> We are trying that since 66 years, since the first nuclear power plant.

Evidently not very hard, as I've seen in my home state of California. Any nuclear development gets constant fierce pushback, and if it does somehow come to life, every last issue with it becomes yet another reason to kill it in the crib.

If we were earnestly trying to achieve energy independence, then Rancho Seco (near where I grew up) would've been done right and still operational, rather than half-assed and doomed to fail.

> If it were commercially viable and scalable, it would thrive by now.

Ah yes, the "two economists walking down the street and there's a dollar bill on the sidewalk" argument. Never heard that one before.

Well, I'm pleased to read this. I say that as someone who fell for the schtick, and he made a couple of sales out of me.

He tells a decent story, and you feel like you've learn something after reading him. Scratch below the surface, and it turns out you haven't.
A tangent, but I was exposed to the Galerkin approximation when learning about the Finite Element Method, well over 10 years ago.

As part of the course I got introduced to the FEniCS project[1].

They had Python code looking very much like the math equations generating C++ code at runtime, compiling it into a Python module which got dynamically loaded and executed.

This way they got speeds which rivaled or surpassed handwritten C++, as the C++ code could be optimized around the specific problem, but with superior ergonomics of writing the equations almost directly.

It really blew my mind. I had heard about Java doing JIT but this was on another level for me. Not terribly fancy these days but at the time it really helped me expand my thinking about how to solve problems.

Back then it felt like half of users swore by Norton commander and had to organize files every day for some reason.

The other half just didn’t bother.

My observation is that one of these groups later used Winamp and managed their own music files in some elaborate structure and the other group found that iTunes kept a structure (not perfect, but with zero effort) and loved it.

(There are lots of overlaps here e.g I guess which group is now on iOS and which felt “I’m using Android because it’ll let me manage my own files”?)
I think GP’s comment was more of a rule-of-thumb about Amazon’s breadth.

But the fact that a list of business _not_ engaged in is that short, _and_ that a bunch of subsequent comments dispute a number of them, is freaking insane.
I believe heat is a problem though. A manageable one, but it requires more space.

Nuclear energy is still a fantastic, dense source of energy. I would much,much prefer to live next to a nuclear power plant than a coal or similar one.

If there was a way to generate even cleaner power with such efficiency then great. 25 years ago we had that hope for a few weeks with cold fusion.
Screen time software lacks something
Exactly the same is happening in Hungary. There was a huge educational system developed for schools from extremely huge budget but both the backend and front-end is crap. There was an alternative front-end built similar to the Swedish way but they were forced to shut it down.
It's just where you build software for.
Of software isn't your main product, just needed so you can better make your main product, than open source software can be very helpful for you.
It's a nice way to help each other, and it doesn't change your profit.

But if software is your main product, than is open source very hard to pay your bills.

Also if you build software for a company, very few will pay for something that will be shared to everybody.
But I know a hospital that pay to write software for some hardware on Linux, and share it as open source so all hospitals that use that hardware with Linux can use it.
That is helping other people if you have solve a problem.

Buy indeed, open source isn't a business model, but a way of life.
Yes, the best lies are based mostly in truth with a key substitution. And, it is a novice's mistake to keep babbling. The best liars are the ones who must do so their entire lives in order to survive.

To be honest, I do the opposite: I intentionally play with random people by telling them truths in a manner that comes across as lying.

I agree with you in the case where a union was already in place when you joined. I'm talking about the situation where a new union is proposed in your current workplace.

You could equally say to any workers at Tesla who want to establish a union. Work somewhere else.

I reported a bug to a neighboring team. They responded to try again and they would revert back tomorrow. So I asked whether they had applied a quick fix and they would undo the fix tomorrow?

So then I learned a new meaning of revert that is not related to “svn revert”.
The article I originally read was years ago and was about Burger King, but I'd imagine the same idea holds. You'd buy up land that wasn't worth much yet, build a restaurant on it in the meantime, and 40 years later it's way more valuable. There's also a nice little synergy that building fast food causes more surrounding to retail to be built, increasing your land value faster.

Here's one I was able to find on McDonald's:

When studying sculpture a tutor talked to me about people making “things that look like art”, which really stuck with me - they made objects that mimicked what they thought art should be like, but had a kind of conceptual hollowness. I think Malcolm Gladwell is similar in that he produces content that has the appearance of science, but once you start digging it doesn’t hold up. A bit like a version of “truthiness”, except that in his case it’s “scienciness”.
I don't know so much about Ikea, but that's definitely a known strategy for Costco, with it's $1.50 hot dogs in the food court, and also $5 chickens.
These PFLOP measurements aren't very comparable. Benchmarks are probably the best way to see which chip is better. For example, Cerebras claims ~1PFLOPS, but has not put out any numbers showing that that actually is the case, on standard machine learning models such as ResNet, Transformers, or others. Their hardware is basically DoA.

If George Goros did only one percent of what he is accused of by conspiracy theorists he would already be one of the most effective world leaders ever.

I get the mental need for conspiracy theories to have satisfying but ultimately unprovable and nebulous actors that enact the acts theorised about; lizard people? Sure great. A worldwide paedosexual cabal? Why not. But George Soros? Is it the combination of being rich, Jewish, progressive, somewhat influential, and also foreign enough to pin on any theory one likes? I guess the name-dropping by nationalist autocratic leaders doesn't help either.
It is unreasonable to equate imposing something upon others and "imposing" nothing upon others. When all else is equal, the higher bar ought to be placed upon the imposition of additional layers of bureaucracy in other people's lives.
This is flatly illegal and in violation of their charter. The US state is becoming more desperate as they violate their own rules to hunt our own citizens using military intelligence.
I put away my robe and wizard hat.
Because there's a LOT of people out there who have slow mobile data or poor signal strength. I think assuming that everyone everywhere has extremely fast internet is a bad assumption. Also there's an enormous amount of bloat in package sizes now, I don't think this really should be as bad as it currently is.
The NSA can attack foreign assets without compromising a single american asset. Mind you, I'm playing devil's advocate here to understand the reasoning. The NSA is abhorrent to me.

You don't need to use delete explicitly to control the lifetime of objects in C++. A properly placed "}" or a call to something like .release() can be just as effective. The problem is, there is simply no way to do it in a GC language.
I am really fond of Dorsey's attitude (the words too, as quoted at least). Myself having very little respect for most congresscritters from either party, it is really refreshing to see this displayed so brazenly. "You are stupid and this meeting is useless, I'm going to go on my phone."
I did see a cardiologist after COVID-19, he did prescribe some medicine to "calm my heart down a bit", I don't meet actual criteria for tachycardia and he agree in the end that I can postpone medicine if I start any aerobic exercise -- which I still didn't, except for VR games, which can be really intense, but alas, I don't have the time for or discipline.
>...AFAIK, where reprocessing of plutonium from CANDU reactors was used to bootstrap nuclear warhead production.

No, India appears to ave gotten plutonium from a small research reactor, not a CANDU reactor (though it was provided by Canada):

>...The test used plutonium produced in the Canadian-supplied CIRUS reactor, and raised concerns that nuclear technology supplied for peaceful purposes could be diverted to weapons purposes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India_and_weapons_of_mass_dest...

>...CIRUS (Canada India Reactor Utility Services)[1][2][3] was a research reactor at the Bhabha Atomic Research Center (BARC) in Trombay near Mumbai, India. CIRUS was supplied by Canada in 1954, but used heavy water (deuterium oxide) supplied by the United States. It was the second nuclear reactor to be built in India.
It was modeled on the Canadian Chalk River National Research X-perimental (NRX) reactor

> We breed cows so we can exploit them. There is no air quotes around exploit, that's exactly what cows are to us. Resources for our enrichment.

Agreed, but it does not follow that the cows 'feel exploited'.

> Of course reproduction is the quintessential drive of all life. But cows are not reproducing in the wild so that point isn't even relevant. They're artificially inseminated to keep them lactating (in the case of dairy cows).

The fact that they reproduce at all in any conditions is the only value that truly matters in nature. Cows are dependent on humans for reproduction, just as most wild plants are dependant on pollinators.

> As to your edit, we're not talking about bacteria or plants which lack the physical ability for suffering as we know it. We're talking about bovines, huge mammals w/ a brain and central nervous system.

But you claimed the living conditions are irrelevant, as long as the animal is used as a resource it is immoral to keep it alive. That would mean you don't care what the animal actually feels, so the fact that it feels things at all is irrelevant. Hence, the same argument should apply to living things that don't feel anything either, such as bacteria or plants (or, the argument should not be applied at all).
But if we're talking about restaurant business plans, the franchisee has far more claim to being a restaurant.
The former glory was holding colonies by considerable violence. If unions are the ones who stopped it, good. Through I strongly doubt unions had anything to do with that.
So the argument is that attacks can happen too fast to go through the tedious process of FISA courts, but one of their examples is the Solarwinds hack that was ongoing for over a year.

And I don't understand how greater access would have helped with the Exchange exploits, except if the NSA was aware of what zero-days were being used they could contribute their knowledge gained from their exploitation of them.
No, that's not how software works. An attack that works against foreign assets works just as well against American assets, because they run the same software.

So once you have the attack, you know that

(1) The evil Turks have a hole in their defenses, and you can use it to spy on them;

(2) The righteous Americans have a hole -- exactly the same hole -- in their defenses, and you can use it to spy on them;

(3) Everyone else in the world can also spy on the righteous Americans, just like you can.

Now you have to choose whether your job is protecting the Americans or undermining the Turks. You can do exactly one of those things. If you protect the Americans, the Turks will receive the same protection. If you keep silent to let the Turks embarrass themselves, you're also letting the Americans embarrass themselves.

You are free to make any alternative prediction you want. I am not much into fiction, I am more into history.
Actually I say it's the other way around. In academia you're most likely to get caught. The communities are just to small for things to get unnoticed. You have many people reading everything related to the field, so people are likely to notice at some point. I'd say if the imposter would have gone for a PhD it would have come out at the latest.

Judging by some of the revelations in other business it seems not exceptional for people to add things to their cv's they've never done. And it's much less likely to ever come out, because people are less likely to check (and it might also be more difficult to check)
This is great news. People & small companies are entering a market focused on privacy. Graphene OS is also a great project, I hope more people will follow.
Using Abstraction as a Framework for Discussions
Oh right, art elitism as counter example, great. Who gets to define what I see as art? "conceptual hollowness" - that sounds nothing but esoteric to begin with. Reminds me of the (German) "Hurz"... event (https://youtu.be/MJ7jbQJXF68).

I hate posting anything negative but sorry, this was just too much.

Oh and I admit I actually didn't dislike the third of one Gladwell's book I once read, as well as a presentation he gave somewhere about the Norden bombsight. Every single one of the HN haters of him on the other hand remain exceedingly vague and don't really have anything of substance to say, only very over-styled ways to express that they dislike them, or even the man himself.
I think the great problem is "commercial intent". I search the internet multiple times a day, but I rarely want to actually buy something.

Amazon has a win here compared to facebook or Google because if I search for something on Amazon it's vastly more likely I am buying.

It's the difference between asking a sales assistant "do you have good coffee" (amazon), asking a librarian for a book on good coffee (google) and asking my friend if they like their coffee (facebook). Intent and context matter.

I have the exact same opinion about Gladwell.

One day on a flight I started reading his “Blink” when 1/4th of the way I realized he is full of crap.

The realization came after I started noticing a pattern: that he would give an anecdote, or present a situation, explain it a little bit then bam! He would generalize his conclusion to a broader situation. Rinse and repeat.

What a load of junk!

I got introduced to him via his TED talks which I liked. But after reading Blink (1/4th of it), I opened by eyes and stayed away from whatever he said or did.

Not inducement but rather intent. The question would be what the genuine intent of the author was behind the decision to so conveniently choose to place an API boundary right in that particular spot. The precise layout of the API also seems like it would be relevant - if no non-GPL libraries conforming to that particular API existed at the time of the decision, then what would the non-infringing justification be for choosing to implement that specific API in the first place?

(Aside: In Google's case, IIUC the non-infringing justification is code portability. Also, there's the bit where they (re)implemented the entire system - I don't believe they were linking against or otherwise using anything owned by Sun. Other than the API layout itself ... allegedly.)

Presumably questions about the decision making process itself, the technical merit of the final decision, and the state of any alternative implementations would all need to be considered.
I wonder if this would unsettle innocent people as well. Sounds like this would unsettle some non-suspects too
> The evidence speaks for itself.

Not really? There are other countries than the US which have had a significantly larger government (as well as higher taxes), or so called mixed-economies, that did just fine or even great?

It seems rather bad faith to omit such glaring examples when trying to prove a point.

As a side point, there's a discussion to be had regarding economic growth and GDP. Those measurements don't measure the well-being of a society, just economic activity. So we have countries with much lower GDP per capita but much also happier.
I really like this approach - thanks for sharing! It's much easier to follow a Domain Storytelling diagram than the current technical flowcharts we use for domain documentation and visualisation at work.
Yeah, rent and labor alone make up most of the cost involved in restaurant food, the food cost itself is usually marginal. I'd imagine the rent for the space used up by the cafe is decently under what it would be to lease a comparable space on it's own.

>And yes, Taiwan is moving in the direction of closer ties to China.

The US is currently increasing it's military budget to "prevent Chinese invasion of Taiwan" so I don't really agree with that. Even disagreeing there means they cared more about the US than China for the past sixty years.

Luke is a male name. It's about Luke's peers. They are his peers (if they weren't, it wouldn't matter who has influence on them). It's not about their status as Timnit Gebru's peers, so her gender doesn't matter and "his peers" obviously referred to "Luke Stark's peers".
