Something that the article didn't mention is that coal plants also produce radiation, and because of the lack of protection against it, the average dose of yearly radiation you get living near a coal plant is actually higher than living near a nuclear plant. That said, the repercussions of a major disaster are a lot lower with a coal plant than with a nuclear plant.

And, as always, relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/radiation/
Those low power highway information stations are actually required to be low quality audio [1]. My understanding is that back in the day, broadcasters insisted that these stations were low quality so they would not compete with commercial broadcasters.

In my opinion, those stations actually make AM seem much worse than it really is. That scheme backfired in the long run.

> I would recommend people to use AWS monitoring

Use a monitoring service to monitor the provider of the monitoring service? Wouldn't it be better to use a monitoring service hosted on a totally different provider?

I'm not even sure running your own monitoring is sufficient in this case. Sure it's useful to have, but when something goes wrong, the first thing I want to know is if it's us or them. If it's us, I/the team scramble to fix it in a panicked frenzy. If it's them (the cloud provider), and they acknowledge it early, even a simple "we're investigating an issue with X", we can at least take some comfort from the fact that it's out of our hands.

If we just don't know the cause, we assume it's us and jump into panicked frenzy mode. Panicked frenzy days are the worst days of my life, especially if it's discovered that it was all in vain.
You've given up on Gimp? What's wrong? Did I miss some news?

Way too much cognitive load. Just have a single "ctrl". Coupled with shift, that's more than enough for most hotkeys.
True, but it's a cost of doing the business. In general, if there was a way where we could do that processing with less animal suffering we would. In Neuralinks case they could have done their business with less animal suffering, and chose not to.
> which is so hell bent on casting a poor light on Han van Meegeren

He forged art, made money by selling it to literal Nazis, and blew the money on hookers and palatial houses. Are we supposed to feel sorry for the guy?

I do have complicated thoughts on the same piece of art being valued completely differently depending on if it's signed by person X or person Y, but for better or worse this is very much a thing.
> I don't think this is possible?

Companies issue new shares all the time. As far as dilution goes, I'm speaking less about per share price and more to the plan to register all of these physical shares. It reminds me of the math problem about going halfway to the doorway with every step, and trying to decide how many steps it will take to finally cross the threshold. It can't ever happen.

Discord search is fuzzy, limited by time, and you are unable to delete old messages without a hack which puts your account at risk of a permanent ban. Discord is terrible.
As do many people. AM stations that run play-by-play sports programming do very well in the ratings, and do very well with the station's sales team.
Pretty much. A friend had a live-in nanny who needed state ID, but had no proof of US address. A lease qualifies, so the friend just typed up a lease with an address.

Good enough for real ID.
My desktop text editor, KeenWrite[0], uses EchoSVG[1], which fixes numerous issues with Apache Batik[2]. KeenWrite takes SVG rasterization a little further by also making a text-to-diagram layer available. That is, text is transformed via Kroki[3] to SVG, then rasterized using EchoSVG. (Along the way, variables are interpolated and inserted, shown in the first screenshot.)

Hi, I am just now releasing a side project I have been working on called tackle, a general purpose Turing complete configuration language and self documenting CLI written entirely in yaml / json / toml. Would love to get some feedback on the project and hear what people think. Checkout the readme -> https://github.com/sudoblockio/tackle or the
docs -> https://sudoblockio.github.io/tackle/providers/Tackle/ which are code generated with the tool.

I personally use it everyday for generating / deploying k8s manifests / values files for helm, and a couple other things but I am sure others will find more uses for it. It's sort of like Dhall, CUE, or jsonnet but cleaner as the syntax is entirely serializable. Lots more to it but I would love to hear what others think. All feedback welcome... Thanks!

The first Amendment absolutely overrides it. That's what an "Amendment" is.

Absolutely. And that's where the problem is: both parties are biased. No research on this topic, or the topic of Universal Basic Income, or gender-based equal pay, or immigration's impact on economy, or lots of other contentious topics, is unbiased. Whenever you read this type of research, you need to take it with a huge grain of salt.

That was how it appeared to me. A Google search for "cryptic crossword" and the clue itself would in all likelihood turn up the correct answer as the top result, so getting the answer correct is a less impressive feat (assuming ChatGPT has access to the internet). Most humans would think doing the puzzle that way was cheating.
There are various types of open source projects.

Some are more closed, some are more open.

Lichess historically has been closed, and they have only reached out to the community for help in the past as a last ditch effort when everything else has failed.

I love the dichotomy of their voicings. Probably one of the most beautiful timbres I have heard for their warbling songs, and then just a straight creaking screech for everything else.

Agreed with the exception that djot also applies this to nested lists, which I think is a huge misstep. User ergonomics are more important than convenient parsing, and while many markdown parsers interpret your example in an un-ergonomic way, djot rejects this:

- foo
- bar
- baz
- foobar

and demands this:

- foo
- bar

- baz

- foobar

which is an unergonomic choice.
We can split hairs over semantics, but personally I'm going to continue saying that something is what it actually does, and anything after that is merely the folly of man. Thus a social security number is an identifier, no matter how many powerful fools treat it as a credential.
If BI is wrong will they issue a retractment? Likely not. Just more clickbait. Twitter is losing money but it's one of those slow-burn businesses with a lot of capital to keep it running forever. There is no reason to expect Tesla and Twitter have anything to do with each other. Elon does not even have the authority to divert financial resources from Tesla to Twitter.
It’s kind of interesting to note that Adobe predates the Mac. An interesting bit of Adobe pre-history was that Donald Knuth used a pre-release version of PhotoShop at Adobe headquarters when he was putting together his book 3:16. He had it running on multiple Macs each processing a different scanned calligraphic rendering of a verse because the size of the image files was such that processing was painfully slow.

One interesting bit was on one of the scans, he changed a line break to more accurately reflect the sense of the text that was rendered. After the first edition went to press, he discovered that the calligrapher had rendered a Russian cross in the negative space¹ and his modification had obliterated this. Later editions made some other changes to line breaks to restore the Russian cross.

⸻

1. This account is from my potentially inaccurate recollection of Knuth’s talk at the 1994 ATypI conference in San Francisco. It might have been a cross of Lorraine and it might have been the words that formed the cross and not the negative space.
Emacs: Why Use EShell?
I always thought the original Dune game doesn't get enough love. Dune II was obviously more influential being a template for a successful new type of game, but Dune actually told the story with beautiful pixelart cut scenes and required you to follow the steps in the book, (or maybe more based on the Lynch film.) Actually my teenage self discovered Dune through playing the Amiga version and only read and watched it after so it will always have a special place for me.

Pork might have been a better food to make this comparison with, and in this particular example I get that monkeys being closer to humans is a lot of what makes this controversial, but the phenomenon I’m describing is still pertinent. There are undoubtably other experiments using monkeys in far less scrupulous ways for far less beneficial purposes, but of course Neuralink gets the spotlight due to Musk.

I used to think a lot of ostensibly moral decision making which had a net detrimental effect was something that would change if people better understood the full picture and where moral outrage would be most impactful, but I’ve seen envy dominate decision making over and over enough to learn that a lot of people are in fact quite content to harm everyone on net if it means the outliers are harmed more.

When internal employees complain, the regulators are compelled to investigate regardless of whether the person in charge has a beef politically with the executive body. Otherwise, it would be an incentive to revile the government if you know you are not in compliance with any regulating body.
I'd disagree. Madoff was a token/scapegoat and Holmes got off easy. They both also took from the rich--which the rich don't like. SBF stole from small timers on the internet. He'll get charged in a few years when no one cares anymore and let off easy.
I would assume if Amazon Go were scalable, it would be everywhere. Something must be broken with it.

I would bet my left gonad that there's more shrinkage at Whole Foods than anywhere by customers being less-than-truthful when they ring up because of the clientele. Though I'm wondering about the risk management if they would want big data to catch them or cheating on organic vs. regular bulk cashews is the "cost of doing business". Also, the people who are inaccurate at self-checkout because they're dyslexic, inattentive, spectrum, etc. I know someone who scams WF all the time and there's little/no recourse or tracking for people who pay in cash and keep their phone's bluetooth and wifi off.

Homeless people OTOH outright steal 40's of beer, sandwiches, beer, and snacks but there's no enforcement or prosecution. The majority of employees of corporate-owned stores are specifically ordered to not attempt to stop or confront thieves for the numerous liability and personal safety concerns it would create. If routine thieves duck in and leave before overworked police would ever arrive, there is zero chance of them being caught.

Random people who could afford it ripping off family- or employee-owned establishments are a different scale of nefarious than someone with nothing to eat who takes boiled eggs and bread from a giant corporation to survive.
That was not an appeal to emotion. That was pointing out that observing that some portion of humanity survives is blatantly talking past the stated purpose of these kinds of measures, which is to reduce the size of the portion that doesn't.

If your floor on what is acceptable is, as the "we survived" standard implies, the base continuance of the species, then you're effectively allowing that even a situation like what happened in the movie Threads is acceptable and it would not be ethical to try and prevent such a situation from happening.

On the other hand, if that isn't actually what you believe, then you should construct rhetoric that is consistent with your actual position.
While there are other options as you pointed out, I'm not sure it's realistic to say they're more likely an effective deterrent than prison.

People pay tons of money to avoid prison, even temporarily - see lawyers, bail, etc. Same goes for getting prison sentences reduced, even just in part, to house arrest and probation.

Just what amount of fines, house arrest, and probation is going to be more effective a deterrent than prison?

I think there's a reasonable discussion to be had about where the line is between 'enough' deterrence and excessive punishment, but it's a bit absurd to claim that things people happily accept in lieu of going to prison will be more of a deterrent than prison.
Speculation: they might be questioning the implication that a paid surveillance program pushes data privacy/ownership values forward. Paying folks to be surveilled might be better than surveilling them without consent or reward, but it does incentivize the normalization of surveillance. And, depending on your economic beliefs, one could make the case it weaponizes the threat of poverty to drive that normalization.

Personally I don't think so. Elizabeth Holmes actions could have killed people who were making health decisions based on totally fake results. SBF stole money people were gambling/speculating with. Both are bad, but only one of these could have directly led to the deaths of their customers.

The problem with many of the tasks that people are trying is: the answers are already available on the internet for those very popular crosswords.

This is my obligatory old-guy post that Space Cadet was one of three tables in the package "Full Tilt Pinball" released by Maxis (along with Skulduggery and Dragon's Keep) which came in its entirety for free with the puzzle game Marble Drop, which was apparently only ever liked by me. So if you want the full set of tables and can 64-bit-ify the installer, the Marble Drop CD might be easy to come by.
Adding incompatible ingredients (like honey) that mess with the yeast culture or kill it. "Peeking" at you loaf during bake too often or for too long. If you use a home bread machine, layering the ingredients incorrectly so that different things start too soon.

An important exception to "Always PEEK before you POKE.", because peeking can change the value of what you eventually slice.

Show HN: Custom Keylabels for Your Custom Keyboard Layouts
Hey HN,

I last posted this about a month ago and got a bit of feedback. I took it onboard and worked on the demonstration a little bit.

For those who haven't seen this: When playing around with the layouts on my keyboard, I wished there was a way I could change the labels of my keys as well (so to remember which key is which in what layer) -- this lead me to think up kapd.au as a keylabel service.

Can be used for mapping out your layers, pimping out your keyboard, making an emoji keyboard, or my favourite idea is to use it for language learning (such as learning to use CJK or Cyrillic keyboards). The stickers and print are very high quality.

Ultimately, I want to have a service where I print on the keys themselves ( and offer different shaped / coloured keys) as a full bespoke key process for the non-traditional keyboard types, but I'm trying to verify demand a bit first.

Let me know what you think and please feel free to send it to any people you know who have custom keyboards and layouts!
Wireless is over BLE, so your motherboard needs to be recent enough to have it, or if you have one of those Intel PCIe wi-fi adapters, the USB2 cable should be plugged in to a header on the motherboard (the wifi functionality is pure PCIe, but for some reason Bluetooth is over USB).

AM transmissions (10 kHz) are relatively narrow compared to other broadcast formats, so the power bill is less than FM (200 kHz) and TV (6000 kHz).

The real cost problem in 2022 is the size of the antenna. The entire tower, or array of towers, is the antenna. They can take up many acres of land. It is hard to justify not selling out and replacing those towers with more lucrative residential, retail or industrial development.
