(1) They are entitled to them because the government is an extension of the will of the people, and the people entitled certain classes to certain benefits. We, the people, can change this. Until we do, they are and will remain entitled. People payed in to provide these benefits and these benefits are being rendered.

That said they're not all "take" and no "give." As a sibling posted, patent protection incentivizes the inclusion of invention in the public domain in exchange for temporary monopoly. Copyright law and IP law give rise to whole industries in and of themselves. All of which rely on law enforcement, on fire protection, on education, on healthcare, etc. These things cost money.

(2) Classical Socialism is not redistribution of wealth. Socialism is the government controlling the means of production. Wealth is not the means of production it is the ends. Socialism in the public discourse in the US is yet another definition, basically "capitalism with guard rails" where society ensures a minimum standard of health and well-being for everyone so that we can all rise to the level of our abilities in a meritocratic way instead of plutocratically.

(3) Yes, you are correct, however I personally believe in the "I'd rather 90% of my contributions squandered than see someone die unnecessarily because they fell through the cracks" -- it's really easy to end up there through a series of unfortunate events and I'm not willing to write these people off.

(4) Dick-ish tone or not (and it happens to me by accident from time to time) you do deserve level-headed reply, though I do only speak for myself.

Do you understand that without any energy production the vast majority of humanity also dies?

Electricity isn't some luxury we can get rid of if there are a few thousand deaths here and there associated with the production.
Most of Germany's plants were built in the 1970s and were reaching end of life dates anyway. They probably would have been decommissioned in the early 2020s but Merkel accelerated the process due to the Fukushima disaster.
Well, from where I sit, interfaces are another kind of inheritance - inheritance of API rather than implementation. But once you can have default functions, that to me looks exactly like inheritance of a base class, except that the base is called "interface" instead of "class".

Am I missing something?

10+: $9.31375

100+: $8.78655

500+: $8.28920

1000+: $7.82000

That is absurdly cheap, and you can be sure with million-unit orders they're probably getting half that price and working direct with the manufacturer. $7.82 per unit @ 1000 for that feature set[1] brings it into the realm of hobbyists to make their own phones.

Your comment reads as a rah-rah for adjusting your own mental state by force of will. I want to make it clear that is not what happened to me. I can't do that, don't believe I have ever done that, and I honestly believe it is a myth that anyone can, although I might for politeness not challenge someone who claims to.

I also have found that I have no increased tolerance for what feels like abuse when I am paid more.

The only way I have ever improved my situation is by seeking out an environment in which the people I directly dealt with were clear about what they want from me.

If you see your job as doing what the business requires or needs, that's easy to say, but nobody knows what it needs! Even the CEO probably doesn't have a clue. Any large business is IMO mostly a kind of self-organizing machine with random actions directed from the top. For years, my employer was doing acquisitions and trying to diversify. Then they reversed it all and broke up their parts under different names.

Costa Rica has banned new combustion vehicle sales as of 2021, Norway 2025, and other countries 2030-2040. As EVs go mainstream, I expect those deadlines to be pulled forward.
> Innovation in these sectors is far more important now than more investments into renewable electricity (which is still welcome of course).

Like the innovation of electric cars? Or are you saying we should ditch electric cars and focus on hydrogen fuel cells?

If these innovations follow the common trend, they will convert from combustion engines to electric engines. Bearing with me, this means that the more things switch to electric means that the carbon impact of the grid becomes more important.

Yeah, some things can't become electrified. You can't make an electric cow. But lab grown meat has much higher electric costs than grass fed cows.

> My point is that nuclear power is safe, as long as all disaster scenarios are taken into account

To be honest, you could probably make that argument for anything under question in any scenario. But even if we were to skip the logical loopholes ("We took it into account, but we decided the benefits outweighed the costs because of <fill in any reason>"), let's just look at the raw numbers or simply just historical facts. Have any disasters at coal plants rendered areas uninhabitable for centuries? OK, take one step back. Would those disasters have occurred if "all disaster scenarios [were] taken into account"?

The reality is that we have no one good and practical energy solution for the world. And even though I believe that there's no practical solution that can beat a tried and tested solution like nuclear in terms of efficiency, I also believe that there's been no tried and tested solution that's been worse in terms of failure.
A bit off topic, but fyi Stephen, the mailhide widget at the bottom of your "About" page seems to be broken. I browsed your site beyond the article you submitted and wanted to mention that you may be able to use Ctrl-[ as a substitute for the missing Escape key on your iPad pro. I do that a lot on normal keyboards just to avoid the pivot movement and stay on the home row, as it's just a simple pinky stretch (assuming Caps Lock as an additional Control), and also map Ctrl-] to be the tmux escape for the same reason.
Honestly, it's because intent counts. There's lots of reasons a company who wants to do business in and with the US would want a US entity. They are not required to sell their services from the US for all eternity, however they are also not required to sell their services to the US either. For now, at least, the calculus is in favor of doing business both from here and to here.

> might nearly eliminate serial rapists

Not sure how that follows, that requires the victims to come forward, be taken serious by the police, and the whole process to progress through the justice system in time for their second crime.
Not to mention the first rape wouldn't be avoided anyway, so it's a quite small security it buys.

How many serial rapists can there be, anyway? Of those, how many of them raped multiple people, instead of the same victim several times, who was too traumatized to go to the police? How many are family members?

That might require a little bit more security knowledge than I practically have, with respect to securing servers in cloud environments. That was one of the appeals of PaaS platforms, to me. At least with Kubernetes, you're based on things like Container OS, which to my knowledge are secure out of the box (zero config).

Me, setting that up from scratch on a single VPS, that might get hacked if I mess it up, and then my customer's availably is compromised? I wouldn't want to be in that situation.

I don't think most of us agree that redistribution of wealth (the proceeds of production) is socialism (the redistribution of the means of production). The US has particularly strong property rights, and asking companies to chip in to reimburse the public for the benefits they've leveraged to become and remain successful (such as national defense, public education, public roads, public police, public fire departments, public water, courts, etc) is beyond the pail even if you choose to label that socialism. I don't think it's beyond the pail to work to build a more meritocratic than plutocratic society to ensure the next generation of businesses also.

You can still find that in heavy equipment. My Kubota tractor is pretty easy to service and designed for 8-10k hours over a 30+ year lifespan.

The thing is designing for that costs a fair bit, just take a look at the step from riding lawn mower (~$2k) to garden tractor(~$15k) for similar horsepower. It's not a direct apples to apples comparison but does go to show how much more something overbuilt can run.
The idea that people’s important opinions can be changed by some sort of silver bullet mega-argument is naive and immature, and frankly a great example of what’s wrong with discourse on the internet.

In this light, the fact that CMV has the hubris to think their ‘experiment’ is significant outside reddit is not surprising, but no less laughable.
I had a Zune 120 and I still miss it. What a great, simple player.

On the other hand, it would have gotten a -7 rating on the ifixit scale. The hard drive got jostled one too many times and stopped working properly. I've fixed a lot of phones, but the Zune turned out to be unopenable, if that's even a word.

Actually, that's a lie. It did ultimately open, but the casing cracked repeatedly.

>'make it work.'

This is a major problem with capital taking over industries. Financiers don't care and also don't remotely understand what is happening in the details. Technologists running companies at least have the high level insights required to make nuanced decisions regarding whether to move fast or focus on quality. Finance just cares about the quarterly figures and we end up with a make it work rather than make it good approach to building tech. As long as we're making money who cares right. The Boeing scandal is a good example of this.

> Car tires should be far more common than MC tires, atleast.

Remember, though, it was a purported list of what people buy with their tax refunds. A lot of people treat their tax refund as a windfall to spend on something fun rather than on something necessary.

I'd expect that for most people, if their car needs new tires they fall under the "necessary" category and they get them soon after realizing they need them. A motorcycle is often for recreational use, and new tires might fall into the "for fun" category, to be put off until some extra money is available.
Just because one guy wants to break the law doesn't mean anyone who ever interacted with him is an accomplice. There is a difference between participating in a crime and selling something or facilitating in a transactions. Dalstrong selling kitchen knives without a background check is not wrong. Amazon and Discover facilitating buying kitchen knives without a background check is not wrong. Buying a kitchen knife set so your pal can rob somebody is wrong.

We're not just supposed to stop selling kitchen knives because some guy did something illegal with one.

I would be pro-nuclear except for the waste problem. I don’t trust humanity to be able to confine the waste for centuries. For all we know it could be seen as some sort of “treasure” by future, ignorant, civilizations, dug up, and spread around in trinkets. If there is a way of permanently and completely removing them from the biosphere, I’d change my mind.
For me, there was one that would transfer/edit the autocomplete files in Outlook, when formatting or transferring to a new computer, or fixing Exchange migration issues. Previously with IT client work (2002-2015 before cloud email took over) it was a godsend.

I think there on the right track from a usability standpoint in making tools that will help build a minimal kernel by determining what system-calls need to be included based on the application. Pulling in the correct dynamic libraries is also important.

I envision a system that can use static analysis to chose system calls, find libraries (ldd), and perhaps even choose between appropriate algorithms (thread schedulers) all based on the particular program it is going to run. In other words Kernels that optimize themselves based on the program much like compilers optimize programs based on the various things like architecture. I think uni-kernels have great potential.

Also for system calls that are not security concerns or performance concerns why not continue to proxy them to the host kernel as Hermit core does?
It would be better to compare it to xz, which is significantly slower (and compresses better) than gzip.
For folks who think solar/wind/other sources are just as good or better, why not invest in all energy sources anyway? In most cases anyway this will be private investment and there is no reason not to experiment with all types of energies (including new types of nuclear reactors) instead of waiting and see if renewables can achieve their promise.

If you are going to make bets, take as many bets as you can.

I am an Extra class licensee in the US and while I have a lot of respect for the Ham community, deeply entrenched thinking places the future of amateur radio in jeopardy. If we only allow CW and SSB phone as truly open and accessible operating modes a whole world of technical innovation and integration will be lost. While the letter of the FCC rules might exclude some of the more recent digital modes listed, the traffic is not encrypted. With all the strong encryption out there in the world, it's hard to buy amateur radio as a threat to national security unless we're worried that a bunch of 80 year olds are going to take up arms against the republic.

To me it sounds like some operators have sour grapes because they can't immediately listen to everybody's traffic. In short I support Ham moving forward and not becoming even more antiquated than it is.

I do think the headline of the article is poorly written as I don't think this is about spectrum allocation in any way.

Anything is "arguably" worse or better. But honestly, I would challenge that point any day. As much as I'm against fossil fuels, coal powered plants only contribute a very minor part to global warming compared to lets say... ships, planes and cars. And my point is not about coal specifically - it was just mentioned because that's what the main opposition is to nuclear. Not solar/wind/water.

My point is that failure of nuclear energy provision is demonstrably worse than the failure of any other options we've tried. Does this mean it's better/worse? Who knows.

But you simply cannot say that something is safe if <xyz>, especially when history says otherwise.

In the relative scheme of things, ThinkPads are easier to repair/upgrade than other computers, but still colossally wasteful compared to desktops and many non-computer devices. There's no way to take an old ThinkPad and add anything to the motherboard without replacing it entirely.
