As an educated voter, I would not want to vote for my nuclear inspector, because their job solely consists of managing tail risk[1], and I have zero ability to evaluate their qualifications, or job performance.

I have no ability to accurately determine whether or not one of five candidates actually knows what they are doing, or if they are just a hustler who knows how to play Buzzword Bingo. I suppose I could spend months of my life trying to get educated on the subject, but I don't have time to do so, and neither do my neighbors.

This is why representative democracies exist. You vote for a representative, and it becomes their job to wrangle domain-specific underlings.

They don't do any favour. They are supposed to allow it by law because of GDPR. If GDPR was not passed, I personally doubt Apple would do anything. They should allow export not only to Google Photos but also for yourself to download in a way that you could import it to any other photo storage service.
The word “addiction” is overused in my opinion. Bad habits are not addictions. An addiction is something which actively harms you, but you can’t stop doing it.

Yes, you can argue social media is harmful, but it generally does not cause people to lose their jobs or spend all their money.
>> I think of Japan, nuclear power doesn’t spring to mind.

It does for me, but that probably has more to do with Godzilla movies. Japan is also unique in its experience with nuclear energy. I think of Japan as a country that has a mature understanding of nuclear power. I would not lecture them on the subject.
It's not only that, but also nuclear plants run by for profit organisations, where cutting corners will at some level be appreciated to ensure the bottom line.

/edit: it's funny that here many are calling for tougher regulation, while in other post many who are pro nuclear complain about toomuch red Tape and top much security.

> As written, the tweet contained no truth whatsoever.

"I forgot to update my Apple Card autopay info" True. "Re-enabling them takes 3-5+ business days." True. It's also true that Apple was holding his accounts hostage, just perhaps for a different reason than he believed.

Yes, and so his tweet was complete bullshit.

> A lot of people seem to be ok with Apple holding his accounts hostage

Nobody except you is talking about accounts being “held hostage”, so it’s just not true to say anyone is OK with that. You are misrepresenting people here.

> From my perspective, there can be no good justification whatsoever for Apple locking Dustin out, and thus the precise reason why it happened is no defense for it.

This is obviously an absurd position.

Refusing service after non-payment is completely normal business practice.

Of course there can be good reasons for it.

It is helpful to know that you going to condemn Apple’s actions regardless of the truth.

It would have been more honest for you to just say that before.

This makes perfect sense of why you weren’t interested in Dustin’s side of the story.

Generally I would not assume this of anyone because it’s uncharitable and one can be wrong even if someone comes off that way, so it’s refreshing to see you openly admit it.

> [EDIT] By the way, I just search https://twitter.com/search?q=to%3A%40dcurtis&src=typed_query... and the very first result was "Get fucked you liar". That's just the tip of the iceberg of the comments on the internet.

Very unfortunate, but not clear what this has to do with the conversations we are having on HN.

The tweet that they are responding to is clearly false, but there isn’t any evidence that Justin lied.

It seems much more likely that he made a mistake or posted in the heat of the moment.

It was unwise of him to post such an obviously inflammatory statement without being certain about it.

If he were to simply acknowledge his mistake, it would cast those bullying tweet in an even worse light than they currently are.

I can see that you have been truly upset by what you have seen on Twitter.
One of my children has oppositional defiant disorder. (Mom is same)
Since she was a tiny baby should would oppose you just for the sake of it.

From 2-7. Let’s go to park/pool/etc. Instant meltdown. Horse farm probably the sole exception.
Regardless she would have a blast on every outing.

Tried hours of calmness to angry rages and everything in between.

Generally 90 minutes of drama would be needed to before she wore out enough so we could go have fun.
Bed time would leave everyone dripping in sweat.

We’ve reached the point we’re we just tell her to knock it off, then we ignore her until she decides to join in. This usually takes 5-15 minutes. Not playing into it is so far our best strategy.

Other day she wanted us to adopted a Goose. After being told no, she went to the Tent and proceeded to wail for awhile. She the proceeded to slowly move closer and closer to make sure we could hear her wailing. Eventually she went back to playing when she couldn’t get a response.

None of other children are like that. The mom clearly had same as a child and early adult.

So yeah? Parenting is hard.
What point are you trying to make about growing consensus? Are you implying that the creation and growth of consensus around a given subject is invalid in some way?
The reason UBI will never work in the US is because the flow of incomes to billionaires is what's supposed to be trickled down to workers.

If the government is going to tax anyone, it's gonna be the middle class. The main people that basically keep half the economy running. Ultimately UBI is ineffective in a heavily capitalist environment because the people who shouldn't be absurdly wealthy will still remain so.
Considering NASA recommends that nuclear power be "significantly expanded" despite its drawbacks, I think they are sound enough. The US has a pretty squeaky clean record when it comes to nuclear safety and storage protocols.

Also, the current status quo of "look we built all this renewable energy! just ignore all those gas peaking plants propping them up!" has to end.

Nuclear is green. Renewables + gas is not renewable, not sustainable and not green.
They were required to do this by law in the EU.
Maybe I just didn't find the studies but I wish we knew more about the benefits of breastmilk and the act of breastfeeding (e.g. social, hormonal) and the benefits/downsides of formula.

I have this subjective feeling about one clearly being better than the other in so many ways but it's nothing rooted in facts. All the information I can find on the internet don't seem trustworthy mainly because it's so difficult to control for the socio-economic realities around who breastfeeds and who feeds formula. Plus I suppose it's difficult to do a blind trial at least when it comes to breastfeeding vs bottle feeding.
> Try this: s/women/people/g

Wow I don't even know what to say haha.
The potential for it to go horribly wrong gives me great pause. Sure, if we do everything right, it might be fine. But people make mistakes. People get greedy and lazy. The worst case is pretty "worst" here.
Agreed. Overuse of these words trivializes the actual conditions they originally described.
> "equitable to mothers"

> "actual equality where we acknowledge that women have different needs and desires".

I can't see any other meaning besides equality of outcomes split across employees by fertility lines regardless of inputs. I think this is unfair. What do you tell someone who did not take X amount of time off when their outcome is equated with someone who did?

Increasing paternity leave for all people doesn't help compensate those who do not have children or don't have this issue. Likewise for subsidizing fertility treatments.
You can't "solve" passwords because authentication requires something you have or something you know. Not everyone has email, magic links by email are insecure, and it defeats the ubiquity of password managers and keychains. There's no eliminating private keys or passwords anytime soon because it's a utopian aspiration wishing away first principles.

What can happen is better federated SSO using OAuth2 like Apple, Google, FB, Github, and/or similar for web applications to defer or eliminate yet another mandatory password.
Have you ever been in a part of the world where internet speeds were abysmal?
Average life expectancies are very very deceptive. If lots of babies die (which was the norm for much of history), then it's gonna skew the mean massively downwards in a way that doesn't reflect the observed distribution, conditional on not dying as a baby.

For instance, my understanding is that life expectancy at age 5 in both Africa and the UK are approximately equal.
Saying please do not seems like a weak strategy for containing this. Financial pressure to target advertising is huge. There will have to be ways of defeating or at least detecting this.
Of course that process of "mainstreaming" clinical terms and shifting their meaning hasn't meaningfully changed either. See as an example the endless treadmill of clinical terms for intellectual disabilities re-purposed as insults by the general populace, causing the medical community to shift to new ones, and so on.
Some HTTP headers support extended parameters, parameters with a "" after them which allow character encoding of the header value, e.g. in UTF-8. Confusingly, they also support sending both regular and extended parameters in the same header.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5987

E.g. sending the file "naïve.txt" using the Content-Disposition header.

Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=na_ve.txt; filename*=utf8''na%C3%AFve.txt

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Co...

The parameters filename and filename* differ only in that filename* uses the encoding defined in RFC 5987. When both filename and filename* are present in a single header field value, filename* is preferred over filename when both are understood.
You're wrong. There are numerous studies about that. Retail investors have a losing hand against the big players. It's the same story as going into a casino.

One of the dozens of studies on that topic: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1872211

Over 90%(low end estimation) of retail investors make less than inflation long term. The number fluctuates depending on the study.
> The thing is you don't have to participate, it's not hurting you, so what's the problem?

Because society is held together and characterized by a set of values. A society without shared values is no society. I want to promote a society where scarcity is not an artificial construct.

On the other hand, I don't care if people obsess over pokemon cards. So maybe it's fine.
You can (I do) earn that much without location sharing. But I've been doing it for a long time so I seem to get more surveys than I did at first. Looking at my history, I average just shy of 1.75/month.
I've never had a negative sentiment against nuclear energy, even though most of the people from my country seem to be or at least were so in the past.

And I feel many of the measures the Dutch government is taking these days to reduce CO2 seem borderline crazy. For example burning trees for energy (biomass), wood that is imported from the USA and Canada and shipped in huge container ships to The Netherlands [0]. And let's not forget that trees actually remove CO2 from the atmosphere.

Or the fact that the Dutch government wants the whole country cut off from gas for heating, while neighbouring countries (like Germany) are trying to get people to use gas for heating. In The Netherlands every house if connected to the gas network, but soon everybody will need to switch to waterpumps for heating.

Or the fact that the whole country will be covered with wind turbines which ruin the view, produce a lot of noise, need a lot of space and kill many birds.

Exaggerated praise is fake, so it has no value. The person receiving it can not use it to gauge their skill level.

The challenge is ownership at core, and we don't do well in having organizations not trend toward bureaucracy. As much as people hate bureaucracy, they love the order and predictability they produce.

Power plants designed to be only power plants rather than also fast breeders for military doomsday weapons would certainly help. Molten salt reactors and Candu reactors neither one fail the same way as Fukushima and Chernobyl. Fusion plants, once commercially viable, also will not fail the same way. New light water reactors should probably not be built considering the options.
Google's storage plans start at $19.99/year for 100GB. For less than a cup of coffee every month I'm able to back up my photos wherever I am, search across photos, share them easily with iOS and Android users, easily buy larger prints and photo books.

Yes, there's the fact that Google scans photos. I personally find it really useful to search for an object or face in Google Photos that other services just don't do as well.

>Periodic backup to hard disks seems like the only permanent solution

Well of course that's true. Nothing will beat owning a physical copy of your files in terms of backups/reliability in the worst cases. But you can always do both. Upload to the cloud and perform periodic account takeouts of your photos and store them to disk.
How are they obligated by GDPR to support server side data transfer to Google in particular? My understanding is that they are only required to make it possible for you to download your data so that you can upload it elsewhere if you'd like to.
The Bible also contains passages calling homosexuality "shameful", among others. And it's hard to think of a book more discriminating by gender:

You do realize this is a 75 year old industry with dozens of approved reactor designs?
This is true, but it's not exclusively limited to ad-driven models. It can also be true of surveillance or in-app purchase models. The latter has become big in gaming where games addict the user and then steer them toward purchasing special items, expansion packets, "loot boxes," etc.

Basically any app or service where there is a direct link from the amount of time the user spends on it to revenue incentivizes shady "Skinner box" addictive designs and other dark patterns.
> This difference between effect and experience is directly related to compression: specifically, the chair fails to experience the flame because the information it provides is not compressed in any way.

"Lessons from McDonalds-- chemicals and fats must be well regulated, not ditched"
This is especially true when it comes to raising kids. Children have their own personalities. Some will be introverts and others will be party animals. Some will be quiet and others will make trouble. If a person goes into the job of parenthood with perfect preparation and explicit expectations, then failure is guaranteed.

The best approach requires some level of improvisation; we learn each child’s tendencies, accept them for who they are, and try to mold them into the best versions of themselves. I don’t see a way to prepare for this.
I don't think even the hardest of hardcore libertarians would be surprised that when you give a tiny fraction of the population free money, that tiny fraction does better than they would have if they hadn't gotten any free money. Of course giving people free money leaves them with more money. The objections come from a belief that money has to _come from_ somewhere - that's the part that socialists and libertarians disagree on which isn't addressed at all by this experiment.

> Their wives take care of the baby for the most part, and they work on their next book.

I was under the impression people had kids to build a family together, not to compete with their partners for achievements. I don't think at all the situation you described is bad in any way. In fact, it would be a huge step forward.

You know what is better then a new father stressed at work, absent from home, worried his career is not growing fast enough? A new father excited about the future, doing something that is quite easily interrupted to help with the newborn and building a future for the family.

I do agree giving everyone the same things would be the best, but it is easier said than done. Easier for large corporations to support larger universal parental leaven than to for startups to do the same.
Does that really work though? What about mega companies with very common word names? Segment, Zoom, Stripe, etc.
Maybe. I'm no anthropologist. Most of what I know about the lives of hunter-gatherers comes from watching "The Gods Must Be Crazy". The !Kung family seemed pretty happy (before the bottle fell into their lives... but I don't want to spoil it. It's a great movie.)

I think it's clear though that the ordering of QoL goes roughly:

Wealthy City/Farm > Hunter-Gatherer > Poor City/Farm

So for about a million years most people had it pretty good, then for about ten thousand years most people had it pretty bad, and then the last hundred years or so many people have gone from bad to good conditions, but many still endure pretty bad conditions.

If we could somehow compare the subjective quality of life of the people of Sentinel Island and the people of Manhattan Island I suspect that the least happy Sentinelese folks would be happier than the least happy New Yorkers.
Why not “providing value to users so they use the service so they see ads”? A lot of providing value is marketing and engagement. It can be manipulative and it can also be beneficial to the user - both should be accounted for.
This isn't an uncommon position to take - many people have this sort of knee-jerk reaction to disasters on this scale and it's fair to acknowledge that we did get really lucky with how it ended up going.

However, Nuclear power is the safest and cleanest option out there if done correctly and we've known how to do it much better since around the 80s[1] - the issue is that Nuclear plants cost an insane amount of money so investors are shy to go in on the tech and we're left with a bunch of poorly aging dreadnoughts. The existing companies are pulling out all the stops to try and keep from being decommissioned for as long as possible since, from their perspective, that capital investment is a sunk cost and the longer it runs the higher the profits will be.

Nuclear power is dangerous if done wrong, it really should be largely stewarded by governments and kept out of reach of any partial privatization efforts - we also need to kill the stigma of Nuclear and realize that replacing those rusted hulks with modern reactors will work out better for everyone in the long run.

Nuclear power in general is an incredibly good and safe option that gets a lot of hate thrown at it because in practice nearly all the reactors online were built in the 70s or earlier and are near or past their advised EOL for operation. There are real problems here but rejecting Nuclear power is not the correct solution.

It's no less fair than me having to pay school taxes when I have no children. Healthy families and adequate children so the population pyramid doesn't implode (more of an issue in other developed countries than North America) is a pressing issue that affects everyone in those societies. We should pay our part of it.

> pthread_join is a blocking call, and therefore against the spirit of lockless programing. pthread_join will block until the child-thread exists, which means there's a lock in there somewhere. I personally think the first example they show is a terrible example as a result.

But they didn't use it as an example of lockless programming, did they? They were explaining what "acquire" and "release" mean, and they wanted to explain it in terms the reader should already be familiar with.

In fact, they explicitly say it's not lockless:

In the previous paragraph we have seen how the acquire and release semantics of pthread_create() and pthread_join() allow the creator of a thread to exchange information with that thread and vice versa. We will now see how this kind of communication can happen in a lockless manner while threads run.
I’m in the same boat. ”Learnt CSS” in the late 90’s/early 00’s, and learnt it all over again in the 010’s.

It’s true, CSS2 is all you need to build any layout. I actually prefer float grids over flexbox and CSS grid. Float grids are so simple to use in comparison, and all it requires is a list of breakpoints and two to three SCSS mixins, depending on how fancy you wanna get.

But no way I’d write it without modern tooling.
