As a designer that used to make pixel perfect websites turned developer, CSS lets me offload so much of what I need in building UIs and keeps my templates/JSX as close to data representation as possible. With my components having tightly scoped CSS, the only CSS I share between my components is very universal branding settings. My class names make sense and my SCSS reads like the DOM, and the only non unique dom-selector class name is the 'active' state.

I loathe having to deal with so much layout building classes in my dom, having to swap them for responsive layouts, etc. My css determines layouts. My html presents data. It keeps my javascript very focused on function.
I think the main point of that particular argument is that folks in the UK claimed that "they came first" while EU reps said "doesn't matter who came first, what matters is what the contracts say". (I tend to agree with the latter)

There's some minor amount of irony if the UK contract really was a day later than the EU's (in a 3 year old screaming "gotcha" kind of way), but it still shouldn't change a thing about who gets how many vaccines at which point in time.

In the end it seems to boil down to AZ not meeting the numbers they promised and having to cut corners _somewhere_, and the EU doesn't want to be the one bearing the load - at least not alone: other vaccine suppliers cut down deliveries due to production issues as well (e.g. biontech/pfizer, also due to retooling a Belgian factory), but they split it across the board and apparently handled that transparently with all customers. What goes around comes around, and so that was a pretty painless experience for all involved.

With AZ there was the additional complication that the company is part British (and it's generally presented as a British company only) and those contractual disagreements happened in parallel to those other contractual disagreements between the EU and Brits about shipping goods, so there was already a higher base temperature in the public discussion of the AZ delivery schedule.
That doesn't make sense. If you feel pressure by time, nuclear is and never was your solution. It takes too long to construct. By the time a single reactor is build, renewables will jump several development steps.

I'm not American, so I know nothing about the equal credit opportunity, sorry.

I also think that traditions in USA is used to mean inertia ("things have always been done that way" etc.), but US are a very bad country for female workers for reasons that go beyond traditions.

My country has its share of remarkable women, Miuccia Prada is one of them and she's still alive and well, Fabiola Giannotti is Italian and the first female director of CERN, Maria Montessori (1870) the inventor of the Montessori educational method was Italian,Grazia Deledda was the second woman in history to win a Nobel price in 1926 and the first Italian woman and the list could go on, the fact is that until not long ago men and women had different jobs because it was required by the job.

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

Traditionally, if we talk about the entire World, means since at least hominids have settled down and started farming.

Luckily things are changing, but there's still the question: do really women want that?

I'm not questioning their abilited here, but the idea that having the choice they would chose to be part of something that men have built in their image at their rules.

For example in Scandinavia where gender equality is higher than everywhere else in the western World, women are less keen to attend STEM faculties because they are too hard for too little reward. They can make more money working as lawyers or for the government, having also more time to do what they like, including spending it raising their kids and with their families. Once they reached equality (same opportunities) they started to chose because they don't have to prove anything to the others.

EDIT: if you think about it we Italians are usually laughed of because we live with our "mamma" and talk a lot about the "famiglia", we are " those lazy Italians" but that's the reason why being a housewife here it's not a stigma. Housewives are not rewarded enough in Italy, but being one it's not the end of your social life. On the contrary in USA (in particular) not working to death is frowned upon, free time is for the lazy people, "work hard and the American dream will come true", these are the kinds of " traditions " that make it impossible to be a woman, a mother and a successful business woman, to the point that paid maternity leave is not even a right!

Here in Italy, which is not the best country in the World about maternity policies, women have 5 mandatory months of paid maternity leave during which they can't be at work, it's mandatory that they abstein from it.
The period can be extended if the medical conditions require (or suggest) it.

Paradoxically younger generations that grew up on social media immersed in American culture, see things the same way and have a very hard time accepting that not being highly succesful at work (or in general) is not the end of the World and they also think that being an housewife is a failure.

full disclosure: there haven't been housewives in my family at least in the past three generations, so I am not saying it because I wish for women to stay home and take care of the kids.
that we have so many pro nuclear articles here on HN is remarkable to me, too. However, I come from Germany where the general sentiment is negative. I'd guess in the US (where probably most of HN users come from?!) the sentiment is more positive? I can't explain it any other way (well, lobbyism, astroturfing... okay, but I wouldn't go that far without evidence). What I miss in all these energy discussions is arguments about reducing the load or better managing the load (with flexible pricing etc.), especially since that could be very data driven which should align well with the HN crowd. And those discussions should come before we start even thinking about nuclear. Same argument as with recycling: the best garbage [energy] is the one which never was (reduce > recycle).

This is just the dumb/old kind of nuclear in which the reactors are operated at really high power which means they have to be actively cooled so that the fuel doesn't melt itself and cause release of radiation. The reason they run at really high power, is because they think it's cheaper to get more power out of the same reactor. But of course they have to build a bunch of emergency systems, themselves expensive, to make sure the reactor is actively cooled - and these inevitably fail at some point.

The alternative, pursued most prominently by new companies like (usnc.com) is to operate at much lower power density which means the reactor does not have to be cooled to prevent it from melting. It can just dissipate the small amount of heat without any active measures or expensive equipment. Making the economics work is the trick.

Well actually if you don't know about it, in France there is a ~500$ kind of ubi. It's not exactly universal as you have to be poor enough to get the money and the system is made with lots of incentives for people to get a job ASAP, but if you want to, you can easily live on those 500$/mo(+free healthcare) your entire life if you're off-grid enough). I understand that it's different, but it's the closest thing I've seen to UBI in a relatively big area.
There's lots of data about it :)
Thanks a lot. Coil looked like its own browser, and I didn't want yo use another browser. I was using a similar service in the past, but unsuscribed because most created I wanted to send money weren't receiving it.

In all fairness, there probably is some bias towards vision. More exactly, there is bias towards things that are easy to study. Vision and audition are easy to study because screens and speakers are widely available. Touch and proprioception are harder, but still common. Smell and taste are rare.

So your point is far from crazy. However, there is sufficient multi-modal evidence that I don't think our current theories of access consciousness are mere visual artifacts.

>> free sunlight and almost zero maintenance.

Try running a gigawatt's worth of solar panels attached to enough battery capacity to fill a small stadium. There is plenty of maintenance to be done. Nuclear and solar are really apples and oranges. They each have advantages and disadvantages. In a given time/place/need one will always be better than another but neither are superior always.
I was going to mention CANDU, basically the only exception to the above comment about running at too high power density.
This is only tangentially my field, so pure speculation.

I suppose it's possible that generalized minima are numerically more common than overfitted minima in an over-parameterized model, so probabilistically SGD will find a more general minima than not, regardless of regularization.

I wonder what the data looks like if you regress happiness onto age for single women.

I have no difficulty believing single, childless women are very happy in their 20s and 30s. I wonder though if that rapidly changes past 40.

I would hypothesize the same effect happens for men as well.
>Young able bodies that can get a job... are the original inflation proof investment.

Not quite sure that is true: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Mk1AG.jpg

>Also, kids are awesome.

If I am a dollar optimizer, the only thing I care about is money. How much can I sell "awesome" for? Can I skip a step and sell the children directly?
> The point I am making is that kind of gender bifurcation doesn't fit the mold that I (a cis-gendered, white man) fit so I find it less plausible that a less-represented person would match it either as my "group" [more accurate term requested] has largely set the social norms.

I don’t understand this conclusion at all. You just described a fairly standard situation, and then said trying to apply historical understandings of gender don’t work... and yet they fit perfectly within the story you provided.

To me the issue has always been allowing other to define success for you.

If you find success is being a high powered executive who spends 90hrs a week working, then do that, and don’t let someone else tell you that having kids is the only metric of success.

If your definition of success is raising children who are normal humans and can function in society and make it a better place, then do that; and don’t let anyone tell you that success can only be found in working and being valued at ever higher dollar amounts.

Your definition of success is exactly that: YOURS not anyone else’s and you shouldn’t take anyone else’s definition and try to apply it to yourself.

I think most of society’s current problems stem from everyone using some amorphous societal understanding of success that no one has defined, but thinks everyone else knows. You be your best as you understand that to be. That’s the only path to happiness. Trying to conform to some gender philosopher’s definition is a rabbit hole that leads no where good.
There is a lot of secret sauce in protocols. Those decisions can have serious positive/negative implications on performance and features. Making those easily available to everyone could potentially destroy a business.

Don't get me wrong, I've had to reverse engineer my share of proprietary protocols to get behavior I wanted (and would have loved to see them be open), but I don't think I can get onboard with the idea that requiring open protocols is trivial or noninvasive.
As with a 100, a 103 is tentative — it doesn't guarantee that the final result will be 2xx. This can happen if e.g. your web server is responsible for sending the early hints, before proxying to your app server.
The difference here is that you're talking about different people. People who don't want nuclear usually (always?) don't want coal too.
Some problems that Fukushima had: 1950s vintage design, active cooling system, backup power at sea level in a seismically active area. This kind of failure was not just predictable, it was predicted.

People travel to Japan from around the world to learn how to build earthquake resistant structures. Their nuclear engineers are top-notch. It was the bureaucracy that failed, not the talent.

In short, the problems were human not technical. People get complacent and greedy. They use every procedural tool they have to delay upgrades, maintenance, and improvement. I think that is at the core of most nuclear skepticism. Does anyone honestly think the United States has institutions sound enough to safely manage nuclear power over multiple decades? Or will they neglect basic maintenance and upgrades?
>inextricably entwined with the military and government prestige?

Is that a thing? For some reason when I think of nuclear accidents, I don't often think that "military and government prestige" were the biggest issues. Maybe Chernobyl was?
"Yes, get out of my sunlight." is one of the best quotes ever.
>The world has huge issues, sure, but it's still far better to be alive now than any time in human history. The only way the future could be worse is if this idea becomes mainstream and the prophecy self-fulfilling.

What if automation and outsourcing to cheaper countries leads to a widening income/wealth gap such that you're always scraping by and any hiccup along the way will cause you to have to start depending on very unreliable social safety nets?

I think people earning $20 an hour commuting 2 hours each day to work are capable of doing the calculations of figuring out they will probably never build wealth such that they don't have to worry about sacrificing a vacation if their kid breaks their arm or losing their job because their kid became sick and having no family around to help shoulder the burden.

People's wages didn't stagnate because the idea of a worse future became mainstream, wages stagnated because the supply and demand equation for labor shifted negatively for wage earners. People then started thinking about a worse future once they saw friends and family de railed by unexpected medical expenses, or laid off and never rehired at a comparable wage, etc.
Ehhh... the only conclusion I can see there is that more study is warranted. The sample was n=17, normal BMI children currently living in CA with parents who used Stanford for IVF. The control was several years older, and looking at the box plots there's substantial overlap in most measurements.
>This paper is just saying there are reasonably estimable costs. That's all!

Wrong. You make numerous comments in this thread asserting that the sole focus on this paper is quantifying externalities of crypto mining when that's plainly false. The paper is prescribing policy options for dealing with crypto externalities and birthing new loaded clinical terms to ascribe solely to those externalities: "cryptodamage". Read it.

"As an alternative to intervening in emergent cryptocurrency markets through prices (e.g., taxation) or outright restricting their development, there may be a role for government investment into R&D that
focuses on designing mining puzzles that greatly reduce energy consumption (and thus production costs) while still allowing for secure
validation of anonymous transactions. Fully vetting and encouraging
such currency alternatives might retain the libertarian social benefits of
the blockchain [35] while making “the last Bitcoin” irrelevant. Although there will still be private benefits captured from mining under
possible low-energy design alternatives, as illustrated here there would
be significant public good benefits (reduced cryptodamages) to justify
such government investments into R&D. Importantly, such investments
in R&D are not mutually exclusive with taxing to internalize cryptodamages, and may also come with the potential to generate spin-off
benefits from blockchain technology more generally."
A bit of cultural context on "996" even though most of my cousins in China don't work in tech, the context is useful.

The mandated retirement age is 60 over there so most of my aunts and uncles who have grandkids are primary childcare providers for my cousins. Due to the one child policy from a generation ago, each baby today has 6 adult caretakers, 2 of whom work full time (sometimes "996"), 4 of whom are retired and take shifts on childcare, household tasks, or ordering delivery / grocery shopping. Some of my cousins have opted for a second child, which means 4 60-ish caretakers for 2 kiddos. It's not too bad when there's good communication and teamwork between the adults, even though several of my cousins actually have never changed a diaper and I have no idea how they'll manage when it's their turn to be a grandparent in 20-30 years time.
This kind of strategy has never ever worked because the majority of the world's population just accepts whatever is thrown at them without questioning.
Ahh ok. I wondered because I spent a few years in India and many of my friends pronounced v words with w sounds.
Well, you can use C# with mono or use GDNative. Personally, I think most are better off just using GDScript and focusing on their game. I say that because in r/godot there is always a lot of handwringing from newcomers who are wondering if they should skip ahead to something more advanced/common, but ultimately they want to make a game. If that's the case, I think GDScript is great. I think the real learning experience for any independent game developer is how to scope a project so that it is achievable with the resource constraints they have available. That's useful in all programming domains.

For me, Safari is much better with resources and generally faster. If longer release cycles is what maintains that I’m fine with it.
>It's honestly so trivial and uninvasive of a regulatory matter it's ridiculous

You can't honestly believe this. Even if one agrees with making some things open protocols, potentialy by law (messenger, social networks), stating "it's trivial" to do such a thing is just the height of hyperbole.
I feel like the greater problem is that we use the word 'consciousness' at all; the very term is undefined and acting like its a term we can build a science on is just as flimsy as saying its a feeling

You'll also need to make sure you're on a kernel supporting the WBS fallback patch[1], which should be the case if you have the latest 5.10 kernel or the 5.12 development kernel.

You can check if it's working by running `info all` in pw-cli. It'll mention if the bluez codec is "mSBC".

I believe it's a mistake to assume that this change is solely to deliver features to users faster. There are all kinds of other things in Chrome other than end-user features.

One important thing would be security updates.

Chrome also has mechanisms that feed back into core Google businesses, so this also might improve Google's ability to iterate on those faster, gather feedback and make business decisions faster, etc.

Personally I want to avoid Google's "core business" as much as possible, so if that's a major reason for this change then it's even more motivation to stay off of Chrome.

(This is all speculation, since Google doesn't really have any credibility to me anymore, so I won't believe any official reasons they have for doing this.)
> This kind of economy-wide, sudden, and simultaneous disinvestment would be a catastrophe for the economy.

I don't know, it sounds like a great opportunity for the non-super-wealthy to buy shares in productive assets at a discount. Haven't all the prudent people in the room spent the past 8 years grousing about how poor the P/E ratio of the S&P is?
> I would also guess a risk is that with less time on the pre-stable channels for testing, there might actually be more bugs and issues as a result

Is it also possible that a shorter window would allow less number of features being in flux in each release? Perhaps that actually leads to easier bug triaging, etc.

Disclaimer: Work at Google, but not on Chrome.
The best progress bars I see, are double ones, where there's one general bar, and one with a thinner bar for each item. That way I always know that there's progress. Perhas even some info text would be nice too, like it is in most games, for when the progress requires some CPU time.

> I wish we could live in a society where people would not have to work themselves to death and were able to... you know... enjoy life

Compared to almost everyone else who ever lived, if you live in a Western Democracy (and increasingly for many in some non-Western countries), that time is now.

People from past centuries, and people from many poor nations around the world, would be baffled that people living with the opportunities we have available to us complaining about not being able to "enjoy life".

Things certainly aren't perfect, but seize the opportunities already being afforded to you for enjoyment.
> faster than we can build the tech

You're arguing for nuclear on the basis of its build speed? That doesn't seem to be born out in reality. Maybe another X* years when we've got cheap, factory built small modular reactors, but that certainly doesn't describe nuclear today. In which case we're back to waiting for new tech.

* X being some number of years that increments by 1 year, every year.
