10% to 20% only in europe. However, because of the super bizarre pricing mechanism of the electricity market in Europe, the market price is automatically set to the most expensive one in cases of spikes (aka: the ones producing electricity out of gaz).

This was certainly created with good intentions, but the result today is that even in countries with nuclear-dominated electricity (such as france), electricity prices will soar tremendously.
CIA favouring invasions of other countries and corporate profits over anything that vaguely smells like socialism and helps ordinary people sounds historically consistent at least.
Considering even people here on HN foresaw that exact outcome within days/weeks of the initial invasion, the current situation stinks of some extreme incompetence within NATO.
A fuel imbalance happening twice is not a "recurring issue". It's a problem that wasn't fixed correctly. It may or may not concern you, depending on your level of knowledge about aviation, to know that when it comes to relatively minor issues like this, this kind of thing actually happens all the time — the maintenance engineer will carry out a documented series of steps to test the system, find that everything tests OK, and release the aircraft back to service. Meanwhile some intermittent fault is still present, that didn't show up during the test, and it happens again on the next flight or a few flights later. Eventually the tech log entries give enough clues to identify the problem or it happens during a test, and the issue is solved. No sane regulator would ban an aircraft for this kind of situation — a version of it happens daily worldwide, including on whatever your own favourite airline is.
I would like them to find methane & oxygen in an atmosphere. I don't have a clue really, but I think that would be pretty convincing evidence of life. I expect that they are busy looking and we will get a result like that in the not too distant future - if the JWST can do it and if such atmospheres do exist in substantial numbers.
Would they have reduced it if there hadn't been sanctions?

Come on now...
Yeah probably analytics, it tracks clicks and page changes
> ... is the definition of long term thinking

It involved no thinking beyond "will it help me be elected prime minister over the next two weeks?"
They use the same drivers that are on standby to escort fuel tankers and hazardous goods through the tunnel.
Suppose USGOV takes over Facebook, then is it bound by 1A for all users? Or just those in US jurisdictions?

You'd surely need it to be taken over by a supra-national body like the UN, given it has a supra-national user base.
It helps even if just because you’re unlikely to order a burger from a pizza or Chinese place, even though their kitchens are perfectly capable of making one.
Server side history and SaaS frontends is the biggest misfeature of all the modern chat services. (and corresponding lack of client side history logging)

Every single time I have to join one of these new chat systems I have to figure out ways to copy the archive of messages on the platform over their often private http APIs.

There's no way I can use a chat service for business communication without having an archive of communication. If you join a foreign workspace you don't even have an export option (or it's surely is well hidden).

With XMPP/IRC clients, you can at least log locally and don't have to deal with bloated webapps you can't even control the basics on like disabling typing notifications, or online status tracking.
You shouldn't look back, but look forward instead. At 23 you should have most of your life still in front of you. At 57 I'm painfully aware that I don't have all that much time left so I'm trying to make the most of it, there is no reason to wait until you are old to start realizing that your time on this rock is finite. At least you realize it now, some people never do, and I hope that you had some fun.
This was a good survey. The nature of historical books (and especially grand macro books such as these) tends to lead to an acceptance/rejection debate on a particular perspective, which can be tedious, but this did a good job of taking each perspective seriously yet critically.
Easy solution: start looking for a replacement. If nobody wants the job, make changes.
Paid tier includes "free" access to their stock (Storyblocks) media. It is somewhat cheaper to get a Storyblocks video subscription through Clipchamp than through Storyblocks themselves.

I presume at some point 4K will be added, but given that YouTube metrics show that 4k media is still very niche (1080p is something like 85% of viewing), I can see why that might not be top of mind for this.
They exist and are pretty good. The problem is that concrete is more expensive than lumber.
Speaking of AMP and ads, fun fact! If you block ads, AMP purposely ads a few second delay to load all AMP pages. So in your scenario, the winning option is to install an ad blocker and avoid all AMP pages. :)
Seize the windfall profits going to gas producers and give it to people to find non-gas ways to heat their homes.
If suggesting that there have been NATO actions that influenced Putins decision amounts to support of the invasion you would also have to talk to the current CIA director about treason. In 2008 he wrote the "NYET MEANS NYET: RUSSIA'S NATO ENLARGEMENT REDLINES" cable.
I genuinely don't understand what was the plan. Maybe they were hoping that Putin will fall before then? That'd be very shortsighted and a fundamental misunderstanding of the regime.
Right. If you want to perform a regime change, look at its historical track record in countries like... Libya, the invasion of which was called the worst mistake of his presidency by Obama.

You make it sound like the more Africans you kill, the more warmer Europe gets, which is nonsense. Last time I checked, wars only destroy.

Civilized discourse with warmongers is impossible. If you want regime change in some country thousands of miles away, go do it yourself. I am not going to send myself or my kids to die for your hubris.
Exactly. As long as Facebook is a private corporation, the First Amendment protects their right to arbitrarily censor the speech on their platform however they wish.

The way state-controlled media censorship has turned out in other countries is well-known, but having our public spaces controlled by a patsy of the government, who is not subject to the same restrictions as the government even in theory, is not a better outcome.
I think most(?) C++ implementations of std::string use something called a short-string optimization, where the string type is something like

struct string {
size_t len;
union {
char* ptr_to_malloced_string;
char short_string[sizeof(char*)];
}
}

So if the length of the string is shorter than the size of a pointer, the string is stored inline in the struct, and if the length is longer it's a separate allocated object.
I block ads and subscribe to what I consume regularly, including journalism. The two ideas are not mutually exclusive. ;)

That is a great analogy. Our technologies will improve, but it is madness to voluntarily depend on future advances that might or might not happen and might or might not be practical. We need Liberty ships (cheap, effective, reliable energy production units, however imperfect), not just sit here doing nothing because we’ll somehow figure out energy storage later, or we’ve read a pop sci article touting a new technology that’s unlikely to ever be practical.

We also need to realise that we need a total effort, not military but similar in scale to what we did during WWII. We need to build now all we can that is low-carbon, because half-arsing it won’t be enough. We also need to reduce consumption as much as possible. Keeping something close to a current western way of life will be hard enough, but things like humongous cars, SUVs and pickup trucks are madness. Even Teslas are very problematic and detrimental overall. So is living in the desert, and mass migrations even within countries need to be planned to avoid utter chaos.

Energy production is just the sharp tip.
It’s clever and probably makes sense in some contexts but 24b overhead not counting the store feels like a nonstarter for many cases.
Not too jail, where did I mention jail? Stop selling and messing up the market, just shut it down and go do something else that creates value

No doubt Trump pulling US troops out of Europe ticked off the EU.

I could honestly see this happening. Time to start cooking more.
Ads aren't, generally. Targeted advertising, however, is trash and needs to go away.
Ports open when the ractor is created and close when the ractor ends (when its code terminates.) You can send to any ractor you have in scope and receive if the ractor sent a reply (or you'll stand still and wait.) No exception wrapping is required but try to receive from a terminated ractor and see what happens.
The trends in the funeral services industry is that there are only a handful of publicly traded companies and they keep grabbing bigger and bigger slices of the pie. The pie is not growing as fast as it used to be due to price transparency (due to regulation and the Amazon effect), competition and changing attitudes toward cremation, but it is growing, and it is a lucrative long-term investment, one that makes sense even (or some would say especially) in a bear market. The chain-store economy only recently started slamming the family-owned businesses in this industry, so there are definitely opportunities.

As always this is not a financial advice.
And not adding it and not testing for Firefox would cost nothing, and currently improve the user experience - because it actually just works, as a lot of things just do.
It's basically accounting fiction.

Imagine every bit of food you ate cost the same as the most expensive. The caviar goes up, and suddenly no one can afford to eat.

Why don't we use less caviar and/or also suspend the stupid rule about food price?

Owners of food businesses getting paid caviar prices for delivering scotch eggs. No, let's wait till some people die, because I'm getting rich.
> The end result was about two decades of stalled progress in corporate software development and artificially depressed wages.

As a younger guy, I've always wondered why there are so many "fossil" legacy critical applications at my company. They can only run on a VM and appear unaltered from their last version in the late 90s / early 2000s.

Pretty sure some of them can only run on IE6.
Not really. There can be still be causes of things which are known and analyzable... But “luck” says that agents didn’t cause them (intentionally).
The rules of a natural language are not prescriptive, but descriptive. Studying the rules may work if the language's grammar is similar to that of one's native language.
The uk is one of those strange countries where property prices go up despite rampant inflation (thus reduced budgets), increasing interest rates and increasing energy bills. But i still hope that somehow there will he a blip. Anyway good look! I am looking at mk (post code not necessarily the city), small villages and towns ideally around the new rail. We might even end up as neighbours!
I see a general move towards "reducing costs at all costs", which at least for me, indicates that people are getting ready for the upcoming Autumn/Winter Economic crisis...
The profit is going Russia who supplies the majority of Europe's gas. There's nothing to seize since they can turn off the tap and Europe will literally freeze.

Basically, Europe is buying less than half the usual supply of gas at 6x the price right now :(
I have a lot of sympathy with this article's main point of view, that art has has its roots in the biological evolution of the human species. The author references a book by Denis Dutton - The Art Instinct: Beauty, Pleasure, & Human Evolution[1] - where Dutton argues that art is an evolutionary trait, and is shaped by natural selection. That book was published in 2010; I wrote a (short) article in 2007 along very similar lines in an attempt to explain why poetry exists in every human language[2] - it's good to find out that I'm not alone in having such an outrageous belief!

The second half of the article, on how computer-generated art fits into the art-is-fundamentally-social equation ... I currently have no definitive opinion on that question. My thoughts on the issue vary on a day-to-day basis between "art without a human creator is irrelevant" and "art happens in the mind of the person who sees/hears/feels it, not in the medium used to present and preserve it". My guts favour the latter opinion, but it would be nice if I could work out a decent argument to support the assertion.

This thread is a bit stale but I try to check once or twice a week to tie off loose ends. I appreciate that probably no one will read this, but, you never know.

One of several issues around engaging with the Rust community at least as personified on HN is that it's very difficult to see any other outcome than being backed into a pretty extreme corner: I started my involvement with this thread saying that I like Rust and want to like it more, but found taking a piece of software that seems interesting on its own merits and headlining the Rust part (whether due to the original post authors or the submitters, makes no difference) contributes to a skepticism-inducing sense that there's an agenda other than "cool software" sitting close to "Rust" in the embedding space.

And, if you care to, you can watch me go from "Rust is cool, great stuff written in it" -> "hey some of these claims are seeming extravagant" -> "ok let's not get carried away, the cited examples are mostly Haskell semantics and clang optimization" -> "alright I'm calling bullshit that all the tooling is superior, that's fucking stupid" give or take. It's a pragmatic cool programming language that people write great software in. That's plenty, that's more than most languages ever achieve, and Rust is far from done achieving things.

`rust-analyzer --version` reports: "rust-analyzer 2022-04-11" on my primary Nix shell. `clangd --version` reports "clangd version 13.0.1" on the same env. I drive both of these things on the command line, in CI, and via `emacs` (on `eglot`) every month at a minimum, every week almost certainly, and usually every day.

I have seven nontrivial elisp `defun` and/or `defadvice` (deep into `rustic-mode`) stanzas for keeping `rust-analyzer` working ok. I have to defeat it's naive `Cargo.toml` search in interesting projects, I have to turn off big blocks of my buffer going RED ALERT RED while a brace remains missing which is statistically most of the time, and most importantly, I have to manually restart it with save excursion trickery so that I can survive a crash without blowing my session. Some of these defects may be as old as earlier this year when I last audited all that.

For `clangd` I have zero such nonsense. Which is completely understandable, it's an older and therefore more mature piece of software. That's not a knock on Rust or `rust-analyzer`.

But I made the fatal mistake of posting the wrong link to the issue tracker, for which my reward was to cause the "Flying Fucking HN Rust Brigade Gangbang Comment/Downvote Battalion" to put the Batman light on.

If you folks are comfortable being the "extremists people are too tired to fuck with", then do you. But I know for absolute certain that I am not the only person doing some level of Rust adoption in spite of this bullshit rather than because of it.
I don’t believe the narrative that russia is doing just fine. A country with the economy the size of Italy can’t survive being cut of all their major commercial partners and sources of income all of the sudden, while at the same time being blacklisted from all international economical institution. It just isn’t possible.
They most likely do all they can to pretend like everything’s ok, hoping the situation will settle before everything explodes.
The real question is: Did it bring you joy, happiness, or entertainment while doing it?

For years I collected and spent an inordinate amount of money on antique telephones. Cleaning, conserving, researching, writing, and then one day it started to be less interesting. I've sold off almost my entire collection. When I think about the many hours and dollars spent on the hobby, I don't see it as wasted. I see it as endeavors that entertained my mind and passions. Now I have new projects and hobbies.

I've been advised by a lawyer not to put similar signs on my property: they'd show malicious intent if someone had an accident on my premises.

Most long distance movers aren’t. There’s a local truck and guys who load it, and then everything is offloaded at some central depot and sent to another depot where it’s loaded on a different truck for final delivery.

Door to door locked trailer is more expensive and harder to find unless you do something like pods.

What to read to understand how economists think
I'll just address just one of your points for now:

For as long as possible people held off any kind of voting, instead using a rough consensus system. This was chosen because voting would lead to too much inaccuracy.

I know about this because at one point I researched how and why the system was working, and helped write some of the documentation on it.

My question to you is where, when, and/or why you think the system looks like reddit voting, as you claim? I would be rather sad if it has broken down of late.

note 1: Ironically, the No Original Research [3] rule came about to counter claims of unreliability. I doagree with you that -while it does set a lower limit on reliability- it also sets an upper limit. Besides your objections, it also removes a channel for establishing priority [1], and makes it harder for experts to contribute from memory. [2].

note 2: Wikipedia actually incorporates the 11th edition of Encyclopedia Britannica as the basis for a number of articles [4]

you can't change the past. you can influence the future. but you only ever live in the present.
> Of course English has gender but mostly in pronouns which are easy to master (until you talk about ships where it gets weird.)

"Ships are 'she', except in the American navy, where littoral surface combatants are 'he'", or "...except in the British navy, where submarines are 'he'", something like that, isn't it? Guess I'll only talk about "the vessel", which should pretty reliably be "it".

> Plurals and articles seem to trip up many non-native English speakers. The rules for these things are quite intricate and riddled with exceptions, and if you write a page of prose and make a single mistake with a plural or an article, a native English reader will instantly know you are not a native speaker, even if your meaning is understood.

Fortunately not so bad for speakers of German and the Nordic languages, which work rather similarly. (Germans usually give themselves away by using the compound in stead of simple past tense.)

> Example: "if you write page of prose and make single mistake with plural or article, native English reader will instantly know you are not native speaker."

The canonical example seems to be the Slavic languages, above all Russian.
Reminds me of how everything on Amazon is sold by a "brand" called something like XOUQND these days.
For anyone else curious, the planet in question is WASP-39b, which is a long way away. From Wikipedia:

The answer is decentralized solar (dont depend on the gov) and Nuclear utility from the state. Its the only way to mantain western (high intensity) living standards and power an all EV world.
It's ridiculous that we're in this state of affairs. People using the power of the state to restrict what others can do on their own private property because "it's ugly".

There are real reasons to block development, like industrial waste or noise, but this is ridiculous. Even housing NIMBYs can come up with more convincing reasons like pressure on local services or traffic.

This kind of interference with property rights should be impossible. The UK's planning system is unfit for purpose and is far too local. Locality always means that locals will block anything they can due to being change-averse, ignoring reason or morality.
You have already taken the first step. Recognizing your past choices, their results and what you want for your future.

At 23 you have a long and potentially successful career ahead of you. Good luck with completing your CS course.

What has happened in the past is what it is. You can't undo the past, so there's nothing to be gained by beating yourself up over it.

When you think of reaching for SM or WoW, reflect on the feelings you have posted here. Instead, complete an assignment, read up on some area of technology, try out a new programming technique, whatever. If none of that appeals, go for a walk, clear your head and visualize yourself as having put your past obsessions behind you.

It's like the 12-step program. You take each day, each moment one at a time and affirm to yourself the changed person you are becoming.
This is a huge part of it. People have an idea of what they want and search for that, so a restaurant that appears to specialize in that will get top ranking.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me! Well the engineering team at Youtube is working hard but still I cannot understand how the algo can still miss huge parts. I spoke with so many people on Reddit and there are so many different problems they encounter.

- They are used to watch videos about a specific topic and then if they watch 1 video about something else (let's say headphones for example) the algo forgets about their previous preferences and keeps showing recommendations about headphones.

- Some people get recommended videos they already watched before

- Some people don't really like Shorts so they would prefer if there was a way to toggle off so they won't see them anymore

And there are also so many different issues.
Burn that regret as fuel.
Even if you cut your energy use to zero your bills are still going up due to the standing charge doubling.

And the reason for the SC doubling is to compensate energy providers for taking on the customers of energy providers that went bust.
