People often confuse the difference in enrichment needed for weapons and reactors. Typically a reactor is 3% where a weapon is 97%. It becomes significantly harder to create that much enriched uranium which is why experts call Iran's production a bluff. Past their agreed levels, but nowhere near enough for weapons. The whole Iran deal relies on this fact actually.
If you read the article, the data includes information on informants (which is probably a ton). I'd imagine there is Grand Jury information in there as well.

Plus, there is probably personal information (payroll). Not that it matters how much anyone makes (that's probably public record already), but ACH banking details and things like that.

Some of these things we can't really reduce, need to be kept online for significant time frames, and can't be made public.

That being said, I agree that we should plan on having less perfect security (and then design for that sort of world).

This is just to perhaps change return false to something else in the future, correct? Else why not just return false everywhere instead of goto fail
Specific or not (yes many different types of institutions can access these markets), hedge funds are known for taking highly leveraged bets with this overnight cash. There is a huge market for sponsored repo trades.

Should we instead focus on sustainable liquid fuels? Diesel from algae for example?
The explanation offered by Kuryakov (that it was a snow slab that fell on the tent) seems very plausible to me).
They have a fixed reserve ratio, so they can’t “create money” unless more deposits come in. Can you point me to a source supporting that idea that lending from state banks was a main source of inflation?
Actually, there may be a few reasons why legacy truck manufacturers are pushing this agenda:

1) They've been pushing it for a long time and have already invested a lot. Most of that investment is going to have to be written off unless they find a use for all the hydrogen R&D. I note that it is mainly legacy manufacturers pushing this whereas battery operated trucks have a fair amount of startups in advanced stages of getting their trucks, buses, heavy mining vehicles etc. on the road.

2) Hydrogen trucks and their designs are a lot more similar to current trucks then battery electric ones. These manufacturers have a vested interest in their legacy production facilities and supply lines and milking that investment as long as possible is a goal for them. Their real goal is exactly that: keeping the infrastructure that produces Diesel trucks going for a few extra years. That's also the elephant in the room: their operational cost of hydrogen trucks is going to be much higher than battery electric trucks; or even Diesel trucks. The fuel cost is higher and they have about the same complexity as Diesel trucks.

3) There is a lot of government money flowing into the hydrogen sector and getting in on that action is interesting for big companies. Given future availability of this stuff, and the subsidies, there is going to be a market for trucks that run on it. Even if it is tiny, it might still be interesting. Unless of course battery trucks take off and destroy the business case for this. Like happened to hydrogen cars.

Storing 1Mwh of electricity might actually be pretty fast and not necessarily a lot slower than charging a normal EV. A battery contains numerous cells that you charge at the same time. All it takes is a lot of power and temperature control (and thick cables).

The answer to how fast or how slow this will be is more or less a function of how much speed is worth to a trucking company. Idling trucks and drivers cost money. But then trucks needing regular maintenance are also idling. And drivers need to take breaks regardless of whether their trucks need charging. And drivers might ultimately no longer be needed if trucks become autonomous.

People pay for getting stuff from A to B. The rest is just a means to an end. Trucking cleanly, cheaply, and reliably is what matters. Cost per mile basically. There is a notion of good enough here. E.g. having lots of charging stations and trucks that charge to a reasonable percentage in say 45 minutes might mean that a 45 minute break every 6 hours or so might not be the end of the world for a lot of drivers and trucking companies. Entirely feasible with current battery technology. Tesla is basically pimping 500 mile ranges. That's more like a break every 10-12 hours or so. I imagine that, charging times, and cost per mile might improve quite a bit in the next ten years. Tesla is starting production end of this year apparently. And they are not alone in the market.

Getting that break time down might of course be worth something to someone. But the question is how much that is and whether it justifies more complicated and more expensive technology like hydrogen. I suspect not a lot and just no.
My ego is crushed anyway
The process of delivering the internet by trucks is quite laughable, yet SMTP is the perfect protocol for that: Mail can hop from server to server until it finds the right one, as opposed to now where SMTP hosts like Gmail only accepts mail sent from or to a Gmail account.
Ironically, at least last time I checked 1-2 years ago, the Long Range Model 3 weighs less than the hydrogen Mirai and has more range.

Doesn’t matter what theoretical weight of hydrogen is when you have so much overhead the battery version weighs less! this is because:
1) hydrogen must be compressed. The compressed tank has to have high margins so it’s safe on the road. That means a much heavier tank than you might think
2) the fuel cell itself is expensive and weighs a lot!
3) fuel cells are MUCH less efficient so the useful energy isn’t what you think it is. That also means a lot of heat needs to be rejected which means:
4) heavy radiator (whose cooling also compromises aerodynamics), air filter and handling, you still need a lithium battery in there to handle regenerative braking and bursts of power, a bunch of high pressure hydrogen-rated valves which aren’t lightweight, etc.

May as well look at the weight of electrons in a battery as just look at the weight of hydrogen gas in a hydrogen car...

I use the modern Firefox HTML5/JS dev tools on a daily basis and love the featureset that they provide, though it is equally shocking to compare the feel to that of the old DOM Inspector[0] (and Venkman[1], the old JS debugger), which was a XUL add-on for DOM inspection that used to run in Firefox, Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey.

What feels snappy and instantaneous in DOM Inspector feels somewhat muddy and laggy in the modern devtools.

While I greatly appreciate the amount of features that Mozilla has integrated into the modern (post-firebug) devtools over the years, it is a little sad that the next generation will never get to experience just how fast some narrow aspects of web development used to be.

As somebody went through multiple evictions as a teen, I agree 100%.

If you don't come from a stable household your teenage years are going to be absolutely horrible. You're going to know enough to understand that the adults around you should do things like pay bills, but they just don't want to. They'd rather buy new cars and get them repoed.

I make an absurd amount of money now, and I'm grateful every time I pay my rent. Honest to God, if I could change one thing about the educational system I get rid of the idea that your parents are responsible to pay for your college.

If you're coming from a bad household this simply isn't going to work, but you'd be the most likely to benefit from a scholarship or financial aid. What ends up happening is this gets locked behind your parents doing basic things like filling out forms, but they're just incapable of doing it.

I can't put in words how devastating dropping out of college due to this stupid system was. Through the magic of programming I was able to still establish a great career, but when you come from a broken home you're just going to take hit after hit after hit.

I often need to distance myself from what I guess normal people struggle with. I'll see something stupid on Reddit like a man in his late 20s complaining that his parents want him to get a job, and I have to stop myself from screaming at my computer.
Are we pretending most non A-list actors make 6 figures entry level? unions help to prevent abuse, but it won't solve the "undrepaid" argument.

in this regard, crunch time with a max work per day, with actual overtime compensation and post crunch vacation sounds about as fair as the situation can be (you know, short of avoiding crunch). whether the final amount made is enough is a compensation issue, not an abuse issue. I doubt unions formed would eliminate crunch as a whole.
It's not clear what you're saying. Are you saying that SpaceX will end up consuming too much of a precious resource? Or something else?

Anyways, I don't buy that SpaceX will end up consuming too much of a precious resource. Even if it were so, what would be a fair way to share that resource, and who even with?! There's only one announced competitor to Starlink at this time, and they're not even remotely close to being operational. What makes SpaceX able to put up Starlink at such low cost (compared to its earning potential) is that SpaceX has lowered launch costs for itself (and others) by a lot, and they're working to lower those costs even more. What is "fair" when a company works so hard to lower costs and increase availability? Is it to punish them so others get a chance to compete at higher costs??

You are going to get downvoted to Oblivion for the way you said it without regards to what you are saying which is disappointing because there is an interesting conversation to be had around the question “do we need servers in 2021?”

I would say no we don’t. I would be interested to hear from people who disagree as to what elements of a servers position you think would be better left to a human instead of an app. Clearly fast food joints don’t use servers but their food quality is always subpar and I don’t think I’ve ever been to a restaurant quality business that didn’t use servers so I wonder what I’m missing.

Oh god why do mega corporations use this language.
Why is this down-voted? It’s correct, even though it is counter-intuitive! The battery electric Model 3 LR gets more range and weighs less (while also being MUCH faster and cheaper to operate and more convenient to charge...).
I don’t think they need to make it fatter. They can offer an accessory rubber bumper to rebalance the phone for those that go caseless. Or even better, if you stick the Apple MagSafe wallet on the back then the camera won’t stick out. Think of all the money that can be made!
This is really interesting because this is what glitch.com seemed to promote as their number one feature for awhile. From their latest homepage it seems like they took a step back and are promoting a web-based IDE with the forks being a little hard to find.

indeed - however the different between bailing out your local barber and a bank is that when you bailout a bank the upside is contained, but the downside is spread, whereas with the barber, since barbers don't fundamentally engage in activities that allow for exponential gain the bailout is more directly given to citizens in the form of services, not captured by rich people.

>an have an expediter bring it to my table?

You mean a waiter? Someone has to exist between kitchen and table, to take payment, set out food, remediate order issues, and at fancier restaurants, pair and serve wines, and essentially act as a salesperson for the menu. Why would I want to get up from my table and interrupt my conversation, collect silverware and my food, and bump into other people doing the same thing when I can have someone bring it to me?

Also using an app is just gross, are you going to have people wait for another app to download, install, and possibly create a new account so that they can sell your personal information, when you could just tell someone what you want?
I respectfully disagree.
As a reluctant member of the "older individuals" I too find myself giving a boatload less fucks than I used to, but the main reasons are (in no particular order):

1. I have got my crippling Generalized Anxiety Disorder under control

2. I have realized that I used to give way too many fucks about shit that didn't matter at all, and it was not worth it and actually detrimental

Mind you, those 2 are highly correlated and of interdependent causation.

What got me here:

Therapy didn't help.

Manson's book "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck" helped quite a bit, but was not "the thing".

Articles on "Don't be a victim...." "Don't play the victim...." and similar helped.

What helped immensely is to start blogging daily, and more often than daily, about the events in my life, my thinking, my reactions starting from the points of view that:

A) I am accountable for what happens to me

B) I am 100% wrong when something unpleasant happens to me

And that, in the course of a few month, changed my life in tangible manners.

While I am not a snowflake, I am a special case: I started low, very low; and - IMHO - I have come a long way in the Depression/Anxiety/Being_a_loser scale.

I do believe that to some degree something similar happens to most everyone who doesn't start for the same ultra-low point as me, with time we learn that when young we were wrong to give too many fucks about too many things.

But guess what? Giving way too many fucks about too many things is good for:

Business: Facebook, iPhone & Co

Politicians: from left to right

Religions: all of them (except for The Dude)

And that's why the messagings that we are bombarded with aim at reinforcing giving too many fucks about too many things (aka Anxiety) and the messagings aimed at kids/teenagers aim to create and instill Anxiety.

Mic drop.
As others mention, Flask has more batteries included in terms of built-in templating, ORM, etc, so it positions more as a backend webserver.

FastAPI is more focused on making it easy to make APIs, especially with the built-in Swagger docs generation (I don't believe Flask has this out-of-the-box).

So if your greenfield project is more web-based (clients are web browsers), Flask may be more suited. If your greenfield project is service-based (command line applications, or front end), FastAPI may be more suited.

In both cases, it's as easy to substitute one for the other. Personally I'll be trying out FastAPI since the dev experience seems a lot nicer (integration with `pydantic`).
Sometimes the client of the project you're working on just wants to know what they're paying for.
Did you feel the same when Maps went from HTML to Canvas?

There is no factual basis for your claims. The simplest and most obvious answer is performance. Docs these days can take 5-10s to fully open, especially with comments and annotations.
I always just took it as "good with", as in "handy with a chainsaw". Though it's old enough that it could mean almost anything—I don't know how far back the "good with" meaning of "handy" goes.

Hold on, let's see what Webster's 1913 says...

2. Skillful in using the hand; dexterous; ready; adroit. "Each is handy in his way." Dryden.

OK, that one seems a bit... vulgar, at worst, and is the sense I took it in, basically.

What I find very funny is sense 4:

4. (Naut.) Easily managed; obedient to the helm; -- said of a vessel.

Might the line have a double-meaning? The obvious one of "knows how to please a woman", but also a near-opposite second reading of "women walk all over him"? Kinda fits with the rest of the song, which reminds me a lot of The Offspring's "Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)".

Some information from Anandtech's deep dive into Apple's "big" Firestorm core.

>On the Integer side, whose in-flight instructions and renaming physical register file capacity we estimate at around 354 entries, we find at least 7 execution ports for actual arithmetic operations. These include 4 simple ALUs capable of ADD instructions, 2 complex units which feature also MUL (multiply) capabilities, and what appears to be a dedicated integer division unit. The core is able to handle 2 branches per cycle, which I think is enabled by also one or two dedicated branch forwarding ports, but I wasn’t able to 100% confirm the layout of the design here.

On the floating point and vector execution side of things, the new Firestorm cores are actually more impressive as they a 33% increase in capabilities, enabled by Apple’s addition of a fourth execution pipeline. The FP rename registers here seem to land at 384 entries, which is again comparatively massive. The four 128-bit NEON pipelines thus on paper match the current throughput capabilities of desktop cores from AMD and Intel, albeit with smaller vectors. Floating-point operations throughput here is 1:1 with the pipeline count, meaning Firestorm can do 4 FADDs and 4 FMULs per cycle with respectively 3 and 4 cycles latency. That’s quadruple the per-cycle throughput of Intel CPUs and previous AMD CPUs, and still double that of the recent Zen3, of course, still running at lower frequency. This might be one reason why Apples does so well in browser benchmarks (JavaScript numbers are floating-point doubles).

Vector abilities of the 4 pipelines seem to be identical, with the only instructions that see lower throughput being FP divisions, reciprocals and square-root operations that only have an throughput of 1, on one of the four pipes.
