You can easily heat houses with electricity, and, with more effort, you can convert most of industrial processes to use electricity instead of gas. The reason it hadn’t been done is that it was significantly more expensive than using gas. However, with gas gone, and with hypothetical abundant nuclear, this would not have been the case.

Arguing against nuclear because “electricity doesn’t help heat houses” is extremely strange, bordering on deceptive.

Lol Disney is a cult! If you say anything bad about it people come out of the woodwork to defend the mouse. I was raised outside of the cult but I have dear friends that are a part of it. Totally rational people until you level any criticism towards Disney, which is especially crazy because most of these folks are normally anti corporate types, but Disney gets a pass for some reason.

If an astronaut develops a mental health problem in space, what’s going to stop them from opening the hatch or probably a thousand other things that would result in the deaths of everyone aboard? Guns are just a distraction in this case, or more precisely, removal of guns from this situation doesn’t seem to meaningfully reduce risk.

That said, I have no idea why astronauts need guns; they’re unlikely to encounter hostile humans or animals and shooting isn’t a practical hobby in space. Maybe in case they land in a bad neighborhood or wilderness? In that case, why not just store the guns on the outside of the landing module, making the guns difficult (and obvious) to access while in space.
For comparison, and hoping that netflix doesn't devolve to that point, I submit Spotify. My wife and I have the "2 people" plan. But it is draconian that only one device be used at a time. So if I'm listening and my wife starts the car, my shower/work tunes shut off. The car doesn't have multiple profiles. Similar happens if she is in the kitchen and starts tunes via voice (bluetooth from her phone understands it is a different profile).

To be fair, Google Play has similar draconian limitations. I assume this is part of their agreement with the music industrial complex.

Announcing Rust 1.62.1 (Vulnerability Fixed)
Out of reach AND tickets sell out. So what's Disney to do? Why would they lower prices?

Ballgames don't generally sell out. And they have several available price-points.

Movies have ways to get discounts. And their issue is just getting people in since their competition is watching at home. Like offices, they need to make the experience very compelling. Not so easy.
No, since all currently available nuclear reactor models are way more expensive to build than renewables. And a lot of tangentials remain open. Like where to get and reprocess fuel rods? What about operational safety? And most of all, where to dump the radiactive waste?

But in the end, just the price will kill them on any larger scale.
> Both parties are better off after that transaction.

What about the externalities of that transaction?

* If meat, what was killed to produce it? If veg, what was removed from the ground (and how will it be replaced)?

* Who was exploited in the production?

* What damage did you cause while traveling to the store?

* What damage was done while getting the goods/supplies to the store?

* What infrastructure was required to facilitate the transaction? What damage and opportunity costs did that inflict?

The economist would hand-wave all that away as being priced in by the "efficient" economy. Yet even the tiniest inefficiency (say, un/under-accounted damage to the environment caused by burning petroleum to power the vehicles involved) compounds over billions of such transactions every day over decades into massive debts that humanity must ultimately account for.

I guess that’s all fair, but to be clear, I’m not proposing to host public-facing content. Only private content that can be viewed by authorized users who have the right first party cookie to allow it.

Public facing content could easily be hosted on the other domain for all of the reasons you listed, and third party cookies won’t matter then.

I appreciate you outlining the arguments. I know some other sites like Dropbox do the exact same thing with a user content domain.

I think this is largely a personnel & hiring problem. Stop hiring people who can't work in teams. It takes more than just Developers to ship good software. Stop hiring designers who cannot design software.

> do you also find that there's a lot of tension between developers and designers?

To be honest, no, not really. Only ever at one job have I experienced a problem with developers and designers working together. One designer (out of two or three) was very ego-driven and was focused on producing a piece of art to hang on a wall, while one developer (contract, out of five) just flat out didn't respect anyone else (developers, designers, or PMs) and it was "his way or the highway". There are ways to work around this (mostly around setting clear guidelines for process and expectations), but ultimately the problem is with those people. Let them go.

Good designers are those who recognise that you don't ship PSDs (or Figma designs, as it is now) and are aware of the iterative approach to developing software. Good developers are those that actually respect the design process and set aside time for it.

If you structure your project/team/company where developers and designers are separated, and designs are "chucked over the wall" you will forever be running into problems. The best teams will be cross functional and have design's included in every step of the process.

Design Systems can be a huge help here - when everyone (designers and developers) have a common vocabulary of how a product looks and acts. Get this mature enough and you can just design your product with wireframes.
He built all/most of those in public, btw. Which is part of how he was able to develop a lot of well-deserved trust. This strategy has a very good reasoning, but I do think it's hard because not everyone is able to develop a huge following easily (even in daily life).
> By this logic all companies maliciously sell broken software in order to charge for updates.

Your analogy here is not great since the parent's claim is that academics have no incentive to produce good, reproducible research, not that they are maliciously creating bad research.

A more apt analogy would be:

"By this logic all companies would be driven by quarterly metrics and rush out broken software and then charge for updates/support"

... which is pretty much the exact state of the industry right now.
My last job was centered around trying to reproduce the results of deep learning academic papers, and maybe porting them to other frameworks or platforms.

Even WITH code supplied by the authors, this was always a struggle. It'd usually take about a week or so just to get their github project out of dependency hell and actually run at all.

And if it needed to be reproduced in another framework, I'd really really want some kind of demo code just to clarify what exactly the authors were trying to describe. Especially if their descriptions had holes or discrepancies that only became clear when trying to fit the pieces together.

I remember trying to reproduce a couple of object tracking papers from the same authors, one with an overly complex and poorly defined feature set, the other with a glaring mistake/omission that forced my team to redesign the model because they described using a certain layer type in a way that made no sense.

There were a few good exceptions that provided nice code, but difficult reproduction seemed to be the norm.

Sun, IBM and the other Unix companies were in a bitter fight with MS, especially at the mid-tier.

Java, notably Enterprise Java, became the teeth of that fight. With Java, it let the hardware makers do what they do best -- make hardware. It let the OS designers do what they do best -- design OSes.

While the Unix "shell" experience was commoditized, the kernels certainly were not. The management of the systems still had proprietary magic pixie dust to help distinguish the products.

The fact that Java per se couldn't necessarily directly take advantage of these OS developments isn't germane since the bulk of the work, especially at the time, was in the back end databases. And those COULD take advantage of the platforms. But all of them could leverage the management capabilities of the platform.

Java was just the high level, portable business logic layer. Java was the safe solution that didn't require total commitment to a platform. Java was the rising tide to lift all boats that let the hardware folks sell and compete at the hardware level, especially against a company with monopolist, "lock in" tendencies such as Microsoft.

Write your software in Java, pick all of these platforms to deploy on, each shining in their own special way. By developing and promoting Java, which was not just Sun, IBM and others did a lot of Java work as well, it expanded the overall market for their hardware.

Sure, it opened the door to Intel et al, but Intel wasn't able to compete at the high end where Sun and IBM were able to compete.

Later, of course, as CPUs improved, there was less and less need for larger computers. Especially when "the network is the computer", allowing diverse, smaller computers to compete with larger monolithic systems.

Where Sun struggled was turning around from a hardware company to a services company. Oracle and IBM are both service companies. One happens to make a popular database, the other happens to make some, today, niche hardware. Sun, with its engineering core, wasn't really able to make that leap. HP tired to do the same thing, perhaps with less success.

But Java wasn't what killed Sun. Java helped them all rally and fight against MS, and thrive.
Nutanix Objects does not use minio in the core data path. The presence of a binary in a kubernetes pod doesn't necessarily mean that the binary is being used or the fact that nutanix objects is nothing but a wrapper over minio. Earlier implementations did use minio purely as a S3 protocol adapter, i.e a protocol translator from S3 API to Nutanix internal storage protocol. This was something that was publicly acknowledged : https://blocksandfiles.com/2019/11/07/nutanix-objects-storag...

However, in later releases they seemed to have replaced the minio based protocol adapter to something that they developed in-house in C++ and have no longer using minio in their protocol stack.

They would, the point of this article is that the upwards pricing without upwards wages means more and more people can't afford the vacations. Unless they just build in more capacity (which they do where they can[0-2], although DisneyLand is quite constrained in terms of real estate), the demand is increasing much faster than that capacity and thus the prices are increasing to match what the market will bear.

I took grandparent comment's reference to be the resistance to COVID-19 vaccines, which could have prevented endemic establishment in the US of COVID-19 had the GOP base adopted them quicker (along with non-pharmaceutical interventions). The mRNA vaccines are an absolute gamechanger in this space. I am glad we have the technology available.

EDIT: Whoa, people surprisingly hate this comment. It's true though -- rural red counties have been hit much harder, due to demographic factors, lower vaccine uptake as well as boosting, lower access, and lower testing generally (leading to higher serology rate differentials to reported counts). The entire state of GA, for example, looks like each county has low case counts compared to the rest of the US until you realize testing there only captures 1 in 4 cases. This selective intransigence to public health measures was a problem when there was one case, and has persisted to be a problem until today.
To me it sounds like "more people get rich" is a line in the sand. There are more movies to choose from, but the top movies gross more now than they ever have and the "middle-performing" movies, relative to the others, make less than they did 40 years ago. If you draw a line and say "more movies make over 100 million in revenue now than before", that is a natural byproduct of there being more movies to pick from now, and more people watching movies now.

Pareto distribution also explains wealth distribution and "income disparity". There are simply more people now, so the separation between the median and top 1% is going to be greater now than it ever has been. There's nothing political about this. It's a natural manifestation of a Pareto distribution, and as another commenter pointed out: this distribution shows up all over the place in nature.

Hey HN! We're the creators of Sieve API (https://www.sievedata.com) and we recently built this fun site that folks can play around with. Frontend is built with NextJS + Tailwind UI and backend is our API.

It uses ffmpeg in the browser to transcode an uploaded video, chop it to 5 seconds, and then send it to our API endpoint which detects and tracks objects in the video. You can then "select" any object and track it over the video.

We thought it'd be a fun thing for the community to play around with while also showing the power of video object tracking!

Maybe we are a bit harsh with Germany? By pulling out of nuclear, they poured billions in renewables much earlier that other countries. They had to deal with immature technologies and greatly participated in making them more reliable and cheaper.

> The renewable-energy field employs nearly 340,000 people in Germany, and according to the Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF), there are now more than 180 universities and 120 research institutes involved in the country’s energy-transition programme, Energiewende.

Pulling out of nuclear might have been a net negative for Germany but a net positive for the rest of world.

Funnily enough orbital mechanics don’t work that way. To accelerate towards an object ahead of you in your orbital plane you need to lose velocity, drop into a slightly lower orbit, then gain velocity to slow down and intercept.

Velocity is tightly coupled to altitude when orbiting.
