Why You’re Wrong About Nuclear Power

That's the thing though, there was plenty of inflation while on the "gold peg", e.g. 4.19% in 1968 alone. You could make the argument that central banks have done a better job of controlling inflation since making it a specific target. They could probably reduce the target close to zero with better financial technology in the future.

The wtf 1971 site presents national debt and growing inequality as problems created by coming off the gold standard, I'm saying that if you do think those things are problems, pegging your currency to gold won't resolve them.

Something like a government budget deficit cannot effectively be solved with monetary policy; they have to borrow their money just like everyone else (apart from a few special emergency arrangements). Reducing wealth inequality requires a broad range of policies, from education to taxation.

the world would be a better place if governments don't have control over the currency I have a lot of sympathy for anarcho-capitalist schemes, and of course private money predates central bank money so that would be nothing new. There's no economic reason why a country should necessarily form an optimum currency area. So I'd be happy with that, so as long as we don't just peg it to some arbitrary thing.

The value of all money lies inside minds and not mines.
All of these JavaScript frameworks are recreating native runtimes on top of “standard” JavaScript engines. It seems wrong to me to tailor a JavaScript engine to a particular framework. Ideally the goal would be to move native framework-less JavaScript forward so that we don’t need all these over-complex competing frameworks.
There are professionals, I don't know how it works at suez but we have people called "Havarie Kommisar", they are the guys brought in by insurances to document and certify accidents involving transportation.
I love this post. Just some facts and a few reasonable opinions about a topic. It seems so grounded. It's like I asked someone very smart what they thought about edge computing.
Not to mention all of the EKS/GKE integrations that pretty much everyone on the platform uses. Things like EFS backed persistent volumes, ALB backed ingress, ELB backed service load balancers, etc. You need some way to abstract over the different stacks because you can’t just deploy your YAML to any Kubernetes distribution and have it work properly.
What is the use case here?

Why deal with the cap gains taxes associated with this?
This makes no sense:

- How are they hiding if they are getting criticised anyway (including here).

- UK is getting AZ vaccines at very low price like everyone else.

More likely they haven't applied because Halix plant doesn't meet EMA standards. So either EMA standards are unreasonable (as others are happy) or AZ (or a contractor) have messed something up.

And nationalized by who - they are Anglo / Swedish - so 50% UK / 50% EU?
Signal has given some, probably very little, support to the Ubuntu Touch port now known as Axolotl.

LOL. I remember a curbside valve job I did fifty years ago after I blew a head gasket. I think I had the hood up a total of four hours - two hours remove, two hours replace.

Chevy V-8s are easy and there were no emission controls in those days to clutter things up.

Ask HN: How to Find Project Buddies?
I'm looking to start a new project on the Solana blockchain, and would like to work with a Rust developer to implement the backend. There's no budget yet aside from my time and effort, but if we get an MVP of the backend done then I will happily hire a freelance frontend guy to get us a matching frontend MVP.

Any idea where I could find a teammate like that?

Thanks.

sounds like you are legit cool
kind of a tricky topic. a lot of modifications people make to their vehicles are not legal to begin with (emissions, noise, "stancing"), and a lot of that is for legitimate safety reasons. especially with tunes, people know this and flash their ECU back to stock before going in for state emissions tests. but anyways, there is a subset of white people that also enjoy modding their cars or simply doing the routine maintenance themselves. there is certainly a stereotype about a certain kind of white person that has multiple non-functional cars rusting away on their front lawn.

all of this is not to say that that particular law at that particular place and time wasn't racially motivated.
And this is a potentially huge security issue. Think about all the systems software that relies on Python packages.

> Gold has a use

But I won't be happy if people stop buying gold and all I can do with it is sell it to some electronics manufacturer for 1% of the price I paid for it.

Agreed, so nothing new.
Gecko is already effectively lost -- the groups doing cutting-edge work were cut back in August. We're just watching the implosion.

I switched from Firefox to Brave in October and suggest others do the same. Personally, I believe Brave would indeed "deep-fork" the Chromium codebase if necessary, and I'd guess there's a significant chance that other Chromium-based browsers would use it in preference to a submarined upstream.
You completely missed the point, which is that you fundamentally don't understand how these things work.

> Joint as I said; and it's not rocket science so I'm getting a little annoyed; is when two separate cores work on the same real-time task that shares memory, most software 1) does not do this yet because it's hard 2) most programmers don't learn this because 1).

That's just parallelism. What do you think openMP does? It is a fork-join model and is the easiest method of parallel programming because reading data that isn't being written to is trivial.

> For example Erlang, Rust and Go are terrible at sharing memory because they have simple memory models, they solve parallelism by synchronizing hard and slow with copying and locks.

This is not true. Again you are not understanding the fundamentals of what a system language like rust does.

https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/sync/atomic/

> And yes games today have 10 frames of motion-to-photon latency, I measured it myself.

I measured it and it was 1 frame

> Until you show me something joint parallel you have done and preferably proven (with say 450 concurrent real-time action users on one machine); I'm calling this settled, your arguments are thin! (also why am I arguing with a user called dildo?!)

None of this has to do with validating the things you have said. If you can use the concurrent data structures then that's good, that's what they are there for.

I think you have a very warped idea of what you actually understand. Cars get people where they want to go but getting your driver's license doesn't mean you can design an engine.
A Google Account integration is an easy and relevant MVP for your product. It allows you to get up and running quicker. You can always add other integrations and self-hosted user management later as you prove out your business model.

I'll agree, and add that it's not clear that people really want privacy. Not that we've been given a choice, but the very first thing that the major players are going to say is that people want the all knowing experience that Google and FB provide.

I understand that advances at LHC rely on a huge amount of people and it would be cumbersome if everyone was fighting to get on papers rather than contributing technically. But once you get above a few hundred authors - outside the team that might understand and care what the paper is about, I'm not sure I'd value everyones or anyones contribution, if I was hiring that person into a new research position

Perhaps its lucky I don't work in physics funding or recruitment.
Explaining your Postgres query performance
I'm not sure I could disagree more.

I'd phrase it more like "ORMs are as popular as they always were, most DBs today are SQL DBs, same as always, and the only recent change in the last 10 years is people have stopped speculating that NoSQL is going to replace SQL DBs, and accepted they will be, at most, specialised tools for niche uses.".

Obviously that's just my subjective opinion, but the Stack Overflow 2020 dev survey (https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2020#technology-da...) has it MySQL, Postgres, MS SQL Server, SQLite, MongoDB. DB Engines (https://db-engines.com/en/ranking) has it as Oracle, MySQL, MS SQL Server, Postgres, MongoDB, and in both cases there's a STEEP falloff after the top couple entries.

I'm not sure either of those is a super reliable source, but I don't know of any better ones.

I like well written documentation. Well written documentation will show me all the capabilities of a thing, the inner workings, all the possible variables and options, along with real world examples of configuring, debugging, tuning. If that is missing from the documentation, I go looking for real world implementations, example configurations, learned caveats this will rarely be in documentation, tips and tricks for things you can do that are outside the intended purpose. An example of well written documentation is the Apache HTTPD project [1]. They have all possible configuration directives, even include documentation for modules they did not create and provide defaults along with example configurations for most directives.

From my perspective we measured by deadlines missed/hit.

We hit all, so no measurable loss on productivity.

How is it not the will of the market? I don’t see any option other than to limit people’s freedom to move about the city/state/country.

> asteroid hypothesis for the mass extinction of the dinosaurs have passed from wild theory to accepted fact

We should NEVER accept a hypothesis as fact because that makes people stop thinking or searching for answers. And there’s no way we can even definitively say something that happened tens of millions of years ago actually happened.

I personally think it was an asteroid too, but I never want to be arrogant enough to think it’s a closed case now. For example, it could have been the switching of the poles causing cosmic radiation to cause mass extinction, similar to why the Neanderthals disappeared and there would be no way for us to know.
I imagine the scanning would be rate-limited on per-repo basis.

Intel to step up chip manufacturing with $20bn plants
>If tickets were sold at $1, you'd certainly see A LOT more scalping going on, wouldn't you?

Not necessarily - you're discounting the effectiveness of anti-scalping measures. (And moreover, scalpers are always incentivised to scalp as many tickets as possible, because they are then put in the situation of controlling the market price with reduced supply, so that they can jack up prices).

If in fact anti-scalping works effectively, then the market price of the ticket in a fair auction can be completely independent of the original price it was sold at.

If demand is high enough, you can even have people who can only buy tickets because of the fixed price - if even 20% of customers are willing and able to pay far above the retail price for a ticket, they would in an auction snap up all the tickets, because PAX is oversubscribed by 5-to-1.

Seriously, how does any and all of this(along with the whole idea of HOAs) mesh at all with the "land of the free" idea that Americans are constantly broadcasting to the world. It's meant to be the most "free" country in the world and yet so many people are happy to live in communities that restrict them severely in what they can do with their own property. How is the response to any of this anything other than "mind your own damn business?"

I came across this video yesterday. I’ve felt for a long time that nuclear energy is the most obvious full measure solution to stopping global warming and moving to zero emissions. I understand there is some inherent fear of the potential danger of active nuclear reactions, but I’ve personally had to come to grips with this fear as every nation in the world sits on top of at least a small pile of nukes.
Pfizer seems to have a history of corruption - https://iclg.com/cdr/competition-and-business-crime/pfizer-p...

Keep in mind that AZ vaccine is not for profit so bureaucrats do not have many ways to make money from it and in their interest is pushing more expensive ones. This way you can explain the wave of fake news about blood clots and individual countries stopping vaccinations with AZ and scaring the public.
One thing I learned from reading about this is that Rotterdam is the destination of a large amount of China to Europe trade.

As much as I love remote work, part of me wonders how much of this is a temporary effect. Yes, we can take a functional in-person organization and transition it to remote. But now as time marches on and that organization needs to change and grow and learn, will that be as effective remote as it is in-person?
Thanks for your answer and the links.

It doesn't necessarily have to be web development. During my apprenticeship I worked on technical apps (for example, one Delphi app I wrote calculated and printed some common sheet metal unwindings for the internal locksmith shop), and that was also interesting.

Those all all vague, hand-wavey concepts; open to disagreement, and in some cases might turn out not to exist or make sense. Entire research careers have been spent trying to even define these terms, let alone implement them.

Focusing on compression of a particular chunk of Wikipedia eliminates all of that, and gives us a precisely measurable quantity.

Stages were all before 500k revenue. So maybe the very successful ones did have their mvp built by someone else, but I just didn't encounter them.
As far as proper hand-off concerns - yes, I've seen companies usually deal professionally with their hand-off. That's what their reputation depends on. But the idea of the MVP is not necessarily the product - it's more the first attempt at seeing if you can solve something. Next steps are usually hard to follow up. Seeing as you just do the minimal, you leave out so many things that later on it's just hard to improve on it.
I'd want my co-founder to be part of all the initial learning, and so would rather stay put in my job and find a passionate co-founder first before having someone build the mvp.
good luck!

Human beings didn't evolve to sit in a chair at a desk for 6+ hours daily. What's your point?
I worry that MBAs of other companies will take the lessons learned from Silicon Valley WFH and misapply them.

Silicon Valley has high salaries and very long commute times. But how does this apply to medium sized cities with low commute times and lower salaries?

How much more productive will employees be if they don’t have a dedicated office and if their commute time was like 15 minutes instead of the 2 hours someone from Silicon Valley may spend?

How productive is it for workers who have to work from home in their bedroom?

I’ve noticed this split in opinion from higher ups who have higher pay and thus have large, finished home offices versus others lower on the totem pole who don’t.

Also, I think WFH tends to isolate and stovepipe employees even more than they already were, which is a problem especially in larger organizations.

And the odds of fortuitous interactions drops dramatically while the latency for some red tape processes increases as well, since you have to fight an email chain with people with more and more disparate work schedules (and less tacit knowledge transfer and trust-building).

I think the narrative of WFH success is in many ways driven by the people for which WFH is a godsend due to really long commute times or having poor office workplaces (like open plan) and who either function well with very little guidance or who don’t but dislike the guidance.

But it’s potentially a lot cheaper up front not to have offices, just like open plan offices were cheaper, so I fear MBAs may discount these drawbacks and make WFH the default in many, many places where it’s a bad idea.

(Still a huge fan of having the option of WFH, but there have been massive productivity losses in my workplace from strict WFH requirements... in part because we do a mix of fundamentally physical lab work, not just sitting in front of a computer.)
The point was: if it doesn't change the duopoly then who will write apps for the open platform? Not banks. Not governments. They will keep on developing only for Android and iOS.

> Tesla's terms and conditions say if a refund is needed, it can pay in either the exact amount of Bitcoin paid or in US dollars based on the dollar price of the car - whichever it wants.

Fascinating.
Honestly I think the loss of humans just talking to others is the primary cause of most of our modern problems.
I've had the pinephone from the start and while I've seen great progress in general in getting this closer to being a daily driver, I feel a lot of effort has been made getting various orthogonal distributions/stacks ported to this platform which I feel is fracturing the ecosystem.

I'm by no means a mobile app developer but if I wanted to dabble in making a small app, I'd be confused which stack to use and which distributions it would be compatible with.
