France sits on a lot of nuclear power plants with very old standards. But upgrading them is technically and/or economically impossible.
But they should increase your bayesian estimate of typical project costs for these types of projects. If we had a way of reliably preventing bad project management such things wouldn't happen.
Interesting; I didn't think I'd see an HL7 reference in this thread. I work somewhat with FHIR, which also has a HumanName[1] data type, and I think it handles most of the cases in this thread.

For those not familiar: FHIR is a standard that covers health and patient data. IMO, it's a pretty good model. (HL7 is the organization, and there are few other standards under it.)

I'm less familiar with RIM; could you link to it's definition of a name? (The best I could find suggested that it was nothing more than an unconstrained piece of text.)

One stereoscopic ultra-HDR 4K camera would be fine... if it was backed by a strong AI. To even suggest that ML is anywhere wen remotely close to this level is the height of hubris.
I spent a good five minutes on the article and didn't see any actual code. It is sacrilege to introduce a new programming language without even a "Hello World."

I love the name, and I love the concepts talked about, but you didn't give me enough to convert me into a believer now.
What gets me is that people are willing to write the same code dozens of times. It’s just a tool in their toolbox. It never seems to occur to them that our job is substantially about automating predicable things.
Author here. Some of my thoughts on the future of crypto. I have a fairly different view from traditional crypto space. I think people focus too much attention on the tech, less on monetary policy. If we want to move the space forward, we need more experimentation in monetary policy.

This figure sounds excessive, and it's not clear what is counted: no break down between high-level/low-level waste, and does not state if this is before or after chemical reprocessing, if this is before or after vitrification.

Going from first principles, France has 133 GWe of nuclear capacity, and each Gw reactor produces 27t of unprocessed waste a year. France reprocesses used fuel, of which > 95% is un-burnt uranium - this goes back into reactors.
Conservative estimate suggest that they produce <200t of waste a year. That's 3g per person!
Of that, only 1/5 is real long-lived waste.

There is no industrial process that produces less waste. These volumes are easily manageable.

We have a lot of unused land that could be filled with solar panels: rooftops. Until every suitable roof is plastered with them, I don't think that we have a land issue. Similarly for wind, the problem is not that we don't have the land, the problem is NIMBYs that don't want turbines to "ruin their view".
I've in the past written stuff that generated an index of names; this was sorted. While you can certainly sort on a free-form text field, the culture here is that name indexes are generally sorted by family name. So, to do that, you have to have some understanding of what the family name is, which a free-form text field does not give you.

But a lot of software has no need for the breakdown, and would be better served by a free-form field.
> mind boggling to think people trust this crap

It's also mind boggling to think we currently trust organic tissue to do this crap, some of which is bathed in psychoactive chemicals.

And yet we do, and as a result, horrendous catastrophes occur every minute of every day.

> It's all fancy neural networks until someone dies

No, that can't be the standard, not when people are dying right now in the current regime.

Unless the new regime kills and maims at a higher rate than the current regime, there is no reason for fear.
The go to example of this will always be Kodak.

Steven Sasson invented the first digital camera (and a device to display it on) in 1975 while working at R&D at Kodak. He had a fully functional DSLR by 1989, complete with memory cards. Kodak never released his work, never manufactured that camera. They kept the patent of the work and sat on it, and when others tried to innovate and create a digital camera, Kodak sued them with that patent and kept suing people right up until the patent ran out in 2007. By 2012, the company was bankrupt.

Innovation, true innovation that really pushes technology forward, is anathema to the average business.
Germany invested a lot very early into technology building for mass production of efficient PV. The cheap mass production in China came later...
It’s a little different in that textbook companies can find authors who may or may not present the information well and then help them with editing and sales.

Also, in general, the very best books can only be written by a subject expert who can coherently hold enough of the subject in his/her head to find out how to express it. It’s rare but exists (tannenbaums operating systems for example?)

Considering PHP's pseudo-Java verbosity I wouldn't exactly classify it as a fast-to-develop language. Doc-block comments are an abomination if you come from Ruby,Python or Javascript and if you follow the numerous PSRs to the letter you're lucky if you can fit a couple of lines of real code on a screen surrounded as they will be by space-wasting blank lines, doc-block annotations and KR-style braces.
RaptorJIT is working well for Snabb but it's not clear what other projects can benefit from it. We're using Lua to compete with C while most other projects seem to be using it to compete with Go/Python/node. So for the moment I'm not actively courting new users because I don't find many kindred spirits in the wider LuaJIT community.

EDIT: To clarify, the big advantage of RaptorJIT is that it takes dramatically less time and effort to profile and optimize programs to become competitive with C. If you're spending a lot of time scratching your head over long 'jit.dump' reports then RaptorJIT will save you lots of time. That's a big win for Snabb hackers but we seem to spend much more time on JIT-optimization than other LuaJIT users.

(Anecdotally it seems like most other LuaJIT users eventually give up on understanding the JIT entirely because they don't see it as being worth the effort. This doesn't really bode well for LuaJIT world domination.)

All these large-scale energy storage projects are in their infancy. I haven't heard of anyone breaking ground on a project multi-GWh capacilty. Until that happens, it's all hypothetical.

Also, I am no expert on the subject, but digging out underground reservoir sounds expensive.
That's probably true. I'm paying around 70 USD per month for Azure Functions (an equivalent of AWS Lambda) because they charge like crazy for disk read/writes and my application is quite tiny, definitely could fit on a raspberry pi. But I don't bother to optimize.

If the author hadn't posted about this experience, no one at YC would've made a public post saying they interviewed him.

Indeed, that would be a bit on the weird side if YC made a post saying "we spoke to someone from Checkly, his sense of humor was kinda funny."
Do you belittle everyone that gets second place in the Olympics because the winner is "way ahead"?

Your comment just reeks of anger and hostility.

It seems like you'd rather Tesla didn't try at all, and instead we all just give up and go back to the status quo.
You pay a premium for flexibility. If you need a single dev server today and it is 50-50 that you will either need 100 servers next year or 3, then AWS or another cloud provider is the logical choice. AWS reserved instances can also give you a discount that makes the price competitive with regular dedicated servers. Note that you can also request a dedicated host on AWS EC2 and have a server reserved just for you.

I just want to de-normalize that a bit: blogs should strive for high standards, even though some don’t. They are a major form of information these days!
Probably never. DNSSEC has been in the works for over 20 years, and has practically no real-world deployment.
In Céu, an `await` statement is ceding execution to the scheduler. It is the point at which a trail goes to sleep until being woken up again. So "bounded" here means "is guaranteed to go to sleep again (or terminate) after being woken up". The language does not compile code loops if it cannot guarantee that they terminate or not have an `await` statement in every loop.

I'll try to explain how the "instantaneousness" matters for the sake of modelling determinism. Take the example of reacting to a button press: whenever an external button press event comes in, all trails that are currently awaiting that button press are awakened in lexical order. Now imagine that there are multiple trails in an infinite loop that await a button press, and they all take longer to finish than the speed at which the user mashes a button. In that case the button events are queued up in the order that they arrive. If the user stops then eventually all button presses should get processed, in the correct order.

The idea is that external events get queued up in the order that they arrive, and that the trails react in deterministic fashion to such a sequence events: if the exact same sequence of events arrives faster or slower, the eventual output should be the same. So while I might produce congestion if I mash a button very quickly, it should have the same results as when I press them very slowly.

Now, you may think "but what if you were asked to push a button every two seconds, with a one second time-window? Then the speed at which you press a button does matter!" Correct, but in that case the two second timer and one second time window also count as external events, and when looking at all external events then it again only matters in what the order in which all of these external events arrive at the Céu program.

Lacking further knowledge about Rust I obviously cannot say anything about the rest of your comment, but I hope you're right about the `Future` combinators because I really enjoyed working with Céu's concurrency model.
I feel empathy for even nonhuman animals, so yes I agree sometimes it can be a problem. Especially when empathizing with psychopaths and sociopaths. They have the worst feelings of all.

You can only put nuclear power plants next to sufficiently large rivers that can provide cooling. On the other hand you can put solar panels pretty much on every roof and wind turbines in any place with sufficiently low NIMBY density and a bit of wind.

Their service to SEA is terrible. Competition here would be nice to CA/AZ but Delta is very reliable and inexpensive (plus it flies the superior Airbus equipment) to Phoenix, so that's a tough route to win.
this tech is interesting but so poorly understood that it's just using the (public) roads as one large alpha test. given a NN there is no way to verify what safety ranges are there. for instance if each camera slightly changed exposure or occlusion are the results smoothly changing? all they can do is try it and hope the inputs are in a safe part of their optimization space.
When you're lobbying to destroy a competitor, it's hard to just pass a law explicitly prohibiting their industry. Media outlets will start asking why, and "because it causes coal companies to lose business" isn't a PR-compatible answer.

So the first thing you do is convince everybody that it's dangerous. Equate power generation with bombs, make a big deal about radioactive waste that lasts for thousands of years as if that's more problematic than ordinary chemical waste which lasts indefinitely, that sort of thing.

Once you've got everybody good and scared, demand safety rules. Paranoid, highly bureaucratic rules. Rules with much higher standards than the rules we use for other industries with a similar risk profile. As much red tape as possible. Make it so you can't unclog a toilet without an engineering study supervised by a team of attorneys. Make everything as arduous and expensive as possible and if anybody objects, accuse them of compromising safety.

Then tell everybody that we shouldn't build nuclear because it costs too much.
To downvoters: it's a waste of time to discus nuclear waste without realising that 95% is the original fuel and only 1% of it is the actual long-lived waste.

Is there something in the tone of my comment you are unhappy about?

The biggest miracle of all is the Resurrection of Jesus which was verified by many people including over 500 people who all saw him at once. There is an overwhelming amount of evidence attesting to its historicity. It’s why the Catholic Church even was able to begin!

But you bring up a good question: why aren’t these things recorded or seen more publicly? Well, you know the major theory around why spam has so many obvious warning signs like major typos, unprofessional fonts, and silly plots? It’s to filter out everyone but the most gullible and desperate. God uses the same principle. He makes situations where it’s like 99.9% an obvious certainty but leaves 0.1% possibility for doubt, for those people who just don’t want to believe.

There’s no shame in using a want to believe as your starting point for investigating it. Check out resources online for the historicity or the Resurrection from a Catholic point of view (the only intellectually satisfying denomination) and you’ll find that it’s so extremely probable to the point of being basically verified.
You are right. They have me fooled with their 150 offer. I should have googled about it.
Splitting things up into multiple independent translation units enables incremental compilation. One function per file is the most extreme version of this. For example:

Weird is in the eye of the beholder.

I personally would love to see publicly something like “Me and Paul (and/or Paul) reviewed Ron’s application in 2010 and decided not to invite him to an interview because of XYZ”.

It’ll be entertaining.

Technically DANE could be used for this today, but you’d have to get the web browser vendors aboard in order to implement it, and I’m afraid that it might go over about as well as support for SRV records.
> * There's no real email spoofing problem anymore because we have signatures proving the source on every email.*

(I assume that you are referring to DKIM, and not OpenPGP or S/MIME, since the latter two are obviously not frequently used.)

DKIM signatures (not to mention DMARC to actually require a signature) are not actually that common either. Spoofing is mostly still rejected by a combination of plain old SPF and spam filtering of the mail contents. All in my experience, of course.

> There's a phone spoofing problem because carriers are allowing spoofing, when they don't have to.

Is this what Europe is doing which the U.S. isn’t? If it is, then you’re probably right. I don’t actually know. I’m just saying that whatever Europe is doing is evidently working, and any other proposed solution would have some significant benefit and proof of efficacy to be considered over a proven concept.
This thread, and most importantly your comment, only serve to reify the Go programming language community's toxicity.

In theory yes, I’d hope to see that across the board, but fat fingering happens way too often on top of the reuse of mrn’s.

Migration Monster’s New Partner Program for IT Companies and MSPs
A UK leading Mailbox migration provider Migration Monster (www.migration-monster.com) has recently introduced a new channel partner program to help MSPs & IT companies make the most out of using their SaaS based email migration tool. With this, they will be able to add value to their Office 365 / MS Exchange service offerings & open new business opportunities.

"Along with very competitive price offerings with full sales & marketing support, we want our partners to feel confident and continuously give us feedback so that we can make this tool even better." says Paul Sturges, Technical Director, Migration Monster. “With active participation & involvement from all our partners & clients in our product road map has made this product more stable and reasons to smile with confidence.”

Migration Monster’s priority technical support with a dedicated account manager has been admired by its partners - which is most important under this partnership. Rewarding sales goals, ongoing discounts, extensive product training etc are other cool benefits that all partners enjoy!

Additionally, Migration Monster will call on its network of approved partners when asked for mIgration expertise.

Happy Migrating!
Yeah, apparently it is not that obvious as on HN these 3 you named were worshipped here, negative/critical comments downvoted, while objectively the writing was on the wall. Wework being the most obvious to me personally; that was a shitshow from the start and yet people here actually believed that would succeed.
You seem to use "regulated" as in "forbidden" right now, but maybe I am misreading so can you elaborate?

Today thousands are dying every year on the road, are we just forbidding cars entirely?

How many incidents/deaths per miles driven? How does it compare to all the other transportation systems?
The cost you will pay for this is nearly chronic stress. Also you will find that the start of that 'last minute' tends to creep closer and closer to the deadline as a natural consequence of you still managed to make the deadline last time.
I find that amassing books or tools easily becomes a surrogate for actually putting in the effort to learn about a subject or do a project. When something piques my interest, it's pretty easy to just go online and order some stuff and get the satisfaction of having done something without having to put in much effort.

Then once the thing arrives my attention has been directed somewhere else and I'm much less motivated to actually read or do anything with the thing, and it just goes on the pile.

At least for doing practical projects, I've found that poverty is much more conducive to getting things done. Having to make do with what's avilable, free or cheap, and not getting distracted by shopping for the perfect solution. Likewise, I find that some of the most creative people on YouTube tend to be either pretty young or extremely frugal.

They are slow to act because it is unclear whether it is justified in the law for them to block what they believe is spam or if a customer wants to receive a call.

Section 202 of Telecommunications Act details that telecoms cannot discriminate connections so they have been unwilling to block spam if it can lead to breaking the law[1]. The FCC has been trying to change that by rolling out new guidance on what can definitely be blocked[2]. One of the new rules defines a new legal safe harbor for carriers that block calls that are unauthenticated using a new protocol that is expected to be rolled out by year end, 2019.
