As below commenters have pointed out this is a choice. Uranium can be sourced from many locations. It can also be processed in Germany if they had wanted (Germany is a part owner of Urenco which also has a small enrichment plant in Germany amongst other locations).

To steel man your argument though in the context of funding Russia’s genocide in Ukraine when comparing Germany’s use of gas vs if it kept its nuclear plants operating we should look at the Euro per joule cost of the gas bought from Russia vs the Euro per joule cost of enriched U bought from Russia. I suspect we are talking orders of magnitude difference. But that information is conveniently not being provided in this article.

Neither is discussed the ability to easily stockpile a couple of years of fuel supply as many plants have done, which right now would enable you to continue operating while spinning up supplies from elsewhere.

Another note regarding the claim in the article: “For the operators of so-called WWER reactors, Russia is therefore even the only supplier of custom-made hexagonal fuel rods.”

Westinghouse can make these fuel assemblies, they started on this for Ukraine. Framatome I believe has also offered to do this. There’s nothing secret about Rosatom fuel assemblies.

I wonder how come I was lucky enough to get a high paying job at a FAANG company when other people struggle for years and do tons of interviews and got nothing. Are you stuck in a state with not many jobs? Is it because FAANG companies only hire people who went to really good schools? Maybe the commenter above is actually not very good at interviewing and doesn't realize it? Something else?
Canada's immigration rate isn't "crazy high" it's been an average of 1% per year for the last 100 years. It's standard. What's not standard is limiting new construction.

That makes things even worse. If a women can't fit in that car and goes into a normal car, there are POS who can now justify sexually assaulting them. Cracking down on the crime and publicly humiliating the perpetrators would be far better for society.
When I do a search for a site that I know will come up first in results and I see an ad up too for that same site, I feel sad. And I scroll past the ad and click on the non-ad link and I think about why this is a thing. As long as google rules the browser and keeps pouring money into being the default search this will be a thing. It’s tragic.
That's some hardcore movie-bad-guy level crime.

> DNS to be handled by a partner service provider, so they get all my data instead of my ISP getting it? Doesn't seem like an improvement.

It's an improvement in two ways. One, the DoH provider will only know that your IP address looked up certain hosts, unlike your ISP who also knows the association between your real-life identity and your IP address. Two, most ISPs (especially in the US) have horrific privacy policies and practices compared to the DoH servers.
The last one. I went through 6 months of terrible interviewing and self reflection before I was any good. It’s a skill in itself.

> It was also funny how people were screaming about people going to beaches, hey, they're outdoors, if the groups are distant to each other, they'll probably be fine!

The problem with trips to the beach during the height of a pandemic isn't that a couple of people sitting far apart on a beach have anything to worry about. In theory it'd be fine, but people ruin everything.

They swing by multiple houses to pick up a bunch of friends for their day at the beach, drive in from out of town, stop at the store for food and drinks and sun screen, then stop to get gas, then get to the beach and see thousands of other people have decided to do the same thing (see https://news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-thousands-flock-to-be...) and now you have crowds of people who might as well be at a music festival or motorcycle rally.

Yeah, people (especially those who are making great sacrifices to prevent the spread of a virus and protect their community) are going to be upset at the massive beach parties going on. It's annoying to get left out of a party even when it isn't undermining your efforts to lower the number of infections and deaths in your neighborhood.
Or even if there was a way for them store an image, like album art, as a file in a filesystem. They could keep a folder with multiple files...

Diagnosis of anything mental is inherently cultural and will be seen through subjective lenses. I would be very surprised if autism rates were truly different across the world. If so, then that would provide a good basis to compare populations to get at the root.

I love this article - I knew someone very closely who had “severe ADHD” quotes because in certain things - such as tracking - they were intensely focused and effective. The more time outside they spent , the better they seemed. They eventually found a position with the game commission that overall seemed to work well for them.

They weren’t able to stay focused on nearly anything outside of nature, excluding things that brought them anxiety.

However , this is anecdotal. They were before that able to run a semi successful cleaning business for rental properties, with the main issue being paperwork related.

> As a consequence, using any software under a non-OSI-approved licensing combination requires professional advice on the scope of rights being granted. [...] Sticking to OSI-approved licenses is the way to ensure that everyone’s expectations are met.

I have absolutely no strong opinion on either the OSI or the FSF, and I don't really care about licenses in general. Yet it seems like the OSI really likes to add these sorts of "conclusions" even if they don't really add anything to the article?

This post isn't that bad since it's just misplaced and bland marketing. But they also recently posted a pretty misleading article about the same court case where they made a lot of weird assumptions to again conclude that they are the only true path (tm). [0]

This wouldn't surprise me if it came from a corporation but why would a non profit be so militant and uncompromising w.r.t licensing philosophy? I get advocacy but I guess I'm not used to non-profits being so... competitive?

The median dev job is like 100k in the US so I don't think your experience (though unfortunate, not disputing that) is representative of the market. Salaries for experienced developers are climbing even now and there is a general shortage.

> Affero General Public License version 3 with the addition of the Commons Clause (referred to in the case as the “Neo4j Sweden Software License”) was “free and open source” software. Unfortunately that case contains one more decision that is already raising concerns among the open source community.

I still think AGPLv3 is the future for open source[0], but not like this, this is pretty egregious as adding the commons clause removes freedoms.

This article contains the biggest confirmations I've seen of my long-held stance that the AGPL was never meant to prevent commercial use:

> That conclusion goes against the intent of the drafters of the AGPLv3. The GPLv3 Second Discussion Draft Rationale says in footnote 73 that the restriction was aimed at the copyright owners themselves: “Here we are particularly concerned about the practice of program authors who purport to license their works under the GPL with an additional requirement that contradicts the terms of the GPL, such as a prohibition on commercial use.”

I do wonder if a bunch of projects need to start considering a move to BSL or SSPL or something else.

[EDIT] clarify that the commons clause is causing freedom removal.

It's not meaningless. Licensees can remove clauses introduced by other licensees, but cannot remove clauses introduced by the original licensor.

In this case, the original licensor introduced the Commons Clause, and licensees can't remove it.

(Notwithstanding whether it was legitimate for Neo4J to present their modified text under a deceptive name.)
> As Plaintiffs point out, however, the AGPLv3 defines “you” as the licensee, not the licensor. AGPL § 0 (“Each licensee is addressed as ‘you’”). Thus, read correctly, Sections 7 and 10 prohibit a licensee from imposing further restrictions, but do not prohibit a licensor from doing so.

I don't understand this argument at all.

Section 7 states

> All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term.

And since "you" means the licensee, wouldn't that mean the licensee can remove the additional terms added by the commons clause?

Hi, sorry about your suffering. I think this is a hard thing to diagnose or make a prescription for, so everyone will be just telling you whatever has been good for them -- that's what I'm going to do.

I'm a little worried from your description that you might be aversive to some stuff that might be helpful. If a big part of the problem is an unruly mind that would benefit from training, it seems to me that you might have a choice between the easy way and the hard way, where the hard way actually is the easy way, i.e., bite the bullet and pay a bit now, or end up paying a lot more over the course of many years. I can't tell if that's the case... it's just something you have to evaluate.

If you think that's possible, here's the stuff I recommend:
https://library.dhammasukha.org/uploads/1/2/8/6/12865490/the...

I've done that method for a few years, and all negative feelings like anger, sadness, anxiety, etc, have been greatly attenuated, whereas positive stuff like kindness, joy, and equanimity have greatly increased. The method simply trains the mind to be untroubled.
Thank you! Fixed it
Having spent the past 3 years building online checkout and mobile payment solutions at a top fintech company, it hurts to read articles like this where some of red flags are so "obvious".

During my time there, I would regularly check our monitoring dashboards and analytics tools to understand how business is doing. We also had frequent all-hands during which business metrics are communicated transparently. Through digesting and understanding the data from various sources, I was able to have a good sense of how well the business is doing, and that helped me grow in the confidence of the company.

Online checkout, as simple as it looks, has tons of complexities, nuances and interplay of various factors hidden behind it. But that's another long long story.
Are you trying to say "what if there are some cases where government oversight results in a net loss?" or what you actually said: what if the net of all action against externalities by government is cheaper than having no government?

If you actually do then decide to have no government, then some other entity will take over and they will be your new government. At the end of the day you have to be part of some group, and that group needs rules. Democracy happens to be my preferred way of deciding rules for the group, but maybe you have some other preference? Maybe the richest should be able to do whatever they want as long as it benefits them and those that they transact with. Who am I to judge.

If we are only talking about the solution to some externalities, and that overall government is a net win, then the solution is to make sure that you are electing people that care about governing wisely. That means that they know when to regulate and when to remove regulations. Too much of either is disastrous.
Wasn't the AGPL created to address exactly this loophole?
If referring to a definite existing person who is physically present the default is to infer gender from a combination of physical attributes, name, and style of dress. This works about 99.9% of the time. For example it is almost always possible to tell that a person desires to present as a female even if they have some masculine attributes and or name and you can be nice and predict what they would prefer. The small percentage of times you get this wrong you just correct yourself and apologize and move on.

Being decent to people is important. Now if you are referring to a hypothetical person for example in documentation you can't misgender them because you are speaking hypothetically. At that point I think the choice is an aesthetic choice as opposed to a moral one. On cannot be harmed by the documentation using a different pronoun because the person was never speaking directly of you in the first place.
I also need to pile on:

"I spent at least 8-10 hours a week getting things to work on Linux"

I’m from where the Phonecians originated.

It makes me sad to see the state Lebanon is today, but ironically part of the reason of the Phonecians’ demise was they didn’t have a strong enough army, relied on mercenaries and ultimately the major city states were not unified.

Funny (sadly) enough, all of the conditions above remain true.

What do studies say about the Flynn Effect when it comes to the upper classes? My guess is that the upper classes have always had a decent diet and good living conditions. So, if improvements in those things are what is driving the Flynn effect, the upper classes were probably always just about as intelligent as the average person today. And, in all classes, at least a portion of people, who happened to have decent living conditions, would also be up to today's standards of intelligence.

https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abk1781 says "The MW fit values are blinded during analysis with an unknown additive offset in the range of −50 to 50 MeV". So they added a random number so they didn't game the analysis to be near the known value. It's nothing as complicated as homomorphic encryption.
Banach–Tarski relies upon the Axiom of Choice / Law of the Excluded Middle. Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory is independent of the Axiom of Choice and there's an entire field of Mathematics called Constructivist Mathematics which avoids including the Axiom of Choice / Law of the Excluded Middle.

I had a hard time grasping why the Axiom of Choice / Law of the Excluded Middle was so problematic until I heard it translated into a Computer Science context.

The Law of The Excluded Middle sounds very reasonable at first. For all propositions P, P ∨ ¬P. i.e. Every proposition is either true or false. Sounds fine right? But when viewed in the context of computer science via the Curry-Howard Isomorphism. A proposition is actually a program, and deciding the truth value of a proposition involves "running" that program. So The Law of the Excluded Middle is actually the Halting Problem! It's really saying that all possible programs terminate and yield true or false, but we know that some programs don't terminate, some propositions aren't true or false, but undecidable.

So circling back around to the Banach-Tarski paradox. I would be very skeptical of any paradoxes resulting from assuming the halting problem doesn't exist!

It doesn't need to use DNS at all. As long as it can rendezvous through some IP, it can just tunnel all of it's discovery stuff through TLS, or anything else it wants. This is a particularly silly cat-and-mouse game that network pentesters have been winning for decades; it's only because DNS people had a strange heyday as botnet hunters, and botnet authors are really dumb, that this folk wisdom about the importance of DNS policy set in so firmly.
Although that is one way to get out of a local minimum.

David Herlihy made the argument in The Black Death and the “Transformation of the West”, that much of feudal Europe prior to the plague was caught in a Malthusian deadlock, where labor was abundant and thus cheap enough that there was no return to investment in technology or capital. It was only when labor became scarce and expensive that investments in productivity were justified.
