2016 decisively showed assange had a vendetta against the US and the Clintons in particular and didn’t actually care about democracy or human rights, or at best let his personal grievances completely override his supposed beliefs in those things.
This should not be a hard problem. All my socks are identical and they have their own drawer. When a sock gets a hole in it I throw it away. When the drawer starts looking sparse I pull out my phone and add another 12-pack to my next grocery order.

Those were not plans, just one space agencies ideas.

That was just political marketing, had nothing todo with reality and was never even remotely possible.

> To be fair, it is hard on the king to wear the crown for too long.

The were not really the king. For GEO missions yes, but for LEO Soyuz was always cheaper. And yes ArianeGroup was launching them, but its hardly their technical capabilities that made that possible.
It's hard to give numbers for 100% nuclear since no one does that, but yes, France has load factors between 60 and 80% depending on the reactor type.

https://www.iaea.org/fr/newscenter/news/contribution-du-nucl...

The report you quote already cites load factor around 90% for new builds, a 50% load factor wouldn't double the costs. That being said, 90% load factor for a grid with a high share of nuclear is probably extremely optimistic.

The reason such high capacity factors can be reached in countries that have a low nuclear share is that nuclear has an extremely low marginal cost, and is always picked over plants that require fuel.

On another note: I bought a 486 66DX/2 “DOS Compatibility Card” that had a dedicated 32 MB of RAM and a Soundblaster card for my PowerMac 6100/66 just to play Wolfenstein, Doom and the other games of that era.
It would appear most people don't care about those products, then.

htmx got a lot of good press (deservedly) but I think somehow it needs to get to the next step beyond the basic hypermedia evangelism. I don't know exactly what that step needs to be, because I don't know what a fully "htmx-ed" web would look like. It is promising, but that promise must be made more concrete.

A conceptual roadmap of where this journey could take us and, ideally, some production quality examples of solving important problems in a productive and fun way would increase the fan base and mindshare. Even better if it show how to solve problems we didn't know we had :-). I mean the last decade has been pretty boring in terms of opening new dimensions.

Just my two cents.
A cool idea, but what I don't understand is why are many alternative search engines so poorly designed? I may be too used to google but I think the text should be a bit more readable. But I really like this type of search engines - always wanted search capability among my bookmarks and related websites. Perhaps even a bit of ai fine tuning around them.
I don't understand what the use case for doing that would be. One of the advantages of traditionally compiled languages is that you don't need a runtime component for the resulting binary.
my thoughts as well. with digital compression, words cutting out, and trying to decipher what the other person's saying without looking at them, mobile phone calls just require a lot of cognitive load from me in general.

I do find it easier to understand when I'm looking directly at them in-person, partly because I can infer a lot of meaning from their facial expressions and match what I'm hearing to how their mouth is moving.

not to mention that almost all of my phone calls fall into two categories: calling my family to catch up, and calling services to wait on hold and deal with an underpaid support rep on the other end. category 2 is almost always stressful and irritating in and of itself, and would be similarly stressful (albeit less so) if I went to their location in-person to deal with the support issue.

> for average conditions one unit of fossil-fuel energy is required to create 8.3 energy units from the resulting ethanol

It seems they’re in a unique position because sugar cane grows there, is used in industry, and the leftovers that aren’t usable for anything else can be turned into fuel.

I had no idea Brazil has a unique bio ethanol industry, thanks for sharing.

Wasn't the thing that killed Google+ that it just didn't have enough engagement for it to be worth for Google to run it? I seem to remember that at the time, Google was saying that 99% of the user sessions were less than a minute, or something like that, and that's the reason they are shutting it down. If I remember that correctly, it seems it wouldn't have mattered if they had a Beta label on it or not.

If that was remotely true, if it was anything other than a lie, why does it only come up when there is an R congress and D president? There are plenty of times in the last 30 years where there's an R congress and an R president, but it never was an issue.

If it was actually a concern, it would come up then too.
It's kind of funny. At first I was going to say, what do you expect - a line on his CV 'worked as a medium for US propaganda'? But bizarrely enough, that's completely accurate. Michael Weiss is editor in chief at the 'Institute of Modern Russia.' It's part of Radio Free Europe [2], which is literally a propaganda outlet owned by the US government.

But the reason I decided to look this up is something much more simple than these facts. That Atlantic article reeks of state propaganda, and if it's not sending your propaganda detector to 11, you really need to get it tuned a bit - especially in this day and age. More often than not, you're not going to be able to find a link on somebody's CV or Wiki or whatever directly tying them to state interests, but I mean this just isn't how "normal" people think, behave, or write. It's like he's desperately trying to convince you of a position, by making you believe that thinking otherwise would be absurd. Note the stark similarities in style and rhetoric to something like this [3] piece from the NYtimes in the leadup to the Iraq War.

‘Take IBM, for example. Just this week its CEO Arvind Krishna said his company would pause hiring for back-office roles that AI might replace, suggesting AI could take over as many as 7,800 positions.’

I’m not kidding, and I don’t quite know what you mean. The progressions start with the same 3 chords, but that (and the fact that both progressions have significantly influenced pop music) is pretty much the extent of the similarities.

The biggest difference is that the Canon in D progression is an 8 bar loop, and the second 4 bars is a subdominant progression, which leads to a lot of different melodic options than a single 4 bar loop.

What you gain is not having to defend your terminology or confusions derived from disagreements on the meaning of key terms. Following Kieth Frankish on twitter, it seems like he spends far more time defending against misconceptions about illusionism than actually defending the content of the theory. And it's an entirely self-inflicted wound. (Though it works for him as it raises his h-index.)

When your terminology results in you saying things like "consciousness is an illusion (doesn't exist)" and "the existence of qualia (features of our subjective experience) is false", you're just undermining your own project. I mean, you're literally engaging in a verbal dispute with the other guys in this thread. I just don't see the point. There would be far more agreement if we could align the usage of key terms with how most people understand them.
It is like that yes but more abstract because it uses some special HTML tags to make the JS calls.

There is a big downside though: weak error handling. It just assumes that your call will get a response.
I agree but one important point to consider is the dev effort of making a proper SPA which is not a very common occurrence.

True, but in the case of tobacco establishing a causal relationship was studied, e.g. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/13116124/ (1953).

Trying the same with RF-EMF would be an obvious next step. Just a personal opinion, but I don't think the results will hold in direct study.
Just get a Toyota and keep up with annual servicing. Too many people get "exciting" or "fun" cars as their daily drivers that are not reliable. It's entirely on the owner. What's the point of owning a car if you are not going to drive it? A light electric golf cart isn't much cheaper either.
Sorry for the delay. I didn't want too many eyeballs on it yet.

This is a foolish argument, the government always try to contact the local representative of that organization so if this were to happen they would get in touch with Google and ask them to investigate why there is malware in Chrome, that would certainly be Google's responsibility and if not handled properly, deserves a ban.

The most important thing country needs to do is to protect it's citizens and that is what India is doing.
> Can those rights be violated? Yes, governments do bad things all the time. But that is not the same as a foreign national participating in Al-Qaeda training camps and meeting with Osama bin Laden. No nation on Earth has a strong history of giving full citizenship legal rights to foreign nationals and/or enemy combatants captured in a warzone.

You're aware that the US actually kidnapped random people because they had the misfortune of using the wrong watch type or having the same name as an alleged terrorist, right? They didn't "capture enemy combatants in a warzone".

> Note that this does not apply to US citizens. US citizens, even those accused of terrorism, still retain their legal rights under US law. That is what citizenship in any country, is.

And also murdered US citizens abroad that were alleged to have ties to terrorists, without due trial.

That's correct. The built-in functionality is relatively primitive, but it's been enough for me so far. I do know people who use the Apple Watch with more advanced third-party apps but haven't had the need yet.
You might not! Depends on what you're looking for. I've been finding this library most helpful in places where I have a lot of GPT calls in pipelines, so having typehinted schema return values / some built in error correction / variable injection / establishing standards for the IO of prompt schema is the most useful. So IMO I see its main use as a good standard set of operations that work pretty well out of the box and that allow you to hack around them with decent flexibility.
For saving discourse on the internet. You don’t have to agree with his positions but there is no denying he has brought back the ability to discuss sensitive topics without a throng of zealots having their reports result in quick censoring.

Pithy remarks aside, the actual value has to be enough to convince the plaintiff to drop the case and low enough to convince the defendant that's it's cheaper than a trial.

Like any true compromise, it's probably an amount that made both sides unhappy, so I'd estimate about half the requested 800m.
So far Bluesky has learned the mistakes of Mastodon's awful search and 'choose an instance' confusion and has a default server ready for users to use, instead of being forced to choose. But it risks repeating the same mistakes as Clubhouse if it doesn't open its invite system once another wave happens.

The next wave of users running away from Twitter will happen when the orange man takes back his Twitter account and sends his first tweet in years, with the media screaming about it. Probably later this year, but who knows.

We'll see how Bluesky really performs on adoption when that next wave happens.
Curiously the 404 error message has a link to the current broken page.
> There is a time and place for SPA (mail is a great example). But using them in places where the page reload would load in completely new content for most of the page anyways? That's paying a large cost for no practical benefit; and your users are paying some of that cost.

Yep. It's bonkers to me that a page consisting mostly of text (say, a Twitter feed or a news article) takes even so much as a second (let alone multiple!) to load on any PC/tablet/smartphone manufactured within the last decade. That latency is squarely the fault of heavyweight SPA-enabling frameworks and their encouragement of replacing the browser's features with custom JS-driven versions.

On the other hand, having to navigate a needlessly-elongated history due to every little action producing a page load (and a new entry in my browser's history, meaning one more thing to click "Back" to skip over) is no less frustrating. Neither is wanting to reload a page only for the browser to throw up scary warnings about resending information simply because that page happened to result from some POST'd form submission.

Everything I've seen of HTMX makes it seem to be a nice middle-ground between full-MPA v. full-SPA: each "screen" is its own page (like an MPA), but said page is rich enough to avoid full-blown reloads (with all the history-mangling that entails) for every little action within that page (like an SPA). That it's able to gracefully downgrade back to an ordinary MPA should the backend support it and the client require it is icing on the cake.

I'm pretty averse to frontend development, especially when it involves anything beyond HTML and CSS, but HTMX makes it very tempting to shift that stance from absolute to conditional.
It’s absurd that as a country you drink so little tea that you wouldn’t need electric kettles.

Yeah. Wolfenstein 3D was very playable, but the levels were essentially a 2D maze. Doom actually felt like a 3D world
HTML gives very limited tools for tracking what a (potentially JS-less) user is doing. There are various tricks, like "link shorteners" and "magic pixels" that allow some tracking.

But if you want advanced tracking, like tracking what a user is focusing on at a particular instant, you need to wrap the whole document in a lot of JS.

SPA frameworks came out of AdTech companies like Meta, and I assure you it wasn't because they had limited engineering resources.
Our hacking attempts dropped by approx 85%, and we use less bandwidth. There are other benefits to blocking traffic to places where you don't do business.

> They could send you letters informing that you did wrong and that you have to pay 1M USD and you would just put that to trash.

I think it's just better to not get those letters in the first place (any more than spam phone calls or texts) and have to waste time reading them, or having to possibly consult an attorney over them to see if they have merit. It's just not something I want to be bothered with, nor should I. It has nothing to do with the company, what we do or our customers.

> Do you (I assume you are not in either of the countries I give an examples, nor travel there) worry about laws in, say, China when you state "Taiwan is an independent country", or Russia when you say "Russia invaded Ukraine", or North Korea when you say "NK is a tyranny", or France when you say "Retirement should be at 60 and not 64".

We don't say anything like that on our company sites.

There's lots of documentaries on the problem, how they hire people to keep their paying users busy etc.
Chinas drug laws are way harsher than US ones. Do their citizens not partake in drug use? It is actually a pretty interesting question, did the war on drugs work in China? They have harsh drug laws but do not have mass incarceration of drug users.

"Nowadays, the penalties for being caught with cannabis are severe. Offenders run the risk of receiving the death penalty for being in possession of just five kilograms or more. Additionally, strict sentences are imposed; anything from five years imprisonment to a life sentence."
From the perspective of a consumer, the only real difference between a library and zlib is that "checkouts" aren't time-limited. So why aren't there any good, copyright-respecting digital libraries out there? The simple answer is that publishers either completely prohibit library usage of their ebooks, or have such onerous licensing terms that libraries can't afford to maintain large collections [1].

There’s a negative reaction to chatgpt generated comments. Personally I understand it somewhat as there seems to be a number of bots running around making useless comments on a site that’s always prided itself on being better than everyone else. I don’t really mind these sort of summary type comments, but I suppose enough people do.
> treat EU-residents in a special way, even if they're located in US right now.

This part of GDPR has always seemed completely unpracticable/unenforceable to me. How would a non-EU company even know that one of their customers is an EU resident and only temporarily visiting? Most services in the US aren't asking for my passport, at least.

Practically, I'd assume that this will be interpreted by courts to only apply to companies "intentionally doing business with/commercially targeting EU residents", which is already the case for similar scenarios (e.g. that's how, to my understanding, German law requiring all sites to provide an imprint has been interpreted by courts).

In any case, I suppose we'll have to wait for precedent; I'm not aware of any at the moment.
I have not yet tried Bluesky, but paradoxically, I think the "success" that currently everybody wants to try Bluesky might be an indicator that it will fail.

If there is so much demand, why does nobody offer a free and open client? This might be a sign that it is hard to write and/or run one.

I tried Nostr and it was extremely easy. Because it is so easy to write and run a client, there are plenty already.
This is true, read my top level post for more information.

The Ariane 6 is basically an evolved version of what was the Ariane 5 ME. Many of the things that are now Ariane 6 were developed for Ariane 5 upgrades.

The new upper and lower stage engines are both just upgraded Ariane 5 engines.

However they realized they could never compete with the Ariane 5 core against Falcon 9 (in 2014) they changed some political design processes and made the rockets more flexible.

The most relevant difference between Ariane 5 and Ariane 6 is that Ariane 5 always had to huge solid boosters, while the Ariane 6 has 2 or 4 depending on the mission.

That makes is possible for the Ariane 6 with 2 boosters to be in the competition for LEO missions. Something Ariane 5 wouldn't have been able to do.

But you are right, the 5 billion $ it cost to develop Ariane 6 will required it to fly for decades to make it worth doing compared to Ariane 5 ME.
