I totally agree. My Sony TV has lost sound multiple times. A full restart is the only solution and that takes a few minutes.

Everything is so slow. Back when Freeview started being a thing in the UK, TVs then had a rapid TV Guide built in and everything felt instant. Now every screen change is a pause. I've got a PS5 so I'm much happier using that for apps.

It feels like feature phones were slow and laggy, we then got responsive smartphones. TVs were responsive, now they're slow and laggy.
> They could've passed all of the other elements of GPDR and excluded the mandatory nag screens

GDPR doesn’t specify “mandatory nag screens”. It only requires that you ask permission to collect and process other peoples data, if processing that data isn’t absolutely necessary to access the service they’ve requested.

If you just give people what ask for, and don’t try and surreptitiously collect, process and monetise their data, then you don’t need ask for consent, so no need for consent boxes.

What's surprising is the length of time of this project. It was started in 2000, and just completed. That's 23 years of development. These nuclear projects appear to take a significant amount of time.

By comparison, this wind turbine project near my parents was approved in 2016 and completed in 2018, providing 78 megawatts of power. Yes that's significantly less than the 1.6 gigawatts of this Finnish power plant. But, consider that in the same time period, 10 of this wind projects could be completed.

On top of that, solar projects are also much faster. Look at the Solar Star solar installation which provides .5 gigawatts of power, started in 2013 and completed in 2015. So 10 of these could have been completed in the same time as the Finnish system. No, I'm not suggesting that Solar is a good option in Finland. And yes, it would be important to work on massive battery storage systems, to make these work.

This just points out just how uneconomical nuclear power is. On top of that, with nuclear facilities coming under fire in Ukraine and Russia making (probably bluffing) threats against Finland, it really makes nuclear an unappealing option. Can someone point out why these projects are so attractive to so many people when it would appear that a combination of renewables appear to both be faster to bring on line and overall safer?

Agreed, however if a government official says “These records are confidential, please don’t look at them” and then they leave them on a park bench in front of you, then it is a felony to for you to look at them.

In this case, it would be like going through the UI and trying to access the record and getting denied because of a client side access block, so you make a direct call to the backend instead to retrieve the record. You’re making a perfectly legitimate HTTP request but for something you know you shouldn’t be able to access: illegal.
> I think is how it is supposed to be - parents making decisions for their kids using their best judgement

Yes.

> (preferences).

No. The parent is supposed to use their best judgment about what is best for the kid given the kid's reasonable long-term preferences [1]--not the parent's preferences. Or, to put it another way, what is best for the actual kid, not what would be best for the parents if they were in the kid's position. The two are often very different.

[1] I say "reasonable long-term preferences" to make it clear that I am not saying parents should indulge a kid's preferences for sugary foods instead of nutritious ones, lots of TV instead of a better mix of intellectual activities, and no exercise. I'm talking about cases where the adult the kid will grow up to be will genuinely say they are different from the parents in this respect and wish their preferences as a kid had been respected.
Even better, a controlled whipping. Flick that switch hard. Draw blood. Nothing teaches ‘em like the old methods.
As with Hitler (and Stauffenberg's briefcase), the only one who has a real chance is someone close to him.
This assumes that the kids themselves actually learn and grow at some point.

Some don't. It may be that the parents overcorrect and never teach their kids right/wrong, or it could just be the kid being a problem, or any number of other issues.

That's not an argument that applies here, because Americans actually do buy stupidly big cars.

No, I don't. Here's some numbers, which you could have looked for yourself, with the search engine of your choice:

" According to data from IHS Automotive, larger vehicles accounted for 63 percent of total US sales in 2013. Meanwhile, large vehicles only accounted for 25.4 percent of all vehicles sold outside the US during the same year."

> Those plots and attacks range from completely unverifiable conspiracy theories, to unintended consequences, to actions that one might reasonably argue were an attempt to interfere with public transit.

The cars are bigger. The cities are less livable. The conspiracies are verifiable, there are entire books, documentaries, and Wikipedia pages about the various fuckeries involved.

You seem to be rather defensive about this though, so feel free to think whatever you like.

> The discussion is whether or not it is even feasible to have that anywhere in the US

That may be what you wish to discuss - fine. You can have that discussion somewhere else, with someone else. It is feasible though - and necessary. Again, the fucking planet is burning.

> Myth 1: .NET is for Windows

I kinda had the opposite myth, that .NET core is cross platform, in my head. Then one day someone handed us something to actually run on Linux so off I went to try and install .NET on our linux box and run it. That's when I found it was anything but trivial and in fact, nearly impossible to install it without root permissions on the server we were using (HPC compute cluster where admin access is forbidden). Then we ran into all sorts of problems with having the wrong version so about 3 or 4 random attempts at different versions later and after emulating the install in a VirtualBox clone of the OS so we could manually fetch out dependencies, we finally got a version of it that ran.

So yeah, maybe it's technically cross platform but it's a far cry from the portability and deployment story that other languages like Java or even Python offer.
You could pay a very small amount for a used house router and convince the TV that the house router is The Internet... and The Internet is down today. Best is if the TV doesn't try wifi when an ethernet cable is plugged in. Second best is if it has credentials to the wifi running on the used router.

Note that the router should not actually be connected to any other network.

Effort is going to go to diseases that they reckon have a high probability of success with just by presenting specific antigens. Herpes has had vaccine candidates in clinical trials that failed, chewing through hundreds of millions of dollars along the way. Difficult disease because of the way the virus goes dormant inside of nerve cells, and trials would be expensive and take a very long time because exposure is slow and generally takes years.
> .Net async/await come with gotchas.

What are the gotchas?

The only snags I see with async/await are when developers don't know what they're doing and try to force async methods to be synchronous with .Result. If you async it all the way down the stack: your web controller methods are async / your program's main is async, you'll have no issues. It's actually great, because you don't even have to know the internals or what it's doing.

I know this will come off a bit spicy, but this is how all of CNN's articles are written, it's just that we're way more sensitive to wording that's sympathetic to advertising.

this is overly reductive. the post didnt ask why we aren't building more libraries, it's asking whether we would build them today if they didn't exist.

just like it's not ambiguous that libraries are a net positive, it's not ambiguous whether we need more housing and infrastructure. it's not ambiguous that we should deal with climate change. the inaction is not because of ambiguity, it's because we are unwilling to make short-term sacrifices. it's because there is no shared belief in a greater good.

these are the kinds of decisions that were, for whatever reason, more easily made in the past than now. Look at the New Deal.
This is a comment about a bank in the united states, on a thread of comments about banks in the united states, replying to an article about banks in the united states, hosted on a website in the united states, that is visited primarily by people from the united states.

I've never understood why we need 4 or 5 burner ranges, possibly with a slight size variations. I really only ever want one high power burner and one simmer burner. A dedicated wok burner sounds like a great addition. Another option would be to abandon the dedicated range entirely, and have a variety of countertop induction units that can be stored away when not in use. I don't think you could sell a home with a kitchen like that but it would be a big win for versatility, especially in small homes.
Some are low hanging fruit because training the immune system on a single specific protein antigen is sufficient to induce immunity. I don't think the RNA is too big of a deal because ultimately its role in the vaccine is to get cells to produce a protein for the immune system to attack, not induce immunity itself.

We are not discussing the question of whether leaded solder should be banned, but the question of whether it is advisable for hobbyists to use it in a home environment. RoHS prohibitions on leaded solder have nothing to do with concerns about the safety of home soldering.

I'm not sure why you think that the absence of relevant safety data argues in favor of using leaded solder for home soldering. Surely one should err on the side of caution. I use unleaded solder myself without problems. Why then would I want to take on the additional risk of using leaded solder? It's worth noting that there is no known safe dose of lead ("there is no lower threshold to the dose-response relationship below which lead exposure is treated as safe" [1]). If you are spraying little balls of lead around your home environment, it's obvious that there is a non-zero risk of eventually ingesting some of them. People aren't doing scientific studies to prove that because it comes under the heading of the "bleedin' obvious" :)

Of course everyone can make their own decisions here. If you really want to use leaded solder then go ahead. What I don't quite understand is why some people react so strongly to the precautionary advice to use unleaded solder.

What is real democracy? Is it true that only Western democracy is correct in the world? It's just a joke.

It's not that China doesn't have democracy. China's democratic system was created by itself based on its own national conditions. It is completely different from Western democracy, but it does not mean that there is no democracy.

It is recommended that you read the history of China objectively and understand how this country with a long history has developed step by step to today. Oh I believe your opinion will change.
You are egregiously wrong.

One thing I've come to really see clearly recently, perhaps a decade or so ago -- whenever it seems like a city is "shaped weirdly," or "hmm, that's odd, why is this neighborhood here or this road there?" 99% of the time you can trace it back to racism being a big factor.

"The foreign perspective is straight up cartoonish and the "all seeing superpowered computers monitor you 24/7" narrative could be straight up out of futuristic Japanese anxieties of the 80s."

It's 'cartoonish' for someone who has not yet been on the receiving end of the negative externalities of such system to fathom that it doesn't exist.

Why don't you, as an 'Enlightened Ex-Pat in China' go around making posts about the history of Tiananmen, or write a critical piece about the police state in Xianjing, and then see what happens? Or any number of other things?

"In reality life in China today is not much different than it is anywhere else."

Of course it is - because most of us are preoccupied with normal things.

Life in Russia is 'mostly the same as everywhere else', even right now, as we speak, isn't it?

And yet, witness what is happening in Ukraine.

'Life in China is mostly the same as everywhere else' is true, just as up to a million people are being interned on the basis of their ethnicity.

The OP is effectively correct: although 'bias' may not be the correct term, certainly the simple participation in absolutist and totalitarian systems without oversight is a problem, and the attitude that somehow this is 'normal' and 'without externalisations' is what OP was referring to as 'bias'.

Your own dissonance is similar, and it's at the root of the problem.

"My life is normal, ergo, the system is relatively normal" is the myopia that allows for these things to happen.

My point was that when you calculate the cost/kWh from a nuclear plant, if you then are going to operate than plant only 50% (say) of the time you could otherwise do so, the cost/kWh from that plant goes way up, because those high fixed costs are now amortized over only half the output.

Note that even some of the OPERATING costs of a nuclear plant are fixed. You still need about as many staff to run the plant even if you cycle it up and down.

The renewables will be wind and PV. Biomass uses too much land area, and would likely be reserved for specialty markets like chemical feedstocks and perhaps aviation fuel.

> A reasonable person wouldn't build a house with no walls to store their secrets in, and then put the house in a public place and give access to the public.

That's obviously true under some formulations, but it doesn't matter, because they won't be on trial. The person who performed the unauthorized access will be.

> A reasonable person knows intuitively that only crime committed was that of embarrassing the rich and/or well connected.

I consider myself a reasonable person and I'm perfectly happy to have unauthorized access punishable under the law. I value the fact that society takes an onion-like approach to information security. There are incentives for private organizations to secure data, but when they fail to, the risk of criminal sanctions probably prevent some breaches that would otherwise occur. I also do not value the ability to look at computer systems on an unauthorized basis -- i.e. I do not think it brings any value to society -- so by my lights, I lose nothing by it being illegal.
