There are a few things of note. First, when Bush Sr. became Director of the CIA he claimed to have never worked for the CIA, making him the first civilian to head the Agency. It was always odd since nobody could figure out what he did to earn the Directorship with no previous CIA involvement. That was in 1975, but we learned years later that wasn't true[0]. Bush was not only in the CIA, he was the main project lead for all things Cuba, using his Zapata oil business as cover. Coincidentally, the codename for the Bay of Pigs Invasion was ZAPATA.

Bush Sr was so important in 1963 (despite being officially just an oilman and a Senate candidate from Texas) that J. Edgar Hoover as head of the FBI sent Bush a memo right after JFK was killed briefing him about the effect this assassination was having on Cuban exiles. The CIA essentially claimed years later that it wasn't the same George Bush, but never offered an explanation of who this other George Bush was who was so important that Hoover would be briefing him on the developments.

So Bush was unofficially in the CIA in 1963 heading up field operations related to Cuba, but officially he was running Zapata Oil and he was running for the open US Senate seat in Texas. And yet years later when Kitty Kelly was interviewing him for his biography and she asked where he was when he first heard about the JFK Assassination, he said he didn't recall. Everybody alive when JFK was killed remembers exactly where they were when they heard the news, just like people who were alive on 9/11 remember it clear as day what they were doing when they saw the towers fall. And yet here is a guy doing work for the CIA which was very much in opposition to what Kennedy wanted done in Cuba, and who was running for US Senate and yet when JFK was killed he doesn't really remember it well enough to know what he was doing at the time.

Well thanks to the Kitchel memo[1], we now know that Bush Sr. was staying in the Dallas Sheraton Hotel, a block away from where JFK was killed, and checked out after the assassination.

Also in that memo it shows that he effectively called in a false flag on some other guy named James Parrot[1], for unknown reasons. It could be argued that it helped distract the Secret Service away from Oswald, who was already being at least passively surveilled due to his prior known associations regarding Cuba and political "activism" in general.

This is a lot of circumstantial evidence that is hard to explain away with a different explanation. As to why Trump wouldn't expose any of this information, that would assume Trump was more than just a conman grifter who tricked his way into the White House. Of that, I have not seen enough evidence.

From the end of the abstract:

> “The takeaway is more about replacement — if you’re using table sugar, syrup or another sweetener, switching those sugars for honey might lower cardiometabolic risks.”

It is well-known that all currently available non-caloric sweeteners increase cardiometabolic risks. I wonder if their results hold if they eliminate all study participants that reduced their intake of such sweeteners.
I’m not sure whether this actually falls under anti-trust. But you should know they anti-trust laws cover things other than monopolies. I’m sure you weren’t trying to, but switching from anti-trust to monopoly is a pretty common and easy to spot move of the goal-posts.

His pronouncements count as his pronouncements. Why are you being so strange about a normal word?
Yup and when there's no sun and no wind, like in winter in most places, you need something else, or batteries, which are ridiculously expensive both in $ and CO2 per kwh. Solar and Wind just can't do base load today, and you can't turn off the natural gas / coal plants that back them when they don't work.

This is a classic case of "doing the first 50% is easy, doing the last 50% is 99% of the work".
What an amazing ending of 2022!

You didn't train anything, you feed a part of a transcript with the question to the model, as input.
It's comparing apple and orange. Solar/wind aren't available on demand. How much would cost a wind power plant that has the same guaranteed power as a nuclear plant, including batteries for storage? what would be the environmental footprint of such a thing?

I went to check my Tutanota email and found it was deleted. I haven’t logged into it maybe 2 years. They may have notices and warnings about this, but I’m not too confident in recommending them to others.

Checked Protonmail which I made around the same time and also didn’t log into for about 2 years, and still had my account and emails. Same with that one meme email provider that starts with a C lol (I have a firemail.cc address), and I’m more surprised at them still being around and maintaining my account.
It's a good way to announce that the policy is being enforced. Plus, it's only 7 days, no permanent suspensions have occured. The doxxing rule is a good one. Free speech remains. You shouldn't be able to shout into the internet megaphone: "they're over there"... especially in an automated fashion.
Installing Arch is much closer to system administration than programming - they may be related somewhat and attractive to similar people; but you can be a quite successful programmer and barely be able to install Ubuntu.

Yes, you absolutely are. Nothing in my comment suggested you are not.

The comment I responded to specifically was upset about censorship targeted at tweeting Mastodon links and not another version of censorship which came in the exact same form but targeted X links. I just gave X a name.

I find it somewhat absurd that a person would become indignant when the link is Y instead of X.

That seems to be what Japan did after Fukushima went boom.

To be fair, coal has quite widely replaced all around the world in the last 8 years by a mix of wind, solar and gas. It's now almost as unattractive to investors as nuclear power is.
Nice, he's using pipewire and gstreamer to send a video feed. Come to think of it, ffmpeg is capable of recording the xsession and streaming output via HTTP. It should be possible to connect to that with VLC or maybe even a web browser. Will try that.
HN Suggestion: show comment number for each user
I like hearing lots of opinions about a topic, but do not much like it when a zealot is replying to lots of posts. It subconsciously gives their opinion more weight because I am seeing it many times, though I may not realize that while I'm reading through the discussion.

It would give me more context about a poster to show their comment sequence number for that thread. So for their first post in a topic, something like:

aardv 16 minutes ago #1 | root | parent | next [–]

This is a fundamental problem of social media, and one of the ways IMO to have better discussions is to limit people's participation. For example, if a person could only post a handful of times to a topic, they would likely make sure that their comment is important enough to use up one of their limited posts rather than engaging in long back-and-forths with one person. I'm not suggesting any posting limits for HN, but having a count for each user in each topic would at least alert me to maybe adjust my credence filter.

And PV is now off the bottom scale of that chart.. Some combination of overbuilding PV and Wind capacity + ever-improving battery tech "won" the energy market. Gas peakers and other stand-by sources will contribute for decades to come but when they're pricing out new nuclear builds at >$0.10/kwh wholesale, no amount of "but capacity factor!" will matter.

Good point about everyone's optimal price varying.

The solution there is to sell the same thing to different people at differences prices - lots of ways of doing this.

It doesn't matter who is footing the bill. It is crazy for any entity to invest any money under those circumstances.

The solution to one chunk of the government running mad and then handing lots of money to some other chunk of the government to try to chase after them would... uh... probably produce a world fairly similar to what we live in, actually. Which isn't a solution.

Regardless, constantly changing the goal posts with no significant costs to the ones doing the changing is a problem for any funding mechanism.
Nuclear is unique due to its physics advantage in being able to run 24/7 on a tiny land and material footprint. A good nuclear fleet doesn't need backup or storage. Nuclear plants can follow load to the tune of 2-5% full power per minute, rain or shine, without depending on regional weather or seasonal rainfall.

Furthermore we know the overall risk profile after operating them for 70 years. The numbers are in and they're excellent.

It's wild to want to not use this.
Solar and wind are fantastic, cheap sources of power, but they have their limits. They generate power when the sun shines and the wind blows, which is not necessarily when humans need it. We still aren’t very good at storing this power for use later, at large scales, in cost effective ways. So for now solar/wind needs to be paired with power sources we have greater control over, which mostly means nuclear, coal, natural gas, hydro, etc.
Just get an Apo B blood lipid test. You’ll find that it correlates with LDL anyways, but Apo B is the best marker we have, better than measuring the amount of carriers. But unlikely to divorce much, so that kind of LDL “optimism” is kind of a waste of time.

It makes a lot of sense. Solar panels are getting affordable now. I see so many houses built hot climates that always makes me wonder how much energy these houses can harvest if all of them had solar panels on them.

Option 5 is more structured but Option 3 is faster for a person to work with. I don't think either approach is necessarily more "long term" than the other unless there is another tradeoff I'm missing neither is an invalid thing to optimize the long term for.

Having to go back and modify the existing non-nested lines when you just want to add a nested declaration seems like a large source of "oh damn it" errors and twiddling when you are progressively building/testing styling. The same with wanting to keep default and pseudo-class attributes close to each other for human convenience.
> "Line stopped going up" does not seem to be a sound basis for a lawsuit.

I don't see any mention of a lawsuit, only people wanting a new CEO, and wanting a share buyback.

Literally no major shareholder expects there will never be a dip, it's certainly not mentioned in the article, so I don't know why you cared to write this comment.

The three listed reasons for shareholder activism are: "The combination of slumping stock, a distracted CEO and concerns about the Tesla brand being tarnished."

Shareholders have the right to make recommendations to the board on important topics - a right you seem to reject.

> What if this is just a dip then

By that logic, investor activism is never appropriate. Because it could always change tomorrow.

You're right. I tried Deer and it works perfectly, it's smooth and only drops a frame or two on a cold start. It's a well-written program. If it weren't for the UI, I wouldn't even have guessed it's electron. I tried using Pencil too but it didn't work for me because of dynamic link problems (not Pencil's fault - just Linux being very bad at packaging things and me running a slightly nonstandard system).

That said, the ratio of fast electron apps over slow electron apps is much worse than the one of fast native apps over slow native apps. If it's not the tech then it's the people around it. Either way, if I hear "hot new program" and it's electron, I don't think I'm in the wrong to assume it will also be rather slow.

At the end of the day, all I really care about is for the programs I use to work well and reliably. I don't really care how you make them, and as I said I don't have anything intrinsic against electron.
Mage: Make/rake-like build tool using Go
A democracy that is also a product of the availability of huge amounts of continuous energy for quite a decent price.

Insert blackouts or raise the price of energy to get access to it, day-to-day life, society and economy will not look like quite the same.

So a democracy which wants to survive the primary energy turnout ahead (oil has to go, and we are all deeply, highly dependent on it), takes the means to transform its energy usage on one side, and to sustain its energy needs on the other.

Removing nuclear-based electric energy will only sustain, at the time being, the production of carbon-based electricity. Fusion looks definitely better than fission, but it's 10s of years away still.
The root cause of this was that the hotel was forced to lower their heat due to energy sanctions. Reduced heat caused the aquarium to contract which contorted the structure, eventually causing the failure.

They run at 30-35% efficiency with a humongous amount of machinery to support them. Heat exchangers, pumps, condensers.

Compare that to the simplicity of a jet turbine where you get raw mechanical power out. They take pretty much the same engine as an airplane engine and instead of having the turbofan putting that shaft into a generator. That's all there is to it.

Today new built renewables are in most cases cheaper than the marginal cost of paid of existing coal and nuclear plants. Gas is on the edge.

That is the reality facing these investments.
> It’s more that the author is arguing that their inexperience is universally applicable. “Why do banks have guards, I’ve never had someone break into my couch cushions?”

That was not my intention and it's unfortunate that's how it sounds. Just like most people don't need armed guards, most people don't need bank level security for their disks either. Encrypting disk encryption is usually not the most effective thing you can do to improve your security, there are usually other actions with better payoff.

AWS zeroes the disks before they're reused, so from your point of view it's instant. As mentioned in the post, deleting a KMS key takes at least 7 days (and up to 30 days, depending on your configuration.) Regarding other point, that's also mentioned in the post as "if your IAM access configuration is bad your KMS access configuration might save you," which is referring to what you mention.

> It’s something you turn on and basically never think about again - the performance hit disappeared around 2010 and it’s easy to enable globally.

This is true if you, or the one you inherit the infrastructure from, configured it correctly from the start. But re-encrypting disks, databases, S3-buckets etc is time consuming and might require downtime. So it's not always easy or cost free (in terms of labor.) I'm not sure what you're referring to with "easy to enable globally", enable what?

Thanks for sharing your perspective!
