> The fuel is abundant to the point of being practically unlimited.

Well, only insofar as we have all the required elements on earth. You still have to go threw a considerably complex and expensive process to make that fuel.

You need to mine lithium and then expose it to plasma to breed tritium.

> A fusion core is naturally fail safe since energy and fuel need to be constantly applied

With a breeder reactor that can be consciously refueled you can also keep its access reactivity very low. And even better, if its fuel is a molten salt the dangerous elements are chemically bound in the fuel. So even if an explosion (terrorist planting C4) would happen in the power plant, and fuel would get spread but the dangerous elements would remain in the molten salt. The dangerous elements are never gaseous and thus never leave the safety boundary of the plant.

A fission reactor in comparsion when hit by C4 can actually release gaseous radioactive material. Just not very much.

So I am not saying fusion reactors are unsafe, but rather then fission reactors can be incredibly as safe.

For myself I would much rather sleep next to a molten salt breeder reactor rather then fusion reactor.

They also changed their design to use a rod down the middle (because the previous design didn't work for three different reasons.) Now they are exposing that rod to orders of magnitude higher neutron fluence than the wall of a typical DT reactor design, as well as subjecting it to forces from magnetic fields up to 100 T. I am not optimistic this will work.

They actually do allow you to mention it in marketing; I've worked with them for a consumer product. What you can't do is use it in "paid" marketing.

Emails, social media posts, website landing pages, collateral in-store/retail is all fully acceptable. You can also pay additional fees to them for additional materials to use in communications.

Depends on which type of plastic. Burning anything halogenated is really bad, but e.g. polypropylene or polyethylene is comparable to natural gas in terms of emissions (CO2+H2O) because they contain only C and H.

That is absolute extortion. I sent ~0.05 BTC in May and the transaction fee was 0.067%. Eyeballing the transaction screenshot she sent, she wasn't getting hammered on the exchange rate to pesos either (via coins.ph). There was some KYC involved (sender name/address required to release the funds on her end) that slowed us down a little. It wasn't a requirement several years ago. I bet we could have fed the form fake info but didn't want to risk the funds being frozen, she needed cash in hand in less than 24hrs to purchase new inventory.

no it isn't; the attackers have that information and could have looked it up if they didn't.

"John Deere" is three things: a company, a brand/trademark of that company, and a dead person whom the company and trademark are named after. none of those things can be jailbroken.

all I am trying to say is that "jailbroken a John Deere" makes zero sense on its own, and doesn't convey any useful information on its own. THATS ALL IM TRYING TO SAY
Not related to the content of the article, but I really dislike how the images are mixed with the text. 3 words per line is not effective for reading.

Scaling to images up to go the full width of the column, centering the images and leaving space on the edge, or putting the images in the empty space on the side would all be much better.

On mobile it is nowhere near as bad because only like 2 words are put to the side of image.

The popular posts column also has a weird `text-indent: -15px`.

Ask HN: Weird Credit Card Stuff
I’ve been noticing weird charges on my credit card. Shortly after I receive them I get a negative credit for the same amount, resulting in 0.

Also the dates on line items change.

I’ve worked in software for in house payment processing. I know it’s complicated, and weird stuff can happen.

What would explain behavior like this?

It never ends up costing me anything, so I feel it’s a waste of time to pursue.
A product can last X years without being something you want to warranty for that time - because "last" can mean "keeps working with maintenance and repairs" vs "works without a hitch for the whole time.

Also, longer warranties can be a selling point (speed queen does this with the same exact internals being sold with a higher warranty on the 'fancier' ones which just add some more features to the board).

And, a company has to hold monies on the books for warranty service, so a defined warranty period that is not unreasonable can help with that.

But the "best" company in a given market only needs to warranty beyond the nearest competitor.

Speed Queen also is implicitly dealing with people who would buy the "lifetime" warranty residential unit and run it in a commercial setting, where the wear parts would wear out.
Thanks for the insight, I'm not surprised that email parsers refuse to believe that emails outside of .com/.net/.org exist.

Any reason why you said I would want to return to Gmail as opposed to continuing using another email provider with a different address? Have you had issues with custom domains ending in a more conventional TLD like .com? Have you had issues with smaller providers?
> Avoid high tax states like CA or NY.

Why? This sounds (especially given the two specific states named) more like an impression from partisan media than practical advice. Those two states do indeed happen to have comparatively high tax burden and metro areas with high real estate costs. But the relationship isn't well correlated. Maine and Minnesota are "high tax" states with cheap housing, and Alaska has (IIRC) the lowest tax burden but wildly higher cost of living. Similarly Miami has low tax and outrageous real estate, etc...

(Also recognize that state and local taxes make up a comparatively small share of an individual's tax burden in the US, anyway. The difference in total tax between NY and TN is something like 20% if I'm doing the math right)

Yeah you focused your whole post here again on CP / child abuse, apparently your favor topic, rather than other points. It's just a cheap shot designed to try and make this about defending (or not defending) the civil rights of the most hated segment of society rather than generically non-violent felons, and you know it. If you bothered reading what I said, I did propose that if they were unfixable and a threat to children they shouldn't be released from jail, which fixes your concern about them getting firearms. I get the fact that laws are ineffective aren't an argument against them, but it is worth noting making handguns illegal does fuck all to stop those people from getting one after released. Anyone can 3d print the frame in a few hours and have the slide shipped off the internet. If they can't be trusted in public not to hurt innocents they really shouldn't be released.

> when you don't have a good faith solution yourself.

Hilarious because you clipped off the second half of my sentence in my quote where I provided the answer. If you believe CSAM offenders can't be rehabilitated and their crimes amount to torture/abuse of children, then they need locked away forever or somehow gone from society.

Your obsession with CSAM is bizarre, I might add. And the fact you glossed over pretty much all my non-CSAM related points pretty much goes to show your intent here.

>believe that crimes against children should not be legal, and that's the view I take as well

My argument revolves around civil rights after full release from jail+probation/parole/community control, not whether crimes against children should be legal.

>You may want to think about why you reacted so strongly to this.

I really don't appreciate what I've seen you and many others do which is try to make someone who defends the civil rights of people who are free and released as someone who somehow doesn't want justice for children. These kinds of accusations made under the veil of academic debate are just an intelligent version of slinging shit at the schoolyard.
We bought a house recently where the sellers left behind the fridge. The fridge had a handful of broken plastic shelves: things like broken clips and cracked frames. I thought it would be cheap to repair.

Wrong. Fixing every broken item (~15 in all) would have cost over $400. Just for some plastic.
Surely there is a better fix to a deserialization exploit than just making every new app implement `bool dontBeHackable { return true; }`??

Even just, I don't know, forcing all builds to silently include this property in the compiled output - I mean, interacting with OS app state data files should be abstracted away from the programmer anyway, so it shouldn't matter if they're signed/encrypted behind the scenes, just handle it automatically, right?

Bay Area here. No real hours however "business hours" are 9 to 5, that generally means any meetings need to be within that time frame (ideally actually more like 10 to 4). It is common courtesy to also not schedule 12-1 for lunch, but that gets thrown out the window a lot and so working lunches are the norm. Even if I don't work through lunch, I usually only take 20 min or so.

Most people are in the office (when they are actually in the office, which isn't often these days), from 9ish to 5ish. I've worked at many companies that offered dinner at 7 to encourage people to stay late, but that only seems to have the effect of having people start later. No one really tracks hours as long as the work is getting done. Plenty of time I'll cut out of work around 2pm for something and then check in later in the evening for a couple hours.

General trend is people in their 20s work longer and later. Most people over 30 at any tech company I've worked at are out the door before 5. But also people over 30 tend to more reliably be in the office at or before 9.
Thanks for the plethora of information! I appreciate it
To me it is clear that Age != Experience. Early in my career I have worked with many people, while being much older, were not as emotionally intelligent as I was. I have also worked with many people who were younger than I was who were more emotionally intelligent. That is what leadership mainly boils down to.

Also, technical decisions should not come from the top. A leader should look at what something puts together and say "yea you covered your bases, go for it."

My current TL is older than me by a big gap but my experience on many technical things out-ways theirs and so they defer to me. Their experience on the social side of things is far better than mine and I always defer to them for planning and comms advice.

Basically: Age is a very poor proxy for how competent a leader is at running a team, making technical decisions, and many other factors that come to building large products. Selecting by age and putting the oldest person in change of a project is a horrible idea. Case in point: most governments are gerontocracy. How confident in the wise decision making powers of our political leadership?

My kids are in school right now in the US. They teach cursive for a few days just so kids recognize it but there's no penmanship. They also don't teach spelling because it's not at all useful for developing critical thinking and spelling will evolve on it's own just with reading. COVID definitely accelerated things but lots of homework assignments are done in Google Classroom.

The actual hardest thing to go paperless is math. When they teach strategies and ask to "show your work" there's no easy way to type it.

Now we need to find a way to prevent Lone Star ticks from making us allergic to meat. It's a big deal where I live.

The ticks are not likely something we can vaccinate against, since the mechanism involves the tick priming our immune system to attack innocuous animal carbohydrates present in meat.

Yeah, I'd stay well away from Samsung for appliances. There was a big thing here about a big recall because of their washing machines catching fire here a little bit before I bought my house, and I'd heard about their fridges breaking. I bought an Electrolux fridge and a Bosch washing machine instead and they're still going strong after six years. The fridge was on the recommendation of my parents who had bought one five or so years before, and theirs is still running well, never having needed any repairs.

I would not rely on bandwidth maps. Even the FCC's official one is very inaccurate. I would put the address in the ISP's website to see what is available, and then call them to double check because even the ISP's website is wrong sometimes.
I see the claim made that caste-ism doesn't fall under existing discrimination laws, but I don't really see how it's actually any different from run-of-the-mill racism.

Caste is familially inherited. So a person is being judged based upon their ancestry. The only difference between "that group of families is inherently inferior" and "that race is inherently inferior" seems to be how broadly/narrowly you define "race". So a legal argument should be able to be made that discriminating based on caste is discriminating based on race, a protected class.

Am I missing something? If so could someone correct me?
A minor misunderstanding easily cleared up then.

You may be confusing "neighborhood" with the more common euphemism "community" (which can also refer in India to religion). Another common way of referring to caste euphemistically is that someone comes from a good family. That being said, it's relatively rare, especially outside of india, for people to explicitly talk about caste.
Engineering is both easy and incredibly difficult. It is relatively easy to design something that does a particular task (at least for many of the applications being discussed here). It is incredibly difficult to design something that does its job well or last for a long time.

No, that's relatively easy as well. What's incredibly difficult is doing so while keeping the BOM cost under control in a competitive market.

Recall the classic saying, "Any idiot can design a bridge that will stand up. It takes an engineer to design a bridge that will barely stand up."
Indeed, this is also something the OP should be mindful of.

All three are more annoying to deal with than a fridge where you just know you gotta defrost it now and then (chest freezers still had that for longer, maybe still do).
