> Restarting nuclear isn't a bad idea, but it needs to be approached systematically and cautiously such that the risks from natural disasters and economic impacts are minimized, while also weighing the risks of continuing to support Russia.

smells like $$$ and more delays. nuclear is already by far the safest method of power production, and emits far fewer radionuclides than coal, and those numbers are the old generation more dangerous pressurized water reactors.

As long as you rely on the fallacy that nuclear is cheap to operate any initial costs can be handwaved away. Today renewables are cheaper than the marginal cost of nuclear, steam turbines and all machinery around them is simply that complex. They are a relic of an bygone era which tech enthusiasts for some reason continue clinging to as the magical solution to all our energy needs. Even in the face of reality.

A dollar spent on nuclear is a dollar that could have much more effect invested in renewables instead.

The analysis I saw noted that their air defense only had a 180-degree range. So a drone could be used to distract their defense, get it pointed away from the Neptune launcher, then fire from the ship's blind spot.
Do you believe that's because there are established links between mental illness and belief in conspiracy theories, and many such conspiracies are irrational, or because it's all a campaign by the CIA to discredit truth-seekers who threaten the establishment order?

It seems like we could have both; people can generate worlds by some combination of automation and manually tweaking parameters or mods, then they can share that world with their friends, and visit worlds created by their friends. Some people may have esoteric taste, but the internet is good for finding people who share your esoteric taste, for better and for worse.
When the Soviets took Berlin, they grabbed the dental assistants who worked on Adolf and Eva Hitler.

They were able to come construct the dental work done on Adolf.

Eva had a rubber bridge put it. That was much more helpful in identifying the bodies than any of the actual work on teeth.

Adolf had X-rays taken of his teeth. I’m not sure if they survived the war, my off the shelf books focus on Eva, as her bridge was the “aha!”

But Soviet intelligence spent great effort trying to hunt down the dental records of the Hitler and Goebbels families.

It also makes it impossible for Open Source projects to use and depend on. This isn't a companies-vs-people thing; people and projects who care about their users should not go "meh, whatever" about software licensing.
> The other difference is that you also have to type the full repository name, including the organization name.

No, you don't have to type it, and I doubt anyone types it. You copy that line and paste it. Often it's done on autopilot, especially when in a rush.
Nuking Kyiv would probably kill more Russians and Belarusians than Ukrainians from the fallout.
Sure, the author should be responsible.

Yes, GitHub should have a better UX around this action.

But...

There is another thing to consider:

Is it really necessary that a repo that is accidentally made private and then made public should lose its stars anyway?

Is that really what the repo owner or the people who starred the repo even want to happen?

> The real thing is that Germany has NS and NS2 and so they're happy to just guzzle gas.

NS2 is dead. They stopped certification, dismissed all employes and it's sanctioned by Germany/EU and the U.S.

I think what a lot of people don't realize is that Germany just had a major political shift after the election last year. The new government now has to work around the failures of the last 16 years, in which nothing really got done. It really is a rock and a hard place. Stop all Russian imports and kill the economy, or try to find other sources (LNG from Qatar) and switch as fast as possible. Both options are bad, and the minister is also not happy but has to make it work somehow.
>The president calling Ukraine a genocide is inventing a new definition for the term.

How many more bodies do the mass graves need to qualify as genocide?
This isn't "exactly" what Github does. The author suggests the number of machines to destroy in their example- a Github equivalent would be to use a number that represents the amount of resources to be destroyed. This is close to what the OP recommended.
> If a "type your repository name to confirm" box still doesn't make you double check that you picked the right repository, what else can they even do?

It makes you type user/repo, which is different in a serious way. It's easy for the difference between ".github" and "httpie" to set off alarm bells. But the difference between "httpie/.github" and "httpie/httpie" can slip through.

> "It's their fault, they only showed 5 warning banners. A 6th one would have totally stopped me from doing this."

The request is for the warning to say how much will be deleted, not to add another step.
Yes? The quality of products is millions of times higher than in the streets.

Everything gets continually tested by a lot of people. Entire forums dedicated to weed out bad sellers and identity good products ..

Yeah, sellers are usually super responsive and will normally fix any issue if you are polite and abide by the rules.

Ummm what exactly do you do if you are scammed in real life? Go to the police and file a complaint that will never go anywhere? Lol

Or you mean if in the real world you get scammed by a company? Can YOU really start a lawsuit? What amount of money are we talking about? 10k,100k, 1m?
Do people use GitHub stars for something? Sometimes I star things but I have no idea what it does or why I do it.
Germany - the only country that still makes things in Europe really - is making decisions to jeopardise its industry and place in the world. It will surely end up as a basket case country if it carries on like this!

The GP didn’t mean “wait 5 minutes before making any action”, they meant “stage the change so the user can see the result of their action but they still has a grace period to undo it”.
That's an interesting question. I have been thinking about how social media might be run in a way that allows for such filtering, but without a centralized filtering authority.

Maybe you could rate actors. And you could also refer to actors' ratings of other actors. Weighted by the rating of the actor.

No doubt it's been done. But maybe something like that.

I do miss Steve Jobs, or mainly, his leadership style in tech. Every year with SJ was full of surprises and delightful visions coming true. In a way, people in the late 90s and early 2000s experienced the peak of the tech landscape. The smartphones revolution was just one of the visions that came true in that era.

In a way, Musk is like SJ, but greedier and cockier. SJ was about products centered around humans. Musk is about humans centered around technologies.

IDK, that sounds like more participation (in speaking and listening) than I'd expect out of a literal public square, although not by a whole lot.

I remember coming across street preachers on the Santa Monica promenade. I want to say 10-20 people would stop to listen, where 1-2 people would be speaking (preacher and a possible commenter). I don't even know how to estimate how many people simply walked by, but the audience being less than 20% of that sounds very likely.

TL;DR Anecdotal experience in one actual public square, estimates less than 20% of the physically present public participating, and less than 10% of that speaking.
Yeah that's exactly why they do it, so you can't sort by actual price.
Moving the goalposts doesn’t actually solve this issue.

If you can’t conceive of a situation that having a nuclear power plant inside your country is dangerous you simply don’t know enough about them. Sabotage of a spent fuel cooling pond could get really nasty. It’s not the kind of risk anyone is taking that seriously for reasons I agree with, but it’s definitely possible.
it not being interesting to you doesn't mean it isn't incredibly important to them. The fact that it is incredibly important to them is obvious, and the "cognitive load" you're talking about is completely trivial. If you're not willing to take even the tiniest effort to make the people around you feel welcome, you may be the one being narcissistic.
There's definitely a whole lot more than listed - easily 10x.

What I read in this article is that German government did a thorough analysis, but the author dismisses the conclusions of it because the tolerated risk level there is too low and because it’s done by a minister from the Greens party.

If this was written by an expert, that could make some sense, but it is not. Nuclear plant is not a startup, where you can just skip the QA part to release faster or put a not working cookie banner for few months, because nobody really checks compliance. You have to conduct safety tests, there should be enough staff and replacement parts, fuel supply must be secured, waste disposal must be planned in advance. Calling to accept risks of not doing this properly is not exactly what German public supports. The polls are tricky thing to do. If you ask certain questions you will get whatever results you want. I’m sure it was not explained to the public in the poll that they will have to accept higher risks of nuclear disaster if reactors will be allowed to operate. Everyone thinks that it is as safe as it was in the past - no wonder majority would support it to help Ukraine.

The thing is, this majority also includes supporters of Greens and the party itself is not the same as it was in 80s. Greens are no longer unconditional pacifists and anti-nuclear hippies. They are the biggest supporters of sending heavy weapons to Ukraine now. They would extend nuclear if possible, because it advances the more important agenda of reducing emissions and helps Ukraine. They were ready to wait 20 years to phase out nuclear in 2000s, and it wasn’t Greens who accelerated shutdown after Fukushima. It was pro-business CDU with Merkel as a head of the government. This is why I would rather trust Habeck with his report than some random guy from the Internet with a political message.
OK...

I don't anyone would find your squishy confidence it's worth 50% more than current value any more credible than shorters who think it's worth 50% less. Both seem like fringe opinions without much foundation.

Also rationed gas, electricity only a few hours a day for retail customers, and others. Lots of basically free measures indeed, we don’t need no nuclear.

Turkey’s closed the Bosporus to military ships under the terms of the 1936 Montreux Convention. It’s not as if any Russian ships could even get into the Mediterranean anyway.
Shutting down the current reactors has been planned for a while, and that is simply not a decision that is trivial to reverse. You can disagree with that initial decision, but this does have significant effects and if you are in the process of shutting down everything it does get much more complicated to suddenly reverse course.

The article seems rather dismissive towards many real problems like availability of nuclear fuel and personnel. The report also clearly states that due to the lack of fuel the nuclear power plants would only be able to supply additional power in late 2023. And it does not mention at all one of the conclusions in the report, that if it comes to a situation where the gas supply from Russia is shut off Germany would compensate with coal power plants.

I went to school in Austria in the 80s/90s. The anti-nuclear stance was a big part of education (I assume similar to Germany). We had to read stories like Die Wolke (The Cloud) and were terrified and somehow traumatized in a young age. We discussed this stuff for hours. Also a final deposit site was planned in the mountains in my area, so after Chernobyl there was a big activism against it - thousands of people connecting the mountain peaks in a long human chain (Menschenkette). The site was abandoned.

I do not want to take sides, for our prosperity as humans I tend to agree that nuclear may be a big part of the solution. On the other hand realistically almost no area is safe from disaster (naturally, politically). Risk management is key here, you can not assume that everything works out as planned.

and how do you propose to identify and eliminate that small minority exactly?

Near as I can tell, every system creates a small minority that drives it, and near as I can tell it’s a fundamental requirement of all human organizational systems for them to be effective.

The scale we are at, everything happens through systems of some kind.

The small number of folks involved are either de jure (by rule) or de facto (in fact) the ones who make the actual decisions required for the organization to respond, move forward, act.

If this is true, then ‘the small number of people organizing the social chaos’ are fundamental to the entire system. Removing them may change things for a time, but not for very long, and may (often if you look at the historic of revolutions) replace them with even worse.

I don’t think it’s depressing, any more than recognizing that zebras get eaten by leopards.

Not recognizing or avoiding it just leads to further chaos and damage. It would not help anyone (including zebras or leopards) to put guards out on the Serengeti to ‘enforce the peace’ for instance. At least not for very long.
Musk wouldn’t do such a blunder launching it. Truth Social with a sizeable war chest, took Mastadon (while [still] lying about it) with many months if not over a year to get it ready.

Being able to launch a product with more than enough resources is almost intertwined with drawing in users. Truth Social never had the bare minimum expectations. Something that is not given to most people since most aren’t abnormally focused on grifting and so on for such a big venture.
Nexus Mutual offers insurance against smart contract hacks, coin depegs, custodial provider withdrawal issues, etc, and they've been operating fine for several years. The one advantage I really appreciate is the transparency it enables over the decision making process.

There's no reason this couldn't be expanded for other use cases, including home, car, etc. It really isn't limited to just smart contract data as you suggested.

On the warships I've been on, there were only a few well trained fire fighters, and the rest were poorly trained on the job. I doubt if I would have been a very useful member of the damage control team had something happened.

Galley fires could happen anytime. During times of war, guns are being loaded, missile systems are turned on and tested to ensure they are ready. Somebody could easily screw up and cause a major fire. If missiles were fired by the Moskva, then a dud could have caused a fire, and so on.

I'm not claiming this is likely in this case, but it does happen.

That’s not completely accurate.

Nuclear is less safe than grid solar, it slightly beats rooftop solar because standing on roofs is dangerous and most solar installs are new.

Hydroelectric vs nuclear is tricky because large dams save lives and by reducing flooding etc, and installing hydroelectric when building a dam is much safer than building the dam in the first place. Which makes calculating the deaths from hydroelectric power tricky. Low head dams on the other hand are dangerous, but are largely abandoned technology.
I remember I used to go to this old railroad bridge and hang out and fish, there were signs of life there, bb gun marks on the metal, graffiti, beer bottles. I wasn't the only one spending time in this space.

It made me think about how we think of infrastructure as animals. When we think of a road, we think of it in much the same way we think of a forest or a river. It's just there, a permanent part of the landscape. But these things must be maintained, and all of it will be ruins one day. Every single thing we have built will lose it's purpose, and eventually it's form. And in much the same way you see things like wasps and pigeons moving into unused structures, humans will do the same in our own human way.
In some cases, everyone just kind of hopes the problem goes away.

Ninjam is very cool and mature software with a nice community. However, not everyone can get used to the idea of playing one bar behind everybody else. While it can provide almost no-latency experience, some people just can't wrap their head around it. And, of course, it prevents rhythmic development and severely limits freedom of improvisation. For static beats and repetitive harmony it works great, though.

If you'd like to try jamming completely simultaneously, try Jamulus (federated client-server architecture) or Sonobus (p2p). Both are free software and work very well, at least as well as physics allow. In-city jams are hindrance-free, close cities and even close countries are usually painless, as long as everyone's on Ethernet, of course.
