It is also not a widely used energy source. Nor is direct fatality, especially just looking into the past, the only issue.

Proponents of nuclear power often don't want you to think about what happens when nuclear power has to be doubled, quadrupled, and so on. Nor are the risks really computable at all, with really small chances of extremely bad things happening. And the potential for bad actors at any time.

Perhaps you should consider your part in that. Or if you could have had a more positive impact on his life apart from kicking him when he was down.
Gambling addiction does seem to be a modern problem; not just unregulated forex and options trading, and not just in bitcoin, but also gatcha games and good old fashioned sports betting.

Perhaps this is why Netflix Korean lethal gambling TV series Squid Game is so resonant in the West.
I agree that you shouldn't use SMS. My point was that unless the law (if there is one), requires that 2FA be enabled in an accessible way, the banks will do their own thing with the phone push notification system. The 2FA situation is quite bad in the US too, but a small no. of banks do offer TOTP.

> not the temporary State-Government health orders that some people have tried to blow out of proportion

They banned single mothers from taking their child to playgrounds after being locked in their homes for weeks and then fined them thousands for doing so. They got rid of this absurd rule when cases rose by 3x, further highlighting how absolutely ridiculous it was.

Certain state governments have clearly overstepped the mark and anyone defending them will not go down well in time. Thankfully you can't delete comments here.
You're going too granular. This is about populations that live in certain areas, not specific people on specific days. "depends on where you are" when talking about an over-time risk ratio. The goal isn't to find some dude with weird habits.

And while a population that mostly stays inside a city has a reduced lightning chance, it also has a reduced shark chance. I don't think that's anywhere near the point of equalizing the rate.

If you have an idea for a factor that dramatically reduces lightning risk but doesn't reduce shark risk much, I'm interested.

Because that strategy is extremely ineffective.

These local cops just want a quick grab of free cash from people passing by their roadblocks and to do so with as little noise as possible, as it's corruption. They don't know you and don't know what you have. For them to detain you for any length of time, they have to spend an insane amount of time and effort for a completely unknown result, whilst not being able to do shakedowns on other people passing by. It makes no sense.

With crypto, they have no idea what you have. It would probably still be wise to have tiny amounts of cash on hand to make for a believable story that you own little, rather than nothing (which is suspicious). Also, you should play dumb, like a person not remotely able to comprehend any tech.

In the rare case where such officer is somehow suspecting you own crypto and is really eager to spend a lot of time confiscating it, you go with the distraction wallet strategy. A small crypto wallet which you give up whilst your real wealth is in a bigger wallet. On the bigger wallet, you enable delayed withdrawals and multi-sig. Confiscation will be physically impossible.

Come to think of it, make 500 wallets.
This is a wonderful summary. I know this took a lot of time and effort and the community is better for it.

We seem to live in a world where wishful thinking often overrules facts to our detriment. Yours is a good example that if we want to optimize our actions to promote environmental goals, we need to properly consider those goals and not substitute how we feel about an issue. Thanks for pushing back!
Renewable with strong storage.

Essentially, what we are currently doing to improve.

Besides, according to what I heard from people who actually build plants, it takes about 20 years from starting the process to producing electricity. If that is true, at this point it might be too late to bet on nuclear. Had we started the process of building new nuclear 10 years ago, some new reactors might have been on-line soon-ish, and they be contributing in time to hit our current targets. But if we start the process now, the reactors will be standing, at best in 2030, probably more like 2040. That is too late to hit the Paris agreement targets.

Meanwhile, we see that wind and solar (in Europe) are getting ever bigger. This is meaningful progress about curbing carbon emissions, which is what we need short term.

With that come rightful questions of at what percentage of power coming from wind and solar does the unpredictability, uncontrollability, and instability of those sources becomes to big of an issue. There are probably ways to get that percentage up by adding more storage, but we can probably not push it to 100% solar and wind. So 'what do we do long term' is an important question.

However, it is a different and less pressing question compared to "how do we drop emissions right now, as soon as possible".

For the long term, my guess is massive over-production of renewable electricity going into large, cheap but inefficient storage for both short-term and seasonal dips. I think there will be minor gains from people choosing to use their electricity when there is much excess, but only minor. Similarly, I don't think more reliable sources like gas, or nuclear will have a place. Simply because I think they will not be capital-efficient compared to dumb cheap inefficient storage.

By cheap inefficient storage I am thinking about 50% efficient methods that can easily store MegaWattHours. Things like hydrogen, air-pumped tunnels, liquid metal batteries, seem interesting. When you get payed to take out electricity, and also get payed to deliver it back, you can afford a 50% round-trip loss.
Fossil fuel for electricity is far too risky and the waste problem is entirely unsolved (no solutions exist), and the mining and sourcing of them is an environment and health problem, too (cf. the Middle East).

Nuclear power by comparison is much less dangerous, much better for the environment, has a solved waste problem (modulo protests from "environmentalists" / fossil fuel boosters), and much more stable and reliable sources (Canada and Australia alone have 1/3 of known uranium).
Ok, I know nothing about nuke power. That said, I have a few questions:

Nuclear power is just about making steam isn’t it? Its ultimately about using heat to boil water, isn’t it?

Why can't they continue making steam from this reactor? Its not exactly cooling down, is it?
The term is state actor, anyway.

A state is a sovereign political division, or a subdivision within a federation (France, Arizona).

A nation is a community of people with a common culture, language, ethnicity etc (the Navaho, the Welsh, the Japanese).

When these are the same entity, it's a nation state (Japan), but there are many cases where they aren't the same (Belgium, China, USA, Russia).
Enough so that most countries don't know where to store it and nobody wants it in their backyard. Unfortunately, many democractically run countries don't have much area that is "nobobody's backyard" and at the same time geologically stable enough so no radioactive material will ever leak.

Even "very little waste" is quite a big problem if you don't know where to put it. And proponents of nuclear power want to scale it up by a few times, then run the scheme for a couple hundred years.
>Scientists don’t understand why…

They know exactly why - in the Reuters article they say it's because of the lost moisture from the rain (there is now shelter above the reactor) and that it was expected :D

What a piece of journalistic crap...

It's simply not possible to do so now or in the near future because we don't have nearly enough storage capacity.

Ask HN: How to stop spreading misinformation on private messaging apps
One of the major reasons for spreading misinformation especially in non English speaking communities is through WhatsApp, WeChat, telegram and other regional messaging apps. Considering that they are end to end encrypted and also WeChat which only allows embedded view of external sources in their application, this makes it really hard to solve this without compromising privacy.

So, what are the best possible measures we can take to mitigate the problem a bit or even solve some low hanging fruits?
OVH has many issues.

One of their four data center burned down in march.

A few days ago they sent me an email that they were deleting my account soon, and a few hours later another E-Mail stating that it was an error.

Now this.

Tomorrow is their IPO, it will be at a very high valuation, lets see how that plays out.
In AWS I set up a few lambdas to shut down my instances automatically because I've had some cases where everything crashes so thoroughly that the shutdown doesn't go off.
Not really. I don't mean the area directly occupied by the reactor facility, but rather the exclusion zone of an incident like in Chernobyl or Fukushima.

Not that many people died in these incidents - because those zones were evacuated at great cost.
The Chinese suppliers seem much more nimble with redesigning a product with different parts to make stuff work. Umidigi for example seems to bump model numbers almost every month on some product ranges, and the different models usually have different firmware images, suggesting they're switching components in or out.

I don't regularly watch it because it is too cringe inducing and a total waste of time. But I do occasionally peruse their website and see clips.

The biggest example of their "other side of the coin" is that they are continuing to report that there is evidence of massive voter fraud in the 2020 election and that the election was stolen from Donald Trump.

On their homepage right now, they actually have a piece that is floating the idea that Fauci and the CDC may have introduced the coronavirus on purpose in an insidious plot to force everyone to get serious about vaccination. https://www.oann.com/fauci-hhs-officials-discuss-using-new-v...

Perhaps there is a new dynamic : in the past Apple had a good negotation position because 1) the volume of their orders 2) they were willing to pay a premium as they are in the business of selling premium products.

Now everybody is willing to pay a premium as long as they can get parts.
Translating for our non-Finnish friends:
>Especially young people and women think that nuclear power produces carbon dioxide. 18 percent of the respondents between 18 and 29 years old think that nuclear power warms the climate the most. Also 13 percent of women thought the same.

The rest of the article doesn't talk about nuclear power at all. Based on that I'm not sure how did you end up with the conclusion that "Most of youth in finland think nuclear energy produces lots of waste and are against it", 18 percent doesn't seem majority to me?
Interesting the question you ask. I think neither matters. The users needs have priority IMHO.
Twitter and Reddit are the true status pages
You can't just get rid of the CO2 that was already emitted either. It's going to be in the atmosphere forever.

Also, oil spills make huge tracts of land unlivable, and unfortunately it's almost always fragile marine areas. Whereas the 'nuclear disaster zone' around Chernobyl is now teeming with life. Turns out humans are worse for wildlife than radioactivity...

Would be interesting to see a metric on "average temperature change since 1960" to see which places have been hit hardest by climate change

Saying the planet has increased in temperature by 1.5 degree doesn't mean much - but if a city has increased in temperature by 5 degrees, I think that makes it feel much more "real"
Aspirin lowers risk in Covid ICU admissions: findings support preliminary trial
> The alternative is a world where a ~66% majority (if that) can override the remainder on their medical decisions - which is about as personal as decisions can get.

I'm sure that those who repeat the "rights and freedom" mantra are also aware that there is a tradeoff between individual freedom and the ability to live in a free society, which requires tradeoffs between your own personal freedom and the individual freedom of everyone around you.

The case of Typhoid Mary is a great example. Should she be entitled to dictate her "medical decisions" and not be subjected to any form of quarantine?

Your argument is actually not about freedom at all, but about exceptionalism, entitlements, and excluding yourself from any responsibility or duty towards ensuring that the priviledges you enjoy are also made available to others.
Like other said. Its blackmail for money. Essentially "would be a shame if your website is down during your IPO, maybe you should pay us so we don't DDoS you to hell".

I imagine this is especially common here since one of the services offered by OVH is DDoS protection. Hence being down from a DDoS would be even worse press.
I run a small team in a large organisation, and one that has historically been known for its apathy toward change.

Just prior to Covid we had some churn, and some issues, and I capitalised on that.

I went in to bat for higher wages for the roles I wished to hire for. Updated job descriptions to include newer tech stacks. Put in a position whose focus was on keeping things maintainable and having cross-team standards. I hired for competency, and offered flexible working arrangements but with some initially fixed, bite sized deliverables and quite a bit of breathing room for the team to come up to speed.

I now have a very competent team who have a professional outlook, little drama, decent remuneration, job security, actual professional growth opportunity and flexibility to work from home for at least part of the week. I hope they feel supported and that they can get focus time. My gain is at the expense of those who were not agile enough to change.

Miami and Austin.
"the waste problem is mostly unsolved", the same goes with fossil fuel, per unit energy produced it's way worse.
Many people are "on the spectrum." The big question is: do those who consider themselves "normal" are going to embrace it or fight against it and insist everything is done in the traditional way? The conclusion of the article is they better be careful if they want to stay competitive.

I know the value I bring to my company. But I can bring this value to another company if the current one seems like they don't respect my feelings and the other one does.
I certainly can improve but it hasn't. Rather each year it has gotten longer to build reactors and more expensive. The trajectory is so negative that I am pessimistic it could match solar and wind at this point.
I believe it let's you substitute an entire chain of commits based on some starting commit.

For those active in this field: The article seems to freely interchange "LG Electronics" (Consumer Electronics) with "LG Chem" (Battery and chemical compounds), which I found weird as they are both different companies of LG Group.

In reality it seems the two LG companies will split the settlement of ~1.9bn USD, with LG Chem taking the larger part (~1.6bn USD) and LG Electronics the remainder.

Reason is that in the GM Contract, LG Chem supplied the battery cells and LG Electronics assembled them into battery modules (as it seems LG Chem wasn't offering such a service back then).

Overall this kind of company-split seems to be a thing of the past, as in 2020 the LG Group formed a new company called "LG Energy Solution", which provides battery cells and modules and is in progress to operate two battery plants in joint venture with GM [1]

>known how to recycle/reuse nuclear waste to the point where it is no longer dangerous

The experience of that has been a bit mixed in the real world at Windscale/Sellafield "Europe's largest nuclear site" in the UK.

The incidents section on Wikipedia goes on for pages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sellafield#Incidents

and "The site is due to be fully decommissioned by 2120 at a cost of £121bn."

which doesn't sound ideal for future reprocessing.

> Underneath reactor 4 there is still nuclear fuel that is active and which will take around 20,000 years for it to deplete. The uranium is too radioactive for anyone to live in the city

Bullshit. The uranium is contained and not a threat to anyone. Even in the same building (reactor 3) it's quite safe.

What makes the city dangerous to live in is the cloud of particles that spread over the wide environment immediately after the accident, something that wouldn't have happened if only the Soviets had added a containment vessel.
On AI Industrialization Dilemma and Inspiration from Database Standardization
This year, the controversy about AI industrialization has become a hot topic. There are not only negative phenomena such as criticism of AI “research results are hard to break through in academia, and also difficult to commercialize in industry” from academia, AI scientists leaving the industry and returning to academia, but also positive encouragement from the successful listing of a number of AI unicorns. So, is there an opportunity for AI industrialization? And where are the opportunities?

TI owns fabs. They can prioritize Apple if they want and Apple would be throwing money at them to do so.

Broadcom doesn't own fabs and the AFEM is very unique in packaging as well as fabrication. That's likely to be the bottleneck.

Mathematicians, especially young students often find interesting patterns, correspondences, sequences and proofs.

Sadly the pinnacle of math can make these joyful inventive discoveries pale in comparison modern formulations to quadratic formulas, pythagoras, quaternions, boolean algebra, etc.

History shows us that our own daily math discoveries may really be amazing achievements that we should be very proud of as there was a long period of time when very clever mathematicians knew nothing of the abstraction we just found.

So math history shows us our intuitions are equal to some of the giants whose shoulders we stand on and we are good mathematicians who can find things out for ourselves and not 'bad' mathematicians just because we can't regurgitate lengthy formulas on demand.
