I suspect this is just a proxy measure for rate of construction. Construction workers fall off roofs because they're installing solar panels. They don't fall off nuclear towers, because the world has mostly stopped building them.
"You went 61 in a 60. Here's a ticket. Also, because you broke the law once and I'm in a pedantic mood, I'm issuing a warrant to go through all of your GPS history for the past two years. Oh look, 1 year ago you went 36 in a 35. Another ticket for you. 2 years ago you jaywalked. Another ticket."

At what point do we want the legal system to no longer have the power to scrutinize an individual's history?

I don't believe that a warrant to "ruffle through someone's life" without limits is within the powers of a judge. A warrant to procure relevant evidence to a case being investigated, legally, certainly.

Issuing an order for someone's entire Google history for a year is bordering "an unreasonable search and seizure", by my understanding.

Someone like US Senator Josh Hawley went to Stanford, then to Yale Law, he clerked on the US Appeals Court and then for the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. He was then elected as the Attorney General of Missouri and won the race for US Senator in 2018.

Do you honestly think he doesn't know the proper name of one of the two major parties in the USA, or the body that organizes their elections? It's not subtle. Just super juvenile 'own the libs' silliness.

Nuclear gets thrown about because it's an easy pivot for mining companies - especially in Australia which has a powerful mining lobby and large amounts of both coal and uranium.
I decided mid last year that I was going to redesign one of my projects to break away from 3rd party service reliance for the sake of protecting the end users privacy.

First thing to go was Google Analytics. Depending on your product and how you want to grow it, it’s possible that you don’t need the range of reporting that GA provides. I know I didn’t.

After that I looked at what other third party services and trackers that were being used. I’ve been opposed to advertising for 15 years, so I didn’t need to worry about them as they were never there. I work on other projects that are infested with them and I would love to remove them but marketing loves its metrics and ability to squeeze a dollar out where ever possible. External commenting services were removed (that was more laziness on my behalf) and social login methods.

Lastly (and this one was hardest to part with due to the benefits), CDNs. I decided that any external request would be a problem, as once the request leaves and gets redirected a few times you’ve provided who knows how many companies data on your end user. Every file would have to reside within the realms of the project.

In the end I’m happy to say that my project (which is still in development) is and will always be self contained, for the protection of the end user.

I do realise that there are other external factors that can track the user, but from my end I’m doing what ever I can to minimise those factors.

> particular dated editor

I wonder how you feel about age discrimination. Old != bad.

I started using Vim when I was 14; I was the only one in the class who wasn't using an IDE. Vim (perhaps combined with a language server if you're okay with the complexity) runs circles around bloated IDEs like IntelliJ/VSCode. Unix combined with a tiling WM is the best IDE in existence.

The professor in question is likely doing the students a service by showing them the advantages of minimalism and function-over-form over the trend of bundling an OS with every "app". Many students today only feel comfortable using software that saturates their synapses with colors and animations; having to use Vim for a semester forces the good ones to realize that maybe, just maybe, function should come before form. Maybe 10k lines of C or POSIX shell solves a problem better than a VC-backed Electron app.

To continue your analogy, WordPerfect and DOS, unlike Vim, aren't better than today's tools. What would be an improvement is LaTeX/BibTeX for writing essays. Once I realized how much work was automatically done for me--from Chicago-style footnotes/endnotes and auto-generated ToC from headings, the time I spent formatting my papers dropped to zero. I would absolutely incentivize students to use these tools over "modern", bloated word processors.
I agree that people could benefit from an understanding of both, but I'm finding it hard to see how the actual body of scientific work could be improved by incorporating religion in any way.

That's probably true, but not really what's newsworthy and notable here. I mean, yeah, Teen Vogue surely didn't mean to publish it like that.

But they did, and when they did Facebook promptly crowed about it and pretended that this was journalism showing (pause for breath) Facebook's dedication to honest media coverage. And it was a paid advertisement the whole time.

That's... well, just ew. And none of that has anything to do with CMS features that made the mistake visible to the public.

> the intellectual elite who were the thought leaders shaping our model of government were largely members of the Enlightenment faction that started the whole idea of anti-religious secular liberalism.

Really going to need a citation on this. Besides that point, the Enlightenment being anti-religious is a myth in of itself as well. Most standard taught US history on the events that took place basically from the split of the One Catholic Church, through the dark ages, and up to just before the founding of this country is woefully inaccurate. We are pretty good at documenting things that occurred on this continent roughly mid 1700s on.

"Nuclear waste is treated with incredible care and there’s very little of it."

There's very little of it? Really?

Even the Spiegel article says:

"the amount of highly radioactive waste that Germany will have to store indefinitely - a total of around 10,000 tons - would fit inside a largish furniture store"

10,000 tons doesn't sound like very little to me. And that's just Germany.

I don't know the numbers, but I would be shocked if other countries like the US and Russia didn't have way, way, way more.

The Decade in Cheer
The F-106 was actually the '54 Interceptor, and predated Arrow. It was the last "pure" interceptor that the U.S. built, as the F-108 and the A-12 (Blackbird-based) interceptors, both in the Arrow's performance class, were canceled.

The Arrow, while impressive in performance, wasn't without it's faults either. The requirements were far ahead of their time, and for some, wern't close to being met. The Nav/Radar systems, which to have "look down, shoot down" capability (i.e, Pulse Doppler). The missiles would the first fully active homing missiles in the world, having taken on the Sparrow II project that the U.S. Navy canceled.

As ballistic missiles, and not bombers, began to be seen as the danger coming over the pole, Arrow was questioned as it's entry into service was still a long way off. There was a lot more needed to be done besides flying high and fast; and something it's fans often overlooked. There were existing aircraft that could fulfill the now more limited role for far cheaper, and so it was cut.

It might have been for the best. The pulse-doppler radar it was to carry didn't come about until the later 60s with the latter F-4 Phantom versions, and the first fully active radar homing missiles not until the F-14 Tomcat/Phoenix/AWG-9 combination, which was huge. (The Active Sparrow that the U.S. Navy tried to get wasn't realized until AMRAAM of the 80s; relying on semi-active Sparrows all the way through the 90s.

One could make the argument that Canada should have dumped money into it anyway. Whether this is the "sunken cost" fallacy or promoting an industry I think is something of an opinion, but what I don't think happened is a U.S. plot to cancel Canada's project. The U.S. assisted in the development of it's engine and shared it's tech to date with the Sparrow II. But those technologies were not a good value for the U.S. defense budget at the time, and so they had lest justification as part of Canada's

For 100 people parading the merits of nuclear power around on HN, you will hardly find 1 able to take that article seriously. The people spending decades and millions on thinking of solutions for this as of yet unsolved problem would appreciate the help. But they need tested and proven solutions, not "maybe", or "I wouldn't be surprised if" and all that other stuff that masquerade as argument on HN.

> older designs can be made safer

Again, notice the difference between this and "older designs have been made safe". It seems HN doesn't even attempt to rise above "woulda coulda shoulda" whenever this topic comes up.

> Is Germany paranoid about nuclear power? Yes.

Does Germany need your approval or permission? NO. If nuclear power is so great, go knock yourself out, but why do you absolutely have to put all eggs into one basket? Why can't a few countries move away from nuclear? Are you afraid nuclear development will stop without German engineering or approval?

It's not like Germany is putting pressure on anyone, why is HN time and time again obsessing about Germany not playing along? Oh no, they like cash and dislike nuclear... we're not even allowed to mention Trump, but we can repeat the same tripe about Germany not embracing nuclear all day.

> not being reborn was rebellious to the status quo where rebirth was seen as natural.

The Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita from the Hindu traditions primarily discuss liberation from rebirth and various paths to it. [1] At least some of the Upanishads probably predate Buddhism. [2]

Liberation from rebirth has always been an integral part of the whole rebirth lore. So the Buddha's teachings were in that sense not rebellious to the status quo. It is even possible that the status quo actually coloured his opinion of his subjective experience of meditation so much as to lead him to believe he had found another path (if not the best path) to liberation.

What a sweeping authoritarian view on human rights. I'm sorry but this really raises my hackles. The state absolute does not have every right to collect and gather evidence to build a case with such a sweeping dragnet. There is a reason that search warrants have to be specific and evidence of even obvious other crimes is not admissible.

There is nothing pragmatic about being totally ignorant of Fourth Amendment protections that have been eeked out, injustice after injustice, over two centuries.
we recently converted Hookpad, our chord and melody sketchpad for teaching and writing music, to a PWA. Prior to being a PWA users often had to redownload samples each time they visited the site, and now they only have to download a sample once (our AWS bill has gotten smaller as a result). It was also really nice to suddenly be able to install the app locally and be able to use it without an internet connection.

Getting all that capability just by adding a manifest file and a service worker was pretty cool. I won't comment on the pros and cons of just releasing a native app (we are in a lot of schools that prefer a web interface so this made sense for us), but we are very happy with the added functionality and don't see any downsides.

> At anytime a judge could order your information

For a judge to issue a warrant, a prosecutor or cop has to swear that they have probable cause to believe that you've committed a specific crime. Judges can't just write warrants arbitrarily. (Of course, this process can be abused, but it's still pretty far from a judge being able to authorize pulling the data of random people.)

The Fourth Amendment says: "... no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

> Okay, so whoever wrote the text for your website is a liar.
> So, it's not free. I'm paying for storage one way or another -- either by keeping it all on my always-on devices, or by paying you to pin it.

Not the author, I don't think you can accuse them of lying. I suppose you could use any provider to pin stuff. There might be free IPFS pinning services and non-free ones. You may not need to use AnyType at all.

> So, when I'm not on the same LAN as the computer, Anytype is not only _not_ peer-to-peer by default, but also Anytype gets to see when people write data and learn how much data they wrote.

I don't agree with your assessment at all. It is ok in P2P to have intermediary nodes that handle pinning, hosting, mirroring, propagation etc when the node is offline. That's the only way P2P can be viable.

What's important is that the protocols and standards are open. And that you can choose your own providers to handle the above mentioned services (pinning, mirroring etc). That seems to be the case here. You're criticism is unnecessarily acute.

My feed back would be to be clearer on how it works - because your initial set of users are going to be more technically proficient.
> location and similar data can be used as a solid alibi if you are accused incorrectly.

Except you don't control them and could be faked and used to frame you. The power imbalance here is absolutely astonishing.
