>Only waste that no longer requires cooling can be moved underground.

Thats the point though. It should be moved into long term storage after that and not stay in the pool that needs to be cooled.

Transporting is not the issue you make it out to be. Transport on trains has been a regular spectacle for decades in Europe, especially between La Hague and German nuclear power plants and the storage site in Gorleben.

They are transported in nuclear flasks ("Castor" in German) under tight security measures in slow speed across extra checked railways lines. That takes a while, especially if every time ten thousands of protesters blockade the shipment and there is sabotage of the rail bed. All of that makes these transports extremely expensive.

You of course cant simply put them in normal freight trains or simply dont put them in storage at all. In the best case you have to move them once the plant gets dismantled which simply makes the final costs higher.

Nuclear power ignores most of those costs today and simply lets the public pay the bill in the end. To be a competitive power source the production price needs to also include the budget for waste management, which includes:

* Transport of nuclear waste

* Final storage of nuclear waste

* Cleanup of the power plant

This is not the case in most countries which makes nuclear power a highly subsidized energy source. The problem of final storage alone is an absolute nightmare, Germany realized their Morsleben and Asse II radioactive waste repositories were not suited for storage after all. Asse II has lost stability, became flooded and is at threat of collapse. It now has to be decommissioned, which includes a complete dig out.

1. It’s not a “nominal” government, but the actual one.

2. The use of chemical weapons by Syrian government has never been proven. Moreover, it has no incentive whatsoever to use them.

3. Iran is not a democracy, partial or otherwise. Ayatollah decides everything.
Cool! Yeah, I agree architecture often sucks in practice. I was not even a good fit. I was way too engineer / pragmatically minded, and I have a good bit of disdain for superficiality.

You might notice that you're much better than your programmer peers at actual software architecture. Organising the software into some sort of structure or hierarchy that makes sense.

Though after a while you might also realise that its better to avoid explicit structure in your software, if you can.
If you try and really actually implement the fundamentals in your code all the time (tiny classes, tiny methods, avoid coupling, avoid duplication) your work will be very pleasant.
Firstly, it's been years not months ;)

And no. We can't just stop talking about it, clearly. Some of us feel this is the issue (who controls the flow of information) that will decide all other issues moving forward.

How about you vote with your "feet" and go find some other online forum where you can converse with your fellow defeatists? Oh, you like this place and want to stay? Maybe you love it and are invested and want to fight for it? I see.
Well, it seems interesting that when David Bowie asked the same question to one of MTV's veejays, his answer was more about the sensibilities of the viewers than the lack of supply:

“We have to try and do what we think not only New York and Los Angeles will appreciate, but also Poughkeepsie or the Midwest. Pick some town in the Midwest which would be scared to death by … a string of other black faces, or black music.”

Which is more like saying, "we're not racists, we just have to appease racists to make our profits".

Static typed languages are harder to test. So if you do cover 100% dynamic is not so bad. However well built static languages reduce the things that need to be tested in the first place. Like non-nullabilty in Kotlin and Swift.

> You're attempting to treat lobbying as a binary. Does it make logical sense that Walmart would spend $7M if it didn't feel that investment had a return?

Would Walmart spend only $7 million on lobbying if the return was so crazy high as you’re assuming it is?

> If you're talking about the gap between $7m and $.5T, that dataoid demonstrates nothing other than that multinational retailers operate much larger firms than politicians do.

Price doesn’t relate to size of firm or cost, but rather supply and demand. Under your theory, where lobbying is instrumental in keeping a $500 billion business from being out competed, demand should be high. At the same time, with a very limited number of Congress critters, supply is limited. That should push up the price as other firms bid to secure the supposed benefits Walmart now gets.
Escape key, siri button, densed keyboard keys, and unreasonably huge trackpad are the things that made me switch.

I disabled siri button... a few weeks later apple released an update and siri is back ... just before my important call. My anxienty level is to the roof.
It's unfortunately understandable that this behavior would evolve, culturally if not biologically. Because of our reproductive systems, men are incentivized to play the numbers game and women to invest in created offspring.

That said, I agree it's a shame when it actually plays out that way and our society as a whole (and even fathers in modern society) lose out.

Thinkpads are very popular
When did I mention dating? I was clearly talking about work culture. 30 years from now you will most likely find that the trendy work culture of the present would be a dated old way of doing things. Change is inevitable. My whole point was to promote cultural diversity, so that if someone shows up in a black suite and ties and prefers a cubicle over an open office space then the people who entered the work force wearing sandals and shorts to work should be accomodating as he should accomodate their views -- so long as none of this gets in the way.

Aegism in silicon valley is a chronic problem, are you saying it doesn't exist or are you claiming "culture fit" isn't used to push out older workers at some companies?
Windows is out of the question for a lot of devs that live in the Unix shell. Sure, I could run a Linux VM or dual boot, but those aren't very pleasant experience.
I’m not an English native speaker, and as such it always seemed interesting to me that the money a person owns is expressed as “X is worth $amount” (ex: “Bezos is worth $131 billion”). It’s like it doesn’t matter if that person is good or bad, if he/she is actually interested in being more on the “good” side of things instead of the “bad” one, all it matters when judging a person is his/her bank account.
Advanced and Helpful Programming Online Courses (Paid or Even Free?)
Is there a good website with paid (subscription or per course) model where you can really learn advances programming skills? Are they worth the money?

I found some examples:

* Pluralsight
* SitePoint
* Udemy

What about free alternatives? Are they (more) useful?

Maybe?

* MIT Open CoursWare

Or any other?

Are you using such?

Do you have such subscription, maybe provided by your employer?

I've been using my Samsung Chromebook Plus for about a year now, and the answer is a fairly clear: no.

Everything about it is just sluggish and laggy. The opposite of snappy. This is compounded by the fact that the AWS and GCP web interfaces I spend a lot of time in aren't exactly lightweight, but that's the work. The SSH client is similarly just ever so slightly off.

In terms of just compatibility pains, don't even think about trying to print from the thing. Also, the copy/paste mechanics are probably not wrong per-se but just odd enough that I'm constantly frustrated by getting it wrong. Lastly, tons of basic stuff is just a hoop to jump through now, like setting up an adblocker or using a basic text editor. I can't even imagine how hard a full IDE would drag.

Bear in mind this is the "plus" (arm) not the "pro" (x86). So maybe a Pixelbook with its full-i5 would get over the hurdle, but I guess my overall takeaway would be if your'e going to try a Chromebook make it an $800 one not a $450 one.
EDIT: US donors can find a place to donate here https://www.redcross.org/give-blood. Almost every modern country has a “where to donate” website.

Long-time A+ donor here, not as long. Platelets donation takes time and uses a large needle, but can be done every week. Whole blood uses a smaller needle and can be done every 8 weeks. Private blood donation clinics tend to have better snacks and shiny new everything. Stanford’s main blood donation center was adequate but unremarkable last time I was there.
The stakes for Eurovision are about as low as a doorstop. If someone cares about it as much as they do about national elections, well quite frankly they deserve the opportunity to buy the vote :) there’s worse things people can obsess about.

It’s a game, it’s a show. Technically, so are politics, but so far Eurovision has not cost any human lives, nor have pensions evaporated. To my knowledge.

Then again, judging by the reaction of some people, that might change soon :)
I'm so deeply confused right now that I thought this thread was a joke but now I'm thinking its not.

I'm in the state that shall not be named on the other side of the world from California but when I go to tech meet ups, 90% of the room is running Ubuntu/Linux Mint or some other variety with a sprinkling of Macbooks.

Is it seriously that different? What do the Starbucks around that area look like?

> This is opinion. It works for some people, but for others, part of communication is body language and being near someone. It's actually science. These "non-verbal" communication indicators are not as well communicated through a telepresence.

Judging by your questions it sounds like you want an adventure and excitement in your life. You will get it all with the chromebook. You will be able to do everything with it. At the same time you will encounter issues that others havent yet. You will be on your own to solve them due to the low popularity of Chromebooks.
I don't understand though, most streamers get their donations via third-party platforms already (streamlabs etc). Are they bypassing as well? As a matter of fact, Twitch just recently added a native ways to accept donations (bits).

There are no editors that can reliably deliver type information. The ones that come closest (PyCharm and YouCompleteMe) are otherwise very poor editors and resource hogs (the former) or nearly impossible to set up correctly (the latter). And neither is of any use when I'm reviewing someone's code on Github or debugging over ssh.

> Or if you write a program that is contained in 1 to 5 files top. Not use for types.

Types are definitely _useful_ for small programs, but you're right that they're not _necessary_ to the degree that they are for larger programs.

> And you most likely copy a snipet from the doc anyway.

This... is not the kind of programming I do. Although it may explain a lot about our difference of opinion on the topic.

> But let's be real, most functions in Python are named pretty explicitly, and return things that you expect like "iterable of numbers" or "file like object yielding utf8".

Ah yes, the get_values_as_iterable_of_numbers() function. :) Let's be real, virtually _no_ functions are named this way, and even if they were, the typing syntax is surely a better way of facilitating this information. More importantly, it still doesn't tell us anything about the types or number of the arguments. Lots of popular Python libraries (Pandas, Matplotlib) take ridiculous combinations of arguments (two strings and an int sometimes, but other times its an int and a float and a file handle, and if it's called on a Tuesday in April then you can omit all int args). If they had to appease a type checker, these libraries would certainly be much more usable.

> But they come at a cost and it's a good thing to be able to choose.

There are tradeoffs in many areas of programming, but typing is a clear win. Specifically, what is the cost you mention? The type checker won't let your type documentation grow stale? Or perhaps it makes it hard to write clumsy signatures like those in Pandas and Matplotlib?

Many seem to have the illusion that if you use unsafe in Rust, bad things can only happen in the unsafe blocks.

This is wrong. If your unsafe block fails to maintain the required safety guarantees (I personally don't know what they are), then the safe code could break terribly as well. And figuring out which unsafe block is the culprit can be really hard too.
A few months ago my Macbook Pro screen cracked while I was on a road trip. I thought I was screwed, but decided to try development on a Chromebook I had lying around.

That was when I discovered AWS Cloud 9. After getting back my repaired fully maxed out latest model Macbook Pro, I have not even bothered to restore the hard drive. Developing on Cloud 9 has been wonderful. Having everything already in the cloud in a production-like environment has enormous advantages. Sure there are things I occasionally may miss or be unable to do on a Chromebook, though this has surprisingly not been an issue yet. The only Mac app I've wanted to use is Sketch.

I have since upgraded to a Pixelbook, which has a gorgeous screen and a superior keyboard to a Macbook Pro. Touch screens with tablet mode make a computer enormously more versatile, serving as a tablet and media platform. If I lose or damage my Chromebook, I can continue development seemlessly on any computer, and log in to any Chromebook to recover my environment. Not having a $3000 laptop that I need to protect with my life, knowing that if I lose everything nothing is lost, is very liberating.

I'm now transitioning off of iOS because of the lack of iMessage and the general pointlessness of using an iPhone with a Chromebook. Perhaps the biggest annoyance with iOS devices now is the disastrous Lightning connector, which adds so much complication to my cable environment. With a Pixel 2, I basically just need a few similar wall chargers and USB-C cables rather than a tangle of converters and cables.

Surprising myself, I am now basically committed to a future on Chrome OS and Google's ecosystem. My only regret is not supporting Apple's respect for privacy, which is a substantial regret. I can only hope our Google and perhaps government some day will adopt Apple's ethical standards around privacy.

Anyone want to buy a Macbook Pro? It really is a beautiful machine. I just don't seem to need it anymore.

There's no general answer for this question.

I cannot develop on web IDEs or on a box with only 16G RAM. Some others can. I need to be able to run many containerised service locally, others might only need a node.js instance.

Depends on what you do. It's like asking whether a motorbike is suitable for your daily work. If you're a pizza delivery boy then yes. If you are transporting heavy machinery, then no.
No, this occurs at the telco level. When a call is placed, only the number is sent. The receiving exchange must look up that number to get the name, and that lookup costs some fraction of a cent. This is why Caller ID with name costs extra money.
I never tried to constrain "freedom" in research. Freedom in research is crucial: With a good researcher, often only they have a good sense of the promise of their research direction. And, they are the one making a bet: If their research is soon good, then, modulo academic politics, they make progress in their academic career, e.g., maybe get to upgrade their 20 year old used Mazda to a 10 year old used Toyota and celebrate with a toast of tap water!!!

If current academic AI research is too close to non-academic problems, okay, I can believe that but see little downside since I have no respect for 90+% of current AI work anyway.

Net, contact with non-academic problems is crucial for STEM fields but with bad work can be abused. Of course it can be abused, special case of the general situation that nearly anything can be abused.

I spent a lot of time in STEM field academics: My considered, solid, well informed opinion is that there is far too little contact with important non-academic problems. E.g., when I went from Director of Operations Research at FedEx to graduate school in applied math, I brought with me a nice collection of important practical problems. In casual conversations, as I described some of those problems, even very pure research profs took detailed notes furiously. When I was an applied math prof in a B-school and MBA program, there were nearly no people from business in the halls with pressing problems looking for solutions, and that situation was really bad for the the business people, the students, the faculty, faculty research, and the B-school.

The suspicion has to be strong that if a research-teaching hospital were run like a B-school, then the physicians and researchers would be off studying the possibilities of silicon-based life on the planet Faraway, no one would know even how to dress a skinned knee, there would be no progress on any of the major, pressing medical problems, e.g., heart disease, cancer, and no one would want to go to a hospital no matter how badly they hurt.
>I know this is somewhat SF utopian but I keep banging on about "MOOP" - massive open online psychology. the idea that we are monitored day in day out by our phones, listening to us and our interactions, the actual useful data that could be extracted about our psychology, our behaviour and how to improve it is immense (yes the risks huge - but that's why it should be open)

>Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.
Based on my business trips to the SF Bay area, it's seriously Apple land over there.

Yup. Isn't playing prerecorded presentations standard operating procedure, to minimize risk of angering the demo gods? Doing a live demo is a really strong show of confidence.

Besides, tech demos are carefully crafted and not a honest evaluation of technology anyway.
I second this recommendation. I have been dual booting Ubuntu for many years on my gaming PC's and recently bought a pre made Ubuntu machine from Dell. The least fun I ever have when installing a new machine is trying to get my fucking three monitors working the way they should.

The Dell laptop plug and played into my (not thunderbolt, wd15 or something dock) and all three monitors were literally plug and play. It felt like Windows again and blew me away.

Please note that I said mainstream.

That’s not a slight against the language — they were focused on other goals — but for a long time the conventional wisdom was that it was interesting for CS research and learning but not normal application development whereas you could get quite a lot of work done reasonably in Python at least one decade, probably two, earlier.
