You can also compare Japan or France both of which built out a lot of nuclear power. When you say "Chinese labor is cheaper" it sounds like an assumption based on comparing wages in the US with wages in China which is not how you would figure the cost for a Chinese business to build a reactor in China and sell the power to Chinese citizens and Chinese industry because all of those entities are within the same economy.
I think a lot depends on your home situation.

If I sit down to watch a movie at home, I'm barraged by kids, a puppy, distractions, needing to pause a lot, people going in-and-out, other kinds of background noise, etc. Even if the theater isn't perfect (and luckily I live near several good ones) the simple lack of distraction at the movies is huge for me.
I used to work at Yelp, which had something that I think it similar to what you are describing called Data Pipeline (https://engineeringblog.yelp.com/2019/12/cassandra-source-co...).

I remember it being pretty simple (like, run one or two bash commands) to get a source table streamed into a kafka topic, or get a kafka topic streamed into a sink datastore (S3, mysql, cassandra, redshift, etc). Kafka topics can also be filtered/transformed pretty easily.

E.g. in https://engineeringblog.yelp.com/2021/04/powering-messaging-... they run `datapipe datalake add-connection --namespace main --source message_enabledness`, which results in the `message_enabledness` table being streamed into a (daily?) parquet snapshot in S3, registered in AWS Glue.

It is open source but it's more of the "look at how we did this" open source VS the "it would be easy to stick this into your infra and use it" kind of open source :(
For me it's a bit like the whole "woke-ism" thing.

The vast majority of people enjoy each other and don't subscribe to the vitriol that comes from both sides. In that manner, the internet is a bit of an echo chamber where if you get all of your impressions of the world from it, you'd think people were constantly at each others throats.

The news is the same way, they report negativity, so it has a real tendency to make you start thinking of the world in such a negative way.

That's not to say there aren't real threats out there, but the vast majority of people are just trying to get through their day.

This happens to police officers too, most of their interactions with people are negative due to the nature of their work, over time that starts being their default position towards people. I'll never forget the time I walked into a bakery and decided to get a cupcake for the police officer sitting in his car outside the shop (he was blocking the alley, unsure why). The change in his face from defensiveness to pure joy when I walked up to this vehicle was easily worth the money spent.

It's nfs so I always assume corporate acceptance of Microsoft is the root cause. Old companies like this are often incredibly insecure due primarily to the wildly irresponsible practice of having everything on active directory and network drives in general.

Once you've got a whole company that relies on dumping stuff on a network drive you're pretty much fucked, it's very difficult to get non-technical users to switch to SFTP. It's like pulling teeth.
Can I save on property tax if I float a houseboat on a pond I dig?
Technically yes, but how that is handled is up to the country. In the US, a concept known as "corporate personhood" exists. A strange concept, because if a company murders someone, the company, nor any of its executives, go to prison.

The law is weird.
I agree. I like kagi, I like it better than Google. But it's not _that_ much better. Certainly not $10 a month better.

Why? What's the (supposed) fear?
Silly question: since a hybrid like a Prius is MEANT to be a generator (of sorts), would an old Prius be a better choice for a stationary generator? Lord knows they are pretty abundant and fairly cheap now.
Having lived 5 days without power in the wake of the Iowa derecho in August 2020, I now fully appreciate having an emergency source of electricity. Generators were not to be found, and many were stolen from people's yards, including one from an animal shelter. Gas and ice were hard to come by. Cooking was challenging for us since our stove was electric. My pellet grill was/is electric so we were unable to cook. After 3 days, we had to toss everything from the fridge and freezer.
I don’t know what that means.

My entire career has been selling copyrighted works for good money. And I have been able to confidently do that for many years because of copyright protection.

Yeah, because it’s describing how a product works, being passed off as knowledge.
I can't believe the current state of things is so good, that I'd default to using the Proton version of a game over the linux native port.

I had to reset the rating a few months back because people would give me a 1 star review when a song didn’t open. I always try to be as helpful as possible here - when a song doesn’t open, it has a link to email me, and I’ve always fixed these issues. But those 1 star reviews never got updated. Hopefully now that’s a thing of the past, because it’s tested on all 800 pieces from the catalog, which all have to parse successfully to generate the previews

If you’d like to add to the reviews, it would be really helpful!
My Cable TV package comes with at least 5 different streaming platforms. I only have said package because it actually brings my bills total cost down, somehow.

Ask HN: Should we be saving our favorite information locally?
Here's a thought, and someone please tell me if I'm wrong, but if you have bookmarks to favorite articles, essays, poems, etc... I recommend you use the browser print function to print them to PDF format and save them locally. Reasons:

1) With the advent of ChatAI people will be googling much less if at all, which will reduce traffic to websites. It may not make economic sense for the websites to stay up, so your favorite essay will go away. It might be saved in the internet archive, or it might not

2) Hard drives are ridiculously cheap. A 10 terabyte hard drive (10,000 gigabytes) is less than $200

3) An AI like ChapGPT is not guaranteed to be trained on your favorite information, so it may be lost to you or hard to find again

4) Soon we will have AI assistants which can be trained on all the PDFs you have saved to produce a highly customized and personal AI tailored to what you like

It's more about discussion quality. Does humor add to a discussion? Sure. It's good to laugh. but, what happens when the majority (and this will happen) of your replies are just simple grabs at humor? the quality discussion gets lost in the noise. So it comes down to principle, members here have agreed to stay on topic, expand on it, dive deeper, annotate. if you want to throw some humor in the midst of doing that, I imagine that would be fine.
Yeah that's true but I know for a fact that many of my friends would like to simply learn a few simple songs without really getting into the details of learning music! So this might be helpful for all those people like them!
It's one of those science-fiction adjacent technologies people have been talking about since at least the 1970s which manifests in this practical form

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_torch

That wikipedia article doesn't really go into it but that kind of thing can eat PFAS and other "indestructible" toxics and potentially some advanced civilization could toss all of their waste into one and recycle the chemical elements.

The thing is the worst components of spent fuel are Cesium and Iodine which are close in atomic mass and the potentially reusable U, Pu and maybe Th are again fairly alone in the mass spectrum and you don't necessarily have to separate those for recycle either.

You need a lot more precision though if you want to separate out U or Pu isotopes and I think you still need a big-ass Calutron for that.

That issue of that MDPI journal had some other articles about reprocessing too, like some French scientists figured out how to tune up established aqueous reprocessing so it didn't use volatile organic compounds for instance.
Clickhouse open source and cloud user. My understanding is that the cloud version uses S3. Which would mean that they have very specific tenant pattern and code to run that version. This may be why lightweight work a specific way in that environment, or they need a way to test it at scale that would be hard through a feature flag in the open source product. Lightweight deletes were released to both, and previous roadmaps listed updates as upcoming.

You should be using ReplacingMergeTree if you are doing updates at the current moment.
Codeberg is a service not a separate software. Just like you wouldn't count salsa.debian.org or framagit.org as separate from GitLab, they are the same with maybe some local customization.

What's the pricing model here?
the AppStore lists a yearly subscription as $10, but then an additional IAP to import songs of $5? It's confusing, and I never install apps when the pricing is unclear.
Also, any plans for lifetime, as a lot of people simply don't want yet another subscription.
Fair enough, as someone sometime somewhere said "you only have control over your actions and your thoughts".
A working car already has an alternator. Just plug in to that.
I read this differently. The author doesn't say YouTube "invented" the term; he says they "established" it. I interpreted this to mean that they brought attention to the concept of "focusing on the output rather than the medium or the message" to the masses of "amateur" creators who now felt like their purpose was not just to "consume" this stuff, but also to create it, regardless of its worth or the harm it does to them.

I've certainly experienced this all around me. Perfectly boring people who have nothing to do with media production will reference the stuff they're watching on YouTube or finding on Instagram as "content", even when it's just their cousin's photos of themselves taking selfies on a beach in Hawaii with an acai bowl. This to me is "establishing" a trend, not inventing it.

Personally, I really dislike this trend. I especially find the term "consume content" to be... gross, actually. Like a pig at a trough. But I'm not sure how common my experience is.
How are the results outside SV/tech/software development? I worry it'll be like early DuckDuckGo with a hard tilt toward libertarian and conservative content no matter what you search for. I couldn't search DDG back then for anything remotely queer without at least one result telling me I'm going to hell and a menagerie of op-eds from right wing figureheads.

I can't do a long demo like I did with DDG because of the free limits, and $5-10 is a lot of money for me right now. So I ask here.
By actually investigating thefts. Me and my friends had several bikes stolen in a Belgian train station's bike park and police do not check cameras, even if you can timebox the theft within 3 hours. "No resources to investigate".
I'm pretty sure they outsource/fund a fairly large amount of the work, the article mentions Igalia & from memory Codeweavers are largely responsible for Proton.

Valve itself is a pretty small shop. Although their own efforts & funding absolutely should be praised.

The political failure to solve nuclear power construction and lifetime fuel lifecycle issues for the last 40 years is a huge component of climate change.

We technically could have switched substantial amounts of power generation to nuclear, safely, at reasonable cost, with a spent fuel storage solution... by the 1980s.

Ironically, the stars were aligned by the mid-80s, if Reagan hadn't punted post-Chernobyl and had instead used it to crow about the superiority of modern, safer Western reactor designs and put serious federal money behind construction programs.

Per unit costs are dominated by volume.

Why politicians can't understand this boggles the mind.
Yup. The other way to view this story is that Amazon is raising the price of Prime by $3/month and introducing a new product, Prime with Ads, that will be $3/month less than Prime.
Well, they threatened LibreSignal with legal action, both for accessing their service and for using the Signal name, demanding that any third party client runs their own entire separate server network. Sounds pretty much like a ban.
Jesus Christ what a difference between Michael Larabel's old and new photo. So he's not Dorian Gray after all!
Many years ago when I was a junior dev at Amazon, there was a massive project internally to split up every internal system into regional versions with limited gateways allowing calls between regions. The reason? We had run out of internal IPv4 addresses.

The Principal PM in charge of the "regionalization" effort was asked in a Q&A "why didn't we just switch to IPv6?".

Her answer was something along the lines of "The number of internal networking devices we currently have that cannot support IPv6 is so large that to replace them we would have needed to buy nearly the entire world's yearly output of those devices, and then install them all."[0]

It's easy to presume malicious intent on the IPv4 front from Amazon, but with so many AWS systems being on the scale they are at, I find it easy to believe that replacing all of the old network hardware may just be a project too large to do on a short timescale.

[0] - At least, that's my memory of it. I'm sure that's not an entirely accurate quotation.

This is an interesting idea
I think there are multiple sides to this. Some people legitimately do not care whether or not they wear branding or at least prefer to be assured of reliability of the clothing fit and quality. This approach isn't necessarily more expensive either. Something from Nike, Adias, UnderArmor sold at a discount, say at Nordstrom Rack, is superior in quality to the destined-for-landfill clothing of H&M and Primark.

I don't like branding either. For normal cotton wear, it's largely Uniqlo peppered with more unique pieces from minimally branded designers. For sportswear I tend to purchase from Lululemon because it's high quality and minimally branded. However, I understand it would be much cheaper to buy a bunch of discount Nike, Adias, or New Balance clothing. So I don't necessarily associate overt branding with disposable wealth per-se and I would say it depends on the brand and the context the clothing is being worn (but maybe that's only because of my understanding of brand differences). I would assume someone wearing all Lululemon to be more wealthy than someone wearing all Adidas even though it's less branding.

That said, certain designer brands serve only to be a status symbol like Gucci, LV, Supreme, Kenzo, Bathing Ape, Off-White, Balenziaga..the list goes on. Hell, at least if someone is driving a Mercedes or BMW they're getting a well built car, there's almost no excuse to pay more than $50 for a T-shirt just because it's from Fendi or Maison Kitsune.

As we pointed out in other comments, sneakers are an exception and it's almost impossible to find decent sneakers without branding and this probably has to do with the economies of scale.
