By definition slaves are ill treated because slavery in itself is terrible. To be clear here, even if your master was individually kind you existed in a system where you had no rights, if you were a witness to a crime you would have to be tortured during your testimony to prove it's true, where you were not fully protected from the law by assaults from any free person, and where you could be sold at any point. It was considered perfectly acceptable for a "kind" master to rape and beat you at any time. Slavery is always a horrendous thing.
You're talking about issues that I never witnessed anybody facing, that's all I have to say. You don't have to be an ass about it. You don't know me, and my managing style so you can keep your judgement for yourself.

Git is not hard, most developers, from junior to experienced do fine with it with really little learning on their own, no need to micromanage anybody.
This is ridiculous. In the UK it is accepted that all students get their own room, although they usually share facilities like bathrooms and kitchens etc. And they all have windows.

It is very different having a two week cruise, or working 9-5 in an office, but to have a windowless room as your only private space for 3 years+ is unhealthy and unfair on a segment of the community who get very little say in their living arrangements in any case.

This is a 98 year old man who thinks he is special because he is rich, and therefore everything he turns his hand to will be the best and damn those who disagree.

>no? hydrogen to helium is by far the best.

Not necessarily for humans. Stars get to be gravity-mass containment/fusion pressure automoderated, but there is nothing known even in blue sky to manipulate gravity beyond sheer mass. So humans have to deal with containing via electromagnetism and relatively little isolated surrounding matter, which means we have to deal with both ignition thresholds and the issue of neutrons. In stars neutrons provide heat/energy by sheer virtue of hitting stuff as they pass out from the core, and obviously radioactivity isn't a concern. But it's definitely an issue for a power plant, where neutrons mostly represent wasted energy since we don't have any good way to harness them for useful work, plus they'll activate surrounding materials over time which is also an irritation. So the ideal fusion may be aneutronic, which then faces tradeoffs of fuel availability vs ease of production.

For example terms of plain ease of engineering/compactness etc, helium-3 would probably be the best fuel. But helium 3 is also super ultra rare and effectively nonexistent naturally on Earth. We'd have to get it from space, or breed it from neutronic reactors which obviously isn't ideal (might be worth it as a compact fuel for far future spacecraft though). On the opposite side hydrogen-boron fusion requires much much higher ignition energy, greatly complicating actually building a working plant, but the fuels themselves are readily available. There are other potential ones between, or maybe we just suck it up and deal with neutron activation (still a lot less radioactivity than in fission plans), which could be moderated with more careful selection of construction materials.

At any rate, we're definitely not yet at the point where we can really say what the "best" fusion cycle will be, and it's perfectly possible we'll even end up with multiple (He3 for vehicle/more portable reactors, H-B or D-D for massive stationary ones say).
From my point of view the store model simply is more convenient for consumers and worth the extra price. I know that I stopped pirating games, music and movies when I started using Steam, Spotify and Netflix.

> Getting out of the car

Some cars do have remote-control drive features these days, so you can reverse it from outside the car, but that's a super high-end feature (designed for getting in to and out of extremely tight city parking spaces) and relies on the chips that are in shortage, so that's not a solution.

To me, Github is a code repository and Discord is synchronous chat. I personally find both Github and Discord to be much harder platforms to extract information and ask questions than wikis, fourms and subreddits.
I was watching "Undecided with Matt Ferrell" on it Dr. Martin Greenwald said that 0.1g deuterium and 0.3 lithium fused in a fusion power plant would release enough energy to power a typical US home for a year. Actually he said energy needs for an American so he may have meant more than electrical power.

From what I can see the typical US home uses 10,715kWh/year which is 38,574,000,000 Joules.
We used the same takehome for years, and eventually there were a few solutions online that were easy to find. But for some reason, they all sucked, so we never had to worry about unqualified candidates copying them.
>Steam on Linux after opening up access to everyone was seeing around a ~2% marketshare prior to falling with the setbacks in Linux gaming. But ever since Steam Play (Proton) was introduced in 2018, it's begun rebounding. This past month it set a new multi-year high with a 1.13% marketshare for Steam on Linux after surpassing the 1.0% mark this summer.

From 1% to 1.13%. Isn't it glorious?

>Also, it's fun to note the "lords" of various general topics. Find an article about a person in the right-wing political sphere and you're very likely to find the same small set of "Wikipedian" toadies ruling over it with an iron fist. I'm sure the same goes for many other topics that aren't about politics.

These people are effectively activists who use wikipedia's reputation for objectivity to disguise what amounts to propaganda. The network of bullies lean almost exclusively in one political direction and any remotely political article will be immediately swarmed if edited with wrongthink - regardless of how well it is sourced. It's not just dishonest, it's dangerous that people are coming to wikipedia, reading articles with subtle but overwhelming bias, and leaving with the impression that they read something objective. Just check the talk page for anything adjacent to politics - you will inevitably see rabidly left leaning full time editors piling onto any remotely right of center edits.

Having had 3 doses (I'm overweight, they offered me a 3rd shot at a recent appointment), I had about 6 hours of mild fatigue so far from the vaccines (a day after the 2nd shot). Par for the course for anyone I've talked to about it, with some people having more like a day of fatigue.

Many fewer vaccinated people are getting infected than unvaccinated, so the comparison between people that do get infected isn't the whole story.
Nice try, Charlie Munger
Now think of the people that actually live or lived in a fascist regime - is that really what you are comparing your life to?

Warcraft II is a bad example here - it's completely unplayable if you're used to any kind of modern RTS. Terrible unit AI (not computer AI), selection limits, no rally points or queuing. It also has just 2 factions. Starcraft, which only came out just over 2 years later, blows it away from gameplay perspective. Warcraft 3 came out in 2002 (6 and half years after Warcraft 2) and represents an even larger improvement in gameplay and a huge increase in complexity (all of the improvements from Starcraft carried over, 3D terrain, perspective and unit rendering, 4 factions). Arguably that's when things started to slow down in terms of improvements - the gap between Starcraft 2 (2010) and Warcraft 3 (2002) is much smaller than the gap between Warcraft 3 and Starcraft 1 (1998), which in turn is much smaller than the gap between Starcraft 1 and Warcraft 2 (1995).
In theory Mr. White could sue the individual wikipedia contributor rather than wikipedia themselves. I tend to agree with GP, though. There is a fundamental difference between a “content provider” who is attributing content to themselves (as on social media platforms) vs a content provider whose content is attributed to the interactive computer service.

Surely if @Jack sent a defamatory tweet both he and Twitter could be held responsible. He’s both a user and an agent of Twitter. I think Wikipedia contributors are both users and agents in the same way.
If by "the old way" you mean, like, with a modem, aka "dial up"?

It's less bad now, but being a miner is not much better nowadays, even more so since most of the mines are in poor countries with little care for the workers and rich countries would prefer not to think too hard where the iron for their eco-conscious steel bottle is coming from.

I've never had this happen. If there's anything to praise about Discord is that they have one of the best at-scale AV chat systems on the planet in my experience, and I've used a lot of them.

No idea what you're talking about. The only thing in Discord with infinite scroll is a channel chat frame, which isn't where you look for notifications.

I've literally never had this problem nor have I heard of anyone having this problem. Sounds like a browser issue.
> Even with sources and pushback from other moderators, it’s hard to compete with people with an agenda and a lot of time.

Exactly! This, writ large, is why a small disciplined group can take over a bureaucracy that allows open participation in decision making processes.

You see this, for example, in everything from city council meetings to the state department.

Which explains why bureaucracies always end up with some ideological litmus test of us vs them applied to screen out who is allowed to participate, whether because the bureaucracy doesn't want to be taken over by an ideological group, or whether it has already been taken over by an ideological group, the ends result is the same -- every bureaucracy develops an ideology that it defends.

Taking this back to wikipedia, we see why no project like wikipedia can actually be "neutral". At best you can have a variety of ideological biases for different topics, with the most fanatical group's ideology dominating any given topic.

In most games there is a RNG at the bottom that makes it interesting, the dice roll.

I imagine our universe the same way, even if it is deterministic the origin (big bang) was probably based on some kind of random seed to setup the initial state like a procedural game, either that or its determinism all the way down, but what does that mean, what gave everything its current configuration?

Of course you can start talking about god, but without some outside entropy we are back to no free will, if god is the source of entropy then there is no choice no free will only his will, if he is not the source where does it come from?

Single executable files are very nice because you don't need to run `apt install <14 dependencies>` to try a piece of software, you just try it and if you don't like it, you delete it without any cruft left on your system.

Go and Rust are two languages whose compilers produce statically-linked executables and they are growing in popularity, so you should expect to see more and more of these kinds of programs. And as these programs become more spread, I expect that other languages (either existing or new) will make it easier for developers to distribute their projects as single files.

The question of whether the vaccines are experimental does not hinge upon the proclamations of a captured regulatory agency with a revolving door to the companies it's regulating. They have approved an experimental vaccine.

Not only that, but you can't actually get the approved Comirnaty version of the Pfizer shots. The "legally distinct" EUA injections are still the only ones available. The FDA's "approval" is a bait-and-switch.
Blinds are far less expensive than windows. It doesn’t make sense for a company to put windows everywhere but then not be able to afford some cheap window coverings. Every window-covered office I’ve ever worked in has had roller shades that were very effective at controlling glare. They’re even electronic so they can be automated. It’s not difficult or expensive.

As a counterpoint, I worked at a company where the engineering manager thought all engineers wanted to work I dark caves, so that’s what we got.

Except most adults don’t want to work in dark caves so a lot of us ended up working from the common spaces to be exposed to some natural light. Eventually we ended up working from home because there was no way I could last in a dark cave every single day.

> When I was in college, I would have killed for a simple room where I could close and lock the door and have no external light pollution.

Blocking out light is easy. Put up curtains or a sheet.

But you can’t go the other way. There’s no way to add natural light, exterior views, and opportunity for fresh air after the building has been constructed.

With windows, everyone can choose. Without windows, there is no choice.
It’s not like you can blame POSIX for this — they had to standardize existing behavior.

I'm thinking of battery backed solar farm in Hawaii that cost around $70/MwH and supplied about 1/5th of the power for the island. There's a few new projects in California/Nevada/Colorado that are allegedly costing around $30-40MwH (although I'm skeptical of how much storage they have for that price).

Either way, conservatively speaking, $50-60/MwH for battery backed wind/solar on the mainland seems fairly doable. Prices will likely keep dropping too.

By contrast, in the UK Hinkley Point C is being paid $124/MwH guaranteed for 20 years. It doesn't exist because it's a cost effective way of supplying green energy that's for sure, but it does bolster the nuclear economy. The military do like to hire nuclear technicians and buy parts for PWRs in nuclear subs, etc. and somebody has to pay for these things. Rate payers, I guess.

> I do not like the app store model. I rather buy from the developer.

You, as a person might not like it and you as a developer might like to directly sell games, but as pointed out above, Steam/Valve does make it easier for the developer to be legally clear in terms of taxes, refunds, etc. and also makes it easier to distribute by leveraging their "warehouse" which some do prefer.
Fantastic result. Just as predicted— there is no acceptable way to engage with this comment on HN.
It’s Southern California. I went to school in Arizona, and pretty much everyone put foil over their dorm-room windows. My sister went to UCSB. Their house had blackout curtains.

This building won’t win any architectural awards. But the idea makes sense and the objections don’t stand given the tradeoffs (fewer rooms, multiple students per room and/or higher cost) they would require.
Wikipedia needs to implement editor rotation the way CPAs are only permitted to audit a public company so many times before another firm must take over the audit. It keeps things from getting too cozy. Reddit should probably implement the same policy with mods for the larger subs.
Who made them mandatory? When and where? You have other blind spots, too, and manufacturers know that relying on a camera makes drivers neglect their other blind spots - Skoda cars even pop up a toast notification saying "Look around, is it safe to move?" to try and discourage lazy drivers thinking the computer is a replacement for a brain.

But all this feels like a moot point, anyway. I understood the main argument to be advocating the use of physical controls, not the removal of safety sensors and cameras.

The difference is that Syria is thousands of miles away and poses no threat to you, unlike a supposedly deadly pandemic.

>Also the Pfizer vaccine's been approved, it's no longer 'experimental

This is dishonest. The fact that a political machine suspended due process and rushed a politically and financially motivated approval does not imply that the vaccine is no longer experimental. We still don't even know how well or for how long it works, judging by the rapidly falling efficacy numbers over time. In addition to the paradoxical statistics showing record cases in the most highly vaccinated countries.

It took five years for the mutagenicity of thalidomide to be discovered, but not before causing severe birth defects in thousands of children. Meanwhile we've just given the green light to billions of doses with absolutely no medium or long term safety data, in a political climate where questioning vaccine safety/efficacy is social and career suicide. Practically asking for trouble under such circumstances.
Play only on linux since the last year or so and got away from the dedicated windows machine i had to have for only gaming. I had some bugs in the beginning but with recent versions of proton it feels a lot more stable. I don't have any bugs anymore in any games and don't notice any slowdowns or degraded performance. It is quite amazing.

The problem is that the way the medium works is that the only way to post something for someone else to see utilizing the wildly adopted protocols (http(s)/html/etc) is to have the item downloaded and copied. The attitude is very much like if someone performed a song, and then got upset that people could remember the song in their heads ("You owe me everything you recall the tune from memory or sing it to yourself in the shower"). This is just how the brain works.
Trouble is nuclear costs go up, solar goes down: graph https://www.ncwarn.org/wp-content/uploads/Solar-Nuclear_grap...

Batteries etc are falling too, so project ahead so solar seems to win out. Which is good news really as we've had nuclear for decades and it still hasn't stopped developing countries burning fossil fuels and probably never will. On the other hand if solar costs like a quarter that of fossil it'll probably take over.
