That's true, but there wasn't any super major inflation spike. Everything just became cheaper in dollars.

Are these actually feasible with a large low-pressure steam engine of the sort that the Greeks could have actually constructed? Remember that the early real steam engines were only just powerful enough to slowly lift buckets of water.

[Edit] - good answers below - thanks! But I think the question of economic viability still stands. As pointed out elsewhere, a waterwheel is easy to construct and doesn't have ongoing fuel costs. A steam engine requires a reasonably well developed iron/steel working industry (including skilled artisans), which in turn requires a fair amount of iron ore and fuel to support smelting. The finished steam engine would require a lot of wood as fuel, or coal, which wasn't widely available in ancient Greece, or easily transportable without a lot of effort. Ancient Greek metallurgy was definitely not sophisticated enough to build a steam train and as for for building a railway 1) they could barely build graded roads and 2) they would have needed a phenomenal amount of mass-produced steel for the tracks.

Its not that a bigger size wouldn't be better, its more that you have lots of scientists who would like to do lots of research in lots of different directions.

Combine a wealth of data sources in many different directions and many different observations can also lead to new insides.

When majority of the community, a whole generation of scientists, all have to wait for one massive telescope that can then only do 1/1000 of what people like to do with it, are you really gaining more insight?

I’m going to avoid the political side of abortion. But does that also mean that fathers should be forced to pay child support from conception? Should they be counted in the census? But do you really think these same politicians care about life that are “pro life”.

Those are a pain. I get around them by using optical or USB when possible. But, not always feasible.
The US already identified a plausible site but for mostly political reasons, it was rejected and now most waste is stored in several pre-existing locations in the country and the rest is stored onsite at existing reactors. Both of those options are fairly risky compared to the planned repository but are more politically expedient.

It seems not unreasonable to expect many countries will follow Sweden and Finland and actually proceed with burial, and eventually some catastrophe in the US (pig farm manure pit wall breaks, sweeps plant's storage tanks into a major river) will make Yucca a possibility again. Or, we coiuld just give Nevada $50B and ask them to take on the risk for the next 100kyears.

Ah yes, the obvious privacy implications of reading topics in elementary computer science.

You are right that virtually all public websites should be HTTPS only. Serving static, non-sensitive data is the use case that "virtually" is there for.
Thanks for saying this. This was exactly my take. Saying goodbye to VPNs just completely ignores the risk of RCE vulnerabilities on your services. You can have a VPN that still brings you into a zero trust network.
Here in Czechia we have BankID and it is problematic:

1) No verification that the user trusts that particular bank to perform this service. Most banks just deployed BankID for all their customers.

2) No verification between bank and government ensuring that particular person can be represented by particular bank. In principle a bank could inpersonate a person even if that person have no legal relation with that bank.

3) Bank authentication is generally bad. Either login+SMS, or proprietary smartphone applications. No FIDO U2F or any token based systems.

Fortunately, there are also alternatives for identification to government services:

1) Government ID card with smartcard chip. But not everyone has a new version of ID card (old version does not have chip). It also requires separate hardware (smartcard reader) and some software middleware.

2) MojeID service (mojeid.cz) that uses FIDO U2F token.

Disclaimer: working for CZ.NIC org that also offers MojeID service.
"But why should I have to pay the entrance fee and why should I have to work?" You don't have to, nobody is forcing you to work. If you want to dumpster dive and live on the streets you never have to work. Plenty of people live like this. You choose to work because it's the easiest way for you to support the lifestyle you want to live. What you're really asking is "why won't society give me nice things while I do nothing" and the reason is because you're not that special. If everyone thought like this then we would all end up worse off.

This isn't really true, regardless of whether you like masks or not. There have been one or two level changes with respect to how much risk you're introducing to those around you as well as the personal accountability of those you'd affect. It's not surprising that different people have different tolerances for these risks.

Even without the above factored in, this is sort of like saying that not using your turn signals in traffic on the 100th turn nullifies their utility for the previous 99 (not a perfect analogy).

There's a documentary that explores this idea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Into_Eternity_(film)

They deal with exactly the problems you're imagining. How do you convey danger to a civilization 100,000 years in the future? How do you get them to take your warnings seriously? (We'd ignore any warning in the Egyptian pyramids created only ~5,000 years ago) How do you handle earthquakes and other natural disasters?

I found it interesting and you might too.

Earthquake-prone japan is in a perfect position for deep disposal. Japan is atop a subduction fault. Drill a deep enough hole into that subducting plate and any waste will eventually be pulled into the mantel. If we are really serious about getting rid of things permanently, ie not having access to them for thousands of years, then miles-deep wells backfilled with concrete are very practical. Any future civilization who is building something that many miles underground, miles under the sea floor, probably has the tech to deal with whatever we have put down there far better than we.

Most disposal ideas these days are premised on the idea that one day, maybe, we might want to get access to the material again. They should really call it storage.

This was a very unfortunate choice of words by the author, as they don't mean credentials as in the credential a user uses to initially authenticate to the system. Rather they mean authentication tokens, be they Kerberos tickets, bearer tokens, etc.

This memo in particular emphasizes the existing guidance the US government has issued around not expiring passwords. If you are a federal agency, you can have (and are in fact encouraged to have!) users with passwords that are unchanged for years.

Edit: it's worth pointing out that the memo does a great job of laying this out. I work in security, so possibly there's some curse of knowledge at play, but I found the blog post explainer to be less clear than the memo it is explaining...

Yeah, I am talking about Crown Corporations like MTS, Petro-Canada, BC Ferries, and such that were taken private, not the telecoms protectionism that is currently screwing over consumers in Canada, they are quite different.

I don't object to open markets, but I also think there is a space for crown corporations with a mandate to operate competitively (which strong oversight) for the benefit of Canadians (or citizens of $your_nation)

Yeah, people in the past overestimate how eager people are to take obvious risks.

To be fair, the eagerness of people to do activities that feel risky but actually aren't makes that prediction harder than it looks at first.

>Heck, climbing is a fast growing sport. Again, three dimensional.

> Anybody with sufficient interest can find the time to get to a basic competence level in leetcode and system design.

OK. But, it has nothing to do with interest. It's time (which may already occupied with working long hours or a second job to pay off debt or looking after family). Who has extra time to perform leetcode tasks that have no alignment to day-to-day tasks and expectations. People with the luxury of free-time, thus attracting a certain type of profile.

> Getting real life experience or a college degree has got to be the bigger gate.

You don't just get a job doing leetcode. The experience and/or degree are table-stakes. The OP post is asking folks who likely already have experience or a degree related to the field of software engineering.
Climbing is two-dimensional, not three - on any given part of a wall or tree, you can move left-right and up-down but not in-out.

Who hurt you?

Listen, if you're hell bent on willfully increasing your risk of death/hospitalization, that's on you. The simple fact is being vaccinated drastically reduces the risk of that.

Does the current vaccine work as well against Omicron as it did against prior variants? No. But does it work better than literally doing nothing? Yes.

And yes, you were unlucky. The vaccines are still 70+% effective at preventing breakthrough infections based on the data we currently have.

The vaccine is not ineffective. And it reduces the severity of the infection even in the case of a breakthrough.

And as far as OP is concerned, there is a high likelihood that their boosted status did protect them from infection.
In all fairness the Texas grid failures were the result of intentional choices made by the Texas government. Other states with similar weather had nothing like the catastrophic failure TX had.
I guess it wasn't news to me. They did that exact thing to 0.facebook when Facebook was the hot new nerdy thing 10 years ago at my area. I would keep my prepaid in at the lowest denomination of currency possible (think 0.01) to be able to browse 0.fb since it charged for my browsing even though it was supposed to be free.

Overall I find it actually suprisingly usable, which is a habit that I more or less carried until the "modern" times where I browse Facebook on my Android Firefox instead using the bloated app and Messenger.
I feel that improved control systems could go a long way to making them more controllable. Look at RC aircraft, they used to take a lot of practice to fly and even when mastered required so much focus that they weren't useful for anything. But now drones practically fly themselves and instead of "flying" the drone, the pilot really just tells it where to go. The flight software figures out the rest.

There's no reason the same principles can't be applied to jet packs. Add a gyro or two, gps etc to give it the data it needs and the pilot should have a much easier time.

The more difficult to solve problem is with endurance. They are only good for 10s of seconds of powered flight.
I've always found this to be much ado about nothing.
They can't stop us all...
Well sure, but vaccination helps too, we can and should do both and not throw up our hands and do nothing because we aren't doing the optimal thing
I’m sorry but this is utter nonsense. Clinton conceded right away and notably did not urge her supporters to storm the Capitol to “rectify” the results.

And regarding governors, recall that most of the swing states were under republican control.

Edit: I noticed now you gave the Russian connection as the example.

Russian interference was indeed the case.

Many people were angry at that but there’s an important difference between being angry at it and saying the Russians “stole” the election as in “had undue influence”, versus just pretending the result was rigged and you actually won an election you lost. That was something Trump did and it undermines the democracy you build your country on.

On the question of collusion the Muller report is quite informing but he explicitly didn’t want to say anything on the matter and left that to Congress.

The real problem is the potential energy one has at even a low altitude is enough to kill you, even without a jet powered velocity towards the ground.

A fall from just 100ft (~ 30m) is like being hit by a train traveling at 54mph (87kph). Any malfunction at this height would in a couple of seconds likely result in death.

> Who is to judge if Biden is actually trying to solve the problem?

I am. It's the difference between advocating or taking specific actions to address a problem and reflexively arguing against and resisting every action proposed.

> He said something that was false, that's misinformation.

Misinformation does not simply mean "false statement." I'm no dictionary writer, but it has strong connotations along the lines of "misleading to bad ends."

> How do you know he didn't know it was false when he said it?

Honestly, I don't give your report much credence, so I wouldn't go so far as the say he even said what you claim. Given the presentation, I judge there's quite a high chance he either said no such thing, or your report is distorted (like through a game of telephone). And even if you did quote him correctly, your line of questioning gives the impression of either being sophomoric or deliberately obtuse. The most reasonable course of action is to leave it up to you to figure out how to evaluate (without telepathy) when something is honest misstatement vs a deliberate lie.
Yeah, while the clear and correct focus overall is on moving away from passwords entirely (FINALLY!!!!!) it's still nice to see something immediately actionable on at least improving policies in the mean time since those should be very low hanging fruit. Although one thing one thing I don't see is a mention of is doing away with (or close enough) password max character limits and requiring that everything get hashed step 1. Along with rotation and silly complex rules, stupid low character limits is the other big irritation with common systems. If passwords must be used they should be getting hashed client-side anyway (and then again server-side) so the server should be getting a constant set of bits no matter what the user is inputting. There isn't really any need at all for character limits at this point. If anything it's the opposite, minimums should be a lot higher. If someone is forced to use at least 20-30 characters say that essentially requires a password manager or diceware. And sheer length helps even bad practices.

But maybe they didn't bother giving much more effort to better passwords because they really don't want those to stick around at all and good for them. Password managers themselves are a bandaid on the fundamentally bad practice of using a symmetric factor for authentication.
Ah, yes, the famously communist France. (Pages Jaunes are operated by Orange, previously state monopoly France Telecom.)

Just as you say, these monopolies are all deregulated and sold off. But they were all developed and operated by monopolies for many decades, successfully.

Your attempt to call non-communist things communist is a bit annoying. You could benefit from using the same terminology as the rest of the world when you discuss politics. It would help your arguments.

Anyway, I was pointing out that the paragraph I responded to was a falsehood:
“Facebook pages are no more important today than the yellow pages were yesterday, or classified ads, or newspapers. Very little of which was publicly operated.”
"When a problem comes up the folks that deal with it are those that are effected, with the resources of the whole house behind them, instead of a property management company or one sole individual."

Anyone have experience with Playwright compared to Selenium? I have a fairly large test suite and Selenium produces constant false positive errors, typically due to various timeouts that seem fundamentally unsolvable when running it from .NET. It's just very finicky.

I don't know if it's Selenium specifically or some problem with the .NET binding, but I figure Microsoft must have better .NET integration so it will at least eliminate that possible source of problems.

Does anyone have a good political explanation for Europe's hostility to nuclear power?

Is it really just post-Fukushima nuclear concern?

There are so many pressing issues at stake - CO2 production, dependency on an increasingly aggressive foreign adversary for fuel - that it seems like there must be some logic, but I can't figure it out.

Even if wind/solar are cheaper than nuclear, it doesn't seem that they can become the only type of of energy supplied in Europe due to variability issues.
Jetpacks only suck due to the lack of a compact power source, one of the things that's commonly handwaved in scifi. If we had a magical power source they'd provide a more dynamic flying experience than gliding.
Just don't hope for that or you might get flagged :D
