What are you talking about?

public key cryptography is well understood and used everywhere: HTTPS, SSH, Signal, etc.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography

In postgres specifically: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/ssl-tcp.html and https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/runtime-config-connection...

You can enforce TLSv1.3 on all network connections using `ssl_min_protocol_version`(postgres.conf) and `hostssl`(in pg_hba.conf)

This puts you ahead of most web servers which often still allow TLSv1.1.

You can make Postgres secure or not, your call. Just like with everything else.
Those "disruptions" occured because of political action.

The disruptions in Texas are because their power grid and associated infrastructure is shite.

Entirely different things.
As some with contact to the the nuclear industry:

These old plants are ridden with hidden costs, and I would bet all of my money no one at Microsoft is aware of the scale of this. I'm not talking "hidden costs" like you didn't do your homework. I'm talking hidden costs like you need to be on the inside, on the ground, to know about. Hidden costs like "everyone subtly nods but doesn't say it out loud" kind of hidden costs.

The NRC has beyond suffocating regulation for nuclear energy. This is maybe a good thing in some regards. But let me put it this way:

Imagine you bought a car from 1975 and could _only_ put in original parts. Need a new battery? Better find out how to get a factory one from 1975. Can't get one from 1975? Be prepared to pay millions, perhaps tens of millions, for a mountain of testing and certification for a new $100 part that is still just an off the shelf battery.

No.

An energy mix is the answer.

One of the parts that is mixed in, can be nuclear. Probably should be. But always a small part of the mix. Nuclear is slow: slow to power up, slow to adjust to demand or supply from others in the mix. And extremely slow to build.

Nuclear plants that already run, often take days, some even weeks to adjust significant: so if on monday the wind stops blowing, on tuesday it gets cloudy, and on tuesday afternoon everyone needs to charge their EV or fire up the AC, it'll often take until next week friday before a nuclear plant can deliver this. Modern plants are faster, and theres many "hacks" where energy is blown out (wasted) for short peaks down, or where there's always 10% wasted for short peaks up.

So nuclear needs innovation. But most of all, needs to be "just a piece of the puzzle" and never the only piece.

Nuclear fission, and other of this "innovation" isn't there. That's the other slow part of nuclear. Even if its production ready today, that plant won't run for another decade, often 20+ years (except china, which tells you the reason why it's so rediculous slow: NIMBY, regulations, democracy)

So, sorry, aside from all the other (fictive) problems with nuclear (waste, risk etc), nuclear has a serious problem of being just too damn slow to solve *todays* energy crisis on its own.

Edit: Source, I've interned in power plants. A comparable coal plant, took one and a half month to power up from zero to producing electricity: which happened every 5 years for revision and three months to power down. It could adjust 10% in a few hours, but everything over 30% needed week(s) of planning ahead. I made those plannings.
I guess it depends on your experiences.

My leftist friends are very much involved in co-ops and in general what you say it's true.

However, when we talk about the actual socialism, that is the political system in Eastern Europe from 1945 until 1989, the parent is right - the socialists, and their older brothers communists, wanted your property and in general non-part initiatives were either frowned upon or strictly forbidden.

Zzz - facts claimed in article fail to support headline.

In any vaguely-modern military, if you have both a war going, and a military HQ responsible for some quiet & lightly-manned sector of the front, then the mostly-idle officers in that HQ will get busy churning out "what if the enemy attack our sector?" warnings and plans and paperwork. Those who can't do that, or otherwise make themselves look very busy and needed - well, their records will be marked "not suitable for staff or higher command". And they'll soon be transferred to new units - in the thick of the fighting, where replacements are needed for all the officers who've recently been wounded or killed.

(Yes, the article mentions a bunch of more-specific warnings which that sector's HQ received. But pessimistic and paranoid thinking are the day jobs of plenty of Russian intel officers who are further up the chain of command. And trying to divert scarce Russian forces and attention to sectors which won't be attacked is the day job of plenty of Ukrainian officers who are similarly placed in their side's chain of command.)

This has happened to me so many times with both flights and hotels. Now I very rarely book through third parties (only search) unless the discounted rate is compelling enough.

It just happened to me 2 weeks ago. I booked a resort in Cancun through Chase Travel at a heavily-discounted rate and made an error in booking, for one person versus needing two. Chase said they couldn't change it and to call the resort, their middle agency said they couldn't change it, and the resort said they couldn't change it and to call the agent! It eventually got fixed after hours of calling and essentially pleading.

I remember thinking the same thing as a kid reading C&D magazines at the doctor's office. I think they showed up in PopSci a few times too.

"wait, this is allowed? Cool!"
The next line specifies:

> typically this will be a small airport in Alaska or Canada to another small airport in Africa or Indonesia

It's still mind blowing to me. Surely any Alaskan airport would be within 5 hops of Anchorage (or not have scheduled flights at all, fine, but that can't be the case here), likewise surely any Indonesian airport is within 5 hops of Jakarta, and Anchorage-Jakarta can certainly be done in 3 hops in a multitude of ways. But one of those assumptions is wrong by 7 hops!

There aren't even that many airports to consider, the same presentation gives 4000 as the number included in the analysis.

Maybe the graph topology is something like a series of tiny airports that each only connect to the next airport in the series, probably by the same flight that makes multiple stops (not unknown in island hopping, and maybe then in Alaska/Canada too). So you don't really board 20 planes but you do require 20 takeoffs and landings.

Many areas of the USA have population densities entirely comparable with large parts of Europe. The upper-central midwest (eastern MN, WI, IL, IA) is a good example - it compares favorably to most of France or Germany.

This is another example of how it is almost always a mistake to use a unitary description of anything when it comes to the USA. Yes, certainly where I live (New Mexico), population density is extremely low and long-haul rail transportation likely makes little sense. But talk about that as if it applies to "the united states" is a category error.
AMD indicated from the beginning they wanted it to become the universal API.

Opening stuff up formally also takes time. So it all was going towards Vulkan in one form or another and no one was forcing MS to push DX12 NIH while this was happening.

And counter to your point, despite Mantle being "proprietary", MS directly used it to create DX12 (same as Vulkan used it), so AMD clearly didn't have any complaints about that.

> Their wares sometimes do no harm, but it's the exception.

I disagree with that to a very extreme degree (also it's a very silly thing to say unless you don't see any value in computers, smartphones, planes, automobiles, washing machines, fridges and other appliances).

The things you listed are generally the exceptions. Also the question is whether society/people benefited from VW, Exxon, DuPont etc. to such an extent that it outweighed all of those things?

Of course it's relative, if we value access to cheap and effective transportation, synthetic clothing, various plastic products etc. more than we care about all the negative externalities that's what we get... It's all down to incentives, corporations are inherently neither good nor evil.

> to earn more money. The products we get are side effects of it.

I agree that's true on the whole. But that's why humans do anything at all (replace money with other tangible or intangible benefits). Absolute altruism doesn't scale and isn't in any way sustainable.

I very rarely follow links to YouTube, mostly because when I'm reading HN, I'm not usually in a situation where video is a thing that I can do.

Also, for technical or involved topics, video is one the worst ways for me to take in information (the worst is lectures/presentations), so even when I can realistically watch videos linked from here, I tend not to. I just move on to the next story instead.

Another huge factor is that YouTube links are often provided without any explanatory text, so I have no way of knowing if the video covers something that I'm really interested in. Submitters can fix that problem, though, by including a blurb describing the video.
Certainly one should take TFA with a pinch of salt rather than at face value. It is incredibly partisan.
These weren't labeled as "Israeli products". They were labeled as being made in China.

You could ban Israeli products as punishment. But in doing so you'd leave yourself more open to being blown up, not less, because the ones with bombs in them will be labeled as anybody except Israel.

The "capabilities" aren't in manufacturing, but in supply-chain hacking.

Strictly, they can't even prove that it was Israel behind it, though there isn't really any doubt. That's how good their supply-chain hacking is: as least thus far, nobody has been able to trace it back to them.

Not the same scenario. First, France came through this just fine.

Second, the could have kept those plants operating and taken a more piecemeal approach to fixing the cracks. They shouldn't have, and didn't, because you really want that triple or quadruple redundancy in your cooling systems, but they could have if push had come to shove, the plants were still operational.

But since there was plenty of capacity available, they could afford to take those plants offline and do the checks and repairs all at once.

Intermittent renewables afford you no such optionality.

“It’s also worth remembering that tax is simply a way of destroying the tokens of resource allocation (money)”

The government does not destroy money collected from taxes. It uses the money to pay for stuff, at which point the money is back in the regular economy and much of it ends up in back in assets, just owned by a different person than the one who was taxed.

How does taxation destroy money?
This is common. Most online retailers don't have the means to recover and remediate used mattresses (if it's even legal). Most are essentially just branded drop-shipping companies hocking products manufactured in Asia (often from the same factories, with minor differences between "models"). If you have the money to purchase the mattress initially, then you can just keep doing 90-day trials until you get one that the seller asks you to dispose of yourself when you try to return it. Bam, free mattress. Manufacturers and retailers can afford to do this because the markup on materials+labor+shipping is insane.

I'm surprised that people haven't caught on yet. Maybe something to do with the nature of the purchase. In a better world, even a "luxury" mattress would cost a couple hundred bucks, at most, but then be extremely difficult to return.

I hate that the AI pundits have succeeded in popularizing the notion of "hallucination", anthropomorphizing these balls of statistics into something that seems like it's actually in some sort of deep thought process akin to a person's mind.

No, it's not "hallucinating". It's not lying, or making things up, or anything like that either. It's spitting out data according to what triggers the underlying weights. If this were a regular JSON API endpoint, you wouldn't say the API is hallucinating, you'd say "This API is shit" because it's broken.

Fun fact: sometimes Google Flights will show a (lower) fare on United that doesn't exist on United's own site. But if you click though to United from Google, it magically now does exist, and can be ticketed. I don't know if this happens with other airlines (I look for and book mostly United).

a) it hasn't always been bad (although it has always been a right-wing punching-bag); b) it has the potential to be a lot better than it currently is; c) a lot of the people actually in it care desperately about seeing that happen, and because of its size that's a surprising proportion of the population.

Yes you can, but that's not why Texas has blackouts. The UK has expensive electricity, imports a lot, but on what planet is it "energy starved"?
How about they migrate they easy 98% of data and ignore the hard, large, expensive, etc 2%? Does that sound preposterous?

very nice app. just the front-end browser component alone is super-slick.
but expecting users to bring their data to your platform is a barrier to adoption.
This event happened in 2022. this is the only year since 1995 where nuclear production fell below 300TWh (278TWh in 2022 vs 360 in 2021 and 320 in 2023).

These cracks are not the only factor for the poor performance on nuclear in 2022 : several reactors had to do their 10-year maintenance (grand carénage), which had been delayed because of the pandemic.

It's hard to extrapolate reliability issues from an event that happened once in 30 years.
