I have a plan from Kaiser, which is a non profit health care system in the US. They do everything in house, which is pretty cool. I asked my doctor for a blood test, and he gave me a quick ticket, then I went downstairs, gave them my ticket, and they took the blood test immediately. Then about 6-7 hours later the tests were available from their website. I have to have an endoscopy done, and it's also done in a different building adjacent to the doctors office.
I was quite surprised when I realized that Python failed a lot at being async.

If your kid bypasses controls, though, that's something else you can address. Surely you have some levers you can pull.

My eldest is currently locked down on devices because he googled a couple of answers to the online advanced math class he was taking. (It was stupid; he had honestly completed much harder problems but for some reason decided to cheat on a couple of easy ones).

He's not going to bypass controls because A) he knows he will get access back (carrot), and B) he knows that if he further abuses trust that things can get much worse (stick)... and of course C) he knows that we will know if controls are bypassed.

I had a good one with a thesis student I supervised. The security micro she chose was designed to sit between SPI Flash and the main SoC, so a big feature was hardware accelerated SPI slave support. Guess what feature didn't work on the dev board...
I have some things to add that might be interesting to the aspiring woodworker.

I used to be a professional carpenter and joiner. I have spent long hours with a router. All these years later it it one of those tools I hate to touch. I know lots of publications like to market the router as the swiss army knife of the workshop, but they are noisy agressive machines that turn wood into horrible fine dust. They are expensive and so is the tooling. The tooling does not last long. If you are woodworking for fun then consider another way. Pick up an old moulding or plough plane second hand and enjoy what you are doing as a hobby.

I built my professional router table with an 6mm polycarbonate insert. Make a second one with a smaller hole, then you don't need the 3d printed bits. I never put a lift on it, I tipped it on its side to adjust it. Changing tooling is far more common than changing height, and that is a pita in a table whatever, unless it turns over. The whole setup cost maybe £50 if you bought everything new. My fence was homemade too, it was heavy and tall and made out of MDF.

Seriously though, buy some saws, chisels and planes and have fun. They are quiet, safe and produce chips not dust and can do everything a router can in a slower but more enjoyable way.
Same. They finally offered me the ability to get off of Hangouts and onto their messenger through Google Fi which I pay for. I've been waiting years for this and it's been a good experience.

With the newer breeders (FAST), the main difference is safety. You don't need the same control mechanisms because they automatically cool down due to the physics of them so that they don't melt down. I'd imagine that FAST reactors eliminating the need for ever increasing safety tech and complexity of it for conventional reactors would be a cost savings (or at least make it close). Not to mention the clean up costs when you compare to a conventional reactor that could melt down, even if it's rare.

I'm not saying that the engineers are idiots. But there are some engineers (supported by government or corporate funds) still building new prototypes and testing new designs, such as FAST. Especially in the US, a driving reason that new designs aren't used is that there have been few built I'm recent decades - partially due to lower cost alternatives and also due to public opinion.

Python 3.7 and friends do have async support; and, Django has been recently gaining it, finally.

Prior to the new async stuff, though, Python was a horrible language if you had internal microservices bouncing requests off each other - the edge layer would wait a very long time for all those secondary requests to finish before it could respond.
Actually that's exactly why I like Japanese made product. In the west it's almost always 3 button device but to access most functionality you need to do some arcane ritual like press this button for 5 seconds then press this button then you will see the LED flashing and now you can do what you want.

> CGN Power, the listed unit of state-owned China General Nuclear Power, China’s largest nuclear power projects developer, has announced a 17 per cent capital increase at its Taishan nuclear project, raising concern cost overruns and commissioning delays will continue.

> The company will inject 2.94 billion yuan into its 51 per cent-held unit Taishan Nuclear Power Joint Venture, which will see the unit’s total registered capital to 28.6 billion yuan from 24.4 billion yuan, the company said in a filing to Hong Kong’s bourse late on Tuesday.
Provincial government-controlled Guangdong Yudean, the province’s largest power producer, owns 19 per cent stake, and CGN’s French technology partner EDF holds 30 per cent stake.

> CGN said the capital injection serves “to enhance its financing ability so as to meet its fund requirements for engineering construction.”

> The project, which CGN said on track to become the world’s first third-generation nuclear reactor built on the European pressurised reactors (EPR) design to achieve commercial operation, was originally expected to have its first generating unit come online in December 2013 followed by the second in October 2014.

> The timetable of the two units subsequently slipped to the first and second half of this year, and further to the first and second half of next year after “comprehensive evaluation on subsequent engineering construction plan and relevant risks,” said CGN a year ago.

I’m not aware of any tests that distinguish “true” Christians from those merely claiming to be Christians.
Interesting points.

I think that social networks are not public utilities, but they need to respond to the laws of the countries they operate.

For example: IMO it's not up to YouTube to decide automatically if something is a copyright infringement but rather the copyright holder should file a legal complain and the jurisdictional system should have the final word.

Social networks on the other hand should be liable if the only way to contact them is some private ticket system that do not engage a public investigation.

For example: a comment has been deleted because it's been signaled. The author should have a way to appeal through an independent state run office that will take the final decision.

Maybe it would not make things faster or better, but since public offices duty is to serve the public, it's their natural role to respond and resolve disputes, if we let private companies decide on what's right and what's not, we lose control of the public speech, what we achieved building up democracies.

There are a lot of ways in which this setup could be abused by tyrants and dictatorships, but it's already happening and letting SN do all the work it's not gonna fix it.

That's dodging the issue, which is that if you are going to argue that secular humaninsm is identical with christianity, then logically, you must accept that christianity is identical with secular humanism: No God, no creation, no Trinity, Christ is not the son of God in any sense... and if you do, then all the explicitly theological and christian concepts can be stripped out with Occam's razor.

> People who argue that free speech is somehow only applicable to the government do a bait and switch between the first amendment, which is, and freedom of speech, which isn't.

There are different understandings of the right to free speech, but a very common one (both now and at the time of the Founding and the First Amendment) is that it is the right of private parties to decide what ideas to expression, including deciding what ideas to use their resources to express and relay, free from government intervention, and that there is nothing outside of that freedom from government intervention included in the right. A private entity can, in that view, violate the right only when it acts as an, de facto or de jure, agent of the state.

It is not a bait-and-switch to hold a different view of “free speech” than your idiosyncratic one.

So I've been studying Unger for about four years now through my political activism. He is verbose in his language but once you get used to it you can see his brilliance.

His core arguments on the KE are as follows:

- It is creating a schism in the American workforce, and those on the outside lack access to the necessary educational institutions to ever catch up.

- Our IP laws are stagnating our economic development by keeping it isolated to a handful of companies in each industry vertical. Compared to our past this prevents transitioning to an entirely new mode of production. Compare that to history - if you wanted to open a loom factory during the industrial rev. you had access to the loom tech. Not the case today. There's also no shortcut like there was in the past. E.g. Put a farmer in a factory assembly line is NBD. Put a plant worker behind a laptop and ask him to write a script? Not happening.

--- Platform companies only have their dominion because an IP loophole states the individual's data is not their property. We make our data our property and companies like FB/Google struggle to retain their power.

- It's a form of work that utilizes the greatest human power, imagination.

- Under the right political structures this form of work ushers in a new human era. Under the current it stagnates our potential.

Happy to answer specifics if anyone has any questions about his work/perspective.
This might be biased on my part but experiences like this is why I tend to openly avoid most Red Hat projects in general. There are definitely some great projects like RHEL, Ansible that are nice to work with.

Even professionally, I tend to steer clear of immature Red Hat projects.

We evaluated Keycloak but went with a vendor solution. OpenShift I believe was also evaluated at my firm and hit a dead-end.
Could you expand on the "baseline talent"? This isn't the sort of hand-eye coordination that would be required to hit a major-league fastball, is it? (Somehow those employers are able to fulfill their skilled-labor needs.) How would an individual welder determine whether she has the talent that would make those years of practice worthwhile? If that is not possible, why don't interested organizations set up some testing programs?
Nuclear power plants are insanely complex. It’s just a massive water boiler. The problem is that all that steam and water is radioactive. So you have to design in all these reinforcements to ensure that the steam and liquids do not leak out.

It’s easy to say that your design is airtight, but the reality is far different, with the laws of entropy taking over after decades of operation. This is when your parts starts to fail. Seals starts to leak. Things just wear out and fall apart.

This is why the thing is so complex.

Then, you have to deal with the radioactive waste byproduct which lasts for 10,000+ years. How do you even deal with this, when no government in human history has lasted longer than a few hundred years.

As much as nuclear is a necessary evil to maintain baseload, since solar and wind doesn’t always function, I think we need a new energy paradigm.

I’m thinking we need to go with solar space power generation, and beam the energy down via microwave or laser. Maybe laser is a good candidate. Beam the laser down, and collect it with photovoltaics. And the laser can run 24/7, even at night.

Asking a friend: Maybe someone can run the efficiency numbers on this. But even if it’s less efficient than nuclear, this is probably far safer than nuclear ever will be.
> I am of the 80 percent of people who get decent health coverage via my employer

Fact Check:

> I've tried to say these sorts of views on reddit, but just get called a troll or a liar.

I think it would help if you didn't start by saying that 80 percent of people have employer coverage, decent or otherwise. Because it's both false and easy to check.
Not sure about how things are in the States but around my neck of the woods (Eastern European country and EU member) in order to win enterprise&government contracts you need contacts, lots of them, actively maintained. Microsoft is by far the best at this, they've been at this game for what, 20, 30 years? That's why Azure has bigger numbers than GCP and it's the only one capable of confronting AWS head-on (AWS which is winning merely on technical merits, at least for now).

My gf works for a Microsoft cloud re-seller (among other things) and I've recently asked her if GCP has ever come into the conversation when it came to their clients (clients among which are a few government entities), her answer was "never", followed by a quick laugh, as in "who would even ask such a thing?" Google and its cloud offering is missing in action around here big time, and I have a feeling the same situation happens in other European countries. They still have this mistaken belief that people will come to them hat in hand just because they're Google, but when it comes to the cloud market that has never been the case.

You're trying to argue that the solar market in 2020 looks the same as it did in the 1970s? Seriously? When the cost of solar PV has dropped 70% just in the last decade alone...?

https://www.lazard.com/media/451447/grphx_lcoe-09-09.jpg

I can't even find LCOE figures that far back, but the cost of solar modules in 1975 was just over $100 a watt. Today, a solar panel can cost as little as $0.50/W

Citation: https://news.energysage.com/the-history-and-invention-of-sol...

That's literally a TWO HUNDREDFOLD decrease in price, and modern panels last longer. This is like arguing that computers are useless in 2020 because in the 70s they were not very powerful.

> If batteries actually get cheap then we can do 2x wind+battery, but that isn't here today

Battery storage costs have already dropped 75% over the last 6 years, and we're pretty close to making that possible:
https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/report-levelize...

In the field, people bidding on energy projects are doing mixed solar+storage and wind+storage at prices comparable to nuclear or lower. Today. With 2020 tech and 2020 pricing, not 2025, not 2030. Granted, these aren't including a lot of storage right now (1-4 hours generally) but as battery prices continue to drop that will increase.

Given how costs are dropping as the technologies scale up, in 2025 people won't even think twice before choosing renewables+storage over nuclear, because it'll be a no-brainer.

> What we have today are nuke plants, just like we did 40 years ago.

Yes, that's the problem. Nuke plants plants have advanced technologically in the last 40 years, but in terms of cost they're actually more expensive because we found more failure modes (and need to prevent them).

And this is disappointing because I worked in nuclear physics for a few years and really wanted to believe that nuclear energy was going to save us... and it catastrophically failed to deliver.
So you see people as being free to infect others but not free to not be infected. And you see that as "individual rights".

Now, if you're arguing that people shouldn't be forced to be vaccinated, I agree with you. But you could make the same argument that people shouldn't be forced to wear masks, and I'd say "then don't allow them into the store".
I usually do this by recording short Loom videos every once in a while during the course of a project. It's really fast to do and lets people follow along on progress. Combining video and voice makes it much easier for your message to come across.

Example of a recent frontend demo: https://www.loom.com/share/09cf1b75cfcc423bad9f2587a2e35933

The nature of my work is often visual, which can be helpful for demos. But I've also seen video recordings of backend dashboards and logs work as long as you explain what's important.
What's a Mill? A supposedly modernized CPU architecture that failed?
Plenty of people only have 2-4GB of RAM, and Slack eating up 360MB along with a couple other bloated apps and some God-foresaken autoplaying video ad can easily start requiring swapping and slow a computer to a crawl.

Sure, people could spend more money to mostly sidestep the issue (supposing they didn't have any workloads which actually benefited from all available RAM), but that doesn't make it a non-issue.
Optimizing an application is better than adding servers, because it's faster for any one user, not just scaling better.

> optimizing your app to fulfill a request in 1/10 the time is like adding 9 servers to a cluster.

Not if the request executes on one server. Because then it's like saying that optimizing baby gestation to take place in one month is like adding 8 uteri.

Many, many religions find pro-LGBT to be morally wrong.

Even evolutionary, everything that doesnt create more kids is useless.

But we, as a western society usually stand by the rights to let adults do whatever they want (consentually), and don't care about it, if it doesnt affect us directly.

And what does 'morally' even mean?

We, as a western society, support kids seeing and sucking on boobs, until they're 1yo or 2 (or whatever), then for the next 10-12 years we hide (images of, and real) boobs from them, as if they were radioactive, and they don't know why, then they (approximately half of them) want to look at (real and images of) boobs, but we find that "wrong", a few years later we legally let them pay to see boobs (or find them online for free), and somewhere in the meantime, start bothering then, when are they going to find someone with boobs. Meanwhile mens boobs are ok.

In some other cultures, women of all ages don't even cover their boobs in public.

So basically something, that is a normal everyday thing in some cultures, for people of all ages, becomes morally wrong in our culture, and we censor it online, we also lock up people if those boobs are owned by a person younger than some arbitrary age, and even have wikipedia pages about that ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_XXXVIII_halftime_sh... ).

So basically, for some other culture, what we do is morally wrong, but we, as a majority, get to ignore their morality and impose our own (even if it's stupid).

TLDR: we (as a group) support social networks deleting photos of female nipples, because showing and seeing those is morally wrong in our culture, even though it's an issue that affects a lot more people than LGBT stuff.
