How would you turn off the outside source, and how would the mechanism differ from existing safety features?
I find it a little odd that a site called Hacker News is so bullish on nuclear power. Could there be anything less hacker than a centralized, exclusively government owned and operated source of power?

No thanks. I’d rather put more resources into solar, wind, and other sources of power that don’t depend on the government to not explode and irradiate the immediate area for hundreds of years.
I agree that traditional nuclear makes little economic sense. But I disagree that this is inherent to nuclear power, because there might be a different reactor design that doesn't cost billions of dollars to set up. We just haven't found it yet.
Fusion has one killer feature that Solidworks completley lacks (at least for me and my team). It works on Mac!
A recent survey found only 6% mask compliance in Sweden so that's probably not a significant factor. There must be something else going on.

The answer to that question could probably fill another blog post :D

Long story short, Rails and dependency inversion equals lots of friction. The whole framework is built on the assumption that it's OK to access everything from everywhere, and over the years we've built lots of tooling on top of those assumptions.

E.g. we heavily use https://github.com/Shopify/identity_cache with active record associations that cross component boundaries.

We also have a GraphQL implementation that is pretty closely coupled to the active record layer and _really_ wants to reach into all the components directly.

All of those problems can be overcome, but this is definitely an area where we have to working against "established" Rails culture, and our own assumptions from the past.
If you think I'm joking, there are huge companies that have already declared Python2 as non-supported software, so if you have any software written in Python2 you have to either rewrite or stop using it.
Fortify took almost a decade to support Python 3 and there were some hefty lags on Java updates, where multiple times it was like “do you want to use the supported Java or the one which Fortify can scan?”
Bikes are safe. Cars are unsafe because they often kill other road users. You have them confused.

Specifically? The US federal reserve maintains low interest rates, allowing oligarchs to borrow against their pre-existing conditions of prosperity. This in turn allows them to inflate USD and buy an alternate currency with higher interest rates, things like gold, bitcoin (stores of value that are hard to take via force, but are ultimately functionally useless). USD simultaneously inflates and deflates, leading to a near-useless currency. As a result the US balkanizes into 2 nations, one allied with Russia, Christianity, & Gazprom, one allied with China & Europe. The oligarchs will misjudge the transition and the world will be thrown into war & chaos. Understanding the enormity of the mistake, the world will be forced to either unite or die. It's unfortunately where we really, really seem to like to move ourselves, not as a whole, but as individuals, and we like to pretend like our daily decisions aren't causing this. If yours must be the glory, then mine must be the shame; you want it darker? We kill the flame.
Yes, you are missing. This is GitHUB cli, not git cli. This has nothing to do with git.
There is actually an apparent upper limit on energy usage once countries reach a certain level of development. See for example [1] and [2]. Total energy consumption in Western countries has been level or dropping for years as devices that use energy become more efficient.

No it's not lol. It's a blatantly bad faith attempt to play out feminists against adocates of transgender rights. How many feminist professors have you come across who are on a crusade against trans rights exactly? This is a Spectator fueled right-wing organisation and it's so obvious it hurts.
Betteridge's law of headlines seems to apply. It's a mistake to assume that public policies, such as lockdowns, are the primary thing that changes human behavior, when mobility data has shown similar patterns in different places regardless of public policy. Natural social distancing, due to fear, by itself will change the replication number, especially since covid spread seems to be driven primarily by superspreading events among the most risky activities.

I'm glad people are researching all the possibilities, but spreading minor hypotheses like this around social media brings out the worst of armchair epidemiology.
I think that anti-price gouging laws allow the government to easily protect people who would otherwise have to pay very high prices for goods they need right now. On top of that, anti-price gouging laws coupled with Defense Production Act measures and purchase limits within stores should prove effective at alleviating shortages.

Despite a lack of DPA measures and the existence of anti-price gouging laws, masks remain readily available. For example, asimpleshop.com (made by a fellow HN user) has masks ready for a reasonable price. The fact that everyone does not have access to good KN95 masks comes from a national lack of will, not a lack of national resources.
The web is not static, browsers are not static. Things change or they die.
> put them on your roof, problem solved.

This is why solar kills more people every year than nuclear, and your hydro storage and batteries are not even a drop in the ocean compared to total load or daily capacity of even a small grid.
I don't think our mask compliance has increased since the earlier spike; I would say the opposite. I don't have any hard data of course, so it's possible. I hope someone is collecting this data.

If masks are truly effective enough to alone cause the dramatic change we're seeing, then the initial advice that they weren't necessary was utterly disastrous.

You need to pay attention to the silent positioning of these companies to even guess at where they might go, so deals with things like archive.org may have some unseen substance to them that might only become obvious much later
Are you the author?

As I said, sometimes you need to be at those levels for reasons outside of your control. When you are at those levels, it's useful to know the best thing to do at that level. In particular, sched_yield() is a known anti-pattern when using system calls, and there are known better techniques. It's better enough that I think it could have a significant impact on the performance results.
Makes sense. Thanks for the answer.

"opposed on public policy grounds, i.e. negative effects software patents and increased cost of litigation (and maybe that should've been done during the negotiations on the treaty)."

Problem is that the Court Fees were decided after the treaty has been signed, by this administrative committee.

And they are defeating the purpose of "making the whole system cheaper", as it would raise the cost of litigation for a simple case.

We warned about this problem long ago, with the predecessor of the UPCA, the EPLA:

http://epla.ffii.org/analysis

"A litigation case before the EPLA court will at least be twice as expensive as litigation before the national courts of Germany, France or the Netherlands."

Stjerna's analysis of the cost situation is roughtly the same, a 3 fold increase for a simple case:

Still, blender is not a CAD tool. It's great to great organic designs (characters, animals, figurines, etc.) but it's not good for functional parts. And it will never be, CAD and 3D modeling for organic/art are fundamentally different.
I guess nobody who does not speak German can understand or use such term. I'd translate it with consultantgate, but then I am not a native speaker of English. I don't think European media is integrated enough that there would be a term well understood in all EU countries.
Requiring employers to fund PPE purchases seems like a reasonable answer to this problem. $10/day/employee is a modest cost of doing business when compared with other labor expenses.

We have made other mandated changes which have been vastly more expensive.
For what it's worth, until the widespread dissemination of auto-updaters, into the mid-late 2000's, you were describing most vulnerabilities. Most things stayed highly exploitable for a very long time. We didn't have a special name for them.

> One reason you might be downvoted is because of this false equivalency.

We all know the reasons for the downvotes. And funnily enough I predicted "false equivalency", "israel is our ally" or "whataboutism" response. You guys never disappointed. Like robots writing off a script.

> and massive grass roots style propaganda efforts (maybe Israel is guilty of these too, but I haven't seen any credible accusations of such behavior)

No? Ever look in the mirror? You are right, the zionist movement doesn't exist. But the real worry isn't the grassroots, it's the political elites that israel has in their pocket. Not to mention all the pro-israel "american right" all over youtube and social media.

> However they do it the old fashioned way of political pressure and negotiation. This has always been allowed.

Right, if you can say one thing about israel is that they play by the rules. /s

Everything you accused china, russia, etc of, israel does, but "better". Not only that, they go beyond what china, russia, etc does. Including terrorism, sinking american ships, killing american troops, etc.

> One is much more acceptable than the other.

No, none of them are acceptable - but especially israel.

Funny, you rarely see defense of china or russia, but in traditional and social media, there is always people justifying and defending israel. Where are the china/russia/etc grassroots movement? Where is their influence?

The easiest way to debunk everything you wrote is the fact that we are talking about israel. Israel is nothing to america and to americans. Historically, economically, demographically, etc. But why are so much foreign policy, media, money, etc devoted to israel. It's easy to understand why russia or china or even north korea feature prominently. But why israel? But then again you already know all this so I'll end this here.

And it's not just the US, they are meddling in the UK as well ( but we all knew this anyway ).

That's deaths per joule so far. How would nuclear compete if far more renewables were installed, producing far more joules?

How about clean-up costs? Estimates for Fukushima vary from $76bn to $660bn depending who you ask.

How about general carelessness?

This is not unusual for the nuke industry, both civil and military.

Which is the problem. This is primarily a managerial issue, not a technological one. And the quality of executive and managerial decision-making of all kinds across the entire industry is nowhere near the standard required for future confidence. Especially given increasing risks from extreme climate change events.

Since when is that an axiom? He carefully analyzed the data and presented a falsifiable prediction along with his methodology. If he was wrong we should look at why and learn from it. (Did he fail to account for the virus mutating, could different regions have different co-morbidities or immunities?)

We should not rely on appeals to authority, those expert epidemiologists didn't do much better.
It doesn't matter so much now, but I don't want them cluttering up my phone's rom with default apps I might not like, or that I can't take with me to a new phone. An ideal Android for me would come out of the box with a dialer (preferably AOSP), clock, keyboard, launcher, AOSP Browser, and a play store stub (play store might not be ideal, but it's the path of least effort).
It's trivial to replace the stack usage with a data structure. I've written a number of extended-Pratt parsers that don't use the stack.

Also, a significant number of successful parsers have used recursion. As long as you successfully handle stack overflow and only hit it on pathological inputs, it works reasonably well.

Counterpoint: why is environmental impact of solar+batteries often not mentioned? Lithium, silicon tetrachloride, hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acid isn't exactly nice to produce or put into rivers.

Youtube recommendations are best effort. That effort has a computational budget and a time limit. The fastest and least computationally intensive recommendation is to pull the last set of recommendations out of the on-device local cache.

The next fastest thing is to recommend whatever is cached near the edge of your internet connection whether it fits your previous viewing or not. It generally does not do this. Instead it recommends edge-cached material with cosign similarity to your preferences. However, there might not be much of that if your preference is for outlying content.

The slowest and most computationally intensive recommendation would be to compute a new tensor of your preferences and run cosign similarity across the entire vector space of Youtube. It doesn't do this for obvious reasons even though that's what we all want.

Of course, this ignores the issue of Google revenue. Advertisers targeted you, target you based on the videos you've watched. So there's that too. Google recommends videos for which it has relevant advertisers.

Timescaledb Metrics
The pew article is more comprehensive than those two surveys. They also point out supporting data from

https://www.census.gov/library/publications/2019/demo/p60-26...

From which they conclude "In 2019, 20% of households are shared households, up from 17% in 2007."

https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/04/05/a-record-64...

from which they mention "By 2016, 20% of Americans lived in a multigenerational household, up from 12% in 1980"

One survey is one survey, multiple data points from a set of different perspectives is more comprehensive an analysis and less susceptible to single measurement methodology errors.

The main thing I take from this is that movement of a household income number is fairy meaningless unless you also know what household size number is measured or calculated with the income number.
Absolutely not. There's loads of stuff that makes it into mass shooter manifestoes that has clearly been part of inciting them to violence, but can't be cleanly traced back to a specific individual telling them to pull the trigger. Have a look at the subject of "stochastic terrorism".
ISBE and IDPH asked us to open this school year with full in-person learning for at least up to third grade, but left us to deal with the resource shortage on our own. We scrounged for thermal scanners and face masks but the lead time on refills for our wall/stand-mounted hand sanitizer dispensers is still 26 weeks. Back in February before the US wisened up to the threat, I placed a large order that would have later qualified as “hoarding”† because I figured it was a calculated precaution worth the investment and because we are ultimately responsible for the health and safety of our students, teachers, and their families; this was sufficient for us to continue until we closed in March (of our own volition prior to the governor’s order shutting down all schools) and we had enough left over for us to reopen, but we’re basically out now. Anyone with ideas about how to procure more hand sanitizer in bulk for schools, please reach out!

† No moral qualms here because there was no insane shortage in February, because it was not for myself or for personal/corporate profit, and because it wasn’t more than we could need in a worst case scenario which absolutely materialized (reopening school in a pandemic); imho it’s not unlike a governor who placed a large order for their state - for which they would be praised as prescient and not shot down as hoarding.
That sounds like it's an issue if one is copying from an untrusted server, for sure.

> But we had only converted a few paying customers (it was in the low 10s of paying customers), and most of those sales were VERY hands on. I was having to explain DNS to small business owners who all they know is their GoDaddy stopped working. It would some times take over a week from when they first contacted to when they had finally set up their DNS records, and another week before they would set up their DNS records correctly, and all of that for only $9/year. It wasn't sustainable.

Looks like the real money would've been a premium plan which offered hands on support and setup for non-technical users.
I think the site is bullish on nuclear power because it is overwhelmingly populated by reasonably educated people who are capable of performing risk analysis and understand cost/benefit tradeoffs.
