As someone who's just written about the "small web" [1], this warms my heart. The lite version is probably a little too bare-bones for most people's tastes, but it sure is tiny -- great for people on very slow or flakey connections. Some numbers:

HTML homepage transfers 34KB (94KB uncompressed) over 6 requests. HTML search results page transfers 133KB (248KB uncompressed) over 31 requests.

Lite homepage transfers 13KB (11KB uncompressed, ha) over 4 requests. Lite search results page transfers 21KB (43KB uncompressed) over 5 requests.

In all cases, all requests are to *.duckduckgo.com, which was very good to see from a privacy perspective. Nice work, DDG!

Plenty of modern Christians believe the Law of Moses was superseded by Christ. Acts 15 even has a list of the parts of the law that the apostles told members of the church that they were still expected to follow, but even this isn't straightforward thanks to stuff like Paul's comments on eating food offered to idols.
Stallman is right but also he betrays his liberal leanings in that he accepts that it is okay for private profit makers to exploit whatever resources you produce. If licenses were only useful for personal, school, or research without a specific license from the publisher, that's not the end of the world and comports with the value system of the publisher. Removing the means of production from the marketplace is an anarchist/socialist idea.

However, for something as fundamental as an operating system (so long as it is a commodity), it does make sense to have a liberalized base of restrictions on use.

Injecting social justice politics is fine. Politics are present everywhere. People should express their opinions and live their lives in accordance with them. The US in particular has an obsession with pretending there is such a thing as apolitical when it comes to economic activity.

How many actual deaths are a result of nuke accidents?

Depending on how you count its possible more people died in a single airplane crashes than have died in all the nuke related energy production incidents, ever.

If you want to include ground based deaths 911 was close to 3k people dead.
Which should help you understand my perspective better. I don’t agree that Borland “had very little except "me too" products“ just because another product in the same category existed first. Lotus 1-2-3 was essentially a clone of VisiCalc on the IBM PC but it was also its own thing.
The reason why I find this logic faulty is that none of the "known defects" were sufficient to shut down the plant. It's not a question of bureaucracy -- rather, the bureaucrats are on the other side. To cover their asses, they issue constant statements of imminent danger, and since those dangers never manifest, nobody believes them anymore.

If anyone took the warnings seriously the plant would have been shut down ages ago. And that's the problem with tail disasters -- they happen so infrequently that the system is assumed to be redundant to all of them, so even a "failure" as predicted would be met by a failsafe.

That's why I personally have turned against nuclear power. It's too complicated and the risks live out on the tail, and they are large (though not "fat" in the Taleb sense -- they're still bounded geographically).
"Batteries are easy to mass-produce."

> show me the average percent of a person's income required to secure a roof over your head in Pakistan

Very high. Avg US person spends 6.4% on food, while avg Pakistani spends 40%+. [1]

> We could also talk about the difference in availability of childcare in Pakistan, or any country where strong family ties

This is my point. People in the wealthy countries are way more focused on their careers and consumption (no negative implied). It's not that people can't have more childcare by, say, earlier retirement or one parent dedicating themself to babysitting at the expense of the lower living standards.

> We would also have to consider that in many high-income countries it is literally illegal to live below a certain standard of living without running the risk of having your children taken from you by the state.

Relevant maybe for lower few percents in the West, while you are talking about "young people" in general.

It is not a problem with the statement itself, more with the quantum physics.

Besides, you seem to have incorrect assumption, that quantum physics has any sort of "reality" problem, likely referring to collapse thing, which is not even a problem in quantum field theory. Just an attempt to square field interaction into "understandable" interpretation with particles.

Depends on the domain but in general it relies on item responses that people in general tend to think are typical of some "condition" (in a broad sense of the term) but actually are not. This requires a lot of data collection usually.

So, for example, items that people tend to think would be incorrectly responded to by people with dementia, but are actually easy for people with dementia to respond to. Or items that sound like they'd be endorsed by people with severe mental illness but are not.

In more sophisticated implementations, it's not just responses to these types of items, but multivariate patterns of responses that are unusual that are flagged. So, for example, not getting items increasingly incorrect with increasing difficulty (i.e., getting easy items incorrect and hard items correct) might be flagged, just for one example.

Specific examples are hard to list because (a) it would violate test copyright and/or other ethical issues, and (b) are sort of idiosyncratic and require actual data on the items.

With cognitive testing for example, lots of times certain types of memory are intact in severe brain injury but people who are faking don't realize it.

Similar where I work. A male colleague has taken a couple paternity leaves in the last few years and he said he just spent the time working on side projects and watching TV.

He did spend some time caring for his new children but if his case is representative then, for a male, having a child is like getting extra paid time off which is not fair to people who may not use paternity leave.

Show HN: LinkWall – Your Landing Page Linked to Social Activity
This is what the fall of an empire looks like. If you’re bearish on this being a Chinese century, ponder where this unchecked neo-McCarthyism leads to.
Also the ridiculous User-Agent header which everyone spoofs.
Hello everyone!

The idea of LinkWall (https://linkwall.me) came when one of my friends asked me to build a social media aggregator for his webpage. I often have to check multiple social accounts of the same person to keep updated on its latest posts. Therefore, I decided to build a platform where people create their webpage, add links to their favourite content, and stream their social activity automatically.

You can embed tweets for now, but Facebook and Instagram posts will be available soon. In the meanwhile, you can link to any content from your LinkWall, including all your social accounts, blog links, songs, etc. Just create a new button that leads to what your followers need to see. Analytics will give you insights into how people discover your content.

I plan to add more widgets in the following weeks. Youtube, HN and GitHub integrations are on my list, but I would love to hear what else you want to display. Your feedback and suggestions will shape this project to cover all you need to build an amazing personal webpage from scratch in just a few minutes. There should be only one link to someone's content, not 10!

Please look at the example page (https://linkwall.me/example) to see what you can build, and give it a try. Whether you like or dislike it, contact me in the live chat (or comment here) and let me know how to improve LinkWall for you. I can't wait to see what you think!

If you feel like sharing your webpage with others, I am happy to change the example page with yours for some time. :)
The thing seems a bit silly.

Curious what was offensive I found the books are on youtube and I'm guessing it's drawing Chinese https://youtu.be/Vl6wD6EGOVk?t=228 and tribal Africans https://youtu.be/Vl6wD6EGOVk?t=519 looking like cartoon versions of those. Does this means cartoon caricatures are only acceptable if they are of white westerners?

I mean I can understand the publishers thinking they may get in trouble and it's easier to drop those lines but the thing seems to be getting a bit out of hand.

1. Who would pass and enforce such a ban? Local governments are self interested and want more jobs, because it makes politicians look good and jobs require minimal additional services while providing lots of tax money. (See: Bay Area) State has same issues. Feds don't have the rights to do so, and good luck passing that kind of legislation anyways.

2. With the decline of the inner city during the midcentury we already saw what this looked like. It mostly resulted in jobs moving to the suburbs of established big cities, not decentralization of jobs into totally different regions.
Are there some details on whats wrong with these?
> Even if the heat was free it would be hard for a steam turbine based power plant to compete with gas turbines.

This isn't true. People started attaching steam turbines to gas plants precisely because it made economic sense to tap into waste heat for co-generation.

Nobody expects nuclear to compete against fossil fuels. But fossil fuels release carbon. Nuclear is necessary because it's the only consistent form of carbon-free energy production save for geographically dependent solutions like hydroelectricity and geothermal power.

> Nuclear power is not going to get out of it's funk unless it has a cost story that looks good when everything goes right -- which is not the case with the LWR.

True. One solution is to attach a cost to account for the impact of climate change caused by burning fossil fuels. Then nuclear will be competitive with fossil fuels. And competitive against intermittent sources since those require fossil fuels as a backup, at least until some feasible form of grid-scale storage is developed.

As for "much" greater efficiency, I don't think so unless you are comparing to an induction motor running at very low load (efficiency drops off more than for SRM). I don't know how much of their time e.g. typical HVAC motors spend at such a low load in the real world.

What if your preferred solution doesnt curtail the raise in temperatures fast enough and renders large parts of earth inhabitable for future generations?

there is no perfect solution, i understand the risk associated with nuclear power but i think the smartest minds thinking deeply about the climate space all basically agree that there is no solution to fighting climate change that doesnt include nuclear. we should be sinking lots of money into reducing the risks and coming up with innovative ways to make it ubiquitous
This isn't really true. First, what's considered "big enough to raise a family in" has doubled since the 1950s-1970s. I grew up in an 1,100 square foot house built in the 1950s. The starter homes around us are double that size.

Also, as the U.S. grows, the "frontiers" obviously shift. Since 1970, the U.S. has grown from 205 million to 330 million, and the number of people per house has gone down significantly. Back when it was built in the 1950s, the house I grew up in was in a new development in a boring suburb of D.C--itself a boring city with mainly GS-scale government jobs. Now, with all the tech jobs in the D.C. area, it's become a more desirable, upscale place.

What used to be the boring, middle-class suburb is now somewhere around Kansas City, MO or Greensboro, NC. Houses in those places are just as affordable as the houses you grew up in. In fact, when you account for growing house size and falling interest rates, they are more affordable: https://donsnotes.com/financial/real-estate.html

That's not a promise to send any help or to help militarily.

It just says that if Ukraine is nuked (quite an extreme scenario to start with) they'll ask the Security Council (where Russia has a veto) to do something about it. You can argue that this constitutes a promise to 'help', but frankly sending a "get well soon" card would be more helpful.

Hence my first comment: The US and the West do not want to be forced to intervene and thus they never made any promise, binding or otherwise, to.

The UN did vote a resolution on Ukraine and Crimea in 2014.

As I also wrote, it is Russia that breached the memorandum but not respecting Ukraine's borders as they were but, tough.
It would be nice if the error messages generated would suggest replacement functions that they deem appropriate. I see that I'm not supposed to use gmtime, localtime, ctime, ctime_r, asctime, and asctime_r; but what do they think I should use?
All the string functions have buffer overrun vulnerabilities if not used carefully. I'm not sure about the time functions though.

>There's nothing inherent in evolution that guarantees that it will find all, or even "the best" solutions that can exist in that landscape.

Yes this is true. But if life persists it demonstrates that a solution that works has been found. Because of time, energy constraints the best solution to an abstract objective function may not not be the optimal real world result. Over successive generations, however evolution will tend toward a better solution to for the problems that life faces. If AI researchers do not simulate the evolutionary process of life then they need to come up with a better heuristic for finding solutions than evolution. So far general intelligence, in humans and animals has only been demonstrated as a result of the evolutionary process and learning using evolved brain structures during life.

As far as I know we have found some good approaches for pattern matching and even problems solving in constrained domains like GO but nobody has yet simulated a general intelligence with a computer model. I argue that is because nobody has modelled a living biological agent yet to a sufficient degree of fidelity.

PS. Jet aircraft are very inefficient from an evolutionary perspective.

I agree that we still don't totally know what happened 2000–2020, but e.g. the Eddington eclipse proof of relativity was 1919 and Einstein became an international celebrity around then.

I think I am underrated some math discoveries since it's not an area I follow, e.g. the Poincaré conjecture proof is probably a big deal. On the other hand, when did Poincaré make his conjecture? 1900. So in a certain sense, we are backfilling a known gap.

And this is why discussing modes is important. The examples are insecure because they are using CBC mode incorrectly.
