I think fukuyama's book on high + low trust societies is about these topics

heard someone claim in an interview that low and mixed-trust societies generally turn to surveillance / censorship

'which attributes of a society enable free speech' is a question people we'll ask seriously + continuously about online communities
> You can actually change this in the user menu.

Now that I went looking for this, I saw it - but before that, I just thought it was weird menu decoration. It should just be an actual menu item with a label (and preferably some kind of text selection rather than ambiguous icons).

> More sharing features methods are coming soon!

But I don't even know how to share anything in the first place. That's part of the problem.
At least in Germany they tend to do a lunch break which is great if you want to use their airspace to test some research equipment. (You don't get told their schedule, only whether it's in use, but if it is it usually works out to sit on the runway with your plane at ~13h and wait for them to take the break.)
> I just can't help to think this is kind of stupid-naive virtue signaling. It feels like some bunch of uber-priviledged SV guys who think too high of themselves want to feel good about something

Except that’s not what happened. This was spearheaded by Black developers who don’t want to have to read about “slaves” being “rekicked” at their jobs. Is that not a reasonable request?

Ask HN: Are there any messaging apps supporting Markdown?
I'd like to easily send formatted code, and bullet points, etc. through a messaging app without having to resort to a heavy app like Slack.

It's been seen to have a positive effect, yes, but the Side-effects are said to be much worse than the symptoms themselves. My advice would be to stay home, stay safe and find something for one to do; like reading articles that give us more knowledge about the world we live in. An example would be https://environmentbuddy.com/environment/10-examples-of-keys...
I'm not sure about bloomberg, but Facebook Engineering blogs and the Economist have been here forever. The Economist is only second to the wall street journal for comments that include "Why is paywalled content on HN??? :'("
I went through a phase of reading about nuclear power and in particular the nuclear accidents. It feels like we kinda got to the Comet¹ stage of Nuclear power and gave up. We still learn lessons from each accident, for example Fukushima has resulted in Passive auto recombiners being installed which convert hydrogen back to water. It also added provisions for using mobile generation and cooling (fire trucks).

I certainly don't have the answer but to how we can make nuclear power fool proof but I do feel like we should still be asking the question.

He may be a crank, but his theories are actually entertaining. There's a reason why The X-Files was super popular.
As everything else on the clearnet, it's been corrupted by corporativism. Cultural homogenization truly seems unstoppable from here.
For a deep, but deeply entertaining introduction to extraordinarily high-level concepts that remain useful tools of thought forever - Godel, Escher, Bach. That belongs on everyone's bookshelf.

For a kind of "cabinet of curiosities", I endorse "Wonders of Numbers" by Clifford Pickover. This book was pivotal in my relationship with mathematics, containing as it does brief excursions into all manner of fascinating topics like cellular automata, and the Collatz Conjecture, as well as a host of more obscure oddities. It's a perfect book to have around when learning programing as well, since it has a nearly bottomless well of interesting things to code. Nor is it dry, thanks to Pickover's whimsical style.
They’re selling watches, they just released the iPhone SE which competes with mid-range Android phones, and they have new revenues from their rent seeking activities on App Store and Apple Pay. In addition, their new line of Mac ARM will remove the Intel tax. I think they’ll do just fine without becoming another advertisement company.
I've used both. The problem I had with ZD is that it uses a non-standard "ligature" (not sure what the non-coding term is) to identify zettels. This means lock in not just to emacs, but to a specific package. Org-roam OTOH uses standard org-mode notation, which means I can freely mix deft with org-roam or any other package that plays nice with org-mode.
Yes. People copy passwords, SSNs, crypto wallet secrets, and more in a clipboard that pretty much any app or website or system service can see without permission. I'm surprised we haven't seen more attacks on it, honestly.

I have long wanted to build a secure multi-clipboard, one where you can copy with Ctrl+shift+1, ctrl+shift+2 etc and paste with Ctrl+1 and Ctrl+2

It would keep those hidden from any app until explicitly pasted. I was thinking you could co-opt the system keyboard to get the same functionality, but it clears the system clipboard instantly after any copy/paste.
I know I'm commenting on the site and not the story -- maybe this is against the spirit of HN -- but hasn't Bloomberg lost credibility here ever since "The Big Hack"?

Are we still okay with them? Are we just okay with them as long as it's not a tech story? If so, is this an example of Gell-Mann Amnesia? [1]

Ask HN: How do you keep proper posture while seated?
I already have an ergonomic chair. It doesn't seem to help that much. Any tips for keeping proper posture while seated? I realize that standing and taking a break is good. Often I need to log a period of time in my chair though.
There are absolutely some huge unknowns out there. Here's one that fascinates me: The earliest evidence for crop domestication around the world all happen within roughly 1-2k years of each other. Hundreds of thousands of years of foraging, and all of a sudden agriculture evolves independently half a dozen times in that tiny span. We've spilled libraries worth of ink on the subject, but pretty much the only firm conclusion we have is that there wasn't a singular cause.

There is a [paraphrased] saying that might explain your friend's reactions though: the most exciting thing in archaeology is your data, the most boring is someone else's data.

We have to compartmentalize a lot because there's an overwhelming amount of stuff out there.
This is almost exactly what I was going to write. Don't be afraid to send episode alerts if people clicked a button labelled "episode alerts" and signed up for a mailing list caled "episode alerts". But if you see a value in less-frequent, make that an option.

Or try to actually track it to see which is working. If you send every 3 episodes, do people watch all three? When you send a mail, do you see more eyeballs on the first, or more eyeballs on the more recent?

I guess the risk here is that you're getting 33% of the engagement to save 1% churn. Is 1\1000 worth more than 3\990?
Agree who you are responding to is out there but this bit is critical: "unless someone who didn’t speak it was in the room." I was always raised to consider it rude to essentially exclude people from a conversation that way.
Probably because made up stories about a cataclysm on a strict 12,000 year cycle sells a lot more books. The truth can be fascinating. But a lot of times, fiction is even more interesting. Especially if you try to pass it off as the truth.
To clarify: molten fueled reactors (like LFTRs) trivially can't have their fuel accidentally melt, because their fuel is already molten. (And there are some nice options for dumping their fuel into a subcritical passively-cooled configuration in case of an emergency.) This is different from TRISO fuel, which isn't supposed to be molten in normal operation but which structurally limits the spread of fuel and fission products at high temperatures.
As someone with a PhD in pharmacology and worked in the pharmaceutical industry: pessimism and skepticism are the right attitudes in drug discovery, most things don't work.
He makes his living by telling stories to a popular audience. He's optimizing for a good story rather than accuracy.
To be fair, they didn't say that using a functional language made it different from gluing together disparate solutions, just that it made it elegant and fun. Though admittedly, even that is at best subjective.
I'd like Santana Row more if the people there weren't so obnoxious. Their pecking order seems to be determined by:

1) How rare and expensive your car is

2) Having the exhaust modified to be as loud as possible

3) Demonstrating (1) and (2) every thirty seconds
No code review in the front-end of a bank?
Yes, and no. Most(?) pebble bed reactors have used triso style fuel (there was a similar earlier fuel type called biso, don't know if any reactors using it were ever built), but triso fuel can be used in other reactor types as well.

And yes, triso is pretty cool tech. Like the article says, it can withstand exceptional temperatures without any fission products escaping.
Zeus sounds like furnished corporate apartments -- i.e. a competitor to something like Marriott Residence Inn -- rather than "co-living." (These apartments have historically been used for relocation or for when an exec or someone else needs to spend a lot of time in a location away from their home base.)
The article is conflating two very different kinds of "meltdown". A meltdown during actual reactor operation is the kind the article is talking about in the first paragraph, and the kind that the type of reactor discussed in the article is designed to make impossible, according to the rest of the article.

But the meltdown at Fukushima was caused by lack of decay heat removal after shutdown, which is different from what could or could not happen during actual reactor operation. So there are two kinds of "prevent meltdown" that are required, not one. The article does not talk at all about how, or whether, the type of reactor it discusses would prevent a meltdown of the second kind, the kind that happened at Fukushima.
Any chance you could share your package.json in a gist? I'm trying to get more familiar with them, would love to see a clean 10-line example.
Can anyone speak to the implications for this type of Triso fuel and radioactive waste? Is there less radioactive waste once it is spent or how similar is it to other types of nuclear fuel in that regard?
They can melt. They all do during fuel synthesis. They're pre-melted.
These very small fuel particles are embedded in larger graphite structures with whatever geometry is convenient for handling. (Pebble bed pebbles are one such possibility, and PBRs have been made which use TRISO-based fuel pebbles.)
> Do they? Or do they because of really shitty broken public transport.

Yes, they do. The reason why people don't use private cars and opt for public transit is typically related to cost of ownership and / or inadequate infrastructure for moving cars into, out of, and around the cities efficiently given current usage. A car is better than public transit in basically every way except maybe safety (although public transit users have their own safety concerns).

Cars are point to point as opposed to having to make connections; cars operate on demand as opposed to running on an arbitrary schedule; cars enable living in a greater variety of locations as opposed to proximal to a transit hub; cars enable privacy as opposed to having to deal with other people; cars are more comfortable than public transit; cars allow you to move cargo which is infeasible on public transit; cars are much more efficient for medium distance (intra-state) travel than public transit; cars keep you out of the elements which public transit frequently does not
....

In reality public transit is required to allow cities to scale efficiently, but many use it because they have to, not because they actually want to.
True, though many Americans have access to credit. Though that can't be sustained, it can work for a while.
I'm not sure how facebook.com is considered mass media in your example, the link is to their AI research microsite.

Bloomberg has around 20k HN listings[1], of which a majority are around technical topics or relating to scientific/technical topics i.e patents or law which are valuable to HN community, granted some of them are duplicates and possibly spam but I wouldn't rule out clicking on one.

No. LFTRs have fluid fuel. There are some solid-fueled clean molten salt cooled reactors that are called Fluoride salt cooled high-temperature reactors (FHRs).
Judging by your response (and the amount of comments you've made in this thread) I don't think you really took the time to think about my comment.

We obviously didn't chose black list or white list to donate race but regardless it's another brick in wall for black to equate to bad.

As a white European this has no impact on me in any way shape or form apart from wanting a more inclusive space for my friends.

Out of interest why are you so against the idea of changing terms? In your comment here (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=f3295cde) you make the comparison of "will replace the word 'football' as it is offensive to people with limb difference", you do realise these are fundamentally different issues right? People aren't looking to replace the words for the fun of it.

OMG QBASIC FLASHBACKS!!!!!!!!!
Yet more neocon waffle. I wonder who the US intends to provoke a war with in the near future, China, Iran or Russia. I wonder is there an election coming up. A small war would be good for ratings. Just who in their right mind connects control equipment directly to the Internet. (you are cancelled)
Some would call this a house arrest.
In my experience input lag in Google Docs is very small but noticeable compared to local writing.

You can get used to it, but I prefer more snappy experience.
At least with HN, no matter the article posted here, you can comment on here if the authors of the article decide to not open the comments section, for some strange reason.

Trouble is, the comments will only be on this site unless the comments link is pasted on other websites and there's a risk of the comments box itself being closed because of it being
flagged and dead.
All those things breakdown in the presence of Mother Nature. If there is anything our future selves are going to find it's plastic.

> Can someone explain this to me?

I think it's lock-down. a lot of people have lots of time now, either they lost their job or are now struggling even more than previously. They are being sucked into the hell of MSM trying to fill their time.

can't blame people for tuning into weak content - it's a form of escape which leads to more such content getting eye-balls and ultimately being submitted and upvoted.

it's not all bad. People now maybe read things they never paid attention to before. I now also see a lot more links to arts and the humanities being shared.

it's easy to just ignore something that doesn't match my interest. weak content hardly ever makes it past 100 upvotes and doesn't stay long. the best way to combat this is to find and share great things yourself. after all the quality of this site depends on what everyone here submits

They’re private. The rationalist community had a real problem with targeted online harassment (e.g. sneerclub) and so they went private, even though that means there’s no on-ramp for new people except through in-person meetups...
Both of these are closer to the original Olympic ethos than Fortnite.

As is [for better and for worse perceptions of the original Olympic ethos] naked Twister.
"Usually" is not the best word here, I agree. What I meant is that it's "often the case". There are multitude of examples from Middle Ages in Europe(and before that), and Vikings etc. Not only people from Africa were were victims of slave trade.
Across the ocean? The walking theory breaks down when you look at the development of the Americas. That actually almost certainly kills any theory that communication is required. At least in the Americas, the timing was surely a coincidence?
Yeah, upscale department stores were saved by the fact that a standalone Gucci store would not work in most places, unlike a standalone Gap or Old Navy or Home Depot.

The big box format is also interesting, because the big boxes were not built to last and a good deal of what made the finances work was local governments of rural and new-growth suburban areas falling over themselves to provide tax breaks for jobs. This strategy didn't pan out too well when they tried expanding into urban areas using the exact same format (they are now changing it up), and now the big box stores are at the end of their useful lives and a lot are being abandoned as well.
Worked at Cinnabon when they still made the rolls from things that were identifiably ingredients. Mall-walkers are a real thing in the mornings. They came in and walked for as long as they'd like while the mall slowly got itself ready for the day, and then they left. Nobody's checking at the exits to make sure they've spent money.
Maybe apple should implement some more APIs around clipboard metadata, they could allow queries on content type and length or something without that notification. Or even check the hash of clipboard contents. Anything to protect privacy but still allow useful features.
They are designed to be operated at much higher temperatures because the use gas as a coolant where they can effectively use natural convection to remove decay heat.
It's not only diversity. It is also the fact that grown ups will write f%%ck instead of fuck because it may offend some people.

A breast on TV sent America crazy. A woman breast. Sorry, a n%%%ple. Most of people had one right in front of their eyes at some point in life. Or their mouth, which is disgusting enough to have women cover their breast when breastfeeding.

I am French. Our culture is way more aligned with normality than others when it comes to fuck, fucking and breasts. But even here, when I compare to what we had as teens in the 80's,I have the impression that today we are back in the middle ages.
The Facebook link is to AI research. Seems very on topic.

The Bloomberg story is interesting to this cohort as many people pay a ton of money for it and thus are interested in seeing how it might be disrupted.

And why would paywall deter a group of techies? Getting around them is trivial.
League of Legends was introduced in the last Asian games, I think when they tried to get it included in the Olympics it was rejected on the basis of promotion of violence. So we'll see how it goes this time
I've used emacs in a dev environment and about 5 years ago i carted my 3000 or so text files from vim/markdown to emacs/org-mode.

I agree, it is an amazing procrastination tool. My advice is to stick to spacemacs with very few configs. About a year ago i started from scratch with my .spacemacs. Now I've got about 20 lines in there, I use deft/org-roam/fira code, and org-attach and I think the less you fiddle the better off you'll be. Think of it like a 20 year old car-yes you can put a turbo in there, yes, you can chop the springs and lower it, but 1 there will be less people to help you when it breaks, and 2 it will break more often.

Honestly, org-roam is moving so fast that if you aren't in the slack or at least watching the commits, I'd think twice. I'm betting there will be breaking changes in the future, whereas deft is rock solid.
At no point was anyone labeled a racist, misogynist or anti-LGBTQ. I actually do have concerns about Airbnb using an opt-in policy for this. However, my point wasn't about "how do I feel about Airbnb's change in policy". Ok, so what was it about:

A guy getting a job at an animal shelter because he thinks it'll help him get laid is virtue signaling. Someone adhering to a religious practice by fasting is virtue signaling. Someone changing their facebook profile pic to have a logo for some cause is virtue signaling. A company prompted by recent events wanting to investigate if there is discrimination on their platform isn't.
Reminds me of how the Space Shuttle Main Engines gained improvements over time so you could then set them to 104.5% thrust. Higher modes were later available. From Wikipedia on RS-25 engines:

- Block IIA (RS-25C): First flown on STS-89, the Block IIA engine was an interim model used whilst certain components of the Block II engine completed development. Changes included a new large throat main combustion chamber (which had originally been recommended by Rocketdyne in 1980), improved low pressure turbopumps and certification for 104.5% RPL to compensate for a 2 seconds (0.020 km/s) reduction in specific impulse (original plans called for the engine to be certified to 106% for heavy International Space Station payloads, but this was not required and would have reduced engine service life). A slightly modified version first flew on STS-96.

- Block II (RS-25D): First flown on STS-104, the Block II upgrade included all of the Block IIA improvements plus a new high pressure fuel turbopump. This model was ground-tested to 111% FPL in the event of a contingency abort, and certified for 109% FPL for use during an intact abort.
I recently started using both org-mode and org-roam, but I keep my notes/bookmarks/journals/etc in a notes folder, with a timestamp. So far a combination of aliases, and tags help me find what I'm looking for pretty easily.

Great. My Fourteen years old son, just went back to Minecraft Leaving Fortnite Land. Is is doing elaborate constructions. I was planning to use it to teach him programming. After reading a lot about Minecraft Edu and installed it, I discovered it is just for schools. You can't buy it.

The greatest problem with these resources is that they use the XBox Microsoft version, instead of the Java. Maybe this Mod book will be the best thing.
