I'm skeptical of that claim. The screen has to be really bright since stores are brightly lit themselves. Then you're putting something generating heat right up against the cavity you want to keep cold.

And then there's the accounts of people opening the doors to see what's inside because it's faster, or opening the doors only to find out the product they wanted is actually not there.

It just feels highly unlikely.
No they haven’t. China has never attempted anything except authoritarian and totalitarian.
I can't answer your question (I left China at a very early age), but I think that it's a shame that the Taiping Civil War isn't widely known as things like the Russian civil war or even the Chinese civil war. People might have a different understanding of China if they knew anything about the Taiping or KMT-CCP wars. Hopefully others can answer your question.
Sure, but democracy has a real meaning. Just because you like single party rule doesn't mean you can call it democracy because that has a better brand than autocracy.
Entity Framework owes a lot to nhibernate - but linq is the best thing that ever happened in ORM world.
I'm not sure how well it works exactly, but when I'm advocating for more rigor or error-checking or other high standards, I try to include justification for why changes to the project under consideration need to be held to this higher standard.

Have some conversations to build consensus with your team about what standards the codebase should be held to at this phase in its lifecycle, and when that decision should be revisited as the project matures and evolves.

It's fine to personally have high standards, but it's important to keep those distinct from the actual needs of the current development work.

For a given standard X like "always check errors" or whatever "Does this change maintain property X of the code?" is a very different question from "Is it worth maintaining property X in our codebase today".

Justifying that a change you advocate for is better is not enough; you also need to reach consensus on that improvement being worth the cost in time, complexity, maintenance, etc.

Also, don't try to revisit that consensus for small matters. Having consensus about what you're collectively aiming for, and people feeling confident that they're aiming at a stable target, is itself extremely important, and is worth trading off a bit of code quality for.

Something else I find really helpful for building credibility in your proposals being well-calibrated instead of universally "do better" is to look for opportunities to change your mind, to be persuaded by someone's argument, and for opportunities to say "This is great as-is; no need for complication here" or "Thanks for keeping this simple". You might consider aiming for "good taste and well-calibrated standards" as a replacement for "high standards".

Help people feel confident that you will advocate for lower standards when appropriate, and they'll believe you way more when you advocate that higher standards are worth it in a specific situation.
You're not wrong, but it is whack-a-mole, and this is one of our hammers.
The other sources produce less because they can. Since nuclear has a high capital cost and low variable cost it bids low.
Walgreens has always tried to harvest every single penny they could squeeze from their customers, mainly by selling the customers PII to anyone and everyone, so this is no big surprise to me.

It reminds me of the obnoxious talking gas pumps that play ads while you’re filling your car.

At first there used to be a “mute” button to where you could silence the crap and all the plastic was worn away from everyone mashing it trying to shut it up.

Now I no longer see any option to mute the ads.

I hate ads with a passion and won’t allow them to run on my devices.
Mainly for security and privacy but the aggravation they cause is palpable.

Whenever I work on someone else’s computer and open a web browser I am in shock that people can even concentrate with all the garbage on the screen.
I had some friends who kept this going for close to two years. They just always had the pot simmering and would throw into it whatever scraps, or sometimes the cheapest meats and vegetables they could find at the market.

Seemed a little dicey to me, but they appeared to appreciate the shared journey and evolution of the thing.
Yeah I really don't understand why this crap needs to be so capable.

You can already do all sorts of tricks with net booting, any HTTP stack needs can be deferred to run in the OS.

I worked extensively with UEFI in a past job and every implementation I could find had large bugs of some kind. It is fine at booting the system but managing it is a nightmare, and it seems like UEFI prompt is designed to be as obtuse as possible. And I didn't even know it could do HTTP calls!
I love .NET malware. If you know anyone that writes malware please encourage them to use python or .NET.
Metaverses are boring. Yet people keep trying to build them.

Games are not boring. The author is correct, Fortnite does a much better job of engaging social events than these snoozefests. Decentraland is a boring place for bad people you don’t wanna hang out with.
This being hacker news some of us enjoy hacking together our own solutions...
You’re making speculative leaps of logic based on jack shit as evidence.
No, it's newer weapons that cause this to be necessary while it wasn't needed previously.

Historically, ballistic missiles were not accurate enough to hit a moving a ship. Nowadays, they are.

It also used to be the case that SRBMs and MRBMs weren't able to acquire a target on their own - the plasma would interfere with radar, and optical sensors were completely unfeasible. However, it seems China and Russia managed to find a way to keep radar working.

That wasn't that big of a problem either, because a warship should be able to jam the radar, but last year the Chinese claimed to have managed to get optical guidance work on an MRBM (DF-21D).

It also used to be the case that finding large surface warship was unpractical, but modern satellites can spot them even from GEO while LEO SAR and optical satellites exploded in numbers, meaning that it's now possible to track large surface warships accurately around the clock.

If that is actually the case, and it seems likely, then unless the US Navy gets very good at intercepting ballistic missiles, the entire fleet, and perhaps even the entire concept of large surface warships, may become untractable.

The Silk Roads: A New History of the World by Peter Frankopan
Hey, thanks for posting this.

Archiving (mis)behavior depends on what machine your account is assigned to, which is why people have dissimilar experiences.

I went off and did some stuff unrelated to the site, and now it's time to pay (or refund!) the piper. I'm sorry it was so difficult to get my attention for a customer service problem!
Of course people recognize that white people come from different classes—that’s not what I’m talking about. What people don’t recognize is that those class differences among white people also map onto ethnicity. “White people” aren’t a single ethnic group any more than “brown people” (south Asians) or “black people” (Africans) are a single ethnic group. And when you look at the different subgroups of “white people” the story becomes much more nuanced.

As to your hypothetical—that may be true but is also mostly irrelevant. It’s pretty uncontroversial among people who study these disparities that economic and other differences between subgroups is caused by structural issues, not prejudice. That’s why, for example, incomes for second-generation Nigerian Americans exceeds those of third+ generation whites even when adjusted for age and education: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/23780231211001....

And as to your larger point, that’s true in theory but not in practice. In practice, one division dominates the others. In the current political environment, race is given the highest emphasis. Thus as a “person of color” I fall into the “oppressed” camp (despite being from a wealthy family back home) while my wife’s family falls into the “oppressor” camp (despite being poor the entire time since they came here 350 years ago).
I have been programming personal projects for the last six years. My question is what to do next, since employers don't seem to care about this fact.
> Insurgencies fighting for their homes can absorb enormous losses, invaders cannot.

That’s more or less what I’m saying here.

He surrounds himself with people that are too stupid to question him. This is called inverse hiring. It works great during peacetime, but falls very short when he needs competent people in wartime.
The ideal solution is custom clients for every service. Why use their proprietary software? We should make our own software we can use to connect to their servers. That way we can make it do whatever we want.
Knowing that we have test plant with geothermal and the depth required is 6,4km even with laser drilling the effectiveness might not be so great.

The gotcha is method tainting. You have to duplicate every waiting method if you want to support synchronous and asynchronous API. And it spreads.
I keep seeing stories about how different people designed their own prosthetics. Are prosthetics on the market just not good enough? Why I that? And why are they so expensive?
Frankly I think this fact is a major barrier for people with Ukraine and Russia as well. People can’t comprehend that people there, especially in Russia, see the conflict much differently than people in Canada or the USA might. It’s almost as though instead they assume people are dysfunctional or stupid. It seems very detrimental to collectively moving forward. People really do seem well-suited to living in small and homogenous groups, not billions upon billions in a global civilization.
Speaking of China, last week a relatively new Chinese colleague asked me if I was pro-Putin or pro- Ukraine. I thought it was a disturbing question, so I asked it back, but he said he didn't want to choose a side. Because I was shocked, I didn't continue the conversation. Has my colleague, who also watches western media and who has been living outside of China for over 4 years, been brainwashed by the CCP? Should I be worried?
The Art of Monetary War
Any form of human interaction has and will be used for good and bad things equally and there will always be anger. If you was to stop people doing something that some deem to make them angry, then there would be just as many, even more who would be angry that you stopped it.

Problem is - people communicate - they can get angry, compared with people who don't communicate - they get physical in their communication.

So the web, is good. After all, should we lambast whoever invented paper for the selection of bad printed material in human history. Nope.
Then the best way I can think of is to let the local people in Xinjiang judge. Moreover, the Xinjiang issue is really sensitive, and I hope everyone will not fan the flames. Another question, I don't quite understand why Western countries always like to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. Because they are developing better, they should go to other countries to play the role of savior?
A driver wants unmet demand. A heatmap of demand that ignores supply is more but not better information.
Apparently this tendency comes all the way back from the Mongols era. This lecture goes through over 800 years of Russian history (it’s in Finnish but you can turn on English subtitles): https://youtu.be/CvonRMSuFpw
Yeah, every time I have to update my bios over ethernet, I kind of just shudder internally. Downloading and flashing is a pain, but it still just feels wrong for some reason.
Not sure why you're being downvoted, as these are real pain points. As other comments have pointed out, .NET rebranding sucks and is confusing (like .NET Core, .NET Standard, etc.). And the questions around the GUI toolkits don't help. WinForms is the only thing that is (still) consistently developed - kind of.
That assumes start-end time is more important than labor time.
Everything you are being told is a lie. Nothing you read or hear is true. You cannot trust the local media.
> [VC] economics come from the few huge outcomes where founders also have a life changing outcome. Also, gambling has a negative expected value,

VCs get more shots on goal, so the typical outcome of a VC could approach that of the average of the industry. (It doesn't, but that's for other reasons.)

Founders can't because they have too few shots on goal.

Suppose that I'll give you a 10% chance at $100k if you pay me $1k.

If you can take that offer "enough" times, you have reasonable odds of making 5-12x on your money.

However, if 100 people take that offer once each, around 90% of them will lose their $1k. (They should pool.)

So, in your opinion, why would those CPU users want to migrate to an FPGA and your software rather than to Nvidia T4 or Tegra and CUDA?

It doesn't take omniscience or omnipotence or a limitless supply of extraordinary employees to effect severe oppression. North Korea exists. The KGB, now called the FSB, exists. The Great Firewall exists. Xinjiang internment camps exist. Operation Fox Hunt exists. WeChat & Douyin censorship exists. The Gestapo used to exist. American government-enforced chattel slavery used to exist. American Japanese internment camps used to exist.

So tell me, how do you get there from "my local American DMV can barely fill out a form correctly"? Because it happened. And it will continue happening if we forget history.

There's no shortage of post-soviet-collapse, pre-9/11, peak 90s childhood nostalgia from millennials though. That period of time is what I see whenever someone says Pax Americana.
I've read that the startup process of building new or subsequent nuclear plants will be considerably shorter due to the groundwork for the Finnish reactor paving the way.

Which seems to topple most of your argument.

As for wind turbines on land, they require a lot more space for the same yield, space which is stolen or irreversibly destroyed for the local fauna. Here in Norway, wind turbines near settlements are also forced to run on diminished capacity at night because of the health problems people associate with the 24/7 humming and whoosh noises (not kidding).
Eh, this is a very libertarian's and one sided view.

Greedy idiots, if they are the bank owner, the unchecked regulator, or the common pleb looking to make a quick buck are all social dangers that must be dealt with properly.
It's quite common for UIs to introduce fake latency on purpose so that users trust the application more. When it goes too fast, users don't trust it, so a benevolent deception is introduced.

Now I don't know enough about 'dialects' in the sinosphere but I think that a dominant 'national' language is an expected outcome of globalisation. For example, French threatening to wipe out Occitan, Corsican and Breton, Castillian Spanish with Catalonian and other Iberian languages, Hindi and Urdu in India and Pakistan, etc. That's not to say that it's a good thing, just that it has happened in other places too. French policy on language might just be as strict from what I've read.
>The more interesting thing however is that the US SAMs failed once again to intercept the SRBMs. If really US air defences can't intercept SRBMs reliably, the US Navy is in gigantic, perhaps even existential, trouble.

I don't know if this has anything to do with that:

"Biden Orders Major Reversal Of Trump’s Missile Battery Build-Up In Gulf" [0]

>"A major “realignment” of US defense priorities is resulting in a new extended drawdown of troops, aircraft, and anti-aircraft missiles from the Middle East, The Wall Street journal says in a new report, especially a prior missile battery build-up under Trump in Saudi Arabia."

The article mentions Iraq but not Erbil.

This gave the entire industry a bad reputation for not showing up. I know when I drove airport shuttles we often rescued people who had tried to get a taxi.

Precommitting to an SLA can earn more customers’ trust, but it only works when every driver is confident about coming out ahead on average. $5 was too low for that job.

Spanish-Speaking Software Companies?
I’m at the point where working in Spanish would be the logical next step for improving my language skills. However, it seems like most software development happens in English. Anyone know of companies where Spanish is the primary language in the workplace?
Well in your defence, nothing has really changed to make these events less disconcerting and learning skills to navigate and handle situations of this magnitude isn’t a trivial matter. It’s important to realize, I think, that this stuff really is a big deal. It would be worse if we all became totally apathetic and had no sense of the significance of what’s unfolding around us.
this^ 100%

The companies and corporations that sell investment vehicles and services try to "make it cool/funny" to not understand money and that "rich people have their wealth managed for them", a bunch of bologne!

That being said, it's not simple, and people need to be serious about investing, it's very easy to get burned without the proper education/patience
Ah, didn't think about #2, that makes sense.
Why do EVs mostly be charged at night?

We have electricity run to almost everywhere there is a road, and every building that we spend any significant amount of time in. We can charge at work or on the street during the day. Basically anywhere a car is stationary.

With the right incentives and infrastructure we can shift electric vehicle charging to daytime, or whenever there is excess generating ability coming from the grid.
If people were allowed to go to Xinjiang without having people block them, follow them, take their cameras and memory cards, threaten them, etc. and freely allowed to move around and interview people etc and take photos and ask questions. Then one of 2 things would happen. Either it proves all the information and eye witness reports we currently have. Or it shows everything in Xinjiang is fine.

But the fact no one is allowed to freely investigate Xinjiang only enforces that someone is going on and the CCP is trying to hide it.
I already use this list, and one thing to note, which is not necessarily bad and can be good in many cases, is that this can also block TV firmware updates.

I just have to check manually once in a while and disable while I update the firmware. Of course firmware in most cases can also be updated via USB.
As someone who has lived, worked, and has family in Guangdong/Guangzhou, a large number identify as Cantonese. I feel like your idea of what people think in these regions is just repeating the same stereotypes repeated in China, stating perception of feelings as fact.

Language standardization was for the written form, not spoken.

The only exception I see with this analysis is that a lot of people really genuinely seem to hold Putin in high regard. His supporters really, really support him. It's like a cult, similar to what we had in the US recently. Therefor I conjecture anyone who replaces Putin forcibly will have a rough time. Time will tell.
And they intentionally exclude it others. Kids in the 90s would get the stick if they spoke in Cantonese in school.

In my mind, they are more one size fits all. The amazing human machinery is so very adaptable. For a particular person's unique needs and application it makes sense to tailor it and no one knows more than the person using the prosthetic. This is analogous to writing your own software tool.
This is not a bad analogy considering Guangdong has historically been the seat of many internal conflicts.
Today, what are the alternatives?

If you add in batteries with todays technology the nuclear plants are competituve with solar or wind.

So the alternative is coal or natural gas plants.
Which then have their own drawbacks.

Solutions that are built today need to use technology available today.

Nuclear is fine, especially when you are not buying the first reactor of its kind from a vendor who has never fully built a plant on its own.
Areva got a tad too greedy and cut out the middleman in the form of doing 100% of the work themselves instead of the usual 30% and contracting out the rest.
