> Renewables + storage is about 1/3 the price of nuclear and a new plant can go from proposal to delivering power in under 2 years

What storage that can provide the same availability and stability as a nuclear power plant? There is no such deployment today, and many of those planned are based on theoretical designs, and are thus with theoretical costs.
Under US law (Howey test) a security is something that

1. You invest money in

2. Along with others

3. With the expectation of profit

4. Derived from the efforts of others

IBM introduced copper interconnects in 1997; the designs before that date were aluminum. IBM is now doing the same thing with "gate-all-around" that will replace FinFET, which itself replaced planar.

You can't take a tube radio and manufacture it with opamps without substantial design changes.

Samsung is starting to use GAA right now, and TSMC will use it for the next process node.

Essentially if they find anyone sold crypto to unaccredited investors they would be engaging in illegal sales of a security.

Well, yes. That's the Howey test. It's pretty simple. A lot of crypto issuers liked to think it didn't apply to them, but the SEC has been saying consistently that it does. There's argument over whether crypto brokers, exchanges, or miners are subject to regulation. But anybody who created and issued a cryptocurrency is clearly making a public offering of a security.

The crypto community got away with a lot during the "line goes up" phase, because the SEC usually acts only when investors lose money. After a 2 trillion US dollar loss in market cap, that phase is over. There will be more complaints and more enforcement actions.

Of all the bridges in the bay area, the Golden Gate is the least deserving of such contempt IMHO.

At least pedestrians and cyclists can make use of it, I've done multiple bike rides from The Sunset to Marin/Sausalito/Larkspur via the GGB. Never a bad time.

The Bay Bridge however, now that's a bridge I can get behind hating on. Lots of lost opportunity.

Absence of effect is not absence of evidence.

That's a shifting of the burden of proof in an attempt to prop up a claim for which you not only have no evidence, you in fact have counter evidence.

Every business is different. Size matters. Bureaucracies don't scale.

Thinking that some self-reported information from a Dutch insurance firm is going to provide guidance to a auto manufacturer, Waffle House, or flooring manufacturer is like believing that all you need to do to make a sqlite database scale is by increasing the cpu count for your server linearly with database sizes.

Vercel is fairly clear about where it runs your code - depending on the type of page/deployment its going to be either S3, Lambda, or a cloudflare edge worker. There is a ton of logic behind how deployments work but the general benefit of using a service like Vercel is basically exactly as described above -- you push your code and it just works and you don't worry about it.

This is an attractive prospect for a lot of folks who want to spend their time making their apps better and not building/monitoring infrastructure. However, there are some folks who really like to build and maintain their own infra and in that case a service like Vercel might not be the best fit.

> The process of searching for working codes would have been slow and tedious, though as Menzies explains, the team came up with little tricks to speed things up. "I wired up a Commodore 64 to control a prototype Game Genie using a pop-up utility on the Commodore, so we could type codes directly in hex, which was a big improvement over using the NES controller. Also we managed to daisy-chain two Game Genies so we could enter up to six codes at once, which sped things up a bit. [...]

If your code was in a private repo they supposedly didn't use it for training. I think it was also mentioned they tried to limit it to only repos where they could determine some kind of license they thought would permit such usage.

If you're publishing your IP to GitHub in a public repo and using a widely permissive license, they didn't need an agreement to use that IP to train copilot.
> Web3 allows us to experiment with alternative economic systems in a controlled fashion, and our imagination is the only limit in this realm. We can describe an economic system’s exact properties for the first time and then let the experiment run, learn, and adapt.

The idea that this is unique to Web3, crypto, or even decentralized systems is incorrect. MMOs do this all of the time with a SQL server.
"You just described a subscription service", nope I think the defining character of web3 is a decentralised and hopefully anonymous community, driven and voted for by a blockchain powered mechanisme with a transparent, verifiable chain of decisions. In my opinion this is quite difficult to achieve with conventional organisational structures.
Way too many people hold various crypto for any action now. Sec can barely deal with Ripple and that's one of the easiest ones.
If you built the coupon system you describe - one where any retailer can redeem the coupon at face value without a preexisting trust relationship with the coupon’s backer - you would not have ‘solved coupon fraud’, you would have created a cash alternative.

And a cash alternative has a bunch of problems of its own - most notably, money laundering and its utility in conducting fraud and getting payouts for extortion rackets like ransom ware.

These are issues that centralized coupons have. Trustless ones would have it even worse.

Are you sure the retail industry, or consumers, are crying out for a trustless coupon solution?
You keep repeating that non-stablecoins make it non-stable but it doesn't actually make any sense. Fei is a stablecoin using non-stable assets, that is stable. All you need is a treasury bigger than outstanding debt. You're going to have to present better evidence than that.

I addressed your comment on Chainlink already, yes it could come under pressure or attack which would destabilize the network. This could be used to break many things, but it's not a vector for censorship / centralization because it has nothing to do with Fei's use as a currency and definitely doesn't make Fei centralised.

I prefer the DSL-like nature of viml over Lua. Yes, everyone likes to rag on viml, but just like any language with a lot of weird cruft in it (including some very popular ones millions of people use), once you learn it, it's not bad at all. That said, the new changes in 9.0 are welcome.

I don't like how they changed the config. It's more modern, sure, but it now means I can't just send my vimrc to a server.

I used nvim briefly then switched back. The only thing that makes me want to ditch vim is Bram's reaction to the initial PRs that spawned nvim in the first place. But, like, I can be crusty too, and I like that nvim is serving as competition to move Vim along faster.
This is exactly the issue why many people voted for Brexit. There was a feeling of disconnect between the people and the power. Now it may seem like a complete disaster, but we feel that our vote matters more now.
It's a shame the EU has not addressed this and they don't seem to be doing it anytime soon.
The most painful side effect of this is increasing corruption and lack of sense of responsibility among politicians. They feel like they can do whatever they want and there is extremely slim chance they get booted out or investigated.
And I'm not doing that. I don't doubt that you had a rough childhood, your mother is clearly an unfit parent. I still maintain that preemptively killing children because they might end up in bad families is not the way to go.

I agree. I think Keynote's limitations are a solid feature. Presentations should be basic slides with a minimal amount of important information on them. PowerPoints features are excessive and I've seen those features lead to disastrous, in my opinion, presentation experiences.
I don't agree with equating brevity and quality.

There's a definite trend in marketing/business communication to cut everything down to the bare bones and call that quality. At best though, this is an over-simplification. Not every piece of writing has the same purpose, and the current fashion for brevity aims at clarity but often hits stilted instead.

> It really doesn’t seem religious to me.

Here's a personal opinion, hopefully clearly presented.

Scientists performing science use the scientific method to give humans the best available objective knowledge about the natural world. This aspect of science is not religious in nature and I think ~99% of HN would agree with this up to here.

What science cannot do is use data to make decisions. Science cannot perform risk-management and cost-benefit analysis. You can use scientific data to perform risk-management and make a decision, but there's no objective outcome to any decision. Science qua science cannot decide which course of action is the scientifically accurate one: that concept doesn't exist. This decision-making is the aspect of reality that has become religious in nature, and that has become wrongly conflated with science.

To illustrate that science is not the same thing as decision making, I'd point out that we've had plenty of occasions in real life where the American FDA and the European Medicines Agency have had different opinions on drug approvals with the same exact data. Who is following the science and who isn't following the science when they disagree on a drug approval? You can't answer that, because they both are using science, just making different decisions. Science and decision making are two different things, yet in today's world, they are often treated the same by some of the loudest and dumbest people.

People in today's world scream "Trust the science" as if that's the end to the argument if you disagree with their proposed solution to some problem like climate change or taking a medication. This belief in science is what takes the form of a religious belief. There is no science that can tell humans what the right course of action is to some problem. That's an entirely different thing, yet people shout down rational skeptics about something by saying things like "the science says we must do X" as if that concept is inarguable.

Intelligent, well-meaning, and rational people can agree with objective facts about climate change and still reasonably think that the economic devastation and human misery caused by trying to cut emissions as quickly as possible is not the best course of action to take.

> I know a few people who work in this area and they are just normal physical scientists.

For the most part, most humans working in this field are normal scientists doing normal science things, as best as possible.

However, it should be noted that scientists are also people, and the financial survival instinct for them exists.

Scientists are smart enough to understand the political zeitgeist and what butters their bread. Just like journalists have an incentive towards news that get the most clicks, scientists also have an incentive to veer towards research and conclusions that gets them the funding they need to live and work.

The trouble is that this is the answer to every fossil fuel replacement problem and each of these requires more total energy than we're using. It also takes more energy to produce using solar, so now you need not just enough solar to replace current fossil fuels you need more.

And this is true of every hand-wavy "we'll just replace it with solar!" answer.

If our only usage of fossil fuels was to create hydrogen for industrial usage, you would be correct, this would be no concern. But we're no where near seeing this happen at the scales it needs to happen.
Every infotainment system I have ever used has been useless junk that barely worked.
Pure speculation on my part about how they did it back then, but nowadays one way on emulators is to save the game state just before some variable changes, then allow the variable to change, then save the game state again and look at a diff of both save states. For example save the game just before losing a life and just after losing a life to see what potential memory addresses change when a life is lost. You will get a bunch of other data as well for example when you die the level resets, your score might change etc etc... but as you repeat this process over and over again you will get a sense that address range X-Y is level data, range Y-Z is enemy data, A-B is this data, so on so forth and eventually you'll be able to narrow things down.
Well, de-optimization, in particular ranges.

But, yes.
I am so sorry to hear that this has been happening to your child.
It is absolutely 100% your responsibility of your child's teachers to protect your child from getting hurt (whether it's intentional or unintentional)
And it's completely your right and your prerogative as a parent to insist that they do so.
Pacifists should be strong and stand up for themselves. When I think of Ghandi, Martin Luther King, these are very strong and powerful people Pacifist does not mean pacifism.

I think you can talk to him about standing up for himself, but really age 3 is very young. If anything, you can model standing up for yourself verbally.

However, at age 3, the most important is that you insist that your teachers take care and protect him from getting hurt.

If they are not responsive, I would suggest you leave that daycare. If you need another childcare option, I'll help you find one.

Your kid is too young to defend himself. He's only three. He needs the support of attentive staff who know how to protect children and set appropriate limits for kids bullying or roughousing - contacting their parents if necessary.

The best way to teach your son to stand up for himself is to stand up for him NOW.
Everyone agrees drowning is really not humane but nitrogen isn't approved either (rodents are not humans and so they might react to things like inert gas hypoxia differently).

CO2 is common in labs though lab rats/mice do show aversion to CO2 which is interpreted to mean that it causes distress. So there's been ongoing debate for 20+ years over how humane CO2 is and what the correct flow rate should be and if oxygen should be added (or not) or other gasses (or not).[1]

Something physical like direct concussion/blunt force trauma followed up by another method might be better[2] (needs more studying) but there's also issues with physical methods because they require more skill to do correctly (or tools/machines developed to negate the skill factor).

Also operators dislike physical methods compared to gassing[1] so what's most practical might end up the standard[3] even if it may not be the most humane.

I mean, theoretically if you could instantly crush a mouse, faster than brain/nerve signals can travel, that would be humane, right? But then a human has to deal with a gruesome crushed mouse.

Companies don't deploy warrant canaries[0] just for fun. Lavabit[1] was also US based and shut down without the ability to defend itself thanks to a gag order. It might not be just as bad as China, but secret data extraction is definitely not exclusive to them.

And, since you mentioned

> And in fact, the CCP holds the iCloud keys for all Chinese iCloud users.

Quoting from [1]:

> The court records show that the FBI sought Lavabit's Transport Layer Security (TLS/SSL) private key. Levison objected, saying that the key would allow the government to access communications by all 400,000 customers of Lavabit. He also offered to add code to his servers that would provide the information required just for the target of the order. The court rejected this offer
