Do they have a reliable and renewable replacement for baseload generation?

Nuclear would be ideal but that has been ruled out for political reasons.
He left Japan while the decision about his guilt was pending. He chose to work in Japan, so he has to play by the same rules as the rest of us here. It’s a law and order country. If the prosecutor wants you, you’re in big trouble. To be honest, if he was Japanese, he most likely would have killed himself or at least accepted that his life is over due to the shaming. That’s how it’s done here. If you don’t like it, don’t play in this stadium.
I think many worker ants live two years or more, a queen can live 15-30 years, depending on species and luck.

The difference in the contact between ants and between neurons is that it's not the same ants that contact each other.

A larger pool of workers also means the colony is less likely to suffer catastrophic setbacks. For example when they send a good portion of the pool to a promising food source and then those get washed away, fall prey or whatever.
Do you have advice for people who want to somehow be involved?

For example, I am from South Africa and one of the biggest problems here is the terrible quality of some government schools. However, I don't really know how to do anything about this, despite having an MSc in pure mathematics and being a somewhat capable programmer.

We do have some recycling programs that seem to be quite effective—the recyclers are quite prominent when you put out your trash and are strikingly serene people (for the most part).

The most obvious possibility is that Apple can one day succeed and iPhone will be uncrackable by these tools.

LPT - don't scathingly attack an employee in an obituary after their recent early death. You can say you found then difficult to live with, etc., you don't have to try and crucify their mortal remains.
That's not necessarily true I think. The program could read the config at startup, and create structures or objects inside its heap to represent the config. After that it would have no need for the actual bytes of the config.

Will Data Privacy and Advertising Ever Go Hand-in-Hand?
I always considered the "you can't get at the data of an iPhone" a marketing slogan, not really worth my trust. I am still off the opinion, once you give up/loose physical access to a device, the game is over.
Also, I dont see why this is such a big deal for so many people. Is the percentage of people that have the FBI as their adversary really so high? :-)

That's missing the point. No matter if it's Python 2, 3, 4 or 5. It's so easy to read Python, that you will understand the script without effort. And even if there's no interpreter around you can just port it in a few minutes to whatever language you're using now.

If in the meantime Bash has fallen out of favor, have fun identifying what all these cryptic commands do, without having an interpreter available to check your assumption of what it's doing.

Yes, granted, Bash is more likely to stay, since it has stayed for a long time now. But given a future where there's neither Bash nor Python anymore, I'd prefer porting the Python script.

This seems nearly unachievable--and will punishingly expensive--if they don't reverse their nuclear phase-out.
It is not that straightforward. Generally you cannot be compelled to testify against yourself. But you can be legally compelled to perform certain actions, and held in contempt if you fail to do so. Whether or not disclosing a password is self incrimination, or something you are required to provide is an actively changing area of the law.

"According to systems thinking, changing the food system — or any other network — requires three things to happen. First, researchers need to identify all the players in that system; second, they must work out how they relate to each other; and third, they need to understand and quantify the impact of those relationships on each other and on those outside the system."

Pick up a Kinect v2 second hand (as little as $20) and a 3rd party PC adapter ($40 - $50 if my memory serves me correctly).

I disagree that plain "exposure" is worth anything. Let me bring up a sort of unrelated example. Whenever I meet someone that claims they have "some" experience with people with disabilities, it turns out they are worse then those people that dont claim that.
How do you explain his decision to enter Lebanon openly, exposing his plane, therefore exposing the route and the people involved when not exposing the people who organised all this? Why he did not enter Lebanon in the same box he left Japan?

I am pretty sure that Ghosn is intelligent enough to know that as soon as he exposes his route of escape, the people involved in the operation will be exposed. He chooses to expose these when protecting the people he paid.

Was Carlos assuming that the security contractor works for the money and likes being not in jail just like him but airline personnel would do illegal things as part of the rent contract and not having problems with being exposed?
"Instead of linear cause-effect, systems thinking emphasises interrelationships. Rather than static snapshots, systems thinking steers our attention towards patterns of change. To start perceiving interrelationships and patterns of change in a situation, we need to understand a simple concept called feedback that shows how actions can reinforce or counteract (balance) each other. An organisational initiative designed to amplify user growth and at the same time, another set of actions counteract that growth."
Didn't catch on? The Wii was Nintendo's best selling console ever (apart from the original Gameboy), and outsold the PS3 from the same generation (and ever Xbox ever). It's quite likely that the Wii is the reason why PS3 was Sony's lowest selling console.

“Brains may be far more complicated than we think,” as said by anyone who has worked with brains! Good stuff though, very interesting :)
This article is wrong from many aspects. There are things that many developers can't get with Typescript and it's flexibility...just always keep in mind what makes Typescript so special compared to any other languages. You can't achieve both flexibility and typed solid programming in the same place, you must sacrifice the things you just mentioned and few others. Typescript was supposed to be flexible and developer friendly, it's not a hardcore language and never will be.

The modern solution would be to capture the incoming packets as a training set then apply machine learning to create a model that can perfectly recreate the outgoing packets.

I went to lectures with Gervase at university 20 years ago and while I never really 'knew' him (and don't share his faith) his energy and enthusiasm were evident. This "obit" seems in bad taste; surely if he was causing so much "trauma" and "damage" at work, they would have done something about it during the last 18 years? It just seems unnecessarily mean-spirited.
At worst they can import electricity from France which has plenty of nuclear power.

Alternative could be, sometimes things don't form a system, because 'system' could imply more order and predictability than there really is.

Sometimes stuff just happen, and if you try to look for the system behind, you would see patterns that are not really there.

I would say this is what leads to magical thinking, right?

And I even like magical thinking, all those little nudges where I take a wrong turn, but then meet an interesting person and thing to myself "turns out I was supposed to be here", despite the my second thoughts being buzzkill about "that is not how world works!"
Any other third party with funding on the level of FBI
Looks like they'll still be on coal when most of the world will be moving off it.

Just because there's a timetable for it still makes it backward (including the self-decided avoidance of Nuclear) to hang on so long.
I suppose it won't lag the way a low-bandwidth serial port would lag (letters and edits coming visibly late) but much like mosh "lags" shell output (i.e. network lags are just swallowed and the newer packets will update everything once they arrive, and you can keep on typing).

So you could type as fast as you can, the computer would update its front buffer without delay, and all keyboard commands to move around in the editor would be executed instantly just like normal but the screen would only get full updates five times a second.

I could work with that.

There’s also the Turkey fallacy - Turkeys that are smug about knowing the Gambler’s fallacy keep thinking their survival is independent of their age, until people eat them. My probability of dying goes up with each year as well, it’s not constant.

Think the probability of the machine shutting down in the next minute is independent of age, but it shutting off in the next 100 years is certain. There’s a line or curve that should indicate probability of shutting down before OP writes the replacement.

If you only have a front door exit, then column-by-column would work for the first column, but then it would switch to row-by-row starting from the back, since the column moves forward, and that allows the last row people to join the end of the column first.

If you have front and back door exits, the same would happen, but row-by-row would start from the middle of the plane.
It seemed really expensive in the beginning, but now even more so, given they'll do it 5 years faster. I wonder if the investment pays off as it's implemented. Or does it pay off at all? It's really cheaper to move from coal to other ways of producing electricity? I'm asking about the current state of things because I'm sure in the future it'll be cheaper and cheaper
>their contempt for their fellow coworkers should be whitewashed. //

If they violated work regulations then they should have been disciplined, did they, were they?

Do you mean contempt for the people or was it for their views; how was it different to your contempt for them?

Refraining from heavily and repeatedly deriding someone in an obituary doesn't mean you're whitewashing anything.
I wish Microsoft wouldn't alpha-test their browser-experiment on real-world-users. Since Edge is out, I find it totally useless. It has also been a total fail on the accessibility front. To release something that is inaccessible from the start is no longer acceptable in 2020 methinks, especially from a big player like MS. The word that comes to mind is embarrasment.
Is it correct that this person has literally never written a line of code? wow
I know this isn't a very popular opinion, but I've always thought that was a hugely stupid idea in the first place. Instead of shutting down nuclear power plants, we should have doubled down on them and spent more money on research to make them safer (as I understand it, there's still many unexplored concepts to make nuclear power much safer and reduce nuclear waste) and more efficient.

The sad truth is, that decision was largely driven by uninformed and emotional reactions to a single event on the other side of the world. Many people think a nuclear reactor can blow up like an atomic bomb, probably from movies and games as well as just assuming everything "nuclear" is inherently explosive and dangerous.

It depends on what kind of chance we are talking about.

See eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathtub_curve for a common way to fail. Or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reliability_engineering in general.

You are right about some specific kinds of spontaneous failures. (Though not sure if external power failures are distributed that way.)

Recently had a conversation on how functional programming and declarative programming were somewhat linked, and how i observed that languages that started to go down the functional road slowly tried to add more and more capabilities for DSLs, and then slowly moved toward becoming a lisp. But that was just my feeling.

is this theorized somewhere ? Or am i just dreaming ?
it's not expensive considering the alternative is we all die in a giant fireball.

Also currently on HN frontpage is "Climate threats now dominate long-term risks, survey of global leaders finds" so maybe adverting that is worth the cost.

I have Ring Fit for the Nintendo Switch. You attach one controller to the physical ring that you can push or pull, rotate or flick up and down. You can use ring motions to control menus, and even if I think it registers fine, it's much more convenient to use the controller.

I'm so happy that they kept that as an option, and I always use the attached controller rather than flipping the ring around. It's just quicker and more convenient.

No. You seem to falsely assume that nobody has empathy for the guy who was arrested. I personally think that it was alright for Ghosn to flee, because the Japanese "justice" system is inherently unjust. It does not fulfill the basic requirements for due process, and that is also the reason why e.g. France has already stated they would not extradite him if he came to France. At the same time it is very regrettable that someone in Turkey was arrested for helping him. I also think that the claim that his family was threatened is not very credible and likely a protection assertion.

I'd be surprised if Ghosn thought about this in any other way. People tend to assert all kinds of evilness to wealthy top managers when in the end most of them are just ordinary people who made the right career choices at the right time.
Well, yeah. That's what sharing the things you've written with them is.
