First of all, your arguments may be as valid as you like, but your insults and personal attacks, as far as I'm concerned, nullify your reasoning entirely. You can criticize my positions all you want, but I've never attacked you personally, whereas you have.

That said, the pattern in all my discussions is very clear: those who criticize nuclear power often pick a single metric to argue against it, defending this metric to the extreme while completely ignoring the overall complexity of the issue.

You are doing exactly the same thing, insisting that the number of workers required is somehow a definitive metric to demonstrate the inadequacy of nuclear power.

You are probably correct that the number of personnel needed to maintain a photovoltaic plant is lower. However, this alone proves nothing beyond that specific point.

If we aimed for a fully nuclear-powered economy, the numbers for electricity generation would indeed be what I've stated (between 1 and 0.7 people per MW). In addition, this number is hugely outsized for reasons of over-regulation, scalability, technology, etc. If nuclear power received at least one-tenth of the subsidies and from the flexibility of renewables, how would it rule out a landscape with new, less labor-intensive reactors? Most of the reactors in operation are very old, and technology changes come very late because of little investment and overregulation.

Regarding total solar energy generation, one must consider the entire cost of a smart grid, personnel for storage, etc. Additionally, solar panels have a much shorter lifespan compared to nuclear power plants, and we're dealing with vastly different volumes and quantities of materials (assuming we want to recycle every panel). Furthermore, the solar industry is significantly less transparent than the nuclear industry, including the number of people required for panel production and their working conditions. ( https://enduyghurforcedlabour.org/solar/ )

There are likely many other hidden costs that I haven't mentioned, which would further increase the prices and the number of required personnel. Therefore, if you want to continue debating on this basis, go ahead. However, I want to emphasize that even if renewables required more personnel than a nuclear power plant, the discussion would still be pointless for me. The number of people involved says very little about the technology itself or its future prospective.

And again, my point is not to choose nuclear over renewable. But rather why do people like you prefer to rule it out when the IPCC itself calls it necessary for decarbonization? I want to decarbonize in a diversified way, focus on all available technologies, do you?

Rejecting the premise: it's paranoid delusional madness to regard keeping communication channels to keep the nation somewhat secure from foreign attack & disinformation open as "working at the behest of the CIA." There should be communication between the CIA and major social networks, obviously.
>Rampant? Read the article before commenting, they are talking about 800 people in the whole of France.

800 is the figure given by google's attorney for people that would be affected by the block enforced by public DNS servers, not the total amount of "rampant piracy" that's going on.

Are they really recent vulns though?
I’m curious if your company asks for references when hiring people? I’d guess they do, which makes the policy unethical and hypocritical.
That’s what I am talking about too. Companies don’t allow any sort of references of former employees, positive or otherwise, and from any level of management. It’s too hard to police and much simpler to just not allow the practice. It’s frustrating from the employee and prospectus employer perspective, but I see why companies do this. Bad apples can be very time-consuming and expensive to deal with.
Someone might sue because (they think) a letter wasn’t effusive enough to get them a job they wanted, or because someone else got a letter and they didn’t.
UK is kind of special. On paper, yes, there’s GDPR. In fact the most annoying people on this planet are UK recruiters using American data mining services. To the point where I have now a mental block for UK country code on business matters. Would I trust my data to an UK business? I‘m not sure.
AFAIK regular soap, used correctly, is enough in most cases.

The Raspberry Pi 5 Is No Match for a Tini-Mini-Micro PC
The impression at Matsumoto is not currently in view according to their website.

The prints can't be on display permanently as they fade under light, so they only on view for a few months and then are generally rested for about 4 years.

Last year Matsumoto loaned their impression to Nagano, so it'll be a while until it's on view again.
I think these firms are all compromised. Poisoning dns is such a bad idea.
Language Support for Generic Programming: Genericity as a Core Design Goal(2022)
Not to be too pedantic, but ALJs are technically Article I judges (or more precisely judges over Article I tribunals). The Constitution lists two different sources of judicial power, the first in Article I section 8 and the second in Article III. Article III courts have judges with life tenure, protection of salaries and are subject to review only by other Article III appeals courts including the Supreme Court. Article I courts have judges with fixed terms of office, and Congress can cut their salaries. All Article I courts are subject to review by Article III courts.

There's an open controversy about how much deference the Article I courts in administrative agencies are owed by Article III courts, arising mostly from Chevron v NRDC. That decision requires Article III courts to defer to Article I courts' interpretations of their statutes and even their administrative rules except in extreme circumstances. Several justices on the Supreme Court find Chevron deference problematic, but it currently is the law of the land.
List voting might work as an alternative to single member districts. You vote for your favorite party, and they are allocated a proportion of the total seats.

You lose the ability to know your local candidate, but how many people really do these days? It's what we set up in Iraq, but we don't do it ourselves.

It doesn't solve the problem that there is still exactly one chief executive. You can try making that a committee but that has other downsides.
Indeed. I'm reminded of the time a childhood friend essentially discovered the inverted spectrum argument[1]. That is, we can't know if my qualia when perceiving the color red doesn't match yours of the color blue.

We were unfortunately young and in poor company, so the idea didn't receive the appropriate attention.

EU companies are the worst, I am from EU, born and raised. They say "The workforce needs to be flexible and competitive with people from all over the world" but then when they have to sell they break balls with the "We're an EU company", hell to them, I am going to pick the most competitive for me regardless of where they are
You were very lucky to see such an exhibition!
Isn’t it actually exactly the same? The website doesn’t have to comply (and many don’t), but if they want to do business in the EU, they have to. How is that different?
It's not allowed because of exactly what you just said.
These all appear to be hosting-type services. Is there a similar list that's more consumer-oriented? Or are there zero alternative social network platforms?
>* Domestic abuse is the victim's fault because they shouldn't have made their partner angry. * The Chinese GFW is the fault of the people who criticized the government. They shouldn't criticize the government. * Israel indiscriminately bombing Gaza is the fault of the Gazans who fought back the last time Israel did that. * The Holocaust is the Jews' fault for not fleeing the country sooner.

Except in all those cases, you can vaguely make the case that the "victims" were in the right (eg. the right to be not physically assaulted). It's far more questionable to claim that people have the right to free live sports streaming.
Would it really be that bad? If the devices were well behaved (ie. not too noisy, no gratuitous ARP etc) and the application could assume that most of the time either zero or no devices will be communicating, would it be that bad?

This is something I might test myself. I have a couple of audio devices that will never be both "active" at the same time. In my current layout I need to run either two cables or just another switch and it just seems a waste. I wonder if I can buy daisy chained cable so I don't have to make one...

Okay, but if a person has already decided that they "want" a particular product (probably due to the other effects you describe), to the point that they have gone to an e-commerce website and added the product to their shopping cart — but they haven't decided to buy it at that moment, i.e. haven't checked that cart out yet, even though they've come back to the site several times since then to check on both ongoing sales, and the status of that cart... then what aspect of consumer psychology make them ultimately decide at some point to check out the cart with the item in it? And alternately, what is it that makes them ultimately decide to abandon the cart / remove the item from the cart?

FOMO is a good explanation for this, I think. Personally, there'll be times when the only reason I'm buying something now — rather than postponing the purchase indefinitely — is that if I don't, it's going to be out-of-stock for who-knows-how-long. My opportunity to choose to buy it is going to be taken away, and I literally fear missing out on the ability to make the purchase. (See Amazon's "only N left" note under some items.)

Also, sometimes, the item will suddenly go out-of-stock without any clear date for resupply — leaving me sad that I "dallied" on my choice to buy it and so did "miss out." If such an item comes back in stock, I'll usually immediately buy it, because I now realize I was taking its continued availability for granted, but no longer can — and so "need" to get it before it goes out-of-stock again.
Bacteria can be incredibly nasty but I would guess they are less likely to cause a pandemic than viruses.
I think if they had a better web page interface, then a lot more people would be able to make use of the site.

Not a fan of categorizing stuff as good or bad.

But yes, countries should have control over their borders, both physical and digital.
I don’t want to be exclusively negative but I have to say that it seems like you both have no idea how to work together.

Since saying the above, while obvious, is not helpful so I would suggest that you both sit together for however long it takes and figure out a framework you both can agree and stick to to solve differences as well as who is the owner of each individual process that will be required.

If you can’t make that work now, while there’s really nothing going on, can you imagine when (if) something is really on the line?

Take that chance and also figure out what is the exit criteria. What do you do when one of you want to get out of the venture?

Never enter into any sort of agreement without knowing how do you get out. It’s much easier to figure those things out now than when you are at a point of wanting to get out.
The Supremes have been on a tear vs administrative judges, so expect this to get swatted down. There are other agencies in the non-compete mix that are better suited to make these sorts of policy decisions. This court would rather have agencies and politicians do their jobs when it comes to this stuff.
Why is it different?

In case folks don’t know about the “El Cheapo Special” - you can make very respectable 2GHz passive scope probes with 150ps rise times out of RG-174 coax cable and 1k resistors.

Clip the cable in half, solder the core to the 1k resistor, and the other end of the 1k resistor to the signal you want to probe.

Solder the shield braid to board GND.

50ohm terminate your scope, set probe amplification to 20x, and voila!

Excellent tip recommended both by Paul Horowitz (Art of Electronics) and Howard Johnson (High Speed Digital Design). Works like a charm!
Incompetence isn’t a root cause though. You have to go deeper… why were the people involved in the project incompetent?

If you find a project was held back by infighting, siloed groups, major shifts in direction or key people leaving, kindness will help with all of these things.

The reality is, people working as individuals, no matter how competent those individuals are, can only accomplish things within the scope of a single person. There are some things like that, but there are many things that are not. To accomplish any of those things, people need to work together, in a complementary way, toward a common goal. That just won’t happen if they don’t get along. Social competence can become just as important as technical competence. Kindness is part of that.
You’re a different person than the OP…
That’s awful but why is the onus on random sys admins around the world to deal with this correctly and not the government hosting the problem entities?

it's effectively the same, small banks just shove you out of the building and refuse to open a bank account for you if FATCA applies to you, their compliance is through just not accepting US tax payers.

This is a real issue that leaves US citizens only able to open accounts at bigger banks (with shittier services but enough budget to hire a FATCA compliance department)

C is enjoyable to write with although if others rely on your code, safety should have a higher priority.

The one thing I could never enjoy in C after getting used to languages like php and python is string handling. It isn't just dangerous but very tedious, complex and lacking elegance. Lack of a native string type and string operators really sucks.

I like being able to do "hello "+"world".

Another pro the author didn't mention is how my crapy code from 10yrs ago still works today. Can't say that about rust, go, python or most modern languages. It really sucks how "planned obsolecence" has crept it's way into programming languages.

There's no valid reason for it though. Hand me a letter of recommendation and if I don't like it, I simply won't share it with the next employer. If I'm the one who has the decision to share the recommendation, the responsibility should be on me.
Is ther a difference between "electromagnetic power" and "thermal power" here? If a panel is not connected, there is no conversion and the surface is warmed - just like any other surface exposed to the sun gets warmed.

PV panels are just like charged capacitor or a chemical battery with no loads: just holding unused potential differences with no damage to the unit.

Different regions of the body, and different uses. Around the anus there's bacteria in a nice warm moist environment to go to town. I don't open doors with my asshole, so I'm happy with enough wipes to get any excess poop off, followed by a spray from a cheap cold-water bidet (or diaper sprayer, left over from when our child was in cloth diapers), followed by a wipe for drying.

I did have a previous workplace, though, where they couldn't stop yapping about the bus factor and I disliked that phrase because it kept reminding me that one day I die and am wasting one more hour of my living days in a pointless retrospective that will have no positive effect on anything.
Well, before everybody got sensitive I'd be OK with that too. It's not even very different from real world teasing talk and examples that were used by actual dev teams before the cult of HR grew.

And of course it's a strawman exaggerated version of the common "hit by a bus" idiom.

I'm very opposed to non-competes except in specific scenarios like selling a business (and non-solicitation agreements often make sense). However, I'm also very skeptical of the argument that CA's success in certain industries is remotely the result of unenforceable non-competes.

There often seems to be an assumption that non-competes are the norm everywhere else and, while they certainly exist (and some firms/industries are notorious for enforcing them) that just isn't the case anything like universally in my experience.
That's like asking why don't we expect burglars to not burgle, they won't, but that doesn't mean walling off a whole neighborhood is the solution either.
Totally agreed. Such a fan of Go for this. It obviates just about any reason to use docker. You compile a single binary, for any platform from any platform, and just… copy it onto a server.

Hell there’s even first class support to compile assets into it if you wanna throw your whole site into the binary, or many other use cases that would otherwise make docker nice.

Damn I miss the startup that was a Go build and deploy to 3 static VMs over my current company’s dozens of microservices + ecs + kafka + aurora postgres.

Startup A had the servers all sitting around at 2% cpu all day, trivially scalable by adding more vms. No downtime over 3 years.

Startup B had 10x the users, but an elaborate docker + ecs + dozens of microservices (that could have just been libraries, avoiding all that complexity) + aurora postgres. Downtime all the time. Most recent was so hard to detect: a db server running fine at 40% load and our application around the same, yet db timeouts left and right so considered an official outage. Aws had throttled the network throughout between the DB and App with no warning! We even had an AWS support person on the call and took them 2 hours to figure it out.
If it gets that bad, wash the bidet afterwards.
