> Blazor is in development and will only get better.

How good can it get though?
Blazor WASM suffers from the huge initial, multi-megabyte download of the .NET runtime. How is that expected to come down to something in the range of 50-500kb what we have with most JS frameworks now? I just cannot do that on public-facing parts of an application. It is unusable when accessed from a slow mobile network. Company-internal stuff sure, who cares.

I really wanted to love Blazor, and evaluated replacing some of the complex frontend UIs at work which are a JS nightmare with either Blazor Serverside or WASM.
But serverside seems like an afterthought to me. I recently learned about Phoenix Liveview here on HN, and according to what I read, it seems like a much better option if you want that server-side rendering stream model. With Blazor-server, I get the feeling it is only a makeshift-solution until WASM takes off, and that makes me even more reluctant to use it.
That would work great but I just feel that people should be informed that all of the UV is blocked by windows, and even though it's clear that too much UV is deadly over time, it's also clear that the tiny amounts that many people who spend almost all time indoors get is very insufficient.

But if I am reading this then maybe those atriums would provide the full spectrum light. It sounds like a really good architectural concept.

It does seem like fusion research based on tokamak or stellerator designs will yield usable power first.
I think that actually made more sense. In a power outage the bumps were the only backup. I had seen it used once at a petrol station. While there is close to no situation where a chip payment or nfc couldn’t be used.

One difference is the short term rental investment mania.

A lot of people are heavily leveraged based on STR income and free-money loans.

If that market dips due to a recession, we'll see a flood of panic selling to get out of upside down notes. Selling at a loss could be ok depending on how the property performed prior to the constricted market.

With increased interest rates and an inventory surplus, if the price of lumber drops we could be facing a pretty intense market correction in home values.

As a biker myself, I was always taught that when riding a bike you are responsible for your own safety. This means you should always be taking in as much information as you can in order to make escape plans in the event of something unexpected. Getting rear-ended like this is an absolute nightmare scenario. Even though the relative velocity between the vehicles is small, even the slightest bump to your back wheel will almost certainly cause you to hit the tarmac[1], and often on a freeway you have limited escape routes because you may not be able to change lanes safely and if a car comes up behind you fast you may not be able to accelerate away from them.

Autopilot (as I understand it) is a lane-following dynamic cruise control so should have detected the bike and slowed down on approach. Human beings have a weakness in their stereoscopic vision where because their eyes are not far apart they can’t accurately tell the speed of a narrow object (like a bike) if it’s travelling towards or away from them. It seems like this should not be a problem with a car (because you can put the cameras on either side of the vehicle for example), but I wonder whether Teslas detectors or software have weaknesses with narrow objects.

[1] And even though with good gear you can skid along the road relatively safely, other cars are bound to hit you.
To just arbitrarily redefine autopilot for cars as something that can avoid accidents isn't a good argument. You are supposed to still have awareness when using autopilot in an airplane, ship - paying attention to things like radar, radio, ADSB, e.t.c. And in a Tesla, you are supposed to pay attention visually.

Full self driving is still in beta test, with present dangers that you have to accept.

All the accidents that happen with Tesla autopilot use are driver error, full stop. Just like its driver error to get drunk and drive, or be looking down at a phone distracted, and rear end a motorcycle. As someone who rides, Id rather have roads full of Teslas with FSD, because for every time it fucks up there are vastly more times for it to avoid an accident, given that you are not going to get rid of drunk, high, or distracted drivers.
"The car is supposed to drive itself based on solved captcha or an army of people trying to label everything??"

You're learning is a little bit off. Self driving cars are not a big truck. It's a series of tubes.
> I saw Zed Shaw do a presentation using factor and decided to spend a weekend playing with it.

I saw the same presentation back then and also spent a weekend with factor. It was a really valuable experience. The language was so different from anything I had previously used that I had to learn a new way of thinking. That was a great thing to go through.

Slava Pestov (the creator of factor) did a presentation on the language at Google back in the 2000s. A highlight from the talk was him explaining that there was a function 'boa' that you could call to construct an object 'by order of arguments'. He called it "a boa constructor." :)

And mainstream environmentalists condemned eco-terrorists and mainstream animal rights activists condemned the militant actions of Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty.

I'm sure mainstream climate activates will also condemn militant actions in the name of CO2 emissions.

But as the video points out, people talk about the non-violent civil rights movement, and ignore the militant civil rights movement. ("A riot is the language of the unheard"); ignore the militancy of the suffragette movement in the UK; etc.

The question is: why do/did all of these movements have/had a militant arm willing to break the law, while the modern anti-global warming doesn't. gus_massa suggested it was due to the risk of being caught, fined, and punished.

Which doesn't make sense to me given the examples I listed of people willing to risk much more severe consequences in the name of their causes.
That depends. There’s probably more loaded into memory after being unlocked. Likely more vulnerable to an attack.

> I don't think a dichotomy of options between respecting every fringe idea and civil war is all there is.

Yes but extremism leads to either extremes. You don't respect a belief because you agree with it, to take the classic atheist strawman of a "sphagetti monster" of course that is ridiculous but if people in my area all believe in that and elect such a believer then I better move or get busy trying to convince those people (my neighbors) otherwise.

> We need institutions closer to the people...

Can't agree with you more. The technology both for communication and transport exists to have many more legislative representatives and more frequent election cycles.

> However I don't think they had a choice.

Perhaps they wouldn't have an option to contradict the church at the time in public but they didn't have to display and document their piery and dedication to their fairh either. Many even believed their work was an extension of their faith not s contradiction of it.

> That's not my intention, however if beliefs cannot be questioned there's a bigger problem at hand

I was refering to actual insults not anything you said. You can question a persons beliefs if they are willing to have that discussion with you. But you shouldn't publicly mock them or insult them or their belief beyond a respectful discourse between willing participants.
"If there are trillions in the pot"

There are always trillions in the pot, because the UK is a sovereign country with its own currency. Money is never the issue.

Therefore it's only overnight costs that matter in a build (and hitting the deadline). The real issue is one of manpower and stuff. We don't make solar panels in the UK. We will make SMRs. Therefore we're not reliant on Chinese manufacture, or the whims of export markets to fund them. A problem we're currently having with gas and oil.

To have security of energy supply over time you have to be as decoupled from world markets as possible. We don't want to be in the situation where we're relying on China for replacement advanced manufactures to keep the lights on.

Solar has no reliable capacity in winter in the UK unfortunately. You wouldn't want to rely on solar with several weeks of grey miserable UK winter weather even with storage. The same with wind, which is still suffering from a degradation in capacity due to the as yet unexplained overall reduction in wind speeds - which may itself be a result of climate change.

IMO Python and C# are not comparable. Python is at best a simple scripting language, you really can't build anything globally scalable on it. No offense to people who use Python daily, just my own observations (probably wrong).

What you and the parent comment are saying is incredibly interesting. Do you have any recommended reading regarding this?
Unless the book colours are already chosen to achieve this.
A nudge has to push the user towards one certain decision over another, that's the whole point. It's opinionated. The factors I listed aren't inherently opinionated, we could've tried to improve them without pushing the user to a specific choice:

E.g. speed: We could've removed earlier parts of the onboarding to make the overall experience less long, or compacted the UI so it was visually easier to skim the choices.

Expertise: we could've assured the user before the choice, that all options were good cause we're the experts and that we would've give you a bad option - so don't agonise.

Cognitive load: We could've reduced the info we showed about each option, or hidden it away behind a modal, or re-written it in plain english. The legal team told us we had to use the legal descriptions of the choices, which included technical language.

Confusion: We could've made an visualisation of the impact of their choice, that changed as they swapped between each option - showing them them a more tangible outcome of their choice. It was a complicated concept to get, so the addition of a visual aid instead of just written descriptions might've helped.

To be clear - I'd be surprised if these things would've worked, and I'm certain setting a default made a difference. The point I'm making is that I don't know for sure how much of a difference. The change to implement the default, by my eyes, also improved the overall design in these other ways as well. We didn't isolate it down to exactly what made the improvement, we were just happy it happened.

The point I'm making is you could quickly skim read this story of a team stuck on a problem, who after implementing defaults found their conversion rates jumped 11x holy shiiiiiiii- and it sounds like it's all thanks to nudge theory. It's exactly like a case study you'd see in a co-design agency's portfolio.

But in the actual real messy world of designing interfaces, it's just always a bit more complicated than that. No change is truly isolated, tested in a controlled, academic fashion. You just design your best shot each time and see what works. Because of this, it's hard to truly definitively say an improvement was because of a nudge. Best I can do is, "I mean probably" haha.
Honestly I've found F# pretty OK to use compared to some other languages, especially when not using Visual Studio on a non-Windows machine where F# IMO is the better choice. Given a cross-development experience in some of the more recent .NET teams I've been in (great that this is finally occurring btw) especially the Mac developers using VS Code prefer F#. After using it the feedback is that the experience on F#, especially since with F# Resharper is not necessary to function/develop, is preferable over C# (i.e. "its more of a scripting language").

My observation is that the ex JS/Ruby/etc devs learning curve's seem to favor F# over C# as it is more like these languages. There's just a lot less to learn, and the coding style (e.g. modules, function first, etc) is more synonymous with langs like JS than heavy OO languages. I've recently inherited a team that moved to .NET from JS, and getting them to try C# has been painful especially when using things like ASP.NET. There's a lot of knowledge I just took for granted - we don't realise how much knowledge is required to use standard Java/C# OO in a production like setting that many dev's stumbled on when they were junior but have long forgotten the learning curve they went through. They tend to be framework heavy/dependent and require much more experience. From patterns (what's a strategy, repository, etc etc), to dep injection frameworks, to which refactoring tools I need, etc, etc - where in F# in my recent experience the experience is more, but still not quite "just code and work it out as you go".

The pit of success favors F# over C# in my experience with these teams especially if you keep it simple with the features used.

My experience has been that F# appeals to coders who are using the .NET platform coming from languages like JS/Go/etc but also has static typing who usually at least in the jobs I've been in are often on a Mac. C# dev's typically come from Java/C# enterprise kind of shops. Not one is better than the other and I will work in whatever space has interesting problems to solve - I think the difference is more cultural than technical.

- Neuroscience: Andrew Huberman | https://www.youtube.com/c/AndrewHubermanLab

Absolute Gem and really sparked my curiosity of human biology. He spends a lot of time going over the neuroscience literature, essentially giving a lecture. It's quite dense, but a lot of practical advice you can apply which is backed by science.

- History: Oversimplified | https://www.youtube.com/c/OverSimplified

A comedically narrated hyper summary of historical events. It made me very interested in learning more about events of the French revolutions, the founding of USA and it's civil wars, and more. For more depth, highly recommend the OG podcast hardcore history.

- Construction: B1M | https://www.youtube.com/c/Theb1mGoogle/featured

Lots of interesting videos about the development of unique structures.
I recently found out Lex Fridman's podcast and I thoroughly enjoy it. Episodes I listened to are Jack Barsky, Stephen Kotkin, and currently the one with Neal Stephenson. He interviews a broad spectrum of people, about a myriad of topics. I skipped the CEOs though some here may find interview with Zuck or Elon interesting.
In Australia, we shorten the name for all sorts of things, so "maccas" is in line with the general theme. More examples (not sure if some of these are found everywhere or not):

* Barbeque: barbie

* Ambulance: ambo (often used to refer to the ambulance staff -- I'm not even sure what they're called other than 'ambos'!)

* Breakfast: brekky

* Afternoon: arvo

* Cup of coffee: cuppa

* Registration for car: rego

* Woolworth's (supermarket): Woolies

* Service station: servo

> The [government] does not regulate [blank], so caveat emptor.

I find this point of view so rude, tone deaf even.

"caveat emptor" only applies if you personally believe humans are entirely responsible for their own actions and can't possibly be manipulated or scammed by others. That, or you think this is likely (and it is) but you simply don't care about these people and think that this is the market correcting for "dumb consumers".

Or maybe you think the laws of the land define how we should behave to one another? Anything not made explicit by "the law" is thus meant to be ignored? Not your problem?

I'm sorry, it's just the sort of thing some one who benefits from the lack of regulation would say. It sounds biased - like you're trying to justify some venture of your own that is also "unregulated, so caveat emptor".

Let me guess, cryptocurrency enthusiast?

Anyway I say all this because there _are_ better arguments against government regulation. But caveat emptor is just saying "fuck government regulation, it doesn't let me screw people over as much". You might convince more people if your do a bit of research (and maybe don't assume everyone simply agrees with caveat emptor - this is the tone deaf bit).
I got 47 deaths per day from the roughly 17,000 fatalities that are directly attributed to drunk driving each year[1]. Even if we arbitrarily halve that to account for at-fault deaths at drivers' own hands, that leaves ~23 people dying, each day, because of drunks on our roads.

In contrast, around 300 people died in total on public transportation in 2020[2]. In 2019, 34 million people commuted daily by public transportation[3].

By contrast, around 76% of American commuters drive to work[4]. Assuming that "commutes to work" is the same as "employed," that means 76% of 158 million[5], or around 120 million driving commuters.

In other words: 4 times as many people commute by car than by public transport, but at least 20 times as many die each day just via the canonical example of unsafety on public transport. And the actual ratio is likely far higher, since the best number I could find for public transport fatalities (under 1/day) is not filtered by accident, suicide, crime, natural causes, &c. Thus the claim: the things that people claim to fear about public transport are far more real as dangers when commuting by car.

What I find interesting about Xi is his father who was instrumental in introducing free market to China through the province he was in charge of Guandong or Guangzhou (?) who wanted to create self-reliant city governance by inviting limited test run of foreign capital in return for labor produce.

Deng Xiaoping quickly recognized its potential and essentially took credit for this model that allowed China to catapult itself onto the world stage.

I can only imagine his ambitions growing up, he's family suffered under the cultural revolution, he's father was sidelined and others took credit for what essentially transformed China.

He was originally chosen as a candidate to replace Hu, after the March 2012 coup d'etat that led to the imprisonment of Bo Xilai and Zhou Yongkang. He was picked because he was predicted to be a lame duck but what transpired as you see was the political war launched to remove/reduce Ziang Zemin's grip on power.

The internal struggles of the CCP and Xi's family history is very interesting but what I find even more interesting is how much the American media attacks Xi because Jiang Zemin has lot of friends in this area.
