Fuel sourcing and disposal is a small part of the cost.

Edit: a projected cost breakdown for Hinkley Point C! https://www.nao.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Hinkley-Po... (figure 2)

So fuel is not inconsiderable; 6.2bn "fuel costs", 1.8 "fuel management", 2.6 "fuel disposal". From a total of £54.8 bn.

Add 10-50% to actual construction and decommissioning costs for overruns.
Hey, thanks :)

I didn't know this came crashing down so hard. To me it was just another strange TV-shopping software product that nobody wanted and so it didn't sell. I was 16 and Windows was all I knew at that time.
The other comments on here about having multiple accounts for businesses can be a little tricky as some banks will not open a second business account if you already have done opened with someone else. e.g I had Lloyds business bank, tried Metro bank but they refused to open until I could prove Lloyds was closed.

I wonder what the reasoning behind that is. Surely if I wanted to move my company's banking facilities from one bank to another, I'd need to make sure the new facilities were open and working, run both in parallel for a few weeks while clients paid outstanding invoices and the like, and then close down the old ones once everything was using the updated details? If Metro won't open a new account until you can prove that you've already closed down the old one, how many businesses ever transfer to Metro?!
Having unfortunately needed hospitals in Calgary, Vancouver, and Toronto; I can tell you that a 45 minute wait for anything (including scheduled appointments!) would be a near miracle. It's nice that 45 minutes is what you get in Yukon, glad it works there. :- )

I'm still waiting to be called by a specialist for something I ran out of my prescription for two months ago. They simply never scheduled what they said they would schedule. I had to call the ER one week after the fact to get them to actually fax the request to the specialist, because they neglected to; then I had to call the specialist to acknowledge the fax, and after all that I still haven't received a call from them. I ended up researching the condition and treating myself, but I could have been wrong and done more damage; pharmaceuticals could also have been a safer approach.

In Calgary waits were a bit better, only about 3 hours instead of 4-5; but I needed stitches both times I went to an ER there.

The condition of the healthcare system is not for lack of trying, my own mother worked at hospitals for most of my childhood, and I know plenty of people who work in medicine; they all seem to try their best, but the chronic lack of oversight/accountability and lack of competition means that things just continue to fester. It's frankly amazing that we've survived this long and this well without a private system.
We are at a critical point in defining what VR will become.

It would be sad if VR just makes humankind even more addicted to consuming passive entertainment, or something that you "scan in", or a better youtube video. We therefore set out to make cinematic VR a more active experience.

We believe VR can become something that helps us be more present in the moment, that fuels our imagination, that boosts our creativity. We believe in making interactive cinematic VR into something that everyone can handcraft with care, like the art of photography of videography. We believe in marrying the art of the old medias with VR and with code. The code added into your live tour becomes portable across all platforms, thanks to WebVR.

There are billion dollar companies with proprietary solutions in this space, but we felt nothing good enough. We believe that with the power of open source, it can be done. If you like it, please contribute, or support by starring the repo. Thank you!

I disagree. Remember those visitor counters on most hobbyist websites from back in the day? Facebook likes are, are their core, that.

It's basically herd mentality.
As a company director, you have a legal responsibility to pay your bills, knowing you cannot (because your bank account is frozen) means technically you are in breach and trading insolvent which is an offence (criminal?)

At 5’11” and 165lbs, Woo doesn’t need to lose weight, although he did drop 12lbs over the week.

12 lbs of fat in one week is 7000 Calories/day. Either he had crazy ketonuria (and was literally pissing away calories) or he was significantly dehydrated by the end of the week.

If you're planning on fasting, make sure you stay hydrated. Between the water content of food and the habit of drinking at meals, we get far more water from meals than most people realize; cutting that out without compensating is not healthy.
It's true that software differs from many Physical Engineering practices too, but why does this automatically make "craft" appropriate? Are Mathematicians called craftsmen because there is no physical output to their efforts?

> We create programs custom built for a purpose, using rules of thumb and our own aesthetic instincts

Software can be general too, it's not the same as, say, making a small stool or chair. Plus, craftsmen are tied to physical constraints too, much like engineers. I'm not sure I agree with how much s/w depends on "rules of thumb and our own aesthetic instincts" though.
To be honest I'm really not following your position here. Who is the victim and who is the attacker, and how does that respond to my point?

Apologies for not making it clear, the pens I have are quite nice to write with. I recommend them quite heavily for anyone that does not care for standard pens you get most anywhere else.

Are there easy to get high quality pens elsewise? Probably. But these really are good entry level pens that give me delight to use.
I think it's partly a problem of scale.

When you become a target of abuse - or mass criticism or what have you - you're dealing with hundreds or thousands or higher orders of tweets to deal with.

Often more than enough to drown out the positive, because detractors are so often more vocal than supporters.

That can be very flustering on a site with a small linear feed. Individually blocking people doesn't scale.

Block lists kind of help but they're a brute force solution and we can all see the problems and edge cases from that solution.

It's cynical, but perhaps there is a market opportunity there.

It just seems strange that Twitter hasn't come up with something significant in that vein.
After reading this thread I had to read this [1], which I found helpful in understanding the discussion. I think in some cases it is just more natural to write microservices but at the end of the day if done right the end user won't really know the difference, it's all just SOA(?)

Indeed. PDF.js works for simple PDFs but once you start adding complex layouts, big images, vector graphics, etc, the experience becomes horrible on mediocre hardware. At least the last time I evaluated it.

Isn't Java the safest language in that regard? The JVM is one of the few VMs I know with so many viable alternatives, both open and closed. The Google vs Oracle suit also means that they couldn't reattempt a similar claim, if it already went through all courts and list. Also, you'd be taken care of by IBM, Amazon and all the other massively dependent on JVM companies. So an alternative would probably present itself without you needing to spend a dime.

Other VMs are at similar risks, but would have less opposition, and no existing viable replacement.

It feels as though Twitter has a vested interest in making its network seem as active as possible, irrespective of quality of interaction. In a way, Twitter's userbase appears like a captive audience - they've no desire to leave, no matter how bad it gets. Oddly masochistic in a way.
>I recently tried to set up Fedora running a VNC or RDP server, and after a couple of days of futzing I gave up. I guess Wayland has managed to regress on that from where X was a decade ago?

According the Wayland FAQ [1] they have specifically avoided defining a remote API.

[Q]: Is Wayland network transparent / does it support remote rendering?

[A]: No, that is outside the scope of Wayland. To support remote rendering you need to define a rendering API, which is something I've been very careful to avoid doing. The reason Wayland is so simple and feasible at all is that I'm sidestepping this big task and pushing it to the clients. It's an interesting challenge, a very big task and it's hard to get right, but essentially orthogonal to what Wayland tries to achieve.

Which leaves you using Spice, or older solutions like X+VNC. Check out Apache's incubator project Guacamole [2] if you'd like a solution that can stream a Linux or Windows desktop to a browser via HTML 5; it supports SSH, Telnet, RDP and VNC. And despite supporting those older protocols it integrates with LDAP or CAS [3] for external authentication along with DUO for two-factor authentication.

The post you originally responded to didn't seem to "count" anything, so what is your point in mentioning this? It was a idea with not much worth, as yet, but your own response has as little worth, but less potential.

It seems you just negged them for no reason.
Credit scores depend in part on the ratio of your credit balances vs. available credit. So in that sense, closing an account can reduce your credit score since you now have less available credit.

I don't know how much impact it has, certainly less than late payments or accounts in collections, but it can have some effect.
Oh my, this brings back memories that still impact me today. Growing up, finding that perfect pen was sort of a hobby and artform. I suppose part of it was growing up in the 90s, trying to do Pen & Ink drawing, calligraphy, and writing all day. The current analog is searching for the perfect keyboard. While wasteful on first blush, it truly is the most utilitarian decision you can make when measured for optimizing tools.

There really is something horrible about cheap pens, and nothing is worse than a pen that looks expensive yet writes cheaply... for those who don't know what I'm talking about, when lines matter, little things like skipping, shaking, and uneven lines become massive aggravations, no matter how minute they seem to a casual observer.

With all that said, I'm not so into writing implements that I'd want to drop hundreds or thousands of dollars on a pen. I'd need a lot more convincing to believe that extra money is worth it.

I still like the article.
They probably don't care. All they needed was that aspect covered so that things like ChromeOS could have the functionality. They went for the guaranteed to work solution rather than reinvent the wheel. Okay, the more developed solution.
I do not remember seeing PDF documents when I was last buying Google hardware, my impression is that Google don't see a future in the format, it is mere printer driver to them, not where the party is at.

+1 for the Lamy Safari. It's an excellent writer, and if you lose one (an everyday hazard with an everyday pen), it's going to have cost you about 20 USD.

See also Sailor and TWSBI for good everyday fountain pens.
It may be regulation resistant or it may prove to not be. But the point is people go into it with the expectation that it is designed to try to achieve this property, and they're free to avoid any perceived risks of a regulation resistant industry by remaining in the traditional financial market. This greatly reduces the moral justification of imposing regulations on this space.

We also disagree on the economic causes of events like the Great Depression.

Also I did mention we could bring back an option to voluntarily cede one's own freedom, for those that don't want to bear the responsibility of living with the consequences of their own bad decisions, so I don't think our disagreement is exactly how you've characterised it. It's more like we disagree on whether we should prevent people from having the option to live freely.
How would this be disputed?
This is strongly dependent on the legal entity the OP has chosen to do business with the bank. For some of those there is no coverage, for others the coverage is the same as if the account is a private account. Typically as soon as you incorporate things change but it is very well possible that a small company that is not incorporated (basically an individual trading as a company or freelancer) does have deposit insurance.

Regardless it is good practice to know exactly what the state of affairs of your bank accounts are and to really spend some time to read the fine print regarding balances and what will happen to them if the bank should go under or cease operations for whatever reason.

In NL by the way DNB will guarantee business accounts as well.

True, but nuclear energy has two important benefits. It has a stable output (so you don't have to invest in energy storage) and it takes up much less space (so it doesn't visually disrupt the landscape as much).
> made everything harder to debug

It's not harder, it's just different. As a counterpoint, I never figured out how sysvinit works and got by with guesswork and Stack Overflow answers. And I hated how logs were scattered all over the place. Nowadays you have systemctl(1) and journalctl(1) which are exceptionally well-documented in their manpages, and now services and logs work the same all the time across all distros.

(Not going to argue about journald's weird binary log format though. I don't get that. But at least it doesn't get in the way for me.)
If Musk was trying to change the world for the better, he wouldn't have done that thing with the worker's childbirth leave.
I can't believe that Lamy Safari is still on market. I used mine up to Abitur (German A-levels) and must have bought it almost 20 years ago. By the end of grammar school I found Online Rollerball, which is a ballpoint pen with standard ink and ink cartridges. I still buy the latter from time to time.

As for ballpoint pens, during stays in Japan I accumulated a small collection of multi-color ballpoint pens with extra thin tips, most of them from Mitsubishi. Small sketches and notes tend to look a bit tidier and the thin Japanese pens made for kanji writing are superior for this. Also changing colors is quite nice for note-taking.
But this isn't some intractable problem. For aerospace and critical infrastructure projects, for example, there is plenty of meticulously written and audited high-quality code developed at higher cost in response to the demand created by legal requirements.
It's to make structuring harder. Of course it is perfectly well possible to have multiple business accounts, no need for you to inform them of your other accounts with other banks (and privacy laws may forbid banks from sharing this information). I have accounts with both Rabo and ABN/AMRO at the moment and nothing would stop me from adding a third or even a fourth bank if I wanted to.
What's the best metric Twitter can use to say they're doing well? It's number of users. So fake users improve their rankings, and their "performance".

Today I posted a tweet, I received 12 "likes". 9 were from profiles created this month, with no profile details, no picture, and content which was 100% retweets. Fake users.
For those skimming comments: it's the ICO (new crypto-currency) crackdown, not a crackdown on crypto algorithms or implementations.

I sense a trend to call cryptocurrencies just "crypto", hence the word "crypto" is at risk of losing its (original) meaning. I'm afraid this is going to become another hacker/cracker type of situation...
This is essentially what an ORM does, e.g. SQLAlchemy [1]. Except instead of providing a slightly nicer API to generate query strings, an ORM tends to be more tied to the host language and use its object system to abstract out most of the SQL complexity and make declaring SQL tables/queries look like normal operations on the data themselves instead of the database. Django's ORM [2] for example autogenerates joins for you under certain query conditions, which is super handy.

This is correct, and similar legislation exists in many other jurisdictions. It is one reason why you want to be somewhat careful with who you bank with.
Traditional nuclear plants are simply too expensive to build.

They are not competitive, and haven't been for decades if I'm not mistaken.

It's not impossible that a new design could be cheaper, but figuring in both development, test, and time for industrialization, we're probably at least 20 years from that. Meanwhile, both PV and wind are falling in price from industrialization.
