This article asks the wrong question.

"Can Nuclear fusion bail out our ship before it sinks?" No.

"Can Nuclear Fusion help us re-float our ship after its sunk?" Maybe.
You joke, but PoE's use of stuff like 'increased/decreased' and 'more/less' to distinguish between additive and multiplicative calculations is one of the smartest game design decisions I've seen.

The game has a lot of seemingly arbitrary distinctions and concepts that you just have to learn over time, but once you actually learn them, the consistency of it all makes it very easy to handle the large amounts of complexity in the game.

It's completely unbearable going back to other games that just say crap like "+30% to x" without actually distinguishing between the different ways calculations can be done, forcing you to either experiment endlessly, look up every tiny thing on a community wiki, or just wing it.

It's a nice contrast to something like WoW where every time you get a new item you just chuck the item code into some ten million LOC simulator and fuck around with limiting permutations until it doesn't take 15 minutes to run, just to find out through some totally opaque process that you have 189 more dps. And then 2 months later you find out there was a bug in the simulation and the item you deleted 1.9 months ago was actually better.
Bush was able to "accomplish" those wars because the country was "united" after 9/11. It didn't have much to do with his personal competence or connections.
You just answered your own question.

> no users, no publishers, neither want to join without the other

> Amazon will definitely get publishers but will users join?

Well, the publishers will be there. If users have a reason to go there over Steam, they will. Amazon will lock in a few exclusives, people will start to come over. Who knows, maybe there will be some way to verifiably move your Steam library over to an Amazon account?

I don't think the bar to compete with Steam is as high as you're suggesting, but even if it is, if anybody was going to start listing companies that could conceivably do it, Amazon would probably be on the list.
But we do have a science of organisation design; management cybernetics are 70 years old, and as this post hints at, the field of complex systems theory (also 70) applies to organisations. But these fields don't find context-independent answers like the one you asked for; an extremely important trait of systems engineering (as, again, was mentioned in the post under "form-context fit") is that systems have fitness for a specific environment or context. Answers are adaptive and must be approached in-context, not declared to be canon in some "objective" scientific whitepaper.

If it's math you're after, look at Control Theory or Nonlinear Dynamics. They work well for engineering purposes, but good luck modelling individual human behaviour accurately, let alone mathematically.

The Frumrious Flagellation of Facebook is a perfect example of a propaganda package. How many of these have we had recently? They all run the same. All the major media has the same story, at the same time, from the same sources; nothing unpredictable is said, the clockwork figures dance their cycles and the ratchet tightens up a notch.

I say this not in defense of Facebook, or any of the other targets of the machine; fuck 'em or love them they're irrelevant. This beastly media / government / opinion preisthood should be regognized as an unceasing fountain of bullshit that pollutes our minds as it blames others for doing so.

This one is curious. The website appears to suggest that the list of open issues being presented was generated over 4 months ago. That made me assume it was someone stumbling upon it and then sticking it on HN, but the github name on the submission and the HN name on here are close enough it is probably the same person.

Shouldn't you regenerate the list at least nightly to be up to date so people are not reading over issues potentially closed months ago?

My second question is what is driving the short list of technologies? You include Typescript and Javascript as seperate entries but no Ruby, Rust or C++ all of which jumped out to me but no doubt there is a much wider list of relevant technologies I am not thinking about as well.

> The Treasury can't issue bonds to pay for government expenses until Congresss approves a budget.

Congress has approved a budget not merely authorizing but legally mandating spending and necessary borrowing to finance it.

It has also imposed a debt ceiling, purportedly prohibiting borrowing beyond a certain amount.

Minting the coin is one way of using an unquestionably legal power to resolve the conflict of mandates.

Another option is to simply ignore the debt limit because it conflicts with the budget mandate (and, given existing obligations, the 14th Amendment’s debt clause.)

> But president can mint coins without Congress's authorization

Only platinum coins. For...reasons that are mostly irrelevant.
I assume there are many proposals that are not adopted in US too. But if you want to feel superior read about the issue with robocall in US, I read comments here of people being forced to either respond 10+ more times a day on scam calls or blocking unknown numbers and risking missing important calls. So US free market + US legislature does not seem to me they made a good job either.

Now let's talk surveillance, most people know there are false positives , most competent tech people know that there is also a bias with this technology, if you really want surveillance is better to implant people with chips, at least you won't execute innocent people because the SV startup that implemented the AI made a mistake and will not admit it until 15 years alter after a lengthy trial.
There are several ways why this could have happened.

1) The payment-data were just artifacts left on some file-server or from a process, which was accessible from dev-space.

2) No real systems were accessed and everything, it's all from a bad backup-server or poorly managed worker-pool.

3) Multiple Persons got hacked.

4) Exit-Scam of one or more Workers who just had broad enough access for some reason.

5) Twitch's security is just that bad.

Some notable thing is, the payment-data are quite limited, there are no real private data it seems, and the git-history seems also be missing. It's not sure whether this is on purpose and whether more data will follow. But this overall hints so far that this at least was not a full deep hack.

Assuming there are multiple breakthroughs on the research, design, and scale-up phase, fusion will only help us in a couple decades, put on the brakes is a 2020/2030s task. Putting on the brakes means slowing down, which means decarbonizing power, transport, industry, and agriculture, amongst other things. We don't need fusion to do that, we need to transform our current system. Fusion could be nice as a future-fuel, perhaps it could power carbon sequestration efforts. But unless we put on the brakes NOW with what we have, this car is going to crash.

You get all of the benefits that you’re looking for just by planning what needs to be done, estimations or not.

You break down the tasks, the dependencies, the risks, complications, places where there are options that need more research or comparison…and you’ll see the volume involved and have an idea of the size in the terms you mean. All without numerically estimating a single task in the plan.
I saw a thread on twitter as part of this leak that showed chat of a streamer turning down around $1.6 million a month to advertise a gambling website, because another one was paying more.

I'm not surprised by any of this. If you ever did any digging in to how much advertising pays, ran numbers on twitch subs, etc, these numbers match that quite closely.

Obviously this is absurd, but the Treasury doing absurd things with loopholes is not new. Example: the $100 United States Notes.

Before all paper money became Federal Reserve Notes, some was legally required to be "United States Notes", which were direct obligations of the US Treasury (as opposed to coming from the Federal Reserve system). Before the 1970s $2s and $5s were issued as USNs, with a red seal instead of the green seal of FRNs (or the blue seal of Silver Certificates, which had a slightly different legal authorization and obligation). When the concept of redeeming paper money for silver ended in the 1960s, USNs became irrelevant, and the $2 and $5 USNs were pulled from circulation and eventually reissued as FRNs. But the treasury still had the legal requirement to circulate a certain dollar amount in USNs. So they printed up a bunch of $100 USNs, stuck them in boxes, and occasionally carted them around between different bank vaults, which technically met the definition of "circulate". This went on until 1994, when Congress finally repealed the law requiring the USN circulation.

I'm honestly surprised the above hasn't happened with Yellen coming out and telling everyone that the US will default on its debt if it can't borrow more money to pay back the people it already borrowed from.

Peter Schiff has touched on this, but who in the world is willing to lend to the US at the moment when the US just came out on record as running the biggest ponzi scheme ever?

Taxes could also be raised.

Government expenditure in the USA isn't unreasonable in itself, being lower than most other liberal democracies and even the levels in the USA in prior decades.

Either jacking up taxes or cutting government spending by like 20% total in the middle of such an economically precarious time seems far too risky, anyway. Times like these are what deficits are for! It's a shame the country was in a bull economy and yet still entered the pandemic already fiscally stretched to breaking point.
Maybe they are concerned in an abstract sense, and definitely they are when it negatively impacts them. The problem is they offer little to no support for EPA, and red states have been gutting their state EPAs (or putting into place shills for mega-polluters) for decades now, because they are "bad for business".

A few years ago I was reading about an issue with the cleanup of a coal fired power plant. The power plant owners collected a cleanup surcharge for the entire life of the plant, and put it into escrow. It was supposed to be used to handle site cleanup after decommissioning. For some reason, the company was allowed to sell the site, escrow, and all liabilities to some random 1-person LLC. This person then spent all the escrow funds paying companies he owned to do none of the work properly, and now the people in the region who are dealing with the effects of this botched cleanup have no recourse. Coal retention ponds are nasty, nasty things and because they weren't properly dealt with, its leaking into the water supply.
Woodworking will leave you with skills, experience and a wider physical social circle at best or re-sellable tools and a story to tell at worst.

> Sadly, nuclear fission power that works at scale - both on the technology and social sides - seems to be mostly beyond the capabilities of current human societies.

Well yes, because people who benefit from climate change do their utmost to ensure this is the case.

>> Add to that the fact that there is no fukushima style meltdown in a fusion power plant. If something goes wrong, it just stops.

Well, so does any gen3 fission reactor. That makes the gen 3.5 EPR "now with core-catcher" an over-engineered, useless and costly project.

>> Finally, contrary to fission, fusion power plants will be able to adjust their power output as fast as gaz power plants. It takes months to turn on or off a fission power plant.

No, it takes up to 6 hours on gen3, depending on design. Some French reactors can go from 100% to 0 in less than an hour, and from >0% to 100% in two (although this is very, very inefficient). A 5% change, in some cases, can be reached in 15s. The issue is that everytime a reactor is not running at 100%, you loose a lot since all the cost stay the same (fuel cost is less than marginal).

The main advantage of fusion is near-infinite available fuel at current energy consumption. That said, with Gen4 and all those new shiny research on surgenerating reactors, the same could be said of fission. I guess the main issue is our appreciation of risk.
That is in fact how household budgets work.

That is not how government budgets work, at all.

For starters, payment within a household budget are not typically to other members of the same household. The house's mortgage debt isn't to another person resident there, the groceries aren't bought from an household member.

Payments within a country are. It's circulation of money within the entity, not income and outgo.

And a household does not own their own bank to manage the circulation.

> The Democratic and Republican parties have structurally built themselves into the election system in a way that shuts out any attempt to gain traction by third and fourth parties.

It's more than that: The Democratic - (and arguably the Republican party at one time) - are functionally "big tent" parties. For example, the Democratic party has a progressive faction, an "establishment" faction, and a centrist/moderate faction.

This is so funny. I can’t even.

It’s true that you can write code that has no bugs that would be relevant in a programming contest. And that you can avoid the kinds of bugs that you’d find if you read your code 2-3 times.

But if you write code that has to live for a long time, on a lot of devices, used by a lot of people, and that gets attacked by adversaries, then you really start to appreciate the inevitability of bugs even in code that seemed flawless.
I wonder if the difference in experience might be related to how close one is to diabetes. A lot of people are in various stages of pre-diabetes, I've had fasting blood sugar measurements around 110 mg/dl, which is considered pre-diabetic. I've done keto and a little bit of fasting and experienced the seemingly magical effects.

Another possibility is that other people are getting into ketosis and you aren't. For me, the "recipe" to get into ketosis can vary a lot based on how much I've been exercising and eating carbs before I attempt to limit carbs or fast.
I share a similar skepticism of people the obfuscate the information with jargon.

Any technical field will have its jargon, but the general concept can also (almost always) be explained in a more accessible way (like the hn comment and the article's introduction do).

I've found people that rely on jargon exclusively sometimes don't actually understand the underlying concepts when you ask them questions that dig into it. It's one of the flags that someone is full of shit. Sometimes it's just targeting a narrow audience.

More perplexing to me is the notion that such a library contains no information, owing to this description:

> each book is unique and irreplaceable, but (since the Library is total) there are always several hundred thousand imperfect facsimiles - books that differ by no more than a single letter, or comma

If one were to try and distinguish one book of Shakespeare from another, they would need the full text they are looking for in order to be sure they have an accurate copy. essentially your key length is equal to the content length, and if you have the key already, the library contains nothing further.

I consider this as presaging the info-spam of an infinite, bot-infested internet: as more near misses of actual content is produced, the internet can contain measurably less information.
I thought the writing was on the wall when, during his campaign, he made self-deprecating racist jokes about his own ethnicity, furthering damaging stereotypes.
The idea is to mint a worthless coin that has face value of $1 trillion. That way, the coin has one trillion dollars of seigniorage, i.e. profit for government, and the coin could be deposited to Federal Reserve treasury instead of issuing debt.

In other words, they would be issuing new money by debasing the dollar, without generating debt in their balance sheet. It's like issuing one trillion worth of cash, which is backed with just one worthless platinum coin. It's not really different from just issuing debt that isn't paid back, but this way they don't have to raise the debt limit.

Shenanigans like this will completely erode the trust in the value of dollar.

I also wonder if how easy it would be to plug it into VS Code, and build in an auto formatter (♥ω♥ ).

I notice SQLite could use some improving too, seems like a great project to coalesce around.
