So still 35% coming from fossil if the remaining nuclear plants are shut down. Again, Germany goals and effort are laudable, but you miss my point, it is not about nuclear vs renewable, but nuclear vs fossils as a complement to renewable.

Why didn't Germany close its coal plants first? This would have saved several Metric Tons of CO2 and saved the life of a few thousands people (due to air pollution).

When is Germany going to reach no CO2 emissions? (Expanding nuclear along renewable would have meant it could have reached this goal right now). You talk about the costs of EPR (which exploded I agree), but this is nothing compared to the cost of climate change, which Germany contribute three times more than France. This cost is shared across the world, but this is hypocritical to not take it into account.

Public transport in the US is, as a rule, wildly inferior to public transport in the rest of the OECD. But still, all things are relative, and the quality of public transport in the US is more or less on a gradient, with bigger cities generally better than smaller ones.

Another factor is that car ownership is much higher in the US (with the sole exception of NYC), so poor public transport impacts a smaller population. (In car-dependent societies, however, poor infrastructure and traffic congestion can have a similar impact -- limiting the effective "size" of the city -- so it's not like relying on cars lets one escape from this problem). Whereas in the UK, the low quality of public transport (outside of London) is not compensated for by comparably high levels of car ownership.

My company is working on urban-accessibility metrics that should make it much easier to have data-driven discussions about the correlation between transport networks and economics. Can't wait to show that off in a few months.
There should be some better control around this feature. For example you might feel ok about first party click tracking but not third party. Or you may just want to shut the feature off completely. You shouldn’t need a browser extension to do this for you.

Most of these "hacks" require messing with windows registry or other parts which eventually get partially overwritten by a system update and you're left with a partially usable system at best.
Your numbers are a bit off (2018: 155TWh solar+wind; 65TWh biomass+hydro; 2006: 158TWh nuclear as of [0]), but I'd agree with your conclusion. The biggest disappointment in those graphs is the near constant use of lignite, but politicians seem still very resistant giving up the jobs of that industry.

At my last job, my manager “tricked” me during the interview. Apparently, he wanted to see how I dealt with criticism. At least that is how the recruiter justified it when I expressed my dissatisfaction with the experience and my hesitation about working for that person.

That manager ended up being all about power trips and it made for a very toxic culture in his team and in interactions with others outside of the team. I left after less than a year despite not having a job lined up.

The only bright side is having found a position at a place that is the complete opposite.
Except taxi ranks are a queue of fungible vehicles; uber/lyft's are "bespoke" so the exact same structure won't work quite as well.

5G NR is already available in the US on Verizon with a Moto Mod

RF bands
5G: n261 (27.5-28.35 GHz); n260 (37-40 GHz)

4G: B2, B4, B5, B13, B46, B48, B66

Verizon launched 5G New Radio (Nonstandalone) at 28 GHz with 400 megahertz of TDD spectrum — which doesn’t include the LTE anchor carrier, SRG said. Based on its initial survey, the firm estimated that there are close to 100 5G nodes in downtown Minneapolis, although it had yet to confirm how many of those were on-air. Each node has two Ericsson AIR 5121 5G radios, according to SRG.

Since it's a Perl article, can we golf? Just as Conway shows that we can re-write the Perl, also the Haskell can be re-written. In general, manually dispatching by pattern matching on a `Maybe` type I think indicates that you should be using `maybe`; I would want to replace

print_maybe :: Show a => Maybe a -> IO ()
print_maybe (Just m) = print m
print_maybe (Nothing) = putStrLn "nothing"

by

print_maybe = print . maybe "nothing" show
The Nokia 920 is still the phone I've been the happiest with, of all I've had. A catchy design, a screen with a sunlight mode that worked, amazing call quality, great photo quality, great video quality, and impressive audio recording.

On top of that, the Windows Phone UX was so good in making you aware of everything at a glance. While Android makes you unlock the phone then swipe down to see your notifications, Windows Phone simply got all the info you needed on the home screen. Quicker, simpler, better.

Shame about the apps, yes. Google actively tried to kill Windows Phone by not making apps for it and cutting API access from lots of 3rd party apps. And while the Nokia apps were extremely good (Nokia Cinemagraph was so ahead of its time, seriously), that's not enough to sustain a whole mobile OS in this era of closed apps and walled sites.
Because the threat of death unless you pay up concentrates the mind - or crass, deep sucking greed - you choose!!
Ask HN: Most hands-off way to run, monitor and maintain a web app?
As a tech worker, I love tinkering with tech in my spare time but don't have that much spare time.

Also, over the years, I've learnt the value of keeping it simple.

I want to run a web based application (https://github.com/honeytrap/honeytrap), configure it, monitor it, collect some logs, and update it.

What's the most light touch (whilst giving me just enough flexibility) to do so?

An obvious choice is something like a Digital Ocean VPS, but this still leaves me having to worry about (among other things) an OS and updates.

I have gone down the path of a managed kubernetes solution, but this actually requires quite a lot of overhead.

Any suggestions?
Or, as human civilization currently does, ignores threats to its civilization because it would be inconvenient to change in response to that threat.
Its run was short (less than a decade), but during the late 80s it did fairly well: reportedly 5-6M units [0] sold. It was popular in Europe, less so in the US; similar to Sony MiniDisc, which was actually successful globally during its run, but just not in the US.

This is an area that could use some work. I use MaxTo on Windows to set up snapping regions on my 34" ultrawide. It's pretty good but I sure think it would be better if it was built into Windows.
Software too. The Nokia-made apps on the 920 were all extremely polished and worked perfectly with the rest of the phone.

that doesn't sound like Apple is protecting my privacy like they claim . it sounds the exact opposite of protecting privacy
For years I ran 2 1080 27's - one portrait, one landscape - off of my MacBook Pro. Last year I decided to try a 28 inch 4K at work, which led to purchasing a 30 inch 4k at home. I also purchased a laptop stand so I can put the laptop off to the side and stow Slack or Spotify over there.

For me, the higher resolution on a single wide screen makes me far more efficient. I can tile 4 windows or 2 side by side and, as others have indicated, not be turning my head constantly. Plus, when using the dual 27s I still naturally tended to push lesser used apps over to the monitor not directly in front of me, so the single ultrawide and laptop stand was not much of an adjustment workflow-wise, but was a huge boost in productivity for me.

YMMV of course, but I've seen a lot of benefit going the ultrawide route.
Well, the Atari 8-bit FAQ is just off by a magnitude. http://www.retrocomputing.net/info/siti/total_share.html is ok and well sourced but they do skip some models from Atari and Commodore.
I would question how many of the buildings and infrastructure in South Florida will still be usable/habitable 50 years from now, even without a sea level rise.

In California both the San Francisco Bay area and Los Angeles have a significant amount of near term risk in terms of water and seismic risk. The absolute worst case scenarios probably make Miami in 2069 look mild.

During the cold war, the assumption was that any major US or European city could become un-inhabitable in moments and most of the humans would be dead. That provided a pretty strong incentive not to build in a dense urban areas, but it was balanced out with the sense of total annihilation for everyone. Some still chose to put their money in to fallout shelters than "prime" Manhattan real estate.

I don't know much about cities and populations outside of the US. I suspect a lot of them are at risk. In Iraq, if the Mosul dam failed, most of the major cities would be wiped out. This is probably true in many other places with questionable hydrology infrastructure.

It would be interesting to build risk models of geographical areas that are at risk of instant destruction (dam failure, earthquakes, nuclear power plant failures, nuclear weapons) and longer term risks. What parts of the world will humans live in 500 years?

Also I'd like to hear from people who are living in the Millennium Tower in San Francisco.

Most of the top areas actually have really good transit, with the exception of Midland (on the list from west Texas oil money) and maybe Des Moines (I’m unfamiliar with it so I’m making an assumption).

San Jose and Sunnyvale have the cal train, linking a 50 mile long area into about an hours worth of travel. Bridgeport and Stamford have the metro north train, enabling commutes of 40 miles for tons of people to New York.

Consider what would happen to the South Bay if the Cal Train closed, or to Connecticut if the Metro North shut down. Way fewer workers would be able to to live their, and the populations would shift.
Haha yes, it would be fun (as a dev) to look back at those meetings and see who promised what

The Most Important Thing to Look Out for as a Startup Founder
I have History and CS degrees. The CS experience (at a top engineering school) felt fairly vocational. But being rigorously taught how to research, construct arguments, and communicate ideas in my Liberal Arts degree has been what made me successful past my first hire. I definitely recommend double majoring in a Liberal Arts degree.

Also perhaps there’s a lesson here about the CS curriculum being too vocational at most colleges? Or not needing a 4 year college if it aims to be vocational?

So somebody took a bunch of photos of children in public places. These children probably are not even aware about these photos and do not care either way. But activists from this post would like to turn these children into victims and drag them into dirty investigation. Then put the photographer into prison for 5-20 years and permanently label him "sex offender" for the rest of his life.

Yes, I would prefer to see solution that adapting to zero privacy life. Instead of trying to stop the flow of information.

> Most interesting is the massive outlier in the main graph - Edinburgh.

Edinburgh shouldn't really be on a graph of non-capital cities, given it gets a number of economic benefits from being a capital city, e.g. being the centre of the Scottish legal system, seat of the Scottish government, most popular tourist destination in the country (as capital cities often are), etc.

Agreed, the best phone I ever owned was the Nexus 5.

Currently I have a pixel 3, and technically there isn't much of a difference, meaning that its far larger price tag hangs heavily on it.
I'm open to the possibility they're not safe if and only if the proper evidence is provided. As it stands, no peer reviewed evidence has being provided to show that there is a casual link between radio waves emitted by cellular equipment and cancer diagnosis.
I'm a master's student in the UK so I'm not really sure what you mean by 'short courses'? The UK follows the Bologna process and bachelor degrees are 3 years, masters 1, PhDs are 3 years.

I'm not, Oxford and Cambridge are always in the top 5 universities in the world don't see how you can argue they are not.
I too hate the cycle of replacing expensive things every few years for little to no gain.

But in the case of the Apple Watch, I think this replacement cycle is the same as most jewelry/fashion items.
So many people decry taking any career path that isn't STEM-based, but surely one of the things the proliferation of technology and automation should one day enable is a world where someone could be a poet, or an artist, or an engineer, and not worry much about providing the material conditions of their life? I want to live in a world where anyone can be anything.

I still think it's pragmatic advice to avoid (or at least consider carefully) spending 150k on an english degree from a private school, but that's not due to any bias against english as an academic discipline - it's more about how much college costs and how debt constrains future choices.
I saw a quote somewhere from Linus Torvalds that Chrome OS may end up being the future Linux desktop, once they finish polishing off their Linux app integration (Project Crostini). I'm able to actually get most of my work done now in that environment.

IMHO the UK is not as bad as described by the OP, but it has certainly some issues that should be addressed ASAP.

I am an expat that has been living in Oxford & Cambridge for many years, after living in many other countries.

Upon arrival, I was shocked at how bad the public transport was in Cambridge. Different bus companies, incompatible tickets, unreliable schedules and extortionate prices. Trains are a bit better, but nothing to be proud of.

Second shock comes from car commutes. South & East England is pretty flat. But the road network really needs an upgrade. For example, highway interchanges are often roundabouts (!) leading to absolutely massive jams.

Thus, what would be a regular commute to work in mainland Europe by either public transport or car (say Buckingham to Oxford) is a bit of a nightmare and thus something nobody does.

Third thing is housing. Bad quality, and land controlled by a few leads to really high prices. Plus, low density and the aforementioned transport issues make it really hard to buy in cheap places that are a bit far away.

Lastly, education is expensive and there is a lot of elitism. In the US, I think it's not so difficult to get into e.g. Stanford if you come from a poor background as long as you work hard and get really nice SAT scores. However, in Oxbridge admissions are heavily biased towards high end schools. The only students from poor backgrounds I have personally met had exceptional achievements in their CV (e.g. IMO medals).

Use what works for you. Switching sometimes to learn new stuff is great, but don't lose your productivity.

I have been a long term Windows user (as main machine). I always liked it - even with the obvious annoyances. I'm pretty savvy at it, so can always fix issues that arise.

Now at my new job I use a Mac and also a lot more Linux. Its good and I like the command line but I am still happier when I'm working on a Windows machine it seems. Mac has its own annoyances and issues, like with display adapters and memory resets, as well as updates.

So privately I just bought a new Surface Laptop 2 and I'm happy and like the entire experience. Finally having more native Linux tools makes it much better experience also (and there is now a native ssh client! Yay!). It's also powerful enough to run a Linux VM seamlessly at all times- because I also really like Linux. So why not have both. :)

My advice, just use the one you are most comfortable with and where you know how to fix things.
Given the ridiculous complexity of our biological systems, it would be of course very naive to assume that there's no interaction. But nearly everything in our environment interacts with our biology. And for almost all of those interactions it's very hard to specify what exactly the effects are. Depending on which lens you study it through, you can arrive at a nearly random conclusion, if you even manage to get a "statistically significant" result through all the noise a biological system generates.

And that last point highlights one of the major gripes I have with research of this kind. "Statistically significant" does not mean what you think it means. A lot of people see it as a license to draw conclusions from a set of numbers, which it isn't. Remember that even the standard p-test has an absurdly high cut-off of 5% chance that the data is pure randomness. And even then, even if some divine oracle rejects your null, you still have to deal with the fact that intrinsic error in research is still pretty much impossible to quantify. There's a reason that in particle physics they don't consider something truly proven unless there's a five-sigma confidence.

The fact that so many of these health studies show no hope of ever reaching a five-sigma confidence interval, only confidently proves one thing to me: whatever harmful or benevolent effect it is they're studying, its harm or benefit isn't going to be significant. Biological systems are just too unpredictable to make sweeping statements about the harm or benefit of many, many things. Even ionising radiation, the one thing we can all agree is super harmful in significant doses, becomes equally harmless in background-level doses.

So in the absence of reliability of single studies on cell phone radiation harm, I have to fall back on the next best thing: meta studies. And given that the overwhelming majority of research fails to establish a link, and the significance argument I made earlier, makes me very carefree and comfortable about the phone that sleeps right next to my head every day.

“The science of government it is my duty to study, more than all other sciences; the arts of legislation and administration and negotiation ought to take the place of, indeed exclude, in a manner, all other arts. I must study politics and war, that our sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. Our sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history and naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry and porcelain.”

How interesting! Thank you for correcting me. In my country, the government never auctioned the mmWave spectrum thus I assumed this to be the case elsewhere. Very excited that Verizon has decided to make the densely deployed infrastructure to work.
> And yet the country voted for Brexit, mostly without even knowing what they were voting for.

Well obviously enough thought it was the right option.

>I agree with the OP that politics in the UK are toxic. There are only 2 parties that matter, and they are essentially the same, even though they would have you believe differently. The parties never work together, and spend all their time shamelessly sniping at one another and blocking bills based on political points scoring. It doesn't feel like either party wants what is best for the populace.

That how government works. You have the main party in power and the official opposition that tries to block bills it doesn't agree with. It has been like this for centuries.

> Then you have the tabloid media, which constantly fans the flames of hatred and outrage, poisoning the minds of a large part of the populace, essentially able to make them believe almost anything that suits the narrative of the owner's political affiliation.

I agree with you on this I don't think it is a problem unique to the UK. And I think it'll get better because the sales of newspapers is decreasing.
