That makes sense. Thank you for the clarity :)
Why do you need to replace population? Is Japan really that bad of a place? And Japan's population has been in the 120-130 million range for the last 35 years, so it's not like there's been a huge swing either way.
Montreal in particular is blowing up as a tech hub
That is 0.2 cent per user per month, right?
The stuff you really have to worry about is the stuff that the liberal, right wing and centrist billionaire owned media outlets all agree upon or agree isn't important enough to talk about.

It's an interesting exercise to read contrasting viewpoints from opposing sides though (e.g. Russian media vs. American media on a us-russia conflict).
I’d suspect that where you see other national leaders pushing HCQ, it’s largely not because Trump is doing it, but for similar reasons to why Trump is doing it. HCQ was the most ‘miracle cure’-y of the early proposed treatments. Most treatments being investigated promised modest reductions in the death rate, whereas some of the claims for HCQ were very extravagant (some people were even pushing it as a _prophylactic_). That’s a much more attractive public message than ‘this might reduce your chance of dying by 20%, if you’re on a ventilator’, so if you weren’t overly concerned with whether it was true or not, it might work politically.
Hydrogen is an answer to the question "how do renewables serve 100% of the grid?". It enables renewables to cover that last 10% or so, and rare prolonged dark/calm periods, without excessive amounts of overcapacity or batteries.
Apposite?
That...sounds illegal. You should at least have gotten a document in the mail with the buyout details, after everything was finalized and signed. It may take a few months in some cases but they have to send it out.

You're certain you were a shareholder and not an option holder? That is, you had exercised some of your options?

Another possibility, since you said it was an acquihire, is the company actually shut down operations and sold off its assets to the buyer. Maybe in that case there would be no share price to report since no shares were bought? I'm not an expert.
1. Don’t let that happen.

2. There have been proposals before for core dilution buckets: a wide shallow dish under the reactor full of something like gallium for the hot core to dissolve into. As it spreads out into the dish, the heat and radiation fluxes become less unmanageable, and the core material becomes less critical.

3. Don’t let that happen. :-P
Don't worry - the Canadians will apologize profusely
It's more usable than a lot of sites that are completely bloated.
Oh, they are, but they're drowned out by "look at this create-react-app hackathon project I made! VCs pls give me a series A thx". Alas, the web is now a profit engine first.
Angular 2 shared a name for marketing reasons, but was/is 100% unrelated as every major idea in Angular turned out to be bad.

Yarn solved some npm issues they refused to tackle, but npm got motivated and has now solved most of them. Meanwhile, yarn 2's release has been a disaster and has seemingly resulted in most people (myself included) moving back to npm.

I've done Rails and Django work. Rails in particular took years to migrate to the next version. I'd add that Rails has seen 6 versions in 16 years which gives around 1 major breaking upgrade every 3 years (in truth, there's been about 1 major change per year as point releases are pretty big). Likewise, wikipedia gives almost 20 major django updates (I haven't used it in several years, but point updates used to have a very big risk of breaking the project I was working on).
I used to believe that excess CO2 causes mood/cognitive problems. I changed my mind while participating in this discussion:

This reminds me of the steam.com domain - for the longest time I've wondered what the relationship is like between the owner and Valve Corporation...

It used to have an actual page, it looks like it's just a registered domain now with a page that times out.
Japan has had issues with finding workers to support their elderly population. No, it isn't a bad place. But yes, there are issues to solve that come with an aging population and a shrinking population.
I suspect, though that the owner of volvoguy.com wasn't named Joe Volvoguy. It also appears that volvoguy.com is currently a Chinese language website (which Google says simply tells me that service is not available in my area). On the other hand, Ford hasn't owned Volvo in years and the current owners are a Chinese holding company so who knows? (And Volvo Cars, formerly owned by Ford and now Geely Holding Corp, is not to be confused with the publicly traded AB Volvo which makes heavy trucks and which owned Volvo Cars before selling that division to Ford.)
This comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24369239) has mentioned that multiple major companies are being investigated, so maybe the investigation into Google just happens to be further along.
He held out until he passed away.
The first apartment building I lived in in NY had this. The only downside was that if the board put off maintenance so long that one summer the cooling towers were busted, then they waited until may to start the project to replace them, then an early heat wave came, it could be darn uncomfortable for a week or two. (That did indeed happen, just like I told it.)
The irony is that whoever designed the US immigration information system are probably using CURL somewhere in their stack, thus Daniel's code.

There's something delightfully absurd about invoking who and getting told where they're logging in from. There's an Abbot and Costello skit in there waiting to come out.

This is why I love computing. It's putting abject insanity to good use.
> Intellectually it seems strange to have pets: after all we build homes to keep alien species out.

We build homes to keep bad organisms (pests, thieves) out and good organisms (family, friends, babies, pets, plants) in. Species is relatively orthogonal. As long as the organism is a net value-add, in it goes.
We hopefully have learned a few thing since. I'm one of those weird lefties that loves markets, capitalism, competition, etc. So long as we are clear-eyed about it and actively counterbalance winner-takes-all.
Why are all the comments here about immigration? Daniel Stenberg is trying to visit, not move to the United States.

Having said that, I'm not sure why this is being posted here today, since there haven't been any updates since his two-years-in blog post some months back.
Reactor's aren't boolean. If a reactor has no heat sink and attempts to shut down, there's still going to be a catastrophic amount of heat to disperse.

That said, rapidly losing the UHS should be incredibly rare/difficult (as several other posters have mentioned).
If The Social Network and some of the stories I’ve read portray Zuckerberg in any accuracy, it seems like he was a very...atypical... social being even before getting rich.
Yeah but it's also a locked ecosystem, so no thanks. The nice thing about a device like this is that it's purpose built: it can basically do one thing, and claims it does it well.

An ipad is a walled garden of expensive hardware and software that does everything, at a high price. Those are completely different worlds, and if we're talking "it costs a lot of dollars", I already own a universal tablet monitor. I don't need something that does less and costs more.

Meanwhile, the Tory party (The party which is in power) gets a free pass: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism_in_the_UK_Conse...

Corbynite Labour is the party you vote for to fight fascism and antisemitism. But instead media parrots like yourself prefer to ignore any nuance because - I suspect - it suits your conservative political ideology.

It’s destructive thought patterns like the ones you are displaying which have allowed Boris Johnson into power. I think you’ll find that if Jewish people in the UK (and I sincerely And truly hope this never, ever happens - to Jews, or any other vulnerable group) is ever treated like they have been in the past, it won’t be from people like Corbyn, it’ll be by people like Patel.

But, you know, you do you.

All of these solutions have been deployed on small scales and are proven to work. However they always stop short of implementing on the scale required for the problem. International agreements in particular worked really well to stop the destruction of the ozone layer. However they have never agreed on enough carbon emission reduction for any significant reduction in climate harm.
> something simple as knowing if your marketing campaign is effective becomes very hard

I know I'm looking at this too simply but, fundamentally, is it not an increase in sales that defines the success of a marketing campaign? If the other methods of measurement are click-throughs, or verified views, or whatever else there may be, aren't these all essentially of meta-value only in comparison to actual sales?

That's the perspective of a company that actually sells "things" though, do you mean from the perspective of an advertising company?

There's a lot of meta going on. I guess that, from an advertising company perspective, they need stats to prove their campaigns are more effective then those of their competitors, which means they need to have more accurate or complete data on the various markets - and the more accurate and complete the data, the more invasive and present the tracking must be. What a race to the bottom.

> There is a whole industry that depends on tracking IDFA to function

Just because an industry exists, doesn't mean it's right. There's a whole industry that depends on the US voice carriers taking no action on spoofed number scam phone calls too.
This question is asked in incredibly bad faith. No one anywhere has suggested storing waste (nuclear, coal ash, solar manufacturing, or any other kind of waste) in anyone's home. Or even their neighborhood.
curiousllama said that implicit tracking was not allowed in any domain other than software. Don't move the goalposts.

There is an alternative, less roads. Make things denser, make it so people don't have to travel as far, and you won't need to lay so much new asphalt.
I am inside the US, and would love to be in Canada instead. How is it getting work visas for USA-ians?
My experience is that lots of people often secretly sympathize. Including the lawyers involved. It's pretty easy to throw a case.
For a moment I thought this was going to be about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shellshock_(software_bug) but then I wondered why would History Today write about a software bug from a couple of years ago. Turns out the linked article was not about the software bug.
Another interesting way to solve the transaction problem is following more of a Unit of Work pattern. Then the transaction is more or less held until the unit is committed. Or rolled back. This is also wonderful for writing integration tests because your repositories all contribute to the same UoW and your test can just roll back when it’s finished to return to a clean state.
I doubt that would be the tipping point; probably oil or access to the Arctic. But Trump is super popular in rural Canada.
Would that normally result in a fairly quick rejection though, instead of a couple years with no response?
Er, correction, that's the time to get to review for a residency applications. I'm not sure how long it takes once the application gets into review.
Cool, thanks for the reports. Will fix.

Very true. A good author makes you suspend your disbelief. And a good journalist makes you suspend your Gell-Mann amnesia.
Unfortunately, he's not trying to vote, raise children in the US, or earn money. He just wanted to tell people how to write better software (conference speaker) and his non-immigrant visa is apparently not forthcoming.

Totally! Having live with pets for almost my entire life, it feels “obviously” normal, but if I step back, I (and the rest of the world’s pet loving minority) are actually abnormal.

Fascinating.
Many people find corporations more democratic than an aristocracy. I’d rather have AMZN on NASDAQ than have Lord Bezos become a trillionaire.
That VPN provider would likely be out of business extremely fast. If you offer a service that's supposed to increase privacy, and it doesn't... who's gonna pay for that service?
Of course exceptions apply with law enforcement, but then again your threat model is very different there (and the VPN provider in question will not be able to say no).

That being said, there are VPN providers who guarantee that no logs are kept (I believe ProtonVPN does this) and are extremely privacy-oriented. I am inclined to believe these companies, if all I'm doing is pirating a few movies.
I do know several musicians who used to tour in the US, but now simply choose not to. Even if you get in, you are treated like shit at the border.

This country is in a bad way.
Japanese companies often have long and convoluted histories (Nintendo was founded in the 19th century as a maker of playing cards and at various times sold food and was a taxi company). Nissan was founded in 1928 as an offshoot of a mining company and until the Japanese real estate crash of the early 1990s was primarily a real estate company which also made cars. But yes, the river name is still probably older than the company.
It's lots of people's names, of course. I don't agree that domains should be redistributed based continuously purely on "what's the biggest company with this name," but I also don't like how much momentum you get just from being interested in the web in the 90s and picking up the juicy domain names. I don't have a great solution, but I don't think the status quo does a great job of allocating domain names with either economic efficiency or with user-friendliness in mind. Of course, one could certainly argue that domain names are much less important now that most people get their content either directly from the massive media/social networking websites or indirectly from Google searches.
Unless you're a billionaire who can actually get a Congressperson on the phone, you're burning cycles. They've got an army of staff that do nothing but write stock replies, print and sign documents with stamps and mail them back to constituents.

That's what involvement in our government has become in America - a bunch of people shouting into an endless void, and the people in power doing more or less whatever fits their needs most at that particular moment.
I think because the owner died recently from Covid-19.

> Can you imagine how many people type nissan.com into their browser?

I bet it’s not that many.

When’s the last time you entered a URL in the address bar directly for a website you’d never been to?

I don’t even trust myself to not have an accidental typo so if it’s not a bookmark or copy/paste from an external source, it goes through a search engine.
If it's big enough and makes enough noise, it will be harder to lose.
I still use terminator out of habit, but I never tile it anymore. Terminator can't tile my browser windows along with my terminal windows, and interleaving separate shortcuts (and window groups) defeats the purpose of tiling
Most civil reactors are next to lakes or rivers so it seems like they should have plenty of water. Is it a matter of civil reactors using smaller[cheaper] plumbing and pumps? My intuition is that Naval reactors are built to be very responsive because that's useful for naval applications, but civil reactors aren't built like that because that ability has less relative value for civil reactors.
He covers all that in the article.
I once saw a license plate frame of a car dealership called "Nissani Brothers". It was not on a Nissan. Somehow I figured they might rather be selling Nissans.
To me it's just another explicit example of how the current government structure is obsolete.

And I know people will say that it's just the current government is a bad apple. But why do they have the ability to screw things so fundamentally here anyway? And if people think they are going to supposedly get a "good" government next time, I can pretty much guarantee if you like the next government you will hate the one after it. Because it swings between extremes.
Agreed. Agreed. Not an easy problem. Not sure if it's worth giving up though.

I have two family members that have self-radicalized through their consumption of media. One on the left and the other on the right. As you might imagine, one of them lives on CNN/MSNBC and the other on Fox. And, of course, they both use Facebook and are exposed to the many resonant chambers the service offers at both extremes.

It has been truly painful to watch both of them walk deeper and deeper into dark caves of ignorance and hatred fueled by the lies and manipulation each camp produces every minute of every day. We have tried to pull them out of their caves to bring them back to some semblance of reality and failed miserably. The algorithms at play are far more powerful than anyone one could do other than isolating them from society for a year somewhere on earth.

I've said this before, the kinds of algorithms that help you dive deeper into learning how to tile your bathroom, build a table or learn how to use photoshop, the recommendation engines, are horribly suited for matters of politics and related domains. If you are tiling your bathroom it is actually good to be exposed to more and more material related to what you are doing. It will help you learn and do a better job. If, on the other hand, you end-up triggering the "hate Trump" or "hate Biden" (or pick something else) branches of the recommendation engines you are treated to a constant stream of garbage that, unimpeded, results in self radicalization over time.

Other than the race for click dollars, I don't understand why social media companies, google, etc., don't exercise a bit of social responsibility and use some of their AI prowess to avoid these kinds of self radicalizing trips down deeper and darker holes.

Back when I studied Philosophy in high school, many decades ago (not sure kids read the Greeks any more) we read and discussed Plato's "Allegory of the Cave". I never thought I would live through a real-life reenactment of the tale.
Part of why immigration law is so confusing and contradictory is that the framers of the Constitution had no concept of someone living in a country (with intent to stay) and not being a citizen. Even slaves and women were considered citizens.
Fukishima is a perfect example. Unit 1 had been retrofitted with an isolation condenser, which should have been able to prevent a meltdown even with no power, but it wasn't activated, for reasons that remain murky.
How about relocating or going fully remote with company from overseas? I feel like US market is 10x more demanding than European.
Ten years ago the U.S. was the default destination to go and get rich as a tech worker. Now, I don't think I know anyone who wouldn't have serious misgivings about moving there.
Yes, but in this case one user couldn't use 10 million minutes, they were already capped at 2000. Now they are capped at 400 instead. So that limits how extremely disproportionate the high percentile use could be. As I said, that 1.5% of users could have been using at most 1600 more minutes a month than the new max.
It's well presented, but can you explain how your argument is fundamentally different from a child shouting "liar?"
> Mass production is a no-brainer.

This is very much an unproven assumption. There is nothing in the history of nuclear technology to suggest that what most industries experience, an industrial learning curve that lowers production cost, will be found for these reactors. In fact, just the opposite - the more experience we get with them the more likely we are to find problems that are very expensive to fix. This is even more true now that they've given up on doing serial production in a single factory.
That's overly broad. A lot of people jump on the latest trends, especially people who are simply new to development, because there's no way you can know stuff you haven't had time to learn.
Why do you feel entitled to live in the bay area? Why not move to India or Nevada?
The Pandemic has definitely shown this to be true. A huge number of people didn't go to work and it didn't really matter.
It remains a mystery as to what is driving this. Do bullshit jobs beget more bullshit jobs? A kind of multiplier effect?
It's an interesting thing how crime rates in the US peaked right after the fall of the Soviet Union and then went into deep decline: It's as if having the visible external enemy was the factor that allowed it to increase, and the post-Cold War paralysis deescalated this process. The Soviet bogeyman was replaced in turn with terrorists, but this too is increasingly seen as a domestic issue of "right wing militia v. antifa", lacking in credible affiliations abroad as the Mid-Eastern interventions have wound down.

And that is perhaps the real source of the frantic polarization: Look anywhere, just not in the mirror.
Aftermarket/second hand batteries maybe
> 49 months

wow. A decade ago Canada specifically targeted H1Bs promising 6 months special fast trek instead of the typical 18 back then. Interesting why such a change since then - too many applicants and/or budget cuts?

Edit in response to the comment below: i'm talking about permanent residency - the points, etc - not just work visa.
