It was the failure of the French who build the damn thing (Areva NP, now Framatome). The French tried to make a rush job and cut corners but Finnish radiation safety organization don't allow it like French does.

They tried to cut corners in concrete casting, then they had to do it again. Then they tried to get away with bad welds and had to redo them, and inspection. Endless use of as cheap labor as possible.
What they could do, if they figure out the right play, with the right hardware, is make this a really compelling active entertainment device. You already saw haw popular Pokemon Go was... I think locking eyeballs to locations has VC's interested.
Also maybe read the entire article on using fracking wastewater on crops:

Until now, government authorities have only required limited testing of recycled irrigation water, checking for naturally occurring toxins such as salts and arsenic, using decades-old monitoring standards. They haven’t screened for the range of chemicals used in modern oil production.

No one knows whether nuts, citrus or other crops grown with the recycled oil field water have been contaminated. Farmers may test crops for pests or disease, but they don’t check for water-borne chemicals. Instead, they rely on oversight by state and local water authorities. But experts say that testing of both the water and the produce should be expanded.
Everything that you can do with Hooks can be done with Class components though. Of course Class components also have a lifecycle that is managed by React. But the existence of a managed lifecycle does not make it a framework either.

The article you linked has the answer:

> has it established ways of doing things that are mutually-exclusive with other ways those things might be done?

The answer here is a solid No in the case of React. Nothing is mutually exclusive, because you choose to use Hooks in one component, a Class in another and you can still use React.createElement elsewhere and straight HTML with vanilla JS even somewhere else.
Coolest one I’ve seen is VR workspaces. Buying a $5k setup per head where they can work from space or the Grand Canyon with unlimited monitors, sit/stand/lay down, software upgrades (only a few pieces of hardware to replace), virtual meetings, building and modeling anything they want, etc

It’s still kinda clunky now, but the tech will get better. That’s a money saver (and a big improvement) with the main barriers being tech and familiarity, and those just come with time. Very bullish on that
I agree that roads need lower speed-limits and to be made safer by their geometry. That's done by reporting on the unsafe conditions of the road.

It does no good to play this game of rhetoric, reframing the matter so the driver is at fault (which is not always the case). A driver does not decide to not run over a person because they think a news story will be more accusatory of them.
Good thing we have Google around to save the day and defend mankind from evil misinformation.

Nothing better than being spoon-fed the pure, raw truth straight from daddy Google himself.
Nobody wants to have a discussion about [enter argument of the month here] because it's all BS partisan politics motivated by the right's outright disdain for all things liberal in America.

The problem isn't a lack of understanding or research for new vaccines, the problem is anti-intellectualism running rampant.
Even that is not true, since you can always combine electricity from multiple sources to form your base load, and there's no law of nature saying that the base load must come from a single source.

But even more importantly, the need for storage arises at much higher renewable penetration levels than you observe in the current world. It will take multiple decades to get to the point where you need large amounts of storage in the first place.
"any" is such a cop-out, it's a shame it exists. You can't eat your cake and have it too.
Yuck! Just when I thought we were doing things better.

What happens to the used cores?
I don't know. Panhandle Idahoans clogging Eastern Washington hospitals because they tended against vaccination still makes it our problem. As long as people can move freely across state borders, a national policy would be more effective than a state by state one.
There's a difference between defending them and explaining how to work with the ecosystem better given their limitations. Using a partner (or becoming one) would probably make your life easier given the problems you've described.

Also, you may want to consider switching to 'pay by invoice' rather than setting it up to pay by credit card, which is going to auto-bill by default to my knowledge. It sounds like you're trying to use an autobill payment method from a country that doesn't allow auto-billing. I predict problems. It's entirely fair to be upset that Microsoft's validation does not anticipate this, but there it is.
Pre-Nixon example of high levels of distrust: https://news.gallup.com/poll/165893/majority-believe-jfk-kil...

>Americans were skeptical about the "lone gunman" theory almost immediately after Kennedy was killed. In a poll conducted Nov. 22-27, 1963, Gallup found that 29% of Americans believed one man was responsible for the shooting and 52% believed others were involved in a conspiracy. A majority of Americans have maintained that "others were involved" in the shooting each time Gallup has asked this question over the past 50 years, except December 1966, when exactly half of Americans said someone in addition to Oswald was responsible.
You're probably overestimating covid risk (there are other polls similar to this one - this is the most recent): https://news.gallup.com/opinion/gallup/354938/adults-estimat...

The media's addiction to "scare articles" as well as the government's willingness to promote noble lies puts a lot of weight towards covid risk being heavily propagandized. On top of that, complying with government orders simply because you're afraid is a dangerous way to live.

The scariest thing is how quickly propaganda can convince people others are not worth of life. The cheering of unvaccinated covid deaths is abhorrent.
How long will you do a great job flattening the curve. If t requires fifty years of this policy because covid is still endemic elsewhere will you be okay with people being born, living and dying under your current regime? If so why? If not why not?

It's okay to be anti-bad-nuclear-management and pro-nuclear, just like how it's okay to be anti-mandate and pro-vaccine.
Internal combustion piston engines also do intermittent combustion. If you were to make a power plant based off of this, you would need dozens of these per second (and much more efficient lasers and a tritium breeding liquid lithium metal jacket and… a lot of other stuff).
> no disrespect but i know plenty of liberals who will not get the vaccine.

Anecdotally, the liberals I know seem much more open to the science behind the COVID vaccine and I don't know any of them who didn't get the shot.

> the reason why blockchain (primary crypto) technology took last year was because of the censorship issues.

Not sure I understand your point here. I think crypto is being adopted for other reasons considering that the most popular cryptos are pseudo-anonymous anyway. Is it because you think crypto can't be shut down? That is a larger discussion and I would say Bitcoin and Ethereum are less likely to be shut down, at least by the US (since in general it seems like they aren't considered to be securities), but I don't think we can expect that of the entire crypto ecosystem.

In general though, I'm not sure what your main point is. Are you saying that both sides of US politicians are at fault here? If so, I don't disagree.

However, I also think the post you were responding to was pointing out that conservative politicians carry some of the blame here and have been pushing these agendas for their own power play, which I'd also agree with.
Yeah, that's worth exploring more. It's just that it's not safe to depend on "real neurons are complicated, and therefore artificial nets of simple units won't have transformative capabilities".
Thanks, will take a look. Can I run Java, or any kind of binary, there? That's why I'm not running this with CloudFlare workers, for instance. An alternative I'm actually considering is fly.io.
I do not understand this. You have better "desktop CPUs" and want to be 4x faster then github actions?
Most of CI time is spend on downloading stuff or moving files, how can this ever be 4x faster with just better CPUs?

> On average it reduces the CI run time by 50% (we forked and tested on ~100 public repos)

So in reality is is just 2x faster on non-optimized public repos?
It's fair to point out that building and permits may not be very democratic, but the argument being made here is generally that people in a community shouldn't be allowed to decided.

Some people believe that they ought to be able to have homes bulldozed and skycrapers build 'because they want something'.

There is basically infinity livable space in the US, so find a place that works. Employers will have to adjust to cost of living.

The molten salt will be quite radioactive, yes. It is part of the radioactive waste generated by a molten salt reactor. Some types of molten salt reactors do not have this problem, but I don't think they are the most practical.

The metal containing the molten salts might become somewhat radioactive too.

All in all, this is still comparable in amount of waste to water cooled reactors.

Right, but that time-horizon is orders of magnitudes compared to fossils, no?
The UK tried building gas cooled reactors that produced more useful and efficient steam temperatures on the output. They worked - in fact, they make up pretty much the entire UK nuclear generation capacity these days - but turned out not to be as practical as boring PWR reactors due to various annoying engineering issues. There are other reactor concepts out there which promise to do better but they're pretty untested and would also likely turn out to be harder to build than they look.

Funny because I actually used to go deer hunting with a WW1 .303 rifle.

I don’t think the lack of guns is the problem. My family are keen hunters and have a > 1:1 ratio of guns to people.

The apathy and lack of involvement in political processes along with the boiling frog are what I see as the problem.

Just reserve judgement until you experience it yourself. You can't reproduce the experience on a 2D screen. That's the whole point.
This is one of the greatest falsehoods out there. A stricter lockdown wouldn't have changed much. Australia and New Zealand couldn't keep cases from popping up despite incredibly strict border control and lockdown procedures. There are also animal hosts that can incubate this virus, sure you can cull a mink farm, but you can't really do that to a wild deer herd.
Is this not the same pattern that happens to every human endeavor though, and not just science? Business interests step in and market themselves as good faith experts creating enlightened progress, when really they're con artists trading on the reputation of the real experts to sell harmful products.

The same problem happens in the tech world with two decades of "don't be evil" and messaging about the fantastic future, culminating in the Big Tech dystopia. The whole time it has been obvious they've been building a massive humanity-crushing surveillance/control machine. But up until recently, even on HN, the prevailing groupthink has been to unquestioningly drink the corporate kool aid. "It's hard to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it"

Technologists, scientists, etc themselves aren't the problem. The real problem is that our society encourages con men at every turn - from the individual rejection of boring experts (filled in by charismatic charlatans), to advertising (since everything is relative, fraud is fine), to the utter lack of punishment after a con blows up ("white collar crime"). We've put business expedience above honesty, essentially equating morality with profitability, with the result being that every institution has become hollow.
Thanks for pointing that out. I should have clarified because I agree that "Automatic" is a relative term.

Lambda is entirely automatic like you point out. You literally don't need to think about it. You upload your function and it scales to meet demand (within limits).

ECS however still requires configuration, but it is extremely simple to do. They actually call it "Service Auto-Scaling". Within there you choose a scaling strategy and set a few parameters. That is it. After that, it really is "automatic".

Most of the time you will be selecting the "Target Tracking" strategy. Then you select a Cloudwatch metric and it will deploy and terminate Fargate instances (called "tasks" in the docs) to stay within your specified range. So a good example would be selecting a CPUUsage metric and keeping the average CPUUsage between 40-70%. If the average CPU usage starts to get above 70% across your tasks (Fargate instances), then ECS will deploy more automatically. If it falls below 40% then it will terminate them until you get within your desired range. You get all this magic from a simple configuration in ECS. So that's what I mean by automatic. Its pretty easy. Depending on what you are doing, it can set scaling to any other metric. It could be bandwidth, users, memory usage, etc. Some of these (like memory) require you to configure a custom metric, but again it isn't bad.

You can also scale according to other strategies like scheduled. So if get lots of traffic during business hours you can scale up during business hours and scale down during the night. Again, just set your schedule in ECS. It is pretty simple.
Open air heat pumps have a lower limit for their operating temperature, so can't be used efficiently in cold climates (around < 25F), since they start to use more energy than they provide as heat. Geothermal heat pumps solve this, but cost more.

Gas is somewhere around half the cost of electricity. Back in the day, you would still profit with a GPU.
This is only if you define sustainable == infinite which is ridiculous. Sure solar power/wind power might be present long after humanity is gone, but that doesn't mean we can continue maintaining solar/wind power plants indefinitely, these things take resources to produce. On the other hand, if we define sustainable as being can we do this thing for a 1000 years without modification, modern nuclear power starts to look a lot more sustainable.
I watched the video you linked, it's amusing and well presented, but if you pause and read the headlines, a lot of the lower numbers (<90%) come from either:
- results on only one dose of a two dose series
- efficacy declining after several months from the second dose

So those ones seem kind of disingenuous to include, especially the former.

(I don't disagree with your general points though)
Never, because Svelte has you expressing logic as html tag attributes and React lets you just use JavaScript.
If you really want to go hog wild, you could use a system where tokens with a short expiry are used to authenticate requests even when users aren't logged in. You'd combine that with rate limits + IP-level bans for when active or expired tokens are overused. I would say that's total overkill for 99% of services though.
I dunno, I still can't quite see the potential of that. And even if they did get it working perfectly, then they're following in the footsteps of other people who've already done this on headsets that are a fraction of the price (like Immersed or Virtual Desktop).

Even if they do manage to create mind-blowing hardware, they aren't exactly cornering a market here.

I think distrust is a larger extant problem for a variety of reasons. Antivax is a manifestation of it, but not unique.

In my personal life, I was deeply affected by the guidance that was given by authorities on 9/11 re: evacuation. The decision made by the police was pragmatic “we don’t know the downside of evacuation, which creates more problems as the situation at ground level is bad”, but killed more people than it saved. I have a close friend who is alive today because he chose to ignore the instructions, and has suffered from survivors guilt for not taking more people with him.

My way of handling that is that I get well acquainted with my buildings and evacuation procedures, and get myself and my people out if anything happens, and don’t care about the PA. It’s a selfish position that may create more hazards to others, but that’s my position.

I think antivax and hesitancy is a similar attempt to address risk, but with an impact that mostly affects others. The same industry that gave you opioid addiction gives you a vaccine. The vocal anti-everything people are able to pull on that string of doubt.
This. Please don't use canvas for anything that doesn't require it (games, visualizations, etc.). It's awful from an accessibility perspective.
Agree. I will add in the mix new Energy Storage breakthroughs. The cynic in me suspects its a research money grab or a validation on money spent with no real forward trajectory.

At least the voyager is clearly plodding along towards the Oort Cloud and eventually out of the solar system. Sadly I will be long dead and hopefully these comments will still live on (300 year estimate for Oort Cloud at its current speed of 1M miles a day).
No one using TS claims JS is broken. People want a good type system in javascript, and with that obviously comes a new layer of complexity

The tradeoff is clearly worth it for certain use cases, and clearly not worth it for others. It seems you are discounting and ignoring cases when it is worth it.
Given that it was sanctioned by the US government for being a terrorist funding source, it's not exactly surprising that a US company has rules against them. That's a category they can't do much except ban them.
The reactor core will probably be drained of molten salts and then treated as low level radioactive waste.

Yes it is waste, but I don't see anyone making the argument with wind turbines or solar panels, which will create more waste in total.
Thanks, I ended up using yours. But I might change that if someone shortens it even more /s
Is this because the chain reaction is limited by the fuel source?
I fully agree. The real question is whether we can keep this "full employment" culture.

If you have "everything" you truly want and you keep working then what exactly are you working for? You're losing time and getting nothing you truly want in return. Really, the only thing you can do is to prepare for the future. People try to prepare by saving money but saving money is a zero sum game. When you save, someone else has to borrow for there to be a net 0 impact to the economy.

If people really insisted on working full time 40 hours per week then they would have to spend that time building long lasting projects. Climate change comes to mind. CO2 reductions are basically permanent. Given enough reductions we will never hit 1.5C° of warming.

If we do away with the full employment culture then we still need to figure out a way to make supply and demand balance out on an individual level. A reduction in work hours per week is better than nothing but there are always people with high enough demand that it makes sense for them to work more. "you eat less, you work less" and "you eat more, you work more" on an individual level.
It’s very much appreciated and needed. The company I work/consult for now is using a deb-based distro, but at some point I’d like to switch over everything to a yum/dnf based distro, this distro seems perfect for our use case.
The Surgeon General tweeted [0]:

> Seriously people- STOP BUYING MASKS! They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus

The CDC's main page had much more nuanced advice (as of late March 2020) [1]:

> Wear a facemask if you are sick... If you are NOT sick: You do not need to wear a facemask unless you are caring for someone who is sick (and they are not able to wear a facemask). Facemasks may be in short supply and they should be saved for caregivers.

I agree that the distrust that we are currently seeing has many different sources. It is hard to have consistency when many different organizations are communicating their own messages based on different views of the problem. Even if you could fix that messaging, it would not have addressed the issue of deliberate disinformation.

However, statements like that tweet from the Surgeon General were indefensible based on evidence and clearly damaging to public discourse. Not to mention being nonsense: why would we prioritize masks for health care providers if they weren't effective?

Energy subsidies for vulnerable people are an option that negates your only argument against the most sane option of switching to renewable and nuclear ASAP, at least in extremely wealthy countries like the USA.
I think a problem with the Boise-sized metro is that it's super hit-or-miss. Places like Boise or Salt Lake City are awesome, but I think those are kind of the outliers. Many smaller, isolated cities struggle with being desirable places to live. Small cities in places like upstate New York, the Deep South, far Northern California, or Eastern Washington are tough to get young people to move to so they often have problems of urban decay.

Some of the ransomware actors would not be afraid of being labeled "US public enemy number 1" - for example, North Korea is running some operations, and they would really like to extract a hefty ransom in addition to hurting USA as Amazon's revenue is something like 10x the North Korean GDP.
The articles states that it takes approximately 1000 requests to optimize / warm up. I suspect that they had concurrency set at the default 999, so the first 999 requests would spin up new instances.

Does that mean their 15,000 requests were actually 15 requests spread over 1000 instances?

The big issue with ECS+Fargate is the lack of CPU bursting capability. This means that if you want to run a small service that doesn't consume much, you have two options:

1. Use a 0.25cpu + 0.5gb ram configuration and accept that your responses are now 4 times slower because the 25% time is strictly enforced.

2. Use a 1cpu + 2gb ram (costing 4 times more) even though it is very under-utilized.

AWS is definitely in no rush to fix this, as they keep saying they are aware of the issue and "thinking about it". No commitment or solution on sight though:

No they don't. You have the liberty to assemble peacefully even if they inconvenience or upset someone else. You have the liberty to have privacy against the government, who must make an actual substantiated accusation and get a warrant to invade your privacy even if you really did commit a crime. You have the right to face your accuser even if that will emotionally harm them

So no... Your rights of life and liberty are inalienable.
