> I've never heard that. More like everything that can help fill the gap, including nuclear.

You're literally posting in a thread whose leading post is "Nuclear power is the only hope to stop climate change."

I understand that this discussion was sparked by an article on nuclear power PR efforts, but framing nuclear as the only alternative to fossil fuels and the saviour, specially as all tradeoffs are brushed under the rug, doesn't sound like a honest discussion.
It is an altruistic way to decrease the estimated value of a minute of spam call.
Fumio Kishida: Japan's new prime minister takes office
I really hope it's sarcasm (so difficult to detect in these times) but in case it's not: why would anyone care about someone else's looks? What matters is what they do, it doesn't matter if they're Indian or African or Asian or all of the above. Sad truth: if you base your decisions on someone else's race, you're a racist.

Honestly, why should anyone care? Look at the old photos from Bell Labs: these guys all looked "the same." So what? Why would anyone even care about their looks? What matters is a combination of skills and passion that gives excellent results, not your current idea of "diversity."
For $137 million, I could probably organise a conspiracy with my manager and a couple of co-workers to fake a hostile, racist work environment.

Probably only need 10 people. Say they're paid $300k each. This would be about break even (assuming a 40 year worklife, slightly short) for a lifetime's wages.

In terms of language features yes. But, personally, I will install this version ASAP (3.10.1, I won't install the fresh one, there are always bugs to iron out) because of the great efforts toward improving error messages. Effort that will be ongoing in 3.11.

I wouldn’t be so sure that adults is enough to stop grifters as grifters are adults too, they have different goals and quite often they reach them.
Before this law in the UK it was mostly small businesses (e.g. local independent grocery stores) charging 50p per transaction. I think the law was probably to encourage uptake of contactless payments which are targeted at these small transactions.

It's still legal here to have a minimum transaction value for paying with card, which some businesses use. But since the pandemic it's become more common to find businesses that don't accept cash than the other way around.
I dunno what framerate you expect your terminal to run at, but 250hz should be enough for everyone.
The article states, "The ONS survey, published last week, found that 5 per cent of people who had tested positive for Covid reported at least one symptom 12 to 16 weeks after their infection."

Only 5% of all COVID cases report persistent symptoms.

And 3.4% of the general population report the same symptoms.

Edit: Comment this is in reply to originally had 50%, now changed to 5%.
Phalanx was designed to protect battleships and aircraft carriers from cruise missiles.

I can find a professor that will say: Long Covid is possible responsible for many long lasting, slumbering inflammatory conditions and may potentially be related to effects from Tinnitus to inflammatory fluid build-up anywhere in the body.

I think we still need a lot more research. Those ACE receptors express in many tissues.
Even though it's probably not that, I must admit the fact that I absolutely love reading theories like this.
Are these really the pain points of the language needed to be addressed? What kills me specifically is the fact how sloooow are the initial warm-ups. I am forced to write a webserver in Julia. The startup time is ~5min and each initial request takes like 45s. The lengths I needed to go and the hacks I needed to do to reduce that are mesmerising.

Faster log10 is all nice but I would love to see a more aggressive compilation cache and improved tooling rather than these minor improvements.
Surely we've all observed people that just don't care about something we would find interesting - that is real incuriosity. It's the same with my hunger analogy: someone could be hungry but not motivated enough to go and get food (but presumably not that hungry), while another person is genuinely not hungry at all, but the observable effect is the same. The reality is that emotions are subjective and we have no way to compare our experiences directly with others, but it's ridiculous to assert that they don't exist.

Agreed that this is all word games. Hopefully any good research would start by defining their terminology.
One fee that Dutch banks have, and PayPal does not, is negative interest on your balance over €100K. So as a small business owner I park excess cash there, which makes up a little bit for the high fees when customers choose PayPal.
Alternative theories make more sense in religion rather than science.

For eg, It makes more sense to say that "God created the World in 6 days and on the 7th HE died", vs say, the Earth is flat.
It's already the case. It's been some times since some websites randomly are hard to reach for me. Changing DNS helped, but the best move has been a VPN to a far away country.
It's the prisoner's dilemma.
Merchants using PayPal can't charge more on PayPal transactions so they increase the price of all their items for all customers. For card transactions they pocket the extra profit and likely then use it to pay PayPal fees and refunds. A similar mechanism happens for credit card chargebacks.

All customers pay for this feature.

When given the choice between credit card or PayPal, customers can get PayPal protection or not for the same price. If they use PayPal they perpetuate the story that people prefer PayPal and contribute to generally higher prices to account for PayPal refunds, mostly damaging themselves in the long run (given we already have laws in place that force merchants to refund / return items and most merchants are not scammers) and benefitting PayPal.

They’re not small drones—see the footage as they reach the ground.

The flat battery hypothesis also feels unlikely because it’s too obvious a failure mode. On the other hand, I suppose it’d be possible to have them send the drones up, then get told to delay by a few minutes, and so exceed the planned flight time. But the drones aren’t that high up (much less than 30 seconds of controlled descent), so that doesn’t feel so likely.
Indeed, most of our users simply open our app, then use Teams/Zoom/Meet to share that tab using the built-in screen-share. That gives you content legibility but none of the other benefits: by hitting our meeting link (in browser: no sign-up/download needed), all viewers can also save board contents at any time and even add digital content of their own.

Can't do that second part "through" videoconferencing apps - not without a deeper integration (read: participation with the companies in question). It's on our list of possible developments but will require dancing partners on the other side.
Deno v1.14.3
For one thing, many governments will have laws about availability of key infrastructure (roads, snail mail, 4G and 5G, wired internet, financial services etc.) which result in resilience decisions:

* Have at least 2 or 3 mobile networks; if 1 fails, people can still dial 112 (911) over the remaining one(s)

* If banks break down, you can still withdraw up to €xyz from an ATM during the emergency

* Even if all mail isn't delivered on all days, letters from the government or letters announcing someone died are still delivered

* If a city is "serviced" by two highways they can't both be closed at the same time

* Etc.

In some countries, governments (or utilities etc.) use WhatsApp in critical processes and communication. So just like the things above, WA should be considered in these contingency plans. Stuff like:

* WhatsApp cannot be the only contact info agencies have - they need at least a backup contact method

* Facebook should announce maintenance activities to WA to these governments in a standardized fashion

* Facebook has to commit to keeping (the main functionality of) WA free of charge

* Etc.

If Facebook doesn't want to commit to stuff like that - fine, but then the consequence should be that WA is no longer considered a valid tool for critical communication, as Facebook then clearly sees it as a "hobby app" that can go down for hours without real consequence.

With great power comes great responsibility.
Proximity fused rounds do have the significant downside that using them near built up areas will cause significant collateral damage. For example, if a drone swarm attacks an election rally somewhere in the US then you can't really detonate airburst shells above the crowd to take out the drones, since you would do more harm than good with that.
The reason why I asked was because you say x86, but you don't mean the competition of x86, but the older generation of apple's x86 based hardware. Also, three of those things you mention are arguably the same -- quieter, cooler and battery life are all tied to power efficiency, which the M1 excels at. So, it is kinda like with every discussion thread on the M1, everyone kinda suggesting it is a powerful CPU, while it is just power efficient. From a computational point of view, where it matters, it is far behind the competition. "Catching up to x86" in this regard makes very little sense, but you also explicitly omit computational power, which of course is accurate. I certainly would not think this was revolutionary for a CPU any sense of the word, but to each their own.

This discussion also comes up again and again on HN on the M1. People say weird things like that the never experienced such a jump in computational power from one generation to the next. And what they tend to mean is from older apple hardware to newer hardware.
Namecoin [1] was an early fork of bitcoin, that did blockchain based DNS, with the ideas being actively discussed by Satoshi Nakamoto [2].

That deals with DNS (though how much has it been used?), but what about the layers of the stack?

> surely it would be driven by battery voltage measurements

No, it's driven by a battery management system that measures battery voltage, temperature and input/output current in order to get a more accurate estimate.
From the POV of the callee, that's not a legitimate use case. Honestly, I wish call centers would disappear.

What are you basing those numbers on? The RTR subscription plans definitely don’t cost $200/day (closer to that for a month). Even if you were doing RTR classic rentals instead, it would be around half that price.
And then inevitably get sued for $137M by some of the people they fired or some of the people whose complaints weren't responded to satisfactorily because whatever system they come up with, will occasionally fail.

Punishments that are disproportionate to the offense are never a good policy. Ask any people who were on the receiving end of those throughout history. Just because it's a company being punished, does not change anything fundamentally. It's still an insane punishment for a single offense.

It's telling that almost nobody would choose non-hostile working conditions over being paid off more than they will earn in a lifetime even as a senior employee. When litigation is so significantly more desirable than the supposedly desirable outcome of non-hostile work environment, you have a much bigger problem than what you'd started with.
The union change seems really nice, and is much more intuitive for me personally.

Honest question: tossing morals and ethics aside, how long will it be before the employees of the large corporations actively look for ways to sue them to get as much money in compensations as possible? After all, even if such actions would get you blacklisted by many corporations, regardless of whether you were in the right ethically to take them to court vs just nitpicking, $137M feels like enough money to never have to work again. Seems like that would be a measured risk that some people could be willing to take.

Personally, if i found my working conditions inadequate, i'd just leave and look for different opportunities because to a relatively low paid people like myself getting on any sort of a blacklist or getting negative publicity would be career ending, i probably could not afford court expenses or the mental toll something like that would take, and just generally am not a person who'd want to sue others and stir trouble (like many people, i'd assume), but what other reasons are there for people to look at employment and lawsuits as an unethical "get rich quick" scheme?

Disclaimer: don't assume that i condone any of the above or would like to see a world in which abusive behaviour cannot rightfully be settled in court. However, I'm curious about the mechanisms in place to prevent the exploitation of the court system. This is especially relevant because of patent trolling and insurance fraud in certain countries.
excel1040.com appears to be down.
FWIW I stand by my argument pretty much regardless of language. (Most newer languages lack static analysis to the extent that C/C++ do, partially because many of the things are hard errors, and partially because nobody has gotten around to them yet.)
Not had covid, but about 2 years ago had a Parvovirus-B19 infection which triggered a reactive arthritis, which means 2 years later I'm still having steroid injections and my joints are more or less in pain. The medical summary is basically "sucks to be you I guess" but it's a semi-common side effect of a virus infection.

So yeah, all I want to say is that virus infections are not a joke, even if you got through one "fine" it can absolutely have devastating and life long effects on you.
I think the title is misleading. The number of long covid cases is overblown. But, and the professor agrees, long covid can be very real.

But the name `long covid` is also a little misleading. A lot of virus infections can shake up your body so you will need a long time to recover. A great example is the Epstein Barr virus: very contagious and it can take months or even years to recover from it.
Yeah, so? It is all their fault and they deserve every ounce of pain for leaving. Nobody to blame but themselves, the nitwits.

Any links or info on how to do this?

That’s too bad. Do you know any software that actually used them anyway?

Regarding the built in speaker, I have a disk called AppleRock ‘83 that has 4 or 5 sampled songs (Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, ZZ Top, etc). Plays through the speaker, no mockingbird. The audio is amazing.
Curiosity is whatever compels a baby to stick anything they see in their mouth.

Once you’ve figured that out, you move on to other things, but the idea is the same.
> You mention that trait curiosity doesn't give you anything, but does state curiosity?

I shouldn't say that trait curiosity doesn't get you anything. It may correlate with some benefits, though it is not clear to me that trait curiosity research has sufficiently proven that trait curiosity gets you more than higher intelligence does. From my reading, pretty much all of the benefits claimed by trait curiosity are just the benefits of being smarter, so I'm not really convinced there is anything there.

With that said: yes, I would say that in my research and my general sense, there is a noticeable effect size between state curiosity and performance. This includes being objectively correct in problem solving, ability to recall over time (better memory), better memory accuracy, etc.

> Could choosing to work in a field that one considers more interesting lead to more state curiosity when doing that work?

I think this is probably true. Certainly there are proposed links between interest and curiosity in the literature. Some, I would say, argue there is no difference, though I think there probably still is some difference. I am interested in certain type of art, for example, while at the same time not being curious about how it's made or anything else about it apart from wanting to look at it.

Believing what I believe, if I wanted to perform better and be more stimulated by my work, I would certainly focus on interest and curiosity. But I am biased, because I work on curiosity itself. I am literally curious about the thing that makes me curious about itself. :)

If your goal is fame or money or power, then following your interests and curiosity might not get you there, of course.

Hard disagree. In some countries, WA is used by the government for communication between them and citizens. And it is also deeply ingrained into the private economy for communication.

I'm making the assumption here that Facebook likes that the above happens and that their IM app is the "chosen one". But usage like that also gives Facebook the obligation to make sure WA works.
I can just imagine some guy telling his boss "I know how to make the show better, if we replace all our 2,500mAHr batteries with these 10,000mAHr ones I've found, we'll get 4 times the flying time! We could fly for 40mins instead of only 10mins!"

Then all the drones drop out of the sky after 2 minutes because the "10,000mAHr" cells only store about 500mAHr:

> the solution is whatever we have that works today.

As Germany showed the world, renewables are quite capable of doing the heavy lifting regarding a nation's energy needs, particularly while phasing out nuclear.

The Fukushima disaster is still fresh in our collective memory, as is the exclusion zone around the plant that is comprised of a 20km radius around the Fukushima plant.

It's disingenuous to depict nuclear as a desirable option, of even an acceptable onr, given it's track record and very long-lasting consequences.
I’d feel a lot better about this if people stopped making concrete assertions about their hunches however well-informed.

For someone in his position to say long covid is overblown and usually something else without any explicit diagnosis for those cases is no more responsible than the “it’s just a flu” brigade have been since this started.

Literally everything has become so poisoned by misinformation that we can’t even present real science and reviewed data without feeling the need to represent probabilities as certainties for fear of the conspiracy mob running with it, which it seems like is happening here, and I think is even more dangerous.

The rest of us aren’t listening to the whackadoodles on Facebook, but we’re certainly paying attention to credible scientists.

I’m sure it’s infuriating for the science community that you have to clear a really high bar of evidence and critical examination of data before making an assertion, whereas Karen or Chad just write whatever stupid and demonstrably impossible nonsense they like on Facebook without a care in the world.

The morons don’t have standards. It sucks. But resorting to their tactics, even a little, is a really slippery slope.
