> And all the advantages of microservices without the associated costs. (orchestration, management etc)

Really curious about this! What’s the deployment experience? What environment do you use for your production? How do you run/maintain the erlang VM and deploy your service?
Sad how different this reads if you look at it as written by a Muslim or Jew. I wish it made no difference.
I didn't mean to imply that at all, although it does seem like the first reasonable target: all job categories, except for ones that require people to be a specific gender for some reason, should have participation roughly proportional to the proportion of that gender (or other attribute) in society.

I'm not certain that's the right goal, but what I said above was working a model where 50% women participation seemed like the expected amount.
Fukushima--that's why nuclear is held in ill repute.
The amount of insecurity in the thread is a little embarrassing gentlemen. Let's be open minded and entertain the possibility that women are indeed more capable and that societal constructs drag down their career opportunities.
So imagine they build it from scratch instead. That would cost a bit more, but still very little compared to what governments can muster.

The central point that any large nation state has more than enough resources to 51% Bitcoin is entirely valid.
It seems you are Just Asking Questions about a subject whose answers are readily available in a Wikipedia Article with 300 citations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghur_genocide

> It's illustrative how Americans get up in arms about how the Chinese dealing with Muslim terrorists in their own country deal with human rights, while they have flown across the world to perform massacres in the country on Xinjiang's western border.

The United States has a long, violent history that continues into the present day. I don't think anyone here is arguing that. It doesn't make the PRC's actions better, nor does it mean that we shouldn't condemn abuses of human rights where we see them.
I've thought of this too. I cannot come up with any practical reason for it.
Yeah, probably most? IDK, I don't have the stats at hand, but in plenty of places you're alone agains't what it comes to you, no matter your gender.

The personal and societal reasoning about parenthood changes, but they still do have babies, despite being on their own. For many people, children is their retirement plan.

Anyway, it's not the same to have a nice monthly stipend than a small cheque far in between. Spain, for example, is considerably worse financially-wise for raising a kid than countries more up north. Not only because the country job market is shit (which is important even if you don't work, because your partner has to bring money home), but because the state really doesn't do much about it.

Now imagine living in a place where there isn't really a functional state to look for.
A great deal of teaching is built around the idea of students sitting still in one place for a long period of time, listening intently and working quietly. Boys seem to have a lot more difficulty with this (on average) than girls do.

That's one example but there are plenty of others.
Probably because they understand very well there is no such thing as an independent investigation.
They do, there's lots of footage of Mandatory Patriot Camp and zero footage of actual genocide.
It seems to confirm my experience over whole education
Haha this is likely some sort of selection bias effect because I need constant validation and I have a group of friends who are all like that and a group of friends who are all not like that.

If I were in one group, I reckon I'd form one opinion and if I were in the other I'd form the other opinion.

I'd be wary of making population generalizations when one uses sample populations highly susceptible to selection bias: one's friends and one's coworkers - both of whom are usually selected for agreeableness with the group, either directly for friends or indirectly through culture fit for coworkers.
Agreed - but this is exactly the sort of thing unions have and do argue for[0] because the union's incentives don't align with the company's and the economy as a whole.

> Expecting all Deaf people to simply use written English when dealing with a computer is like expecting all Americans to use Spanish to interact with their computers

Kind of a false equivalence here. For many Americans there is no real reason to learn Spanish. However, I have to imagine that for literally all deaf people learning to read and write the dominant local language is required in order to participate in the larger society. Signs will be written in that language, restaurant menus, newspapers, business emails, etc. You will be surrounded by writing of your local language every day.

There doesn't really exist a world where a person can get by without being able communicate with others in their vicinity. Deaf people are more often surrounded by non-deaf people who they will have to communicate with somehow. Sharing a common spoken language is kind of out of the question, sharing a common written language is the next best thing.

So, sure. Create a written sign language, make unicode support for it and create new locale settings for each dialect of sign language. This will not eliminate or even really reduce deaf people's need to learn to write their locally dominant language.
GME is the example I chose above, but Bitcoin works just as well
While usually people use percentages in the wrong way, in this case they used and compared them the appropriate way.

Percentage here is used as a ratio of total output and a decline in that ratio over time is a decline in role. Exactly what the articles headline asserts. It doesn't matter that nuclear may have grown in absolute numbers. The assertion is that its role has declined which is true.
> Webpack itself however does basically nothing

This is not the case. I love esbuild and hope to see it go far, but Webpack does out of the box most of what esbuild (today) does as well, with the notable exception of TypeScript /jsx transpilation. For more advanced scenarios, like dealing with css modules, you do need plugins -- but esbuild doesn't support most of these scenarios today at all.

It's like saying VS Code does nothing: you probably want extensions to help you out and let you do more complex things more easily, but it doesn't "do nothing" out of the box.
* Lots of sitting still. My local school canceled recess several years ago to make sure the kids had more studying time.

* Fine motor skills like good handwriting are rewarded, often explicitly as part of the grade.

* Verbal skills are often explicitly rewarded, even if they don't have much to do with a subject. My local school asks students to write and make a presentation about their math answer. It doesn't matter if they get the right answer as long as the presentation is professional and impressive.
Question: how much is building new nuclear plants about producing nuclear weapons?

Is that still important? In the UK we’re spending an INSANE amount of money on a new reactor and I’m wondering if that has anything to do with the government’s motivation.
To me, it doesn't. The people in a position to do this kind of thing are not the same people as are facing the oppression.
This is a strangely offensive comment. You stated that all negative commenters are just bitter for having missed out. The other comment said "No, here are my legitimate reasons for not liking bitcoin". You respond claiming that that's just proof s/he is a h8t3r, see 2018 where similar arguments were already made.

Have you considered that there are indeed legitimate reasons not to like bitcoin, like those outlined by the previous commenter?

Or e.g. I think the detachment from the nation state is a dangerous element that will foster a race to the bottom on taxes, environmental standards, etc as capital gets even more mobile and untraceable than before. A small crowd gets the benefits and many many miss out with underfunded schools and healthcare...

Free fifth estate manufacture consent more effectively than state propaganda. Access to information ≠ ability to discern or be critical. Everyone taught to check veracity of sources, but no one even reads past the headline in the first place. Even most educated audiences demonstrate QANON levels of eating bad information especially when it comes to foreign policy or other subjects that they have tangential interest but strong tribal investments in. I grew up with strong state media, and at least people are suspicious of media by default. Free media brainwashing is too strong.

People who decide to build new plants make their decision not from concerns about climate change, but economics. Building a new nuclear plant would be like building a new coal plant, but worse because by the time it's complete the economics will be even poorer in comparison. Nuclear just doesn't make economic sense on any measure: cost per GW, time to complete, up front cost, regulatory difficulty, etc.

So as much a nuclear advocates wish more nuclear plants would be built, unless they want to provide significant subsidies, it's just not going to happen. For the same reason you don't shop around by finding the highest price you can... no one is looking to throw away money. Energy is energy.. no one cares about the type of plant it came from.
> There are many things I dislike about Tesla. But I genuinely believe they are responsible for bringing EVs to market ~3 years before it would have happened without them.

This feels vaguely ahistorical. The best-selling electric car platform in Europe today is the Renault Z-E platform (or at least it was; VW may have overtaken by now). That platform was announced in 2009 or so, with the first cars in 2011, and the first Zoe (the popular car based on the platform) in 2012. The Nissan Leaf came out in 2010. The Tesla Model S came out in 2012.

So given that, it's hard to see what Tesla had to do with it, really. Some of the most popular models came to market BEFORE Tesla (if you ignore the roadster, a contemporary of the Z-E concepts, which you almost certainly should).
Nuclear was already considered a risk before Chernobyl by a portion of the population. Fukushima just reaffirmed that.
> With Flash a single banner ad in some tab you forgot you had open could consume half or more of your G4/G5/C2D, whipping your fans into a frenzy and roasting your lap (if using a laptop).

And not coincidentally, html5 banner ads will do the same thing on a G4/G5 today in TenFourFox, if you disable the built-in adblocker.

Which is to day, I actually think modern websites are much heavier. What changed is the hardware.
Yes - the first email should clearly say that DKIM/SPF is not correct. In other words, if I mistakenly un-spam an email which has incorrect DKIM/SPF, then the gmail interface should still say that headers are not ok.
Nuclear was in ill repute before Fukushima. The only reason Fukushima even happened was because we stopped building new nuclear plants to replace the old ones decades ago.
For better or for worse, IE6 lived on, and on, and on for far too long with no changes.

A bigger concern than the changing standards mode in other browsers was the fact that IE6 just wouldn’t die.

I had people challenging me “why are you developing for Firefox first and then adapting your app to work on IE? Shouldn’t you be doing it the other way around?” Over 10 years later those apps I built are still working great on the latest browsers, with no layout fixes since then. Meanwhile, many of those “rich”, forward-thinking apps developed for IE and Silverlight are long dead.
This is really straight forward - a nation's economic activity is always going to be shaped by its military policy and investment.

For example - the US dominance in fields like internet, electronics and aviation is probably directly related to the investment the country has made in related fields for military reasons. Once you have a manufacturing base and labor force that knows how to do X, they will do it commercially.

Israel is a small nation of well educated people which is consistently dealing with external existential threads. Of course its military strategy is going to be intelligence-based (rather pre-empt on pin-point basis rather than go to all out war down the road.) And then of course people will graduate from that military experience of using computers for broad data analysis and look to put it to commercial use. This manifests in cyber security and ad tec and plenty of other civilian uses like medical imaging. None of this is particularly malign or surprising. It comes down to - if you have a large labor force who can do X, and there are subsets of X you don't like, there's going to be some proportion of what the country does that you won't like.

Frankly, this thread is filled with stuff that's getting downvoted for no reason, and some really off-topic comments.
Selling Turkey a WhatsApp 0day and operating the C&C servers for use in a war zone isn't contributing to peace and Israels survival, it's a war crime. NSO employees should probably be jailed the moment they leave the country.
This shouldn't be a controversial take. It is Occam's razor
after all.

We know that before the tech industry became popular and a way to make good money, women displayed little to no interest in being associated with programming "nerds" which were predominantly men to the extent that men over-represented the group of socially outcast nerds. This was mostly an American phenomenon, and other countries did not share this social hierarchy, hence the data on girls performing better academically outside of the US.
I don't think there are many fields out there where you'd need comparatively that much expertise in so many subfields before you got to call yourself a generalist.
Indeed. The number of women in STEM fields is also low in Sweden and other Scandinavian countries compared to in-development ones. And, nobody in his/her right mind will accuse the Scandinavian countries of being patriarchal sexists societies.

I mean, if by reason you mean causation and not purpose, sure. But I think being that reductionist is pretty boring and unuseful.

Not to mention that you can still reproduce without a foreskin, but if you were just a disembodied but otherwise intact dick-and-balls; I doubt your reproductive chances would be particularly high. So from an evolutionary standpoint, I would still argue that it isn't the most important organ.

Tesla has the worst car, which also happens to be the best car. I have owned several EVs.

First, driving an electric car is wonderful. Smooth power, lots of torque, quiet, convenient. You can run the climate control while you're in the store. There is no smog checks, there are fewer parts, drastically less maintenance. When you smell coolant or oil, it's probably another car.

As far as Tesla EVs - they did a lot of things right.

Driving a few year old nissan leaf is like driving a car with a 1.5 or 2-gallon gas tank. Charging a leaf during a longer journey is a (giant) leap of faith.

Tesla made their batteries big enough and put chargers within the footprint of their cars.

I know, they didn't follow SAE for the charger, but really they've been innovating with this interface, at the forefront. That gives them agency that would be slowed down with a committee. (note that europe made them follow SAE standards)

But the Tesla is making some bonehead moves in ergonomics. Does anyone over at tesla drive? Yes, yes it will all be automatic some day, but their high-end models are from people who want the motor. Those people are into the driving experience.

There is no dashboard in the 3 or Y (or truck). You have to look to the side for status, and to adjust most functions. Status in the direction of view seems obvious to me.

They've also eliminated most stalks in the 3 and Y - for example overloading autopilot with the PRND stalk. The 3/Y scroll wheels are troublesome to use - s/x are much better. but they're bringing all that to the new s/x - and pulling all the stalks. ugh.

Right now you can't flash your lights or turn on defog without navigating the touchsceen. The automatic wipers suck and you can't adjust the intermittent delay even on the touchscreen. Touchscreen targets are very very small, especially in a moving car.

I've said it before, I think tesla should allow the option of a dashboard for the 3/Y/truck, and it should allow more direct controls for critical driving features.

aside: the USB player is the best. It can play apple lossless or flac. It is also the worst. thousands of posts on the USB player bug thread on TMC.

I also think they should take a year, yes a year, and fix existing functionality instead of adding new functionality (no matter how cool playing the witcher on the touchscreen would be).

Fix the wipers. Fix the USB player. add a dashboard. add controls. ask the customers.
No. The date is correct (they were issued at the end of the month), but the price chosen is the best price for the grantee.
This is roughly theft from the other stockholders.

If you look at the link in akeck's comment its actually tax evasion. There is(was?) a tax break if stock options were granted at the same price as the day they were issued. So by lying about the date they were able to get the cheaper price, and also get the tax break.

It's no more theft than paying a salary, the company could set the price at anything they wanted. They could also just give away securities for free, as long as all laws are being met. In this case they were reporting the incorrect date, and owing less in taxes because of it.

> They can just cry "security updates" and instantly have a solid case for the subscription model

or they can cry "changes in browser and OS!" stuff that worked 5 years ago may not work the same today, or at all. Having a business model around it to help keep up with changes that are largely outside the control of that vendor helps ensure the value still stands. Or... new value can be unlocked - want your useful service to be able to handle that new video format, or compression, or audio format? I seem to remember something as 'trivial' as Apple moving MacBooks to "retina" displays caused a lot of problems and non-trivial amount of work for a lot of tools and services to be able to work 'correctly' with the new formats.
Understanding somewhat doesn't mean they can't understand better.

I've always wondered how complicit companies like Apple are in the surveillance of these marginalized communities. Apple has never really addressed how exactly they operate in these regions, and their transparency report says that they turn over more information in China than nearly any other country. Hacker News probably won't like me for asking this, but:

I'm not saying there were no problems, and it's not like we haven't gone through massive teething pains to get to where we are with browser based apps either. However I'd argue if all the work that went into trying to turn a hypermedia system into an app runtime had instead been focused on fixing the Java issues, we'd be in a far better place.

Although what is interesting is that with the Java solutions, it was the user who felt the pain where developers had a decent experience. As the web platform has evolved, users have avoided most of the issues and the pain has been experienced by developers. This would go a long way to explaining why users have never had it so good as they have right now and every developer I know is trying to figure out how to get out of the industry, or at least get out of web dev.

That sounds all nice and small-town rosy, but I would pick anonymity any day. Road to totality and 1984-esque society only takes 1 step at a time to build, and this is definitely one of those steps. Although coming form smallish town, this familiarity with shop owners ain't something high on my list of priorities, in contrary.

The strongest reason for it would probably be the old 'power corrupts', as we can see just about anybody with access to it, be it a person or organization in the past. No reason to be so naive to think some other place is special and avoids it. And knowing basically everything about any individual is a massive amount of power and very personal. Also rarely are these kinds of laws repelled, in contrary, the data are just too sweet and there is always the next terrorist threat to prevent.
It's a tough problem. Unconstrained market is a cesspool. Somebody needs to set some limits - the question is, who and what.

The rules and grading are different.

In school, the rules that students are rewarded for following are "softer" and harder to justify directly. eg. You must submit a project with a cover with beautifully handwritten title of this specific size, or you lose marks (This is real guidance that was provided for my school and college projects.)

At work, while these kind of rules exist, it's typically okay to break them, and performance is mostly rated on actual impact, not pointless rule-following.
Hi - very cool idea! Will probably try it out. Apologize if this is on the site (could not find it) but do you plan to offer any features to "meet" local runners in person?

I wonder, would Israel face the violent opposition it faces today if Israel wasn’t founded through the terrorization of, extermination of, and colonization of the indigenous Palestinian people? It is well documented and widely accepted that groups like the Irgun and Haganah —- led by many of Israels most celebrated figures — resorted to terrorism and genocide to establish the supremacy of the Israelis.

Why is it that one disaster every other decade for nuclear is enough to terminate progress and innovation altogether? It's unreasonable. When rockets explode or planes crash, even when people die during launches or takeoff, we don't stop trying to improve on them. We don't give up on the tech. Something about nuclear strikes irrational fear in the general public.
