By the US Government, nuclear regulatory agencies, the state governments, and above all ignorant people who are afraid of the word "nuclear" and anything associated with it, because they've never understood the idea that nuclear energy can mean something other than "bombs".

For a new plant type to be built, it first has to be approved by the US government. Then funding has to be acquired, insurance bought, permitting done. Unless the US government makes an effort to clear the way for new construction, all that overhead and cost makes new reactor types a non starter for any for profit business.

They could build more of the older types, but with the unreasoning fear associated with nuclear anything in the US population going on, the cost of doing so is ridiculous... and most of these companies don't much care about climate change anyway. They're about profit.

Could we try to be less orwellian? Are we really banning people who say things we don't like on YouTube?
Is #2 even possible? Which phone providers accept prepaid cards and no way to verify the user's identity?

For #7, make sure you do VPN over Tor, not Tor over VPN. The former is more secure for you, and has the additional benefit that sites won't know you're using Tor. The latter sucks for you and Tor if you relay any traffic.

I don't understand. Are people mad because he posted a picture of himself in a maga hat? That seems awfully milquetoast. You know you live in a bubble when you want to black-list half the nation for a common political view.

Edit: it seems that people are annoyed because he's tied to a guy named John Sonmez. Any context on why this guy is bad? It looks like he caters to the same crowd Jordan Peterson does, but hasn't said anything offensive? The most I can find are references to "SJW"s, which doesn't sound particularly bad (especially when you consider what people on the "other side" say/do).
So outside this individual case, how open or public should these types of decisions be made? For transparency, shouldn't people that are part of the community know when these actions/accusations take place and what/how decisions were made?
we use azure data explorer for a lot of data storage. It is a terribly boring name but it highly performant at a large range of data sizes, stores rectangular (table) data with clear schematization, and uses the piping type of syntax of tidyverse. I love it. I really wish they would rebrand and market it more.
Businesses have burnt job security to the waterline and demanded more mobility of workers. Meanwhile, they have concentrated jobs in high-cost-of-living cities while completely ignoring Rust Belt bargain prices. Incumbent NIMBYs have quashed higher-density housing construction. Nobody can confidently expect to stay in one place for the minimum 5 years it generally takes to break even on selling one's primary residence with a 30-year mortgage.

It's a perfect storm for living in a van down by the river--or at least renting for a long, long time.
This seems like a fast way to get de-anonymized. Not that hard to track backward from those posts to a localbitcoin purchase, even through attempts at obfuscating the source.

For the threat model described in the post here, if an adversary can narrow you to one of hundreds or thousands of possible sources, you've lost.
> It's unlikely that a company needs to invest in data scientists or even thinking very hard about their data organization until the scale of their data is already pushing the bounds of what most RDMMSs can handle.

I disagree. Data science is largely about applying and interpreting data, and the value of that isn't really dependent on having data that is problematic for RDBMSs due to scale.
I do hope they are consuming from landfills, otherwise you might have more pressing issues ^ ^
> Someone is accused of breaking the CoC. The governing body expels this person in a public an explicit way. Looking into the details shows that really that person was just not following $GROUP_THINK.

Note that this is pretty much what you would predict if CoC's were inherently politicized statements, as much as a MAGA hat. Which is exactly what opponents of CoC's have been contending for a long time.
Just because you don't understand other peoples' value systems, that doesn't mean they're irrational.
people who end up on opposite sides of this argument are usually talking about two different things:

1) Do we build exactly enough solar to meet our average power needs but have to build several-month-long battery storage capacity to bring summer sun into the winter,

2) Or do we build enough surplus solar so that we can run 100% load for 24 hours on a cloudy winter solstice, and just need big enough batteries to get through the longest night of the year, and under every other circumstance just be wildly over-provisioned

#1 is probably impossible with current technology. But our solar installations already produce surplus power during the summer that we don't use ("curtailment"), even at today's prices. It doesn't seem out of the question that we'd just build much more absurd extra solar to make up for our lack of storage. And then maybe we'd find a use for the excess summer electricity, like desalination or hydrogen production or bitcoin mining. It's technically possible, but it does increase costs - twice as expensive? three times? That might still be economically viable, if solar costs continue to fall or if the cost of natural gas spikes upward
No, transparency was the topic being discussed! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21483935
Why not just keep both? Keep the domain name. Call the product LogoJoy. Brand it LogoJoy, a Looka company. Or LogoJoy, by Looka. Just changing names seems monumentally risky, in my opinion.

you will engange yourself in a fight which is not yours. you will waste time on meaningless things, rather than caring about your own stuff which is much more time worthy.

in the end you will find yourself in a situation where you will realize that what you thought was your own opinion was much more a copy of what others said and what you've been told. you will give up because it isnt worth the time and you will go back to your own roots and yourself with the words: "well. guess Ive wasted a year or two."

time is the most precious thing you have in this life.

Of course they can. It doesn't take more than 2 years to setup a solar/wind farm, meanwhile a nuclear plant takes an average of 7 years to build and deploy.

Solar is especially good at this, because with the right incentives you can have people put it on their roofs - it's the sort of scaling that's impossible to achieve in megaprojects like nuclear power plants.
It wasn't Opbeat. But from that same thread, interesting to see how zeeg's views on licensing have changed:

Does this count as a social credit system?
It isn't. I would read up on how the Fed was created. The choice of cities was political (that is why Missouri has two, iirc) and related to the situation in 1913 when the Fed was created (in particular, the cyclical demand for money from agriculture).

Now, it makes almost no sense to move them. After 1935, the Banks have had fairly limited power.

Linear: JIRA Killer in Making?
Thanks for this, I was entertaining the idea but this sounds exhausting.
Seconding that. Several ‘AI’ startups I worked with, do not require a massive amount of data to create MVPs/first releases.

The do however invest early in sufficient data science functions to have a good liaison between the researchers and data acquisition.
That is an arbitrary distinction that I have never heard anyone in the industry make before.

The answer is in the parent's comment. They used protobufs, so I guess there's no JNI, just a simple RPC over a local socket.
I don't think that's completely true; plenty of the new cards are quite imaginative. I think there's just a greater degree of imposed consistency in the design.

For some counterexamples to your point, look at any of the art by Seb McKinnon.

Someone told Gitlab they'll pay them $XXX/year but only if Gitlab has no employees in China/Russia in sensitive roles. Gitlab decided the money is worth it since they have bills to pay. Doesn't seem very mysterious to me.

There's many stories of companies only letting people use burner laptops if they go to China and Russia so it's not a very far fetched contract requirement.
I think you dont get my point. degrading transparency is just a symptom. a symptom of all this.
In a GANN, they are already trained together.
You can see similar factors of difference in carbon intensity between US States. Generally the ones I'd want to live in are doing much better.

In Australia, when they briefly brought in a carbon tax, a dairy that complained before it was introduced, started capturing their methane and using it for power and installed solar. They ended up thinking it was a good thing just as it was repealed.
Larry Ellison would agree, and built a fortune based on that opinion.
That doesn't even register compared to the Fukushima and Chernobyl cleanups. That link seems to support the OP's point.
> In some schools of thought, a MAGA hat is a hate symbol like a swastika armband.

Excuse me, but what could ever be hateful about making America great again? Doesn't this rather suggest that these schools of thought themselves are being quite hateful towards America? It's sure convenient that "these are the people writing and enforcing codes of conduct these days", because if they weren't, the case for banning them as CoC violators would be pretty clearcut.
> The team has baked, boiled, microwaved, demagnetized and scoured similar pieces of glass with steel wool — with no loss to the data stored inside.

That's really cool.
That's a great idea, but also requires an organized garbage collection system where items are separated at the source (consumer). Unfortunately the US doesn't have such a system in place, which is partially a social issue.
That sounds very efficient. In the US organic and non-organic "kitchen" waste is often combined. While it is becoming more common to separate compostable materials from others it is still more of an exception.

Many landfills do harvest methane from the combined heap of trash. However, after methane production ends we are still left with compost with tons of plastic.
Agree completely. The redesign of the card format ruined the game for me. IMO the old format made it feel like you were holding some ancient and special.
Yeah, I wondered about that as well. "Design as a Service" type tools are a dime a dozen, and there are a few I've seen on IndieHackers already, so we're talking 1-5 person shops that outsource the work to designers in Eastern Europe or Asia.

The "AI play" is likely a big selling point for the VCs, even if it's not impressive in practice.

But still, considering how much harder it is for Canadian companies in the right sectors (cloud, AI/ML, marketing automation) to get funding compared to US ones, it seems strange that they picked up $7 million.
No. A private venue or organization having rules of conduct does not count as a social credit system.
You can fool all the AIs some of the time, and some of the AIs all the time, but you cannot fool all the AIs all the time.
>I haven't seen a Foreign Key smartly implemented in a LONG time

This has also been my experience as a web developer mostly. I rarely see any applications that make use of foreign keys constraints supplied by the database server. Usually I see relations being handled by code on the application side.

Even when I build apps that are using SQL, I always implement this stuff in code instead of FKs even though I know how they work and when designing a database schema in an app like (for example) mysql workbench, I have the option to add them easily. But I always use the "ignore foreign keys" option and then implement the constraints in code. I just find it a bit more sane to have all of the logic inside the app.

I know I'm probably "doing it wrong" but would love to hear some other opinions about this from the hn crowd that does web development. I'm guessing that more "enterprisey" apps like CRM's and ERP's will probably use more of the native database stuff.
This is what they said:

I enjoyed Dominion, and generally appreciate games where you don't have to keep buying things to play competitively. I've never actually played it, but I was always intererested in Codex: http://sirlingames.com/codex

It's modeled after real time strategy games (Warcraft 3 especially), and was designed by David Sirlin. Sirlin writes about game design, and I've really enjoyed his commentary on competitive systems. He did the rebalancing for Super Street Fighter 2 HD Remix, and the changes he made are discussed in a series of articles here: http://www.sirlin.net/articles/sf

You can various other articles he's written by clicking around that site.

This is just an example of a well-known recent sociology paper that can appeal to science-minded people unfamiliar with sociology.

By the way, it's a danger to rely too much on mathematical formalism as a heuristic for deciding whether a research field is scientific or valid. String theory for example lacks empirical evidence (and maybe even the possibility of empirical validation altogether).

Nuclear power generation costs ~$6k per kW(1)

Solar power generation costs ~$1k per kW(2)

Solar capacity factor is ~25%, so ~4k/kW to compare with 24 hour baseload power.

Storing 3 kW for ~12hrs requires ~36kW-h storage.

Li-ion battery packs are getting to ~$100/kW-h (3)
36 kW-h storage is ~$3.6k

Nuclear cost: ~6k per kW baseload

Solar + battery cost: ~7.6k per kW baseload (~4k/kW generation, ~3.6k/kW storage)

Your "in the USA" part is cheating unless you believe France builds inferior nuclear plants. Nuclear is only uncompetitive in the US because of lawfare at every single step of construction.

Just because a structure is deeply nested doesn’t mean that it consumes a lot of memory.

And just because your payload is massive and consumes a lot of memory doesn’t mean it’s deeply nested.

I doubt any of the parsers are resilient against storing large documents in memory. What makes them bad is that structures that would easily fit in memory are unparsable.

In most cases your web server imposed a limit on the size of the HTTP payload so you wouldn’t normally be able to deliver a 128GiB JSON file anyway. It’s not like nested structures are zip-bombs.
If we have to subjugate all of our thoughts to your monolithic reality where everything is "really" the same thing, then how is it possible to think at all? It seems to me that by your logic, we are all walking around bullshitting ourselves 24/7. Is that a worldview that any honest human can live by?
> The contract a reader enters with The Information is very clear: We pay, they write. Enough of us pay so they can keep writing. They write in a way that provides value via knowledge (ostensibly leading to smarter business decisions or investments on the part of the reader; i.e., extremely clear value proposition), not shock. Their model is not contingent on us looking at their writing from morning until night. Once a day is more than enough. Entry points are limited. It’s a healthy model for all parties.

It's certainly a personal choice, but this is NOT the contract I want with investigative journalism. I want the model to be "I support you however I can, you change the freaking world." IIRC I've seen The Information put quality investigative articles behind a paywall, and I was struck by how inefficient this would lead to change: I can't share this with others, the nuance of the article isn't visible if someone Googles the subject, the punchline may enter the zeitgeist but the nuance will not. I think that's dangerous, and if The Information were instead to suggest a contract "we show ads to everybody, track everybody, clickbait everybody, and therefore you can share this with everybody" I would prefer that instead.

Certainly they're entirely within their rights to NOT want to be in that business. Fully support anyone who does. But the ad-driven bait-driven model does have its uses, and we shouldn't throw it out with the bathwater.
God can suspend the laws of physics which he designed in the first place. And it was a Catholic priest who first proposed the Big Bang theory, which I think is perfectly reasonable to believe, and fully compatible with our religion, which only says that Adam and Eve were literal people who we are all descended from, but not that the 7-day creation was literal.
