We, as a society can't tighten the bolts on plane doors.

Its not a question of IF we have an accident its how many, how often and how bad. It's gonna be greed, trying to get more out of the plant, or cutting corners on keeping it safe, its two people who had fights with their partners and dont cross check, Its a tidal wave and a sequence of events that no one thought of.

And we know the scope of those things: Chernobyl, 20k years 1000 mile exclusion zone. It will take them 100 years to clean up the buildings that are there, we will likely need to build ANOTHER rolling roof to continue that work. Fukushima is a cluster fuck still. They just recently started removing spent uranium fuel rods that were on site. Most nuclear sites have cooling pools filled with radioactive material, that needs to be stored for a scale that is beyond human comprehension. Meanwhile no one has a good or straight answer on how to deal with the meltdown, the fuel IN the ground, still hot.

All that fuel is waiting for someone to turn it into a dirty bomb. Or we can start recycling it and running breeder reactors (and they are dangerous and have the down sides, typically they dont generate much power).

Right now we have about 379.79GW of nuclear generation globally from 400 odd rectors. At the ongoing cost of the two meltdowns. Right now solar is growing by 228 GW a year.

TO keep pace with solar, you're going to have to build 200 reactors a year, every year, for the next 20 years. The solar has its "death toll" built in at install time. The reactor's death toll is one of human factors, it's not an IF it's a when. And that cost could be 3 mile island, or a Chernobyl. That cost could be some wack job breaking in and stealing waste for a dirty bomb, or an accident moving it to the long term storage that we DONT have right now, and dont know how to secure for the time scale that it will be deadly on.
Now they just need to organise effectively.

But how do you organise a disparate group whose only common characteristic is that they don't believe in imaginary deities?
> Water is a lot easier to store than electricity. Desalinate while the sun is shining to fill a reservoir that you can pull from 24/7.

Cheap to store, expensive to transport. Desalinisation only makes sense if you are near the coast and short of water. Further inland it becomes uneconomical.

The Earth is not short on fresh water, the problem is getting fresh water where it is needed.
At least in the EU, the cookie banners aren't mandatory. They're required only if you want to set cookies that aren't necessary, or collect data that isn't necessary.
It's the same inverse signal in newspaper names too. Russian propaganda Pravda (Truth), Polish tabloid Fakt (Fact), etc. Organisations that practice X every day typically don't have to put X in the name to convince you about it.

I am not looking for things to dwell on to make myself unhappy.

However, I am a curious observer of the technology industry and I read the article above to understand how this company is behaving in this new spring of its life.

Ain’t nothing wrong with keeping up some news, eh?
I honestly don't understand how your comment here relates to what I said...
Ok on the cookie banner, although that is not my reading of the law. The 'read in app' thing is ultra annoying because it pops up after you have read a sentence or two.
Yes! There are a lot of benefits to the 'everything is a file' philosophy, but files aren't very good APIs for a structured data. The perfect example is the stuff in /proc and /sys. Making it all 'just a file' is super nice and flexible at first, but either makes stuff very difficult to change (the file becomes a poorly-specified inconvenient ad-hoc API), or makes it very hard to build applications that work in the long term (because the application has to write a change-tolerant parser). It makes a very cool demo (look, I can do stuff to TCP sockets using bash!), and really convenient for ad-hoc stuff, but is inferior to a real API for applications that need to keep working year after year after year while still being able to patch the rest of the system.
The things people worship now, they don't call God. That doesn't always make them irreligious. I can think of more than one popular modern movement that is deistic, in that it fashions a god-like power out of some idea, a soul-like essence out of another. The church of the subreddit.
Nothing like having a lot of money riding on it, as an incentive for getting it right.
> Theoretically if Borgbackup or Duplicity are backing up to S3 they're using all the same commands as the S3 CLI/SDK.

They are not. Both Borg and Duplicity pack files into compressed, encrypted archives before uploading them to S3; "s3 sync" literally just uploads each file as an object with no additional processing.
That is fine for opening a deposit account. The fraud we're talking about is for obtaining credit or future financial obligations. It is wrong to let this be done with so little proof of identity and enforce the obligation in courts.

Banks have notaries of the public. After you have established a relationship with a bank, the notary may have enough evidence to authenticate you for others. If you have continued to use the bank in an anonymous manner, then you should not be authenticated to others.

Yeah. That's all entirely irrelevant.
> We, as a society can't tighten the bolts on plane doors.

And yet planes are the single safest places you can be at any given time. Even on a 737-NG you're far more likely to die driving to/from the airport than during the flight.

I would strongly suggest rethinking how you evaluate and manage tail risk.

> Or we can start recycling it and running breeder reactors (and they are dangerous and have the down sides, typically they dont generate much power).

I'm not going to get into it with you because this is just gish gallop, but no, they do not generate less power than conventional reactors. They require dramatically less fuel, several orders of magnitude. Some of them even produce more fuel than they consume. They're not really used only because the cost of Uranium is about $0.005/kWh and there's plenty of it, so there's no need for breeder reactors.

I refer you once again to Brandolini's law. Pretty much everything you claim is wrong and easily disproven with a quick Google search.

Don't facts get in the way of a good narrative, I guess.
I don’t get it.

This article points to concrete actions that Amazon is taking. It explicitly states end result. We can all agree that needing to get a warrant first makes things harder, yes?

Are you implying that they are lying about this? Or are you implying that it’s meaningless because it’s not being done for what you see as commendable reasons?

Please don’t use my questions as an opportunity to get on your soapbox. I am really just trying to understand if this is anything more than “Amazon bad”.

>the very word "barista" is Italian

now hol' up

in English, we have a suffix -ist for a person who does something: machinist, pianist, flautist. In Italian, they instead use the suffixes -isto or -ista to mean the same thing (which suggests English got "ist" from Norman French)

what does this particular -ista do? stands at a bar, that's why they are bar-isti. What's a bar, in Italy? well, "bar" not an Italian word, they borrowed the word from English.

> CEO Calhoun to address investors in Jan. 31 earnings call

Of course, the short-sighted investors will drive the stock price down, and Boeing will cut more corners in other plane models, instead of driving the stock price up to fund safety efforts.

The entire world relies on Boeing and Airbus, if they shut down the world's economy will grind to a halt, FedEx/UPS/USPS/DHL will stop functioning, executives can't travel, emergency medical care will cease to exist, families will be isolated, and tourism will die.

Their budgets for safety efforts and R&D for the transportation of ALL of the above and trillions of dollars worth of global economy should NOT be at the mercy of some armchair hooligans on Wall Street.
And it's seasonal. Flatwater vs. whitewater (also bidirectional vs. one). How hard? How much portaging?

None of it's really reasonable for a binary database.
I know for a fact that my Levoit unit isn't that sophisticated because when it asks you to replace the filter there's simply a button which resets the filter life back to 100% that you're supposed to press after changing it - if it were actually doing anything clever to determine the state of the filter then you wouldn't have to tell it that it's been replaced, it would be able to tell on its own. I suspect it's nothing more than a timer which triggers the warning after running for some hardcoded number of hours.
And the amount of water for farming that is used to grow crops for animals rather than humans, with beef needing an absurd amount[0] yet is has always argued on for different research methods and money from sources that want to confused us[1].

To quote another study [2] on the issue.

>Agriculture accounts for 92% of the freshwater footprint of humanity; almost one third relates to animal products.
...
>In the western countries, the WF of meat can be reduced by changing consumption, requiring a transition in the present nutrition pattern and a reduction of food wastes. Obviously, the WF of the livestock sector is only one of the concerns to be taken into account. Other factors include animal welfare, food security, public health concerns and environmental issues other than water, like contribution to emission of greenhouse gases.

It took a while for me to come to grips that I needed to change food comsumption to only non-animal products. Way to many reasons. Maybe comments on threads like this can slowly change other people as well. We need compounding changes to really make a difference.

Yep, a lot of people haven't realized how insanely popular UFC has gotten.

It has a larger worldwide fanbase than baseball & NFL since every culture understands fighting (whereas a russian or chinese person probably doesn't know the rules of NFL or baseball).

Movie fight scenes seem a lot less entertaining when I can see a Jon Jones fight.

People are also learning a lot more about the art of fighting and because of that movie scenes just seem ridiculous.
Show HN: Decentralized timestamping using Ethereum (dApp)
A PoC implementation of decentralized timestamping in Solidity, deployed on Ethereum Mainnet.
The web app is made using Vue.js, Web3.js and Tailwind CSS.

Once you create a timestamp, you can embed a badge (see the Badge example), which points to your timestamped file (see File test URL). This might be useful for proving that some picture, concept, some file existed in a certain point in time on your project page. It might be useful as a form of defensive publication.

That's just how human institutions are. There are always bad actors, but as long as there are not too many of them, the honest majority keeps the system working. Meanwhile the bad actors have unfair advantages.

There is a good side to the academia, but you are less likely to experience it if you get into politics. Caring about frauds, grifters, and plagiarism is politics. You should make a conscious choice: do you care more about science as an ideal or about your own research. If you focus on your own research, you can seek like-minded people and ignore those who pursue status.

Of course, the academia is a risky career choice, and success is far from guaranteed. That's why it's important to know when to let go. You should learn to estimate what kind of career success you can expect, without wasting too many years in the process. Once you know that, you can determine if you would be content with that for the rest of your career, and make the choices accordingly.

I think the scientific consensus for cognition and brain size has been for a long time that the size matters much less than we previously thought. For instance, ravens/crows show remarkable problem solving skills and intelligence on par with much larger animals and their brains are extremely small.

Given how much meat we as a society consume, and how we treat animals generally, it makes sense that we'd collectively accept and yearn for a narrative that animals are dumb. I think science is steadily showing that this is not really the case.
Maybe not all pages are reachable from the root.
Actually, that's my mistake. The examples I was thinking of turned out to be one and the same: It was a California proposition originally titled the "California Marriage Protection Act." That was the one where a judge forced it to be renamed to "Eliminates Rights of Same-Sex Couples to Marry. Initiative Constitutional Amendment"

> "Within the Nones, however, atheists and agnostics are more likely to be politically and civically engaged, whereas those who responded that their religion is 'nothing in particular' are far less likely to vote."

> "Pew also found that, overall, Nones are less likely to volunteer in their local communities than religiously affiliated adults."

> "Most Nones believe in God or another higher power, but very few attend any kind of religious service."

I'm getting quite a different picture of these "Nones". Rather than being atheist or agnostic, they believe in God, but just don't care about any kind of group or group activities.

Almost like they have checked out from social public life.

This also connects with surveys about 25% of Gen Z (virtually the same percent as these Nones) are not having sex: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-08-03/young-ad...

31% of Gen Z live with parents: https://thehill.com/changing-america/respect/poverty/4405595...

There's also huge declines in people going out. (Although not the 25% that matches the other numbers.)

To me this all paints a picture of people who are just tired, depressed, don't care, etc.

I would very interested to know if these groups are all the same people, or if it's just a random 25% of any survey that doesn't care much.
I’m only gesturing at the overuse-absence of “someone took the hit” as the causative defect in the american approach here, not promoting HK-style frame doubling as a cure. The contrast is quite helpful for conveying an oft-unseen nuance that supports this post’s points about fight scenes.

Firefox also has been "chasing trends". Pocket, VPN, Relay, OS, and others. Maybe their conception of "trending" is different from Opera's one, and maybe more focused on what they understand of how a browser can be made more useful and the toolset around it. Or not. In any case, the trendy picks by Opera are shadier, and the next one can be harmful for most of their users.

You could say the same thing about violent scenes, or pretty much kind of scene.

they do nothing for the story. great, they had a fight. we get it. if i want to see violence, there's plenty of free snuff films out there. i'm watching a movie because i enjoy things like plots, dialog, and well acted scenes. i don't look for those things in snuff films, so why am i expected to be looking for snuff films in a movie? i have yet to see a fight scene that made me think it did anything for the movie.

Spending != to benefits actually received. LA, for example, spends billions on affordable housing schemes that are little more than fronts for lining the pockets of the allies of local politicians. Vienna, by contrast, spends far less and has a massive, well-maintained social housing scheme, in which something like a third of the population lives.

> Later, the detectives would look up all the recovered loot on Amazon and tally up its total value, which exceeded the $950 minimum required for a charge of felony grand theft in California. (The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office declined to file a felony charge and referred the case to the city attorney’s office, which filed a misdemeanor instead.)

This is something I don't understand. I thought the $950 limit was the limit by which a felony charge had to be filed. But apparently, there's prosecutorial discretion in filing these felony charges even when above the limit? This felt like the biggest demotivators for cops and detectives: they could respond to 911 calls and take someone into custody, and then calculate the value of the stolen goods to make sure it reaches $950, and then just no felony charges afterwards?
Boeing Reinstalled Panel That Later Blew Out of 737 MAX Jet
There’s a couple of high-end scalers for retro games that can apply a facsimile of various aperture grilles and shadow masks from popular consumer and professional CRTs.

In fact, the RetroTINK 4K will even use a HDR container to boost the brightness to offset the loss from drawing scanlines and other unlit areas over the image.

It’s a super cool effect and one of many signs how much a labour of love those things are, but it would never fool anyone into believing it was an actual CRT.

I don’t have any evidence to back it up, but I’ve often thought the “CRT look” is as much biological as it is physical, it’s almost like the phosphor glow and persistence and the mask overlaid on the image convinces the brain to start filling in detail.

You misread the article. They believe in God, they just are not interested in grouping.
