> That's like saying that someone who owns 90% of a publicly traded company is worth $9 billion just because the stock has a market cap of $10 billion. If they'd actually try to cash that stock, they'd run out of buyers and the stock price would go way, way down.

So the objection is that the larger the share of renewable electricity, the higher the electricity price? I'm sure you can see why this is not really a problem? Because the higher the electricity price the more profitable it becomes to invest in renewable electricity. In fact, what currently is stalling the build-out of renewables in many European markets is that electricity prices have plummeted.

> A few countries like the USA and Argentina have it easy, but most places don't have large swathes of land laying around completely unused with wind and sun aplenty.

Most countries don't have large uranium deposits either. Importation and exportation solves such problems.

> What's more: due to only replacing a tiny percentage of electricity production with solar and wind, we aren't yet seeing the need for large scale energy storage, which seems like it will easily triple the cost with current technology (my takeaway from [2], p. 76).

44.6% of Germany's power production comes from renewables and it is not seeing any need for large-scale energy storage [1]. The need for large-scale energy storage may not materialize since fluctuations in power production will be matched by fluctuations in power consumption. In other words, there is no God-given right to mine Bitcoins 24/7 at a constant and minimal electricity price.

> You might counter with putting the stuff on sea instead to avoid the finite land issue. The primary problem there is that this is not where people live, increasing the cost of construction, maintenance, and energy transportation.

Most people don't live near nuclear power plants either.

> For example, wind on sea is about as expensive as nuclear (I should start keeping notes on which sources I looked at before and copy-paste texts instead of memorize and reiterate).

According to LAZARD 14.0, offshore wind costs on average $86/MWh to produce compared to $129-$198/MWh for nuclear [2]. And for offshore wind, costs keep falling while they are stagnant or increasing for nuclear.

Then I hope you and like-minded are willing to finance the costs of new nuclear power yourselves, because I don't want my taxpayer money to be wasted on any more nuclear boondoggles.

>Google knows its bread and butter is legitimate results

My feeling is that google have paid only lip service to that for more than a decade now? Ads are now much, much more important due to lack of meaningful search competition.

Remember ads used to be clearly separate from search results? That's a long time ago. Google make a load of money selling $company the first hit for the search string with $company_name which is an ad so $company_competition can't steal their search result. Then take the cash when the person searching for $company clicks the first link that comes up when they search for company. That's closer to protection rackets and stand-over tactics than focus on a bread-and-butter of legit search results.

That's just one example of modern google. Remember "I'm feeling lucky?" Quite the contrast nowadays isn't it. Unrecognizably different in the google approach. But also it's difficult to take a legitimate result focus seriously if you've ever done a google search on a phone. Try it.

Google are really happy to get any bidding war for advertising content going and have such a dominant position they don't care at all what you think about it. This particular suggestion of what they might be doing? I dunno. It'll probably leak if it's true. It is completely and totally consistent with modern google.

That's not actually true. Fair use involves four factors:
(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; (2) the nature of the copyrighted work; (3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and (4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

(Although Thomas did ask in Google v Oracle if perhaps some more factors should be included, since the statute says the factors "shall include" and is therefore not an exhaustive list).

The percentage of copyrighted content is literally one of the four factors that are used to determine if the use is fair.
Convenience. Why bother with stuff like, say, validating your Signal "safety numbers" to ensure that you are actually talking to your contact and not the police? Instead, just farm out all the boring detail to someone else and buy a "secure" phone for $1-$2k. Unfortunately, at that point you are no longer effectively end to end.

There was a case where a company was selling a "PGP phone" where it turned out that, to save having to bother the customer with key generation on the phone, they were doing it on the servers[1]. So the police grabbed the servers with all the private keys and there were a lot of sad customers.

To do end to end encryption in a way that works, there is a minimum level of understanding required. These "secure" phones are really a type of scam that preys on the not sufficiently informed.

You'll have to store more information, you just need to decide what is more space efficient. A possible approach would be to store both the bucket total, as well as the components to an equation that can roughly model the rate of change within the histogram. If you find an equation that generally models observed rates dependent on time `t`, then you can interpolate an approximate value for any point in time.

You can get sliding windows out of this as well, by using the equations for adjacent periods. You'll incur a runtime cost for this of course, but relatively small.
Operation Hametz was the British trying to stop Jewish expansion during the the partitioning they were involved with to create Israel. Looking just at that incident while ignoring the fact that Britain was creating Israel is promoting an agenda, if they truly opposed Israel they could have ended that insurgency at any point.

The British were doing it for the benefit of British interests, which don't always align with Israeli interests.

Well, yes. About ~10% of US kids.

How about 3: schooling is increasingly good at exacerbating symptoms of a problem that's considered to be strongly genetic[0] (a point curiously omitted in the article you linked) and widespread in the population. And the numbers seem less surprising if you consider that adult life is also good at making the symptoms apparent - except we brush them away with labels like "lazy", "unorganized", "chronic procrastinator", "rude", etc. and let people figure out coping mechanisms on their own, which often include substance abuse, or on the lighter end, self-medicating with coffee and cigarettes.

Deep learning, machine vision in agriculture in 2021. ArXiv:2103.04893
Unprecedented progress in the deep learning field influenced many of different industries, including agriculture sector. The use of neural networks in agro-industrial activity in the task of recognizing cultivated crops and weed is a new direction with a history lower than 10 years. Dozens of new neural networks appear every year, but absence of any standards significantly complicates the understanding of the real situation of the use of the neural network in the agricultural sector. In the manuscript, we analyzed research over the past 10 years on the use of neural networks for the classification and tracking of crops and weeds in agriculture. We presented the analysis of the results of using various neural network algorithms for the task of classification and tracking. Finally, we made recommendations for the use of neural networks in the tasks of recognizing a cultivated object and weeds

This was downvoted but the reality in Germany is that this is literally happening. I'm in some Fridays for Future chats and coal gets them going, but nuclear is worse. There's a reason Germany phases out nuclear fission before fossil fuels. It blows my mind and my german colleagues are in favor of continuing to decommission nuclear plants. When pressed specifically, they do concede that perhaps it's not the best idea to do it in this order, but they're not against the plans either.

Meanwhile 92% of Germany's energy consumption is still fossil fuels, but at least it won't be nuclear!
This is a vast oversimplification of an incredibly complex issue. Also, calling it "dirty" is a prime example of your bias. Every nation state engages in espionage.

20% is how many boys that age were ever diagnosed with ADHD. 89% of children ever diagnosed have a current diagnosis. Only 62% of children with a current diagnosis take any medication.[1] So much fewer than 20% take a specific medication probably.

In terms of scaling up, renewables + batteries seems to have a clearer logistical and economic path. Batteries can be mass produced and we need to increase production capacity anyway for electric cars. And there is already a massive industry around battery technology from consumer electronics. Solar panels in particular are ridiculously modular and offshore wind can rely on existing oil industry experience.

I just don't see a similar pathway for nuclear? Particularly in less stable parts of the world without an existing industry.

> It's a warning.

That was the genesis of the phrase, yes. As a kind of corollary to caveat emptor. Yet it doesn't serve that function in practice, because in context it sneakily redirects blame onto the "emptor".

Take this hypothetical discussion, for example.

> Comment: I think Facebook spying on users is a gross invasion of privacy and we should advocate for better privacy laws.

> Top Reply: If you aren't the customer, you're the product.

In reading that, the reply doesn't read like a warning. It instead shifts the focus away from Facebook being responsible for invading people's privacy, and towards blaming people for using Facebook because they should have known better. Caveat emptor.

It's been an insidious scourge on serious discussions of privacy since its inception.
I don't understand why people use FB as a source of news and information. It's terrible at that. RSS is an excellent protocol for that, and has some really good tools.

What FB used to be good-ish at and is now mediocre at is being a social feed of friends and family. Dreamwidth is better at that than FB is, but FB's got the network effect of users already. Convincing people to switch is problematic.

Our present use of fossil fuels is vast. The effort required to replace fossil fuels will likewise be vast. It includes a lot more mining for metals used in electric vehicles, regardless of whether those vehicles are charged by nuclear electricity or by renewables. It appears technically feasible to scale up metal extraction to the necessary level. Metal extraction has negative environmental impacts, but the impacts of continuing to burn fossil fuels are worse.

> a lot of HN readers don't like this, but the debate is over. [...] Get over it.

Very dismissive, but I recognize your name as a German journalist, which explains a thing or two. (We share an acquaintance actually and I generally like your work in the security sphere.) I'm also living in Germany and the political environment is exactly like that: there's no point trying to change the public opinion which is wayyyyy negative about nuclear (to the point where many restaurants had stickers on the door "shut down <insert name of nearest plant>!" without being afraid of losing customers). But not everyone in the world is that level of misinformed. There is still a chance to save some emissions elsewhere in the world, even if it's administratively difficult because governments are usually elected for periods shorter than it takes to build, let alone operate and turn a profit on, one of these power plants. Doesn't mean that, with enough information about safety and proper cost calculations, some countries are still likely to vote a government into power that continues to permit the operation of a nuclear power plant within their borders. Let's not give up just yet. Or if you're personally against it, then just say so and bring real arguments instead of pretending everyone except HN is already against it.
