>If Japan can’t control the technology nobody can

While I agree the German position is more complex, the conclusion is reducto ad absurdum given the Fukushima reactor meltdown is an extraordinarily complex issue without a single definitive root cause which could be attributed to simple human control.

Any human control is predicated and annotated by known assumptions and performance envelopes. Failure modes can be predicted, past performance can be analyzed and conclusions can be drawn using scientific knowledge and evidence for the basis of ones systems of control, be they industrial or environmental. Failure events or conditions, although regretful, are very important as they permit us to learn, to adapt, to grow and to change in response to events and conditions as they change or evolve over time.

Because Japan is a brave, science minded nation, it hasnt eschewed the atom even in the face of this egregious misfortune. The initial German response to the accident could best be compared to that of a child: reactionary, undisciplined, haphazard and deleterious. Im glad to learn more sensible minds have prevailed and reconsidered nuclear power as a sustainable partner, albeit somewhat irked to see its only real commitment in this case is the overwhelming demand for energy independence amidst global conflict.
Playing devil’s advocate here: this is not the same as scraping LinkedIn data. Linkedin data is public. This app requires a login info from a flight attendants to scrape their schedules. When you try to log in, you can choose to login as public or as a AA flight attendant. It sucks, but I also understand why a company may be unhappy, that a third party handles credentials and accesses internal data. What they can:

- build a 3rd part integration API, which opens up a whole can of worms. Not many tech-first companies can do it right, for an airline it’s a very challenging steps.

- build their own, but they already failed there if their employees turn to 3rd party

- ignore and let it run. This is basically unauthorized access to go and hope that the guy names Jeff won’t screw up.

- deny and prevent access. This is probably technically the easiest and safest from legal standpoint.
I don't get what's bad or "anti-trans" in this post?
Yes, I think that's an inherent balance problem, and a criticism of hooks that I agree with: hooks make it easier to slice in other concerns so more concerns are sliced in that maybe shouldn't be. HOCs were hard and a pain, which kept them relatively infrequent. As a better replacement, hooks are sometimes in a weird spot of "making it too easy".

As other commenters point out the lament that Redux has mostly fallen out of fashion, where my own experience points out that Redux is still incredibly useful post-Hooks. (For testability, for separating concerns in clear ways in a codebase, and even for debug-time tooling.) Hooks are good at what they do, but what they do should probably not be your entire business logic of your app. Striking that balance is hard, different teams have different ideas and ideals. It may take a bit before "the best pattern" emerges from all this.

Sometimes I wish post-hooks that there was a good way again to spot "pure" components in the wild (entirely prop-driven with no internal state). Obviously, pre-hooks this was sometimes very easy to see in a codebase "pure" components were most often written as functions because functions had to be "pure" and stateful functions had to be written as component classes. Maybe less obviously that wasn't always a clean distinction either: there were plenty of pure components written class-style simply for habit, and there have always been ways in JS to sneak side effects into even "pure" functions, but it was a good enough first-order approximation that a lot of people relied on it, including myself. I don't know if there is a good way to mark "pure" React components today in a similar first-order approximation other than in documentation, though documentation is a good place to start and most libraries aren't currently doing even that and about the only reliable test is to grep /[\b]use/ through your project, and even that has some issues with not every hook follows the "useSomething" naming pattern, just most of them. (And the false positives that "useSomething" may still be the best name for even a non-hook function.) I don't have a good answer here, but I do understand it as a pain point of hook usage, and one that is a low level bother to myself too.
Interesting! I found myself struggling a lot on the linked site because the random groupings made it very easy for me to lose my place and feel like i've gotten behind, but LCWO's fixed groups of 5 help my find my place a lot better.
And if I seriously respond to you, you'll escalate once again to something else in an effort to avoid giving up the point.

But the point remains, there are people doing this because they seek power because power seeking behavior is human behavior.

It is possible to exhibit power without being a bully, and no amount of hair splitting wrt to words is going to change my point.
In spite of some tense conversations with the author I am still a rg super fan: it’s fantastic, reliable, performant, well-maintained software and I would recommend it to anyone. It’s best in class.
I agree, but I'd like to play with what "moderation" means. A great example of when moderation fails / is abused is Reddit, or the big socials like IG. The bots can be overly sensitive / have lots of false positives, and the individuals in charge of moderation are not accountable to anyone (except maybe advertisers, indirectly).

I would like to see a platform where moderation exists, but it's "opt-in" only. Meaning, the mods / bots can tag / categorize user posts, and other users can control the visibility of tagged material. This way everything -- the most vile, twisted, hateful and disturbing things are still permitted a place to exist, but they're effectively shadowbanned by individual choice. Start with some sane defaults, and allow people to peel back the lid on the box of horrors if they want to.

This could work with age-restrictions (users below a certain age cannot see certain tags) as well as satisfy advertisers that their ads are shown next to the most innoffensive, oatmeal-bland content (they choose tags next to which their ads are never shown).
I think it's for hi/low power switching- radio stacks and ML models can be shared, so you don't need to reinitialise them, and you can activate only the high power cpu when required.

Farmbots and wearables are a couple of applications that would match this pattern. Camera AI and radio but running on battery.

For real life, people in Germany went to the streets a few times already because of the so-called "Staatstrojaner" (Basically a trojan that they can inject into all devices of someone who is "suspicious" in the governments eyes, they're probably using Pegasus, but I'm not super deep into that topic).

It's not fully an objective argument, butnan emotional. "Even Japan can't run them safely!" Where Japan is known for its precision and strict following of rules (perception!)

Yes, rationally the maths is a lot different, but countering emotions with facts is hard. (And then consider facts like long term deposition of nuclear waste etc.)
Yup, better advice (imo) is put metrics on all incoming requests and any external services. Add request count, request time buckets, and error counters. A lot of APM agents will instrument this automatically but it's still easy to do yourself. Some frameworks have this functionality built in

Winters in Germany are cold, period.

Source: I'm German and live in California now. Not a surprise to me that homes here don't have any heating at all, unthinkable in Germany.

Old people would literally die.

I have memories of when our heating would break down in some winters, living in an old building with bad insulation (which is very common). You could wear a thick jacket inside and a thick blanket but your hands are freezing so much you can't even type on a keyboard.
do we know how expensive (per unit energy)
US Navy reactors are? It doesn't matter how safe
they are if they are twice as expensive as
renewables (plus storage / power-to-gas).

Renewables (and fusion, although that's arguably a renewable) are obviously the end goal but until they can fill 100% of our energy needs the real cost comparison needs to be "the cost of nuclear" versus "the cost of fossil fuel plus the cost of the damage done by fossil fuels."
That's a good point, maybe we should also be evacuating huge areas around dirty power plants considering we are aware of the harm they cause to the nearby population?

Nuclear waste is a non issue. If you want to make it perfectly safe and untouchable to most bad actors, you can always dump it into a trench in the ocean. The radioactivity will not penetrate far through ocean water and will be less than other sources of radiation in the ocean today. The only reason why we do things like keep it stored on site, is because its still useful material that can be used in future reaction designs, and throwing it into the sea would be a waste of resources we worked hard to extract from the earth in the first place. I also have not seen any examples in history of people taking waste from a powerplant and turning that into a weapon against other people. So far in history, the only time nuclear weaponry has been used against humans was when it was built by an American arms factory, which is pretty remarkable considering the inherent violence that many of the elite of our species rely upon to maintain their power.
Temporal tables can get pretty bloated when the table sees a lot of updates since they essentially save a copy of the row every time it's modified. You could of course add a reaper system to only keep the last N versions, or only versions less than N days old, etc. Unfortunately IIRC there's no built in support to do that automatically.
Huh. When Patrick McKenzie aka patio11 decided to try it, he expected to lose his money, but that was not the main risk he listed.

https://twitter.com/patio11/status/1580269516331720706

Still his reason to make that bet was the comedy of being proven right about how broken crypto is when he lost his money. And not for the opportunity to be proven right and make money.
Before Creative Cloud became subscription only, you could budget the software as a one-time fee; $2500 for their entire suite of software, $600 or so for just Photoshop, iirc.

With the subscriptions, you're paying $600+ a year, every year, in perpetuity, and you're subjected to invasive DRM that'll do shit like delete fonts you haven't used recently.

Before subscriptions, upgrades were often cheaper than buying new, and you might only buy an upgrade every four or five years (the core requirements of a graphics app don't change majorly, so new versions are more about stability, optimizations, and the occasional niche feature).

... thankfully, there's enough competition in this space that I've managed to completely remove Adobe from my toolset, but it still sucks that I can't even activate my 2013 version of Adobe's Creative Suite (CS6) because the licensing servers no longer function.
> In my opinion Fukushima should be an argument _for_ nuclear power. The death toll was really low, roughly 2000, and many of those death were caused by the evacuation rather than radiation. The death toll of the tsunami/earthquake was 15000 according to wikipedia.

Isn't the pacific now significantly polluted by radiation from the plant? That seems like a pretty bad outcome, even if the direct number of deaths was relatively low.

Reminds me of a sales call to a military contractor. They were interested in an Open Source OS because of the licensing costs. The embedded OS they were using had a license that said you could run as many instances as you liked on a "single device".

Their problem was that when they operated their device it was indeed a single device, but later became many more. If they paid for the extra licenses they didn't need it would be ripping off the government; if they failed to pay for the extra license at some point they would be in breach of their contract with the government as all these unlicensed devices were released.

It rapidly became obvious that their application was a MIRV and that they weren't really going to change but had asked us to talk with them as part of their process of negotiating a deal with their current supplier.

It's hard to imagine really worrying about your license agreements if there actually were a global thermonuclear war.

What do you mean they are situated in Germany borders? You mean other countries operate their nuclear plants within Germany? I clicked on a few that were marked Paris in that map (Neckarwestheim, Philippsburg, Gundremmingen) and they all very much seem to be German owned and operated. What am I missing? Would be very suprised to hear otherwise.
In that case you need to install air/water heat pump, which not only heats the house but also the potable water. They're more costly than regular heat pumps, but are _better_ choice than individual heat pump units around the house.

It's a more difficult situation if the house lacks water circulation (heated floors/radiators).
> You explicitly compared "property taxes and some incidental maintenance costs" to "rent"

No, I explicitly contrasted them. Mortgage is rent. Rent is what you have to pay if you haven't been able to acquire the assets of your own. If you had a high salary for a reasonable number of years, you would have your own money to work with. There would be no need to rent it. Taxes/maintenance is what you have to pay when you have assets.

Even in the era of overpriced housing, a modest home is still only 1x-2x a typical tech salary. A small handful number of years working in tech and you don't need a mortgage. That's the point. Dropping down to minimum wage after that is very different to someone starting out life at minimum wage. The simple fact of the matter is that cost of living is dramatically lower when you are rich.

> Mortgage is not property tax, and it's somewhat disingenuous to try to claim it should be considered an "incidental maintenance cost".

I don't follow. Mortgage is on the rent side of the equation. It literally is rent. When you've had a high income for a reasonable amount of time, and didn't blow that high income on hookers and blow, you don't need to rent. You at that point have built up assets of your own. Thus, your only real housing costs are taxes and maintenance.

I mean, you could have invested that money instead, but the equivalent investment income more than pays the mortgage, else you would have just paid the mortgage to realize the gains on that side, so for all practical purposes that cancels out. This possibility is ultimately moot.

Squandering it all on hookers and blow is also a real possibility. This isn't a suggestion that every single person in tech is rich, because that is definitely not true, but we already addressed that in the original comment. The real takeaway here is that cost of living isn't a constant. Every person will experience cost of living differently, often very differently, and generally the richer you are the cheaper life gets. There are so many ways to save on or eliminate costs when you have assets to leverage. With that leverage, a low income can go quite far. Much, much further than it goes for someone without that leverage.

In Hawaii people still use "mauka" (towards the mountains) and "makai" (towards the ocean) to describe where they are, so you might say, "it's on the makai side of downtown," to describe an area or, "go mauka from the intersection" to indicate a directional vector. They also use "windward" and "leeward" to describe sides of the island sometimes, and will give you directions from local landmarks (Zippy's is a good one, everyone tends to know where those are, or they can see the orange sign easily) to other locations.

I am sure people would consider it, you're right. Somehow it seems like a riskier step then getting a vicious dog, given that a glitching defense-bot could shoot you or your family, or your neighbors, package delivery people, etc. Also I am not sure too many people would have the technical skill to build their own, so unless they became a product (with serious, serious liability insurance problems...) it's hard for me to picture them becoming popular somewhere like the US.

> and is apprenticing to become a lawyer in California

She's been working on that for nearly four years. And only just passed the 'baby bar' exam this year (The baby bar exam is the exam California gives -first year- law students. It requires a score of 70% to pass. Kardashian has taken four years, and four attempts, to pass the equivalent of the first year of law school).

Much as I hate to say it, those whose lives would be bettered by meaningful prison reform would probably get more out of her doing publicity and fundraising and using her celebrity status to that end, rather than becoming an attorney.
In the US--I can't speak to CLEAR--but even with TSA Pre you have to show your ID. (I'm not sure they've even looked at my boarding pass when I've flown recently. I assume the computers are correlating my ID with the flight reservation in the system.)

If I can conveniently print out a boarding pass either at home or at the airport I tend to do so. That way I'm not fiddling with my phone when I don't need to.
