In sparsely populated areas smart roads could inform the car that there hasn't been any movement whatsoever in the whole area for hours. (Along the entire road and adjacent to the roads). How the car responds (driving somewhat faster, perhaps) could mean a large measure of safety as compared to when there are a large group of people about to cross a rural road at night that the car may or may not see visually.

Anyway it's just one example. RFID or similar embedded beacons in the road paint would make roads much easier for cars to follow. They are expensive for any one company to do but cheap for the government to do if it is done everywhere at once and lasts 5-10 years. Road signs that broadcast what they are (instead of needing to be "seen" and interpreted visually instead of through radio by the car), are similar.

Finally, a government standard could coordinate cars into a caravan, avoiding pileups for example, and giving the participating cars several advantages you can find by Googling "car caravan". (Though this might be achieved by industry.)
Just as any sufficiently complex software system devolves into a half baked implementation of LISP with an incomplete email implementation, so too does any sufficiently large organization become a pseudo police state with secretive protocols and closed room interrogations with files on everyone and everything

The main problem being tackled is trying to get fusion to remain 'alight' - i think if any of the containment systems fail, it simply extinguishes immediately. Not a physicist, though :)
And, strangely, it's the only response to the gp's request to define of over-commenting, yet it is downvoted to below definitions of good commenting.

So. Weird. The other responses didn't properly implement the requirement specification.

I am so confused.
There isn't enough fuel in the reactor to create something even close to a meltdown.

It's a shame how silly it all is.
Every country had its characters like Pétain, the Dutch had their own share of them (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Dutch_collaborators_w... see here for a whole slew of Dutch), it was the same in almost every country the Nazi's attacked and even some where it did not.
By that same logic we should not write multithreaded code, ever. It is still a good idea to strive for code where wrong things look wrong (which largely requires collocation), but you can't put that above everything else.
Nitpicking: The FDA doesn't test every single batch of each product. They review the results of the clinical trials and then they set the rules to approve the batches. When a batch is ready, someone in the drug production factory is responsible to check that all the test and quality meet the regulations and then sign a paper approving the release. S/he must have a degree in pharmacology or chemistry or something similar. If something gets wrong the person that signed the release approval is the first one that get questioned, so they should be very careful.

It's somewhat similar to the role of the NHTSA(?). They set the general rules and approve each vehicle model, but they don't go to the factory to test each single car.

Facebook accused of 'empowering' a racist company culture
It only makes any kind of sense in the context of the times.

France in the '30s had been run by a left-wing coalition, the Popular Front (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popular_Front_(France)), which had put things like the rights of workers and a move away from laissez faire capitalism front and center. The head of that coalition was a Jewish socialist, Léon Blum (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%A9on_Blum).

That in turn had led to a kind of mass freak-out among the French right, who were terrified that Blum and the Popular Front were the harbingers of a Russian-style Communist revolution. (They weren't, of course, but then as now the hard right can't hear a dog bark without thinking it's the first shot of a Communist revolution.) Even in 1936, when Blum came to power, there were people on the right saying things like "better Hitler than Léon Blum" (http://worldatwar.net/biography/b/blum/).

So when the Nazis blew the old government away, there were a lot of people on the French right who saw their country's defeat by right-wing foreigners as an opportunity to restore the old order -- things like favoring aristocracy over democracy, reserving lots of power for the Catholic church, driving Jews and immigrants out of society, and so forth. These people coalesced around Pétain, and their ideology became the ideology of Vichy's Révolution nationale (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A9volution_nationale). (One of the results of which was that Blum was hauled off to a German concentration camp.)
Wow, I stand corrected
How would you handle this case WITHOUT this library?
There are new data exchange protocols/formats which help to exchange between parties. They have been defined 2000+ so they are quite modern.

The only problem is that is such a diverse way the healthcare providers are implementing it. So you end up having provider specific code :)

One thing I think this misses is that while Minecraft's graphics are blocky, the terrain generator creates rather spectacular and varied scenery. Just wandering around has an appeal evocative of visiting national parks, and building even a basic hut in a nice setting is more appealing than it would be in a plain sandbox.

Maybe that's part of why it feels "somehow pure"?
If you're designing machine parts in AutoCAD 3D, do yourself a favor and upgrade to FreeCAD or SolidWorks or CATIA or at least Fusion 360. Heck, maybe even Blender or OpenSCAD.
The negative prices paid on EPEX did not exist until 2007 on the German/Austrian market[1], which clearly coincides with the green energy rollout in Germany.

This has already happened, telegram groups, discord servers, direct IM through signal/WhatsApp/iMessage are where people go to have genuine conversations with a close knit community. Facebook/Instagram/Twitter are for a certain kind of public performance, but people are aware the broadcasting model doesn't encompass all human communication needs. We need the talking model, and when you know everyone is listening in, the talking model can't really happen
I didn't realize. Thank you!
That's what was asked for! Why on earth is the comment that properly delivers the expectation being discussed as though it's wrong?
To be honest, Google is the last company I want handling my health data. If you don't check the right boxes, it could end up being "anonymized", and sold off.
Private browsing is relatively simple - nothing is preserved. It’s similar but definitely easier to understand than containers, where you have _n_ containers, each with some subset of cookies representing your identities on various sites. Not only do you have to mentally keep track of what cookies are in each container and make sure to always open certain links in the right container, you also have to worry about unique URL signatures permanently leaking your identity between containers if you’re not careful, as mentioned in a sibling comment.

Does anyone else feel like "Edge" is made up term just for deluding investors?

The client/server split has been around forever. Edge means the same thing as a client. With IOT you have more clients. Modern smartphones and ras-pi type hardware are already great at neural net inference... The future is already here.
It's hard to get fusion to happen at all. If something goes wrong, it just means fusion stops happening.
Sounds like the game was perfectly realistic then.
The energy content in a fusion reactor (even at the 3 GW output scale) is only a few mega joules, or in other words a few sticks of dynamite. Enough to damage the wall. Maybe enough to break the vacuum vessel. At that point the air would stop any further fusion. You might release radioactive tritium, but nothing else that should be felt outside the building.

For comparison: The total inventory of tritium would be about 500g, about 50 times the amount of tritium released by fukushima, but the other radioactive isotopes that got released there (caesium, iodine, tellurium) that are much more problematic biologically would be missing.
Tl;dr: The US tries smaller fusion reactors in partnership with industry in parallel to ITER.

Nothing really new from a tech standpoint, or what am I missing?
Is it important to parse names like that? You can just do a search by substring in most cases
And the punishment for murder?

Is murder just as bad as rape, or worse?

If I were the victim of rape I'd want the death penalty, but from the outside I can easily see that that's not just.
Yes! And a good surface API, OpenResty (nginx + lua) is reasonably powerful but you're really limited based on the events they give you.

I'm really hopeful about deno (https://github.com/denoland/deno) for this. TypeScript is nice, the deno TCP perf is good, all it needs is some good proxy libraries.
The key word is eventually, which makes what you're saying irrelevant to the conversation we're having here.

From that thread: Avimark is an old style load the EXE from a share program with a flat file structure for the data. Most clinics are not in a domain, just workgroup, and the share is read/write access for Everyone. So, yeah.
Please don't tell me how to behave going forward, and if this is your way of admitting you did something wrong, you've really got to work on that.
Judging by all the countries I've lived in every country will have things it is better in than others and the reverse. No country has it all and objectively comparing countries is extremely hard. The happiness indicator for residents is one of the best ways that I know of.

Nope, as the FAA has no jurisdiction over those flights.

The FAA isn't the global airline police.
Once containment fails the energy which is within the reactor escapes and the reaction stops. Fusion only occurs at these insane pressures/temperatures which won't be maintained if containment fails.

I wouldn't want to be in the building when it fails.

If it uses Tritium then that's going be an environmental hazard (it's radioactive and will get everywhere).

To be honest it's all conjecture right now because we don't have a viable reactor design and failure modes will depend what exactly we build.
Airlines shuffle planes constantly to deal with changes in demand, maintenance, etc.

Even if you knew what plane they're planning on flying when you bought the ticket, the plane that rolls onto the gate might still end up being a different one.
Vote for the second, but you won't need a neural net, a sum-of-squared differences on a set of reference spectra would probably get you 99% there.
We shouldn't exclude the possibility of a frexit and then a new union.
Thanks for your work. I've been re-reading Knuth's _The TeXbook_ as a reminder of fine points in typography. So much can be covered in just provisioning for floating blocks, top-floating blocks, widows and orphans, a few counters, some flexibilty in headers and footers, and such. It seems like you and/or CSS are hitting those high-points.

I hear you emphasizing this might just be for print, but something like a Kindle in-browser reader (hidden nav; spacebar or < or > to turn a page) can also provide a nice experience (different to scrolling) in reading longer works.
"The group said they chose to talk about their experiences anonymously, because Facebook creates a hostile culture where anyone who's non-white is made to fear for their job and safety."

Pretending that Asians don't exist because it interferes with your narrative is dishonest.

Privacy is not security
Used to a play a server called Civcraft that was persistent for several years - server-side plugins enabled preservation of structures (to an extent) through reinforcement (Citadel), culling of mobs using "Mustercull", biome-specific farming with RealisticBiomes, and an imprisonment system (PrisonPearl) which gave players the power to ban others from the server.

People naturally formed their own laws, governments, societies, and over the years the balance of power went from a fractal multipolar world to a massive "red vs. blue" cold war with minimal conflict. Quite interesting really. Not to mention the massive international infrastructure works, including rails, bridges, tunnels, massive towns, and lag-inducing automated farms.
I work remotely and use separate browsers for work and personal stuff. I was hoping Firefox would allow me to use one browser, but it didn't quite work out like I had hoped. There's no keyboard shortcuts, so you're forced to use mouse/menus (I did find an extension to open a new window in a container using shortcuts). I'm pretty sure history/cookies are global--I couldn't delete all cookies from a container (I think there's a ticket to better support this). I was hoping to close everything from a container when I'm not working and reopen it later...this seems to only work for the tabs in the current window.

It seems like a great feature. It's definitely a differentiator. Perhaps I had too specific of an approach going in. In general, for me tabs in a window are all related so flipping windows or closing windows are the context I switch between.
A few years ago, there was a terror scare in Canada. A group of unknown people showed up at a particular mall early in the morning, and were walking around with their cellphones basically in their faces.

At the same time, there were lots of surveillance stories in the news (terrorists scoping out train bridges, etc), so people got really nervous. It looked like they were conducting some sort of scanning because they were clearly zeroing in on signs and whatnot.

Ended up the group were all blind to varying degrees, and they had discovered they could use their cell phone cameras to bring the view much closer to their eyes, and thus could see much better than they would be able to otherwise.

What Apple is doing at least has some precedence out in the wild. Very cool.

This isn't an insurance against catastrophic failure on the order of Fukushima or Chernobyl, which run into the hundreds of billions, if not trillions.

Of course you can have an insurance pool that covers arbitrarily small sums at arbitrarily low fees. That's missing the point.
Branding is like leverage. There's a downside that goes with the upside.
Basically, none that we need to be concerned with.

The general idea is this: when you fuse elements, you produce heavier elements; if you wanted to fuse these new elements into even heavier ones, you'd need to input much more energy — thus it can be said in layman terms that the products of fusion are 'toxic' to the fusion itself, i.e. the more you do it the less likely it is to go on, until if finally stops (like in real-world stars). For instance, the Helium produced by the Sun is making it harder to sustain the Hydrogen fusion, which will stop before all Hydrogen is depleted.

In addition, the radioactive elements produced by fusion are much lesser than fusion, by orders of magnitude, so it's pretty much 'clean' in that regard for all intents and purposes (50 years of fission probably produced much worse than 1,000 years of fusion would).

And the fuel is available in pretty much limitless quantity — in fact, it would probably make a space industry, starting with mining hydrogen isotopes for fusion, profitable from day 1.

It's basically the closest thing we have to God's tech, and there's not much else in theoretical physics that comes close in terms of benefits in our real-world context. Fusion would essentially hand over the galaxy to us with little to no chance of failure, given enough time.

If we can pull it off, that is. Which remains to be seen, there's nothing new or groundbreaking in this article.
The UK is a country full of hatred, racism and xenophobia. I say this as a Brit. It's not better than France in any way, shape or form. France is not without its issues either though. Both countries need to be better.
I would guess those numbers have to be largely due to overtime regardless of occupation. In a previous job, it wasn't unheard of for blue collar workers to get $200k+ but overtime hours made up a disproportionate amount of their income. This was in the midwest where housing and cost of living is relatively cheap, so it may even be on par with the numbers quoted for longshoremen.
Didn't thrive.

I know bad. But more seriously, what does this mean for Kaiser?
For some people, sure. For some people, support for Bernie Sanders is support for the communist ideology that murdered millions of people, and as a person who personally suffered under a socialist regime I would certainly be uncomfortable in the presence of the socialist or communist symbolics. Does it mean Linux Foundation has an obligation to exclude anybody who ever proclaimed sympathies to Sanders and other socialists, to create safe space for me (in case I'd ever want to visit Linux Foundation sponsored event) and people like me who, personally or through their family and relatives, suffered under socialist and communist regimes?

Of course, singling out communism is not fair - I could name many other ideologies that some people may be very uncomfortable with, especially if you pick out the worst statements you could find, interpret it in worst and most uncharitable light possible and pretend that anybody who have ever agreed with anything in that ideology also fully agrees with that maximally uncharitable interpretation. It would be rather sad safe place if that policy would be carried to its logical conclusion.

But of course it would never happen. I can't imagine anybody being kicked out of a conference for ever wearing (even outside of the conference context) Che Guevara t-shirt or being photographed in presence of hammer-and-sickle flag (and I'm not even talking about religious symbols, most Abrahamic religions at least having very dark pasts and rather ambiguous present). It would be carried out arbitrarily and capriciously, following where current political winds are blowing and what tribal pressure groups happen to be more vocal and scare the organizers the most. That makes it not only a bad policy, but also a hypocritical one.
Of course — my comment was referring to when/if they become ungrounded.
Rights are not a priori truths. They are a human creation, a game of language. Just like gods, reincarnation, gender pronouns and mythology. What makes you so sure that you and your dog have a right not to be killed for food?
Yup, the brain is vulnerable. But, I would say anyone who had a concussion should seek vestibular therapy. And so should someone in a high risk field or sport, and who has neck tension.

Would not recommend professional boxing to anyone however.
Indeed, and one of them, Norway's Vidkun Quisling (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vidkun_Quisling), was so notorious his name become synonymous with betraying your country. To this day, in multiple countries, all you have to say to indicate that you think someone would be happy to trade loyalty for power is to call them a quisling (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quisling).
I don't begrudge money being spent on researching fusion. It is definitely a promising technology, but it's not coming to a power grid near you any time soon.

Even if we can figure out how to keep a reaction going with a useful energy surplus no one has any idea

a) How much a reactor will cost,

b) how long/hard will it be to build or

c) If there are any issues with the process - yes no nuclear fuel but there's still some nasty crap coming out of the reaction which you will have to deal with if you scale the technology.

Meanwhile there are a number of perfectly viable planet saving power sources - solar, wind, solar-thermal etc - already out there providing power.

Fusion is a nice idea, but it isn't the only way to save the world...

It is very easy to build a CRUD app with reasonable security using [Meteor](https://www.meteor.com/) and its [autoform](https://github.com/aldeed/meteor-autoform) package.

The best part is you retain complete freedom and control to manage any part of the process both on the client and server side and "hook" in practically anything else on top of it.

Even in Meteor there are new ways but require more learning.

[Django](https://www.djangoproject.com/) is also very good if you like Python.

IMHO, the best part of both is that you don't need to worry about a TON of standard functionalities like authentication, logging, messaging, security (to a good extent), user management, etc.

I program on the side and focus more on the business, and just find comfort in JS although I do analytical work in Python (and integrate them using hacks and bridges .... works fine for most part ... little slow and clunky but works and saves a lot of dev time)
Firefox needs to work on solutions that help webmasters, not just the users. Some of these choices may affect the revenue of websites negatively without providing a better alternative, so you might not see developers being happy to suggest firefox. Brave is at least trying to bring new models to the world. Firefox is not.
Are you aware if there's a bug open on bugzilla for this?
I think they are intended to be helpful, but they are adopted as CYA that have the side benefit of improving security.
