I think in some situations if users see value in the opt-in then it can be ok. E.g. your phone asking you if you're happy to share your location with an app. I sure as hell want my mapping app to know where I am, but I also feel very comforted that I still get a say in the process. The thing about this tracking opt-in is that no user would ever want it because it's solely there to exploit them. So in this case I think you're 100% right.
Most of the time the rows are circular the irrigation system is a moving structure that rotates around the central point, where water is pumped into the system, then drops down on the crops.

They frequently do have a sprayer at the end, but it's not sufficient to cover more than an extra few rows around the corners.
The system is functioning as designed. But if you're implying that it can't be improved then I don't know if I agree with that. For instance, it might be possible that savvy candidates use interviews to vet whether they want to work there, because for every offer they get, there are hundreds more they could get (and often up to a dozen that they do get).

If that is the case, then it's possible that a broken system could end up coming into existence in a company that:

- has a revolving door of expensive attrition

- loses all the good talent so that ones that remain aren't good at their jobs

- slowly ossifies into place

- can't seem to get things done

- eventually loses its customers

- loses market position, growth and relevance

- becomes a bankrupted carcass eventually stripped for parts by a distressed asset firm

Sounds familiar? I agree that if you fail to adapt to the system, there are hundreds willing to take your place. But where we may disagree is whether I'd envy any of them. I'll tell you one thing, though -- I've never had to sacrifice my career trajectory to just put up with this kind of nonsense. In fact, the places I've had to put up with it the most are the places where I've grown the least and leaving opened up a much better opportunity afterwards.
It’s really best to design everything for a shared app shared db model, and to have a user/tenant heirarchy in every app. You can start with each user belonging to their own tenant. You can in the future shard the db and/or app by tenant for scalability, you can provide a dedicated instance as required for data residency or whatever.
You should really take a look at the paper "Computation and Pattern Formation by Swarm Networks with Brownian Motion" or, more generally, any of the papers by Teijiro Isokawa and Ferdinand Peper. What they present is really close to (a theoretical version of) the microbots you're talking about.

I even wrote a report and presentation on those papers for university, but sadly they're in German.
These circular areas are created by a rotating structure (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_pivot_irrigation) not one sprinkler in the center of the field.

The machines often have a radius of 400m, so they're a lot bigger than the range even a firehose could achieve.
Doesn't exist. If we had a 1% failure rate, we'd have a nuclear catastrophe every year since we have over 400 active reactors world-wide.
> It's not just the death count for which, btw, we still don't even have reliable numbers!

We don't have reliable numbers because the effect of leaked radioactive materials on public health is so low that it's hard to distinguish it from background noise.

>advertisements which are custom-tailored to my tabulated interests are far superior to the ads I would get through traditional context advertising.

actually my post is not arguing with that, however facing the reality where interest tracking/profiling will become harder or impossible good old context-based ads might at some point become better alternative. Not because they're inherently more efficient but because, with changes like that, interest tracking might become infisible or too resource consuming
It's odd to me that anti-nuclear is being labelled anti-science. It's almost like the pro-nuclear people have blinders on. Nuclear is fantastic, in theory. In practice, in the real world, the consequences of accidents are extraordinarily bad and costly. The odds of a bad accident may be very small, but they are not zero (cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_and_radiation_accident...). And dealing with the waste is another highly risky and unsolved problem.

I will be happily become pro-nuclear the moment that all the real-world externalities are actually priced in. How much do you think it cost to have 1,000 square miles in the Ukraine uninhabitable for the next 20,000 years? What if such an accident happens in a densely populated area?

How much do you think it will cost to keep all that nuclear waste safe for the next half a million years or so? Plutonium-239's half-life is 24,000 years, and isotopes are dangerous for 10 to 20 times their half-life (cf https://www.livescience.com/33127-plutonium-more-dangerous-u...).

The same problem of externalities exists for fossil fuels, of course. And even for hydro power in a different way: it has displaced millions of people and flooded many beautiful places.
Will do! ICE is layer 4(I think ?)

ICE is used to establish connectivity over UDP, TCP, TLS or DTLS. With a preference in that order. It just keeps falling back to more expensive transports if the prior ones failed.
Flight Sim 2004 probably was the peak of tutorials - they effectively had a full "ground school" of how to fly, with content by an actual flight instructor (Rod Machodo).

That content had written lessons (something also makes me think video lessons, but I may be remembering wrongly) that took you through the theory and practice of things like VOR navigation.

I'm not too optimistic for it appearing on Flight Sim 2020, (it probably required too much attention span and understanding of geography/navigation), but I imagine that the community will step up.

Already the community is doing a great job "fixing" the default A320 and implementing bits of the avionics systems that Asobo left "inop". There's a mission editor that should enable setting up interactive "lessons", and with the number of youtube videos on how to fly VORs and similar (some with flight sim footage and explanations), I imagine the content is all there for curating together.
Many years back, at the cusp of consumer internet taking off I owned a magazine company - we worked purely in print.

Pure black is often not the correct colour for text, unless it’s monokrome (“B&W”) printing, rather than CMYK (but more on that later, because B&W monokrome black is often not “true black” either).

If you are printing CMYK you rarely use key (“K” - black) on its own, but rather use a CMYK mix to build a black shade, to give a rich black (more M) or cooler black (more C) or balanced black - neutral but not stark. The different mix can really change the way a page feels - and the right mix on the right paper (“stock”) can make the black pop or muddy, and have a huge impact on readability. This is really important when you’re designing for print. It really does make the difference between someone continuing to read and chucking your print aside after a paragraph. Good print designers know how to build different blacks for different stock.

When you are printing in monokrome black you are really printing g a shade of grey, to a greater or lesser extent, determined by the absorbency of the paper you are printing on.

And, indeed, different inks have different qualities so some “black” ink for monokrome print maybe be built from various pigments giving it a slight blue sheen or a brownish tint under certain lights. Plus inks - and the paper substrate - are more or less reflective meaning they will behave and appear differently depending on the light conditions.

I loved working in print.
I’ve recently started looking into moving to Azores. Seems not as hot as Canary Islands and more green, almost like New Zealand.

Has the Gulf of Mexico recovered from deepwater horizon? How many ecosystems were lost permanently? Animals living in the exclusion zone have a life expectancy 30% lower than those in the surrounding area (based on the last paper I read about the topic) so it's not an acceptable risk for humans but it's still peanuts compared to the damage that single spill did to the Gulf ecosystem.

It's an extension of the cognitive bias you point out. Just because we humans find the area too risky to inhabit afterwards doesn't mean that the damage made a meaningful impact on the survivability of our planet.

No reason to make it into a painting. Photos of this kind of thing can be art in their own right. I mean, who cares, but it's worth being aware that large photographic prints are acceptable as art, and, actually, photorealistic painting is often considered pretty cheesy.

The automatic shutdown contributed.

Fukushima needed cooling pumps to operate. There were 3 ways to power the pumps:

1. the reactor itself, automatically shut down when the earthquake was detected

2. diesel generators, shut down by flooding

3. power lines from elsewhere, shut down by the tsunami knocking them down

Clearly, shutting down the reactor is a self-inflicted problem. Had they left it running, the pumps would have had power, and the whole disaster wouldn't have happened.

It's a stupid panic-driven regulation that a nuclear power plant must shut down for an earthquake. Once the earthquake hits, it is too late to reach a cool shut-down state. That would take weeks. There is no justification for doing the shutdown. It just caused problems, leading to disaster.
It's conspiracy theory. How on earth would Greece, a NATO and EU member, annex a piece of another sovereign country, especially in the middle of ongoing NATO military operations in a highly unstable region.

The current training "missions" seem to be straightforward "ports" of the old training missions from FSX/FS 2004, but without the ground school written material to match.

I'm hopeful with the advent of YouTube and high quality video capture and streaming, we'll see video-based ground school lessons emerge that can partner with lessons.

Who knows, perhaps there's a mini business model here for creators to sell (via Patreon or even the built-in store?) curated mission lessons that go along with their YouTube content? I believe MS has confirmed you'll be able to make mission packs and distribute them via the store. And given how fast the modding is taking off, you probably already can drag a folder into your Community packages folder and have it work.

The argument being made here, that industrial research labs have disappeared because they did not produce enough return on investment, ignores competing sources of ROI. Today, the easiest way to make a lot of money is in finance, not discovering new things. Other stories on HN have bemoaned how Boeing has destroyed itself by shrinking engineering and expanding cost cutting. As is pointed out in another comment, if the Fed is subsidizing the stock market, finance is the place to be. Research not so much.
The Basics of Building on the Internet Computer
That sounds ridiculous.
Agreed. The question I meant to raise was nuclear power versus other alternative energy sources, eg wind/solar/hydropower/geothermal. Comparisons of nuclear power to these other sources are typically dishonest in that they do not account for nuclear disasters. This may be an acceptable risk but it needs to at least be included in analysis, say one disaster per 100 operating years (my estimate of this value: 1 in 50-500 years). Globally, there’s only 440 operating nuclear power plants and there’s been ~100 nuclear disasters. In the last 20 years, there have been at least 6 nuclear plant disasters that cause more than $100 million in property damage.

We are moving by increments toward not letting content on a page send information directly to a separate origin.

With content addressable networks, it would be a challenge to enforce this, which implies rolling back security improvements, which means security regression.

For interactive content, at least part of the page has to have an origin. Maybe only the root document get an origin, and the rest gets none or the same?

But then what happens with domain expiry?

It may mean that interactive documents require a web server, even if the bulk of the page, or even a document tree, is stitched together from addressable content.

Why would you gatekeep on something that is mostly a hobby and for volunteers. Putting a continuing ed requirement on that is just going to piss off people.

Clean air regulations prevent deliberate involuntary fucking. Aka “rape.” Fire policy is largely for the economic benefit of ranching, agricultural, mining, and timber interests. Occasionally tourism. And only incidentally a few homeowners.

This is a tsunami for ad tech. Facebook just being the tip of the iceberg here.

Tracking or not tracking is not really the topic here. Rather, this is yet another proof of how abusive Apple is. They claim killing IDFA is for the sake of users' privacy, while they do track users and their behavior and feed them sponsored search results on the App Store (via Apple Search Ads). This ability is just too good to share!

Apple is giving 3 months notice to an entire industry, this is just not nice. They do it for tracking this time, 'social' login next, and you name it. This idea of doing business unilaterally will backfire at some point...

Regardless, the next 12 months are going to be as interesting as the rise of Facebook Ads on mobile, the rise of re-targeting or SEM. Because the entire ad tech stack is looking for alternatives and doing anything it can to remain effective on iOS. Get ready for some good and some ugly! Looking forward to seeing what Google will do with their own advertising ID on Android.
Termgraphics looks awesome, I'll try it out this week!
Yep, that's true. It's the cache misses that kill performance. If the client asks for file "Foo", and the (l)stat fails to find it, then we have to scan the whole directory looking for any case-differing versions of "foo" "FOO" "fOo" etc.

Very costly, but the only way to give case-insensitivity.

I assume you're from Germany when I'm reading your arguments.

> Nuclear power plants rank first in the amount of economic damage done.

No, that's not what science says:

> https://world-nuclear-news.org/Articles/US-study-presents-tr...

> https://haas.berkeley.edu/wp-content/uploads/WP304.pdf

> And you are seriously calling for mass adoption?

Yes, and that's actually happening:

> https://in.reuters.com/article/china-nuclearpower/china-to-b...

> https://www.energy.gov/ne/nuclear-reactor-technologies/small...

> https://pris.iaea.org/PRIS/WorldStatistics/UnderConstruction...

> It makes me mad hearing younger people falling for the propaganda of nuclear power lobbyists who didn't have to live through these accidents.

Actually, no one in the West ever thought that the RBMK was a reliable design which is why it was never licensed outside the USSR.

> We have plenty of space and money to turn our grid into 100% renewables, that are safe and cheap. All it would take is the political will to do so.

Germany will have spent more than 500 billion Euros by 2025 for their shift to renewables, yet they are still among the dirtiest producers of electricity:

> https://www.electricitymap.org/

Germany emits 400 grams of CO2 per kWh on average, France just 50 grams. At the same time, the kWh in Germany costs 31 cents while it costs only 17 cents in France:

> https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php...

And if that isn't already enough, Germany is building and planning more gas and coal power plants:

> https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_geplanter_und_im_Bau_bef...

> https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_geplanter_Kohlekraftwerk...

> The times to propose an outdated, dangerous and hard-to-control technology for commercial power generation are over.

No, they are not. See my links above. Any country which is actually serious about reducing their CO2 emissions in the electricity sector is massively ramping up the construction of nuclear power plants:

Russia, Finland, Egypt, India, Bangladesh, Czech Republic, Poland, France, the UK, Turkey, Japan, China, the US, Belarus, United Arab Emirates etc. They are all building or planning nuclear power plants.

Germany is the big outlier in the list of the biggest industrial countries and it's just a matter of time when they're joining back the countries who are building and operating NPPs again.

There is simply no alternative, the shift to renewables causes new fossil plants to be constructed which is something we need to avoid by all means if we want to save the climate.
Just because you need a bit of science to understand nuclear power plants doesn’t mean that it makes sense to build new nuclear plants.

New nuclear is simply too expensive, with high construction costs in the west.

It does, but how much of this is objectively the parent deciding?

And how much of it is FUD society.

I’m yet to meet the parent whose run the numbers and can tell me what is more likely that their one drink before driving will kill their kids or letting them play out.

So we rely on messages - and the media provides them. Tells us to be scared. The thing to be scared of is the new thing that’s interesting. In the early 2010s it was terrorism - but I haven’t heard that word for a while. Next it will be something else.

So I keep two thought processes going, one is protect kids of course, but the other is “am I being bullshitted”. What is the trade off by wrapping them up in a bubble.
I think the tutorials are not so useful in the game, however they gave me some basics. I spent some hours on YouTube and from zero flying knowlege, I can say I am now familiar with the Cessna 152 Takof, landing, navigation and also with the 172 with G1000 (including ILS). Wish all this introductions would be in the game.

However the overall experience is still very Beta. I got a lot of freezes, bugs on map (like a big bump on some runways that flip the airplane and game over) sometimes the nav get unresponsive (partial freeze of the game)

Even worse is that after you buy the game on steam, any in-app purchase is done on steam but download would be from microsoft and that just doesn’t work for a bunch of people.

At least this free models are just working when people copy them in place, while payed content is not even showing up at the moment.

>Note that this is not special to nuclear materials; it's true for a good chunk of industrial chemistry in general as well.

Hmm interesting. Where has this happened on the scale of Chernobyl or Fukushima? I can't thinking of any exclusion zones in once populated areas caused by industrial chemicals. Is the fact that plants are built near populated areas a factor?
I don't think so -- which parts are you wondering about?
