How much of that cost is associated with the extreme safety measures that have to be put in place? The green movement has instilled the idea that nuclear power is dangerous, which means the general public won't accept anything but the extreme safety measures.

I have experienced this so many times over my life with so many different hardware/software configurations, and I have to assume others have as well. It hasn’t happened in years but could explain why the “fix” described in the parent post was implemented.
Yep, that’s missing and would make sense. It’s an open source hobby project so it’s bound to have some rough corners :)

I've been told that this is nowdays commonplace among UK banks. It might be to do with regulation, but I don't think so.

Wrt. the ads, no ads are presented during the authentication flow. So I don't think that flow is cackhanded because of ads. Self-promotion occurs before I begin trying to authenticate (with a non-dismissable "call to action" that takes up half the screen real-estate on my laptop).

I actually think half the problem is "mobile first" - I don't use a mobile to access websites, because I'm too clumsy to type on a mobile. I think companies create a "mobile first" website, and then don't really bother with the "laptop next" bit. Infinite scroll, multi-part forms with one field per part, and widgets that can't be operated using a keyboard, seem to have conquered the world.

Why put effort into supporting desktop users, if mobile users are now the majority of visits, and desktop users are only going to diminish? I've never tried to use my bank's site using a mobile, but I bet it works better.
Sun isn't shining at night and it's not always windy, hence other sources, mainly natural gas is used to balance the grid, but it's deepening our dependance on fossil fuels. Nuclear is the only power source at the moment that is clean and stable.
Knowing Myself
I could never understand the hatred of skeuomorphic design.

Material design seemed to me to add an unnecessary overhead to interaction especially with colors bleeding in. I love a strong, and arguably ugly, contrast ratio of 7:1
To put the number into context: a 1 cubic meter block of uranium weighs 19 tons.

You could probably fit that under a king size bed. The bed would need about 25 cm of clearance from the floor though (203x193x25 cm ~ 1 cubic meter).
That's a really interesting hypothetical universe, and I think it could have played out in various ways. For example, without the Manhattan Project, perhaps fossil fuel companies would have become even more powerful and prevented any commercial research into "dangerous" nuclear energy.

Also, without nuclear power, climate change would have become a problem much sooner, when nuclear technology was more experimental and costly. Perhaps the money that went into nuclear weapons would have gone into space programs instead, and we'd have the option of beaming energy down from orbiting solar panels.

So what Germany, even in Germany the nuclear reactors were extended way beyond their original expected lifetimes.

You might want to explain why France is not building nuclear reactors left right and center. There's hardly any country that is more pro-nuclear, and their nuclear energy production is highly subsidized and they are replacing nuclear with renewable (look at the chart https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_France)

Also the assertion behind the OP was that nuclear is replaced with coal/fossil, that is not the case in Germany see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_sector_in_Germany#...

It's renewables which have taken over from both fossil and nuclear.
What still blows my mind is that there were vastly better technologies at the time.

Back in 1992 or so, I was an Amiga user. I was blessed with both advanced GUIs and advanced shells. AmigaOS wasn't quite Unix, but the shell had similar power. I had friends who used Apple Macintosh computers, and they also bragged about the stuff they could do. (And of course you had other things like NeXT, Acorn's RISC OS, SCO UNIX, and OS/2, all of which had pre-emptive multitasking, but weren't on my radar at the time.)

But the PC was everywhere, and the Amiga was fading, so I got a PC, even though it was ridiculously primitive. While building PCs was fun, everything was a struggle. DOS was crappy, you had to fiddle with memory managers, no multitasking, a terrible file system, and so on. Windows 3.0 was not the dominant player that it would become with Windows 95, and you still did many things in DOS, such as programming. On the positive side, the gaming situation was pretty much as good as it had been on the Amiga. The 1990s was a great time for games.

But it's insane that so much superior tech existed at the time, yet we lost of all that to MS-DOS. It wasn't really until Windows 2000 that we had something decent again, even then it was quickly derailed. I really appreciate that Apple came back and MacOS X became an alternative.
In the hierarchy of performance, Java is what comes just after native C++, it may even be faster than Rust because while Rust is potentially faster, Java has decades of refinement. And remember that Java appeared in 1995, it had to be usable on machines of that time.

Electron is at the bottom end for many reasons; it uses JS, a dynamic language that will have a hard time beating static/native code despite all the work poured into it. It has a ridiculously large runtime (a full browser), and every app, no matter how small, has a copy of it.

And remember that Java was used in some way in early phone apps, including the first Android devices, at that time phones were seriously underpowered compared to the quasi-desktop performance we not have.
It is result of calling `exit.__str__()`. This function could have called exit() itself instead.
I'm a fan of Nuclear too, just the reactor is ~1 AU away.
so where do you reside now?
If you act like the dangers or nuclear power are made up and safety measures not needed you are really, really hurting the cause.
I miss Anchorhead at if50.
Ask the people of Fukushima if they think the safety measures for nuclear power stations are "extreme".
Did you know the cap tables at those companies?
Part of that is probably because we have (grandfathered) access to BBC1 and BBC2 here, so ample opportunity to learn British mannerisms and expressions.
Redefining the term "nuclear waste" as "spent fuel residue" then declaring there is a process to reprocess that, DOES NOT solve the nuclear waste problem.
The BBC is trash and Craig Murray is a crackpot convicted criminal who peddles anti Semitic nonsense. Stop sharing this gash
Nuclear is in large part so expensive due to overregulation lobbied by anti-nuclear groups and NIMBY sentiment generated by anti-nuclear fear mongering.

All tech is expensive and dangerous initially, becoming cheap and safe with increased availability and competition in the market place. See aeronautics. In the case of nuclear this process was abruptly halted by green activism.
That's exactly my plan. I plan to stay for a couple of years and work my way through it.
> I don't feel it's honest to try to discuss the pros and cons of a technology by cherry picking the cons that we can strawman out of the equation while purposely ignoring real-world examples of major cons

Breaking down a problem and looking at its parts is in fact the only way to get any sort of honest and meaningful exchange about an even semi complicated problem going.

The topic was nuclear waste, specifically, and it's complicated and contested enough. Nobody argued that it's the only problem with nuclear. Adding confusion to the topic in support of some agenda is simply bad form.

No, I’d be done with Google, but nothing competes with Maps, and Earth. Apple maps isn’t cross platform, so useless to me anyway. My nest was just replaced with Ecobee. I still use their search and news, but web only. I am open to switch when I find something better.

I look forward to the change, I find Google’s Material design to be a big visual improvement over what was, but more frustrating to use.
> We already had a 42m deep well, we just bought new pumps and some tech which controls water flow, so when you open the taps and pressure decreases, the pump starts.

Are the pumps you use designed for that kind of use?

What I was told by my well company was that it is not good for the pump to run for a short time. One of the purposes of the well tank is to provide a buffer so that whenever the pump turns on it can run for a longer time filling the tank instead of just running for that cup of water you just filled.

France stopped disposing of nuclear waste in the ocean in 1969[1], at the time it was not a solved problem, but now it is.
The reason why it is "filling up" is because the waste need too cool down at the surface for a few decades before being buried. But that's not a problem because there is not so much of it in volume

I was just about to note same, for younger folks. I may still have the 3.5" floppy somewhere.
>at a rate much smaller than what France is doing

No wonders since La Hague handles waste from a bigger number of reactors. In France only they have 58 reactors vs 39 in Russia and they also handle waste from other countries as well. Considering this factor, the capacities (1700 vs 400) look comparable.

It's weird that your link does not mention the Tokai plant which works since 80s.

There’s a zillion services for pretty much anything you could possibly want to do in a restaurant, some decent and most not. I think it’s a difficult space to compete in because there are so many different options in both big obvious services (Point of Sale, online ordering providers, staff scheduling services, etc) and relatively niche services (Review aggregators, QR menu management, waitlist tech, etc.) that it’s not just that your service needs to work, it needs to be easy to use, highly reliable, reasonably priced, and with high levels of tech support.

We’re multi location so as a store-level manager I’m not totally familiar with how we as a company procure new services or glue together what we use into something resembling a seamless experience for the guest.

I think about trying consulting but if I did so my strengths right now are setting efficient process and development+training, not so much tech. There are times where I think to myself I should bounce around working a handful of restaurants for a few years to get a better idea of the tech available and expand my food+menu development skills.
It means devices on the internet cannot directly connect to devices in your network. That is a function you would have to use a firewall for without NAT. Therefore NAT does provide some firewall functionality.

If I'm wrong I'd like to know, but you haven't provided any evidence that I'm not!
I'm a bit surprised by this as well because currently, the only practical way to deal with nuclear waste is to burry it.

What could this possibly mean? Why single out Facebook?
That's really good to hear! But how it works is what matters as even Chrome still technically supports uBlock Origin but Blink has been modified to ensure that ad blockers like it can't work efficiently on it anymore. According to Raymond Hill, Firefox is the browser that currently works best with uBlock Origin. Does Orion's implementation match the feature parity of how uBlock Origin works with Firefox, going even beyond content blocking? Does your modification of Webkit include all the API that uBlock Origin currently uses on Firefox?
In what language are the laws written?

That’s a non-trivial issue.
Well, this is true. Some of those things are also true of London though.

Re the admin (to get set up on the health care system etc) everything does need things like original birth certificates etc. And I spent several days going in person(!) to an office somewhere to deal with it (but that's mainly because my french is not really good enough to deal with things like that on the phone easily)

I think if I was on my own here, loneliness would have been a real issue until I had decent conversational french. (I moved with my family though, so it's less if an issue for me)
i know an early engineer who worked for a well known founder 10 or so years ago.

The company was sold to a large tech company for like 350mil but what happened first is the VCs/founders created a new company and sold the IP from old company to new company and sold the new company for the 350mil leaving the employees with a worthless company.

So also trusting the founders and the VCs they choose are in my opinion more important then any equity grant offer
I moved from Scotland to Iceland just over ten years ago. The company I worked for exploded spectacularly and a company here came to pick up the pieces. I wanted to visit but didn’t really have any intention to live here. Initially I thought I might be here a couple of years and then move on again.

It was super easy to move here due to the UK being in the EU at the time. Brexit didn’t change anything for me personally but has made me more keen to get citizenship here to get back in to Europe.

During the next decade I met my now wife, had two kids, bought and then rebuilt a house in downtown Reykjavik and then got married. Work hasn’t been a problem, I stayed at the original company for four years and then worked for a bunch of others. I’ve now been working remotely for a US based startup for the last three years.j

I stayed because the quality of life here is fantastic. Living in Reykjavik, with the small, still very residential downtown is like living in a village with the amenities of a city. There is a vibrant cultural scene. It’s probably one of the best places in the world to raise kids. I love the outdoors and access to instant remoteness is often less than an hours drive.

The most immediate downside is that everyone will speak English to you so it becomes a challenge to properly integrate. All my work has been English speaking for example. All my kids friends speak great English and so on. I can understand quite a lot of Icelandic but really need to brush up on speaking to pass the pretty low language bar for citizenship.

Edit: The frivolous things I love are the pools and basically the entire country taking a month off in the summer time.

I think Apple Map’s implementation is substantial more polished than what Google has. So while the top level feature list might be very similar, Apple Maps just works better. This is of course my opinion, but if you haven't used Apple Maps in a while, I strongly encourage you to try it for a week. I think you’ll be impressed with how well it works today.
Then do you agree with the following:

If everyone got vaccinated during a single day, we would use a shorter interval.

If everyone got the standard of care they do now, the outcome would be roughly the same.

While the outcome would be the same, the calculated statistic would be orders of magnitude different.

If so, then what good is the calculated result?

> No wonders since it handles waste from a bigger number of reactors. In France only they have 58 reactors vs 39 in Russia and they also handle waste from other countries as well.

Which might mean that they don't reprocess all of Russian waste, unlike the French facility processing French waste? Not sure about the exact current numbers, though.

> It's weird that your link does not mention the Tokai plant which works since 80s.

The link mentions the plant. It also implies that plant doesn't operate anymore today, having ceased commercial operations in 2006.

Honestly, what does this guy think is the problem? As I understand the problem, the difficulty is that there’s literally nowhere on earth that people want nuclear waste to be stored. Saying “It’s okay, rather than slow radioactivity over 30,000 years it’s going to much more radioactive over 1000 years” isn’t the solution he things it is.
You also need hydrogen to make the original useful fuel, that's where about half of the current usage goes. I wonder if oil conpanies could be regulated into self supplying all their own hydrogen needs from green hydrogen.
doesn't that mean they are storing plain text/reversible encrypted passwords?
I have gmail and facebook accounts way before mobile was invented, if they've added that feature for mobile imho it means password was stored in plain text or with 2 way encryption

HN has always been a mixed bag: It takes some work to sift through the links and comment section to find gold.

Some times I come across old threads in Google searches and I’m shocked by the quality of the older discourse. It’s much harder to find threads with deep, nuanced conversations today than it was even a few years ago.

The sharpest change happened around the start of the pandemic when everyone started working from home. I think HN became a social outlet for more people all at once. Combine that with pandemic-related frustrations and the vibe here became sharply angrier. Even dang has mentioned the pandemic-related influx of angry users in a few comments.

Lately I’m also surprised at how anti-tech and pro-regulation the comment sections have become. Recent Facebook threads are the best example of a lot of angry, low-effort comments (do we really need 100 comments from different people bragging about quitting Facebook every time the topic comes up?).
How long until we get an " unmozillad Firefox"?
I really think that Firefox is a great project with the unfortunate attribute of having Mozilla attached to it.

On the first, it's not really strange to think people with documents to leak would look for an outlet that shares their political opinions. The "selective" leaks accusations are largely unfounded, with the one example given having been refused as much of the data had already been leaked.

On the second,you're referring to the supposed hacking claim in the indictment. Even if the accusations are true, the "hacking" provided no additional documents. You can take issue with Assange's action there, but all the documents were acquired by regular journalism standards.

I'd also like a source on the third one. Not someone discussing it, evidence of doctored documents.

And the fourth is just untrue. While Wikileaks was going through the documents, the Guardian published the decryption key in a book.

Your claim that their later releases included too much personal info is true, but that didn't kill people and it happened when Assange was trapped in the embassy unable to create the kind of vetting team.
