> Homes aren't heated with nuclear power, they're heated with gas. Industrial processes don't run on nuclear power either, they run on gas.

I'm glad that there are still people who understand this. In the Netherlands 90% of the homes[1] still run on natural gas and that's not something we can "simply" replace. It is possible and will eventually happen but it will take years if not decades.

And that's just homes in the Netherlands. Take a look at the global energy mix[2] how much the world still depends on gas.

Nothing wrong with that stack, you will be in full control. Personally I prefer something like react or vue for the frontend and node.js for the backend. The great thing about it it's all in JavaScript so really only 1 language.

But it's a matter of preference, I recommend you to use the stack you feel more comfortable with.

You sign the hash; but you need the entire transaction to verify it does what you want (send funds to the expected addresses).

There's similar thing about Haskell. I often hear stories like "wow, I'm so glad I found Haskell, the community has been so friendly and helpful" and then other stories like "I tried Haskell and I liked the language but it was just such a toxic community". I don't really know what to make of this, and at this point I just put it down to the infinite variety in human experiences and preferences.

Is that not a manifestation of "the american dream", where "if you work enough, you too can be a millionaire"? It appears to me that too many people believe they are just temporarily embarrassed millionaires, blissfully unaware that by design the deck is stacked against them.
> It made me think how so few of us in each country really wanted to fight these wars.

Don't make a false equivalence. The Vietnamese were occupied by foreigners and did indeed - on the whole - want to struggle and fight for liberation from the US. As for people in the US - they were sent off to fight for geopolitical advantages of the ruling elite, for rubber supply security etc.
If they called it something else, a lot less people would mind! The fact that they called it a "live adaption of Cowboy Bebop" naturally causes people to compare the two... and if the live adaption reimagines all of the characters and changes plot lines, people are going to complain... even if you ignore all of the woke nonsense they added.

These are wonderful. Let me add one of my own to the collection. This is a true story from that same era, maybe a couple of years later when I got kicked out of my third grade class for being a troublemaker and had to go to a special ed class called Mrs. Spencer's Workshop.

199. Make your own printed circuit board

You will need: a common kitchen cutting board, a sheet of copper, a roll of electrical tape, a fish tank, and a supply of nitric acid. And whatever electrical components you need to complete your circuit.

All of these supplies are readily available to a third grader, except for the nitric acid which you will have to ask your teacher to source.

First, design your circuit and test it in your mind. Then tape it out - literally - with the electrical tape on one side of the copper sheet and matching tape on the other side.

Pour the nitric acid into the fish tank.

Dip the copper sheet into the nitric acid. Watch it with your teacher as the acid dissolves the copper, except where you have taped out your circuit.

When all that remains are the taped out traces, remove the copper circuit from the acid and rinse it with water.

Peel off the electrical tape and fasten the copper traces onto the cutting board. This is what makes it a circuit board.

Connect the rest of the components and test your circuit.

Go to the science fair, demonstrate the printed circuit, and explain to the visitors how you made it.

Thank you, Mrs. Spencer.
It's true in the sense that no government in South Vietnam had sufficient domestic support to stand on its own. For that matter, none had sufficient support to stand with American aid, with coup after coup until the US left.

Imagine if instead of being red-baited into escalating the conflict in Vietnam, LBJ had directed the money to his Great Society programs. Generational poverty would have been drastically reduced, more people would be educated, there would be less crime, and we would have more and better science. There would be less government suspicion, enabling the federal government to attract more top tier talent, leading to a more effective government. That's the real travesty. Even if South Vietnam got a supported non-communist government, it wouldn't have gotten the financial and technological support that South Korea got from Japan, so chasil's vision would not have happened.

"Space," [the Hitchhiker's Guide] says, "is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly hugely mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space."

Even L2 is big. I'm sure you could 10s or 100s of kilometres either side of "L2" and still have the same benefits as Webb has. In fact it you have enough objects there, and cooperate, they could effectively orbit each other.

If you want hands on experience, pick an open source app in the language you know and deploy it somewhere and load test till it breaks and see which part breaks first. It could be your load balancer can’t handle that many connections or you app server rubs out of memory or the db comes to a crawl. The more real world you can make load test queries the better.

At the very least you’ll get hands on experience.

> Who sends sensitive information by email?

Too many people. Example apply for job. Even in Europe, so many employers ask for PDF of all your certificates by email.

BTW, not everyone works in SV or FAANG that uses top encrypted databases from some top recruitment agency. Sure there are 10 jobs in government sector that will ask you to print 100 page of application - hand fill and send it. Everyone else not.

BTW, at my local copier place in Berlin, people come with file in cellphone. They just email or WhatsApp the PDF - can be CV, passport or anything - to the common copier fellow's email/WhatsApp - then print.

Even at most covid testing centres at airports - you need to give your passport number + address etc. You think they use encrypted laptops or GPG emails. The test result is returned by PDF email.

Sadly, proton mail is like iPhone. Sure it is secure, but once you install facebook or tiktok - nothing can be done.

While some whistle blower can use protonmail to send email to some journalist - for the normal citizen it is just useless.
Both nuclear and coal were used more than solar. And solar caused more deaths per MWh produced than nuclear (cause people fall off roofs while installing/maintaining it).

If you think scale matters - then you should also think that solar is more risky than nuclear by your own logic (because we're not using it on as big scale).
To be honest the set design was stellar. I also enjoyed the way it was narrated given that this comes from an animated series. You could still feel the roots, but they really fleshed out that universe in a good way.
You’re correct about the connection of classism and racism. I believe outside of that class largely doesn’t matter due to the many geographical cultural differences. Coastal classism will be different than southern classism, etc. and it’s just too much of headache to keep check of this and care. You think a rancher in Wyoming who owns a ranch with acres of land cares about Wall Street bankers? How do you measure class here?

Or maybe it’s just that Americans believe they are all temporarily inconvenienced millionaires.

From my admittedly limited knowledge of how self driving policy models are implemented, I believe the main black box AI is determining the part

`if personInFrontOfCar:`

(using object detection, masking, 3D pose estimation, et/or cetera)

And actually defined policies on how to handle certain situations given that inference are possible, in the case specifically of self driving vehicles.

My assumptions come from when I'd asked someone at NeurIPS in 2019 about what reinforcement learning methods they use as they said "I don't think any self driving companies are using reinforcement learning, it is too risky". I don't mean to imply this is hard to find information either, reading a few papers would be all it takes to clear up the degree to which most self driving policies are "controllable" in the way you describe, or at least to what degree.

My main point is that I think it is the inferring of the environment (current state) rather than the chosen policy at each time step which is more of an error prone black box.

Ask HN: Is happiness all there is?
I am 27M in a few days and realize that the older I get the less concerned I am with getting an edge, the latest tech, the highest paycheck, things that a younger version of myself saw a traits of a successful life.

Instead I try and maximise for happiness. At this point in my life that means more time working on my body and my image of self, trying (hard) to turn off the screen and spend time with my partner or the cat or whatever is happening in the environment I find myself in.

So I ask you, HN crowd: is happiness the goal?

I think you're missing the distinction between education and training.

Show HN: WatchThemLive – Legally Watch Your Users' Activities on Your Website
My idea is stop living for someone else who wouldn’t be happy living for someone else, and live for yourself^, just like an endless amount of generations of your parents hoped you to do.

Another commenter said that subj is nihilism. But feeding The Cycle with your own live and teaching kids to do so by example / by default is much more nihilistic than using what you’ve got. The treasure our ancestors have mined so hard is not biological. It is cultural and technological advancement. (And biologically we must be degrading at the same rate.)

Hi HN! We started developing this web app at 2021. Currently, it includes a number of tools such as a feature that allows you to record your users' points of view with all of their clicks and scrolls on your website in video format for you to examine how they interact with your design or whether there is a problem on your website or app that users tend to face.

WatchThemLive also includes analytics and heatmapping tools (heatmaps show how many clicks or taps each section or link on a web page has received.)

We're intending to develop WatchThemLive into a super app that includes many other features that will help website and application owners acquire more useful data than merely stats and numbers.

By the way, we have undertaken the required steps to operate in a manner compliant with GDPR, so by using this app you won't be violating any law regarding data security in any way.

>"A common belief is that people turn to porn because they can’t find sex or intimacy in real life. Teach turns this logic on its head: people don’t want sex or intimacy in real life. Thus, porn."

The article dedicates a large chunk to consumption of porn or practice of certain kinks as an example of that theory, but there's not a mention of a very obvious fact, namely that plenty of couples do those same things including together, and they don't fall into either category presented in that quote.

The entire argument looks at behavior through the lens of people who, by definition, already have reasons to be very envious which is tautological. Honestly it just sounds like one more book in the "angsty man self help" genre.

edit: just saw the top comment under the post after writing this one and couldn't agree more:

"People protect themselves with the smokescreen of "everybody" or "people". Every claim Ed Teach makes in his book about his fellow human beings is actually a revelation of who he is, not of who everybody else is. And as for his claim that "No one ever asks, 'Am I the narcissist who's hurting my family?'" then he is either a liar or has had very limited social experience."
Ah, you are right. The transaction data is just required to display what is to be signed in a human-readable format. This lets the user decide whether it wants to proceed with the signature or not. Otherwise, some malware could intercept transaction signature requests and replace them with arbitrary data (e.g. a transaction that empties the user's wallet). That's also why manually typing a hash in an air-gapped computer/device isn't going to work, you need the full transaction data.
I would have upvoted the first part of your comment because I, too, found that thing insufferable. I just scrolled to the end to make all the text appear and then started over.

> unlikely to break because of dependency version changes caused by the thirty-seventh party.

With rust you just check in your Cargo.lock file to your VCS and then the versions of your dependencies and their dependencies (etc) are pinned, so if it works now then it will always work. For dependencies on crates.io authors don’t even have the option to remove a version once it’s published.

Upgrading dependencies is an explicit operation, so you only do it when required and run your tests afterwards.

In practice I’ve had far fewer issues with dependency versions using rust than I’ve had using dynamic system libraries in the C/C++ ecosystem
