I don't. I think the generation before me misprioritized their fear and decided to block progress on nuclear fission, which implicitly supported the continued expansion of carbon fuel burning, to the detriment of future generations. It's an observation of historical fact, not a future decision.

> I think we should prioritize our planet over economy and lifestyle.

I think we should prioritize the continuance of civilization over the planet.

The planet and life on it will be perfectly fine after we're gone. It's been through drastically worse.

> Maybe because giving up the nukes wasn't the only condition for the sovereignty of the state that USSR (and Russia as a successor) granted to your leaders on peaceful terms in 1991? Remember, your country didn't have to fight a war for its sovereignty, the peaceful transition of a regional power was one of the greatest achievements of that generation.

Tonnes of other soviet block countries joined NATO with no issues whatsoever only reason Russia took issue with Ukraine is that they thought they could win a war against them, if only they didn’t drink their own Russian strong too much they might of won instead of having their military destroyed for the next 10 years.

Russia tried to keep its influence over Ukraine and ban anyone from trying to free them from Russias grasp. This was never going to work because we all know Russia never keeps its promises anyway.

> Maybe the modern Ukrainian elites and the current president shouldn't have been frivolously contemplating the idea of joining a military bloc [1]. Maybe they shouldn't have been frivolously contemplating the idea of obtaining nukes either [2], maybe they shouldn't have been saying that "The agreement is not an official treaty. It is neither legally binding nor does it carry an enforcement mechanism

Ukraine has made it obvious to all post soviet states that the only way to protect themselves from Russian wars of aggression(of which their are many) is by strong military alliances or perhaps nukes.

You cannot stamp your feet and be surprised when someone tries to protect themselves from their neighbour who has a habit of invading and annexing people just like you.

> our leaders should have known that your foundational documents predate the Budapest Memorandum, and they outline all conditions under which your sovereignty was guaranted [3]: "The Ukrainian SSR solemnly declares its intention to become a permanently neutral state in the future, which does not participate in military blocs and adheres to three non-nuclear principles: not to accept, not to produce, and not to acquire nuclear weapons."

Ukraines founding predates Russia itself. Ukraine is sovereign and no amount of feet stamping by the Russians will change this.

But if you think Russia is justified in its war go ahead and believe that but know that the vast majority of non dictatorships disagree with you.

Btw I’m not Ukrainian so they aren’t “my leaders”, i merely support them in their struggle for sovereignty against their neighbour who has conquered them once before and is once again trying to genocide them out of existence.
Finland. In Finland. According to Finnish authorities. Countries with East Block histories like Poland tend to not care as much what the actual science of the stuff is. Nor does the Nuclear Is Clean - crowd is seems. "Everything radiates; just look at the bonfire, it's radiation". Yeah, right.

> higher than average injury rates

We really need some kind of standard for how to present statistics in the news so that it’s not misleading.

If you take a bunch of numbers and average them together some will be higher than the average and some will be lower (unless they’re all the same number), because that’s how averages work.

What is the injury rate? How high is it? Is it an order of magnitude more? Is it one more than the average?

Just making vague scary sounding statements like “higher than average“ is nothing but manipulation.
A big problem with solar and wind is that they aren't dispatchable. A 100 MWe nuclear power plant fitting in the space of small local power plant isn't equivalent of a 100MW solar or wind plant - for my local area, the equivalent solar/wind plant is about a combination of few Gigawatts of nameplate capacity of solar and wind plants (allowing for very optimistic storage tech, it gets "down" to 1180 MW solar + 410 MW wind + 840 MWh battery at 170MW output + 50MW hydrogen turbine backed by 10186 MWh stored hydrogen. It's also 1.5x the cost of plonking EPR-based NPP.)

Depending on smoothing from elsewhere is going to be also tricky - already considerable amounts of money are being paid out for curtailment because the grid can't take it.
I feel like that's true, but the scale is misleading. We could run most of the things we need with very small chips production. A lot of usage could be removed (most of entertainment), lots of business use could be scaled down (how many businesses need basically a spreadsheet and a filing system equivalent). There will be special usage requiring hitech chips or course. But we can seriously scale down our electronics usage without a negative civilisation impact. The pocket device I write this on has enough power to run what an office of 10 people needs to properly run if we adjust the software to match.
Among other things, yes. And no IoT crap, for one.
A new tiling Window Manager for Windows – group and tile apps
Most people today are still learning to control their emotions, and since emotions dont exist in a still form, such people have to keep talking or moving. Some people are mastering thoughts at the moment, and few are learning to use intuition.

The 1st kungfu panda movie shows a great allegory on these three stages. Po is a beginner: his emotions, by virtue of their momentum, keep Po making talk endlessly and make lots of random moves that summarily achieve nothing. Shifu has mastered emotions, and is mastering thoughts: he knows lots of tricks, but he isn't wise, precisely because he is too busy with the tricks. Oogway shows how to use mind properly: he is balancing on a stick of attention, perfectly still, and is waiting for the voice of intuition; only when a droplet of wisdom falls on him, he engages his mind and with a few precise moves turns that droplet into knowledge.

Great scientists can switch between the two modes. Good ones are too busy with symbolic trickery and never hear the voice of intuition.
Spoilers for the game Celeste below:

This has a strong parallel with an important part of the plot.

Over the course of trying to climb the mountain the game is named after, you constantly run into your “dark self” and struggle against it. It insults you and tries to get you to stop give up and go home. At first you run from it, but then you start fighting it until you actually chase it.

Near the end, you have a moment where you learn the “dark self” cares about you deeply and is trying to protect you, albeit in a toxic way. Once you reconcile and work together, letting go of the fear, you finally reach the summit.
I'd always been frustrated with how little control Windows gives you over the apps you have open, and found it to be excessively taxing on my attention span to try to figure out how to get back to what I was last working on, without having to Alt + tab 10 times every time I flip to another application. I also always found the i3wm tiling solution on Linux to be elegant, but not practical for the average windows user with a lot of applications running 24/7. So I developed something in between - Hub Window Manager. The app starts by showing you all the apps currently running (the left hand side of the first screenshot), and from there, allows you to group those apps, where each group is automatically assigned a shortcut so that when clicked, all the apps within that group will be reopened. The app also allows you (and this is my favorite feature) to snap apps (see second and third screenshots) automatically so that each app within the group you wanted snapped takes up an equal amount of screen real estate (and it supports multimonitor setups too!), and you can snap an unlimited number of apps. No more manually snapping windows and then trying to reconfigure them when you flip to another app!

Please do get in touch if you have any feedback, or want to suggest additional features.

See more visual demonstrations at hubwindowmanager.com as well as the download details (available in the Windows App Store today!)

It may come as a surprise to people in NYC that, in fact, most people don't live in NYC.

Yeah, it's a bait and switch designed to attract Amazon haters with the headline and then convince them Amazon is the good guy in the content. Seems like it worked really well based on comments here. I'm sure vox will be duely rewarded by their Amazon overlords.

Oh jog on,

While I'm hardly impressed with this action from NSW State government, it does not represent Australia as an entirety.

Further, while unusual and new, these are bail conditions. I challenge you to find a US state that does not engage in bail conditions similarly draconian.

This is like seeing NYC or Cali Gun restrictions and saying the US isn't a liberal democracy because of them.
> Nintendo also had something I think is a great idea when developing the NES: the video hardware had its own bus to the cartridge. This probably saved many cycles keeping the processor busy with other things instead of transferring content to the video RAM. It also allows better use of the system's very limited RAM and video RAM.

Nintendo did this because they had to, not because it was an ingenious innovation. Sega didn’t do it in the SMS/GG for the same reason Nintendo didn’t do it in the GB or GBA; because those architectures were much more efficient at ferrying data due to their high cycle counts.

The Z80, for the most part, at 4MHz is about equivalent to a 6502 at 1MHz due to architectural differences / differing design decisions. Except in strictly loop-based copies, since it can move more data in the same sliver of time, especially if you utilize ported memory.
>By what metric are your rights inalienable and innate?

The 2nd.

Edit:
>definitively your government giving you the rights

Because we've gotten lazy and allowed it. Most of our legislative buildings have public balconies above the floors where laws are made. The architecture is sort of a reminder/implicit threat. Or it was, once upon a time. "We're watching you. Don't make any laws that are draconian".

Come to New York to see the extent to which a fearful people will go to prevent the danger from falling bricks. [1] /s

I'm joking here, but the joke underscores a painful truth: an irrationally fearful, small group of people seem to be able to utterly paralyze democratic society, and this pathology seems to be worse in societies that self-identify as focused on collective good. People who define themselves by their own idealism are easily sidetracked by hypothetical risks.

As for New York, it isn't entirely unrelated that they're shutting down their one remaining nuclear plant (and as a result, dramatically increasing NYCs dependency on fossil fuels) [2].

Well what are the reasons people would quit?

1. Low pay. As this thread pointed out Amazon actually pays above average for the warehouse industry. It doesn't make sense that their turnover is higher than other warehouse if people leave because the pay is too low.

2. Dislike of "big tech" and corporate capitalism more generally. Basically these are people who saw someone complain on twitter and quit. I doubt people that would quit of morals would take the job in the first place, this seems like a non-issue.

3. Unprepared for the workload that comes with warehouse work. All warehouse work is tough, if this is your first warehouse job you might not be ready for physical labor. This seems reasonable to me since Amazon advertises their warehouse jobs more than other warehouse companies.

4. Amazon's workload is higher than other warehouses. Given what we know about the workload on their white collar workers and the stories I've heard about the warehouse work this seems like the biggest contributor to their high turnover to me.

Interested in hearing what you think the cause of their turnover could be.
LPs fire them by no longer investing more money. An actual VC would get fired if they never made a good deal. And there's always the case of criminal actions (fraud, etc) but that's the exception.

Other than that, venture capital is a high risk investment where 99% of the portfolio is expected to fail so it's not exactly a surprise when it happens. How are you going to prove that an idea was definitely going to be successful or not? If you know that then you should be a VC.

The reality of portfolio theory means they only need a single big win to return all the gains, and the rest is just a reasonable attempt at disqualifying ideas and spending the money on things that might work.

I don't think Linus cares about Rust at all. He's been hands off about it, he knows kernel devs would like to adopt it so he's neutral, but I'll bet a tenner he will not start writing Rust anytime soon, and, if I can be so presumptuous to make assumptions, I don't think he's much of a fan, for many of the same reasons he prefers C over C++. I think Linus would be more of a Zig guy.

I'm being tongue in cheek here, please do not read too much into this.

People in control have much more ability to have the company execute their vision. As an investor the only thing you can do is say yes or no to management. Since the group of investors all have different side goals the one thing they agree on is making money, so management optimizes for that. Then everyone sees that the company exists to make money, so people that are interested in other things self select out. In the end all the shareholders are interested in maximizing the share price.

I am honestly confused how people have so little experience and empathy for engineering, even on a forum like this.

Do you actually work somewhere where you're providing one of the most-used services in the world and it's held together by "trivial shell scripts"? Do you really think people at Google are so bad at their jobs that they went "Well, this is 4 lines of Bash, but I could make this needlessly complex for no reason" It's not as if they're the height of engineering, but the arrogance to just assume that there's no reasonable factors that may have not lead them to doing something more simply is so foreign to me.

There's no deep and profound reason why usernames are used on HN, other than usernames being a common idiom on forums.

Since I've been here, numerous extra links have been added to the comment headers (prev, next, context,) hiding comments was added, vouching was added making hellbanning reversible, thread folding was added, two new pages were added to the header, the repost pool was made public, submitted links now automatically search for canonical URLs and titles are automatically edited. And before that, user karma was made invisible in threads. And that's just the stuff I remember or noticed. And the site hasn't broken yet.

Removing usernames could break things, but I can think of a number of problems it could also improve. Even just generally reducing engagement and thread velocity across the board would increase quality in aggregate. At the very least, it might be worth beta testing. If it doesn't work it can always be reverted.
