big benefit from a neat, unified, C++ desktop experience that BeOS was aiming for.

If you want a vision of the future, imagine HTML stomping on your face -- forever.
