@polpotneolib @SpaceKoala Reminder that the most damaging power station accident in history, ten times worse than Chernobyl, both in death toll and destruction, happened in China in 1975.

If every other power source had to meet the same level of regulatory scrutiny as nuclear, nothing would get built.

@allie__voss Sober heads will prevail. Economics has already and forever doomed nuclear. Wind and solar have won.

@Awk20000 A reddit mod banning Paul McCartney for posting in a Paul McCartney sub is the most reddit thing ever.
Absolutely peak reddit.

@dpoddolphinpro @Starlink Since they have lost communications with it, I'm going to go for "they don't know".
English
This looks serious. A @Starlink satellite "experienced an anomaly on-orbit, resulting in loss of communications [...] We will continue to monitor [...] any trackable debris"
A comms anomaly doesn't create debris... something popped. What are they not telling us?
Starlink@Starlink
On Sunday, March 29, Starlink satellite 34343 experienced an anomaly on-orbit, resulting in loss of communications with the satellite at ~560 km above Earth. Latest analysis shows the event poses no new risk to the @Space_Station, its crew, or to the upcoming launch of NASA’s Artemis II mission. We will continue to monitor the satellite along with any trackable debris and coordinate with @NASA and the @USSpaceForce. The event also posed no new risk to this morning’s Transporter-16 mission, which was designed to avoid Starlink with payload deploys well above or well below the constellation. The SpaceX and Starlink teams are actively working to determine root cause and will rapidly implement any necessary corrective actions.

@HistoryWJacob @curtdoolittle I certainly tend to agree with this, but medieval English law recognised full adulthood for men at 21. I think that was a more limited scope, particularly relating to inheritance, but I'd like to see it explained more fully.

The concept of "teenager" is a modern invention.
For most of human history, a boy of 13 was already a man, apprenticed in a trade or fighting in a war.
George Washington was a professional surveyor at 16.
Alexander Hamilton managed a trading company at 14.
In medieval Europe, noble boys could be pages at 7 and squires by 14.
In Rome, a boy put on the "toga of manhood" at 14.
The idea that an 18 year-old is "still figuring things out" would have been incomprehensible to our ancestors.
I believe this is why we think teenagers are so troubled. They are men and women stuck in a society that treats them as children. Of course they are going to "rebel".
We should give them more responsibility and expect much more of them.

We’ve always been a nation of immigrants?
“Genetically the generation born the year Britain hosted the 1948 Olympics may have been closer to the Britain of 4000 BC, before work on Stonehenge was begun, than the generation born during the 2012 Games.”

@benryanwriter @TomVargheseJr No, i asked if she ever went to news websites, and she looked baffled. I asked her how she got news, and she said friends told her, or sometimes celebrities posted news on Instagram. I tried to figure out her politics, but she didn't seem to have any.

This is a genuine tragedy. The earlier that children interact with the jobs market, the better for their wellbeing, ability to function around adults, and sense of agency x.com/BBCNews/status…

This is a side issue anyway -- AI is an existential risk, and the risk is that liberals will give AIs rights and votes.

This is the correct view of existential risk from AI, and I'm glad @deanwball sees the same connection to Hayek's thinking that I do.

@Indian_Bronson Coming in line with the UK. And people say that British soft power is dead!

Really unfortunate. Anyway, you should have a cheap phone and cheap laptop for international anyway and never take or talk about sensitive information overseas or outside of an appropriate channel — that goes for government and industry!

Hong Kong: On March 23, 2026, the Hong Kong government changed the implementing rules relating to the National Security Law. It is now a criminal offense to refuse to give the Hong Kong police the passwords or decryption assistance to access all personal electronic devices including cellphones and laptops. This legal change applies to everyone, including U.S. citizens, in Hong Kong, arriving or just transiting Hong Kong International Airport. In addition, the Hong Kong government also has more authority to take and keep any personal devices, as evidence, that they claim are linked to national security offenses.

it’s a difficult position to be in when all your private comms are de facto public comms. it means you may as well coordinate in public, which is hard to balance with the basic principle of “don’t argue with the family in front of strangers”

Too optimistic. The role of higher ed is *credentialing*, i.e. selling patents of minor nobility. Coursera didn't matter because the best students don't watch video. Rather, *scihub* created the generation of autodidact turboautists who bear the torch of the Enlightenment.
Alex Imas@alexolegimas
Ever since Coursera courses became very good, only to have basically no impact on higher ed, I've come to the belief that the biggest role of formal ed is to act as a commitment device for students to actually consume the information. AI will be transformative, but AI w/o that commitment element will likely lead folks like you and I to learn more efficiently (but we were going to do the learning anyway), and have little impact otherwise.

That's a slightly confused view. It's not "a Chinese hack", it's that these routers -- especially but not exclusively the very cheap Chinese ones that everyone has in their houses -- are buggy as hell and full of the same vulnerabilities that any Linux box thrown together for $50, shipped, and never upgraded will have. The attacks described are mass botnets from all over the world that work by compromising stuff like that wherever it comes from.
Whether that justifies banning them -- I'm kind of tempted to say yes.
If Chinese intelligence is going to backdoor stuff (and I certainly assume that they are), that will be the premium enterprise gear that is going to end up in government and industry data centres. That's the national security concern.
English
The Chinese Hack that led to the banning of foreign routers is way worse than I ever imagined. The Chinese were not just in our routers. They had access to our iot. That’s “cameras. Video recordings, storage devices.” Even “court approved access to communication systems.” Meaning our Government surveillance. We’re the Chinese spying on Trump?
Eric Geller@ericgeller
The FCC today updated its list of products that can't be sold in the U.S. to include *all* consumer routers made in foreign countries. It's a big but potentially disruptive move to limit supply-chain security risks to U.S. networks. docs.fcc.gov/public/attachm…

This is one of the worst downgrades of all time Old London Bridge was a medieval stone structure that stood for over 600 years and was once considered a wonder of the world. It was 926 feet long and filled with houses and shops, making it the longest inhabited bridge in Europe
