I think there may still be merit to the op’s case that we should distinguish between the risk of a nuclear attack and the risk of a nuclear exchange (or, “nuclear Armageddon”).

Some of the scenarios I outlined—rogue non-state actors, regional wars—may lead to isolated nuclear attacks but not full exchanges. I’m not sure if the hydrogen bomb distinction is relevant here.

(Yes, afaik what you say is true, but I think this is sort of a red herring.)
Nobel Prize Facts
As far as I’m concerned, the whole field of web design peaked in 1999 when this website was made:

Enable Flash, turn up the sound and whatever you do, do NOT skip the intro.
What Adobe destroyed is the community existing around Macromedia products. It was just unprecedented to my knowledge. Most Macromedia solutions were extremely easy to use AND improve via plugins. You could use Javascript to easily create add-ons for Flash, or Fireworks, or Dreamweaver and there was that "community" aspect that did not exist with Adobe product.

And then Macromedia got "Eloped"...

It's crazy how Adobe never leveraged that community and just pissed everybody off then it died out...

There was also that kind of "friendly" competition where teams add to come up with the most bad ass interactive experience and brands had huge budgets to promote this or that product. It was an healthy relationship between marketing and creativity. Everybody even now, remember at least some Flash websites. "2advanced" anybody? Who remembers the design of the web sites they visit today? It's all the same.

Obviously at some point, Flash ads became a nuisance, and mobile kind of killed it in the browser...

> Flash would likely have then been on a track towards full standardization and native support in browsers.

Unfortunately no, because TC39 rejected Ecmascript 4. Ironically, Microsoft who is responsible for Typescript is to blame for that. Because they had their own solution "Silverlight", it was short-sighted.
Thanks. I've opted out of organ donation and I'm informing everyone I know to do the same.
One trick is to write about a blog post about an interesting problem you solved for your site. If you meet a technical friend that you have not seen in a month, and s/he ask if something interesting happened in your site, what would you tell?

One of the problems with free images is that they don't own the images they sell. Are you drawing them? Are you hiring someone in Fiverr? Do you have a problem hiring freelancers? How long does it take to draw one? How do you change the pallete of a graphic if you decide to make it darker or lighter? Do you have chargebacks or credit card fraud?

Assume people here has a technical background, but are not graphic experts [1]. Something that is usual in graphics may be interesting for general public, but not if it only a button in Photoshop.

If your English is not very good, get someone to read and fix it. Or at least write it in MSWord or some editor with orthographic and grammar correction. This is not very important for HN but it's important for the general public.

As an example, you can see the posts of bemmu about his site candyjapan https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=candyjapan.com

[1] I usually draw in Paintbrush, when it is complicated I use Gimp, and some times Inkscape.
"Flash died with good intentions" is false. Flash died because it was the perfect tool for making mobile content, if not for the fact that it was sluggish on early iphone hardware. If Apple worked with Adobe to optimize flash for mobile, it would still be alive and well today. Instead Jobs decided business wise he could lock devs into developing native apps in the iOS ecosystem, scapegoat performance and security for the ban, and gain a competitive advantage at the same time.
Disclaimer: old timer

As someone who wrote a complete 3d modeller for a game, including animation, even before 3dsmax was a thing, I was surprised when a few years later (10+) I saw how easy the Flash UI was to understand, especially the way keyfames were added. The UX was rather extraordinary. Unfortunately even at that time (early iPhone) because Flash was so synonymous with security flaws, I would regularly uninstall it. Since then, I've yet to see a solution that's as easy to use and doesn't have some kind of vendor lock in (like Flash did). Maybe I haven't looked hard enough tho.

As much as I personally disliked the artistic Flash- only sites at the time, hindsight shows that they were rather invaluable. We lost a lot of diversity when Apple killed it off.

I've seen a lot of these types of startups in London -- Nez, Karma, Ritual, Mealpal, Eaten, Olio.

But my question for all of these companies is how do you make money (or plan to) and how do you sustainably create deals which attract people to your platform?

Our whole office used Mealpal until their VC money dried up and their £2 lunches stopped happening. And we used Nez for their £1 falafel wraps/satay boxes and then promptly deleted the app. How will you stop this? Or are those losses you're willing to take?
I think that's arguable. You're completely within your rights to refuse an unlawful order from a police officer. That it usually would lead to you getting shot reflects poorly on our society, not on the judgement of the person refusing the unlawful order.
Life goes on. It’s beautiful, and mankind needs to acknowledge its minuscule place in the grand scheme of things.
You are right; I wanted to give a general idea. And if you've ever written software for Itanium, you'd know that relying on evaluation rules in an if statement is a dangerous thing to do!
Wow -- the engineering cleverness is actually really incredible (using heat expansion of the nichrome wire to automatically lower the bread! fully mechanical closed-loop monitoring of bread surface temperature!). Tempting.

So you would be in favor of banning advertising of meat products and levying a sin tax on meat? While we're at it, why don't we just make being poor or sick illegal? Sorry, I mean that we should impose a tax on them, because they impose externalities on society.

I'm just wondering, are you in favor of such schemes that would target things you like and enjoy too? Say, computer use. Extended computer use is harmful to people's health, so we should levy a tax on it.
Amazon leans heavily on convenience to sell lots of stuff. If I have to read a handful of reviews and cross my fingers whenever getting a legitimate product is important, is it really so convenient?
So far the market says yes, but I sure would move elsewhere if there was an elsewhere.

I don't need a license for my washing machine. I understand how the functions on my washing machine work less than I do my user facing car controls.

I don't work at AWS (and haven't) but I do work in the world of big infra and my wild-ass guess is that the user stuff in AWS doesn't run as consistently hot as the SaaS stuff that Amazon runs itself.
I knew I'd fallen down the rabbit hole when my dad and I started going in on 50lb sacks of wheat berries from Eastern Washington (I'm in Seattle). I can't remember, I think it's like 20 or 30 dollars a sack. I have a mill attachment for a KitchenAid, it's not awesome but it does the trick. My dad bakes 100% ground berries (so completely whole-wheat, by definition), but I mix it with bread flour -- using whole wheat to feed the sourdough starter.

It produces an absolutely incredible flavor. If you give it a slow proof and bake in a cast iron dutch oven, you get these amazing cinnamon and nut smells as it bakes. Just the most delicious bread.

>Authors ignore the power storage problem, which causes lots of energy to be wasted.

This "problem" is why we need nuclear. You can't store power generated by solar and wind, so when the sun goes down or the wind dies down, the power goes out unless you rely on some other source. Nuclear can work every hour of the day. It's the only power generation method which can supply power at every hour of the day and can be deployed almost everywhere (hydroelectric is neat but you're screwed if you don't have a good river). All these other "problems" have been written about extensively by specialists, just not by journalists.

As for the rest of your problems with nuclear specifically, I don't think you're comparing the negatives of nuclear with the negatives of literally any other power source.

The real reason we won't go nuclear is that Democrats and progressives don't like it because it's scary and makes them quake at night. We could use nuclear as one tool in fighting climate change, but we aren't willing to do that. We're dying by our own hands.
My process based on the book “Make it stick: the science of successful learning” and trial and error.

Before you begin, have a single source of truth for your daily goals whether its a calendar, todo list etc. I like a paper agenda notebook, my favorite layout is the emergent task planner from David Seah and the roterunner on amazon. A quick note on process: you want your schedule to be flexible and fault tolerant but specific, actionable and accountable. I like to block times of day for an activity and have a general idea of my goals for that day. I keep a big weekly todo list for each activity and chip away at it each week. You want to give yourself the least possible amount of choices each hour of your day but be able to tolerate errors in estimating time for a goal.

Write down a purpose, of what u want to get out of the book. Thing back to the learning objectives on a syllabus in college, these should be specific.

Look at the outline, take inventory of the topics you want to cover and their chapters/sections.

Now schedule some block of time in your calendar, agenda, etc each week to study the book.

Now when studying a chapter/section: first survey for a summary, practice questions, exercises etc. to get an overview.

Start by answering the exercises, making predictions about a section and generally pre testing your knowledge of the topic. Based on some psychological studies in the book, the more you challenge your mind the more connections your brain makes thus improving learning.

Next read through the section in order to fill in the gaps identified in your pre test phase, this purpose based reading improves retention. Dont underline, copy sections into notes, highlight etc these arent worth the time.

Now create a diagram, outline or other summary of the text for your notes without copying things from the book. Try to do it in your own words.

Finally, go back to the exercises you didnt complete or revisit your pretest questions and answer them. This greatly increases retention. Quizzing yourself is the best way to learn.

In summary the way you tackle 2k pages of material is the same way you do in school. Weekly work towards the goal with practice, clear objectives, creating study guides and outlines and testing yourself.
That's true, but it's probably covered in the privacy notice. It doesn't make a difference that the data is shared outside of EU, it just has to be communicated to the user.

Also, the data shared here is not personal information, unless it's connected with personal information such as IP address or a tracking cookie.

This is pretty gray area. Apple isn't necessarily sharing information with Google, it's just the property of Internet traffic that Google / Tencent can collect the IP address from the request. Same happens when websites include resources from other websites (images, scripts, etc.), and these are not typically taken into account in GDPR privacy notices.
If they can't store it, they shouldn't be allowed to vent or flare it, plain and simple.
>Just like we don't have as many fun quirky geocities-like websites. The issue isn't the lack of Flash, it's that the web as a whole has grown up and changed.

We somehow dodged the iPads for kindergarteners bullet but that would have made my blood boil. I guess the FingerPaint app is less messy than actual fingers and actual paint.

In my less charitable moments I think teachers are getting lazier, but when I go to those parent conferences and see the teaching staff looking like rabbits in the spotlight as parents of 3rd graders grill them on the latest academic theories I realise that really they're caught in the middle of a whole set of weird expectations.

Because it is significantly more cumbersome. With email you get the file literally attached to the message talking about it, and you store that away and can always find the file and the context for it in the same place.
So it's not that the blockchain or exchange systems where insecure, only that tokens available at the ICO were being sold below par to investors? Setting aside the giant red flag that is refusing to accept a subpoena, if the ICO tokens are revalued to take away the discount to early investors would it then be legal?
Wickeditor is meant to be something like that: https://www.wickeditor.com/#/
both things. cto is great, but you'll have to spend a lot of effort to explain your side of it and that you weren't removed by cause. if someone ever brings it up, then you explain, and say that you weren't hiding it, you were wanting to avoid wasting time on a confusing situation and you are happy to discuss it.

I wanted to buy an authentic copy of the Ashley Book of Knots.

When I searched Amazon it became so obvious that most the matches were deliberately of ambiguous provenance and authenticity that I simply abandoned the whole idea and haven't bought a thing on Amazon since. This was over a year ago.
I don't think your TLDR accurately covers the entire article, but fine. As for the rest, the big thing missing is that the per-capita energy consumption has been on the rise for as long as we have electricity. It's at 2.5 MWh/y or thereabouts. As developing countries move up on the ladder their consumption will increase, drastically so.

This is going to cause substantial challenges.

Personally, I'd love to see a Manhattan style project to get us to fusion. We know that it can be done, we have a shining example for proof of that every day.

And in the meantime throw every $, Euro or Yen aimed at more nuclear power based on fission either at the fusion project or at renewables. You can build an awful lot of windmills for the price of one nuclear plant, and you can do it a lot quicker too.
“en_US” is “American English”, not “English on a Phone in america”. The alternative “zh-*” codes are SG, TW, or HK. It’s checking if the user has their region set to “Mainland Chinese”, not That their phone is “Chinese on a phone in China”.
Fracking is not the only answer. It is the cheapest answer. Traditional drilling still gets gas, but it costs more. On the flip side, fracked wells die off faster. When I worked in the natural gas industry, all the engineers told me that fracking was a great shorter-term plan, but it scared them because it would have all the younger wells drying up at about the same time as the older traditionally drilled wells, and they foresaw a bad convergence of both kinds of wells dying off at the same time coming in our future.

At the same time, it doesn't seem clear at all that methane is less harmful than CO2, so arguing that we're emitting less CO2 is only part of the story.
The important bits of Flash were not so much the capabilities of the player but the tooling to be creative. Flash found so many niches from animation, games, applications, being embedded for UI rendering and on because it provided an agnostic tool to make all these things in, really easily.

In terms of capabilities though there was much less worry about compatibility.
The point is that their system is not really more useful than the alternatives. But once you convinced a country through your PR, they'll be locked in and the cost of switching to something marginally better (and less costly) may not be worth it. So no, just that they have customers is not proof that it's the best option.

Also, "if it's not useful, it won't have customers for long" is quite obviously wrong. See e.g. essential oils, homeopathy and so on.
So, let me get this straight. To go faster... all I need to do is ignore security. Got it.
I hear this a lot, but where was the Android or BlackBerry or Windows phone that ran Flash acceptably fast, and without weekly security holes?

Mobile killed Flash. It was a poorly implemented technology which was acceptable only during the era where electric power was unlimited, and people were in the habit of frequent reboots to update their OS anyway.
> so when the sun goes down or the wind dies down, the power goes out unless you rely on some other source.

Power can be transmitted reasonably efficiently over very long distances. Long enough that this need not be a problem.

Solar is more predictable than wind in this respect but the combination is more reliable than either alone.
Youtube has no interactivity either.
One would think the resistance to crypto has more to do with it's basic value proposition. Watching 4 years of every crypto coin functioning as a honeypot trap for the naive, then exploding, leaves a mark. Bitconnect making billions from scamming people rings truer in my mind than some vague ageism.
If you work in tech startups or video games layoffs are just another part of the employment cycle.
What HiQ did was scrape public data, so if you have your LI profile set to public, then anyone can access it and do what they will with it, just like if you posted a print out of it on a bulletin board in a mall. It's in the open and is free game for whtever. You can make your entire profile or just aspects of it private, meaning people need to login to LI to see your stuff, which then protects you under the TOS.

I think profiles were default public so you could be found on Google and for SEO purposes for both you and LI.

You'd be hard pressed to find a public profile accessible anymore on LI anyway, even with public settings, you'll hit an authwall 9 out of 10 times.
By that argument you could justify any restriction of peoples freedom.

Ultimately if the state chooses to provide such services, then it must accept the costs that come along with it.
There is no Amazon fork of the Elasticsearch repository. I looked at their repositories. they are copying the oss build of elasticsearch unmodified, without patches.

As for the licensing; licensing is documented in a 10 line LICENSE.txt. Also, it would be hard to miss the license settings, when you set this up. Hard to miss unless you are a seriously dyslexic and negligent person. In which case, I'd argue the Elastic basic license is the least of your problems.
Where are you shopping? Proper indépendant boulangeries? Or Carrefour and Auchan?
No, we're not dealing with it at all. We are just keeping it around because we don't really have a solution. The stuff that was stored decades ago lies mostly untouched, and if it has been touched it is usually because the containment failed and there have been leaks.
SMB shares or the like are pretty much universal in such a situation. I generally tend toward making something available on a file share and emailing a link, but because of permissions and access controls, email is generally easier, especially for transient files that really don't need to be permanently saved. Never once have I used Dropbox or Google Drive in such a situation, even with very small companies.
> Flash died because of Apple

Hehe. Not really. Jobs may have put one nail in the coffin, but Adobe killed flash. And flash was already dying because of abusive ads and HTML5 before Apple said anything. Here’s one of the Flash developers backing that up: https://m.slashdot.org/story/324267
A while ago I did this for a few analysis text books that I was working through: Baby Rudin, Big Rudin, Calculus on Manifolds, and a couple of others.

As I was working through the books I would capture every numbered definition or theorem in a table, along with all of the explicit cross-references or implicit dependencies. Then I wrote a little D3 app to visualise the graph, with a few customisable views. E.g what is the dependency structure of the chapters? What is the full list of dependencies for a given theorem?

The result is actually pretty interesting, and the different levels of rigor that different authors choose really comes through. I would love to have a few weeks to sink into this project properly and make a public tool out of it.
Using your previous generation gear as server when upgrading works very well too. Even a 5 year old i5 or whatever has plenty left for server duty

I agree. Which items are cheaper than competitors are really hit and miss. Some of Costco's have higher quality, though. I think that Aldi sells singles cheap by stocking cases with 1-3 stockers keeping the whole store up proves Costco could've done that. They should try doing it Aldi-like with higher-quality brands.
