In point 18 of this article: http://backreaction.blogspot.com/2019/03/nonsense-arguments-...,
her first suggestion for an alternative avenue of research is

> (a) Astrophysical and cosmological observations attributed to dark matter. These are discrepancies between theory and data which should be studied closer, until we have pinned down the theory. Some people have mistakenly claimed I am advocating more direct detection experiments for certain types of dark matter particles. This is not so. I am saying we need better observations of the already known discrepancies. Better sky coverage, better resolution, better stats. If we have a good idea what dark matter is, we can think of building a collider to test it, if that turns out to be useful
This was a good summary of my thoughts on this topic as well, thanks for adding it to the discussion.

It seems to me the only sensible option is to have all the nuclear power contained in one huge reactor, and keeping that reactor some 150 million kilometers from any humans. Luckily we already have that! ;-)

Personally I believe we already have the solution to the energy problem in the form of hydrogen gas, which can be made from seawater in harmless and well known ways. Water which is returned when the energy is consumed, so the possibility of also solving the water crisis at the same time seems worth exploring.

It's hard to even theorize about a more optimal solution.

The sun is for all earthly intents a limitless power source, and we now have the technical means of capturing and storing it without permanently consuming any resources on earth. So why don't we just do that? Why are not all energy projects supporting that optimal solution instead of pursuing other goals?

Even nuclear proponents are hopefully mostly interested in nuclear as a means to an end, and not just nuclear as a thing in itself.

There are challenges with both solar panels and hydrogen gas for sure, but as far as I can tell all of them are small compared to the various challenges around nuclear power.

Elon Musk should get on this, he has most of the pieces of the puzzle already!

Have the Boring company make underground storage caves for hydrogen, let Solar City make the gas, and use tech from SpaceX to store and burn it optimally! :)
To quote your other comment:

> [...] email can be encrypted at rest. We just chose not to do it at the very moment due to the very little added benefit we see in our overall setup.

claiming that everyone who chooses differently is selling quackery is not a good look. The same way I could claim you are selling quackery because you refuse to implement an additional security-in-depth layer.
> He is polling 10-20 points better among Hispanic people in Florida, for example, than in 2016.

Not too surprising.
Many Hispanic in Florida are Cuban, and republican. There are two Cuban US senators (Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz), they are both republican.

Hispanic people are not a single voting block, due to their diverse cultural backgrounds (black, white, Indigenous South American, mixed, rich, poor)

Maxwell's equations are linear, so probably not complicated enough to support the idea that they can generate human-like actions before they interact with matter.
That wouldn't apply to Espressif since they started with WiFi, right?
Yeah, it does not seem to matter how unreliable it is.

If you send some some particles every time event occurs and occasionally they are received, even a single detection now gives the receiver information: that event occurred.

If the particles were sent FTL, you can now setup the standard causality paradoxes.
The takedown may spark new life to the project development, which severely slowed down in the last months because there are too few maintainers.
> https://pingcap.com/blog/rust-compilation-model-calamity

Most of those issues are either about the compiler (it generates a lot of LLVM IR, it's single-threaded), or apply equally well to C++ (monomorphization, macros, build scripts). Nothing significantly impacting compilation times is fundamental to the language afaict.

> It's same issue as in C# and many others: someone has to write and support the bindings, which adds cost.

True.

> In VM-based languages which don't use unsafe code

Since you've added that qualifier, sure, Rust would be less safe. But how many VMs don't have such escape hatches? JavaScript in the browser is the only one that comes to mind.

> vulnerabilities like this are impossible by design

I find this very hard to believe. Even if your VM has no unsafe code, its standard library is probably implemented in unsafe code, where vulnerabilities like this can definitely happen.

Resurge Pills Reviews
Numerous individuals who battle with abundance weight will attempt to lose that weight just by not eating. That frequently doesn't work, as it makes what is known as a yo-yo impact. That implies the individual moves between different extremes. They are hopeless when they quit eating and afterward indulge when they get off their eating routine or when they quit fasting. This makes their weight inflatable, and it makes an undesirable pattern of outrageous weight reduction, indulging and general hopelessness.

Maybe we need apache with DMCA clause (like patent clause)-if you ever invoke DMCA your license is forfeit?

I'm not sure how viable it is - the GPL is hack on top of copyright - but the DMCA is an extension on top of copyright too (however ill advised).
Are you talking about connection pooling to services like databases and caches? Most extensions implement it (pgsql and I think MySQL) but you need to configure it. I’ve also use a local nginx proxy to pool the connections.
On single point forecasts for fat-tailed variables (Taleb vs. Ioannidis)
This new map was super informative to me, a layman. I hadn’t read about chirality in particle physics, and didn’t realize it was a key difference between the fundamental particles.

I really appreciate this new map — it makes the information much more approachable.
What kind of tooling / libraries are used with these? Eg IP or 6Lowpan stack.
Probably also with a peripheral access crate (type-safe register definitions) and and HAL integration.
The setup issues aside, these devices need very little data, have small antennas and are often in hard to reach places.

2.4ghz with its better coverage is actually more appropriate.

You're joking?
The same could be said of the standard libary vulnerability you linked. But for other code,

(a) that's why people use cargo-geiger.

(b) you're arguing about the very small number of virtual machines that don't give their users such escape hatches.
Since tunneling is not reliable, you have to use an error correcting code, which means that you have to send more particles, which takes more time. The two effects balance and you can’t send reliable information faster than c.

>Sure, but mixture models and mutually exclusive events are less common to work with than just "models."

What do you mean by this? A mixture model is just a model.

Also, how can you do absolutely anything without "working with mutually exclusive events"? You need mutual exclusivity to support the concept of a decision or a hypothesis.
I acknowledged the basics should be taught; and how compound interest and small investment early on would be part of that - the multitude of further options and detail aren't core.
I dont know, I wouldn't recommend using Facebook or Instagram as backup, and even services like Microsofts One drive have been known to dissapear files. A 'dumb' WebDAV service makes it easy to move data in and out, enabling hedging. Or a company like Backblaze, which has no other monetisation scheme and thus no interest other than keeping your bits safe.

I think you can make much better choices than FAANG or a random company, and I advise anyone to go with that better choice.
Similarly as in Chernobyl, the chain reaction produced excess heat, and this likely caused water to dissociate into oxygen/hdydrogenium which caused the big explosion. In that sense, it was not a nuclear explosion, but one caused by an out-of-control chain reaction.

If I remember correctly, there were also reports of some observations of short-lived fission products. But we still do not know exactly what happened.

Roughly the same could have happened in Three Miles Island, because the reactor was melting down, but the process was stopped, possibly very little time before the reactor would have been destroyed.
where are code reviews

A valid answer might be "nowhere". Code review is a hot topic at the moment, but I'm pretty sure a lot of software I've found useful over the years was created with little or no formal review, and I think we should at least consider the possibility of leaving trustworthy developers to work without constant oversight.
Yes folks, take a look at git-bug, Michael has done a brilliant job of adding issues and comments into your git repos, and for a pre v1 project it works really well already, and you can import from / to github, gitlab and JIRA.

git-bug is a pleasure to use so I'm attempting to get it running in the browser using wasm, to create a decentralised github on p2p storage. I'm targeting Safe Network but the same approach could be used on anything with a storage backend, from NextCloud to IPFS, even [cough] AWS.

> One way that Rust compiles way slower than C++ is its Gentoo approach to libraries. With C++ I only compile my own code.

That's a very good point, and maybe I'm being needlessly pedantic by considering it a part of the current (and only) implementation rather than a fundamental part of the language.

> We have already learned to scale down from threads and go back to processes for security and stability reasons.

Who is "we"? I still see a lot of parallel code being written with threads or async/await, and Rust's ownership system gives additional safety in both cases.
Genuinely curious about the last sentence and would like to learn more on the Gentoo approach. Could you please provide a link or a little more details?
I'm lost browsing the radicle website and all its links. Ultimately, I found https://github.com/radicle-dev/radicle-link , following the link "browse the protocol", which mentions: "WORK IN PROGRESS - In fact, there is nothing substantial to see here yet". Is it a yet unreleased software? (that would explain why I can't find a way to try it out).

If it's the case and if anyone from the project is reading this, it would be helpful to mention it on top of landing page.

Also, the landing page is mentioning ssb, is this related to git-ssb?

> how do you handle issue/comment spammers?

I love how ssb is handling that : it's not a problem because you create a "web of trust" and only content from people you trust and people they trust reaches you - and trust can be revoked in case of problem. Obviously, it creates an other problem, though : how a benevolent total stranger can reach you?

By the way, yet an other alternative is hypergit ( https://github.com/noffle/hypergit ). It uses hyperdb/dat. I used it a few times to share code with friends, I loved it because it was the most straightforward for them to install and use.
Ha, not a bit surprised. If every one agreed or did so quickly, then it would violate fundamental principles of the Quantum Disagreement Theory. ;-)

Yes. Git commits include the hash of the previous commit, creating a cryptographic chain. If you can verify the signature at the tip of a branch you effectively verify the complete history of the branch.

Sadly not every maintainer signs their commits or tags.
I remember storing photos on fotki.com some years ago based on a recommendation. From a colleague. Functionally it was a good platform. After some years I wanted to download and they wanted to charge me $500 for access to my files.

Yes, this is the difference for me too. Apple's curated playlists look like an actual human made them with some forethought. Spotify's playlists are just autogenerated.

The other market distortion that enabled nuclear to be built was the regulated monopolies of electric utilities. These utilities earn based on their capital investment, so the larger the capital investment they can get the regulators to swallow, the better. And this is best done by systems with large up front costs, costs that can be underestimated then escalated after the initial fixed investment.

What really killed the first wave of nuclear in the US was not TMI or over-regulation, but the passage of PURPA that began to open the markets to competition from non-utility suppliers.
I think we can do fine without Gitlab for a day.

This sounds to me like you've not really bought in to the peripheral software project tools Gitlab offers like boards, issue tracking, CI/CD for running tests, etc. In which case, Gitlab seems a bit like overkill. Running your own git remote is pretty straightforward.
By "the Gentoo approach", I think pjmlp is referring to the fact that Cargo crates are usually compiled from source for each project, rather than simply distributing binaries. See [the Wikipedia article for Gentoo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gentoo_Linux):

> Unlike a binary software distribution, the source code is compiled locally according to the user's preferences and is often optimized for the specific type of computer.
I'd agree with most of that; my point is there are many years of education - investing a significant amount of that in knowledge about the complexities of financial markets is utterly irrelevant to most people's lives; Maths and English are far more important at a deeper level over a life lived than bloody stocks and shares.
Who Owns the Web’s Data?
This case is going to be really interesting if it goes to court, but right now it's not in court.

The letter makes two claims, "copyright infringement" which might be substantiated by the readme, (but not against youtube-dl authors, perhaps against their users) and "anticircumvention [sic]" which is the meat of their real issue.

The making of a copy is not outside of fair use unless it fails the balance test, aka "four factors."

Sony Betamax disagrees with you, if we can agree that youtube is similar to a broadcast medium and that youtube-dl is similar to a "VTR" from that case, aka VCR, unless there are other substantial differences that I'm missing.

Making a copy is only infringing if it isn't for fair use, and Betamax ruled that time shifting could be fair use.

One of the four factors is market impact, so how is the market for this content impacted by this taking a permanent copy? It would be impacted if the purpose and character of the copy was inconsistent with fair use, but remember youtube-dl hasn't taken or shared any permanent copies.

So unless you think that youtube-dl has made a copyright violation (which I think we've established they haven't) then youtube-dl is Sony Betamax, permitted to sell VTRs as long as there are substantial non-infringing uses, and the copyright claim will have to be brought against the infringing users.

That does not mean the courts won't find this is an "anticircumvention device" or will find that the takedown is improperly executed. They may very well rule it is an illegal anticircumvention device, Betamax happened before DMCA, and didn't decide anticircumvention.

But to my knowledge, in Sony one of the opinions spoke about "jamming" with hypothetical language, stating that it could be possible for Sony to build a box that jams unauthorized copying and I'm not aware of landmark cases that would have solidified those concepts.

If RIAA has accurately characterized the key rotation mechanism in YouTube then youtube-dl may well be ruled a circumvention device and that could be the end of it, fair use or no.

To be fair, the esp* chips don't have memory mapped on-chip flash but load the code from external SPI flash to RAM at startup.

While that solution is cheaper (and also faster due to executing from RAM) it adds a small delay at startup powering the large RAM uses more energy.

> Separate failure domains is an advantage of self-hosted.

Well the responsibility falls on the infrastructure people in an open-source project as soon as you self-host. But then again many open-source projects already do this. I'd rather have control over my repositories than host them on someone else's server which is why I'd go for self-hosted Gitlab or Gitea.

This has been my point which I have made for self-hosting over the last few months since GitHub was down on a regular basis, and going against locking in their ecosystem, which is another risk. GitLab cloud is no different. [0]

Rust is no harder to learn well than C, as someone else has already commented.

My experience is the opposite of this. Back when dinosaurs walked the earth, I moved from one system language (Ada) to C and, in a couple of months, I was writing device drivers. I have struggled with Rust on hobby projects for a few years and have given it up 3 times -- this is despite having 18 years of C++ experience.

I would not say that you are wrong, just that this statement about the learning curve is not true for everyone.
I’ve seen some self-balancing backed priority queues implementations, using some quirks of PHP, that are faster than the C implemented ones and faster than a “standard” implementation. Wall clock time, it’s still O(log n).
> Every dev is allowed to spin up their own service. Teams can self organize and self govern around business problems they feel like solving. The best teams are the ones that produce the services that product owners rely on the most to get things done.

Have you considered handover, people moving on, new hires, etc? One guy running one service sounds like entrenchment to me. You need, as a company, to ensure people are replaceable. One way to do that is to for example stick to one or two programming languages.

You cannot, as a company, afford to have your services be written in a dozen different languages by a dozen different people. That's a huge risk.
