Sounds like a boon for airlines as they owe you nothing and have established no contractual obligation since they haven’t yet collected payment (consideration). Airlines are already regulated to reimburse passengers above and beyond for cancellations in Europe, this seems like a regulatory capture attempt to get out of the consequences of failing infrastructure.
Hair bands is exactly what sprung to mind for me (fellow Gen-Xer here). "Being a celebrity" has been idolized by young people for ages, whether it's an actor/actress, musician, or professional athlete. I didn't see the actual survey questions, but takeaways like this seem really loaded and perhaps the output of a leading question:

> Just 7.13% of Gen Z responded that they would not want to be a social media Influencer.

I'd also love to see an age distribution, though they did list the range at the bottom of the article. ("The research was conducted by Censuswide with 1,000 general consumers (nat rep) aged 16-25 in the USA between 26.07.22 to 28.07.22.")

[1] Unrelated, Bill Burr has a hilarious rant about hair bands that anyone who grew up listening to would relate with. It's really striking how bad it was -- akin to seeing the graphics of old Atari 2600 games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0KXrESpAn4

While Pu-238 is an alpha emitter, so it is difficult to capture the decay energy in any other way than by converting heat into electrical energy, for the radioactive isotopes that are beta emitters there is an alternative where the nuclear batteries function in a way very similar to a chemical battery.

The beta decaying substance is connected electrically to one electrode of a capacitor, while the electrons emitted due to the beta decay are able to pass through the insulating layer of the capacitor, reaching the other electrode.

Thus the capacitor is charged directly by the beta-decay and it can provide electrical energy to the external circuit.
> High-temp records for September were set on Thursday in Salt Lake City, with a temperature of 102

Okay so I grew up in Utah about 30 minutes north of Salt Lake and I know for a fact that we would get temperatures up to 102 at least a few times each summer. This is making me question the rest of the article.
Nowhere in this article is there a relation to bank bailouts.

"1K" must be a typo; it would refer to the legacy XGA resolution of 1024x768.

"2K" has its origins in digital cinema (where it actually was 2000 pixels wide), but it has since become used interchangeably with 1080p (1920px wide) alongside "4K" becoming the common term for 2160p (3840px wide).

(Further confusing things, I've also seen some usage of "2K" to indicate 1440p, although it would be more accurately termed "2.5K".)
> When they say 89% of students receive aid, the bulk of that is in the form of subsidized loans.

That doesn't appear to be the case.

https://www.nacubo.org/Press-Releases/2022/Tuition-Discount-...

"In the 2021 NACUBO Tuition Discounting Study, 359 private, nonprofit colleges and universities reported an estimated 54.5 percent average institutional tuition discount rate for first-time, full-time, first-year students in 2021-22 and 49 percent for all undergraduates—both record highs. By providing grants, fellowships, and scholarships, these institutions forgo about half the revenue they otherwise would collect if they charged all students the tuition and fee sticker price."

(Note that this article specifically indicates 82.5% received grant aid.)

> And 11% is not an insignificant number.

It is, as much of that will be international students.

The problem with nuclear's use of water is that the water released is heated and causes problems with the ecosystem (ie, waste heat).

In fact, Diablo runs at a lower power to prevent dumping too much waste heat back into the ocean ecosystem.

From the wikipedia page:
" and power is limited during operation so that water returned to the ocean is no more than 20 °F (11 °C) warmer than ambient temperature. "
Wow, pretty much every single word of that rebuttal is complete nonsense. This is like 7th-grade level writing, filled up almost entirely of non-sequiturs, filler words, and regurgitating the prompt back at you. I may not have agreed with lukev before reading this response, but I certainly do now.
[1] “The underbody seems to be the Achilles’ heel of electric cars because the battery is not additionally protected there. Drivers should be aware of that,” Michael Pfäffli points out.

I'd say Swiss society is pretty close to what you wish for. Also northern Europe ones. I don't think its a coincidence that all rank among happiest countries in whole world.

There is just something good that gets delivered sustainably into society with this approach, and over time it shows. Self-feeding circle. I sure hope future decades don't destroy it too much with immigration, I think Swiss have the best approach for this, staying away from EU certainly benefited them for independent decisions (come here if our society needs you, stay if you respect rules, learn language and don't break law seriously... a lot of far right movements in the world would be marginal if this was followed by politicians diligently). And yet they have by far the highest immigration in whole Europe.

You need to look up the definitions of "cannot" and "Chinese nationals". The first means you don't get a choice. The second is citizenship - not race, ethnicity, or language. How you misread that as choosing not to work with Chinese people is beyond me. Seems like you're the one looking to be inflammatory.

My 2011 MacBook Pro is still a great machine. I’ll be so sad if it ever dies.
To me, it showcases both the lack of necessity to have a stable career to survive, and the struggle people foresee going for a traditional career trying to 'make it'.

Even software devs, despite (proclaimed) massive shortages, have to deal with a lot of BS worldwide. Some places, you can't even afford a family home without a long commute (remote? Just kidding, culture insists hybrid at best). Now extrapolate that to other careers. It ain't pretty.

So is it really a surprise, in a world that makes it easy to play the 'famous person' lottery, where people are increasingly more individualistic, where society continues to disincentivise traditional careers, young people opt to try the lottery?

Entertainment is valuable, but there are many forms of entertainment beyond television. Read a book, play a video game, invite friends over and do some fun stuff, etc. I am not a fan of TV(or streaming) because its the most passive form of entertainment around. Its valuable, but it also feels overvalued these days.

While I think they are productive at the moment in that they really push the economy by proxy through big budget movies and surrounding merch, I also feel that if the movie and TV industry disappeared that role would be easily filled by other things.

The article does touch on this, but the real issue is urbanization and heat islands which cause higher surface temperatures in cities.
This is a miscomprehension.

The underlying aspect of existence is universal potential. All existent reality is a perturbation of universal potential distributing as an “aspect” of existential being.

This nothing being observed is actually the distribution of potential acting upon itself. The “space between” existent potential is the potential acting upon neighboring potential. So where “nothing” is observed, it is actually the field separation of the discrete potential.

For instance in the pauli exclusion principle, the boundary of a particle is not similar to a physical object, more like a magnetic field, these oppositional forces displace other particles, producing the distant nothing in between.

The smallest aspect of the universe isn’t a particle, it is potential, and a particle is a discrete localization of the stably bound particle’s potential. And nothing is all that will fit in between!
Absolutely. And not without incidents: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lia_radiological_accident

Short summary: Soviet engineers installed RTG powered radio relays to support the construction of a damn in Georgia. Political instability lead to the abandonment of the RTGs. Someone scavenged the generators and removed the radioactive cores from them.

Two of the radioactive sources were discovered by men gathering firewood in the forest. They decided to bring them to their camp(!) and cozy up to them to keep warm during the night(!!). Despite showing symptoms of radiation poisoning they kept the cores on their person while loading their truck(!!!). They all suffered terrible radiation injuries.

There are more sources "lost" from the same batch which remains unaccounted for to this day.

Took me 25 mins and many rearrangments :(
At the beginning of diving into a topic area or when I want to go very deep on a subject.

Books tend to have good comprehensive overviews of an area/technology, whereas most online tutorials are very shallow, even if more current.

On the flip side, when I need /deep/ understanding it’s almost always a combination of a book on the topic to fill in holes I missed, the docs, and live repos if available.

If it’s just for day to day use, or a technology I’m only using in passing - no.

I do vet the authors though. A lot of trash is published.

>I guess "portable" can mean many things.

It really sounds like we need to bring back the term "luggable"
It's certainly possible I'm being obtuse, but it's not intentional. From your own example, it sounds like defunding the police is quite unpopular.
The author kind of cheats by picking phrases that involve multiple words. I think if you examine a single word the whole concept falls apart.

An example from the HVAC industry: we have something called a reset.

An operational sequence for an AC unit will say "the unit supply air temperature is based on an inverse outdoor air temperature reset."

I'd challenge anybody in any other STEM field to look at this and correctly intuit what a reset is. You won't find a specific definition that matches in any ordinary dictionary.

It turns out that a "reset" is a linear mapping from one range to another. Literally just a scale and offset. You are picking up a range of numbers and "setting" it on a new range. No state is involved, just a 1-1 relational mapping between ranges.

So is that an improper noun just because there's a more popular meaning of the word "reset"? I don't think so. It's just an unpopular definition for the word. If you are unaware of this definition you will misunderstand the sentence but that's true of all words with multiple meanings.

Also the phrase "improper noun" has the existing meaning "a noun that describes something general (rather than that which is purely unique)", so there's an painful irony in defining a new specialized meaning for the term. I'm not sure if that irony is intended but it annoys me.

Edit: Why is the article even about nouns? This happens with verbs all the time. Every three minutes I'm thinking of another reason this article is a vague and largely incorrect waste of characters.

This simply isn't true. The Taco Bell nearest my house is paying $7.25/hr for kitchen staff (more for front-of-house), even though they've had to cut hours and are now "drive-through-only" for big chunks of every day.

If nobody got paid $7.25/hr, then there would be no problem raising the minimum wage. As it is, almost nobody in HCOL areas gets paid that, but enough people do, especially outside HCOL areas, that companies spend a lot of money lobbying to ensure the minwage isn't raised.

You have to make them hurt though. Oberlin college needs to feel the pain, it's not just to make the store "whole". 36 million seems on the low side to make them hurt and not pull this again, that's why we have punitive damages. Also it's not just about how much money will the store earn over an adult lifetime, as the college's actions greatly endangered that possibility. The judgement like I said seems a little on the low side to convince a college to not do this same kind of "woke punishment" in the future.
Well it’s not, Bank of America says it’s available to first time buyers of all races so your insinuation is actually racist.

On a side note, I can’t imagine a better reason for a government bailout— if it results in tens of thousands of first time buyers owning a home, many of whom would continue to do so regardless of the bailout.
People have mentioned image loading but one other shockingly slow thing is allocating ENIs (this also affects Lambda, VPC endpoints, etc.). I've had a few times where I've looked at the logs and it's basically been like 5 minutes to launch something where 4 of those were waiting for the ENI.
Both. I don't actually know, of course, and there are obviously people who are born idiots, or savants, or both, eh? But generally speaking, yes, every more-or-less normal child could do a lot better. Could they all do equally better? Is everyone born with roughly the same ability? I believe so for two reasons:

First, the ability to learn new abilities is the defining characteristic of being a human being. Humans are universal learners in the same way that Turing Machines are universal machines. So yeah, it seems to me that any human should be able to learn to do anything any other human can do (modulus raw physical parameters, of course. But even there there's a lot of flexibility.)

Second, I believe that the spark of genius is a metaphysical or spiritual thing that is universally available to all people, you just have to learn how to "tap into it". Since genius is not intrinsic to the individual (no more than gravity or the Sun) we all have equal access to it, although not all of us realize it or make use of it in our daily lives.

Brace yourself: the "European accessibility act" will soon make accessibility a legal requirement to the private sector, including computers, operating systems, smartphones, and e-commerce.

I used a Thinkpad 765d with Rhapsody (early developmental 'OS X' system from Apple that was not commercially available) from 2001-2006, then QNX on the same machine until 2012. My data was on a PCMCIA card.

At work I was using a Macbook Air by the time I gave up on the Thinkpad, and my Android phone was taking over a lot of my use. The Thinkpad was hardly deficient even ten years ago; the hinge was the biggest problem.

As an Indian and Entrepreneur, I have more concern then just a registering company. I had noticed that Ycom is biased toward cliche tags in India. Example Ycom team is offering easy funding to IITian or IIMian or Ex Google or Who have already funded startup. After researching I can confirm with example. Many startup such as Cleartax or Meesho were pre-funded before selection. Now all major startup founders are typical IITian or IIMian or Elite Uni background, even their live talks were with this uni's student. Last there are barely any solo founder startups. Worst I had seen typical IITian who got selected in Ycom and got funding, few years later still failed to create a website or products to show.
I had completed my education with average college, coming from labor handicraft family, worked for decade in small and medium company, rise from bottom, started startup after many failures, got website, got best products, created a good sales, made revenue and made profit. Yes it is not a big but enough to feed me. I am solo founder with no backing or finance or support. Last got rejected by Ycom almost 10 times.
