Cleaner, yes (arguably). But not cheaper - nuclear is very expensive!

The Google model suggests $2200/kW is the build price point at which all carbon emissions will be displaced.

To give an idea of the cost of nuclear, the UK is currently building it's first new nuclear station since the 1990s (Hinkley Point C), at an expected cost of £20.3b ($26.3b) for 3200 MWe capacity. That's $8230/kW - almost 4x more expensive than what's needed!

I built https://mypost.io which I technically did as a learning opportunity and was planning on charging, but I'm keeping it free. I built it to teach others how to code.. using HTML, CSS, and Javascript along with hints of BB Code.

It is being used around the world.. never advertised it ever, except for the few times I posted on here and twitter.
Yes, but this is very poor compared to how precise you can get with email filters. I use git to version 1000-line Sieve filter to route incoming mail, I couldn't do the same with texts (thankfully they are still much more rare than email).

So, like the parent of your comment, I find that email is a much better medium for non-time-sensitive communication than SMS.

Fake eggs in China was the one that really astounded me!

http://newsfeed.time.com/2012/11/06/how-to-make-a-rotten-egg...

Citing an anonymous source, the paper outlined how the fakes were made: prepare a mould, then mix the right amounts of resin, starch, coagulant and pigments to make egg white. Sodium alginate, extracted from brown algae, gives the egg white the wanted viscosity. Then add the fake egg yolk, a different mix of resin and pigments. Once the proper shape is achieved, an amalgamate of paraffin wax, gypsum powder and calcium carbonate makes for a credible shell.
Long time Dvorak fan here. Great to see an initiative like this :)

When I have to use Apple products I tend to use Karabiner Elements to swap place between Right ALT and Caps Lock, to ease with all the combinations. Seems to do the trick to avoid pain.

Also there is a nice implementation called Svorak A5[0] of this (although based on the Swedish Dvorak layout), that I learned and find productive.

"maverick rule-bending to compete against the establishment" seems like a really complementary way to say "lawbreaking company".

I mean, their whole model was to go places, ignore the law and continue operating until they either got thrown out, or they pumped money to the right places to get the law changed.

Scofflaw corps get nailed sooner or later, and a corp the is built on breaking laws might break some laws investors care about...

Uber should IPO unless they are waiting until they decimate traditional taxis but I don't see that happening in key markets. They could buy up medallions on the sly though. Economically, Amazon loses money in expansion and they have no real competitors online so I don't see why uber can't do the same.
it could be related to the large number of acquisitions they've made in the past year or two. a lot of those could have been for equity rather than cash

The Isuzu VehiCROSS was a concept car, too - what actually sold was almost identical to the concept (IIRC, there were a couple of side fender vents eliminated, and not much else).

If you've never driven one, you don't know the fun you're missing. I describe it as a vehicle that either "is an off-road beast that thinks it's a sports car" or "a sports car that knows it's an off-road beast".

I say it like that because I'm one of the "lucky owners". It has pretty great handling for a vehicle of its nature. Even with a small lift and 32" MTs, it takes corners like on rails. While it isn't really a "sports car", for an off-road vehicle it doesn't do too bad in the "get-up-n-go" area. Much better than my I6 jeep.

It's a very unique vehicle, and I can't imagine not driving or owning it...

This is my swipable curated news feed. I only tested it on my iPhone 6, bookmarked to Homescreen. Outside of that your experience might vary.

I've been redoing it every few months for the past 3 or 4 years. At one point it included summation text and opened inline AMP links for articles that had them.

It's an automated curation of content I like and includes some basic sentiment analysis and popularity metrics.

The content is interspersed with a custom ad template just for fun. When there is enough content it includes mediative looping gifs/video.

It scrapes content, rewrites headlines, throws images through random filters to good/bad/artful effect.

This is my entire morning subway commute.

According to German cancer society, leukemia is associated with smoking but majority of leukemia cases cannot be attributed to a specific cause (https://www.krebsgesellschaft.de/onko-internetportal/basis-i...), and 25% of pancreatic cancers attributed to smoking, with alcohol abuse greatly increasing the risk (https://www.krebsgesellschaft.de/onko-internetportal/basis-i...).

Smoking (and excessive drinking) kills in many ways... and if your family has a cancer history, risk is even higher. Wonder how long I'll live, a relative died after years of battling liver, lung and other cancers due to smoking+drinking.

Semantics.

Premine is a term for cryptocoins where traditionally, the start date of the network is announced after the mining protocol and software is released to the public.

When a cryptocoin dev team intentionally takes control of part of the supply of the cryptocoins before releasing the minting protocol/process/supply to the general public then it's considered 'pre-mined' because traditionally as with BTC/LTC/DOGE/etc, the public was informed of the protocol and presumably all users given access to generate the coins as a reward for fueling the network activity.

In the case of antshares, the basecoin being %100 premined would almost seem more like a stock in the project as apparently coin ownership is a precursor to generating the secondary token which is used as fuel for the services provided.

How so? You're evading supporting your argument. You just make claims.
During his interview with Jordan Peterson, Damore explained that he was looking for criticism/push back against his claims, which was why he posted it to a Skeptics forum within Google.

He didn't actually present it directly to management, nor did he publish it publicly. Many people improve their work by asking for feedback, so you seem to demand the impossible: for him to create something great, but without allowing him to refine his work in a way that many people need to create something great.

BTW. I am not aware that Damore had a senior job title and even if he had, his job didn't involve writing rigorous papers. So I'm not sure how you can say that this document proves that he was bad at his job. In his interview he said that his last performance review put him in the top few percent of performers at Google. So if we assume that he is not lying, you seem have drawn wild conclusions based on weak evidence, that far stronger evidence actually contradicts.

This really sucks for the employees currently involved in this story, but at the corporate level, Google made their bed on that particular point. So remember people: "privacy is dead" and "anonymity is too dangerous" according to Google, except when it suits them that it shouldn't be.

Again, according to the employment lawyer I linked, he was fired for the contents of his writing, not some projection of his mental state.

What I'm trying to point out is that people on the receiving end of discrimination in our industry have recognized patterns of behavior that mostly pass beneath my (and perhaps, your) radar. But they are patterns that women across the board, in different companies, in different fields, recognize and can name to one another. This is what structural sexism means, these patterns are built into our society, today. And this manifesto matched perfectly with a number of negative patterns, hence the strong negative response.

(also, writing is inherently a projection of internal psychological state so I'm not sure I really understand the problem you are talking about)
The NIH is by far the largest funder of research in the U.S., so "most grants" has to include them.

You are correct that there are grants from agencies with a cap including indirect costs - I confess I have the opposite experience of you, I'm usually the Co-I on NSF-style grants, so I don't look at them much.

In that case, yes, if indirects were lower you could up your direct costs. I still contest the idea that the indirect cost system is somehow stealing "your" grant money though (where you = lab).

The world had less reliable housing, less clean water, less reliable food, worse healthcare, and more physical conflicts in the 60s, and we still had the Apollo program put people on the moon.

Only the most pathetic hacks would argue that we are the worse for having invested that money to push the bounds of exploration.

At a point, there are 6 billion people on the earth, and there will always be _some_ problems unsolved, whether that is because a few countries are trying to collapse, or because we have found new first-world problems to agonize about in the US.

It's a question of whether we will spend 10x the cost to solve the last 10% of those problems, or spend that money moving forward as a civilization.
I find the better approach is just to use a keyboard layout you like, and then use hotkeys on top of that. It's best if they are standard. OSX does great at using readline hotkeys. ctrl f, b, h, d, e, a, w, u are all used daily by me.

They are:
* f - forward char
* b - back char
* h - backspace
* d - delete
* e - end of line
* a - start of line
* w - delete word left
* u - delete line left
"Actual science" tends to move towards empiricism, not theory-building. See for example the evidence-based medicine movement, or effective altruism.

Besides that–how is what you're proposing different from the status quo? Every social program ever was born from a theory, i. e. "education creates agency, and is therefore a better investment than direct money grants".

It just happens to be a lot more difficult to run randomised experiments in sociology, because it is (by definition) the study of very large, interconnected systems. Societies just don't lend themselves to the sort of reductionism that gave us all the advances in physics and mathematics.

Hi Tostino, please let us know how things work.

Regarding compression: While we haven't yet built in any native compression, we regularly run on ZFS and typically get 3-4x compression using that. (Plus with ZFS, insert rates are actually a bit faster, at least when using a single disk (often 25%). It's definitely something to consider.)

Another thing to consider is that Timescale supports easy data retention policies, which can also vary by hypertable (i.e., keep raw data for 1 month, aggregated data for 1 year).

It also supports many disks per server, either via RAID or through Postgres' tablespace. But now you can have multiple tablespaces in a single "hypertable", rather than just one like normal. So especially in cloud settings, it's pretty easy to just add more and more disks to even a single machine.
So essentially a muffler bypass valve? You can buy aftermarket valves like this from Summit Racing and JEGS - they aren't expensive, they come in a variety of styles (full manual where you have to unbolt them underneath the car, manual-actuated by a cable, electric actuated by a motor, and one company makes a "stealth" version).

Seems about right:

"Over the vehicle’s lifetime, however, the global warming emissions benefits of driving on electricity far outweigh the emissions costs of vehicle manufacturing; most EVs “pay back” their production emissions within one or two years of driving, a period that will shorten as electricity grids get cleaner.

Read more about manufacturing emissions in our in-depth analysis of life cycle EV emissions, "Cleaner from Cradle to Grave" (2015)."

I wouldn't be surprised if nuclear is expensive solely because it's ostracized.

The moment it becomes unfashionable to bash it is the moment R&D can drive the cost down, as in every other area of technology.
What counts is LCOE not just build cost.

But you're right that somehow we lost ability to build nuclear power stations without going over budget several times.
You're looking at capital cost. The plants last a very long time and have low operating costs, so the kWh cost is fairly low.

Playing around with Google's tool without changing any defaults, I'm able to get lower carbon emissions at the same cost by setting the nuclear level to the minimum demand, compared to using lots of wind/solar and filling up all the rest with gas.
No, but over the long run, no betting system can guarantee a positive return. If you run enough simulations, you will inevitably lose. The Wizard of Odds[1] did a great piece on this and it's definitely worth a read.
