Because no amount of changing the power mix in Europe will prevent climate change.

Indonesia is gigantic has a huge population and will have a massive amount energy needs. If not nuclear this will be coal. And those plants have 50 year lifetime at least.

The reality is that climate change will be decided in India, Indonesia and China more then anywhere else. If they can actually adopt nuclear and be a pro nuclear society they have the potential to have game changing impact.

Indonesia in particular has gigantic amount of people living at the cost. So an approach where you do centralized building and then ship the plants to the population makes a lot of sense. And Indonesia by itself is big enough that its actually worth building such a model. They will need 100s of GWs of reactors if they want to reach Western standards of power consumption.

> investing in their own power/heat storage capabilities

Yes and that costs a lot of money. Europe is also in a Europe wide power net with lots of nuclear, coal and renewables. Doing that in such a system is much more doable then in Indonesia.

Obama is a very smart dude. 2 years ago he saw it building and he misidentified this as activism.

John Mcwhorter I believe better identified this as a religion: https://www.vox.com/vox-conversations-podcast/2021/11/2/2272...

As an atheist you see the same pattern often. Here's a hour long video of sam harris and john talking about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPHUu9sAGKo&t=2s

This new religion has the christians, muslims, atheists, and others all worked up.

It's unusual for a new global religion to form, nothing there to really prevent it. The big difference this time is they got really big while remaining undercover.

I guess my prediction as well. You could become a preacher for this new religion, set for life to serve. Just need to figure out how to. If you do try this, make sure you are following the golden rule every day. Make sure you're 100% positivity. Try to merge religions, I'm pretty sure 'coexist' is a big part of this.
They’ve been losing convoys left and right to drone strikes, artillery, and night time raids.

> this finally the sign of new physics, which we all have been hoping for?

I don't understand this mindset?
Why (aside from creating jobs) is it good to discover that the universe is more complicated than we knew, or that we were wrong?

To me, what we want in "new physics" is explanations for unexplained phenomena, or resolutions to know problems/inconsistencies (like quantum vs gravity), or emergent effects that less to interesting applications.
I love it. I wish the search was better though. Yesterday I searched for something and could only find it using a combination of search terms, not with the individual search terms.
What do you mean by ‘a provider like gmail’? Because Outlook.com arguably is a provider like Gmail and it accepts and then silently discards emails all the time. My experience with them is exactly the same as kilburn’s.

There I can certainly agree, but ...

> An exe is a singleton, a file is a singleton. Most things in a computer are singletons.

I would say you are mistaking the instance for the class.
An individual exe/file/... are instances of the abstract concept file or executable.

What you are interacting with is usually an instance, not a class.
If nuclear weapons are such a powerful detterent to a poorly-armed asymmetric insurgency, then why do you think the US didn't decide to use nuclear weapons in Afghanistan/Iraq?
Ok. Let's discuss the "merits" of this quote then if you insist.

Which groups can you "not criticize" in the US? Or, at the very least, criticizing which groups will generate the most backlash? I have my own perspective on this list, but I'm very interested in hearing yours. And then I'm interested in hearing you describe how these groups in particular are "in power."
Yes, I know. I wrote about it my other comment. You can find full presentations that they are giving to different officials.

This is really bad editorializing: the original uses "challenges", while this uses "disproves". "Disproves" is not appropriate in any empirical setting, doubly so where there are constant back-and-forth "no, your results are wrong" publications.
Two reasons:

1. An application firewall would prevent Apple from collecting data from its customers. (An obvious exception for Apple's app would result in negative publicity for it).

2. Apple also has an online advertising network, and in the early days Apple's plan was to entice developers to use their ad platform on various apps. This would mean Apple could make money from "free" apps too (developers who charged for their apps were already paying the "Apple Tax"). An application firewall preventing network access would make such an ad service useless on their platform.
Why teach them anything at all if the truth will seep in anyway?

Besides, I bet I can think of a looong list of human beliefs once held dear by many people you'd strongly object to being taught in public schools. It's not a free speech issue, because it's paid for by taxpayers, and kids are forced to attend it.
Even with 20 year old design, you'd be using modern process which in itself should make room for significant improvements in scaling, frequency and power usage.

It's like an X11 rendition of the Borland tui.

It didn't have a logo or icon so I made one. (several crap ones actually)

Now the modern system I was using that emulated-old-thing on is itself even older than turboc was at the time.
This was also the example that came to my mind. It is perhaps one of the most iconic examples, and as such, absent a concrete example or further clarification, I don't see why you shouldn't assume that this is representative of what the author had in mind.
The author and her husband are very successful entrepreneurs in Detroit. Even forty years ago this wasn't a very nice neighborhood. It's an excellent demonstration of the hardy, perhaps stubborn people, who never left the city of Detroit when things started to fall apart.

For decades it was jokingly hard to buy an empty lot or even an abandoned house that reverted to the county over bad taxes. Now it's extremely easy to buy an abandoned lot if you live nearby. It's getting easier to buy abandoned houses, but no where as simple as it should be.

Ok. My bad here, I don't have Americas in my day-to-day mental picture, opposite to South-East Asia and Africa. Yes, with native Americans it looks much worse for British and Spain, you are right.

But, no, Vietnamese people can not get French citizenship on special conditions and never could. But they was killed & tortured on the grounds of owning too thick and too long stick, and French soldiers sent postcards with such photos to home! It was not 18 or 19 century, as in Americas, but 1910-1920!

On the other hand, British not only build roads and railroads in India (Myanmar railroads built by British colonial administration are still in use, including some gorgeous and highest mountain bridges), but cut weavers' hands in India, too.

Ok, I can not rate them all. It is just bad.
There are lots of ways to do this. Postfix is nice but a little heavy. The simplest and most functional way I've found is https://github.com/0xERR0R/mailcatcher since all it does is forward the emails. You can even use a throwaway gmail SMTP so it doesn't get send to spam

Easy to set up on a rpi/cheap VPS, as long as you have a hostname. And while you're there, look for a short domain name so it's fast to type (on credit card kiosks). You can get cheap short non-standard TLD's like .li. I got a 3 character domain for $5 a year, as short as bit.ly, but just for me
I don't think newbies using it would be a problem. There is an issue with people/companies evaluating Rust and stopping when they see `unsafe` without looking much further into it.
It has the benefit of being at a general domain, icloud.com, instead of one that is (in theory) traceable to you for someone who cares enough to do so.
The fun thing about measurement physics is that you never know if your cool tool is measuring something in the universe, or if you are using something in the Universe to test and find bugs in your tool.
That's not true: "Naturally infected populations were less likely to be reinfected by SARS-CoV-2 than the infection-naïve and vaccinated individuals."

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-05325-5

There are other studies that say the same thing - natural immunity is far superior to vaccination. (But also more risky since acquiring that immunity can cause people to end up in the hospital.)

The best is both:

"Two doses of BNT162b2 vaccine were associated with high short-term protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection; this protection waned considerably after 6 months. Infection-acquired immunity boosted with vaccination remained high more than 1 year after infection." https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2118691
Starred notes is a core plugin that lets you pin searches too.

There are slightly more involved approaches as well:

I guess it's harder (although not impossble) to send email from this throwaway address, but that has never come up for me, for external accounts
For infection rates, perhaps there is a bit of a confounding factor of vaccinated people being less careful (eg unmasking) due to confidence in their vaccination status?

The deaths by vaccination status stats on that same page are pretty interesting.
I don't know if this is in the category that you're asking for but right now there is tons of experimentation with "Content centric networking" e.g. "Named data networking" to better optimise how we load content inside the web.
Instead of using an IP to connect to some server of e.g. Google to get content we just say what data we want and load it from where ever (with better prospects of caching).

A group of two is not necessarily entitled to more rights than individuals, but I don’t see why they should entitled to fewer rights. The idea that groups and associations of various forms can have the same rights as individuals has been a legal principle going back to the Middle Ages at least in the west, and even further in some other cultures. I see no good reason to change that.

It seems to me that any scheme for depriving people of the ability to exercise their rights in various contexts, for example because they are trying to do so as part of a specific group, could be subject to serious abuse.
Interestingly, a couple of the large state parks in the Northeast (Adirondack and Baxter) have arguably held the line on development more than national parks have in general. Not that there's a lot in the way of national parkland in the Northeast--although efforts are still underway in Maine in addition to the existing Acadia.
thank you, that seems to be a very useful framework to keep in mind
This. Try to find interviews with the average Chinese citizen. Things work very differently over there. Most of them are pretty happy to live in their little information bubbles in much the same way the those in the west do, though they have quite a bit less autonomy in creating said bubble
I used to do it this way too, but got overwhelmed by dictionary attacks.
Batteries are the most expensive storage alternative. They have advantages for load-leveling, but beyond a few minutes or, in smaller grids, hours, other media will turn out better. Bigger utilities will prefer pumped hydro for short-term storage, anywhere it is practical.

Synthetic chemical fuels -- hydrogen and ammonia -- are compelling for longer-term storage, despite their currently low round-trip efficiency. These can be synthesized and then shipped where needed, and may be produced continually even after local tankage is full, to be sold on as fuel, industrial feedstock, and fertilizer, generating revenue. Then, there is no downside to massive overbuilding of generating capacity: all capacity generates revenue, up to market saturation.

Places slower to build out renewables will find these new fuels much cheaper than oil and natural gas, and will easily convert to burning them.

Their round-trip efficiency will only ever increase, with continual progress in catalysis, eventually favoring fuel cells over reuse of existing turbines.
Pardon the ignorance but did you mean non-empirical? If one has empirical evidence to contradict, is that not disproving?
Freedom of speech is a principle that transcends political policies. In theory, it is a clear and unambiguous concept; in practice, governments ruin it with nearly arbitrary rules that run counter to that fundamental principle.

It may be too late to have the kind of conversations you are envisioning with young people raised in this generation. They have conjured up big words and terms that don't even mean anything in the practical sense and will easily take offense with anything or anyone about whatever values they strongly identify with.

This is the generation that needs
(and sometimes demands that) their spaces online be protected from any ideas that are divergent to those they subscribe to.
Also, these types of global modifications make such libraries fundamentally incompatible with projects such as Tauri that focuse on safety and security. In a recent video of theirs they mentioned that of the popular frameworks, the only one that didn't seem to do any dodgy modifications of the global scope was Svelte (they didn't mention which frameworks failed the test, but I imagine React was one of them).
"Most people will automatically scoff at the claim that a nuclear power plant should cost less to build than a coal plant. It is received wisdom that nuclear plants are outrageously expensive. And most recent nuclear projects confirm that belief. But why"

Because of the potential of catastrophic failure. Duh!

That and these people are not counting the discounted cost, over 200,000 years, of storing their long term waste and maintaining the site.

Nuclear power looks cheap if you completely discount the future - and you are unethical enough to make future generations pay for current consumption. (Ditto coal)
This person isn't wrong. A lot of serious Rust users don't agree with what the GP is suggesting. `unsafe` has an explicit meaning: the user must uphold some invariant or check something about the environment, otherwise it is memory unsafe.

I have several times in code review prevented people from marking safe interfaces as "unsafe" because they are "special and concerning", overloading the usage of unsafe is itself dangerous.
I don't think I've had to regularly reboot any of my access points since before I got my first draft N device in...2007?
Also, not as granular, but instead of the + suffix, add a dot in a weird place. So

n.ame@gmail.com or nam.e@gmail.com . Many SMTP servers respect periods as differentiating emails, so services can't delete them. It doesn't help you stop spam, but you can add a gmail filter that n.ame@gmail.com is put in a separate label. And it's very fast to type, easy for non tech-y people
> If there is a pulpit in the town square, then the 1st amendment says that a speaker is entitled to that pulpit.

Okay but what about when I want to use the pulpit? By your logic, if you're using the pulpit you are restricting my speech, because I can't exercise my speech while you're exercising yours. And by that token, if everyone in the town square wanted to shout you down and drown you out while you were at the pulpit, you can't really complain on the basis of free speech, right? Because any restrictions on their shouting would encroach on their free speech rights.

Apparently this is what we call "cancel culture", and the reason we're still talking about it today is that people complaining about it have no coherent ideas on how to fix it without also trampling all over the very free speech principles they are decrying have been violated.

This knot people have tied themselves into is fascinating.
What about parents with kids? Everyone stuck doing virtual school and work in tiny apartments?
But apparently it still has that problem where "if" stands in for "of" even though a trivial evaluation of the relative probability of "orders if magnitude" and "orders of magnitude" would favor the latter. Why don't these keyboards look around a bit to select the best fit?

Then you will wind up with the Chitu/Chitubox issue where everybody puts encryption chips into their stuff to lock it down.

Moving everything to the cloud wasn't just about developer convenience. It had the side benefit for companies that their software couldn't be pirated anymore.
Nice! I do something similar, but using an automatic aliasing scheme so that I don't have to manually configure an email address for each service and other users can use this without me knowing their aliases. In my setup, aliases can contain wildcards, represented as percent signs. If an alias phil.%@domain1.com is set up, all your examples will be sent to the respective aliased address. I use Postfix Admin with a MySQL database. Hence the Postfix setup looks like this:

virtual_alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_alias_maps.cf,
mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_alias_maps_wildcard.cf,
hash:/etc/postfix/virtual

The first file is just regular aliases, and is basically a simpler version of the second file (no SQL selections/filters) and could also be merged into a single query with the second file:

user = mail
password = <password>
hosts = 127.0.0.1
dbname = maildb_postfix
query = SELECT a1.goto FROM alias a1
LEFT JOIN alias a2 on (a2.address = '%s')
WHERE '%s' LIKE a1.address
AND a1.active = '1' AND a2.address IS NULL

This works, because the percent sign in the alias is picked up by the LIKE keyword. A setup like this allows me to configure many aliases through Postfix Admin's web admin page, including optional wildcard aliases (depending on which users wants that). It has been working very well for me over the past 15+ years. Also, I haven't looked at that SQL query since then and would likely write it in a nicer way today.

Note: with the above code SQL injection could be possible through an alias name, but given that in this setup I am the only one managing the mail accounts, I was willing to take this risk. :-) Postfix Admin might do some cleaning/validation, but I haven't checked on it.

I just saw a tweet from Esteban Küber[0] the other day that made me rethink a silly thing I did:

"I started learning Rust in 2015. I've been using it since 2016. I've been a compiler team member since 2017. I've been paid to write Rust code since 2018.
I have needed to use `unsafe` <5 times.
That's what why Rust's safety guarantees matter despite the existence of `unsafe`."

For me, I was being a bit lazy with loading some config on program startup that would never change, so I used a `static mut` which requires `unsafe` to access. Turns out I was able to figure out a way to pass my data around with an `Arc<T>`. I think either way would have worked, but I figured I should avoid the unsafe approach anyway.

Large underestimate is an understatement. The average fully loaded cost of these employees may be an order of magnitude higher than your guess. Jeff Dean alone probably costs Google $10m per year.
I've always wondered if maybe there should be a different keyboard layout designed specifically for swipe keyboards. Qwerty and dvorak are designed around assumptions about how you type, and to different degrees both cluster letters for some level of regular proximity to frequently-adjacent keys (with qwerty throwing some wrenches in, allegedly to prevent typewriter jams).

But with swipe you almost want the opposite, so that you rarely run into a situation where you move to a part of the keyboard where 2 or 3 nearby keys might be what you "really meant".

But I've never seen any attempt at this, and that surprises me.
