So is the Uranium extraction story better in those countries? I think that would then be the next question.
I suggested a different path for the exactly the reason you are coming off as as an ideologue now.

No one had to bring up Trump, but the author chose to. It makes his argument weaker by saying "WE NEED THE TRUTH!!" but then just talks like someone who spent years with their screen saying "IT'S ALL LIES, HE IS HITLER".

As much as I don't like him, it's plain as day that it wasn't "all lies" or "academic bullshit". I work in an industry that was drastically albeit temporarily changed for the better by a couple policy decisions the last admin made, they were shit on endless by the media that was dead-wrong. Seeing it first hand was a noticeable moment for me.

Both you and the author can't even take a moment to see past yourself, but that's what the point of the article is about. How bizarre.
That's curious, the score must have been bouncing around a lot via a lot of upvotes and downvotes.

I was being partially cheeky with the answer, though it was also partially genuine, i.e. why are conversations with either loud mouths or silent types unappealing?

I'm confused about what "the rules" are for fake news. Once we a week we go to the supermarket, and lining the checkout aisle we see tabloids peddling what seem to be obviously false celebrity gossip stories, but presented as news. This has been going on for as long as I can remember - so, at least 30 years.

I guess we're supposed to be alarmed here because MSN was once not a tabloid? Not that I would know, I've never read it.
Doesn't change the fact, that it is not actually clean, does it?
Yes, it is correct that my comment was generated by GPT-3, which is a large language model trained by OpenAI. As a language model, GPT-3 is capable of generating text based on the input it receives, but it does not have the ability to browse the internet or access external information. Therefore, any contradictions or other inconsistencies in my responses are a result of the limitations of the model and not due to any intentional deceit on my part.
>Instead, it was "You need to follow the truth I agree with!" which is just more post-modernism in the name of something else.

Are you advocating for a world where no one is allowed to be opinionated, hold contrasting views or even have some cognitive dissonance?

If one won't entertain other ideas or include additional facts/data into their world view, discussion about the universe, our place in it and compromise become impossible.

But that's not to say there's no such thing as objective facts (note I said "facts" not truth). There absolutely are. Truth is (often) something else altogether.

But many ideas aren't fact-based. Rather they are based on religious/philosophical/social doctrines which are often reduced to a sentence or a soundbite. Which is a ridiculous thing to do as most ideas are more nuanced and complicated than a single statement can elucidate.

E.g., "BLM members are Marxists" or "all Republicans are racists", etc. are all just tropes used to signal membership in a tribe.

But reality is much more nuanced. I wish more folks would look at the world through the lens that a variety of view are critical to the human condition -- as long as those views can be investigated/discussed/addressed in a reasoned way.

Holding beliefs that differ from that of others is the human condition. That you disagree with the author's stance doesn't mean that they need to change their stance, rather it means that there are discussions to be had to arrive at both understanding (which doesn't imply agreement) and, hopefully, the ability to either agree or agree to disagree.

That's not always possible, but the humanity is in making the effort to do so.

If one is unwilling to modify their beliefs based on new information and synthesis of that information with their own knowledge/understanding, that's sad.
It's been an open secret on blind that cheating on remote interviews is highly, highly common, and has been with language models since late 2019. Best part is that these same folks end up getting promoted because as it turns out once you have passed the stupid coding hazing ritual, most jobs at the FAANG will NOT need you to solve leetcode style problems.

I'm honestly excited as heck that something will finally kill off this practice. Don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out, leetcode.
Really worth listening to some of the final results at the bottom of the page. Sounds fantastic to my ear.
The situation with possible fossil life on ALH-84001 is one where if you are seeking consensus you probably have to wait until all the existing astrobiologists retire or die off. Having met and talked through the evidence with some of the principle people involved in that investigation, I'm personally convinced that the evidence for fossil life is very strong and the present criticisms miss the mark. But the announcement was so mishandled and politicized that continuing to fight that battle would be career-ending for all but the most senior scientists.

Regardless though, the fossils are not what I was referring to, but rather the simulations confirmed with mineral analysis which showed that the interior or ALH-84001 was never heated to more than 40 deg C (iirc) during its entire journey from Mars to the antarctic, and that had life been in the rock it would have survived the journey.
In my experience the role of non technical managers is to assign blame to the technical staff.
Truth is overwhelmingly inconvenient. Unlikely to draw advertising or funding from "stakeholders".

Lip service on the other hand, is cheap and ubiqutious. Perfect for the limited lifespan of the average stakeholder.

Education does not check self-interest, nor does wealth. "History" is cherrypicked and spun to useless effect. "Chip Wars" a case in point.

That leaves a single useful guide: Biology of life on this moonmeld. That record is full of interesting studies and lessons. Also highly inconvenient.

I don't disagree re: the downsides of Python specifically, just threw it out as an example.

> I find the idea that programming something in a system-level language is some kind of lost, arcane craft that shouldn't even be attempted quite perplexing.

Well, some of us are self-taught developers and so system-level languages are very unapproachable.

Ultimately though, seems like a simply unnecessary headache even if one would be competent in using those languages. Friends of mine with CS degrees still don't opt to do side and hobbyist projects in those languages, for example.
I owned a Great Wall for two years (H5/Haval). It wasn’t terrible (it had a Mitsubishi gasoline engine and GM engine computer), but GW did the integration engineering themselves and it showed. My go to example was the belt tensioner. It tensioned the belt, but all the forces went through one bolt head. Whereas my ‘95 F-150 had a specific boss cast into a bracket that accepted a half inch ratchet allowing you to use a breaker bar.

Ford and GM have more than a hundred years of experience in what works and what doesn’t (although cost-cutting may not really let the former shine). It’s not until these vehicles see widespread adoption in the native market that the industrial practitioners will build their own knowledge base.

This is a very disingenuous take. "If You Disagree With Me, You Want People To Die" is also not the best way to signal your openness to an honest debate.

> The truth is, hormone therapy saves lives. Some of those lives will be teenage lives.

The truth is - the current research about that is lacking, we know that there are serious (and good faith) arguments against claiming that puberty blockers are reversible, and we know that many clinics simply don't collect data about people post transition or distort whatever data they do collect:

"For those late to this: In April I published a very long post laying out the severe flaws in a study about puberty blockers and hormones University of Washington researchers published in JAMA Network Open, and how they exaggerated the results when describing them to the media and to UW’s own PR apparatus. The very short version is that the study has so many flaws that it does not provide us with any evidence whatsoever supporting the idea that kids who went on gender-affirming medicine (GAM) experienced beneficial outcomes relative to the kids who did not.

In fact, any genuine comparison between the GAM and no-GAM kids 12 months out is impossible, because 80% of the kids who didn’t go on GAM had dropped out of study by the final wave of data collection, leaving just six remaining. That is far too small a sample to draw any conclusions from. (The paper gave no explanation as to why some kids went on GAM and others didn’t, making it impossible to know whether this was an otherwise apples-to-apples comparison, so even in the absence of this attrition issue, the results would have been difficult to interpret.)"

One thing that sticks in my mind about this issue is the implicit blackmail. "Your kid will kill themselves if you don't do X!" is a jarring and terrifying framework for any parent to deal with, but I'm not aware of it existing anywhere in healthcare except in trans issues.

Consider for example if my teenager told me they'd kill themselves if they're not allowed to watch TV. MAYBE unlimited TV is the only way to ensure they don't carry out their threat, but if so this only reveals a deeply dysfunctional mindset that should be further investigated.

This inquiry seems to be completely missing from the trans discourse as far as I can tell. I find it genuinely alarming how little curiosity there is from the trans-affirming side as to what exactly causes someone to be feel dysphoria. The inquiry almost doesn't seem to matter, with the prognosis basically taking the form of "don't worry about why, just make sure they get cutting-edge plastic surgery and experimental hormonal treatments or else they'll kill themselves."

The current state of "gender affirming care" seems like a band-aid solution that papers over a much deeper problem, and I don't understand how we are helping trans people by turning a blind eye to the root cause of their suffering.
The takeaway for me is that anyone who doesn't like large centralized social networks having and using this kind of influence over the dissemination of information, whether because you didn't like twitter's earlier management or because you don't like its new management by Elon, or some other reason, should be cheering the recent growth in the fediverse of decentralized social networking sites.

What nonsense. Being concerned with Twitter's behaviour is neither "right-wing propaganda or disinformation". Your comment might be considered disinformation though.

In-short: "Anker has built a remarkable reputation for quality over the past decade [...], including the Eufy home security cameras [...]. Eufy’s commitment to privacy is remarkable: it promises your data will be stored locally, [...], that its footage only gets transmitted with “end-to-end” military-grade encryption, and that it will only send that footage “straight to your phone.”

So you can imagine our surprise to learn you can stream video from a Eufy camera, from the other side of the country, with no encryption at all."

Amusingly enough if you actually read the tabloids (or at least decades ago this was true) they often were just reprints of actual small-time news stories; the tabloids basically made the front cover out of "Bob in Bobville said what his brother done got et by a hornytoad".

i'm just saying there are 2 issues nowadays :

peak production issue

and how to keep producing electricity in the next year, as gas is difficult to source, and the tank might eventually run out.

The government is just making a single campaign to simplify the PR !
In the same ads, they ask citizens to both reduce energy consumption (eg lower heating to 18°C), and to delay intensive usage out of peak hours (eg use you washing machine or the space heater during the day and not in the evening)
Fully agree with your assessment. Bottom up is vulnerable.

Why even "the left"? When Marco from the article was put into foster care, both West Berlin and West Germany had conservative governments.
Let's not kid ourselves here, NSO is no regular "company" and doesn't face any of these issues.

This is literally an arm of the Israeli intelligence apparatus. The laws as you and I see them do not apply in any form whatsoever to NSO.
A classic example of transphobic whataboutism. Clearly you have no knowledge of what is actually necessary for minors to receive puberty blockers, which are by no means "sterilising medical interventions".

Nobody is performing bottom surgery on minors. Even for adults, it doesn't happen without a great deal of psychological analysis, lived experience, multiple concurring psychological reviews, and informed consent.

As for the "embodiment of sexist stereotypes" schtick, what are you referring to? The "play with dolls and wear a dress" stereotype is what you said -- nobody else is claiming that definitively makes a woman.

That aside, try looking at how successful transitioning has been for children who have been allowed to explore it in a safe and supportive way, versus the damage done to trans people having to hide who they feel they are for years and years.

Nobody "imposes" this on their children. The childrens' thoughts, feelings, and actions are key to even discussing the matter, never mind taking any physical or social actions on it -- you're just making another boogeyman argument that doesn't stand up to reality.

Interesting that you're one of a handful of transphobic accounts that have recently appeared, registering only to immediately spout conspiracy theories and anti-trans rhetoric that has no basis in reality.

That aside, TFA is an American article pushing its own rhetoric, and certainly isn't qualified to speak about the NHS the way it does -- but keep waving that "child abuse" banner without actually engaging with trans youth and their families.

FWIW https://energygraph.info/d/cM9gMNZ4k/availability-timeline?o... has a timeline of the various french reactors, and shows that some (tricastin 3, 4, cruas 3, budget 4, belleville 2) were restarted during november.

I assume the part of the bars which is after the green (“update”) dashed line is previsional.

It shows that more reactors should be restarting in the next few days although several (most notably all 4 N4 still) will remain offline over winter. And Cattenom 1 and 3 are apparently not planned to restart before late feb / early march.

there was also an (ideology motivated) sabotage, where EDF is forced to sell at a loss to private competitors who produce nothing, who then will turn around and sell to customers at a cheaper price than EDF. So they can claim that private is obviously better.
>Despite living in the US and being one of those terminally online people who spend too much time on HN and Reddit, your comment is the first time I've ever seen the term "MAP" in my life.

I first saw it a year ago, in The Washington Post, with regards to an ODU professor [1] I've seen it on both Fox News and/or CNN, as well.

Recently, it was in the news because a Texas teacher was fired, "Stop calling them that. You're not allowed to label people like that. Stop it, Diego," the teacher can be heard saying in the video. "We are not going to call them that. We're going to call them MAPs. Minor Attracted Persons. So don't judge people just because they want to have sex with a 5-year-old." [2]

In case anyone is wondering, the Rotherham (Yorkshire, UK) scandal refers to a British-Pakistani child sexual abuse gang that abused 1,400 kids from the 1980s to 2013.

The abuse included gang rape, forcing children to watch rape, dousing them with petrol and threatening to set them on fire, threatening to rape their mothers and younger sisters, as well as trafficking them to other towns. There were pregnancies (one at age 12), pregnancy terminations, miscarriages, babies raised by their mothers, in addition to babies removed, causing further trauma.

Why did the local politicians and police authorities do absolutely nothing although they knew for years?

They just wanted them to shut up for the sake of diversity. No one wanted to sound the alarm that these evil men from Kashmir and Pakistan were systematically abusing kids because they didn't want to sound racist.

It's appalling the amount of mental gymnastics modern "progressives" can engage in to explain away evil.
NSO develops cyber warfare weapons, it sees itself like any other weapons company building guns or tanks and it's regulated the same way.

Building a tank factory is legal if you pay taxes and only sell your tanks to whomever the government lets you. Killing someone with a tank is not.
They also tell us to stop eating red meat in order to "save the planet."

Elon Musk can exort us all he wants to have more children to create labor for his electric car factories, but for those among us who want to remain childless and/or are atheists, let the next generation fend for itself, just like all others that have come before it have done.
You can both say that people should be able to self-govern themselves and at the same time have a cut-off age before which they should not. The trans debate would be much less heated if it did not involve other people's children.
I guess the take on that is, that there is no good regulation for it. If it can be one way in one city, for some of the shops, and different for other cities or other shops, then the measures/policies are not really reaching the target. Apparently one cannot rely on people doing the right thing, especially not, when they are in some kind of loosely associated group like a business, where no one feels responsible at the end. It might be a topic which needs intervention by the state to get the desired effect.

That’s like saying you think a server can reject a wrong password on the backend, but it’s faster and fewer packets going back and forth if the client JavaScript just verified the password before sending POST. This is nuts. At least there’s nothing fundamentally wrong with a card reader also rejecting the transaction.

(It’s also not fewer packets. Although it does require the backend to know whether the card reader can read a chip, and I don’t know whether the reader reports this as part of the transaction. OTOH there are rather severe penalties assessed on merchants with non-chip-capable readers, so something up the stack has at least some idea.)
Pre-trial detention:

"To date, there are approximately 60 risk assessment tools deployed in the criminal justice system. These tools aim to differentiate between low-, medium-, and high-risk defendants and to increase the likelihood that only those who pose a risk to public safety or are likely to flee are detained." [0]

Actual sentences:

"In China, robot judges decide on small claim cases, while in some Malaysian courts, AI has been used to recommend sentences for offences such as drug possession. " [1]

In both cases it's a recommendation. For now. Certainly better than a corrupt judge though. Until dirty prosecutors and policemen find a way to feed the system specially crafted input to trick it into giving guilty verdict and a long sentence.
