Dangerous and harmful? Sorry for my wrongthink I guess. I'm not saying any discussion has to be about racism and sexism, I'm saying that this discussion filled with thought experiments and tortured analogies barely even considers the prospect that there's something more at play here. As if there is no power dynamic whatsoever. This debate is as political (probably more so) as it is philosophical. Your post seems to presuppose that there aren't sexism and racism dynamics at play, which seems equally "dangerous and harmful" to me if we're going to go down that road.

As for in-group signaling, there's a lot of that going on here, including in your very comment (white coastal elite sensibilities). Talk about making a strong argument -- maybe saying a comment is "dangerous and elitist" isn't putting your best foot forward.

Roe v. Wade didn't fall because more people were convinced it should fall. A minority of the country elected a President that appointed the current Justices. A Senate representing a minority of the country used hardball power-plays to install those justices on the bench. Those Justices lied (according to two Senators that voted for them) and obfuscated to make sure they would be confirmed, some of whom passed by the slimmest of margins and certainly wouldn't have gotten on the bench if they had been candid about their intentions. Abortion rights are falling because people in power used their power to get what they wanted, regardless of anyone's opinion.

For me, this whole issue has taught me that the best way to get what you want isn't to convince people and build a coalition (who have largely made up their minds anyway), but to use power in cynical ways to reach your desired outcome, the consequences be damned.
Note this is probably a false dilemma. According to Brazilian federal police, the recent deforestation surge is caused by illegal logging, not agriculture or cattle raising. Source in Portuguese: https://www.cnnbrasil.com.br/nacional/pf-grilagem-e-madeira-...

Brazil had no trouble to grow in 90s and 2000s while reducing Amazon deforestation.
This is a tired argument. The amount of land wind and solar needs to power the world is extremely small comparatively speaking [1], and nuclear just can't get built in under a decade. So we use a bunch of land, but at least it gets built (you can build the equivalent power generation of a nuclear plant, even taking into account capacity factor, with solar and batteries in ~2-3 years).

Perhaps density matters if you're attempting to escape a gravity well, but Earth is big and space is not a concern.

Y'all know enough sunlight hits the Earth every 2 minutes to power humanity for a year, right? [2] It's fusion at a distance. Someone else handles the waste, the safety risk, there is no neutron embrittlement issues.

> You can have wind farms in your arable land

You can, but we don’t, because people have preferences with their views and overcoming them takes time. We have a choice: nuclear or climate crisis. Putting ideological purity ahead of practical reality is dogmatic.
Energy density matters for the same reason any other form of land use density does. You can't be against suburbs and for wind farms.
thanks rasul!

on an individual basis, there is some evidence that reading with your "best" font may have a meaningful impact on reading speed with no loss of comprehension. but you could probably unlock these gains by simply switching from, say, arial to garamond (i made that up for illustrative purposes), rather than implementing this complex font style.
Minor league games are an amazing steal; especially if you have a local team you can follow - you get up close and personal, and often the players stick around for autographs and fun.

I have quite fond memories of the Everett Aquasox; I wish we had a minor league team closer to where I am now. And sometimes you even get to see the stars when they're on injury rehab!
Nuclear uses less land than solar or wind, but the factor might only be 2 if you include mining for uranium.

External impression, not facts, but intuition seeing how some VCs and startups are acting:

He didn't seem to have a real choice, maybe an illusion of choice since (from an external point of view) as he was pinned against the wall.

They were using his software commercially and even using the trademark of Salvatore (he was complaining about such uses occasionally). He was broke, I guess that's why he didn't register the trademark.
Literally while they raised 40M USD, he was explaining struggling on this board:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12506743

This is actually one year after the first Redis Labs deal :/
Totally not the speech of someone with a multi-million exit in sight.

Fast-forward several years later:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19203596 (with already >1B valuation)

If Salvatore just got 10% of the company he would get 100M+ USD.
1%: 10M+ USD.

Something must have happened.

If I'm wrong and he is super rich, then it's my mistake, but in general it's incredibly easy to get screwed up in a hostile shareholding / corporate environment when in front of you you have experienced lawyers and bankers.
I'm surprised GitPages are not in the web hosting section, it is an extremely popular option for hosting static pages?

If every German apartment dweller bought one 1500W, plug in heater, gas use would plummet.

Yes, we meant MRR, thanks for pointing up the typo
Not only this but internal surveys as well. One particular company (100+ startup) in Vancouver was well known for this. The CEO would tell workers that the survey was anonymous but then would immediately try to identify track down humiliate them. It was posted on Glassdoor a couple of times but pretty sure they were taken down like this.
our organization was using Minio as an external S3 replacement and had contacted their sales once. When a decision was made to not go for the paid plan, we were legally threatened saying that we cannot even make remote calls to a AGPL software.
Those ammo depots are not that far into Russian occupied territory. Do we even know if they have many S-X00s set up there, already? Also, Russian DoD or whatever they're called has reported intercepting some of those HIMARS.

Also, at the start of this, Ukraine had around 100 S-300s - which is one of the reason Russia has had a difficult time. Those are effective systems. And there's a reason the US made a big deal about Turkey purchasing S-400s.
The Orioles are for sure dirt-cheap. They run promotions where you can get in for four bucks. When I was in Pittsburgh for a minute the Pirates were a crazy bargain too.

If the MTA ever gets its shit together I'll be able to get there and back on the Light Rail, too.
How were these not long term repercussions as well? Nuclear power is the safest per kilowatt hour, and (at least in the US) we’re throwing away the vast majority of fuel solely for political reasons.

Living in a sunny state, I’d love to see solar on everything; the more the better. But to backstop that, nuclear seems like by far the best option.
Baseball is a monopoly by who? Certainly not MLB, they're just the biggest game in town but by no means the only game, nor even the most common, nor even the most expensive in many places.

Ask HN: Personal finance blog as monetizable pet project?
I am a FAANG tech worker bee (experience as software engineer, tech lead and engineering manager) who is growing significantly tired of the corporate rat race, and the fact that I have really no control over pretty much anything I do all day at work, I am at the whims of corporate politics that make every effort I spend objectively pointless, if it wasn't for the fact that it pays my salary. As such, I am looking to start some sort of pet project to satisfy my craving for ownership.
I think over the years I gained a unique perspective when it comes to personal finance, financial independence and passive investments, working in tech, tech compensations, startups and equity, and similar topics (a few snippets of this "wisdom" are available in my other comment down below). I routinely get calls from friends/acquaintances/ex coworkers asking for advice regarding one of these topics.

I am trying to understand if it would be worth starting a blog that covers these subjects. The goal would be to eventually monetize this in some way (ads, affiliate, consultations, …) just so that I could consider it worth my time.

Do you think this could be a viable strategy, or am I embarking on a sad journey that after thousands of hours spent creating content would leave me with nothing valuable to show for? A brutally honest answer would be highly appreciated, since I haven't started yet.

Thanks

Considering he's claiming credit for getting guns out of space, I'm disappointed but not surprised he failed to mention that the gun was required to fend off bears after the Voskhod 2 mission. So thus far the gun's record is +2 human lives.
Now that's surprising! Usually the HN and CCC crowd don't mix.

Source? I will gladly agree that standards should be greatly increased in the US for operating both four-wheeled and two-wheeled vehicles, and I much prefer driving in western European countries partly as a result, but this is an exaggeration that doesn't apply to the states I've lived in.
As a Clemson fan, I had a really weird experience this year. We didn't make the playoffs for the first time in 6 years, instead getting picked for the Cheez-It Bowl in Orlando...and it was fantastic.

I grew up taking a family trip over Christmas break every year to wherever Clemson was playing in a bowl game. This was the 90s, so it was never a top tier game for us but the trips were always great.

When my kids got old enough to start taking them on these trips, it was impossible to justify the $1,000+ cost per ticket for each playoff game. Before travel cost was factored in.

Tickets to the Cheez-It Bowl were in the $50-80 range and you could pay a little more to get access to the Club Level. Took the whole family to the game and the kids loved it. We all had a great time. And Clemson won (take that Iowa State).
The German green party have been vehemently anti nuclear for decades. It's been that way since before Chernobyl but they started to gain popularity after that.
Regarding replicability, I disagree this is a problem at all. Writing shit code is not going to prevent someone highly capable from replicating your results. If anything, I empathize with researchers writing sloppy code. It’s a creative field and they already have to do enough editing and documentation. Omitting code or fabricating/manipulating evaluation results is what prevents replication.

Frankly, unlike the author, I think there’s too many people in the field. They produce a handful of papers worth reading every year along with thousands upon thousands of models that may or may not slightly improve performance on a specific task and then have no general value beyond that. And I don’t believe this will change much- ml is likely the most monetizable PhD path by a safe margin, so there is too much profit incentive to churn out crap at any cost.
Hydro dams are the greenest at scale, but I agree, Germany likely can't do a dam.
Btw, we added the "try out" form on the mobile as well so you can submit your page as well through mobile :)
In general, I don't like the idea of breaking the anonymity, and I haven't checked the reviews posted about Zuru, but the tough question is, should you/a company have the right to break anonymity for factually inaccurate statements.

As a publicly elected official, I have had someone lie about me at a public meeting. An accusation which if true, would certainly inhibit my ability to get re-elected. Since it was in public, I could find the person who said it and got a public retraction at the next meeting.

Thankfully these occurrences are few and far between, but doesn't diminish the question about the rights of the target.

But what if this accusation was posted anonymously and I could not find the the accuser? Should I be allowed to get the name from the site?

This is false. There was no chance of ever stopping covid-19 from reaching endemic status with vaccines. Covid simply is too tranmisable and rapidly changing and spread quickly too wild animal populations such as deer. It was right to be cautious and attempt continment/eradication initially when there was still so much unknown but it's clear now we never stood a chance.
Maybe the drones operate along aerial highways, and use a Wile E. Coyote-esque claw to release their payload on a parachute?
Yes, education tends to correlate with decreased Republicanism and increased quality and duration of life.

In other words, education is just one of many positive life influences often rejected by Republicans.
It would still say “drive.google.com”, not “google.com”, and if that isn’t enough of a hint for the target, googleusercontent.com won’t be either. In fact, people have heard of Google Drive. They know that means it isn't from Google. "googleusercontent" could be "Google content intended for users" for all someone knows.

So, I disagree here. The well-known name of Google Drive as a user file sharing service is much more meaningful as a warning at a glance.

There are also mitigations that could be put in place for file sharing, like requiring the user to have accepted a file sharing request from that account before (via Google sent notification email) for a direct link to actually work. This would be a great thing to have in place regardless of domain, for defense in depth. Unsolicited links to private files arguably should not work.

Obviously people may have different opinions on this stuff.
Interesting. It will obviously take off _because Google_ but since they're heavily influcened by the Rust syntax, why not just learn Rust instead.

They'll need to get it into Compiler Explorer so people can really look at codegen rather than porting small programs.
C'mon Jack, the resin fume high is like a bonus! :-)

That fiber reinforced Bondo is some pretty nasty stuff in the fume dept. If you really wanted to go that direction you could vent out a window or use some active carbon filtration I presume. But it starts adding up, depending on the quality you need you might also need a pressure/vacuum vessel as well and a pump.

I've managed without, for my micro volume of personal stuff I do.
> FWIW, ArrayList is a List, backed by Arrays.

You probably know that, but just to clarify: it's backed by a single array, reallocated repeatedly, just like std::vector in C++ (although growth factors are different, I think).

Just "List" probably risks that some people will jump to the conclusion that it's a linked list. I'd probably prefer the full "ArrayList". Although personally I'd use something like "DynArray"/"DynamicArray".

I’m pretty sure cosmonauts still carry guns.
The whole concept of "base load" is wrong. Electric networks need to provide exactly as much power as demmanded at any point in time to remain stable. "Base load" was just a statistical construct to determine which fraction of the total load is constant and can consequently served by slow power plants. Like nuclear and coal. To maintain a stable grid, you always needed quick power plants like gas and water.

Yes, solar and wind will need to be accompanied by lets call them "on-demand" power sources, like gas, water, in the future large-scale storage and of course power2gas for entirely renewal gas production.

By the way, the "base load" was artificially increased in the past to accommodate the mainly slow power plants. This is no longer a requirement, future loads will be more dynamic and more adjusted to the market offers.
This feels like a no win ...

We reduce nuclear energy use to avoid things like radioactive waste, etc.

Bad actors like Putin p!ss on attempts to go renewable.

We go nuclear.

Bad actors like Putin p!ss on attempts to use nuclear safely (by doing X).

Repeat

At some point, you have to deal with the bad actor.

And no, I don't have any solutions.
I think the point is that what used to be cultural staples of American Society for families have now become more expensive. Going to free concerts as a young couple (along with other cheap dates) is actually also somewhat expected and if the pop culture references and stories from Boomers/GenXer are true, also a staple of American Society.

That being said, going to Disneyland wasn’t a frequent trip kind of thing to most Americans anyways, and the Disneyland of the 60s and 70s is downright unrecognizable at times (chainlink fences at the park entrance). I think the article could have done without the Disneyland reference.
> Since the Ukraine crisis the EU is relabeling everything ESG:

This discussion was already happening before the war in Ukraine, it probably helped both gas and nuclear getting labeled as green though.
The full quote in question: "Science, since time immemorial, has relied on the systemic replication of any presented result or finding."

This is wrong, plain and simple. It paints a picture of necessary and sufficient conditions for scientific progress which are incorrect.

- The vast majority of "results and findings" is not looked at anybody other than the researchers directly involved. If you have 5 people on a paper, be sure at at best 3 of them have seen actual data, or were even involved in the experiment.

- Where is the systemic replication, exactly? Replication rates vary considerably across fields. And, of course, only selected results are replicated.

- If there was a systemic replication of "any result and finding", how is it possible that there is a replication crisis at all? Should the bad apples not have been found long ago?

If science would, in fact, rely on such a system, doing replications would be a normal part of everyday scientific work. It is not, not by a long shot.

So you can conclude that either science is not happening at all (not sure when it did though), or that the quoted premise is incorrect.
The other piece of this that isn't accounted for is the demand on family budgets that didn't previously exist - cable, internet, cell phones, streaming services, higher grocery prices, higher insurance costs. The family budget is getting squeezed hard before any of these pleasant weekend outings or vacations. And then when you do get to the park, concessions, upgrades and other upsells make the entry-level experience feel subpar.

Weird choice for a "stop all radios" toggle to not stop a certain radio.
IMO even from the 'nosebleeds' a live game is better than the TV experience, because you can see all the action. The broadcast version generally follows the ball, so you can never see what the runners are doing.
What interest me the most is whether old friends would actually pass today's low thresholds (which seem to get lower over time in my case)
Higher pay usually can get someone to take the position, but if it does so by getting someone to leave their job at one of your competitors to fill your opening it has just shifted the shortage from you to your competitor.

If you are in a competitive market and you were able to raise pay, your competitors will probably be able to raise pay too, and so they will also raise pay to fill their shortages. Someone will raise pay to be higher than yours and then you are the one gaining a shortage to provide a worker to fill someone else's shortage.

Net short term result: you and your competitors still have shortages, but are now all paying more, and are possibly in a feedback loop that will continue to raise pay without fixing your staffing problems. You may have to raise prices, and then not only did raising pay fail to solve your staffing problems it increased inflation.

Whether or not that is also the medium or long term result depends on how easy it is and how long it takes for the new higher pay in your industry to bring in new workers to your field instead of just shuffling existing workers between companies.

Even if it does bring new workers to your field if those come from other fields it might be shifting the shortages to those other fields, which might then go through their own cycles of raising pay that only accomplishes shuffling shortages between them.
Most of the resistance I’ve seen against vaccines have been against ones that are highly beneficial relative to their risks. Have you seen pushback against ones that weren’t?

I’ve literally seen folks push back against Tetanus, Polio, MMR, etc.
I imagine Glassdoor is reacting to the situation and is going on the "Better to get out part of the solution now than wait to get everything out perfectly" which I would agree with.
>> The differentiator here is national security,

> Which means that all countries other than the US also should be banning Facebook, and most US companies.

Like many sibling comments have already pointed out, many do.

But the answer to your statement is "no." You're trying to pull an oversimple rule out of a pithy comment and neglecting other important distinctions. It's not just a black/white distinction like foreign country vs. domestic, but more more nuanced one like enemy country vs adversary country vs neutral country vs allied country vs domestic. The answer to the question "should country X ban Facebook for national security reasons" will be different for different countries based on their context.
Why do you have such a hard on for China or tiktok? As it is, the sword only cuts one-way. A Chinese social media company gets unfiltered access to western markets and populace but China wont allow the same in return. That's not a fair deal; so I say ban tiktok until China decides western social media companies can operate inside China with the same level of freedom that tiktok operates outside China.
> By pulling out of nuclear, they poured billions in ENRs much earlier that other countries.

That's a bit dual sided. Germany basically let France be their "battery" with it's nuclear reactors.

Germany also ensured that on the EU energy market energy out of renewables had to be bought first. Meaning that nuclear reactors became less profitable while Germany conveniently relied on them when there was low wind or low sun. That was quite a scummy move.
Have guns been tested for those temperature swings, or the primers and other explosive components? Do they off gas in zero atmosphere?
