The headline is misleading, they haven't approved the design yet. However, they've been able to certify that the reactor does not need a certain standard of backup power supply and electrical circuitry due to the passive safety features of the design. This standard essentially requires that nuclear power plants have a connection to the grid and an on site backup generator to safety systems that are on completely separate circuits from the nuclear power plant electrical generation systems.

Not having to do this makes it cheaper for NuScale to deploy powerplants. And it also makes it easier for them to build powerplants in remote places where a connection to the electrical grid is not available[0].

No, clearly not. The mistake you're making is assuming everyone will be affected equally.

What would actually happen is some people would get burned, badly and forever, by the lack of privacy (or openness, as you call it). Everyone else will either live in fear of the possibility or go about ignorantly assuming it'll never happen to them.

There's value in being able to put your past mistakes behind you or being able to keep information from those who would do you harm.
The only programming I want to do is artisanal. (That sounds really...something, but I'll leave it there.)

I'm glad to work with other people, but it feels like the past ten years or so have strains of collectivism trying to crowd out the artisanal aspect because social or whatever. I'm sure part of it is the enormous incidental complexity brought on by the web.

The was a pretty good discussion yesterday in /r/cyberpunk about the possible consequences of this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Cyberpunk/comments/7sexm6/deepfakes...

> The subreddit /r/Deepfakes became very active very fast and new deepfakes are submitted every day with varying degrees of realism. The most scary part is that ANYONE can be deepfaked, not just celebrities. Provided you have the right hardware (because neural networks demand beefy video cards for training) you could train a model of your friend and paste her face onto a porn video and boom. All you have to do is download a browser extension that downloads all photos from someone's instagram and work from there. Nobody is safe from this.

" It can destroy all human civilization."

I think saying stuff like this should be avoided. There is almost no chance that civilization will be destroyed. There will be major problems but the world won't go under. By making up total doom scenarios credibility of climate change proponents goes down a lot in my view.
Couple questions...

I’ve read that Bromelain (from Pineapples) can help with sinus inflammation. Is there any indication about Turmeric helping with sinus inflammation?

Silly question...is “inflammation” one thing? As in do brain inflammation and sinus inflammation go together?

Finally, any resources on reducing inflammation generally?
"Comb building may be better explained by the competing hypothesis of stigmergy, which holds that appropriate building behaviour is stimulated by previous construction. That is, each builder works according to an algorithm that tells her what to do when she encounters a structure at a particular stage of development. Her actions advance the structure to a new form that in turn stimulates the appropriate next step, either by her or by the next worker to encounter the building site."

When my friend say they bought Bitcoin and forgot about it they are talking like 2 or 3 BTC.
> Transmute is like, the most unsafe thing possible.

Yes, the first rule of auditing Rust unsafe blocks is that if you see someone using std::mem::transmute, you walk over and ask the author if they're really certain what they're doing. :) However, it should be noted that std::mem::transmute still has some guard rails; the real "most unsafe thing possible" is the variant of this function that does away with those guard rails: std::mem::transmute_copy.

> becoming "100% competitor-focused" and said the company "can no longer innovate."

I understand that from a nowadays developer perspective, innovation is held in high regard and rightfully so. However, NO ONE can innovate constantly and forever. A competition race such as the cloud pricing Google vs. Amazon he mentioned is actually a good thing for customers from a economic standpoint. At some point, all companies have to slow down innovation and focus more on competitions and it's not necessarily a bad thing. That usually means refining existing products, rethinking strategies, retiring things that do not work and expanding to a new market space with a "me too" product (a "me too" product is a common strategy to tread new territory with relatively low risk).

We're not special

With big brains and tools, humans can live in a much broader set of environmental conditions than any other species. While it doesn't make us extinction-proof, it makes us pretty hardy. It is hard to imagine what would destroy all the ecological niches that humans could survive in.

I would bet on the humans.

"...But we were not on a station platform. We were on the track ahead as the nightmare plastic column of foetid black iridescence oozed tightly onward through its fifteen-foot sinus; gathering unholy speed and driving before it a spiral, re-thickening cloud of the pallid abyss-vapour. It was a terrible, indescribable thing vaster than any subway train—a shapeless congeries of protoplasmic bubbles, faintly self-luminous, and with myriads of temporary eyes forming and unforming as pustules of greenish light all over the tunnel-filling front that bore down upon us, crushing the frantic penguins and slithering over the glistening floor that it and its kind had swept so evilly free of all litter. Still came that eldritch, mocking cry—“Tekeli-li! Tekeli-li!” And at last we remembered that the daemoniac shoggoths—given life, thought, and plastic organ patterns solely by the Old Ones, and having no language save that which the dot-groups expressed—had likewise no voice save the imitated accents of their bygone masters."
In my current model for a distributed video service, peers gain "premium" bandwidth rights in exchange for storing videos, modulated by view count.

Plenty of users would store popular videos to chase after premiums, but it will be similarly profitable for a handful or so of people to host the less popular videos because there will be less competition for views (which are in turn modulated by the amount of data for a video you contributed to a given P2P stream).

This solves the problem of obscure but useful content being phased out.

But how do you actually know if these Ayurvedic practices work without the rigorous trial and error that "Western" science demands? Unless I'm mistaken, the Ayurvedic texts do not contain repeatable evidence of the efficacy of the treatments described within them, nor do they describe plausible explanations of how those treatments work.

Whatever truths are contained in Ayurvedic texts are accidental unless they were arrived at by some sort of experimentation, and they're mixed in with a lot of nonsense which "Western" science is attempting to sift through. Along with proving the potency of some Ayurvedic treatments, science is also DISproving that of many others, which means that it's not "catching up" with Ayurvedic so much as catching it, shining a bright light on it, and asking it much tougher questions than anybody thought to ask before.

No. For 3 Reasons.

1. The 30% number was for memory, not depression.

2. Also it says that it may "ease" depression, not eliminate it. So you would still have the roughly the same numbers of depressed people, but they may rate their depression slightly lower.

3. The definition of depression might be slightly different in a different country, so even a basic sanity check is still going to need to look at individual subjects and evaluate depression levels before and after turmeric treatment.
I'm curious if the various ways American's and America spends it's money and consumes its good is factored into U.S. emissions.

Does the carbon it takes to produce an iphone and then ship it here count? What about all the fuel/power used by military bases abroad? Does our purchasing of Foreign cars count?
The former. At our current consumption levels/technology, we are obviously above our planet's current carrying capacity.

This is not controversial. We are living on borrowed time - our civilization currently relies on the consumption of non-renewable resources, and the non-sustainable consumption of renewable resources.

Even if this is sustainable for 10, 20, or 100 years, it is not sustainable for longer time horizons.

The resilience of humanity may actually be inversely proportional to its population.

Yonatan Zunger, of Google, writing nearly five years ago, tossed out a fact that's stuck with me since: the response of "large animal" populations to global temperature changes:

"When the biota of a planet get rewritten, the creatures that require the most delicate maintenance die first. This tends to mean really big creatures, that rely on large supplies of their foods; apex predators, which rely on the entire food chain beneath them; and "canary" species like many frogs, which are very sensitive and tend to be the first to die when something is going wrong. Historically, the cutoff for "large creatures" (that tend to not survive extinction events) seems to be in the ballpark of 20 pounds; things bigger than that just require the ecosystem to be too healthy."

That immediately following:

"The last big spike like this was the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, about 55 million years ago. Average temperatures rose by 6C over a period of 20,000 years -- which is enough to look like a giant, sharp spike on the history-of-the-entire-planet graph."

We're on track to temperature changes of roughly that order of magnitude, and almost certainly in a far shorter period of time -- a few centuries, perhaps less.

Thanks for your comprehensive answer.

I guess it's a matter of perspective whether you like the procedural Web (the developer/creative perspective) or not (the perspective of the consumer who gets all kinds of scripts for tracking, mining, fishing, and other nefarious purposes, all the while not being able to save something for later reading).

I have no doubt JavaScript was absolutely necessary to develop the Web to the point it is today. But I had hoped that development of HTML (the markup language) would keep up to eventually provide declarative means to achieve some of what only JavaScript can do, by sort of consolidating UI idioms and practices based on experience gained from JavaScript. But by and large this hasn't happened.

What has happened instead is that JavaScript-first development has taken over the Web since about 2010 (I like react myself when it's a good fit, so I'm not saying this as a grumpy old man or something). And today there's no coherent vision as to what the Web should be; there's no initiative left to drive the Web forward, except for very few parties/monopolies who benefit from the Web's shortcomings (in terms of privacy, lack of security, it's requirement of a Turing-complete scripting environment for even the most basic UI tasks etc).

Same here. A while I ago I wrote a pretty complex app for test management alone with WPF in a few months. With synchronization to a server database, lots of concurrency and a lot of other stuff. Talked to users about their needs and came up with a design. Then two of us ported it to a web in a few months.

Now I have to lead development of a site that pretty much does simple CRUD and between offshore devs, proofs of concept, approvals, other teams in the corp, spec writing and reporting to management 10 devs will develop something that's technically inferior and ugly in more time. It's very frustrating.
