Fair point re: starting nuclear from scratch and politics, but I guess my question is why haven’t renewables taken off then? If it makes sense economically and has less regulatory friction, wouldn’t private businesses have started selling renewable energy by now?

Australia is still heavily reliant on coal. Anything anti-nuclear can be seen as pro-coal, which is obviously horrid for the environment: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_in_Australia

The United Nations said Monday it will “reduce its footprint” in the Gaza Strip after an Israeli tank strike hit one of its compounds last week, killing one staffer from Bulgaria and wounding five other employees.

Does the UN not have any power the can exert over this? They seem strangely helpless when militaries misbehave

This is the correct way to do it. Even when I was hiring, I much preferred opening Quick Apply positions. I don’t want to waste your time either (and I sure as hell am not reading cover letters)

The left has undeniably alienated some of their group (my mum was alienated by trans rights, I was alienated by the DNC, Elon was allegedly alienated by Biden’s EV push ignoring Tesla), but I think the bigger problem is the left doesn’t fight for things people care about.

The right are the only ones in the news cycle (look at how many articles we have about Trump, even when he wasn’t president) which, to anyone who doesn’t treat politics like sports teams, makes you obviously see a thing or true that you support Republicans on. This imo is the critical flaw of the left; I now have no reason to be excited about their platform, and I’m completely numb to anything they say negatively about Trump.

It’s a loaded question, if the transparency reports are enough they’ll likely cover whatever the law requires.

The real question is basically should companies report environmental impact for AI training; I’m on the fence for this. It sounds good on paper, but will it cause investment overseas and is it the most useful place to burden companies?

When you’re applying to jobs, you should be a little more diligent about picking up the phone and checking your email. It sucks but no one’s gonna do it for you.

It’s unusual for the response to go to the spam folder, but I guess now you know? Go apply some more, and watch your spam folder this time.

I mean how many jobs have you applied to online? I think about 1 in 100 applications leading to an interview is around standard, although some people will get lucky.

Also the reason we don’t explain why you didn’t get the job is because given hundreds of applications, that would take hours to do (I personally only look at a resume for 10+ seconds anyways) and we don’t want to open ourselves to legal retaliation

Unfortunately, it may be a good idea to “customize” each submission by incorporating keywords from the actual listing into your resume.

This is usually a bad idea, since quantity > quality for most people trying to get a professional job. But I do agree with the rest of your comment

1. I report any email that is spam as spam, so my inbox is quite clean and I don’t miss anything
2. I applied to ~600 positions, averaging about 100 positions an hour. You just have to be faster with the application process; don’t customize your resume, don’t read the job description, just apply

Good, we don’t actually want [email protected]

Wait, this article is insane. Not the part about Signal, not the part about accidentally inviting a journalist, not the part that it’s real, but how intelligent the people in the chat actually sound. What a joke they perform on live TV acting all dumb for their voters to eat up

Holy, Paris is based

This was the third such referendum in Paris in as many years, following a 2023 vote that approved a ban on e-scooters, and a decision last year to triple parking charges for large SUVs.

Banning e-scooters is dumb because they replace cars, but the triple parking charges for large SUVs is amazing

The 500 additional streets to be pedestrianised will bring the total number of these so-called “green lungs” to nearly 700, just over one-tenth of the capital’s streets.

So based.

I work in big tech. 10 years ago, nobody was talking about going back to India, Pakistan, and to an extent, China. Now, people are talking about it. They’re talking about Indian stocks, Indian houses, and dreams of retiring to go back.

Most people aren’t - but the number is now non-zero.

Or we can just emigrate to a better country. I’m going back to Korea after I save some more money at $job

Fellow Canadian working in the US. Just be yourself they’re curious about you and your ideas

You are mostly correct, some additional insight from someone who works with security/privacy stuff:

That is different in the EU I grant you

Even in the EU, when a user requests to delete their data, you’re allowed to keep enough to validate they were a previous rule-breaker so they can’t just delete their data and re-register

The session staying open is bad security though.

There isn’t enough context to say for sure, but in general this is standard practice. JWTs, probably the most widely adopted standard for authorization on the web, have an expiry date and cannot be revoked. Yes it’s not great security, but I want to emphasize this is standard practice. Google, Apple, Meta, Slack, etc all do this.

Also, when you request data deletion, the companies have up to a month to do it. I’m not sure if OP expected it to be instant, but it doesn’t have to be

This is from 6 years ago. I haven’t heard of the issue more recently

I really don’t understand this comment (maybe I need to go to sleep), but I don’t see OP referring to any culture war, and I can’t say Republican’s are the only ones inciting culture wars (they might be inciting the ones I disagree with, but it is a culture war to push for equal rights)

Maybe we should do a throwback to him violating his working visa, that really converted a lot of Republicans to the left
