Is it related to Android though? I read somewhere/thought that it is primarily the Google Maps cars recording WiFi data and not phones). Europe wouldn't be covered at all if it was coming from the phones, right? (GDPR)

I mean, you can have a street full of iPhones - which I assume is a regular occurrence in USA, where people trust Apple - and still Google Maps on iPhone would guess well enough where you are. For example, I'm far away from the street and Google hasn't passed here recently, so my WiFi-based location is always way off (using Android). In my other home (and vacation home in another country) it's the opposite, because the cars have passed quite recently.

The story checks out so far for me... but I am kinda lazy to search for the source on this right now, so pls share if you have it.

Fentanyl came in from China for years before they moved the synthesis to Mexico. I was active in online drug forums before, during, and shortly after Silk Road. So many drugs came from China and their government didn't care. It would not surprise me if they encouraged it not just because of monetary gain, but because of political objectives. I have believed since 2010 that it was a form of warfare that they could plausibly deny. So much fentanyl was coming in for so cheap, it was crazy. I don't know anything about what's going on now, but they were practically giving it away back then

No earth is, there are things on the planet besides us and inanimate objects. There is a whole biosphere that we are destroying for small incremental gains. this is a very human-centric viewpoint. So what if a particular action does not improves standard of living for humans if it impacts billions of other species and breaks delicate ecosystems. Honestly I am at a point where I dont care as much about human prosperity (think higher levels of maslow's hierarchy of needs) as about saving the biosphere.

Well, I agree with you that the wealthy should vote for conservatives if money is their primary concern. I'm however not in the tax bracket that US conservatives are interested in helping though.

> Further, this particular question is whether the government legally ought to be able to tax without limits. You seem to be conflating that with if the government is able to tax without limits.

I fail to see a distinction here. The government defines what is legal. I suppose one can appeal to some higher power as the source of all law or something idealistic like that, but that's not how the IRS or the Texas State tax assessor work.

People fundamentally disagree about whether there is anything besides the “of”. My personal introspection tells mere there is only “of”, because what I perceive as my consciousness, is, by virtue of being a perception, in the end just an “of” itself. There is some sort of recursivity involved in the whole construct of consciousness, which makes it hard to get a grasp on. In some sense, consciousness is just that, being the perceptor and the perceptee at the same time. This recursitivity or fixedpointness will probably be key to a precise understanding of the whole shebang.
> I don't think you're even being reductive; it's just irrelevant.

The arguments here are:

"With libraries you call the code; with frameworks they call your code"

"This isn't a good distinction because there are lots of things we wouldn't consider frameworks that call your code"

That seems relevant to me.

> I'll spend a lot more time and money on making my application than I will thinking about how the Linux kernel works.

That means the kernel is doing its job, and if you swap out "Linux kernel" with "Django", that would also mean Django is doing its job. Without the kernel, you'd have to do a lot more work talking to hardware and scheduling other processes to run. Without Django, you'd have to do a lot more work wrangling HTTP and SQL.

It feels like peoples' issue with frameworks are that they force a way of thinking on you. But everything in software does that, the semantics of processes, pages, threads and so on are entirely made up, just like model view controller is.

Changing the industry overnight isn't in any one person's power any more than electing the next president, but the sum of our collective votes does decide the victor.

Large scale boycotts of the industry will drop demand, and so production, and finally the impact on the fisheries.

You can already see this at work with the decline of the milk industry in the US as consumers have lowered their consumption by about 49% since 1970.[1]

All done by the power of consumer choice.

Millions of people are already voluntarily choosing to engage in these boycotts against these destructive industries, without waiting to have a gun put to their heads. It's worth considering taking part in order to have some positive impact on the world, while also continuing to push for systemic change, in my opinion. It doesn't have to be either/or.

That's interesting, in my experience php-fpm has been very dependable even in demanding situations where we migrate over to new backends without missing a request. PHP applications can be a different story, but php-fpm provides enough knobs to restart problematic applications on demand. It's probably that last part of a PHP stack I'd want to replace.

Debugging application servers in production comes with its own set of difficulties, but I don't see how this one is worse than others. If anything, the ability to start new sockets without restarting the process is a plus.
Neither. If you want adoption then it needs to be; a parallel option to a password, and more convenient than a password.

You don't want to; add more layers to a work flow, or implement a system where the user can lock themselves out of their account trying to set up a new authentication process.

so they get compensated if they have to close it even so the government payed them to build it. this sound like a bad deal. Tax payers pay for the whole thing and the owner gets even more money if they have to close it for whatever reason.

I don't think coal is the answer but germany didn't do enough for renewables during the last 10 years when we knew we would shut down the nuclear plants. So now evrybody uses bad management as pro for nuclear reactors.

I think the reasons to shut it down are always overlooked and only the pros of nuclear energy are considered in those arguments.

The improvements in photovoltaics have been pretty stunning. Our neighbor got solar about 5-10 years ago. When our solar installer got here, he was like "I can tell those are old panels. Yours will take up about half the space theirs do and probably produce more power." Sure enough, we have half as many panels as they do and power the whole home with them.

It would be stupid to spend on storage before there is enough renewable generating capacity to charge it from. In the meantime they spend, sensibly, on renewable generating capacity.

By the time there is enough, storage will be massively cheaper. In the meantime, charging storage from gas or coal and then drawing it down is the same as burning gas or coal for immediate use, just with losses.

Another factor affecting the price is that, while there's a lot of hydropower generated in northern Sweden, there's not enough capacity for transferring energy to the south where most consumption is. The investors building industry in the north that can use cheap renewable energy don't seem to mind though. :)

What I rarely see / hear articulated well enough, and am not even sure that I can, are questions around why _I_ have consciousness. I understand the reasons why a body might develop meta cognition, and how it's advantageous for a being to be aware of it's thoughts. But none of this explains why my body is attached to _this_ consciousness and not another. 'Experience' is the key term I feel when the phenomenal aspect of consciousness is discussed, but I feel many don't understand this view point and attempt to explain it away as something reducable or inevitable.
Yes, “the climate is always changing”

Those “alarmist”.

People certainly do blame climate change when they shouldn’t, adding to the denial problem.

But in this case 90% disappearing in 2 years probably isn’t overfishing.

The algorithm found that rich white preppy kids tend to perform better at a certain job, and then generalized that to say that you should hire them over other candidates.

Yeah I do mean for buttons. I strongly prefer having the equivalent of `cursor: pointer` for all buttons in the UI. This change is the primary reason that I didn't switch to the minimal theme before. Is there a way to bring back the pointer for buttons in the 1.0 default theme? Or will I need to create my own theme for this now?

Edit: Ah I see. You're suggesting installing the "Style Setting" plugin, installing and changing the theme to "Minimal" and then setting the "Cursor style" to "Pointer".

Context of this thread is nuclear, which isn't useful for most forms of transport.
Do you have any evidence that there are people “who guess well if someone is lying”? In the absence of a controlled, reproduced study, I’ll stick with my default assumption, that this is just another rumor or superstition.
No need for personal attacks. I'm not a sore loser.

I think it's a waste that we've not maintained the reactors well enough to still have them able to run at a profit.

And generally that we've (the government, both sides) haven't done anything about it in the last 10-20 years when they had a chance to invest in alternatives (whether building new nuclear or other types of energy sources).

If it's just a matter of taxes then I'm sure it would be easy for the new government to remove them and start back up the old reactors - but obviously that's not the plan. Most likely it's all quite complex and lots of factors leading to this outcome.

> Bigger wars become more and more of a losing proposition

You've missed the point. Yes, a war is generally a losing proposition nowadays. But a credible threat of war often is not.

Even more to the point, wars were often winning propositions in our ancestral environment, and so we are more likely to be descended from people who were willing to wage them in the past. That is a very difficult legacy to overcome.
There is still a lot of noise with basic tools like this (I've also used trufflehog at scale).

To properly handle secret scanning requires calling live APIs to test if keys are "real". And you need to have a way to file tickets when you do have findings... if you rotate a cred from production, that's now an outage, so you need to coordinate multiple teams.

It's a lot of work and free tools only solve one part of this. I can't speak to any of the vendors in this space but I can attest that it's a harder problem than it seems!
Or, hold it until they come to their senses and build out massively more productive renewables.

Unless a solar plant is built in a completely uninhabited place, could existing allocations / permits for local power distribution be reused to build a larger power line? I mean, there should already be a power distribution grid there, maybe just not powerful enough.

How exactly will you be 100% renewable during a cloudy and windless period with solar and wind?
It’s just easy to synthesize and potent so it’s easy to smuggle.

Manufacturers get pitted against each other and end up selling for cost + markup and a small risk premium.

Overall, drugs are cheap, it’s the regulations that make it expensive/difficult to acquire.

Easy to interdict heroin or opium from Afghanistan, not so easy for potent synthetics coming from an export powerhouse.

Safety for the consumer isn’t a concern for the regulators so you end up with this situation.
Maybe they're not looking for current students? That alone leads me to pass over a candidate unless I'm trying to fill spots for a summer intern program.
The storage should be built in conjunction with the renewable generation to avoid those excess grid damaging events which is just wasteful. Similar issue to US where constructing generation is being subsidised but not constructing storage along with it.
The comments in this very post explain why. It's going on 13 years now and a lot of HN readers still think crypto is a scam. There is still a lot of educating required.
So people always complain that nuclear is so expensive because of the regulations. However wind farms take almost as long (despite being significantly less complex) south fork wind took 4 years for the approval process, that is quite typical. So regulations really can't explain why nuclear is more expensive.

It’s not one dimensional.

Energy density can be both important for transportation and also be important for the ability to accelerate energy production without a proportional growth in mining/resource harvesting that harms the planet.

A melon sized chunk of uranium powers an Aircraft carrier of the US navy for over 2 decades while it circumnavigates the globe hundreds of times, launching aircraft off its deck and powering remarkable levels of energy demand from on board systems.

For comparison, a single trip around the pacific for a conventionally fueled aircraft carrier costs 125 MILLION GALLONS of fuel.

It’s incredibly hard to wrap one’s head around what 20 years x 125 Million Gallons x Num_trips per year looks like.
I think one of the problems is we need proof at scale. Yes there are many theoretical ways to store energy for the grid but until we see a reasonable implementation it's a hard argument to sell.
I read it as 6950 too. Maybe spell out 6 or use something as a separator (- or x or *) maybe.
