Quick and easy, run smartctl [1] at least once an hour. Add up the bad sectors (reallocated, pending, offline uncorrectable) --- alert if it grows by 10 in one day or so, or if the total hits 100 or so. Also alert if any of the other metrics say failed; if you've got a helium drive, there's a metric for that and you might want a threshold, but I don't have enough experience there.

If you really want to spend time on it, you could monitor disk transfer speeds and seek times and alert if the speeds drop or the seek times increase. But I'd guess that's unlikely to be worth the time.

The mining and waste are much smaller scale due to the incredible energy density of nuclear.

Look at how ugly coal gets, for the same amount of energy. Kids down in the mines, miner's strikes when it ended, people dying of smog. All sorts of terrible things derived from coal need to be included in this comparison.

The only thing nuclear really has against it is that when it goes wrong it can go really wrong. And people have thought about those modes of failure quite a bit, so why don't we see if they've come up with something?

We should try nuclear and see where it goes.

Bloomberg spent $1B of his own money to become US President and never even had a good showing in the primary.

The stories given by OP don't seem to support her point as much, it seems to me. The fact is that she and 'other who don't belong' where in those parties. Contrast this with some crusty societies of Europe, such as Germany or the UK. You are simply not going to get invited or even be remotely exposed to those circles. Moving to the UK I was shocked by how openly classist they are. And unlike the US, where at least you can hope to climb the class ladder with money, it's almost impossible to make it there. The phrase 'old boys club' is both figurative and literal.
These studies are so flawed, every study on alcohol which doesn't take into consideration the social lubricant aspect that it has, cannot be taken seriously.

So yes, I admit it, if you give up drinking a glass of wine in the evening (and something a tad stronger during the weekend) your liver functionality will be 100% as opposed to 96.4% if you 'indulge' instead.

Amazing...but there is so much life in that 3.6% in terms of laughter, experiences, friendship, relationships etc.

Life is for people who want to live not for those who are afraid to die.

I kinda like Bill Gates, I use the pruducts and services that he signed off at Microsoft every day. However I think he has gone off the deep end in the last 2 or 3 years. Instead of just putting the information out there and letting people decide he started playing policymaker as a non-elected official. Bloomberg 2.0 style.

I think you don't understand the embarrassment because you're trying to pick this apart too surgically. First of all, I should call out that I think our conversation is really about a hypothetical situation in which a display like this was operating in an airport for all passengers, whether they opted in or not.

That being said, I think it would be totally fair for a person to feel embarrassed about any personal information being displayed publicly on a monitor without their consent. Sure, all of this information could in theory be gleaned from other sources, but I don't think people are bothered by this because they know it would take some particular effort by someone who was interested. That falls under the average threshold of concern. What's more, it's just a fact of life. I don't think people expect water tight personal information security. But I do think people have an expectation of privacy. The example you gave is illustrative. You said someone can ask you for your first name. If they're an airline employee, fine. That's necessary for them to run their business properly. But if they're a stranger on the street, you're perfectly entitled to tell them to get lost. Now let's consider that a hypothetical, non-opt-in PI display in an airport would be rather like a stranger walking up and asking you for your first name. Yes, there's not much actual threat in giving it. But who would want to do that? No one. I'm not sure I could say why, but I don't think it's fair to ask why and I don't disagree with the instinct not to hand out one's first name on demand.

I think it's important to take into account these kinds of "first-person" concerns that have a sort of common sense to them. You might be able to diffuse them from a strictly logical point of view. But that doesn't do away with the fact that an average person would still have the concern. And maybe there's an unseen logic in the common sense viewpoint.
This article is a good example of how to take innuendo and declare it as fact to bolster a narrative. It's a journalistic strategy, and it's taught in journalism school.

E.g.:

> In 2021, the Pegasus Project, an investigation by a consortium of international journalists, revealed that the Indian government had been spying on more than 300 people, including journalists, activists, and politicians.

The word: "revealed". It's all innuendo. Nothing was indisputably "revealed". A true example of "revealed" would be the video Hunter Biden filmed, of himself taking a shower with multiple prostitutes while smoking crack. But don't expect to hear about it because it doesn't suit the narrative. This, on the other hand, is innuendo being trotted out as fact.

Last word on this topic: the narrative sketched in this article is "Modi bad." But the evidence is from a state run by a staunch Modi opponent, belonging to a party that is in opposition to Modi's party.

Probably because his kid wanted to make a number guessing game? I feel like the last thing you would want from a children's programming language is "why would you want to do that? Go learn Java if that's the type of thing you want to make"
Nationalism is not racial. The implication is that you have more of a problem that China is seeing your data vs America just because it’s not your country, rather than both being equally bad (third party seeing and potentially using your data against your best interests or not compensating you for it).

Nationalism is the belief that your country is inherently better than others just because it is your country.

If everyone held this view then there would be no path that doesn’t lead away from national conflict, because all Chinese would choose China and all US people would choose US in these situations, rather than focusing on objective bad actors.
The way is to use the Web as is, and native for everything else.

I worried about things like this when I found out that we would have to formula feed our baby. But then I dug into the literature and found that the effect in most cases, while statistically significant, were very minor. Usually just a few percentage points different. And that's not to be interpreted as "kids who were formula fed were 2% sicker or scored 1% lower on tests". It's more like, out of the group of kids we studied, some formula fed kids scored higher and others scored lower. But it averaged out to a few points lower.

There are so many other, much more important factors in raising a healthy kid. The breastfeeding vs formula is hardly worth the brainpower.

The Kremlin's following the strategy of "help America tear itself apart" by fomenting racial and political divisions, so maybe the race bit set their sensors off. I think the sensitivity should be decreased though. :p
This is an easy problem to solve. You just have the paint mechanism at the back of the vehicle so it paints after the wheels have moved over the track. Kind of like the reverse of the plough at the front of the train that some networks (not U.K.) have to clear the track before the wheels pass over it.
For those wondering what language this is for before clicking on it: it's not much more than what I think would traditionally be called an expression evaluator, and very simple one at that --- it only recognises binary logic expressions, and the 150 lines doesn't include the parser or lexer either. Not a bad attempt for what is presumably a first try, but I think "complete compiler" is overselling it.
At this point any personalized ads I see are effectively ads for a competing product (possibly the always competitive nothing product). I'm personally already pissed off by Internet surveillance capitalism; if tone deaf ad firms want to try and bring personalized psychological manipulation into public spaces as well, I doubt it will have quite the reaction that they expect.
Sure it does.

It has something to do with it, because there are ways of achieving their goals without some massive, giant, violent revolution.

Special economic zones, are the most common example of this, and are created by countries in a perfectly legal way, without some violent revolution.

Using financial resources to get a country to create a special economic zone would be both reformist, non revolutionary or violent, and has historical examples of being achieved.

It is objective fact that the overwhelming majority of underclass people in the US consider themselves "middle class".

They are very successfully manipulated to vote for people who will deny benefit to people like themselves in the (sincere, induced) belief that it would mean taking from themselves to give to people even lower.

It is the bedrock principle of "conservative" politics, that successfully keeps the upper class from ever needing to pay their fare share. The underclass have been taught to carry them on their shoulders, and like it.

Ah, but railroad workers in the US are also part of a union/unions, with arguably even more rules and regulations and very averse to technological advances, since it reduces the need for manual labor. So yeah USA would have more deaths because everything is manual and archaic, whereas in the UK you have things like the DLR, it could never happen in the US.
This is an special problem for the uninsured that struggle with mental health.

A close friend struggled with bipolar. She was uninsured and making close to minimum wage…calls to suicide prevention hotlines resulted in thousands of dollars in new bills from ER visits and even involuntary psychiatric care.

She was struggling to pay rent. Being discharged in effectively the same condition as before but with new debt she wouldn’t be able to pay off for years…the medical bills for involuntary psychiatric care were their own special sort of crazy.

To your first point, what is interesting, and often frustrating, is exactly what you’re saying: people resisting change now did not learn from people then. Quite the opposite. The point is that people often defend their status quo ignorant of the fact that it itself is the result of many historical transformations. The institution of marriage is a good example. Another is behavior that is considered gender normative.

It’s quite interesting how even the wording echoes over time. Hawthorne’s belief that firelight is essential to discourse reminds me of the critiques of mass newspaper reading (that modern society would be ruined because everyone would have their face in a newspaper), or how novel reading would bring ruin to women.

The point being that the status quo today, or the status quo in the 1950’s, is itself the result of many changes that people at the time thought were ruinous, from mass reading, to bibles written in colloquial speech, to voluntary marriage.

This does not mean resistance to change is bad: it certainly seems like a useful reflex to keep chaos at bay. Your third point is quite apropos. A good example of that as well was the popular resistance to the automobile. People at the time saw the mounting fatalities, the congestion and pollution, all of which is so normalized today.
Sounds like a black mirror episode
So we should just give up? Yes it's a hard problem trying to regulate the behavior of companies with the resources and determination to subvert consumer rights, but it's not binary, incremental progress is possible. If you have ideas for a better approach perhaps you could share them here.

This is the coolest thing I have seen this week! Is the program open sourced?

I firmly believe Scratch should be taught at university level for business students. We studied C, C++, VB and MS Access. We didn't understand crap, nor the instructors had any interest in teaching that crap.

Scratch is a wonderful tool for any people to dip their toes in programming. And stuff like this makes me double down on this idea. Scratch should be the first thing to be taught to teach programming regardless of education level. BI tool and database interaction is the perfect and practical application of Scratch.
Yeah, if you have unlimited time and money.

Where do you get the uranium from? It doesn't magically fall out of the sky. It comes from heavy extractive of industry.

As opposed to the Windmill Fairy?

What's the reasonable worst case scenario with a nuclear plant failing?

Using Fukushima as an example, the worst case is that fewer people died as a result of the meltdown than died from the hasty reaction of shutting down all of Japan's other nuclear plants (https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesconca/2019/10/31/shutting-...).

What happens to the waste?

It's contained, which is a large improvement over spewing it into the atmosphere.

These clever questions you're asking have been studied extensively, and nuclear comes out far ahead of fossil fuels on every conceivable metric. You can try to make the argument that we don't need to build any more nuclear plants because wind and solar will provide everything we need in 10 years, although you'll need to explain why this is true now when people have been incorrectly claiming it for 40+ years. But if you're shutting down nuclear plants and burning more coal as a result (hello Germany), you've taken a very wrong turn.
Herbert W. Franke has died
The DLR is only automated because it's brand new. It replaced nobodies job. And even that was a real fight to get and caused lots of strikes.
I cant imaging anyone actually wants this
It makes perfect sense that all of this would be caused by the war in Ukraine though. Fossil fuel production was already tight prior to that happening, and Russia's invasion and the resulting sanctions cut off a bunch of supply on top of that. That meant that there was not enough available on the market to fulfil demand at the previous prices and it took a substantial price increase for consumption to drop enough that demand could actually be filled. That money didn't just disappear because money doesn't do that, it instead ended up as profits for oil companies.

Similar problems have been caused before by producers artificially limiting output, but all indications are that the world's oil production genuinely is at its limit with current infrastructure or near enough to it as makes no difference. (Partly because the push for net zero, the risk of government restrictions, and ESG campaigns that made it hard to get funding all discouraged investment.) This means that there's no easy fix in the near future. In particular, confiscating those extra profits and handing them out to people in the hope they'll be able to afford stuff again just won't work - the reason they can't afford as much is because the supply isn't there and no amount of moving money around changes that underlying cause.
Buckling at high temperature is better than fracture at low temperatures. I used to do research in this area. The "holy grail" technology would be a non destructive way to infer the "neutral stress temperature" of continuously welded rail that has been already installed in a quick and non destructive way. Saw lots of weird hopeful technology prototypes based of measuring the hysteresis curves of induced magnetism in the rail, idea being that the stress would have some effect on the magnetic domains. Never worked in the field AFAIK.
Here in Australia they will get hoses out on hot days desperately trying to cool the rail down to stop it buckling.
They just said that the kid was making it. Not whose idea it was.

You seem to be ignoring the fact that too many sacrifices by the mother in the name of breastfeeding can also be detrimental to the child.

There is a good reason they tell you to put your own oxygen mask on before helping your child in the case of a depressurizing plane.
My family burned coal when I was a child, and eventually switched to wood. Cost aside, coal still seemed a lot more practical for seriously heating a house because it stays lit much longer, wood constantly demands attention and refuelling. But it's harder to light and the ash is useless. Nostalgic though :)

Bias against what - exactly ?

They might represent a perfectly random selection for bias on many issues.

Moreover, bias is probably overstated. Nobody is unbiased, we probably just don't want rabid people on juries.

I don't have that much faith in random plebes, but after seeing some of the information come out of random juries for big cases, it's actually impressive how reasonable and thoughtful most of these people are in the end.

I do wonder about 'unanimity' though, I think unanimous minus one' ought to be valid.

You know what's 'great' so long as it's fair: quick justice.

Trials take years. We need to get away from our bureaucracies and find smart ways to move the ball forward.
