> For nuclear power the public is on the hook for cleanup fees from hundreds of billions to trillions of dollars and the large scale accidents we have seen caused hundreds of thousands to get evacuated.

How much expense is justified for each life (or year of life) saved from radiation exposure by scraping up the soil and bagging it? Can we justify the evacuation of elderly from close to Fukushima on the grounds that in 20 years time they will have an elevated risk of cancer? How is that balanced with deaths caused by the process of relocation? What about the human cost of an energy shortage caused by shutting down the nuclear power stations in Japan?

The same goes for chemical cleanup (heavy metal poisoning, pesticides, dioxins, PFAs, fly-ash, asbestos).

To make the cleanup decisions we need some notion of tradeoff between cost and benefit. Otherwise we'll end up in a situation where an indeterminate amount of money can be spent on something with no benefit (other than achieving something a politician willed to happen).

Sorry, no offence, but you sound like those EA execs wearing expensive suits and never played a single video game in their entire life. There’s a great documentary on how Half Life was made.

Maybe the protocol could have arbitration built in? If one was clever you could actually have the front of the packet set a priority header, and build the collision detection/avoidance right into the header.

Multiple parties communicate at the same time? Lower number priority electrically could pull the voltage low, dominating the transmission.

That way, priority messages always get through with no overhead or central communication required.

I’ve been working on https://console.wut.dev as an alternative, simpler AWS console. Given that AWS has recently started embedding Q (their AI tool) into their UI, I’ll likely keep Wut AI-free.

That being said, there are a few features I’ve been thinking of where AI could theoretically make sense (like summarizing recent changes to cloud resources from CloudTrail logs) but if I build that, I’m going to focus on the feature/use case and not try to just “jam AI into it.”

Were I live and work (IT and consulting in central south-east Norway) it has been the year of the Linux Desktop on and off since 2009.

That was the first time I worked full time at a place that deployed Linux for everyone and everything that didn't have a verified reason for needing Windows.

I think we had one 3rd party trading software running on a Windows machine and maybe the CEO and someone in accounting got Windows.

Everyone else was upgraded to Linux and it worked beatifully. It was my job to support the sales department with desktop related issues and it was absolutely no problem to do it while also being a productive developer.

Since then I have not worked on a place that required Linux, but I think most of the places I have worked on since has had Linux as an option as long as you supported it yourself, and some places also have been very active writing how-tos and working with me to troubleshoot issues that were related to Linux, since many of them were also Linux users.

At the moment I use Mac, but at my current job I'm also allowed to use Linux.

> Closing dupes is a feature not a bug

Yes, but it's implemented in a user-hostile manner that kills engagement and therefore retention.

A friendlier implementation imo, would be for the asker to be shown the duplicated answer(s) inline under their question, with a note that it's a dupe and a link to the original question(s). That leaves them with a vastly different experience, and regular users can still continue to see it as just closed. Kinda like shadow banning, but healthier.

In this particular case, the powerplant was designed to withstand a certain height of tsunami and this tsunami was larger, breached the sea wall and flooded the generators.

This entire hand-wringing about how no-one should die from nuclear feel disingenuous. We could have had zero-carbon grid 50 years ago, in the 70’s just like France. Renewables weren’t ready at the time.

Now millions of people will be displaced or dead by climate change and that could have been prevented.

Generally speaking, we have all kind of LARPs in the sword-and-sorcery scene

- battle LARPS - no story, just hit the participants belonging to the other faction, preferably in formations. This ranges from smug reenactment-quality groups, like Warhammer Fantasy fans in Europe, to groups that retain fantasy-themed clothing the way sports such as tennis have a specific proper attire, like Belegarth society in USA.

- (story-rich) LARPS - these originated with to "let's play D&D but in real life" and some of them even kept the trappings of the original, such as "levels" or "character classes"; some of them drop most of the gamey aspects, becoming more or less like those "chamber" LARPs mentioned by the OP (only in a fantasy setting; though, a Dune LARP could be a thinly-veiled middle-east, for all I know)
I use Org-mode because it is simple *and* capable - still just plain text, synced over iCloud, workflow can be as complex or as simple as I need it.

On the other side, I have some years of GTD practice and know, that tools themself matter little for productivity. I have some minimal feature-set I expect to be there, like some kind of daily outline and priorities and I don't care about the rest. Omnifocus is nice, but I barely use it on mobile devices, beorg is sufficent. Know you needs and don't go more complex than that.

Hundreds of millions of entries of data input by a large group of people across a wide region will always have errors and inconsistencies. This is true of data related to COVID-related deaths, homicides, car accidents, daycare enrollment rates, and everything in between.

Showing that individual data points are inconsistent or wrong does not by itself indicate that conclusions gleaned from a data set as a whole are incorrect.

Read the accounts from funeral home staff some time. We were very literally running out of places to put the actual, physical bodies. It turns out when you have a mortuary system that’s set up to process a reasonably consistent and predictable number of deceased humans, adding an sudden, unexpected, and sustained additional load of 10–15% (with spikes up to 33% and 45%) system stretches it beyond its limit.

What experiment? Unlike medicine, vaccines use the body's own mechanism just the way the body itself uses it. By exposing the body to something potentially dangerous, the only difference to "natural" infection is that in the latter case the body will take damage, sometimes incurable damage, before figuring out which proteins belong to the enemy. Vaccines do the same just without, or with way less risk of damage.

Two things are both true:

- sex work is against Instagram TOS and they take active efforts to ban people doing it, including design features such as limiting people to exactly one offsite link per account which may not be to onlyfans

- because that's where the audience is and advertising there is effective, there's an entire industry in working out how to promote sex work on Instagram without getting banned

=> Insta ends up as part of the sales funnel despite actively trying not to be. See also Twitch. There is of course no evidence of them intentionally onboarding people into this, it's an emergent feature of being a site that posts images. Then have to censor aggressively, and even then sex work exists at a sort of "censorship shoreline".

On the other hand, Reddit and Twitter have never really cared, and only with some campaigning effort have they been made to censor nonconsensual intimate images. Twitter made its pornbot problem worse by selling bluetick promotion.
In 1939 Einstein sent a letter to Roosevelt, warning him that if Germany were to be able to build a nuke before the US, the consequences would be catastrophic.

We're in a similar situation now, it seems.

My problem with SO (does not affect other Stack Exchange sites) is that the more experience I gain in programming, the more I find more efficient ways to solve my problem (read the spec/source code), therefore less use cases I have for SO.

Additionally, isn't the goal of a site like SO is to finally answer every programming question? It is not an insurmountable task if you disallow opinionated questions and be strict about duplicates.

I feel like it serves its purpose well and will be a valuable resource for years to come.

- Updated only on startup or compile of application

Looks nice, but I would prefer true minimalism. That is, something similar, but without necessaty to use additional 500-line CSS (God! Please, kill this format in the most painful way!) and other a d d i t i o n a l stuff that is used to get a minimalistic look-and-feel.

The drawback is that it generally only helps the one question asker, and that answers only reflect who happened to be present synchronously and what they thought at that moment. Discord content is ephemeral and not discoverable, and tends to consist of reflexive rather than well-considered and thought-through answers.

The value of public forums is that their content appears in public searches, can be publicly linked to, and that they facilitate asynchronous, longer-form and longer-term discourse.

> Closing dupes is a feature not a bug

Closing actual dupes? yes. Closing as "dupe" questions that sound similar to other questions, that's a massive bug, and happens if "close all dupes" is a major goal for people, over "ensure I understand the question and the question I think it's a a dupe of" (which can be quite hard and specific!), the overall context (yes, the question was answered in 2009 with "use jQuery". No, that's not the answer in 2024, but there is no process to "re-open" a question where the state of the art has changed), ...
Yep, a random one, and one where a) you take damage before the body figures it out, and b) it's pretty random which protein the immune system manages to identify (basically: The first one which identifies the virus), which may as well be one which changes widely so that even if you get immunity to your current infection you may not be immune to the variant someone else harbors. Whereas vaccines try to expose the body to the most stable proteins, for longer protection.
Let's talk about it in a hundred years when we struggle to grow food and have to deal with hundred millions/billions of climate refugees.

You don't need 8b deaths to see we're clearly not on a positive trajectory, ocean acidification, wild weather patterns, climate feedback loops, famines, &c. will be problems we have to tackle by the end of the century and will absolutely destroy our capabilities to develop.

This makes sense, because perhaps the world's most important email client that still costs money to buy (Outlook) used the terms SSL and TLS like that for about a decade. These days the toggle says "SSL/TLS" versus "STARTTLS", I believe, or they may have even dropped the toggle completely to just auto-detect the protocol based on the port number.

There’s a strong argument that checklists are the opposite of what you want. In your example if I give you a list of ports to close, you might close those ports and leave all others open, and you would be “compliant” but still in danger.

You really need better defaults (“all ports start closed”) and a culture of strong justification for any changes from the known safe defaults.

This is of course at odds with convenience so it probably won’t happen.
