> Uber on the other hand is going against a fractured market with uncoordinated incumbents

Isn't uber going against lyft, ola, didi in the short term and going against tsla, waymo long term.

Its almost trivial to start your own uber but almost impossible to start your own tesla.
So, it's fairly obvious this was written with a pro-Nucelar bent, which is disappointing for something branded with YC. Even if we ignore that when nuclear power plants DO fail, they're cataclysmic in consequences. Simply put, there are only so many 500-year-no-go-zones we can create in our environment before the problems presented by them start to scale upwards into places we don't understand.

What I think is most interesting is that very few entrepreneurs are talking about the exciting world of a more distributed grid. Distributed Grids running on renewables with backup from a larger centralized grid is a really interesting idea, and it's one where long term servicing costs will be pretty big.

It'd be a good time for folks in SV to think about swinging at the big formerly-state-subsidized behemoth power company. Because the alternative is that they make their case that they need state subsidization while still maintaining autonomy.

I don't really understand why so many folks like to think it's a clever take to say, "Actually Nuclear is quite safe." Even if that's the case, it is dependent on having a centralized power grid (which is very hard to maintain and occasionally causes wildfires), it depends on fuel mining and manufacture (also not a very safe proposition for those involved, uranium mining has similar risks to coal mining), and the proliferation of these fuels also proliferates an important component of the means by which weapons that turn a city to ash in mere moments are manufactured.

Compare this to the plunging cost of solar and wind. It just... doesn't seem very smart except for the most densely stacked industrial regions.

I'd like to see that "accident". The impact of full blown nuclear reactor meltdowns (Chernobyl, Fukushima) on human lives are tiny, even when the secondary effects of radioactive pollution are considered. The impact on the biosphere in general may even be a net positive.

Lets face it, the one and only problem if nuclear energy is that people are scared of it. And even if nothing is melting down, there's the ever present boogie man of nuclear waste... never mind the fact that you could swim in a pool of spent fuel rods and you'd get (less than) background radiation dose and never mind the fact that all of the nuclear waste humanity has ever produced would fit into a footbal stadium and never mind the fact that we can recycle a lot of the spent fuel these days.
Glyphosates are known to be unsafe so it seems like the jury got it right...
Just because something is regulated doesn’t mean it’s safe and definitely doesn’t mean it’s guaranteed. For example, US social security funds are solvent until 2035 according to our own government accounting[1].

Canada just passed a carbon tax where they take the proceeds and then distribute them to everyone. The lowest income earners are actually getting MORE back from the rebates than what they spend on the tax. So yes, it's possible to not only tax carbon, but do it in such a way that it will help lower-income people.

There is a lot in there of which I am not intimately familiar but I don't believe it does. It seems to me that contemporary claims of depravity of Howl centered around depiction of consensual homosexual acts, or drugs, or simple use of swearing, all of which are less shocking today than they were in the 50s. If you can find a specific example do tell.

If data needs to agree PKs and FKs are a way to go. I avoid UNIQUES unless absolutely necessary since they are not structural.

Reference tables for things that don't change or change very seldom are a valuable tool if data across other tables must agree. Check constraints otherwise.

But that's just the bones -- the last line of defense. Having a framework that can push such constraints through the application is very helpful so you are not waiting for SQL errors to enforce integrity.

It is easy to go overboard, though, and it is worth thinking about how important data integrity and agreement actually is before writing it in stone, so to speak.

Apple won't let you change a changelog after the binary is built and put on the store. So if you want to get a fix out, but not alert people that you're on to them, you have to put out a changelog that just says something like "Bugfixes". Then you have to build another build and submit another changelog, but Apple probably won't let you issue builds that are duplicates...

I think part of the problem is that Holmes's voice sounded artificial. To be effective, generally speaking, you would imagine the voice couldn't sound like you were trying to speak with a deep voice. (But surely studies have been done on this. Does it matter?)

But I agree with you. I've always "dressed up" in work situations, for example, because people respond more positively to me when I look sharp.

I think it witheringly stupid that people would assess my competence based on something so tangential, but if they are going to have a prejudice, why shouldn't I make it a prejudice in my favor (by dressing well instead of whatever I want to wear)?

Short men should be wearing hidden heel shoes, too. Those inches are worth a lot more money than the shoes are. Etc.

If you're gonna talk air quality and radiaton you need to use YPLL (or some other metric that considers age). Wheezing into the grave at 70 or getting cancer at 65 is very different in terms of impact than a 25yo that falls off a roof installing solar or gets run over by heavy equipment in a mine.

Of course nobody uses age adjusted metrics because you can't make grandiose "bazillions of lives lost" claims using them.
We have basically three programs to provide income to retirees:

1) Canada Pension Plan, a worker-funded defined benefit pension managed by the government via an arms-length investment board.

2) Old Age Security, a guaranteed income program for everyone 65 and older.

3) Registered Retirement Savings Plan, an income tax sheltering program where you can contribute up to 18% of your income into registered accounts and have the contributions deducted from your taxable income. This gets drawn down during retirement for income.
I appreciate this submission; it's a story that challenges a number of my views, which I think are relatively common around HN.

Broadly, I've thought that high drug prices in the US stem from a mix of our bizarre insurance system (which rewards 'ambitious' pricing) and regulation. For name-brand drugs, that's largely patent protections, but even for generics it happens via process patents, high filing-fee barriers to enter markets, and regulatory delays to start production. (See e.g. here: https://slatestarcodex.com/2019/04/30/buspirone-shortage-in-...)

I still believe those things are issues. But this story has pushed me to revise how much I think those things matter relative to outright price manipulation. And if the answer is (as I suspect) that clumsy regulation raises costs some everywhere, but gouging raises costs massively for some drugs, then the question of how to fight both problems at once is exceedingly difficult. The only way to escape these sorts of tradeoffs is usually "make better regulations", and it's not clear how we make that happen.

When I am riding a bike, I am very much thinking about physics, in order not to fall over and hurt myself. I can say that I have to think about physics regardless of whether I am thinking of it in the terms Newton did, because the physical world exists without the theoretical framework to describe it.

Mathematics on the other hand is purely theoretical. Unless I am engaging in mathematical reasoning, I'm not doing maths.

That said, when I am musicking, I am doing mathematics all the time, at least for things like basic counting, arithmetic and logic. But that's true for so much of the basic activities we do every day that saying that music has a lot to do with maths becomes a pointless truism. Similarly, I may be doing maths when I'm cooking, but no one is going to try to tell me that "cooking is maths". Cooking has little to do with maths, but maths has a lot to do with everything.

Stop shackling data-scientists: tapping into the dark side of ML/AI models
No we aren't. I compare carbon emissions to wind and solar all the time. Nuclear's on par with wind, 4x lower carbon than solar PV, 40x lower than natural gas, 80x lower than coal.

Wind has a 35% capacity factor in the US, nuclear has 90%. Solar has 25%

Wind and solar capital cost is 4x lower than nuclear right now, thanks to the fact that they're at low generation fractions and have lots of fracked gas and hydro to integrate their variability. As generation fraction goes up, their cost goes up non-linearly. Nuclear cost is terrible right now. Some people are trying to bring it down, but no great progress yet. In 10-20 years when 20 countries have 20% or more variable renewables, nuclear will probably start looking really good again for deeply decarbonizing.

And nuclear roughly as few (and probably a little bit fewer) people than wind and solar per kWh generated, all of which are orders of magnitude safer than fossil. People fall off roofs installing solar panels and wind turbines catch fire and sometimes do ice-throw.

A remarkable story. I admit I was hesitant upon starting reading that it would be a little lacking in depth, but it wasn't. It was uplifting, confusing, interesting and thoroughly recommended reading/watching.
I think when talking about nuclear accidents, there is too much a focus on the actual death rate, but not on the impact of the evacuation area.

For example, if you look at Cattenom Nuclear Power Plant location on a map and create a 80 km radius exclusion zone, Luxembourg, as a country probably ceases to exist. This is not something that could happen with a catastrophic failure of wind turbines or solar panel.

By definition, nuclear plants are near coastal areas or a river, so prone to ocean rising water (or tsunamis), floods or droughts.

This is something that is harder to evaluate than simply a death count.

I believe this is less relevant for the US, where I assume there is enough space left in sparsely populated areas, but in denser areas like in Europe or South East Asia, it seems to be a bigger factor.
The funny part, of course, is the $35k pricing only 3 months ago.

The only way likely for this to be resolved is for Amazon to 100% own the supply chain end to end, which means an Amazon owning last mile delivery company which it seems where most of these delivery issues like. I'm sure Amazon is looking how it can own this part of the chain (along with everything else), maybe someday soon...

Many people who are interested in nuclear energy see it as a replacement for forms of energy that add carbon to the atmosphere. During normal operations (discarding commissioning and decommissioning) none of the three add significant carbon.
This isn’t a nuclear industry source and they don’t include hydro either (which is also still higher than nuclear on other comparisons).

Triggers are almost always the wrong level to handle consistency. It flies in the face of 'fail fast' if you need to actually handle problems of consistency and if you need 'last line' protection, why not bake it into the structure instead?
Was it lasership? I've had packages never delivered by them. I'm assuming the courier is just stealing them since the package will say "out for delivery" multiple times that day and then never show up. They don't respond to emails or calls so anytime a package is set to come through them, I know that I'm probably not going to get it. Nobody has questioned my reports that the packages aren't getting delivered most of the time. I guess the vendor already knows how much they suck but for some reason is ok with the spillage? Maybe the cost savings for using one of these gig economy delivery services is so cheap that its still worth it after having to replace customer orders that get stolen. Maybe it's like doing business with the mob, there's just a certain amount of money you're going to have to lose due to rampant theft but the money you save by getting around the normal business costs makes it worth it.
As someone who has worked on a chip design team and had to deal with this stuff... one of the biggest reasons is patents -- software patents. They can't sue you if they can't see what you're doing. There are lots of dumb software patents out there. AMD did get hit with a couple of those, but we were able to beat them because the order of operation didn't exactly match the claims in the patent.

Pretty much nobody pays sticker price on new pickups. At any given time there's discounts of 5-10k on any given model and if there's not a hefty manufacturer discount on the particular set of options you want then you wait a month or choose a nearly identical one you can get the rebates on. The sticker prices aren't really indicative of anything. They're like the "normal prices" on products that are perpetually on sale.

Practicing while job searching has become a distraction for me, from planning out my career and my life and taking other actions that would bring actual results. Continuing to practice interviewing when I make no discernible progress would be a waste of time I would think.

The more time I spend applying to jobs and practicing, the more I see it as a red herring- a mindless diversion. After 2 years straight of doing that stuff, I'm clearly not cut out for most interviews. I have to seek alternatives to financial stability.

It's better to use my time and energy finding a solution that does work for me. It's fine, interviewing isn't for everyone. Tenacity may be a good trait to have but it doesn't pay the bills :)

Amazon has been getting people to sign up to have their homes, cars, garages etc. open to delivery people for stuff that they've ordered. I figure it's only a matter of time before they start warehousing stuff you haven't ordered there. Maybe you can just wander out to your car and browse, scan whatever looks good with your phone and take it. (Hopefully kidding but I guess you never know what people will trade for "convenience".)
Or there should simply not be background access to certain APIs, such as camera, video, and photo library.

Background audio access on iOS presents a bright red indicator on all non-app screens that can neither be hidden nor removed, as it’s baked into the OS. iOS may require a separate permission dialog for “capture video with sound” and “record sound with/out screen on”, I don’t know. I doubt Android bothers to do any of this.

When did I say I want to stop millions of people from "traveling"? First off, you can't have a country without borders. Secondly, you can have migration but in a modern world you can't just let people flow through. That's why we had Ellis Island, people could be vetted for things such as deadly diseases and possibly be vaccinated before being let into the country.
The problem with these kind of statistics is that mere numbers mean very little, because the sources of the deaths are very different. Do you count roof work? Do you count mining? Do you count the creation of construction materials and their mining? How do you count cancer from slightly increased nuclear radiation? Especially when it's hard to prove whether it really comes from nuclear waste, but it certainly could be? And are birth defects deaths? Are miscarriages?

These are things that need to be addressed for these kind of statistics, or you end up comparing apples to oranges.

Still, I think everybody can agree that the death rates for coal and oil are insane. However you compare nuclear vs solar, coal and oil need to go.

They are a bad example of what, exactly?

Almost all cars have differences between sticker price compared to what you can negotiate as the purchase price. In some cases, you'll pay more than MSRP because of limited inventory and popularity. In other cases, you can easily pay less.
It's profitable.
Apple also increases their prices regularly. And Apple customers don't mind paying a little more because they believe they are getting a premium product. Tesla has built a similarly premium brand and could similarly increase prices without consumer backlash, if not for the famous $35k Model 3 pitch.

It's hard to make a call about when to evacuate in the midst of an accident. I tend to think short-term evacuation in things like Fukushima makes lots of sense. But then let people move back based on science of low-dose radiation. There's a lot of misinformation about radiation and public information. If you say something like: "The dose rate you will get if you stay is thought to take about 10 days off your life, vs. 4000 days if you drink too much booze" people may not evacuate as much.

You could even say: "Fear of radiation is more dangerous than radiation itself"

Totally this - I've often seen it stated that all the spent nuclear fuel in the world could fit in a lorry. Great - whoop.

But that ignores the huge amount of other radioactive wastes that are generated each day, and have no 'useful' future ahead of them right now - other than landfill in a 'secure' site.

Totally agree that we need to stop polluting our air and needlessly killing 4 million people a year with emissions - but we really need a realistic plan if we are going to go the nuclear route.
