> That report (Fairlie, Sumner 2006)

Please reread my posts here, beginning with the very first. I was writing about another report, titled "Chernobyl: Consequences of the Catastrophe for People and the Environment", by Yablokov & Nesterenko. It was not authored by Fairlie.
If you clicked once to the Wikipedia references I provided since my first post you could see that. Here it is, once again: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl:_Consequences_of_the...

You may think that European Greens reports aren't credible, however this is IMHO a very weak counter-argument, simply the classical ad hominem fallacy at work.

My argument here is that this "What are the safest sources of energy?" article contents is highly debatable because it builds upon debatable theories. If the Chernobyl disaster really caused abut 1 million deaths, as stated by pertinent scientists in the aforementioned report, then the article's conclusions should be very different.

> Civilian nuclear energy rarely results in a nuclear weapons program

Iranian and North-Korean nuke weapons programs benefited massively from their civilian reactors, and this is widely documented ( see for example https://isis-online.org/publications/dprk/dprkplutonium.pdf )

Stating that the IAEA, which is an UN agency, has the power to prevent anything is just an opinion. Nearly all nations, small or huge, routinely neglect UN injonctions without any consequence.

> A legislature requiring a million year containment is far from an evaluation of the waste's toxicity.

This is an opinion. I, for one, cannot see any other reason for those legal dispositions. Actions aiming at keeping a repository sealed for 1 million years cost more than those necessary to keep it for "a few" centuries, this was a deliberate decision.

there was a time as in when charles darwin was a freshman, when the lecturer had the only copy of a particular book because they wrote it and bound it themselves, the lecture was how that book was disseminated

contemporary lectures in my past have always been about advancing knowledge that is not published in secondary literature in to correct concepts that have been modified.

I made tools to automate parts of my Canadian immigration practice, (as a non-lawyer, licensed legal services provider), but that was only increasing my profit and ability to scale. What I really got paid for was perceiving what the customer wanted, and matching that with what they could endure / afford / likely become eligible to do, while reassuring them they could still be happy. This part could not be automated.

Hello. I'm a published and self-taught researcher. I've worked on medical devices, open-source hardware, and low-cost biological applications. While working at two university labs, I gained experience with project management, planning, and operations. Currently, I am a director at a local community biolab.
I Love Lucy had a much bigger impact 30 years after it started than those shows, but the impact has faded. I'm only 42 and I still quote I Love Lucy all the time, because it was still in constant reruns in the 80s.

I think Simpsons might have an advantage given that it's run for 30 years.

No brokerage will do that. Here's an excerpt from the account agreement of Schwab, a respected discount broker:

In one scene, the poor mother says something like "If I was this rich, I'd be nice too" and then immediately scolds or hits a begging dog. In this scene, the poor woman is relatively rich - she has the house they've taken over for the weekend, plenty of food, and the dog is poor and begging. I interpreted this, as the two events happen one right after the other, as the movie clearly rejecting the woman's claim. Even when she has a lot, she won't share with one who has little and is just fundamentally mean.

Likewise, when the main family meets the hidden family - are they generous? They have much from fleecing the rich family, and the hidden family has, and asks, for very little. Nope, the main family is cruel to the hidden family and by rejecting them they initiate the final conflict.

Other poor people aren't as mean. The original staff at the house are diligent workers. The original driver offers to go above and beyond to drive the sister home. The hidden family are dedicated servants. The first tutor tries to help his friend.
I love the "Cone of Silence" reference toward the bottom of the Wikipedia page. I wonder how long it will last...
Below blog posting is old but one of the best info available in English on the Korean Healthcare system.

http://askakorean.blogspot.com/2010/01/healthcare-system-in-...

Some may consider the fact that Korean national health insurance only covers around 55 percent of the total healthcare cost to be problematic. This may be true if one takes the idea of guaranteed socialized medicine seriously. But for fiscal conservatives with some measure of compassion for the plight of the uninsured, this could be an attractive balance. While corruption is definitely still a problem with Korean government, the NHIC is surprisingly efficient and well-run. It does a great job squeezing out maximum value out of the tax it receives.
The problem is LE had five days between reporting the bug and revoking as per Baseline Requirements, but they decided to wait until the last day to send out E-mails. This is not only inconsiderate to customers but also downright reckless to sensitive deployments involving LE.
Quick example: They bought puts on Friday and couldn't unload them for a full day + following morning.

Monday morning puts were down - it was obvious the market was recovering in a big way. Instead of cutting losses at ~20% in the morning they lost ~99% of their position. Some lost 100% since the options expired EOD.

I had just left Berkeley when this was released. I remember installing it on every computer I had access to, which was a lot, because I was in IT at a startup so I could put it on every desktop we had. And every server we had (but of course at nice 19, until management found out).

For a while we were in the top 10, until much bigger companies got in on it.

Kinda sad to see it shut down, but to be fair, I haven't run it in years.

Yes. The scientist who discovered the first known community transmission in WA (last week) wrote this: https://bedford.io/blog/ncov-cryptic-transmission

Don't monorepos solve this? Lets presume I'm not a FAANG company (though some of those have monorepos) with a bazillion services, I'm just a startup with say 10 services. At that scale I think its pretty realistic to maintain a monorepo for all 10 services. That way every release only upgrades the version count by one.

The ring doorbell is already the prelude to this. Ubiquitous surveillance by suburban soccermoms is an even more dystopian scenario than the Chinese Communist party
Was there not enough sample from the previous two biopsies to send out for genomic sequencing? ... also for anyone in an initial cancer diagnosis situation, ask your oncologist to both the genomic sequence the tumor and get its methylation profile, also RNA seq too. A lot of this is new technology but there are CLIA labs that will do it. You can also wait and request that your preserved samples be sent out for analysis. In many cases there should be enough tissue to send out.
Fascinating how perception has changed since then; I think most people today would have the opposite sentiment: "How did software get so unreliable?"

My guess is: software creation and distribution became exponentially more accessible around that time (1996) with the advent of the web. Not only were many less-qualified individuals creating software (which isn't intrinsically a bad thing!), many more people were consuming software (making consumer software a much more lucrative market), and technology changes allowed companies to "move [much] fast[er] and break [more] things".

Businesses were always optimizing for profits, and the dot com boom simply changed the equation to where reliability was no longer profitable in the majority of the field.
I dislike the current culture that we have that demonizes emotions. The stance that being emotionless is superior to having emotions.

Emotions, like everything else, can either both drag people down....or be used to amplify their strengths. The problem is that society seems to only consider the former and disregard the latter.

Well, let me ask a few questions:

Did you ask permission of the original author to use a derived name?

Did you discuss your plan to commercialize the original author's work with the author? Before starting out?

Since starting a commercial project, how much money have you given to the original author?

Ask HN: What features for an offline Hacker News reader?
HN is a treasure trove of information. The primary way I read HN is to bookmark stories and read the comments when the discussion is complete. Others actively participate. Some get jobs via "Who is hiring?". We all use HN differently.

There are ways to read HN other than this website. However, I have not found one that meets all of these requirements:

- Self-hosted.
- Offline access of data.
- Query data via SQL.
- Full text search of stories and comments.
- Notification of replies to comments.

Some ideas:

1) A tool that maintains a copy of the HN API[1] in an SQLite database, with indexing and full-text search[2]. This supports the development of the other tools.

2) A command line tool that demonstrates how to use the database and supports the development of scripts. For example:

#!/bin/sh
# Run notify whenever someone replies to a comment.
$ hn replies username | notify

3) A web UI for browsing and searching. This can be hosted locally or on a remote server.

Unemployment/underemployment has been a huge problem in S. Korea for a long time such that a college graduate getting a career track job (any like Police officer, government worker, job in a chaebol, etc) is a cause for celebration.

One thing Americans might fall into thinking is that they poor family in the movie is similar to welfare queens in US. Afaik, there isn't enough support for one to live as a welfare queen in S. Korea.

Another different factor is Jeonse. In S. Korean real estate rental market, monthly rent is rare. Most are rented out as Jeonse. With Jeonse, instead of paying monthly rent, a renter will make a lump-sum deposit on a rental space, at anywhere from 50% to 80% of the market value.

This allow a poor family to have relatively secure housing (although it would be undesirable) while having no money for other essentials.
Thank you for the comment - monorepos indeed make things better to a degree. From one perspective, you now can point your Product (package) to the whole monorepo.

But in reality, you're still facing same issue - let's say your components X and Y are updated in monorepo. You want X in production, but not Y - so now you have to invent something on top of monorepo to capture this. Another words back to square 1.

Regarding startups, in my experience they start feeling this pain when they already have 5-6 microservices. But YMMV - depends on a lot of factors.
They do in part but developers need to be aware of two major things:

1. Always be backwards compatible in protocols and data formats.

If you store data on disk or in a table you V1 and V2 tables need to be generally compatible.

V2 should always be able to read V1 tables. This helps with rollouts.

In an ideal case V1 should gracefully handle V2 tables. This helps with rollbacks.

2. Service to service communications work between V1 and V2.

If you don't want downtime you have to gracefully handle the situation in which V2 is rolling out. In a zero-downtime deployment config like blue/green V2 instances can get requests from V1 instances and vice versa.

Monorepos don't help with these situations. These are just engineering practices that have to be upheld by the team. Monorepos will make the atomic source code updates applied across the codebase easy.
They've already completed construction of the ansible, the design of which was decoded several years ago.
