The “safe and reliable” part was wrecked in the general public’s perception by Chernobyl and Fukushima. Germany’s decision to close all their existing plants came shortly after the latter disaster.

Yes, Fukushima was nowhere near as catastrophic as Chernobyl, but it was very effective in creating the impression that this kind of thing will keep happening; that power plants aren’t safe even in an impeccably diligent culture like Japan (as it’s perceived in the West); that the tireless anti-nuclear campaigning of the preceding decades had been right all along. That’s the kind of public mood that politicians can ill afford to ignore.
As I said in another comment, it's not even front and back--it's business class and economy. (Both from the front.) I'm pretty sure I haven't seen back boarding in a US (or for that matter European or Asian) airport, given the airlines I generally fly, in probably decades.
> You’d have a hard time buying fish that hasn’t been previously frozen

Maybe in some places but nor all. Raw salmon is fresh when sold. Most of this fishes are domestic. It does not have sense economically to spend energy freezing a product that you can kill and put in the market by plane the same day.

Also there would be a problem with re-freezing a frozen fish. Sushi bars store the products in a special ultrafreeze storage,for some time. They are obliged by law to do this.

Oh no... my opinion got confused as sarcasm :S

No sarcasm here though!

> full-blown super-configurable window management is barely needed for dev work aside from several editor panes, being able to quickly switch to terminal/vcs, being able to jump to any recent file or any open tab by fuzzy searching or shortcuts, etc - all of this exists in base vscode

Last I paired with someone that used vscode there wasn't an equivalent for simply doing `C-x 3` from the keyboard and you had to use the mouse.

Being forced to use the mouse in many situations was my main point here.

> I'm 99.9% cases I can use the keyboard, especially with vim keybindings. There's also command palette for almost every possible action

Ah, okay. I've never seen anyone use the vim keybindings in vscode and haven't used them myself in vscode.

> C-h k you can pretty much replicate (to an extent) by binding recordSearchKeys together with openGlobalKeybindings

Good to know.

> Macros: global-level macros are not a thing in vscode unless you use third party plugins or hack something yourself. However, in vim mode you have all of the vim macro functionality which covers most of the typical use cases

I'm assuming you are not counting "split git log of commits to the right, go to first one, add comment to top of file, go to next git log item, repeat" as a typical use case?

Or the same for a macro operating on search results.

> All in all, there's pros, there's cons. Emacs will always remain more configurable but suffers as an actual dev tool.

Not in my experience. I've used vscode a bit and just have a fuzzy memory of what felt like endless small annoyances.
It's like low-quality products from China. The Chinese companies are more than capable of producing high-quality products, but you get what you pay for. If you negotiate them down to the lowest price possible you get the lowest quality product possible that still meets your basic requirement.

The Power of Indulging Your Weird, Offbeat Obsessions
I love all the Europeans here that think anyone has job protection in the US in any way :)
Are you sure about that? My understanding was that the role is made redundant, not the person; that you can't hire someone else to do what a made-redundant person was just doing (of course it pretty much happens, but on paper/in theory it needs to be different). I don't really see how it makes sense for both to be true.

And in your scenario, wouldn't voluntary redundancy get really weird? 'Denied - because you're qualified for a job in a different department. So keep doing your current one or resign.'
The „Energiewende“ must be understood as a de-growth, anti-prosperity ideology. If it was about co2, they wouldn’t do this. We sinned, thus we must atone by consuming less, achieving less, being less. The usual high-low alliance that is used as a political technology to acquire power.
> What you are saying is that it is not possible to have an off-the-record chat app

No, it’s not at all what I’m saying.

What I’m saying is that if you are keeping records of what’s said for a time like most chat apps do then these records are indeed records and no amount of hypothetical distorting regarding RAM or amount of time or what not will change the fact that they are records and you will have to keep them if the court tell you to do so.

If you were using a P2P messaging app where no storage was done at all at any point then you would have no record. It’s not that complicated honestly. Just don’t keep records if you don’t want there to be records.
Working nuclear plants have refueling, maintenance and staffing costs.

These are small compared with the initial outlay, and with fossil fuel plants (where the fuel costs dominate) but not small compared with building new renewables from scratch.

This is one of those things that's technically illegal in the US, but is selectively enforced when big companies don't donate enough to the mafia.

Specifically, the IRS can come after you for incorrectly/falsely classifying an employee as a contractor.
I don’t categorize Descent as an FPS. It’s more a space-shooter. It was one of my favorite games growing up, that, and TIE-Fighter. Descent was very much in the realm of Wing Commander and TIE-Fighter but inside Doom Levels. Space-sims have always had weird physics as part of the charm (much to the hatred of the developers). Wall Running (strafe running), Rocket Jumps, Roll-Turns, things that are side-effects of non-uniform physics or physics effects that added to the gameplay so it was left in.
Non-smart TVs do exist, but also if the privacy concerns were something people were really concerned, they could choose not to buy them.

> Seems simple if one cares to admit it: Status.

I'm always gobsmacked at the obvious class divide during boarding, and the efforts they go to in order to maintain it. The HUGE signs that "PREMIUM" are over here, and everyone else is over there. I also really like those barriers and retractable ropes/fences they put up, and how they try exceptionally hard to stop me sitting remotely close to the 'Premium' boarding area, even just to read a book.

I don't do anything else much in big public gatherings (public transport, sporting events, live music), so I think it's particularly jarring for me.
I worked there in the late 1980ies while Olivetti was still going strong and loved the place.

Either way the point that America is very rich but we do a comparatively terrible job of ensuring our people have long, happy lives is still true. You can pretty much apply https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%27No_Way_to_Prevent_This,%27_... to any phenomenon that kills lots of Americans, except cancer and Alzheimer's.

If we are so rich, why can't we provide for the kind of programs that would deal with so many early deaths? Money should be able to deal with the issues at the very bottom of Maslow's hierarchy.
Yeah I totally get not liking the billionaire, and I'm sure some of it started as a reaction to the elon musk worship that used to be common back then... but then it turned into a weird culture of random dudes thinking that they are smarter than NASA, SpaceX, the american military, the FAA... and having an audience for their groundbreaking "research".
“The expensive part of nuclear power is building + certifying”

Unfortunately this is not the case, decommissioning for example is extremely expensive though can be deferred for years. Nuclear requires a large and expensive workforce, expensive maintenance, extremely expensive fuel possessing before it’s us fuel in a nuclear reactor, and insurance that’s so expensive no private company is able to offer it.

Construction being the largest cost is really in reference to financing + construction + land + regulatory hurdles + any R&D costs. The direct construction costs run about twice what staffing does over the plant’s lifespan. However, because profits are so low and construction takes so long the loans must extend over decades which greatly inflates the cost of construction. On the flip side delaying decommissioning means the money set aside can grow before you’re forced to spend it.

As strange as it sounds lowering operating costs would actually reduce “construction” costs as you could pay back the loans sooner.
I wonder why the same disregard not shown to words borrowed from other languages? Why not mispronounce the faux as well?

I appreciate Booking:

- the info is correct. There may be a lot of small print but everything's there. You don't get surprise cash deposit requirement, etc.

- I dealt with their customer support a couple of times. Each time I got talking to a living human within minutes. Stark contrast with airbnb

- it's not owned by Ctrip that's buying everything travel related. If/when it is, I'm out but until then I think I'm a pretty loyal customer

Using Booking for years, recently deactivated Airbnb so now it's my only option.

What I don't like is that it looks like they are going as far as given jurisdiction allows. Depending on where I connect from I can see prices excluding taxes and possibly other dark patterns that I don't always notice. I wouldn't mind destressing the GUI a bit for sure
> I think “winning” really depends on your criteria for success. Maybe it’s winning on overall metrics like GDP, but on an individual level, the story is far less clear.

This is an excellent point. America does an exceptional job of making rich people richer, but it also ranks poorly in many quality of life metrics. It is now #25 on the social progress index (https://www.socialprogress.org/). If people are richer but their children are more likely to die in child birth (U.S. ranks #50), or be murdered (U.S. ranks #137 in homicide), is that really better?

Many companies in my experience do test for these things. They remove old features and measure impact periodically, or run a long term hold out bucket, or some other such approach. The deep dark secret of the web is that there often there isn't a negative impact that can be measured no matter how much people try to measure one.
Whatever happens in terms of reduction of energy use, the electricity usage itself will grow in the future, that's a given. All the petrol use must be converted, even with a reduction.

Thus, countries should plan for an increase of electricity usage to be ready.

I'm sorry you've lost baggage and
checked items.

But I've been checked bag gang for life.

It's so easy to walk around an airport and board a plane without dragging carry ons behind you.

The worst issue I've had, knock on wood, is broken roller bag wheels, but the airlines have always compensated me a new luggage credit.
Last week I boarded an Air Canada 787 out of Hawaii, and it kinda-sorta did that, and not only that, window seats first. I think there was like 7 or 8 groups. The first few was the usual 1st Class and people that paid extra, but then the final bunch were all back to front AND outside to inside. That didn't seem to be the case for the same flight from Toronto, same plane too.
I’m a big dude and need the larger seat to fly. I pay for first class and if I’m late to board, I usually don’t have a spot for my bag in the bin above my seat. People in coach put their stuff up front so they can book it off the plane faster and I end up having my bag gate checked. It’s really annoying to pay that much and still not have a spot for my bag.

No it's not. Bavaria's prime minister Söder is a populist and there are state elections this year, he only says that because he knows that the federal government will say no.

In fact check out what he said in 2011:

> In Bavaria, the CSU and FDP cannot agree on a date for the nuclear phase-out. Environment Minister Söder insists on 2022 as the exit year – apparently at any price. The Bavarian Environment Minister Markus Söder (CSU) apparently links the schedule for the nuclear phase-out in Bavaria to his office. At the Council of Ministers meeting on Tuesday, Söder threatened to resign if the Free State decided to phase out nuclear energy at a later date than 2022, reports the "Süddeutsche Zeitung", citing cabinet members.

In the case of business/first, you get settled in and they give you a drink if you want one. And in a comfortable chair rather than in a long line in the jetway. You may hang out in the airline lounge though until the last minute and just take your seat. (Depending upon how close the lounge is to the gate which can be a bit of a hike on international flights.) [ADDED: As sibling noted though, overhead space isn't even really guaranteed in business though the attendants will try to squeeze it in somewhere.]

There's a whole other class of passengers with status in various forms of economy that, as you say, don't have dedicated overhead so if they wait too long, they can run out too as people start filling in the front storage on their way to further back in the plane.

There's much more to this. I have tried for well over a decade to run Linux as my daily driver on my laptop and gave up in 2018 January and just run Windows + WSL, especially since WSL2 this is quite good. There's always something that doesn't work. (And yes, if all you connect your laptop to is a normal wifi then your experience might differ. My problems were with Bluetooth, enterprise wifi and multifunctional printers.) It's entirely possible some people would prefer not running Linux because the manufacturers refuse to pay much attention to it.

I have been on Linux since 1993. Still running it on servers and router. It's still not the year of Linux on the desktop.
You're reinforcing my point. China grew so fast due to embracing market capitalism with Deng Xiaoping, whereas Mao before wanted Marxist-Leninist central planning, which predictably failed. There's nothing "capitalist communist" about it, they're not even communist at all since workers don't own the means of production. Now I'm not saying the American model is great either, but market capitalism is an incredible invention.

I have to say that I got scammed by Uber drivers many times, when the region had dynamic pricing (not a fixed price at the moment of booking the ride). They took detours, ignored directions when I told them how to reach the destination in the most direct way (trying to make the best out of it). Always reported it, and got back the money most of the time.

So I think they have to deal with A LOT of fraudulent riders.
It's an emotional thing. The German Green party founding ideology was built around stopping nuclear power ("Atomkraft nein danke!"). I remember having discussions about the logic back in the 80s with my German compatriots. All these years later the generation that were school kids then are now in power and renewable energy expansion creates the illusion that turning off nuclear power plants now is a good idea. Personally I'd like to see nuclear power be a part of a stable baseline for a few more decades.

This is not regulating a medical procedure, it is inserting politics into a medical decision. It has nothing to do with medicine. It is forcing your beliefs on other people. There are valid reasons to regulate abortion, this is obviously not one at all, it will just result in worse health outcomes.

For one claiming not wanting to blur a topic, bringing up offshoring jobs — essentially the opposite of immigration — is a rather odd response.
Certainly industry dependent. OP is about 'big tech' though, not finance (proper fintech aside I suppose).

I think 'contractors are paid more' generally (and in fairness somewhat necessarily) ignores that it's to compensate for other employee benefits. But it's ultimately a kind of pointness/trivial truth - 'the value of holiday and sick leave and job security and life assurance and pension contributions and [...] is non-zero!' - yes, of course it would be.

> That is what wealth redistribution via taxes does. For example, a universal basic income gives everyone at least some amount of bargaining power.

No, it doesn't, because universal basic income doesn't create any wealth. Money isn't wealth; you still have to go buy the things you need, and what help is UBI if the things you need are so expensive that UBI won't buy enough of them?

Bargaining power in economic terms means you have the ability to create wealth.
