According to the linked sources in Portuguese, CNEN (the government nuclear energy authority) knew about the Cesium machine from the moment the address of IGR (the owners of the machine) changed.

IGN and a lawyer expert in the matter claimed that the authorisation for moving the machine could only come from CNEN.

If anything, that's gross negligence from CNEN. IGR seemed very exasperated during the whole process, if they were really fighting court orders that prevented them from having access to the place (and the machine).

--

EDIT: However, according to this court sentence [2], it seems that IGR never told anything to CNEM:

> Then, under pressure to leave the site, the IGR transferred its headquarters to another address, and ended up abandoning the obsolete Cesium-137 bomb in the old building, without even notifying the CNEN or the State Health Secretariat of the fact.

> On 05/04/87, the demolition of the building began, by order of the former partner of IGR, AMAURILLO MONTEIRO DE OLIVEIRA, culminating with the almost total destruction of the original building, which left it without a roof, doors or windows, despite the existence of the aforementioned Cesium-137 bomb on the site, without any warnings or notices.

The difference is that one has no health benefits whatsoever. Its done for all the wrong reasons. That's why it is called FGM. The other one, circumcision, has actual health benefits when carried out properly. Like preventing all sorts of stuff accumulating under your foreskin, and also preventing phimosis. So you really want to discuss these two totally different things under the same topic? That's ridiculous.

I did, a few comments up. This:

> idempotency implies that Ansible always starts from nothing and builds from there

...is wrong. It might be true that Ansible is unusable in your environment for some reason, but that's quite different fromage this specific false claim.

Here are a few more quotes that imply you should learn about Ansible before critiquing it for your use case (or, if you don't have time, then refrain from critiquing it in general):

> Don't I still need to know shell programming for Ansible?

No, Ansible uses a custom non-shell syntax and python modules. You can dip into shell scripts but you don't have to. Examples are everywhere in the Ansible documentation.

> Does this mean that every time I want to change my server I have to wait 15 minutes for it to re-install the distro and re-configure everything?

No. Ansible will examine your existing system and apply the changes you configure. Idempotency does not imply or require a functional-like OS or rebuilding from scratch; Ansible is more imperative.

I think the web and Internet have some centralization obviously but they are good counterexamples to a theoretical corporate monopoly or duopoly over a computing medium.

As far as “the final platform” bit, it’s an opinion but if you presume we get to a point where most humans are having their auditory and visual systems being overridden by a hardware/software computing stack, it’s hard to think of a breakout event from that that is analogous to eg PC -> mobile. There will be competition and iteration, but overall the inputs and outputs to that system are (body state) -> (photons, sound) and that seems like it won’t really change for a long time, if ever, so harder to disrupt at the root.
Always been fascinating to me that we only bolt a heat sink onto one side of the board. Nobody's come up with a circuit board material that's electrically insulating but thermally conductive so we could sink an appreciable amount of heat out of the back side?
What would be the point of incinerating contaminated material? This isn't a biological threat like bacteria or poison in which case the chemical alteration of the substance through fire negates the threat. Wouldn't the radioactivity remain either in ash or fumes?
I have emailed him about adding /shownew and /asknew to /lists. Let's see how it goes!
Yes, but on the other hand, my toast relation now needs (e.g.) 4x the amount of blocks it would have had when compression was enabled. So we have a net 0 storage savings, except that we now need to request 4x as many pages from the OS to get the full toast data, those pages taking up 4x as much space in Postgres' shared buffers, also evicting 4x as many pages from the buffers as it would have otherwise.

Unless your read operations to the file system are somehow very cheap, I don't think disabling toast compression is a good idea.

> Ultimately the fundamental cause of this is the application of capitalist and for-profit systems to scientific research

This is an unsupported declarative statement, and I view the evidence as pointing in the opposite direction. For-profit publishers are filling a “need” that is entirely due to the culture and economics of academia.

A good portion of the economics has nothing whatsoever to do with private enterprise, and instead involves academic career paths and grant applications, often to non-profit or government grantors.

Imagine that all of academia elects, tomorrow, to jettison for-profit publishers and self-organize around open access. Would that change the fundamental economics in a meaningful way? The money to pay researchers is not coming from publishers.
> The press is lazy and incurious. They don't pursue stories, they reprint press releases. And the even sadder part is they believe the press releases and report accordingly.

Mostly true, and sad part if enough do that, then the rest follow.

Kinda also gets down to how many likes a press release gets upon social media and we all know how that is a rose-glassed slant of the full public opinion.

Fair enough. I think the original Datapoint design for what became the 8008 was even entirely serial, including the memory. I guess I should have said it would have been exceptionally more annoying. It's hard enough to get a computer out of it. So it'd be impossible in the sense that they wouldn't have met the goal of getting that relatively easy kit out of it and there wouldn't have been any PC.

I always though that "command -v" was more portable than "which": "command -v" is specified in posix and should always be present but "which" is not.

But all my knowledge about that comes from a small drama some times ago when a debian maintainer wanted to remove "which" from its current package (see https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/874049/bf89a969ed3dde87/).

Hasn't been a problem for me, so far (and it's been around 35 years). Learning how to respectfully say "no" is an important life skill. Pays dividends way beyond just not being treated as the office Wikipedia.

We seem to have unrealistically low opinions of our peers. I don't know if I've ever worked with anyone that has wanted me (or anyone else) to do their work for them. I have known a number of folks that were "in over their heads," and tried to hide the fact, but it never lasted too long. I guess I've been fortunate.
Yes, and I hope companies and employees reconsider each other in the future. Sometimes companies have a hang-up about rehiring an employee that voluntarily left (I heard Bloomberg is an example), or some employees vow never to return to X company.
> When the databases were not in cloud, the ops was done by dba’s and key prefix compression thats omnipresent today was likely not that common or potentially not even implemented/available.

To my understanding, for example Firebird/Interbase had automatic key prefix compression as far back as early 2000s at the very least. I don't believe you could even turn it off.

Just a little remark, a few times I was just clicking "memorized" for several countries and didn't notice when it was actually a question, and clicked "submit" by error.

I think there should be more difference between the "memorized" and the "submit" buttons.

The game also considers French overseas territories as "countries" and uses some local flag for some.
I produce sample-based music[0] - and - like a lot of sample-based producers, also listen to a lot of vinyl.

Listening to records, I will instantly know when I hear a ‘sample’. I’ll put the needle back and play it a few times - importantly (hence turntables) - play with the speed and pitch in a lossless way - and eventually record, trim, loop it, and load it into my AKAI sampler or my DAW.

YMMV

Gain of function? You realize that mother nature is far more sophisticated than us humans. She has manufactured many plagues over the eons. we will likely never come up with viruses that have the kind of crazy cascading systemic building block chaos causing destruction in the human body. Radiation doesn't count because we just figured out we could harness it, but we have very little control over that. Viruses make ionic radiation look like child's play as just like ionizing radiation, studying the thing could kill you within days/weeks/months. You have a voodoo science belief that Dr Evil might create the next real zombie, only @9pm on Fox.
it's funny how everybody thinks 23andme has some sort of grand plan. they had a grand plan. it didn't work out. now they provide a service that tells you who your relatives are and where you came from (genetically), which works well.

As soon as we published a security.txt, we started received multiple beg bounties on a weekly basis.

The thing is, that responding to them (regardless what you write) often triggers a drip mail campaign with sad stories of how the 'hackers' are trying to pay for college, or their sick mother, or whatever typical scam story they can come up with. Within days you'll be sifting through dozens of emails, trying to find legit, serious reports.

This increases the risk that you skim over a serious report. You now risk a reputation problem, because if you do not reply in a timely manner, some hackers will resort to publication as a way of public shaming. Please, if you are a legit white hat hacker, try to understand with how much junk reports we have to go through. Obviously, we want to credit real hackers :-)

Anyway, we deleted our security.txt. This dropped the number of beg bounties significantly (no more automated emails). A real human hacker will find a contact address anyway.

Everything is fuzzy and a lot of things are subjective, but that doesn't disqualify them from being a point of contention. I brought up opioids because the same logic applies. Although finer, there's still a fuzzy line between manageable recreational use and destructive addiction. Not knowing exactly where the line is doesn't turn it into a special case where nothing can be said.
You're talk about drawing lines but I haven't mentioned anything about that. I don't have some personal line where everyone past it is bad. I'm just saying that exploiting addictive design is bad, and people taking advantage of that are being unethical in proportion to the extent that they are doing it.

Also, I was careful to not blame addictive design itself, it's not evil inherently, because like you said, many games have some degree of addictiveness. I said exploiting addiction is the bad part. You can use it to incentivize healthy behaviors that make for a better game, one that respects the player's time and ideally even enriches them in some way, by telling the narrative in a stronger way, or teaching competition or hand-eye coordination in a better way, or just being more fun in a better way. You can also use it to extract more money from players, or more ad views, or more social anxiety, or shallowly pad the experience to feel like you're getting more "value" out of the game. Again, all of this is fuzzy, not black and white evil, it's just that responsible creators should take the time to consider their own values and be conscious of the decisions they make, understanding that what they do have repercussions on others. We should create things in reference to our values - it's easy to just blindly autopilot to the default rubric of "maximize revenue".
Yeah, it's gaudy. If you want cheery that everyone agrees on except architects and city planners, you go with detailed neoclassical-ish brick buildings. Beautiful, homey, charming, relaxing.

> Saying “look at me, I never ask for money” is so immature and privileged

If I find a vulnerability in your website, I'll disclose it publicly in 90 days, and I want $$$$ to disclose it to you early, that sounds extremely close to me blackmailing you for protection money.

Whereupon you might well decide, instead of paying, that you'll go to the cops and try to get me arrested for blackmail/hacking.

To me, a policy of never asking for money isn't "privilege", it's common sense.

Show HN: I built Flaggy, an app to share 'flags'
Hello all,
I built this small app a while ago while learning Ionic development, and I thought it would be nice to share it with other tech people !

I was fed up having to exchange messages in order to know if the letterbox had been emptied while getting home, or to tell my wife that I was safely back from a mountaineering trip, etc...so I thought there might be some easier solution to share 'flags' !!

After a few beers with friends, I came up with the idea of Flaggy !!

Simply put, this app allows to raise 'green/red flags' that are shared with relatives, friends, family, etc... A flag being a 'thing to do' ('is the car park free ?', 'is shopping done ?'), or a 'status' ('will I atend Thrusday's evening beer', etc...), or whatever you want to share.

I also added 'private' flags, group flags, etc... all of this without any registration, and a simple UI !

This was my first attempt at Ionic, and it helped me a lot to learn this nice tool !!

Hope you will like it ! Any feedback welcome !

Link -> https://www.flagit.ch/ No more useless messaging !!
