> There is absolutely no requirement that the US has to get involved in every regional conflict in the world

It is not a requirement, it's the implementation. There is a good reason why the USA was called "world policeman".
Point 4

> ... seek immediate UN Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine ... if they should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used

This seems like the passage which would cover it. The UN is able to authorize use of force by member states against the aggressor. Though it looks like it hasn't done that - probably because of Russia's permanent position on the UN Security Council which would veto any such measures.
Then impose punishment for doing so. Parenting is hard, and not called "being your kid's best friend" for a reason.

And mind, I'm not against using legislation to cut down on the exploitive and addiction ridden field of UX. I grew up participating in trying to bridge the world of library science and organizing information for quick recall of Web 1.0 and the hell that became web 2.0 when SEO became big, and people realized there was a buck to be made off looking to monetize eye space.

The problem isn't at the root parents. It's greed, advertisers, and marketing. But unfortunately it's an Us v. Them to the point where current parents have to focus on eauipping kids to resist the exploitive tendencies current web experiences are built around.
How many people died at the Fukushima disaster?

As one of the worst Nuclear accidents in history (caused by one of the largest earthquakes to hit Japan along with a tsunami), an awfully small amount of people died.

If anything, Fukushima shows how safe Nuclear actually is.
Look at the hardware first:

The hardware in the Ceph test is only capable of max 1.7TiB/s traffic (optimally without any overhead whatsoever).

I also assume that the batch size (block size) is different enough that this alone would make a big difference.
Water-cooled reactors are the ones that are vulnerable to meltdown, but they're not the only way to do Nuclear.
Sure, but this is HN, and we get a lot of The Case For Nuclear Power articles coming through, and startups building micro reactors that everyone thinks are very cool- me too, honestly- but I think that the case against gets given short shrift, or can turned into a strawman.

The consequences of a nuclear incident are very high, and can be more or less permanent for an area. It's a lot to ask for a technology to be absolutely resilient to mismanagement or even sabotage.
I enjoy reading the comments explaining how the whole Trump / Vance meeting with Zelensky spat was some epic move in 3D chess.

Meanwhile Trump isn't even able to keep phrases like "rare earth minerals" correct in his head (repeatedly calling them "raw earth"). To be honest 90% of the meeting was him waffling on about how this news organisation was brilliant (because they give him a softball question) and this one was going bankrupt because their rating suck (because they asked a difficult question). You could see Zelensky trying to keep himself from rolling his eyes.
Curiosly, why is the IP stack so large? 400kbytes of binary is a lot of code. Is it highly optimised for large server use case?
the Netherlands has nukes in loan from the US. They are at Volkel Airbase. Officially it's a secret, but it's common knowledge and was also confirmed by a former prime-minister. In exchange for these loaned nuclear weapons the Netherlands promised not to develop nuclear weapons of their own.

With the US now showing they are not afraid of doing a "rug pull" on agreements, one starts to wonder if the Netherlands shouldn't start development of nuclear weapons again.

Technically, taxes aren't going to the government anymore, so you're not helping their economy. You're funding the oligarchy.
hey sure!

Not an exhaustive list but some simple recent examples:

Bugs in iOS mail where notifications just freeze the app.

Memory leaks in WindowServer.

Many iCloud services inconsistent and non-reliable.

Apple Pay not showing correctly in Apple Account settings.

Lots of little hiccups...

Where has Mozilla legal clarified that in its entirety? They could limit the data to that very need inside the ToS if that is how they felt and wanted to be transparent.
The federal system, and every state ecf system I’ve seen, requires PDF.

Par for the course with Techrights, unfortunately.
I suspect many of them are grandfathered in economically too - they are not generating enough income to support starting a new one, but the family has had it for years and never ran the numbers to see just how badly they are doing. (or maybe they only work so long as the equipment doesn't break)

This may sound a little weird, but I quite enjoyed the doom style way of exploring the repo. I wish it had been developed further.

There was nothing stressful about it : ))
Ukraine has been able to fight back because of the aid it got, that's why Russian's invasion wasn't a field trip.
I'm actually more conservative in my politics than conservatives these days. What's happening in government now is not conservative in the least, it's incredibly radical. US supporting Putin over Ukraine is not a conservative position, for instance.

JD Vance has nowhere near the charisma of Trump. Being "well liked" within the context of Trump isn't sufficient to maintain the personality cult of Trump. Ron DeSantis had more solid conservative support than JD Vance and he also was unable to get control of the MAGA cult.
Hopefully this is already underway, and Ukraine has also the know how to build stuff that can deliver these payloads.

They need to develop bunker busters though.
Eh, there's latency in some places sure but a bunch of cuts are going to have rather obvious and seriously negative impacts on the financials around this summer's harvest, and the Ag lobby usually doesn't fuck around. It'll be interesting to see how farm communities are kept in the traces then.
Russia is surely involved, but it's pushing on an open door - there's a huge streak of the American right that actually wants this massive catastrophe to befall the US and for the US to become ungovernable and largely ungoverned.
To follow up, Taiwan literally blocks their ability to see and defend against attacks coming from behind the Taiwanese island. It’s about observability and reducing easy beachheads.

Hi Mick,

1. I'll improve the onboarding, but it's a balance between too much text and too little. I think i'll "unlock" some things like the default perk, extra upgrades by playing better, etc.. after a while, and explain them at that time.

2. You can click menu/unlocks/perk name to try the perk, but only for one level. Maybe i could instead start a normal run with that perk.

3. clicking the score at the top right lets you see what perk you have and restarts the game. The button didn't work at some points, but in the latest version (web) it definitely works. Again, it's a "missing tutorial" issue, more than "missing features"

4. The game indeed has a dominant strategy, I haven't reached 66k high score at all, but I can see some perks work better than others. I was thinking about a challenge of not using a perk. So, high score without multiball. High score without hot start. This would make alternative strategies more interesting to develop. Another option would be "hard mode", where the bricks take more hits, perks are rarer, missing resets the level score, missing a coin reduces score... some new level of challenge basically.

I think all those points can wait a bit though, except the ball stuck one, where i'd love to have more details. If you play on web, you can turn game recording on in the menu, and share the video of any odd behavior. This bug is at the top of my todo, but I also have a job and it's not easy to reproduce, so it might take a little while to fix it.

In today’s “terminology matters”:

Return To Office policy: middle-management language that assumes “office” is a neutral position, we’re somehow “returning to”. This term has been carefully crafted by corporate strategists to sound as palatable as possible.

Mandatory Commute policy: centers the outcome for workers - spending hours each day on an unpaid commute to and from the office just so we can be on video calls all day.

We don’t just have to accept hostile framing.

In my area the yelling is always about hawks. The owls here are nocturnal so they don’t overlap.
That's my experience too.. When the public sector wastes something its an error. For a corp, its business as usual. As long as number-goes-up it doesnt matter to them what they are doing.
It's GSO-owned real estate. Most cities have seen a precipitous drop in office utilization post-COVID, and it's a weak market for selling commercial office space.

It's likely tax-exempt from property taxes, upkeep is likely minimal, and even empty office space is an appreciating asset. I'd be more surprised if it didn't exist.
Crazy how you can ruin a nations reputation in weeks..
Years ago I instrumented a nuclear power plant. I did the client-side development on Sun workstations. I actually got hired because of my TCP/IP experience - which I got from taking "Operating Systems" at CMU. The plant computer on the other hand was a mini computer that had no TCP/IP stack and so that team had to create one.
And yet people wonder why opting out of having kids entirely is really popular.

Nothing's really stopping them from leaving Ukraine, is there?

If you don't want to be targeted by kamikaze drones then don't volunteer to be part of an invading force. Back in the day I didn't really complain too much about being targeted when I was running around in Iraq as a civilian contractor. Well, other than the whole 'non-combatant' rules of war Geneva Convention thing but that was my choice as I knew they didn't discriminate when it came to killing people.
> $280 billion in taxpayer dollars...

Have those funds all been dispersed?
Yes, except ICE fires are a lot easier to put out (possibly partly because of long experience developing tools & techniques vs for electric fires). Electric cars were also banned at most racetracks for years (not sure if that is still true).
I don't understand why you are so animated by this issue. What am I missing? Propaganda about what?
We have like 100 years of bad government by people who love government to dispel this nonsense.
Pro tip, don’t charge to 90 or 100% on a DC fast charger. There’s a significant slowdown past 80%.

Bummer about the broken EA chargers. PlugShare has been really great for finding working chargers. People leave reviews and notes on how well the chargers are working and tips about using them.

I think once all cars are NACS and can use Tesla stations too the charging situation will be much better.
By [the Articles of Confederation], the Union was solemnly declared to "be perpetual." And when these Articles were found to be inadequate to the exigencies of the country, the Constitution was ordained "to form a more perfect Union." It is difficult to convey the idea of indissoluble unity more clearly than by these words. What can be indissoluble if a perpetual Union, made more perfect, is not?. . . When, therefore, [a state] became one of the United States, she entered into an indissoluble relation. All the obligations of perpetual union, and all the guaranties of republican government in the Union, attached at once to the State. The act which consummated her admission into the Union was something more than a compact; it was the incorporation of a new member into the political body. And it was final.

— U.S. Supreme Court, Texas v. White (1869).

America in unable to sustain such active support for two countries simultaneously, so it's picking Israel. Israeli lobbying is much more far-reaching than European so American attention is shifting there. EU has 3-4 years to ram up but its leaders are the same self-absorbed as Trump (only less big mouthed), so in 3-4 years Europeans will have to absorb whatever Putin will come up with.
I've never heard that idea before, and it's so obvious. All science should be done this way.

It kind of does happen in areas of science that are capital intensive like space, high energy physics, etc., because people hear about what is to be done before it is done, but it's not formalized. It should be, and it should be done with everything.
Bad psychedelic trips linked to early death for some, study finds

One use case is to estimate the minimum latency for communications between two points on opposite sides of the Earth, which would be how long it takes light to travel halfway around the Earth:

Also to you- how many kids do you have?

Some assumption that I did not impose a punishment. Prey tell what would you suggest the punishment be? Don’t forget, assignments for school are posted online in Google classroom and need to be turned in online. Many require watching YouTube videos. Please enlighten me.

You edited your comment to add nuance past the snide “parenting is hard” useless quip. So I’ll add some to mine as well.

Greed is the problem. There is a problem of misalignment around this entire ecosystem we have built. We are in an age where we can measure so much more accurately than ever before, so we have invented metrics for everything.

Unfortunately these metrics ultimately boil down to “how can I make more money”. We are what we measure. So now we are stuck with platforms whose key performance indicator is time on site, leading to micro optimizations to identify how to get people hooked. No wonder parental controls are so shitty! Those don’t exactly move the “engagement” graph up and to the right, do they? And there’s no meaningful regulation to counteract that force. In other words there is no incentive for them, and I fact every incentive to make my job as a parent harder.

So now back to your first comment, boiling down to “you’re a shitty parent. If you were a better parent who scolded their children, you wouldn’t have this problem”. It’s telling that you started your comment that way, and instead of responding to my comment by perhaps enlightening me with your sage parenting tips, decided to edit your comment to add bs about how oh it’s greed not parenting after all. Tell me again how I as an individual is supposed to take on an entire industry built upon a profit motive to do exactly what my kid is doing?

Punish him how? Take away his video games? Did that. But then he got up at 6am on Saturday and turned on the Apple TV. Guess what, there’s no meaningful parental controls on that. So I took the remotes and locked them away. Encourage him to go outside and play with friends? Won’t do that because the screens are way more stimulating than interacting with actual people.

Then, one day, I forget to turn the Internet back off on his school laptop after he turns in a project online, and the cycle starts again.
Sounds like Go to me! Every single function that can fail has to return an error value, which is nil if you have succeeded.

I love Go, but its error handling leaves so much to be desired. I even have an Emacs macro that inserts "if err != nil" for me. Also very easy to make a mistake in the rare case where you have to write "if err == nil"; my eyes just skip over any line that includes the words "if", "err", and "nil", as if it was some attention-hungry inline ad.

Rust started off chatty, but soon introduced the "?" syntax, which works perfectly well in the 99% case. Go had a couple of similar proposals, but "keep if err != nil" just... won.
You are correct. Immigration exploded under Blair, and exploded again (from its previous high) under Johnson. That is the root cause of the housing crisis.

Look at how many people in their 20s were able to buy homes in the 1990s, then look at immigration levels in that decade.

You and the other person who pointed this out got downvoted. As you say, it's forbidden to bring this up. But it's true. Immigration has benefited the very wealthy and upper-middle classes while screwing the middle- and working-classes.

Governments leasing offices that don’t have utilities connected seems to point to more government waste.
I think the point about used cars would have to imply that newer used cars are more reliable than older used cars, which would cause the supply of cars in the market to saturate more quickly, thus causing less demand for new cars. Not sure if that's true but it seems reasonable.
> Android devices have been plagued with vendors having out-of-tree device drivers that compile for linux 3.x, but not 4.x or 5.x

What's preventing adding a driver compatibility layer over the unstable API? I would accept a some performance cost and NOPs for new features using a shim for existing legacy binary drivers compared to being forced to junk functioning hardware.
The power dynamic between labor and capital (or managers in this case) in the US has shifted so much since our grandparents generation.

It’s hard to ignore it now. Our rights and safety nets have been stripped away. 40+ years of trickle down economics and other failed neoclassical/neoliberal economic theory have directly caused the situation we are in.

That's a Hertz problem not an EV problem. The car was patently unsuited to your particular needs on that one trip. Daily commuting doesn't involve 16-hour round trips.

You can either use that non-representative experience to reinforce your pre-existing anti-EV ideology. Or reflect on your EV hate rationally.

Actually I believe a not small part of what's happening now is boomer politicians who have been in power too long realizing their time is coming to an end one way or another, and they are refusing to give it up to the younger generations. Trump and Putin in particular have every reason to be as unreasonable as possible if they believe either way there is no future for them if they stop.
