Nuclear likes to produce a slow, steady, constant output. If there aren't good on demand fill sources the alternative (point 5) either involves batteries (or another reservoir of some-kind, EG reverse pump hydro; which BTW exists near some river dams) OR a variable consumer. A consumer that doesn't mind getting suddenly cut without warning. This might be an electrolysis process for separating water in to hydrogen and oxygen for industrial applications / chemical fuel production, or it could be some other similar process that might benefit from a stable run cycle but isn't catastrophically affected by loss of power.
Gallium nitride technology is used for the higher frequencies in 5G chips. Currently only suppliers outside of China produce such chips.

From a business perspective, pushing 5G as fast as it is pushed now by China, does not make sense. Chinese network operators would not want to deploy 5G quite as fast as they are being forced to, but China’s government is imposing it.

So why impose it? There might be several reasons, e.g. to have a dominant position in setting industry standards, but one reason stands out: The complex 5G standard requires frequent software that make it harder to enforce security software reviews and anti-espionage measures.

No.
Seems like a false dichotomy you can both run white supremacists into private circles and provide a counter-narrative that’s readily available. See Islamist radicalisation for example.

The other issue with the concept of winning a war of ideas is that the other side isn’t usually available in the venues espousing white supremacy. They are already private circles in that sense with moderation. So we’re in the situation of hoping the people being actively radicalised by them happen on other side of the argument and haven’t already been poisoned to it. Which seems like wishful thinking.

I was wrong about the name. It's "the angry orange website". https://twitter.com/search?q="angry%20orange%20website" - that's just a sample of HN's 'haters'. HN has its share of people who are awful and post horrible opinions (see the discussion about any article on JavaScript, health care, wealth, etc). I believe HN has some value left which is why I still post here, but I can absolutely see why people have abandoned it, and I certainly don't talk about HN with people in real life.
So, you set up Nextcloud in snap a [0] on some home computer or server and then leave it like that... or, if you must, point Dropbox to the the same folder on said pc/server (remember to use Ext4 people, ugh) and group clients like that. But at this point, I'd be looking for alternatives.

I've got mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, I hate the added administration of overly detailed time-keeping, on the other hand, it's often too easy to employers to pressure employees to work for more hours than they're actually paid.

The gripping hand, though, is that many employers aren't interested in hours, but in results. If they just pay you for certain results, and getting those results takes too much time, is it because the employer is too demanding? Or is it an employee who is slow to do that kind of work, but still prefer it over other kinds of work? It might also lead employers to pressure employees to work faster within the hours they're supposed to work, and fire those who can't keep up. I don't think it's going to solve the problem of overly demanding employers, though it probably helps in some cases.

I'm weirdly fine with this. I've noticed over the years that I'm using dropbox less and less as competitors have sliced up the file-syncing and sharing problem in different ways. For example, one of the things I used to use DB for was to make sure documents or other media were available on all my devices. Now I just host them with an ebook server or plex or whatever. Lots of my office document needs are covered with Google drive or Office 365.

My work uses OneDrive extensively and it integrates really well across devices and the web for on-line editing. Dropbox never really had a better use-case than syncing and missed the boat on using the easy u/l mechanism for various kinds of sharing/social activities. I'm more or less considering moving to OneDrive for home use as well even if the sync isn't quite as good because it works better than DB across almost all other parameters.

Also nobody here's mentioned Amazon Drive which I find interesting.

bootstrap a startup is an art. no decision is final, many of your decisions would become invalid in days.

if the product is for general public then
1) can be started as a side project
2) Friends and family may use first
3) Experiment the idea with 1000 lines or less code.
4) Don't prefect the idea, let it evolve
5) Don't go for startup events, mentors, investment etc
6) No co-founders until you get n number of users
7) Where can you get early users ?
8) do you use the product yourself ?
9) simplicity of the product is the key
10) no one is waiting, no one is caring your idea until it gets some traction. the list goes on..

many ideas i stopped in the middle, because myself not interested to continue. because ideas seems to good in one time, later it is boring to do.

> It should not be surprising that given a correct assembly the bacteria reproduced - by design the experiment only replaced codons with a different equivalent codon.

I am surprised. I was under the impression that while two codons may code for an equivalent protein, bacteria do play shenanigans with DNA, like re-reading the same genome multiple times with shifted read frame. I don't think codon equivalence is preserved when you shift the read frame by 1 or 2. Moreover, a DNA molecule with changed codons is slightly different chemically at that place - which means a protein that might have previously attached there for some reason now might not.
Wow, that’s a great explanation, and I hadn’t even thought of it that way, myself.

My take was a much simpler “just because there is a better way that exists doesn’t make it practically relevant, because entrenched tradition is usually more popular/widespread than efficiency”... but your boiling the frog idea shows even better how the mess comes about in the first place.
How is it insane when this is the historic reason behind large families?
Dutch prisons are currently leasing space to Belgium because of low occupancy rates. This low occupancy is the result of various policies to cut costs. Prisons are not cheap so cutting sentences a bit and using alternative punishments for lighter offenses helps keep cost down. People still get caught doing stuff they are not supposed to. Locking them up is one of the punishments and it's used if needed. But it is used in moderation. Occasionally this is unpopular when high profile criminals end up back on the streets a bit sooner than people would like. Particularly when it involves e.g. sex offenders. But mostly this works out fine. This has not resulted in a massive crime wave and most people in prison are neither sex offenders nor psychopathic murderers.

The US is a great example of how prisons don't help prevent crime. It has the largest prison population per capita in the world and crime and murder rates to sustain that (i.e. notably much higher than other countries and also much more violent). Locking up people in the US apparently does not seem to lower crime rates. If anything, prisons actually help perpetuate this problem. The people who come out of them are likely to end up coming back. That's why it is important to keep young offenders out of prisons. Locking them up all but guarantees they come back for more. Locking them up for really minor offenses is simply counter productive and just locks them into a life of crime.

Part of the problem in the US is of course that prisons are big business. Big as in trading on Wall Street. E.g. CoreCivic is worth about 2.5B $: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/CXW/

I used to regard movies from the eighties like Robocop as pure satire but you have to admit that this company, it's name, and it's sameless corporatism and hollow marketing makes it look like OCP quite a bit. Straight from their website: "CoreCivic's effective, high-quality reentry programs are at the center of our mission to reduce recidivism and help better the public good.". Yeah, right. Comes with a photo of a friendly smiling prisoner (black, naturally).

For Racket specific macro tooling syntax-parse [0] in combination with syntax classes is usually the suggested starting point. Hygenic with pattern matching and a bunch of other features for parsing s-expression grammars. As mentioned down-thread Greg Hendershott's Fear of Macros [1] is a good starting point for a number of folks. The curriculum for Racket School 2018 [2] also has exercises that help introduce the syntax-parse tooling.

It's a common theme here on HN when it comes to worker's rights and unions. Being a one-percenter where companies bend over backwards to cater to you, it's easy to dismiss these things.
It can be but in this context i would say it's referring to animal tissue.
Yes, I did not mean my comment as anything more than "it is a tool; sometimes it's a good tool; learn to use it". Or as saying that while "maximize white space" is not a good advice, saying one should completely ignore it is also not such a good idea.

Other than that, I never suggested any precise relation such as 2x important -> 2x space.

Wow. Where was this?! I'm accustomed to clueless pet owners but that's just ridiculous. Cycling regularly, I recall ~4 run-ins over as many years (compared to none in urban or suburban areas ever).

I suppose I'd graduate to rubber bullets or even bird shot if it was that bad, but at some point it's really up to the authorities to ensure some minimal level of public safety. What is animal control even for if they don't fix things like this? It sounds like you were located in a terribly run county.

I have the same experience. The hardware is nice for the price but it's loaded with crappy apps.

Some of them are badly translated, updates to a simple calender app suddenly requires ridiculous permissions.

And worst of all, enabling USB debugging test apps through Android Studio requires a Mi Account. Maybe I'm paranoid but I can't think of a reason other than corporate espionage.
There are issues, but it is still more convenient than it was before Netflix and Spotify. In fact, I don’t use Spotify, I use Apple Music (as I travel a lot and live in two countries, and they are less picky about that) — the same music is still available there.
Having worked in Silicon Valley with some really really smart people. I wonder how many people think they are genius because their circle is limited?

When you work in the valley for any period of time you think you might have a shot, and you might. If you get a chance to meet one of the founders of a well known valley company and have a conversation the realization that luck had nothing to do with their success should happen. Its truly humbling to meet a genius and get a glimpse of how their brain works.

You can't draw conclusions from one case. Treatment could have helped him, but he was a menace in that state and shouldn't be released. So you can use this one case to argue either way. I'd sure not want him released. Most people aren't like this.
Say what??? A neural tube doesn't instantly transform into a baby at the moment of birth.

The unborn that are getting killed can typically move about, feel pain, and respond to injury. They react in agony when being torn apart or injected with brine.

They have brainwaves, which is the usual standard (varies by state law) we use to draw the line at the end of life, with the loss of brainwaves meaning death. Obviously we don't need to check dusty old bones or a person chatting with the doctor, but we do check in the difficult cases.

Consistency demands that our standard for one end of a lifetime be as similar as possible to our standard for the other end of a lifetime. That standard for death, subject to minor variations in state law, is brainwaves.

Conveniently, such a standard eliminates the rape excuse. There is plenty of time prior to brainwaves.
We all have holes in our knowledge.

We all, generally, specialize. I have never worked with 'big data', implemented any part of a commercial web site, or worked on HPC(just to give a few examples). What may be useful to one may be useless to another.

Definitely think about Software Engineering. Maintainability, debuggability, extensibility. Don't get lost in stupid details. Don't nitpick the coding style or try to optimize code that isn't currently meeting the requirements(if there are requirements, and if there aren't you should try to define them).
I suspect we are at least partially still in that era.
On the one hand OneDrive's client was awful years ago, haven't tried the current codebase.

On the other hand Dropbox has caused me major problems as recently as a couple weeks ago, and manages to keep bogging down explorer itself, which is a much worse sin than slow initial sync.

IMO the biggest problem with American penal system is how crazy the punishments are for non-violent crimes. Get caught smoking crack a few times? You might be in prison for many years.

Another issue is how the government + private industry is allowed to punish you for life even though you've supposedly "done your time". Employers can and regularly do discriminate even for things that would have no affect on job performance. Oh also housing and loans. You're basically pushed to the fringes of society unless you manage to make it big with your own business.

Oh and if you commit a drug crime you're cut off from school financial aid for life. And if you have any felony the army probably won't even take you. Have fun trying to turn your life around when your own government slams the door.

I'm okay with long prison sentences for really nasty stuff like murder. Not such a big deal if an ex-con steals some shit again, pretty bad if he goes back to killing people.
You don't know either if he was a menace or not.

People change, believe it or not.
"It should not be surprising that given a correct assembly the bacteria reproduced - by design the experiment only replaced codons with a different equivalent codon"

Codons are never really equivalent because of differences in tRNA abundances. So replacing a codon with another that codes for same amino acid can disrupt the rate of translation, and downstream processes like protein folding.
Ah, so you're likely using the annual rate. Parent was using lifetime risk.
Don't compete on the price then. Compete on something else, like the working conditions.

The author describes how they had to drive 50 miles every day, use the corporate laptop (or install shady software on their own one), not get a response for many days. Basically, their rate (and the total cost) covers not just the work they do, but all the frustration that comes with the work.

Now, if you treat your staff better than that — remove all the hurdles, answer their emails promptly etc. ­— then there will be many talented people who'd prefer it over a meaningless-but-highly-paid alternative.
It's actually more liberal than that. You are allowed to work on Sunday, but it's more expensive for your employer as they need to compensate the discomfort. Double pay and triple pay are not uncommon (although taxes will eat most of that). In the end, your employer probably will not let you work Sundays if it isn't worth it (to them).
That's a really interesting effect! Thank you for making me aware of it! However it should be noted that the reason it backfired, was because people exploited a weakness in the system, so to speak. It could even be that they did something illegal and fraudulent, since the bounties were obviously for animals that weren't bred in captivity, and for wild animals that were properly killed so they wouldn't be able to procreate. Thus the question remains on whether the measures had effective ways of dealing with such fraud, or whether that would make the whole thing more expensive than other measures.
I think this (cost) is the biggest "roadblock" most people see when thinking about a plant-based diet. I currently live in Asia, but travel back and forth between Europe every few months.

One of the ways I solved this is by being comfortable to have meals that consist of nothing but raw food. So, raw nuts, raw vegetables and fruit, and legumes whenever I desire. But I also try to look at it realistically. For example, a tub of Kale Powder (120g) will set me back around 20USD. But, how likely am I to consume that tub in one day? In fact, it will last me for up to 4 weeks. The same goes for 350 grams of Hemp Protein. It's 20USD but I'm going to be having that over a period of at least 2 weeks.

One difference between Asia and Europe is that in Asia I can get a much bigger variety of fruit, which is generally my go-to food besides everything else. But even then, I never leave the supermarket having spent more than 30USD for 4-5 days worth of food.

If I had to be specific, for the entirety of a whole month I'll be spending about 250-300USD on food. I'm honestly not familiar with other diets and not sure how much they can run up over a month. What I do know is that I never have any leftovers. Everything gets consumed one way or another.

Most of the people defending PHP are talking about PHP7+, and most of the people hating PHP are talking about PHP5-.

Both groups didn't experience what the other group did and they are not talking about the same thing. So it is kind of pointless discussion.

The language itself has improved a lot. It is easy to find decent PHP7+ code now. It is also easy to find bad code.

And that is the same for all major programming languages in terms of usage. As Java got more popular, it was easier to find crappy code everywhere from people that only learned inheritance from OOP. More projects mean more technical debt for the future. So you always find more critics against most popular ones.
