In terms of the waste, right now nuclear waste can be recycled (as it is in France) which would reduce the amount of waste:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_waste

Soon it will be possible to use most of the waste as fuel:

"...What is more important today is why fast reactors are fuel-efficient: because fast neutrons can fission or "burn out" all the transuranic waste (TRU) waste components (actinides: reactor-grade plutonium and minor actinides) many of which last tens of thousands of years or longer and make conventional nuclear waste disposal so problematic. Most of the radioactive fission products (FPs) the reactor produces have much shorter half-lives: they are intensely radioactive in the short term but decay quickly. The IFR extracts and recycles 99.9% of the uranium and Transuranium elements on each cycle and uses them to produce power; so its waste is just the fission products; in 300 years their radioactivity will fall below that of the original uranium "

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral_fast_reactor

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_IV_reactor

While there are issues with nuclear power, the worry some people have about nuclear waste is greatly overblown to say the least. The amount of waste is very manageable (the Netherlands actually stores their waste in an art museum!) and in a relatively short amount of time we will likely be able to use most of this "waste" to generate electricity.

(To help put it in perspective, do some web searches about the problems with coal waste - it will be a much harder problem to solve than nuclear waste. The problems with coal waste aren't discussed much since people focus on the air pollution from burning coal as it directly kills so many people.)
I fundamentally do not understand how we've gotten to a point where social media has become anything other than a completely optional indulgence that we engage with in our free time to gain not-critical ephemeral pleasure out of.

This cultural addiction to social media has caused us to throw our beliefs and convictions right out the window. People on HN are talking about breaking up Facebook, passing new "social media use" laws, and every other imaginable way of ignoring the reality that none of this is important.

You can log out of Facebook/Twitter/HN/Reddit/TikTok/Instagram and be completely rid of their influence on you. You could do that right now if you wanted. You could start an alternative social media company that solves these problems "the right way" and force these companies via competition to address these issues.

There are a million ways any person in the world could completely solve this problem for themselves, but we'd rather discuss forcing a privately owned corporation into doing things that aren't profitable or wise for itself?

I know the mob has decided it's entitled to the services offered by Facebook (e.g. WhatsApp), but that doesn't mean you actually are entitled to those services, regardless of how ubiquitous they are. Your complacency is not Facebook's fault or problem.
How do you "measure the impact on important groups of users"?

OK everyone, go home. Problem solved. That was really simple, thanks for explaining, dnndev.
What do folks use to ensure integrity? I messed around with CRC32 in the filename for a while, but that's a pain to keep up with. Lots of fiddly custom scripts involved. It's dead-simple if everything is on ZFS all the time, of course, but if you want to ensure that files haven't been damaged after 20 copies across as many drives and "cloud" services, ideally without having to drag two or more other copies out of wherever they're stored, what's the solution? Some formats (Flac, I think) embed a hash in the metadata, but most don't. Hell, I've considered putting everything in IPFS just so I get consistency hashing across all filesystems "for free".

More generally, I guess the problem is that there's a lot of pain and duplicated effort all over the place due to there still not being a really good, well-supported, cross-FS and cross-OS file metadata scheme.
I think that most of the files you will find there are libraries/old updates/heat-maps or game recordings.
How are non-ICs in short-supply? Did I miss a whole story about supply chain problems or is it literally that overall demand has maxed out overall supply and most people don't have the means to increase production?

I don't think you can argue with Gordon Gekko " that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit..."

Agreed. Psaki is already citing this "whistleblower" to argue for more government oversight in censorship.

> Psaki was asked about Haugen’s interview and whether the revelations “change the way the White House thinks about regulating Facebook and other social media giants.”

“This is just the latest in a series of revelations about social media platforms,” Psaki said, “that make clear that self-regulation is not working. That’s long been the president’s view and been the view of the administration.”

Former Tox dev, no one is paying for it. It's home grown FOSS. I guess technically, if you're using Tox, you are paying for it. There's no servers, being exclusively P2P so your internet bandwidth and participation in the DHT is what allows it to function. Anyone who you directly connect to can know your IP, but not much else. So your friends could log your IP, and your ISP could see you're using Tox, (The traffic doesn't try to hide itself.) So there's no way we (the devs) could log your IP, we never actually see it. And, as someone else said, you can tunnel through Tor if you need to keep your IP secret.

> The likelihood that you get hit by a car is probably higher than you get busted for weed in Santa Cruz.

Even if that's true on average, it isn't necessarily true for everyone. Different people have different risk profiles for different risks. (There are people who wouldn't be arrested for mushrooms in Seattle under the old rules even if they publically dosed a bus full of children while police watched. Meanwhile, there are people who will be arrested if they're in a crosswalk when the light turns yellow.)

Moreover, the Netherlands are not Santa Cruz or Seattle.
Right. Isn't the intuition that the comparison and swap rule is applied to every possible combination? Put another way: How can you rearrange everything based on order and expect the net result to not be ordered at the end?

I agree.

The real problem isn't that one guy has an opinion.

The real problem is that there's an article about it, and this article is somehow getting massive promotion and engagement as if it's real valid science.

Pros and Cons of Immortality: The Ethics of Life Extension
False equivalence is an easy fallacy to fall prey to -- this is not the same thing. It is similar and in the same domain, but hardly equal.
Everything around us is designed to manipulate our mood and behavior.

* The Oreo's packing looks so inciting but the food offers nearly 0 nutritional value.

* The ad for that new game looks so cool but my time would but better spent on almost anything else.

* That car is so fast but it would be cheaper and better for the environment to drive a Prius.

I would rather have the freedom to choose poorly than have the Government trying to micro-manage all the choices in my life.
The rhetorical scare tactic of implying that somehow people who oppose this ridiculous ruling somehow think that 'racism should be ok' - is not an argument.

"They didn't put in the accessibility ramp - stop capitalism now!"

So once again - hyperbole - this time with a strawman thrown in for good measure.

Nobody is remotely suggesting someone shouldn't be able to go to work and not be called racial slurs.

The issue is a) to what degree this is systematic and a part of company function and b) proportionality.

The ruling is unreasonable and stupid, it's driven by greed, ideology and a 'law by litigation' approach to everything, which doesn't bode well for anyone.

What do you think Defcon was in the 1990s?
Of course there are downsides to greed, but as a driving force of human action it's good because it's relatable, identifiable, and can be regulated. Society gets to dictate how much greed is okay, not private industries. We decided long ago that killing out of greed is bad for society, so that's why we punish murder. The same thing with stealing, fraud, etc. In a complete vacuum you would no doubt have companies killing competing CEOs or destroying a competitor's property or lying constantly, but we don't live in vacuum. We live in a society curtailed by laws and regulations. So far we have had very little pushback against addictive apps, that will soon change.
You are completely missing the direction in which this happens! The US government itself has little power, it is a shell that represents the interests of several capitalists. The best known are: the oil industry, the financial industry, the war industry (which works together with the other two), the pharmaceutical industry, along with several rich families like the Koch family, the Walton family, etc. These powerful interests write laws and control the country's assets. They don't want to be bothered by an individual actor like Zuckerberg. That's how congress moves, to protect the interests of the majority of the capitalist oligarchy in this country.
I think it's phenomenal that a .NET OSS project was so useful to the world that there was a viable path to commercialization. The .NET Foundation should not exist to force maintainers from monetizing their work.
> Well only a decade ago Moore's law ensured that keeping any amount of stock on CPUs/GPU/memory would cost you a lot of money, as that would depreciate fast.

This clearly holded for PC components, but rather not for, say, microcontrollers for conservatively developed products with a much longer service life and/or duration of sell.

Consider, for example, a stock of microcontrollers for an industrial machinery that

* will be used for 20 years by the customers,

* will be sold for the next 10 years,

* after these 10 years, for the remaining lifetime of the machine, the customer will still be able to buy spare parts.
> The cost of helium is the reason you don't see the Goodyear blimps just floating around anymore.

The title is a bit misleading. Parisi's half of the Nobel prize was not really for work on climate:

"Giorgio Parisi is rewarded for his revolutionary contributions to the theory of disordered materials and random processes."

Generally, I agree with the sentiment that I don’t want government meddling with what people say online and I find that to be a dangerous topic for congress to discuss.

Optimisticly, one of the “solutions” she proposed is to open fb up to suits for their algorithmic choices (excepted from 230). Meaning that fb can be sued for using an algorithm that drove people to behave or feel a certain way.

I’m not sure what would come of that. You’d either (a) never be able to prove anything so it wouldn’t matter or (b) you’d force everyone back to time-based news feeds and similar things that would avoid those suits.

I think an algorithmic exemption would be great for many aspects of technology too. Racist facial recognition algo used by police? Lawsuit. Algo used in hiring that secretly makes women less likely to get engineering jobs? Lawsuit. There are plenty of discussions on how algorithmic stuff has negative bias but we pretend it’s ok because a person didn’t do it.
Define ‘law’. Thank you.
My guess would be, that weighting negative stimuli higher was an evolutionary advantage. The individuals that listened birds did not survive, those wary of predators did.

"We make some things easier for developers but you will have to deal with concurrent updates in your application"
This comment made me weep internally. It's soul-crushing how relentless self-promotion is now as necessary good science for a "successful" academic career. (We can define that as getting paid anything at all by a university.)

I never really had the intellectual talent or salesmanship for that, my gripe is that academia has this unsettling undercurrent of boasting and bluffing and backstabbing and it makes it just an unpleasant community in which to forge a livelihood.

Surely a healthy measure of these things has always existed, but the incentives has become perversely perverse and it really drives away people with a genuine aptitude and interest from areas where they can make genuine discoveries about nature and contribute to the sum of human knowledge.

And it drove me away too.

whataboutism aside, the ehrlich quote

"To err is human, but to really foul things up you need a computer".

is salient, the news channels do eventually get okayed by human editors.

Another salient point is how personalized the content can get with algorithms at the helm, everybody has a button that will set them off. Mass broad cast media is going to be further from the mark than something machine learning found.

I see what you mean, but "embracing" effects also means, in a way, shifting the frame of reference so they are pure (from the new frame). That's a really hard requirement, and so in some sense it's more constrained. Certainly the difficulty relates to why FRP has been abandoned in so many places.

I'm sure people would still post stuff for likes, but would it still be a career path for "influencers" where they use their popularity to push products of dubious value with little disclosure?

How would FB being non-profit prevent individuals advertising products on their own page?

This is the problem with most of these critiques of FB: they're not about FB.

> I am pretty sure the reason most people are mad about having to pay taxes is the thousands/tens of thousands/hundreds of thousands of dollars of their income that is taken from them.

Perhaps this depends. In the USA, perhaps. In Iceland, not so much (https://twitter.com/iamharaldur/status/1355490017288867841).

In the USA you have to pay your taxes and then you have to pay for your public insurances, where in most of Europe these are the same things. And perhaps tax payers in the USA are not happy with this. So to amend your statement, perhaps a more accurate one is: Most people are mad about paying taxes because of the thousands of dollars of income that is taken from them without any tangible benefits.
