I am no big fan of crypto either, but I gotta admit it does have some nice uses, being able to transfer money across borders without giving someone random access to my credit card.

Chernobyl was literally the worst case for nuclear power. The design flaws were myriad and the industry has learned a tremendous amount. It's not going to irradiate the whole planet, full stop.

Coal is killing the planet now.
They are currently fighting about Chevron deference, which would functionally be a way for the courts to squash agency independence.

Clarence Thomas has this bit where he says "you guys are doing all these crazy contortions to do stare decisis on these old New Deal decisions that enable the modern administrative state, but the real answer is that they were never constitutional to begin with and should be reversed." This would clearly be a giant disaster, but I think his argument is probably correct.

We don't really do constitutional amendments any more though, so I'm not sure if there are any answers other than court packing to ensure continuous Constitutional Calvinball.
This article is a pretty good summary of what conservatives dislike about the left. Regurgitated prose about the new normal with some climate change and racism sprinkled in. Zero original thought. The complete intellectual bankruptcy of using public transit as a good example of social progressivism. I mean, fair analogy even though you waited in the cold for a bus that smells like piss. Imagine, you may one day get to wait for treatment that arrives too late.
The point is, it's all either WW2 films, period dramas, or rom-keys. Why? Because these are safe subjects that steer clear of the government censors. Why are there no films telling realistic everyday Chinese stories in modern China, like the person got who out of college and can't find a job, or the elderly person with no children who is having a hard time? There are 8 million of these kinds of stories. But no, it's mostly Hanfu and Wire-fu dramas, or slicing and dicing Japanese soldiers, or basically office rom-com drama. It does seem like there's something going on that is limiting the creativity and range of artistic expression in terms of subject matter.
They'll just drown instead.

Ask HN: Predictions for 2022?
I usually compare US hospitals to upscale mexican cartels. A cartel gives you a choice: "pay this arbitrary amount now, or have your arm chopped off". A hospital gives you the same choice, but does that with style: "sign these papers here and here, saying you agree to pay us arbitrary amount, or our surgeon, who's supposed to save your arm, isn't available today."

How many photos does it take?

I think an API for this would be ridiculously cool.
I doubt it even went that far - given the size the story mentions (500,000 characters, but isn't clear if they tried smaller), my thinking is the programmer didn't make any checks whatsoever and just thought "no one will type in crazy-large values here, and even if they do it'll just truncate on display" (if that) without consideration on how it might affect memory.
>He had a ton of stock options that he either had to exercise, or he would loose.

That's completely irrelevant.

Purchasing stock options for pennies on the dollar and selling billions of dollars worth of stock when you know the company is recalling 500k vehicles in the next few days are two totally different things.

And oh... he's also done selling now.

If this is not prosecuted by the SEC I would be very surprised.
> I predict that certain activities [...] will one day require proof of vaccination and/or masking up to participate

I think those policies will slowly go-away in the North East & West Coast as the public and media comes to term with how ineffective they are. 96% of the population of my county (including those not eligible) has had it least 1 covid vaccine dose. At some point you just stop benefiting from continued restrictions.

> Omicron won't be the last variant, and there is no guarantee that a future variant won't come along that is just as virulent but far more deadly.

And the next terrorist attack could be even more deadly - stay subscribed for our upcoming report on why you should be more afraid.

Not all portions of VS are maintained to the same degree - their BI tools were horrible for years, and there was not much in the way of alternatives. I'd often spend more time fixing/triaging the IDE issues than I would my own code/projects. And when you then start to add multiple versions of VS into the mix (this was required for the BI projects + newest SQL Server database projects) it gets even worse.
The issue with the American discourse is that it is not just about vaccinating kids. The discussions that dominate the media present the two extreme alternatives: "vaccinate yourself and the kids, wear a mask when requested, etc. etc., and basically be a sheeple" vs "Fuck it, COVID doesn't exist, or, if it does, natural immunity is best, and my liberty is more important, ra-ra-ra." (before the pedants pounce: exaggerated for effect, obviously)

If the discussion was "we broadly agree on everything, it's just a question of vaccinating the kids", then sure, I can imagine the dialogue being more civil.
Do you think this will get better in the future or worse?
The waiting tends to only be about 5 minutes in my experience (10 on the really uncommonly used lines, and only if you just managed to miss one). I've been in worse traffic jams.

That and the scheduling is so unbelievably strict that if I leave at the same time every day, I can make the transfers in my sleep.
The same way we guard the nukes: floppy disks.

I'm surprised fatigue is not mentioned more in the discussion of this incident. The takeoff was at around 3AM local time, and Emirates is well known for pushing their pilots hard (many pilots take a job there specifically to build hours quickly, despite the unpleasant working conditions, with the intention of moving to greener pastures once they've done that).
States that have accepted Medicaid expansion make you eligible if you make up to 138% of the poverty level.

Not all of them have, of course. Without going through every single state, Texas allows you to make up to $25,503 for a household of one and still be eligible for Medicaid.

Those who make more are eligible for free or subsidized Obamacare plans.

What do you mean by "cripplingly poor", and what state was this?

When the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake hit Japan, an oil tank ruptured and caught fire in the city of Kesennuma. The whole city burned down. As per Wikipedia: "As of 22 April 2011, the city had confirmed 837 deaths with 1,196 missing."

Which is lower than most death estimates for Fukushima.

In other words, the world's second worst nuclear disaster killed fewer people than another fossil fuel disaster that happened on the same day, due to the same external reason, which was so minor (for a fossil fuel disaster) that most people outside Japan haven't even heard about it.
How funny. Does anyone have any opinion of this hustle co? Sounds like content I might like, but I read an article and they (founders) repeatedly referred to themselves as ultra-cool, millennial, no-code founders, and seemed to call everyone else a douche. The article was insanely douchey. Worth keeping an eye on them though?
Almost all responses state distribution as the main advantage of the web, and I certainly agree.

I just wanted to add that what we really need is a form of distributed operating system, and the web is the closest implementation of that, albeit a painfully poor one.

So, follow up questions might be: how come we have been unable to agree on some shared abstraction of a user and an app at the OS level?
And are we now stuck forever in a world where software is grown organically rather than engineered? (as per Dijkstra's famous analogy)

Over the last 20 years the gold price is going up at an average rate of ~9% per annum (nominal). If your bond yields are doing that well then you have an excellent ability to find bonds. An approximately 6% real yield is perfectly comparable to what someone might plan on out of the stock market on the theory that stock returns over the long run should roughly match GDP growth. Stocks are a bit overvalued at the moment what with very low interest rates.

I was born before explosion in Czarnobyl, roughly 600km away from Czarnobyl (that's the original name).

It was 28th April 1986, early morning in Poland. The radiation monitoring station in Mikołajki, Mazury area (north-eastern region of Poland - which is much further north) showed that the radioactivity in the air was 550,000 times higher than the day before. The radioactive cloud from Chernobyl had travelled to Poland.

We all had to take iodine pills for long time. I guess if you never lived close to nuclear accident place you just can't understand it.

And if 550,000 times standard radiation doesn't speak to you then go and take deep breath in Chernobyl, and stay there for a bit. Wish you good luck and quick death cause cancer from damaged cells will come 100%.

I am looking for more work at the moment, so I might not have unlimited free time in the future but:

I know embedded hardware and software, Python, and some web dev.

My FOSS projects worth mentioning are KaithemAutomation, an IoT automation system focusing on more low level control for commercial installs, and HardlineP2P, a protocol for P2P remote acess(think DuckDNS replacement).

I'm also working on an open source math reference guide for people who have no math knowledge. I have no particular math talent, so I'm documenting how I'm able to work effectively without really being able to manipulate these things mentally.
It does vary by state. In this state, you're allowed to own a car or even a home and still qualify for Medicaid.
Let's not confuse the importance of an issue with the depth of internet comments about it.

Oh, they only a few days ago turned off a load more, reducing their nuclear capacity by half...just before winter.

https://techxplore.com/news/2021-12-germany-nuclear-reactors...

Which will increase the pressure upon Gas demand at a time that is probably one of the worst for a long time, let alone the usual winter pressure.

Shame nuclear didn't get that green EU label years ago when, as France could of green lit it's updated nuclear plant program instead of stagnating in limbo at a time in which many of their existing plants are entering end of life and with current timescales, would at best see a few pushed past that or some serious shortfalls in energy production.

As for Germany building new plants, with the public opinion, I would suspect that Germany's nuclear production is something they are happy to offshore to France and buy in that green energy cheaply without any of the political fallout/protests on it's doorstep.

I know what you mean, and I think the parent comment suggests that getting to the moon will empower enterprise and government to seriously consider further investment in those types of reactors. It is just one step to make it possible.

With the progress we are seeing in launching modules and supplies to space I think the calculus on what is cheapest might change (though I am all for investing heavily into renewables and improved storage as soon as possible)

Coming back to Reddit after an eight year break from the Internet, I do not use the front page at all, whereas I would always browse it every morning before.

BUT, there has been an explosion of subreddits, some of which are unbelievably high quality with thousands of users even in the most niche interests. This leads to large amounts of content of value being created.

I'm very, very happy with where Reddit has gone. Also, porn.
I concur with this sentiment as well. The only thing that causes equivocation for me is the possibility of overloaded hospitals. However, at this point, I don't think an attempt to strong arm people is going to improve the adoption of the vaccine by those who have not already received it.

I also, having taken the full course of an mRNA vaccine and booster, am not willing to participate in the "vaccination card ID to enter businesses" that is recently popular in some places.
one thing I find to be a nice touch is how the virtual 3D camera view tries to mimic the real-world camera view angle and position
These aren’t examples of ‘innovation’ coming from small startups at all. All you’ve really shown is that startups can be successful sometimes, and simply ignored the fact that large companies keep going and in fact do keep innovating.

Take Google for example. AOL wasn’t murdered by Google at all. It was murdered by the internet. Yahoo, wasn’t murdered by Google either. It simply made bad investments.

Google on the other hand, came up with one excellent innovation as a startup. But everything else they have done, they did as a giant company.

Google proves that almost all innovation comes from large companies.

In Texas a household of one is ineligible for Medicaid at any income unless you're blind or otherwise disabled.
Interesting that this article itself is bullshit, according to the definition that bullshitters don’t even care what the truth is.

The author of the piece most definitely believes in crafting stories. What he did not sufficiently care about was facts.

Apparently he was just intuitively certain that spunky little Lizzy Holmes was no psychopath or crook. That was good enough for him and he wanted it to be good enough for us, too.
Probably, but also that will always be true “one afternoon of X will make things better” but if it’s working for somebody I’m not going to tell somebody their workflow is wrong.
No I am not only talking about GA aircraft. What do you think is going to happen if you turn off the autothrottle, manually set the throttles to idle and set the AFDS to vertical speed mode with a positive climb rate?

Here[1] is an NTSB report detailing how the AFDS and the A/T work together in a Boeing 777. They enumerate several different combinations in which the autothrottle does not provide stall protection.

It also calls out as contributing factor the crew’s mistaken belief that the airplane is pretty much impossible to stall.

If you include the deaths that nuclear waste will cause during the tens of thousands of years it remains radioactive it wouldn't be so positive.

But of course we can't look into the future. But we do know safe storage for such durations is not yet figured out. It's externalising the problem to the future. Just like CO2, but on a much longer timeframe. Still not very ethical though IMO.

I got into a slightly heated argument with my mother when she claimed that "China had manufactured the virus in a lab" - I didn't even consider the possibility of virus manufacture for study and a possible leak happening, I just assumed she was being fed propaganda that this was the beginning of some kind of bio-war being started by China. So that is my failing, and after reading more about the lab-leak hypothesis I learned to hold my tongue and be curious about such left-field claims instead of judgemental

Q&A with the Woman Who Installed These 2-Foot-Tall Address Numbers on Her House
CE's primary focuses beyond security are ease-of-use and low-friction, which is what made JSON ubiquitous:

- Simple to understand and use, even by non-technical people (the text format, I mean).

- Low friction: no extra compilation / code generation steps or special tools or descriptor files needed.

- Ad-hoc: no requirement to fully define your data types up front. Schema or schemaless is your choice (people often avoid schemas until they become absolutely necessary).

Other formats support features like partial reads, zero-copy structs, random access, finite-time decoding/encoding, etc. And those are awesome, but I'd consider them specialized applications with trade-offs that only an experienced person can evaluate (and absolutely SHOULD evaluate).

CE is more of a general purpose tool that can be added to a project to solve the majority of data storage or transmission issues quickly and efficiently with low friction, and then possibly swapped out for a more specialized tool later if the need arises. "First, reach for CE. Then, reach for XYZ once you actually need it."

This is a partially-solved problem, but the existing solutions are security holes due to under-specification (causing codec behavior variance), missing types (requiring custom secondary - and usually buggy - codecs), and lack of versioning (so the formats can't be updated). And security is fast becoming the dominant issue nowadays.
It's exactly what you want, because it simulates reality. Unexpected failures are by definition unexpected.

There's really no escape from radiation unless you shelter yourself with enough of lead and rocks. Maybe go live underground cause your standard carbon filter wont work on atomic fallout.
