Global nuclear generation increased by 95 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2019, relative to 2018:

https://www.world-nuclear.org/our-association/publications/g...

Global wind and solar generation increased by 265 TWh in 2019:

https://www.rechargenews.com/wind/global-wind-and-solar-ener...

Nuclear was still well ahead in 2019 with 2657 TWh vs. 2103 TWh for wind and solar (699 solar, 1404 wind). But if these relative growth rates continue it will take only 3.3 years for solar + wind generation to eclipse nuclear generation globally ((2657 - 2103) / 170).

Hydropower is still the far-and-away leader of non-fossil electricity generation at 4306 TWh in 2019 (106 TWh growth over 2018):

But it's a lot harder to build new hydro projects than new wind or solar projects.
I have mixed feelings about this. I despise white board and leet code. I hate it when we (at a FAANG) cannot hire some otherwise excellent candidate.

One interesting thing though is that from a market perspective, it still ends up making sense for our org (ML research lab). There are simply so many applicants, that we can afford to pass on anyone. All the candidates hired tend to still be excellent on all other fronts AND they can do these quizzes. And it does result in some hires not being the most credentialed ones with the longest CVs but the ones who outperformed during the interview for whatever reasons.

So..I can see it makes sense for the most prestigious orgs, but I still hate it, and I especially do not see why startups who are struggling to hire feel the need to copy this when they clearly do not have the same options.

Another thing that really irritates me when people in hiring committees actually pretend passing them means something about candidates' innate skill. Like, I get it, these are the rules we made up, but do we have to pretend they are that meaningful?
Zenz insanity aside, I am just interested in why the "witnesses" strolled around western and specifically us affiliated mass media keep changing their stories and narratives

The thing is most people know it's the sugar even if industry fights it every step of the way.

They might not know that saturated fat isn't as bad as they claim but sugar has definitely risen in the public consciousness.

The thing that bothers me is the substances people don't even have a clue about. Vegetarians, carnivores, keto types, all of them really downplay or ignore the role omega6s from seed oils that we shove into literally everything. The oxidation and inflammatory effects of which contribute to both obesity, cancer and heart disease

We can't eat enough omega3s to offset it either. We should be at a 1:1 ratio but are rather at a 50:1 ratio.

Industrialized food and the powers behind it have perverted our relationship with fat, jacked up our sugar and increased our omega6s by 50x what it should be.

And cutting seed oils, imho, is way harder than cutting carbs. Most people would just give up if made aware
The best solution would be to provide a broad carbon price. That way subsidy would be applied to renewables, nuclear, insulating your house or things that haven't been invented yet.
To continue the normal HackerNews go-around on this topic: there are plenty of companies that don't interview like this, at least outside of Silicon Valley.

Regarding Android, you hit the nail on the head. Nearly all of our customers were coming from word of mouth. Runners wanted to have their whole club do a run together, and not having an Android app made it impossible.

In addition, we've had requests for in-person races to offer a virtual option through Charge. This allows us to grow our user base with a unique go-to market strategy, and wouldn't be possible if we couldn't serve 50% of runners

Thank you for the kind words. Two notes for the live classes:

1. For me personally, having the runs scheduled has been one of the biggest reasons for me being successful on the platform. I plan all of my runs on Sunday nights, and they're on my calendar so I don't miss them.
2. If you can only run at another time, we do record many of the classes, and allow you to listen to them anytime you would like. You still get access to the leaderboard because we keep track on how far users have gone at different points in the run.

I guess we do not. The only things one might want to export from space to Earth are things that absolutely cannot be made on Earth. Everything else would almost certainly be produced cheaper on Earth.
I think you're being deliberately obtuse and uncharitable to the argument being presented. Any reasonable and charitable reading clearly interprets it as talking about "job for pay" rather than saying "childcare is not work".
So is there a legal framework to stop this? We could do with something like a court with economic sanctions.

This is opposite of my experience working for Chicago public schools(CPS).
Exactly. Integrating external libraries into another system is much harder than leveraging e.g. a RESTAPI. The OP seems to be saying that Service oriented architecture (SOA) is worse. It's definitely not. There's no "better" or "worse" here. It's just two different options with different costs of integration and interoperability. the service architecture is going to have additional maintenance overhead but provide cheaper and easier interoperability.
>the PRC is clearly more in the wrong.

How did you arrive at this conclusion? The victim count would massively disagree with it and so would the amount of imprisoned minorities. It seems to me that your first and last sentences disagree with eachother.
Agreed, I had been watching old episodes of Forged in Fire[1] while on the rowing machine (and I have taken a couple of blacksmithing classes, so I had some sense of what the challenges were), but Blown Away was disappointing as it emphasizes the 'art' aspect much more than the 'craft' angle, so pieces are made with lots of techniques, in lots of forms (and little real explanation), so comparing them can't really be done in terms of function, and the aesthetic critiques didn't do much for me. Looks fun, though.

Boys having trouble with a teaching method does not mean said teaching method is inherently discriminatory towards boys nor does it mean that its favorable towards girls. Do you not understand? I'm sorry if I'm not being clear. Nothing you have said has illustrated things being somehow favorable to girls.

One group of individual doing better at something does not mean the thing is favorable towards the group.

I would expect better from McDonald's. They empower just about anyone in a restaurant to do just about anything to resolve a problem, short of giving you a refund greater than 100% of what you paid.
What people totally omit when thinking about webhooks is the parallels to web sockets and client side updates. In the last round of our system updates, we have "attached" the web sockets and webhooks to the same message bus which has simplified the overall design of the system.
They have to disclose the source of information to be able to use it in criminal cases.

>Surely disclosing that will just have driven the same users to other apps and they’ll have to start from scratch

From the sounds of it this app had already been cracked when the Eurochat bust was announced, allowing them to scoop up all the users who tried to just move to the next alternative. I imagine trust in the "secure communications for criminals" ecosystem will be low for a while.

Police did a similar thing with darknet markets, they secretly took control of the second largest (Hansa) and then publicly announced the bust of the largest (Alphabay). They ran it for a month, collecting all the information (and money) they could (even pulling tricks like deleting all the images so drug vendors might accidentally reupload ones with EXIF data) before shutting it down. All the better to erode trust in the entire ecosystem.
I'll be honest - this video is more cringe-y than the talking points.

I doubt you could for the majority of products. Modern supply chains are global and China has a massive economy and thus a massive role in those supply chains.
Vitamin C seems to be what most animals on this planet use as general anti-viral. It also seems it works in humans in mega dozes and/or IV.

In any case "general antiviral" seems to be even worst thing then general antibiotic. Most of bacteria / viruses are commensal, you don't really want to disturb that. For example, bacteriophage viruses are now known to handle some of the 100% resistant bacteria in a matter of days.

IMO, the system is so complex that you should only support the crew that know how to handle that - i.e. your immune system - by providing resources they need (vitamins etc.) and avoid things detrimental for them (sugar, tonsillectomy etc.).
Interesting, I wonder how skewed my perspective of high school was by finding a community college high school hybrid program that gave me freedom and access to better electives. It didn’t hurt that community college tutoring was a huge bonus: provided hours of free tutoring per course and then rewarded with opportunities to get paid tutoring the subject if I did well. Meeting older community college students through tutoring was also very formative. Tutoring money as a 15/16 year old helped my independence and motivation.

Meanwhile, I could have easily dropped out, parents even suggested I could given the strain of me getting me to school freshman year similar male peers did at 13/14, so just I lived with friends and couch surfed through all of HS. As a youngster though I did not show much academic connection and was suspended each week in a charter school, failing 2nd grade, but never going to 4th grade after switching schools. After a parent teacher conference where my mom embarrassingly tried to fight my teacher I realized things might go easier if I took time after school or during lunch to just wrap up my homework. Through middle school the boys and girls club created an atmosphere where I could continue that behavior and get access to computers and printers for written assignments. It was still a hassle though. Without a few key teachers in middle school I probably also wouldn’t have kicked a bad habit of ditching school.
Practice definitely helps.

There's a lot luck involved because there are so many candidates, most of whom cannot come up with an approach to solve a problem (let alone to solve it well enough to serve billions of users well). So even most candidates who are qualified can't convincingly demonstrate that given the time constraints and pressure etc.

It is hard to get into FANG for college new grads, it is even harder if you're trying to break into the tech industry from outside without the schedule flexibility and focused community support of a top tier university. It is possible but you need a combination of high ability, strong drive, and luck.

At my FANG, we've made some interviewing changes over the past 5 years such that these days you'd spend at least 20% of your day interviewing talking about what you worked on and achieved and how you solved problems, whereas in the past it would be entirely at your interviewer's discretion and typically only be a few minutes of unscored small talk.

FANG is an interesting life experience and it pays well, but plenty of people find it is not all it is cracked up to be. Just as in every job, a lot depends on the particular people you work with and whether you enjoy the particular problems you are solving. So maybe also consider whether you really need to go FANG (right now) or whether you could be just as happy at a place that's willing to take a more individual approach on hiring. That place could even be a stepping stone to reach FANG later on if that's what you want to do later.

The parent isn't arguing against paying for software, they're arguing against the subscription model.

I was a professional designer once. I happily purchased Adobe software to do my job; it was the best out there. Adobe switched to a subscription model and I no longer use their products. Thankfully, alternatives have presented themselves, and there are now capable software suites that I can pay a fair price for.
What isn't surprising, because up to now, grid storage was only profitable in very few niche cases, and for a very short time. Besides, there has been no government program to invest on those.

So you are saying that there is some business that has always been certain to lose money, and had never had government help, and nobody ever invested on it. And you are using this fact to suggest that in the near future, when that business will become needed and profitable, nobody will invest on it either... what isn't a conclusion one can make.
Has anyone ever done an actual detailed comparison of unsubsidized nuclear vs. unsubsidized wind/solar? I’d love to see a breakdown of not just dollar costs, but environmental impacts like how much land is required, wildlife affected, supplies acquisition, lifetime of the equipment, disposal of waste/worn out parts, etc.
Does that strike you as a reason for privacy for no one, or privacy for all? I lean (strongly) to the latter.
I think that's likely because the quality of electronic components coming out of China has improved considerably while still being less expensive than manufacturing locally.

As other commenters note, there are methods of getting power down from orbit and I understand them to be viable, at least in theory.

But my point was primarily as a means of producing energy for industries and people that are stationed off Earth. For a space habitat, solar is just ridiculously good compared to the alternatives.
Moreover, how to keep that from being intentionally weaponized, assuming that it is strong enough to cook people alive.
When you say engineering, you are referring to actual engineering right?, e.g. civil, mechanical, etc
That's a fairly routine response for consumer support, unless you have a big expensive support contract I'm not sure why you would expect more than "We're tracking it, thanks for the report".

> Can't it be manufactured to the same beauty using wood from today's trees?

I work with wood, and I'd like to think the answer is yes. While bog oak does have a special beauty to it (I can't think of another wood that's similar), most wood species have their own special qualities, and I wouldn't say that bog oak is inherently any more beautiful than walnut/cherry or many other varieties.

Bog oak is notable for its rarity and difficulty in handling. This drives up the cost and makes it coveted. But beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.
If Chrome operated that way, we would still have broken locks on mixed-content SSL pages and no warning at all on non-SSL pages. The fact is, an attempt at security is better than no attempt at all, and visibly marking the insecure option as less secure is better than pretending security doesn’t exist unless it’s implemented 100% as expected (lock icon appears, etc.)
I don't understand your argument. The joke is meant to be illustrative of the problem, to inspire empathy in an otherwise unempathetic party. This requires an understanding of the unpleasantness of the situation. If I did not communicate that unpleasantness, then the desired effect is not achieved.

Before women were allowed to work the few women that did pursue higher education were basically expected to marry immediately after graduation. There was absolutely zero expectation that you would work a job relevant to your education because you were supposed to be a housewife who is busy with her kids. The biological aspect is probably the biggest driving force.
Super clear analysis and presentation of the core problem in group messaging today. Your visuals made the post so easy to read.

I’m not sure the conclusion applies for all cases. It may too easy to get lost in a thread behind an attachment.

Once I got used to it, iMessage’s UX has held up best (posting twice — once in focused thread and again in main thread). Not sure actual post has to happen in both places, but at least the activity should, otherwise there’s too high a risk to lose something or to have context switching set too high a friction bar.
What does it mean to be made in the US? Did the components of the components come from China; if so, is that motherboard made in the US because they put the Chinese-made electronics together in the US?

And that applies to other areas. China does tons of industrial manufacturing for materials that are subsequent inputs to other products - the chemistry to create your medicines might happen in the US, but it's nearly certain that a big fraction of the reagents used came from someplace in China.
Academic grades measure skills that are only applicable at entry level jobs that are about following simple known rules. I knew many female students in school and college that got top marks on every subject, and yet they were mediocre in real life and never achieved much 10 years after graduation. I think that's precisely because their patience to follow silly rules didn't help them to compete in the world where there are no rules. On the other hand, I also knew many guys from the same classes who absolutely sucked at every subject except one or two where they shined and they have made impressive careers.

Yep. Quant finance has a very similar culture to FAANG companies when it comes to interviewing style. Yet practically every one in the field just realises that's how the game works, does some practice and gets on with it. No one likes going through this process, but once you realise that well-paying, prestigious jobs just require you to take a roughly standardised, undergrad-level test, it almost feels like cheating.
