It is about geopolitics.

Germany, like Japan is an occupied country since WWII. The US controls it. The US does not want Germany to have either rocket industry or nuclear industry, because that makes them capable of making nuclear bombs.

Also France and UK are terrified of Germany having a strong rocket or nuclear energy, and with good reason. They invented rockets and could make them much better and economically than they can.

So the US wants to dismantle Germany nuclear industry and make it impossible for them to make nuclear bombs because they don't have either the people or the industry to support it.

They will love to do that with France or UK too, if they could, but those countries will never do that, as they are much more independent that Germany is.

The real reason Germany prime ministers do what the US wants is because the US pressures them all the time with economic sanctions and they must comply or else...
Same pig supplies the heart AND the bacon.
What do you mean "we"? Also it's quite possible that what you have is getting more and more expensive. (Eg. land! Because more people want the desirable plots/lots.) Energy. You use roughly the same amount, but it's getting more expensive, so you end up with less money to spend on leisure. Similarly with education and healthcare. People use the same amount (by default), but it's getting more expensive.

This is sometimes called the cost disease. Of course for services the cause is mostly the Baumol effect, but for land, housing, and energy it's mostly because supply is constrained.

> Solar, wind and batteries are cheaper and money is limited.

How can you even estimate the cost of batteries? Insane amounts of batteries would be needed, capable of storing all of Germany's energy needs (including transportation and residential heating) for 10 days or so. That would be at least 10 TWh, as Germany currently uses about 550 TWh per year.

The global production of lithium ion batteries in 2018 was 290 GWh (1000 GWh = 1 TWh), expected to increase to 2 TWh per year by 2028 (https://www.statista.com/statistics/1247625/global-productio...).

In other words, even if Germany would buy every single battery produced on Earth over the course of 5 years, it probably wouldn't be sufficient to provide energy for 10 winter days without wind.
Well, the area is categorised as volcanically active - I doubt if it is a very serious risk.

In that video link, the student isnt even challenging Friedman, just trying to ask a nuanced question. I actually agree with what he carefully says at the end (as its mostly vague and handwavy "dont do too much government intervention of the wrong kind") and Friedman still comes off as a complete asshole.

And yet people seem to view this as a success for him. Strange.
I don't know what type of masks are worn in the US, in Germany FFP2 / N95 masks are required for all but children.
And these mask do protect you, the protection is obviously better if everyone is wearing one.
When I first stepped afoot in the US (Newark Airport) in 1999 I saw more grossly overweight people in the first half hour than I had in the last half year in Norway. Easily.

I absolutely loved walking up and down the streets of Boston though, it was simply amazing. I'll always be a bit sad I couldn't organise a visa for going there; instead I ended up down under - not a bad plan B!
The costs for keeping waste for hundreds of years are currently not accounted for in the nuclear energy prices. In fact, they are not even properly estimated because we cannot make economic forecasts for centuries. So any decision that involves storing waste for hundreds of years is basically offloading the consequences of dealing with it to future generations. Obviously this is not a responsible way to handle such matters.
I think 501c3s should be barred from taking huge donations like that in situations where it's not 100% clear that such a donor couldn't end up personally benefitting from influencing the charity. For example, I stopped giving money to Wikimedia Foundation when Google showed up with their millions. If there is even just a 0.0001% chance that donations from my hard-earned cash will ultimately just end up lining the pockets of billionaires, then I don't want any part of it.

In Germany there is now a party running on a program trying to forbid political parties from taking donations from any individual above €5000 per year, and barring politicians from staying in office longer than two terms of 5 years each. -- This is roughly the standard I expect from any charity that wants to have any shot at getting money from me.
What does Medium refer to in this context?
I think it depends on the development stage of your product.

If you just get some amazing idea you want to quickly lauch and see the result, then the best way is to adpot 3rd parties as much as possible (as long as those stuff could work together).

Then your product receives the momentum, exciting. But you start to have all kinds of issues because you don't spend much effort on the stuff, the initial version. It's not about your capability. You just don't need a perfect design in the very early stage of the product. You might only need 1 or 2 people in order to get all the SaaS work together, although it's not optimal from system and computer resources perspectives.

Then you start to think about refactor the product, a better design, a decent system which means you have to worry about everything. And the first problem is do you have adequate engineers to do that work.

Some startups died in the refactor...

For realtime features, it's hard to build since you have to worry all the infrastructure, scaling and performance. And the even harder part is to run the realtime features smoothly and stably. So I would recommend to use 3rd parties SaaS until you have enough resources and time.
Of course there's not, but actually this is something that the CCP is pushing a lot for as well; to have one nation, one language, one culture.

Pulse as a Biometric Measure of Wellbeing
What's galling is that they've actively gone out of their way to make it worse, instead of just letting it regress through neglect.

For example, a few weeks ago, I image searched for a meme that I created years ago on 4chan. A dozen or so results were returned, none of them relevant. But if you tack on the name of a 4chan archive, for example "4plebs" (not even "site:4plebs..."), all of the sudden it turns up.

Google in general seems to penalize 4chan and its archives, which is ironic since it's one of the few places where actual humans post OC. Meanwhile Pinterest spam, AI-generated blog posts, and reddit threads full of bots and shills abound in its results.

What else would matter? Ethical dilemmas stem from the sentience of a given being. Killing a cell is not really morally questionable, since it is just a (very) complex machinery. While we are ourselves also an even more complex machinery on a physical level, we have certain emerging properties that are not found in cells, but are found in dogs, pigs, etc.

So one can very well claim that torturing beings that can feel pain is wrong.

Well, it is a well known tool for temporary tunneling of http.

Google knows and the rest of the results confirm it.

Now, if your explanation was the entire explanation it would be kind of ok if they did like Kagi do and Google did themselves at some point, ask nicely:

did you mean <something else>?

or

we included results for <something else>. Please use doublequotes if you want exact matches.

Of course with Google this would be pointless as as far as I can see they ignore doublequotes anyway these days...
I agree, that is why I think the logic is flawed.

Either green just means no CO2 or nothing is green.

Go ask the citizens of Serbia what they think of the new Rio Tinto lithium mine opening in their country, which is touted as helping the European green revolution and all these giga factories that are being built.

Easy to have green energy in the EU when the pollution of building batteries is in Serbia or China.
"Green" doesn't mean completely pollution free. It means that the net product is positive: we get more energy out of it than we would just by burning the fuels used to make them.

Remora (YC W21) is hiring – carbon capture for semi-trucks
Remora (YC W21) builds a device that captures a semi-truck’s carbon emissions directly from the tailpipe. We sell the CO2 to end-users who can store it away for a long time. We split that revenue with our customers, so the device pays for itself in just a couple years.

We’re looking for all kinds of new team members — from growth to policy to recruiting to all manner of engineers (software, electrical, mechanical, chemical).

We’re also building our leadership team, starting with directors of operations, supply chain/manufacturing, mechanical engineering, R&D, and controls/electronics.

Lord Protector. Not entirely clear to me how his power differed from that of a king.
>This is more-or-less how Germany looked like in the 1930s.

And if it stayed at that, it wouldn't be much different that most other countries at the time - perhaps even less lethal (due to not having colonies) and more progressive than some (the early program was New Deal style, and the talk against Jews was toned-down until later in the 30s).

And China itself looked much worse (and worse much more repressive for its citizens) in the 60s up to the 90s, so there's that. Whereas Germany went the other way: more repressive, more bloody, less wellbeing for the people (as resources started going to millitary preparations), and finally war and devastation.

That's trivialising something complex. If coal is the source, perhaps. It's its way out though, and there'll come a point in the easily foreseeable future where to burn fossil fuel – gas, say – will be the least moral option.
Oh, crap. Mind thought 2e9, fingers typed 2⁹. Edited. Thanks.

IIRC the bulk is property. German power plants are located in densely populated areas with high property prices. If a plant renders a smallish area unlivable and BMW has to vacate and replace a factory there, BMW will not want to take a loss on that.

A laptop with a lower screen resolution has entered battery life but that has more to do with the fact you need brighter backlights to get the same brightness from a more dense panel. Pretty common to see 1080p versions of laptops that also have 4K options have significantly more battery life.

> Nuclear has been mostly replaced with renewables, while fossil fuel generation has been in slow decline as well. You may disagree with that policy, but please get your facts right.

Do you have a good source? I believe you are correct that the total share of fossils has decreased, but I also suspect that the OP might well be correct in that in the end a decent chunk of nuclear plant provided capacity will have to be replaced with fossil fuel plants, because Germany does not and will not have enough hydro (or storage) to compensate intermittency for other renewables. I'm also curious how legit the "biomass" share under renewables actually is, i.e. is it really net?
Python has an interface called WSGI (web server gateway interface), with both Apache and Nginx you need either a none standard module for that interface or to reverse proxy to a second server that does.

So same number of moving parts either way.
Hey that sounds like machine learning.
This is why central banks tend to look at measures other than CPI when they make their decisions. For example, "core" inflation does not include energy, which is highly volatile and doesn't directly represent the loss of value of the currency.
I hope so too, but let's start with the highest impact interventions like stopping the gassing of pigs with CO2 which causes immense pain at an extremely large scale.

It's upsetting in an absolute sense that we experiment on pigs like this, but at least that was only 1 pig and the benefits of that would be much more than if it was just used for food.

We are talking about closing existing plants. Also, stopping coal in 2038 is no problem, right?

The most amazing multi-quine I've seen is the quine relay here:
https://github.com/mame/quine-relay

It goes through 128 programming languages to regen its starting point.
Germans are sceptical especially because they view themselves as a nation of thinkers and scientists. They (rightfully) pride themselves on having developed the state of renewables not just for themselves but for everybody - wind, and especially solar. It's just a pity they lost the lead and trashed their solar industry (in my opionion, because of neoliberal ideology they failed to implement protectionist policies and stopped supporting the domestic industry too suddenly).

Germany didn't decide to replace nuclear with fossil. As a fairly wealthy nation, they decided to replace nuclear with renewables and accepting higher energy prices and the need to use less energy. Because they decided the price (it is not a risk, but a certain price) of having nuclear waste is too high. When discussing the nuclear vs renewable vs fossil triangle, we tend to forget that there is a fourth screw to adjust: demand for energy.
Stuxnet happened despite being air gaped. Regardless, I am confident you can place physical safeguards that could not lead to nuclear emissions even in the event of loss of control over the computer systems.
HN has been recently debating what expectations we have of open source developers, in the light of a developer releasing bizarre updates to two particular packages on NPM, 'colors' and 'faker'. I think we all have expectations that go beyond the mere terms of the license. Ubuntu's code of conduct makes some of these expectations explicit, and I thought it would be interesting to discuss.

This is my favourite part of the Ubuntu code of conduct:

> Step down considerately

> When somebody leaves or disengages from the project, we ask that they do so in a way that minimises disruption to the project. They should tell people they are leaving and take the proper steps to ensure that others can pick up where they left off.

This is a typical Western oversimplification of communist regimes. If there is a Party, it is to blame, of course.
But you are wrong. The casualties of such incidents are coming not just from the poor immediate responses, but also from long term environmental, social and economic effects. Even if in Fukushima disaster people did not die from acute radiation syndrome, there are still several thousands of deaths attributed to the disaster. Same with Chernobyl, Mayak etc.
If parent means nutritious as rich in energy than it has plenty of calories indeed (though sugary drinks will easily beat it)

If they mean as in provides many kind of nutrition, it is still false as it is mostly fat and protein. It is quite homogenous to be called nutritious.
Nuclear energy is expensive and unnecessary.

A mix of renewables, coupled with battery and hydrogen-from-seawater energy storage technologies, will be cheaper, less capital-intensive, easier to maintain, and far easier to sell politically. It also has no nuclear proliferation concerns.

There was concern that battery and hydrogen storage technologies would not be sufficient, or would not work practically, but as pilot projects are coming online, it's becoming clear that the engineering challenges involved are fairly straightforward.

Fission power has its uses - the energy density is unrivalled, so will continue to have military and spaceflight applications - but its moment as a major component of the energy mix is coming to a close. Current new reactor builds in some western countries - Hinkley Point C in the UK, for example - are insurance policies that may well never end up on the grid, or may eventually operate as the only reactor in that country's energy mix. The complete lack of urgency with these new builds demonstrates the 'wait-and-see' approach.

SO is to find solution through code. The code is normally the answer.

GitHub is useful for learning and running it yourselves and is not limited to a snippet.

I hate PHP too but you have to admit that its execution model is way simpler and more reliable than any hot reloading system. In my experience hot reload saves you a bunch of time when it's working, and then costs you the same amount of time when it randomly breaks and you spend half an hour getting confused about what the hell is going on before realising that a simple refresh fixes it.

The only really good hot reload system I've seen is Flutter's.
