That's 1,918 billion spent on supporting families on every street, literally saving tens of thousands of lives of every day folk every year, ensuring safe retirement for millions, putting money back into the economy, and putting people back on their feet versus a "mere" 620 billion spent on a needlessly large program which kills civilians around the world and becomes a tool to be used in geopolitical engagments that arguably make our citizens more unsafe. That mere 620 billion is more than the next 7 largest millitaries spend combined.

I'm not saying these programs are perfect (single payer and basic income would probably save lives and money), or that there is no need for millitary spending, but it's scary how out of touch you are to be incapable of realizing why people would be upset with 620 billion going towards killing people and not with 1,918 billion going towards saving and empowering them. Cutting defense spending in half, as unthinkable as that is in the current dominant neoconservative political climate, could free up money for rebuilding infrastructure, doubling the budgets of NSF, NIH, DOE, and NASA, and so on.

The 70mph is horizontal velocity, gravity is vertical acceleration from 0. Total velocity is sqrt(sum of squares). It's unclear how much horizontal velocity the train would lose due to air resistance and due to the unclean launch from the ravine. (Would it fly off the end of the track, or tip off the end and tumble down?)

The cost of everything else about a nuclear reactor is based in hugely understated fossil-fuel subsidised cost basis. That is going to inflate when you don't have those fossil fuels around, particularly for elements for which hydrocarbons are essential inputs or exceptionally difficult to substitute (coking coal for steel, much or all transport, chemical feedstocks, industrial process heating).

But that's less a concern to me than the technological stack and global risk associated with massive (15,000+ reactors) deployment of nuclear technology. Present major incident rate has been about 1 per 100 years of plant operation. How much are we going to cut that down to? 1 per 1,000 years? 1 pere 10,000 years?

Because that's one or more major nuclear accidents per year at a 15,000+ plant scale.

Even getting the rate down to a few per century adds up over sufficient time, and I presume you're in this for the long haul.

Who manages plants and waste processing during major economic disruptions or times of total war between nuclear powered states (which would be, let me check, um, all of them).

The systemic risk side kinda bugs me a bit.

Not the kind of toilet seat you are talking about, but you can easily spend that kind of money for a home toilet seat: https://www.liftcaregiving.com/shop/products/urinary-tract-i... (Not an endorsement -- I just grabbed it at random from a Google search).

I actually do have a similar type of toilet seat (as do most other people in Japan). Some optional extras you can get on toilet seats include a heated seat (highly recommended if you don't have heat in your house) and a fan that vents odours.

There are only 2 furnishings in my house that I wouldn't give up. One is the toilet seat and the other is a bath that pours itself and maintains a constant temperature with a recirculating pump. Worth every penny and more.

> The following being a prime example...

Oh, I simply meant that most or all values are built around social constructs, so they all have similar validity.

> If you are going to distribute that property there is only one way to accomplish that: by force.

And my point was that preserving that private property is also accomplished by force. The question is, what do you mean when you say "force". If you mean coercion, then many things in society are achieved through coercion. That is pretty much the essence of civilization (see Freud's Civilization and its Discontents). Coercion and freedom will always live side by side. Most values conflict with one another at some point and need to be prioritized, but freedom is rather unique in that it conflicts with itself. If you have a society (i.e. two people or more interacting), then an individual is either free to restrict the freedom of another or she is not. In either case, someone's freedom is restricted -- through coercion. And it turns out that surprisingly many of the things we do in our interactions can restrict the freedom of others, which is why freedom (without qualification) is a self-conflicting value and therefore not a well-defined one, as different kinds of freedom then need to be prioritized and balanced; that also means that coercion, or "force" (without qualification) is not a negative value by itself. So the question is, what kind of force? So when you say that distribution of property is done coercively, then there's nothing really special about it.

I find the technology developed during WW2 to be quite advanced for the time, as I guess most secret/military technology is.
When the Allies discovered the Germans attacking based on beams, they would either attempt to bend them or send in an attack following the beam back to transmitter.

With the use of 'Gee', until there were transmitters within France, the Germans would jam the signal such that shortly after crossing the French coast, the signal was obscured in what they described as 'grass' along the bottom of the signal trace. Navigators would also take star shots outside of Gee range.

Quite a few of the transmitter sites, chosen for their geography, are still in use for similar purposes today.

The development of H2S the ground mapping radar and also utilizing any radar return before it hit the ground gave them 'fishpond' which would display a return for an aircraft that was below them. That could either be another bomber in the stream or a night fighter coming in for an attack.
A good possibility, but Back To The Future's time travel doesn't require 'immediate' consistency. Could be that changes are propagating at 2†, so Marty can meet his future self and watch him fade into a future self that is experiencing his present choices.

† Because the propagation would be occurring in sec/sec, the units cancel, so it's just a number -- I jest, those aren't the same 'seconds' unit, you you see the point.
That's not the sense I was using for "lots of jobs." My point was that the GP instantly compartmentalized the mortality of 40-50yo high-school graduates to being marginal workers most likely to be outsourced. This to me feels a little too narrow.
In the times that we have sent shareholder consents it's the case that they sign a document that says "I agree to this change." It's not, "do you agree? check yes or no."

If the majority sign, then you have unanimous consent. The ones who don't sign are basically abstaining, in practice usually cause they are too busy and just never get around to it, not because they express dissent.

The language is confusing because it sounds more like a vote than it is.

You are right. I'm not from Florida (obviously).
Actually, the main objective of the DoD is preserving a general liberal-democratic post-war order, one which persists only because of a balletic balancing of forces. You may have policy or ideological disagreements with particular episodes or theaters, but to condemn the DoD as "620 billion going towards killing people" is. . . dumb. Or unconsidered, to be more charitable.

And there's evidence that these welfare programs you seem to like are far more inhumane than they are helpful. Remember: it isn't manna from heaven. It's money from income earners. (Not "the rich," remember: it's work that is taxed, not wealth.) And economies have overcome many revolutions, from iron to industrial, without these programs. Do you have a principled reason why the information age is any different?

Yes and no. From a customer perspective, I'm sure declining quality did them in. But that declining quality didn't happen in a vacuum.

From what I remember, Dell did a much better job of managing supply chain costs than Gateway did. I suspect that the declining quality was Gateway cutting corners to remain price-competitive with them. It's quite possible Gateway could have maintained quality at higher prices, but that would have just been a different way to die (and quite possibly a faster one - declining quality takes more time to recognize than higher prices, plus Apple's resurgence would have complicated any plan to go after the high end). Either way, pressure from Dell is what backed Gateway into that corner in the first place, so it is entirely reasonable to attribute Gateway's problems to them.
But that has to do with NOx, not CO2. They are really two separate things.
The Doc specifically mentions that Mr Fusion only powers the time circuits, not the rest of the car. So to get Back to the Present it would have had to have been functional, given the plutonium system was removed between BTTF1 and BTTF2.

Why is it that solar is always sold based on what might be available in a few decades, while nuclear is judged as if 1950s technology was the only option?

Complaining about the supposed problem of nuclear "waste" (really, unused fuel) is the equivalent of someone today complaining that computers were too large to be useful outside of a few labs. Who would want a "computer" when only a handful of labs would be able to afford the high maintenance costs (replacing vacuum tubes is expensive).

> Are these in production?

No, due to the roadblocks put up by anti-nuclear activists and governments that prefer reactors that generate certain isotopes of plutonium.

> What sort of waste/byproduct do they produce?

The entire point of a breeder reactor is to burn through most of the fuel. We currently only use about 3% of the fuel we put in the reactor. Any breeder should only leave a few % of problematic fission-product waste.

This gets even better when you consider that some of that "waste" is actually useful for various purposes. However, even in the case of the old wasteful-1950s-tech reactor, the amount of waste involved is so trivial, it's hard to compare even to "renewable" technology like solar. (making PV cells has it's own waste/pollution problems

http://spectrum.ieee.org/green-tech/solar/solar-energy-isnt-...

Also, another bonus of using the decay chains of thorium's fission products is that the worst isotopes produced only last on the hundred-year scale, not thousands of years.

> How is it different from conventional nuclear waste?

You're talking a handful of grams per-person-per-year, see above.

The question you should really be asking instead is why every other form of power generation isn't held to the same standards.

> Is it totally inert?

It's far more inert than anything you will find dumped into a coal tailings pond, and I'd rather be near a tiny amount of nuclear power waste than the chemicals used to make PV cells.

> Are you aware that if solar...

Are you aware that most of these "larger" (lol) solar installations are de facto running on natural gas? I'm all for using a variety of technologies, and solar certainly should be an important part of energy generation. Unfortunately, until we find a way to store power quickly and efficiently at the TWh-scale, these unreliable technologies are not viable for base load power.

Agreed. The savvy Canadian investor (even a retail investor planning for their retirement) wouldn't invest 100% in Canadian investments. I think this is a natural rebalancing of the admittedly enery- and commodity-heavy sectors of the Canadian market.
These debates about the military budget involve people talking past each other because they disagree on what would happen if we stopped spending that money.

Nobody educated on the subject things we spend $620 billion just in case we need to beat the next 7 armies on the list. We do it because spending more than the next 7 armies on the list ensures that it is pointless for any other state to even try to challenge U.S. hegemony. Nobody knows what the world would look like if the U.S. abdicated its role as world police but a lot of people are willing to spend that money to not have to find out what happens.

And its not unreasonable to be afraid of that hypothetical. The western world spent hundreds of years at war with each other. That period culminated in Europeans killing tens of millions of each others' people. Today, instead of shooting each other in the face as their grandparents did, French and Germans hold hands in the EU. What the hell happened? A very plausible explanation is that when the U.S. became unchallengable after World War II, it became pointless for any European country to cultivate aspirations of global power. That dramatically reduced the geopolitical instability that comes with countries vying for regional or global dominance.
This is the kind of thing you have to be very careful about if you're an officer of a company. It's permitted under Delaware law to do such things by unanimous consent, and in some circumstances by majority written consent, but certain notices have to be given to the stockholders.[1] In addition, controlling stockholders have fiduciary obligations to non-controlling stockholders.[2] The authority of the majority is not unlimited. In particular, an attempt by the majority, especially when the majority is management, to dilute the rights of the minority while benefiting management usually leads to trouble.

Claiming there was unanimous approval when there wasn't is a great way to get sued.

Unfortunately it's not the case. The alternative isn't "shut up, we don't want to hear from you" it's, "you were given the same amount of information as everyone else and didn't respond by the cutoff - and by the way the majority of respondents consented so any response is moot."

Where it would matter is if there were abstentions for dissent, which I have never dealt with, so I can't say anything about it. My guess is that you wouldn't send something out in such a manner anyway if you expected resistance.
