> I just wrote one quick example of the effects that belief in creationism roughly correlate with.

Do you think that "burn down all the trees because Jesus is coming," is a common attitude among creationists?

If you do, it seems like an unwarranted leap without more data. IMHO, there's nothing about believing that the world was created 10,000 years ago that implies the end of the world is very imminent, and the kind attitudes you describe only make sense that context.

In any case, my intuition says that various kinds of quotidian short-term thinking and unwillingness to make personal sacrifices would be much bigger cause for rejecting environmentalism than any kind of hard ideological reasoning (like religion).

And in this case, the imminent doomsday argument for anti-environmentalism really feels like a backwards justification for policy preferences chosen for other reasons.
No, I think that the simplistic take still has the sting of truth about it.

As https://news.vanderbilt.edu/2018/09/14/age-race-and-gender-s... says, demographics of party support are that the Republican base is dominated by older men, while the Democratic base is dominated by younger women. Therefore Republicans really are going to have an institutional bias against issues that affect young women.

This can be seen by Republican opposition to abortion, childcare issues, and vaccinating against HPV (which causes cancer in women).

He seems to be doing ok. Quotes from Brad Frost. Revenues of ~$700k. I'm not sure that much sabotage going on, tbh ;-)
> everything is just generally "nicer".

This is also a big contributor to the rising costs of:

* Housing
* Food
* Construction

Which all make regular appearances on HN as people wonder why they all cost more.

Safety standards are higher, quality standards are higher, convenience standards are higher.

Someone buying a house in the 1950's would have gotten an empty kitchen, no washer or dryer, no granite countertops, no detailing in the back yard.

Meals were simpler - 2 or 3 ingredients, mostly stock items, all local.

Roads and buildings are built to last longer, have fewer externalities, with more accessibility options for pedestrians, better energy utilization, etc.
So you propose turning every mountain valley into an environmentally destructive storage battery? If we are willing to do that, why not just invest more in hydro power, since one of the big limits is the public's low tolerance for the environmental damage it causes? If we are just ignoring that damage or ignoring the public, why not build out basic hydro and not 'pumped storage'?
Get off my porch.

Man let people have fun. I've been to Disney World a couple of times. It's not that fun with all the crowds and lines and such. We all have our own idea of fun. Mine is with friends and families having a low stress day at a water park, nature hike, minor league sports event and not worrying about bragging rights after the "adventure".
a multipolar world means more instability and wars, though. When you say it will "insure competition", that means conflict for sure.
Not sure you're pretending to miss the point of parents comment or not, but in case you're not:

They're obviously not talking about the current war waged by Russia but instead talking about the lack of nuclear reactors in the US.
You only need to overbuild the total energy requirement + the inefficiency cost of H2. Then you generate + store H2.
One hopes, but I think the Democratic party has shown enough times that it will gladly shoot itself in the foot if it somehow means owning the progressives.
I don't know how to tell you this, but other people are different from you.

The world is full of people who have families and lives and they are not just shallow copies of you.

Just because something isn't to your liking or understanding doesn't mean it's bad or wrong.
College baseball is very granularly regional in a way that football and basketball aren't; if you're near a good college team, you know it for sure.

I'm in this data set. I've shared the Stripe revenue for my web app with Indie Hackers. It brings in about $3000 USD a month.

It's not a big amount of money, but I keep going because I believe the app has potential to do much larger numbers. Also because I generally dislike working for other people.
Rust is like c++ but only the new way to doing c++ is huge rust is like subset of c++ and ownership model.
I thing is the right way c++ is harder than rust only because is so bloated.
Carbon seams less bloated "fork" of c++ whit only the new way of doing things, but allow you full interoperability whit all c++, instead of partial and i don't see ownership, i thing is taxing mentally (worth or not depends).
if i work in c++ i totally will use this.
Good insight! That being said, the only baseball stadiums I've been to are the 2 in NY, Philly, and San Diego so don't have the national insight.

The Yankees do Pinstripe passes where you get a beer and a seat for X dollars which tends to be a good deal
Sounds like something they would 'have' to use all the time. It's not like wind and sunshine was about to start powering the German industrial machine all on it's own any time soon.

Probably biased but reminds me of a recent talk by a Polish nuclear scientist explaining how this gas infrastructure is much more expensive than most people imagine. And it has to be regularly updated. So, if we are to factor in that cost, then brand new nuclear infrastructure and nuclear conversion isn't that much more.
I see 10g in that document, no?

Also, it's important to distinguish the acceleration along the axis (much easier to handle) from the perpendicular acceleration which is caused by aggressive maneuvering.

Also, Iskander is a short range ballistic missile, it is not the equivalent of the Minuteman. I don't think there is anything anywhere else that's closely comparable in capabilities to the Iskander.
From the "Why build Carbon?" section:

> The best way to address these problems is to avoid inheriting the legacy of C or C++ directly, and instead start with solid language foundations like a modern generics system, modular code organization, and consistent, simple syntax.

That last part seems to imply that the authors don't consider C++ syntax to be a good foundation for a modern successor language, so they chose to change it. As to why change it in a Rust-like direction I'd imagine that it's both because it's what fashionable at the time and possibly to attract people who are already familiar with that style.
And also the Spanish and French. When discussing 16th-18th century North America, encompassing the slave trade as being started by Europeans is not inaccurate.
Agreed. Are there advantages to this over say Firefox Web Developer Tools, where not only can you see the css as you hover but actually edit the css to see the changes? What am I missing? If there are benefits, I'm not sure the site is doing a very good job of selling them.
There is also the 25% "Chicken Tax"[1] on imported light trucks started in 1964 and still in force today. Domestic auto manufactures were highly motivated to get the public to buy trucks/SUVs instead of cars for the last 60 years and they did a pretty good job at it.

In my experience, all statements like "if everybody did {thing that I could do, and claim to be a social virtue}..." about energy / economic / environmental problems are 99% performative virtue. Even if they don't require Weihnachtsmann to take care a major "would not scale well" issue or ten, they almost universally assume that the great majority of "everybody" enjoys economic, housing, employment, etc. circumstances quite similar to the person making the statement.
Look at the recent reporting around Shinzo Abe's death in Japan for a really good example of different libel laws. In Japan the burden of proof lies with the entity publishing the information.

A lot of the initial headlines were things like "Abe collapses at rally, shots heard" even though the article itself had a video of him getting shot and then falling down. Others just had a headline that equated to "Abe collapses during rally, currently in critical condition" without even mentioning a shooter.

Here's an interesting article about it: https://www.tofugu.com/japan/sued-in-japan/
That's pretty interesting, and TBH I would probably watch a tie-in post apoc movie featuring Tom Hanks driving around a heavily-kitbashed version of whatever the new Scout is.
It's been a hot minute (like 20 years), but the Maryland Six Flags used to stay open until 8 or 9 PM in the summer and I could ride the coasters with basically no wait (waterpark was closed, though).
I don't know if you have children, but my kids will not generally go 3 hours without eating without getting grumpy, no. As an aside, they are not fat (and neither am I). Ball games are also frequently scheduled at meal times (around noon for day games or around 6pm for night games). You may want to also consider that your comment comes across as pretty insulting.
> Germany’s nuclear phase-out was prompted by Japan’s Fukushima nuclear power disaster in 2011.

What's interesting here is how Germany's public policy is swaying in the winds of current events. First it was Japan's experience that triggered the country to pull the plug on nuclear. Now it's the Ukraine war triggering them to plug that sucker back in.

Sacrificing the long term for the short was in former times described as a characteristically American problem. I remember reading article after article about how far-sighted the European governments were. How they built consensus across public and private sectors, working on a scale of many years rather than just one quarter. How much better equipped they were to weather bad times.

It turns out all democracies face similar problems (The People want benefits without pain), but good times create illusions to the contrary for a while.

You do not need to manuver to hit a carrier? 35mph is "slow" relative to a missle, and a carrier takes literally minutes to speed up / slow down / turn. You can math out and shoot a literal cannonball and hit a moving 35MPH carrier within a few inches...
Yeah, because you don't need resources for all that heaters.
I'm gonna be honest: I don't get the outrage over Copilot. To me, it's obviously totally unobjectionable. If journalists were getting outraged that their newspaper columns were being consumed as GPT training data, we'd correctly call that silly: it's public text now, so long as you're not reproducing it verbatim and thus violating copyright, users can consume it for whatever purpose they see fit.
Ah yes, the "war on fossil fuels" in which oil prices today are lower than they were 10 years ago. Nice try.
CS degree holder here who had many CE/EE friends who switched from CE/EE to CS (Rutgers University).

One thing that used to blow my mind was the difference between logical circuit design in CS vs CE/EE.

E.g. if the task was "Build a circuit to do X logic using these components AND, OR, XOR etc"

- In CS, it was " Please use the common shapes for each component"

- In CE/EE, it was "Please use the EXACT part code for EACH and EVERY component you use!"

I remember thinking: "Isn't the key lesson to learn the logic flow design vs being able to lookup each and every party number?? Is the EE department trying on purpose to get rid of people?"

You could make the argument that forcing people to do the detail but boring work is a good filter for people who are REALLY serious about EE but I would argue that there have to be better ways to do that.
Did you speed read this article? They weren't measuring whether speed reading itself works, rather whether bionic reading works for speed reading.
> This situation of cat-and-mouse hostility

I think you could refine your point here.. markets include adverse negotiation, secure applications are a thing, and for that matter, weapons making is a thing. You can't "wish away" that part.

I have a colleague who makes secure DRM for FAANG since long ago, and has a large house and successful middle-class life from it.
It would be kinder to view the French nuclear industry as a subsidy enabling a skilled workforce for the military side and their nuclear submarines, carriers and weapons.

In that view it all makes sense, especially that the government still does not publish how much it costs to generate the electricity. Only the subsidized rates the public pays.
The runway melts at 40C? Call me skeptical.
I can see how OP means just that. Nuclear construction went from skyrocketing to free fall after Ronda’s starring in The China Syndrome led her to become an anti-nuclear hyperevangelist. People listened to her and the Three Mile Island incident shortly thereafter could plausibly be said to have been blown way out of proportion with her amplifying voice.

It’s not unreasonable to think that if that movie and Fonda’s anti-nuclear bent never happened, nuclear would have become so profligate that nothing Putin did would have given him a hold over the Western energy sector.
Ignoring the folly of the automobile being the only way to travel, and that independent mobility is all but dead in the United States, you are not the target of regulations like this. The target is needlessly large vehicles that do little but to stoke the ego of the owner, or maybe simply being another step up in the SUV safety arms race.

You mentioned education, and I assume you attended public schools, because 10 tuitions sound like a lot (and homeschooling sounds impossible). I'm amazed your parents were able to afford to feed you well, but good for them.

But how on earth were you supervised. I guess one parent must have been stay-at-home. Which means the other had to earn an income for the whole dozen of you? Did you ever see that parent (seriously, did they have to work 80+ hrs a week?)

> Are you saying some of us should have been put in the notoriously abusive foster care system

I think if you have 10 kids, then someone checking in to make sure that the kids are being fed, supervised, educated becomes a thing that probably needs to happen. If your parents were able to pull it off, great. I just doubt many parents could.
Different people will have different opinions on which parts and aspects of a book are worthwhile or not. Books that were worthwhile to me ten years ago may not be worthwhile to me today, or in ten years, and vice versa. I don’t expect AI to be able to adequately address that anytime soon.
Personally, I think the biggest problem with "the algorithm" is the fact that it is an algorithm. People often distinguish between things that they enjoy and things that they would recommend to others, but algorithms aren't easily able to make that distinction.

However, all of what I just talked about is just a hypothesis and I'd be curious about how it works out for you and what traits it shares with other recommendation engines and what ends up being more unique. For example, does your algorithm just end up pushing for engagement (which also tends to push towards showing extremist content), or is it less likely to get caught up in rabbit holes?

Thanks for the article, I didn't know climate models estimated EU will have less wind, I expected we would get more wind.

That being said, the article is pretty low on numbers. The only actual number shown is -32% in UK. Which can totally be overcome by having 5x overproduction in whole of Europe.
> And it doesn't change the fact that real experiences of actual people are completely missing from the discussion here. I mean, if you want to take your position, where is the discussion from the pro-life crowd about people who weren't aborted and appreciate that? Or the people who decided against an abortion and what changed their mind? That would be a good discussion to have too and would reify the whole philosophical debate. But that's absent as well!

And rightly so, because there's not much that's going to be accomplished by arguing from cherry-picked anecdotes. Moreover, the perspectives of women who have deep trauma and regret for their abortions have been firmly pushed out of the public debate for my entire life (indeed, for as long as I've been alive, the "debate" has only been pro-choice people arguing against straw men).

> And I'm sorry it so frustrates you that you believe minorities are used at proxies to advance views that are predominately held by white liberals and find it so disrespectful, but a lot of people also feel that you championing the government to control our bodies is indeed very disrespectful, so there's enough disrespect to go around.

Honestly, if you can't participate without inflaming the discussion in each of your comments, maybe just take a beat before commenting?
We need to start facing the fact that PII just isn't private.

what about the centralization aspects of nuclear power?

there's no way nuclear can be decentralized, even with relatively tiny reactors, the waste management requires too much discipline.

If the Japanese couldn't avoid a disaster, and considering discipline would come easy to them, I don't think nuclear can ever be truly safe and distributed.

solar and wind are more resistant to centralization.

Doesn't seem too embarrassing, they've hit several locations with high concentrations of foreign mercenaries and weapon stores with them. Mercenaries who survived reported that the incoming missile detection systems didn't go off at all.

Additionally, an active war is the perfect time to test out new weapons systems. Plus there's no signs that Russia is running out of conventional missiles or other munitions: https://rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/commentar...

And remember, Ukrainian air defense is mostly made up of upgraded Soviet (Russian) systems which just prove that the S-x00 and others are work well. And regarding the Moskva - it was a sitting duck, and an old duck with very outdated systems.

I don't think it's terribly hyperbolic. OP wants to get rid of something he doesn't use and presents a black-and-white statement for why it's rational, but SUVs have so many proponents that the govt'd have to override all of them without their opinion weighing in to get it passed as law before they had a chance to kick you out of office. (See, say, the efforts in the 1970s to get the USA to use the metric system as an example.)

Is it possible? Yes, that's why I used the weasel words of "don't really happen" instead of "don't ever happen".

I also pointed out that the more likely way to get OP's way would be to continue raising taxes on those vehicles to illicit the same result without outright making SUVs illegal to produce.
> an integrated Ethernet interface, which allowed it to interface itself with outside worlds with negligible latency

Yes, the MPI ping-pong latency I measured between x2200s was the lowest I ever saw for 1GbE. However, the motherboards in them were a disaster area (unlike any other Sun kit I ever saw).
I feel the same way. Add to that the plethora of "C++ bad" memes that every software engineer is throwing around as soon as they get a whiff of anything remotely resembling C++ - I've made my peace with the fact that I'm in a tiny minority of people who think it's generally a great language that is worthy of further development and improvement instead of abandonment.
I've often read on HN people accusing developers of being complicit and asking how anybody could agree to do XY&Z. This is one place where I am left asking the same question.

How could this ever be anything except anti-user? Link shorteners are one thing, and random unique IDs in a URL are understandable, but in what world does encrypting the URL do anything except harm the user?
I understand how it can happen, but the original poster wrote in such a way that this would be inevitable. I don't think that is certain.

Benefiting from cooperation doesn’t mean something is or is not zero sum. Take war for example. I can team up with others to form an army and conqueror distant lands. By cooperating, everyone in the army benefits more than they could individually, but the source of those benefits comes from the zero-sum expense of others.

The only source (I can think of) of positive sum benefits is innovation. I can, for example, take iron ore, learn how to smelt steel, and use steel to get more iron ore. Smelting iron is still zero-sum, but learning how to smelt iron is what increases the size of the pie.
Spray it with water?
From what I've read batteries are the preferred option for short-term zero-emissions levelling but once you get into longer term stuff you start looking at storing compressed air or hydrogen in salt caverns. But hydrogen cracking/storage as a grid-level utility is still at the experimental stage.
That sounds like it can/should be solved using reusable parts of a design system though.
