Thanks for the precision.

Which one is more insane?

It's quite simple really:

1. Big hedge fund bet against GameStop stock (shorted up to 140% of the stock, it's called naked short and everybody thought it was illegal since 2008 but that's another story)

2. Lot of small-to-medium investors coordinated over Reddit to take the opposite "bet" en masse (basically buying a lot of GameStop shares) so that the price will go up and "big hedge fund" lose a lot of money.

=> The plan worked. It's a first. Hence the news coverage.

Edit: Typos and formatting

TL;DR: If you auto-upgrade your setuptools version during your app deployment, your deployment pipeline will crash when version 46 or later is installed.

I always thought it was a military term meaning "zero kill". No casualty is OK.

Please add IN MICE at the end of the title :)

Thanks!

> Or do your homework and find that it’s actually far worse than pro-nuclear propagandists constantly claim.

Well, I did. And did not find any convincing claims. Try to take a step back and not see everyone as either anti or pro. Show me your evidence for your claims.

"Assassinated whistleblowers" is a pretty strong statement, it requires pretty strong evidence.

> But a single nuclear power plant has the potential for continent-wide devastation.

This is not true.

The space destroyed to make way for coal strip-mining in Germany alone, is larger than Tchernobyl exclusion zone.

Not at all.

Dams failures are WAY worse in terms of deaths.

Well, I cannot undo years of pervasive anti-nuke sentiment in a small hacker news comment.

I was like you before, it's the "default" sentiment to feel like nuclear power is dangerous and dirty.

Please do your homework and collect information from reliable sources on the matter. It might change your mind, or at least give you a more balanced viewpoint.

Nuclear power is not that dangerous on a large scale compared to coal power. Or burning any fossil fuel for that matter.

Especially during the night :)

This article is misleading.

You can NOT replace nuclear with wind and solar. Because you can't choose when the sun shines and when the wind blows.

Hydro in France is already built-up everywhere it was feasible. There are no more spots to build meaningful hydro power capacity. Too bad since hydro is the only renewable that can really replace the nuclear power plants.

White paper tldr: between +5% (cannabis) and +20% yield (tomatoes).

This is huge.

I worked for a company that made the same mistake but with AWS Kinesis instead of Kafka.

So, much more costly mistake.

Intercooler is fantastic and integrates well with Django.

That's great news for space in general.

SpaceX has proven to be far more efficient than the usual suspects for making stuff happen in space.

Finger crossed, let's hope the Gateway program don't get downsized to oblivious by the impending crisis.

> A different way of looking at this is that he contributed to rising inequality, inflated costs of living in the Bay Area, higher hurdles for those less able to market themselves as pompous rockstars, etc. A privileged white male made a group made up of mostly privileged, mostly white, mostly male people richer and more privileged. Hooray!

Yes, hooray indeed! (my sarcasm detector just blew up for some reason)

Making IT people richer doesn't make any poor people poorer.

Also, a lot of non-white people are working in IT nowadays (arguably the majority) and this population has the most need of patio11 advice. Divas in the bay area are only the top(-ish) 1% of IT crowd, and not a very representative sample at that. And they are not the prime target of his counsel.

Basically: Even if you love your job and could do it for minimal wage, ask to be compensated according to your merits instead. It won't make you love your job less.

No.

But he told us to charge (or be paid) more and probably make us tenths of millions collectively.

In the real world, nobody tells you to charge more or raise your salary.

It’s beur THEN rebeu but yep you got the spirit.

A bit off-topic but aren't there two Tesla cars in front of that house? If you look closely, they are plugged into an electric charging station on the sidewalk.

When I lived in the Netherlands a couple years ago, I was fascinated by the large number of electric charging stations everywhere. The highest density in the world, as I recall reading somewhere.

I love the Netherlands.

1. People finally realize that wind and solar are not going to replace coal any time soon. Nuclear goes back in fashion. China and Russia lead the way.

2. Interval combustion engines are finally seen as the bane of mankind. Electric cars become commonplace. Petrol is only used in planes and boats.

3. The world gets used to negative credit rates. Some companies abuse this system and a few large bankruptcies threaten to pop the bubble. The central banks massively inject money to prevent systemic collapse.

4. Remote work becomes the norm. Real estate prices in large hubs go down a bit, but not much.

5. South East Asia becomes the new silicon valley, welcoming a horde of digital nomads.

5. Hurricanes gain in strength and some coastlines are redrawn.

6. Trump-like governments are elected all over the Western world. Global trade slows down a bit. People get happier overall. Global Super richs are a bit less rich and way less global.

7. Fully autonomous Electric cars are there but only for niche use (touristic islands, Gated communities). They are slow and uncool.

8. Intel and Boeing go under. US federal government save both companies with taxpayer money. Both companies are cut in pieces and resold to competitors.

Which is true indeed!

Nuclear power, in a world where transport emits co2, emits co2 (especially during the enrichment phase).

Just waaaaay less than other forms of electricity production (including solar and wind)

As a moderately successful saas founder, I'd advise you to take a series of increasingly better paid freelance gigs, then invest the surplus into dividend stocks.

A successful saas is a lot of work and not passive at all.

Good luck! It's lots of fun either way :)

... in mice.

Because the nuclear reaction is not dependant on the wind blowing to produce energy.

It's not 100% because you need to do maintenance at times.

3MW is the peak power when the wind is blowing constantly at the maximum speed the wind turbine was designed to operate (and not over, at which point the turbine enters safe mode and stops to prevent damage).

Load factors for wind turbines are rarely over 40%. Nuclear's is 80%. So you'd need 2200 turbines to replace one Hinkley point. And all the gas power plants to make the energy when the wind is not blowing...

This article fails to make the distinction between battery capacity (in MWh) and battery power in MW.

That's very bad. It's a bit like mistaking miles for miles per hour.

Though in that case it's megawatt times hour.

Did you try using https://priceur.com ?

It simplifies stripe account migration (and also multi currency pricing).

It's free for now. Enjoy!

If you're so obsessed about build quality, why don't you buy Apple?

You are basically asking for premium quality from cheap brands.

Not going to work unless you get lucky, which (spoiler) did happen to you in the end.

And then what happened to the start-up?
