The article states that a Gas power plant would only be labeled green if it emits less than 270g/kWh, replaces a previous fossil fuel plant, construction starts before 2030 AND plant plans to switch to low carbon gases (biogas?) by the end of 2035.

I don't understand what else you were expecting.

The 15 min wait is because some known side effects manifest within those 15 minutes. Everything else is either minor, or extremely rare, or both. The US has the VAERS system if you want more on side effect reporting, but your doctor is supposed to do the work.

Either way, the vaccine was tested. That it didn't go through a 10 year trial period is because we didn't have the time. Will you suddenly explode or combust in 11 years? I can't prove you won't. I would happily put money on the negative though, care to wager?
I think your comparison is off. First, I believe seatbelts are relatively straightforward to manufacture, and so no one small company is likely to make a profit from their manufacturing in a monopolistic anti-competitive manner, hence no racket. Compare to breathalyzers, which are more complex and require complex certification which would likely be gamed by the senator and family member.

I think Germans hope that new generation gas plants could be powered by hydrogen in the future[1]. The idea is that once we have cheap energy from wind and solar, it can be stored in hydrogen.

People often say "follow the money, look at the incentives..." Yet those same people keep neglecting the system which produces the mother of all incentives. It's easy to see how heavily money-oriented the average person is nowadays. IMO, the way the economy works is that we're just like ants following a trail of breadcrumbs and the reserve banks decide which direction to toss all the new breadcrumbs...
Actually, we are living through the peak of social penalization of non-conformity.

In days of old, there was an implicit high tolerance for low intelligence and reduced social ability, since communities ware small, lives were short and violent and strong family support was essential for survival. Nobody cared if Larry can befriend a stranger passing through the village, as long as he could work the fields and provide. Only comparatively rare conditions such as schizophrenia or severe autism would lead to ostracization - the proverbial village idiot.

The Larrys of today are many and can be marginalized for minor issues. A low achievement student can be removed from their class and left back, leading to a vicious cycle of depression and economic exclusion. A functional autist has major problems in the modern workplace and the dating scene, leading to hikikomori individuals.

So while the treatment options improved, the bar for what constitutes a well integrated, functioning adult raised even more, without diminishing the stigma for illness.

I hate sports, and don’t really follow them. I do research standings and stuff before going out because I want to know if someone brings it up, if they’re an “underdog” kinda person or just loyal to a team. Most sports people will quickly discover that I only have surface-level knowledge though, but I ask questions and people seem super happy to tell me how things work. In fact, most of what I know about pro-sports comes from what people tell me at parties.
If that is "The American Narrative" how did Chicago or New York City ever happen? How is it that a majority of Americans live in metropolitan areas rather than further out where they can more "elbow room" ?

The European conquest of north America and subsequent repopulation with immigrants (alongside a vastly diminished indigenous population) created an ethos and an opportunity for people who wanted to live away from everybody else to do so ... by pretending that the continent had been empty, and because of the need for natural resources, this was relatively easy to do.

But alongside that process, Americans were building some of the largest cities in the world, developing and improving "urban technologies", and generally pushing the boundaries of what cities could be (a role now largely taken over by SE Asia).

Any explanation for the structure, placement, demographics and dynamics of American society that focuses on single reason for things (whether it is "elbow room", "Robert Moses" or "racism") is going to be wrong about most things.
Zero knowledge proofs protect against the password leaking due to any kind of error from the server. That's not security theater, passwords leak all the time.

And the nice thing is that browsers already implement that, no need for Javascript. The bad news is that the UX sucks so much that you just can not use, so it's as useful as it not being there.

But digest password authentication protects against nearly none of those errors. On this case, leaking a digest is just as bad as leaking a password.

- Oh well. No loss there.
There needs to be clearer terminology and labels for “green”, “sustainable”, “renewable”, “climate neutral” energy.

I’d also like to throw in “democratic” in the mix. Because energy and foreign policy can’t be separated. The EU energy mix is going to be geopolitically very important in coming years.

We also need to make it very clear what the goals are for each kind and where the tradeoffs are. I think right now the important focus must be to be climate neutral and I dependent of eastern natural gas. And if that means not being sustainable for a couple of decades that seems well worth it.

This seems to be about biogas plants which are allowed to run on natural gas for the first years. Not great, not terrible.

But the EU should stop basing policy on fuzzy goalposts that are easily moved like this.

This inspired me to publish a short blog post: https://docs.mergestat.com/blog/2022/01/01/a-year-in-commits

Counting commits, as mentioned, isn't particularly useful as an independent/absolute number - but I think it's an interesting way to see a high level "amount of contribution" relative to other contributors in a codebase. Of course, "commits" as a unit are not normalized, so this is problematic if you're trying to derive some deeper conclusion from counting commits IMO
> dirty nuclear

That's a bold assertion. Would you care to back it up?

Nuclear does not produce carbon. It's one of the safest forms of energy we have. There's a reason France has one of the lowest emission rates in the world. Killing nuclear in the 80's and 90's is clearly one of the worst mistakes we've ever made. The mistake we're making now is pitting nuclear against renewables. There's a large scientific consensus that we should _complement_ renewables with nuclear. Use renewables where we can but it is a far better option than gas. That's the choice we are currently making.

Let's not make the same mistake twice, there's a lot more on the line this time.

There's a code first approach that's pretty common in VS - but it's at the class level - Just write the code inline and click on it and it generates the class/method stub. So What you are suggesting already exists in standard VS.

Honest question: do you think any of the relationships and contracts in Canada were signed with actual guns to anyone’s head? Because your metaphor is emotionally loaded and screams “libertarian bias”.

Do you see all interactions/negotiations with government as having a gun to your head?

From where I am looking it seems wee bit exaggerated and lacking nuance to equate mandates/economic sanctions and contract law to actual violence.

It is precisely because you don’t have to (nor want to) sign the contract which requires you to be vaccinated is why you don’t have to work there any longer.

You get what you want (remain unvaccinated).
Employer get what they want (no unvaccinated employees).

It seems like a win-win negotiation between consenting parties to me?

Don't do that. Don't conflate having to dumb yourself down for recruiters that reached out to you for a director of engineering role with communication skills.

Yes sometimes you need to be able to simplify things for non-technical shareholders, but no that's not what this should be.

In an engineering focused organization if recruiters are reaching out for a position this high up they should either be solely acting as a data gatherer while a highly technical person reviews, or they should be technical enough themselves.

We're not talking about screening internships here, the person in the article didn't ask Google for an interview, it was on Google to provide competent points of contact.

> In my barely educated opinion the health risks of the radiation level measured in the boar meat is so low as to be ignorable.

This is fairly accurate. Though I wouldn't seek out those boars. I just wouldn't freak out if you found out later.

I would say that the bigger thing we can do is learn to relax and admit that we don't know much about topics we don't know much about. I'm all for more information, but this problem is more abstract and applies to far more things than radiation. Often the more heated a topic the less the average person knows about it though their confidence is often high.
Trial and error to learn something new is one thing. Trial and error of random modifications to fix something without ever understanding what was wrong is another entirely different thing.
That was Socrates' point. He was asking questions to expose how brittle the claims of knowledge and certainty were. I do find it strange that Wittgenstein—a man who considered Kierkegaard (who wrote an entire book on irony and Socrates) as one of his favorite thinkers—seems not to have realized that Socrates' quest for a certain, clear meaning of a team was ironically intended to always finish unresolved. It makes me a bit curious what he took from Kierkegaard, who was every bit as much of an ironist, if Plato's rather blunt representations of Socratic irony alluded him.

Of course the irony is that Wittgenstein asks "why?" again and again like Socrates and for very much the same purpose (to show that it gets us caught in circles), thus representing even more ironic loops than the previous circles. Wittgenstein turns to philosophy to repudiate it and show as much to his students (show the fly out of the bottle), but in so doing he affirms a central Socratic lesson, but with far less irony. And I would say irony wins out: rather than quiet philosophy into therapy, Wittgenstein became the most influential 20th century philosopher who attracts by far the most published academic and popular commentary.
Seeking motivated cofounder(s) interested in legaltech/edtech/govtech.

I am a domain expert in Veterans Disability law, 1.7mil in revenue (me and 3 paralegals) in 2020, formed Veteran Disability boutique firm in 2021.

Looking to build the "Clio for Veterans Disability Claims." Although this is a single, niche area of administrative law, there are more than enough customers on an individual (veterans with claims, accredited agents, accredited attorneys [solos and firms] and an institutional basis (veteran service organizations, law school clinics, non-profits).

The Clio-and-all-others approach of building out generic "law practice" software that you modify for your practice area does not work well for this area of the law IMO. This will not have features that would not serve this area well and thus will not charge per user accordingly.

I routinely have to maintain a legal strategy going back 50-60 years for a single claim. Clients routinely have 2-3 claims active at any given time. Claims routinely include 8-11 different medical conditions, each of which having to meet their own pre-requisites and burdens. Claims routinely branch onto different "paths" within the administrative scheme.

I want to empower veterans and advocates against the kafka-esque system of the VA.
Yeah, they converted the DateTime object into a string of the format YYMMddhhmm which for 2022 starts with 2201010000. Then they convert that into a signed long integer or 2,201,010,000

A long integer is 32 bits. Since it's signed, one of those bits are used for the sign and 31 are used to represent the actual number. With 31 bits, you can express numbers from 0 - 2^31 or 2,147,483,648. 2,201,010,000 is larger than 2,147,483,648.

If they used the format YYYYMMddhhmm, then their numbers for every year would have overflowed the field. Because 201,801,010,000, for example, is too bit to fit in the long. Every year past year 99 would be too big.

But, if it's, say 2008 and you realize that putting the thousand and hundreds will always make it overflow, 801,010,000 would not make it overflow. So why not just cut off thousands and hundreds? Because it's not like we'll run into a 1999/2000 problem before the software is replaced.

Sorry? I did not attack anyone. I am defending a comment by somebody else in which you presume they are personally attacking someone who has openly admitted they work for Microsoft.

I will re-iterate, because I'm patient. I am telling you that you were overzealous in moderating a harmless comment about Microsoft as a company. There is no personal attack in the comment, no matter how you choose to view it.

Feel free to understand the perspective of others before you blindly share more of yours. What a disgusting interpretation of "moderation." Censorship is a much better word to describe where you're headed.
