No one ever head of the Integral Fast Reactor which uses the "nuclear waste" as fuel?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp1Xja6HlIU

Somehow it never comes up in nuclear power discussions.

The only problem with nuclear is there are no future sales from it. Capitalism works on having something to sell in the future.

Once nuclear is reliable and safe there is no more money to be made from it and this is why all the Greens are no more than fronts for the fossil fuel industry.

They are hellbent on pushing inadequate alternatives which make carbon based fuels the only reliable ones.
The only reason we are talking about the "official" definition is because the "people who say things", aka representatives of our government, are caught being blatant hypocrites. Just like they were called out when they tried to tell us inflation was "transitory".

It's like arguing over whether (254,0,0) is red or not. You said a decade ago it was red. You said two years ago it was red. But now that you really need it to NOT be red....well, technically, (255,0,0) is "Red", and (254,0,0) isn't "Red". 254 might be good enough for foreigners, and it might be good enough in common usage, but, ya know, it's not good enough for America(tm) in 2022.

And if you say otherwise, you are spreading misinformation. Because we can't allow any more bad news for a deeply-unpopular administration to potentially bleed into the upcoming major elections.

More and more people are seeing through such nonsense.
What is this "financial model" you imagine?

Utilities will need storage, and will build whatever is cheapest. In some places that will be pumped hydro. End of story.
It certainly beats having to send an email to a faceless "support" address that ends up sending me the same 4 boilerplate questions when I try to figure out why my business locations' rule-compliant map listings were suspended from My Business even when I spend $15k per month on Google ads, sure. It hurts my business (there hasn't been a resolution since when the issue arose four years ago), but it's not nearly the hurt that the folks the librarian is helping are feeling.

Maybe, just maybe, if people are sobbing, maybe there's a good reason why! And maybe, just maybe, if you don't want to receive such support, you can advocate for a system in which you could opt out of all such processes entirely, instead of arguing that any form of account remediation shouldn't exist.
Why is being visibly sad or happy something that should lower your self worth?
If anything this viewpoint is unreasonable and forms the basis of an informal fallacy, among the lines of a false equivalence. You are claiming an equivalent outcome based on an oversimplification to one factor ("all politicians lie the same") and/or ignorance of the plethora of factors that separate (and yes, in some cases confound) both parties.

I know plenty of Republicans who think Democrats lie more and I know plenty of Democrats who think Republicans lie more. But I wouldn't justify a false compromise through anecdotal evidence.
Nah, it's definitely Ruby. It uses Postgres + Redis + a S3-like object store for most of the data heavy-lifting. There is some additional ops complexity in Gitaly, their git backend, but that wouldn't be a huge source of resource usage in a simple setup
It's taboo to criticise such movements because by extension you criticise those that actually have the illness. And some movements have grown quite powerful politically. If you allude that it's problematic to let children change sex, you are painted as anti lgbtixxxx. Activism has won against science.
> You may immediately hop on an express train... or you may wait 7 minutes.

If we really are talking about midnight, perhaps. But trains on this line typically arrive every two minutes during rush hour, or every four minutes in the middle of the day.

> and it's still a wash in most circumstances.

But it's not "most circumstances". During rush hour, this trip could easily take 40 minutes by car, as Google Maps acknowledges.

You're of course correct that Google Maps isn't perfect. But I knew my own experience wasn't anything like the times you were quoting, so I was trying to find an authoritative source.

I actually think Google Maps is over-estimating the subway time. I know I can get from my apartment on 135th street to Times Square in 26 minutes door-to-door. Around 20 of those minutes are actually sitting on the subway, and I think the train gets to 96th street at around the halfway point.
It's not policing, I'm suggesting that in a dialogue the use of scare quotes signals a negative interest in actually engaging in discussion. Typically, scare quotes will be interpreted as someone who has already made their mind up and won't be moved.

Compare:

"I'm skeptical about the prevalence of autism in teens."

"I'm skeptical about the prevalence of "autism" in teens."

The first absolutely conveys your skepticism, but doesn't come with an implied sneer.

I don't know, maybe this feedback isn't useful or you reject it, that's fine too. I just figured you may want to know that the way folks might interpret the quotes might be heavier than you intended.
So we disagree on the best tactics to take here. In particular, I think the embarrassing tech companies in public works when it's done by either other tech people OR it gets into the media where the bottom line could be impacted. This

That doesn't make me 'cringe^inf' or boil down my tactical critiques to '"she's not asking nicely enough'. I presumed you were attempting to call me out for tone policing, and usually the point of that call out is to protect the feelings of the person being critiqued. Or to prevent the person making the tone argument from making it for biased reasons, but as I am ALSO a female librarian, that doesn't really apply here.

> you seem to have an odd perspective on all of this.

Yes, I imagine I would. I differ from both HN's average readership and the average librarian enough that my views on things are odd. I also did some time in communications work and I can't turn that off either. It's like seeing poorly written code for me.
You might be able to get away with a cup of tea every once in a while, but I tend to be an "in for a penny in for a pound" type of person, so it's complete elimination or 4-5 cups of coffee for me.
I’ve run the numbers for myself. Every dollar of SaaS revenue is worth 2X that of a dayjob dollar.

I’m not saying SaaS money grows in some mysterious way, or that it’s easier not to spend it. I’m saying that I would be happier with $60k yearly from my SaaS, than $120k from dayjob salary if my customers were my boss instead of the asshole who is my current boss. So the answer is $5k recurring monthly revenue. With that I’d be happy to quit.
Thanks this is helpful.

Delivering video files without caching them is probably a mistake, of course!
The browser extension kinda already exists — I've accidentally done that to a few sites with Adblock Plus.
Yes it's 300 years, because of magic which somehow makes recycling feasible and let's us ignore all the parts which have lifetimes longer than 300 years. That's not a valid argument. So far nobody has managed to come up with a economically and ecologically feasible way to recycle nuclear waste. The French Le Havre site is primarily run for military reasons and multiples the amount of waste. Admittedly lower grade waste, but it still needs to be kept away from people for thousands of years.

What I found out is that because Docusaurus is so popular, you get a form of standardization across docs. I can go from React Native docs to Redux docs to TailwindCSS docs and I've already got a solid idea of where everything will be because its a docusarus site.

One thing in particular is that Docusarus has the CMD + K command to do a search, it's so nice being able to go to all the different sites for docs and have the UI work in exactly the same way.
Consistent reminder that the police will spend a tremendous amount of time, money, and energy surveilling and attempting to break up left-wing groups, whilst literal neo-nazi groups are left to grow their numbers. The police are working to curb threats to capital, they aren't there for us.
> Go is much lower level than Haskell, even with a GC.

No, it isn’t. Can you actually show me anything that would imply that? Haskell can use pointers/FFI, etc. just fine. They are on the exact same level, the same way as countless other languages including C# and D.
Well, the op was quite offensive in the first place

> this is so incredibly over-engineered it's comical to me.

Isn't it fair that I defend the tool I work on after reading such comment?

The op can stick with its original tool and that's perfectly fine to me. Indeed Docusaurus might be overkill for many simple use-cases.

Does it mean it's over-engineered? Well, that's worth discussing. Some companies really need the features we provide.

Can you build something as advanced as some of the existing Docusaurus sites we showcase, using a simpler stack? That's an interesting discussion to have, but share some links.
TikTok's Factory Line of Terrors
TikTok's reach is fast growing in Morocco. Content moderators for the platform are complaining of an influx of graphic content and little protection for those who review it.
You clearly didn't see their quarterly earnings¹, where the only business units with growth were graphics, network, and MobileEye.

Wikipedia should have a "controversial" warning for heavy editing
Someone born stupid can be used as a useful idiot and put in a position of authority or politics to act as a plant by someone who is not an idiot and is very malicious.

To be frank, I think, if not now, then eventually, all positions of authority will be manned by such plants..
I don't even know what you're trying to say here? If anything, the "decor" in my hotel room metaphor was a metaphor for... decor? I could make a timer that outputs ASCII text for the countdown, but if I put that as the first result in a Google Search results page, it would look weird and out of place. As far as I know, Google having consistent CSS doesn't lower their reliability and invade my privacy.

There was never a Google Timer that wasn't a part of search, so it always was going to need to integrate with search. If you just want a website to load with a timer, there's plenty of other options.

I get it, you don't like Google, you think they make products that are bad for people and privacy. All of that I mostly agree with. That's a set of complaints that, as far as I can tell, have no relation to if Google Search still has a timer feature. Even if they stripped out all of the tracking and whatever you think is making them not have "reliability", the remaining search engine would still be an impressive and hard to integrate with bit of code. You see this in the cost to develop and run services like Kagi or the belated Runnaroo search engine, both of which were far better about personal privacy and, amusingly, less reliable than Google.
The ruling class did _not_ shy away from debauchery. King Edward VII of England was so fat he had a special sex chair made so his stomach wouldn't get in the way.
It’s not any more complicated than doing it other ways if you want control of the full infra stack. Advantage of k8s is you get a hardened unified API that works everywhere.

> 3. Could we get away with a simpler set of abstractions for 90% of applications?

Yeah but you can do that in k8s too, check out knative serving for example. K8s encourages the creation of higher level abstractions, with the advantage that you always have the break glass to dig into the primitives, which you don’t get with a lot of other systems.
My opinion on Kubernetes is that it's great orchestration software that is trying to fix poor underlying application architecture issues. The biggest underlaying software application architecture issue today is the idea of a single responsibility worker. Why do applications have one worker only working on messages from one queue? This architecture looks great on a whiteboard, but has issues around spikes in traffic, uses tons of unused server resources, and requires lots of custom software plumbing. The solution is a generic worker that does work from any queue. It is such an obvious fix to lots of the scaling issue that large software applications face today. I'm personally only using Tempral.io, which is a generic worker orchestrator, from now on when making large distributed applications.
We use to think we were hackers and would write up BASIC code something like:

10 PRINT CHR$(147)
20 X = 1
30 FOR X+1
30 PRINT X
40 GOTO 20

Then run away cackling as the numbers kept printing thinking that somehow it would run forever.

(or something like that... it was 40 years ago)
The efficient market rewards inefficient stock buybacks, record debt fueled dividends, years of underinvestment, low wages, and most of all no strings attached bailouts. They may be a loser, but we'll pay for their loss. Socialize the losses/costs and privatize the gains.
I know you’re joking, but this effect you described actually is just another trick our brains play to help us survive in the world. We believe that only we are free from this illusion.
at some point there's a conflict on what compassion is or the trade-offs involved with placing emphasis in some sort of compassion for some given target demographic
Apple claims human rights violation over iPhone ban in Colombia
> Basically, are they "well-adjusted"?

This is so easy to game. People read the diagnostic criteria online and echo it back to their doctor for a prescription. Their proof of needing adjustment can be little more than pointing to their grades and attributing their less than stellar academic performance to the list of ADHD symptoms they memorized online. EZ way to get yourself a stimulant subscription. This was particularly common during the pandemic when you could do it entirely online without actually meeting a doctor in person. I saw a lot of people explicitly advocating this sort of deception to get stimulant prescriptions; all described it as very easily done.

I tend to think those drugs should be legal OTC, so part of me thinks "so what?" But the problem is that right now it isn't legal OTC, so the system is giving a leg up to anybody willing to lie to a doctor, while honest people have to make do with lesser PEDs like caffeine.
Maybe that's why you have to practice to be good at sports. I couldn't hit a 90 mph ball to save my life.
I had always heard that an undersea cable to Antarctica would be impractical due to seafloor scouring from winter ice. If that was true, I wonder what the engineers have come up with to get around it.

Interesting that this cable will connect to the American base in MacMurdo rather than one of the Chilean bases closer to home on the Antarctic peninsula. I wonder if this was an economic or a practical decision; operating a cable-laying ship across the Drake Passage seems like it might be a challenge.

Yep CDK and/or Pulumi. It’s very easy to map your own custom concepts and logic to your cloud provider, rather than making a cloud provider on top of the cloud provider you already pay for.
its because we inherently rely on them too much to produce products.

If we fight them both us and them lose out on enough trade to do a lot of damage.

they need our money, we need their stuff, we are shackled together.
Another decent solution is to seed the key, and keep the seed written down or in your password manager. Though I only know of the hacker version of SoloKey that lets you do that. Now you've got the convenience of passwordless login, and the peace of mind that you can always get a new spare.
Nukes are very, very far from competitive. So, whatever clever nuke ideas people have, they will not be built.
Yes, today's internet is far tamer. You need to go on tor to find half the stuff I'd see daily on forum around 1999.
ADHD person here. When I was diagnosed in high school, I honestly didn't believe it, but I have come to accept that it really is a difference between myself and normal people. Normal, small, repetitive tasks are extremely hard to remember and keep track of. I need to write tasks down or perform them immediately, or I will commit and forget. However, when a novel and interesting task comes along, I can get lost in it for hours, forgetting to eat or sleep or even spend time with my family. "Interesting" is subjective, but I'm sure you could design a study that could begin to identify people.

One problem is that there's a pop culture understanding of ADHD and there's the medical version. Because ADHD is poorly understood and is diagnosed by ticking boxes, I get the feeling that some people just say what they need to say to get the diagnosis/meds/whatever. (I am unmedicated and have been my entire adult life. I felt a bit like a zombie on Adderall, and my heart was constantly racing.)

On the other hand, I do think there's probably a better, deeper explanation that has eluded the professionals. I suspect that ADHD has something to do with a lack of free play for young children. When kids are able to free play, they invent their own games and set their own boundaries and learn to regulate themselves; this does not happen when they are under adults' direction. As a consequence, we see that the US has extremely high ADHD rates in children, whereas in other countries, especially ones where early education consists almost entirely of free play, especially outdoors, is encouraged, the rates are quite low.[0] Further, within the US, we see that children born in August seem to have a higher chance of an ADHD diagnosis than those born in September.[1]

I suspect that the disorder is "real," but with a very strong "nurture" component. In the US over the past 60 years or so, children's lives have become increasingly directed by adults, from time spent in school to time spent in sports or clubs organized by adults to time spent at home doing homework. At the same time, Americans have become increasingly hostile to the idea of children's free play. "Where is that kid's adult?" is something I hear from other parents when I take my kids to the playground.

If I could summarize my own experience, I would say I have trouble self-regulating along the spectrum of being bored or interested in a topic. If I'm bored, or think I will be, I have almost an anxious response; if I'm interested, I may get lost in the task or topic till a phone call from my wife breaks me out of it. For what it's worth, when I'm healthy, I can rarely sleep more than 6 1/2 hours per night.

Powers of Ten – Charles and Ray Eames
A lot of very young people often try to be as cool and detached as possible. How foolish really. I think it is important to save some empathy for later but I believe part of it is just growing up and realizing you cannot change everything and not feeling empathy towards everything is a form of self defense. I believe it is difficult to attribute this to media consumption but there very well could be a part to that. It is intuitive at least.

On the other hand I try to compare it to the empathy of people that were not exposed to anything like the free media on the internet. And often they don't show increased levels of empathy either, often quite to the contrary.
Is it though? If anything, education is precisely this, cultivating a baseline of cultural understanding. It can be weaker or better than the education in the family, but it sets a bar for at least yee good.

Of course, TikTok is not vetted and you can have a lot of bad stuff there (I think, I didn't use it a whole lot) but surely this whole thing is moral panic.
the point of doing it for non-neopronouns is to have neopronouns be less of an exception.

> he/his" is a label for a set, not the set itself.

I did not think of this. It makes a lot of sense.
Try reading up on plural systems before you make such judgements. And don't hang around /r/SystemsCringe; it's a hate sub.

Otherkin is not a fad, and it's not confined to Tumblr; it's been around for decades, all over the net and real-life society. There's considerable overlap between otherkin and furry; otherkin is basically furry for fictional species.

Anyway, furry/otherkin and plural people read and post here to Hackernews all the time -- often as experts in their professional field. One of the most consistent producers of high-quality content featured here, Xe Iaso, appears to be both. Mind your manners.
> I cannot imagine that Google engineers would live with such deeply broken systems as daily drivers. So whatever that secret is, whether it consists of drivers, known hardware configurations, or even just config files they use to ensure optimal operation – that's what I'd like them to Open Source. I'm happy to buy whatever laptop spec Google uses for gLinux for myself to go along with their OS.

Then your imagination could be improved in a few ways:

1. Google has complete say over the software you're allowed to run at work. They can mandate using whatever tools they want as terms of your employment.

2. Google has complete say over the hardware they purchase you. Random drive incompatibility isn't a thing. They pick hardware that's been validated to work so they don't have random IT complaints.

3. This is a IT / compliance / security thing. The grand total of UX people dedicated to this probably amounts to designing the splash screens. The grand total for bug fixing is for issues impacting an obscene number of users. If you f'ed up your OS install you'll basically have to fix it yourself (IT will offer to reimage your machine and you'll be responsible for making sure you correctly managed your backups by hand - you get limited storage space at least when I worked there, so you had to make sure to exclude certain folders from backups).

4. They do have a slightly better story for Android development but most of that relies on Google3 / Blaze. I think they're doing some work to migrate to Bazel finally but I imagine they'll always have a bit better internal dev story.

About the only value-add they could be giving here is the hardware configurations but they're not really different from stock Linux laptops you'd buy as a consumer.
Your concern while valid seems solvable.

They could preauthorize a random token amount on credit card with matching details, have you call the number on the back of your card to figure out that amount and then you have to input that number to authorize the access in an oath like flow.

Please tell me if you see something wrong with my procedure?
