Raydovsky··on Synthetic diamonds are now purer, more beautiful, and cheaper than mined
No deeper groves at 8?
Raydovsky··on A Review of Linux on Surface Pro 4
That's because the XPS were built to run ubuntu. You can even buy one with it pre-installed.
Raydovsky··on Immunotherapy Is Changing Cancer Treatment Forever
Anybody know why MRNA cancer vaccines didn't work out?

seems like it's almost the same methodology in making the immune system target specific proteins.

Raydovsky··on Starship survives reentry during fourth test flight
The internet is weirdly quiet about this achievement
Raydovsky··on Intel to Receive $8.5B in Grants to Build Chip Plants
IIRC The original chips act had a provision that companies would have to train and hire X% of non-white/non-asian engineers.
Raydovsky··on Expanding Our Partnership with Google
Yeah.. Reddit shouldn't be relying on community moderators for larger subreddits.

They need paid people.

Raydovsky··on Solar will supply almost all growth in U.S. electricity generation through 2025
Then you have to find a way to store it.
Raydovsky··on The state of silicon and the GPU poors
Huh, if your electricity prices are low enough, it can quite worth it

It's not just bloat. It's also shitty devs that create more work for everybody else.
Raydovsky··on Shane Pitman, leader of the warez group Razor 1911: life after prison (2005)
Yet , countries with the highest crime rates have the toughest punishments.
Raydovsky··on U-Bahn station in Berlin is decorated with radioactive uranium glazed tiles
I think in Germamy the danger of radiation is overblown. It's really hard to get any radiation damage from low intensity sources.

Hell, even chernobyl is projected to cause at most 4k premature deaths over 50+ years.

Raydovsky··on The UK is wasting a lot of wind power
Because storage is hard and expensive.

Generating energy is easy (with renewables).

Raydovsky··on Why do bees die when they sting you?
Because wasps don't live in large colonies. Thus losing one wasp would be more damaging than the risk of infection.

Also wasp nests aren't as hot and humid as bee hives

Raydovsky··on EU Hydrogen Infrastructure Map
They'll do anything to not build nuclear
Raydovsky··on The five-year engineering feat Germany pulled off in months
There wasn't much bureaucracy in the 70s. The reactors built in the 70s in France are as safe as they get.
Raydovsky··on The five-year engineering feat Germany pulled off in months
A 30 year old reactor is hardly an old one.

You can use them for 50-70 years

Raydovsky··on The five-year engineering feat Germany pulled off in months
If you had tons of nuclear, you would have people switching to electric heating.
Raydovsky··on Apple Execs on iMessage for Android (2013)
Russia is the same.

Imo it has to do with perceived status of owning an iPhone.

Raydovsky··on Fed increases target rate to 3.75-4.00%
I dont get it. Prices are rising because fossil fuels are more expensive.

How do interest rate hikes fix that?

Raydovsky··on How I make a living working on SerenityOS
If you're earning 1.8k eur in Sweden with 5 years of experience, you're doing something really wrong.

In Latvia, a much poorer EU country you're looking st 2.5k at least woth 5 years of exp.

Raydovsky··on Modern PHP features – PHP 8.0 and 8.1
I don't think people's proglem with PHP are the semicolons and $ variable declarations.

It's mostly legacy stuff like built in function naming.

Raydovsky··on One store’s decision to leave San Francisco over crime
Most people in the comments are jumping on the guy for "Not doing enough" and calling for more "support services". And housing the homeless and etc.

Why don't big cities in Texas have the same problems with crime? I don't think TX has more social programs than SF.

Raydovsky··on One store’s decision to leave San Francisco over crime
That sounds ironic
Raydovsky··on Don’t let the great ESG self-deception infect climate tech investing
TBH I wouldn't be surprised.

The obsession with renewables has hurt Europe beyond measure.

People are still living in Chernobyl.

He'll, they're growing food there that gets sold to Europe, cos it has below the standard level of contamination.

CF for Solar in Germany is 11.6%.
Raydovsky··on Ask HN: Nuclear plants in war zones: A valid reason not to build more
None of those either. Chernobyl caused very few cancer deaths.
Raydovsky··on Ask HN: Nuclear plants in war zones: A valid reason not to build more
And its extremely safe.
