France's total electricity production from nuclear is expected to rise, actually: the government, after abandoning the plan to have nuclear covering just 50 % of its electricity mix, removed the cap on the total nuclear power installed. In addition to that, almost all the existing reactors got their life extended (so up to 50 years of operating life), and the final aim is to reach 60 years. 6 new reactors have been approved, and another 8 could get approved. Basically, the whole President Holland's plan from 2014 on reducing nuclear has been dismantled.

Denmark's renewables are highly subsidized, construction is quick (which means short-term loans), so it should not impact so much on energy prices.
Finland has built the first-of-a-kind highly delayed EPR 3 reactor Olkiluoto 3, and the electricity prices felt sharply nonetheless.

I do not see the reason why decommissioning costs should make electricity more expensive in the future, because the owner has to pay and prove that the decommissioning will be done even if the company goes bankrupt (by allocating funds in advance or by providing an insurance).

This is not to say that a solution is better than the other: it is always a matter of finding a good energy mix for a network. France is investing in energy efficiency and renewables as well.
> Wouldn't the CIA be more easily able to manipulate a small pool of representatives than an entire population? Like, WAY easier? (You can't blackmail millions of people.)

Certainly, but if the government doesn't have regular election cycles it's an all-or-nothing approach.

Consider MBS. If he doesn't want to play ball with the cia, he won't, and there isn't much the cia can do about it. He's not going anywhere anytime soon, or potentially ever during his lifetime. Contrast that against a gov that holds regular elections. The cia gets the opportunity to influence the election outcome (chance 1) and then gets a chance to influence the winner if they're not already captured (chance 2), all the while knowing if they fail chances 1 and 2 they will get to try again in a handful of years.

> Also, how is a minoritarian rule of the rich (plutocracy) a more just system than democracy?

I don't consider it minoritarian rule. The minority can only say no change. They can't craft change of their own. This helps prevent the tyranny of the majority problem. However, the majority is what is needed to actually make changes, or more aptly a super majority. This helps to make change slow and harder, which is not a bad thing in my opinion, especially considering how the ruling parties tend to oscillate every decade or so. The change that happens trends to be good for both parties, not just one.*

*Obviously a lot of things pass that are terrible (e.g, inflation protection act), but at least it required more than just 51% agreement.

I was part of the first generation of designers to have access to desktop publishing and all the entails. I ended up leveraging my computer aptitude to the point where design firms kept me in the technical realm.

The digital production realm has greatly informed my design process thinking. Where I use "digital production" efficiency techniques in the analog world.

I see my place as a designer as the last generation that is aware to the analog world and able to use digital tools.

My hope is that I get a good 15-20 more years of output.
I can tell that we have very similar point of views and I would love to talk more about this area.

I see each new design aesthetic as embedding a new feature in the overall design constraints.
> Logic itself is subjective. We have a set of heuristics we use to decide if something is "true" in a mathematical and scientific sense. But fundamentally they rely on concepts like "truth" and "logic" which we experience subjectively.

I agree that it is this way, but does it have to be? Is it physically necessary to perceive defection from this dilemma as "pedantic" (see below, how surprising!), or might it only be culturally necessary?

Take your claim for example: you are not distinguishing between logic itself and our experience of logic. You are objectively correct that there is in fact no distinction on one level (experience), but that is not the only level that exists.

How are questions of this nature (essentially: existence) answered in the physical realm, where we have high levels of skill and experience?

i do agree with some of what you’re saying google is t limited to just discontinuing a product when it wants to kill it. it could easily make a new google mail branded as a a secure one and only existing accounts or business/edu accounts can get through.

i have many of the same concerns about google, and at this point as long as there aren’t interruptions to their biggest contracts in a meaningful way, i would not put it past google to get more closed off.

I went the Unifi route a few years ago and have had zero issues, nor have any of my friends who I have convinced to do it as well. With HomeKit you can have cameras show up on your TV and the api lets you monitor all things related to your network in Grafana.

However, in order to maximize the benefits you need to have ethernet wiring throughout your home because so many of the products are PoE.

I think in Picasa's case, they learned from that and turned it into Google Photos. I don't think there's any shared code, but at least they learned from it from a product perspective. I would say Google Photos turned out great.
Eventually these autonomous vehicles should share driving condition data in real-time-ish. If one car finds a stretch of the road slippery, it should basically mark it on the map as a bad location, and then other cars and be careful.

I think weather conditions can also predict road conditions pretty well. And the combine that with historical data on where things were slippery, I bet you can create a pretty good model of what conditions to expect across a driving environment.

Although in Canada, sometimes all roads in a city are just horrid - dozens of cars in ditches or hitting each other because no one can stop. And maybe in those cases, autonomous vehicles should refuse to drive until it is improved.
While I’m not as familiar with Islam as the other two, my understanding is its oral history diverged long before there was any written Jewish history. So while they do have a common origin, its split was about 350 years prior to any written Jewish history and about 1800 years before Christianity.
No, "lack of good tooling" is a completely different argument.

The argument put forth by the comment I replied to is that there is basically no point learning a new language, because to work with existing code you still have to know the old language.

Which I think is a massive fallacy. Yes, Kotlin programmers still have to understand Java to be effective. That doesn't make Kotlin useless.

Agree that Tesla isn't self driving in the technical sense.
However, given public perception and number of units.. Tesla is what 99% to 99.9% of consumers will interact with in the "self driving" space.

Even Waymo still has some safety drivers per the article linked.
And if we are going to constrain our analysis to self driving pilot programs, then we need to constrain the comparison to the same geofenced area.
Arguably there are not a lot of fatal accidents per 1M miles on the local roads of Phoenix/SanFran by human drivers either.
Eventually, when the app reaches a certain amount of downloads, do you believe they will eventually regulate the prices as the one you have to pay for physically?

No. Mathematics is about theorem generation. Going from axioms to theorems via proofs. Though some go from theorems to find axioms.

What you are describing is just arithmetic. That's the interpretation or model for one particular set of axioms, theorems, etc. What's objective about 2-like? Feels abstract.

Funny I asked a simple question and yet you rambled on about nonsense you don't even understand.
What is this American moral universalism? Why would “we combat” or “take down” MBS? What the f—k business do we have weighing in on Saudi society? Also, do you know who is waiting in the wings behind MBS? It’s not anyone western liberals are going to like.

And I’m not defending MBS—but the reason I dislike Saudi is that they do the exact same moral universalism to the rest of the Muslim world, exporting Wahhabism to moderate Muslim countries. I see no reason for the US to get into Crusades 2.0.

I think a $9m exit is doable based on the other big players in the space. One has a track record of raising $80m in their last round if crunchbase can be trusted. If they are getting $80m in a B or C round then I think there is enough market space for me to come get 2-10% (which pushes past $10m ARR).

I appreciate the info / perspective from your comment! Thank you!
Having basically all their users (well, as much as for any of their revenue generating products anyway) be revenue generating would require practically no effort for google specifically.
It fit their revenue model perfectly. It is trivial to put the exact same ads in there as they already had on search and gmail, and it is stickier than search or gmail.

If your career can be significantly affected by devs fresh from bootcamp

Well, there are certainly problems if that's the case. But it's not necessarily senior ICs that are the problem.

I've experienced a few companies where "boot camp yahoos" wound up essentially running the show to ruinous effect. Why? They had numbers, essentially, and management was too hands-off to prevent it.

To give a specific example: we had a product where our UX was basically: fill out this HTML form to apply for a financial product. Traditional dinosaur-style server side rendering was more than enough.

The front end boot camp yahoos somehow wound up forcibly moving us to React. They got that pushed through and approved before anybody knew about it because they gave a bunch of BS stats to management who didn't care and also didn't have the technical chops to spot the BS.

The end result was that simple changes to the UX (like adding a question to the form, or removing it) required 1,000+ lines of code across multiple repos. Hundreds of hours dealing with that mess for zero gain instead of actually doing things that made the company money or improved our process in meaningful ways.

Senior ICs had no real chance to oppose this plan, and many of them were happy simply to get "React" onto their resumes.

So yeah, problems aplenty, but it's possible to be an IC and have one's shit rocked by this kind of thing through no real fault of one's own.

(I'm not crapping on React specifically here. It is powerful and there are use cases where it excels. I am also not crapping on junior or boot camp engineers. They are doing their best. It's a management problem.)
There's a new one in the mix too, called Pupstruction, which seems to be Disney's "this is legally distinct from paw patrol" entry. Watch Disney Junior and you'll see a lot of Bluey and Pupstruction.

Bluey is still king to me, but Pupstruction being centered around construction rather than law enforcement is a positive distinction in my eyes.
After all this time, React's sheer tonnage of boilerplate still astonishes me. That abstraction leaks like useMemo(…) even need to exist in the first place…

Folks want to solve their own problems, but they keep getting saddled with React's as well.
Sure, but it often required a) you to detect and diagnose it on your own and b) a couple hours to a couple of weeks for them to agree and swap it out. Versus the ability to click a few buttons and have a brand new server on separate hardware.

Re: ElasticBeanstalk - it's just a feeling, and hopefully not correct - it just doesn't feel like it's one of their primary focuses, and seems suspiciously stable overall. There's nothing I particular want them to add, though, so maybe it's "perfect".

I love it, though - it's been a great boon for our small team - allowing for a painless hands-off deployment strategy that's worked great (largely unchanged) for almost a decade.
Those were a pita to install and I always wondered if it would harm the motherboard by pressing too hard. Hopefully this is not that bad.

1) Hopefully your income stream will last, but just remember that monthly $5K you're counting on might not be around forever. You're probably going to have re-invent yourself multiple times in your life.

2) Pick a profession that you might be able to meld with your technical/computer skills and interests in the future. Maybe you'll have an idea for a future startup that combines your job that other people without the tech background haven't recognized.
I wonder if you could use it to call some existing C libraries. Maybe just add some wrapper functions to execute the compiled binaries, and return the result. As long as you keep the same order of arguments for the function call, this could be quite straightforward. /s

I was living in NYC when that happened. On Staten Island. I think I remember waking up late and looking at the NY Times online or something and seeing a picture of the first tower with flames and smoke coming out of it. I found it a bit hard to believe, but was able to walk down the street about a block and could see the smoke and the top of the building from there.

Coincidentally, this was not long after I had a temporary word processing job at Wachtell Lipton. One of the things I worked on there was reformatting a section of a massive World Trade Center lease document.

For some reason I remember the supervisor asking me to have a smoke with her in the smoking room one day and casually asking what I thought about bin Laden or something.

At the time, none of that seemed odd, but years later I heard some interesting theories.

Another weird thing is that I had also recently gone for an interview for a SQL programming job in one of the WTC towers. Luckily they said that they could not sell my resume to their boss even though they believed I could do the job (I was referred by a technical night class where I had demonstrated a lot of pre-existing knowledge and skills).
True, historical data is basically what humans use too. I just wonder if there's a way to prevent the accidents that would generate that data
Directory listing appears to be broken: I see pages without content when trying to browse directories [1]; observed on a few instances I tried, with a few repositories.

The code div is restricted to something like 50 characters, leading to line wrapping, if the browser window is at a width allowing about 150 characters; huge and unnecessary margins there, particularly awkward for code.

Looks like it may be nice and useful though, especially if it had a working search on top of browsing: GitHub's new search is tiring to use for skimming a new codebase now, and cloning large repositories for such skimming is inconvenient.
