> Nuclear thus remains the dispatchable low-carbon technology with the lowest expected costs in 2025. Only large hydro reservoirs can provide a similar contribution at comparable costs but remain highly dependent on the natural endowments of individual countries. Compared to fossil fuel-based generation, nuclear plants are expected to be more affordable than coal-fired plants. While gas-based combined-cycle gas turbines (CCGTs) are competitive in some regions, their LCOE very much depend on the prices for natural gas and carbon emissions in individual regions. Electricity produced from nuclear long-term operation (LTO) by lifetime extension is highly competitive and remains not only the least cost option for low-carbon generation - when compared to building new power plants - but for all power generation across the board.

As for the "government subsidized", I don't see that a particular problematic issue, but that may be just me (a quite a few fellow French people) - that's my taxes at work.
Netezza, Greenplum, Red Shift and CoachroachDB are all Postgres forks. Postgre is pretty popular as well, at least for the recruiters who spam me.
Stop signs are anything but "ignored". The actual behavior only applies when the car recognizes a stop sign and also assesses good visibility to ensure that no other cars are around, and the car still slows regardless. It's not just blowing through stop signs at top speed whenever it feels like it.

Reminds me of the "Industrial Society and Its Future" manifesto (not that I agree with it or with the author's method).
I respect the ability of site owners to make their own decisions about how to run their own businesses. I respect the courage it takes for a site owner to accept responsibility for their own decisions. When a site owner chooses to supply content without charging for it and without stipulating that it must be consumed in its entirety without an ad blocker, I respect that. And if some of that content interests me, I will accept the site owner's offer of free content and consume the parts that I want to consume, while ignoring or blocking the parts that I don't.

How I spend my time and attention on the site is my personal decision, not the site owner's decision, not your decision, and not anyone else's decision. I don't care if an unsound and generally unaccepted ethical theory like the one you're advocating for disregards my individual right to spend my time and attention as I please. I don't care if you would rather prioritize someone else's profit over my autonomy. My time and my attention belong to me.

I don't use Gmail, and I would prefer Gmail's user base to be distributed among many smaller companies that compete with each other to provide better products. I don't use Facebook, and I would prefer it to be completely supplanted by fediverse services that don't violate the privacy of users and non-users, and don't create poor working conditions for its contractors.* YouTube is not irreplaceable either, and I would rather see a variety of platforms like PeerTube instances and Vimeo break YouTube's near-monopoly of online video content in the U.S. and many other countries. I fully understand the reality of online advertising, which only amplifies my support for ad blocking.

I feel like the current release of English can handle this fine. "It was very drama-free for Florian: <reddit link>" If you don't know someone's name, it could have been "it was very drama-free for at least one individual: <reddit link>".
There's no small irony that after Chernobyl, all evidence is that animal life has actually thrived in spite of the radiation, and if anything, the most sensitive species to radiation is us. Another commenter has already pointed out that there is vastly more radioactivity in the sea than anything we can add.

A few million gallons of nuclear contaminated water into the ocean is nothing, it'll dilute to next to nothing, Nuclear homeopathy, if you prefer.
What makes you think the stock market is any different? If anything, a private company has greater leeway to share the wealth because they don't have nagging institutional shareholders. How many public companies have robust profit-sharing programs? FAANG-level companies don't count because they're in their own category
As another poster pointed out, the CDC says nothing of the kind, I believe what you are referring to is statements the CDC has made similar to my original point - that _once infected_ vaccinated people spread as easily as unvaccinated, something I am more than willing to believe.

As far as effectiveness against infection, the data is crystal clear:

https://twitter.com/EricTopol/status/1488255436671176704

There is not actually any evidence supporting your position from any of the research or even any of the major health authorities. All agree that vaccination reduces infection and hence transmission. So it's hard to argue that mandatory vaccination doesn't improve the overall trajectory of the pandemic.

Any particular set of algorithms and data structures is going to scale in a certain way.

Some people might really be happy with having 500 images in a directory.

With 130,000 local thumbnails and the right data structures you'd think you could browse quickly, but it is a lot of thumbnails (might not want to store that much.) It would make a big difference if you had SSD or a hard drive or could afford to store a lot in RAM. If it is based on cloud storage you have an entirely different problem but also different solutions available (e.g. when you log into the application a huge amount of data gets spooled into RAM sequentially so temporarily you are using vastly more resources than would normally be available; this is a lot of why gmail and google analytics are so responsive.) There also are tricks that would make scrolling from the beginning to the end seem really fast but not be so good at scrolling into the middle.

In my case I am dealing with 50MB RAW files from my camera which are admittedly excessive (most of the pixels are surplus, I shoot pictures that look great on a screen or on a 8.5x11 print but if I zoom in they rarely look 'tack sharp') The scaling of that is a different story than 0.5MB JPEG files.

I remember iPhoto being absolutely awful circa 2010 with 10,000 local files on a magnetic hard drive. You're telling me it is much better w/ cloud storage in 2022.

Show HN: Staat – mission control for eng managers
We made this because we thought managers could be more strategic and effective for their teams, their stakeholders, and themselves. One central place to get a pulse on project changes, bottlenecks, and updates from across tools. Think of it as a manager IDE.

No not an engineering performance measurement tool, a first point of contact to triage and prioritize the day without having to spend time digging into 4-5 information channels (Slack channels, unexpected meetings, task management boards, pull requests, etc).

This is our experimental quest at rethinking the manager workflow. De-cluttering everyday information to get to answers fast with a clear view on where things are and how things are moving is our starting point.

We'd love your feedback!

We have over 375+ managers on our waitlist and would love to put this in the hands of all managers. We’re offering a Staat First 500 promo code to anyone who wants to try it out for free!
Maybe I misunderstand how unions work but my understanding is that unionized pay is based on experience levels and not gender.
Yeah I've seen many such signs and it seems like the clear best approach. People should drive carefully around crowds of children and normally otherwise, regardless of some schedule posted on a given school's website.

i was told growing up that this was the difference between being honest and being truthful: honesty is about telling allcomers everything you know (or believe, with appropriate caveats) to be true, whereas being truthful is simply not advancing as truth things you know (or believe) to be false.

in any case, i've watched npr and nyt, two of my mostly former news sources, wrench from simply being biased to being outright hysterically partisan and dishonest. covid (over-)coverage being the most blatant, but it's been a long disintegration of truth and trust.

this is just a little part of the overall movement toward captured capital and centralized power, sweeping up news media along the way (note that these are editorial decisions, with editors seeking favor from the powerful). we're in for a rocky ride.

We have a heavily trafficked roundabout in our neighborhood and it's a big hazard to pedestrians because drivers take it way too fast and fail to yield to pedestrians in the crosswalks around it. Aside from that, the roundabout is great but takes up a lot more space than an intersection would. Maybe some bumps to calm the traffic approaching the roundabout would help.

The problem that I see is just insufficient respect for traffic laws. I'm not sure what to do about it, aside from more police presence.

Are there any iOS app-based solutions for dealing with YouTube ads? The app you mentioned (YouTube++) appears to require a jailbroken iPhone. I've read that AdGuard Pro can work with mobile Safari YouTube ads, but I'm curious about an app solution. Seems like there's plenty of stuff out there for Android.

Is there a restriction on when/how often a worker can use the booth? Are they policing what they do in the booth?

Frankly if you can put in headphones or eat a snack in there, then isn't it really just a break? It's good for workers if they're being given more breaks, even if the messaging and form are corny.
Most users never add a shortcut to the home screen and yet use plenty of web apps.

That's the focus because that's what his followers are still hearing. The FDA did its job, despite interference from the top, and everybody actually interested in science has accepted it.

But decades of anti-science rhetoric have eroded that to the point that it's an article of faith -- including many supposedly science-oriented people here on HN -- that any piece of science that they don't like can be dismissed as untrustworthy.
You are in an exceptional area then. The entire city of Philadelphia operates on the idea stop means slightly tap on breaks. I've even seen cops regularly roll them.

You can use an AbortController for that.

I think about this apocalypse scenario more than nuclear war or anything else. In no time at all we've made the systems that underpin our survival dependant on brand new, high technology that can be blown away like a cobweb.

If we learnt anything from covid it's that our governments do not account for systemic risks. The emperor has no clothes, etc.
The main problem with the bat hypothesis is that with SARS and MERS, wild animal populations that very closely matched those coronaviruses were quickly found. For example, with SARS it was very quickly identified that there were SARS infected civets in the animal markets SARS spread from, and then scientists went to the places in the wild were these civets were caught and also found SARS infected civets in the wild. The SARS they found in civets in the wild had a 99.8% sequence similarity with human SARS.

If someone was to find coronavirus infected bats with a similarly high sequence similarity to COVID-19 it would take a lot of wind out of the sails of the lab leak hypothesis. But it's been two years now, and that hasn't happened. This doesn't prove or disprove the wild animal hypothesis, but the longer we go without a high sequence similarity match to animals in the wild the less plausible that hypothesis seems.
I checked the example link, and it has trouble rendering utf-8 or something (search for the Feynman quote about "nature", it starts with "Nature isnât classical...", or the poem at the end)

I wonder how well it works with more complicated mathematical formulas containing greek or arabic letters (although the example in that paper look fine to me), or other non-ASCII scripts.

other than that, this looks pretty amazing
You are taking a prescriptive approach (which is fine), but it is just as reasonable to take the descriptive approach to linguistics and say "in modern American English 'data' is not countable, and it is used the way 'water' is used". It is self-consistent and (currently) grammatically correct to say "this data is important" like you would say "this water is wet". I guess this implies "datum" is archaic now. At least for the linguistic/cultural bubble in which I exist.

At bloop, we’re building an in-IDE code search engine to make it easy for software engineers to find and share code. Today developers spend too much time scouring library documentation and open-source repositories looking for useful code. Our neural search engine automates this menial process, freeing up time for developers to focus on the most enjoyable parts of the job.

Behind the scenes we do lots of:

- Machine learning for code

- Parsing code and manipulating ASTs

- Semantic analysis

>Digital wireless just seems like a very very difficult field.

Indeed It is. And not much appreciation about it anywhere either.

>The only digital wireless communication tech that seems rock-solid is the 3GPP stack (GSM/UMTS/LTE/5G).

And that is why they are expensive. Again no one appreciate the work that was done on 3GPP, nor are they willing to pay much for it. Everyone likes to shit post on 3G / 4G / 5G without actually spending any time to understand the insane difficulty of wireless. No one realise we got 10,000x capacity improvement in the last 20 years on mobile network. All while siding with Apple and suggest they should only pay 30cents on patent to Qualcomm or Ericsson.
Edge exactly did that.

It collects feedback from users. If a site got rejected by literally every user. It will be put into the `don't even bother prompt the users` list.

And start from this point.

No edge user will be prompt actively by that site (There will still be a icon on the url bar. If the user really really want to enable it, he can click it himself).
I believe my kids have a similar situation. They have been really picky with food since COVID. We actually talked to a paediatrician (is that what they are called?) about it. He said it seemed to be very common right now.

Also suggested that we should try to give the kids lots of different tastes, textures, temperatures etc. I guess to “train” the sense again? I don’t know. Seems a bit unscientific. But who knows.

Love my Framework. Barring Apple's recent move away from the touchbar it's honestly the first machine I've been excited about in 6 or so years. The build quality is great, love the simplicity and design of the expansion ports, and the repair/upgrade-ability is huge. It's gotten me back into using Linux as a daily driver.

I really hope they stay true to their vision and that this means expanding it into other consumer product lines.

This used to be completely true. It definitely is not always so in modern American English. But we might be just fighting over prescriptive versus descriptive approach to linguistics.

>- Easily scriptable notifications from your own code (I run notify.run which provides an HTTPS-to-WebPush bridge so you can send yourself a push notification from curl)

The article speculates that it might not be freely available like push notifications are for firefox/chrome.

>Maybe we have to register the origin with the Apple Developer Program, similar to the Safari Push Notification program for macOS. If this is the case, the developer will have to pay the annual Apple Developer Program fee to send push messages to their web users.

In that case you're probably better off installing a notification app from the appstore to handle it, eg. pushover/pushbullet.
