Hahahaaha. This so hilarious. I just saw your comment now. You are so blind to what you're doing. You really think you're going to get away with your abusive language and expect silence in return? Who's been enabling you? I used that language because it's the commensurate response to you using that language to describe people you disagree with or don't believe, and the right response to your claim that believers are wrong and you know better. So you can't take it, simiones? Don't dish it out. Please refrain from having a double standard.

Define "verifiable results"? There's plenty of stories of corroboration between people saying they had some experience that can't be explained and that you want to pretend to yourself has to be untrue, and something more verifiable happening. Like they got cured, or they went missing, or they got an implant, or a mark was left on their body, or the ground was irradiated, and so on.

Many of these have led to such "verifiable" results, it's only that you're too resistant to see that. Have you proved all these stories to be false? Have you debunked everyone's experiences, stories and beliefs in things you can't explain? No. you. have. not. So I think it's time you entirely stop pretending that because you don't want to see it, it isn't happening. It's very very disrespectful to witnesses of this.

Do we have any "verifiable" data on drug abuse? Sexual assault? Parental abuse of children? Much of that data is self-reported. But it's "hard data" from the point of view of public health / legal system. It's only because you're unwilling to concede that there's anything outside your understanding, so you'd rather pretend these people are lying, crackpot, deluded, than having experienced something that you, in your arrogance, don't understand and therefore refuse to accept is real.

You're trapped by your own biases and priors, ignoring evidence and seeking confirmation bias. Ok, fine, you do that. But please don't ever - EVER - call people crackpot nutcases deluded liars and think you can get away with having people be silent in the face of that, and not calling you the same.

Pretty well understood physical limits - who says they're limits? You? What are you, God? You don't know for sure. Stop pretending if humans can't understand it it can't be done. How arrogant and stupid that is! But you think you can persist in this, call people you disagree with "crackpot deluded liars" and then you want everyone to silently accept your abusive language and not push back, as you complain when the very same language is used against you. Hahahaha! This totally shows not only your intellectual bias, but your personal bias and arrogance. Please reform yourself.
But at least there I can expect programs run as the same user to see the same files.

"Why can I see the files in explorer and not this program I run to use those files?" isn't an answer you have to burn support time on because it's not ultimately implementing an FS layer in special GUI components.

It's not that I don't like their FS abstraction (there's a lot of abstractions I don't like; as an engineer that's not an interesting topic for discussion but instead basically expected). It's that they broke their own abstraction a decade later by implementing the multiplextion in a layer totally contrary to what the user expects. Like if FUSE was implemented entirely in Gnome components and anything that used open(2) broke as not seeing the veneer files but you could see them in every system application.

Stop pretending. You have NO idea what consciousness is or isn't. You speak these words as if they are truth, "it can no more", but you are not god. You don't decide. You're trying to limit the reality of existence to your own limited and biased experience of it. Fine, OK. Do that if it's too scary for you to look outside that shell, but don't you dare - EVER - try to call people crackpots liars and deluded because they think different and have experienced different to you. See your own bias, and exist within that if that's what you choose. But don't persecute others or impose your priors as if they're truth. You think it's fair game to attack people whose stories you don't believe as liars, crackpots and deluded? Well I'm here to push back on you. Do you get it? I'm here to tell you it's not fair game, focker. Do you get that?
Presumably they've identified that under performance is spread uniformly amongst managers with a large enough number of indirect reports. Presumably the target URA is arrived at via other independent measurements. Presumably they control for negative feedback loops like hiring people just to preserve your team by stratifying the URA target, or subjecting new hires to other measures too. Etc.

Its cut-throat no doubt, but if its also well rewarded, why shouldn't there be a place for this kind of practice?
> The center of American cities have had a 40-year boom. Young people have wanted to move into city centers, they haven’t rushed out to suburbs as rapidly as they got older, and empty nesters have wanted to move back. Covid has probably unwound 10 to 20 years of that. So you can think city centers are going to be the price they were, say, in 2005. Which is expensive, definitely more expensive than the suburbs, but that gap has narrowed a little bit.

I don't think so. If you can buy in Manhattan for 2005 prices, you and 100 million other people are going to be trying to do that.

I just sold my downtown high-rise condo and moved to a semi-rural area with 1+ acre lots yet only a few minutes from the commuter train (1 hour express to downtown), thanks to the new hybrid model. I expected a worse situation than reality - condo went for above asking and at 2018-ish prices.

One thing I did notice is that proximity to train stations is still a huge driver in suburban house prices. It seems that nobody is giving up on the center of the American city, even if perhaps they aren't living there.

Why ban paying ransomware specifically? Why not ban paying ransom in general?

The argument for banning payment of ransom for a ransomware attack applies just as much to any other situation where a ransom is demanded.
Creases seem to me to suggest the way cloth folds or ripples, or possibly muscles. Both of which were features of sculpture before cars.

There's also the sharpish edges of air intakes, or fake intakes, due to the association with race cars and fast motorcycles. Sometimes creases make intakes look more integrated in the body.

For a reason, well, people used to complain about contemporary (when that meant 90s) cars being blobby or ovoid. The survival of exotic car companies probably depended on being strikingly attractive and different from mainstream cars. I assume that when you say "hard lateral crease" you would agree that a late 90s Ford Taurus, or a Porsche 928 did not have one.

I think the air intakes are overdone these days and don't like fake ones any more than tailfins. There's something wrong when even the top of the line trim doesn't have all of the intakes functional.
I wonder what kind of materials they use in the secondary heat exchanger loop piping to keep the molten sodium and steam apart while still allowing heat exchange between the two.

> There's this idea that we introduce a carbon tax

Where I live, there is a carbon tax already. It's going straight to the coffers of the state, and I have little hope that they'll let go of those money as it's used to finance other things.

> That's why we can implement laws forcing them to

Assuming you get a political majority to approve it. If you do, the costs will indeed be transferred to others, but I don't think it's politically feasible.

> long run

Current society is fixated around short-term profits, and has little regard for the good of humanity.

I agree that all those things would be nice and that they would improve the situation. If we ever get a majority in favour of such changes it might happen, but believe that'll take far more time than we'd like.

Then you've subsidized all of the people who don't pay. If you ask they'll almost certainly give you a discount for immediate payment since it's still more than they'd get from the collection agency.
Would it be possible to add a minimalistic image that contains app, kernel and essential packages? Like what you would get when building a docker container or using the not-os repo that I mentioned earlier.

I think having mini images would be awesome.
Because just keeping the economy going is advancing society. It’s the base that keeps all of the researchers fed, clothed, warmed, etc. Anyone contributing to keeping that functioning is critical.

The only people who don’t care about the economy are ones who haven’t lived through a truly bad one.

It’s not some thing that just happens in a vacuum to make people rich. It’s what drives 99% of the production of all goods and services in the US. The endowments for all of our top research universities depend on the economy, etc etc.

You call it “just a business transaction”, but employing 60k people with good paying jobs in a financially sustainable way is incredible because it means they are producing more than the value of all of those salaries to the wider society. Producing a surplus is how we advance.

You can argue that some businesses are leeches because externalities or whatever, but that can be fixed with taxation. When it comes down to it we need to operate at break even or a surplus as a society or we are fucked.
If I understand it correctly, nuclear power has inherent latency issues that mean it can't respond to demand-spikes within seconds or minutes, but needs about an hour or so? Hence why stored-energy plants a still a thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pumped-storage_hydroel...

TCP won’t give you a reliable connection if you tunnel TCP over TCP, paradoxically, but you can tunnel TCP over UDP, UDP over TCP, or UDP over UDP. Leaky!
It's possible for the hiring manager to also be the bar-raiser, especially at senior levels like SDE3 and above. I have personally seen this happen. Having said that, I doubt that specific people are hired to be fired. I would consider it more likely that if a manager needs X people, he would try to keep the team strength at X + delta, so someone can be fired when required.

The coin flip in the book is that they had two potential leaders, one of the responsible and the other one pretty sociopathic but charismatic - the nascent society followed the sociopathic, charismatic one.

At any rate there were quite a few more kids than 6 in the book, so pointing at this incident and saying 'see, it would work out' is just silly.
This stuff is important. Thanks for pointing it out.
From personal experience, I think this is accurate. I think that at best interviews correlate with candidate performance but most of the information is gained at the earliest stages of the interview, and as you progress further, the process becomes less and less informative. I'd suspect a success rate of 50-60% - meaning you don't regret the hire and the hire didn't leave - is probably quite good.
> Outsider perspective: American media went crazy.

It absolutely did, we need to step back and figure out why and address those problems.
“Natrium”=sodium, and it’s salt cooled. This is genius branding. Makes it sound like the nuclear reactor runs on organic oats.
All true. But also not worse than (proven) lies that spread by Dr Fauci over this site, so I'd say it's well within HN-accepted norms and standards.
He was a promising young scientist who worked in the team.

And although the bomb was used on the Japanese, it was meant primarily as a weapom against Hitler.

Feynman was an American Jew. Imagine yourself in the same situation. There's a dictator who hates all Jews and basically any race which is not Aryan enough for him. He wants to kill them all. A gigantic war machine which is fighting the rest of the world alone is also possibly building something similar.

You get the opportunity to work on something that undermines the devil, that will buy you and your country protection against it. Will you not work in it?

Brake calliper bolts causing a 'loss of tire pressure'? I mean sure, if the calliper comes free and smashes against your tire at speed. I'd be interested to see the failure mode that lead to a 'loss of tire pressure' conclusion.

There are topics on which Stack Overflow is worse to useless to me, mostly because I could probably name most of the experts who are better than me in the field and of course have ways of getting in touch with them on that. But I doubt there is anyone out there for which this is the situation for all topics.
First, adding manual steps to backups is a terrible idea. People already don't do them (which, since you missed it, you should know is actually the problem), and you're suggesting making them error-prone and manual.

Second, where is this idea coming from that corrupted backups are the issue? You're solving a problem that doesn't exist and creating a real one.
I believe the term "Perverse incentive" applies here. I think many people have heard of the story of the British government trying to get rid of Cobras in Delhi, so they offered a reward for each Cobra tail.

Enterprising people started to breed Cobras for a little extra income. Thus a program designed to get rid of "bad actors" actually bred bad actors.

Various versions of this story have been told. Another famous one is about rat tails having a reward, thus breeding rats became popular.

Write up of the above and some more examples are on Wikipedia.
This is much less expensive than the recently built nuclear power plant in Belarus, the total cost of which was $11bln for a 2GW plant.

Let's see how competitive that will turn out to be in 7 years when it's finished.
This story is extremely common, whether it be on Hacker News, Blind (which verifies employee emails), Reddit, or just anecdotes from former Amazon employees.

I think this is not correct because many of our biggest and most successful companies stack rank. If there is a substantial productivity advantage to not doing it then the next company with a million person workforce has some low hanging fruit to pick.
Now compare the cost of individual parts between a PinePhone and a Librem 5.

These devices are nowhere near similar.
As the creators of Erlang had stated, the similarity between Erlang's concurrency model and the Actor model is completely accidental.
I would think there are plenty of more effective targets for terrorist planes then a nuclear plant in rural wyoming.
I am currently building a 12.2 kWp solar plant and it costs about $2/W including battery storage. Not counting government subsidies, my plant will break even after 9 years of operation, while this nuclear reactor will likely not even been built yet.

My site is less than ideal: mid-western Germany, 20% shaded. just image the bang-for-buck you get if you plop a slightly larger array into a place that actually has a lot of sun year round.

Yes, solar produces way less reliable energy, but I'd note that the reactor in question also relies on some storage to provide its 500MW peak capacity. It's average peak capacity is rated at 345MW and it will go down for maintenance and refueling (I guess), which will reduce its average production further. Meanwhile solar is basically maintenance free for 20+ years.

I get that this type of reactor is interesting as a research project. But given the build times, the bureaucratic hurdles and the quality, cost effectiveness and diversity of renewable alternatives, why bother?

The practice of astrology (believing in it or not) in itself doesn't necessarily lead to substance abuse. I'm personally quite interested in astrology as a framework and it's psychology.
Solar has a capacity factor of just 10% while nuclear is above 90%. This means that a solar farm cannot replace a nuclear reactor. Solar needs a backup plant, nuclear doesn’t. So you’re comparing apples and oranges.

Plus, this is an experimental reactor and naturally has a lower power output.
I felt like I forgot to add a link. Why don't we see images in wrong color space nearly as often as text with wrong character encoding, remains a mystery to me since the moment I was writing a toy JPEG decoder and found this article:

A lot of places claw back signing bonuses. They're also not that large.
But you don't necessarily need an instant response, at least not always. Some months ago we had very bad weather with almost no wind during days and we had to buy energy from France. It wasn't cheap at all but we had to do it because solar, wind and hydro couldn't supply enough. Nuclear from France did though.
Don't Overabstract Your Components
On the bright side, this contains an acknowledgement that 'conspiracy' is not actually synonymous with falsehood.

The meanings of "conspiracy theory" according Wiktionary, my favorite dictionary:

> 1. A hypothesis alleging that the members of a coordinated group are, and/or were, secretly working together to commit illegal or wrongful actions including attempting to hide the existence of the group and its activities. In notable cases the hypothesis contradicts the mainstream explanation for historical or current events. [1960s]

The first sentence describes something that certainly does happen. Organized crime syndicates are conspiracies. If somebody tries to hire a hitman to kill their neighbor, they'll be charged with conspiracy to commit murder. Conspiracies are real things that sometimes happen.

The second sentence is where things get interesting. As far as I've been able to determine, this started with the assassination of JFK. Officially, he was killed by a single man who acted on his own and didn't conspire with anybody else. Any theory that posits the gunman was in cahoots with anybody else was a conspiracy theory in the original sense the term. In the aftermath of that, 'conspiracy theory' seemingly became mixed up with the premise of disagreeing with the mainstream explanation. But sometimes the mainstream narrative is a theory about people conspiring. The man who shot Lincoln conspired with others; that's the mainstream narrative in that case and I have no reason to doubt it.

It's all very tiresome.
This is going to be a time bomb, preventing inplementation improvements (or even vulnerability fixes) in the future.
What value are they getting to the share holders by making people work partially from the office?
>made principal like 5-6 years out of undergrad

looking at our (we're naturally not FAANG, not even close) dept recent big promotions around - a principal
6 year out of undergrad. No need for insane workloads, just great soft skills around high management people, and the lack of experience and knowledge just helps to always be in enthusiastic agreement with instead of questioning that high management's not smart, to say the least, decisions .

This reads like fiction, reminiscent of William Gibson maybe, is it for real? Or "was it" is maybe the right question, perhaps it all crashed and burned.
I am too old and cynical to be angry at anybody, my point was that (ignoring ethical matters) the likely spawning of environmental extreme groups would act as an incentive equalizer for the current status quo.

There is too big of an asymmetry with the current situation: profits, tax incentives, lobbying, and regulatory capture. This is not something that the average person can address from within the existing judiciary system.

At the moment you will need either something that will make carbon emissions unprofitable, or an epiphany from those abusing the status quo, that would lead to de facto climate regulation. Neither of those will happen without some incentive (positive or negative).
I was at the office the other day. Maybe it's because it's still a novel experience, but there were lots of distractions there, some good, like getting into technical discussions, and some bad, like every other distraction.

I can see both sides. Personally I want to go back to hybrid work and be in the office some of the time for the social aspect.
That makes sense, it's very impressive what you've achieved.
Maybe it was leaked earlier? How does this support either narrative?
That’s meaningless though. It’s been stolen by literally every non voluntary change of control. Dinosaurs stole land from each other.

Taxation is stealing money from your citizens and we don’t describe it that way because it makes the term somewhat meaningless.
When I do forensic gigs, I use Excel for inspecting and presenting timelines. When you colour-code the entries, and then sort them by different metrics (eg: computer file MAC times, plus external coinciding timed events known to the investigation) you get a really good idea of what was happening in and around any of the suspicious activity points. What activities preceded a file's existence? What preceded the last time it was accessed? It's not perfect since that evidence is pretty volatile, but every file has at least one part of that puzzle, and the picture is greatly improved by comparing the different timeline views.

It's not the usual purpose for Excel, but one it (any spreadsheet, really) is surprisingly good at.

As per the article: I'm merely sorting colour-coded rows by other colour-coded columns, and seeing how they group up. I'm definitely not "the Excel guy."
Been working from home for the last 20 years. Make money either off my own products or design and develop products for clients. I prefer to think and create alone. I value before anything else ability to choose what work to do. I am fine having meetings every once in a while but rubbing shoulder all day long in the office is not for me. I have friends I do not work with and I prefer it this way. I also enjoy being not having some out of their mind HR telling me how to behave, being forced to "team building" events and whatever other crap they come up with.

I do understand that some jobs are impossible without being in the office / factory / whatever. I am thankful that I was able to avoid those.
For how many people?
A bit like modern television series, isn’t it?
I'm not sure the food waste is referring to solid waste, but the emissions produced (fuel and electrcity) in producing/shipping/storing/delivering food that is not actually used.
