1. No. The current bulk of research focuses on this pathway because d-t is both energetically favorable, and occurs at lower temps than other energetically favorable pathways. Tritium is a key component of fusion as it is currently studied in many, but not all cases and is the most likely first reaction. If you had said that the bulk of current research focuses on d-t, I’d agree, but it’s definotely not “nuclear fusion as we know it.” D-3He is a thing, not to mention stellar fusion which we certainly won’t create in a power plant, but we do know about it.

2. No, although the kinds of reactors being dreamed of in the “short” long term do fit this bill. Again, the much more difficult to manage (not to mention fuel) D-3He reaction is aneutronic, and doesn’t require a breeding blanket. Another difficult reaction would be p-7Li, although the fuel would be easier to come by. I’m not claiming that we’re remotely capable of harnessing these reactions, but it’s important to point out that they exist. A high neutron flux, and the need for Trtium are not inherent to fusion in general.

3. A bigger issue would be sputtering from the neutrons and He infiltration of the vessel. Othereise, assuming d-t fusion... this is accurate.

4. We can already breed tritium, and plutonium... this is a reality we have to live with. Fusion won’t change that either way. We can also engineer plagues, and a lot of other nasty things, and every year it all becomes easier to do “out of the garage” so to speak. If we’re going to survive, we need a better solution than unspilling the milk. Maybe embracing fission energy and greatly raising quality of life around the globe would be a good first step?

5. Agreed, although it is worth mentioning that there are ways to harness energy without a turbine, they are also complex. Fusion won’t save us, it won’t save our kids or grandkids. We need fission, solar, and wind, and peobsbly a century or more of research into aneutronic fusion if we want to survive well.

"but I its hard for me to believe that all these people had a decent life and that suddenly due to rising house prices they were driven to the streets and that everything will be fixed once housing prices become affordable again."

Really? Cause that is the leading cause of homelessness. When your housing costs are eating up 50+% of your paycheck, that really leaves no slack whatsoever for if your car breaks down or you have a medical emergency or anything else.

"I wonder if the homeless issue in california is a lot like it is in hawaii where people actively go there just to be homeless there rather than being displaced from their homes due to housing prices. After all the weather is nicer so its better to be homeless there than anywhere else."

I have no idea who you're talking to, but I can guarantee that no one is homeless because they want to be homeless.

"and everyone I've ever know whose rent was something they could not afford anymore just moved to somewhere less expensive."

With what money? Again, if you're someone who's rent is taking up the majority of your paycheck, you don't have money to move elsewhere. Not to mention, leaving an area you grew up in, where most of all your connections and support structure reside, is not an easy thing to do.
> I’m surprised that you are 50+ and are saying 15-20% “has always” been the standard for sit down full service. I am 40+ and distinctly remember when it was 10%.

I'm 40+, and when I was in elementary school, pretty much every source I encountered was consistent with 15% as the norm, 20% as a reward for exceptional service, 10% as a signal for tolerable but substandard service, and anything lower as a signal of “abysmal service and I'm only tipping to let you know that I did not forget about the tip to avoid ambiguity.”

I'm pretty sure we have Human Rights Conventions to protect people from having to crimp a mess like that.

I’m always surprised that civil forfeiture isn’t considered a violation of both the fourth and fifth amendments. The fifth amendment says “nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation“, and the fourth requires probably cause to seize property. Civil forfeiture is somehow allowed without due process or probable cause. And the money kicks back to police departments, which is a clear public use, and there is definitely no just compensation.

Do you have a background in law?

Reading through this comment thread is very interesting, I just can't help but try to understand how so many geeks are so well versed in case law :)
Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be a consideration to manufacturers. Even if they are meant to work offline, this is going to be the least-tested path. IIRC there have been cases with certain internet-enabled thermostats failing to do the core thing (regulate the temperature) because they couldn't phone home.

The solution if you want something without such surprises is to work with open or semi-open devices (e.g. can be controlled by your own home automation server) that don't just magically connect to the internet and just work.

The problem with this is that using your own home automation server requires a degree of knowledge not readily found in the population at large, and can in many cases give even more control to the partner who installed it over an internet-of-things solution.

It does seem to me that a lot of home automation devices are marketed as being about being able control things that were operated by a switch by a remote control that can work from another country, rather than about better regulating light or heat or security. Perhaps some people see such tools as they are marketed as a way to gain power over others.

I have the same problem. Docker as a means of making deployable, system-imaged tarballs super-easily? Great! And they'll run almost anywhere given the aggressive portability emphasis of Docker-the-product? Even better! Networking, volume mounts, and quotas included? Holy shit, this is awesome!

...now tell me about how all this stuff gets configured.

...shell scripts, you say? &&-spliced because lots of infrastructure is affected by a layer limit? And everything's committed so you can't hook parent containers' "$package_manager upgrade" phases? So everyone is running bunches of time-consuming (or superstitious/witchcraft) commands multiple times throughput the build hierarchy cautionarily if you don't control every layer? What the fuck?!

Seriously. Docker is a great product, period. But their community totally dropped the ball on provisioning. Being able to bail back out to shell commands is an important ability, but that being the default for conventional, complex deploys is batshit insane. That's what Puppet/Chef/Ansible/Packer/pick-your-favorite-provisioning-tool were designed to solve.

These aren't specialized, high-learning-curve "old-school sysadmin-club members only" technologies. They're easy, accessible, and save you from short (quicker initial provisioning/predictability), medium (updates to low-level parts of your infrastructure), and long-term (tracking security-related dependencies) headaches. Even if people don't use one of these tools for its portability benefits (because they're on Docker, so fuck portability . . . until it manifests as a random-container-linux compatibility issue), I'm baffled as to why they don't pick them up for the benefits in maintainability. Anyone who has had to deploy more than a handful of low-level package updates in a complex containerized deploy has to have asked "isn't there a better way?!" at least twice.
It's not concrete when there are many specific use cases that fall under that umbrella. Telephony is one, for instance, and it predates the internet.

And do you not consider smart contracts to be non-currency trusted computing applications of the blockchain?

> I think there's a difference between what you're saying (doing it right is possible) and what the critics are saying (doing it wrong needs to be impossible). There's nothing that best practices can do to prevent a motivated novice from throwing together a minimum effort contract that "works" by whatever test criteria they thought up over the past five minutes.

You're absolutely right. There's also nothing to prevent a motivated novice from writing software to control a mars rover. Just, nobody's going to send his rover to Mars. Nothing stops anyone from writing a smart contract, but common sense will (eventually, once the dust settles) stop people from throwing money at them.
At least one C++ library that I rely on (that produces an incredible number of template instantiations in the object files) ultimately results in a 2 GB shared object file for the debug version (generating DWARF info for 300,000+ objects takes up a lot of space). The test suite for this project compiles and runs about 5,000 executables that link, in some way, to that giant shared object library. Statically linking the test suite would consume on the order of terabytes (I am not sure the exact number; I have never tried) of disk space which just is not feasible for a workstation, so dynamic linking is the only reasonable option. Dynamic linking also makes testing easier since I do not have to recompile tests as often.

That said, DLL hell is definitely real (as anyone who has ever used windows knows). Things are generally better (though not perfect) with OSs like Debian where dependencies are centrally managed across the whole system. In general, doing C++ development, I have found it advantageous to dynamically link: recompiling one library does not necessitate recompiling everything that depends on it.
So, you conclude that it is a pointless tool because people can consult the HIPB website directly. Meanwhile, Troy Hunt, the creator of the HIPB website himself writes that this is a good idea.
The marginal cost of operating an EV is so much lower than an ICE car, that the charge time is more than made up for. The scheduled maintenace for my Nissan Leaf is essentially “check the fluids and rotate the tires” for the lifetime of the car. On top of that, the MPG equivalent is >100 mpg and charging in many places is free. It’s literally an order of magnitude difference in operating costs.

Agreed on the junk, but does the satellite itself really need to be burned too?

With the amount of space-junk floating around it might be kinda wasteful to burn the whole thing with the junk, that's why I was wondering about reusability of the satellite itself.
Yes, but if you build the image and push it to a repository, everybody working on it can pull it and run it.
From your link:

>One primary risk with running Docker containers is that the default set of capabilities and mounts given to a container may provide incomplete isolation, either independently, or when used in combination with kernel vulnerabilities.
That will always be the case, but given the ease of tracking all the transactions in the chain, you can find the point at which the product deviates. Of course, if every step on that chain has colluded, and produced false attestations, then there's no defense against that. But then, if all parties are coordinating then they've created their own supply chain independent of the one being tracked.
Sounds like trusting fellow users is a major factor

Agree with the sentiment, but in California servers make the regular minimum wage. There is no special "tipped wage" like there is in other parts of the country.
The brighter a craft is, the less efficient it is. Every photon it emits in a random direction is energy that could have been better used to push it toward its destination. So, if any civilization out there really is super advanced, their ships may be extremely hard to detect. Also, a situation like Star Wars or Star Trek where beings in space vessels just cruise around the galaxy for personal reasons is highly unlikely at any technological level. We shouldn't expect to see a lot of ships out there.
What can people do to prepare for a recession in the next 6 years?
This seems to be the critical assumption in Sawan and Abdou's paper:

The tritium bred in the CANDU reactors is the only practical source available for ITER and other DT fusion systems [3,4].

Citation 3 is "personal communication." 4 is this 2002 presentation: http://www.fusion.ucla.edu/abdou/abdou%20presentations/2002/...

Page 32 of that presentation, "Tritium Supply Calculation Assumptions", says it is assumed that the following will NOT happen:

• Restarting idle CANDU’s

• Processing moderator from non-OPG CANDU’s (Quebec, New Brunswick)

• Building more CANDU’s

• Irradiating Li targets in commercial reactors (including CANDU’s)

• Obtaining tritium from weapons programs of “nuclear superpowers”

• Premature shutdown of CANDU reactors

But assumptions 3 and 4 have already been invalidated. China has added CANDU reactors since the presentation and is building a few more abroad for other countries. The United States has started irradiating lithium targets in commercial reactors.

So in my judgment, closing the tritium cycle still isn't on the critical path to fusion industrialization. There are other crucial problems to solve before "where will we get enough tritium for these fusion reactors?" becomes a crucial issue.
You mean like how many smart contracts have reference implementations in other languages?
Not likely. All the new jobs and lower taxes will keep it boosted for a long time.
In default docker installation on most Linux boxes, communication to docker socket itself requires elevated privilege. You can't even do `docker ps`.

In jobs I held - people who can pull images and run container on servers, they also could install stuff if they wanted. Is running privileged containers blocked? It just seems something broke down in engineering process, if developers has to bypass admins to install stuff on a server. What happens if that server crashed and burned?

A notion I'm thinking over is the root meanings of near and far, and the implications of mediated experience.

Near is a cognate of nigh, whose superlative is next: "The Old English progression was neah - near - niehsta, for "nigh - near - next." Things which are near share borders, or cross few borders. Or, from close, are confined within a common border or boundary.

https://www.etymonline.com/word/near

https://www.etymonline.com/word/nigh

https://www.etymonline.com/word/close

Conversely, far comes from the PIE root * per-, "base of words for 'through, forward,' with extended senses such as 'across, beyond'".

To be distant is to stand apart, to be unconnected or not directly connected. To be distant is to move bacck or push away.

https://www.etymonline.com/word/far

https://www.etymonline.com/word/distant

https://www.etymonline.com/word/remote

PIE roots are fun for all the derived words they point to -- they're the superhubs of language:

https://www.etymonline.com/word/*per-

Media, from medium, is that which stands between: "intermediate agency" Or, from the above, media is the agent of distance.

https://www.etymonline.com/word/medium

I'm reading through a collection of Greek and Roman myths (H.A. Grueber, 1907), and it comes to mind that the Greek god of messengers -- that is, of intermediate agency, media, distance -- was also a the trickster god: Hermes (Mercury).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermes

Which brings us back to the Times piece, and the subject of which maany of us form our livelihoods.

Digital gadgets give the illusion of immediateness, nearness, and simplicity, but in truth they are too often complex, rely on remote capabilities, and may respond to many masters.

Drawing in one more allusion, driving victims mad by regulating environmental ssystems was a key plot device of R.A. Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (1966).

This paper is hilarious, and Matt & co are geniuses. It’s 6 1/2 pages long and contains a number of gems:

Since a context-free language is a recursive regular language, it is tempting to use the same code for computing the derivative. From the perspective of parsing, this has two chief drawbacks: 1. It doesn’t work. 2. It wouldn’t produce a parse forest even if it did.
People may have a strong reaction to the word "crazy", but I'm not sure what else to call it, other than "mass delusion" or "mass hallucination".

I've done this analysis for (mostly small-scale) companies for about 10 years, and, every time, the cost of using public cloud computing has been 2x-10x of running ones own servers for 3 years.

I've only had one exception, where the incremental cost of compute was 1:1, if the servers were placed in more expensive space near the other servers in the existing datacenter. Data transfer costs made cloud more expensive, of course.

> Running a server is child's play, people.

I'd say that's a bit of a hyperbole, but I agree that the incremental expertise (and time/effort) required to deal with hardware over cloud, is far from the prohibitve headache it's made out to be.
I dont agree that servers deserve that much above the median pay for this area.
That should be sufficient for hundreds if not thousands of tabs. Maybe get a better OS.

> You only really started to hear about Civil Forfeiture once the police started going too far and taking things from the wealthy or powerful

From my perspective it was more like police brutality: the internet and cameras were what made awareness mainstream by making it easy to spread (especially in areas where the local media has a credulous relationship with the police) and harder to dismiss.
