The template I linked automatically calculates hourly totals, prices given a rate and time and subtotals. I think that covers the "spreadsheet-like" capabilities you mention.

The presentation details of the template are bundled into a class file and each line item is simply:

\hourrow{Date}{hours}{hourly rate}

As for whether one semi-structured text file is easier to edit than another, I suppose it will have to come down to a matter of opinion.
The startup capital required for nuclear fission is so immense that it doesn't make sense from an economic time-value perspective. The problem with most renewables (excl. thermal and hydro) is that they are incapable of meeting 100% of electricity demands by their nature without better storage technology.

The economics are pushing towards renewables but I feel that nuclear makes more sense for our society in the near-term (we need to get away from coal and other fossil fuels).

I thought the same thing. Does anyone at Twitter USE it?
Ah, that is better. No promises (and nothing in the immediate future), but this does certainly remain in the realm of possibilities.

I don't want to speak for the down-voters (I'm not one of them and I think your comment is was a valuable contribution), but when I first saw AD integration requests I assumed that people wanted AD managed Kerberos authentication to 1Password for Teams; and so imagined delegating 1Password for Teams authentication and authorization to a third entity.

Don't get me wrong. I love Kerberos. And in very early planning stages we looked at it quite a bit. But Kerberos is only about authentication. We need client derived encryption keys as well as authentication tokens to achieve our security goals of end-to-end encryption.
Samsung TouchWiz with KitKat 4.4.4 had awesome performance and battery life on my Note4, then they destroyed it with a Lollipop update (after constant update nags) and forced me to downgrade probably voiding my warranty in the process, anyone sane would have returned the phone. I don't know if Samsung or Google is to blame for the serious battery and performance regressions, but I do blame Samsung for pushing it out to its users. Many people have been burned by this and will never buy Samsung again. What were they thinking? It's not as if Lollipop offers anything much for the average user (developers are another matter). It's such a shame, as the hardware is top notch.

Ah, I understand now.

It's always been clear that React alone isn't enough to write a full application; you need to combine it with some other pieces. The official recommendation from Facebook is to use flux, and the most popular flux implementation (redux) is quite good, but you can also use Om-style approaches (Omniscient, Baobab, etc.), or wire it up to legacy Backbone models, or whatever. But you need something; you can't write an MVC app with only the V and expect good results.

You guys tried to write a large "pure" React application, and it failed in all the ways that large React applications always fail. And you learned from it, and hacked together a kinda-sorta-fluxish solution, and it's working for you, and that's great.

...but if you want to take another look at it someday, I'd highly suggest checking out redux. It's very slick, and it was explicitly designed to solve the exact issues you ran into.

(In particular, a redux app is built of a small number of smart components which respond to to a specific subset of events, each managing a tree of "dumb" components, which gives you the granularity you were looking for. And then you can use the PureRenderMixin and immutable data, which gives you the very fast shouldComponentUpdate methods you were looking for for free, no need to ever write your own since, as you found, that way lies madness. The docs even cover how to properly cache derived data, another issue you noted running into. And so on.)

Interesting thought. The plastic tape is just a representative raw material. The plastic tape can totally be replaced with biodegradable material.

The key idea is to start with something with no structural integrity, the tape as a sheet and give it a good strength to weight ratio by folding it into tube.

Even ignoring modern reactor designs that can use waste isotopes as fuel, we had a perfect storage solution in Nevada... until Harry Reid sabotaged it, costing taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars.
What's truly amazing is the emergent properties of nature that lead to natural structures such as this.

It makes me wonder if we can create cellular automata made from materials at a nano-scale to mimic this process. Then you're one step away from a Von-Neumann Universal Constructor.
> All the waste used to power a life of electrical usage creates was the size of a pea.

Source on this?

Best I could find shows that 3 cubic meters of waste is generated per year for a "typical 1000 MWe light water reactor" after reprocessing and all (which isn't always done). [1]

With 99 plants in the US (not counting the plants with multiple reactors) that leads to 297m^3 of waste.

With a population of 318 million, that's about 9.3x10-7, or approximately 4-5 peas per year or 367 peas over the course of a lifetime.

EDIT: Forgot that we only get about 20% of our power from nuclear energy, so it's actually closer to 1835 peas.

The German wikipedia does have some interesting references to reports on thorium reactors from the British National Nuclear Laboratories [1][2]:

> In the foreseeable future (up to the next 20 years), the only
realistic prospect for deploying thorium fuels on a commercial
basis would be in existing and new build LWRs (e.g., AP1000
and EPR) or PHWRs (e.g., Candu reactors). Thorium fuel
concepts which require first the construction of new reactor
types (such as High Temperature Reactor (HTR), fast reactors
and Accelerator Driven Systems (ADS)) are regarded as viable
only in the much longer term (of the order of 40+ years
minimum) as this is the length of time before these reactors are
expected to be designed, built and reach commercial maturity.

World Wide Web: Tim Berners-Lee’s Original Home Page for the World Wide Web
I recently downgraded from a 6 to a 5S almost entirely over size issues. If my thumb cannot reach the url bar of the browser and all of the keyboard without repositioning my hand, the phone is too big.

I know on the 6 you can double tap the home key to bring the screen down, but that is a bandaid. I also found the double tap unresponsive sometimes, often having to try two or three times, in which time I could have just repositioned my hand.

To me, the 5 is near the optimal smartphone size.

There was nothing worse than allowing to make tweets viral by gaming people into voting: "retweet if you agree, star if you disagree." Retweeting a tweet makes it infinitely more popular than starring. It does look like twitter has started rolling out a proper polling feature.
One thing I want to point out that a lot of the recent articles seem to ignore. With fusion reactors there is absolutely no risk of runaway reactions like those observed at Chernobyl and Three Mile Island but there is a huge potential (and likelihood) for local material being radioactively contaminated due to neutron bombardment over long periods of time (this is the principle material science challenge faced in attempting to make fusion practical).

Fission reactors operating in this country are all over 40-year old designs. The newer designs actually have substantially improved safety capabilities over the old models, but political and economic challenges have prevented the adoption of new plants.
I didn't see that as sarcasm. If you say somebody died 25 years below the average life span, really there's no excuse not to either put the cause of death, or specifically state that it wasn't released, or that "at time of publication, was unknown or witheld" And you could put some information around it if there was a previous illness reported or a history of X in the family.

Yahoo does get points for using the word "dies" instead of "passes away" Any journalist / editor worth anything knows everybody "dies". You don't try to soften the articles with fancy language. But they failed the "who what when where why."

"We could do it for $1 Trillion with liquid-fueled Molten Salt Reactors, on the same amount of land, but with no water cooling, no risk of meltdowns, and the ability to use our stockpiles of nuclear “waste” as a secondary fuel."

This is not a production-ready technology, though. I believe there are lingering problems with corrosion. And the claim that the MSR doesn't require secondary water cooling is odd: what's the turbine working fluid heat dump supposed to be?

I really object to phrasing energy policy as either/or. Build out renewables, now, because that's ready. Let's give the MSR a fair go at getting to production-ready, see if the problems can be worked out.

Being very familiar with nuclear waste, I can say that, from a technical pov, it's a solved problem: just put it deep enough to comply with whatever safety level is required. The problem with nuclear waste is political not technical and not economical.

Reprocessing or transmutation are alternatives to handle nuclear waste but they have in common that they're more expensive and even less acceptable to society.

It is amazing to realize this type of technology can be bootstrapped only once (?)- as soon as you start getting automated replies in the system quality of learning on past data will drop, at some point snake will be eating his own automated reply tail.

I imagine this system would benefit greatly from optional additional user voice input, something as simple as 1-3 spoken words fed back into Reply network to help with the reply intent decoding. You get email, NN generates 3 replies it thinks you would like, you have different idea for a reply, click microphone icon and say "no, maybe next week", Reply network rebuilds suggested answers with your input shaping reply vector.
They also assume a wide grid and overcapacity, which balances it out. And their storage capacity is minor, and they assume relatively cheap backup power. Like I said, there are plenty of things wrong with it, but it's nothing like what is wrong with the OP.
There is a 5-10 year lead time between digging the first hole and opening the plant. That's >$100 million in capital investment for 5-10 years without any return, so the plant has to have a present lifetime value >$140 million the day it opens.

This ignores various risk cases associated with building a plant that drive the return on capital further up.

If you're eligible to exercise any options, I would be concerned; you can't make an informed decision without knowing the tax consequences. You might want to phrase it as you'd like to exercise some options, but you need to know the 409a valuation so you know how much AMT you can afford.

If you're not yet vested and there's no early exercise provision, you don't need to be super concerned, since you can't take any action anyway; but I would be sure you're getting the compensation that you want in a form you can value (salary).

Nameplate capacity is the number registered with authorities for classifying the power output of a power station usually expressed in megawatts (MW). Power plants with an output consistently near their nameplate capacity have a high capacity factor.
Very concerned. They have a legal obligation to tell you this number so that you can properly pay your taxes. Companies that aren't willing to share this data are reasonably likely to be screwing you.
You are basing your comparison of desktop computers as you are now. Smartphones are more like desktop computers in the 90's. The rate of change was so great, that even a 3 year old computer felt sluggish on a new operating system and often needed settings turned down. (Think 486 vs Pentium).

At the risk of sounding "markety", let me point out the first three bullet points in the overview of our security doc.

\item[True end-to-end encryption]
All cryptographic keys are generated and managed by the client on your devices, and all encryption is done locally. Details are in \nameref{ch:deep}.

\item[Server ignorance] We are never in the position of learning your Master Password or your cryptographic keys. Details are in \nameref{ch:SRP}.

\item[Nothing “crackable” is stored]
Often a server will store the password hash. If captured, this can be used in password cracking attempts. Your locally held Account Key means that the data we store cannot be used for cracking attempts. See \nameref{sec:account-key} and particularly Discussion~\ref{aside:factor} for details.

A way of summing this up is that we've aimed to designed things so that our data store is not an attractive target. And that means not being attractive to LEAs.

Getting it to perform well here requires you to figure out how to prune the size of the diff.

The most efficient way of doing that is by never doing an unnecessary diff in the first place.

Everything after that is a trade-off between convenience and overhead. Sometimes it will be worth incurring some overhead for greater convenience, sometimes it won't.

You're doing it by splitting the app state into finer grained trees (each tree is pruning the branches it's not listening to) but any gains you're picking up from doing this could be done on the single root solution with appropriate shouldComponentUpdate methods.

But shouldComponentUpdate is the wart that makes the whole abstraction leaky. The assumption that such tests have negligible cost is essential to the assumption that React used in the style you're advocating is efficient, but with non-trivial data models that won't necessarily be the case. Even if that assumption holds under any particular set of circumstances, you still now have two sources of truth, with more code to write and more scope for introducing errors.

At that point, it seems you're not necessarily any better off than you would be with a more traditional, event-driven architectural style, you're just making different trade-offs. For example, given a parent-child relationship between components, rendering top-down using React might avoid some of the need to co-ordinate updates if underlying data is appearing or disappearing. On the other hand, it might also mean writing a bunch of boilerplate shouldComponentUpdate functions just to keep rendering efficient.
