> 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.

Some specific proposals would be to put a minimum nuclear fuel limit on the existing nuclear power plant regulations and create a new class with loosened containment requirements for active reactor designs that are passively safe by nature. Existing regulations are written around reactor designs that hold thousands or tens of thousands of kilograms of nuclear fuel that they have to moderate and keep in check. This is clearly not a viable option for nuclear long term against natural gas and renewables due to the overwhelming cost of manpower and materials which scales poorly. The regulatory overhead, transportation, and storage costs on that much radioactive fuel alone is prohibitively expensive, so we really need to focus on making progress in powered nuclear fission reactors which are impossible under the current regulatory regime.

Designs like the nuclear lightbulb - studied and tested by UTC under a NASA Mars program contract in the late 60s/early 70s - take tens of kilograms of fuel and heat & compress it till it reaches criticality at hundreds of atm and thousands of degrees. Any failure in the system causes a loss of pressure and the core returns to subcritical; even in a worst case scenario like a conventional bomb exploding in the reactor chamber, it would be a minor incident on the level of Three Mile Island. There are many tweaks that have been theorized but untested that would make the reactor even safer. However, any design like this requires regular maintenance of the reactor and completely different levels of containment that are either prohibitively expensive or impossible right now.
It would be a compromise that some would accept and some would yell at as unacceptable
People can complain that something is bad without calling for the government to ban it.
They can even explicitly say that the government shouldn’t ban it, while also saying that the people doing it should stop.
Tesla has demonstrated that is not the case.

Tesla acts as a third party. They leverage a tort system not designed to accommodate the type of telemetry they have to aggressively find fault with the drivers action.

I think we need to look at what France is doing. They seem to have a good safety culture as a society, 90% of their power is nuclear and has been for decades they’ve never had a serious accident. Other examples, they have also never had a serious high speed train accident. They seem to be able to build these things considerably cheaper than we are able to in Britain and way cheaper than you can in America. They are a first world country with equivalent living conditions to the UK so unlike comparisons with China where many people blame poor working conditions and under regulation for cheapness, you can’t make the same argument against France. By the way I don’t know if that’s true about regulations in China (who does) but it is an argument that many people make that is a lot more easily refuted by just comparing with France instead.

> being in a financially sound position

As a newish parent (nearly two years), the only real costs I see are for childcare. Yes clothing and food costs something, but it's not that much (and plenty of people will give you old clothes if you ask). We share a bedroom, and it's not a problem. This can be solved by having the right support structures in place by the state. I live in an EU country, but my country doesn't do very well with this.

Although my SO does not work (they were studying before our child was born), we do not have family living nearby that can help with childcare, which seems to be how most people cope here. Ideally the state would provide free childcare to all families, regardless of whether parents are working or not. It should be at a high enough standard, that state childcare is the norm (like schools), not the exception.
This "Think Tank", "Freedom House" is NOT impartial; their methodology is flawed, biased and highly subjective. I wouldn't take any of their reports seriously, particularly when it comes to a country like India whose "Diversity" on various societal axes are truly one of a kind. The situation on the ground is much more nuanced and reports like these only create more harm.

I am now convinced I've had Fibromyalgia/Chronic fatigue syndrome for years but covid has seriously kicked it up a level making the symptoms worse.

I've suffered from chronic pain syndrome in my legs/hips for years, in fact since I was like 10 and has had a big affect on my life. As a result of chronic pain I've then mentally suffered as well, done CBT a few times as well. I've had countless sessions of physio and hydrotherapy.

Before covid was even a thing (Like 2-3 years) I've reported fatigue issues to my GP multiple times, I had IBS, concentration issues and chest pains. The GP's did ECGs and said I was fine. My rheumatology kicked me of the patient list, but got me physio and a sleep study (I have mild sleep apnea)

Jan 2020 I had the flu as well, my Father was the first one and did lose his taste and sense of smell.

Come April 2020 I was just getting out of breath walking in my garden and slight chest pains at the bottom of my lungs, the fatigue got worse. Doctor was like "You've not got symptoms of covid, but it could be covid, some of my colleagues have felt wiped out" Come June/July 2020 I took part in the NHS home antibody test and I had a faint line that indicated I had antibodies for covid-19, at this point things had gone back to normal for me.

Come December 2020, my concentration levels were the worst they've ever been. The brain fog was horrendous, I was now getting worse chest pains and feeling rather fed up with it. GP was doing nothing other than saying get a covid test. In the end I went to a walk in clinic and they thought I may have had clots on my lungs. Got sent to A&E (Yes sent to A&E during a pandemic, the worst place anyone can be) They came to the conclusion after looking at my medical record and symptoms I had Fibromyalgia/Chronic fatigue syndrome. I now take fluoxetine in the morning alongside my amitriptyline in the evening (been on it for 10+ years), I'm doing a lot better but do have days where I've got no get up and go, it got worse in 2020 and I think covid made things worse. Also interestingly my mother ME, so do wonder if there is a genetic factor.

AFAIK, memcpy is not a simple loop, in a way that it can align the copies to match the architecture. For example, with the right conditions (aligned memory), it can copy 32 or 64 bits at a time for most of the loop, and the remaining through copies of 8 bits (not specifically in that order).

You don't replace memcpy unless you do it right. The difference between systems with a bad or good memcpy is abysmal.

I've studied IT in early 00s in Poland, the course was a little outdated, but it had some advantages.

We've started from 0 with no assumption of any computer knowledge and first 2 years most courses were using Delphi (console only, no GUI stuff, basically it could just as well have been Turbo Pascal, some Linux enthusiasts used FPC instead of Delphi and it worked).

We all complained that we want C++ then, but I've learnt to appreciate Pascal later. After first few months we've known every nook and cranny and there was very little corner cases and gotchas. So basically we focused on algorithms and not on avoiding the traps language set for us.

Most people had no programming experience and after a few weeks they wrote correct programs no problem.

I doubt this would happen if we started with C++ as most people wanted, and I think it's better than Python as a starting language because it teaches about static typing and difference between compile- and run-time.

Sadly it's a dead language now.

While the Kernel team directly may not be as involved in testing the Linux Kernel to the extent that dedicated QA team would be, there are multiple billion dollar organizations like IBM (Red Hat), Oracle, etc that do a lot of automated testing. Given the amount of issues with Windows as well, especially for Insider builds, it doesn't make me lose trust in the Linux kernel anymore than I'd trust a Windows operating system. In fact, because it was caught before it would regular distro users it gives me more trust.

It's interesting and disappointing that the CAA is bought up all the time on India related threads in HN for being something that is anti-minority, but explicitly helps persecuted minorities in neighborhood countries, like these Sikhs that faced terror attacks in Afghanistan [1].

Isn't supporting persecuted minorities with no other homeland than India something that the government of India should do? Israel does it by giving citizenship to all persecuted incoming Jews and there seem to be no complains about that so not sure why India is demonized for doing the same.

Also, most of the mentions of CAA never explain exactly what is discriminatory in the law[2]. It only accelerates the citizenship process for religions that originate in India. Not sure what is discriminatory about that?

I hadn't heard before about ferries using Voith Schneider propellers. I did know that many ferries use (somewhat more traditional) azimuth thrusters for good maneuverability.
Maybe it’s related to this phenomenon that when I travel to some new place for the first time then the trip feels much longer than the way back. Also when visiting more and more the trip feels shorter and shorter.

I can imagine that “carving new path into mind” takes more effort than traveling on a path which is already there.

From that, perhaps we can make time seem slower by constantly doing something new instead of falling into old routines. At least falling into routines seems to increase with age.
> Since a couple months ago DDG decided to block TOR Browser users, so I would guess that most people that were concerned about their privacy already moved on to the competition.

I've used the clearnet DDG site for months over Tor and the only problem I've experienced is that sometimes DDG decides that my exit node isn't acceptable for some reason. This is very rare though (happens about once per month) and the error message makes it very clear that I should just use another exit node (unlike many other sites where I get cryptic error messages or a Google captcha).

> Piracy removes that right.

But that right is entirely artificial in the first place. It was given in order to encourage more creation. Saying that some creations would have been encouraged had that right been enforced (not even that is a given - a pirated copy does not equate a lost sale 1:1) is not enough to justify copyright without weighing that against all the negative effects of copyright - overhead to licensing, enforcement costs paid by society, people prevented from creating derivativees, etc.

There's a special place in hell (hopefully next to the one earmarked for the creator of reCaptcha) set aside for the developer at Reddit who decided it would be a really great idea to make a big modal dialogue slide up over half the screen asking me if I want to view the site in Chrome or download the Reddit app... every... single... fucking... time I'm forgetful enough to click on a link to that bloody site, on any of my Android devices.

You still need an unencrypted EFI partition given what you describe, and the signed unified kernel image lives there, which means that you do in fact have a boot partition. My /boot mount is my EFI partition.

However, an alternative is having your EFI partition reside on a USB drive that in turn boots into your encrypted partition.

I hope the irony isn’t lost on you that you are using the word “lynching”—which in its literal, non-metaphorical usage refers to the terroristic murder of racial minorities in the United States—to refer to the non-violent use of cultural power by members of those same minority groups to demand respect from institutions and powerful individuals.

You may think that some of these demands have gone too far, and you may believe that some institutions have been too obsequious in adhering to these demands, but surely you must admit that the use of the word “lynching” in this context is offensive, no?

> The claim that it "damages many organs" is at least an overstatement -- the vast majority of Covid-19 patients have no such damage.

The problem: assuming a (made up, just for the argument here) 0.1% rate of coronavirus cases that end up in long-covid / systematic organ failures, and you have 1k of infections, that's not many total cases. Assuming you have 116 millions of infected people however, suddenly even a 0.1% rate translates into hundreds of thousands of affected people. The actual rate is possibly in double-digit percentage area (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7533045/), so ... yeah.

This is why combatting infections is so important, not just because of mutation risk...

Typhoon's only flight inputs are basically: desired pitch rate, desired roll rate, desired yaw rate, desired power output.
