> On the other hand nuclear was just 6% of the energy mix in its last year.

And coal is 25-30% currently.

If nuclear was higher, how much lower could have coal have been? How much lower could have emissions be without coal?
Some thoughts from a former schoolteacher.

1. Teachers have exactly no time for evaluating this sort of thing. Your landing page is cluttered with aspirational bullshit about how amazing it is. Get rid of that and tell me exactly what it does. Also it made my laptop fans spin up and it stuttered on scrolling, which is not good.

2. You use the word school, but this word has different meanings. In America, it means any educational institution. In the English-speaking world, school refers specifically to an institution that teaches children, whereas university and college are used for institutions that teach adults. Institutions that teach children have vastly different administrative needs to those that teach adults; it is crucial that you disambiguate which type of institution you are targeting.

3. Your roadmap indicates 'Financial Aid Automation'. Which financial aid systems do you support?

4. Lesson Analytics. Review detailed analytics for lessons, including metrics such as student engagement, completion rates, and performance trends. Is this platform specifically for online learning? You haven't stated this anywhere.

5. Educational institutions already have sophisticated Student Management Systems. Do you integrate with these? If so, which ones? Or do teachers have to manually add students to their courses?

6. I can't see anything here that hasn't been available for more than a decade in several well-regarded competitors. What's your unique selling point?
I think there's still significant regulatory hurdles to overcome before it's just a flick of the switch.

I haven't ridden in a Tesla FSD. Have you ridden in a Waymo? It seems tough to compare where they're "at" without having experienced both.

I also wonder how much Waymo will have improved in the next 1-3 years. This whole field seems like the sort of thing where improvements come more rapidly as more data is acquired and data is acquired more rapidly the more vehicles come online. I could easily see a situation where Waymo masters their process and expands to hundreds of thousands of vehicles in a short period of time.

Also, while I think I do believe in the ability to do FSD well with just cameras, I wonder if there will be fringe safety benefits to using accompanying lidar that will end up winning over public perception. People seem very interested in the ability for cars to do driving more safely than humans. I feel like this conflicts, mildly, with the desire to do FSD with pure vision on the premise that humans do it with pure vision. It's a true premise, but I'm not sure it's especially marketable.

While that covers only the second half of 2023, the prices since then have come down significantly.

Germany was never cheap, it was and is still in the top 5. What you also need to consider in those charts, what is the average salary. While it is comparable to Italy, take a closer look to Hungary how expansive it is there.

They just need to accept bootstrap like the rest of us and move on getting things done.
I'm happy to discuss this topic and to clarify it.

For me the 'package manager' aspects are more than the templating and having a zip file. For me it is more what apt etc. do

So using helm and its remote repositories, using the helm cli etc.

But we use kubeapps or ArgoCD to install the helm packages and download all helm charts before we deploy them (due to security requirements).

We leverage 100% IaC. Therefore we bootstrap ArgoCD and than install everything through ArgoCD. Only helm charts for our customers/collegues are installed through kubeapps.

I’d wager that–in the context of web apps–over time there have been many more (or more readily exploitable) arbitrary file read/directory traversal/file inclusion vulnerabilities than remote code execution ones, so the preference for having secrets in memory as env vars may stem from that. You’re also probably not reading from /proc/self/mem without code execution either.

Then, they should not have gotten rid of Nuclear because it's way more efficient than Wind and Solar. No need to give up arable land either to put in giant solar and wind farms.
> please re-read HN guidelines

OK. "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize."

Which is not what you're doing when you reduce the question to saying one particular word is the issue rather than only an example of blindly ignoring context. (Which is not even the case here since we're now offended by niggle, niggardly, niggard and 那个 and who knows what else). The issue is making the language less expressive at the instigation of 1) people who can't understand context and 2) sophomoric racists who take advantage of the people who can't understand context. Neither group should be rewarded by ceding the use of completely harmless and expressive words.
> Big part of the problem is arguably alienation.

I’ve heard said (don’t recall the specifics) Maslov’s hierarchy is upside down, that with sufficient meaning/purpose, many deprivations of lower elements can be handled.

Not certain if I’d go that far, esp at extremes, but that the pieces of the “hierarchy” are more like eqalish puzzle pieces than a stacked pyramid.
FICO considers hard inquiries (other than for credit card applications) within 45 days of each other to be just one hard inquiry.
There are a couple of dimensions to consider. It's like how in a control system you can get better performance by reducing the level of damping, but at the expense of reduced stability or oscillation. It's possible to have too much damping, but stability is crucial too.
>If governments were to parcel up markets and stop companies from crossing rather arbitrary dividing lines

There is absolutely no need to do this until you become Microsoft's size and no government has or likely ever will.

There was a lot more innovation enabled by the antitrust action against Microsoft in the early 2000s.
They are, and it's out there. You just have to phrase it as a ""cash discount " instead of a "credit card fee".
Nope, it is "problem" of past decisions. The past decision were, that 2022 should be the end date. All companies planed for that. You simply cannot change such decisions in an empty market. BTW the fuel is mostly coming from Kazakhstan. Does that ring a bell?

> I think the real problem is that MS can cross-subsidize its Office bundles.

Wouldn't this apply to any company that sells more than one product or service? Amazon uses Aws margins to subsidize a bunch, including r&d. A lot of biotech companies use profits from one drug to subsidize bad sales in another trying to break into the market.

> Kill the competition, raise the price. G-MAFIA/FAANG playbook

This is a solid business strategy, but it also falls prey to entrants back into the market when the large player raises its prices.
As far as I can tell they're not storing anything locally, they're pulling the data from Google Cloud Storage as you access it.

That said, a Wasm module doesn't have access to any storage facilities that the browser doesn't already expose (IndexedDB, OPFS, cookies, etc.) so even if it could be used by marketers, they would gain nothing by using DuckDB for that over just using the same underlying browser storage API.
There are many conspiracy theories besides the one you cited. A conspiracy that covid is not real or does not kill people very obviously undermines compliance with public health directives.

> The existence of this system then shows that A5 cannot be proven from A1, A2, A3, and A4.

It really doesn't. In general case given a system it is impossible to prove it is not self-contradictory.
I don’t doubt your experience and what you do at your org, yeah that falls into a bit of a different category since you use kubeapps.

I guess what I’m saying is: in my experience across many organizations, helm is indeed treated more like a package manager (like I described above). Your workplace seems to be in the minority.

Hope that made sense :)
> Germany increasing their ability to import electricity from their neighbouring european countries is good for their national security, because it reduces their dependence on fossil fuels from Russia

National security != Europe security. There is no European Military. It's a loose confederation each with their own borders. Its not like the US.
Not to mention the problem is pretty eminently solvable: let users flag a car as having an unacceptable condition. If that happens dispatch a new car and send the dirty car directly back to home base for cleaning.

The main problem with Uber/taxi quality is that the responsibility for cleanliness is on individual drivers, with widely varying results as a natural outcome. In fact a lot of problems with Ubers and taxis is downstream from the ownership and responsibility model.

The advantage of something like Waymo is that the responsibility is now on Waymo itself.

Worth noting that this is a problem in other lines of business: it's harder to ensure quality in franchises vs. stores operated directly by the brand. The more independent parties you have in the mix the more incentives become misaligned and the fewer levers you have available to ensure compliance to some standard.

This also isn't impossible to solve with human drivers, because ultimately this isn't a technological problem but an organizational one. Livery car services where drivers are employees (as opposed to independent owner-operators contractors) can centralize cleaning and training, and have more means to ensure compliance to a standard.

The "downside" of such a model is that there are many more laws to ensure you can't shovel your own expenses onto the employee.
I can't tell if THIS is satire...
I'm surprised I need to say this on HN, but you can't make inferences from this sort of uncontrolled choose-your-own-correlation-adventure in a whole population over time because thousands of things have changed in the population over that time.

If this were your epistemic standard, you'd have to accept all sorts of absurd or conflicting conclusions.
A good credit union will bring loans to the board of trustees and often approve them when no Bank will.

I think, age is truly just a number when it comes to pursuing passions and achieving goals.
It's hard for me to understand the goal of this comment. Nothing in it is incorrect. It's also not really a meaningful critique or response to the article. The article did not attempt to describe "uncertainty analysis for scientific experiments". It blatantly began by describing interval arithmetic and ended by justifying it as being meaningful in two contexts: IEEE floating point numbers and machining tolerances. Neither are experimental domains and both do have a meaningful inbuilt notion of interval that would be not be served by treating intervals as gaussians.
Missed in the history in the article is that John Warnock and Chuck Geschke planned to build a computer/printer turnkey publishing system when they left Xerox. PS was just a piece of it. It was after a Steve Jobs meeting that changed their focus.

There are apparently two things that particularly trigger phantom braking : bright sun and dark shadows on the road, for instance roads lined with trees are pretty bad; also flashing yellow traffic lights (normally means that you can simply proceed prudently, but apparently the Tesla system often interprets it as a "yellow about to turn red" signal and stops abruptly instead).
In the smartphone analogy, I'd relate Lucid to Sony, who makes some really awesome phones, but damn are they expensive. I've been wanting an Experia for years but can never convince myself the price is worth it over a OnePlus.
Yes, but I pay 34Cents for electricity in Germany, and my friend in Netherlands pays 24-26Cents. That's a huge deal.

Norway, Finland, Netherlands are still much cheaper and they are rich.
You seem to have a lot of hate for decentralized solutions. Even ones as simple as browsers providing an alternative to DNS and serving static files.

You don’t seem to care about protecting the user.

In a secure environment for the user why the f should the only option be to trust a server to choose which file to send based on the user-agent-reported ID?

The user-agent knows its own ID and can request the static file of its choice from the network. Vetted static Javascript running in the static website can do that.

You are so whipped by the Web’s inversion of power, that you can’t even seriously consider that alternative when writing your post.

You say it’s too hard for every person to vet static JS bundles and verify that they have no instructions to phone home or otherwise mess with you. Well, that’s why there are third party auditing companies, they can just sign and publicly post approvals of specific bundle hashes, that your browser can then check and make sure at least 2 reputable audits approved that version. Just like it does for chains of certificates when loading a site. In fact, you are currently sleepwalkinf into learned helplessness by AI models hosted by others, the same way.

At least the HN crowd drew the line at Web Environment Integrity by Google. It’s like you are an enthusiastic defender of mild slavery but oppose beating and killing the slaves.

more airlines are turning to controversial dynamic pricing tech, which prices fares and amenities variably based on a traveler’s willingness to pay for them.

taps AI to forecast the demand for particular airline routes and generate a dynamic price, which it shows to customers as they search a carrier’s website.

This feels unfair to me. In the past, I read articles that airfares can differ depending on what type of computer you were using (Mac or PC), and what city you were making the reservation from. Is the consumer response to only make reservations using a VPN?

Give me one price, a fair price, and offer the same to everyone else. If I want it, I buy it, but if I don't then I can not knowing that I'm not being unfairly gouged because of some perceived willingness to pay more.
Worth noting the comment is specifically about alienation, not which job is better across all axes.

One-Sentence Stories from People Who Have Built Better Habits
Yeah, I was surprised at how much it swings, but it's high enough it shouldn't matter (and easy enough to not use the cards for a month, let it rebound, then borrow whatever I need to borrow).

The report from my bank never says why. It does list factors that contribute to my score, but they're all "good" (low usage as % of available, all payments on time, etc). And never change.
Why?

Many Chinese EVs with self-driving features include Lidar and manage to undercut Tesla on price.

Solid-state Lidar has become so affordable that most cars include multiple ones, with the spinny ones seemingly on the way out.

Also assuming that Tesla will hold on to the mass-market self-driving monopoly for long is a bit of a stretch.
1) Looking at Germany's domestic electricity production without accounting for cross border trading is not meaningful. Germany is in the centre of the biggest international electricity grid in the world. There's an insane amount of electrical connectors between Germany and all of its neighbours. In particular, Germany has gone from being a net exporter of electricity to a net importer, particularly from France, Switzerland, Austria, and Sweden (through Denmark). Total electricity used in Germany has barely decreased.

2) Germany's electricity prices have come down and stabilized. They're actually lower than before the war now. No longer the highest in the EU, though there is still room for it to come down more, but it'll take time as more renewables, batteries, and long-distance grid connectors are built out.

The plan was to talk about renewables while buying Russian gas, since solar can't possibly cover the consumption.

It's not a coincidence that the German prime minister from the era when they decided to phase out nuclear now works for Gazprom and Rosneft. He literally said the West caused Russia to invade Georgia in 2008 (what a fucking moron).

In normal countries this is called treason. In Germany it's "developing trade relations".

(disclaimer: Nickel dev)

Thanks for the feedback. It sounded obvious to me, but I reckon that after looking at the website again, it's never spelled explicitly really on the front page.

Nickel is a domain-specific programming language for configuration. Similar to CUE, Dhall, Pkl, Jsonnet or the Nix language. With typing and validation capabilities built in. I like to think of it as "configuration templating done the right way". While it originally targeted Nix in particular, it's a standalone config language that can be used to generate YAML or the like for e.g. Terraform, Kubernetes or anything where using pure YAML (or ugly unplanned semi-programming languages disguising as YAML) isn't enough.

there is a market for collectible books. i have a signed first edition of book that retails for $1250. people pay that much for this particularly copy. that might seem crazy to you, and that's fine, but that doesn't stop me from trying to sell it to people who care about that.

physical copies of books are a perfect invention that hasn't changed since it was originally invented. you don't need electricity to read them. you just need sunlight. not to mention the physical beauty of some books.

most physical copies of books are near worthless, though.

I'm definitely no expert on the law in every state, but from the states I know of there are central appraisal districts in charge of real estate tax appraisals. They already have to keep track of ownership of properties and their tax assessments, might as well just expand their domain to also include lien registries as well.

I totally get it would be quite a mess and complication and issue with federalism to have the federal government have a single database, but at least having real databases somewhere that can be publicly queried would be a massive step forward towards making title insurance no longer a thing.
