Thank you for that quote. I was going to try and write something along those lines, but that seems like a better summary. Anti-nuclear energy simply wasn't part of the narrative. It only seems like that because the events of Chernobyl really happened.

They pointed out a few times that the only reason the Chernobyl catastrophe happened was because of all the corners that were cut and the lies that were told. Other nations with Nuclear programs weren't likely to have the same problem because they were more open.

I'm skeptical of NordVPN too - but can you say a little about why you signed up just to make these comments? ProtonMail is suspect as well. I would like to see independent analysis of their mobile and desktop clients - at least we can verify that they aren't doing anything besides data-mining/not deleting logs.

The problem with running your own VPN is that paying for a VPS is not typically more private than paying for a VPN. And the functionality that NordVPN et al provides would take a lot of effort to reproduce manually. You'd have to have a VPS with lots of locations and launch your VPN OS image in the location you want - which would take extra time & effort each time.
I've found them useful for settings the filetype when you don't have the mime-suffix or other easy method to identify it. But that's about it.
When I was a kid, I roved around with my friends, but not really ever in places where adults were able to observe me. So there might be some selection bias at play here.
Honestly, its hard to boil "we found nothing of statistic significance" down to laymens terms and still sound like you made a major breakthrough.

> Erm, if you're saying that the reader thread will be highly utilized... that's not likely the case if the writer thread in this "lock free" implementation stalls out.

That does not mean that the reader thread has nothing to do. e.g. the most common case is that your reader thread will produce an output, and your writer thread sends messages to change how this output is generated - but even if there's no message, the reader thread has to keep going at a steady rate.
If data snapshots exist for IMDb data (that do not involve scraping the website/archives of the website), I'm open to that.
But we don't want the data and code to be the same, we want the data to be less dynamic than the code. You can't find out what the UI of a Lisp program would be without executing the program. It has everything available all the time, which is bad and turns you into a Lisp weenie.

SwiftUI is using new Swift features sort of similar to Haskell's "do" notation, which isn't actually itself monads.

It's good when not every title is completely obvious. It makes readers work a little and gets the brain out of internet reflex mode.

Curious why? Investment in new & emerging technologies or markets is always high-risk: I've had years when my Emerging Markets index fund lost half its value, and I know friends that basically lost everything in the dot-com bubble. Hell, the S&P 500 lost 40% of its value in 2008.

I would hope that nobody is putting money into crypto that they need to live on. But for money that you aren't going to need for years, there's a good chance that some form of cryptocurrency will end up replacing much of the current financial system, and it makes sense to diversify bets across them.

This is a well known problem - thus the "securemodelines" plugin: https://github.com/ciaranm/securemodelines
That's only true in the case where the underlying cyptocurrency is actually accepted outside the platform. In theory, if your app is transacting money, it keeps the equivalent cash in an insured bank account which is exactly how PayPal and similar work. If it's not widely accepted, it's basically the same as in-game tokens/currency. Speaking of in-game tokens, people have used them for the same purpose of cryptocurrency e.g. capital flight and money laundering.

I wouldn't say my take-away was that it was intended to be anti-nuclear, but with the need to move more towards nuclear now more than ever it felt poorly placed. That context makes sense though.
It's definitely better to have a strong LOR from a PI, even moreso from a PI at the school to which you're applying. "No great LORs but self-publishing" can be shortened to "no great LORs."

Why do you see these things as mutually exclusive? You could self-publish and use it as an "in" to working for a PI over the summer. If you do well and the PI likes you, they likely have a lot of sway with admissions and can help you get into whatever grad program they work with.

Disclaimer: Never applied/went to grad school but know many people who did... I've seen the strategy I described work at a high tier school.

Talking about HBO historical tv shows on the soviet union, one of their best production was Stalin (1992), with Robert Duvall impressive in Stalin. They did a series on historical figures in the 1990s. The one on the judge Falcone was also pretty good.
Hah, last time I interviewed for a remote job in an American startup with unlimited PTO, I said: you know, I'm from Europe, here we don't have unlimited PTO, but 5 or 6 weeks of vacation are common - so I don't really want unlimited and would be happy with just 5 weeks. Are you OK with that? That was met with a bit of an uncomfortable silence, and then they said that the standard is that everybody takes 2 weeks of vacation once a year plus maybe an occasional day off a couple times a year. Which was exactly what I suspected.

In the previous US startup I worked for, which also had an "unlimited PTO", I checked the company calendar and it was standard to take at most 2-3 weeks of vacation per year. Seeing what I saw, I now consider the unlimited PTO a red flag, as in - somebody is looking for suckers.

In term of pure drag, you're right, you want to reduce the surface and that's not what this design does.

However, for aerodynamic efficiency it is the lift/drag ratio that matters.
And while in a normal airliner the body provides very minimal lift, here it's basically a wing and thus generates a lot of lift.

The end result is that while the drag is probably worse, lift is likely improved enough to compensate.

(Also, drag might not be that bad given you do not have a tail, which is pretty awful aerodynamically speaking)

WARNING advertising SWE insider

I don't like how the opening line of article exploits the fact the average person does not know cost of average online ad to make it appear like tracking has basically no value.

>... data about you was transmitted to dozens or even hundreds of companies, all so that the website could earn an additional $0.00008 per ad.

For the reader to be able to accurately understand how much money this is they need to know the percentages.

Very roughly (this varies widely based on the country and websitem) the average online ad only costs ~$0.0005, so that insignificant $0.00008 is around 10-20%. If the article had presented the exact same information but instead framed it in the form of revenue available to pay employees at an online company dependent on advertising, this would sound very different while really conveying the same concept.

Edit: I read the linked study and the data they used had an average cost per add of $0.001 putting the difference around 4%. This is smaller than I would have predicted. I would still rather they have lead with this number.
I don't think people think it's a good idea, it's just that:
1. CockroachDB isn't nearly a prolific as Elastic/Redis/Mongo

Don’t non-EU students have to pay tuition fees? If not, they certainly should.

No I don’t think an expensive university education is a “right” that these young people should be given for a chance in life.

There are copious cheap public options for someone who is looking to build a marketable skill, and I think those options are already highly subsidized.

But more to the point, I don’t think hosting 350k Chinese foreign students in US universities where 90% of them will return to China to compete against American companies and American jobs is something that the US should be doing on principle.

in AWS it's also possible to have a highly available IP, but it's way harder to do so.

Trailing whitespace gets lost easily in editors. Mail clients not designed around HTML mail often track lines rather than paragraphs, and don't distinguish "hard wraps" and "soft wraps". The concept of "format=flowed" itself can get mangled if someone with a mail client that doesn't support it replies. And yes, people do send things like ASCII art or underlined text or code or other things where whitespace and wrapping matters.
First class seats take up way more space than 50% more. Look at the seat maps on something like SeatGuru. On width alone they take up over twice the space, and I'd guess depth would be far more.

In fact I must say that seeing how wreckless the operators had to be to make this reactor fail despite the fact that it was an early, soviet design with many design flaws, if anything, makes me believe more in the stability of these reactors if handled properly.
What if we place lift-fans in these undesirable areas? One in the center of the V and two out in the wings. Basically, instead of banking the aerodynamic savings we spend it on hauling dead-weight associated with VTOL operation. That could kind of make sense.

We could have a small handful of new great games from valve and an unknown number of crappy ones, or we could have steam.

Steam provides more value to me on an order of magnitude that makes the article laughable. Steam is like netflix before licensing fractured their content between 20 different streaming services. It's not perfect but I'm not crying over the loss of a few more valve games. Better to burn out than fade away anyway.
This isn't really the point, but nurses are regulated by HIPAA. Everyone who touches patient data is personally liable for the safety of that data and may face civil and/or criminal penalties if a breach occurs.
I disagree. Services are worth far more than software. That's what cloud/SaaS is all about. AWS is rising to meet the demand by customers paying lots of money to have their problems solved, not worry about software licenses and operations.

I trust the creator to run a hosted service better than a generic cloud provider, but most don't which is a failure of their own making. A few companies like Redis Labs and MongoDB have figured this out but most are still stuck writing code when customers are asking for managed services. I don't know why they don't adapt.

An obvious solution is to use the cost of taking the carbon back out of the atmosphere. You make a mess, you pay the cost of cleaning it up.

Supposedly, Carbon Engineering is on track to do that for $100/ton CO2.[1] One gallon of gasoline produces 20 lbs of CO2.[2] So 100 gallons makes a ton of CO2 and $100/ton would add $1/gallon to the price of gasoline, not counting a little extra for the energy expended by refineries and so on, and the cost of sequestration.

Climeworks is also targeting $100/ton, and Global Thermostat thinks it can do half that at scale, while the CarbFix project has demonstrated permanent sequestration in basalt formations for $30/ton. [3]

That, and besides, the number of deaths related to Chernobyl (or even the magnitude) is highly controversial. But even the "official" Soviet number of direct, short-term fatalities is not 2, but 31. And I would take that number with a big grain of salt, for the very same reasons depicted in the series.

I hate this kind of headlines. There's very little chance that civilization will "end" by 2050: the two world wars barely made any dent on "human civilization".

This kind of rhetoric only sets up an impossible bar and serves to invite the anti-rhetoric that is "Of course it will be fine, because humanity will not end!"
I hope more people see your comment. It is top notch.
Really? I thought the last episodes were some of the strongest. They had to highlight the end of the war and the reasons for fighting it.

One of the underlying points of the series was that all of them are core characters. Looking for protagonists in war is glorifying it.

Not sure this refutes anything, since the episode doesn't show anyone immediately dying from radiation sickness. They all died in the weeks following the explosion. Wikipedia has a list [1].

Indeed, I always thought that for any company the idea is 5% of the success, everything else is the execution. If a company can use a perfectly working design and just run it (as in PowerPlant as a Service) then that's where the value is, both for them in financial terms and for the society in advancement terms. Commoditize the design of the core reactor and innovate on its different uses and the whole supply chain.

Decent advancements. Dell EMC cloud has done this a year ago.
But it’s not anything like exporting a consumable product.

It’s exporting expertise which is used to outcompete the US and eliminates US jobs and challenges profitability of US companies.

It’s obviously not without benefits in terms of establishing clout of US universities (and maybe even keeping many of those programs running) and for the people that do stay those are bright and productive immigrants which are going to go on to create value and jobs in the US economy.

The problem is when almost all of the students aren’t remaining to work in the US and the ones that do, you worry if they aren’t involved in some form of espionage for the Motherland.
I like the series, but it is somewhat dramatized and technically incorrect in places; some people may understand the focus on drama as a statement against nuclear energy, which would be regrettable. I think the show says close to nothing new about the technology and its risks, the bad effects of radioactivity and bad design of RBMK are well known to people who study nuclear physics and medicine. The accident was terrible, but in terms of lives nothing like a big tsunami or largest chemical disasters. But it shows how bad our governments are; the show rightly exposes how the totalitarian political system was instrumental in the disaster and botched reaction to it: and things such as "state can admit no error or wrongdoing", "appearance of state success is more important than people lives" and "vital technological information should be classified as top secret even if it can save lives", all sound too familiar even today.

I was listening to an interview of Shane Dorian, a well-known big wave surfer from Hawaii. He was remarking on how, when he was growing, when there was a shark attack the locals would go on a shark hunt, killing numerous sharks. Around the nineties sentiments around these hunts changed, and that combined with the depleting of fisheries, shark attacks in Hawaii have risen dramatically. I think it's time we brought back these hunts in the name of protecting otters. I am obviously not just saying this as a biased surfer...
