It needs a grid and storage we never built due to fossil and nuclear faith.. but if we would then decentralized renewables don't have that problem.

The problem with nuclear is also not millions without power, but a strike that sets the nuclear plant without power (including backups), then it is quickly game over.

> One way to stop this is to raise interest rates and pull pounds out of circulation but the government is terrified of popping the real estate bubble.

The government doesn’t get to decide this. Interest rates are set by the Bank of England and will rise as a result of the government’s decisions. So it’s more accurate to say that the government doesn’t care about popping the real estate bubble or is delusional about the effects of their policies.
A cynic would say this is by design. The government created those funds to avoid paying pensions, and spend the money themselves (pension funds are designed to let the government spend all the money they collect, increasing government debt. They do not have the choice what to invest in), and this is merely a continuation of that policy. That these funds are going to crash is a certainty, they're designed to delay it as much as possible. They have now achieved that.

When it became clear that having enormous debt inevitably causes instability when people doubt the government's ability to pay this back, pension funds became responsible for not just funding the government, but also guaranteeing the ability of the government to loan more money. This requires leveraging their investment, and THAT is what's causing the crash here, that leverage. They've effectively guaranteed N times the government_debt, and that N is what became "big". That guarantee doesn't help pension funds, it keeps government debt payments low. The market is saying they don't want to lend to this government, and the government (not the PM, the rules for pension funds that already exist) is trying to force the availability of cheap debt. Of course, not using their own money or budget, but using pension money of ordinary people. This became out to be so incredibly expensive that even pension funds were in danger of not being able to pay for it, so the BoE lowered government funding costs using money printing, against their policy.

Pensions the way they were introduced after WW2 in the majority of places are utterly unsustainable, and the UK is no exception. If you calculate what a person needs to have an acceptable pension at the yields we've seen, you get to about a million pounds per person (2% drawdown, 2% investment yield, for 30 years, giving a person 25k GBP per year after tax = roughly a million. And that's generous, assuming interest rates go up and stay up, on average, above 4% without dropping average stock market returns below 4%, and with dropping inflation to ZERO 0%, because at 2% over 30 years, it's of course more, if you want the standard "parity" investment to work out). Pension funds actually have about 50k per person, not even 2 years worth of pension.

Pension funds are going to crash, obviously, and what Truss and Kwarteng are trying isn't the cause of that. In fact, huge inflation ought to delay the point these funds will crash. It's a matter of when, not if, and not a question "who is in office when it happens". I actually think their odds of preventing a pension fund collapse during their term are pretty good.

The government is back to the 1920s: they've found a way to force the government budget to be money printed by threatening pensioners livelihoods, and thereby can now effectively spend infinite money. This will of course cause massive inflation, but it will as was demonstrated, save pension funds. It won't, of course, help pensioners. They'll lose big in effective purchasing power. And that is exactly the point of this policy.
Underrated answer. I’ll probably re-rank as (1) figuring out who your critical people are and making arrangements to allow reciprocal or even asymmetrical time commitments. bonus here: take the time to know your neighbors and your village/town/city. (2) learning the art of doing nothing (3) books: philosophy books of the generalist kind help here as they don’t bore you with ‘bullshit’ subject matter deep dives. Also the so-called holy books (eg bible, qur’an, etc). Absence of internet might be good time to think about why so many around the world revere the sayings in these books.

I'm not that badly off and have never watched a Mr. Beast video prior to this. I would gladly stay within a 300ft circle for 100 days while some dude blasted clown noises at me in return for $500k. There's a library, a garden, some exercise bands, stationery, and 3000cal/day of food. I did 21 days isolation in an apartment at the start of the pandemic, which is 20% of the way there except with less floorspace.

There's a really good essay titled The Copenhagen Interpretations of Ethics[0], which makes an argument that the moment you interact with a problem you become responsible for it in the eyes of the world, even if you strictly improved it in a utilitarian sense, and even if the people judging you have done exactly nothing to fix the problem. Reminds me a bit of this.

Sorry, but that's nonsense. The market dropped spectacularly during the new chancellor's not-a-budget-honestly speech. You can't get a better smoking gun than that.

> but Truss’ announcement came in the middle of the worst bear market in bonds for well over a decade

Yes, and she chose to do that. It was amazingly irresponsible. The market response was entirely predictable.
Honestly, I think the internet/data is the least affected during electricity issues. These systems have massive government supported backup systems. I think you are more likely to run out of battery/electricity. Then, if the internet actually fails for a long time there will be some moving USB sticks of stuff like wikipedia and maps. Like in Cuba. These days you can transport petabytes of MicroSD per hour with a bicycle, if you want. Assuming it is that bad, I would more likely buy a survival guide, some do it yourself books and paper maps.
That belief is fine but wrong ;)
I think the move to subscription really rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. Many people didn't want or need the features that added the subscription value, so they felt cheated.

Personally, I'm ok with the subscription because I already upgraded LR every year. I use LR on all my devices, syncing photos and edits. It's great when I'm shooting on a trip, and can import photos on my iPad and start proofing, then they are already available on the computer when I get home. And you're right, the AI editing features are getting very good.

But, for the person who was using LR to edit their family vacation photos once or twice year, the move to subscription was not a good value.
I can't seem to read from paper anymore. I read plenty online and from PDFs, but I really struggle to read a normal paper book.

This also makes it harder for my kids to read. Too many screens, games and youtube, and they just don't want to read from paper. My oldest at least reads some manga online.

The FTSE100 does well when the pound drops against the dollar, as about 70% of revenues generated by FTSE100 companies comes from outside the UK. When the pound drops, their revenues (measured in pounds, at least) go up.

Where I grew up in the flyover parts of the USA as a mixed race kid, my school had around 5 people in my year who weren't either white or black, and experienced some instances of hillbillies and old people complaining about me being there because I didn't blend in. Can't say that the community really made me feel integrated despite being born and raised there. Interestingly my close American friends generally tend to have a similar background.

In Japan if you're hoping to blend in as a Japanese person, that's a pipedream - you're not Japanese, you don't speak, look, act, or think like a Japanese person, and you probably never will. It's not the same as America where anyone can legitimately call themselves American. And that's fine if you ask me, Japanese people have every right to preserve and be proud of their unique heritage.

But people will treat you "as an equal" in day-to-day life so long as you at least try to assimilate (speak some Japanese, be generally polite). So long as you don't hold onto the belief that one day you will be Japanese, then you won't be bothered by the fact that you're different.

I lived in China for some time as well, and that was similar; my friends who have lived in India seem to feel the same way, and I suspect this is the case in any country with a dominant ethnicity or sufficiently distinct culture.

That said I do hear it's harder to climb corporate hierarchy as a foreigner, but it's not something I worry about since I just work for global/foreign companies rather than for Japanese ones. A legitimate concern for others who want to join the rat race, though (still amazed @patio11 subjected himself to that).

Guess it's a difference of values; I for one would easily take walkability over blending in with the crowd, but maybe that's because I never have experienced that even in the USA (and I lived in SF and spent time in NYC, and honestly I have had as much culture shock in those places as I did in Tokyo). I've come to see "equality" as a different thing than how Americans typically view it, and my particular circumstances allow me to navigate around the parts where I would hit a glass ceiling while enjoying the parts where I wouldn't.

I would definitely say that your use case for AWS is not just warranted but good. There are many use cases where going for your own servers or even data center (even "rack room" or "server in storage room") is a better idea, but this isn't it.
Offshore wind clearly wins on 'visual pollution' as well, if you do consider that more important than cost.

In Germany, the national Green party is the primary instigator behind the planned closure of the country's nuclear power plants.

Greenpeace for its part has lobbied hard against nuclear power for decades.

As for regulation, nuclear is governed by a totally separate regulatory structure, that can have its stringency throttled up by anti-nuclear types to prevent new plant approvals.

You can hardly make quantitative statements about how many applications need this or that. It's not like we're in the 60s and IBM can tell that they'll need to make exactly seven of a certain computer.

I can tell you that massive amounts of storage are used by eg Mercedes Benz during simulations they need when developing cars. Back when I was reading about this - maybe a decade ago - they were using mind boggling amounts of storage. Still all before SSDs. You can assume all other world-class engineering firms in every kind of difficult engineering that requires physical robustness or safety have a similar need. But Mercedes Benz at least used an on-premises solution, simply because storing stuff on AWS would have created latency and throughput issues.

A lot of the Internet popular culture really is just an echo of something someone else did years before, but with less fanfare, no money involved, and without the desire to get as much attention as possible. One of my favorite performance artists is Tehching Hsieh, who did 4 time-based works:

- One Year Performance 1978–1979 (Cage Piece)

"In this performance, which lasted from 29 September 1978 through 30 September 1979, the artist locked himself in an 11.5-by-9-by-8-foot (3.5 by 2.7 by 2.4 m) wooden cage, furnished only with a wash basin, lights, a pail, and a single bed. During the year, he did not allow himself to talk, to read, to write, or to listen to radio and TV. A lawyer, Robert Projansky, notarized the entire process and made sure the artist never left the cage during that one year. His loftmate came daily to deliver food, remove the artist's waste,[3] and take a single photograph to document the project. In addition, this performance was open to be viewed once or twice a month from 11 am to 5 pm.

- One Year Performance 1980–1981 (Time Clock Piece)

For one year, from 11 April 1980 through 11 April 1981, Hsieh punched a time clock every hour on the hour. Each time he punched the clock, he took a single picture of himself, which together yield a 6-minute movie. He shaved his head before the piece, so his growing hair reflects the passage of time.

- One Year Performance 1981–1982 (Outdoor Piece)

In his third one-year performance piece, from 26 September 1981 through 26 September 1982, Hsieh spent one year outside, not entering buildings or shelter of any sort, including cars, trains, airplanes, boats, or tents. He moved around New York City with a packbag and a sleeping bag.

- Art / Life: One Year Performance 1983-1984 (Rope Piece)

In this performance, Hsieh and Linda Montano spent one year between 4 July 1983 and 4 July 1984 tied to each other with an 8-foot-long (2.4 m) rope. They had to stay in the same room when inside, but were not allowed to touch each other until the end of the one-year period. Both shaved their hair in the beginning of the year, and the performance was notarized initially by Paul Grassfield and later by Pauline Oliveros.

It doesn't matter what happened to creditors centuries ago. As it stands right now it is inconceivable that the US could or will pay off all its present and future creditors in real terms. Someone has lost a lot of money (presumably China and Japan). How could the US pay them back without resorting to fantasy? The debts are too high and the US economy is not big enough for any strategy to be politically feasible. Even coming up with a serious scenario where the US tries to pay down its debts is hard. It is likely that they are going to keep running up debts until they can't pay the interest any more, then default.

The best outcome the US can achieve is semantic games where they pretend that giving people back less than was borrowed is somehow reasonable.

> Worse, the early exposure to static methods will turn out to be a bad habit that must be later unlearned.

I have been using Java since 1.0 and it is my default language. I am writing Java code today.

I write functions using ‘static’ all the time. I prefer that a function be static. It shows that it does not depend on state of the enclosing object. Using ‘static’ on methods is not a bad habit. Having static fields and state is to be avoided.
Markets react badly to uncertainty. The incoming administration has announced huge tax cuts without explaining how they are going to pay for it.

Either there is no realistic plan or the ministers involved have been too incompetent to explain it. Neither explanation inspires confidence.
Ask HN: As a VP/Leader how you redesign organization structure in large company?
Yeah, because we never built the grid and storage this requires to go it full way. Instead right nowadays we are shutting off wind and also biogas production again because of storage and wires lacking.. instead we killed storage projects since long. That's why we will always need dirty expensive base power while discarding cheap clean energy, and the exchanges gamble.

My spouse is a designer and Adobe has her locked in. To be active in the market she must personally pay a monthly fee and the software she needs most is Adobe Indesign (for print publishing). This software has drastically gone downhill in quality, but there are no viable alternatives. The situation is bizarre, because older veteran print designers keep old laptops alive with old versions of Indesign. Meanwhile she isn’t even sure whether her project will blow up or render/print the way it’s supposed to. It boggles my mind how something so big and so simple doesn’t work the way it’s supposed to in 2022.

You’re probably not upset because it’s just photoshop for you. But specialists like her feel like they will end up paying more for even shittier buggier tools.
This was considered a cost at least 20 years ago. (Probably those pesky environmentalists making a fuss about nothing though)

There's been a continual fight since then by some states to continue poisoning their fish with mercury and other coal byproducts while other states try to stop them.

Here's a story from a few years ago when the government decided that it wouldn't enforce this 20 year old law anymore:

https://portal.ct.gov/AG/Press-Releases/2020-Press-Releases/...

> Attorney General William Tong today joined a coalition of 25 states, cities and counties in suing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) over its rule reversing the agency’s determination — first made nearly 20 years ago — that it is “appropriate and necessary” under the Clean Air Act to regulate mercury and other toxic air pollution from coal- and oil-fired power plants. The new rule undermines the 2012 Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS), a landmark rule that has substantially reduced emissions of mercury and other hazardous pollutants that harm human health and the environment, and that pose especially significant health risks to children and pregnant women.

> “Mercury emissions are hazardous and must be controlled. These successful standards have protected countless Americans from the devastating health effects of mercury and toxic air pollution. Down-wind and coastal states like Connecticut are particularly vulnerable and rely on strong federal regulation to protect our air and water from harmful air pollution. This rollback is an unlawful gift to the coal and oil industry and must be reversed for the sake of the health and welfare of Connecticut’s citizens,” said Attorney General Tong.

You can see why a state with half their electricity from nuclear would be annoyed by this.
And none of the listed languages enforce main to be part of a class, hence the described problem didn't exist for your students.

I've taught C to beginners after the Java class and whilst there are some related problems those students encounter, the extra confusion caused by having main in a class doesn't exist (and doesn't cause as much syntax vs logic confusion later on).
