Unlike designing a fusion reactor, or going to the Moon, here nature is fighting you every step of the way. There are a host of instabilities working against confining a burning plasma. It’s not that it’s impossible to create a practical reactor; it’s that mitigating all of these natural processes will lead to a device of immense complexity. The key point is this: even the most optimistic fusion fans say we might have grid power from fusion, if all goes really well, in another 30 years or so. Look at the recent progress in photovoltaics; the only remaining obstacles are in energy storage, which also has seen great progress in the last few years. Is there any serious doubt that in 30 years we could have a solar power economy if we really wanted it? Why, in that case, would we choose fusion instead, even if it worked? It would be more expensive, more prone to failure, more fragiley centralized, and it comes with some hazards: low-level radioactive waste, tritium, and more. So I’m not saying that it’s impossible. It’s not a perpetual motion scheme. However, further expenditure aimed at fusion energy is simply pointless.
I wonder what Carl Sagan would say about Black Friday.
> The problem is there are likely very competent engineers living in low cost of living areas who would gladly bid lower than your high "city salary" to maintain their preferred way of life.

And there always have been. There’s always been a pool of labor either in the Midwest or Ukraine that companies could call on. Maybe trying to hire top talent while playing arbitrage on salaries either isn’t that easy, or isn’t worth the (relatively) small amount saved?
Hackernews is simultaneously the most cantankerous and, imho, highest quality response on average public forum on the net. I absolutely love it here and sincerely appreciate this place. I feel like I’ve grown up on this site in so many ways.

I am continually humbled by not just the consistent quality of content but also the comments. It’s a testament to the moderators that this site has maintained this level of quality for so long.

I am thankful and happy to use thanksgiving as an excuse to express that notion.
Happy United States Holiday to you too good fellow. I hope to live to see greetings for obscure Ghana holiday on the front page as well.

Yeah I got karma to burn, but this is the hill i want to die on. Too many a good place went to ruin due to eternal septemberites coming from one place geographically and inadvertedly creating a monoculture. I get that ycombinator is US based, but hacker culture is so much more than just US.
> In this respect, advocates of fusion technology say it has many parallels with the space industry. That, too, was once confined to government agencies but is now benefiting from the drive and imagination of nimble (albeit often state-assisted) private enterprise. This is “the SpaceX moment for fusion”, says Mowry ...

I don't think that's a good comparison. SpaceX didn't develop ground-breaking firsts like Sputnik and the moon landings; they took something we've done for 50 years and do it more efficiently. Government agencies are the ones with helicopters flying on Mars, who visited Pluto, developed and operate the space telescopes, etc. Fusion energy generation is like the Manhatten Project.
So working at a radio station is less about having a high fidelity set of headphones than it is having reference headphones that are reproducing the sound accurately and are comfy. When I was there, I had a pair of bog-standard ATH-M50s, which are a relatively cheap and very common closed-back headphone. The station headphones were Koss something-or-others that went for like $30 each and were adequate but not particularly good at anything.

For headphones you might like to use every day, it's a much different question. What do you have now? What do you like/dislike about them? What do you listen to? And so on. Many questions to consider!

> BS 4573. British, but de facto international, socket for shavers only, rated at 115-230 Volt - 0.2 Amp. Shaver sockets accept the following not earthed plugs: British BS 4573, Europlugs (CEE 7/16), straight blade NEMA 1-15P and Australian type not earthed flat blade plugs.

Amazing. There's a wall socket that accepts any plug, "for shavers only". They know the pain.
I would read philosophy on the subject of sublimation. There are many profound writings and writers that have explored the idea. Nietzsche is one, Emerson another. I expect you will discover an agon that challenges your present value system, and this will become curiously interesting. Lead a hidden life with a private good in mind that runs in parallel to the life that is expected of you. But perhaps you are already well versed in these matters.
Thank you for the heads-up - I'll install and have a play. I'm not a power user, but it's such a useful tool even in basic explore mode.

> The science needs to be funded to answer these questions. When society decides these answers are worth 5x F-35s then we'll have our answers.

Isn't society funding ITER for $22 billion, and much else? The American and UK people are investing in some of the companies, per the OP.
Yes! I am definitely looking for people to start things with too, if that's what you mean.

> Those were intelligently chosen projects; many more were no doubt rejected

It's comparatively easy to say that with hindsight. There was about as much reason in 1940 to predict that making a nuclear bomb was feasible with enough resources as there is today to think the same about fusion power generation. Both started from the standpoint of "theoretically possible, but levels and levels of unknown engineering challenges."
All workers benefits increase with proximity to unions. Doesn't even have to be the same industry, but often it is. See: nurses and teacher unions.
Is there any debate about the founding fathers avowed racism, even under the historical standards of their time? What has changed, in the interim, is the social acceptability of racism, public or private. This shift away from racist beliefs or acts is an unqualified social good.

Of course, you’re free to belief that the founding fathers weren’t racist, but I don’t think that there is much writing by them to that effect.

>for a 2050+ delivery time for the PROTO reactor

when a scientist tells you 2050+ it means they don't know and everything is being made up as they go along. It means 'outside the realm of any realistic estimate, but close enough to feel tempting so you don't immediately remove funding'.
Definitely not well-versed in this. Reading the Wikipedia article now, but if you have specific references you'd recommend, I'll check them out. Thank you!
Pastured ruminants? In the US, cows are fed corn at feedlots to double production. You're comparing to the wrong thing.
I really do not understand why someone's comment about how Native Americans view thanksgiving, and my response to it, got flagged. Is it off topic? Is my concern for consumerism over Black Friday not relevant? I understand it's not a cheerful subject but there are many historical aspects of this holiday that are in fact not cheerful. I found it unsettling to see pure positivity when to me this feels like a day of mourning. I thought it appropriate to discuss, or is there some rule in violation?
> There is effectively no taxes on wealth

because the wealth is already taxed - how else did you acquire that wealth without paying taxes first?

To tax wealth is to prevent accumulation of wealth, and i think that has bad, unintended consequences. On paper it sounds good, but like all things, this hurts some group of people more than others, and just because that group being hurt isn't "your" group of people, it doesn't mean they deserve it.

Taxing income (of which capital gains is one type) is fine - adjusting the brackets is fine too. But a lot of times, people come into the more-taxation side assuming that more taxation means better society - but i can tell you it isn't true. Better politicians comes first.
Ah yes, the people who keep promoting ivermectin despite a mountain of evidence that it doesn't do what they wish it would. The idea that something is effective in one place but not in another, because although similar it's different in several important ways, seems to just be too much for them. It's unfortunate, really. It's also amazing to me that these people don't seem to have thought of the most obvious proof that it doesn't work: a publicly traded American big pharma company is saying very clearly "do not buy our product for treating COVID-19".

One of the most distressing things to me about the last 2 years is the bright line that has been drawn under the innumeracy of the general population of the world.

What the article failed to mention, likely because of political correctness ...

The two medical teams are being sent to cities with large Muslim communities - Dearborn has the largest Muslim community in the US, and also Grand Rapids.

So it would be interesting to find out if US Muslims are refusing the corona vaccines on a large scale. Some Muslim leaders have said it's permissible, but there is some concern whether the original cell lines are halal or not.

I’m probably dumb, but isn’t a possible solution to this to leave a single atomic write for the very last operation after a chain of work that was done, one that flags “there is good data here”?
I fail to see the "graphic sex" in the aforementioned works, or others listed like "The Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine." I'll take your word that there are books on the list with "graphic sex," but it's insulting to assume children cannot comprehend such topics.

Not long ago, I was 13. At that age, I read books like Slaughterhouse Five, Cat's Cradle, and A Clockwork Orange. The very fact I now have to type that I knew that sex was a natural part of life perhaps speaks to the deterioration of our educational standards. Regardless, even I understood then that the sexual perversion of those works weren't their raison d'étre. I'm grateful I had an English teacher who guided me in that respect. Likewise, I earnestly hope others have similar instructors, who don't define a work by its depictions of acts of reality, however sordid they may be.

Thanks a lot! I appreciate the insight
So I just tried to set up MonoGame as a result of this thread, but with a twist: only use non-Microsoft servers as sources, to see if it really is 'open source'.

It's impossible.

I just spent 30 minutes trying to find a single non-Microsoft mirror for the .NET Core dependency. If MonoGame is your Spice Melange then Microsoft's servers are the planet Arrakis, the only source in the known universe.

On Ubuntu you need to add a Microsoft server as a repo, you can't just "apt-get install dotnet-sdk-6.0".

So, yeah, MonoGame is not for me. I'll stick with Godot or SDL2.
Why would they do that in this scenario? There is a world of difference between trusting someone to clear your schedule and tell you that you are taking a day off, and silently expecting them to do that on a specific day.
First thanksgiving in the US. My wife and I have stocked up on some of the worst looking pre-made things from Safeway to easily make tomorrow so neither of us have to cook. Excited to have a long weekend :) Enjoy yours too!

It's in the thread. It ends with the Easter egg made malicious.
If @usnectus1 asked this here is because they wanted to initiate a conversation about thanks giving in this very light-hearted post (which, gasp, happened). It's not like they are spamming or cluttering a technical post with an "easily googleable question".

I hesitated to leave my comment here because I'm part Native and aware that it's complicated. The kind of comment you left is not the best way to broach such subjects.

I would like to see more articles about Natives generally without focusing overly much on the victim narrative. I think I'm alive in part because of my Native heritage, for which I am also deeply grateful.

After a sibling commenter very patiently pointed out that I was holding it wrong - I would encourage taking another look at this project if only to try out the Painting mode.

Well, go back a few decades and all businesses were pretty much debt financed. VC wasn't around - maybe a few friends and family rounds, but bank debt was the only option for growing a business (at least until you got to the public markets).

This seems to have been lost over the past 20+ years. I wouldn't even think about going to a bank with a smallish business for financing, you'd instantly think of equity funding instead. Hopefully this changes because debt really is more sensible for many startups.
At the very least you are screwing the owners of the mortgage who will have to write off lots of loans as Bobs everywhere walk away from the underwater mortgages (which is oftentimes the right thing to do even if one didn’t intend to use the house as an investment).

But also it significantly limits Bob’s options in life. They can no longer refinance to repair the roof, they can’t move to a different city for a better job, etc.
I'm MUCH more comfortable with street photography than CCTV.

I don't care if my image is taken in public, I have no expectation of privacy in the moment.

But I do care about subsequent analysis of, and storage of linked metadata about those images.

A random street photographer or member of the public is unlikely to be connected to a permanent, secret, and searchable database of facial recognition, gait analysis, or whatever else linked to bluetooth/phone signals to identify people in the images.

I cannot say that about the many, many CCTV cameras that seem to be everywhere.

Some people may think that's paranoid, but that's exactly what they would have said about mass surveillance pre-Snowden, and when you look at how much data they were storing and analyzing back then, think about what they're probably doing now...

Such scary things are possible now that couldn't have been imagined even 20 years ago.

> The only money banks could lend would be those that the bank really owns.

while this is sound in theory, the past has shown that if you do it this way, there would be possible run on banks, as well as credit crunches that hurt more than help.

If money is tight, because lots of lenders fear lending out (who would lend money out that they can't guarentee a return of?), then people who really need to borrow would pay dearly for it (and may be not be able to afford to pay). This would hurt, and probably hurt a lot more than the current "inflationary" printing. You just don't see it because the current system is actually good enough, and all you can see are the minor flaws.
Today celebrates thanksgiving and the apocalypse for Native Americans. On one hand, sad, on the other hand, proof that people can live, perhaps even thrive, beyond the apocalypse. It may become more relevant to us after the end of climate change or other world events.
Landlords and scalpers seem very much not equivalent. I would compare scalpers to property flippers. Someone who sees an asset for sale for less than its market value and purchases it with the intent to sell it very soon after.

Landlords provide flexibility to the market. They take on the risks of owning. In a fully healthy system, it would still be very good to have landlords and rental properties, people would just pick them because they are the best option, rather than the only option.
Getting your groceries delivered is quite normal here in NL. We like to order larger quantities of things in cans or dry stuff like legumes delivered, then still go to the neighborhood supermarket for fresh produce, either on foot or by bike.
I never owned a car and always saw it as a tremendous waste of money. But it can be handy sometimes and in such occasions i use car sharing services which have a similar level it convenience: i can reach 2 cars on foot and two more by bike within 5-7 minutes and while i need to reserve upfront, 99% of the time i decide i need one there will be one available. Worst case is i have to ride my bike a little further.
I'm with you, as probably are most people outside of the US.

To my knowledge it is the only celebration of the beginning of a genocide today.
There is a fundamental difference between the two—a difference that meant we knew we could probably build a fission bomb, and, later, fission reactors, but that controlled fusion is and will always be impractical. Nuclear fusion happens spontaneously in nature. The problem is keeping it from happening, and controlling the process. During the Manhattan project there were tragic events were fisson happened accidentally. Fusion is different because you must actively maintain conditions that nature is trying to disrupt.

I generally agree with you but let me enumerate the FOSS projects that I use and that have good documentation.

Not explicitly company backed: Ruby, Python.

Backed by multiple companies: PostgreSQL, JavaScript.

Backed by one company: Ruby on Rails, Elixir and Phoenix, Nginx.

Don't know: Django, Apache Httpd.

Of course I might be wrong about the categories.

> the cows aren't emitting anything that wasn't already in the grass

This is not true; fertilizer and farm machinery to fertilize and harvest the corn that creates 1/2 the mass of feedlot meat burns a lot of oil. And almost all of American beef goes through feedlots.
The most important part of Thanksgiving is spending time with the people you care about, the food is all secondary; it sounds like you're doing things right.

That being said, in the future I recommend seeking out the best pies that you can, my personal favorites are blueberry and apple.

Welcome to America and happy Thanksgiving!
