I'm not sure which is worse. The problem with Chrome is that Google isn't content with the web being a document platform. They want it to be this all-encompassing OS-like amalgamation of worst technologies possible that's never complete. This endless feature creep with WebUSB, WebMIDI, WebBluetooth, WebNFC... No, it's not "cool" that I'm for some reason able to install a beta version of Android on my phone using a macro in a hypertext document.

In the IE era, if you wanted a "web application", you simply used Flash. There was a clear separation between the document and the application. It was nice. I miss it.
lol thanks for the broken down version. I was saying the exact same thing but too lazy to break it out into all the rates. Seems like the dumbed down version is "what is the rate vs other equivalent autopilots" and "what is the rate vs your average fleshbag"

Why are industrial Pis so expensive?
That's what you should be doing because the government should be extracting taxes on the exchange of fiat for for assets and then back to fiat. That's how things already work in fact. People are just angry that other people find value in e.g. Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos when they otherwise don't and want to tax away their entire existence because justice. The alleged problem is those people still have billions even after paying taxes on the acquisition of assets. I'm all for fixing tax loopholes so people can't hide money and avoid existing taxes. How about starting there and actually taxing the tangible before trying to tax the intangible? Companies can and in fact are supposed to grow in value. If the company you own becomes super valuable, you win. If we are unhappy how valuable some companies can become, then you need to cap that and actually break the companies up or progressively more heavily tax profits (which are tangible) such that the company can only become so valuable to investors/owners after which it ceases to provide any additional value because it makes too much money. But since everyone hates Bezos while happily paying for their yearly prime membership, that won't happen. And indeed, Amazon doesn't make incredible amounts of money, it's just ubiquitous and provides a lot of utility which is what makes it valuable. Bezos fought investors for years and years pushing his narrative and strategy of minimizing short term profits to build a company that people literally can't live without and it worked. Crazy. Maybe the government should just buy Amazon...
There are like more than 10,000 unused licenses right now. And drilling licenses are still being issued.

Which is kinda beside the point because it’s refinement that’s the biggest issue right now.

That's why I prefer using Yubikeys (using this setup: https://github.com/drduh/YubiKey-Guide) — and this method times out immediately (just press esc when the "insert card" dialog comes up).

Plus you can have multiple keys. Plus you can use them for gpg and ssh. Plus you can back them up. Plus you can print them on paper.
I could do that, but it's a hassle compared to just waving your phone at a terminal. Cash is increasingly an inconvenience.
In addition to terrible compensation, I think another common issue for a post-doc is that they are not afforded the same protections as a graduate student. In the places I have worked the grad students are usually protected by the university, their committees, etc.

Post-docs on the other hand are usually contract workers and they can be fired without any recourse. Usually with two to four weeks compensation. It gives their bosses tremendous power. I know post-docs who have been fired for questioning a PI or a paper they are part of. This can be devastating for a post-doc and their future career. They may have toiled years on a project and can have it taken away on a dime.
What about the average reasonably computer savvy person?

Also "don't worry about it" or "there's nothing you can do for now" is an answer.
The key for the lower/middle class is to stop acquiring more debt during inflationary times. Those with fixed loans should keep paying them but not acquire more at higher rates; those with credit card balances are already @#$^$@ as the rates are as high as the usury laws will allow.

IF you do this, you can pay back debt with tomorrow dollars that were earned easier.
Regulations are a nightmare for good reasons. Nuclear power is safe because regulations are a nightmare. Yes, we could build Chernobyl-like power plants with soviet-like regulations, that are cheap. That leads sooner or later to Chernobyl-like accidents.

If nuclear power depends on lowering the safety regulations to be economically viable, it is not economically viable, at least for now.

Take for example the infamous Flamanville third reactor: it could be opened by 2014, but "nightmare" regulations detected flawed components. A year later, regulations detected faults in cooling valves. Three years later, the secondary cooling systen didn't meet regulations. A year later, a failure in steam pipes delayed more the opening, literally more than 100 defective welds. All of the delays combined more than tripled the costs, but to me they sound valid requirements.

Other than the legal and financial ramifications, it’s not significantly different than any other breakup of a relationship due to poor fit. Don’t read into it too much.
France has over fifty nuclear plants, most of them older than 40 years. You probably want to replace most of them in the next twenty years or so. Since building one can easily take a decade or two from planning to power output, you would want to have a couple of dozen in the planning stage right now if you expect to continue producing the same amount of power. Since only about a third of France's primary power consumption is satisfied by nuclear, realistically they'd need to drastically increase the number of reactors in the next decades to reach climate goals.
Happily married man here. I go to dinner one on one with my guy friends. That doesn't mean taking my wife out to dinner is not a date? Doing 'dating' things with friends is totally normal. It's a 'date' when you're doing it with someone you might marry.
I mean, it wasn't that subtle, but yeah, subtle enough just for distraction.

I don't know how the situation is in the USA, but in Brazil we have the myth of mothers having 10 children just to get more money for each child.
> However, much of this proposed capacity will not ultimately be built. Among a subset of queues for which data are available, only 23% of the projects seeking connection from 2000 to 2016 have subsequently been built. Completion percentages appear to be declining, and are even lower for wind and solar than other resources.
I've just tested this, and it works fine. It asks for my password like normal from an ssh session, while still using touch id locally.
Coming from the more well-off side, it makes friendships with people on the other side harder as well. By chance a good chunk of my social circle in college was less well off than me, and while we liked playing games together I got weird looks for buying shirts new at Macy's or Michelin tires. It just seemed to rub them the wrong way, like they thought I was trying to show off or rub something in their face even though I'm just upper-middle-class and buying what I saw as the best product for what I needed. It's not like I was showing up in a new Lexus or something. Some of them also expected me to drive them everywhere even though they had working cars of their own, and that got rather toxic after a while.

Some of those economical problems are burdened on the nuclear industry because of political problems.

For example, because everyone is terrified of nuclear, regulations may require an absurd level of safety expenses that no other energy producer is burdened with. If the political climate lead to burdening fossil fuel burners with costs to reduce their pollution and GHG emissions that directly and indirectly lead to orders of magnitude more deaths than nuclear ever has, then nuclear might actually be price competitive.

As another example, since the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in the US started in 1975, they have never, not once, approved the construction of a new nuclear site in the US. They've approved expansion of existing sites, but never a new one. In fact, it was a huge deal when the NRC approved the expansion of a site several years ago, for the first time in 30 years, https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-nuclear-license/nrc-a...

How much pain and death is the NRC ultimately responsible for for holding nuclear energy to such a high safety standard that it's been literally impossible to build a new site for almost 50 years? Because all that means, is that we've burned drastically more fossil fuel than necessary over the past 50 years.

Shame on the NRC and the US government for using irrational fear to protect the fossil fuel industry at the expense of nuclear energy. And shame on environmentalists for falling for the same trap and failing to think holistically and systemically.

There is some truth to this statement. You could be "dating," but you are not about to pick someone and go to a restaurant or movie alone.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_of_electricity_by_sourc...
Depends. With just the cost per kWh is photovoltaic cheaper, but you would need additional storage for the nighttime, so it would become more expensive than nuclear. Also this didn’t account for winter time (in Germany photovoltaic make 5-10% compared to summer) and storing a half year worth of energy is going to be funny.(this will cost way way more than nuclear) A nuclear power plant could run 24/7 the whole year.

The Republicans don't want to do anything, even though it is their own constituents who are suffering.

The Democrats somehow think they are channeling FDR by giving out a few billion dollars in a lottery, again and again and again. They don't seem to understand how it looks to people who see the spending but still have slow internet.

You solve a problem like not by setting a $X billion budget arbitrary but by planning to get it done, setting a budget appropriate to the scale, and getting it done.

Another phrase that hurts is "technology agnostic". There is nothing agnostic about it at all, it is really advocating fixed wireless and DSL, technologies that aren't adequate to the task. DSL is a great technology for a place like Singapore or South Korea but rural areas in the US need the long range of optic fiber. It shows how far we've fallen that at one point we ran electric wires and telephone wires to people's houses but today we can't run a simple strand of fiber.

Given that decent ARM cores are unpurchasable on SBC, and given the abundance of cellphones, this makes hella sense.

totally doable today. not holding my breath but usb4 also includes direct system-to-system connectivity, so these would be Just a Bunch Of Nodes with 40gbit connectivity each. plus the high efficiency & battery backups they already have today.
Not surprising. Software development has advanced, yet every day somewhere some piece of software crashes.
I feel like you might not be that familiar with r/AskHistorians? It is the least reddit-like part of Reddit, it has extremely high standards and is rigorously moderated. Here are the most notable critical threads on Guns, Germs and Steel[1]. Just because Why The West Rules For Now might seem to be preferred by them doesn't necessarily speak to its reputation, seeing as GGS apparently sets such a low bar.

I don't see any problems with Ian Morris' article here. He is a writer, as well as an academic. The audience for the article seems to be for well-informed, non-specialised intellectuals. As such the article seems well pitched.

I know the first line is sad. I am trying to find a healthier way to view the situation.

A lot of my best friends are women. Recently I went through a major accomplishment. I had five women friends text me to congratulate me.

I feel that I dress well, and I am a physically fit marathon-running, motorcycle-riding, outdoorsman. Social awkwardness yes but I think it comes across as being sincere.

This is my unhealthy mindset talking (perhaps) but it isn't necessarily low ego, it's just life, pop culture, etc does not align with the values I was taught as a child, growing up in a conservative religious home.
There are multiple electricity providers in the UK currently that have "EV tariffs" where they give you substantially discounted overnight/off-peak rates in exchange for a slightly higher daytime rate in order to encourage overnight charging. Often up to a maximum specified number of KWh per cycle.

In previous times they used to offer a tariff called economy 7 which worked in conjunction with so-called storage heaters. They would charge during off-peak times and provide heat during more active hours. (disclaimer, I've never lived in a property on such a scheme but definitely saw a few in my student days)
If assume (please correct me if I'm wrong) by "conventional document format" you mean ones that do not play well with version control software like git (eg. because they may be/contain huge binary blobs), yes?

If so, at least in the projects I am involved in, all documentation that is checked into the repos remains in markdown (asciidoc is also used alot), and is only converted to non-plaintext formats for the purposes of release.

This is similar to how we build executables from our source code, but don't check in the resulting binary files into the repo.
> The amount of proposed solar and wind and battery projects in the United States at the end of 2021 was 1000s of time larger than the amount of proposed nuclear power projects.

Your article links to capacity not effective production when customer needs it. The issue with electricity production resides in being able to reliably produce electricity when customer needs it, not when planet aligns for [insert preferred electricity production method].

It's great to say "I can produce 100Gw of green electricity", but if I ask you "Give me 30GW now" and you tell me "Best I can do now is 5GW, there are clouds in the sky", I'll kindly ask you to shut up about your "100GW capacity".

As the recent price hikes in Europe have shown, the prices paid by customers is dictated by the cost of the most expensive megawatts. Solar and wind have not suddenly become pricier, but gas has. And as a consequence, prices paid by customers have increased proportionally.

Batteries might seem like a good answer, but basic physics shows us that it is not remotely doable on a large scale, if we want to guarantee reliable supply. The energy density simply isn't there.
The research fields that seem require people to do many years of postdoc education also seem to be among the worst paying in industry.
This why we would use rates per company vs absolute numbers. Takes most of the speculation out.
"Usually" is the keyword.
Well, the modern version of this is very granular difficulty sliders.

In the name of accessibility, a lot of recent games allow you to customize the hell out of your gameplay experience — things like “how hard do enemies hit?”, “how easily can I find ammo?”, even “how hard is it to make jumps?”, and so on.

At least in the US, there is a general decline in participation in social organizations. People don’t go to church picnics anymore, but many don’t really go to anything else either. And in recent years we have discouraged approaching people in the workplace. I think that’s the correct thing to do, because work should be kept separate from personal life. But that also leaves fewer ways for people to meet each other in a social setting, especially folks who don’t go to college or grad school.

Over 95% of marriages where I’m from are arranged. It’s not a perfect system, but has a number of advantages. Family in my opinion is a lot more rational about a young person’s strengths and weaknesses on the relationship market than the young people themselves. They have experience in what’s more important in a relationship or less. Some of my cousins have had arranged marriages in the US and Canada and they’ve been great matches.

American culture lacks words to describe love because we don't understand it, and have rejected the western patrimony.

America is obsessed with eros and increasingly disinterested in filial love and utterly uninterested in agape love. It leads to an incredibly unbalanced society. Healthy societies ignore erotic love as a fleeting feeling and instead focus on filial love, which is buildable and intentional.
It could have been done in a couple paragraphs and charts/tables with informative "rates of..." but they have to mix it in with a ton of fluff. Modern journalists always have to interject their "take" rather than just make a statement and show some data to support it.

I'm not assuming, I'm responding to a comment which defines a set of proposals, and that set of proposals does not include rent control.

I can't really respond to your proposal of rent control, because it has no detail on how that would work (How would a newly build apartment building come up with rents that factor in their costs but not the 10% tax? Does any newly built apartment building just have to lose money every month?).

But anyway, rent control is bad because it constrains supply of available units. That's been discussed on HN more times than I can count, so no point in rehashing it here.
> Workers can very quickly jump to whoever is paying the inflation-adjusted wages

And yet wages aren't rising with inflation, so there must be a bit more to the story than that.
Ah, so it's just that the OP wrote something that was prone to be misparsed.

I read "breadbasket home" as a compound noun and guessed it was some kind of food bank or something, but "home" was really an adverb modifying took. So what was meant was something like "My grandma ... always took [home] the bread from a [restaurant] breadbasket..."
France is not using their reactors economically. They have been told multiple times by the EU that the reserves that operators have to provide for decommissioning of plants are much too low. So this means that the government/the taxpayers have to foot the bill. And we have not even talk about long term storage cost which are typically never taken into account.

So yes it is a political decision, France is willing to highly subsidise their nuclear industry.
Not at all - you can drive with a lead foot on an EV and still be better off than gas by miles.
Eh, instead of poking holes in so called "man-o-sphere" logic, you just reject it outright as a matter of principle. Why would anyone reject logic, especially if it makes sense?

Unfortunately, this kind of logic and thinking has already entered mainstream internet consciousness via memes and such, and the only way to address it is to face it head on.

And if you can't then what does it mean?

All major browsers have a dead-simple import tool, and they even asks you if you want to do it the first time you open them.
If one is desperate, there is also the option of the classic Webview control in Visual Studio (or even the old VB6 version) which with little bit of UI added around it, can substitute for the real IE for certain enterprise legacy webapps.

A bit more effort, can also lock the control to only browse to the intended web service, and launch the default browser for any external links.

There's kind of a market for this type of solution in the legacy enterprise app space I think.
Google, Apple, and Amazon Stifle Innovation When They Favor Their Own Products
We're visual creatures. Aesthetics sells games.

Games without good visuals/design can sell, but there's not a ton of games out there with ugly/sloppy graphics that become hits (they do exist, sometimes it's kind of the point of the game).

So if you don't place a high priority on aesthetics, you're taking a risk in your game not finding an audience. And I'm saying this as someone who designs games with a mechanics-first mindset.

The board game industry is very aware of this, and very few publishers skimp on game aesthetics nowadays.

When there's hundreds of thousands of both great and aesthetically pleasing games out there people could be playing, why should they waste time playing a game that doesn't look good to them?
Apple forces you to use the rendering engine, not the browser. You can download Chrome to your iPhone.

Anyway, that's not the point. IE wasn't bad because it was a shitty browser. It was bad because it had features that other browsers did not have and it was very popular because it was very innovative and it was heavily marketed. This resulted in websites being made for IE only, which resulted in a lockdown of huge userbase that even Microsoft couldn't get rid of once decided to get rid of IE.

Safari is nothing like that and there's no Safari lockdown. On the other hand, Chrome does have non standard features and huge market share, forcing web developers to make everything for Chrome. That's exactly like IE.

If anything, Apple's refusal to allow the Chrome engine into iOS is the only thing that keeps us from complete lockdown into Chrome.
