The idea of "assimilation" (which also reminds of some directions taken by France) clashes with some important interpretations of «Culturally, in the broader sense, Germany is great».

The idea of having to do courses on "becoming German" is downright creepy. Is it a crisis of identity, or maybe some unclear practical reason?

We get the rules on off-grid solar for 50 states; but no mention of wind.

Almost every photo I've ever seen of a US farm (homestead, rural dwelling, what have you) shows a windmill in the yard. I think these windmills are really for pumping water from wells, not for power generation; but why is it assumed that going off-grid implies solar power?
There is also a minor point to highlight: the risk of over-regulation. Something that was notable in the early days of the COVID pandemic was that supply chains react poorly to shocks when they were not allowed to respond. Shelves bare of food while farmers smashed eggs, style of thing. And of course the CDC blocking any working COVID tests in early 2020 will be remembered for a long time.

People have a tendency not to break laws, even in an emergency. Regulations need to let these businesses move quickly in the event of a supply chain crisis.

I love Gmail. I've also been an iOS user since day one, and 99% of the time I prefer apps that feel like iOS apps.

I use the Gmail app instead of Mail, even for my personal email, because Gmail has a number of concepts and integrations with other parts of Workspace that don't neatly jibe with the native Mail app. iOS wants to treat labels as folders, which is an approximation. Responding to Calendar events isn't the one-tap, in-place experience it is in Gmail.

The Gmail app also does a few key things a lot better: search is way more sophisticated and reliable; Smart Compose is really brilliant and makes me faster, particularly at knocking out more 'trivial' emails.

The one thing I really miss about iOS mail that Gmail doesn't support is VIP contacts. Gmail has a way of marking emails as 'high priority' and only notifying on those, but its classifier doesn't really match my expectations. As a result, I've just turned off notifications for email. I check it a few times a day. Probably healthier, but esp when I'm waiting for an email from a critical contact, VIP would be awesome.
And what do you think that would cost with an RDBMS? I see approx. 2000 writes and reads (presumably combined) a second. Depending on how big those objects were, it seems doable in a single computer running SQL.

Also, and this is neither here nor there, I thought Firebase hit a hard user limit of 1,000,000 daily users.
It's pessimistic to think that we won't figure out some solution to reprocess nuclear waste efficiently in the next 50 years, to say nothing of the next 30,000 years.

And I don't hear people talking much about the problem of "solar waste" and "wind waste", i.e. what are we going to do with all the obsolete solar panels and wind turbine blades in the next 20 years?

Why? Intuitively it does feel like the "nuclear waste" part is some radioactive elements that we could re-use for nuclear fissions. If we found a way to re-use the left-overs multiple times until we used all the radioactive parts, that would suggest that it solves the waste problem.
See my parallel reply to alangibson.
It is the same mindset: certain historical mishaps (which existed for vaccines too) when the technology was in its infancy justifying a complete rejection of its benefits even though said benefits would overwhelmingly win in any cost-benefit analysis.

But this mindset is fueled by an underlying deeper fear of progress, a fear which only searches for excuses but it exists even without them, like in the case of anti-GMO fears, another dear cause of the "green" activists.
Looks cool! Like the super plain appearance and simplicity. Would suit to screencasts and quick diagrams, while OurBoard is more of a collaboration tool, I’d say.

Not at all, you just compute hashes for all of the acceptable forms of the password up front and store those hashes.
Separate working spaces are the bare minimum. If you can’t go to your office, close the door, and focus without interruption then it’s not going to work.

Either you’re working or you’re watching the children, but you’re lying to yourself if you try to do both at the same time. Either build that separation in the house or get out of the house.
This is in the context of coordinating a disaster response. Just because most people couldn't make a call doesn't mean rescue workers didn't have a signal from a mobile cell tower with a satellite link.

I recently had to (for work) create an account on website with a password “strength” indicator and the following limitations:

- At least one upper case

- At least one lower case

- At least one number, but not as the first character and no two numbers in a row

- No special characters

- Maximum characters: 8

There was a minimum too but I can’t recall what it was. Hopefully 7 for maximum security.

My randomly generated password from my password manager got a “medium” on their strength scale.

Joining the Metal team is well beyond my abilities. I didn't explicitly say it, but I'm an application developer, not a graphics guru. So for me, Metal might technically be composed of some Objective-C, but from my perspective it might as well not be, because it's a project I'll never be equipped to contribute toward. But your point is taken; Objective-C isn't dead, and my choice of words didn't contain proper nuance.
Sorry for that! Could you elaborate on the scenario and your setup so we can see what can be done?

I don't disagree with the vibes you picked up on. I get that same feeling in most cold weather counties though. Maybe Nietzsche was right about that.

I wouldn't say people are overtly happy at all. Something like 'jolly on occasion' is a better fit. They kind of store it up for parties and festivals. This isn't a negative for me though. It's rather have honesty that the sickly sweet fake nice you get in the US.

At least where I live, people like to complain a lot. Idle grousing is sort of a pass time. Honestly I'm not sure why.

Austria was dirt ass poor within living memory. Anyone with gray hair probably had a couple pair of d lederhosen for their whole childhood. Plus Hitler was Austrian. The ruling political party in my state was started by a literal Nazi. Sexual abuse in the Catholic church was (is ?) rampant. That kind history has to weigh on a society.
No, you can just change the password you receive and test several versions against the hash. So you stored your password with a lower first character in 2011 and now you enter it with a captilized first character. They can just hash it like you sent it to them but on top they can also first lowercase it and then hash it and that will then match the hash from the password you used when signing up.
I would have changed my opinion too, were it not for the seemingly gollumic enchantment that nuclear proponents display, as if straight out of dr. Strangelove. An enchantment that constantly twists facts, which becomes understandable once one learns that it is an industry built on lies and deception, from its inception.

No we haven't. I'm Dutch, I was in primary school in the 80s and I definitely didn't get English until I went to secondary school around the age of 12.

I do think the subtitling really helps with proficiency though. School can only teach you so much. Consider Ireland where people get taught the Irish language for 12 years and hardly speak it.

The understanding of different accents, slang, drunken conversation etc can only happen with exposure to native speakers. Content in the original language really helps with that.
It's incredible how scant the reasoning given for blacklisting MPN on your link is.

All I got from that video was that immunity is predicted to last for years. How would you use that to determine the "doctors" are behind the science? I'm not aware of any study which has indicated a high degree of reinfection after any amount of time. From my point of view any discussion about high variability and appeals to ignorance are a smokescreen only meant to deny reason.
The investing thesis can probably be boiled down to: most companies are run as they say they are (honestly), a few companies are unknowingly run poorly (inaptitude), and a very few are run fraudulently (wilfull deception).

The due diligence process is designed to ensure the last one is ferreted out.

If you believe you can find other signals to identify and avoid those companies, then why still conduct it (aka the most painful part of the process)?

Honest companies are not an issue, and inept companies can be recognized through a less disruptive audit.
Reprocessing is uneconomical for the sole purpose of energy generation. But is it uneconomical as part of the disposal chain? For example, if you had to send a whole lot of waste to another country, and pay their cost of reprocessing, it may be viable.

With modular reactors, you could store them as an array, in a single easily-secured location. It should not be necessary for most of your skilled staff to be present - run them like datacentres.
... And the limits are personal, and can vary immensely, unfair as it might be. Some people high jump 2.45 meter, or design a spaceship that flies to the moon, whilst most people couldn't do this in a thousand lifetimes

Usually, though, people don't do something for long enough to get close to their limits, so, generally in life, all this doesn't matter that much, does it.

And to keep trying and doing what one enjoy is good advice :-)

Yes, it's true that ObjC is pretty firmly entrenched after so many years driving the platforms. But it also doesn't feel like I'm doing myself many favors professionally by investing any further time into that language. For personal stuff, I can do whatever of course. I dunno, maybe I'm wrong; can't say I've researched "How in-demand are ObjC skills in the job market?" these days to speak with any authority on the matter.
Cosmesis is elective.

Neither of us is going to convince one another; you very evidently have strongly held opinions about how medicine should be practiced, whereas I know some things about how it is. That being so, I see no point in continuing this line of discussion any further. Should you feel otherwise, I hope you enjoy it.
The plutonium left in the 30,000 year nuclear waste represents a proliferation risk. By burning the plutonium and remaining uranium you are left with shorter lived isotopes that cannot be used in a bomb.

Further the number of sites which can promise 30k year storage is quite small. Only Requiring geologic and hydrologic stability for 1k years opens additional options.
Thanks for the backup, but they've already decided that they're willing to die on that hill. Better to get back to the original point of the thread.
The OECD has zero legal power however. It's just a "thinktank", they have no way to enforce anything they come up with.

You could brute force all possible changes but that could take quite a while for longer passwords, you probably don't want to do that in production on every login.
This is because blizzard uses a cryptographically secure, non-disclosing, challenge and response protocol called SRP6 to authenticate users, rather than a password hash database. The password is not stored server side, but the client is able to prove it knew the original password based on its relation to a private/public key pair generated as part of the authentication scheme.
> I understand these issues.

I seriously doubt you do. The closest you can get to “standard address format” is:

Address Line 1

Address Line 2

Address Line n

Postal code (which can be blank)

Postal Area (which can be blank)

Country

There is no way to build “first-class” support for addresses. Because theres no such thing as a valid or invalid address, only whether or not someone can find the correct location by reading the address. Of course, that person should be a local and intimately familiar with local address conventions. Conventions that will change how you describe flat numbers, street name, and address line ordering.

> And considering how often one needs to manipulate addresses in business settings,

Anyone who’s ever had to deal with real addresses would know this is the one thing you avoid doing with addresses. It’s pretty much impossible to correctly “manipulate” an address, because again, there’s no standard, it’s entirely dictated by local conventions, which can change street-to-street, city-to-city.

The best you can hope for when you’re forced to mutilate and address, is make the mutilation simple and obvious enough that the human actually delivering the post can un-mutilate it when they read it.
This is one of those things that sounds good in theory and the reality gets in the way and is way too messy.
Sometimes I feel like I shouldn't have taken Cowen's and Thiel's money as part of the Emergent Ventures grant. I'm not at all aligned with this "American" liberal way of thinking.

Let me make the argument against nuclear in terms "they" (and many here on HN also, like it seems) might understand: Costs. Nuclear is and will increasingly be more expensive and complex to build and run than wind and solar.

The costs of energy storage, solar and wind are dropping with every watt of capacity installed. The cost of nuclear is not.

Here's the source: https://ourworldindata.org/cheap-renewables-growth

Let me address some arguments I read in this thread:
Yes, I know that the sun is not shining at night and there's not always wind blowing, but we will soon have cheap enough batteries to store the energy and solve the intermediacy problem. Yes, one (but by far not the only) driver of nuclear cost is regulation - but guess what - it's fucking necessary to regulate it. No, nuclear is not the only way out of this climate mess (consider 15+ year building times for nuclear power plants). Yes, there might be some interesting small scale applications of nuclear, especially in space exploration, but we all know that this is not the point here.
Don't forget hydro-power. In my area, the word "hydro" is synonymous to "electricity" (in the sense of the utility, ie "hyrdo bill").
Dangers in the Darién: Deaths and needs rise on Central American migration route
Yeah, it is creepy, and you're right, it does clash.

What I'm getting at here is there's a dominant culture, which is essentially based on the idea that national unity is important, and that unity comes from people being on the same cultural page. So if you're an immigrant, that's fine, but you have to get with the program and become a normal german, because germany is the nation of the german people, and that's (at this point in time) a cultural grouping. It's a pretty classic european-nation thing, and you're right in pointing out it's there in France - it goes back to the founding ideas of european nation states as a form of organization.

There is however, a really vibrant subculture, full of people who believe all sorts of things, and that's big enough that it has some political weight. So you do get a good deal of pushback against the most egregious forms of chauvanism, far more so than you get in the UK.
Exactly.

For any single app store — no matter who is running it or how — there has to be a line drawn somewhere about what should or shouldn’t be in it.

(At the least you’re probably going to want to filter out illegal apps… but the line between legal and illegal is complex, uncertain, changes over time, and is different in different jurisdictions.)

It’s fine — desirable even — for Apple to have wide leeway to decide what they want to have in their store.

They just shouldn’t be able to stop people from shopping at other stores.
I one worked with an engineer who knew about hydrogen fuel cell issues from his previous (highly specialized) projects. He mentioned the following concerns:

- Hydron has very low energy density per unit volume unless you compress it to many times atmospheric pressure.

- Highly compressed hydrogen is a safety nightmare.

Do we currently have hydrogen storage technologies that compare acceptably with modern batteries in terms of weight, size and catastrophic failure risks?

What is t he problem specifically with drinking rainwater?

Sure, I don't want to drink rainwater that fell on my asphalt shingle roof. I also don't really want to drink the rain water the ultimately ends up in the river I live near to and which the city sewers empty into (including upstream cities) but that's what they do. Sure that water is treated before it arrives through pipes into people's houses.

I'd take properly collected and treated rainwater directly from my own property any day over that.
Oh ok, all my friends with kids had them in Irish-spoken schools. There were some English-spoken schools in the area I lived (Galway) but according to my friends all the good schools were in Irish.

But indeed Galway is exceptionally focused on Irish. I didn't know the rest of the country was different. Sorry for that.

I did notice that most Irish people have almost no grasp of the Irish language at all, which I found very weird because everyone is forced to learn it for many years (12 even according to one colleague)

>Which might mean that they don't reprocess all of Russian waste, unlike the French facility processing French waste

I don't know if France indeed processes all its waste, but in the Russian case it certainly not the case today. This is why Russia builds the RT-2 plant in Zheleznogorsk with 800 t/y capacity specialized for processing VVER waste (Russia has several reactor designs in operation, including RBMK, which complicates full reprocessing).
My understanding is that these are all super fragile though. All these experiments are done in super controlled environments. Sounds cool and might be a step forward but never going to be applied realistically for a while I think
Any particular reason why you couldn't adapt energy consumption to match disponibility? 99.999% availability is a nice perk to have, but you have to overprovision to get to it or otherwise have big costs and complicated problems. OTOH making factories more lowtech, simple/robust/small-scale surely they're gonna have lower peak efficiency, but they'll cost less and be start/stoppable far easier. Scaling has limits.
