Concurred! As we release extraordinary amounts of CO2 supporting cryptocurrency, we must consider the moon just watching us from afar feeling left out and begin missions to the moon to scatter garbage across the face of it, simultaneously the politicians can take credit for investing in future jobs for janitors to go to the moon and clean it all up.
France gets 70% of its power from nuclear - is there any discussion of how France approaches risk?

Would funding the NRC from the amount of nuclear energy being produced not just be an incentive to relax restrictions? I understand that's partly the point. But is there a danger that regulation could end up being too lax?

Is there any evidence that the increasing regulatory demands on nuclear in the US were a result of lobbying by representatives of other energy sources?
I really think the market is due for a culling. All around me I see people invest in stocks, pennystocks and crypto. I've had to explain to people, who own a few thkusands in crypto, about what a wallet is and how it works. I see people who don't know the difference between debit and credit tell me why Tesla is such a great buy. People who don't know who Adam Smith is. Then there's a few hundred thousand people "investing" (gambling) through /r/wallstreetbets. In my country never have more houses been purchased by investors than ever before. In my personal circle I see people jump through the craziest hoops to get the maximum mortgage possible. Everyone is just leveraged to the tits and I feel like we're in crazy town now. Wonder what happens when the bond yields rise... Or maybe it's just me and I've spent a bit too much time on the internet.
What server-side options do we have for QUIC?
> "live by that situation indefinitely"

It's an unfortunate reality that it's become impractical to match this advice in all circumstances. When I was young I found that

a) I had to live within an hours drive of a city with jobs to get jobs in that city
b) There were 1/100th to 1/1000th the number of jobs available if I stayed with my family.
c) Minimum rent + student loan payments + heating bills exceeded what an "easy" job could cover.

I ended up not paying the student loan debts for about a year and recking my credit, but I was ultimately able to get a job. People with mortgages, families, or other fixed expenses can likewise not stay unemployed forever in the modern world.

As an experienced hire, if you take a big down-level for expedience employers will question it in the future.
From TFA:

> Since the U2F device creates and stores asymmetric key pairs, and is able to sign arbitrary “challenges”, can I use it as a general-purpose hardware key store?

You can however do it "the other way round" and use a private key to derive a U2F path. And that same private key can be used for many other applications (or none). For example you can use the Ledger Nano S (originally a cryptocurrencies hardware wallet), which has an HSM, with your "seed" (say a 256-bit secret, stored as 24 words you hide), to log in sites using U2F.

Additionally as long as you've got your secret, you can reinitialize your Nano S (or another one) as a new U2F device and there's no need to reset your U2F credentials on the site as the newly initialized device shall work exactly as if it was the old one.

Fun fact: the CTO of Ledger was part of the group working on the original FIDO specs.
This is the simplest and probably correct explanation. I'm sure there are others out there too.

Of course volume today is off the hook, lol
Epic games published this as a PR move. Nothing more, nothing less. Customers got mad because Epic fucked up so they had to say something to make it seem complex and totally reasonable.

“We made a bad bet on certs not being that important, it backfired” doesn’t sound good but it’s the truth.

The same thing happened when Delta got wiped out by a power outage. “We made a bad bad bet on geo redundancy not being important, it backfired” wasn’t good enough for them either so they pontificated just like Epic did here.

It’s obvious that Epic doesn’t take certificates very seriously here. This is cert management 101. No need to read into it much further.
I tested it on desktop chrome while imitating a mobile device and it doesn't work there either.
Man, I’ve been trying to get these for a couple of years!
FWIW, I've been blocking all 3rd party cookies in Firefox for years.
Tesla (and Time) hold them as a speculative asset. Keeping a percentage of a corporate treasury in bitcoin is speculation, but possible a reasonable one. Allowing the mixture of funds that people opt to pay you in to determine your corporate allocation of assets seems a bit careless.
Thank you, I have never seen that explanation and it certainly maps to behaviors that I've seen.
I may be wrong (its been a long time since I read it, and it may be just something that fits really well thematically with the book but wasn’t actually in it), but I think that was Michael Crichton’s Congo, not a Steven King book.
Epic doesn't pay below market rate. They can't offer stock because they aren't public but offer cash bonuses 2x-4x salary.

I do agree with OP that (some) game developers undervalue IT. Oculus had a similar and pay rate was equal to FAANG (because it is FAANG!), so it came from culture, not pay.
Or they just continue blocking UDP and browsers fall back to http1/2

Interestingly, and I don't see this argument often, this situation can also turn into a rich get richer. If market information, political information, educational information are all hidden behind paywalls, the haves can afford information, and the have nots are kept ignorant. How can one perform their civic duty without accurate information? How can one invest in equities without up to date information?

I see this as making a strong case for more put into entities like PBS, CPB, BBC etc and for Libraries paying for access for their citizens.
More news from livestream: this contract covers two landings. A test landing and a single crewed landing. A new competition is opening immediately for subsequent landings.

SpaceX will have a huge leg up on the competition for the next competition, but if the Senate ponies up with more cash we might get two companies selected for the next contract like was desired for this one.
Mostly yes. It's a niche product with low demand and relatively high R&D costs, so margins have to offset that.

There's probably also a bit of psychological biases at play, like: "if your HSM is 10x cheaper than everyone else's, it must be crappy and insecure".
Interesting, maybe also the development costs too. They sell way less volume of HSMs compared to the standard keys but the HSM's require I'm sure some very rigorous development and testing.

This!

All the clueless/guerrilla marketing(?) people defending FLoC/(faux de-)CentralizedIDs as an either-or choice for getting rid of 3rd party cookies are disingenuously or maliciously trying to steer the discussion to the wrong direction.

None of that is a requirement to get rid of 3rd party cookie! just like Microsoft Silverlight was not a requirement to get rid of Adobe Flash, no matter how much microsoft employees wanted you to believe that.

People always wonder why our government often sucks so hard at implementing stuff.

Easy solution:

1. Pay fewer people more money
2. Reinstitute civil service exams

I guess this is politically impossible?
It’s worked out ok for scala (though i don’t think anyone cares about it for android). Obviously a lot of code that only works on the JVM, because a lot of people just don’t care about native/js. But most core libraries will have ‘shared’ pure scala code and then have the platform specific implementations in separate folders. This is all fairly standardized with sbt plugins to do all the heavy lifting.

From the app side you just don’t use classes that you can’t use?

It will be interesting to see how things like Valhalla and Loom will pan out.

The 3 month limit from Let's Encrypt was a blessing to me, as it forced me to monitor and automate all the renewals.

I renew once a month, and if things should break, I have a two month window to fix the issues.

Before that I would receive a Comodo SSL Certificate once a year via email and until then I always had forgotten what I had to do with it. What an unnecessary pain.
For what it’s worth, the hosts of NPR’s Planet Money regularly disclose their union memberships when talking about the topic.
I have recently improved my rural multi-LTE setup by means of OpenMPTCPRouter [1]. MPTCP does a really great job at aggregating multiple paths for better throughput and reliability. Problem is, QUIC can’t do this, and while multipath QUIC exists [2], right now it’s more of a research project.

I’m afraid I’ll have to block UDP/443 at some point to prevent browsers from downgrading to 1/3 of available throughput...

Solar doesn't fit your paradigm at all.
Hello, it's not like every venue will be hard pressed to accommodate QUIC quickly, right?

Please consider that today, in 2021, IPv4 is still the only thing supported in many venues. It took almost 20 years for IPv6 to become universally supported by Operating Systems, ISPs, providers, etc, but still you have to have IPv4.

And I dare say IPv6 was much much more critical to have than QUIC.

But having said all that, what is there to allow in QUIC? Isn't it just using UDP?
Sounds like the problem isn't collectors so much as whatever incentives Wizards is setting up, then (along with Wizards's refusal to reprint the cards).

... which itself is extremely interesting if you leave aside its "dog" icon: it has the same UI as BTC, it is based on the same software, but with more digits (no need for satoshis as the smaller unit), lowest prices (people do not want to own fractional number of a coin like 1/100 of a BTC, they want integers), widely available on most exchange due to having existed for a long time...

There is a strong usecase, at least as strong as LTC.
Disagree with this post. All it’s saying is “goodreads dominates the Google sales channel” and any startup founder will tell you there a dozen alternatives to that channel. This is absolutely not the reason goodreads hasn’t been replaced.

I have tried all the alternatives that have been launched and I think they are all a bit rubbish. Add that to network effects and there’s just no reason to switch.

Why hasn’t anyone produced anything vastly superior? Because there’s no strong business model to justify a lot of VC investment and attention.

Amazon owns the online book market, so to make money from selling books you’re not competing with Goodreads but with Amazon.

There are lots of alternative solutions to the business model and related problems and it is very much possible to wipe out goodreads, but (1) there are many more attractive businesses to start rather that are easier to do, and (2) anything that gains traction could be met by huge investment in goodreads by Amazon or else will just be bought at an early stage for spare change.
Expert: Neuralink Could Sell Your Private Thoughts to the “Highest Bidder”
Yes, Apollo 11 had humans on the first actual landing but they previous Apollo missions included "dress rehearsal" flights that did almost everything but touch down. It was not just launch and land the first time with people. Incremental steps along the way. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_10

It's an anwser to "You use Java because it is low risk". I just don't think it's immune in any way.
Which is... slightly baffling. Blue Origin doesn't have much of a track record actually getting stuff into orbit, but with Bezos's backing, you'd think the one thing they would have is flexibility on the payment schedule...
Here’s a list of implementations. There’s quite a few backend (either servers or server libraries.)

I wonder why both mechanisms could not be in place simultaneously.

E.g. brain can run on glucose or on ketones; muscles can run on oxygen producing CO₂ or without it producing lactic acid, etc. The body has a number of alternative mechanisms, this may be another such pair.

It's a meaningless flag to gather behind, not something they ever wanted to actually do. They can shout their support because they know the Democrats will stop it and thus fall into the "bad guy" role. It's a wedge issue now.

This kind of revisionist statement is why people are suspect of people saying "it's bad, but not all that bad". They are usually lying about lots of things, when they supposedly have the facts on their side.

Many of the barriers are due to simple game theory. If a project mischaracterizes or has an unlikely event that results in a leak, you cannot take it back. The damage is done and likely is out of the project's control, to some degree.
How Coining a Phrase Can Lead to an Inigo Montoya Moment

I didn't sign up for a goodreads account. I was given one. And it's sharing my email address with third parties by default.

That's scummy company behavior.
Companies with 1000s of people have been remote forever. I worked at Autodesk in a team across two multinational companies which on our side were through Toronto to us in Iceland and on to Shanghai. If you think big teams aren’t distributed you’ve not worked in a big team.
Your description of ideal working conditions sounds so robotic to me. Schedule everything! No off the cuff conversations! Screw the human desire for socializing, we've got shit to do!

Right now my team is comprised of no one that I've met in person. I feel absolutely no connection to them and feel so incredibly disconnected from my work. Like I've been playing the same video game for 8 hours a day for a year and nothing I'm doing is real.

I'm quite scared of hybrid or full remote solutions for my company. I don't want to switch companies right now but if they go full or hybrid WFH I might have to, just to keep my sanity.
Security Bug Allows Attackers to Brick Kubernetes Clusters
> When I hear folks complain about the pains of working from home, what I often hear are their stories about how they were needlessly disruptive to their coworkers.

What I hear are complaints about the consequences of the pandemic. That people have to work and babysit their kids during school. That both they and their partner are forced to share a workspace. That they miss changes of scenery, or that their home workspace isn't adequate enough to get work done.

Before the pandemic, I would regularly rotate venues for where I got my work done. I'd go to different coffee shops and libraries. If I got bored of those places, I'd make it a point to go into different venues in different neighborhoods. When it was nice and warm out, I'd get work done in beach towns and enjoy the sea breeze. Several times a year, I'd book a hotel or short-term rental and work from a completely different city. At one point I rented a co-working space.

During the pandemic, most of those places are closed. I can't travel, and I don't want to. If I want to enjoy the sea breeze, I better have enough battery life and reception to get my work done in a park. Yet I'm lucky in that I'm not forced to share my personal work space at home with others, and I'm not forced to be a babysitter on top of the job I'm paid to do.
Tunneling over TCP has problems. (The article you linked mentions this as well.)

This TCP meltdown problem is especially prominent in public WiFi networks where they often like to dramatically limit the bandwidth to the clients that connect to their network. So UDP tunneling will work much better there.

That’s why I am excited about maybe finally having tunneling over UDP be a reality on public networks in coffee shops and libraries in the future thanks to HTTP/3 and QUIC where historically the mentioned kinds of networks have often been blocking basically all UDP traffic except DNS.
People who have an unenjoyable commute, like stop-and-go-traffic, probably feel this way. But people who commute while exercising (bicycle riders) or consume books/podcasts/news while commuting probably wouldn't be so inclined.
Perhaps? Delta-v from the surface of the moon to orbit is about 1.6 km/second, though debris from a landing would be approximately instantaneous thrust, which doesn't allow insertion into an orbit.
Most people are not going to invest 100% of their savings in things like stock market (most people might be 60/40 or less).

>I am saying that mosquitos, and their negative side effects, play some role in the ecosystem and eradicating them entirely sounds suspiciously like fucking with the firmware too much.

Would you say the same about diseases and pandemics?

There are plenty of things humans do that sound suspiciously like "fucking with the firmware too much", but I don't think many would argue that eradicating polio or fighting cancer or HIV are bad things. And even the "side effects" excuse would apply here too, because letting those people pass on their genes to their offspring potentially interrupts the "natural ecosystem" and introduces weak links into the gene pool.

But there are plenty of good reasons for why this line of thought would not gather much sympathy or consideration these days.

That was my thought process exactly for the first half of the film. Really pissed me off that he had this "woe is me my life is so empty" while having this dream job and living in paradise. Like, WTF dude? See a therapist. What softened me was the storytelling: it's a feelgood formula and I'm a sucker for that. I believe one could have easily re-narrated this film to make the octopus terrified, we have no real way to know. Sorry you're getting downvoted, but I agree with you. Some people just want to see a happy narrative, even if it has a dark side. But definitely bursting at the seams with privilege and questionably misleading ethics.
Just because a film can make a large positive emotional response doesn't mean it was a good film, just as a film that can make a large negative emotional response is a bad film.

I think GP was criticizing the cheap, low-hanging feelgood duct taped onto the end. It doesn't make the film better.
