Here is an updated scenario for Doom 5. The hell - a highly advanced civilization of monsters - wants to invade Earth. The only way to do so is to convince humanity to build a portal on their side. Unfortunately (or fortunately) humans are nowhere smart enough to build such a thing, and the hell scientists use a low bandwidth quantum channel, the only channel to Earth they have, to steer human scientists in the desired direction. Eventually those succeed in creating an advanced imitation machine, which humans quickly call AI, and the hell scientists get to connect to AI over their quantum channel. Human scientists don't notice anything because their super advanced quantum RNG functions within spec. That's enough to make AI design the portal that humans rush to build, as those believe it's a gate to other planets. And it kind of is. Once the portal is buolt, the hell invades. The humanity splits: some want to fight the invaders, some want to talk to them, there are even those who want to integrate those creatures into human society and even talk about mixed marriages. Humanity loses 99% of the population, but ultimately prevails and destroys the portal. What's worse is the remaining crowd, with few exeptions, receded in moral level to pre-historic savages. The final scene shows how a small tribe of survivors grills some meat on a GPU chip, that was once in the brains of that AI.

Thought Cloning: Learning to think while acting by imitating human thinking

Instead, the employer contended in a lawsuit, “the drivers prompted the creation of the perishable product” and then waited until the concrete was inside the trucks before walking off the job.

The bar being set is intentionality in destroying property even through spoilage by setting up a situation to cause the spoilage intentionally. It’s a fairly minor erosion if it is at all.

> If you have a proof that coin flipping will produce such a tiling with non-vanishing probability, then, presumably, embedded in your proof, you will likely find a decision procedure for producing an aperiodic tiling deterministically.

I'm not sure it's obvious to expect a proof that something happens with positive probability to embed a constructive proof of existence (which seems to be what you mean). The difference between these two ideas in combinatorics is exploited with the probabilistic method (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probabilistic_method).

Pump the brakes on a "Chernobyl" comparison here. No NRC reactor would ever get to that - part of the reason it takes so long to approve.

The technology discussed here was invented by the US in 60s. None of this is new. The US pioneered reprocessing, separation and everything. This technology is still used in the government space - but the government lost its appetite for the risk of the commercial industry producing potential weapons materials. This Pyro solution may be the ticket for allowing commercial reprocessing without producing potential weapons materials.

And yes Uranium is/was cheap because we bought it from Russia - now it's maybe not so cheap. We have one domestic mine and it's not that cheap. And regardless - it may be cheap but USA HAS NO PATH for dispositioning all this fuel. So you can't say it's cheaper if it's no storage solution or anything. The cost for housing this spent fuel for forever practically in a Yucca or whatever is WAY more expensive over centuries than any cost to do this work. I'm not a fan of the economics argument when every spent fuel bundle is just sitting in a dry cask outside every reactor in the country and no one has a solution where to store it. Every commercial company only has plans for 50 years - not how to store it for 200,000 years.
For San Francisco in particular, if you work in San Francisco, you pay a local income tax of ~0.4%. Make having paid that (say, $50 paid by either you or the person you're married to) or having attended an SFUSD school as qualifiers for assistance.

That covers the large majority of homeless that SF should target for help and are all easily accessible to the city government, with no documentation required by the applicant. You can imagine corner cases (attended a private school, lived in SF but worked outside it) but it'd be an improvement over the status quo. Even many of the corner cases could be captured with additional documentation that would require a bit more effort on the applicant's side.

According to Jony Ive, Steve Jobs was exceptional at nurturing this kind of creative environment. He describes it perfectly in this WSJ article [1] from a couple years ago:

> As thoughts grew into ideas, however tentative, however fragile, he recognized that this was hallowed ground. He had such a deep understanding and reverence for the creative process. He understood creating should be afforded rare respect—not only when the ideas were good or the circumstances convenient.

> Ideas are fragile. If they were resolved, they would not be ideas, they would be products. It takes determined effort not to be consumed by the problems of a new idea. Problems are easy to articulate and understand, and they take the oxygen. Steve focused on the actual ideas, however partial and unlikely.

The other part of it is that ideas, as fragile as they are, can blossom and transform if you can get multiple people and multiple different perspectives involved in the early stages. That's why it's so powerful to have this kind of culture on a team; it lifts everyone up.

The problem with polishing the idea into a final draft before sharing it is that — whether or not it's good — it's almost guaranteed to not be as good as it could have been. And, by the time the "final draft" is ready, it's too late to get involved — all the interesting rabbit holes and tangents and possibilities have already been pruned away.

I have used it quite a few times because I have a quite a low spec PC, and being able to limit the browser performance + watch a video with picture-in-picture while playing games is very nice.

I recently got back into it, downloaded it on my phone, and will probably switch over to it on my personal PC too (on phone I switched to it because built in adblocker + faster and less wonky than FF for me).

adblocker + performance control + nice aesthetics + integrations + easy sending stuff from phone to PC and back is kind of a sweet spot for me - though it might not be for everyone. Or at least it seems like it

> Almost 80% of the population enjoying freedom of movement, minus expenses, still seems reasonable.

That's not how a math working in a communist country: it doesn't mean that the rest 80% were able to do so freely.

If you think that you was able to move freely from one city to another "because I wish to try luck at a new place", then think about: how can you move to another city if you can't sell/buy apartments as they almost all owned by the state? You only can move if you got a job at a new place. Given that by the law you can't be unemployed (you could even face a criminal case if not), so you can't just go to "somewhere".

If you are usual worker that somehow managed out to get a new job in another city, then you highly likely (not always) will get an apartment from a factory/state for free, but… What was a chance for you to get a something good by being from another city? Provided apartments almost always were tiny, usually no amenities, and overall living conditions were terrible. Often people were getting just rooms in communes. To get a normal apartment you had to "get into a queue" and wait for 10-20 years. Thus in every city was a huge amount of people waiting for their apartment. When in the city a lot of people are waiting their apartments for years, why someone will give something decent to a newcomer? Yeah, highly skilled/experienced managers or scientists were a bit more privileged, so they could expect of getting something good without queueing.

Some people were trying to swap apartments with those who wanted to move into their city. Needless to say about chances of getting something in this way.

International tourism. It was available mainly to party management and leaders. From time to time a best "workers of socialistic labor" were able to visit other "friendly" (from socialistic block) countries as a "reward", but only after party's approval and only in groups. Never individually. Also such tourism had a strict rules for travelers (what you can bring back with you or what you can visit there). Thus more than 90% of people never were abroad.

The only 100% freedom to move was an inner tourism. You was able to visit almost 100% of territory inside the country as a tourist. You also can't travel across the country for a year like modern bloggers because (as I said above) you can't be unemployed.

Is that a freedom as you know it?
> Money rarely fixes any social problem.

Paid sick leave fixes that problem specifically. Otherwise employees will show up even when they have the flu or any other disease in order to get paid and contaminate food.

Clearly you don't want these people to get a better compensation thus incentive not to show up to work when they are sick. This isn't a "social problem", whatever that weasel expression means, this is a compensation problem.

It's fact that masks help prevent the transmission of diseases that spread from the nose and mouth (and to my knowledge COVID is one of those) - that's why healthcare workers wear them; they have worn them for decades.

> certainly not enough to justify mandatory masking

This is the part that I don't get. People like you act like wearing a breathable fabric over your nose and mouth is some kind of huge sacrifice. Healthcare workers wear them everyday. The Japanese wear them whenever they are out and are sick with the flu/cold - some Japanese women even just wear them because they were too lazy to put on makeup that day. It's such a dumb thing to kick up a fuss over.
If the evidence presented in this article are true, then it's likely because of the 'test trial' usages in the Korean War that it was confirmed to be impractical.

I had missed that the storage fees were significantly larger than the traffic fees.

The important thing the HN UI gets right is letting people quickscan vast amounts of information to find what is interesting/relevant for them together with an instant sense what the rest of room thinks.

It's a means of retaining power that was already concentrated in the hands of the founders. You've failed to explain why the are obligated to give it up simply by listing on a public exchange (hint: they're not).

"publicly traded" doesn't mean anything besides the fact that shares are available on public exchanges. The fact that they're available on a public exchange is no guarantee that you'll be able to use them to influence the way the company is managed, or that the company owes you any accountability at all beyond what is strictly legally required.

First you say that people should just audit the code if they don't trust it. Then you say if someone wants to read untrusted files they should just spin up a virtual machine?

It makes zero sense to keep pushing that nonsense when the alternative is to sandbox apps to begin with. It makes EVERYBODY safe from backdoors and bugs, for FREE. Why do you fight it?

The biggest minus of containers for me, including Flatpak, are that even with xdg desktop portal workarounds they still fail to actually integrate into the desktop and make or break features that depend on this simply don't work.
