Yes, if you run it over with an excavator, even a German power line will break :p That is what happened in the link you posted. So it has nothing to do with the energy production capacity in Germany.

Afaik, there weren't any "huge corporations" around when the patent system was first devised, only what today would look like mid-size national companies.

I might note for readers of you book recommendation that despite the title, James A. Mahaffey the author also wrote a pro nuclear book and was a contributor to Power to Save the World[1]. He's definitely in the pro-nuclear camp, and is an expert on nuclear control systems, having introduced digital/computer controls to the industry.

Identity isn't entirely impervious to logic. But if you can create the impression that your identity is under threat - by setting up an either/or scenario - it means, to your amygdala at least, your survival is at stake. Very straightforward way to shortcut rational thinking.

The problem is that journalism stokes the formation of camps by a) conflating ideas and identities, b) bothsidesing everything, and so creating artificial identities to be perceived as neutral, and c) knowingly exploiting that "fear sells" and targeting the identities they manufacture.

Which then becomes ripe pickings for any sociopath out for their own interests.

The only way I'm aware of that can overcome this at scale is forming a larger group identity that's more inclusive. But that only seems to work if there's a large outgroup you can unite against, as far as I can tell.
There will be a blog post on this in the Node.js blog and official media communication. This _just_ landed today and I suspect the HN crowd are more in the "get news early" camp and not "wait for the official press release" camp.
Also each one of these submarines costs 2.8 billion dollars. Given the complexity of the submarines and the cost of other navy assets (1.8 billion for an Arleigh Burke destroyer), I think it would be safe to assume the cost of the reactor is under a billion dollars.
I moved out to a farm in 2003, before YouTube, and grew about 90% of what we ate. We had goats for milk, rabbits, ducks, turkeys for meat, sheep for wool, etc.

We'd still go to the grocery store 1/mo to get toilet paper, etc. We still had commercial power, cars, full time tech jobs, a mortgate, some form of internet....not sure it qualifies as homesteading, but it was my time on a farm.

Yes it's a lot of work, I'd get up at 5:30 to milk the goats, and again at 6pm I'd have to be home to milk. Barns are constant work in the quiet time, and the "garden" uses up all other time in spring through fall. We didn't take a vacation for ~4 years, and then found someone who would help care for the farm and finally got a break.

All the while we worked tech job, me at a 6 person company. The experience was pretty amazing....so I don't regret that. The pay was horrible, even by standards back then. And my opportunities even worse, I was hours from Chicago so could not commute. And there was nothing else nearby, so I was hand cuffed to that job. When 2009 came by and the job ended as the economy tanked we sold the farm and moved to somewhere with a choice of jobs.

Why did we go to the farm? In our 20s we saw it was a chance to buy a house, land, and see how feed really grows. In this case we succeeded.

But the opportunity cost was huge, we could have taken jobs at the to-be FANGs back in the bay area we left. We could have paid that outrageous some of 500k or 600k for a house in Sunnyvale. We could have spent 6 years in our late 20s or 30s earning 3-4x the salary and having it grow, etc.

But hindsight is 20/20. Who would have expected the FANGs to be so successful after the .com bubble burst? Houses in the South Bay to appreciate so much? Well a lot of people by not me. ;)

Was it a mistake? I dunno.
Does it have to be a buy-in, though? You could agree on server-specific extensions to fetch and codify them in the same spec (so it doesn't get lost otherwise). Browser vendors wouldn't need to implement it but they will still keep an eye on it when working on future browser apis.

GraalVM came around a long time after applets failed, so it isn't really relevant to assessing what capability applets had when they failed vs. what WASM has now.
There's more nuance to it though: if you take a closer look at fields where inch are used even in fully metric language environments you'll find that it's often more a class designation than a measurement. A 21 foot container does not exist (turns out that according to the wiki 20 foot containers aren't even allowed to be 20 foot long, they are 40/2 minus some defined amount of padding)

It's even more pronounced with camera sensors, the size given in fractions of an inch is some kind of "equivalent to", whereas the size in mm is the actual size. Apparently the image sensor inch is 16mm or something like that.
You all must've experience a different past than I did. Sure there were exceptions, but software in the 80s (lol), 90s, 00s, and 10s were generally slower, buggier, and uglier than what we have now. We're talking minutes to start some programs, sometimes it just stopped working and you couldn't use it on that computer ever again without reinstalling your OS. Software regularly crashed - like once an hour for Word. Sure, there were some fast programs, but they often did very little or have any modern conveniences. Global, fast search basically didn't exist in most programs. Rendering issues all over the place. "Oops, that file you were working on is now permanently corrupted!" was not some bizarre occurrence, but something you regularly prepared for by making copies of your files as you worked.

I think this is similar to video games - people see a pixelated edge in a game and think it is crap because it rarely happens.

Now if you remove "modern" from the question, and just ask how you explain the sloppiness of software, then all the same answers come back up. Today, where software development feels about 90% gluing stuff together, it's because there is so much stuff out there we can't even be aware of it anymore.

It used to be that a person could be read on nearly everything (100+ years ago), then you could do so within your field and be aware of everything else, then, for most of the 20th century, you couldn't know everything in your field, but you could mostly know it and be aware of everything else. Sometime about 10 years ago we hit an inflection point, where you can no longer even be aware of everything in your specialty. If you are a database "specialist", you can't even know of all the databases that exist, let alone understand them.

So weird, and so impactful to us and our society.

Anyway, old man rant over.

Nuclear power is not a solution to climate change. It would bind too many resources (which are also finite in economical quantities). Last year the first permanent storage worldwide opened, it is not a solved problem. Nuclear processing plants have elevated cancer rates around their location and it is still legal to dumb contaminated water into the ocean. It was only restricted for barrels.

The construction costs are very relevant, not only from a CO2 perspective. Nuclear power is not very attractive, only if you reduce environmental protection to CO2 output, which is insufficient. So no, the greens of former years were not that wrong. It is questionable to shut down working plants, but if nuclear was that feasible, it would already play a larger in energy production today. If you start building plants today, you will need at least a decade to get them operational. You can look at France for the youngest examples of that.

And would you want to mine Uranium? Have fun with that.

There will always be disagreement, but this is a very low-effort feature that brings value to users (it seems based on these small poll numbers)

It could be as simple as a single ASCII character appearing before or after the story title. You could have a checkbox on the Submit Story page that says "Paywall?" to make it appear. People could continue to check the comments for the paywall workarounds as they do today. But they could also skip articles that the submitter thought was a paywall.

So let’s get our thumb off the scales and allow them to build their technology so we can find out it’s true price? It’s equally foolish to assume that the prices won’t fall over time as we optimize.
The one thing that was drummed into my head in grad school was to define your terms. I often ask students "How much is 'most?'" as in "most people think X." Technically 50.1% would be "most" but when I say "most" I generally think closer to 75% or more. So people could think they are disagreeing over whether "most people think x" is true but they are really disagreeing over the definition of "most."

"so the only ones willing to eat the risk are states."

Sure, if you can cook the accounting books to pay for a military nuclear industry, and also get a civil sector that has no need to pay for capital, insurance and cleanup. I doubt it's a scalable model, and France had its own share of fuckups and close calls.
I don't know where you're from, but in France, we did it.

Electricity was, and is still, rather clean, and cheap, and reliable, thanks to nuclear (see https://app.electricitymap.org/zone/FR ).

And the most striking example of that is how terrifying the rise of cost of electricty is coming ahead for consumers and enterprises, mainly because of other energy sources, rather than because of nuclear itself.

Renewables are all nice and thanks (and definitely to grow and improve), but they cannot, from a long way, deliver the sheer and stable massive amount of base energy that nuclear can.

Without monstruously large storage capacities that we don't have today, cutting ourselves from nuclear is a civilisational collapse guarantee.

> But if I look around at the current state of affairs I would say it looks like we have started to walk backwards as a civilisation

If we talking about technology development than each technology has ups and downs but very often there is a gradual improvement, peak and then slow of fast fall.

I don't think nuclear energy passed its peak and degrades. Newer reactors are better than 50 years ago. The only think which can be worse - ever increasing amount of regulations added without cost-benefit analysis. Safety by any price is a dubious goal because the price may be too high to pay.
Ask HN: GitHub Download Hash Change?
Today, an issue was raised in one project I use, because their build system rejected an invalid sha256sum while downloading a dependency from a GitHub zip file.

The offending dependency is usrsctp (https://github.com/sctplab/usrsctp) at commit 9d6b99b:

https://github.com/sctplab/usrsctp/archive/9d6b99b10a70f7a63d21cd80d03c353da9ac19d3.zip

This file's sha256sum has always been

d9b7b3350ea0be2a3d1437e404d4852df741c4984b734729c5edc337ff4b7611

but suddenly today it changed to

e86fe0b8aabef0eae207a94a5525da303e90477c37fce272c84e2d87d7ac169b

This lasted a couple hours, and it is now back to the original hash. Does this mean that the project might have been compromised somehow? Or are there any other less alarming explanations for what has happened?
Yea, his channel is great. Another one is My Self Reliance ( https://www.youtube.com/c/ShawnJamesMySelfReliance ), located in Canadian forest. The amount of labour required to build cabins, food supplies, etc. is nearly endless. No wonder man evolved to living in tribes and eventually cities -- doing it all by yourself is just absurdly hard.

I'm not saying any of this is bad, but if you have romantic notions about living like this and having lots of free time to pursue frivolous things, you're probably going to be disappointed. Perhaps there is a better point somewhere along the spectrum of Manhattan to solo cabin life in the mountains.

The web has gotten boring.

I'm starting a static web host where every page is remixable by default.

One click and you have a copy of any web page hosted on the platform.

Not only that, but the front-end code (HTML, CSS, JS) is treated as the source of truth. Whatever changes the owner makes to a page (through DevTools, some custom JS, or clicking a button that does something) is saved permanently to the DB.

This makes it possible for front-end devs to create interactive applications just by adding a JS plugin to the page.

I'm hoping projects like this idea will lead to a renaissance of blogs, personal websites, and remixable apps that push our normal conception of what a website is to the breaking point.

Let's get real, nuclear is a solution in search of a problem.

It's low carbon, but we've decided not to cut our emissions, so why bother?

It would rescue us from Russian gas reliance. But cost 10 times more and won't be ready till 2040 so why bother? (Plus you can't replace domestic gas supplies with electricity...).

It's reliable for base load, but we already have that from gas so why bother?
Maybe it's needed more "overseas" if they are paying more? Seems like the market is working.
> There is a very vocal, very small minority that's ruining it for everyone else.

You're both right. Unfortunately, that very small minority is culturally dominant, so it is the case that:

1) >> We have reached a point where it has been a mainstream position to view the idea of defending free speech as disagreeable, or even deeply offensive. And;

2) > There is a very vocal, very small minority that's ruining it for everyone else.

In the same way a relatively small but well-organized group like the Taliban can control an entire country despite lacking enthusiastic support from the majority of the population, a small but well-organized subculture can dominate and dictate what is/is not acceptable in mainstream American culture.

I think the next version of IP needs to be anonymous. That is if I connect to multiple endpoints they should not be able to know that I am the same person. It may even be a good idea to allow multiple connections to the same host to be impossible to relate together, but that has some negative connotations for DoS attacks. Right now there are a myriad of problems based around the fact that sharing IP addresses is becoming frowned upon. It is a serious threat to any P2P and even just the ability to follow links without fear (for example asks you to confirm every link you click to prevent IP leak + DoS attack).

How about 3 mile island or Fukushima or countless other times where we got lucky. Nuclear disasters are an inevitability with such a complex technology.

Yes, I'd love it if they got standardized. Having them implemented in a C compiler already helps quite a bit for more "standardized" adoption over some ad-hoc approach.

Even if you fill the entire world in solar panels and wind mills, we won't have reliable 24-hours energy. That means you can't rely of constant supply of it, which means you'll need something as a backup.

Nuclear is one of the most reliable sources. The world has enough uranium for at least a few hundred years, which in practice could be much much longer depending on if we can keep installing more renewable plants. So, why not use nuclear as a backup? There is nothing even close to a better option than that.
