Hey HN! I made this extension to deal with the headache of working on multiple regions at a time in the AWS Console.

Honestly it has helped me out so so much. Hope it might help some of you as well :)
We regulated the industry so much that we made nuclear plants almost entirely economically unviable.

Some of the regulations are good, some are bad - and a lot were born out of irrational fears about an immature industry that we didn't fully understand at the time.

There is no reason a nuclear plant cannot be economically viable. They're all over Europe, Japan, Russia, China and I'm sure other countries as well.
I switched to Apple's ecosystem in 2017, I would say it is definitely more reliable than alternatives. Less freedom but also way less crashes or issues. And that is one of the reason that I am sticking with it.
As is, I'm feeding power and my Tbolt display on one side, and use the side facing me to (occasionally) juice up my keyboard or iPad.

I'm not really interested in juggling plugs during the day.
I think you miss my point. Even if online advertising (as well as marketing, but that's a different concept) was completely worthless, the number of paid dollars would not go up, and the "total GDP" of the internet would go down.

If that's a desired future we should be honest about it, but it's a future without as many independent journalists who can't afford a team to sell their content, for example.
Bari Weiss isn't being entirely honest. The fact of the matter is that many people are free to speak their minds but with the modern Internet many more are free to reply and their responses are just the same as there before that time. And I focus on the Internet here because most of Bari's tripe originated on Twitter. She wasn't very happy that Weird Twitter and company heckled her there, so she ran off to write hit pieces on "Cancel Culture" as if anyone with some understanding of how the Internet works wouldn't notice. The sad thing is that the media being accustomed to a passive/mute audience loves this narrative. It casts all hecklers as cartoon/melodrama villains that deserve to be forced into silence while the plucky hot-taker gets to spew whatever nonsense opinion free of comment on the unmoderated (relatively) Internet and other online social spaces.

The reality is that there isn't a massive change in how people speak their minds other than people are becoming aware of how permanent some things are when it comes to the Internet so they're being tighter lipped as employers, would be "lolcow milkers", and assorted jerks will always be on the look out to be outraged by something. Ironically, she feeds into this cycle with manufactured outrage at hecklers. It's like trying to cast Statler and Waldorf as murderers when all they do is poke fun at mishaps and nonsense. Simply put, Bari doesn't like being heckled and demands the Internet be a passive domain for content generators much like cable TV and print media. Too bad for her, that's not baked into the design.
People do want to have kids, but the physical process of going through pregnancy and birth is brutal and dangerous. The people who have to do it quite rationally don't want to do it four times in the same decade once they have any other choice, even if it would be socially optimal. The best thing we can do at this point is develop the technology to create babies outside of human wombs.
The difference in capabilities is also massive. With VISA you need also a good standing with the Uncle. With bitcoin nobody can stop the transaction.
I don't think they meant that there should be One True Open-Source License but rather that open-source projects should pick one of the 'standard' ones (GPL, MIT, etc.) instead of writing their own.
I think that the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission is world-leading. They identify problems proactively and require operators to phase in safety upgrades even for plants built 50 years ago. I live near an operating nuclear reactor and I prefer it over any form of fossil plant. Power reactors operating in the United States are reliable, safe, and have extremely low life cycle emissions of greenhouse gases.

Unfortunately, one of the most common refrains from nuclear boosters is that nuclear power is over-regulated. I don't want American nuclear plants held to the same lax safety/environmental standards as fossil plants. If we used taxes to internalize the costs of pollution from fossil-fired plants, low cost natural gas plants probably wouldn't be pushing reactors into early retirement. But leveling the playing field by slashing nuclear safety/inspection down to the low standard expected of fossil plants is the wrong way to go.

I am open to specific proposals for reducing regulations in the nuclear sector if there are regulations that impose additional process overhead, don't actually serve a purpose, and survive only from inertia. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that there are some of these. But I've been discussing nuclear power for 20+ years, starting back on Usenet, and specific proposals are much less common than generic "get rid of red tape" bluster.
There was a long list of engineering failures at Fukushima. The idea with airplanes is not "design this component so it cannot fail" but "design the system so it can tolerate component failure". Fukushima had a list of failures it could not tolerate.

You mentioned one, the vulnerability of the backup power to the seawall being overtopped. The generators could have been put on a raised platform. There were others:

1. the hydrogen was vented into an enclosed space

2. no way to add water to the cooling system with a gravity fed device

3. critical machinery should not be located in the reactor core building

4. no way to bring in electric power from elsewhere
I don't want to sound like an extremist but this is what happens when everything in life is mercantilised. Money becomes king.
Becaues the Education system in America is designed to be gamed at all levels, from students to teachers to school board admins, not for anyone to actually be given life-enriching value.

Luckily seems that the site supports reader view for people with your type of preferences.
I hear people saying these kinds of things all the time, but I've never gotten any concrete evidence except "they choose what things to report and leave out things we think are relevant". Ok, that's everyone, you only have so much time/space. I might agree with you for Fox TV, and news in general has had an element of sensationalism from the beginning (who wants to read/watch boring stuff?), but aside from that, what are some examples of deception and servility to power? Where would one go to determine if your accusations are true? And no right-wing / conspiracy sites, please.

Frankly, it seems to me that the only reason your comment is not be libel is simply because you didn't name any specific organization.
It is so fast and clean, I just set it as my duck keyworded search. I'm not on a search engine for the looks, but for the results. The faster I get them and the fewer things there are to distract the eye, the better for me.
Apple has clarified what happened:

https://9to5mac.com/2021/03/03/apple-card-apple-id-unrelated...

From their statement:

"The issue in question involved a restriction on the customer’s Apple ID that disabled App Store and iTunes purchases and subscription services, excluding iCloud. Apple provided an instant credit for the purchase of a new MacBook Pro, and as part of that agreement, the customer was to return their current unit to us. No matter what payment method was used, the ability to transact on the associated Apple ID was disabled because Apple could not collect funds. This is entirely unrelated to Apple Card."
Does rclone[1] interface with iCloud Photos ? It works just fine with google photos[2] ...

Without installing rclone and without using any of your own bandwidth, you should be able to:

ssh user@rsync.net rclone icloud:/blah gphotos:/blah

Or maybe you just want to keep a copy in your rsync.net account:

ssh user@rsync.net rclone icloud:/blah /your/dir/tree

If your goal is faster security updates you need bugfix releases, not faster major releases.
Capitol security?
If you suppress any knee jerk reaction you might have against religious associations in the preamble, the actual restrictions in the “Permitted Uses” section seem fairly reasonable to me, if not with more moral restrictions than usual:

https://github.com/katharostech/ldtk-rs/blob/master/LICENSE....

Most OSes have a license restricting use in nuclear power plants. This license adds similar restrictions like “cannot use in adtech”. :)
Quantitative easing doesn't generally cause inflation in my opinion. All it does is increases bank reserves which is why 10 years into endless qe, inflation is very muted.

The reason they are finally expecting inflation now is that they are going into policy measures on the fiscal side that actually enter the real economy, not just qe. Imo one dollar of fiscal expenditure has the power of at least $10 of qe if not actually more like an infinite multiplier in the case that qe does literally nothing.

If you are interested I. This kind of stuff search YouTube for Jeff snider or Lacy Hunt. Both of them are really fascinating to listen to and have a strong conviction that qe is totally ineffective.

The message is don’t use 1940s physics understanding, 1950s design, 1960s construction to build a reactor that is then run for about 50 years and and expect to continue to avoid problems with it.
> nuclear plants run by for profit organisations, where cutting corners will at some level be appreciated to ensure the bottom line

How does that explain the inept handling of Chernobyl?
The problem if nuclear power is that technology progress has slowed to almost 0 and we are still operating with 60s technology.

In the 60s we built many, many test reactors and it was clear that nuclear power had huge potential to revolutionize the world.

This is still true, the energy density inherent in nuclear power can transform lots of industries. But unfortunately the regulatory structure built around nuclear material and nuclear deployment is almost impossible to manage.

This is partly simply to do with how restrictive the access to the material itself. Forms of regulation that make it almost impossible to do any kind of iterations, you can't even do a small scale test reactor in a practical way.

Look at how SpaceX is building Starship. That's how you get revolutionary technology. Not by sitting around for 10-15 years to maybe one day directly building a full scale reactor (that you then have to scale).

A fundamental shift in how to think about the potential of nuclear needs to be done. The regulatory structures have to be fundamentally redesigned in pretty much every aspect.

The DoE has admitted some of the issues but trying to rationalise the regulation but its like relocating an asteroid.

Good regulation will not suddenly make 60s technology competitive today, we need to rethink the process from innovation to operation in a new way.
It is possible yes. The process is definitely grueling from what I’ve heard (many interviews, lots of documents to furnish, lots of luck) but it is doable.

> See construction for example, you don't see women in construction.

Three of my close friends are women in the construction industry and my cousin is a car mechanic. My best friend who is male works as a secretary and my uncle is a nurse.

People will works on things that passionate them when they have the freedom to do so. There is no such thing as a gendered job.

I am familiar with the gender equality paradox and personally believe that it's causes are socioeconomic and not about "not having the stress" to "emulate men". Especially since Nordic countries have a higher percentage of women in parliament which I would argue is "traditionally" a man's role.
ublock seems to bypass that as well... as others have noted.
It would be a bad idea to name your next tech company "Stripe" (or your next restaurant, for that matter; ew.)
I'm intrigued by the idea that users will be able to solve this problem on the client side. Perhaps not on the underlying data directly, but running an adversarial browser agent clicking its way purposefully through the internet, in a tab you never look at.
Is there an answer you're expecting?
They have to do it by law (GDPR) if they want to sell their products in the EU. People should start making complaints that they cannot port their data to other services, then they should implement that in no time.
The "except when required to protect public safety" clause renders that section inoperative because every political movement, army, and police force that uses violence will always characterize it as defensive and necessary no matter how obscene and criminal it is. That said, defensive struggle is a real thing, but difficult to enforce via license or even via Article II of the UN Charter.
Ask HN: Has comcast / xfinity shared access to their customer database?
A family member was playing a video game and a modder in the game that could see client IP's was reading out everyone's home street address in detail if they were on Comcast. For anyone not on Comcast, they only had the state which makes sense as you can get that easily without inside ISP information. Is there a public API that Comcast provides to external entities to look up home addresses by IP? This is not in whois. Whois of course maps to their HQ in NJ.

Could a Comcast employee be abusing their access? How many Comcast employees have access to that information? Does Comcast audit who pulls up this information? Have their been any recent public dumps of their customer information? I've only had my current IP for a month or so.

Why?

There are times when a baby just wants mom and nobody else will do. But there also also times when a baby just wants dad (or grandma/grandpa/nanny/other caregiver) and nobody else will do. Babies are just weird sometimes.

Other than those specific cases, calming a baby is mostly a matter of your skill and being lucky with your baby's temperament.
while the comment you're replying to didn't make a distinction, i'll make the distinction that that was a nuclear weapons production facility (run by the federal government). further, some of it was constructed during WWII for the manhattan project.

so... not great handling, true. strong evidence about how nuclear power plants will be operated in the future? no.
Can you enlighten me with a better currently existing alternative to 24/7 baseload power?
Here's hoping that we'll soon be able to port FFmpeg in its entirety to WASM + WebGPU.
Large model capacity enough to perfectly memorize/interpolate data may not be a bad thing. A phenomenon known as "deep double descent" says that increasing modeling capacity relative to the dataset size can reduce generalization error, even after the model achieves perfect training performance (see work by Mikhail Belkin [0] and empirical demonstrations on large deep learning tasks by researchers from Harvard/OpenAI [1]). Other work argues that memorization is critical to good performance on real-world tasks where the data distribution is often long-tailed [2]: to perform well at tasks where the training data set only has 1 or 2 examples, it's best to memorize those labels, rather than extrapolate from other data (which a lower capacity model may prefer to do).

Social media is a perfect example of where this is used. I know countless people that are literally addicted to it. They want to see every new update continuously and the social media apps are designed to do this through notifications.

I saw this clear as day when I was at jury duty. We were waiting for the court to get back into session. There was a girl sitting next to me on the bench and I noticed about every 5 minutes she would open up her phone and go through her routine. First pull up facebook, scroll through it. Close the app then pull up instragram, scroll through. She did this consistently for the entire 2 hours we were sitting there (the court was delayed). If that isn't addiction, I don't know what is.

Then look at all the mental health problems young people are having these days - bullying, depression, suicide etc. and I would say a big part of that is influenced by social media. People see other people living the "good life" and they get depressed because they can't have the same. Young women see "pretty" women on Instagram and they know they can never compete with that, so their self esteem drops to nothing. Then you have all the bullying that goes on as well. Completely toxic environment.

Social media is the cigarette of our generation.
Could you please elaborate on that? Which particular law are they abiding?

The NRC does not regulate defense nuclear facilities.
gah.

I nuclear has a place. Nuclear generates energy and lots of it.

Take a look at this table and check out uranium:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_density#List_of_materia...

The thing is, just like we are developing solar, we have to develop nuclear. We should drive the cost down, and safety up.

Boiling water reactors are very expensive, in the same way solar power was in the Jimmy Carter era:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cell#/media/File:Price_h...

We should be working on stable reactors, safe ones that don't need active intervention to shut down, and work to make them available.

By all means we should also work on solar and wind, but we should keep nuclear active.

We should be working to have MORE CO2 free power, of different kinds, that will work during a variety of conditions.
Also from my understanding the earthquake wasn't really much of an issue for most of Japan. It was the tsunami that we don't yet have good protections against.

Why do humans of the 21st century love building delicate structures on the shoreline at sea level? Historical civilizations generally avoided building on the coast, very likely for good reasons, both for disaster resistance and for military reasons. Most ancient cities of the world are not located on the oceanside, but rather along inland rivers or smaller bodies of water, or at least within some safe distance of the coast.

Recent modern cities seem to love building on the coast -- New York, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Singapore, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Dubai -- all these had relatively little history or at least were nothing more than small towns until the past couple hundred years, and are all terrible places to build a city in terms of tsunami resistance.
Light water reactors are not the only option for nuclear power. CANDU reactors have a wonderful safety record. MSRs are on the brink of becoming commercially viable and have been for a long time, but funding is currently insufficient. Funding is insufficient largely because light water and heavy water (like CANDU and derivatives) plants are already researched on the one hand and light water reactors have created negative sentiment for all things nuclear on the other.

Would I like nuclear power that fails safe and doesn't produce bomb material? Absolutely. Would I live next door to a molten thorium salt reactor? I'd love to. Do I want to see new light water reactors built anywhere in the world? No.

What does the Facebook get out of it?
Well how much people need to live is highly variable and not very informative. If you get diagnosed with cancer and your medical expenses go through the roof but you're still making the same income, have you become underemployed? No, there isn't a problem with the job market here, there is a problem with healthcare costs.

On the other hand if you were making $200k last year and now you can't find a job that'll pay you more than $100k, you'll still be able to afford the necessities of life as well as quite a few luxuries, but that's still an immense reduction in economic output which suggests deep issues with the job market.

Underemployment is a measure of labor utilization. What you're describing is poverty, which is related but not equivalent.
My wife and I say “I back heard you”. it’s kind of a funny in-joke for us because of the quasi non-sense word.

I use similar techniques (plus muscle memory, visual, etc.) as a short term memory scratch pad - especially when highly sleep deprived.
The difference being that the US already has companies with experts and institutional knowledge. The fact that China lacks those things is a function of the pace at which it is trying to grow its semiconductor sector. The fact that China is able to collimate spending far better than the US is a function of how bad the US government is at sending money where it needs to go rather than to the Department of Defense.
It's just a little a lot tone deaf to talk about Musk's 'sacrifices' when so much of the US and the world is going through acute material crises. Sure you can still suffer when you're wealthy. But also dude could just up and go to the bahamas for the rest of his life no problem. Most of us don't have that choice.
HTML had been a standard for about 25 years and it doesn't seem to be stagnant.
"approximately equal"

Right, because of basic modern medical care, which hunter gatherers don't have, often dying of problems with their teeth in their 20s, untreated infections, etc.

And that's only one of a deluge of reasons as to why hunter gatherer life was much more difficult than modern life, even modern life in relatively poor countries.

We can have a debate about whether life is easier in current South Sudan versus prehistory hunter gatherer tribes. Beyond that there's no debate to be had.
