Yes it would literally be better for the climate, as I said. If you don't want to depend on another country for your energy needs, how about you use the abundant resources of wind and solar? They have the benefit of not destroying the livelihood of future generations.

Right now about 100k jobs in the wind energy sector in Germany are in immediate danger because the government essentially stopped all new construction. Already 80k jobs in the solar industry are lost to China. So please don't tell me about the 20k jobs in coal (or 60k or whatever if you count secondary industries).
I'd say we are having a pretty good response. The website itself will not sort the ageism out. Companies first need to realise how important is to have a diversity staff not only because they are being forced to diversify but, as McKinsey and other researchers found out, diversity makes organisations "more effective, more successful, more profitable."
Oh, I see. I was just wondering about what the point was tbh.

"Harmed by dehydration" sounded like a useful metric to have internally but if you're getting at the public perception I'd have to clearly agree. Just saw it as more of a lack in good reporting as opposed to actually tracking how people get injured in the first placed.
Shouldn't that domain name go to Greece?
If those thousands of jobs have big negative externalities then the answer is “yes”. Mining of lignite has very big negative externalities.

What do you mean by limited power? The recent modifications to StGb 113 and 114 are _very_ open in what they describe as an attack on a police officer, which gets you a minimum sentence of 3 years..

Edit: My apologies, my memory was vastly wrong. The minimum sentence is six months, not 3 years.
Classified.

But the story of nuclear war is a bit more complicated than that. Sadly, city destruction doesn't usually fall into core considerations of win/loss.
When Developers Disagree
But my 5” touchscreen monitor can...
I totally agree. A massive push for nuclear thirty years ago would have been great. Unfortunately it is now too late for this. Nuclear power plants take too long to build, especially in the current political climate in Germany. We also don't have enough nuclear engineers to staff them. Training them also takes years. Nuclear is also more expensive than renewables at this point.
That's a remarkable story. Wiki says there's a 2004 documentary about it called The Perfect War. Unfortunately the relevant reference (6) is dead, and I can't find even a mention of this documentary outside the wiki article. I'd love to see it.
We also struggle with hiring and not "lowering the bar", but I've come to exactly the opposite conclusion about their being a shortage. We're simply not offering enough. We've said yes to a few, and they've mostly responded with variations of "better offer elsewhere".

Likewise, most of the offers I get from recruiters are absolutely terrible. 50+% are not a geographic match (and these come from LinkedIn, which knows this preference!), and many fail to specify one or all of: a. what company? b. where, or remote? c. what does the job entail? d. what is the compensation? But plenty of ramblings about "hyper growth unicorn startups".

Like the guy you're responding to gets at, I get matched by recruiters based on tools in my stack, not based on what, perhaps, I might want to learn. And I spend 2x on CoL and get 1/2 as much.
In a real shooting war they are very vulnerable high value targets which exist more for the egos of the upper ranks than for usefulness in combat. They work to intimidate adversaries and defeat much less capable opponents, but are too easily destroyed when coming up against a competent military.
> We need a massive buildout of wind and solar

and nuclear.
Coal industry has more deaths and injuries then nuclear energy industry.

Though I agree that I would not feel safe with a nuclear plant near my home so I understand why it causes fear in people.
As a Greek, I'd say we don't particularly feel a need to have every mythological name. It seems to me that the people currently living in the region with that name deserve and could use it more.
It's an oblique reference to the royal culture of the time, which was indeed pretty cult-like, but also - I believe he is referring to Elizabeth II's coronation as it was a fairly significant socio-political event in the Western world when it happened - the crux of the British Empire, one might say, and by referencing it, Joel made a pretty wry statement about the world powers ..
"wince"
Somewhat tangential, but how many internet users(except us old-timers) really make use of domain names in their use/workflow these days?

I wonder if there's some research on this. I'd assume that most of the internet population have their smartphones/app ecosystems for getting to Amazon or even looking up hypothetical Brazilian tourist info through Google.

I understand why both sides want the TLD but I'm not sure what significant usefulness it has other than property rights regarding domain names and the future of how these cases will be settled.
UX/RT: Linux-compatible microkernel-based OS for workstations and embedded
The point here is the kind of benefits and how companies are advertising their roles more focused on the youngest professionals and forgetting the more experienced ones. ie pets and cool offices with video-games. That’s definitely not attractive for “older” professionals.
I should assume you never travel by airplane since there have been some disasters?

Truth is that nuclear energy is the safest form of energy.
Hell is here and now.
I think this is a very good point and is definitely part of the reason why we have apparent ageism. This aspect is also compounded by the fact that technologies and paradigms are changing so fast - yes I know software re-invents the wheel a lot, but the fact that you were coding GUIs in the 90s, before some of today's 20-something developers were even born, really doesn't make you that much better of a React.js developer.

I'm not saying the kind of ageism thats being discussed here doesn't exist - the "brogrammer", "culture fit" kind of discrimination. But I think its probably blown out of proportion. Especially for non-bay area companies, it seems like whenever somebody talks about "tech companies" they are referring to a very specific kind of tech company that is really only a relatively small portion of the industry.

WeRobotics Launches $235,000 Challenge to Solve Social Issues Through Drone Data
That’s exactly the point, apart from what you have chosen (keep coding and work in tech), you don’t have the option to choose as the companies have been recruiting only youngest professionals and all environment is focused on the youngest people. There is space for everyone and it’s a fact that diverse teams are more effective than others.
I'm in my 40s and I'd listen to a 20-something CEO no problem, _provided that she's not full of shit_. Trouble is, I've seen so much over the past 25 years that I can smell BS from five miles away, so if there's any pulling of wool going on, I'm gonna notice it, and I'm not going to like it. Be honest and genuine, be a leader, be good at what you do, and I don't care if you're 20-something or 90-something.

Mining hasn't benefited Australia economically? what are they teaching over there?
There are a few things that are strange about this. Number 1 - it was weapons systems they attacked, so I'm going to assume you reach those through microwave somehow. If thats the case, simply storing your weapons in a faraday cage until you are ready to use them is a pretty effective countermeasure?

Secondly, why would you publicise you engaged in a bit of cyber warfare - particularly successful cyber warfare. This literally notifies the enemy to upgrade/fix/patch/take counter measures, solidifies their defenses, and provides a clear aggressor.

I think you're the one that should read up on the actual deaths or disfigurements or whatever that those accidents resulted in, rather than the media reports which scream bloody murder.

> there were no deaths caused by acute radiation syndrome [...] studies by the World Health Organisation and Tokyo University have shown that no discernible increase in the rate of cancer deaths is expected

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_Daiichi_nuclear_disa...

Also, the world has changed since 1986. As an example (it seems that almost nobody knows this), the number of people living in extreme poverty has quartered since then, despite the population growth from 5 billion to nearly 8 billion people. Russia changed less, as far as I can tell this is due to the fall of the USSR. Still, an accident from thirty years ago in a poor country is almost incomparable to today. There was no common Internet back then, knowledge had to come through books (or possibly TV) and learning something that helps you do your job was not as easy as it is today. Still, even with Chernobyl:

> The Chernobyl disaster, considered the worst nuclear disaster in history [...] there is rough agreement that a total of either 31 or 54 people died from blast trauma or acute radiation syndrome [...] deaths due to the disaster's long-term health effects, with long-term death estimates ranging from 4,000 (per the 2005 and 2006 conclusions of a joint consortium of the United Nations and the governments of Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia), to more than 93,000 (per the conflicting conclusions of various scientific, health, environmental, and survivors' organizations).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaths_due_to_the_Chernobyl_di...

That's pretty awful, but nothing like burning fossil fuels:

> the greatest energy fatalities that result from energy generation by humanity, is the creation of air pollution. The most lethal of which, particulate matter, which is primarily generated from the burning of fossil fuels and biomass is (counting outdoor air pollution effects only) estimated to cause 2.1 million deaths annually

That page also lists 10 000 deaths per petaWatt-hour in the USA in 2012 and 100 000 deaths globally (the same table lists much, much fewer casualties for solar, wind, and nuclear per PWh). If the worst disaster ever has casualties ranging from 4k to 93k, then what are we talking about? Shut coal down now!

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_accidents

And Chernobyl was the worst accident ever, it is not common. If nuclear power was so likely to blow up with these results, not a nation on earth would risk this, yet France (I think we all agree this is not some poor third world country desperate for energy and unable to build solar or wind) is littered with reactors (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_France), 58 in total. The number of accidents listed is 12, starting in 1969, ranging from "75kg of slightly radioactive material was leaked, fishing and drinking the river water was banned for two weeks" to "one person killed in a blast from a metal melting accident that the nuclear plant uses" (i.e. not a nuclear accident).

You giving an example all the way back to 1951 makes it sound like it is indeed almost always as absurd as it sounds...
Because everything takes non zero time. If a state transition from turned off to booted takes no time then doesn't that mean there is no state transition at all? The only way for it to take zero time for a computer to boot is if it is already booted or there is no difference between an unbooted computer and a booted one.

How much time does it take for a circle to become round? None at all. It happened instantly.

The Takeover of Corporate Venture Capital

Not that bashing Chrome or Googme bothers me, I made my own attempt at that recently, but no need to discuss the same article twice?
Germany didn't. Actually, Germany plans to stop using coal, though later than many Germans would like.

The problem is (a) that there is an entrenched and politically important coal industry, and just shutting all of it down is political suicide, because quite a few voters are involved into that; (b) the industry itself also doesn't like to see its investments into existing power plants thrown out the window; it was difficult enough to get this through for nuclear plants; and (c) alternative energies aren't there yet, despite massive investments.

And no, the simple-minded "let's just use nuclear for everything, it's the saviour of all our problems" approach won't work either, as has been discussed often enough.
Probably because no one turns anything off anymore so the selection pressure is gone.
UKW?
Because people like women more than men.
Did you ever speak to policemen not as a citizen but as a friend? Maybe you would understand that’s a shitty job (because it has to deal mostly with shitty situations) always frowned upon and not even well paid. Why does anyone have to risk anything while going to work? We are not talking about firefighters here dealing with natural disasters. We are talking about people who are regularly laughed at, insulted, sometimes hit, etc. Everyone knows how fragile the German police is today.
A brilliant song? Not really, its pretty musically trite all things considered.

A brilliant bit of hubristic agit-prop? For sure. Fully entrenches the cultural righteousness that enslaves us all at the moment.

The danger is in believing the perspective it espouses.
That's the problem with nuclear, it needed to have started 30 years ago.

Why don't we build the generators that can be built in a reasonable time frame, where there's the actual political will to build them. If and when there is political will for nuclear, we can see where we are, because I would guess by that point wind and solar turn out to be good enough anyway.
It’s genuinely horrifying to see examples of this sort of thought emerging again into the public sphere in the West.

Some mines require a lot of subsidies. These can be direct or indirect.

https://www.australianmining.com.au/news/mining-subsidies-ov...

> The Productivity Commission figures from earlier this month showed the mining industry got direct subsidies of $492 million last year.

> But senior economist at the left-leaning think tank Australia Institute Matt Grudnoff said total subsidy is almost ten times that amount when tax concessions given to mining companies are included.

> “The mining industry has the lowest rate of corporate tax because it has so many tax concessions,” he said.
Yes agreed. Initial idea was to include all jobs on the homepage, but we'd like to build the website as simple as possible to validate the idea and see if it is really a problem in the industry. I'm sure the website will change over time
I still remember the day I got a new TV (despite old CRT working) for my parents and see their faces the first time time we turned it on. Now they are used but at the beggining the boot time was difficult to grasp: it used to be negligible with the obsolete tech..

How to Do Code Reviews

They can only reach that speed during boost (3-5 mins) and reentry (2 mins). The remainder of the time (25 mins or so of suborbital flight) is very detectable.

The issue with hypersonic weapons is that they can fly low enough to be undetectable, and fast enough to reach their target before anyone knows what happened. That's enough to make any nation feel insecure and vulnerable and trigger happy.

How can people not blame the infanticised offices with food, toys and gym which signal latent expectation that you spend most of your time in the office and you've no family.

Lack of private cabins and too much noise in open offices and feeling that you are always being watched.

Coding interviews which make you feel as if you are applying for a competitive top tier university which often require days of prep.
Then the interviewer who pulls out some weird special case and is shocked to see that you spent years in industry yet you don't know about this case.

And startups whoes purpose is market disruption by often undermining rules/regulations, how can anyone who is not naive will not be worried about that? Who wants to be part of a racket who deliberately breaks rules/regulation and it isn't 100% guaranteed how government is going to react to that and feel mostly like a gamble which experienced people won't like making. No wonder younger people commit more crimes.

With age comes experience and wisdom and desire to not be taken advantage of and to not be manipulated by any dark patterns.

How to Fix Microphone Not Working on Mac OS
No.
The Millennium Challenge is typically cited as an example of a badly botched exercise rather than a real world defeat scenario.

It had:

Navy ships constrained to small areas to prevent disruption to commercial craft which would never be the case in an actual war

Small boats firing simulated cruise missiles weighing significantly more than the entire boats supposedly carrying them.

Motorcycle based messengers "simulated" by just using radios except no one bothered to add any kind of message delay or any other kind of constraint a motorcycle messenger might have compared to radio communication.

USN ships in the simulation teleporting into the center of a massive armada of simulated small boats due to a modeling error

All ship defenses being turned off during the engagement resulting from said error because everything was in the wrong place.

None of the USN ships even knowing that they were supposedly under attack until the "battle" was over.

Ships being "re-floated" as a result of the above screw up

It's generally unwise to try to draw any conclusions at all, positive or negative, based on its results. Also, there's a reason countries all over the world continue to build aircraft carriers. It's because they're useful. A carrier group essentially controls a moving sphere of territory with a radius of around 500nmi. Being able to launch dedicated AWACS[1] allows for far superior battlefield awareness compared to any other naval asset and air launched anti-ship missiles allow for striking range far greater than any other naval asset. Carrier groups are also a lot harder to find than you might think. Nuclear powered carriers are fast, faster than almost any other ships, and don't stay in one place. Keeping tabs on them is difficult, even if you have satellites. In the open ocean they're very difficult to confront because they will almost know more about the locations of opposing forces than the opposing forces know about their location thanks to real time aerial recon. The horizon is as far as radars can usually see and if you're in a plane that horizon is much further away. Carriers are not going away any time soon. They provide far too much utility which is not offered by any other kind of ship.

But let's be honest, the "protection and awareness" is needed here on South America, where they are destroying it.
