Yeah, you're correct. That's her point, I think?

What I'm driving at is that the minimalism and tidying-up trend leaves a lot to be desired, and I've known a few people who have gone too far with it. But that's my opinion. If you want to live with two plates and two glasses and one pan and a single spatula, by all means.

If you want to donate four bookshelves worth of physical reading material and go Kindle-only, so be it. I think your space will be lesser without those books, but it ain't my space.

I like homes that look and feel lived in. I've walked in to homes that don't have a trace of humanity in them and I find it quite depressing. Modern architecture, interior design, and a good deal of modern furniture pieces strike me as bland and unremarkable.

The existing regulatory structure for nuclear power was designed for the previous generation of reactors. I don’t have deep knowledge in this area, but it’s clear to me that more modern designs have very different risk profiles, and the regulatory structure should change to reflect that. This should reduce the compliance cost, which is a very large portion of the initial and operational costs of nuclear power.

In short - nukes are expensive now because they’re an extremely regulated industry. New designs are much safer and new regulation for them should therefore have much lower compliance costs.

> Advanced graphics R&D is driven primarily by video game firms

Just going to speak from my experience here; this makes it very hard to get into computer graphics research. Any academic won't want you working on stuff that's "funded by industry" rather than funded by NSF and DOE. But you won't be able to get an industry research position unless you did graphics research during schooling. You can sometimes make a case with HPC and CUDA work, but I've found it to be a tricky dilemma.
I'm not quite sure I follow. Doesn't the "logistical pain to maintain something spread over 10 sq. miles" have a human labor cost too?
At least in Oregon where I live, airbnb is legal if you have a business license and maybe a permit depending in your city. The subletting issue is a civil issue that the landlord would have to sue over.

I don't have a problem with this specific thing. Both Apple and Google are doing things like adding links to apps. This obviously won't please the die-hard web fanatics, but I think that this is a positive development. Something has to be done to avoid the Electron performance disaster that has befallen the desktop, and the only solution I can see is to go native.

Having said that, not being able to install apps from outside the App Store is a major problem. It's not healthy for our society, in the long-term, for the App Store and Google Play stores to be limiting the content as they do.

Solution? Let's campaign for openness in native apps! This way, we're not caught in the position of telling users that they have to put up with inferior UX and low battery life in exchange for freedom from central control.

I agree, but the argument is a non-starter here and equally so with the general public.

That may be true [1], but for a hotel operator the risk is really high and the reward really low: if someone finds a camera in your hotel room you risk losing your license, your investment (hotels aren't cheap), and you risk the city wanting to make an example out of you. You also need the rest of the hotel personnel not to notice. It's really not worth it.

An unlicensed operator running an operation alone from their literal living room doesn't have as much to lose. They might also not think ahead as much, since there is a lot less friction from idea to your first guest.

[1] I don't have stats in hidden cameras in hotels, though, but I would bet that hidden cameras are possible but not likely. At least for "decent" ones.

Thanks for your help.
Huh, as a European I wonder what other things we take for granted that is simply uncommon in other parts of the world. It’s very easy to be “home blind”
Of course, apart from how the actual implementation works I don't think many people have a problem with that. And if it was just that, Wigner's friend wouldn't be nearly as interesting, it would suffice to say that if quantum mechanical effects really keep working all the way up to the macroscopic level (which again is anything but obvious), that his friend's body and brain would simply be in a superposition of both states.

But this understand of the surroundings and capability to react to stimuli comes with a subjective experience, which is what is actually meant with "consciousness". This is the hard problem of consciousness[0].

I think a big part of the problem is the concept of sacrifice is falling by the wayside.

I feel my grandparents had a much more realistic understanding of the world and it's trade offs.

I get it, yes, it sucks to have controlled burns. No, it doesn't suck as bad as out of control wildfires.

But people want to have their cake and eat it at the same time. It's always been that way, but I feel there are less forces constricting such unrealistic, out of touch perspectives with reality. I feel such a perspective comes with wealth and living outside of nature. Anyone who's hiked enough, or gone camping understands the trade off between the convenience of what you carry and the weight it creates.

I've heard highly intelligent people argue that we should 'increase X in the production of Y', where X is some point that pretty much everyone agrees is good. But when I mention, well that will necessitate an increase in the cost of production of Y, since you are adding extra processes, the concept is rejected. It's really quite fascinating to me to see this manifest in so many aspects.
What is the RNC's stance on nuclear?

Does nuclear now enjoy bi-partisan support? Or just the Dems?
My suggestion would be to throw in related illustrative real world anecdotes that drive a point home (personal experiences of real world impact of the tech or the architecture decisions, for example) instead of exclamation marks. That conveys the 'interested' part, and shows you can demonstrate real world connections to stuff that might otherwise be dry and academic. But it doesn't use exclamation marks! ;)
Tesla releases new software update to visually detect speed limit signs
I’m not sure I agree with that. Yelp, for example has sunk countless businesses with poor food and customer service on the basis of customer complaints, and at the same time empowered others to grow. On the room share front, I can’t even count the number of regulated hotels I’ve been at that were completely unsanitary and unsafe.
I'm an investor in https://permits.com/ which is that exact space but potentially different business model.

Regardless, it's hard to make inroads into any government space if you don't already have experience in it. It's not nepotism or "backroom deals" but more just jargon, processes, understanding the buyer, etc, etc.. aka not unique to government at all.

When you're first trying to enter any space, coming into sell is the hardest approach. You're viewed with suspicion. It's 100x easier (still not easy) if you're already a participant in some way.
This seems like some sort of horrible inner platform effect. It would be nice if they would use an actual embeddable programming language, like Lua.
When you mention a protocol can clarify on what ISO/Stack it’s?

I have no idea if ICE is application protocols or connection and that really would me be understand the first chapter.

>I of course agree with all of this, but as someone pretty much at the bottom of the food chain who just wants to encrypt some data, there's often no libraries that safely glue the primitives together in the way that I require.

Author here. I mentioned libsodium [1] and Tink [2]. We started Tink because we want to provide more/better libraries.

>Granted, this is getting better, for example NaCl's crypto_box[0] is awesome and very hard to misuse. But say you want forward secrecy now. chirp, tumbleweed.

It looks like you want to build an interactive protocol. I'm not sure if libsodium has a solution, but Tink doesn't. So far we've been focusing on encryption at rest. Can you tell me more about your use case?

yaml is not a language. it's a serialization format.

this thing here is a language that serializes into yaml. there are zero benefits of using it except perhaps 'it is yaml so i don't have to compile my configuration'.

note that xml with xslt would have handle it better.
Matthias Wandel has a website - https://woodgears.ca/ - which contains a lot of guides/useful things for woodworking. I don't believe he has any 3D modelling tools, but he does have some software to help with building wooden gears, and other useful things.

Doesn't strictly answer your question, but if you're looking to make "simple furniture" 3D modelling is not strictly necessary, you can do a lot with a few simple measurements and 2D-designing.

It happens in some. I think I read it was more popular in the 90s (at least in France) to have a single daily menu.

Nowadays it is more likely there would be vegetarian or vegan options even if there is still a “single” menu.

Plenty of places will have some set menus and also let people order à la carte
One of my favorite dining experiences when travelling around Spain was in this small coastal town, going into a restarant and asking on the off chance if they had a menu in English, which they didnt and then just set out to order me a complete 7 course dinner of pheonominal food.

Before this I didn't like salmon sashimi, and one of the dishes was like beetroot cured (i think?) salmon tartare and it was delishish and finally put me onto sashimi
More than that: this is (just) semantic-web applied to the topic of maths. I personally hate semantic-web stuff and don't understand how it can possibly still be a research subject (with university departments dedicated to that). They talk about languages and semantics but keep ignoring the actual recent (i'm talking second-half 20th c.) research in programming language, type systems and formal maths. Some web focused project to "write formal maths with semantics", how more ridiculous can we get? Someone needs to get them to look at theorem provers.

Sorry for the rant, i'm just not gonna write a blog post here.
I'm trying to see any disadvantages for countries that do this

One unintended consequence could be that while a country might get some foreign citizen remote workers, it would decrease the remote working opportunities of their own citizens.

E.g Spain might think "we'll get Americans to move here and do their U.S jobs" but what they actually get is, for example, Moroccans getting U.S jobs from Spain and more less chances of Spanish citizens getting U.S jobs.
I think you have a point that the drama of evacuating a city sears nuclear disasters into our minds as uniquely damaging.

At the same time, single mining disasters have caused hundreds of deaths many times over the last century. Also, black lung killed 25,000 people in 2013 alone. The death toll from the coal industry, even in very immediate, direct terms, is still higher than nuclear.
I think you’re missing half the argument.

If I was given that question it would be a red flag.

1) it’s a stupid algorithm question similar to what I saw in high school, 2) it’s poorly worded and nonsensical.

Depending on what I know about the company I may or may not give them the benefit of the doubt. In most cases it’s safer to assume the interviewer (and by extension the team) is just not competent.

Automation is the right course, but this takes a very roundabout way toward producing an artifact that can be distributed and applied repeatably, compared to using something like an Ansible playbook that is applied using Virtualbox's built-in Ansible provisioner.

I have been repeatedly assured by ad tech experts on HN that Facebook (and Google's) advertisements which are custom-tailored to my tabulated interests are far superior to the ads I would get through traditional context advertising.

Don’t know you so take this with a grain of salt, but personally if I could not discuss how we spend that much of our time with my spouse, I would feel that we had a fundamental problem with the way we communicate. You should also be talking about how you are not that happy. Maybe it is related to other things left unsaid.

That is quite a deal of time that you all are choosing as a couple to spend on FB instead of in person.

For my spouse and I, we quit FB a few years ago (for similar reasons - mindlessly scrolling, fomo and jealous feelings about others, watching everyone’s highlight reel instead of real life.) We did the same with IG and Reddit. Now I read HN and she IGs/YouTubes some for her business, and we spend the rest of our time away from social media, playing games, making art, reading, working, etc.
Fair, and there's this neat Dhall (https://dhall-lang.org/) thing for config files (not really this, since it seems like it is designed to actually encode some amount of logic) which enforces that while still being pretty programmable.

In that project it was about 100 or so errors that were all really easy to fix (no major refactoring required) so I just sat down and went through the list one by one until I had 0 errors, 0 warnings. A lot of the errors were just styling. Some were errors where the value could have been null/forgot a try-catch block (although almost never was in practice unless I changed some code elsewhere accidentally), and a few were so major that one of the features that I implemented wasn't working at all but I never realized (mostly because I was one of the few people using the app and never really tested the feature).
