I really wish that I had something comprehensive to suggest. There are some things that I think everyone who deals with statistics should read, such as Freedman's 'Statistical Models and Shoe Leather'[^1] and Tukey's 'Exploratory Data Analysis'[^2]. Pearl's 'Causal Inference in Statistics' is the best introduction I know of to issues of causality as we understand them today. For actual inference, the basis is one player game theory (aka, decision theory). I learned it from Kiefer's 'Introduction to Statistical Inference,' which sets out the theory very nicely in the first few chapters. That's a starting point at least. There are some interesting courses[^3] that try to teach statistics via resampling that seem pedagogically very valuable. Resampling does build intuition nicely and using it gets people over their squeamishness around using randomized procedures.

> Nuclear technology has been up to the task for the past fifty years.

Nuclear's position at this point is "we had a meh run, but next generation will be better, pinky promise".

On a global scale for the past fifty years we had 2 meltdowns, a country attacking another's nuclear facilities as a threat, and no clear replacement plan for the aging reactors in most countries even as they are way past the set date for decommission ing, and se still don't see how to cheaply deal with the waste.

People tend to brush the "political problems" under the rug, but they are real issues either way, so not taking them into account when doing comparisons wouldn't be fair.
Tomb Raider is a pretty standard adventure game with a couple major exceptions:

- There's a lot of combat.

- The world is 3D rather than being 2D backgrounds.

But most of your time is spent wandering around solving puzzles and trying to figure out where to go next. It would be a better game, in my eyes, if they took the combat out entirely. Compare Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.
> It's an abstraction. A bunch of math that just-so-happens to result in accurate predictions. That's all it really is. How the universe really works (putting Tegmark aside) is a separate, ultimately philosophical question.

But philosophy is not knowledge, and it is in fact math that is the only form our knowledge can have in this area, whether we like it or not.

Decentralization starts with self hosting. We are going far away from it, if everyone is relying on cloud services.
You can insist until you are blue in the face that these are all untried and exotic, but you will be wrong throughout. And you know you are wrong as you say it.

If in fact they were exotic and untried, billions of dollars would not already be committed to factories to produce them in industrial volume. The processes involved are used industrially billions of times worldwide every day.

You only wish they were exotic because you imagine it would make nukes more appealing. But nothing can make nukes appealing. They get less so with each passing day.

> Prefix translation has the potential to be stateless which is nice for resource management on the translation element, though.

It really messes with protocols where you need to tell another host how to contact you, though, since you don't know your "real" IP address without asking some other server. This gets worse if there is more than one level of translation involved. You also need hacks like "hairpin NAT" (wastefully passing local traffic through the router) since local hosts trying to connect to the public IP of a local server don't realize that they can reach it directly via the ULA.

> … you might set up ULAs for local traffic, and use whatever prefixes are advertised for non-local traffic.

This is the way.
I studied semiconductor engineering in Canada about 10 years ago (graduated in 2011). Career propsects were poor, a few jobs available in California. A career in software would have been far better in terms of pay and opportunities.

Ah, no. The (numerous) historic disasters which most renewables resemble are those where civilizations implicitly assumed that the current climate - patterns of wind, rain, temperature, etc. - would continue indefinitely. Then...SH*T, the climate changed, often over rather large areas, and the civilization(s) which had conveniently assumed that that couldn't happen suffered or failed.

(If you're not familiar with this in the context of renewable energy, then you might want to google for news stories on what the long-term drought in the western U.S. is doing to the "sure thing, forever" supply of hydroelectricity at many of the major dams.)
That's because the actual goal is the opposite of diversity. They want conformity, they want to force the same norms and culture on everyone.

It's interesting, Coinbase had the exact same issue and it ended with some employees leaving the company. But it doesn't look like the trouble has stopped, now apparently different people seemingly unrelated to the DEI crowd are also unhappy with the way the company is run. See that recent petition for example that lead Brian to react with a bizarre Twitter rant.

Many of these crypto companies seem to have grown way too fast and hired too many new people at once. They failed to integrate them.
> "It has nothing to do directly with defending our country except to make it worth defending."

Thank you for sharing. This is one of the most thought provoking lines I have ever read. People and politicians often forget that making a country worth defending is as important as the act of defense.
It won't get to that point, because no one wants to hoard too much. Hoarding chips endlessly is pointless. It's basically just a riskless buffer for future spending or investing. People will either spend or invest all extra chips. Rich people would own all the factories that produce food and fuel. They wouldn't sit on a pile of chips.

If someone is endlessly hoarding chips, it means that they are producing more than they are consuming. This would be positive for the economic network, but negative for the individual (because they are working more than needed).

If someone has a lot of chips, but isn't producing anything, they'll eventually lose their chips, because they have to spend them to stay alive.
>I gotta to wonder are there any intimate or romantic displays are or they basically just roommates.

The way I take it, no. If you're a platonic asexual couple. You wouldn't see a problem being at home in a sexless marriage. It would show up in the studies as well. It's not that extent.

The problem there's resentment, there's anger, you stay away intentionally to avoid extra anger.

There is a problem and for so many societal reasons it needs to be addressed.

It certainly gets hugely dramatic once you include shadows & reflections.
If your not able to see the connection between the Fed Reserves desire to look for short term benefit to the economy in order to please Wall Street then I don't know what to tell you. Its plain as jane. Look at Jerome Powells background and then simply look at the actions the fed reserve takes. They are all for quick gains in the stock market instead of long term stability. This is literally illegal to do. Sorry you can't see it.

I deployed a toy Worker program at work the other day, and, while I'm fairly excited about workers, IMO they still have quite a ways to go, in terms of UX:

* Going from "I have some code" to "it's running" took many, many clicks. Luckily, they have CloudFlare Pages integration now, so you can just throw your code in a repo and the server will run it, PHP-style.

* Only JS is supported, more or less.

* The documentation is fairly good, but more examples would be great.

* Integration with other sites seems lacking. For example, I didn't find a way to redirect one of my site's endpoints to a worker.

I suspect that much of my pain was because I didn't use Wrangler, though, so the above may not apply if you use the canonical way.

> there's at least a dozen other conflicts around the world right now where you can make the same argument

Which other conflict is waged with the goal of eliminating the country completely and destroy its culture?

There were no major conflicts of this kind since WW2. Changing the government, plenty of times, but not erasing borders with the cultural genocide and some forced children "relocation" on top of that.

I didn't say anything about the US as a global empire or whatever, it's the collective World's responsibility to maintain peace and it's failing. But I say that there are clear "good guys" and "bad guys" here, regardless of the history of the US.
Gains from the past isn't so much the point, but rather when you may need to liquidate. An emergency fund is typically needed at the worst possible time, when the economy isn't good and investments are deflated. That's the liquidity risk you take with anything but cash.
100%. Their stronghold on governments (at all levels -- municipal, state, public safety/emergency response) is almost total and quite unfortunate. Very reminiscent of Microsoft/Windows/Office (which have strongholds in the exact same places) or Oracle.

As one example, ESRI's web mapping offerings are very behind the times (in terms of usability, api's, etc.) Mobile support has been atrocious. Outdated software practices + government lock in = terrible public maps and little innovation.

It's not a coincidence that almost nobody chooses them in the private sector for their maps. Just as you'd be surprised to learn that a startup picked Oracle as its database vendor...
We should ask the long term question, what if QGIS and other FLOSS products had broad support and significant resources flowing into them that ESRI has?

The way I think about it, often the same people, certainly people with the similar skillsets are working on all these products, most of them just follow the money.

I think one big missing piece of the puzzle for governments to assess these products is a governance and risk model associated with these products. But software engineers generally don't give a crap about governance, so we need more people who do care about that to invest in OSS. I'm seeing some movement on this like the Github Sponsors initiative.
These I'm afraid will only confirm what we already know.

>"just make that shit illegal"

Except those with the money to make investments in real-estate are the very same people who have enough money to make the political system work for them.

"Just make that shit illegal" is simply a refusal to understand how complex these incentives are. If it was so simple to just make that shit illegal it would have been done already; we are nearly decade in to the housing crisis in cities like San Francisco and you think people haven't thought about making it illegal? How do you go about doing that? Eventually you will be forced to consider solutions that the GP was referring to.

"Any site attempting to measure the highly subjective issue of bias should be taken with a grain of salt, if not a heaping tablespoon. That appears to be the case with the popular Media Bias / FactCheck web site. The well-respected nonprofit journalism organizations Poynter Institute and the Columbia Journalism Review have raised questions about the site, its research credentials and owner Dave Van Zandt.

Most troubling is its lack of serious research methods or credentials. Owner and editor Van Zandt is a self-described “armchair media analyst. Van Zandt said in a response (below) that he has worked in a research-related capacity in the healthcare industry.

Media Bias / Fact Check's rankings are based on a scale that Van Zandt developed on his own; the research and reporting are done by volunteers. Use it at your own risk."

Ha, I'm interning with their chip design team right now. They've done 7 tapeouts but there's a lot of mistakes and other issues down in the plumbing.

I wouldn't say their program is significantly better or worse than any other, and my understanding is this focus on a "Semiconductor Degree" is just a reshuffling of courses already offered in EE and ECE degrees. Certainly there are teams far ahead of Purdue. The programs at UCSD and OSU that are pioneering the work on OpenROAD and Skywater 130 are the ones who are really ahead of the game. If I could be at any program in the US, those are where I would want to be.

That said Purdue is absolutely ahead of the average ECE program. Very few undergrad programs are completing tapeouts on a regular basis, even at schools that would otherwise have the funding to accomplish it. There are plenty of schools that think of ECE as "EE plus some CS courses" and don't even teach much HDL, much less how to layout a standard cell or do timing analysis.
Ginger and delta 9 THC are antiemetics that work well.
Grid scale storage need two things to be viable. Capacity and duration. The battery solutions being rolled right now are those that operate on the scale of hours, being charged each day and then discharge each night. When you can reliable assert that you can fully charge the storage each day, and reliable know you can sell the full charge each night at the price point when the market peaks, it becomes fairly trivial to determine when revenue will exceed that of investments.

Solar + battery is great in those locations, and basically no one is aruging using nuclear when solar and battery is viable for 365 days of the year. Australia has a fairly large desert where such assumption would be true. Finland, Sweden, Germany, France, UK and most of Europe do not have reliable 365 days of sun each year. There aren't many investors spending their money to build solar + storage in northern Finland.

Yep, still running my saas product on it, have been for over 5 years. Never had any issues really, and we deploy through a CI/CD so we don’t have GitHub connected.

HN comments are hilarious. Someone who has created the first internet browser, built two companies worth $4.3B and $1.6B, and then a $30B VC firm doesn't have "the same intellectual and "lived-life" weight of your run-of-the-mills 9-to-5 office worker."

But right now, unless you are developing exclusively against safari, you can't depend on getting TCO. If all browsers implemented it, you could, and you get the performance cliff.

Used to work for hCaptcha.com, my thoughts:

hCaptcha.com has a "privacy pass", where if you create a user at hCaptcha.com, you can get passes to bypass the captcha itself (because you've already verified through other methods). This is not often used, because guess what? Not many people were bothered by captchas enough to create a user, because no one wants to create another user and be tracked (via privacy pass, across captcha-protected sites) through their user. This was mostly used by disabled users who couldn't pass hCaptcha's offerings.

Personally, I'm not interested in "logging in" or passing my "realness" via API from my device(s), as that's just another token to track an individual and their behaviors. Which is also why I haven't created any user for privacy pass myself, and would generally recommend that you not do so in any Apple, Google, etc., related system (not even hCaptcha, unless you're disabled and can't do the captcha itself).

I don't know what hCaptcha is doing nowadays.

But unless you're disabled, I wouldn't sign up or agree to pass this information from Apple, Google, etc.

Keeping whatever phone you have longer is always a more "sustainable" option, and I'd expect that any subscription model automatically is optimized for increased consumption, and so is worse. Phones can last a long time now that the technology has matured (mine is 5 years old and I see no compelling reason to buy a newer one). Just buy a decent phone when you really need a new one, if you care about sustainability
