> she didn't express a very pro nuclear opinion, as you suggest

New nuclear power plants were banned altogether. The agreement became law in 2002 (Atomgesetz). Angela Merkel, objected to the agreement, calling it a “destruction of national property” that would be revoked if the CDU came to power.

To be fair I only looked for 30 seconds and it is hardly a smoking gun to call not building nuclear power a destruction of national property as being 'pro nuclear'.
I would say fix this elsewhere.

If you think that the issue is economic inequality impeding their development, this sort of fix is at best a hack that draws fire in other ways, especially from those with egalitarian values.

Kubernetes Co-Founder Joe Beda Interview
As a society, we should have a mission to lower the representation of lawyers in politics.
Quotas in politics is a great idea and important. Politics is all about representation and without quotas population is not represented properly in law making chambers. As it is, binary democratic systems means majority can out-vote minority at everything and impose laws that only benefits majority and severely penalizes minority. With quotas, at least there is representation.
> If Fisherman A overcatches and splits with Fisherman B who undercatches, that is the same as if they both caught the correct amount.

Most likely the quotas were set on the basis that they wouldn't always be filled. If lots of fishermen are colluding to always take their full quota then sooner or later quotas must come down.

I think Google's correction workflow helps massively with keeping the data up to date.

I can submit a correction for a misplaced business or wrong opening hours, and it's live on the map within hours, but more often minutes. Recently I had to submit a correction to a typo in a business name to Apple Maps and it took over a week.
Reaching the front page of HN / Reddit / etc is the only way to get support from Microsoft / Google / etc.

At some point during their growth, companies just flat out cut all ties between customers and people who actually work there. The only way for a customer to reach the people writing the code (and able to fix the error 500) is through external channels. Same for billing issues and similar problems too, there's people working in the billing department but customer service is utterly incapable of actually reaching them.

I’m using it for more than a decade and couldn’t use any other browser, all attempts failed. It bases on the ui convenience and out of box features that just work. From the security point of view it’s probably worse than others because china and non-osi, but I don’t really care.

Sorry that I have no detailed list of features or misbehavior of other browsers and/or extensions, but to name a few: gestures that do not suck; tab menu has useful options like duplicate, mute, etc; click on an active tab scrolls up (like iphone); consistent theme; useful right-click menu on pages; extensions that can extend that menu.

It also has few bugs for too long, like thumbnail generation on bookmarks, and once they made a release that just ate 100 cpu and was unable to start. I switched to firefox yet again to get tired of it and get back once they fixed in the next update.
Hm. I agree to #1 mostly, but it could be better. More light rail like Hochbahn & S-Bahn would be good.

OTOH they extended the Metrobus and Expressbus like mad, at least it felt so after my initial disappointment from around 2004.

Most bus stops have an electronic timetable, dynamically updating their 4 rows. The busses are prioritized on traffic lights and partially have their own reserved lanes.

For when- and whereever I need to go I simply don't care when exactly, because a few minutes later the next one is coming, which applies the same way for sometimes necessary switches.

30mins max from outlying suburb to core, rather 20mins, maybe 50 to 60min from my edge to another edge of town, not necessarily through the core.

I think there has to be some kind of subjective measure in the hiring process. Two people could have similarly excellent credentials and experience, but one may have terrible social/communication skills that are likely not reflected in their resume. I’ve seen several people say that screening for “culture fit” just introduces bias in the process, which is likely true, but I don’t think that negates the reality of some people just not being good fits for certain teams.

I agree that a blind-as-possible hiring process is probably the most fair, but I have doubts that it actually leads to the best hiring decisions. Although, quotas are fair to no one, in my opinion.

> Like do you think institutions should award exclusively on merit, or on some other aspects of their mission?

Lets approach this a bit differently - Is there something inherit within a segment of our population that makes them more meritable and "better scientists"? The answer is either:

- Yes, a subset of our population is superior and awards like Nobel Prize should be dominated by them

- No, everyone is generally of equal skill and merit (or potential), and the Nobel Prize should roughly, on average, be awarded to people that look like the population.

Then, considering your answer above, how does that match to reality? What accounts for this mismatch? Why are fields (and awards like this) underrepresenting our populations?

If you want "the best science" and to be continuously improving the field, don't you want to make sure you're not shutting the door on whole demographics? To say "focus exclusively on merit" seems to suggest that you think that merit favors one demographic.
I give this kind of "homework" to candidates where I'm unsure if they can actually write a working program. These candidates usually have a CS or engineering degree, but only some simulation, data science or machine learning projects from school on their resume.

I don't really care about style but they have to be able to produce a program that can be started, does its job for an arbitrary amount of time before being shutdown again and doesn't crash and burn on the first non-perfect input.
Then you'll be able to answer the most basic question: what's the goal of gender quota? And then show how gender quota accomplishes that goal, or at least moves towards it, without harming other goals.

interface Person {
[key: AllowedKeys]: unknown
}

This is one of annoying aspects of TypeScript. The following should work (in fact, this is how `Record<K, V>` is defined in lib.es5.d.ts after all):

type Person = {
[key in AllowedKeys]: unknown
};

Note the switch from interface to type and `:` replaced with `in`. The point is that the `in` syntax (conceptually expanded into multiple fields) subsumes the `:` syntax (a generic type ascription) and is only available as a mapped type, which is distinct with an interface type. The error message does mention this, but if you don't know what is the mapped type you are left with no clues.

We already have electrical grid scale storage with methane which is one of the possible power to gas implementations [0]. It's just nobody does it because it is cheaper to get it out of the ground.

Sure, the efficiency isn't as good as batteries, but wikipedia shows nuclear being over 3x as expensive as wind/solar [1]. Power to gas using wind/solar can definitely be done cheaper than that.

Last summer at a wedding, I met a paleontologist studying ancient crocodiles and his story was fascinating:

Before the K-Pg extinction, Crocodilia was a pretty wide order, with many different species occupying multiple ecological niches, from herbivore crocodiles with teeth like cows', to cat-sized running crocodiles living in the desert. And during the K-Pg extinction, most of it disappeared with only a handful species remaining, occupying two really close ecological niches (semi-aquatic opportunist predators and semi-aquatic fish eater (gharial and galse gharial)).

And he contrasted this collapse with what happened to dinosaurs (also know as birds), which today still have thousands of species occupying almost every possible ecological niche.
Merit is subjective which is why diversity is critical to an organization's survival. Gender and ethnicity are not a guarantee of diversity.

The Nobel Prize organization operates on a very dated model of merit.

What do you actually mean by "It should be illegal to have quotas for gender"?

The Nobel Foundation is a private institution. Your comment sounded like you want it to be illegal for a private foundation to have quotas in prize giving.

But you're okay letting an organization like the Catholic Church have a quota system? I can't figure out what your proposed law would be.

We're absolutely quite far from the absolute worst. The world could've been entirely uninhabitable for example, think "without an athmosphere at all" kind of uninhabitable. That would've been a way worse outcome than what we have today. I see no reason to limit the range of "worst to best" outcomes to the ones usually imagined in political debates.

Before you continue to so giddily bash Germany, I would consider that the US in 2020 generated 60.3% of electrical energy from fossil fuels (19.3% of the total from "clean" coal, 40.3% was "clean" natural gas), 19.7% from nuclear, 19.8% from renewables[1].

Germany in 2020 had a mix of 36.0% from fossil fuels (24.3% of the total from "clean" coal, 11.7% from "clean" gas), 12.6% from nuclear, and 51.4% renewables[2].

Sure, I am not happy that Germany continues to burn so much fossil fuel either, but suggesting that Germany is particularly bad because it doesn't do as much nuclear is just not based in reality.

PS: In absolute numbers, the US produced 774 TWh of electrical energy using coal in 2020, Germany produced 118 TWh. That's 2.35 TWh per million people for the US, 1.41 TWh per million people in Germany. Or expressed yet differently, the US produced 1.67x the energy from coal per capita than Germany.

Farmer here. I've been saying for years to my fellow farmers that equipment security shouldn't be dismissed.

I did not focus much on tractors, though, but automatized irrigation systems that allow remote access and configuration. When choosing my own options, and since I never had the information I needed, I always chose the simplest solution, i.e., local manual configuration without remote access.

Around here the public water supply is remotely controlled, but like an Intranet, via optical fiber. I suspect this has to do not only with poor reception in remote locations but also with security. But water meters are accessed via SIM, I think.

Every time I mention any concerns with security, however, these are met with skepticism. The usual inability to foresee third-parties' motivations, in variations of

"Why would anyone want to interfere with my equipment?"

are very common. And I admittedly lack the skills to raise concerns for this issue past saying that ignorance of threats doesn't make them go away. My only hypothetical case is systematic crop failure due to poor irrigation associated with futures markets that depend on yields.

> Some random person writes a blog post and now we have for some reason suddenly a 'best practice'.

That's not giving other developers much credit for critical thinking. Famous articles such as Git Flow or The Joel Test are usually written by experienced developers (or a representative of a team of such), often with more understanding of the subject than the vast majority of other developers. They present a reasonable case for why the practice is better than what came before, and don't pretend that they are presenting some sort of universal, timeless solution. What happens next is the same thing that happens to every innovation: a messy, slow, mostly random walk from the original idea to something better, which may be closer to the original practice than the recommendation. But it's often worth trying.

> Also, you do not really need to think that much about 'everything'.

How do you work out which things to dig into though? You can't possibly dig into everything, and if you don't have much experience you have no reason to think that any particular rabbit hole is going to lead to somewhere better. And that leads straight back to best practices: they are probably going to work for a reasonable fraction of the problems being solved, because most of us (let's face it) are solving extremely similar problems over and over again.

> What is rather interesting (and questionable), though, about the so-called best practices is that they generally lead to less simplicity and more stuff that all needs to be maintained.

That's not been my experience in general, but I try pretty hard to make sure I understand why they are considered best practice and when it's OK to ignore or go against them. For example, a lot of shell scripting "best practices" are terrible remnants of the dawn of time when ASCII ruled the world and nobody had even heard of Bobby Tables: assuming every filename matches ^[A-Za-z0-9_-]{1,8}\.[A-Za-z]{3}$ or something similarly naive, that limited error handling is worse than no error handling at all, or that portability is more important than maintainability.

> The cynic in me suspects a large overlap between 'best practice' and 'someone is trying to sell something'.

Buy my book[1]! ;) Or slightly more seriously, read these[2][3][4][5], spend too much time figuring out how to loop over any files safely, find a blog post explaining how someone else came to the same conclusion, realize how bonkers the solution is, weep a bit, and long for something better than POSIX.

Note that `Readonly<T>` does not prevent a call to side-effect methods when `T` is not among a predefined set of built-in types. Indeed, it prevents such calls only on predefined types such as arrays, maps, and sets. It could be more "accurate" to use `readonly number[]` instead of `Readonly<Array<number>>` for highlighting the difference.
