It’s really person dependent. I really mean it, and a lot of folks do. Additionally if you said “not good,” most people will be caught off guard but pivot into sympathy and asking what’s wrong etc. It’s a perfectly acceptable answer. A key thing though is to make sure it’s appropriate to the moment. If my boss asks me how I’m doing I’ll tell them if it’s not good in some way related to work or my performance (I.e., “not good, I can’t get this to compile” or “not good, my mom died I need to take time off,” or even, “not good, I didn’t sleep well last night.”) for friends the “not good” can be deeper, and for family it’s pretty open. For strangers, I still might say “not good” if something particularly acute is happening (“not good, my mom just died,” “not good, I just got out of the hospital this morning.”) I’ve never had someone get uppity about a “not good” response, and have always had an appropriate pivot to sympathy and a refocus on the question.

As such, I’ve always found it odd people narrow in on the “how are you” question being perfunctory and people don’t genuinely care. They routinely ask it and generally expect “good thanks” but react appropriately to other answers.
The story of Russians digging holes and getting radiation poisoning was propaganda, just like Ghost of Kiev. The levels of radiation in the soil are not high enough to cause radiation poisoning, except for very few hotspots that they'd have to go looking for. It's mostly alpha radiation left which is dangerous only if radioactive particles are inhaled.

I'm more inclined to believe the IAEA. Also,

>They concluded that the radiation levels where the soldiers camped were three times what the IAEA reported

Three times more is not much when talking about radiation. Flying in a plane exposes you to about that much more radiation compared with being on the ground at sea level.

The reason why you have to keep doing it over and over again is because they keep trying with short lived cookies to get you to accept and once you accept (accidentally or on purpose) you get a cookie that is super long lived so you will not be able to opt out again without being moderately technical.

These are all dark patterns, this one I call 'the ratchet'.
Yes but notice it is about reducing expenses not about income.
"If it is perspective in travel sketches that interests you, then don't waste time on classical anatomy." Mild disagreement here. I'm personally more interested in landscape drawing and painting, but for practice I turn to faces and figures, preferably life drawing. It's much harder to tell whether your perspective drawing is a little off than to sense that there is something wrong with the proportions in a life drawing or a Bargue exercise.
Couldn't agree more. I was mildly engaged before the "If it didn't, I would step down and recruit a replacement," but immediately stopped reading.

The statement is wrong-headed in so many ways it invalided anything the author could possibly say after.
Right, it's not alright specifically because they're not only saying "I'm financially comfortable and I don't care if other people aren't", they're saying "you shouldn't care either and we should all stop talking about it, aren't I mature?" Seems antisocial to me.

I was completely confused for several moments there because I was thinking of automotive transmissions (which cause efficiency losses in regular cars but aren't used in (the vast majority of) EVs), then I realized you meant electric/infrastructural transmission losses. Right.

> what about all the energy needed to recharge the batteries? Last I checked, most of that still comes from fossil fuels.

In my part of Canada a full 1/3rd of our electricity comes from renewables. In other places the number is even higher.

Hell, Texas, of all places, produces over a quarter of it's electricity with renewables and another 6% with nuclear:

https://www.eia.gov/state/data.php?sid=TX

Renewables are huge and growing every single year as solar and wind become cheaper and cheaper.

And that's ignoring the shift from coal to nat gas in traditional power plants (in fact, where I am, there are no more coal fired plants in operation) which is significantly less carbon intensive, especially when compared to an individual internal combustion engine burning gas or diesel.

Bluntly, you are out of date.

That's not the argument. Morby said, and I quote;

> to an unreasonable extent then that is a problem....fairly compensatory to those who contribute

There is a reason to expect reasonably equal growth, as all wage classes are contributing.

Also if you are going to say something like;

> There is absolutely no reason to expect equal wage growth to begin with.

Then what's your argument?

It didn't get to that stage, unfortunately.
Shady property managers consider security deposits an additional revenue stream and will cite any minuscule damage as reason for forfeiting it. For example they'll cite a need for "professional carpet cleaning" that coincidentally costs as much as the deposit, and then just pocket the money without delivering clean carpets for the next resident.

When property management does not pay the utility bill they will furnish apartments with the cheapest energy hog appliances. When they do pay the utility bill they will lock the thermostat.

If you select an premium apartment and the market is not tilted in favor of landlords as it is in most cities then they tend to care about the customer experience. Since they're making their margin on the higher rent already and they know too much BS will lead to people switching away.
Last I checked, the US was on a very short list of countries without maternity leave and the only developed/wealthy country without it and also on a short list of developed countries without universal health coverage.

It's not about reducing expenses. It's about trying to establish a social safety net that most countries that see themselves as more civilized than the US already have and it's part of what reduces inequality between The Haves and Have Nots in most places.

Right, although I've worked with TWTs, klystrons, etc. in terrestrial equipment and have some familiarity with them, I've only casually thought about the TWTs in the Voyagers and in space use generally.

Given the remarkable longevity of the Voyagers, what I'm surprised about is that there hasn't been much discussion about their componentry and why they've been so reliable. For example I've seen nothing written about the engineering involved in Voyagers' TWTs and why they have been so reliable.

For instance, what is the cathode material, barium, strontium, thorium oxide, etc. used in these TWTs? Was its selection criteria based on emitters with the lowest work function/highest emission at the lowest temperature with preservation of the heater life foremost in mind, and or was it based on oxides with highest ruggedness—least affected by cathode poisoning, etc. Discussions about Richardson's laws and cathode emitters is something I almost never come across these days let alone how they've played a role in the engineering of Voyagers' longevity.

Whilst component manufacturers consider these matters, terrestrial users generally don't, we just reach for replacement parts when components fail. Perhaps I'm just not reading the right material but given the remarkable performance of these spacecraft, I'm surprised we're not focusing on the science and engineering that's made that all possible.

No doubt those who're involved in space engineering are focused on these issues but it seems to me not much information has filtered down to even people like me who have some limited knowledge of the technology let alone the general science-reading public.

Using the Voyagers' history and notoriety would be an excellent way to interest students in the physics of TWTs not to mention the material science and the engineering used in their design and manufacture.

When one considers it, there's a lot of fascinating science and engineering involved in making this 'relic' from the vacuum tube era function and keeping it so.
I understand what you meant. But here is the thing, nature did create some of the most efficient and marvelous engineering feats we have ever seen and still struggle to match. Take the knee for example. You would be really hard pressed to make something that has ALL the flexibility and functionality of the knee while being as durable and reliable even using some of the most advanced technology right now.

Another example is the bacteria. Some bacteria is so efficient it is literally approaching the limit of thermodynamics. You would need some of the most overengineered heat engine to match that kind of efficiency. And I guarantee you that we are far from able to make such a system as small and reliable as a bacterium. In fact if such a system were to appear right now, we would immediately call it incomprehensible alien technology.

I am not saying that every CEO decision is a sound or good decision, but the failure in your example would be at whatever management level is between the CEO and the engineers because they provided could have provided sound advice.

However, if the strategic need of the organization required that level of direct engineering support more than the specific engineering productivity…it could be a sound decision.

As an example, I worked at a organization in the late 90s managing field engineers. For an entire week the CEO required our team to be in office instead of in the field. We thought it idiotic at the time, but apparently it help create the optics that convinced the owner of a small company to sell his company which allowed our company acquire a game changing product.

None of us understood the big picture because we couldn’t see the forest through the trees.

Yes, and it's even worse than that. The ice also reflects and awful lot of energy back into space due to being highly reflective. When that the ice is gone, that exposes darker surface which is a lot less reflective. That will also result in lot more heating.

The more things warm up, the more things will warm up in a vicious cycle with many positive feedback loops. Sadly a lot of it seems irreversible at this point.
It's not a joke. I feel exactly the same way as grandparent. The more you learn about the world and its workings, the more unhappy you become. It's a hopeless feeling. Like civilization has already peaked before I was even born. I can see where the world's going and I don't like it but can't change it.

I'd say it's the people who don't feel this way who need help but on second thought I wouldn't wish these feelings on anyone.
The huge backlash against Reddit's policy change is a good example of that. Sure, devs and programmers were upset, but after a week or two, all went back to normal as if nothing happened. Reddit continued to work, and its alternatives didn't gain much traction.

I have an engineering background and then pivoted into managements science, and the difference in perspectives in the two fields is really obvious.

You have it backwards. Open source software is free as in beer, while free software, by definition, is free as in freedom. The right to view or modify the source code is only guaranteed for people who actually own the code, and developers have a right to sell that.

I see that you are the author of these "Collective Source"/"Research Solutions" pages, based on the social media username listed on your HN profile. The purpose of your entire article is to label the Open Source Initiative as "irrelevant" so that you can promote a weaker definition of the term open source that does not protect the freedom of users to use the software as they wish.

While you are entitled to your own opinion, your statement "The Open Source Initiative was often regarded as a one-man show" is false in light of the easily available evidence that the Open Source Initiative is supported by numerous individuals and organizations. Your entire argument is tarnished by this false claim, since the Open Source Initiative has much more credibility than a "community" consisting of an empty Discourse forum, despite the Discourse forum being newer.

Nobody is preventing MongoDB Inc. from restricting how MongoDB can be used with their Server Side Public License, which is a source-available software license. Nobody is preventing Facebook from restricting how its source-available project LLaMA 2 can be used. However, the FOSS community overwhelmingly rejects Meta's and MongoDB's attempts to water down the term open source to apply it to software licenses that restrict how its users can use the software.

There is no shame in calling a piece of software source-available, since source-available software still offers more transparency than proprietary software with no published source code. But Meta's and MongoDB's efforts to brand their software as open source when they do not allow the freedoms that FOSS users expect from open source software are harmful marketing exercises that threaten the user freedoms championed by the open source software movement, all for the sake of commercial gain. It is important to distinguish between source-available software and open source software so users can properly determine the software that meets their needs based on the freedoms they afford.

There's also the weird and uncomfortable truth that substantial wealth accumulated all in one place is what keeps a significant amount of private business, arts, and craftsmen in business.

Who really needs a beautifully-curved hand-carved wood staircase? Nobody, but rich guys want them occasionally, so that's keeping a whole company and a couple of master craftsmen in business.

You could argue that this is just a misallocation of resources and that without said rich guys the same economic productivity would move elsewhere instead. But I'm not convinced that's equivalent, it's "mythical man-month" reasoning. $1 in 100 people's pockets is not the same as $100 in one pocket.

I'm not at all arguing that the money is deserved or that we shouldn't consider wealth redistribution policy. As you said, it comes back down to quality of life. When we talk about wealth inequality, it's important to realize that we're not trying to prevent people from making money and spending it on things other than groceries and gas, we're trying to prevent people from being materially poor, and mess with everything else as little as possible.

The only goal of any democratically elected government program is: improved citizens.

It is in the definition: “for the people”.
giving a 100 million dollar donation allows you to subtract 100 million from your income (assuming you had a lot more income, there is a limit) which at a 50% tax rate means you gave $50 million out of your account and the charity received $100 million into theirs, the rest coming from the govt in the form of taxes you would have given them but they didn't get from you.

non-profits accepting donations will allow you to structure them as is tax advantageous to you, say $10 million a year for 10 years, is announced as a $100 million donation.

but with appreciated assets something trickier happens. Say I paid $10 million for a block of stock, and it appreciates to $110 million. If I sell it, $100 million of that is income, but I donate the income so I don't have to pay tax on it... However, if I don't sell the stock, and just donate $100 million of it as stock, my charitable contribution is $100 million, and there is no tax on the $91 million portion which is income (did I do that arithmetic right?) and therefore I can deduct the $100 million donation from an additional $100 million of income completely unrelated to this block of stock. The US treasury and public will never see any tax for all that income, and will give me a break on the rest of my taxes.

If they cost more (say $350+) I probably go get a slightly more expensive, but much more modern RTX.
