Bullshit argument. How would such a cleanup even work? The claim that the Fukushima clean up is excessive is completely pulled out of someones ass. What would be the rationale? You DO understand that exposure to radiation is cumulative, and having radioactive dirt lying around or distributing through wind and whatever else is a problem, right? And we don't even perfectly know what damage that would do long term, if you just leave it alone. There is an exclusion zone around Tschernobyl for a reason. Japan can't afford such an exclusion zone.

Cleaning up "harmful emissions from burning lignite" is complete bullshit. How would that even work? For one thing those emissions or whatever is not radioactive, which is a big plus. For another, those emissions are continously reduced and once they are sufficiently reduced, the planet as a whole will actually clean it up by itself. This will take a long time, of course. Not as long as leaving nuclear waste and radioactive dirt alone and hoping it won't get blown around and harm anyone.
Dear neighbor, with all due respect to Belgium, you are underselling your country.
Facebook seems(ed ~10 yrs ago) like such a great engineering company. Too bad they make Facebook.
You get it cheaper? How? We even have inflation caused by greed and greed only.
Note that "beamer" is usually used for a video projector. A polylux (which, for me, is "obviously" the better term, even though I was born after the unification :D) is only for overhead projectors that display slides. So beamer and polylux are two different things
It will, when it comes with a liability just like any other Engineering position.
I hate that Rogers is doing this. The Canadian government recently tried to fund community isp and connectivity for remote communities. SpaceX seems to be helping the giant shitty conglomerate beat back the interesting projects

I wish SpaceX would work with an independent group or consortium, rather than throw their power behind Rogers Communication. Fuck Rogers, they are part of the problem, and terrible for robust communications infrastructure
EDIT: it seems also in the original article and also in your comment it's NOT geothermal, it's a ground heat pump.

I'm looking for an induction top or an oven combo with knobs and it's difficult.
No more dissent. Got it. I would encourage a ban. I will just make another account. I get that I should reduce some of the "flame war" stuff but I think this is one-sided.
I understand your perspective, but it is still mostly free for the people who need it (there are always fees and things so it is never completely free, but it is still very cheap compared to the actual cost).

In case of education, young student typically don’t earn enough to pay income tax, if they have any salary or wages at all. To them, it’s free. I now pay for them through my taxes and I am happy to because I was in their position and if uni wouldn’t have been so cheap, I could not have attended. It’s not free for the overall society, but it is free for those who use it.

Same for healthcare. We all pay but when you need heavy surgery or long-term care that would cost tens hundreds of thousands of euros, it’s close enough to free as to not make you bankrupt. Again, free-ish for those who need it.
yeah, and now people here are making the new excuses we already predicted lol
Media don't "fall for it", they have to fill columns / bait clicks. Do you ever get a day where news go "nothing really happened today, do something else"? No. If nothing happens, they'll make it happen. If there aren't decent candidates for "30 under 30" every year, they'll just wave in the first few hustlers pushing at the entrance.
I am disappointed that they've decided not to follow the ideas pursued e.g. under MITRE ATT&CK®. Though, things went awry quite early on with respect to labeling malware.
Super cool and demo compat is a big achievement here!

I do feel a little, idk iffy about the MIT license. It's pretty clearly not a clean room reimplementation, and routing around the GPL like this feels not totally cool. I definitely think it's legal, but idk, when id was cool enough to open source their code under the GPL and you route around it like this, feels against the spirit and maybe disinclines other companies to do similar things... though probably no one cares tbh.
I mean I'm not parroting anything, but OK I will also agree that this isn't an especially mind blowing point that I was making. Probably a lot of other people would make that same point too!
No, his previous video cited that premise.

This video was clearly about debunking your excuses, which he did succinctly.
95% “plunge” is a funny number for profit: sounds catastrophic but there could be many stories behind it. Including higher R&D.

Revenue 95% plunge would be somewhat different!

Margin 95% plunge would too.
More than enough, but they are all new houses and have great insulation (Triple glass everywhere etc.)
Disingenuous to say that mastodon.lol shut down “because of Harry Potter” when in actual fact it was a disgusting and prolonged character assassination attempt against the sole admin
I suspect Rogers is oodles easier to deal with for SpaceX today than whatever "independent group or consortium" could form in ten years.
But sustainable? It is a boost. In the end physical and mental things will break and you will need things that will make you unhappy. Morphine drip seems an option and likely many people will experience that when eol now.
> Fighting for civil rights often makes you look like a prick, because you keep laser-focused on your goal and need to counter all the reasonable-sounding objections of people who were following their daily routines before this ball-breaker came along; but it is nevertheless necessary.

you are correct. All true.

But there are no easy to implement groupware, open office, email, chat suite. Yes, in hn you can say zoho or sogo or libreoffice. While I totally use OSS, it is a pain for Universities to find talent to implement this at scale.

Also a majority just use MS products and want compatibility. This is similar to tons of devs doing OSS dev but using MacOS (and using VM or remote ssh) as they want their devices to run for 12 hours on battery.

Some European universities tried going open solutions - this patchwork either failed or some even got hacked.

At the end, there are no easy solutions. I sincerely wished some one like Linux foundation implements a total OSS solution based on nextcloud to build all integrated suite to compete with G-suite or MS.
>Immigrants pay taxes here, produce goods here, consume here, but they get little out of it as they are neither schooled nor retire here.

Those aren't immigrants. Those are "guest workers", or expats. Immigrants are people who move to a new country permanently.
On Twitter, phrases for hashtags should use capitalization of all words for reasons of accessibility.

Screen readers can parse it that way and can't if you don't and it's easier for human eyes too, so it helps visually-impaired people who aren't yet actually blind.

> "no, it is not technically possible to give you user's data".

That's essentially contempt of court here in Brazil. They've blocked WhatsApp nationwide here before multiple times for that. WhatsApp, a messaging service pretty much every person here depends on.

Judges are basically gods here by the way. It's a common saying. "Doctors think they're gods, judges know it". Lawyers tell me that there's no need to comply with court orders when it is literally impossible to comply. The judges order your imprisonment anyway.

I remember watching this shit in the news. They interviewed a judge, she was basically foaming at the mouth with rage. "Who do they think they are? Refusing to give us the data? Answering to us in english?" I loved it, I thought things were on the right track. I was wrong.
The problem is that in most places people want to display their ability to speak English to show their sophistication. Let’s hope that some day speaking another language besides English is a sign of status.
That seems like exactly the meaning that "spontan" has in Germany. It's like you plan to be in Vegas but there you spontaneously decide to get married. In German, you would say "Wir sind nach Vegas in den Urlaub geflogen und haben dort spontan geheiratet", so pretty much identical.
I don't care about the length of a film as long as it successfully manages not to make me look at the clock to see how long it's going to be.

As someone who still can't speak "good enough" after 6 years in Germany, thank you! Everyone switches to English all the time :)
Evidence, perhaps, that single-payer healthcare + guaranteed minimum income (in the instant case, Medicare + Social Security) contribute to human flourishing.
Actually, as a native Berliner I'd never use spontan when making plans. I guess this usage might be the result of talking about the future the way you'd like to reminisce about it once it's become the past. "We spontaneously decided to sit down at a café to have some jelly doughnuts." sounds more interesting than "We couldn't be arsed to decide beforehand where to eat", IDK?

But it's still understandable, same as when people call jelly doughnuts something other than Pfannkuchen, so no big deal.
It can be argued that the human case correlates better with the "data double descent" model, assuming the brain network size does not change. The thing is... it does! It goes up and down as connections grow and get pruned. Biology is messy. Biological analogies can never be perfectly clean, especially for a system as giant as a human.
That must have come with iOS 16, when they also decided to swap the "Look up" option with "Translate" for some unknown reason.

So dozen of times per day I am translating snippets of text per day every bloody time I want to search a term on Wikipedia or Google, and my muscle memory taps on the wrong button. Thanks, Apple.
Would there ever be a "definitive" solution to GUIs? Like some canonical "this is how you GUI in Rust"? I mean there are about zero other languages where that has happened, how would Rust be any different? Just for N simple binary choices like immediate/retained, single/cross platform, markup/non-markup, native/non-native controls and so on, you'd quickly end up with 2^N solutions that almost have to coexist because some of those choices are deal breakers for some.
> If a touch screen interface were properly designed...

Huh? They cannot be. You cannot get the same level of tactile feedback from a touchscreen as from a properly designed knob.

> For me, when things get dangerous, its when pressing the button (physical or touch) doesn't do what its suppose to do.

I have experienced that regularly in cars. When you have clear, unambiguous feedback that you gave the input exactly how you're supposed to, it's a minor annoyance; you instantly know that the UI failed to pick up on your input. Redo and if failure is consistent, have it repaired.

When you have to start debugging whether it's your input method or the UI having an off day, while driving, that's when things get dangerous to me.
"europe-west-9 (Paris) has been physically flooded [...], but has zero impact elsewhere."

I am afraid this is not true. We have nothing in europe-west-9, but problem in this region caused global problem with Cloud Console, which hit us, because we were not able to use it for several hours.

Snippert from https://status.cloud.google.com/incidents/dS9ps52MUnxQfyDGPf...:

"Cloud Console: Experienced a global outage, which has been mitigated. Management tasks should be operational again for operations outside the affected region (europe-west9). Primary impact was observed from 2023-04-25 23:15:30 PDT to 2023-04-26 03:38:40 PDT."

Eh, the Emirates are more of a wild west than an ally of anybody; kind of like Switzerland back in the cold war. Honestly if there's a single foreign interest in charge it's the Lahore/Mumbai underworld.

One thing Tesla did well was inhousing a lot of this.
On my particular electric stovetop if I spill a tiny bit of liquid from cooking onto the buttons, the whole stove goes into protection shutdown mode, and I have to thoroughly dry the buttons to get it to work again. I hate that something that is so simple has such a terrible design flaw.

I would argue it's a little bit of both. You have to admit, they deliberately are taking advantage of the fact that this sounds like a very interesting statistic "wow!! Profit fell by this huge amount!!" when a lot of it could be a very deliberate decision by the company to spend more money. If revenue fell by more than profit, they would pick that instead.

The standard for headlines is to get the reader to click, not to inform the reader (even when the article itself is quite informative). I've been reading books with marketing advice, and one of them literally suggests the practice of "false facts," where you deliberately compare things that shouldn't be compared in order to make your product seem more appealing, for example an audiobook that costs $25 to an in-person class that costs $10,000. This headline is kinda-sorta doing that, albeit on a scale of 2/10.
"We are releasing something that's too underdeveloped, because Wall Street demands we release something. We're using a smaller training set because we have to rush to market with our smaller, stupider model ASAP."
It's because they're easy to clean. No crevices or edges where oil and grime can accumulate. Sure, you can still clean buttons, but to have them look "as new" takes more work than touch controls, especially in an environment like a stove, where "accidents" can happen regularly.

I still prefer physical buttons though.

I was at the local immigration office only a few weeks ago and German language skills are still very much required for PR. One doesn't need it for the family reunion visa and work permit, but does for PR.

There is talk of dropping this requirement, but I'll believe it when I see it.
I knew someone who had to switch to voice dictation due to RSI problems during an especially intensive work period, who ended up temporarily losing their voice through overuse. Of course that could happen with anything, overuse of a tool like this could lead to facial tics or neuralgia-like symptoms. But it's definitely got potential as an accessibility tool.

Only a matter of time before someone uses this to auto-post memes/gifs of common emotional responses.

I mean, the money has to come from somewhere. Yes, in terms of government-provided services "free" tends to mean "socialized", but if I compare it to a market-driven healthcare system in the US where the majority of effort goes into creative billing to milk people's insurances, the overall lifetime cost of healthcare appears to be much lower. Especially that with German insurance, there's no copay for treatments, only for prescription drugs (and even then, it's between 5-10€ per item, which can be further refunded if you are eligible).

With universities, my argument for public funding is that it theoretically makes higher education accessible to people actually interested in the subjects, instead of people who can afford it and go for the prestige of it. I feel that elsewhere, big name universities serve more as a platform for networking rather than actual educational institutions; here, I do not even know which universities are more or less prestigious. A degree is a degree.

Car UIs are just overly complex, poorly oriented, and full of cruft these days. Look up the UI of ‘96 Toyota Camry and you’ll see the pinnacle of efficiency. I could manipulate everything I needed to without taking my eyes off the road after a few months of owning the car. It was dead simply and each system was unique enough to distinguish by touch and interpret what the setting was by the knob orientation.
Gaggenau has this, we have the Vario 400 series. Physical buttons, crazy fast, reliable and beautiful. The downside: it cost us the same as a small second hand car...
They should do some more research into how to accurately dump using other drives, those old Plextor drives (that are the only ones supported by redump) are going for 200-1000€ on eBay, and the supply is slowly drying out since they're out of production for ages now
I'm not sure how they got the idea that it's ever acceptable to need to press a button to open a menu in order to turn wipers on. Particularly when the rain sensor is so bad that auto is basically useless.

This is an accounting trick. Taxes do not cover the same services everywhere. Of course, taxes are higher in Sweden than in the US, but then you don’t pay as much for your children’s education or your parents’ health care. So sure, the young and healthy people without children are better off in the US. Or the very wealthy who would nominally pay more taxes, though they have other tricks to use.

On average it’s much more nuanced, though. Comparing at one given level of service, public services are actually good value for money.
Maybe I was not clear enough, I'll try to rephrase. I'm not fearmongering against NNs (at least in this particular thread), here I just assume they exist and there is not much we can do about them. But what I do discuss is - because of the complete absence of legal definition of the "training" process, a lot of different situation can arise, sometimes even dangerous (legally) to the NN corpos themselves.
I moved eleven years ago because I loved the party scene. Took me less than a month to find a huge apartment for under seven hundred a month from a nice neighborhood.

Now I cannot move out anymore without doubling or tripling my rent. Also chose to study Rust instead of German, and been having so much work afterwards that I still haven't started my German studies. My husband speaks good German so that helps.

The weather is awful, our landlord only listens to us if we sue him, the internet seems to always be bad and expensive without hope for any better, the parties are way too crowded and dealing with local bureaucracy is not a great experience.

At least the rent is still cheap, if we don't move out. Lots of great art is happening every weekend. Nowadays you have some of the best restaurant scene going on in Berlin. The city is super relaxed about beer and weed, and the parks are great. It is easy to travel around the city with public transport, bike or quick rental cars. But now it is impossible to find apartments, all prices are going up and people are getting angrier every year.

My feelings about Berlin are super mixed. But, at least one thing makes me a Berliner: I love to complain about the city.
> “Aubrey, no!” screamed one TikToker, narrating the Wood Milk campaign video. “Why on earth are you getting in bed with ‘Got Milk?’ Nobody likes milk—like, literally nobody.”

This is literally incorrect. I like milk.
This gets harder when you struggle to meet other people who actually speak German.
You don't find the idea both kinda hilarious and somehow vaguely appealing even though it's a bit nonserious at the same time? I love it as a thought experiment.
I watch a movie to have a good time! Be that in the form of entertainment, or knowledge-gaining ... simply a good time.

From that point of view it doesn't really matter how long a movie is.

The length of a movie becomes important if it's boring as hell, but then again: I can just stop watching (forced school movies are a time of the, long gone, past for me after all ;D)
> I never understand the "you don't have to look at buttons" argument—my car has lots of physical buttons and to push them, I briefly have to look at the console, find the button, and press it

You don't realize just how MUCH worse doing it on a touchscreen is.

A touchscreen button is in a specific region of space, yet that region jumps and jostles around because the car and the touchscreen are moving and your arm is moving (usually in a different direction).

If you bump or drag your knuckles on the touchscreen, you accidentally engage some other control.

It's not as bad if the control is at the edge, is a large enough target and the touchscreen has a raised bezel around it to rest your knuckles on, but you still have to use your eyes to locate the button.

It's really annoying with tesla - the targets have gotten smaller over time, they've adopted apple's ios 7 mess of buttons that don't look like buttons, and now the buttons move around due to context, or passenger in seat, or other nonsense. Some buttons have state, but it times out. Some buttons can be moved. Some buttons change depending on what you used last. lots of map stuff auto-hides. Buttons along the edge are good, but they made them smaller and left lots of unused space. many buttons are in the middle with no good reason. ugh.

My suspicion? I suspect the model S/X touchscreen was designed by people who don't drive a model S/X and test it at their desk with a crappy dell monitor and a mouse.
