They didn't help their son while he was alive, and blamed the bad outcomes of his life on the single object that seemed to bring him joy. They even turned him away when he came home for help, according to the article.

They allowed their child to degenerate in front of them and it wasn't because of the computer; it was because they didn't do anything for him.

Empathy should be encouraged but in this case the mindset of the parents contributed to their son's suicide, and empathy should be had for the child instead of the parents.

"If they weren't so corrupt and inept they wouldn't be subject to 'abuse', it comes with the job."

It indeed comes with the job, but I think you are trying to shift the blame too much. Politicians cannot possibly do their job in a way that appeals to everyone and step on no one's toes. And some people out there are not entirely sane and the Internet has given them wings.

Every public figure, not just politicians, is a target of stupid hate. Actors, singers, journalists: if your face surfaces on people's screen too often, you will collect a team of disgusting haters.
No. Modern reactors use their pumps to keep the reactor going. Shut them off and the reactor shuts itself off.

They now all have passive safety systems that do not require power.

> When Diogenes asks Alexander to move aside, it demonstrates the limits of this power, and therefore Alexander's virtue as a ruler: someone who doesn't want anything gets exactly as much benefit from this king as from anyone else.

This seems like a trivial fact to me, or I am missing what is notable about this “virtue”.

> If the only thing Alexander can contribute is threats, that would simply make him unvirtuous - and equivalent in power to any armed madman.

I guess so in this specific interaction, but it would be ridiculous to say a person that commands armies is equivalent in power to any armed madman in the big picture. My responses are in the context of societies using money as a tool to incentivize people, to which I am not aware of there being a better known alternative.
One of the spinouts of IPFS is Multiformats, particularly multihashes. It is a standard to describe hashes and provide interop: https://multiformats.io/multihash/ (Or the IPNS dnslink: http://multiformats.io.ipns.localhost:8080/multihash/ )

Correct. I believe you need to randomize the auction time. This massively reduces the speed advantage. Without that speed is as important as ever.

I can just as easily ask: “how do we accomplish it with nuclear?”

The answer—off course—is the same in either case. We build the infrastructure. Renewables and nuclear both require a tremendous amount of infrastructure. Much of this infrastructure would even be the same in either case since we need to move from fossil fuel power to electricity (e.g. electrify rail lines, build high speed train, etc.)

There is off course difference in the electricity generation. Nuclear relies on building really big and expensive plants in locations far away from the consumption. Each design is unique and will take a while from plan to delivery. Renewables on the other hand, have the benefits of diversity of design. It can be distributed and centralized, build far away or close to consumption.

It seems to me that if you want to avoid the climate disaster, doing it without nuclear is actually the easier/more realistic option.
How does this compare to Obsidian in terms of features and extensibility? Thanks.
> Was it the violent video games that turned him this way?

No, it's usually the same reason that causes such people to do nothing but play video games in the first place.

> Maybe if he took the time to work out in a gym and keep on top of his game this all wouldn't have happened

I've been in a situation where playing games and neglecting everything else was kind of my thing. From that perspective this sentence sounds a bit like "just stop being sad". At some point going to the gym is simply not possible, as easy as it may sound. Games are a highly effective distraction from life and everything that comes with it. At least until the day that stops working, at which point it is a good idea to be near people that care and aren't blind to a red flag parade.
This is one of the biggest stated use cases of IPFS as it effectively replaces archive.org with a better version that is more distributed, has better uptime, and more importantly has a much larger and nearly complete and pristine version of the entire internet for conceivably as long as the internet itself exists.
The amount of coal necessary to replace nuclear fuel is about a million times greater. Do you trust those governments to handle 1000000x as much fossil fuel as nuclear? Especially consider the fact that such a large amount of coal has roughly equally as much natural radioactive contaminants as the amount of nuclear fuel that could replace it.

There is an endless stream of pro-nuclear articles ever since the nuclear lobby figured out that their best bet to get re-instated as a viable source of power is to hitch their wagon to climate change. But it doesn't change a thing about the underlying issues: non-proliferation, radio active waste, potential for accidents, very bad economy over the total operational life-span.
While this paper is interesting for identifying an interesting relatively unstudied carbon sink, I am confident no one on this website, including me, is in a good position to understand all the implications of it. I found the conclusions to be pretty complex and speculative. All in all, all it shows is that we have no idea what's going to happen and when.
There’s been a very serious public enquiry about that. (There’s also now been a policy response.)

Do you think the issues of Grenfell could have been solved by immediate action? I think an enquiry to figure out what went wrong was necessary.

You also seem to think there’s been a swift, wide reaching response to the MP’s murder. I’m not sure what that is, since this policy proposal has merely been mooted.

I would love to see something like this happen, basically force Facebook and Twitter to become boring message boards that require some higher quality forms of engagement to reach a broader audience (if reaching a broader audience should even be possible).

The problem is that Yyu'd essentially be killing one of the primary revenue generators for these companies, which are already built on top of fundamentally unsustainable business models in terms of actually managing content. The thing is that you'd have to define what exactly "high-emotion" posts are and how content will be assessed, which is effectively a form of censorship.
This is a static dataset. You'll want to ask that question about "Project Aria".

for example, can FB provide a list of recording locations and times, so I can request my image/audio removed?

How good is facebook's anonymisation system? what % of faces can be removed (on average)

Has every single piece of footage captured with Aria been anonymised?
I almost wonder if it would've been more humane to force him to do the community service.

Edwin was definitely clinically depressed even before his run-in with the law. When I go through bouts of depression, I also get introverted and have trouble forcing myself to interact with folks IRL. Volunteering at schools and in nature (trail work) forces social interaction and physical exercise, both of which help me break out of the depressive state. I sort of impose community service on myself when I feel my mental state slipping.

Everyone is different, of course, but forcing Edwin to do something physical and social outdoors for a few months might well have saved his life.
> Well, Europe's nuclear power plants are on average more than 35 years old

Which is half of their lifetime by American standards.

That means 75% of availability. Good luck finding any renewable source with such a figure ;).
It's something I really can't get into my head. Why build a structure where promotion only means upwards in responsibility/into management. Just pay good people more to extend their tenure.
Seems wildly reductive to assume that over 22 years they didn't ever really try to raise him.

I mean you could be right, but chances are, they did try.
I am Dutch, also owned (and still own) multiple bikes.

Theft is a big problem in The Netherlands, and some police districts are overburdened. If it happens, report the frame number as stolen to police.

All of my bikes except the ones for my young kids have gears. Even the cargo bike...

The third bike I owned (at around age 12) was a MTB made of aluminium frame. It was noticeably lighter. It was quite a bit more expensive, too. Oh, and it got stolen somewhere in my 20s. I had to buy a new bicycle while on a tighter budget, so no aluminum.

However the point that US is not made for biking I have heard before. Almost nobody here uses helmets. Smartphone usage on bicycle gets you a 100 EUR fine, its a recent law and it is a serious problem. But at least car driver is by default to blame if accident occurs. That and dedicated lanes helps with security. And since all kids go to school via bicycle this helps keeping them in shape, plus there is community interest in secure, safe roads.
Politicians are also popular inciters these days and pretty much universally shielded from responsibility for it (Trump's social media ban is one of the few cases where I'm aware of any of them being punished at all for acts of incitement).

Rather comically, the morons in control of the social media companies have done Trump an extraordinary favor. They've made him look better than he otherwise would by denying him access to the megaphone. They're considerably helping him in the lead up to 2024 by keeping him off the social media platforms where he'd otherwise be constantly putting his foot in his mouth and reminding center voters why they elected Biden. The best thing social media companies could do if they wanted to stop the inbound 2024 Trump campaign, would be to let him actively Tweet.
I have found song, artist and playlist radio to be extremely effective at discovering new music. For example, Monday rolls around and I hit my discover weekly, say I like a song, I hit the song radio and go down a discovery rabbit hole, try it.

> all over this new structure

I completely agree, and they are going to use the same tools. The question is if this change is a net positive trade for the economy, and that I don’t know but I have heard reasonable arguments in favor.
Waste has never been a problem and especially isn't a problem with modern reactors. They're safer than coal burning plants. Their economies are much better than alternatives when you account for the cost of environment, life, and pollution for things like coal burning plants. I feel like I've had to debunk all of these points literally a dozen times on HN and I'm really tired of putting in the effort.
I'm not 100% either, but IIRC there were different groups working with C# back in the day. Microsoft was the largest, but least open. I think Xamarin was one of the large open groups that was developing for/with C#.

The .NET foundation was supposed to make C# a vendor and platform agnostic language from what I understand, giving Microsoft and others like Xamarin a seat at the table.
That’s a good question and I don’t think we have all the answers yet. But I expect that many functionalities will need to request and get consent from 3rd parties.

Sounds like a real shitshow all around. Building IPSec tunnels between ASAs isn’t rocket science.

I would be worried about downstream issues with the security architecture, especially down the road when you pick up clients with compliance requirements.
Massive investments in renewables, capping your personal energy budget to something reasonable rather than what you can afford from a financial perspective, aiming for energy neutrality in buildings (doable, I've seen demonstration setups in the early 2000's).

And even then: we can no longer avoid climate change, you can take that to the bank. The very best we can do is limit the impact of the climate change that is inevitable now.
That assumes we know definitively to what degree reducing anthropogenic climate change will reduce overall climate change, and that creating energy grids with more problems and less adaptability (which lessens our ability to create the kind of infrastructure we would inevitably need to protect vulnerable areas from natural climate change) and the downstream losses from that will prevent interventions that we might need to do anyway with less energy and wealth.

Nuclear seems like a great option because it avoids needing to resolve that cost benefit analysis. It reduces CO2 without causing energy grid problems. The newer reactors in particular seem like a pretty definitive win on all fronts. There are a bunch of promising sounding companies trying to get into that space and it sounds like the major roadblock for all of them is regulatory, not technicals or R&D expense at this point (seems like there are existing designs which have been prototyped/are ready to go, just can’t get built due to red tape; one US company moved to Indonesia out of frustration, design seems safe and low cost -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TMSR-500?wprov=sfti1)

"According to a review of community service orders carried out in 2007, maintenance work, gardening, cleaning and kitchen work or a combination of activities were the most common" [1]

It says the Dutch system is based on the British one, where typical jobs are things like graffiti cleaning, litter picking, cleaning other outdoor areas (e.g. derelict land), assisting in a care home or home for disabled people.

Some of these could be more social than Edwin would have wanted, and could also have been (relatively) physicially demanding.

yeah, if we don't have blackouts this year i'll be pleasently surprised. As this "plans" roll out w/o nuclear, we will become more dependant on gas from Russia. And as the blackouts roll out, we will have a portion of the electorate that will vote to get back to fossil fuels.

Also this part seems like a lie.
This is part of the reason I like that the first phase of Google's current quantum computer roadmap is "physics derisking" [1]. There's no known reason that it should be impossible to make a thousand qubits dance together in a highly controlled way and get the expected results, but maybe there are some unexpected or unknown obstacles.

That being said, if physics derisking failed, it seems really unlikely to me that it would be because quantum mechanics itself was wrong as opposed to there just being some unforseen problematic error mechanism that was consistent with quantum mechanics. Finding a flaw in quantum mechanics itself would be a scientific revolution, which would be awesome, but those are also pretty rare.

I also think it's a little telling that people keep thinking it's the philosophically unsatisfying parts of quantum mechanics that are going to break, when entering a new regime. It smells of confirmation bias.

>shut off the pumps and radioactive decay alone can be enough to eventually cause a melt down in many modern designs

The newest designs being built worldwide use natural circulation cooling and do not need cooling pumps in emergencies. Eventually the cooling pool needs to be refilled, but it's external to the containment pressure boundary, so you could refill it with a fire truck.

It seems like you assume that other sources of energy are without waste and accidents. Nuclear power has by far the lowest number of deaths / produced energy and the total volume of waste is not that much. During all time of nuclear, the total volume of waste is about the annual waste produced by solar cells.

See a nice summary (with sources you can check) at https://energy.glex.no/calculator
To be fair, there are a lot of countries that I would not trust to build safe nuclear ships. There'd need to be a shitload of regulation around the building of these ships.
This conclusion seems so obvious. I guess it's useful to have some hard data but I'll skip the hoopla.

> The tacking on of typing features feels superfluous in a language thats not compiled or even strongly typed.

Python has always been strongly typed (Python has strong dynamic typing). Adding typechecks moves it towards being gradually/statically-typed.
There is no evidence for this and it's baseless speculation at best.
Whereas solar panels and wind energy of course have no lobby whatsoever and are only being promoted by idealistic, well meaning activists that can be trusted 100%.
In the case of Yucca Mountain, a number of proposals were floated to give concessions to the State of Nevada in return for cooperation. There was a proposal put forward a couple decades ago to allow storage in exchange for returning unused Federal land to State control. ~85% of Nevada (and increasing) is Federally controlled. This creates significant economic problems for Nevada due to the practical restrictions on growth and land use. Most of this land has no Federal purpose and is not actively managed, it is simply under Federal control and subject to their whims that change with each administration, creating a sparse patchwork of private property the use of which effectively requires Federal permission.

This proposal was flatly rejected by the Federal government, even though it would have come at no cost (indeed, it would have saved money by reducing administration costs of land they have no purpose for in any case). Generally speaking, the Federal government has been unwilling to grant any concessions to States for taking the nuclear waste.
Google has deteriorated over the past 10 years. I think that librarians will remain relevant.
For 35 years the green movement told us to use Fossil Fuels, and forced a moratorium on new nuclear plants. Fast forward to now and ponder how they thought they were right all along.

What about the long-term solution for the storage and disposal of combustion by-products? Do we just keep dumping them into the atmosphere?

This argument against nuclear waste is an emotional one: the fact that we can see, store, and move nuclear by-products is an advantage. We completely lose control of combustion by-products that we dump into the atmosphere; they are simply perceived as less dangerous to our monkey brains.

The failure mode of coal power plants is continuous, and the damage caused by the sum of all fission disasters is nothing compared to the damage caused (including radioactive) by burning coal under normal circumstances, each year.

There is obviously no contest compared to wind/solar.
Sure, pull the other one. You can't credibly debunk any of these because they've been a problem with every reactor built to date. You can pretend that they won't be a problem for any of the 'new and untried designs', however, I'm pretty sure that by the time that we build them and operate them for a couple of decades they'll turn out much the same as the previous lot, which were also supposed to be cheap, non-polluting, reliable and absolutely never subject to anything remotely like an accident.

Why people keep falling for this is a mystery to me.

Comparing with coal burning plants is nonsense, compare to wind/hydro/solar on a long enough timescale rather than to compare with the most polluting fossil fuel. That's stacking the deck in favor of nuclear.

I'm sure nuclear has its place in this whole story, but let's not pretend that it is without problems, at best it will be a stepping stone.
Mosaic supported form fields, before Netscape even started. Eg, https://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/book4/ch02.html .
