Right now (https://www.electricitymap.org/zone/DE), Germany is importing from France alone the equivalent of a bit under two French nuclear power plants at full power.

That’s different. The drugs are invented and produced all over the world and can be imported to Europe. So low European drug prices will harm overall pharma innovation a bit without killing the entire market.

Housing, OTOH, is always local. Low rents will discourage development which will make the real, underlying problem worse.

That works, and has been done before. It can be confusing to run Speedify and the VPN client on the same box, but if there's a Speedify router box with the internet, and another box with the VPN client, it should just work.
Electricity is only fungible on a second by second basis while ignoring transmission losses.

Local power production has a significant advantage. This gets offset when distant locations have significant geographic advantages like hydroelectric power or wind etc, or when peak production or demand varies between locations.

I wonder how much of the huge new demand of energy can be attributed to cryptocurrencies mining. Does it have some significant impact compared to the rest?
For the first one, you should probably be using Wayland. X11 is considered an obsolete legacy window system, it's simply not going to stay relevant for modern uses.

For the second one, I don't have any tips for you, nobody can fix that but nvidia.

For the third and fourth one, you might be able to get someone to fix that if you search around for long enough, but it will take work.

Next time you buy hardware you may want to make sure it's supported with your OS first. Sadly that's still necessary in this day and age.

The code will probably be available.

As far as I can see the bigger problem isn't the code but a viable ecosystem, somewhere customers can go if Google doesn't behave. Let me explain:

As long as Firefox is alive and kicking Google cannot kill ad blockers on Chrome as they realize that will create an enormous backlash, massive PR and users flocking to Firefox.

Once Firefox is gone the network effects will be strong enough that they can eventually kill adblocking and people will be stuck with Chrome anyway.

Blame it on regulations or big media or whatever but I am certain they will do it if they get a chance.

Chromium source code might still be available but will not work on Gmail or Google Docs or Netflix, only on enthusiast websites :-/

There's no "French and German grids", most of EU is a single grid (see map https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_grid_of_Continenta...) and there's no meaningful difference between "interconnects" linking France and Germany and power lines within France, though there are a bit fewer of them than internal lines.

There are some limited interconnects linking continental EU with UK and Scandinavia with some trade happening over them.

Tangential, but I installed Longhorn on a high school computer without considering the implications. I saw another student casually using it a few weeks later like it was nothing special. Out of morbid curiosity, I would have loved to see the technician who came to fix it.
Security teams have way more visibility than you seem to be aware of.

My advice to you and others is to always ask yourself, "Is this really worth losing my job over?", when considering any sort of security control circumvention.

This is great, the individual development stages are also listed in the Hindu Vedic texts, which are not dogmatic like modern religions. They clearly state everyone has a path and they sometimes have unfinished business before they can develop their mind, soul and ego, all which are different entities.

Ideally you wouldn't keep them for months after roasting, but the difference between say one month and several is probably slight.

You are right that your body can burn muscle as well as fat. However, decreases to energy consumption ("metabolism") are minimal. Our bodies are evolved to use energy efficiently, if it were possible to do everything we do (or even some semblance of it), with far lower energy consumption, we'd already be doing it.

A good analogy might be fuel consumption in a car. Some savings can be made through efficient driving techniques, but ultimately there is a core amount of energy needed to transport the car across a given distance.

Here is an example if you absolutely want to pin Ruby to 2.6.7 while pulling all other packages from a more recent set of packages https://gist.github.com/Arkham/31297c1d75fc59f723a50063bc0f5...

I found the nixpkgs version using this tool: https://lazamar.co.uk/nix-versions/?channel=nixpkgs-unstable...

Note that Ruby 2.6.8 fixes three severe vulnerabilities present in Ruby 2.6.7, while being backward compatible, so I don't see why you'd want that.
Except this isn't an issue that should be solved at the IDE level. Not everybody is using the same IDE and has all the same features, or even the same options enabled in an IDE.

I wanted to show my support for you and the cool things you did. Heaven forbid you participate in a direct mail campaign, a legitimate advertising method that is for sale by the post office themselves and as an entrepreneur try to optimize it.

I get 0-4 pieces of junk mail a day, so who cares if one is hand written. There is no case where it will all go that way. You are an entrepreneur, feel no shame for those who don't get it. Most of the time it's not worth posting anything, because very few will appreciate it or not be a douche, even on HN. It's sad that it has to feel that way, that I'd rather not share cool stuff, because people will be dinks, but it's just not worth the mental exhaustion most of the time.
I think 1. and 2. are very similar as you describe in that they believe what they pick up and have a difficult time challenging concepts the deeper these sit in their belief system of everything physical and otherwise.

The difference I see with 3. is that people that might identify with this will try to challenge their views in ways that most people won't and in the process often realize how much of their views are based on belief. I disagree with the choice of the word "mystic" greatly because anyone religious, spiritual or not can fit this description. I'm not sure I agree with you on the being comfortable or not part. In my opinion challenging yourself on emotions and feeling comfortable and reflecting on that is a part of this too.

Regarding belief and challenging your views:

I believe the milky way is a spiral galaxy. I have not done mathematical calculations of the position of stars or the densities of light in the night time sky. Even if I had, these would only be indicators. So far I have only the words of others to base this belief on.

I was originally going to go with the example of the earth being round where my only own observation might be the curvature of the earth in an airplane. But I assumed for many this might push them into category 2. so I put it here to challenge those that read this far.

[edit/addition]: The examples are supposed to challenge what you consider absolute knowledge/truth and how close it might be to belief.

IMO the ratio depends entirely on your age. It makes a lot of sense for someone in their 20s to go for a 4x ratio (with caveats, such as fixed mortgage rates). It makes no sense at all for someone in their 60s.
This is a “feature”. There’s so much content out there whose sole purpose is to drive advertising revenue, either with complicity of the brand being advertised or incidentally (as targeting is never 100% reliable, there’s always a bit of “leakage” where an ad would be displayed next to irrelevant or content that the advertiser would normally object to - at scale that leakage is money someone can capitalise on).

A lot of people rightfully mention that we lack a proper micropayments system for the web and while that’s true, I don’t think it’s the only problem. A lot of people’s careers and companies are built on this parasitic model where they don’t actually provide any tangible value and only profit off leftover scraps, which wouldn’t be sustainable in a completely paid-for model because the end-user doesn’t actually get any value out of it and thus would never willingly pay money for this “service”.
did it work well for you?
The point of the priority system is that it isn't based on what you're doing ("camping") but instead on the actual network conditions.

If Starlink is ranked above 5G, then it'll never fall back to 5G. 5G should be ranked above Starlink, and then when camping and there's no 5G it doesn't matter the ranking.
There is deep flaw in the arguments or at least at the examples. Both examples given (uber and airbnb) are a legal plays/ VC play and have nothing to do with spare time.

Uber is betting on employment law, and airbnb is betting on property law.

Also, this view might have been correct 4 years ago, I assume that 90% or more of Airbnb are super hosts (with at least 4 properties, I.e. an hotel) and most of uber drivers are full time drivers (I.e. a taxi driver).

Since I do not see any legal play or VC play at NFT, the only conclusion is that this is some sort of a scam? Not sure. I do know that NFT by itself, does not generate cashflows (like any other art piece, offline or online). So its value is subjective.
This definitely sounds like a rough experience for the kids, practically and socially.

The sky father was the chief god of the steppe people that lived north of the Black and Caspian Seas during the Neolithic into the Bronze Age, so 'Jupiter' as such was worshiped for 2000 years before the Greek speakers called him that.

As these people (according to all the currently most accepted archaeological and linguistic evidence) are the ancestral culture of most of Europe, Iran, and India (with the exception of the native Dravidians), it makes sense the Greeks as well as most of the religions of Europe and southwest Asia also worshipped him.
Nuclear is just as bad in terms of following demand the capacity factor is at best 90% but involves weeks of downtime for refueling etc. Worse the economics only work out when production is kept close to 100% when available limiting adoption in a wider electric grid. France dealt with sub 70% capacity factors even with massive exports that’s roughly a 0.9/0.7 = 30% price hike per kWh.

You can use batteries to level our wind but you really need multiple nuclear power plants operating in concert which gets you back into the 10’s of billion dollar range for dependable nuclear power. However, even that few billion dollars is still massively excessive for a small island. The European grid is large enough that the unit cost isn’t a big deal, but the minimal scale of nuclear still results in various inefficiencies from transmission losses etc.

A much larger problem is simply the cost per GWh, building nuclear today means estimating it’s still going to be cost competitive in 40 years which really doesn’t seem to be the case. Even back in 2000 people where looking at various long term estimates and the required subsidies to make Nuclear cost competitive didn’t seem worth it.

> if an organisation claims to be more competent than the Japanese and and safety-minded too, why can't it persuade an insurer to sell it liability insurance on normal commercial terms, at a justifiable price?

It's because nobody else buys that amount of insurance. A hundred billion dollar insurance policy has significant risks and costs to the insurer completely independent of the actual risk of a claim.

For one thing, the insurer is required to hold enough capital to pay out possible claims no matter how unlikely they are. So you're basically paying interest on that sum of money in the difference between the ordinary market rate of return and the lower return on the "safe" securities insurers are allowed to hold. That cost is completely independent of the risk of a claim; it's strictly based on the amount of insurance you want.

Then what happens if there is e.g. a major earthquake which causes a minor incident at a nuclear plant, so that 99% of the damage is caused by the earthquake but the insurer is a deep pocket and the judge is sympathetic to the earthquake victims? That's a risk an insurer has to account for, but it's not a risk you can address by improving the safety of the nuclear plant because the risk is rooted in politics.

When the risk of an incident is low enough, it's costs like that which dominate the premium for the policy. You can make the risk of a legitimate claim arbitrarily small and those costs would still be the same.

And it's an isolated demand for rigor. Nobody else is required to carry that amount of insurance. When a coal mine turns an entire town into a superfund site and kills thousands of people, they just file for bankruptcy. What would the alternatives cost if they had to carry the same insurance, or pay for their externalities?
1. Just bans people from renting houses to other people. This reduces the supply of rentable houses to 0. Reduces the supply of rentable stock in general. And very slightly marginally reduces the price of houses.

2. Can corporations still own commercial property? And can foreigners own corporations ?
Living in this country gets more embarrasing every day. This is just pointless pandering to right wing, xenophobic knuckle draggers.
Batteries are so expensive that it is unclear whether they will ever solve the large scale storage problem: yes they're getting cheaper, but they have to continue to get cheaper for a long time before they're suitable, and it's unclear whether fundamental limits will be hit before that. If battery technology improves to the extent that it becomes viable for large scale storage, then wind and solar can become our main source of energy. Until then, nuclear is the only proven solution. Betting on batteries now amounts to gambling with the planet.
> seems to compare the Firefox version number with 65 ... I’ve no idea what the purpose of this is

I previously worked on JS infra at Google. Google uses a lot of shared JS libraries that date back over a decade, and those libraries have accumulated lots of workarounds for browsers that nobody cares about anymore. (One especially crazy seeming one from today's perspective is that there's a separate implementation of event propagation, I believe because because it dates back to browsers that only implemented one half of event bubbling/capture!)

It's very difficult to remove an old workaround because

1. it's hard to be completely sure nobody actually depends on the workaround (especially given the wide variety of apps and environments Google supports -- Firefox aside, Google JS runs on a lot of abandonware TVs), and

2. it's hard to prioritize doing such work, because it's low value (a few less bytes of JS) and nonzero risk (see point 1) without meaningfully moving any metrics you care about.

In all, how to eliminate accumulated cruft like is a fascinating problem to me in that I can't see how it ever gets done. And it's not a Google thing. Even the newer cooler startup I now work at has similar "work around old Safari bug, not sure if it's safe to remove" codepaths that I can imagine will stick around forever, for similar reasons.

Seem like query parameters are going out of style. Doesn't really matter if we use them or a small JSON payload instead, same end result, but it is pretty interesting. This API opts for a body like:

They'd more likely attack drones carying dry pet food, a favourite treat of corvids. We saw them steal the ice cream paper cup containing the cat's leftover lunch. That pretty much explained why we found paper cups tens of meters away from the feeding spot.
Seems like it's win-win; if coverage overlaps then the connections are bonded and you get 3* 4G lines, and if you only have coverage on some of the networks that's still a usable connection.
I think it was the price more than anything. Both of the software license (not cheap!) and also the hardware requirements. It's something that doesn't come up much anymore but RAM used to be one of the main limits of a personal computer. A/UX required a high-end Mac at the time. And Macs were already high-end PCs. And UNIX wanted a lot of RAM. 16 MB was barely comfortable in the early 90s. This was a time when when typical entry-level Macs were still selling with 2 - 4 MB sometimes and a full 32 MB upgrade would cost twice as much as the base model.

In short, basically the same reasons we didn't all run SCO UNIX or whatever on our IBM PCs. Much the same dynamic for why the Windows NT kernel took so long to come down to home computers (in Windows XP finally). Even OS X's RAM requirements would inhibit its uptake for a few years. "Real" operating systems were too big for the small computers of the 1980s and even early 1990s.
