I reviewed those references. Not one if them addresses the argument and claims being made here. In a nutshell: That solar and wind cannot solve climate change and are worse than nuclear across a range of criteria.

You continue to argue against the man. This is meaningless.

Here’s a simple example of what you could be doing instead:

He claims that a solar farm that matches the output of a nuclear power plant requires 17 times more land than a large solar farm in California.

Well, is this true? The math is simple. And yet, no math is necessary.

https://www.energy.gov/sites/prod/files/2019/01/f58/Ultimate...

Quoting:

“A typical 1,000-megawatt nuclear facility in the United States needs a little more than 1 square mile to operate. NEI says wind farms require 360 times more land area to produce the same amount of electricity and solar photovoltaic plants require 75 times more space.”

That’s how you analyze a claim if your objective is to ascertain the validity and soundness of the argument.

Once again, attacking the man (or irrelevant statements) is pointless.

Russia doesn't need 4,000 nukes to accomplish it's goals so I imagine some sort of trade is in the works. It's a possibility at least.

No you're quite right, that's why I said "...maximum energy states (this is assuming there is one)". Of course with no upper bound on energy this isn't possible, that's the definition straight up, just like you say.
That middleboxes constantly stymie innovation through ossification. At least that's what I would think and I was going to post something very similar. At least we can just put overlay networks up and ignore most of the middleboxes out there.

Personally I relied a lot on the Yale appliance blog to help me learn what appliances to get. Long story short though, there's a non-negligible chance your appliance will fail, so plan for it. Make sure you know who to call, and that they're service reviews are good.

I think it’s more the move to understanding business context and more of a product mindset. Outside of “purely technical” libraries, most applications are sponsored and written to solve business problems and to add value. Under this lens then how the software helps produce value is more important than how it does it.

As a counterpoint though, good software practices ensure the application is reliable and easy to modify as the business needs change, so it’s not just about shipping features with no regard for software quality.
What?
It really couldn't be simpler: You open settings -> screensaver, choose blank after N minutes and close the settings window. Works.

I think your reading a little too much into the quotes. As I understand, he's correcting - or at least explicating - a mistaken assumption commonly promoted by parents to their children, school counselors to their students, and politicians to their constituents. He's not singling out top-tier academic institutions, but doing the opposite by demonstrating that they're no different from the Olympics. Many will enter, few will win.

With that said, I disagree that much of the world is a zero-sum game. You couldn't have innovation if that was the case.
There aren't many moments where I truly feel dismay at the end of something's lifecycle, but this definitely is one.

Vanced made mobile YouTube tolerable. I have NewPipe but it's not the same. Hopefully as the tweet says, it will stay functional for a while longer.
Vanced was indeed a cracked version of official YouTube app.
You'd be fine, because any kind of matter that you could stick your head into is incapable of reaching negative temperatures.
> He choses some (very cherry picking) facts and anecdotes from Russian history, cites them with factual mistakes, but he choses and interpretes them so they meet his theory. This is not scientific approach at all.

Examples my friend, we need concrete examples. Otherwise this is like all other pro-Kreml astroturfing accounts which cry about Russia being misrepresented except they can never show any example exactly how they are being misrepresented.

Simply arguing semantics of pravda and istina and then calling the lecture false doesn’t mean anything.

And as it happens I read the Rob Lee article February 21st or 22nd in anticipation of the attack.

Question to you is - how does it provide anything of a conflicting point to the lecture? Zelensky tries to distance Ukraine from Russian political interference, so its OK to raze the country to the ground because…???
I was addressing the actual example given, so yes, ‘at all’. The fact there are other companies that are rent seeking is a separate point. You’re seriously saying Apple specifically, the company called out, sells privacy? Do tell.

Same story here, happy Linux user since the 90s... at home on family computers and at job. It's like choosing Netflix vs HBO Go - takes a few days to find your favorites, once you get it you are all set and don't worry anymore about the competition.
Staff-level tends to happen if you are able to stay motivated to keep finding and fixing problems for a long enough time. You will naturally build expertise in whatever field you're in as you iterate on that, until eventually you just know all the ins-and-outs of the systems in which you're working that you can "see around walls" when more junior people waltz in and try doing stupid sh*t. Your proactive criticism of their ideas and code will be seen as technical leadership -- well, because it kind of is.

The only people I know who got stuck at Senior as they got older were the ones who let themselves get to the point where all they wanted to do was pull a paycheck until they could retire. They stopped giving a fsck when they saw stupid sh-t happening around them and just let it happen.
are people still just now coming to the conclusion this was a fictional character? yikes.
Insanely powerful and underutilized technique: write a list of techniques you can apply (in this case, patterns). Just write the names, you want this to be dense. When you have a choice to make, look at the list. It doesn’t take long to scan 12 names.

This is smart. I wonder if you could get more of a consumer aesthetic and feature set if you looked at the appliances in luxury apartments. The apartments would have to replace the appliances if they fail, so the apartment company has presumably done research and has experience. The end user is still just a consumer though.
The opposite of cool. Literally
I have a done a lot of technical computer things (minus coding) and its definitely interesting to me. I dont think I would like a high pressure FAANG type job but I think there is definitely a niche out there for me. Specifically writing programs for ideas I have or using python to do research/data science type stuff. I know I would like trade school but cant physically handle it.
There isn't really a "source code" per-se for Vanced, they took the official YouTube app, decompiled it, applied hacks and recompiled it - pretty much very much the same way we hacked key checks and CD copy protections back in the day.

So if there's anything resembling source, it's more of a diff of a certain YouTube app version you can't just cleanly upload somewhere or even apply to new versions.

We need to move away from HTML. It's a fully captured spec that's continuously bent towards the needs of its ad-supported patron. We don't need an alternative browser, we need an alternative interaction platform, built from the ground up for extreme resistance to third-party advertising, interactive experiences with a sensible layout model unencumbered by decades of cruft, with full support for end-user introspection and alteration from day 1.

HDR capture (preserving more than 8 bits of light level, preserving meaningful detail in the shadows and not clipping highlights) preserves more of a scene than non-HDR JPEGs. Tone-mapping is the "tasteless HDR effect" which I have mixed feelings about (and can absolutely be done poorly, resulting in light halos around darker objects).
No no, I meant the messaging was conducted over ICQ.
Taken out of context, it seems weird. But not so weird when you see this movie is trying to increase representation of asian americans in film. The protagonist is a canadian-chinese girl growing up in canada. It's meant to celebrate diverse cultures of immigrants and improve the self-image of people not represented by hollywood.
Well said.

Outside of the 18-35 mainstream culture demographic, it feels like there’s a gap.

Why are NIMBYs not activists? I've always found it odd that the same people whose property is taxed are told they shouldn't have a say in what's built with the money and are wrong for protesting such projects.
I was a contractor for years with IBM, Ford, Silicon Graphics. On most of the projects they gave me, I had little or no experience with the technology I had to use to complete the project.

For an AIX project on PS/2, they sent me a double stack of AIX manuals. It was an X Windows project so I bought all the O'Reilly X books and read the main two.

The next project was an RS/6000 project. Same code base (Ford's in-house car design program) but now targeted for PHIGS. I had never even heard of PHIGS. Ford already had the code written, but the trickier things like surface shading were not completely standardized, so every vendor had a slightly different way of setting up the data structures. IBM's Graphigs had to be used.

Next project was the same Ford code, but now on Silicon Graphics with a PHIGS library licensed from a French company.

A friend recommended me once for a project where PCs were connected to an IBM mainframe using 3270 emulation software. The company (Brown-Forman) wanted to automate some aspects of their terminal sessions. I used Turbo Pascal to communicate with the PC emulation software. I'd never used a mainframe, mainframe terminal, 3270 emulation software, or Turbo Pascal, though I did know Pascal.

I would have never been hired for any of these projects if I had to know them inside out to pass an interview before even starting.

No wonder there is a shortage of tech talent. Tech companies today expect you to know everything they might want you to work on when you walk in the door. Ever heard of learning?
> But it's not clear why Mozilla's apparent executive valuation of her is held to a separate standard from every other shmuck in this industry.

Because they’re not a real company. The same rules don’t apply to Mozilla.
I appreciate you letting me know that! I'll be sure to have the product ready before posting next time.

And it is. Totally understandable. Would be happy to provide you with more details!

And valid point. I need to touch upon one of our differentiators more; which is a focus on candidate qualities. While we make it easy to apply, the benefit is that you're only applying to jobs you match best with. Making the hiring process personalized. The filtering process (aka 'The grunt work') has been done upfront, making it incredibly simple to apply on the backend.

I like to think of it like creating a TikTok account. In the signup process, they ask which genres of content you'd like to view / watch. That way your experience is personalized on the backend. We kind of do the same thing. Just in the hiring realm.

And no worries. I really appreciate your feedback and taking the time to comment on my post. I'm pretty new to HN so I appreciate all the advice!
The poster is saying the stakes in oil/gas are high enough that someone IS already paying millions of dollars to have dedicated staff follow projects and give people a heads up if anyone seems actually close (or it seems remotely feasible) - and you'd see it reflected in various market moves, either by hedge funds or by the companies themselves in how they invest on projects.

Which is probably true.

I've heard from friends of some of the typical shenanigans played among state actors involving oil and gas, and that would be the least underhanded thing going on.
As native speaker of Russian language, large part of my Russian identity was the fact, that I was raised in household of WW2 veteran(I was born and lived in one of the ex-Soviet republics, not in Russia). I always viewed Russian army as liberators. In the light of current events, this part of me took a huge blow and I'm not sure, I will ever reconcile. Russian army that is in Ukraine are bunch of untrained, uncoordinated thugs that have zero regards to human life and lead by war criminals. I have nothing but contempt for Russian Army. What up with the new "Z" Swastika ?
I found just using a different port was enough for me and didn't need port knocking to reduce log noise, which I agree is super important.

I also have alerts for both failed SSH or failed wireguard connections, and for any logins from a new IP with either SSH or wireguard.
That creates a branding risk. If the idea spreads that Firefox is a paid product you might scare people away from the free version and the net impact becomes negative.
You mean Ukraine was a part of Rus and Russian empires going back 1000 years. It goes way beyond the Soviet Union...
Those advertisers paid good money for their messages to be heard ! /s
Clearly the market disagrees with you. I’ve never heard of neo or xpeng and GM has a long history of manufacturing vehicles to North American safety standards. Whatever neo or xpeng do is GM incapable of hiring some engineers (they might already have some) to copy it and then build it in their existing factories?

I don't think shadows are darker than in reality, but instead don't have their detail captured, or get swamped out by high black levels on screens or glare in the viewing environment. Also highlights get clipped at a much lower level than in reality (photographs of suns aren't eye-searing unlike the real thing).
There are a couple of arguments that might be presented to explain how affirmative action is different to apartheid.

1) affirmative action does not remove any rights of those groups not targeted by affirmative action. It is possible to argue that by supporting one group, you are implicitly disadvantaging the out-group, but usually this distinction is important. E.g. having a "ladies night" at a bar is generally more acceptable than a "men pay double price" night.

2) affirmative action policies tend to target education and employment. The right to vote is typically is given higher priority when it comes to balancing different rights.

3) Affirmative action can be seen as targeting equal outcomes, not equal treatment[1]. My country offers free breast cancer screening to all women above a certain age. Men can certainly catch breast cancer, but it's far more dangerous to women, so a gender-blind outcome of "we want less people to die of breast cancer" has a gender-aware policy implementation. Most people wouldn't say that this policy is "medical apartheid" on the basis of gender. Similarly, you could say that affirmative action is about getting disparate groups to have equal outcomes in terms of whatever metric you care you measure (educational attainment, income, etc)

[1] not everyone agrees with this. Some people argue that preferential treatment should be given to groups that were historically persecuted (e.g. land confiscation), as remediation.
>software that I own

You don't own Firefox. You have a license to use it. Background network traffic is not a big deal. Ignoring downloading important updates the bandwidth the requests use is not significant. In such a large and complex piece of software as a web browser I do not understand why traffic should be associated with UI interactions. How is the browser supposed to show a notification when someone tweets? Would you prefer to hit a "Check for Notifications" button or would you prefer to just get a notification. The latter option has a million times better UX.
Way back then there were competing visions of what the internet might be - some were corporate (and somewhat based around corporate lock-in) DNA/BNA/SNA/etc others were more com ing from a postal/telegraph sort of world X.25/OSI - in many ways TCP/IP was an outlier, the fact that it didn't really belong to anyone had a lot to do with why it succeeded (also they understood datagrams, and weren't really worried about how to charge for dropped packets).

I suspect (I wasn't even close to being in the room) that freezing TCP was likely a very pragmatic thing, if you wanted to be accepted as THE internet you had to be perceived as finished, otherwise someone else's many 1000 person-year project would have won.

One of the great things about IP is that it's extensible, there's still room for protocols other than UDP/TCP, you can still write something new and better, or a fixed TCP, and install it along side the existing protocols - of course getting everyone to accept it and use it will be difficult
For me it’s the “seemingly” crazy unrealistic deadlines, which are achievable if they don’t actually try and hit net energy gain.

Use 20MW of energy to add 10MW into plasma, get 20MW of fusion, convert 30MW of heat into 10MW of electricity and they have reached their stated goal without actually achieving anything useful. And that’s assuming steady state operation rather than a fraction of a second pulse that briefly reaches their goals.

It’s exactly the same thing as a startup selling dollars for pennies and saying yea we’re going to make it up in volume.
I'm surprised they did not have a plan for this. I thought Vanced would be based in a more "rebel" country like Russia, which is what Sci-Hub does. A Cease and Desist letter from Google would be meaningless there. Were they trying to pull this off in the USA, or other Western countries?

Id argue that active investment, seeking out good companies and deploying capital where it can do the most good growing companies and employing people, is valuable work.

Passive investment less so, but I think the remedy for that is decently high death duties and inheritance taxes. The more we close loopholes in those the better.

Ask HN: Omicron Long Covid Data?
Life was on hold for me for the past few months. With the hope that this omicron wave fades off. It just doesn't seem to happen in my country.

I'm mostly concerned about Long Covid. Is there any reliable data on this topic? I found for example a harvard article

but it seems speculative at best.
