Again, I never said it was irrational to regulate. And its equally wrong that it was 'self-regulated' before that.

But the amount of regulation interceded was in no relation to the accident that actually happened. But rather the accident gave the political momentum to the anti-nuclear people to essentially make further development of nuclear impossible.

You are just engaging in binary logic, while I try to point out real problems with the current system that need to be addressed on a lot of levels, from development, to building, to licensing and so on

The reality is that you have no interest in even engaging in the actual problems with the current system in order to present some binary choice that you can force on people. Its simply the same old fear tactics, don't engage with the actual subject matter, demonize based on principle.

> Furthermore, the Trump administration is already deregulating the nuclear industry, so you're getting your wish.

No they are not actually. And some general 'deregulation' is not my goal.

> Invoking the Fifth to avoid testifying, while a legal right, is sometimes interpreted as an admission of guilt. Its use to resist a subpoena for documents is less common and may only imply a dance between prosecutors and defense attorneys, legal experts say.

Fifth amendment rights only apply to criminal situations -- so the correct inference is that a former Boeing official believes Boeing's design process for the 737 MAX is criminal, implicating whatever his personal role was in illegal conduct.

This inference may be drawn in civil situations, without violating the rights of the former official -- the Fifth Amendment only applies to criminal prosecutions.

If Boeing can't turn over documentation related to the 737 MAX without revealing criminal conduct, then we should seriously doubt the robustness of their engineering.

Everything designed by Boeing since the 787, designed just after their move to Chicago, has had increasingly poor results -

787: Battery troubles, composite assembly troubles, manufacturing defects in SC.

737 MAX: Killed two flights worth of passengers from poorly designed UX and ignoring standard engineering principles.

777X: The doors blow off.

That is part of the reason why I bought a good carbon steel pan instead of a cast iron one.

The way they're produced (stamped from sheet steel rather than cast) ensures they have a perfectly smooth surface, rather than the pitted uneven surface of a modern cast iron pan.

Professional chefs have been using carbon steel pans for decades for a reason. In my view, they have all of the upsides of cast iron, with none of the downsides. And they're surprisingly inexpensive at kitchen supply stores.

There are a few different types of these microbes.

Often you can find them hanging out in old mine waste water or inside where ever mineral exposures are. Several versions eat iron sulfide minerals to function, others eat metallic compounds in waste water. Mining companies are looking at using these microbes to help break down acid rock drainage, the harmful acids generated by sulfide minerals exposed to air.

One species of the microbes can collect precious metals inside its self as a side effect, releasing them when they die as perfect metallic orbs.

Well, I'm basing that particular claim on the published opinion of a professional academic historian of science.

If you or anyone else interested has a lot of free time, you may want to skim these pages by Dr. Richard Carrier:

Unfortunately, especially the first two links are into his blogs and challenge the reader to wade through a whole lot of polemic. The third one, though, makes for interesting general reading.

In the second link, he explicitly addresses a list of advancements allegedly from the early Middle Ages. I did some rather superficial research on the first three items you mentioned: windmills and water mills and pumps. Lo and behold, all three were known and in use in the Roman Empire or well before the period Carrier focuses on, to wit, 200-1200.

Admittedly, his focused time frame is shifted a bit from that of the discussion here in HN: We're talking about what happened after the Roman Empire tanked, while he's arguing against claims that Christianity was a boon to science.

> > The other is almost entirely a mixture of Propylene Glycol and Vegetable Glycerin.

> What an extraordinary meaningless statement.

Not at all. The point being made is that we're dealing with a product composed primarily (99%) of two chemicals that are very clearly established as safe for human consumption (propylene glycol is commonly _injected_). As such, it seems unreasonable to assume absent evidence that the chemicals themselves would pose any significant threat to health.

That leaves other additives (which I noted) and the inhalation itself (which I also noted). As I stated in my previous comment, chronic inhalation of anything is likely to be bad for your health.

You really seem to have missed the context of the question I was responding to - it asked not about absolute safety, but rather safety relative to cigarette consumption.

Yes, as you note, there is always the potential for chemical reactions when mixtures are heated. Given the particular chemical composition and temperatures involved, I'm not personally concerned absent solid evidence. None of the byproducts listed in the study you linked appear particularly worrisome to me. Compared to cigarette, weed, or wood smoke, the contents of vaping such aerosols appears downright healthy. (Only in comparison, of course!)

Rereading my previous comment, something I failed to mention is the risk of inhaling things that are too hot. Depending on what temperature the aerosol is heated to, it could burn you internally (but then we're comparing this to inhaling burning plant matter, so... meh).

> I believe the current scientific consensus is that more research is needed.

To establish what, their precise negative health effects? Of course. But not to establish that they are safer than smoking cigarettes - there's absolutely no question about that.
Also to add, you should add oil _after_ the pan is heated (for a non-coated pan such as your skillet). You don't want to break down the fat before adding your food.

Non-stick pans should have a small amount of oil while heating up.
Can you really blame the British who left HK 22 years ago? I mean China claims to be an actual Communist country and Communism is at least to some degree incompatible with "[t]he whole economy [...] under the control of 14 rich billionaires." Even though there's the Basic Law providing a degree of separation, could the Chinese not have at least influenced the direction of inequality over 22 years?

That's because the Python community is too nice.

When Ruby or node broke compat, they just said "move or die". People moved.

When Python broke compat, they gave 7 years. People screamed, cried, complained, sweared it was impossible for them, that life was hard and the PSF was unfair.

They got an extension of 5 more years.

People still complained !

Hell, famous authors resented python 3 for years, refusing publicly to update their book.

On the other hand, the PSF had a very small budget, only few tiny donations and contributions by people or big companies that were saying they couldn't migrate that their lines of code. The same code that were making them a living, from a 25 years old amazing tech given to them for free.

My take on this is that if you are doing an open source project with a lot of volunteer work, don't be too nice. People have a tendency to abuse it. Save yourself trouble, and balance respect with users and convenience for you.
Windows 10 now offer you to install Python 3 if you do this.
In all my experience working for a non-profit that closely involves itself with the CDC and smoking related research, I would never describe the CDC's actions as over-the-top.

They do all their own research and are very measured and even handed with their messaging.

Contrast that to the FDA who have outsourced their job function to back to the companies they're supposed to be regulating.

In my experience with type inference (quite a bit of mypy, now learning rust), inferring local variable types based on what's assigned to it is not very confusing, as long as me or the IDE can figure out what type is being assigned. But when a function return value or variable's generic argument is determined by where the value is used, I tend to have more trouble (since one type can propagate from one function, to its argument, to the function which generated the argument).
Don't quite unterstand the downvotes. Meanwhile the language and more important the entire infrastructure is affected: python vs. python3 switches pollute virtual environments, deployment, whole systems scripting code, bindings, derived code and more. This is not 'a bit'. Ending this situation is, as already mentioned, a (big) incentive.

I don't use Ruby on Rails but if you just scan open tech positions you'll see a lot of new startups and existing companies are based on Ruby. So I'd say it is not dying, but likely has slowed down some.

IMO every language essentially goes through this, gets popular for some period and then slows down to become either mainstream or it falls away. I'd personally say Ruby went mainstream, it definitely isn't fringe and it isn't the new hot stuff but real companies rely on it daily.

Reductio ad absurdum is similar to whataboutism, but it's not the same. Whataboutism is more like an abrupt detour off into a different issue to try to confuse the conversation or transform the topic of discussion into a referendum on the personal morals/motivations of the involved parties. The appeal to extremes does have to ask the question "what about x" but it's relevant because it's done to demonstrate the logical consequences of the other person's line of argument. It's not trying to deflect, it's getting to the heart of the issue.

I am quite surprised that the Chinese have allowed the crony capitalism that the Hong Kong Government system is based on to continue unabated.

The continually rising levels of inequality that it has generated have been an obvious risk to social stability for a long time, which presumably the CCP are very keen to maintain.

The government and press regularly celebrate achieving the title of "Freest economy on earth" (top place for the last 25 years). What is less frequently mentioned is that Hong Kong tops the Economist's Crony Capitalist Index, ahead of Russia in second place. [2]

With respect to the British, the structure of the government (functional constituencies etc.) can certainly be traced back to them. And as highlighted this SCMP article that examines the cozy business/government relationship in light of the protests [3]:

The roots of Hong Kong’s entangled ties between business and politics can be traced to the city’s colonial history, when hometown business elites were also local community leaders, endorsed and endowed by administrators with influence and leadership roles.

In the city’s first post-colonial administration after 1997, businessmen made up eight of the 11 non-official members of Tung Chee-hwa’s cabinet. The ratio was little changed at 70 per cent under Tung’s successor Donald Tsang Yam-kuen, falling to half during Leung Chun-ying’s term from 2012 to 2017.

I'm not sure that's true. The layout of Go code in Google's monorepo is not at all similar to GOPATH, and patterns that are common within google3 (such as multiple Go packages in one directory) are fundamentally incompatible with the Go build system. As an ex-Googler, I still strongly prefer the google3 style and am annoyed when open-source Go tooling can't deal with it properly.

I'd recommend GitLab Auto-DevOps, although I'm sure there are others in this space, which provides a Heroku-like experience on Kubernetes. That way you don't have to learn Kubernetes in one big bang. You'll still probably need/want to learn Kubernetes eventually so you know what GitLab is doing for you and some of the tradeoffs involved but it's not a roadblock to getting stuff done, and starts you off with a fairly sane configuration.
You miss an important part of the sentence in the second link: "The NIOSH Recommended Exposure Limit (REL) for occupational noise exposure is 85 decibels, A-weighted".

dB expresses the ratio of one value to another. So without knowing what the other value is, it's rather meaningless. But it is unfortunately an often-made mistake: how many times haven't you heard or read just dB as such? Anyway, this means you cannot simply compare dB dynamic range with dB used to express sound pressure level of which 'A-Weighted' is just one standard which gets used. Those are completely different things. Simply said, you can play 96dB dynamic range music at sound pressure levels which you won't even hear. Or at sound pressure levels which damage your ears nearly instantly.
The real problem with shifting where it appears is when the error message is not helpful. With good error messages, it's not enough of a problem to justify leaving type inference in my opinion.
But you could easily write Python 3 compatible code so that upgrading once your dependacies were ready was easy. You also could have contributed to your dependancies to help them become Python 3 compatible.

2 years ago, I replied a similar question by saying The Count of Monte Cristo is my favorite book in my youth. I finished reading the Chinese version on one day when I was 16. Since that comment my son was given the book (English) at the same age for his English class last year, he finished it in more than 1 month. I think I have failed as a parent (by not forcing him to learn to read).
Wunderlist the app was never a great example of technical prowess. From the first day it just was marketing and simplicity.

Today they likely would start from scratch anyway, the old app is now decade old or so. The real worth is all in the brand. Bringing back a somewhat beloved app, innovate it a bit here and there, this will bring them some attention and money, maybe enough to sell it again some years in the future.

It's much easier for C to be backward compatible, not because it's a system language per se but rather because it's so minimalist. You don't have problems dealing with unicode when you don't deal with unicode. You don't have a problem dealing with ranges and iterators when your most advanced looping construct is for(i = 0; i < 10; i++). Other more advanced and fully-featured system languages like C++, Rust or Go have a different story to tell and making them backward compatible comes at a significant maintenance cost.

Portability issues in C are mostly between architectures, not standard versions. The fact that "char" is normally signed on x86 but unsigned on ARM for instance is a common source of problems while porting code between these architectures. At least when you have python3 code you can be reasonably sure that it's going to run on any compliant python3 interpreter.
