There is no real bottleneck in uranium production. All we need to do is to double the price and various extra production will come online. And the price of uranium means almost nothing in he context of running a power plant.
I would say a mix of both, but more the problem is with the way the software fights your desire for custom workflow rather than encourage it or make it cheap.

Think Git/Hg vs CVS when it comes to branching.

Yes that happens at my work - most workers have a post-it notes on the side of their monitors with various passwords written down - real secure.

Anything requiring permissions, passwords, group policy etc is a complete nightmare. I had this gem when I emailed Information Services this morning.

My email:
"XXX has left the company and I've taken over their role Can you please remove them as Owner of the following sharepoint site: YYY and make me the Owner instead."

IS's reply:
"Please fill out a trouble ticket *"

I proceed to fill in a digital form 2 hours later I get a terse reply.

"Hi ZZZZ please contact the owner of site YYY and get them to adjust your permission. We are now closing your ticket."

At a very high level, email is primarily used for discussions.

I guess it depends on what you mean by "primarily" but my inbox is overwhelmingly notifications and announcements, not discussions. There's remarkably little of my inbox dedicated to actually talking to people.
Guns aren't exactly low-hanging fruit. If you actually separate out acts of violence by motivation, goal, or type of violence, rather than by the weapon used, you will see that solutions based on restricting guns are not solutions at all.

For instance, the current hysteria surrounds mass shootings. But statistically you're about as likely to get struck by lightning. And in places where guns are restricted, its true they don't have mass shootings as often, but that's only because we are defining the act based on the weapon used. The actual class of the attack-mass murder/assault-continues, but using a different weapon, such as arson or poison gas.

Gun deaths are also lumped together as well, so suicides and self defense are treated the same way as unarmed murder, which also muddies the waters.

So "how it works" is that people are irrational when it comes to fear and risk and their instinct is to "kill" whatever it is that makes them fearful. In the case of drones, no one feels particularly strongly in favor of free range drones (and such a situation ultimately is untenable anyway) so there isn't a lot of push back. In the case of guns, not only do many people have strong, reasoned arguments why guns should not be (more) restricted, but they also possess the same irrationality about fear and risk, thus "all hell breaks loose."
I'm Asian American and grew up eating and enjoying a ton of weird shit including rotten fish, pork blood, durian, etc, but even I encountered the same feeling of disappointment after tasting my first Turkish delight. Like the OP, I had imagined this amazing treat in my head after reading those books and seeing those movies/cartoons as a child. It's definitely an acquired taste that I eventually learned to like after finally finding a flavor I enjoyed (pistachio). Most of them taste like powdery gummy perfume.

You can't simply blame "uncultured Whities". An analogous "weird" flavor in the West is licorice. I just don't get it.

I worked on a healthcare IT system at one point as a consultant. I tried to the best of my ability to improve upon the UI or the software, at least for the small tasks commissioned to me. I think that most of the other programmers tried to do the same.

It was extremely difficult because the software was written over a long period of time by multiple generations of programming teams and programming styles. It was hodge-podge to say the least. Take that system and integrate it with another equally hodge-podge system. Then add a couple more hodge-podge systems to that. There were just lots of redundancies and disconnects. I did feel sorry for the people who were going to have to use that system.

I'd say that medical administrative software is ripe for "disruption" just because it sucks so badly. Except for the fact that the systems are a) huge b) require extensive domain knowledge c) are regulated d) sales of such systems are extremely political and e) there's no way to do an end-run around the administrators who are purchasing these systems. It doesn't seem very suited for a "move quickly and break things" scrappy startup.
Many ancient cultures have myths about a great flood or series of floods. It was probably not a single global event, but plausibly to have been based in some shift in climate patterns during protohistoric times.

Didn't you just warn me about comparing countryside to cities in China? In any case, the high levels in Kentucky are the legacy of coal country, which China would be wise to avoid. It also doesn't help that China's rate is increasing year-over-year along with their population that's already 5x the entire state of Kentucky. I literally can't fathom why you're trying to minimize the impact of dirty air in Beijing.

What if I so happen to be working with Chinese Unicode files without BOM that are also valid ASCII files?

What's the longest natural Chinese substring you can find for which this is the case? When we ran our encoding-and-language-detection heuristic developed for our research work I think, and this is 10+ years ago, it was 5 characters long -- there was no substring 6+ characters (12 bytes of UTF-16) which could be reasonably written in ASCII.

This is because much of ASCII is unprintable, more-than-doubly so if you're concerned strictly with 7-bit ASCII as opposed to e.g. Latin-1. When's the last time you saw a string contain 0x18 ("cancel"), 0x07 ("bell"), etc?

An assortment of 0x..18 characters for your amusement: 予,先,券,単,又. I picked ones which are included in commonly used words in Japanese. Seeing any one of these once in UTF-16 is dispositive that the bytestream is not ASCII.

This problem is worth thinking about (which is why a customer asked a team of CS researchers and linguists to think about it, including one barely competent programmer who nonetheless had reasonably good intuitions for what character distributions looked like), but it turns out to be much, much less hard than many people originally expected.

Anyhow, long story short: make a histogram of the bytes, dot product with the histogram signature you have of a few large corpora in decent-guess-based-on-apriori-knowledge languages/encoding, normalize. The screamingly obvious candidate is almost always the winner.

If you want to do it really, really quickly you can even evaluate this heuristic with a Bloom filter in an FPGA.

I expect I might take more care about maintaining a tidy history (see my other comment about splitting out separate histories by context), and reflexively clear bits of my history when I don't want them hanging around in the way of a ctrl-r - which would certainly include bits of passwords and anything pasted.

That said, this seems to use PROMPT_COMMAND to log off history, which would not give the opportunity for such tidying. Worrisome.

Where else could the money come from, exactly? Anyhow, money creation is fairly normal, which is why I would tend to expect that if such a thing were implemented: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_creation

But people have to be willing to exchange things for money, so if you create tons of it, it becomes toilet paper. We already know this can break down due to direct, empirical observation. Just look up past examples of hyperinflation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperinflation

And this is the sort of thing that worries me. All the past examples had to drop their own currency, which they could no longer be trusted with, and become dependent on a foreign power. All the past examples were governments that though the government's funds were simply unlimited and many were Socialist governments that wanted to tax from the rich and give to the poor.

That said, don't get me wrong. If I could actually believe that none of us had to work and robots would do everything, I'd love it. But having worked a crappy ass job, I know that some work can only get done out of necessity at present. I really hate that, and I don't wish it on anyone, but I don't know how to fix it either. I wish I could be convinced that some of the fine, caring people putting out these proposals had thought them through, but they've mostly helped me understand that they know less than I do, and I know almost nothing :/

If you are on HN, it's quite likely you will find the issues trivial to overcome. The support tools really are ridiculously good now, and you'll find that the cost of running them is ideological, while the pay off is magical, if not inspirational.

It's not the texture—it's the flavors. You're right, it's basically a gummy bear covered in powdered sugar. The problem is the flavor. It's not a taste most Americans associate with dessert. I think they taste like perfumed gumdrops.

I love people who provide free scientific material for college student (or overall everybody). I am in religious country and I am ex-Muslim .

p.s. no offence . I am not saying people who selling their books are bad guys, not at all . I am just saying people who provide free material in my opinion are doing something incredible to humanity .

update : When I am saying "educate people* , I absolutely mean science.
Makes you wonder why they even bought them in the first place. There was no possible integration there, the only move was expansion into other markets.

Hitler's dentist and the techs who worked with him were captured after the war. They independently reconstructed the details of the dental work that was placed in his mouth. The reconstructions meshed with each other and matched perfectly with the dental work on the jaw fragments attributed to Hitler, including the famous "telephone bridge" which was put in his mouth. They also match with the skull X-rays of Hitler which were taken after the July 20th bomb attempt. Hitler died in Berlin, forensic analysis confirms it.
Alas, not helpful here. The logging is done in PROMPT_COMMAND, meaning by the time you can type another command things are already logged and editing your history won't help. Hopefully (though I see no evidence of this, I've also only skimmed the material) things are marshalled somewhere locally and can be inspected/edited before being sent to the server.

What has been really interesting to me over the last several years that these stick computers have been around is how people are using giga-Hertz range processors with an huge operating system and truckloads of memory for stuff that's easily done with a small 8 bit processor with K's of RAM vs G's of ram and a simple time-sliced tasking mini OS written in an afternoon.

Don't get me wrong, it's great that one can buy a computer like the Pi Zero for $5. I'm afraid something is being lost in the process. Maybe it doesn't matter. I mean, if one can get something the size of your pinky that cost less than coffee at Starbucks to run Linux...
Nah, it's the storage:

2006年大西洋飓风季时间轴中记录有全年大西洋盆地所有热带和亚热带气旋形成、增强、减弱、登陆、转变成温带气旋以及消散的具体信息。2006年大西洋飓风季于2006年6月1日正式开始，同年11月30日结束，传统上这样的日期界定了一年中绝大多数热带气旋在大西洋形成的时间段，这一飓风季是继2001年大西洋飓风季以来第一个没有任何一场飓风在美国登陆的大西洋飓风季，也是继1994年大西洋飓风季以来第一次在整个十月份都没有热带气旋形成。美国国家飓风中心每年都会对前一年飓风季的所有天气系统进行重新分析，并根据结果更新其风暴数据库，因此时间轴中还包括实际操作中没有发布的信息。包括最大持续风速、位置、距离在内的所有数字都是经四舍五入换算成整数。2006年大西洋飓风季的活动程度与前一年相比远远不及。起初气象学家预计在极其活跃的2005年大西洋飓风季后，2006年的活动程度应该只会略低。然而，2006年迅速形成的厄尔尼诺-南方涛动现象、大西洋热带海域上空的撒哈拉空气层，以及以百慕大为中心的亚速尔高压这一强大二级高气压的持续存在，都令2006年大西洋飓风季的活动程度大幅降低。从10月2日以后一直到飓风季结束都完全没有热带气旋形成。2005年12月底形成的热带风暴泽塔一直持续到了2006年1月初，成为有纪录以来第二个跨日历年的大西洋风暴。虽然其存在时间不在任何一年飓风季的正式时间段里，但仍然可以视为2005和2006年大西洋飓风季的一部分。

Do you have an intuition for what that looks like if you interpret it as ASCII? No? Just guess: "almost plausibly an English document", "gibberish but mostly ASCII", "absolutely zero probability of being mistaken for ASCII."

I whipped up a quick Ruby script:

```
require colorize; chinese = File.readlines("/tmp/chinese.txt"); puts chinese.bytes.map {|b| str = b.chr; if str.ascii_only? ? str.blue : str.red}.join
```

which converts that string from a Unicode encoding (UTF-8) to ASCII and renders the output blue where it collides with a printable ASCII character and as a red question mark otherwise.

Did this match your prediction?
