OK, in that case I'd be very interested to know which motherboard manufacturers are friendly to installation of replacement firmware and which not.

Wind can cause serous issues to birds flying around, and the amount of land that needs to be used for solar is a lot. And that will bring its own issues.

We could save the planet this way! But we need that room for wind and solar!

Nuclear is the only way to go.
it's interesting how many people think paying with your privacy costs nothing.
Some themes you can explore in your novel:

- how the scientifc method itself develops, or whether it develops at all

- how the tool affects the power structure of society. Would its use be banned for the lesser classes? Would literacy itself be banned or discouraged?

- Would religions, art, or culture evolve differently? Would the biodiversity of ideas actually reduce?

Perhaps the most compelling angle would be the one where the tool doesn't work according to our modern technocratic expectations.

I recommend Fastmail. I've switched to it from Gmail last year and have easily moved about 10 years or archives. There's an easy built in import tool.
I think there is a part of criticism on Go which are not relevant. The language has been designed to be "simple" and it do the job.
The latest posts on Go were only for the Karma, re-post, no new elements, no fair statements.

To answer to your question, I will say it will take you time to understand and to be productive with Rust.

But, please stop, Go and Rust can't be compared, they don't have the same goal in mind.
What is the part of nuclear reactors which takes so long to build? If we could somehow high jump the red tape and public backlash how long would it physically take to build?

The steam generators, turbine, electric generators, condenser and cooling systems are all more or less the same as they would be in an equivalent coal plant. While I'm sure these things have significant lead times they are essentially off the shelf parts.

The secondary containment structure doesn't seem any harder to build than say a suspension bridge.

The only real challenge the seems to be the primary containment structure and potentially other elements of the primary heating loop. I heard it mentioned that possibly only Japan had the ability to make these at the moment.

If the contract to build the plant is let correctly, then it can be made to be safe. When something is outsourced and it does not work, most of the time the person letting the contract has done a shit job.
> Which subset of your target customers are so constrained by the status quo, they’ll welcome a buggy product?

I understand this is just a mental test, but really... don't release buggy products. Don't create buggy products. Firstly, the line between forgivable bugs and unforgivable ones is too thin. Or sometimes N forgivable bugs become one big unforgivable show stopper.

Second, you will always have a competitor with more experienced engineers and a better choice of tools that they'll beat you at least at quality if nothing else.
Sorry to hear that but think that’s more a problem of commitment instead of age
I forced myself to forget about this, but I agree, this feature is so easy, elegant and useful, I'm surprised none of the browsers (last time I checked) had implemented it except Chrome.

unfortunately is not a reality just in the Bay Area. We found it here in London as well, in huge companies and startups. That’s why we had the idea, to alert companies that this is actually happening everywhere and they should pay more attention to older professionals, not only gender and race. Diverse teams are proved to be more effective than others.

In reason six the author talks about emissions and air pollution related to nuclear power. Then shows an image of a nuclear plant releasing water vapour into the air.
German-Americans had been aggressively discriminated against before and during WW1 [0]. By the time WW2 rolled around, many German-American families had worked very hard to assimilate and had acquired economic and political influence which could shield them from mass detentions. Even so, a small number were still detained by the government during both wars [1].

We do, and that's what we export, but there are also reserves of brown coal which are cheap* and close to Melbourne.

*If you ignore the climate cost and unreliability of the aging plants; coal power (both brown and black) in Australia is quite unreliable as the plants are super old and there has been no investment in power infrastructure due to policy uncertainty due to infantile governments. So on hot days, when demand is higher, coal plants break down due to the greater heat. At least you can predict when you'll have wind and solar power available; here coal power is more temperamental.
The problem is mainly that the user interface is in my opinion horrible. Especially for new users (I've helped a few newbies), it's hard to see the tabs and to be aware that the browser created a new one.
Doesn't all of this mean that we're nearing the limits of kinetic-energy based weapons and are on the cusp of a new age of laser weapons? I mean, sure - these missiles are hard to hit, but I'm guessing that something moving at the speed of light is going to trump it, easily ..
It also takes hours to compile everything from scratch, but we don't see computers taking hours to boot, do we? Most of the process "from initial state" is cached, and there is little reason to not keep the trend.

Booting, as in detecting and initializing the hardware, including the RAM, should only be needed when hardware is changed, and even then it should be possible to cache the state of any unchanged parts.

A few causes:

1. The python 2/python 3 split

2. Quite a few python lines such as 3.5 and the early 3.6 have deadly bugs

3. Diamond dependencies; That is package A depends on package B1 and package C depends on B2 but you can't have B1 and B2.

4. Packages installed in a user's home directory will normally be visible in any virtualenv or conda environment so if you install something there you are hosed.

5. The inverse not-invented-here syndrome which is expecting pip, conda, pipenv, poetry, pyenv, etc. to solve the problem for you as opposed to understanding what factors are at play.

The number of factors at play are finite and the problem is solvable but you have to start with xenophobia and distrust of the platform, get complete control of part of the space first and expand the space you control as opposed to attempt to find the 20% of the whole that gets you 80% of the way there because that last 20% is a woozy and will shift underneath you and make you doubt your sanity...

I feel like I've made it out the other side but I don't know if I could ever communicate what I've learned to a neurotypical.
So what is missing/wrong in the article?

(btw, I submitted not because I agree with it – I am not knowledgeable enough on the matter – but because I thought HN could add some interesting comment on it)
What a biased article, pretty much every point is cherry picking.

Edit: Everything here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Z._Jacobson actually tells you the objectivity of this guy on nuclear energy.
I'm of course no expert on this, but pressure vessels are very difficult to build and there are just a few locations worldwide that can make them.

But you don't need anything particularly difficult to build for construction to take forever. Look at Stutgart 21, or Berlin's airport.
What's laughable is your inability to understand. Outpace means go "faster". It means that The level of supply rises up faster than demand so that you will observe a price change. If demand and supply rose at an equal rate, you will observe no price change.

I hope this educated your mind. The education system in many parts of this country has huge problems and I'm glad that uneducated people from deficient areas that lack basic math programs for people with special needs come to Hacker news too learn more. I applaud you for taking the initiative to learn!

Other than that, what I really didn't like about your response is your insulting tone. The parent poster did nothing to deserve such a response. "laughably meaningless statement" is a vile and disgusting statement in itself. There are other ways to critique someone's statement. The way you did it is highly immature.
How does it talk on MacOs? I'm confused, I closed the tab mid-sentence and it kept talking until it finished the sentence.
article says "Chernobyl, Russia 1986", Pre 1991, [wiki] known as Soviet Ukraine, was one of the constituent republics of the Soviet Union from the Union's inception in 1922 to its breakup in 1991.

So probably why he mentions the date after saying Russia
I wonder if the same applies to "Brave" ? (the browser built on top of chrome).

I stopped using chrome for a while and have been using Brave.

Firefox is free software, the community can always work around bad ideas.
well we germans do not have a good track of making buildings correctly and safe in the recent past.
it either took twice as long and was twice as expensive or it was a complete mess. and this was with things that needs to be less safe than a nuclear power plant.
germany lost a lot of knowledge in the construction space thats why I highly doubt that we can make a safe nuclear power plant that might produce less garbadge. also corporate entities grown in power in germany and they try to safe as much money as possible.
Vue is not a clear winner. Clear winner to you, but not a clear winner overall.
Ok but what makes you trust Fastmail more than Gmail, while it's clearly advertised as a safe haven away from prying eyes?
It is actually full of lies. Cost as the problem of nuclear energy? 1 KWH produced by nuclear power is roughly 3-4 times cheaper than produced by renewables. This is excluding the impact of renewables on the grid.
Weapons Proliferation Risk??? Most of the nuclear power plants do not use or produce plutonium at all. Nuclear weapons are produced in very specific facilities that have a huge energy consumption. This article is a classical propaganda to avoid the unavoidable use nuclear power for clear energy.

Humanity needs these energy sources that we can use in space and on Earth to have a relatively small plant that produces a lot of energy without CO2. Yes there are challenges but we did not stop using fire because it produces smoke. We made burning safe over the last 400.000 years now we should make nuclear energy safe.
A lot of these answers are why computers don’t boot instantly but none really talk about why they can’t. The accepted answer talks about it on a physical/mechanical level but eschews practicality: what can’t computers boot arbitrarily quickly?
The new Edge has an almost identical one...
Germany has had a serious problem with waste storage and disposal. A while ago the government reached a deal with the utilities which put them of the hook for around ~€25bln:

https://www.powerengineeringint.com/articles/2016/10/germany...

Some sources say that this won't cover even a quarter of the costs, because Germany does not have any permanent storage facility.
A thing is worth its market-clearing price. Facebook has $15B in revenue and pays $12B in expenses (for the sake or argument, it's all payroll). I claim the workers are getting exactly what they're worth, and the remaining $3B is the value contributed by capital/management. Your claim seems to be that workers created the full $15B in value, and the $3B is being stolen from them. Apologies if you meant something else.

If that's true, Facebook's workforce could quit tomorrow, go build a competitor, and claim the full $15B for themselves. Why don't they do that?

The traditional Communist argument has been that they can't because capital owns the means of production. Factory workers would happily go start their own factory, but they can't afford the machines to fill it. That argument doesn't work too well here: the means of production needed to build Facebook are accessible even to college students. Basically an editor, a scripting language, a web server, and some linux boxes.

Another reasonable argument is that they can't because they need to eat. The time it would take between quitting their jobs at Facebook, Inc. and seeing revenue from Facebook Co-Op would exhaust their savings. That is a problem UBI can solve. It's not that UBI pays what you are worth, but that it removes the urgency that sometimes prevents people from getting their full value in the market.

This idea - that workers create all the value in a company, not just the subset they are paid for - is testable. If you're sure it's true and you want everyone else to believe it, then I think you'd want to run the experiment. UBI could be a way of doing that. Could also do grants that pay living expenses during entrepreneurial activity, or just straight-up house and feed co-op founders without asking for an equity stake.
I hope you're right and most of the companies change their mind
I mentioned this earlier, but you could try "Brave" (https://brave.com/) a web browser based on chrome. same features just less of the google-stickiness.
I already uninstalled Chrome everywhere except my smartphone. It pains me because Chrome's UX suits me better than anything else. But I can't fathom their decision.
Doesn't Firefox show you relevant open tabs when you type in keywords in the address bar?
completely serious question, what does it cost me? It's not like my data is some zero sum thing that vanishes once someone else has it, and it's not like I have the ability to directly sell it to anyone else. How in material terms am I worse off by anyone tracking me.

Isn't this all just entire ideological, I don't see what cost I incur if Google knows that I visited hackernews, listen to bowie on youtube and like podcasts
Why would you punish someone for acknowledging when they're wrong? All you're doing is discouraging what is actually good, self-aware behavior.

It's extremely easy for humans to make mistakes and have cognitive distortions from information collected over time. Your comment is completely uncalled for.
Curious, what does it cost?
This is stupid. Once you divide those costs by the power generated, they become almost negligible.

To replace a nuclear power plant the size of an office building you need a solar or wind farm the size of a decent village. And it's exponential. To replace a large nuclear power plant, you need a solar farm that would rival the average state capital in size. That makes those costs look very different.
Ballistic missiles are not "conventional weapons". And Iran is quite a large country, so I wouldn't be so sure that "monitoring" was working either. Putting two and two together, _if_ Iran is still developing nuclear weapons in secret (probability of which is far above zero), they're closer than ever to "projecting" those weapons in the general direction of Israel and other allies in the region, and eventually at the US. All they'd need to do is swap out a dummy warhead with a real one.
Maybe this event will cause an inrush of new devs for firefox and more motivation from the core team ?

It is widely acknowledged in war-fighting circles that America's aircraft careers are only useful in policing actions - i.e. to be used as a threat of war, and not actually of any use in conditions of total war, since they are big, fat, slow moving high-value targets that can easily be taken out with widely deployed missiles designed for the job - i.e. the P-270 MOSKIT (SS-N-22 Sunburn) missiles, which Russia developed specifically to counter the threat.

Americans don't like to be told this, nor will they work to understand it beyond a glib "America, Fuck yeah!" style response, but the American naval surface fleet is probably one of the first casualties in an all-out war. The MOSKIT is deployed specifically to target these carriers, and there is - so far - no defence against them. Laser-based defences are being developed to defend against the threat, but are not widely deployed across the fleet.

America will lose its carriers in the first minutes of all-out war.

http://exiledonline.com/the-war-nerd-this-is-how-the-carrier...
most of these reasons are hogwash. the real issue with depending on nuclear is peak uranium, regardless on where you put the date nuclear is not renewable, could be part of an integrated strategy to move out of coal a fossil fuel but cannot be the only answer to long term energy needs, which doesn't mean we should not invest in it but that we are going to need an exit strategy.
Before Windows XP being massively popular it was Windows 98 being massively popular - up until Service Pack 2 (IIRC) the main competitor to Windows XP was Windows 98 and people would simply not move off it. There isn't really a universe where Windows XP is a failure with Windows 98's popularity - there wasn't much of a real choice from people who eventually had to abandon Windows 98 outside of Windows XP and Microsoft was pushing Windows desktops hard as their primary focus at the time. Of course Windows 98 owe part of its popularity to Windows 95.

Around Windows 95 was the last time you could say that other desktop OSes had a chance to become a de-facto standard, but IIRC the only desktop competitor at the time was OS/2 and IBM shat the bed on that one (BeOS also tried but it was too little too late and Linux at the time was a regression from both DOS and Windows UX-wise... assuming anyone knew about it).

Microsoft's sketchy deals with PC vendors where they had to pay an OS license for every PC sold regardless of the PC being sold with a Microsoft OS or not didn't help competitors much.
Reduce first, then reuse, then recycle. It doesn't seem like that much work to me and my lifestyle doesn't seem Spartan but I think we generate 1/4 the trash of many people.

There are things where it's not about learning as much as about the quality of code you produce within the same timeframe. My personal record of rewriting a big product was reducing a 150k LOC project to 7k lines with the same functionality and then some more. Now compare the cost of maintenance of 150k lines of code vs 7k. That literally translates to a lot of (saved) money for the company. While that one was probably a bit extreme, even 3x or 4x reduction can be a big win. These things come with experience more than "learning" in the traditional sense.

An interesting comment on nuclear by senior vice president, development, NextEra Energy Resources. Starts at 1h18m - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SXxJWUv-x4

Bottom line, at least in the U.S it's just uneconomical.
Climate catastrophe, overpopulation, resources running out (especially water), species being wiped out to the point where it will actually affect us, the end of antibiotics, large areas becoming uninhabitable...

I wonder what happens to mutually assured destruction when the world is guaranteed a number of huge wars over resources?
The correct term would still be USSR.

Which part of 'responsive design testing' in particular do you mean? I use devtools pretty religiously to check elements, but put responsivetester.net together a few years back for rapidly testing across multiple breakpoints. Then I'll use lambdatest.com (because it's wonderfully cheap) to actually device test prior to launch...

The EU can't even commit to the 2050 targets thanks to Poland and Czech Republic's love of coal that shows little sign of change. Hungary's vote is more confusing as I didn't think they had much coal - they're big on nuclear.

I wish there was a lot more urgency in responses, we already had 1 year of the IPCC's 12.

I was starting to think I was the only one against these claims.

There's no one pushing Google down its users' throats. Yet people ask Google to behave like they want. Well, surprise! Google is a private entity and they'll do whatever they want. If you don't like it, leave. I left a long time ago but I believe these claims are unfair to Google.

We are being bombarded with "Google's x product is a monopoly". No they are not. There are tons of alternatives to anyone of Google's services. The thing is, they do it better than their alternatives. Free market, my friend.

If x alternative to a Google's service gets better, people will gravitate towards it. But don't ask people to drop the better product in order to give (undeserved) attention to the not-so-great one. Earn it!

People also complain about Google making their services' sites suck on other browsers. Well, their site, their rules. Not so long ago all online services had dedicated clients instead of web apps. Those apps weren't called "monopolies", yet there was no alternative client. Because the root of the monopoly argument lies in the "service", if there are no alternatives to the "service", now we are talking, but there's no monopoly in the "client". If you don't like the "client", drop the service.

I am shamelessly stealing your code.
Important along with the current costs of the renewable competition is that renewables keep getting cheaper every year. If lead time is 15 years, that's a long time in incremental improvement on the wind/pv side.
