Speaking of tech and horse farms, one of the early founders of Cisco cashed out pretty early (as I recall for a couple of hundred million, a small amount compared to what the company stock valuation inflated to during the peak of the dotcom 1.0 boom years) and retired to breed horses.

Kinda odd that the article names the Palo Alto Stock Farm as the "first tech giant" when it was Stanford's - the man, not the place - 6th industry to enter (lawyer, merchant, railroads, insurance, wineries, horses). Several of those - like selling equipment to 49ers, or completing the first transcontinental railroad - would be much more closely identified with "tech" than horses. Indeed, the outsize role of horses mentioned in the article was already being cannibalized by railroads when Stanford entered the business; arguably this is him entering the wrong side of history for nostalgia's sake.

The article has a very Malcolm Gladwell feel: take liberty with the facts and misrepresent what's important, so that you can write something that nobody else is focusing on, seem novel and interesting, and get lots of clicks or magazine sales.
We always used to joke that layoffs always come in threes.

The first one never cuts deep enough. People do the bare minimum.

The second one comes when everyone realises that the business actually is in trouble and does need saving.

The third one is needed as the business has been so badly damaged by the layoffs and is now bleeding cash.
Rooftop solar kills the most people per megawatt hour. It's even worse than Chinese coal mining.
This is the spec behaviour - the browser focus should immediately jump to the first focusable item in the page for accessibility reasons. (As I understand it, this is the norm for dialogs outside the browser.)

My understanding is that you should be doing two things here: firstly, dialogs shouldn't generally be scrollable by themselves (or if they are, the interaction buttons should be sticky so that they're always visible). Instead, if you've got long text (say T&Cs) that should be in a scrollable box of its own. This allows the user to see the whole dialog (interactions and all) at once. Secondly, if there is something that should take focus before the buttons do, then you should set autofocus on that element explicitly. So in this case, you'd wrap the long text in a scrollable div, and add an "autofocus" attribute to that div to ensure that keyboard based users will immediately jump to it and be able to scroll it with their keyboard.
I'd add, terrifying as Fukushima was, the actual damage seems far far smaller than the outcry. Actual death toll seems dominated by people evacuated through excess caution.

See this link for example: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_Daiichi_nuclear_di... there is one confirmed fatality due to radiation, 2k or so due to evacuation, and an upper bound on future cancers in the 100s due to prolonged low-level radiation.

The earthquake's and tsunami's death toll is 20k.

So dangerous as it is to do statistics on human lives, it's a bit if a rounding error.
Fukushima was 40 years old at the time of the accident, and did quite well all things considering.

The reactors in Fukushima and their protection against flooding and cooling failure would have never passed German safety standards.

Japan’s nuclear safety standards were way too lenient before the Fukushima accident happened.

All the changes that were implemented in Japan after the disaster have been standard in Germany for decades such as hydrogen recombiners, bunkered emergency generators and a filtered containment depression system.

If any German nuclear reactor had been standing in Fukushima, there would have been no accident!

For one, the Numberphile interview with Simons another commenter linked to. You can tell a lot about what he thinks is important if you listen carefully.
Well, a few things. First, the premise that luxury items have more utility is one that doesn't always hold up (unless we count, as Veblen does, advertising a higher place in the social hierarchy through the things we own as a form of utility but I think this is dubious in a spiritual sense). Second, I think the joy of owning each individual fine item is lessened by buying many of them indiscriminately. Third, the financial stress I see this put on people -- difficulty, despite high income, paying basic bills or building any kind of savings -- cannot possibly be offset by that.
Ooof... yeah ok that needs a look (thank you for letting me know).

Well... this is why I dropped on HN where people are a bit more forgiving =)

Very interesting. I first wondered how nature can randomly generate such a pattern, and then realized we are just falling for our "built in" pattern recognition: it would feel much more "natural" for the stop sequence to be the encoding of some specific protein without any clearly recognizable pattern... But it would actually be more unlikely to appear/survive mutation than "any long-enough sequence of A".

I also like how it is established that this has an effect on replication, but that as far as I understand we do not understand the underlying process. Humbling.
Demanding "fail-proof" is FUD. Even a windmill can fall over and kill someone.

What is good design and planning is "fail-safe" which is to say that any failure mode means the plant shuts down gracefully and with as little damage as possible. In the case of windmills, that means sticking them in fields or on open water where people aren't likely to be around. For nuclear plants, that means the whole thing is self contained and designed to stop reacting without direct human control. Every failure mode ends in the nuclear reaction ending with the radioactive materials contained.
The HP Dev One follows the HP EliteBook's poor design of pairing the pointing stick with 2 mouse buttons instead of 3. Without the middle mouse button, you can't scroll with the pointing stick and you'll need to use the trackpad (or apply some hack to the 2 available buttons), which makes the pointing stick a less effective tool.
> Would you say stances have changed at all in Germany from your POV since last year?

Not from my POV. There were long discussions to longer the running time of a few reactors by ... 3 months I guess? It was nationwide topic.

Germany wants to safe the whole world by "going by example". So instead of thinking pratically and realisticly "we" try do to things ideologically.
But what's the incentive, if they can keep running the old ones up to 40 years and beyond?
If getting shut down, blacklisted and fined $425000 is "a bit of bad news", I wonder what Stripe considers actually bad news.
> How is nuclear fuel any different in this respect? Sure it's more compact, but it has other complications regarding transport. They're still going to be reliant on other countries. Solar panels, even if imported, do not require the ongoing importation of fuel.

Nuclear requires a tiny fraction of the material that any other generation type needs. We’re talking about a factor of one million more energy dense compared to fossil fuels!

Solar and wind do not provide baseload and can therefore not replace any conventional power plant.

There is a reason why Germany just returned 7.3 GW in coal-fired power units to the electricity market:

Your opinion, based on absolutely
nothing but your armchair philosophizing, is completely incongruent with the actual science.

Gender dysphoria is not a mental illness; it is a condition, like pregnancy. Unlike anorexia or body dysmorphia, when you address the issues causing gender dysphoria it simply resolves itself.

Leave this to the experts, please (ie not a receptionist). Unless you're trans or an expert there is very little substance in your opinions.

edit to respond: a mental illness is a disorder that causes harm to yourself or your interpersonal relationships. Gender dysphoria doesn't by itself do that. Transphobia in society does.
The one that melted up was just months away from being shut down forever.

The newer ones didn't melt up. This example supports my point of view: Old reactors should be decommissioned, not life-extended.

> The very origins of "Christmas" are from people drinking the piss of reindeer who have consumed Amanita muscaria

I never heard of christmas deriving from reindeer, it is commonly associated with winter solstice, but given the first record of the festivity is in Rome in 336CE it seems odd.

Maybe you mean the "association of reindeer with christmas", but that seems likely to have originated in the 19th century.

Do you have any source?
It's not the screen that I was afraid of so much as the processing power. From my understanding, the main power draw of a screen comes from its light output and area size (they advertise with about double or triple the nits mine has) rather than from how many pixels it has. Regardless, it's a good point that I should not ignore the screen while considering the processing power needed to drive said screen!

I support HS2 in principle, but the practical outcome is dire - they are having trouble securing rolling stock, and it looks like due to noise concerns they’re only going to run something like four (diesel) trains a day on it, at 60kph - and then they’ll declare it unprofitable and beeching it, most likely.

This is just how public infrastructure projects in the U.K. work, I’m afraid.
Refer to Fukushima (referenced in other posts) for an example behavior of older vs newer reactors when exposed to the same crisis.

> We are totally clueless about the PRC's objective to say whether they erred.

We don't even know if it was the PRC's object. The PRC has taken responsibility for the first balloon, but denies involvement with this one. This isn't a big-budget project. A startup company or a university could launch some balloon-borne instrument package.

It's going to be embarrassing if it turns out to be somebody's solar telescope or high altitude pollution instrument package, both of which have been launched on balloons of that size.

> what it tells you is how powerful the established ruling class is

This is a cope unfalsifiable argument and is exactly what I am criticizing.

No matter what evidence someone shows, the defense is to ignore it and say it is fake.

You are engaging in exactly the problematic behavior that I was attacking, because literally no matter what evidence someone shows you, you can just ignore it.

It is an invincible, unfalsifiable defense that allows someone to believe literally almost anything, because any counter evidence can just be ignored because of excuses like what you bought up.

Unfalsifiable beliefs, like yours, are, almost by definition, impossible to refute and bad faith almost by definition.

There are by now several "paradigms" for interacting with a python interpreter (beyond the basic console) depending on what the primary "product" of the work. You have notebook style with jupyter, you have "studio" style with spyder and various IDE's (which even have multiple modes)

The mode that I find most useful but still leaving something to be desired in terms of user friendliness is the "debug" mode. Step by step execution that at the same time provides access to variables, dataframes etc in a second panel.

One way or another its possible to debug, but a "debug-first" paradigm would make it more fluid and fun to write good code that does exactly what is meant.

I think the key distinction here is "run my new function through the entry point of the application" vs "run my new function from a test". You leave out whatever startup time is involved from the rest of the application to get to that function, & you have a tiny feedback loop to test the function.

You have your test which gets the response, and you can still log the output to see what it looks like. It's a little slower at first since you have to write the test, but I'm not sure I see a big distinction vs "have a small script that sends the request".

>If you want to reinstall some old software, lets say MS Small Business Server 2000 or Small Business Server 2003 today, the certificates in the installation files prevent the installation of said software. So you wouldnt even get as far as being able to remove any certs.

I think at least in some cases it'll still work. What matters is that the signature was created while the cert was still valid, not that the installation happens when the cert is valid. How do we prevent backdating attacks? By using a separate timestamp signature.[1]

TLS is different. It requires the cert-holder (aka webserver) to be online at all times. You don't need to be able to validate a signature created in the past. So TLS doesn't have this problem and thus doesn't need its solution (timestamp signatures).

Nuclear plants don't live forever. Refusing new nuclear is tantamount to eliminating nuclear.

Also, there are certainly green activists against ALL nuclear. I don't have a formal survey handy, but based purely on the opinions of those that I know, far more are anti-nuclear than are neutral on the matter.

That's not the first time Stripe is pointed fingers at, and most probably rightly so, but, for someone like me, totally unaware of what Flurly is, damn their service description seems shady, at best.
Yes, you can enter contracts that include penalties. Stripe has them with the card networks, you have them with stripe.

The fines haven't been decided upon from what I understand, and you could fight them once they've been announced, Stripe is simply freezing their assets to cover the potential fine.

A small side observation: did you remember the first "fully integrated environments" of the origins? Like Xerox PARC Smalltalk workstations, LispM etc?

Well, it does not matter how much people invest in "applications" now, that's was and is the way to go because integration have proven COUNTLESS time it's value. The ONLY remaining reasons not to have it is business. An unsustainable form of business who DEPRIVE HUMANITY of much evolution potential for short/mid term big money for just some.

Think about that anytime you feel the power of such environments in some growing application, than think about what you miss being tied to modern systems because too many have developed stuff on them and do not have do the same on classic ones.
