The idea is to put multiple reactors at the same site, not to spread out mini reactors all over the landscape.

So the end result would be a powerplant that produces about as much power as a "normal" nuclear power plant, just that it contains many small reactors instead of a few big ones.

> the non-trivial cost, workload and time it took to deal with a very simple libel case

Any court case will involve non-trivial cost, workload, and time. Even legal matters that never make it to a court involve non-trivial cost, workload, and time. My wife and I had a condo association threatening us with fines and litigation for something we hadn't done and had shown them proof that we hadn't done; we had to hire a lawyer and spend quite a bit of time, effort, and money just to reach a stalemate until the condo was sold.

However, you can't fix that problem by just passing new laws, because the whole problem is that the way the court system functions does not respect the spirit of the laws to begin with. And it's that way because we citizens have allowed it to get that way, because most people don't have enough dealings with the legal system to (a) see how messed up it is, and (b) see the impact it has on ordinary people who are unlucky enough to have to deal with it.

> The problem with the press engaging in constant lies and manipulation is that the vast majority of the population (I'll guess 99%) consumes without questioning any of it.

And you can't fix that problem by passing new laws either. (I actually don't think the percentage is as high as you say; but I'll agree that it's high enough to be a problem.) The only way to fix it is for enough people to realize that they are being lied to and manipulated and stop consuming the media that is doing it.

> I think the simple addition of the word "truthful" to the first amendment could be enough.

Who gets to decide what a "truthful" press is? Why, the same legal system that we've already established is a mess. So the "truthful" press will end up being...the same press we have now: whoever has enough money to prevail in any legal fight.

Thank you for your detailed explanation. I really appreciate it.
Wikipedia is pretty reliable for math, old computer hardware, and other dry technical subjects.

This is not one. This is a political subject. Wikipedia is a complete disaster for anything that even remotely touches upon modern politics. There are teams of people paid to impose an opinion on Wikipedia, relentlessly wearing down any neutral editor with 24x7 edits and every kind of bureaucratic fight. The people who edit for free are also pulled from a highly-biased population, with strong overrepresentation by unemployed single people with non-STEM degrees.

Simply put, "ineffective and may cause dangerous side effects" is a purely political attack on the US president.

Last year, the drug was handed out freely, with very little worry, to anybody claiming that they would visit a country with malaria. In many places it is non-prescription. Clearly, the "dangerous side effects" aren't such a big deal. You can get deadly "dangerous side effects" from aspirin (Reye syndrome) and from Tylenol/paracetamol/acetaminophen (complete liver failure).
Thank you. Perhaps my stance is too cynical.
> The human brain is surprisingly good at this.

Is it, though? Confirmation bias is a pretty big factor in how we parse incoming information. I try to read a variety of sources and see where different folks are coming from, but I wouldn't delude myself to think that I'm some ultra-rational arbiter of truth.

We need only look as far as the growing(!) popularity of the flat-earth conspiracy to see that the population at large is no better at this than I think I am.
All? One would at least like to know how common this is. In a corporate environment, it would hardly be unusual for a manager to insist on a faster schedule than developers would prefer.
> I disagree. I'm aware that that's the general opinion, but no, this isn't strictly true. A company can be interested in treating its employees well, and being upfront with them about pay is, to many, a comparative advantage (especially if the pay is also competitive).

We'll have to agree to disagree here. And I'm afraid it's not an "opinion" but a fundamental fact due to the structure. I'm not saying companies are not or can not treat their employees well - they absolutely can and do. But a company is interested in treating its employees well as a strategy to be competitive against other competitors when acquiring and retaining talent is more important, and they can only do so while they are competitive. Once that changes for whatever reason, they will have no choice but to stop treating their employees as well. That's just the economic reality. This economic expansion in Silicon Valley lasted so long, and the demand for software engineers have been high enough for long enough, that I've seen young folks like you who have no idea what a true downturn can do, and I'm afraid you are one of those youngsters with a rose-tinted fantasy view of the economic system.
Better? No. Equally valid? Certainly.
Do you have any specific list of ISPs, mobile carriers (average hotspot performance, 5G availability, LTE speeds), etc that would work best? I'd imagine this is critical for many WFHers/remote.

I'd need a minimum of 2 Gbps symmetrical to be able to do any work remotely (video, encoding, large binary files, Perforce, etc.) and a promise of "maybe Starlink in the future" would make it a catastrophic bankrupting move.
Less than 90 days ago this proposed feature hadn't been announced and now you are vilifying them for delaying it a few months?
IIRC, Vim has some kind of builtin support for Eclipse for Java development, have you tried that? I admit I haven't really looked into it, just seen it mentioned while reading the manual.
Maybe I am being naive, but I'm just not sure what people are building with React that requires such heavy focus on optimization that we're starting to look at Concurrent Mode. Is it an issue with React performance, or are we just asking the client devices to do too much work? React is a UI library after all, how complex does a UI need to be before you run into performance issues, or is it that the UI framework is doing work outside the scope of a UI?

I understand less capable devices is a concern as well, but that just makes me wonder even more why people are building such taxing applications with React.

PS: Please contribute to the conversation, I'm genuinely curious, this isn't my area of expertise. If you're sending a downvote, spend a moment to tell me why I'm wrong.
Vitamin D pills look to be 3-5¢ per day. Hardly seems like something I’d be supportive of creating a “free” supply chain for.

Tech is always the soft target for governments worldwide.
I don’t like the timing of this, obvious political motivation.

That said, I think it would be a good thing for Google, Apple, Amazon, and maybe Microsoft to go through this process. When the process works well, the companies may make needed adjustments to the way they do business, and get this all over with in a few years.

I am a very happy paying customer of Google, Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft. I would still like them all to be investigated and adjustments made. Capitalism and free markets work very well with the appropriate amount of government oversite - set guardrails for allowed behavior.
> smart pointers are slow, we need to use raw pointers!

He addresses this in the QA at the end. Chandler explicitly says "I still believe you should use unique_ptr and pass it by value". If somebody watches this video and takes away "don't use smart pointers" then they weren't paying attention.
Agreed. I think there's context here that's missing.
Per my cardiologist (I'm unfortunately familiar with myocarditis through pericarditis) it is not caused by exercise. I asked him because I'd been diagnosed with peri, and that has implications down the road for myo. He told me exercise would not cause myocarditis, but if I ever developed myo, exercise could exacerbate it.
Google controls advertising on both the supply side and demand side. It's not hard to think ways in which this is anticompetitive. A ton of stuff is black boxes. E.g. are adsense chargebacks real? Are keyword bids fair?
Is there an equivalent of `ccache` for Rust? For C++ it's been a total lifesaver, I've introduced it in multiple organizations for massively reducing (average) build times, even by sharing the cache on an NFS drive between multiple machines.
> we ought to demand more from the press

The problem is the first word: "we". Who is "we"? Earlier you said you thought 99% of people believe whatever the media tells them. Anyone in that category doesn't think there's any more to be demanded.
Ask HN: What's best laptop for programmer in 2020?
I've been long time Apple user as a programmer, I used multiple MacBook Pros of 13 and 15 inch screen size. Now I have MacBook 12 (no longer produced) and iMac 27". Additionally I have iPad Pro, but it's almost useless as a device for work. I also use 2019 MacBook Pro 15 with touchbar (I'm equipped with it by my employer) which is awful and amazing at the same time. I wouldn't spend my own money on it though.

Best Apple machine ever for me is my iMac 27, because it has beautiful 27 inch 5k screen, it's almost always almost completely silent and wireless keyboard never heats.

Additional word about MacBook 12 - it's beautiful, has no fans, looks gorgeous, so lightweight, but works best for scrolling static content and typing in native apps (web apps are noticeably slower).

I'm thinking about another laptop for work, but not MacBook. What would you recommend?

It isn't at all common for the AG to override his department's attorneys' investigative schedules, let alone for political reasons related to his boss's reelection campaign for reasons and stemming from his crew's inability to Stop Lying All Of The Time.
Not that antitrust has to be based on market share but - it is kinda hard to claim Facebook has a monopoly on much of anything. Facebook is a big player but there are dozens of big alternatives. That is not at all the case for Google. Search, YouTube, browsers, Android all have a dominant market position.
It is a bit of a bummer, but people have lived without it for more than a decade, they will survive another few months. Or you could just help your friends disable it manually.
The principle behind it is snake oil marketing for the pandemic era. Hospitals already use UV lights, but they take time to work and can't have people exposed to them.

"Tests have shown that Italian technology neutralizes the virus"

"the patented multi-frequency peak of BIOVITAE killed 99.8% of the SARS-CoV-2 virus"

Air kills it given enough time too. Anyone can buy UV leds, this is a grift.
This would be different from a pi-hole, which counts entirely on separate domains.
Unfortunately that doesn't quite solve the problem of getting waste from reactor to storage site.
So then ostensibly a deepfake that is clear that it's not actually Emma Watson (not pretending) and therefore only sharing a likeness would be legal?

The obvious counter is "but you learned this from headlines" (assuming you're not like Hitchens with a bunch of intercontinental friends to be your eyes and ears.
Ok, the author doesn't take issue with domains that are unavailable because they may be used for things that aren't visible. He takes issue with Domain Squatters, the unfortunately scumbag industry of buying up domains by the barrow load in the hope of making a tidy profit.

I'm well aware domain squatters aren't new having lost a domain to one a few years back who then wanted four figures to sell it back to me. I think he has a point and ICANN put the brakes on practices such as "Domain Tasting" to try and address this problem in the past:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_tasting

Sure domain squatting specifically to extort money is a legit business, but legit != morally right, kinda like big city commercial landlords.
Interesting. I had to pay something like $100 out of pocket for my recent vitamin D test (unsurprisingly it was low).
I sympathize with the Litter Robot experience. It's painfully close to being perfect if you can invest in its price and physical size. Relatively speaking, it works far better than perhaps any other complex automated mechanical consumer product I've ever used, but that's a low bar. It gets stuck mid-cycle randomly, so you have to remember to give it a look a couple times a day, and you still may not catch it before your cat decides to take matters into their own hands. Because this is the only major problem, I was highly motivated to try every suggestion out there in fixing it, but nothing worked. It's truly a shame.
Sure, here's mine:

As someone who has tried Rust but has run into issues actually using it, I want Rust to improve its standard library and stop pointing people to "de-facto" crates on official documentation. I shouldn't need a crate to get a backtrace. It doesn't make sense to use a create to figure out if a type is an integer, or to work with Rust's AST. I understand that the team does not want to commit to maintaining these, or keeping them stable, or whatever, but there are many places where "just use xyz from J. Random Developer" is not a thing that someone wants or even can do. Having something in the standard library makes it easy to depend on and trust.

Commercial software will always be a "black box". Many, many companies use commercial software. This is not really anything new. I will admit that the complexity has grown so much that it's nearly impossible to understand any significant software system in its entirety. That's not new, either, just more prevalent than it used to be.
Author here - This is a project I've been working on for the last several months that has proven to be quite useful. I finally got around to getting it open sourced.

AWSets is (yet another) tool for listing AWS resources across all regions in an account. The differentiator here is that it also builds relationships between resources. It still has some rough edges and will continue to receive steady updates, but I'm excited to get some feedback on it and see what the community can do with such a project.

There isn’t a way around it. The best thing to do is to try and build your data pipelines in a way that makes it somewhat easier to swap tools if required, but I’m not sure if there’s a general way to do that.
Great book. It was the exit ramp from the libertarian history of money for me.
Yes. Instead various accredited media publications and science journals from around the world, we should all be looking to random Youtubers and Facebook posters for the real truth about Covid .

It's pretty good for purely non-political things.

Sadly, this is political.
Language servers + vim are sometimes not as performant (or efficient) as an IDE.

Once, I tried replacing IntelliJ with vim + deoplete + a linter plugin (whose name I forgot), because Intellij ate my laptop battery too quickly, and because I like editing text in vim more than IntelliJ.

Well, the vim setup ate through it twice as fast, and was slightly less responsive.

> cast a wide net, gather information from as many viewpoints as possible,

I agree that's the best thing to do. It's a rational choice. I do it and recommend others do it.

But there's still this historical problem of divestment from traditional journalistic practices (going out into the world, gathering facts, interviewing people, observing -- it's expensive). Without that factual raw material it doesn't matter how diverse your set of sources is, your ability to know your own world is impoverished.
We get 20,000 iu of Vitamin D in like 15 to 30 minutes of sun (if you're pale skinned). Pretty sure taking 5,000 iu every day isn't going to be harmful.

Also, fun side note: Vitamin D is produced as an oil on the skin and actually seeps through your skin overtime to enter the bloodstream. So don't take a shower after getting some sun, because you could be washing off your Vitamin D.
I appreciated the recommendations, but from a tech perspective related most with this sentence in the opening paragraph: "when I tried to research mitigations for any of these it was 100% SEO listicles".

I've found this to be true as well. Searching for impressions/reviews on literally any type of product is impossible now - the entire first page of results are just spammy sites either regurgitating PR for a specific product or paraphrasing Amazon reviews. In order to get real human opinions on anything, you have to suffix your search with "reddit".

All of these sites are clearly bogus and should be banned. How did search become so broken?
Yes. It appears to very explicitly is about DOE sites, national labs with waste dating back to the Manhattan project and Cold War. This figure would seem to be better described as the clean up cost for our nuclear weapons programs with maybe a small side dish of reactor research in places like INL.
I should probably give that another go when I have more time. I got part way in and just stopped after a while as it just seemed to be taking forever to get anywhere.

It's a bit like Better Angels of Our Nature, which I got about 1/3rd of the way through before getting bored of the same point being demonstrated over and over.

There's something to be said for making serious time for reading serious books, rather than reading them piecemeal over too long a time as I did back then.
I got my D3 levels up to 478nmol/L according to the UK NHS Vit D blood spot service. Supplemented up to starting point of around 200-240nmol/L and then spent the summer outside with top off working on laptop. Never felt so good. Bought some Lizard flo tubes after that to bask under after I was craving a suntan one winter. Odd feeling, but I was also doing alot of magnesium sulphate (Mag oil) topically which helps and some zinc orally. The Mag oil stings the skin much like Deep Heat, so be warned and thinner skinned individuals will experience more pain.

Not in nuclear they haven't historically. Economies of scale drove light water reactor designs from tens of megawatts to hundreds to over a thousand universally from all vendors around the world historically. The big institutional nuclear economics reports all agree that going big improves nuclear economics. The hypothesis that SMRs will somehow overpower this is popular but is very much unproven. This agrees with OECD reports like last month's [1] and all the older ones listed in [2].

My guess is there will be multiple lines of attack, but this paper[0] which was also at least implicitly referenced in the recent Congressional hearing seems very likely to be one of them:

Approximately 86% of online display advertising space in the U.S. is bought and sold in real-time on electronic trading venues, which the industry calls "advertising exchanges." With intermediaries that route buy and sell orders, the structure of the ad market is similar to the structure of electronically traded financial markets. In advertising, a single company, Alphabet (“Google”), simultaneously operates the leading trading venue, as well as the leading intermediaries that buyers and sellers go through to trade. At the same time, Google itself is one of the largest sellers of ad space globally. This Paper explains how Google dominates advertising markets by engaging in conduct that lawmakers prohibit in other electronic trading markets: Google’s exchange shares superior trading information and speed with the Google-owned intermediaries, Google steers buy and sell orders to its exchange and websites (Search & YouTube), and Google abuses its access to inside information. In the market for electronically traded equities, we require exchanges to provide traders with fair access to data and speed, we identify and manage intermediary conflicts of interest, and we require trading disclosures to help police the market. Because ads now trade on electronic trading venues too, should we borrow these three competition principles to protect the integrity of advertising?

I can give example. Svelte has actions (here details https://svelte.dev/tutorial/actions). You can take pannable action as a starting point from that page. Now try to write React hook that does the same as pannable Svelte action. You can do it. There are "problems" however:

1) React solution will need a little bit more lines;

2) There are multiple ways to write that and some ways are less efficient than others;

3) React solution is harder to write if you only started with hooks.

I'm going to use React because:

1) I don't need to learn anything new (only hooks) to do what I need;

2) I have richer environment: typescript, testing libraries and all React libraries/solutions I might need. Svelte is getting better and potentially it already covers things I need but that was not the case one year ago.

I did macOS runners this way, combining the runner with the VirtualBox executor. Best part is once you set up the base VMs (one per macOS version), the runner is smart enough to take a snapshot right after boot and restore that on subsequent runs, which not just makes job running stateless, but also makes job worker boot about 2s.
I'm a cat owner and never had a problem with smell. No one coming into my house mentioned anything about smell. I circulate air in my house every day and clean the litterbox ever day. I'm not sure why cats would cause any smell.

And to add to this: yes I think cat ownership is very worth it. It's basically an on-demand pleasure source that you can use as long as you want, whenever you want. Just curl up into the soft kitty and feel him purring, awesome!

Well, useState/useDispatch is a substitute for that, useEffect is a substitute for most lifecycle methods, useMemo is a hybrid that is basically useState + useEffect for updates.

IME, useEffect is where the complications tend to arise (assuming you are using a state management library for non-local state, which seems to be the dominant approach even with functional components.)
