> solar camp likes to tout how it took a decade of subsides before economies of scale kicked in - no reason to believe nuclear wouldn’t come down with same kind of subsides - on a longer scale due to longer iteration cycle.

There is: nuclear has been subsidized on a much longer scale than solar already.

Really? Out of a 100 players, 7 interact vaguely positively (gg, glhf etc), 3 are salty and the other 90 are silent.
It’s liberating but also tiring. Sometimes it’s nice to have someone to lean on. To commiserate with. To share success with. And no one is perfect. It’s nice to have someone fill in your weaknesses. I solo founded once. I won’t do it again. It’s too lonely. And I’m not even a social person.
Chernobyl did not use liquid sodium. It was a graphite moderated thermal spectrum reactor with water as the coolant.
It is still just a game though. For fun. Just because they want to posit their toy as a sport doesn't mean it is.

Luckily there's plenty of competitive games out there that are actually fun. The meatgrinder of matchmaking isn't actually the elite competitive environment these gamers think it is.

Real competitive video games are played IRL. Your online eSport PC game of the month does not compare to a real tournament at your local arcade/community college/bar/netcafe.

If your game doesn't have those, then it's probably a skinner box posing as a ladder with different colored badges as prizes.

I see some results when intraMax is set to Inf but it doesn't seem to pick up "Llanowar Elves" despite the other libs hitting it first or second. If I narrow the list to only mtg_16000, I get 0 results.
Either that or G.711.
This response seems overly resentment motivated.
They're experiencing the flip side of the argument of picking one standard reactor and building lots of them identically. If an issue is identified, it can affect your whole fleet. In this case, they were doing an inspection and found unexpected corrosion in a safety system. They checked another similar reactor and found it too. The more they started checking the more they found. So they have to go down for extended outages and repairs, as necessary. This is very bad timing, considering the gas-driven energy crunch.

The repairs can be done, and the reactors will come back online, it just takes time. Very unfortunate, to say the least.
> and mess up my perfectly configured rules

Keep your rules in a repo somewhere, and the kids can't screw them up.

You could even have unsigned commits change the temperature in the opposite (or randomized) direction to discourage tampering.
Men with kids are at the top of the power structure in nearly every industry. Anybody who has a negative stereotype about dads almost certainly isn’t in a position to do anything about it other than utter under their breath. In practice the opposite stereotype exists: childless men make less money, live shorter lives, and are seen as less responsible and trustworthy.

You answered it yourself. 100s of pages isn't sensible. 1 page, 5-10 variables, done.

The Microsoft Network is back apparently.

The AOL-like hell that the Microsoft Network was in the 90s makes its return in its Neo-Internet Explorer dystopian nightmare.
That's the channel creator's complaint though. He thought his video was below the stated profanity threshold. But YouTube age restricted it anyway. He found other examples of videos that weren't age restricted but had twice as much profanity. He also said he'd have no problem censoring profanity if he had known he had to.

The problem is that an opaque moderation and appeals process is causing real harm to creators on the platform who are making good faith efforts to follow the rules.
Just an observation - Among contributors, I see only one active contributor. But there are ton of stars & forks.
Because planning on those timescales is extremely difficult. The storage needs to be made robust to civilizational collapse, civilization forgetting about the existence of the waste, and shifts in tectonic plates.
Even the Pi 4, which is quite the powerhouse with 4x Cortex-A72 cores that easily overclock to 2.0+ GHz, is no match for the Steam Deck.

https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/compare/14301251?baseli...

The Pi 4 overclocked to 2.3 GHz has approximately 40% of the single-thread performance, and 20% of the multi thread performance, which is quite impressive for a $35 board.

The Steam Deck also has quad-channel LPDDR5, and a relatively beefy GPU. The Pi 4's GPU is lacking compared to the processor, barely being capable of running a desktop environment with acceptable performance. I have run Portal 2 on a Pi 4 using box86, but it was extremely hacky, unstable, and netted something on the order of 2-3 fps.

You could run old school emulators that aren't GPU bound no problem, and probably even some old school shooters like Doom 3, but it's not going to be as polished or performant as a Steam Deck.
Besides Facebook wanting a known version of WebView that they have tested, they also probably want to be able to control or disable new web privacy protections that Google may add to Chromium WebView. This is the next level of intrusion beyond apps like TikTok injecting tracking JavaScript into their in-app browsers.

It doesn't have to all be one giant stack of batteries. Your argument is like saying that we can't add more than (say) 2 GW of nuclear, because that's the size of the largest nuclear power plant.

You're confusing how much money you take home from how much money you cost the organization.

You should see how much lawyers cost versus how much lawyers earn. The sticker price for SWEs isn't as well-advertised, but it's how businesses work.
Yeah, right, and we know where you live, I guess.
Lots of people have already given you plenty of opinions, but I’ll add one more: I love thinking about my child. Making her life amazing and safe makes me feel good.
I'm guessing you're not a parent...

Learning about a word is not the same as using it appropriately. Swearing is fine, but there is a time and a place for it, and children are not well equipped to know when that is. And whether you agree with it or not, in most cultures, any kind of swearing by children in public is considered extremely rude and reflects poorly on the parents. The simplest solution is to teach children that yes, these words exist, and adults use them but children should not. That teaching is much easier when the parents limit exposure to swearing in media and other day-to-day life because children imitate what they are exposed to.
It might be a rare opinion in JS ecosystem, but I like the scope of this project. It solves the crux of the problem; I can compose the rest (like testing other strings alongside the input to account for typos)
That wasn't my point. The lack of equality means that the very few make all the decisions in this "decentralized" capitalism. The decisions that control and influence capitalism are highly centralized among a comparatively small group.

And even where storage is hard, things are developing FAST.

EVs are still at, what, 1% of cars on the road, and only a small percentage of dozens of transport modes by air, land, sea, from single person motorcycles to busses or even container ships.

Grid storage still basically is an "EV batteries on land". This is going to change as well.

WHich is funny because the fundamental issue any nuclear plant has to deal with isn't the current price of alternative energy + grid storage. The REAL problem is that in ten years when the thing comes online, what will the price of alternatives be then given the cost improvement curves of the last decade?

I would hazard a guess that alt energy will be half of natural gas turbine by then (and natural gas turbine is already untouchably cheaper than nuclear), and probably 2/3 the cost with functional grid storage.

I believe home solar will be cheaper than grid natural gas turbine in 10 years too. And that's without carbon taxes.
Hindsight. You couldn’t have known at the time.
one step at a time. But I agree it's disappointing. It's like if you saw a commercial for an iPhone and then showed up to COMPUSA to find an Apple II.
You don't have to be a sports bro to know the approximate size of a football field.

>I always cringe slightly when I see a headline like this on HN, imagining it feeding unfair prejudices about protected groups

"Protected" by and from who? Whose "unfair prejudices" are really at issue here? I always cringe when scientific studies or other bits of objective reality are suppressed or downplayed because of the prejudices of people who believe that arbitrarily cobbled together groups of people by those who think they know better need to somehow "be protected".

>You be you, but please remember that prejudices and confirmation bias are problems

If someone has a problem with science and objective reality, that is a personal problem they should deal with, not a problem with science and objective reality. Unfortunately there is an ever-growing mentality (especially among younger people) that if objective reality is somehow offensive to one's sensibilities then objective reality should be ignored or explicitly rejected all together.

There's never been a single merchant nuclear plant built to sell into a competitive market, anywhere in the world. So, all the nuclear plants around were built with a captive audience of customers who were to be forced to pay for them. In the US, the remainder of nuclear interest was down in the southeast where this sort of thing still exists.

I feel your doctor pain. I hope you find an answer. Actually, doctors may be one the more guilty professions when it comes to shallow knowledge without application. I like to see how many times I can ask a doctor 'why' or 'how' before they become frustrated with me for wasting their expensive time :P

I don't think this is a given. The bible has been around for a long time, but for whatever reason there have been disputes over what information exactly is encoded in it that have been going on for centuries. It's definitely a little more consistent the spoken word though!
I think in that analogy, if Holmes had at least accepted limitations and started with a lab that fit on the back of a truck, but still needed a vial of blood as a step 1. The vision may be possible but you gotta start somewhere and you can't just do R&D for 20 years without revenue.

My kids are now 13 and 17. We've cursed in front of them and "allowed" them to curse since they were little. Language is language and words aren't inheriently "bad." The idea that a list of 7 words is some how offensive is asinine.

My kids are exceptional students, smart, do all the same activites as other kids. All the other kids curse, too, they just pretend they don't in front of their parents. It's a very silly game.
We can ignore the waste problem because nuclear fails even if we do so.
Nice work MSFT
The argument isn’t a that convincing. Basically, instead of having a good co-founder you could have a bad one. I don’t know enough about the data used to comment on that aspect. Perhaps, statistically, it really is better to found solo. I’m just sharing my personal experience. Having founded solo once, I won’t do it again.
Both the current Xbox and PS generations support this in a way as well. The developers need to do some work to make use of the features, but they are available.

Yes. No question.

"Blah blah eternal life oligarchs or whatever" - who cares it's not like we don't have that problem now. Those people are powerful because we let them be, it's not innate. Maybe we might do something about the problem when there's a risk it'll last forever rather then pretending it's not a systemic failure.

If it's possible to do, it's going to be done: the question is actually "should we let poor people (non-billionaires) have it?".
Other than any sort of epigenetic change, and without any sort of clinical evidence whatsoever, I wouldn't be surprised if it was somehow linked with the almost universal sleep deprivation associated with having an infant.

1. This study had a relatively small sample size, curious if it’s even statistically significant enough for the claims. Particularly, with MRIs not being a perfect measurement for bodily function.

2. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is true, but not for the reasons the study (why are we linking to the economist) concludes. Everyone who’s an active parent recognizes that you’ll be sleep deprived the first year of having a child. Youll also be working harder and have higher stress. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the reason for shrinking the cerebrum.
Well the best strategy would be LFTR/MSRs that can breed and/or burn the waste to usable isotopes or as fuel. But it's always interesting how much pro-nuclear people are anti-MSR or anti-anything-but-huge-concrete-domes-and-solid-rods

Because the lobbies underlying nuclear power in solid fuel rod processing is a lucrative government boondoggle.

All the nuke proponents say "we are losing all the old guard!". I actually think this is a feature, nuclear needs to be reformulated and reassessed from the ground up without all the political and military biases, and once they have stable cost profiles in wind/solar to actually target.

If they can actually make a competitive reactor once wind/solar stabilizes, likely at 1/2 to 1/3 the current real dollar cost.

> We need to increase the title length for posts on HN... (or a drop for context instead of wasting 8+ chars on the "Ask HN:" section of the title

The maximum title length can also hint posters to write better. For example, “Do you think “ IMO adds 13 characters needlessly. “Should co’s be req’d to…” says the same and IMO reads better, too.

Removing passive voice and replacing words by shorter synonyms, I get “Ask HN: Should we force companies to take back their e-waste?”. If I count correctly, that leaves 19 characters to spare. Replace “companies” by “shops” and it would be 23.

As to the subject at hand: it will be as good as impossible for shops to verify that people don’t dump stuff bought elsewhere there, so shops that can be reached more conveniently will get more than their share of stuff.

Also, how do you suggest people return e-waste to online retailers?

An eLectronic waste recycling fee (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Waste_Recycling_Fee) combined with specialized recycling centers may be a better option.
Back in the 90s or early 2000s Citrix had amazing technology.
I'm not sure I'd call Rebase & Merge clean... If you do it you get duplicate commits (the hash is different but the content is the same). It appears clean if you look at the commit history for a given branch on Github, but it's not all that clean in git itself.

I work on smaller scale projects and set up a work flow where development is done in a develop branch, and main is locked behind PRs so everything gets CI'd and reviewed before its CD'd. I'm definitely on "Team Clean", because I think it works better for projects of our size, but the only way to get a rebase and ff merge is to do it locally and push to main, which I've blocked for safety.

Maybe there's a solution but I couldn't figure one out.
> Sorry but...

Perhaps you don't understand how science or the aegis of science have been historically used to justify discrimination. You can look to phrenology as a good example of this. It was touted at some point as a biological justification for white-black racism. So here we have a class of people who suffer discrimination (parents) and a "scientific" justification.

> If some halfwit VC...

You won't know that this happened. There will be plenty of other reasons which can be explicitly stated for not funding you (or passing you over for a promotion or whatever). You will only learn that you are suffering from discrimination if you get lucky and catch the oppressor on a hot mike or they fat finger the reply all.

Summoning Salt does not include any memes in their videos. The footage that included the profanities was of a speedrunner celebrating that they had just broken the world record. This sort of footage is important for his documentaries because their whole purpose is in showing who were the key participants in the speedrunning communities for the game the video is about. You can’t do that nearly as well if you don’t actually show the speedruns.
Grid scale batteries are in their infancy. There are over 100 different technologies in the oven now. The technology, mining, refinement, and manufacturing will mature. In 20 years nothing will come close to storing energy at the price and scale of grid batteries.
