Not when it’s at-will employment. You don’t need a reason to fire anyone in most states in US. Only exceptions are protected things like because of gender or race etc - but that is even blurry to prove it.

Unions are the only protection but companies do everything to burst unions e.g Starbucks and Amazon.
If you have many petawatt-hours of hydrogen storage, you don't need batteries at all.
IPFS kind of solves this I think. If content is interesting enough to archivers, they can pay to pin that data. If you make it open, then conceivably your costs could be reduced. I don’t know if IPFS supports it but you could image a fractional ownership model.
The decision was made [0] by the CDU (government Merkel II) in 2011 right after Fukushima, not by the Green Party. Reversing it would come at a great cost [1]. Of course the Green Party also doesn‘t want to, but that boat sailed long ago.

And rational, for Germany which does:

- not have nuclear weapons

- has far cheaper renewables in cost per kwh

- is densely populated with no viable far away place to store the stuff

means to quit nuclear.

In the end the debate depends on whether externalities are internalized or not. If they are internalized, renewable energy wins hands down [2].

There is a grey line. I think only one room left is actually useful info. But yeah they push it too far. But most people in a company will be able to argue for themselves the info is useful and truthful so in their minds it's morally ok.
Look to France to see what getting too reliant on Nuclear can do. Germany had a healthy mix with some nuclear and it would have made sense to keep them running until renewables power everything (which they will). But: Nuclear can't be justed bounced around on a whim. Even the Russian war in Ukraine couldn't reverse course because the powerplants weren't getting re-certified by their operators.

The fact is that Germany will build 13 GW of renewables this year, which offsets those last 4 GW of Nuclear somewhat.
Yes,

Unfortunately I disagree as LLMs are not traditional software and not input /output systems. Additionally, like other types of high value, power imbued software like say credit scoring engines and b2 bomber flight controls, the maintainers of AI systems will be the equivalent of high priests.

The controllability of output of AI by merely writing code is not something that exists today and what we call bugs in traditional software is not the same concept as a slightly incorrect or completely fabricated LLM response.
So ... will anyone reveal the secret and say of which language this is a fork ok?

That's one of the many problems they've assumed the risk for (along with the reward of profit for solving). There are any number of creative ways to tackle it. Exploiting and abusing labor is not one of the tools they get to have in their belt to do that.

The green party hasn't been in power for the last 16 year. Still, the conservatives didn't change anything about this. Now they're a minority in a coalition. Still, nobody did anything about it.

Is there the Korean equivalent of very formal language, such as:

Yeah....It gets a lot more sparse

Strictly speaking 친구 있어요 ?
means Friend Have ?

And you would say exactly that for any of these English equivalents

"Do they have friends ?"

"Do you have a friend ?"

"Do you have friends ?"

"Does he have a friend ?"

And so on.

Plurality as a special marker doesn't really exist. Possessive and Article Determiners don't really exist either. Articles don't exist at all. Possessive markers are few and only used when surrounding context might not be enough to convey the needed information.

You might ask, well how would you know which of those equivalents 친구 있어요 means ?

It's context. Korean is highly context dependent. There is no way to tell before reading or hearing the surrounding context.

>Does Korean not have more complex / ceremonial speech patterns?

Oh boy. Let's just say formality and politeness is baked into the language.

Words and sentence/phrase suffixes change depending on your age and relationship with who you're taking to.

친구 있어요 (meaning I have a friend/They have friends etc without the question mark) becomes 친구 있어 speaking to a close friend and 친구 입니다 speaking to someone much older than you (or in a formal setting with say your boss)

There are also on how to address people you refer to in a sentence separate from rules on how you address people you speaking to.

It’s also true in general tech once you get to director or senior manager grade your short and long term incentive plans can be 50% of your BP and your BP isn’t going to be too shabby either.

Contractors do get paid more but they don’t earn more at least not anymore after IR35 since they have a tax rate that is over 50% as they are also liable for the 15.5% employer national insurance contributions now.

Overall contractors are far cheaper in the UK even at day rates of over £1000 and replacing people that earn high 5 to low six figures.

They aren’t paid any bonus, there is no pension contribution there are no benefits and there is no liability for redundancy.

Oh, and there's one really succinct way of expression that's not found in English:

One can say something like 난 라면 - literally "I am ramen" (or something like that - it's a bit fuzzy because the "be" verb is omitted). It would be a ridiculous sentence by itself, but if your friend just asked "I'll have noodles, how about you?" then it's a perfectly fine response.

Similarly you could even say 난 프랑스 ("I am France") if the question was "I visited New York this summer, it was really nice, did you go somewhere?"
Back in October the company contracting me decided to terminate my contract. I then got picked up by a different contract, through the same agency, with the same company, just with a different role and at a different campus, with a pay bump. It's been a weird year.

Well it's vastly scaled down from what was originally proposed.

The original proposal (ITS) was for a vehicle that could deliver 300 tons to LEO. Then that got scaled to down to 150 tons.

They had proposed doing "Earth to Earth" (rocket travel from city to city) with it. Not on the table now as I understand it.

They did pull off a steel-based design and an FFSC engine which is really cool. But they HN commenters were absolutely right that the original design was a fantasy.
> (...) and renewable energy expansion creates the illusion that turning off nuclear power plants now is a good idea.

What exactly leads you to believe that shutting off nuclear power is anything other than a good idea?

> Personally I'd like to see nuclear power be a part of a stable baseline for a few more decades.

It was my understanding that by now it was clear this is all around an awful idea. What leads you to still think otherwise?

The Better Boarding Method Airlines Won't Use [video]
Of course doubts are allowed, but what I'm saying is that SpaceX clearly have a team of world-class experts. They've all spend decades training, practising and honing their craft. Based on their track record, I'd say they're pretty good at what they do. They may even be the best in the world.

That makes it hard when some rando on the internet comes in to doubt or criticize, because it's virtually impossible for that rando to have more expertise than the entire SpaceX team.

If a person actually run the numbers and backed up their thoughts with legitimate reasons and a better idea that would be one thing. But that never happens, which is the problem.

If a government is aiming to increase the amount of renewable power, or a car company aims to make their cars more efficient, or a public transit operator wants to increase their service, or literally any one of billions of things that can be done, it is a waste of everyone's time for someone to chime in and say "Won't work because I said so" when they have absolutely zero experience, expertise or evidence to back up their thought that has no basis in reality.

Small companies are typically exempt from mass layoff regulations. And obviously nobody can force a failed company to continue operating. That should cover most of the "risky new company" case.

Thomas Sowell once pointed out that billionaires are correlated with millionaires, and millionaires are correlated with a middle class. Most countries without billionaires are not great places to live and work. Governments without rich people to tax do not accomplish much in the way of welfare.

Take a look at a map of countries with billionaires.[0] I would argue those with billionaires are much better at providing social welfare than those without.

I have a pension. It's guaranteed because it's a state government job and state governments in the USA are constitutionally forbidden from abrogating contracts (the Contract Clause, yeah, sure, there are exceptions, but this is unlikely to be one of them).

when they phased out the pension plan you could still qualify if your original start date was before some arbitrary date, so there was some confusing stuff where new people were not eligible but some people were still getting into it.

average profits in the realm of 2% are for grocery stores not restaurants.

Lets say you're a moderately successful restaurant that sells 200 breakfasts at $10 each. At 2% profit that means the total profit on 200 breakfasts is just $40 for the whole morning.

You're just out to lunch and those are not the correct profit margins or realistic. You might be thinking about grocery stores whose net margins might be in that realm of 2-4%. I don't know where you got your understanding of how the pricing works but please don't run a restaurant.

Your mistake is that you have separated overhead and labour, when they're out of the same 1/3. 1/3 overhead including rent, 1/3 ingredients, 1/3 in the pocket.
Think you won the contest here.
The speed of KaTeX is great, but the lack of support for diagrams (a la tikz-cd) is what makes KaTeX unsuitable for general adoption by mathematicians (e.g., mathoverflow.net and all online mathematical wikis I know use MathJax). KaTeX has some rudimentary support for diagrams though the {CD} environment, but something more fully fledged akin to tizk-cd or xymatrix is needed. There's been some discussion on their github (https://github.com/KaTeX/KaTeX/issues/219), but I wouldn't hold my breath.

The party that now wants nuclear power back is the one who decided to phase it out in 2011, with a completely self-imposed deadline of 2022. Back in the day the Bavarian Premier, then environment minister, said:

> This transition, which we will achieve by then, will not only change the country in the long term, but also set impulses for the whole world.

Now he's using the opportunity to shift the blame on parties that had nothing to do with his decision.

Airlines started charging for checked bags so everyone started bringing massive carry-on bags. If you board last, there is no room for your bag. So it's a "perk" to get on first as an economy passenger. Boarding order for economy is usually 1. Frequent fliers with status giving them priority boarding, who also get to choose their seat and pick as close to the front as they can, 2. Back to front in "zones".

I'd also add, I've seen some more sophisticated theoretical boarding strategies, but passengers have trouble even understanding zones, there's no chance of boarding alternate rows or whatever working in practice.

But even if a human looks at it:

- does the driver ever have a chance to interact with the person making this judgement? Do they have an opportunity to provide information which Uber was not in a position to automatically collect (e.g. a road was blocked due to construction or an accident)?

- what is the goal of the human reviewer and what incentives are put on them? Are they required to 'judge' a number of cases per hour, which places a limit on how much context they can actually consider? Are they responsible with arriving at a "fair" decision, or merely one which minimizes costs to the company?

- what outputs from the human reviewer inform future automated decisions? Are they merely adjudicating individual cases, or will their decisions help train the algorithms that automatically flag drivers going forward?

Merely having a human in the loop is insufficient. It's easy to create a system in which humans effectively rubber-stamp and amplify issues in the automated systems.

Honestly, I don't see any difference in difficulty between LaTeX's syntax and Asciimath's one. The former has more backslashes and curly braces where the latter uses spaces and parens.

I personally find LaTeX easier to read because I immediately recognize that a curly brace is not part of the formula but just of its representation, while with Asciimath I'm left to guess if a parenthesis was put just to group a subexpression or if it carries a mathematical meaning. For example:

\frac{abc}{def}

It's clearly "abc" over "def".

(abc)/(def)

Is the numerator "abc" or "(abc)"? Parentheses often do matter: does the following describe a derivative of order 2n or a power?

f^(2n)
