Could the energy policy and the costs of electricity for the industry have contributed to this outcome in the eurozone?

Just as an example, Germany has the highest electricity prices in the world (20% higher than second place Italy), and starting April, switched to being a net electricity importer, after it shut down the last remaining nuclear power plants.
I live in Cambridge. All places I've lived in Cambridge were within a 5 minute walk of a publicly accessible pool. Before I had a car for outdoor climbing, I took the commuter rail to see local towns or got a ZipCar and split the cost with friends.

These days, most of my trips are on my bike. Anything I can round trip within 50 miles round trip is fair game. My roommate made it to Cape Cod a few weekends ago, but he's very athletic.
»Defenders will counter that this is a necessary tradeoff – you can’t have both stability and being fully up-to-date on security fixes. I’m not convinced that’s true as there are other Linux distributions that have shown you can have both. Rolling release distributions like OpenSUSE Tumbleweed follow upstream much more closely while still maintaining stability through thorough automated testing. Additionally, distributions like Fedora Linux, while not technically a rolling release, do tend to hew close to upstream versions at a more regular cadence.«

I'm sorry, but this paragraph proves that the author has not fully understood the purpose of enterprise distributions.

The primary selling point is not the stability of the software, but the stability of the API and ABI. There is closed source software such as SAP that is compiled against the ABI of RHEL and SLES. And lots of expensive enterprise hardware ships Linux kernel drivers in binary form only, so that a stable, i.e. never-changing kernel ABI is required. Examples for such hardware is the SGI UV series whose drivers come in binary form only and therefore the hardware is supported on enterprise distributions only.

Both RedHat and SUSE put a lot of effort into keeping their API and ABI stable, so that enterprise customers are guaranteed that no distribution update is going to break the software that they're running on the hardware they're using.

Also, when you deploy Linux on hundreds or thousands of clients, a rolling release distribution would be a pure nightmare. Given the large amount of clients and applications, there will always be a combination of applications and use-cases that will break after a distribution package was updated to a completely new upstream version.

Companies don't want software that changes all the time since they want to control the time for an update rollout themselves.
The problem is that any new technology has to compete with half a century of improvement made to the current one.

It's not enough to make a proof of concept of your MRAM, FRAM, or whatnot. If you want it to catch on you have to also come up with a way to quickly start making say, 16GB modules competitive with modern DDR5.

That's tough.

Amazing. Y'all are building a new era for notebooks - awesome launch.
as I said, it's not exactly "parenthesis" with the strictness that real programing needs.

in fact, my whole idea has got me on a deep dive into the nature of the decimal point (up to which extent is the decimal point representation of numbers and instance of a "fixed point"? I don't know! I cannot understand a fix point just yet; and for me to say I get decimal notation actually means I understand something about p-adic representation; which I'm still working on figuring out)

Millions of years of biology have brought us nearly to the point where we can take the evolution of our species into our own hands. We're new at this and like any other human endeavor in its earliest days are bound to make some horrible mistakes. So the arguments toward caution are well-justified.

We've yet to prove our civilization is responsible enough to handle such consequential abilities - e.g. nuclear arms, climate change, genetic engineering.

But I anticipate several generations from now, today's cultural taboo will be ancient history and our "meddling", "treatments", whatever you label it will be just another aspect of humanity that has been normalized. I bet my progeny will be able to go and get a tail just as easily as someone today would acquire a tattoo.
Yes, that's how most reacted.

I've had my phone stolen while traveling, and I can't say how much I despise any system that uses a phone number for authentication.

Go figure, you can't get a SIM card sent to you from the US to Europe, meaning that you potentially lose:

* Access to messenger apps and chat history

* Access to your bank account (with a special nod to Citi)

* Access to your email account if it uses "2FA" with a phone (looking at you, Google)

* etc

Given that my bank cards and laptop were stolen along with the phone, I've had a Very Fun Time™ dealing with all these systems.
I had a Japanese teacher who liked to talk about how surprised she was about the title in English.

She also gave me a little insight into the word 神隠し which, apparently comes from a saying. When children used to go missing, people used to say that "God snatched them away", which is why the first kanji 神 is 'god'.

Her translation of the title was "God snatched sen & chihiro away" which of course isn't a literal translation, but I thought it was interesting
You should follow your own advice, and not try to flamebait in bad faith by framing Brendan Eich as some kind of martyr or victim. Nobody ever tried to cancel HIS marriage, but he's the one who wanted to cancel and criminalize many other people's marriages. Attacking other people's human rights makes him the victimizer, not the victim. The GamerGate trolls with an axe to grind against LGBTQ+ people still regularly push that false narrative in bad faith here and elsewhere about Brendan Eich being fired and being a victim, which is bullshit. It happens often and predictably enough, and your implication is obvious enough, that it's worth debunking preemptively.
If you're using proprietary hardware drivers which target RHEL, you need stable kernel.

Also kernel updates breaking drivers is a thing.

So there's definitely value with frozen kernel version. And its almost the same value as frozen software. It just works and it won't break after update.

I’d like to point out that the open door policy to refugees came because Europe was trying to escape the demographic trap and the collapse of the social safety net. The hope was that young refugees would become net positive GDP contributors for decades, an idea borrowed from the US. If that has failed, it’s due to a failure of integration. Europe can actually be quite a racist place and in many ways the US is better at offering big opportunities to immigrants and encouraging them to become big tax contributors. The US’s secret sauce is that the only real cultural purity it has to protect is consumer capitalism.
I did the math for my aunt recently: she pays more in rent and car expenses living in suburban South Florida (Kendall) for the same square footage I get in Cambridge, MA. Living paycheck to paycheck sandwiched between a super Walmart and the Florida Turnpike, it's not exactly glamorous.

She's considering ditching the car and moving north. Gas, maintenance, and car payments are silent killers. Most people equate them to rent and cannot imagine a life where they don't pay for their car.
I assume culture wise, "Lagom" could play some role in it. Creative and peaceful mindset, simplicity. I've been to many European cities, but the Nordics, Finland, and now Estonia is catching up, they've got totally different attitudes to life and approaches. Governmental support, active youth, events... There is a Movement.
I'm surprised no one has resorted to chemical warfare. Add a can of skunk spray under the driver's seat, wired up with a motor to spray it if someone else tries to drive off in your car. Have an audible beep a few times before it goes off, to remind YOU to hit the secret switch to disable it. Car thieves will continue on their merry way, wondering what that beeping is.
Of course, you'd probably be sued by the car thief, who wouldn't spend a minute of jail time because city governments don't want to do their job, so probably not actually a good idea...

(Maybe instead of skunk spray, you could turn the radio up full blast, playing some CIA-approved heavy metal music?)
Sorry to bother you on a random comment, but is your airship thing still current?
Ah, parking... It's a topic that resonates with me deeply. I must admit, I've declined some get-togethers simply because I knew parking would be a challenge. There's nothing more disheartening than realizing the only option is to find street parking in an unfamiliar neighborhood, and the added stress of searching for a spot, especially parallel parking, just adds to the frustration. This stress often reaches a point where the first thing I do when heading to a new place is to conduct a thorough Google Maps search, examining the aerial view and Street View to identify available parking options. Of course, if public transportation is a viable alternative, I try to opt for that, but unfortunately, it's not always efficient and can significantly increase travel time.
You'd have to eat a lot of solder. Metallic lead reacts with fuck all, basically, which is why it's such a good material for things like roof flashing. It doesn't even react particularly with the hydrochloric acid in your stomach, producing only lead chloride (which will make its way out of your body fairly quickly) and hydrogen gas (not enough to do anything fun if you burp while smoking a cigarette, but let's not take chances eh). Metallic lead is about as bioavailable as sand.

No no, if you want to get lead into your system you've got to really try quite hard. Taking some lead and mixing it with tin won't get the job done, oh no, not even a little bit. You're going to want to make it into an organic salt, maybe by welding on a lovely big acetate and then getting that into your stomach.

Now why would you want to do a thing like that?

Well, you might be an ancient Roman, with a fondness for "defrutum", a sweet sticky confection made by boiling soured wine and grapes in a lead pot until all the water is driven off. The acetic acid rips lead out like nobody's business and gets well and truly stuck together. Oh, and it tastes really sweet too, this lead acetate, which is just the thing to liven up any Roman party if the wine's gone a bit funny in the sun.

Now you've got a lovely big sugar that your digestive system will happily squish into your sensitive tissues, where it'll break up and be on its way leaving a big fat lead atom right there with nothing to bind to, until it finds something. Oh hey, you know that sugars - even with a great big lead atom weighing them down - cross the blood-brain barrier just fine, right? You couldn't design a better way to get lead poisoning.

Now toss in some ergot mould because you won't eat the local wheat because everyone is going mad from something and it must be those wily locals poisoning you so you only eat rye shipped over from Rome in mouldy sacks, and pretty soon - between the brain damage from lead acetate and the hallucinogenic mould - you're ready to turn horses into senators, and tell your soldiers to blunder into midgie-infested marshes in the North of Scotland where they sink out of sight never to be seen again.

Lovely.
Sugar alcohols such as xylitol and sorbitol are very unlikely to be harmful. That said, they aren't drop-in replacements. Xylitol cools down when it dissolves, so it gives some candy their trademark "cool" feeling, but it's not something you always want. Plus, when consumed in larger quantities, it has a laxative effect.

This seems, well, naive?

Both EC2 and gcloud have had issues over the years with container breakout and leaks.

Have you ever tried to write a BASIC program for any practial purpose? I have. It’s an excercise in mental fortitude, trying to remember whatever GOSUB 11600 meant, and what global variables were used as input and which ones were altered as an effect of calling the subroutine.

I wrote business software back when people did such things in BASIC. It was no big deal.
It seems like this goes directly against the Constitution.
(Just as a preface, I'm not actually a prepper at all and don't think that civilization is about to end. But I do enjoy at least being familiar with ways to accomplish things in the absence of infrastructure.)

> just buy a couple hundred watts of consumer-grade available solar [...]

For my own disaster preparedness, this is exactly what I've done. And I use it when I go car camping. But, as you point out, it's not exactly cheap so is less suitable for parts of the world that are more likely to suffer from infrastructure breakdown (or are lacking the infrastructure entirely).

But there's also an undeniable appeal to knowing how to accomplish things like high pressure air when you don't have electricity at all.

> If bad times never happen, then what of what practical use is it to know which wild plants in my area are edible and which ones are poisonous

I think that there's great value in knowing things like this even if it's not of practical use to you. Like knowing how to sew & repair clothing even if you never need to make your own clothes. It's amazing how often knowledge in one domain can give you insight into solving problems in other, completely unrelated domains. The more in your mental hopper, the better.

> I just personally don't believe it's an especially useful hobby

Sure, depending on what you mean by "useful". I think that all hobbies are useful in some form, even if that use is just exercising your brain.
The Jupyter client is open: https://github.com/alexi/juno But we wanted to make it easy and free for anyone who wanted to try it out, so right now it runs through our own private service.

Thanks for sharing! Seems like this is a dbt-centric lineage tool that surfaces failed tests in the lineage itself?

Unlike a data observability platform like Monte Carlo which proactively monitors data, am I correct in assuming that your solution is less focused on data observability (i.e. monitoring production data and conducting root cause analysis / impact analysis) and more on ensuring reliable CI/CD?
I think chip-keys are extremely common now - my twenty year old Infiniti has one. Car theft rates have been declining for thirty years [1]. I think thieves focus on either the remaining old cars or very specialized efforts for new cars.

Trackpoint
I think as much as Americans like the idea of European healthcare systems, I think most of them would be appalled in practice.

Not that it's inherently inferior, but part of the reason healthcare is so expensive in America is that Americans (perhaps a bit spoiled by our own prosperity) demand lots of care. My wife's sister saw specialists 11 different times last year because she was not happy with the advice. And I would not say this is an entirely unheard of extreme.

In the US, if someone gets denied anything from their doctor, it is somewhat of a scandal.
Ask HN: Why are technical interviews legal while IQ tests are not in the US?
Technical interviews often ask you to solve a problem on the spot quickly while someone is watching you.

Doing well on this activity is probably highly correlated with having a high IQ.

However, this is not how people work in practice and so the work may not need such a high IQ.

So why are such technical interviews legal in the US if IQ tests are not?
No, but they seem to have some kind of compatibility wrapper to emulate the PC speaker in firmware. The early boot process on my laptop has plenty of beeps and boops I can enable but nothing more advanced than that until the operating system loads a real driver. If the UEFI firmware could play sound files, the laptop would come with much friendlier sounding (less shrill) noises.
Yes and we should all exercise.

Also, the effect is overstated because those that find it easiest to exercise need it least.
A clarification: When I say that firing people is easy, I don't mean that you as a business owner can do whatever you want. You still need a reasonable cause and some record of trying to solve the problem, before you can force someone out.

If you have a large organization and are doing a large layoff, things are more complicated. But, by that time you are not really "entrepreneurs" any more. You are an enterprise with enterprise resources and enterprise problems. :-)
i saw pipes and import as two unrelated topics, and i was just responding to import topic.

I'd love to see a resurgence of them, google is ever increasingly becoming useless as a search tool that when I see the first page is junk I just give up on the search and make note of what I'm looking for and try again at a later time or use alternate means of information retrieval.

It feels like at some point in the last 5 years we crossed some threshold where search engines are so optimized to the commercial space and selling junk that obscure searches yield no useful information. Any keyword which is so unfortunate to overlap in the commercial product space will just dominate your results and make them mostly useless. Even my advanced google fu to tack on certain phrases and other bits of language to narrow things down and formerly gave very focused results but now feels like google is atrophying in that domain.

It doesn't help that our culture has become so word overload friendly where instead of creating new words and phonetic combinations existing words are used instead and now require disambiguation to say not the product kind of this word.

Notice the 'high' prices: this is because this neighbourhood is in high demand because urban living seems to be cool again
'with the kids'. But back in the 1960s, '70s, and '80s the prices were much, much lower because all the 'cool kids' (WASPs) were flocking to the then-new suburbs and leaving the dirty city for the immigrants (Poles in the case of Roncesvalles; Little Portugal is the next area over, and Little Italy next to that). Since the late-1990s urban living started becoming cool again. Of course such urban/walkable neighbourhoods aren't built any more, so a finite resource gets its price bidded up.
