It would be really interesting to hear how you guys arrived at this model, any testing you did, etc. I see, for example, there's no downvoting. I assume because it didn't model out well.
Yes, I'd much rather that my taxes go to an up-front long term investment than have it blown away reacting to something that could have been prevented!

It's a good investment for taxpayers, unlike subsidizing dino juice.
Foot-and-Mouth disease has a vaccine. I believe burning was for economic reasons: vaccination is expensive; the reproductive cycle (and by extension the population) is essentially human-controlled and the livestock population can recover quickly; and "we don't need to vaccinate" increases livestock sales.
I love Timescale, and the team as well. Good folks. Congrats!
Nuclear is cheaper to operate, so existing reactors mostly keep running. Construction costs are high for nuclear though. Given the current interest rate environment, nuclear should be looking more attractive.
Nuclear power requirements (up front) has also a big issue: the cost of money. The only viable solution is to have state-owned nuclear energy, because only states can borrow cheap money (ie. even at negative rates), where private companies are required to bleed interests during decades.

Nuclear is the cheapest energy when state-owned, but struggle to compete against coal/gaz otherwise.

CSS variables help somewhat with this. Variable values penetrate the shadowroot, so you can effectively build an "api" for styles your component. I've done that a few times, and it's been enough for me to get by in most cases. An example is here: https://github.com/jjcm/soci-frontend/blob/master/components...

I ask this out of ignorance: How is coal heavily subsidized? Do you mean it's subsidized because they're not being charged for the emissions that they generate?

DHH is the CTO, not the CEO. And, like you, most of the Twitter mob had no idea what Basecamp was before starting to call him Nazi, white supremacist, racist, etc.

I didn't know about that and it is certainly interesting, however for my particular use case it wouldn't have worked unfortunately. I was using Tailwind, so rather than targeting specific components from a global style sheet, I was trying to use the utility classes from the global sheet inside a web component.
> The notion that there are large subsidies for fossil fuels is not backed up by the data.

The absence of Pigovian taxes to internalize te environmental externalities is a de facto subsidy equal to the value of the externalized negative impacts (it's paid by society at large through the externalized impacts rather than through government, but the impact is the same.)
> Most of us tech people are good at imagining ways technology might be abused, but we’re not as good at thinking like actual criminals.

I wouldn't limit it to tech people. I hear the same ideas from non-technical folks who are often even more adamant.

And you'd be shocked at how many people don't realize that home burglaries are primarily a daytime activity.

I'm not sure if the fact that most people can't think like a criminal makes me more or less comfortable. :)
Good thing if that happened there would be outrage for a week and nothing actually done about it.
The fact that you start here by assuming the OP has a nefarious plan simply bec you disagree with him politically is the entire issue. You’re willing to believe him when he says what he believes but you won’t believe for the part that you find distasteful. That’s some major mental gymnastics.
Compounding USDA's lax practices has been its refusal to allow beef processors to independently test cattle for mad cow disease. In 2004, Creekstone Farms, a Kansas processor of black Angus beef with a large Japanese clientele, asked for permission to test its 300,000 cattle for BSE using a $500,000 testing site it had built to USDA specifications.

But the agency ruled that the BSE test was licensed only for "surveillance" of animal health, and rejected Creekstone's request because it implied "a consumer safety aspect" that was "not scientifically warranted."

As someone opposed to nuclear power, I agree with both points. Nuclear power cannot exist without subsidies for development, construction and all the externalities.

It can't exist in a free market or a leveled playing field.
No, glyphosphate is used in a lot of different places and is well studied. There are the usual conspiracy theories but the science is pretty strong.
The same multi-tone scheme would generate more than 10,000 combinations for the family emoji. I wonder if it will ever be seriously considered.
I think a better approach is to change some of the regulation. Most of it is good, but some of it is kinda insane. My father worked on nuclear plants in the 70-80's. According to him, from the 80's on it effectively was so much regulation that it was not at all worth building a plant.

With technological advancement, a little change in regulations could go a long way.
From his prior comments, it's clear he was being serious.

I think the problem is that, for security reasons, ClearURLs can't change URLs arbitratily. It can only remove parts of it, so the actual URL would have to be a parameter. See [1] for a relevant comment by the extension's author.

They'll start blocking it straight away since he's part of the lost and banned. Even worse, the career activists will probably contact and pressurise GoDaddy to suspend the domain because Trump, and that's that.

Social media sites like Facebook and Twitter are essentially the problem in the first place. Giving oxygen to mutants on the platform, amplifying their message to enrage, radicalise and manipulate others in these echo chambers to become somewhat emotionally unstable and believe anything they see on the internet.

With them here, it's become even easier to do this and an endless game of whack-a-mole moderation that no one wants to deal with.

Trump isn't the last to be thrown into the lost and banned, but I won't be surprised to see a higher profile official to have the same treatment.

Then I'll see how everyone reacts to it.
Does each user have unlimited votes to give to others? Could a small party spend all their time voting for each other and skew the intention of the site?

Hidalgo was truly a story Hopkins told and the movie was based on that.

Seriously though, I think that movie was what really broke the "based on a true story" thing for me. There's no real criteria for claiming something is based on a true story, you only need a tenuous grasp to reality.

Basically, you can make the claim that Avengers Endgame is just as much based on a true story as Hidalgo if you wanted to.
I love this just for the usability alone, never mind being anti-tracking.

The US government set a standard for space launch risks. I believe it was "for each launch, the chance of killing an innocent bystander must be less than 1 in 10,000".

I suspect this Chinese launch met this standard.

If it crashes to the ground, the chance it hitting someone is still very small - most of the earth is water, and most of the land isn't densely populated.

If that's the case, we can't complain. They met the same rules we would have done.
Or have the government own the plants and lease out operation to a qualified commercial operator with rigorous certification requirements and regular recertification requirements.
Visual Novel analyser: from meaningless source code to a beautiful graph
I finally used my CS knowledge about graphs for a concrete project... Never thought it'll happen for real!

So I made a tool that can draw a graph of the routes of a Visual Novel made with Ren'Py. Very useful for developers who want to manage a large complex project, or curious gamers who want to know the possibilities offered by the game they are playing.

The library is built with Go, the website uses WASM. Let me know what you think about it!
Amazon snooped on Netflix, and built a direct competitor. They’ve done similar to smaller *aaS firms.

In those cases they mostly looked at traffic volume, etc., not private customer data, but I don’t have any insight into which ethical lines they will and will not cross.
Wrapping React components in Web Components has limits you'll quickly hit. Suppose you have two components (in a parent/child relationship) that share context (e.g., you're wrapping react-beautiful-dnd in Web Components-- <Draggable /> and <Droppable />). Each component has it's own ReactDOM.render call, and therefore is its own React VDOM tree with no shared context.

So you can't take existing React libraries and 1:1 map them to web components. That approach only works for 'leaf' components that accept no children.
It doesn't really appear to be a business.

Most of the rest of the world thinks Trump is actually insane. It's probably getting quite difficult to find someone who doesn't, and isn't a white supremacist.
It sounds like you are arguing that we shouldn't pass a law requiring transparency (and providing some legal recourse) in decisions to deny access to public products/services by dominant companies

I suspect you meant to just point out that until such a law is passed, we are unlikely to see transparency.
What is the TCO of nuclear, factoring in waste disposal and eventually cleaning up the site? The one thing Germany learnt from exiting nuclear, is that proper demolishing and removal of nuclear power plants is quite costly. Plus, there's nowhere to safely store the waste.

It should be noted that this extension strips ETag headers from all responses by default, which can break sites in surprising ways. As a developer of a web application that relies on ETag headers for vital functionality, I see not-infrequent support inquiries from ClearURLs users who don't understand the technical ramifications of this feature - nor do they understand why so many of the websites they use are so broken.
Fwiw, the "insane" tweet is something quoted by the tweeter, which is usually not an endorsement; people quote tweets of things they disagree with all the time. The actual text of the tweet reads "And while Trump uses Venezuela to distract attention from the "Russian plot," Maduro uses Trump to increase repression." That's a far cry from thinking him insane.
I know a lot of people are going to poo poo on this as "not a lisp" but I think it makes lisps more approachable for a python programmer who is not used to them.

I used experimented with Hy a few years ago and I felt that it made it easier to write recursive functions (even if python doesn't have tail call optimization). Being able to bind multiple values to multiple variables was nice, and I believe I could get multi-line lambdas in Hy as well. And it wouldn't be great but if someone new Python by not Hy, there was always hy2py to convert your Hy program back to Python. It was also nice to be able to write some sexps but still have the entire python ecosystem.

Doing dataframe manipulation through parens with pandas made me laugh, and while it wasn't always clear how to translate my python code into Hy It was definitely waay easier then learning an entirely new language.

I eventually moved onto Racket after I ran into some issues with Hy being "not a lisp" but Hy certainly made Racket easier for me to grok after playing around with it
Join the club? I mean, if they're doing it for free then we all are - if we're paying then so are they.
Exactly... if you are so valuable that they'd risk burning an exploit for an imperfect chance, there are more effective ways.
That reminds me of people who "learn it all on YouTube."

Maybe it's the best option for some people. Not for me, but I do love an audible book.

In conclusion, I think these other mediums simply lack the iterations that we've put into text over the centuries, leaving text as the clear winner in my book.
> Facebook failed to act when Trump and others (of all political styles) decided to lie about voting, the mechanics of voting, and validity of voting.

Just like members of another political party did 4 years earlier, but they weren't given any warnings or badges or anything. I wonder if it has something to do with that company management is more closely aligned with that party. /s

I don't have a horse in this race, but the lack of objectivity in Trump haters is striking even from the other side of the ocean. Hatred can cloud reasoning, I guess.
> Or am i just being downvoted by people who don't want anybody to know that it's possible to stop this form of tracking?

I think you are confused how this works. Because it would NOT be possible to stop this type of tracking. That is why you are being downvoted. The downvotes are because you are simply wrong, not because there is a conspiracy on HackerNews of people that don't want other people to know that it is possible to stop tracking.

Here's how it works: In the example given above, you only have the url vm.tiktok.com/[short-url-id]. This URL does not represent anything on its own. When you click the link, it goes to a tiktok server that looks up the `[short-url-id]` portion of the url in a database, which contains the actual video id/url that is trying to be shared, along with additional metadata about the share such as the person that shared it and the device the user is coming from, etc. This information is then logged in a data warehouse or sent down a data firehose to eventually perform advanced analytics to TikTok. All of this is happening while you are waiting to get the real url of the video back. Yes it's only a few milliseconds, but by the time you get the url of the video back so that you can actually watch the video, the data has already been logged. Your privacy is already compromised.

So your suggestion is to "unmask" the url and "untrackify" it and then give the user the end-url with the actual video. The problem is that the only way to get the real url and to "untrackify" it, you need to contact TikTok and they will already log the data before you can get the real url back. You can't simply "unmask" it. Only TikTok knows what the real URL is. In order to get the real url you need to ask them (by following the short url link) and they will log your data before they give you the real url. There isn't any way around this (other than not using the vm.tiktok share links).

I am not sure if the "real url" that tiktok gives you contains url parameters in it or not. It probably does. So you could theoretically remove those. For example turn tiktok.com/video-url?sharing_user=username123&device=iphone into tiktok.com/video-url. This would be possible. But it wouldn't do anything to protect your privacy. It would simply remove the "[First Last] is on TikTok" message. But the data already got logged when you exchanged the short-url for the long-url. So the privacy damage has already been done. This is why "unmasking" simply doesn't do anything other than give you the illusion of privacy, without any change to real privacy.

By contrast, when you see a url like cnn.com/news-story-url?utm_source=facebook and you remove the parameters from that type of link, you can actually overt a certain level of tracking because the tracking hasn't been logged yet when you remove the parameters. So removing the params into the link cnn.com/news-story-url and following that, will avoid the tracking because the tracking is done on the actual visit with that specific url. Since you removed the tracking parameters, the website now has no data to actually track.
This seems like the “sufficiently smart compiler” argument. A sufficiently complex compiler could certainly optimize this away, but building and maintaining such a compiler while also keeping compilation times low is an enormous challenge. Rust does an impressive job here, but Rust was built from the ground up to handle these problems and it also trades compile times to achieve those optimizations.
It would be worth scanning its pages (even without reading) to make sure whatever history is in there is saved for posterity.
"Open it and see if there is interest" is the first step in "offer to work to upstream it." Not sure where you got the idea that it's only the former and not the latter.

Conversely industrialized meat production is relatively recent, and so the volume of prion's being introduced into the environment is potentially much higher then the rate at which they are degrading naturally, not to mention the degree of regional cross-mixing of sources.

Prion contamination can now be shipped around the world in about 24 hours, where it can enter new populations much more easily.
I'd encourage you to read my comment in full: over the long run, the balance has swayed, but it's never remained ideologically homogenous in perpetuity. Until 2017, the majority of the Supreme Court was "living Constitutionalist". Now the majority happens to be "Originalist". The only reason we see this ebb and flow over a 200+ time horizon is because there's a system in place to elect judges by the other 2 branches of government.

In contrast, the Oversight Board appears to function like a hypothetical Supreme Court in which the sitting members appoint new members. Imagine, if the 2021 US Supreme Court did that, do you think that its ideological balance would ever shift? Imagine if the 1999 US Supreme Court (majority of the opposite ideology to today's) appointed new members. Do you think its ideological balance would look like the one it has today?

If anything is "pure fantasy", it's the idea that the members of the Supreme Court are partisan ideologues as opposed to jurists that have truly fundamentally different ideas of how the judiciary ought to function, in good faith. It's exactly that kind of diversity of opinions that has resulted in the Supreme Court enjoying the highest approval rating of any institution in the Federal government: https://news.gallup.com/poll/316817/approval-supreme-court-h...

The long-term "waste" is Plutonium. Half-life 24,000 years. We don't want to have to secure it for that long, but we already have tons of it, so the answer is to permanently destroy it, because Plutonium is fissionable. It can be used as reactor fuel.

So the answer for what to do with the waste is to build reactors that use it as fuel. That not only doesn't create more long-lived waste, it gives us a way to get rid of what we already have.
