> Mismanagement due to incompetency can make its safety risks much higher than the projected risks. I've once asked a networking engineer from Taiwan about the nuclear protests over the Lungmen Nuclear Power Plant, he said he was against the project, not because he doesn't believe the technology, but that he has no confidence that the government is competent enough to operate it.

This is IMO a factor that is talked about far too little. It doesn't matter how safe the technology is in theory, in practice it will be run by people who are fallible, and often incompetent and/or greedy.

IMO the latter is an even bigger concern. If you can make a buck by cutting corners and flouting security protocols, someone somewhere will do it.
I hope a few people got the point.

Try to remember my post every time you hear about climate change. This little echo chamber we have on HN is only enforcing groupthink.
Yes, that is funny.

It feels a bit insane - how do you choose your secret private Bitcoin wallet key? Easy, just pick one randomly! Oh no, but someone else could pick the same key. Sure, but the probably is so vanishingly small, we really really really don't have to worry about it...

It is a bit hard to wrap your head around it, but the maths is solid (assuming, of course, that you have a good source of randomness).
Which is what I said. The watch provides more value the when younger. Middle aged to like 65 is probably the sweet spot of value. Though I guess it depends on how much you value every second of life.

One big problem is the political resistance of deep underground nuclear waste disposal repository. One should realize that currently there are already thousands buckets of nuclear waste waiting for proper disposal, and without a deep underground repository, by doing nothing and leaving them in temporary storage, the risks for the environment is much more higher.

Unfortunately, I think it's stupid, but as long as the political resistance exists, it adds a huge cost to everything nuclear. Not to mention the environmental risks of continue producing more nuclear waste without a repository. As long as there's no solution, it only makes the existing problem even greater.

There is almost no "real" deep underground disposal repository currently in operation at large scale anywhere in the world (!!!), the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in the U.S. is the most active one, but it's still more of an experimental site and cannot replace a real one. The ones in Finland and Sweden are small.

I guess you may earn some transaction fees (it's not clear what %) but you always(?) earn their crypto currency PRV. You may exchange PRV for other coins in their exchange. It's not listed in coinmarketcap (perhaps because the net is not even active) so it's difficult to know the price. I'm pessimistic, so I'd probably use approximately $0, but sometimes the word is irrational.

Maybe, but public interest is subjective. The line should probably be drawn at legal offenses. If you commit a sexual offense (e.g. sex in public) that warrants a police record, it should remain. However, if your privacy is violated by someone else when you were not committing an offense then you should have the right for that to be forgotten.
>- you are in a terrible accident

Increasingly large odds after a certain age, and not small if you do certain sports (e.g. trekking, climbing, etc) regardless of age.

In fact, older people falling accidents is so common, a proverb in a European country says: "The elderly die either from falling or while shitting" -- the original is funnier than the translation, because the two causes rhyme).

The accident doesn't have to be terrible either. Tons of run of the mill accidents leave people unconscious...

But you don't read about such cases as such.

E.g. an elder person who fell either they eventually get up in time and call for help (so you don't read any story), or they don't, and the story is "person found dead in their apartment" etc, and might or might not mention the fall...

Is it as necessary as a spare tire in your car or a fire extinguisher in your home? No. But (since the device it does other stuff too) not bad to have regardless.

Note: For certain categories, this is so needed, that there are expensive special purpose devices that are popular for certain cases (e.g. elderly with dementia, parkison, bad backs, and so on), e.g.: https://www.medicalalertadvice.com/fall-detection/

But this is a multi-purpose device, and a cool one at that, plus it has a phone attached and can call the 911 itself, and gives this ability as just another feature to everyone!

I agree with you on private schools. My other half went to a private school, and her parents were in no way wealthy. She left state education because her primary school messed her education up so much she (alongside other kids in her class) failed her Year 5 SATS and refused to take the blame for not teaching the class adequately. She went from failing in Year 5 to getting a first at uni - probably thanks to a solid private education.

With that being said, the current policy doesn't seem to be to scrap them entirely, but to remove their charity status. This does make sense, but will require more thought than what they've given so far. Removing their status ensures they're paying fair tax, but it also means that they are no longer required to share their facilities with state schools.

It's a weird policy to lead with, and the cynic in me believes they're doing so to push the class divide, in order to get more Leave voters behind them.
No, and that's specifically what this ruling is about: a French person cannot demand that a Canadian company prevent Canadians from finding information about them.

On the other end, a French person can demand that a Canadian company prevent French people from finding information about them (some exceptions might apply though). The Canadian company can also choose not to do business with the EU, in which case it doesn't have to abide by EU rules (some sites decided to do exactly that when GDPR rolled out).

This is amazing, thank you for posting this! I've been thinking along these exact lines for a very long time (especially since I just started at a university), but didn't want to speak up here because I was sure I'd get a chorus of accusations of sexism. But since you put this here, I thought I'd just give you a little encouragement.
With all due respect, this seems nice in theory but useless in practice.

Would you expect an entity (government, corporation, doesn't matter) who does not mind exploiting or torturing people (only as two examples) to worry about using software outside of what its license allows?. I can't be the only one who thinks this is naive. If you write open source software, you should assume anybody will use it for whatever needs they have that your software suits, regardless of the license.

I think there's enough Activism Lite on the world these days. If you don't like some of the awful things that are going on in the world, a license (or a twitter protest, etc) is not the way to go. It's not like The Internet suddenly made it impossible for people to do things like vote, or go protest. You know, real-life things that may have real-life impact on some of the awfulness in the world.

But this kind of compression can be better achieved I think with one core of your CPU, plaintext compression of 3x shouldn't need lzma (and if you really need to compress 22TB of plain text with no binary or multimedia files, well maybe you could compress it slightly with lz4 or a simple zlib compression before sending it).
This study seems way too low-level for the type of knowledge that you're trying to extract.

My theory is that companies in the west don't have much of an incentive to actually build plants to completion, so they don't.

It’s similar but not quite the same. In the parking problem you don’t know how many free spaces there are to begin with, and the ‘quality’ metric of each space is just a linear function of its location. In the idealized problem presented, each space as you go along the line is strictly better than every previous space - you just don’t know whether it is the last one.

The analogous secretary problem would be to be presented with a sequence of increasingly suitable candidates, but never knowing whether each candidate is the last one.

>This likely isn't a native ad (since it being one would break the law

That hardly ever stopped news outlets from doing so. In fact, in some places everybody (every outlet) does it, even though it's against the law. Of course depends on the country and how exhaustive enforcement is (and if they can just get out of it with a slap on the wrist/small fine, in the eventually they're discovered).

That said, I don't think this is the case here. A device saving someone's life simply makes for a good story (technology, human interest, feel good result, and Apple to boot, clicks all the "people will be interested" boxes), and there are stories written for a lot less ("see this curious grumpy cat" or whatever passes for new). And such a story, if written, couldn't have but a positive spin (a person's life was saved after all).

From the moment the story actually happened, it was inevitable that outlets would report it, and with a positive message for said technology.
Your first statement is highly misleading, the residential schools started in the 1800s and peaked in 1931. They were also primarily run by religious organizations. The abuse and human experimentation on the childern also predate Trudeau by decades. Yes the federal government had a role in oversight, but to pin the residential schools so completely on Pierre Trudeau is downright disingenuous and masks the complicity of many many other people.

But it was indeed a dark chapter in the history of Canada. For those of you curious about the residential schools a basic introduction can be found at: https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/residentia...

Or reported to have been. How much can we trust they were, and that huge corners weren't cut. I don't like to be cynical but all in china seems to be propaganda. For example from https://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/jul/25/chinese-rail-c...

But Hong Kong University's China Media Project said propaganda authorities have ordered media not to send reporters to the scene, not to report too frequently and not to link the story to high-speed rail development. "There must be no seeking after the causes [of the accident], rather, statements from authoritative departments must be followed," said one directive. Another ordered: "No calling into doubt, no development [of further issues], no speculation, and no dissemination [of such things] on personal microblogs!"

The whole story is worse. Difficult not to be cynical.

I've also heard that one of China's largest nuke stations was built dead on a seismic fault which could produce a known acceleration of n, but the station was designed to deal with n/3 acceleration. This is from memory and I can't find the original, so pinch-of-salt mode please.
This is not an open source license and completely incompatible with many licenses and projects.

Any existing project attempting to transition to such would get forked. New projects using it will get ignored.

This license is worse than WTFPL or the Json license (note the legal hassles that IBM had to go trough to use it). If that’s what the author wants... um... ok. But I can’t use any software using that license in personal or work projects for compatibility or fear of litigation.

You've made a great argument for a lighter laptop. Your 2017 laptop is a whopping 36% thinner than your 2015 laptop but only 11% lighter.

This modest difference in weight is mostly due to the reduced battery size that a more efficient chipset allows the newer laptop to have. The total weight of the 0.8mm thin ribbons of plastic and aluminium shaved off the plastic keys and edge of the aluminium case (the difference in key travel), is negligible compared to the weight of the laptop.

Apple could have made a laptop that was within 1% of the weight of your 2017 laptop, had a normal keyboard with good travel, and was just about 0.8mm thicker.

Normal HDDs are at least 3 times the price of tapes.

To reach only double price of tapes you must choose some super-ancient junk, e.g. 1 TB 3.5" HDDs, which are much slower than tapes and which require a huge size and weight for the same capacity as tapes.

12 TB HDDs have about the same volume as LTO-7 tapes (i.e. about the same volume as two 6 TB tapes), but they are much heavier. LTO-8 tapes have double capacity compared to LTO-7.
Mainly driven by alcoholism, and it is very well known:

> Alcohol and drug use among Inuit increased significantly between 1992 and 2004, particularly among young adults. Alcohol users consumed significantly more alcohol per drinking episode than other Canadians in both time periods. Considerable cannabis use was widespread. In 2004, no significant differences in frequencies of heavy drinking episodes were observed by gender, with 60% of drug users consuming alcohol on a regular basis.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4696457/

and the link between alcoholism and suicide is well documented:

> Various classical studies found an excess of suicide among alcoholics [73–80]. Beck and Steer [81] and Beck et al. [82] found that alcoholism was the strongest single predictor of subsequent completed suicide in a sample of attempted suicides.

> In 1997, Harris and Barraclough, in their unusually comprehensive meta-analysis analyzed 32 papers related to alcohol dependence and abuse, comprising a population of over 45,000 individuals [34]. They found that combining the studies gave a suicide risk almost six times that expected but with variation of 1–60 times. Specifically, they found that the suicide risk for females was very much greater than for males, about 20 times that expected compared with four for males. Suicide risk among alcohol-dependent individuals has been estimated to be 7% (comparable with 6% for mood disorders; [83]). Of 40,000 Norwegian conscripts followed prospectively over 40 years, the probability of suicide was 4.76% (relative risk +6.9) among those classified as alcohol abusers compared with 0.63 for non-drinkers [84]. Similar finding have been made worldwide [85]. Murphy et al. studied 50 suicides and found that an alcohol use disorder was the primary diagnosis in 23% and a co-occurring diagnosis in 37% [86]. Conwell et al. performed a study in New York City and reported that alcohol misuse was present in the history of 56% of individuals who completed suicide [43].

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2872355/

EDIT: even in Japan where there is a significant correlation between alcoholism and suicide rates (in Japanese men at least): https://www.researchgate.net/publication/5865438_Alcohol_con...
> It's easier to recover corrupted media if you know everything about the underlying format and protocols.

Sorry, I'm still not sure how knowing the LTO spec would be helpful.

You are basically asking for the "Layer 1" documentation of how the tape head write to the tape media? Given that you can only access the media via a drive, wouldn't it be sufficient to simply know the SCSI commands (T-10 SSC-x) to send? You'd then have to know the file format of the backup software (e.g., tar).
POSIX never rejected strlcpy/strlcat, because they were never submitted for inclusion. Also, POSIX doesn't control the str* namespace, ISO C does. Not that it matters, as it wasn't submitted there either.

But that's beside the point. Every major OS's libc has an implementation of strlcpy/strlcat, and OpenBSD's can be readily lifted into a project's source tree as it is portable, a simple code search will reveal the breadth of adoption. The /only/ exception is glibc now. And glibc is not a standards committee, for years the primary objections came from one person.

You're being dishonest.
