Actually China seems to be the only country where nuclear is alive and thriving. There were some hiccups for some years due to lack of experience with 3G designs, as well as US sanctions (forcing some companies to drop France's AP-1000 design and to design their own), but they have now solved those problems and are ramping up nuclear fast because they are serious about 2030 peak carbon target.

This kind of stuff really bothers me in addition to the ridiculous "meat shortage" or "save the coal miner's jobs" stuff. Let's use this as an opportunity to move past things that were popularized that don't really make that mucuh sense anymore.

Even for those who don't have celiac/gluten intolerance, gluten is high in lectins, and the molecule size is such that it can really cause damage to a lot of tissue. Wheat and dairy are extremely rough on the body and as time has gone on we've basically mutated to tolerate it.

Sorghum is a gluten free crop that's hardy and grows with less water, in addition to having a favorable nutrient profile full of antioxidants. Getting more antioxidants in the diet can really be the tipping point for those who have a genetic predisposition to autoimmune and other disorders and that's why things have gotten so bad under the crappy western diet.

Sorry if I'm just being dense here but I really don't understand why "grain shortage" or "meat shortage" are thrown around in the media as being life and death situations. There are surely grains that are more heat tolerant and we can further cultivate and select for types of healthier grains that are instead of trying to make wheat happen because "mm bread/beer". I don't eat either of those things and I suspect that communities who suffered a shortage of either of those things would also find a way to make do, potentially to their benefit by integrating more diverse foods.

I guess if at the end of the day climate change is such that nothing can grow we're screwed but then why is this article so focused on wheat in particular? If a certain crop or export just isn't making sense sustainability wise this ends up just looking like the old "buuuttt the coal miners will lose their jobs" type story.

>the US is the "first world power", and yet there is so much gun violence, those healthcare problems, homelessness, high co2 per capita, obesity, the prison system (especially in Louisiana where it's almost still slavery for inmates), money in politics, inability to get abortion...

Exactly. It's horrible here, so people should stop emigrating to the US for starters.
Different things. Netflix paid Sandler $250 million in 2014 for six Sandler originals under their studio, and renewed the deal in 2017 and 2020.

Separately, Netflix just purchased streaming rights for Uncut Gems, which Sandler didn't write, from A24.

I'm assuming it's the Sandler originals that OP is referring to.
> FaceTime calls (nothing on Android has similar quality)

Not as popular, but Google Duo can do 1080p calls since sometime in 2020 (https://www.xda-developers.com/google-duo-galaxy-s20-1080p-v...) About the same time Apple bumped Facetime up from 720p as well.

Also, we're probably a year or two away from Apple opening the iMessage in some way to Android users, or shifting significantly to RCS on their terms to avoid the EU enforcing the same.

What are people holding all those stable coins for?

In contrast to other crypto currencies, nobody is holding it for speculation. I doubt anybody expects stable coins to be a better store of "dollar value" than the dollar itself.

Yet, someone holds those $150B worth of stable coins. Who and why?
I don't need to send money to the other side of the world in a decentralized way. There's a good chance I never will and similarly 99% of people do not and never will have this problem.
"Decentralized" is the keyword.

It's not solved by real world implementations of any major blockchain.
> while BUSD and USDC have grown more.

If I am not mistaken, USDC (coinbase) is properly and regularly audited for proof-of-reserves?

Not so sure about Binance though.

But at any rate, if capital starts to migrate to audited stablecoins from POS (and by that, I don't mean proof of stake) like Tether, sounds to me like a good thing.
It’s a matter-of-fact discussion, feel free. Thank you for the cordiality.

It seems obvious though, I’m afraid you’ve misunderstood how deep this particular rabbit hole goes.

How do you know when to leave a company?
Ethereum based stablecoins are hardly the best way to do this. From a user standpoint you have to 1) buy your stablecoin on some exchange 2) transfer it to your own wallet 3) pay a hefty fee to transfer it to the recipient (>$20 when the network is busy) 4) Recipient pays another hefty fee to transfer it to an exchange so they can offramp.

If I'm sending a remittance or similar paying $$$$ in fees is absolutely not desirable. And with current gas prices the cost of sending anything less than 50k is pretty comparable with just doing a wire transfer.
I appreciate your grit. May I DM you for some guidance?
>pkg

pkg-ng is indeed a godsend, and I think I just got PTSD thinking about what Ports management was like before it. Currently getting flashbacks to the salad of utilities I used to use from ports-mgmt/.

>make

Yes, the Makefile infrastructure for both Ports/pkgsrc is clunky and slow, and the documentation is also terrible too. Took quite a bit of suffering to learn the dark art of properly authoring packages in pkgsrc.

For what it's worth, there's also the Gentoo Prefix project, but I haven't ever been able to use it because the bootstrap for it has failed every time I tried it on macOS or Linux.

At least for pkgsrc using it is as simple as:
$ git clone https://github.com/netbsd/pkgsrc --depth 1
$ cd ~/pkgsrc/bootstrap && ./bootstrap --unprivileged
$ cd ~/pkgsrc/misc/tmux && ~/pkg/bin/bmake install
$ ~/pkg/bin/tmux

As flawed and janky as pkgsrc is, it has at least worked consistently for me on macOS/Linux for years.

>compiling from source

Yeah, I agree. Compiling everything from source and using it in production is for insane people. Should have clarified that when I said "Ports/pkgsrc", I meant using official binary pacakges, and not necessarily building from source.

>latest and quarterly

The point of quarterly releases is to serve as a base for stable package versions, backported security fixes, and as a chance to fix package runtime/compilation issues before being generally available - something harder to do if you track bleeding-edge packages, where things can shift under people's feet.

It's also useful when building from source, like I do with pkgsrc for macOS, because lots of random things will break if there's too large of a rift between what's installed and what's in bleeding-edge pkgsrc. In these cases, you'd usually have to do mass rebuilds, and/or deal with dependency hell (eg, pkg X you have installed needs need <=libsomething-1336, but pkg Y in pkgsrc needs >=libsomething-1337).

I use the packages installed via pkgsrc pretty much daily on my MacBook, and it'd be really annoying having things possibly breaking after an update just a week apart, especially if I'm in a rush and need to get something done for work. So using a quarterly branch is useful, since it's a cadence I can stomach, and there's a higher likelihood that the devs had more time to polish the packages in that release.

>Fink

Never heard of this before. I'll give it a gander sometime soon.
Anything that applies to these games, there are video games that do it better.

Imperfect information games - StarCraft is a great example.

Working well with team mates, sometimes really toxic ones, to achieve victory - Dota and LoL are good examples.

Long collaboration - Minecraft, Factorio.

Yeah we had to play chess for centuries when that’s all was available. We have better options now.
Easier to trade, no issues with tax&bank issues, and a lot of crypto exchanges charge to convert from crypto -> cash, whereas crypto -> crypto(stablecoin) is usually just exchange fees, less than the USD charge.
> I guess there are different people watching content.

and the different groups have different sizes. Your tastes, unfortunately, belongs to the smaller of those groups, so content-wise, disney's franchised content won't appeal to you. But they do appeal to a very large group. And this large group is where the profits lie, and why netflix is not competing well in. It's the wrong game to be playing for netflix.
> I don't get all the bandwagon hate of crypto on this site.. Sure 99% of crypto schemes are b.s and ponzi.

To me, it’s strange that you can agree that most cryptos are scams but don’t understand why there is so much hate for them.
>Where are those SPAs everybody is talking about?

I can't speak for others but my company (of 50k) has dozens of internal facing SPAs each with their own dev teams. Each of these apps are used by at least hundreds of not thousands of people on a weekly basis.
Centralised mechanisms solve the problem for less cost
> Who and why?

IIUC:

a) exchanges for short-term liquidity

b) traders for whom going in and out of actual USD is a giant PITN

Or to put it differently: when you want to trade on e.g. Binance, it's a lot easier to trade in and out of Binance's stablecoin than in an out of actual USD.
The moment I learned that people want to buy crypto as a means to get rich in (evil ;)) fiat money, I knew I had a ponzi scheme in front of me.

The interesting idea behind crypto once was to have a totally different system.

Yet in reality, with greedy apes on a spacerock, it was an unreachable Utopia
If it's due to anticipation and violated expectations, how come the same song can still give you goosebumps even after you know it very well?
Provided you trust the stablecoin, it's a lot safer to keep e.g. USDC in a wallet you control rather than hold USD fiat balance on an exchange or some other shady crypto service.
The common knowledge says there is enough food produced for everyone to not go hungry... but people want more than to not go hungry and they want it to be efficient for their life not for the food production/consumption ratio

The global wealthy can afford convenience and excess while the global poor can't afford basic needs. As such "it's just in the wrong place, so it's cheaper to throw away" is a desired outcome for the wealthy not a problem triggering inefficiency. It's also best to not equate food usage efficiency to general efficiency as a lot of the excess is the result of more food being cheaper than efficiently consuming less food. E.g. growing 100 apples to have 100 actually consumed apples takes a lot of effort to make happen. You have to make sure none go bad in transport, all are immediately sold at the store, and that people heavily plan out their lives around eating every apple they buy before it goes bad. It's just more efficient as a whole to make more apples even if that makes food efficiency look worse.

Carrying that forward whether or not there is a "global shortage" (taken to mean not enough produced for everyone to not go hungry) is irrelevant. People are already going hungry today so "enough that everyone can be fed" can't be the controller of why the wealthy can afford excess. The ability comes from their production and purchasing power compared to the world not the overall averages of the world.

Of course simple economics still exists and less of the good will result in a raise of price, the question of course being how much not working from decreased consumptions backwards. That raise in price is only proportional to how much is needed to lower global consumption. It's not a guarantee the wealthy will notice enough of an impact to no longer be able to afford excess. In reality the poor that were already short on food will see a bigger decrease in consumption than the wealthy due to price increases. A 10% price increase in food is only inconvenient for most in wealthy countries but in poor countries many have no choice but to consume less food as they have no more money to spend on it.

If I had to guess this shortage won't be near enough for production to be less than ideal distribution coveraging hunger. That said it'll still affect prices, just probably not enough for wealthy countries decreases in excess to have a meaningful impact on the overall supply.
Depends. How well do you understand the internet? I know nothing about how networking works, yet I use it everyday. In 20 years, we'll all probably be making blockchain transactions on a daily basis, either directly or indirectly. Just like I'm creating packets, and I don't really know what that means I just hear networking people say it.

Not universally true though, and in some countries (like e.g. Germany) it's a really bad idea to torrent without a seedbox or vpn in another country.
Getting a little stoned and either turning on my audio synth stack or getting into unity 3D or bridging the two and fiddling with no goal until I find a groove and flow state and dig into turning different knobs and buttons and making sounds and images fold on themselves for hours until I'm in kind of a fugue state all the while bouncing audio and/or binary builds because even if I save the project well (which I do) I'll likely never be able to get the same output from the machines again because I don't know how I got to where I get to.

This hobby has it's seeds in creative habits I've had for most of my adult life but in the last six years or so I started to realize that it was the thing I enjoyed the most and it was really beneficial to my mental health and well being so I started making the efforts more deliberate and investing in gear and infrastructure to get closer to the dreams that have been in my head forever.

In a few weeks I have some long time collaborators flying in for a week long thing where the fruits of that effort are going to be explored hooking the 3D space to the musical stuff with some depth scanners, projectors, and fancy HD cameras and also two giant FANUC industrial robots controlled by the software stack and synths in tandem.

Follow your dreams kids! You too can make art that likely no one will care about but you and it will be awesome the whole time! It will be expensive and you'll never recoup the money spent... but if people don't look at you like you're a raving psycho when you tell them about your dreams, you probably have some room to have your dreams be more ridiculous. Also, it beats the heck out of remembering that people want me to build them web applications and my chosen profession is mostly a joke.

I had something similar happen in Logseq when I stored my main directory in Sync, which is similar to Dropbox. After moving my main directory out of Sync, everything became stable again. Perhaps Dropbox was the root cause of the problem.

I've recently used trunk for the first time. It is a huge improvement to the current way of building a Rust wasm app. For one of my apps that doesn't use trunk, I'm maintaining these two scripts to set up a system and to compile a wasm bundle:

- https://github.com/terhechte/postsack/blob/main/postsack-web...
- https://github.com/terhechte/postsack/blob/main/postsack-web...

Trunk allows me to remove these scripts and offers live reloading of changes in my Rust code. It is a great experience. I know that there're similar tools for React etc, but I'm not aware of another tool that works this well with Rust.
And somebody not using React but rather re-implementing everything to achieve their equivalent complexity usecase brings in X, Y and Z a well...
I'm guessing the scorn is a reaction to the religious fervor that permeates the crypto space and that bleeds into the "mainstream" like the front page of HN and parts of Twitter. Based off the explosion of "told ya so" articles that have followed the Terra/UST scandal and sentiment among friends, anyway.

On the other hand, having lived in Mexico for almost a decade now, these explanations tend to merely be nothing but the unholy combo of pedantry + incorrect, with a big component that smells a lot like "I just traveled to exotic lands and I will tell you how those people eat" or "I had a taco during my layover in <some Mexican city> and can tell you what all tacos are".

Because the reality is that you can find tacos and food items of many variations in Mexico (or wherever) that the people there will call a taco, and they'll do it without any of the sort of snobbery you find in these comments.

Like, tacos are a single ingredient food item? Then why can I find people slopping on any number of side items down the street in Guadalajara? And it's still labeled a taco? They really need to read HN and become illuminated. They're wrong.

Frankly, the idea that Mexican cuisine (or whichever cuisine) was frozen in some snapshot back in history—and anything they do eat since then is "incorrect"—does more to erase reality than pointing out that maybe the cuisine is much more varied than someone on HN thinks.

And all of this is said before even getting into regional variations like what happens to cuisines once they cross borders into different cultures. Americans eat hard-shell tacos? It's a lot more interesting to me to explore why that is than to roll our eyes at how people are ugh doing it wrong. Maybe artifacts of one culture changing when they enter other cultures is the beauty of culture rather something that needs to be corrected.
They do, in the Netherlands and Switzerland; but only Switzerland permits this for foreigners. I'm not aware of other European countries.
I hate crypto as much as the average HNer, but "I don't need it so therefore nobody does" is a stupid and short-sighted reply.

There are at least a dozen countries that I can think of that have massive restrictions on how many flows in and out of the country, preventing people from being able to keep their money safe from raging dictators or changing rulers.

It's a lot more than 1%.
So the previous poster talked about how nuclear is so much more space efficient and the first picture I see on your waste page is a large field of temporary dry cask storage. So what is the size of the facility (including safety zones), is there a no fly zone around it and if yes how large is it?
USDC and DAI are both collateralized and doing fine at the moment and can operate as a decentralized currency and payment rail.

It is never 100% risk free, though. The best way to maintain peg to dollar is just to hold the dollar. Many stablecoin holders are taking on this higher risk as they seek yield in protocols like Aave and dYdX, or to have ready liquidity to deploy this in the crypto investment market.
All those people using k8s don't include any of my customers. Current projects are Django sites running on VMs, Rails sites on a kind of Heroku service and a Phoenix app running on VMs plus some Elixir services running on Google Cloud serverless services.

Actually the latter is a candidate to k8s because the team knows less and less of server management. I think they are going to replace complexity with complexity for something that fits well in a small VM. We will see.
The big question with Tether has been, if they are holding commercial paper, whose commercial paper? Traders who deal in commercial paper of real companies that do real stuff don't see Tether present in that market. The dollar amounts are too big to hide. The suspicion is that their "commercial paper" is high-interest loans to other cryptocurrency companies. With the whole crypto sector in decline, those loans are at risk.

This is how you get a 2008-type crash - loans which seem to be unrelated but are tied to a common market.

About 11% of Tether has been cashed out in the last month.

The real problem for Tether is simple. Why would anyone buy Tether at this point? There's zero upside potential, after all. And the competition, USDC and GUSD, looks better backed. So a steady outflow is to be expected. We're going to find out how strong their backing is.

Watch out for heavily promoted Tether-based "staking" schemes designed to prevent cash-out.
