Yes and no. The 10 years maintenance was foreseeable, but during that they discovered a stress corrosion issue, initially on the (somewhat beleaguered) N4 plants but which turned out to be a lot more widespread than that.

It’s also chicken-decisions coming home to roost: maintenance delays due to covid, poor maintenance conditions leading to strikes, and training of new maintenance staff had apparently been slashed because an expected shift to renewables means you apparently don’t need to train staff to maintain 50+ nuclear plants expected to run for decades more.
That sounds like it's roughly on the level of Steven A. Smith.
What if you get stuck in the gpt3 generated internet? What if we already are?

However, in this case NSO also operates the tank / spyware. They are more like weapons company and an army for hire at the same time, where you can't just buy the weapons and use them yourself.

I think that is confusing many different things and specifying them as 'truth'. This gets complicated in social situations where opinions firm feedback loops and due to complexity of the causality tree people don't understand if what they are talking about is an opinion or a truth.

This gets more complex when you start talking about local maxima versus global maxima, and even comparing local maxima from different locations.

Truth is not simplicity and this leads to a lot of social problems between different groups.

And none of that changes the basic fact that they tend to donate a lot of money, goods and time to charity-related projects. It's almost like saying "yes sure they donate, but it doesn't count because of this random list of reasons that I don't like".

Also, another major myth of the U.S is that social safety nets don't exist. They're not as well woven as they are in many developed countries, but they're very present and heavily funded. In fact, the single largest annual U.S federal budgetary outlay, costing trillions per year is the whole range of social support programs managed by its government (see link below).

What's more, keep in mind that managing such a thing is much harder in a country of 320 million people than it is in your average European state, of which none have a population of over 90 million (Russia excluded). The U.S social safety net could be much better, especially if spending on other things were discounted, but it's not absent or even close to it.

Also, I partly exclude military spending, because though this viewpoint won't be popular at all here, the colossal U.S defense budget works as a sort of (very flawed) global safety net for many other countries in their relations with certain neighbors.

Wealth and privileged upbringing do not result in intelligence. On the contrary, children brought up being able to goof around in comfy surroundings often turn out to be mediocre regardless of the standard of their education.
I'm leaning towards it being life myself. I just wish there was way kore of a smoking gun there than there seems to bez though there's a lot of tantalising circumstantial evidence

I suppose in the end it might actually be settled by the sample return mission, if similar fossils or even living microbes are found.

Agreed that the announcement was extremely mishandled, as has seemingly become a tradition in astrobiology.

Every major announcement like this har turned out to either be completely false(Martian canals, macroscopic life in Venera images from Venus, extremophiles with arsenic in the genetic code), or much less cut and dry than it seemed(ALH, phosphine on Venus).

Also just wanted to say, it's so nice to have a discussion like this where we disagree but in a civil manner and exchange interesting thoughts. It's a rare thing these days, so thank you.
It technically has already been happening albeit on a smaller scale. It is frankly for the best in a sense that it will force mainstream to recognize it as an issue.
Why do you need to be a top IC after years managing managers? Some of the worst managers I've seen tried to cling too much to the technical details, which is smothering to the actual ICs.
Is it even fair to call that mediocrity?
Missing a random rachelbythebay or ACOUP post and an in-depth analysis of some medieval book collection also. (Though "The Scary Truth about Egypt" and "What to love about Small, Frozen Sausages" come pretty close)
At the first day on my first professional programming job in 1980 or so, my new manager told me that I would be writing a brand-new 6502 macro assembler, in 6502 assembly language, to replace the slow & limited one supplied by the vendor (Ohio Scientific).

Under his guidance I wrote the assembler, and even earned a raise after simulating the hashing function in FORTRAN and finding it lacking.

I still have very fond memories of that job and of the 6502, and would be interested in purchasing a replica as soon as you go into production!
I would expect the bandwidth demands of the US military to be effectively infinite. Especially if the connection can be guaranteed and is low latency.
Communication is incredibly valuable in maneuver based combined arms warfare. The main limit is being able to quickly react and properly coordinate. For that comms are important, and reliability of comms is incredibly valuable, with latency being important as well.

Starlink has the very nice feature of being robust, just by virtue of having soo many satelites. China can easily knock out 4 geostationary satellites. But hundreds of low-orbit satellites make for a very difficult target.
> 80% of the kids who didn’t go on GAM had dropped out of study

I know we literally don’t know the specific reasons why they dropped out, as they are lost to followup, but is it plausible that they dropped out while remaining dysphoric? The rate would be in-line with previous studies of desistance rates.

This reply might be too late for Hacker News, so I'll keep it concise since I think convo is dead anyways.

I would say that there are a couple ways in which religion and gender decision/identity are quite comparable in specific contexts like this; namely, they both involve people adopting assertions or beliefs that are empirically untrue (and I say this as someone who does believe in God and is somewhat religious), and asking for varying degrees of deference to such beliefs.

In the free speech context, we have the issue of when something is criticism of these subjective beliefs, versus when it is hate speech. I believe I can furnish at least one other, more clear example of a context in which, to me at least, they are pretty comparable.

I think your point about "who is saying it" is like...I agree with your example, but I don't see that can be a rule lol. That's just discriminating on the basis of who is saying it--and besides, how do you necessarily know whether someone is armed and lonely?

Does JK Rowling get a pass? She wasn't banned on Twitter, but she gets routinely dragged by a lot of people nowadays. IDK what most people think of Sam Harris. I am just glad he isn't more well-known and popular.

I also agree that it is a complex problem lol.
Making Layoffs Less Painful
Some people have been alarmed about this and did drag publishers to the courts over fake news parading as truth for much longer than three decades. That it has been having a constant presence for as long as you can think and doesn't do harm to you personally doesn't mean it's not a societal problem. Car exhausts haven't killed you in the past and have been around for ages, so... more car exhausts should be no problem, no? Especially when I choose to ignore them?
I wouldn't say you have to "sacrifice" your idealism. But I would say you should be prepared to question your ideals.

You need to continue to be idealistic by making sure each of your ideals is ideal.
No this is more akin to you buying off the shelf software from a local reseller, slapping a new UI, and then reselling it as a look-a-like competitors software.
At that point, why not have dedicated types and get rid of primitive ones? It shifts all that work to the compiler, whose job it is to excel at this kind of stuff (adding cents to penny types does the right thing automatically etc).
Whatever, there is no Russian gas anymore

I disagree with your russian narrative (payments for gas would have been processed despite the swift ban). But the objective part of this story is that EU has no gas anymore. And debates about Russia won't fuel power plants
The DoD has far more than just 4 satellites up there.

Anyway, it’s vastly easier to destroy LEO satellites than Geostationary ones. A surprisingly tiny missile fired from an aircraft doing Mach 2 can take out Starlink satellites as you only need vertical speed the satellite provides energy at collision, but geostationary orbit takes significantly more. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-satellite_weapon
How do you define empirical evidence? I’m seeing it as “information acquired by observation or experimentation”.

Either observation can include stuff that was observed and recorded a long time ago, and we therefore have evidence of the supernatural, or it’s meaning something more like observation in a more “scientific method” sense, which automatically excludes certain categories of potential reality.

> Um, no? "Supernatural" just implies that there's something outside the "natural". To the NPCs in World of Warcraft, you are supernatural, since you exist outside the rules of their system.

I suppose so, but I don’t think that’s how most people define supernatural. Regardless, this is a great illustration! I don’t think the WoW characters know anything about C++, yet it is the basis of their reality…
I'm an atheist because I believe in one less god than you do.

> France [and the rest of the EU] announced they were going to stop buying Russian oil and gas, blocked Russia's access to the world banking system so Russia couldn't receive payment for their gas in $$$ or €€€, then refused to pay for it in Roubles instead.

As far as I remember, it was still possible (in terms of banking systems/santions) to pay the gas in Euros as usual; Russia decided, unilaterally, that they would require the payment to be in Rubles (to try and limit its plummeting value). For ther rest, you're correct.
Well, I am not saying you're wrong, but it could also be true that communities are in fact getting more dull as they get bigger.

Google Blob Opera Experiment
Projectsveltos: Manage Kubernetes addons in multiple clusters
I have been using ClusterAPI for an internal project at work. One problem I saw when creating tens of clusters per day with ClusterAPI, was that all cluster addons had to be manually installed/upgraded (there are solutions like Flux, which is a solid one, but I did not like the amount of user interaction that was still required). I wanted something capable of automatically discovering clusters and understanding their state.

So I started working on an open source project called projectsveltos https://github.com/projectsveltos .

The main idea of Sveltos is to allow users to programmatically list which addons need to be deployed where (where is expressed using a ClusterSelector which selects all ClusterAPI powered clusters with labels matching the selector).

Helm values can be passed directly. Or Sveltos can be instructed to fetch those from the management cluster.

Having worked in the past in a different startup doing policy distribution in a distributed system, I know visibility is important. So sveltos provides user with DryRun mode as well where user can see the effect of a change before committing it
https://github.com/projectsveltos/sveltosctl#display-outcome...

But I was still not happy. Main reason, users still had to go and manage cluster labels. I wanted clusters' labels to change as cluster runtime state was changing. So I can express my intent and then forget about it.

So I introduced a second concept in Sveltos. Classifier CRD (https://github.com/projectsveltos/demos/blob/main/classifier...) which allows users to classify clusters based on cluster runtime state (currently kubernetes version and/or resources deployed, but I am working on adding more).

Doing so I can easily now say:
- any cluster running Kubernetes version v1.25.2 needs this version of calico as CNI
- as clusters are upgraded to Kubernetes version v1.25.2 the right labels are added on cluster so that right version of calico is deployed.

Sveltos is an open source project. Contributions are more welcome.

If you would like to know more about it or would like to see a new feature added to sveltos, please reach to us on slack. Any feedback is very much appreciated.

That depends on whether that military thinks they rely on space less than the other military.
But likely there will always be at least one military that thinks it would be to their advantage.
Privatization has everything to do with the problem. Let's take EDF and our nuclear plants. Why is EDF struggling financially today ? Because, through the magic of _opening up to the market_, they have been forced to sell up to 100TWh are prices as low as €40/MWh. The new private operators that came in simply resold that. And right now ? They're even kicking out clients, just so they could sell on the market at €1000/MWh. What does EDF struggling financially mean ? Among others, fully depending on the state to give them the money they need to exist, not being able to keep training and maintain specialists to repair such corrosion (we needed to import people because there were simply not enough qualified engineers for that), not being able to build more plants and therefore losing our edge in nuclear power.

Why are most of our public services struggling ? Because over time, they've been handed out to private companies. Unemployment office ? Partly privatized. Tax collection from employers ? Privatized. Healthcare ? Partly privatized, and the beast is being starved so they can privatize it more.

There has not been a single, memorable outcome of a public service being privatized in France and it getting better.

I tend to agree, just thinking out loud.

Filling grandma's trusted news page with nonsense is elder abuse, and could be much worse if they hit her with, say, antivax conspiracies at the right time.

"it's pretty clear the laptop is a weak sauce nothingburger argument"

only if you need it to be.

I think for a lot of other people, the son of a president peddling influence to foreign powers (including the CCP) and the president denied being involved but evidence (emails on laptop and witness statements) saying otherwise.

Then on top of this you have the current govt working in collusion with big tech to censor this story. And just prior to an election where the impact could be significant.

All of these things would be considered the opposite of a "weak sauce nothingburger".
Main takeaway here is: Unplug laptop from power before closing the lid. This (theoretically, per the video) will make the Windows sleep mode operate correctly without vampire drain from network usage.
Eufy markets their cameras as privacy focused, using local storage and local processing without using cloud storage so I'm not sure how you concluded against their marketing that it's cloud based.

Also he opens the link in a new private session which doesn't have the auth cookies. Furthermore, he later explains that there is no auth happening. Lastly The Verge confirmed it by watching the camera stream using plain VLC.
I'm not a fan of oversight and strictures myself, so I see where you are coming from. Cities can be challenging in that regard, but homeowner associations can be bad, also.

You mentioned density representing a cultural pathology in service of industrialization...

It's funny, I've thought of modern suburbs as being built for the convenience of developers, specifically the single-family single-use housing developments that have been so popular for new construction in the last several decades.

Regulations have kind of created a system favoring these very large developers who acquire cheap land on the outskirts of town, build only cookie cutter houses then walk away leaving people with nothing else to do nearby, no place to walk for a cup of coffee or a beer, or a corner store or library, friends from school are too far away for the kids to play with, the expense of one or more cars are required for each family, etc.

New housing seems to be built this way because it is the cheapest way for developers to turn a profit, and they don't care that it is unnaturally isolating for the people who live there.

I think there's already been too much state coercion in this matter for decades, zoning as described above. It's next to impossible to add an in-law cottage, or convert a house to a duplex, or site a tiny house in most places, or pocket neighborhoods, etc.

It's interesting that California is pushing to convert R1 to R3, allowing single family homes to be converted to triplexes. Other places are allowing accessory dwelling units. I'm a big fan of Japan's zoning, where everything is R3 minimum, with low-impact businesses also allowed in any residential building (with restrictions on height and setbacks). If you want more land with your house then you can buy the lot next door. They have neighborhoods with a variety of things to do, not just warehousing people far away from the rest of their lives.
I just installed it and followed the tutorial. After an hour, I was able to model things, paint them and animate them. I never felt angry, to the contrary. My battery didn't take a big hit.

This study is often cited in the trans activists online communities but it has been debunked. If 98% sounds too good to be true (breast augmentation doesn't even get that) then it's because it is.

Read the abstract. The "included" the people they wanted to include, not at random, not compared to other groups who chose not to go through the procedure. Considering that these researchers receive funding for their chair from a growing multi-billion industry this is even more reasons to be skeptical of the way they "included" their sample.

And that's not even addressing that they did not check if they were "happy", only that they continued to take hormone therapy when they were about 20, that's way too early in adulthood considering that the pre-frontal cortex finishes developing in the late 20s.

And the there's the sunk-cost fallacy that of people not admitting of making a bad and irreversible decision.

And researchers in academia are afraid of opposing the trans actvists.
And yet earlier in the very same work, that author says:

"This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him. God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will." (Hebrews 2:3b-4)

Here he presents three types of evidence which are meant to corroborate Jesus' words:

1. The eyewitness testimony of the original disciples

2. Testimony from God, in the form of signs, wonders, and various miracles

3. Evidence of the Holy Spirit in the early Christians.

I don't personally see that the world is round; or that microbes and viruses exist and make me sick; or any number of other things which modern science tells us. Yet I have assurance that they are true. That's the kind of faith the authors of the New Testament are recommending (including the author which you quote).

Excellent and hardly mediocre. "Common sense" is anything but common.

But I have found in interviewing veterans that a no-panic approach to problems is a very powerful force in business. Some of them say that a military leader who deals with actual life-and-death situations can have a nicely blasé attitude about civilian problems.
