Europe was also all-in on diesels and focussed on reducing CO2 emissions, and look how that worked out for its cities. We have to admit that the EU is no panacea, and much of the legislation it passes is also written by and for self-interest groups and lobbyists. Take the recent copyright law as an example.

Excerpts:

* Nuclear power capacity worldwide is increasing steadily, with about 50 reactors under construction.

* Most reactors on order or planned are in the Asian region, though there are major plans for new units in Russia.

* Significant further capacity is being created by plant upgrading.

* Plant lifetime extension programmes are maintaining capacity, particularly in the USA.

About 50 power reactors are currently being constructed in 13 countries (see table below), notably China, India, UAE and Russia.

Some words of advice from looking at your site and resume

UK is well known for having a 2 page resume. But America, this is not the case, its a one pager. You blog & resume speaks of a very european mindset as well,you should know that European Companies =/= American companies in terms of cultural fit. Many european computer science jobs are more B2B than America, which has a large amount of B2C as well

I've done a lot of hiring, your resume has some serious red flags. It shows you jumped around too much, and there is just way too much irrelevant information. You should spend a bit of money and get resume critiquement / career critiques, this would be highly beneficial to you. Learn what your call to action is to both HR and to technical recruiters. Just put down the last 3 jobs you worked on

You would gain a alot by instead focusing on learning UX design, both document and website wise. I have a short attention spam, I could not read your resume. I went as far as measuring the fonts for you.

You put things at 10pt font... that's insane. 8pt font is as small as it goes, 14 to 16 pt is the preferred size for web-font readability.

You would also learn a lot by taking better photos of yourself too. Your photo looks like MySpace Tom is in his prime.

------------------------------------------------------------------

You need to think in a companies' hiring shoes. What is their first impressions of you? If I were a recruiter for a big firm, this is how I would interpret you resume

- 2 pager -> You can't figure what matters in our company. There is way too many things listed that are irrelevant to the job position, what is it you are looking for in the job

- Blog -> it shows you don't have the best communication standards out there. It shows you have poor design aesthetics

- Hobbies / couchsurfing -> This shows you don't know what matters in XYZ company. Companies could not care less about your hobbies, unless its related to work

- "• Entrepreneurship: Buying, refurbishing and reselling a class set of iBooks in 2005; iPod repair at ", " Took online
training courses in big data processing with ElasticSearch and Tensorfow machine learning. ",...etc → it shows you think a bit too highly of yourself, ego might be an issue. Reading through your writing on your blog suggests the same. I do not know you personally, I am only relaying what every HR person would think. I don't see any perspectives other than your own in your blogs, it suggests you might have issues acclimating to different cultures

Your blog is not a blog. Its a journal. Know the difference.

I am giving you 100% honest feedback on everything I've seen, you have a lot room for improvement not on the technical side of things. I'm not any better though, I recognize my weaknesses, my writing sucks and I tend to repeat myself. But I make strides of improving it everyday

In general, muscle is 'consumed' before 'fat'. Quotes since it is more complex than just what regular muscle and fatty tissues do.

> While not healthy to literally starve yourself, getting your calories from stored fat is absolutely safe.

No one will disagree with you there, but for most normal healthy people with regular muscle/fat content (or a bit too much) it takes a while for your body to decide it is a good idea to start creating toxins (ketones, which are quite harmless in smaller quantities) which are the result of fat conversion in a starvation diet.

The amusing thing in the case of Germany is that the country never really was a real nation with a unifying culture etc (like e.g. France). Having only been unified in 1871, it was a hodgepodge of dukedoms for centuries. It's for example completely arbitrary that Bavaria became part of Germany but Austria didn't. To this day there is no unifying culture to speak of, e.g. the stereotypical German-Bavarian would scoff at "traditional" food from Northern Germany and vice versa. It was migration, immigration and arbitrarily drawn borders since practically forever. Many inhabitants of northern Germany have slavic surnames, because half of the local population has been wiped out in the Thirty Years' War, with immigrants replacing the dead. We don't even have a common religous tradition.
Seen this too. What I can't understand is what makes people hire these clowns ?

The first thing you learn about business is that you don't know how it works.

The second thing is that no matter how experienced the competition looks, they don't know either.

Hiring cannot solve a lack of business knowledge ... and yet everyone keeps thinking, again and again and again, that it does.

So what makes people hire these idiots ?

So Good They Can't Ignore You never quite sat well with me. In the examples of what not to do, it seemed like the author conflated "following your passion" with "jump in with no planning or training". On the other hand, the examples of people who succeeded by becoming experts were often very lucky. For example successful small business owners or a historian who got his own TV show.

The author's overall idea seemed to be that once you become an expert you will be able to negotiate the working conditions that you want. However, most of the examples were entrepreneurs or people working remotely. I don't feel that he addressed the fact that most people aren't cutout to run their own business and even with hard work aren't going to be the top percent of their field. In those cases I think most corporations aren't going to be willing to negotiate meaningful changes to working conditions.
The real problem is that some people don’t actually want the poor to the better off, they just want the rich to be worse off.

Many countries follow the NRC's lead, but there are exceptions. For example, Canada has regulators who are much friendlier to new reactor development, and Terrestrial Energy, a molten salt reactor company, has spoken highly of them and is making good progress. Moltex recently moved there as well. Russia has two sodium-cooled fast reactors on the grid and is working on more.

But China is the real leader. They're aggressively developing every major GenIV category, including two government-funded molten salt reactors. Terrapower moved their traveling wave reactor to China after giving up on the U.S.
But you read HN don't you? Can you tell articles from ads here? What about Paul Graham's submarines?
Flatpaks Are Now Sort of Working on Microsoft Windows
> Generally there's a huge inventory of ads, each with different criteria attached to them

I think what he is describing is a future where the ONLY criteria ads are selected on is the standard user data set. Basically I open my browser settings, go to its "relevant ads"-section, enter some basic ad targeting info such as my age group, gender, and 2 hobbies.

Then because I entered "fishing" as an interest, I'll see a lot of fishing gear ads. Great!

If I'm NOT willing to enter any targeting info into my browser, or if I enter bogus info (or install a plugin that randomizes the info) then sites will not show me relevant ads.

I don't mind seeing ads for fishing gear if I told the site I'm interested in fishing. That's completely fine. I do mind seeing ads for hotels in San Francisco just hours after I searched a different sites for cheap flights there, or ads for that exact shoe I made an incomplete checkout of in a webhop store last week etc.

Because nuclear waste is an unsolved problem, while cheap renewables promotes decentralized energy production using inputs that’s can’t be controlled. Solar panels and wind turbines can also be recycled. They require no expensive trust funds to decommission at end of life, and hazard to life to cut up radioactive components and bury them safely away from life.

If we’re going to subsidize anything, it might as well be solar and wind. It’s fusion energy at a distance.
The work schedule with every other Friday off? Because I would end up working at least nine hours anyway. It's nice if I am going out of town for the weekend.

Taking the opposite Fridays off, from September/October through December? I haven't gone on a vacation and I can't carry those vacation days over to the next year.
I suspect the slowness and the suddenness of a "you owe us X" is pretty stressful for many people. But if you read the letters it is mostly "hey send us some stuff so we can look at it" and while drawn out.... my experiences were fair and completed normally (granted that is just one experience).

At one point I printed the wrong thing entirely... they just sent a letter telling me I sent them the wrong thing and the clock kept restarting.

Something I often notice when people complain about AirBNB being a problem in their city- Their city has 'peaked' like a star Quarterback in High school.

In my city which is experiencing growth, I find my AirBnB guests are often business travelers who are infulencers in their respected communities. There are some exceptions like college kids on summer vacation trying to hook up away from their parents house- but mostly business people.

I see complaints from Europeans about Tourism, but that should be a reflection on the achievements of their ancestors rather than the achievements of the current and recent generations.

Or, some software developers and/or PMs just got lazy with development and optimization, and greedy with the amount of data that could be harvested. A framework here, a library there and it adds up pretty quickly.
As a developer of a feed reader that supports both RSS/Atom and Twitter/Facebook/Google+/Instagram/VK (https://bazqux.com) I say that making client for well defined API hosted by one provider (silo) was much more simple than support RSS/Atom feeds.

Here is an incomplete list of various problems you'll have if you want to write a feed reader
http://inessential.com/2013/03/18/brians_stupid_feed_tricks

It requires a lot of work to make a feed reader that supports all possible feed generators from all possible sites. And it's more related to multiple buggy producers than to multiple feed formats (for example repeating item IDs, different item IDs for the same items, missing IDs -- no matter what format you use you get same issues).

Another complexity is feed updating itself. Silo hosts content and knows what was updated. Feed readers don't. So they need to poll and update a lot of content even if they have just a few users (but with thousand feeds each). There is a PubSubHubbub, but again, lots of providers and implementations could be buggy (for most feeds I just fetch them directly when receiving a push instead of use push data itself since it's more reliable).

So the open nature of web syndication itself dampens its usage by making developing and running feed reader a costly task. It's really simpler (and maybe more profitable if you're lucky) to write a silo.

And there are more problems that are not related to feed format at all: relative complexity of subscribing, not everybody need syndication (many people prefer occasional visiting of the site instead of reading each article), new forms of "syndication" (related videos, algorithmic feeds), less blogs (maybe it's good -- let people post cat pics in social media), less popularity (not a part of big sites, browsers), less education (social media and messaging apps is the only Internet some people know) and so on.

But there are people who want to follow every article from interesting sources in software optimized for this task. And feed readers are the best thing here. For example, some people use my feed reader for Facebook/Twitter feeds only (no RSS feeds at all) just because it's more convenient to read them here.

In the end, I think, process of reading subscriptions is more important than underlying format. If RSS will die (quite unlikely) another methods of getting articles will appear.

The idea of the Narrow Bank is to do no banking; just deposit all deposits into its reserve account at the Federal Reserve, where it would draw 1.95% interest. They were denied an account at the Fed, and have sued [3] to get their account.

Although the Narrow Bank is set up to allow only institutional clients, the case has apparently been drawing attention because if such a bank offered retail banking services, then it could be very exciting, since they are engaged only in risk-free activities and can still deliver a higher return on investment than the existing retail and commercial banks.

I'm quite surprised that nobody has suggested Crash Course. The first one they did - Crash Course World History by John Green - is really great, and I personally found both endearing and funny (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yocja_N5s1I&list=PLBDA2E52FB...). It's not advanced material, mostly high-school level, but you've got to crawl before you can walk, and it can help to fill in some missing spots if you have them, or give a high-level overview or recap in an entertaining way. Example: I'd done basic biology, but taken instead chemistry and physics (where I was, you only did all three if you wanted to go into medicine). I used Crash Course Biology (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnQe0xW_JY4&list=PL3EED4C1D6...) to back-fill my knowledge before studying a masters in Bioinformatics.

Why would you decentralize energy production? Centralization brings down the cost by the power of scale, it worked for every industry, I don't see why energy would be any different.

That article in its entirety is interesting, because there are not two but four monkeys from two different studies. Two on "restricted diets," and two on "unrestricted diets."

In one study they fed both monkeys a highly processed diet of 30% sucrose. In the other study they fed both monkeys a less processed diet of 4% sucrose.

The monkey with the poor health outcome was the one allowed to eat as much as it wanted of the highly processed 30% sucrose diet.

So the "calorie restriction" seems to more likely just mean "don't eat more than 4% sugar, unless you are on an extremely calorie restricted diet."
