I wouldn't call myself hopeful or optimistic in this regard. Quite the opposite, actually, I downright despair over the ways we've poisoned ourselves and our environment-- for example, with lead, mercury, asbestos, air pollution, and now PFAS chemicals. However I'm also realistic about evaluating risk, and I have just enough familiarity with the chemistry of everyday life to recognize where there is none.

> I choose to take to the overly cautious spectrum, because this is my body and the body of people close to me at stake, and I'd rather avoid unnecessary damage to them.

That being the case, I assume you'll be taking some other sensible precautions, which will prevent exposure to substances that are at least as risky as dishwasher detergent:

- Cut coffee out of your diet (due to acrylamide, a suspected carcinogen)

- Cut all meat out of your diet (especially red meat)

- Avoid citrus fruits, mints, and other herbs that contain limonene, which some researcher said causes cancer in rats.

- Avoid bread, beer, dried fruits and nuts (acrylamide)

- To avoid nitrates, you'll want to avoid high-nitrate foods such as arugula, beets, cabbage, celery, cilantro, endive, fennel, kale, lettuce, parsley, rhubarb, spinach, and many others. Actually, it's probably best to avoid vegetables altogether in the Spring and Summer when nitrate levels tend to be highest.

- Avoid cell phones and wifi

- And for god's sake, don't smoke anything!

This is just the stuff I can think of right now. I'm sure there's a lot more.
Re: stopping and restarting: there's a trade-off to be made here between flight time and necessary delta-V for arriving at a Lagrange point (and an independent one for departing). If you're willing to take the time (and consumables), you could use a slow trajectory that arrives with negligible relative velocity. And you can go there fast, arrive nearly dry, and still get back by "falling out of the sky". It's an interesting optimization problem.

I'm not interested in a debate, just observing that people who say (correctly or incorrectly) the world is coming to an end don't believe it, because otherwise they'd stop bickering and do what needs to be done.
I'm curious whether we could cool the planet by pulling CO2 out of the air with scrubbers powered by fusion reactors, or if their heat output would cancel it out. Removing the CO2 would have the benefit of being an exponential thermal decrease (the planet gets less hot from the sun each day), and heat output from fusion plants should scale linearly with the rate at which the CO2 scrubbers run, so it's possible the scaling properties would work out...

Whenever I get frustrated with GM killing off another promising project, I try to be fair to them about what their motivations should be.

GM doesn't mind selling a $40k car instead of a $33k car. What matters is volume x margin. You hit on the volume factor. I suggest that GM could have increased their volume dramatically by actually marketing the car. In my opinion they actively discouraged sales. They did not want to sell more of them. I think this points to a margin problem. Every hour of labor and every square foot of production facility given to the Volt was actually hurting GM. Not because the Volt had a negative margin, but because the Volt had a negative _relative_ margin.

If GM layed off every line worker/engineer/artist etc working on the Volt and closed every production facility that manufactured it, GM would have lost money.

But if they repurpose all that into the production of a 1/2-ton truck, they make more money than they do on the Volt.

If they repurpose it all into the production of the Bolt that sells for $40k, they make more money than on the Volt. You can argue that the Volt is 2x or 3x better than the Bolt. But that would be arguing from the wrong perspective. With a little marketing the Bolt should sell as well as the Volt (even at a higher price tag) and provide significantly higher margins. Same volume x higher margin = kill the Volt.

I don't think that guy had any reason to point out the "master" thing, but now that we're down here, I don't think that version control has any context of slavery, segregation, or ongoing institutionalized oppression. Glad to be proven wrong though.

I get abandoning master/slave terminology, but on its own the word "master" has nothing to do with slavery.

In general, I get being sensitive towoard ongoing social injustice, but on the other hand I want to be careful not to fall victim to a 4chan psyop baiting people into irrational levels of "wokeness".

My workplace recently recommended against using the terms "tipping point" and "chop chop" without giving any context. I had to google them to find out why they were problematic. Turns out that "chop chop" and "chopstick" have the same (possibly insensitive) origin. But I don't know what else to call a chopstick! Luckily they didn't ban it...for now...

I'm not saying this whole "master" thing was "masterminded" by anyone, but if I were a troll with nothing better to do but "own the libs", I would spend my time coming up with ways to cancel random things by linking them to racist pasts. Which would be pretty easy because, turns out, everything that existed 100+ years ago probably had a run-in with overt racism.
The CCP is not mentioned once in the article, nor are its supposed plans for TikTok, nor are any attempts by TikTok to stoke political division. In fact, TikTok briefly (supposedly by accident) hid posts related to Black Lives Matter.

Presenting examples of social turmoil being shown on TikTok does not prove that TikTok was created to cause turmoil. Another explanation is that people simply post about social turmoil on social media, and one popular social media platform is TikTok.

Twitter had all of the same content about protests, etc. Does that mean Twitter is controlled by the CCP?
> You mean like how opposition politicians are on the governments’ payroll and their job is almost entirely to criticise the government? The government pays for lots of people who are not always friendly to them. Including judges, anti corruption bodies etc.

These functions are pretty much guaranteed by the constitution. They ARE the government, not some state funded parallels organization with no way of fighting back. A simple majority could severely defund the BBC and pretty much nothing could be done. Makes for a good incentive to be nice to the government.

Wasn't a major part of the problem that the design kept changing based on the pushed timeline? So what we are getting now is completely different from what was planned in 1996 to be launched in 2007? If that's the case, and the JWST fails to deploy, we probably wouldn't just build another copy of it - we would build a completely new/reworked space telescope that would take another 25 years to design/launch.

That's a really strange claim. Here's some less strange claims:

Coinbase is behind USDC.
Bitfinex is behind Tether.

Tether and USDC are similar, and most of the rest of what you say is true of both. Tether and bitfinex are definitely shadier than Coinbase/USDC.

Is it massive because it's 6 meters? Like - a 6 meter diamond would be "massive" - but a 6 meter boat isn't that impressive.

Or is it massive like the tokamak is a 6 meter engine to a 100 km collider? Like there's a ton of other stuff being built in a massive structure?

Spot on, and this is seriously harming Linux distributions and ultimately making FOSS unusable for non-developers.
I don't like so much the idea pushed by the article author that it is partly the fault of the software to be open source!

At least, the founders of Docker are honest and clear in my opinion:

<< Hykes disagrees with this assessment. “I think that is wrong and generally speaking the core open source product created massive growth which created the opportunity to monetize in the first place,” he said. “Lots of companies monetize Docker successfully, just not Docker. There was plenty to monetize, just Docker failed to execute on monetizing it.>>

There is still a thing that is missing there: the article let think that docker was an innovation out of nowhere and they had an unique idea that was kind of spoiled.

But, one has to remember the context of the period when Docker was created:

It was a time were cgroups and "namespaces" of network, process, ... were the hot new things inside the Linux and everyone was thinking about the concept of "container", one way or another.

There were already chroots and a lot of persons were already working on "app"/"module"/"package" systems using aufs/overlaysfs layers.

So, this was the moment and a few competitor were emerging like lxc and docker. Docker was very good to take the of the media cover and hype and so to become the dominant way to have "containers". But, at the beginning, there was nothing particular in the technology and lots of competitors could have done it if it was not Docker.
Do you not have any genuine desires beyond how good you are at things? Most of the stuff I do, I do because it's enjoyable, social, adventurous, relaxing, for enganging a curiosity, or also competitive, but competetion is kind of hollow imo and is only present in a minority of things I also find fun. Granted, I also have no job or money, but I'm happy.

Based on OP's detailed-orientedness, I'd assume he was tracking his total monthly food expenses.
Because the rest of the power plant will be similar (or also worse for fusion; consider the tritium handling facility or the robotic equipment for maintaining the fusion reactor). You would need a confinement structure, just to keep the tritium in (which will leak all over even in normal operation). So if you swap out a cheap PWR reactor for a much larger, and hence much more expensive, fusion reactor, you get a power plant that costs more than a fission power plant.

Viewed another way: if you could make a fission reactor with a power density as low as ARC, it would have so much thermal inertia that meltdowns would be essentially impossible. You should then ask why such fission reactors are not built.
You might be doing it wrong. I use k8s for my personal projects and the maintenance overhead is lighter than what it cost me to log into my VPS every 3 months and renew the Let's Encrypt certificate. (Which was literally just pressing the up arrow and enter, because it was always the last thing in my shell history.) At work, a team of 5 people maintain our production Kubernetes clusters (that host our cloud product and app), and develop the app itself. Which by the way, creates Kubernetes clusters for individual customers, of which we have created thousands of. Overall, it's not that hard and we don't spend much time managing computers. (We do have all of the good stuff, like all K8s changes in Git, one-click deploys, etc. I did spend a little time making Shipit run in Kubernetes, but it certainly wasn't my full time job for any extended period of time.)

There are problems that people run into. One is not needing more than one computer -- if everything you need to run fits on one computer, you might as well use systemd as your orchestrator. (Which people also say is overly complicated, but really it's just extremely misunderstood.) The other is not understanding Kubernetes enough. A lot of people just explode random helm charts into their cluster and are mad that it's hard to maintain. Basically, adding another abstraction layer only helps if you can debug the actual thing on the surface -- otherwise, you're just setting a time bomb for yourself. (And, helm charts require you beg the maintainers for every feature you could possibly need, and once enough people have done that you just have raw k8s manifests where everything is called some random word instead of its actual thing. Really bad. Use Kustomize or jsonnet!)
