Probably because there is some truth in there. If you have any Muslim friend just ask them if they believe in freedom of speech and expression, few will say yes then ask them, should making fun of Mohammad be allowed, they will say no.
From 2012 to 2016 (5 years), China connected 20 GW (20863 MW to be exact) nuclear power capacity to grid. You can check yourself at IAEA Power Reactor Information System: https://www.iaea.org/PRIS/CountryStatistics/CountryDetails.a...
1) It is, primarily, none of those things. It's a crowdsourced encyclopedia, and a wiki is ideal for that.

2) We don't need an infinite number of featured articles, we only need one per day.

You're also making the mistake of assuming articles that people visit are evenly spread across all the levels of quality. I'm doubting that the thousands of stub articles that are just demographic info on US counties get much in the way of visitation, for example.
Waste is a value judgment. A more constructive rephrasing is to ask when are we going to factor in the cost of externalities (emissions, toxins, etc) into the price of energy.

The best way to reduce consumption, especially for a fungible product like electricity, is by increasing the price. The higher the price someone pays, the less they're going to "waste".

The dilemma is gauging and factoring into the price of a product the cost of externalities, especially externalities that are remote from the consumption. Guaging the cost is difficult (we normally use free markets to do that for us), but factoring the cost into the price is easy.

You can remove subsidies, e.g. for things like coal.

You can tax generation, like a carbon tax.

You can tax consumption, and even get fancy, like using progressive taxation (i.e. low base rate so people can operate their refrigerator, with an increasing rate as consumption grows).

Another alternative is energy saving measures. California has very aggressive energy efficiency requirements for all kinds of products, not just cars. They lead by far every other U.S. state, the U.S. federal government, and even Europe. Most people are unaware of it. Conservative economists argue that it just shifts consumption to other uses. But in _reality_ it's been highly effective; it's a significant reason why California has the lowest per capita energy consumption in the country. The fact of that matter is that changes in consumption patterns are relatively inelastic (as are, notably, responses to energy pricing). So as long as California continues to impose and amend efficiency regulations, it can continue hastening more optimal, more economically efficient energy consumption compared to the "free market" laggards. The trick is that the energy efficiency standards very closely track the state of industrial manufacturing techniques, maximize efficiency gains while minimize manufacturing costs. It's a small example of "central planning" by technocrats gone right. It works because it's practical to quantify the costs (changes in technology and manufacturing methods) and benefits (fewer watts) with a high degree of accuracy; and because if there's a miscalculation and the burden imposed is too high, people simply won't buy new products and will continue using the older, more inefficient ones, so there's a strong signaling loop back to the technocrats.

BTW, it's worth pointing out that we do _all_ of these things. At least, California does. So to answer the question of when we'll begin doing it, we already are, and have been for decades. The real question is, can we do better....
A good deal of this comes down personalities; yours and the rest of the team. Even with tooling it can be difficult to stay connected...but for someone else it could be difficult to stay focused with the ambiance that comes with a lot of "modern" office configs.

That's why we need to place the means of production in the hands of the people, not just of capitalists.

Self-supporting human society, a mix of small companies, skilled people and experts, using automation as well, that works to solve the daily necessities for itself. So it would have its own farms, fabs, schools and such, totally self supporting and self bootstrapped. People wouldn't need UBI if they had the means to directly make what they need. We're going that way - everything becoming cheaper, until it lifts itself by self replication.

I disagree with the author's commentary (in his follow-up article) that Clojure is the best place to dive into functional programming. I think Elm and Elixir are both better options, since they both have cleaner and easier to understand syntax. I also think hot deployments in Elixir, using Exrm, are much nicer than anything in the JVM world. Finally, I like that memory is private in BEAM, unlike the JVM, where it is shared.
I do not know Uber's plan, but assuming they're too smart to do something dumb is pretty silly. Everybody makes mistakes, especially companies that may have become arrogant after years of getting their way with little effort.

And besides that, Tesla does have a permit, so that argument quickly becomes very messy and I don't see how it could rule in favor of Uber. If every driver needs the permit (as opposed to every corporation) , that applies to Uber as well. They'd effectively be making the legislation more onerous against themselves.

Elixir as a new language doesn't have to reinvent a lot of things because of its ability to transparently call erlang (for instance, to use crypto I could just do :crypto.strong_rand_bytes(32) |> :base64.encode_to_string ). This is an awesome advantage to have.
I remember a more incremental approach:

1. Mash it and hold in the pit of your elbow for an hour. If no irritation, go to step 2.

2. Hold it in your mouth for an hour. If no irritation, go to step 3.

3. Eat a bite and wait a few hours. If no irritation, go to step 4.

4. Eat a small amount and wait a few hours. If no irritation, it's probably safe to eat.
spaCy going from AGPL to MIT was exciting to me but I see that actually happened in late 2015 https://github.com/explosion/spaCy
Don't even bother talking about political capital. Nuclear is a worse option because it is overpriced, period. It's not just the downsides that are subsidized by the government, the actual running cost is hidden behind reams of bureaucracy, hidden program budgets, optimistic amortizations, and underestimated decommissioning costs. And even then the reactors still manage to go massively over budget with the initial construction.

People like to feel superior to others by citing fear as the reason nuclear is being avoided, but the real reason anyone should oppose it is straight up costs, without even any disasters factored in. Any other choice with the current and next-3-decades technology is just pissing money away, when it could be spent continuing renewables' rapid decline in cost.
With environmentalists pushing for nuclear station closures, power stations going out of service due to exceeding their lifetime and MOX fuel available, cheap solar, offshore wind, I'd rather not.
Up until global trade took off, cities, villages and even individual farms were almost self sufficient. Why couldn't people be self sufficient with automation?

I'm highlighting the word "reciprocating" which seems to suggest both directions.
There are good restrictions, and bad restrictions. For example, you might want to program in a strictly typed language, because the restrictions solve other problems. But you might not want to program in FORTRAN, because its restrictions are mostly just painful.

To be more clear, though, I think I should have used the word "expressive" rather than "restrictive". I find it difficult to be expressive with computer-based music. And this is personal - I'm typing this while listening to a friend play an amazing live show with nothing but a Roland MC-808 beat box.

Given a guitar, I can do a lot with just one note, by modulating the timing and tone of that note. But I'm dependent on the direct physical feedback. The indirectness of computer interfaces dismays me. This isn't to say all computers are bad... certainly, I play with digital effects in my chain. My sound passes through computers and still sounds like me. But hopefully you see the point here.
Nuclear waste storage is only a problem because we want it to be a problem.

Gen X here, just turned 40. If you compare how I'm doing with how my parents (who were solidly middle class) were doing, it's not even close. At 40, they had multiple homes, were secure in their savings and retirement through generous pensions, and practically debt free. This was on school teachers' salaries!

Me? Student loan debt set me back years, crippling housing costs, and a crappy 401(k) that is probably worth around what I put into it due to multiple deep recessions during my prime working years. I can't even begin to imagine how bad it is for you under-30s!

This is not sustainable. All the value captured through productivity increases is being captured by shareholders and asset owners now rather than the working class.
If you have a large group of people commencing to draw down your fund, your time horizon can be quite short. Similarly, if you have future workers not in the program, you can't "pyramid scheme" it.

20 years of investing are required for most classic pensions and the CHP example workers are likely to have as many or more years than that. An appropriate age based fund (which would admittedly, likely have huge fees) would reduce risk of the money you'd be drawing down on in the next 10 years.
Good points. I've been thinking about this for about a while and really want to do it. Anyone interested? Do you think I should do a ASK HN type of thread offering my contribution?
Seems like you'd want to just have the users running the neural nets to avoid issues of either a single neural net being trained by all the users and converging to a single standard (still quite interesting but not a solution to the problem at hand) or having to run a separate instance for each individual user to train as desired.

Thoughts?
This was before MS had a formal support lifecycle, right?
Most estimates are inflated. From 2002 to 2008 UCS's estimate for a nuclear plant went from $2 to $8 million, for no real reason.

Actual, real-life plants (like from the 60s) have much lower costs than recent estimates have claimed (adjusted for inflation).

Yes, Uber has contempt for law, but also a lot more contempt for other categories:

- regular taxi drivers have lost the equivalent of money Uber spent
Thanks to reverse mortgages, I doubt there will be a massive housing transfer when the boomers die out. Boomers in general will outlive their retirement savings and all that will be left is their home equity. We'll see tons of bank-owned homes but today's young adults still won't be able to afford them.

Last year I met a doctor that work at the experimental ITER fusion plant. He was pretty optimistic about the technology but totally desperate about budget.

It's an international initiative and US are actually one of the country that pay the least compared to its Income per capita...

By today funding it's clear that real solutions won't be ready until 2050, hence fission is still required in the mix until then. I don't get how people can blinding defend that renewable alone is the answer, because once you do the math it just don't work.

The lease should specify a fee, large enough to deter you from walking away for a slightly better deal, but (generally) smaller than paying rent for the remaining months. Giving the required notice (mine is 30 days) and paying the fee lets you terminate the lease early while still fulfilling your legal obligations.

It's there primarily for people who need to move because of work, and usually the employer who is relocating them would reimburse it. So, you could probably ask something like, "what if I get transferred to a different office before 12 months is up?"

That will signal some risk that the landlord will have to find a new tenant. My landlord is a REIT, and I live in a large complex with 2 full-time leasing agents onsite, so finding new tenants is not a huge burden for them - they're fine with high turnover. A mom-and-pop landlord might be skittish about that possibility. But it is still better than "what if I can't pay rent because I am unemployed?" Definitely don't ask that :).
Oh, I'm quite sure.

There are limits to the human ability to discern and judge - see the discussion of blind violin comparison. But they didn't sound the same... they just didn't always have the expected results for "best".

You might have difficulty discerning between, say, Hawaiian and Columbian coffee, but you can easily discern the difference between coffee and lemonade. Except under the influence of certain medications...

The point I'm making, though, is that discernment is situational. It depends on experience with the subject matter, and whether it's direct or indirect. I can easily hear the difference between two guitar picks and make value judgments - IF I'm the one playing. My drummer can tell if I switch picks, because he knows my sound so well, but he couldn't tell you which one is which. Most people could never hear the difference.

When I'm playing a guitar, I can discern tiny things like moving the volume knob 10%. But two years later, listening to a recording, I couldn't even tell you which of my guitars I was playing. It's very situational.

I'm not sure if I follow your question. I worked in Windows NT networking escalation/debug support. We did NT4 and Windows 2000. You had to have a support contract with MS or work off some Pay Per Incident vouchers. Some people had Premier contracts and got to speak with me quickly (but already had first line dedicated engineers), but I mostly handled escalations from our outsourced support specialists (Keane in Arizona and one other I can't remember).

The Pro customers (non Premier) definitely drove the most support volume and often had the more difficult cases. Premier cases were often "hey what if" cases that we answered quickly or were straight bugs. Believe it or not, bug defects are easy because they're usually obvious and the path forward is also obvious (install checked builds to get more info and/or set up break points and remote debug for crashes).

China licensed almost evey nuclear reactor design out there and sent its finest nuclear scientists to study in the West. They are going to copy every design and build new ones.

I am currently an MIS graduate student with 3 years of SAP functional experience.

Considering average pay as a prominent factor, what is a better option - Learning extra SAP skills (HANA etc) and try for a job in SAP or diving into Data Science completely and try to start as an entry level Data Analyst.
All energy produced in any type of power plant eventually becomes heat. Fossil fuels have the additional property of making Earth retain more of it.

Solar could also increase the temperature if it traps energy that would otherwise be immediately reflected back to space. I'm not sure if the difference is significant, though, compared to the effect of greenhouse gases.

Uber has gotten it's way with a great deal of effort, and a world class legal team who are veterans by now at pushing around regulators. My theory may be incorrect, but I assure you, they've calculated their outs.

Tesla the company has a permit, individual Tesla users do not. If Uber had to get a $150 testing permit, well big deal. If every Tesla driver had to get a permit, that would be a meltdown for Tesla and Tesla owners.
My cat was on a "diet" similar to yours. I just ended up giving in and letting him eat all the food he wanted, which ended up being less than expected. He just freaked out at having an empty bowl.

My thinking was that he's a cat and what's the point of a cat being unhappy for his whole life.

> but as long as Apple didn't require justification for explicit domain exceptions

The previous plan was they they were going to require justification for every domain exception.

Further, they were going to require justification if you were already using HTTP Live Streaming... Apple's own protocol which is written to use AES encrypted segments over plain HTTP.

They were going to require justification for peer connections that have to jump through hoops to get URLSession recognize their self-signed certificates. This one in particular is still affecting one of my apps. It's not always possible to force peer certificates to be accepted, making HTTPS between peers very difficult (seemingly impossible) at times.

I'm not saying that these things can't be done but I think Apple underestimated the number of systems affected and the justifications and reasons involved. HTTPS is fundamentally not "everywhere", despite its prevalence in larger systems.

Another one that wasn't mentioned: optional types. Sometimes you don't need / want em, but it's good to have the option available for when you do.

Aside from that... Elixir feels really fun. Maybe it's a silly metric, but that's just my biased opinion.

The last feature that caught my attention was their deployment tools. I haven't used em yet, but based on a conference video I watched, it looks like they have pretty sweet setup. They claim to have very easy zero downtime upgrades / downgrades. And I think preparing a release automatically bundles dependencies, so everything is contained in a single compressed file.

How would ATS affect apps which don't just talk to one server of the developer of that app? What if an app should talk directly over wifi to a device in your local home network via HTTP? Or to a system that each company who buys it hosts on their own and in the app the customer has to supply that hostname or IP in order to connect?

Would ATS have enforced that there could only be a few centralized cloud servers?

And can I simply bypass ATS by linking in curl+openssl?
