It is apparently cheaper because in France, as in many countries, the nuke was and remains heavily subsided, decommission costs under evaluated ( take a look at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18686703 ), mishaps hidden...

The French public financial auditing institution (la Cour des Comptes) published in 2012 that public nuke investments are opaque, and that it costed around 228 10e9 euros, plus nowadays 3.4 10e9 euros per year for the sole maintenance. Nuke risk is what it is, and even financially it is not sound. Read there, starting folio 269: https://www.ccomptes.fr/sites/default/files/EzPublish/Rappor...

It is so expensive it cannot be hidden anymore. Electricity in France is absolutely not cheap, its price there is average in Europe. Source: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php...

Germany now pays in order to solve the problem.

France isn't completely dumb and a state law (2015-992, from 2015, the "loi relative à la transition énergétique pour la croissance verte") states that the part of nuke-produced electricity must fall to less than 50% in 2025, from 72% then, and that renewables must replace it. However those are only words, until now.

Meanwhile... Germany solves its problem by switching to more adequate energy sources.

Based on reading through various posts from Discord people after that blog was posted, my understanding was there was a material gap in time between the last time they tried in earnest to solve the latency issue with Go (with Go 1.10, as in your quote) vs. when they later did the re-write in Rust.

It seems during that gap in time, the Go runtime team happened to solve their problem, which was GA in Go 1.12 in Feb 2019, which was prior to them doing the re-write in Rust, at least as far as I was able to follow.

One imprecise quote on timing of the re-write: [1]

This blog post perhaps is a bit "after the fact" we had made the switch over mid 2019

It's not crazy for someone to put aside a problem for a while, and then upon returning to the problem some time later decide to go a different route without re-exploring prior solutions, if that is what happened.

All that said, I might have misunderstood the timing, and I'm trying to avoid going back over all the various forums they commented in to find a better quote on timing ;-)

I don't think you really have any idea what it's like to live somewhere truly rural. Cable and DSL companies do not serve these places.

Ground-based radio requires line-of-sight to somewhere with both power and an uplink. Nevermind "third-world" countries - the vast majority of the United States, by square foot, does not have this. Rural wireless is incredibly dependent upon topography, many places will just never get it.

I live one hour from SF. I have rural wireless broadband (bounced off a solar relay I installed on a hill). It's terrible, but I'm still one of the lucky ones - most of the properties we looked at when shopping did not have this access, and the only internet option was Hughes.

This analysis "Levelised cost of energy – A theoretical justification and critical assessment
"[1] says that:

"The weaknesses of the LCOE are found to centre on discount rate, inflation effects and the sensitivity of results to uncertainty in future commodity costs. These weaknesses are explored in the context of comparing combined cycle gas fired generation and offshore wind in the UK, based on publicly available cost measures. It is found that with variability of future fuel gas prices, and a Monte Carlo approach to modelling LCOE, the range of LCOE for CCGT is much broader in comparison to the LCOE of offshore wind. It is urged that explicit account be taken of the areas of weakness in future use of LCOE."

Solar and Wind have high initial costs and lower operating (variable) costs. Since the variable costs around maintenance suddenly be slashed by 50% when they dont have inputs like fuel (coal, gas,...)

I saw another article recently of how Wind was more expensive as the wind companies which were LLCs would go out of business and saddle the local government or state with the disposal costs for the useless windmills.

Yeah cause it's all those red cities and states that are demanding we bail out their pensions using Covid as an excuse for the fiscal implosions they've been warned about for decades.

At the national level, both sides tend to claim one ideal and ignore it whenever they get into office in order to pay back their base - Republicans give tax breaks to the already-wealthy, Democrats tend to rain cash down on academia, school unions, legal industry, etc.

At the state and locality level, it's generally the rule that more conservative states and counties are in better fiscal shape, and that's with typically far lower taxes.

By "apply this process", you mean to put the soil or water directly in the furnace? The fungi are performing chemical concentration/separation. Depending on how hot you needed to heat the soil to get meaningful separation, you might end up damaging other properties of the soil by heating it so hot.

With water, it would have to be super contaminated for the majority of the dissolved compounds in the water to be heavy metal compounds, so distilling the water would still leave you with some mixture that you'd probably want to chemically separate. At least you wouldn't be causing any damage to the water by boiling it away, but it would be pretty energy-intensive.

Antibiotics cured my IBD. Had problems for years. A brief course of amoxicillin and some other, now forgotten, antibiotic (taken for unrelated reasons,) ended it almost immediately. It was amazing.

What wasn't so good was catching C. diff. soon after, almost certainly because of the aforementioned antibiotics.

Another treatment of yet another antibiotic dealt with that.

Net result; no IBD.

People don't know because they don't have the knowledge to know. They further don't know just how deeply people can analyze the data. Those who dismiss it usually do because they don't understand the depth. They'll think "oh, why do I care if Google or Facebook knows I went to the pet store today", when in reality, these systems could give a mini-biography and psychoanalysis of you. These are complicated systems that have been intentionally covered up through marketing and lobbying and other deceptive means.

People have additionally been hoodwinked by these companies saying "hey, we're providing you a service for free" when it's actually the other way around. This is where a capable government is supposed to step in and say, no, you can't just leech off citizens' personal data for free and without actual consent. However, the U.S. government is not capable and at the same time wants access to the same data that's being collected, so it hasn't done anything about it.

>I don't understand the difference between UI and frontend developer.

That's the second paragraph of the post.

>What do you work on if you are a frontend developer but do not actually care about the UI?

You could code JS, React, HTML, CSS, etc and implement other people's mockups, without giving a toss about UI principles and UI design...

Working in front-end = implementing the technical parts of a given UI.

Being a UI developer (as per the post) = knowing UI priciples, design, etc.
There's a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled study ongoing in Denmark exploring MK-7 as a treatment for AVC: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6112404/

For those who are musically inclined -- When learning to play a musical instrument (including voice), the distinction between long work and hard work is the difference between spending time and making progress. Long work is mindless practice; hard work is identifying weaknesses and using targeted practice to improve.

For those in marketing -- Long work is spending more on an advertising campaign; hard work is determining what increases the conversion rate.

For those in computer science or mathematics -- Long work is implementing a brute force approach to calculating a specific result; hard work is generalizing the problem and generating a class of results.

For students -- Long work is studying to pass a specific exam; hard work is internalizing the fundamental principles of a subject so you can derive answers regardless of the particular exam questions.
Sure, and time wise we can witness countless examples of economic freedom increasing and material wealth while happiness decreases. The data doesn't support your claim, almost every study done on the subject doesn't support your claims.

As for the the vast majority of people not thinking that well-being and quality of life depends on your subjective experience and feelings, I think you have a wildly distorted idea of how people think. As in, completely ridiculous and disconnected with reality. Go and talk with people in real life, ask them what makes them happy and what is the cause of their sorrows, and you'll find that unless their name is "Scrooge McDuck" their answer won't be material wealth. And calling that Marxism is the most absurd thing I've heard all day. Apparently mentally well-adjusted people are all Marxists now, let's unfurl the red banners!

Relative wealth has an effect on well-being, for obvious social reasons, which is why you can see that correlation in the link you sent. There is absolutely no data indicating that marginal absolute wealth does anything for well-being.

Finally,

>I’m not just talking about the US. I called out every single developed/industrialized nation

You're going to have to back up that claim. Specifically, find data so that every industrialized nation has a political system that diverges significantly from the will of the common man (moreso than average will weighted by dollar of wealth), and that this is in no case due to the economic self-interest of some. Good luck!

Religion is a part of daily life for many, many Chinese. It's different, not Abrahamic, more of a syncretic blend of taoist, buddhist and localized icons. Monks and nuns take their roles seriously. Xi's government, in contrast to the communist governments 60 years ago, leverages it in a standard social conservative way rather than being against it on communist grounds. It's all over their propaganda.

Anti-communist talking points from the 1980s never accurately described China, and certainly not in 2020.

Paraphrasing article: US monetary policy has failed consistently because it is predicated on a rise in inflation caused by decreases in the unemployment rate, but this hasn't occurred - probably because the unemployment rate (or how its measured) doesn't correctly capture the change in spending power in the labour market.
/Paraphrasing

It's kinda the same in my country - for the statistical purposes of the official Statistics Department unemployment rate, you are no longer unemployed if you a) work 1 hour a week or b) have actively stopped seeking employment.

I guess it's designed that way according to international best practice or something, but it means we have rather odd situations where the unemployment rate decreases, but the amount of people seeking income support increases.
