To synthesize what both of you are saying, I think the biggest problem nuclear has is that (a) current regulations make new reactor construction prohibitively expensive & (b) current regulations are designed around preventing problems that occurred in reactors 50 years ago.

We're essentially strangling the innovation that would fix the things we're terrified of, which are why the regulations exist in the first place!

As a result, we still have Gen II reactors (Watts Bar) coming online. In 2016.
You don't have to wait until the bottom, but it's obviously better to buy assets when they are "cheap" rather than "expensive".

Valuation and long-term future returns seem indeed related historically

Of course this kind of arguments are not bullet-proof, see for example: http://www.philosophicaleconomics.com/2014/06/critique/

And one could have missed the last years of bull market applying these arguments already in 2013 (it doesn't mean that the conclusion was wrong with the 2023 horizon, though).

Anyway, ignoring valuation completely doesn't seem the right thing to do and people try to forecast returns to make asset allocation decisions: https://www.researchaffiliates.com/en_us/asset-allocation.ht...

I wouldn't call that market timing.
I personally think Clinton will be worse than Obama or Bush when it comes to any issue involving ethics.
Assange and Ecuadorian ambassador (crawling under desk in office):

Assange: "Unplug it and plug it back in"
Ambassador: "I did"
Assange: "Are the lights blinking?"
Ambassador: "Some of them..."
Assange: "Which ones..."
Ambassador: "Why am I doing this?"
Assange: "Which lights?"
Ambassador: "All of them..."
Sexism and ageism appear to be the least of this woman's problems at this moment.

>A central theme of the leaks so far is that large segments of the media have been overly cooperative with the Clinton campaign in spite of feigned objectivity.

This is a nice bit of propaganda you've put forth here.

Here's a Harvard study into the majority of the 2016 election coverage including primaries which shows a demonstrably strong bias in the media pro-Trump and anti-Clinton and demonstrates that Clinton has received a FAR more harsh relationship with the major press.

http://shorensteincenter.org/pre-primary-news-coverage-2016-...

http://shorensteincenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/figu...

It demonstrates that coverage of Clinton was on average negative about her for the entirety of 2015.

It demonstrates that Trump enjoyed a very positive and cushy relationship with newsmedia who combined to give him hundreds of millions USD of free exposure.

I would argue that Clinton has had mostly negative coverage up until the end of September 2016.
"The phrase Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells is a generic name used in the United Kingdom for a person, usually with strongly conservative political views, who writes letters to newspapers in a tone of moral outrage.[1] The term may have originated either with the 1944 BBC radio show Much-Binding-in-the-Marsh, or with an editor of the letters page of the Tunbridge Wells Advertiser." - Wikipedia

Colnels. How to explain. It's the kind of person who flies a Union Jack from a pole attached to their garden shed. They probably think it's ridiculous political correctness that we don't still celebrate Empire Day.

Just to reinforce the last point regarding blogging and presenting locally, they are 100% correct. I've never actually submitted a talk for a conference but I've been speaking to local programming groups fairly regularly as well as blogging for the last 3-4 years. Regularly is a couple of times per year or slightly more often.

I don't get paid to do any of it, I just really enjoy talking about this stuff. Through these talks and blogging I've been recruited by 3 different companies to contribute to their company tech blogs and I was invited to speak at a rather large and exclusive conference where I was the only speaker not from a HUGE company on the docket.

It happened because I was giving the talk locally, somebody affiliated with the conference drove in from about an hour away to hear it and then stuck around to invite me to speak. I never considered that conferences would recruit but apparently they do.
Vim used to have very very conservative defaults, but it was fixed in Vim 8. Some very useful features like persistent undo are still not enabled by default.
Thoughts on the Y Combinator Continuity Fund
I agree but also disagree.

Plenty of people joke about off color things. But, from my experience, even in private, they generally don't joke about things they could do. So I might joke about drone striking or nuking someone. But who cares, I have no power to do either of those things.

However I don't joke, even in private, about introducing backdoors into my code. The reason why is because it is something I actually can do.

So yes, people take part in dark humor all the time in private. However it's usually about unrealistic things. I don't know exactly how to resolve this with particularly powerful people though, so I would err on the side of giving them a pass.
What are the odds that Donald Trump has reached out to Assange and made a deal with him? I don't think it would be outside the realm of possibility that Trump would say if he won he'd push for the US to drop charges against Assange (although that doesn't clear him of the charges brought by other countries) in return for Assange releasing whatever information he has on Hillary leading up to the election.
I ran into this but didn't know what was going on. Seems kind of sleazy.
> Trying to upgrade an operating system is almost always a good way to ensure you're going to have a bad time.

That's a really strong assertion to toss out without supporting evidence. I've had the opposite experience with Debian/Ubuntu (100s of systems, starting in the late 90s) and OS X (dozens of systems, starting with 10.0) — the process is almost always start the update, reboot, resume work with rare exceptions for something like previously-undetected filesystem corruption.

Even my experience on Windows has not supported that conclusion – you might always want to be ready to reimage the machine but it hasn't been rocky for at least a decade.

The difference might starting and staying clean: avoid OEM Windows installs, apply updates regularly rather than putting it off for years, don't install system-level hacks (Mac users were terrible for awhile about using “haxies” and then complaining about Apple when some random binary monkey-patching broke on the next major release), and be careful about installing software from irresponsible sources.
The linguistic relativist's position (Sapir-Whorf hypothesis) is specifically that people with different color words perceive colors differently.

Wikileaks was about sharing facts.

Wikileaks today is about curating facts, interpretation and using facts towards an end.

The "fact" state actor w/o proof is another step away from the roots.
I would like to learn of examples when would this be useful. My layman's understanding is as follows:

If we're searching for something that we don't know an approximate location of, depriving everyone around of night vision, making it impossible for helicopters to be nearby and possibly even making thermal imaging devices less useful are disadvantages enough. The only advantage I can see is increased depth and color perception.

If we're searching for something that we know an approximate location of, fair point. Alas, I expect that this is a rarish situation (we either know that the missing person is somewhere in the general area, or within voice range in this particular direction; or we have visual contact).

If we've found something/someone and need to move it/her, we either are in no hurry and need little illumination or we're in a hurry and really care about night vision while carrying the person later or care about being helicopter-friendly (bright light most certainly isn't).

I can't imagine other SAR usecases (other than essentially searching or rescuing).

It's both. They shrank their OS down to fit on a handheld device, but they also massively expanded what a "handheld device" could do. After the iPhone was announced, RIM supposedly couldn't figure out how Apple could possibly be doing all this fancy stuff and still have acceptable battery life. The answer, of course, was that they just made a gigantic battery. Amusing post about it here:

I think the difference in attitude comes from how /specific/ a risk factor is. Falling off a roof is very specific to the person doing the installation, and it's easily foreseeable to the installer. This makes it easier to ignore. In contrast, fallout from a reactor failure is very general. You basically draw some distorted circles on a map, and everyone in those circles is affected.

It's way more terrifying because you have basically no control over the risk once a reactor is built. Worse, if you lived in the area before the reactor existed you've just gained a new risk factor. If you're a homeowner you can pack up and move, but that's a major undertaking to avoid a risk that someone else created for you.

In contrast, the solar installer has direct control over their exposure to the risk. They were aware of it before entering the situation, and they can eliminate the hazard at any time by quitting.
YC’s Sam Altman Stands by Advisor Peter Thiel for Bankrolling Donald Trump

Are you agreeing that corporations are people?
Ecuadorian president Correa is outgoing, not running for another term. There will be a new president in a few months and it is almost inconceivable that a new president could be nearly as accomodating as Correa towards Assange.

Something is going to happen in the next few months. Question is, how much agency does Assange really have left?
I'm inclined to agree with sib comment by ashark. While I agree with everything you say here, none of that points to an actual underlying need to engage with opposition politics (except in the case you point to, when it creates familial conflict, which by the way must be the absolute worst, and my sympathies to all those struggling with pro-Trump relatives). Unless you yourself are a politician or political operative, you're not likely to get much satisfaction arguing politics with strangers.
Like many here, I totally and vehemently disagree with the fourth reason for rejection (the "n00b"): if someone has a proposal that is worthy of presentation, they should be given the opportunity to present -- regardless of their age or experience. There are many reasons for this, including the most obvious one that if every conference insists on experience, no one will be able to get that experience. But the reasons for not depending on prior presentations run much deeper: if you are going to evaluate a proposal based on the speaker's prior presentations, you are tautologically unblinded in your review process. Having an unblinded review process is a grievous mistake: when conferences aren't blind in their reviews, they end up confirming their own biases more than selecting the best possible work. (I have always felt this way, but my feelings on this were galvanized by my own experiences inside the sausage factory[1] -- and for the conference that I am currently organizing[2], we are emphatically double blind.)

I understand the problem of creating engaging presentations as well as compelling content, but there are ways to achieve this other than being prejudicial. For example, if you want to create an invited talk or two for those whose presentations the program committee particularly likes, great. And if you want to provide presentation coaching for those who you accept who haven't presented before, even better. (I have provided this coaching informally in the past, and have found that a little coaching can go a long way.) But a blinded review process must be viewed as a constraint on the problem: to do any less is to deprive ourselves of the new ideas and presenters that provide us our collective vitality!

Our competency on projects where we are being paid a full domestic consulting rate is quite high, thank you.

Now, if you're asking us to compete with cut-rate bids from some online freelancer exchange, we will reduce the level of service and QA to match our competitors in that space....

Eg. you may have Nordstrom's service for a Nordstrom's price. Wal-mart service for a Wal-mart price. But don't expect Nordstrom's service for a Wal-mart price; that usually isn't going to fly....
The bigger issue is that autonomous cars make it extremely easy to massively boost utilization: driver assist still means your car sits at home, work, etc when not in use. This in turn means more cars are required by society. Autonomous cars can achieve much higher levels of utilization.

This is the real reason legacy car makers don't want fully autonomous vehicles.
Chip Morningstar: Software Crisis the Next Generation
Thanks for the insight. It's a relatively fragile negotiation, since we're just little guys who received an opportunity to do business with a big corp.

As with the API, we implemented some integration with Salesforce and it was relatively easy. SAP, on the other hand, seems to be a different kind of beast. There's a huge amount of moving parts, which seems a little enterprise-y and complex for a tiny startup to work with.
As pretty as aluminum is, it's way too soft. I have a CNC milled android device and it's got some nasty bumps from me dropping it on the ground. Plastic, while not as shiny and fancy, is much better suited and more resilient if you value material strength and usability over looks. It's cheaper too.

I'd say that the fact that no one agent has to is the basis of its success. In the end it isn't without its shortcomings, though, so I agree with your sentiment in general. Either that, or something is used to incentivize the maintenance of the long tail of things, e.g. filecoin.

I do a lot of presentations, and I'm on the Windows Insiders Fast Ring, meaning I get a new build about weekly, hence a lot more Windows Updates. I check for and install updates as part of my preparations before presenting. I've been doing this for years, on every operating system I present on (yay xcode updates over hotel wifi!). I've never had a problem with unexpected OS updates, because I run them explicitly. I do the same for frameworks and IDEs I'll be demonstrating. I'm surprised someone doing a presentation wouldn't make sure their software was up to date before doing a presentation, honestly. Not just because it makes sure you know the state of your software stack, but because you'll know if - for whatever reason - your demonstrations don't work or work differently on the latest software release.

End to end tech checks (including your software stack) is just part of respecting your audience.

I think some people run into surprise software updates because they do demonstrations on a virtual machine. I don't think that's a good idea, but if you're going to present on VM images, it's just good practice to test out your environment before you present on it.

Note: I'm not making any statement here about how I think software updates should be installed or how Windows works. I've blogged about controlling Windows Updates over the years, here's a post from a decade ago: https://weblogs.asp.net/jongalloway/438009. This comment is about how I make sure, as a developer and presenter, that software updates don't affect my presentations.

To add a personal anecdote, I was accepted to speak at a large regional conference as my first speaking gig. I explicitly stated I did not have any previous conference experience. I attribute this partially to having a relatively niche topic.

I was lucky enough to give the talk twice at a local user group prior to the conference, which helped with the actual conference talk, I am sure.
Sometimes it means I do the development work that developers don't want to do, sometimes it means I do the operations work that ops doesn't want to do.

At it's best, it's a process for communication between ops and dev where folks use a common platform to do what each do best, while collaborating on things which are shared concerns.
I am absolutely OK with stipulating that.
You write as if Trump is just as dirty as Clinton and Assange is simply choosing to not release that information. It is possible that Clinton is, as Trump says, the dirtiest candidate in the history of politics. She's been hit with scandal after scandal. And before you say those scandals are a result of partisan witch-hunting, Obama never had these scandals that Hillary did.

It's a niche camera. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone starting out in photography, but for someone who values the ergonomics of film cameras, I think Fujis may suit their needs better than the Sony or Canon you mentioned.

It's like buying a Subaru BR-Z in 2016. There are other cars that perform better, but sometimes it's the experience of using something in a particular fashion that brings the most joy.
They've done the same thing in the UK, but Assange was there for a while and it never happened.
There are charities that get their base costs covered by yet other investors and can claim 100% of donations go to the cause. https://www.charitywater.org/100percent/ for example has fancy New York offices they can use for free.

Gloucestershire Young Carers.

A carer is someone who provides care for someone, but who is not paid to do so. The person getting care is normally disabled, and often a relative. A young carer is someone under the age of 18.

These children face significant amounts of ignorance, not just from student colleagues but also from some teachers.

And they face tricky problems. When a child reaches 17 - 18, and is thinking about going to university they feel guilt about leaving their cared for person, and also about putting younger siblings into the caring role.

I recommend the Gloucestershire branch because they're closest to me, but there are others around the UK.

Here's their website: http://www.glosyoungcarers.org.uk/
