If you care about backing up your photos (and other media), for an indefinite period of time, the Perkeep (https://perkeep.org/) (earlier Camlistore) is very relevant.

> Perkeep (née Camlistore) is a set of open source formats, protocols, and software for modeling, storing, searching, sharing and synchronizing data in the post-PC era. Data may be files or objects, tweets or 5TB videos, and you can access it via a phone, browser or FUSE filesystem.

Edit Downvoted? I don't understand. Perkeep contains the same functionality as the post, but much more, is much more mature, and is totally open source (not like the posted software, where the important core, the server, is closed source).
Because we are on a thread about Amazon, and founder stock. We are also on HN, which has a startup context by default.

Of course not every company has investors. In fact I personally strongly favor that for my own endeavours nowadays, but that's not what the discussion was about.

At least they are transparent about it. Certain providers (not necessarily in the git space) would show green across the board and gaslight you if you question it.

However, you DO need breeder technology to treat all the 238U as a fuel. With burner reactors, the 239Pu produced is less than the fissionable material consumed, and most of the 238U ends up not being usable.

I'll add that with current technology, you can't reprocess MOX fuel another time (too many higher isotopes of Pu and transuranics beyond Pu are produced), so any Pu in it after it's consumed must be disposed of.
Very pathetic that Github took this repository down. I was about to move our company code over to Github from self hosted Gitlab, this move has put the a the brakes on that.

As others have mentioned, I believe that the main problem here is that youtube_dl is "showing intent" to violate DMCA. If they modify the readme, they might be able to prove that the intention of the software is not necessarily to violate DMCA, but maybe just being a general purpose code or one for educational purposes.

Regardless, it's possible to host PyPi wheels yourself if necessary. The installation process wont be as straight-forward as "pip install youtube_dl", but it's still doable with one command.
You Have to Stop Canceling and Rescheduling Things (2018)
Reprocessing plants are indeed much worse than nuclear power plants in terms of day-to-day radioactive release and many other safety aspects - which is why I get a little perplexed when nuclear proponents keep on pushing them as the solution to the nuclear waste problem. It's only waste because we foolishly don't use it as fuel, they say, but the processes for doing that are an absolute disaster (and also a nuclear weapons proliferation risk to boot).
It's doubtful to me that a founder leaves a failed project in a worse position than the first employee.

What risk exactly are we talking about and who has suffered it? (I'm assuming your suggestion of 'neck' is hyperbole)
Fossil is an approach to this.

On the subject of safety: if a prompt supercritical accident were to occur in a fast reactor, as happened at Chernobyl (which of course was not a fast reactor), the result could be even more extreme. If the rearrangement of fuel in the resulting event were to cause some small fraction of the core to compress into an even smaller volume (and this is difficult to rule out a priori), the reactor could explode like a nuclear bomb. Imagine an event where the entire contents of the core was ejected by a kiloton (or larger) explosion.

For this reason, I suspect only a homogenous fast reactor (molten salt reactor using chloride salts, for example) could be licensed.
Sorry, that article is from 2019, I don't work there anymore so I can't tell.

> The more we learn about nuclear, the more expensive it seems to get

This is a pretty gross falsehood.

Nuclear power is could be cheap and safe, but we _make_ it expensive by banning any form of innovation and by lying to the public about how risky it is compared to alternatives. The idea that nuclear is bad and costly becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy as the public incentivize politicians to ban it or regulate it into oblivion.

We should not be building the same basic reactor design as we have in the 1960s and 1970s. The fact that we're stuck on big, expensive containment vessels and water is a clue about what is happening to nuclear.
For any iOS users that want a self hosted photo backup I can very much recommend https://www.photosync-app.com/. I set it up once years ago, never open it and still it silently backups any photo and video (original and edited) I take to WebDAV and a B2 bucket in the background, sorted in subfolders for every month.
Yeah, somehow there's always a lot of love for spaced repetition even though it doesn't help with comprehension. I believe re learning complicated topics is better than mugging up jargon.

> If you make nuclear available, but it is not competitive with fossil fuel energy, then we will continue to use fossil fuel energy

I'll make kind of absurd argument, but how is nuclear not competitive with dying? You could always tax the shit out of fossil fuels and they won't be competitive. You could also make other laws that punish fossil fuel usage with death penalty since you could argue its a crime against humanity.
I mean, law is an abstract construct. This is a live or death situation. Even if we need to abandon 30 years of economic growth for the sake of surviving, then maybe it's what we need to do.
Have to make an entire movie to fit that in... Maybe one can host it on Youtube, for maximum irony.
While France has had good experiences with operation of existing facilities, they have not had good experiences with building reactors that could replace their aging fleet. For example at Flamanville:

> EDF estimated the cost at €3.3 billion[4] and stated it would start commercial operations in 2012, after construction lasting 54 months.[5] The latest cost estimate (July 2020) is at €19.1 billion, with commissioning planned tentatively at the end of 2022.[6][2]

> but how am I supposed to find new music to buy without some kind of radio/recommendation system

You can do both; use Spotify / Youtube whatever to find new songs, and then buy your own copy if you find something you like.

> Also I haven't owned a CD player that connects to a computer in 7 years. Even the gamer PC I just built 2 months ago I didn't put a drive in it.

Personally I no longer buy CD’s, I buy files on Bandcamp etc., but with the exception of the artwork most of the advantages are the same. And the songs synchronise with your tablet, your phone and will always be there without internet connection. I have a Spotify enabled DJ-app, and that integration stopped working recently, which was inconvenient, but really not a big deal because I have the files for my core library.

> I'm thinking I'll buy some of the songs I had marked in Google Play Music. I'm not sure I'll buy all of them or even if I can.

That’s a great idea. It’s true that you won’t find everything. But in between Bandcamp (lossless and big cut to artists), Qobuz (lossless and more major labels) and the iTunes Store (high quality AAC, cheap) a lot more is available than before, and DRM free. A much better situation than with video, for example.
> So it's only a problem if the video has a lot of views and ads?

Pretty much, yes. No one is going to hire expensive lawyers to enforce copyright on something not generating revenue, although legally they can.

> If that's the case, we should ban all Pi-holes, too

If Pi-hole is anywhere saying or implying "use us to watch $vendor's content without watching their ads" then yes pi-hole is waving a red flag at $vendor who is now motivated to try to ban pi-holes. If there is a legal action they can afford to take they will.

> What if I have YouTube Premium, then I don't see ads, so am I allowed to download via youtube-dl?

No, downloading is a separate "right" from the right to watching without ads. (Downloading is the first step before uploading elsewhere and literally stealing the ad revenue.) But I think there's a legal grey area if you're watching (streaming) with youtube-dl, without saving the file. I'm sure it's against Youtube's TOS though.
> The fact that copyrighted works were included in the readme shows it was intended for that use

It's an alternative web browser for videos, of course it was intended for copyrighted works, just like Chrome is. I don't understand your argument, is creating alternative web browsers illegal in the US somehow?
The key point about hydrogen is that the cost of storage capacity (to be distinguished from costs related to charging and discharging rates) is extremely low. So if you need a system to cover very rare extended outages, or to store energy from summer for use in winter, hydrogen is much better than batteries.
Credit cards are rare and pretty much useless in most European countries ( and damn right unusable in the Netherlands for instance).

Mortgages and car loans are pretty simple due to heavy regulation ( they have to show the total interest, how much you will end up paying in interest over the lifespan, etc.), what's there to learn about them?

Prior to 2000, the space industry was thought to be extremely complex and expensive and viable only by state sponsored efforts, i.e. NASA, ESA, and so on.

And then SpaceX, Blue Origin, and others have come along and shown that an industry that expensive can be profitable, cheap, and safe.

It's not a perfect analogy by a long shot, but it's similar in terms of (historical) investment.

There's no reason to believe that nuclear should be any different. The engineering and physics is well understood.

I'd say that you've omitted the word "current", i.e. "current Nuclear plants have always been uninsurable", and "current Nuclear only ever exists and will only ever continue to existing because of subsidies."

I'll re-iterate my previous comment, if Governments would step back from over regulation, and the desire for reactors to produce weapons grade uranium and plutonium as a by-product, then new designs could be achieved quickly, cheaply, and safely.

As for distribution, you can still distribute stacks and people who have livecode can run it without fuss. That still works. One unique feature from livecode is its ability to cross-compile a standalone and I decided to demo that in the post because I felt many people would like to distribute applications, that dosn't mean it is the only way to do it.

A technique that many of us use is having a "loader stack" which just load a stack from disk or network, then we build a standalone from that loader stack, while still being able to edit the real stack. This made creating self-updating applications really easy before the days of sparkle and notirizaton. I remember shipping auto-updating applications on early MacOS X (and I bet people did it in classic).

As for XCMD they used to work but they don't anymore. Now, livecode has "livecode builder" language which is a low-level livecode-like language that allows you to do FFI, and you can still build "externals" which are native modules that you can call from livecode.

Rote learning absolutely does help with comprehension. If you understand all of the words in

“ Tod mach’s mir leicht, wenn du kommst vor deiner Zeit” reading it and understanding it is trivial. If you have to look up each word individually your comprehension will at best be enormously slowed. The same principle applies if what you’re reading is a chemical formula, a logical proof or a description of a historical event. Knowing the 200 or so most important events of the French Revolution by date with two sentences of explanation for context makes reading further on it enormously more productive.

I always knew that badge delete was common in Germany, but after living here a while I really appreciate how clean it makes the back of the car look. Once in a while you see a car with like 5 different badges for trim, performance and whatnot on the back, and you think, "that looks tacky".

The only thing that's getting in the way of an even cleaner look is that the manufacturer badges are getting massive. I don't need to know at 50 meters that the car in front of me is a VW.

Best google photos clone I've come across so far.
I wish I could agree, but its more likely that Google et al will either phase out the service or replace it with an inferior one. For example, a while ago Google stopped the ability to download full quality originals from the Google Photos service. Since then I have to plug in my phone every once in a while to download the originals to my computer and back them up manually.

I also remember when I left Facebook and asked for an archive of my photos, I got 800x600 images when I had uploaded much higher resolution ones. Service degradation is actually more common in FAANG because they have a massive moat and rely on the fact that 90% of their customers don't know their 1's from their 0's.
> No such thing. Children cannot legally consent to sexual activity because they cannot meaningfully consent to it in the moral sense, either. ... Therefore, all sexual activity between an adult and a child is rape.

That is very jurisdiction-specific / cultural-specific position. In my home country, there is clear legal disctinction between child rape (non-consensual sex with child) and child sex abuse (consensual sex with child).

I would be surprised if the 'age-of-consent' laws (the age limit name is also cultural specific, here it is 'age-of-legal-competence') were generally motivated by legal fiction about children unable to give consent. That seems to me more like ex-post rationalization of such laws. IMHO these laws just codify social mores without need of specific rationalization (like incest laws).
We only need nuclear if you care about co2 (even then its debatable, but whatever).
