I really wish people would stop saying “F cancer”

As a society, we have the option of greatly reducing cancer deaths whenever we so choose. Let’s do that rather than raging against something that feels nothing.

It has been over 15 years since the Last Lecture and we still have done little for pancreatic cancer, for example.

According to Craig Venter, early detection is what we need to eliminate cancer:

No one is saying it’s going to be easy but we’re going to make a lot of progress over the next 25 years. Let’s decide to do more sooner.
Worth noting that in many places voter registration and property owner, even vehicle registration details are also public information.

That doesn't make it okay to push your address out to Twitter either.
Highly likely that a substantial portion of the victims, maybe even the majority, knew it was a rug-pull scam but thought they could get in, make a profit and get out before everybody else got screwed.
This sounds really interesting. Thanks for the share.
I honestly think that's a reasonable reply.

It's pretty clear that with Waymo the first response is to fail safe: when in doubt, pull over and ask for help. I was expecting that the help could include a semi-assisted remote override mode. The remote support would not be turning the wheel and pressing the gas, but giving it higher-level overrides, like "do a u-turn here". So in that case if it loses touch it's reasonable to resume traveling if it now can or once again pull over and ask for help.
Maybe there’s some Darwinian forces at play here.

Afaik, Logan is just some internet moron. He has no credentials or life accomplishments, he’s just a pretty face with an attractive personality.

So if that’s who you’re going to trust to invest your money, maybe it’s good you don’t have as much money. Maybe that’s something that will actually improve our species.

Add in that these people who threw away all this money are happy to come in and laugh about it on camera (how did society get to this point where submitting your humiliation is normal?)… like what are we really upset about here? That losers are losers and they’re being taken advantage of?

That’s life. Maybe if people weren’t so insulated from their consequences they’d be raised to actually see these things from a mile away.
I'm in the Rockies, about 6300' elevation and the temp in the winter is often sub-zero with extremes being around -25F but only a few days usually. None of the locals have an EV but I have seen them on the highway going up to Yellowstone so I have not been able to ask them about range.

The UPS drivers here will soon have a couple EV delivery trucks. I talk to them all the time so perhaps that will be useful data I can relay. It won't be graphs, just happy or grumpy driver anecdotes. I hope they give the drivers good heaters.
I couldn't say this any better. Once you have kids, everything changes. The impact of getting ill is no longer how it affects you, if you've done enough with your time, but how it will affect them. It's like a dark cloud that follows, in the back of your mind every day. Ultimately, it helps you realise what really matters, and what doesn't.
You say bell curve, which I understand as meaning normally distributed, but the point about Messi is that he is better than what one would expect to find from normally distributed ability.

I think it is interesting to ask why Messi is such an outlier. But maybe you think the fact that someone has to be best makes it all uninteresting.
It's 'Epicurus' (auto correct strikes again?), and for all of his wisdom I think the detachment is not one that I subscribe to because fear of death can well come from the fear of no longer being there to support those that are dependent on you. If you limit your universe to yourself then it obviously gets a lot easier.
I don’t know, I’ve been to Quebec and there’s a ton of EVs there so I assume people manage?
Can you explain the thought process behind Google Ads on the site?

Despite my various ad blockers (Pihole, etc), I would generally view ads on a blog as setting a tone akin to microtransactions on a video game, rather than trying to build a brand or simply document thoughts/ be viewed as a thought leader.
You mean televangelists. Kenneth Copeland and Joel Osteen are two well-known ones.
NextJS for 2023?
I do know ReactJS.

Why should I learn NextJS in 2023? Is it worth it? Does it speed up the development process?

What's your opinion on NextJS + Vercel?
Offhand, many final fantasy games shipped on multiple discs, as did armoured core. Gran turismo and oddworld.

The last of us part 2 and GTA 5 both needed multiple discs on PS4.
I'm really surprised this didn't get more engagement given the massive engagement with pretty much any other fusion story here.
Indeed, nothing to help focus the mind like having kids. Until I held my firstborn life was all fun and games.
Fine, I give up. The 1% of TG users who use secret chats can sleep in peace I guess.
And yet... no major safety events and still generating a significant amount of electricity.

Obviously, as you point out, it could be better. But I'll take France, issues and all, over coal plants every day of the week.

I expect France will get their act together.

Re: net importer, their amount of import is basically a rounding error, on the order of 0.1% of their energy usage. They are energy neutral.
> Can you think of some examples where tech was obviously ahead of its time and not accepted?

TabletPC and Newton before it.
EVs are mechanically far simpler. Mechanical parts always have issues dealing with large temp ranges (it becomes a very hard engineering problem), and the simpler the better. It’s not just oil (not needed to the extent it is in ICE cars), but everything.

For EV’s, the chemistry will have issues at low temps (fixed with battery warmers), and it has to use propulsion energy to heat the cabin, both of which will cause some loss of range.

As long as the battery doesn’t run down too low though, it’s a decent choice if other things are engineered correctly.
What would prevent what you're calling "stripping" is that a client which wants to see DANE records won't accept the "stripped" connection because it doesn't have any DANE records and none are stapled. That's true for any imaginable mechanism, if you "strip" the intermediates with conventional Web PKI certificates you're in the same place, if the client has the information already (e.g. a modern Firefox) the connection works and security is maintained, if not the connection fails.

The stapling RFC was deliberately sabotaged, by the browser vendors and they more or less openly admitted that. Not their finest moment. The TLS WG (dominated by people working for the browsers) adopted the stapling work saying we'll run with this, and then after stalling for several years they basically said this doesn't do what browsers want (it's for DANE and the browsers have decided they don't want to do DANE) so we aren't going to publish.

This is a great way to be an asshole, and if that was actually the goal (which it appears was the case to at least some extent) then I guess bravo.
You sound a bit like Oppenheimer now.
The air velocity as measured relative to a parked car is not relevant to EV range. When the vehicle is moving the relative air velocity is far different than what it is when parked.
I currently live in SF and have lived in NYC. In all honesty it's not all that different. I think the main difference is the weather and number of shelter beds. There are many times a year when being outdoors in NYC isn't possible, so they have more shelter beds and more use of those beds. In SF that dynamic doesn't exist. Other than that, it's the same in my experience.
This is exactly the reason why we need lots of Billionaires.

Sure, Fusion may be risky for Bankers. It won't be for Billionaires or even ultra-rich eccentric Billionaires.

Billionaires can also take lots of risk with their capital.

Once again the Author dismisses human ingenuity and singular obsession of people to make things happen.

Money is the worst reason. You can always print Money (We printed $10 Trillion of them). What Next? Is there anything fundamentally expensive about the raw materials used? If not, you can reduce the cost to it's commodity prices. The commodity prices itself will collapse to ~$0 if energy and labor is ~$0. Finally you need labor. With ChatGPT and Robots, labor is also ~$0

So, never is absolutely the wrong choice of word
That's definitely a possibility. If so, very expensive lesson to learn.
It's hard to evaluate what impact this will have without knowing how many Gumroad sellers are in the $100k+ tiers that are getting hit the hardest (essentially a +10% cut increase if I'm reading it correctly).

I can't see "if you decide to leave, that's understandable too" ever being a smart thing to say. Why not leave that out?
I'm not sure if you're mis-reading the quote, or don't have the implied context for the quote, which is that television broadcast did not originally pass through any persistence layer. It went from the camera to the television, never to be seen again.
>Don't downgrade to Windows 11 (yes, it's a downgrade from my point of view)

Can't concur wit your PoV. Have not had any issues with it and the improvements in features and snappiness it brought over 10 was worth the upgrade.

You can read my list of improvements here (forgot to add Bluetooth improvements): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33870655
I dropped a christmas line to the email address I found on your about page. :)
But kids were being scammed by those 1-900 "call Santa" television commercials.
True, although with double glazing you can probably make the HVAC unit smaller, saving weight there too.

And you might not need air vents to defog the screen either - a well insulated window won't get condensation on it to start with.

And double glazing typically needn't be much thicker than single glazing - as long as the air gap between the panels is sealed, then the air itself gives the whole window dynamic rigidity. That's why you sometimes see a thief throw a brick at a double glazed window and it doesn't break.
I added the download if display broken, beacause yes, it needs fixing on phone
What if a thief resists your citizen arrest and pulls out a knife or a gun?

When the fight instinct kicks in you get a very dangerous situation for both.

You don't want the security get hurt but you also don't want the security to hurt the thief.
So I guess I should start with Battlestar Galactica or 2001, A Space Odyssey?

I have read and watched plenty of sci-fi, as well as read many critiques of the effects of technology on humanity. I have also given it a lot of personal thought and my conclusion stands.
Can you elaborate? Did I miss Nate Cohn shooting up a mosque?
Those events killed orders of magnitude less people than coal plants do every year, from normal operation. Fukushima, in particular, only had one death attributable to radiation.

Fission is the only operational technology that can replace fossil fuels for base load. Grid storage for solar and wind is just so under-developed and difficult to scale. We have to stop emitting CO2 ASAP, we can't wait for tech that may or may not work. Ruling out fission because of these demonstrably small risks is wildly irrational, when the alternative is total global social and ecological collapse.

Humans tend to judge unfamiliar but small risks as being much larger - think of how there are annual panics about razor blades/fentanyl/whatever in Halloween candy, but not the cars that kill over 70 children each Halloween on average. This same tendency is exactly why there is so much irrational fear around nuclear.
One of the big limiting factors for a game like Fortnite is that the assets change significantly over time. Textures, materials, animations, audio have all changed dramatically over the last few years. There's likely very little from the initial install that is still usable, and thats before you get to file load order and fragmentation.
Contemplation of one's own mortality and limited time on earth is a daily practice in most traditional religions for a long time.
I am sorry, I completely missed the sarcasm. Textual communication is hard. Your imitation of hn pedantry was so good that I fell for it.
The article isn't talking about pre-VCR shows, which indeed were ephemeral. The article is hand-wringing about modern shows getting dropped from streaming services in 2022. These shows are almost certainly preserved online through file sharing.

The article ignores filesharing and tries to suggest that the ''disappearance'' of modern shows is somehow worse than the disappearance of pre-VCR shows: "TV Has Always Disappeared. This [disappearance of shows in 2022] Feels Different"

The real reason it's different is because these modern shows haven't actually disappeared, unlike those pre-VCR shows.
My clients included startups and real businesses at every stage in the business cycle. I am now in house and until involved in running a profitable business. The video you linked is just clickbait FUD; structural issues are way worse in the Southeast states that businesses claim to love. (But without massive government subsidies, businesses don't naturally choose to be in those states... hmmm....)

I clearly know more about running a business than you in the state is California.

If you're truly having this much trouble running your business in CA I suggest reaching out to your local chamber of commerce for support.
My old vehicle gets really grumpy at -10F. I use an oil pan heater, a battery maintainer 1.5 amps, 2 heat-lamps above the engine and fuel additives heat, seafoam that keep it running. The only downside is that I feed all the local birds and they discovered my heat lamps.
PS1 had dozens of games that shipped on multiple discs, PS2 had somewhat fewer but the ones that I remember off the top of my head are Xenosaga 2 and 3.
Agreed! AFAIK much of that video was news.
The majority of Americans do not live in areas that get below 20F average for extended periods of time. Your particular use case is atypical, especially for EV buyers, so it isn't shown.
I think that effect comes from soccer being somewhat multi-dimensional: the ability to run fast, aim well, have stamina and so on.

And yes, I think that the fact that someone will be the best makes it uninteresting, or at least a lot less interesting than if a skill could be universally taught to the point where everybody would be very good at it and it would be productive.

Professional sports is roughly at the same level of interest to me as a circus.
Actually ethnic Germans also include many people who repatriated from Russia etc. (not that much neighboring).

As another commenter said, more migrant population does not lead automatically to better integration.
Maybe? Not that I use Uber/Lyft/taxis much but, when I do, I of course prefer them to be cheaper but +/- 30% pricing pretty much wouldn't affect if I take them or not. It's still a significant premium relative to driving myself at home and, if I'm traveling, I may not have much of a choice.
Not everyone is necessary. You just need a critical number to balance the grid.
Very impressive and very clean. I’ve set up many user scripts for websites I browse for all of my devices. User scripts are indispensable to me.

Two quirks:

1. In Safari on my iPad, “add comment” is invisible, since it still uses the white font from vanilla HN. I’ve fixed this by adding “color: #333;” just below your existing “background-color: white;”

2. There seems to be no way to indicate if I have already read a post. In vanilla HN, read posts are slightly more faint. This script breaks that by overriding all links, including a:visited.

Otherwise a nice set of great QoL changes.
Looking at Wikipedia, the air might have been too humid in the old house. Ventilating or heating might have helped.
They're talking about the shows recently removed from HBO.
> And the reported wind chill matters when the car isn't moving.

It matters in the sense that a parked car in the wind will cool to ambient temperature faster than it would when the air is still, but not in the sense that it will ever get colder than the actual still-air temperature. Wind chill affects rate of cooling, but (in the absence of evaporation) not the actual low temperature that is reached. Since the concern with loss of range or or starting capacity usually has to do with how the batteries perform at at extremely low temperatures, it's probably closer to true to say that "it does not matter".
I'm in Fargo and one of my coworkers recently got a Model 3. It's going to get much colder in the coming week and I'll be asking him about what kind of mileage he's getting.

Edit: Just looked through r/Fargo and found this thread on EVs here

I manage an internal CA at home with Caddy, which uses Smallstep.
I distribute the root crt to my devices with Ansible.

PSA Google billing and not refunding RMA hold
I have 3 Google RMAs this year. I thought I had resolved these changes before with google but they haven't been resolved yet. I have spent hours on the phone with google over the last 4 months and I've been told it'll be resolved numerous times in the next month.

This is more than $1000 from google that hasn't been refunded and I don't seem to have a course of action to get the money back without losing my account.
"people have other problems"

You certainly seem to have some.

I have a large digital library but that does not mean that they approach the value of an actual bound book. Especially one with fond memories attached.

I am not a boomer but i found your remark teeming with ignorance and misplaced emotion.

You'll see this same attachment in people who keep drawers full of old phones or just keepsakes from old trips and adventures that an outsider would only see as garbage.

Really, it just seems ironic to come on here being bitter and hateful while complaining about boomers...
"Most" measured in hundreds of tonnes leaves a lot of "some" that does not in fact remain in or near the plant, including daughter-elements which are themselves highly bioactive, notably iodine, cesium, and carbon. Uptake of these results in embedded radioactivity within an individual.

Of Hiroshima and Nagasaki specifically:

Among some there is the unfounded fear that Hiroshima and Nagasaki are still radioactive; in reality, this is not true. Following a nuclear explosion, there are two forms of residual radioactivity. The first is the fallout of the nuclear material and fission products. Most of this was dispersed in the atmosphere or blown away by the wind. Though some did fall onto the city as black rain, the level of radioactivity today is so low it can be barely distinguished from the trace amounts presents throughout the world as a result of atmospheric tests in the 1950s and 1960s.

<https://k1project.columbia.edu/news/hiroshima-and-nagasaki>

Possibly more applicable to your assertions is the story of "Downwinders", in the US and elsewhere, who lived, and live, downwind of atmospheric testing sites. In the case of Southeastern Utah, particularly the community of St. George, this included some 330 atmospheric nuclear blasts conducted on the Nevada Test Range from 1951--1962. (Similar or larger instances of testing occurred elsewhere, notably in the former Soviet Union, were either less studied or studies are not as publicly available.) Whilst there were definitely health outcomes, those are largely attributable to the immediate and near-term exposure to radioactive fallout, largely in days and months following the blasts. I'm not aware of any significant long-term residual radioactivity in the region, and the Wikipedia article on the subject mentions none:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downwinders>

Contrast the previously mentioned Chernobyl war zone in which Russian soldiers were exposed to radiation consequent to operations in the area, well above acceptable levels, some 35+ years after the incident at the nuclear plant there.

<https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/unprotected-russian-sol...> Archive: <https://archive.vn/aeIix>

The WHO's assessment of present risks at Chernobyl:

Currently, concentrations of radioactive caesium (Cs-137) in agricultural food products produced in areas affected by the Chernobyl fallout are generally below national and international standards for actions. In some limited areas with high radionuclide contamination (e.g. in parts of the Gomel and Mogilev regions in Belarus and the Bryansk region in the Russian Federation) or areas with organic poor soils (the Zhytomir and Rovno regions in Ukraine), milk may still be produced with activity concentrations of Cs-137 that exceed national standards for action (100 Becquerel per kilogram). In these areas, countermeasures and environmental remediation may still be warranted.

The article isn't about pre-VRC shows.....
This is kind of silly. Yes, nuclear is more expensive than wind, but this is irrelevant because (as the article also acknowledges) you can't replace nuclear with wind, you need something that works when the wind is not blowing.

Rather, the tradeoff is between nuclear power and carbon-based power (and also hydro, but most places already built all the hydro power that geography permits). And the problem is that nuclear is also more expensive than natural gas power plants. However, those are slowly ruining the planet, and if you take the cost of climate change into account, the carbon is much more expensive.

The solution is for the government to either subsidise nuclear or tax carbon, to account for the externalities. This still won't make fusion power attractive right now, but in a couple of centuries we will be running out of the most accessible uranium deposits, at which point fusion might look better.
Not sure, what I should write here now, LOL.. let me wait 10 more minutes :)

Last spring a moose charged me out of nowhere, then followed me through the woods, off trail and in deep snow, and charged me again. Each time I fell on my face in the deep snow and had to pick myself up and try to get behind cover. In my memory, I was moving excruciatingly slow. In reality I think I was moving as fast as I've ever moved in my life. It was almost like I was standing outside myself, observing and telling myself what to do.
