> ...Couldn't we fill some tankers and have them release the water... @adrianN

1st) Who is this /we/ you speak of?

2nd) Who's tankers are you suggesting /we/ utilize?

3rd) Who is the governing authority here that is in charge of the WE, the VESSELS, and the area of release?

Who's backyard does this take place in?

How much compensation is being offered for these privately owned tankers that will be permanently damaged by the radioactive waste being carried?

Who is paying the wage and medical bills for the crews that are crewing said vessels?

Where does this labor come from in the first place?

Who is safety training these laborers in the proper use of protective gear, proper disposal procedures for contaminated gear, etc...

Finally, where the hell is this highly-contaminated water going to be released and or stored?

Most importantly, who the hell is going to pay for all of what you've suggested?

_____

I sure as hell am not going to pay for it. TEPCO sure as hell isn't going to pay for it. Japan sure as hell isn't going to pay for it.

SO, I ask again, who's footing the bill for this immensely complex and expensive process?
Tech jobs are paying insane rates.

The US is not talking about starting a war. President Trump has been very clear he wants to avoid war.
As much as I like carriers, in an actual war against a true world power, they seem irrelevant to 21st century warfare. They would be so easy to take out with any type of guided weapon, much less the hypersonics that are coming online.

Even on my x.org desktop without compositing or any other source of extra frame delay, just turning on vsync in-game utterly destroys my ability to play Super Hexxagon[1]. If Wayland is adding additional frames of latency, I'll have to add that game (and probably any other rhythm game) to the list of reasons I cannot use Wayland.

Apple has enough money in the bank at this point to not really care about what is or what isn't the most stable. They could make the worst decisions possible and it would take years before the consequences of their actions come back to bite them. While I'm sure they had genius analysts crunch and ultimately approve this move, the rules are different for them.
What happens when your sysadmins say "Maintaining IRC is a waste of time and gets us 1% of the features Slack does, let's just get Slack?" (At my last company, it was the sysadmin team, including myself, who decided to switch to Slack and killed our IRC server.)

Do you stop trusting them then?
The broader issue is that, while most would consider the alternative power vacuum bad, American imperialism and projection is obviously not the optimal way to organize global society.

The UN is wholly inept and incapable with a security council that overrules decisions and is composed of both democracies and dictatorships, but in theory you would want to have organizations akin to it that could maintain nation state power balance and avoid the propagation of further empire or subjugation between states. Having this one nation beholden largely not even to its people but to its richest dictate global morals and ethics between societies is an oppression of its own, even if the alternative is recognizably worse in the current state of affairs.

You'll have a hard time finding that.

But, you'll have an easier time finding out what companies who sell services related to supply chain integrity protection and counterfeit detection. Googling about those topics and companies like Harris Corp are good places to start. If you look at what these companies do, you should be able to infer what they are protecting against.

From what I gather, the usual threat for this sort of compromise is that adversaries in the supply chain or channel either provide or inject bogus parts or equipment. This may be done for spying purposes, but most often are just ways to make a little extra money.

The alleged difference with a state-owned entity like Huawei is that the "trusted" supply chain itself is doing untrustworthy things.
> Also, a lot of cables will wear out, and they will stop working when you need them the most (I've ruined quite a few video dongles)

Okay, but if a dongle breaks, you just buy another dongle. If a video port breaks, that's a much more expensive replacement - though I suppose you can get a USB video dongle these days.

On a side note, I wish that wireless video was more of a thing, given the security issues with physical connectors.
> There is no chance of Saudi Arabia becoming a great world power any time soon

No in the conventional sense, but they have spread their ideology to such an extent that most people on earth won't draw a cartoon of a particular historical character using their real name.

That's real power projection, all fear.

>Well guess what, that's a design decision and we live in a free market - so if you don't like it you're welcome to buy a different laptop or phone...

I imagine one is also free to write about why they don't like it...

I never understand this argument. So people should just keep their mouths shut about anything they don't like assuming they have a market alternative? Why? Maybe I like a lot about X but don't like where X is now headed? Why shouldn't I speak up?
Could you elaborate some of those features?
I’m guessing if there were a way to filter out the tritium they probably already would have. The article states that they already removed other isotopes from the water, but not the tritium. This leads me to believe there is something particularly tricky about separating it from water. Hopefully someone with some knowledge can weigh in here as I am curious as well.
Read the article (or don't) and assail its contents (or don't). Ad hominem is fundamentally unproductive.
GTK is now intentionally breaking API compatibility every release (but putting out a “supported until the end of time” release every two years).

Unless they are porting GTK2 (which supported GTK1 apps as well) to wayland, then a decade of desktop apps will have to be rewritten (and will probably just bit rot to oblivion).

Also, what about window managers? Those have to be rewritten for wayland, but they peaked in usability (for me) long ago.
In the Clojure community, no new technology officially exists until Rich Hickey invents it.
The idea is that the tools are meant to be limited to avoid complexity (this is why bash, like most GNU tools, isn't really a good example of unix philosophy - it is too complex) and instead rely on composition.

It's much easier to develop a product if you don't need to make money for financing the development. Selling is also easier if you can afford marketing budgets and sales people. As long as they are losing money they are basically selling 1 dollar bills for 90 cents. Hard to compete with that.

It's not impossible to compete but just much harder.
The article made it sound like the water is mostly harmless and Sellafield dumps orders of magnitude more into the sea without dramatic effects.
I am not sure if this is a good move on Apple's part in the long term, both parties, Republicans & Democrats, have shown a lot of ire for China. I don't think this will go unpunished. But perhaps they believe that the Chinese market is vastly more valuable than the US and are willing to eat any cost the US may levy against it in the future.

If I were them I'd have just moved it to Vietnam or India.
I think the parent agree with you, and tried to imply that China is indeed more stable than the US, and that was scaring him.
It probably explains the at least $4,000 markup between the cost of the hardware and the final price. They've gotta pay those tariffs and pass the losses onto consumers who don't care about spending $6,000 for an 8-core CPU, 32gb of ECC ram, an R580X and 256 SSD.

You'd have to be drinking a lot of fucking Kool Aid as any sort of creative professional to think MacOS is worth that premium above alternative tools in either Linux or Windows 10.

Apple deciding to move production to an economically hostile country and shutter more American jobs only adds injury to insult.
So because you don't agree with 1 out of the 15 points, suddenly those other 14 are null and void? Pffff.

You just have to look at all the "No, it's really not that bad a price" comments re the upcoming Mac Pro to see he does have a point there.

Anyone who lives in Colorado receives a dose of many Fukushima's a year. I have a radon counter in my basement and watch the count ebb and flow with the seasons.

One self luminous exit sign contains about 0.00074 PBq of tritium.
The Fukushima stored water contains about 0.76 PBq of tritium, enough for about 1027 signs. I suspect there is far more tritium in the exit signs in Tokyo then there is in the Fukushima water.

The Latin words seem to mean ‘the place of cooks,’ with ‘coquinus’ being an adjective and ‘coquina’ a noun.
Maybe this is a definitions issue. One's 'junior' is another 'novice' - I say this, as I think that there's been a huge gulf forming in how we view the meaning of words (particularly relative to HR)...
Why isn't that Cook?

Without knowing Apple internally, the point is that the staff under the COO (if the "C"s have their own divisions) are the back office, the accounting, HR, IT, and other shared services accross an organization. There isn't necessarily creativity as a mission.
Are they separate topics? Isn't the "active" part of your comment in the original post EXACTLY the skepticism that you claim you aren't making ("this is about precise language")?
No surprise there.

I was more referring to the fact that colors are available only in certain years. So if you have the "Rose Gold" iPhone, this identifies you as being on the latest release in one year. And also identifies you as being a year out of date when they don't make that color available in the following year.

Where is this evidence? We don't have exact recordings that far back.

Further thought: All it requires for the title to be falsified is a single oddly hot day to have occured say 4725 years ago. There's never going to be evidence with sufficient resolution to catch that.

It seems quite plausible that we're cranking up temps recently. But why do so many fervently defend a rather disingenuous title?
I would be really interested in the legal format that they put such a restriction in.
I'm sure there's a subsection of hard-core users that find it really great. The people I interacted with it were just treating it as a document cloud. For me, I carry my work laptop everywhere when I'm working.... so I don't really need to do much on the phone.
Basing your business and basing your production are quite different. Apple has likely done the math on the cost of their relations with their manufacturer going belly up against the additional savings from having their production done in china.

I don't know that you could say Apple is based anywhere. Their offices are in the US, they have finances in Ireland (I think?), and their production is in China. They just put stuff where it's cheapest and drawdown is minimized in the event of a catastrophe. It's all thought out, I'm sure.
What I'd like to see is a filter that parsed the hmtl, threw out most of it, and showed just the actual content in a minimalist fashion as an old website would. If I could run specific links through this filter from the right-click menu, for example, that would be awesome. Preferably with no need for javascript once I got there. Does anyone know of something like this? Just throw out all the modern UI crap and the ad crap and just give me the content.

Putting some urls in the text box made me remember this.
How to integrate security in AI powered camera app
I am about to choose my final year project and our group is yet to finalise an idea. We have two ideas. One is an e-commerce app which uses AI for fraud detection and add an option to virtually try out clothes by super imposing them on your pictures. Another idea is building an AI powered camera app. For this I have read many research papers and will try to merge Deep learning based techniques to improve picture quality and add fun features like pose translation etc to make the app interactive. I am leaning towards this camera app but a team member is insisting on working on something related to security and is leaning towards e-commerce app. How can i add some features in camera app that are related to security. I am thinking about sharing photos between users and some cloud storage but don't have any concrete idea. Can someone suggest some ideas. Also if there is a better platform to ask this question kindly tell me about it. Thanks
There is objective evidence the Earth existed prior to Thursday. An anecdote is not objective evidence.

If you're serious about this line of inquiry, and not just posturing, there are well-regarded treatises on the difference between logical, empirical and anecdotal evidence.
Interesting point about : work environment vs communities.

For work, the decision of which IM tool is most likely going to be a corporate one, without much choice of solution.
I guess the problem here is the same as for other corporate tools. (And people have strong feelings about corporate tools, but it seems there are less strong feelings about "using jira vs bugzilla" as there are "using slack vs irc". Or maybe there are as much strong feelings.)

On the other end, I get the troubles with the "network" effect for out-of-work communities (open source projects, clubs, etc...)
Such communities can at least have "some" level of debate about which solution to use, and balance the pros and cons as they see fit.
It's completely acceptable for an OSS community to discourage using such platforms - as any other non-free, centralized platforms. We're still not forced to use anything.

Then, there is the "club of non-power user" situation. I would be hard pressed to ask someone from my drama club to setup and maintain an IRC server (neither do I want to do it.)

Thanks for adding this dimension.

Follow-up: is there a "nice" provider of some slack-like solution (mattermost, etc...) that hosts servers for communities of non-techies for not too much money ?
You can level "just use Rust" at any non-Rust ecosystem. It's kind of tired advice. You might as well be recommending Haskell or any other hobby horse language and then argue from a standpoint of technical superiority as if that's the only concern when choosing tools.

I use Rust all the time yet I'll still use Node for most HTTP-based applications and tools I start, and not because I'm an idiot or beginner, as many comments here will suggest. They are completely different languages and ecosystems and workflows that satisfy different goals.

I didn't claim that there is a universal definition of shell. My comment is about how these tools are meant to be used and designed as to follow unix philosophy (btw Bash does not follow the unix philosophy as it is a very complicated program that tries to do way more than it needs to).

If the Unix Philosophy is a good thing or not is another matter, but to judge that you first have to understand it.
I don't think it was wrong to downvote the comment and the comment was unfairly pedantic and inaccurate.

Anyone with even a tiny amount of scientific literacy knows what the phrase "since records began" means, and that phrase is entirely honest and not used at all to hide the size of the data set.

OP's issues with a completely routine and accurate description, since they cannot be considered a fair criticism of normal language by an unbiased viewer, thus must be due to their scientific illiteracy or inexperience with the subject, or due to their politics causing them to "find any reason to object" leading them to settle on unfair and bad pedantry.
Have you been following what China does to entire population groups that threaten their stability?

Name one country that is more stable for mass production than China?

Its just not the leafy vision of stability you had in mind.
Sometimes it really is different. And sometimes it isn't.
While it is technically true that Alferd Nobel did not provide for a prize in Economics in his will, there is The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences (1). This was funded in Nobel's memory by a Swedish central banker.

It is administered by the Nobel Foundation - just like the other prizes.

Rumor has it Apple will put a 5.4 inch screen in a iPhone 8 size body. I hope it's true because the Android manufacturers will definitely copy them and I'll be able to get a phone under 68mm wide again.
- Mobile client, including mobile push

- Search

- Scrollback/history available in the main client interface people who newly join a channel (extraordinarily important during incident response)

- Ability to link to a message in history

- Ability to handle multi-line messages in a vaguely competent matter

- Image uploads, snippets, etc.

- Users of a GUI tool / web interface are first-class, users of a command-line client are second-class; this is unlike IRC, and important when the goal is a single chat system for the entire company, not just engineering (and usually a subset of engineering at that)

- Client/UI expectation that you do not catch up on every message unless you want to (like IRC, but unlike email)

- Quality integrations that have already been written with the third-party apps that you're already using

IRC and email have both been time-tested, and have failed the test.
That is not a Nobel prize it is a Nobel MEMORIAL prize. Nobel did not create it in his will like the rest of the prizes. There are a number of people who oppose liking economics with a study "worthy" of his money.

You can take your own side in that, but do understand that a different side exists.

We don't have exact recordings of anything. Certain minerals form differently depending on ambient temperatures. For area temperature estimation, these methods are more precise than most thermometers.

I work in an industry that is a bit niche and weird SaaS world.

There are two companies backed by deep pocket investors who are happy to lose money, their products are straight sold at a loss because they desperately need market share gains to hopefully dominate and survive when they finally worry about profits.

Now the company I'm at is doing fine as we're small and such and we haven't lost customers to do the absurdly low cost pricing from the other two companies. But I know of others who have lost customers, nobody can match the pricing, and simply because they don't have the backing they will not survive.

It's very possible the two deep pocket companies won't survive either, but it seems like a fairly destructive pattern to have a market torn up ... when the driving force isn't even creating a stable company / what I would think of as typical market forces that help everyone.
> No, it isn't. Concentration camps have existed throughout history and they haven't always been associated with genocide.

It still is, because a "concentration camp" even in that sense still isn't just any camp where people are concentrated. It implies internment without charges, which is exactly what isn't happening here -- there is every expectation that there will be a proceeding to determine their immigration status, resulting in either release or deportation and not indefinite internment in violation of habeas corpus.

> But, you know, they do have a connotation of being associated with violations of human rights which is exactly what people are alleging about these detention sites.

Then make that claim and not the other one. If they have no access to soap then assert that as the thing that needs to be fixed -- because at least that can be fixed. How do you make a detention facility not a "concentration camp" under a definition of "concentration camp" that just means any detention facility?
All you need to unlock any iPhone is a proprietary zero day flaw. Not exactly newsworthy. Their technique can vanish at any moment if it’s discovered and fixed.
