Michael Shellenberger has been pushing his recent book pretty hard recently and it seems they are also trying to gain attention with the anti-intellectuals now after failing with the other side. He has been on Tucker Carlson recently.

Besides that Shellenberger bought Zion Lights. A former spokesperson for Extinction Rebellion in the UK.
All good, and no problem - I try to follow a mostly-append-only commenting approach where possible, hence the edit notes.

Glad to read what you find; I think some of these figures may also be due for updates given the latest updates around small modular reactors -- and no doubt renewable tech continues to advance too.

Seeking professional help was the single most productive step towards dealing with my mental health issues. Fore that was talking to my family doctor and starting regular counseling. From there everything else got easier.
Hang in there. Talk to someone, just get it started and good things will happen.
Definitely possible, but that's a bit "magic". It's nicer not to have to rely on methods being named exactly a certain way.

There was a discussion on reddit about this exact same thing, shows that attributes lets you bind multiple events to the same listener more easily: https://www.reddit.com/r/PHP/comments/jgkp2r/php_8_before_an...
Im pretty open with it. I am a conference speaker on behalf of OSMI[0] (Open Sourcing Mental Illness) and I've been incredibly open about my depression/anxiety and my time with a therapist.

It's not easy, but I feel that if at least one person is helped by me speaking up it's absolutely worth it.

Yes, it's correct and it should return that. The top-level serialization format is simply a URL query string aka application/x-www-form-urlencoded. No idea why but probably historical reasons.
Look, people spend money on it because people DO look at these things. I don't think a big splashy banner in my signature looks good, but if I get even a handful of extra people attending my webinar then it DOES pay for itself.

This isn't some sort of idealistic view of the "way the world should be", it's just people doing stuff to optimize for their marketing & sales funnel, whether or not it annoys you or is a "waste of bytes"
> You owned a copy of it, but not the right to copy it.

In the US, the Audio Home Recording Act of 1992 explicitly legalized personal and noncommercial copying (e.g. mix tapes) and established a tape tax to compensate record companies (!), musicians, songwriters, and music publishers.

Indeed "Rip. Mix. Burn." was Apple's slogan for iTunes in 2001, and it seems to have depended on the AHRA (and "music CD-R" media, which included the tape tax.)

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Apple subsequently argued that iPods were exempt from the tape tax and made it hard to record music off of iPods onto other media. One could imagine an alternate world where Apple('s customers) paid the AHRA tape tax and Apple enabled easy "rip/mix/burn" across iPhones and other devices.
It seems the anti-nuclear crowd on HN always points out the cost/MWH vs wind/solar as a sort of coup des grace against nuclear but I have never understood that argument. Can someone help me to understand how the same reasoning couldn't be applied to fusion entrepreneurship as well? The cost per MWH for fusion right now is infinity because we can't _yet_ get net energy gain. Should the current inefficiency stop innovation and investment?
> Gaseous, sure. It also emits radioactivity.

Pretty much everything on Earth emits radioactivity. Oh, and you get cosmic radiations every day as well.
> - debugging a super large program ? loading gdb may take two minutes while recompiling to add a printf only 3-4 seconds.

Relinking a super large program may take minutes, whereas loading gdb can get me a backtrace in 3-4 seconds! VS natvis files and other visualizers can hot-reload while I'm looking at a crash dump from production that took hours to trigger/gather/repro!

There are cases for logs - where sufficiently efficient conditional breakpoints are particularly painful to setup, for example - but the only time I've waited minutes for a debugger to respond has been with VS after major system updates as it refreshes a universe of symbols from the symbol server.

Do you have some really slow python scripts auto-loading in GDB or something?
I would too, but we're not doing it. That leaves me wondering if maybe we should plan (and commit) to build nuclear up to, say, 50% of our energy need and then start to reduce that when we actually build wind/solar/hydro to replace it. Xor commit to building those renewables instead (concretely: X MWh using renewable technology Y in location Z). Or, heck, use coal and carbon capture (real stuff, not tree planting, preventing emissions elsewhere, or other cheap magic that doesn't actually take the CO2 back out of the air) in case that's the way people want to go. I don't care, just get started already.

It's not my choice, I already vote for parties that want to take more action, my energy provider is one that actively builds out renewables, and I don't own an amount of land where even a single solar panel would fit. We can't do this on an individual level so I guess governments will have to decide what goes where. It's up to them, but we can't choose it do neither solution.
Detailed criticism is meant to bring people up, not down. There are better web communities if the only thing you want to get is encouragements (not that encouragement is bad, but it's way cheaper than criticism). It's your choice to see the critique as "this is a roadblock", or "this could be a good roadmap item".

So it looks like the takedown notice has nothing to do with the actual developer of youtube-dl. I.e., the developer could distribute their code somewhere else and the RIAA would be left playing whack-a-mole.

Well, we don't actually know this do we? We know that it's very hard, and that it's never been done before, but so was running a sub-4 mile for most of human history.

If you work on years 1-2 of Project 1, shouldn't that put you in a good position to work on years 1-2 of Project 2? You might not see the effects of bad decisions that start mattering in year 6, but it seems there should be lots of workers for whom that doesn't matter, and for the rest, it seems like having some people do close inspections and produce good reports (which others read when they're on Project 3+) might mostly cover that. Seems like this should be mostly solvable...

I've actually started to transition my shell scripts to eLisp for better integration in to Emacs and eshell.

As a Lisp, eLisp is not the greatest, but I'd still much rather use it than Python.

2300-Year-Old Scythian Woman’s Boot Preserved in the Frozen Ground
I have always found it odd, and sadly commentary on the state of the nation that soo many people put so much weight on the office of president.

It is become itself a title of nobility in a way something the founders opposed.

With the consolidation of power, and congress' continual abjection of their responsibility to legislation (something BOTH parties are guilty of) and instead passing more and more power to the executive and courts the office of president and now the Supreme Court are considered more of a legislative body than the actual legislature. That is equal parts alarming and sad

Ideally the president should be one of the least important races a person casts for vote for, not the most important
It's a perfectly good technology for finding the edges of continental plates, the heavy underground structures that trap oil, etc.

Your answer is absurd. You could also have given the energy density of a black hole and your answer would still not make any sense.
For me, its more that hearing any song for a few chord changes conjures up other songs in either the same key or with the same chord progression, independent of key.

I remember noticing in highschool that hitting a few different corrugated plastic gutter pipes in my backyard would allow playing the bass line to Crazy Train...in principle, i immediately recognize the notes to different beeps and alarms in daily life and think about it unconsciously.

Well that's quite nice that Facebook understands their intentions are positive, surely Facebook will just supply then the data directly instead!
Energy density does not provide any practical advantage for nuclear over other electrical generation technologies.

It's like pointing out that solar runs on photons, and therefore it's "fuel" has infinite energy density. It doesn't really impact its use by humans.
I was already aware of why GPS is usually mentioned in context of GR (it is like one of the few cases where we need to make GR corrections), but still think it's a dumb headline. Time changing due to gravity is sort of the foundational insight of GR. It's true that GPS needs to take into account GR effects... that is essentially where the connection between GPS and these stars starts and ends.

GR is all around us.
Well that's a pretty simplistic view.

I think this is, again, too simplistic a model for understanding the costs of different power systems. Industrial use cases (think data centers, factories, etc) likely reduce usage during night time hours but they surely don't drop by 50% usage.

> The bottom half of the demand is the easy half, why would you use your most expensive power for the easy stuff?

Factoring in carbon footprints nuclear would likely beat our battery based storage options if carbon output was taxed. Nickel–metal hydride battery and LiPo are not carbon neutral and are consumable components.

> In other words, you're running your nuclear at a 50% duty cycle, doubling it's price. I don't think there is much appetite for power that costs over $200 per MWh.

50% duty cycle means 50% fuel usage (not really but not not) meaning you're not really "wasting" energy here.

Another question to ask ourselves: we make the Total Cost of Ownership of a plant far better than it even currently is? We can do this by extending the lifespan of a plant to amortize construction. If you could design a power plant to last 100 to 200 years, that could be amortized further factoring into lower costs. We can also do this by reducing construction costs or improving efficiency.

I think those are accomplish-able goals (at least judging by China's adoption of Nuclear). Current plants in the USA operate for ~40 years. That means current plants were built with ~$today-50 (or more) years of physics and material science knowledge.

For context, that's the 70s. In the 70s:

- C was invented

- TTL logic was just starting to be used

- Stainless steel did not exist <- this statement was wrong

Edit: philipkglass pointed out that stainless steel is quite a bit older. Disregard that last item.

Napster wasn't merely a tool it was a centralized service that provided an index of infringing files and where to get them. It both directly assisted in the act of infringement it profited from same.

You used the words "unintended side effect" in quotes but I am unaware of where that comes from while I am familiar with the term "substantial non-infringing use" and "contributory copyright infringement"

Youtube-dl neither assists nor profits from copyright infringement and it possesses arguably non infringing uses.

- You can download non infringing videos. Youtube-dl works on a variety of sites beyond youtube

- If you feed mpv a url it will transparently use youtube-dl to handle fetching the media for playback. Unless you specifically tell it to this does not permanently save the video and is not materially different from watching the video on firefox.

Mpv incidentally uses far less resources for decoding video even with newly added hardware decoding in linux.

- You can consume the same video you are allowed to access on a different device or in a situation wherein you lack network access. For example one could watch and then delete a youtube video one wanted to watch on the train where you lacked internet access. This is analogous to format or time shifting which have been deemed fair use.
That link seems to speak only of the effects of hitting the hoped for limit of warming (1.5 Celsius), while it's entirely possible that we will surpass that. Even if we do stop at the 1.5 C limit, it seems silly to say "manageable". We are already seeing massive a drop-off in biodiversity and increases in extinctions. We don't even fully know how the ecological damage we're already seeing will echo into the future, but the outcomes are almost certainly not good.

Beyond the unknowns of ecological damage, the increases in forest fire and storm event damages we're already seeing are also hitting us now, not in decades. Further, from everything I have read thus far since that report was released , most of the models have underestimated the release of methane, which could mean we're already accelerating faster than previously thought. All of this also assumes that there will be a massive effort to cut emissions to 0 in a reasonable time - a big assumption in the time of Trump's America.

I don't get why you where downvoted. the analogy is pretty accurate. knifes are utilities which can be used to kill. guns are made for killing only.

There are plenty of legitimate uses for youtube-dl. There is even fair use in the US. How can i make fair use, eg. remix or a commentary if i can't access the videos outside of youtube.
Probably because YouTube premium let’s you do that.

Non audiophiles don't require more than 256kbps which is about the highest you can do for AAC anyway. Sure 320kbps can on some occasions be better on consumer hardware but I am not sure most will notice a difference.
So maybe 320kbps but I am really skeptical of people who need more.

PHP laughably adds warts almost as fast as it removes them, then codifies the new ones as intentional. Hack was a good attempt, but I fear it's too late to fix the soup of features by forking/cloning. I sincerely believe another language will replace it (not python), if they havent already (javascript shudder).

I've used PHP professionally for over 20 years along with other languages. The decisioning of language design, at large, has been mired in "good enough and doesn't break backward compatibility" nonsense all over the spectrum. PHP was the poster child of thinking differently in the 90s. Make the languages BETTER by looking at others, not clutching your Perls /s. Arcane sigils are not the way forward, that's a known (eg Erlang, Haskell, Pony, Perl, etc), even with powerful features that put existing languages to shame.

Coincidentally, that's pretty close to the odds that 538 gave to Trump winning overall in 2016.
> The bottom half of the demand is the easy half

It's not so easy when you have to meet it even when there is no wind or sunlight for twelve hours straight.

> In other words, you're running your nuclear at a 50% duty cycle, doubling it's price.

You're still running it at a 100% duty cycle, you're just shifting the generation times. You have a reactor that can produce heat enough to generate 1GW continuous power, so it stores that heat for six hours a day during peak solar generation, then generates 2GW for six hours to cover peak demand in the evening, then generates 1GW directly for twelve hours overnight. It's generating 1GW worth of heat at all times, you're just converting the heat to electricity at different times of the day.

The point being made in this takedown is that youtube-dl can be used for copyright infringement and is being used for copyright infringement, and the test cases pretty much do exactly that. (In fact, if you're a lawyer with a bit of an idea of software engineering, you might make the argument that the code is testing the correctness of whether it can infringe copyright!)

As an (hastily made, non-expert) example consider a particular gun called the "PandaHunter 9000". Now, pandas being endangered species and such, and having reports that people use buy the "PandaHunter 9000" to kill pandas, you might consider banning the purchase of such a gun. Of course, the manufacturer is going to say that you can use the gun for something else, and its intended purpose is not to kill pandas, but then imagine you find that they've actually been shooting pandas with the gun to test it. Do you see why youtube-dl has put itself in a somewhat unfortunate spot?

I'll bite: the energy density of sunlight on average is something like 1.4 kW/m^2

If you put down a square meter of solar panel, weigh it and run it for an hour to get an equivalent wh/kg and compare to almost any other energy source (except maybe wind?) you will find it to be complete garbage.

The only thing solar has going for it is it's free, basically no waste products and you can find it literally anywhere on the surface of the earth.

What will server as the 'whatever'?

I'm speaking exactly about decentralized publishing. Where the repository is mirrored in content addressed network, so there is no specific location(s) to take down.

(I realize it is problematic, because even with content addressed mirroring, the people who actually host the replicas of the content, can be accused of distributing prohibited content, but still it's more difficult to censor, and maybe those problems are solvable).

Just curious.

>>> Granted, in that case the smaller states would probably lose meaning but eh. Isn't that what democracy is about?

Which is exactly why the founders set up the electoral collage in the first place, because they had no desire for a strait democracy, nor do I

democracy is 2 wolfs and a lamb voting on what is for dinner, I have no desire to live in such a system. I prefer a constitutional republic of independent states bound by a common defense, economic and legal system aka the United States of America

>There should be either a two-tier system with points from winning a state and from getting the most votes

Something like that be done under the current system in fact 2 states already do this by Proportionally allocating their electors instead of winner take all

There is nothing under the current system preventing a state from doing that

Personally I have always been in favor of Every congressional District being awarded by the popular vote of that district, which would leave 2 "At Large" votes per state to be given out based on the popular vote of the state.
