Basically classical mechanics is just Schrodinger equation for sharp, small wave functions.

So you don't need to think that due to measurement classical particle pops up out of fuzzy thing that the wave function is. Instead you can think instead that due to measurement wavefunction itself reshapes to be really narrow and sharp but it still obeys same shrodinger equation. Just now thanks to sharpness you can simplify the equation a lot so it becomes classical motion equations.

>Its extremely diverse in race, languages, culture, climate, religions,genes etc.

I believe you meant ethnicity, not race. Also as for the diversity, the two major ethnicities in India are Indio-Aryan and Dravidian, at 73% and 24% respectively, leaving the rest of the 'massive diversity' spread across 3% of the population. Same holds true for language. So I'd argue that the actual ethnic/language diversity in India is rather small in practice.

> and let them assert a local hegemony

Why would they stop at local hegemony? The Chinese don't dream small scale. Without opposition; anyone would be happy seizing global hegemony. I'm not saying anyone should do anything in particular about it but the only reason China only talks about local hegemony is because anything else would get the US involved.

If the PRC maneuvers into a position where they are bigger and stronger than the United States they could become an existential threat in a way that the Soviets never really were, and they'll probably look for global hegemony if it is a possible option.

As for others here and on Slashdot, I'm not surprised. I mean, Google's thing is collecting and cross-referencing data. These are his grandparents. He's been in touch with them. His parents have been in touch with them. They're listed in phone books and other public directories etc. So it's not at all surprising that Google has linked them to him.

And hey, they even linked him to a page with the information.

Now, if this was some secret and forbidden love that they'd linked him to, that would be disturbing.

The amazing thing to me is and yet at the time nobody actually did anything. That is why he got away with it for so long, he could repeat the same thing that already got him convicted once with such impunity because everybody was willing to look away when confronted with the specifics.

Each and every one of those people underneath Ito who suspected something might be up had the opportunity to do something about it, including going to the board, and given their suspicions they should have. And yet, nobody did.
Curious where it isn't the best option. A lot of other countries have more restrictions which forces down wages.

> which as I understand it requires on the order of 100 billion euros in new financing.

Between 50 and 100 billions, yes. Which is between 1 and 2 billions per reactor.

> My understanding has been that it (the refit) applies to the remainder of the fleet after drawdown.

As I told you, even the oldest reactor are planned to be part of the plan,and it even started this year on the second oldest plant (Bugey). The oldest one being Fessenheim, which is the only one that will be closed.

> Has it been funded? Where is EDF obtaining the funds? Isn't EDF itself in need of a bailout from France

EDF has no money issue at the moment (because nobody's is counting the decommissioning, which is a different problem…). They earned 15 billion euros last year, so even if the enhancement plan were to cost 100 billions, it would be paid after 6 years, which is way profitable for something allowing you to run 20 more years.

> It seems strange to have a law passed that everyone agrees to disregard, but maybe that's how things happen.

Unfortunately It happens all the time: evrytime you see a law saying “<something> must be done in 10 years”, it's usually bullshit because the government passing the law won't be in charge at this point, so the next government will just cancel the law…

> Can you point us toward anything firm on which to base a belief that no plants other than fessenheim will be closed?

Do you really think EDF would spend 4 to 8 billions in Bugey if the plant was getting shut down 3 years after the end of the works ?

The on-screen braking indicator across the halo has been controversial as it doesn't show the various braking pressures - it's either on or off. It's misleading.

Trail braking is pretty common I think, especially without anti-lock brakes as in F1. Without it then there would be lockups at every corner as the aero effects reduce with the rapid loss in speed.

This is a bit silly,they're complaining about browsers supporting their own DoH resolution. You can configure DoH resolution at the OS level just like you would with legacy DNS,or you could use legacy DNS on the LAN and use DoH for upstream/Internet bound resolutions.

That said,I do agree that browsers being so presumptuous as to their role in assuring privacy and interoperability with users' environment is not a good thing for the internet. This is how you get regulated and this is one more thing that will force corporations to mandate IE/Edge!

DoT at the OS level sounds great.

The whole point of providing an incentive is to give a bunch of decentralized miners a reason to devote a reasonable amount of processing power to securing the blockchain. If there's only a single non-profit mining the chain, because why on earth would a bunch of other people throw money away for no reward, then for an attacker it's substantially more feasible to perform a 51% attack.

For Bitcoin there's currently around $132,000 of incentive for mining given out every 10 minutes. In a race to the bottom that basically equates to a bit under $132,000 worth of compute resources expended for mining every 10 minutes. An attacker with enough resources to perform an attack on Bitcoin would have to spend more than that $132,000 every 10 minutes and keep it up for the duration of their attack.

"Blockchain" for random hip projects more often than not is just buzzword nonsense that does nothing to improve security. A blockchain without mining is just silly, mining only works when it provides sufficient incentive such that attacking that blockchain is much more expensive than any payoff of attacking it is worth.

A model from Eastern Europe is someone that does fashion modeling and is from that area. Euphemistically it could be someone from EE that has sex for money, but you don't want to beat around the bush when describing child sex abuse.

So they should either clearly say underage-looking girls or remove that paragraph because it's irrelevant and confusing.

I mean this is a story about child abuse and the author didn't think to ask those women if the "models" looked underage?

This guy was having sex with underage teens and possibly pre-teens, not "models" and not "young women".

An integral part of quantum mechanics is the actual discrete states, ie the eigen values which it probabilistically chooses during a wave function collapse.

Hence it doesn't behave like a wave, also it doesn't behave like a particle, it behaves like a mix of both. That is quantum mechanics and we don't fully understand the maths of it yet, ie when do these waves behave like particles and when do they behave like waves ie when do the wave function collapse?

Switched to Firefox for work and home. It feels like Chrome did in the early days. No, it’s not faster than Chrome. Yes, there are a couple of dev features that I no longer find intuitive. I just mean in the sense that it is really focused on users. Chrome is focused on advertisers. The change has mostly been painless, and I’m a Web developer.

At this point I just don’t trust Google nor Chrome. All the incentives are there for Google to turn Chrome into adware. The evidence is pointing in that direction. And the trust is no longer there.

It’s funny to think about (and this is of course a gross caricature) but Chrome feels more and more like they took all the annoying adware/bloatware from the 2000s and disguised it in a browser—except they figured out how to do it without anybody noticing. Today, we are all Grandma.

Yes, it strikes me as overreaction.

I've been shocked to see in the past few years how common it is for nothing more than the implication of some unqualified 'association' between people/groups to settle folks' minds on some issue or other.

That some vague association exists between people/groups at most creates a demand for more information—it's a type of statement characterized by the giant hole in its front and center. Further, it's a type of statement whose information content is 100% latent until the hole is filled. It is a prompt for investigation—not an indictment of any kind.

Note: I have no comments on the particulars of this situation (in fact everything I've read leads me to believe a lot of people with varying degrees of guilt are being rightly exposed)—I'm only commenting on the general structure of stance-taking, information sufficiency, and valid argument forms in general.

Why would Mozilla hurt Firefox's market share in such an obvioud and drastic way? Do they not have anyone at their meetings that brings up obvious and uncomfortable risks?

I use DoH on Firefox and love it but man, I myself would block Firefox in a corporate network I help oversee if this is the default. Matter of fact, web proxies already list DoH resolvers as anonymizing sites.

Even if this involves some profit with cloudflare,this is strategically terrible for long term goals.
Every technologist should read it. My favorite passage from it:

> About 10,000 years ago, humans passed a tipping point where our ability to modify the biosphere exceeded the planet’s ability to modify us. That threshold was the beginning of the technium. We are at a second tipping point where the technium’s ability to modify us exceeds our ability to alter the technium. Some people call this the Singularity, but I don’t think we have a good name for it yet.

> Langdon Winner claims that “technical artifice as an aggregate phenomenon [or what I call the technium] dwarfs human consciousness and makes unintelligible the systems that people supposedly manipulate and control; by this tendency to exceed human grasp and yet to operate successfully according to its own internal makeup, technology is a total phenomenon which constitutes a ‘second nature’ far exceeding any desires or expectations for the particular components.”

He says that a bacterium or a sea cucumber doesn’t really think or have consciousness, but they exhibit tendencies that can be seen as behavioral desires. Similarly, the technium is a superorganism of ideas and artifacts which has entrenched itself into the global culture and economy, and that we have to understand it as separate from us so that we can discern its desires from our own. We cannot dial it back because that’s not what it wants, so we have to make sure we find a way to live in symbiosis with it.
I think you've got a really nice design going on already, and basic features seem to work without JS, so that's nice. I also like that you haven't polluted it with ads (I'm far more likely to donate to sites that don't have ads).

Two thoughts:

1. I think I would find a 5 star rating system too constraining. My opinions in most areas have more gradations than just 0-5. 0-100 would be entirely too many. I think IMDB's 10 point scale is really the main reason why I've stuck with that for movies. On the other hand I prefer to only thumbs up / thumbs down books, so I'm really not sure you can do anything about this in a way that would make everyone happy.

2. I think there's either a bug with your weighted average or else you're ranking using something like "we're 90% confident the true rating is at least x". But this confidence level seems entirely too high for the number of users you have on your site. For example Avengers: Endgame appears on #13 on this page: https://rate.house/chart/movie despite the fact that it has a rating of only 3.64. I would probably lower the confidence required for now, and if you 10x or 100x your users you can raise it again.

3. Would be nice to know a bit more about what features it has on the home page before signing up. Can I import my ratings from other sites? Can I export my data in some usable format like CSV? Can the information database the users create for media entries be downloaded by users? (Even IMDB offers this.) Can I get recommendations from the site once I've rated enough items? Can I get music recommendations based on my movie ratings? (That would be cool.)
Nah. You have a blind spot because I'm guessing you're not responsible for a developer ecosystem, otherwise you'd not spout off with absolutes, especially when you're just wrong.

These "hypothetical idiots", in my case, are developers who used the off the shelf libraries and SDKs built to spec, that rely on 3rd party cookies for things like logging in users and logging them out.

You know the number one use case for 3rd party cookies in that scenario? Ensuring no one has injected or otherwise fraudulently initiated an auth request when the IDP posts back to your site. That forgery check is now broken. In the words of a wise gent from a couple years back, congrats, you played yourself.

Want to set samesite in your language of choice? Enjoy setting headers manually now and praying, because even if your framework does have samesite support it's probably going to emit nothing if you choose none, because that's the spec.
His article says if you know the answer to his questions, then comment below.. but there isn't a below to comment in.

Well, I know the answers, and none of them are particularly interesting.

The "never saved passwords" aren't passwords, they're sites where you've clicked "never on this site" in response to a "save this password?" prompt. It has to remember which site you said that on, so that's the list of sites. Woopitty doo.

The addresses are populated from a combination of: (a) addresses you intentionally added, (b) addresses automatically saved from form-fills, and potentially (c) addresses you've saved to your Google account if you're logged in to Chrome with one. These live in the google payments app; if you have credit card on file (e.g. if you buy things from google) or if Google pays you (e.g. adsense), then the "billing address" is attached to your account. Chrome will auto-fill those addresses.

All the other speculative nonsense in his article is just that. If you give information to Google in a way that it looks like you want them to save it, then they will save it and regurgitate those details back to you when it looks like you want them to.

They don't share this information with anyone else because (and I know this sounds revolutionary, but bear with me) because you probably don't want them to.
> Haskell’s core principles, like purity and isolation of side-effects, [are] understood and appreciated by more today than ever before

If I were to summarize what I think are the most important ideas in the modern functional programming world, I would start with purity and isolation of side-effects (and the mechanisms that have arisen to manage side-effects). However, it seems like most discussion about functional programming centers on type systems and most of what gets imported to other languages is just fancy ways to do iteration. Purity and side-effect isolation, it seems, is seen as a weird curiosity that must be broken in order to write Real Software (TM). It feels like I've slowly watched functional programming get lost in translation the same way object oriented programming was.

I'm sure the past decade or two of hype around FP has done some good to real code bases by exposing new ideas to developers who might never have seen them before, but I worry that in another ten years, I'll open up someone's code and find a nested callback hell where state mutations are impossible to track.
