I still believe it is safer than water cooled plants, but Mr. Gates doesn't seem to have touched the downsides of using sodium [1]:

> A disadvantage of sodium is its chemical reactivity, which requires special precautions to prevent and suppress fires. If sodium comes into contact with water it reacts to produce sodium hydroxide and hydrogen, and the hydrogen burns in contact with air. This was the case at the Monju Nuclear Power Plant in a 1995 accident. In addition, neutron capture causes it to become radioactive; albeit with a half-life of only 15 hours.

> Another problem is leaks. Sodium at high temperatures ignites in contact with oxygen. Such sodium fires can be extinguished by powder, or by replacing the air with nitrogen. A Russian breeder reactor, the BN-600, reported 27 sodium leaks in a 17-year period, 14 of which led to sodium fires.

I don't know where you get your information but from my perspective the peanut gallery noticed the failure of the flight termination system earlier than the non peanut gallery.
Interesting service, but an earnest question about your Terms and Conditions[0].

How closely did you read this? Since I see you used an TOC generator (which was nice for me learn about), I'm just curious how closely you read some of the conditions.

I just may be reading the Prohibited[1] section too closely as well as the User Generated Content [2] section, but it seems like your stated goal about protecting the NSFW content from Imgur, as I guess such content is potentially obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, violent, harassing, libellous, slanderous, or otherwise objectionable (as determined by [you and your team]).

I'm not here to trash your service or trying to "gotcha", just since you're responding in the thread, I'm only curious how closely you've read the TOC and if you stand by all the elements of it.

China’s New Strategy for Waging the Microchip Tech War
Not sure if you're still looking, or what your budget is, but back in 2018(ish?) I worked at a semiconductor company that was looking to write their own system for analyzing production test data. We tested a bunch of databases and decided to use Clickhouse. We paid for a support contract from a company called "Altinity". They consulted on the the schema, how we were loading the data, the queries and even fixed some bugs in Clickhouse that we hit.

Looking at their site now, it looks like they've grown a lot and aren't a just boutique Clickhouse consultancy, but offer managed clickhouse cloud instances. There's still a reference to their support contract on the site though, so might still be worth a chat with them.

I have no affiliation with them, just an extremely pleased ex-customer. That was a long time ago though, so I take no responsibility if they've gone to shit now :D.
vivaldi got their own mastodon instance so i guess its only fair mozilla jump on it as well.....
As others point out, the English localization is quirky. My favourite: "Design\nmale word" and "Intelligence\nfemale word" which I suspect in the French localization looks like the dictionary entry marketing trope, i.e. "Design\nnom masculin" & "Intelligence\nNom féminin" Since nouns in English have no grammatical gender, it would be best to just leave that out of the EN localization.

I know nothing about amateur astronomy gear; but the site looks fine apart from a little quirk here or there.
"cools down" is grammatically more correct.
Show HN: Autosolving Duotrigordle
Here's a little thing I did for fun.

If you have ever played Duotrigordle (https://duotrigordle.com) you might have wondered what it would be like if you got all green words for free.

This version of Duotrigordle implements this, and also goes one further: if a yellow letter can be solved purely by a process of elimination, it will be.

What I didn't expect was that, once you discover that you can game the autosolving mechanic, this is quite a different game to the original. A score in the 20s indicates you're good at Duotrigordle. A score in the teens indicates you're good at Autosolving Duotrigordle, which is a different game.

I recall playing freelancer in 2016, which back then was 16 years after the release of the game — the graphics and controls already felt pretty dated back then, yet I was still blown away by the game and the atmosphere it managed to create. The distinct factions, the music, amazing game.

Space sims are of course about space flight, but they are also about showing utopian and dystopian societies and how people made a home in space. How specific architecture looks like, what culture developed (e.g. bars and trucker like culture) and so on. This is the part that interests me more than most other things.

I wonder how I would think about it now, in 2023.

I took piano classes for several years as a child and they made me learn all the scales somewhere around the age of 12 or something. It was standard practice and I can't imagine anyone who took classes in the same music education system as I did and couldn't play all the scales.
I agree with not tipping. A living wage should be paid by the employer. Not by the customer.
Did they know what it meant within seconds of you you explaining it to them, though? That's the only important thing.
I have to agree here. Also it’s not like the users complaining were actually paying for the service.

I wonder if some of the outrage is conflating;

If I paid money for lifetime access and then some time later that was removed I would be angry

I think, they need another nore skilled Product Manager. Offer "Free Forever" is a big mistake. Silently closing it - another big mistake.
Instead of the first they could offer user count limited version. I.e. 10 users max, $10/month. The same as Atlassian did with Jira.
Instead of the second, they could offer 50 or even 70% special discount from paid plan($10/user/month) to move free users to paid plan. Company gets money and users loyalty and no negative.

As a non-native English speaker, I appreciate pedantic editors like this one a lot. When I read Wikipedia, I want the text to be easy to understand and consistent with the rest of Wikipedia and when I edit, I want people to improve what I wrote. I wish everything I wrote had a copy-editor as pedantic as Wikipedia power users.

Some people are complaining about overly zealous editors who delete a lot of and as an Inclusionist [1] I understand the sentiment. I think deleting information from Wikipedia is pretty bad. But being pedantic about English is not deleting information, it's improving the transmission of information.

I love these. Maybe someone can help me locate a hacker koan I once read, but can't seem to find anywhere... it was a particularly humorous dig at java-style object oriented programming in a corporate environment; the novice spends their day lugging an object all through the corporation, peeling off layer after layer, only to find an empty method returning nothing.

Somehow I can't find it, or the collection it was in, anywhere... maybe this rings a bell with anyone.
Why shouldn't image and video hosting be a paid service?

I don't think there ever was any free method of mass distributing information. Or storing it if someone didn't find it interesting. If you need to share something, you should burden the cost. Just because some idiots thought they had a model that didn't work doesn't mean there isn't real costs involved. And those should be paid. In free market they should approach margin.
> it's always there, even when your graphics drivers fail.

This sentence is jaw dropping to me. Maybe I'm not the target audience for this sort of ultra minimalist, ultra customised environment, but the concept of requiring a workaround because my graphics drivers aren't functional is something I cannot understand. Why would you willingly work in that environment? In the last decade of being a professional programmer, my graphics drivers have _never_ failed me to that level. They're not perfect, but they _never_ fail to initialise.

Remember that some people lost their jobs, freedoms and relationships for rejecting this vaccine.

I do wonder how many unknown side effects less researched vaccines have! And at this point, there is probably a huge research gap between the covid vaccines and all other vaccines.

PS: I am not an anti vaxxer. I paid 500€ to get the damn HPV vaccines and next week I am gonna get my second meningococcal vaccination (one of the most painful vaccinations), because it also provides limited protection against gonorrhea and I want to minimize the chance of me having to take fluoroquinolone antibiotics again despite being sex addicted. Everyone should do their own risk assessment.
Does anyone think there could be potential for some sort of escrowed trust fund structure around guaranteed long-term service hosting? As a third party service, like Stripe.

Customers could have an option to pay a bit more for a "lifetime" long-term subscription plan. Part of the fee goes into the trust fund, which has guidelines on low-fee investments and designed to produce an income for more than 30 years, with something like a 3% withdrawal rate annually.

Actual hosting costs are pretty marginal with the right setup and decreasing over the long-run, it's really the security & compatibility updates, and any app-killing bugs that could be tricky to handle cost-wise.

> we have 10-100 engineers, I want them building product not figuring out how to deploy a whole ecosystem of observability tools. IF we get big let’s reevaluate…

Moving away from those SaaS tools can be extremely painful and a lot more costly due to vendor lock in. In practice, typically, this "let's reevaluate" time never happens.

On the other hand, I don't really care. I normally suggest open source tools, but if people want to throw money at some vendor, fine by me.
When I was an associate/junior I longed for remote work but seniors tried to keep me in the office as much as they could. Now that I am a senior I advocate for remote work to enable associates/juniors that want to work from home to do so. We have offices and whoever wants to do so can work from the office. Many associates/juniors use that opportunity but still the general consensus is that flexibility is the key here - they maybe come to the office once or twice a week.

>if "time" is infinite

And if a frog had wings, he wouldn't bump his ass every time he hopped.

But back to reality, there is not infinite time and matter. All that heat death of the universe and everything. The arrow of time.

Just becaues the concept of infinity exists, doesn't mean something can happen. For example, I have started reading James Joyce's Ulysses probably a dozen times how and have never been able to get more than a few pages into it. I know if there was infinity time, I'd never be able to get more than a few pages into that book. It's mathematically proven.

I can split up with someone who refuses to take a vaccination, or any precaution ,for an illness I believe I have a high chance of catching, and dying from, based on the best scientific knowledge at the time.

In general, I think scientists did the best with the knowledge they had, trying to save as many people as possible. Of course they could have done better with 10 to 20 years of testing, but that wasn’t an option.

This paper still says you are better taking the vaccine than not taking it.

Because if you host your own email server, the email address has a domain or possibly IP address to point at your server. But getting domains, or getting IP addresses are both centralized.

If you gave your email address to someone, you cannot change it on their devices. Your domain registrar with DNS for the domain case, or your ISP for the IP case, can stop email deliveries to you or redirect them somewhere else.

With a decentralized email, people email "you". Not "your username" on Google's service, or your username on a domain you rent from others, and not your username on an IP you rent from a centralized authority.
You can probably pervert those metrics to something that looks good in some slide decks. While actually destroying the image with most potential customers.

Either offers and contracts are valid or they are gibberish. Anyone who is continuing to honor them as valid loses out in a system where others can promise the impossible and not suffer consequences.

> I semi-regularly talk to people that plan the European power grid, yes.

Hard to know which group of people you talk to. This kind of work happens at many different levels, for many different reasons. TSO investment decisions are not made by the same people than power production investment decisions. There is some coordination, but no centralized decision-making.

To the best of my knowledge of at least one major European TSO, investment decisions are not taken at european level. And while there is strong european coordination in grid management, it is still cooperation and not an unified decision process. Any europe-level investment advice would have to be evaluated and selected by the TSO to become effective. Also the further you go from the field, the more likely studies are to consider spherical cows. Still useful, but not the full picture.

> Anyway, if you can use storage to lower you nuclear costs by 5% overall, would it not be used?

Of course it would, and we do use reversible dams to optimize costs. My point is that:

1) that's a whole-production optimization, and the trigger for that optimization is increasingly renewables rather than optimizing for nuclear production stability

2) the difference between paying 5% more and having to cut consumers from the grid is massive. for any TSO trying to save money is a goal, but curtailing consumption is an absolute failure criterion, second only to damaging the grid itself.

> Resilience research tends to favor decentralized solutions as well.

I might be biased by my personal experience, but when it comes to a power grid, planning ahead of time is much more valuable than decentralization. There is a difference between avoiding concentration of material, something which can be handled with central oversignt, and decentralization, which creates a coordination cost and sometimes loss of information (which is the case when small renewable production is connected to the distribution network rather than the transport network).

I wonder if this is mostly a US problem. I've been staying exclusively in Airbnbs around Africa/Asia for the last 2 years (usually a month at a time) and have never had any of these problems. The prices were always _significantly_ cheaper than trying to stay a hotel suite or any other option. The only thing cheaper were long term rentals, but they are harder to find/organize, especially as a foreigner.

I never had any cleaning requirements. I didn't trash any places, but I didn't leave them spotless. Sometimes, if I was in a rush I wouldn't have time to take the trash out before leaving. I never had any complaints from hosts, and most of my reviews claim that I am extremely tidy/clean guest.

My biggest issue with Airbnb is that the filtering/search doesn't work well. There isn't a penalty for "lying" (stretching the truth?) about certain things. Too many people put "Dedicated workspace" despite having no dedicated workspace. Some people are too honest and don't put "dedicated workspace" despite having what I would consider a great dedicated workspace.

It means I have to manually sit and look through the pictures to figure out if I'd have anywhere to work or not. I know a lot of people like to work from cafe's, but personally I hate doing that.
