India? Average Indian emits 1/10th of what an average american does!

This is hypocracy, ignorance, and whataboutism

China is on track to meet it's climate goals, 90% of electric busses in the world operate there, they have been top investor in renewables for many years. And they are still growing.

Why do you never mention gulf states that emit 10 times more than an average french person does.

Most anyone can throw together instructive storyboards using stick figures and simple art. They hire professional illustrators because they want something more than that.

In 1972 people with horrific treatable diseases were being lied to, so that science could record exactly how they suffered and died:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuskegee_Syphilis_Study

And that's what led to ethics rules that said you can't do that. You'd think you wouldn't need to write it down, but we did and we do.

> By then, 28 patients had died directly from syphilis, 100 died from complications related to syphilis, 40 of the patients' wives were infected with syphilis, and 19 children were born with congenital syphilis.[15]

> The 40-year Tuskegee Study was a major violation of ethical standards,[13] and has been cited as "arguably the most infamous biomedical research study in U.S. history."[16] Its revelation led to the 1979 Belmont Report and to the establishment of the Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP)[17] and federal laws and regulations requiring institutional review boards for the protection of human subjects in studies.

It was somewhat off the cuff and meant to encapsulate the idea that you can improve the ability of the phone to connect with the satellite. That isn’t possible if you don’t design the phone.

You could potentially control the situation enough where a user can enable “satellite mode” which uses extra power for sending messages. It’d affect battery life, and need to be manually enabled, but it’d enable better connections in emergencies.

You could try to improve directional antennas and some sort of aiming system with the screen.

Lots of things that maybe could happen when you control the client side instead of just the satellite side.

No - I am using "one 24x7 bottom-lever care giver" as my (admittedly simplistic) unit of measure, for nursing home staffing. (Yes, I know there are wide variety of care options with visiting nurses, "independent" housing, etc. - where the staffing is definitely not 24x7. In my part of the U.S., the term "nursing home" seems reserved for facilities which are the (mostly) long-term primary residences of people needing some type(s) of 24x7 semi-skilled physical and medical care.)

How many residents (or patients, or ...) each 1 staffing unit has to care for is brought in later. I briefly assumed 10 residents per staffing unit.

(I am not sure how to interpret your "even the start of the 131k is actually three persons manning the phone" comment. Though from my own experience - quite a bit of staff time is consumed by talking on the phone with the family members of residents, with outside doctors & such for residents, with insurance providers for residents, with pharmacies, etc., etc.)
Only 24 of 56 French nuclear reactors are currently producing power, for various reasons. Less than half.

Plans to build conversational agents always seem to ignore Moravec’s paradox. The hard bit of building such an agent is in building a tolerably human-like conversational partner, not in searching and sorting data.

It’s like the “AI” projects that spend all their time building a fancy sci-fi-looking robot body, ignoring the fact that how much of a “person” a robot seems has almost nothing to do with how physically anthropomorphic it is. Johnny 5 and Wall-e are proof enough that the mind, not the geometry of the body, is what’s important.

This blog post might feel a bit minimal for an HN post. I'm submitting it because it is, in the context of current UK government, a bit subversive. The blog is making some statements:

-Open data is good

The current UK government disagrees with each of these.

where is the pressure in France against nuclear? I can remember civil war like situations at construction sites in Germany years ago. A political movement that spawned a new party which now is, again, in a ruling coalition.
Why don't you sing the praises of Egypt, Thailand or the myriad of Caribbean islands? Tourists love those places, hell they love anything as long as you keep the ugly out of view. I grew up in a first world tourist town. It was a meth ridden dump full of swindlers and was absolutely no place to raise a family unless you had some tourist business your kids were keen on inheriting and running. "Tourists like it" is completely and totally tangential to whether somewhere is nice to live.
I can remember seeing flags in front of schools in every country I've visited, several in the Americas, several in Asia, and several in MENA.
>Currently we think about the nuclear fleet in the Ukraine which is literally under fire from Russia.

It's hilarious how the Western politicians and mass media seriously blame Russia for shelling a nuclear plant which it controls for a number of months. And a lot of people either blindly trust this narrative, or intentionally spread misinformation with the sole goal to demonize Russia as much as possible. It reminds me how Donetsk rebels were blamed for shelling of civilians in territories which they control.

It clearly shows how far we are in the post-truth world. Even a tiny bit of critical thinking is enough to understand who truly does the shelling, but titles like "Ukrainian Army shells a nuclear plant" are too inconvenient for the current political climate.

As far as I know, the goal of shelling (which for the time being does not target the reactors or the spent fuel storage) is to discourage Russia from disconnecting the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant from the Ukrainian grid and connect it with the Russian grid instead.

Are you joking?

- there are public transports

- 10km is a 20min to 40min bicycle ride depending on level. The east side of Dijon being quite flat this is totally not a pita to do, more like a pleasant easy exercise every day.

- A lot of people would run 10km before and/or after work to stay fit which can easily be combined into commuting provided showers are available.

- in a lot of places in this world people are walking that amount to go to work every day, or even to get vital water supplies. The Rarámuri people living in the villages at the bottom of the Barrancas del Cobre (copper canyon) in Mexico aren't strangers to run that amount uphill every morning to go to work.
Because you do not know if the results are the same before making the decision to go with person A or person B. There are time costs in figuring out if someone can do something or is capable of learning how to do something, so test(s) of various kinds are used as a proxy.

1) I am just pointing out that physical != digital as you implied, whether sanctions are a feature or a bug is irrelevant.

2) Yes they could, because only some countries sanctioned Russia in my example, however their digital dollars were frozen. Russia could still trade with China or India using physical dollars if that’s what they were holding but they are unable to do it now because their digital dollars are frozen.

Show HN: Document Tracking like a boss – Not another file transfer tool
Apps like dropbox, and google drive, we transfer don't work in some parts of Asia (India, China, etc) for various reasons. It's pretty hard to share huge docs/slides/presentations to our vendors and customers in this part of the world.

I work for a small company and needed to solve this problem, so I built a tool that is multi-cloud backed on Cloudflare R2 + Alibaba Object Storage with a Vue js front-end. It does the job reasonably well. You can send 3gb of files to anyone and include a video message, too; please try it out and let me know what you think.

We have reasonably good usage of free users in both these countries and a number of businesses. I added an asynchronous video message feature that you can add to your outbound documents, this has helped increase document open rates; people tell me it helps close more deals.

> salary - EU taxes + Social Welfare Benefits > salary - US taxes - US healthcare - US retirement

This is true if nothing really bad happens to you and your family ( car accident, really bad decease, ... ). France will have much better social security for tail risk.

This equation is not deterministic. It works on majority of cases, but having the peace of mind of feeling safe, is worth a lot to me.

Tail risk also compounds the bigger your family is. I am very grateful that my parent will have lifetime free Healthcare, hassle-free retirement, even though this comes at a 50% income tax + social security.

>A typical fridge-freezer combo uses 150kWh.

That would be a small <150L E class fridge, kept at 21C (with an air conditioner during the summer)

Fridge efficiency has not increased much in the last decades (LG infamously had an efficient but horrendously unreliable 'linear compressor') - the only part that can increase efficiency is the time(s) it gets opened and how good seals the fridge has, and ambient temperature. Also smaller compressor by design cannot be super efficient.

The newer devices part doesn't affect fridges all that much - vacuum cleaners have been limited, lightning requires LEDs (effectively) - which comes w/ its own issue of retrofitting, TVs (also relying on LEDs for backlight or OLED directly), power factor correction (for 75+W) and what not. Direct drive (brushless DC) and low temp washing for washing machines. Yet, there is no recent groundbreaking technology, it's just that the EU changed the efficiency labeling to prevent massive A+++ stuff.

It is though. The same would have happened had the bank resolved transactions on a paper ledger. The only alternative is if we don't do banking at all, which isn't really feasible.

You can’t remove politics from the people practicing science. Because they are people. But science it’s self is a process. It does not have, by definition, political inputs or outputs.

> the question of which hypotheses are worth pursuing and which experiments should be done is political

In a sense yes, but it also proves my point.

The example I think of is this. For the sake of argument, imagine there is a left leaning scientist and a right leaning one and they study economic differences between ethnic groups. The left leaning scientist will have political biases, politics, etc, because he is human, and guided by these biases he makes the decision to hypothesise the economic differences are caused by systemic inequality. This is indeed an example of a political choice guiding the scientific process.

I think that is perfectly fine. I don’t see this as “politics being in science” I see this as “politics being in humans practicing science”.

Now, coming back to the right leaning scientist, he too has biases and politics and a sense of morality etc because he is human. Also guided by these things he hypothesises economic differences between ethnic groups are caused by innate biological differences.

Just like the left scientist, I think this is fine. This is politics in the human practicing science, not politics in science directly.

Where politics in science appears is, if the prevalent political system discourage research into innate biological differences between humans and interferes in the scientific process to prevent researcher into this topic.

And that is what I have a problem with. And that is exactly what is being done through guidelines like this.

> the results of this experiment make us uncomfortable

I think we both know that is exactly how these rules will be used.

Should you buy an EV?

1. You live in a private house where you can charge the car? - Yes

2. You don't have a charger at home? - No

Simple, really :) . I always wanted to buy an EV but that's a deal breaker criteria. Also the secondary problem - author makes assumption about electricity price, but it almost doesn't matter at all if you are changing at the commercial stations only. They will charge you for as much as they want, and it would be a far far more than bare electricity price at home. I have once calculated a price to kilometers value at the nearest commercial charger in my city (not USA and not EU), it was about equal to the running a benzin car on a 95 octane fuel. At the same time my colleague was spending on charging his Leaf about 1/4 of the fuel price of his previous city car (using commercial electricity prices, not the home one, home electricity price would have been 1/8 to fuel). So the commercial markup of a charging station was 300%. Not very enticing.
