Skype used to have a ton of issues with certain features requiring both parties be online. For instance, since it was peer-to-peer, sharing pictures and/or file attachments would fail if you weren't online at the same time as the other person, and of course, you were subject to the their upload speed for you (and each other person in a chatroom) to download it.

There's a pretty big NIMBY problem with HV transmission lines in the USA as well, of which many thousands of km are needed for the energy system you're dreaming of.

Also many of those sources have seasonal variations that the grid doesn't solve. The sun goes down at 4:30pm in many parts of the USA in winter, at the time when heating energy peaks. It's easy to underestimate how much energy is needed to heat the midwest in winter.

China has a related problem but people are dying from the coal emissions. Their solution? Scaled-up TRIGA reactors (typically used for research) that provide district heating, not electricity. Brilliant! [1]

> Problem employees aren't going to change their behavior. Enforcement of standards is much more critical.

That's not the goal. If people don't know that slapping their colleagues' butt when drunk is wrong, online training is not going to help there.

Training is there so that when it comes time to arbitrate, they can point and say "Aha, we see you took the training, passed the quiz and you still did it, you can't claim you didn't know, you're gone buddy! buhbye" and they kick him out.

That is the right answer!
> Humans are irresponsible, and will leave scooters in disruptive locations.

This is not a hard problem to solve. Give scooter companies a ticket if their scooter is found somewhere disruptive. Let the scooter companies figure out how to cajole their customers to lower the disruptive-location rate to reasonable levels.

I guess it's all relative. I am just getting into ham radio and I am shocked at how expendive HF rigs still are. The QCX kit is $50 sure and it's really well designed, but it takes hours to assemble and it's difficult to debug without already having a radio or other test equipment. If I want to get into Arduino, I can buy a fully built board on eBay for about $3. Other HF radios on the budget end are a couple hundred bucks. It's one of the few areas where you can save significant cash building kits, which is kind of cool.
in addition to what m4x said, radio has some HUGE benefits over cell in a marathon scenario. If the person you need to talk with is on the phone with someone else you can't get through. With a radio you can. Additionally, everyone (terrain permitting) hears what you have to say so the information propagates out much faster.

On a well run event you have "net control" which is basically a central point that you pass messages to and they pass them out. They're usually an experienced ham set up with a good antenna, and a reasonably powerful transmitter, at a location that can hear from and speak to everyone even if people with handhelds can't hear each other because of distance or terrain. There's a convention for getting permission to speak and how messages are conveyed and passed on.

In my particular case, we set up an antenna for ham frequencies and public service frequencies, officers from our town are deployed, and can talk to us on their police radios but frequently can't speak with each other because we're not in our home town and don't have our repeater (other towns use other frequencies). So I relay messages between officers and I relay messages to and from net command.

Also, if you think about what happens when an emergency (like the Boston Marathon Bombing) happens... imagine how much slower and more disorganized the response would be if all the departments had to make cell calls to each other and wait for each to get off teh line... the central point would call one police dept. Then they'd call the fire. Then they'd call.... and now people are dead because you can't communicate with more than one person at a time.

it's just WAY more efficient than cell phones.

I don’t have a moral qualm about pirating. But I’d rather pay for convenience.

I stopped pirating music when the iTunes Music Store came out. It wasn’t worth dealing with the hassle of Napster/Kazaa/Limewire.

I’m not above getting a movie or tv series “off the back of a truck”, but if I want something now I’ll rent it from iTunes. I’ve even bought a few movies from Amazon, Google, and iTunes now that you can sync most purchased movies between all three services via Movies Anywhere.

I also pay for Hulu, Amazon Prime, DirectV Now, and get Netflix free from T-mobile.
An industry like solar whose main boast seems to be that it creates more jobs than fossil fuels -- while producing less than a tenth of the energy -- is not shovel-ready as a replacement right now, today, when we need it. If you require an order of magnitude more workers per watt, you're not ready to scale. By contrast, as far as I can tell, nuclear requires fewer than fossil fuels.

Back during the Great Leap Forward, Mao got really into this idea of the people generating energy & doing metallurgy & manufacturing locally. Hipsters would approve. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a leap backwards.

edit: my math was wrong; solar is actually worse than I said. Solar costs over 100 times more workers per watt than fossil fuels.

>Bill Ford said the company sees an opportunity to build on its legacy and provide leadership in the rapidly changing mobility industry. Electrification is where the company is headed, he said.

>Unlike other companies, Ford wants to build on customer loyalty for established best sellers rather than try to market new brands that happen to be electric because it will speed up customer acceptance, Ford said.

But. Spin must still have //some// sort of technical knowledge Ford wants because they’re investing $11b into electrification vehicles with a product launch in 2020 and a lineup of 40 electrified and hybrid vehicles by 2022. [2]

The salt deposits in New Mexico are a wonderful place for nuclear waste. It's almost a no-brainer [1].

"It doesn't matter why it's a problem, all that matters is that it's a problem..."

Intermittency of wind and solar is a problem by any stretch of any imagination. Year-averaged wind capacity factor in USA is 35%. Solar is 25%. There are massive seasonal variations that batteries don't solve. It's a legit concern. Nukes help alleviate that because they're the only known dispatchable 24/7 carbon-free energy that we can scale to the necessary scale. Just gotta figure out how to make the more cheaply. Curing fears spawning from the linear no-threshold dose response model will help with that.

> However these 3 years of work in isolation, when I was thrown onto my own resources, following guidelines which I myself had spontaneously invented, instilled in me a strong degree of confidence, unassuming yet enduring, in my ability to do mathematics, which owes nothing to any consensus or to the fashions which pass as law. [..] to reach out in my own way to the things I wished to learn, rather than relying on the notions of the consensus, overt or tacit, coming from a more or less extended clan of which I found myself a member, or which for any other reason laid claim to be taken as an authority. This silent consensus had informed me, both at the lyé and at the university, that one shouldn't bother worrying about what was really meant when using a term like "volume", which was "obviously self-evident", "generally known", "unproblematic", etc. I'd gone over their heads, almost as a matter of course, even as Lesbesgue himself had, several decades before, gone over their heads. It is in this gesture of "going beyond", to be something in oneself rather than the pawn of a consensus, the refusal to stay within a rigid circle that others have drawn around one - it is in this solitary act that one finds true creativity. All others things follow as a matter of course.

I totally agree with, "It seems 'non-compassionate' to me to reduce all of life-crippling addiction to 'making a bad decision or lacking self-control'." But I disagree that being prescribed opioids is a primary factor here. Many people with addiction issues, particularly homeless, are suffering from other mental health issues as well. They often abuse many substance both legal and illegal.

I think it's perfectly reasonable and appropriate for doctors to screen for these sorts of things before prescribing. However I also think making treatment for addiction more available and affordable is a better remediation strategy than having law enforcement monitor and scrutinize every act to the point where doctors are afraid to prescribe, even to patients in need.

As a consumer of CBD myself, I don't think it's a scam. I also don't believe it's a miracle drug that solves every problem. What I do think is that it has a remarkable safety profile. If you experience chronic pain, you should probably try CBD before opioids. The side-effects of CBD are pretty limited (be careful though as all interactions are unknown) compared to other pharmaceuticals used to treat the same symptoms. In other words, I don't think CBD is remarkable because of its effects. Morphine is a way better pain killer. I think CBD is special because you can take it for a long time without the same risks.

> This why it is imperative that we __turbocharge__ the pace of innovation in nuclear power. TerraPower is just one of dozens of startups around the world that are now exploring new and better kinds of reactors

As promising as nuclear power is as a renewable energy source, the last thing the world needs is nuclear powered by innovative software from VC funded, fast returns oriented, move fast and break things types.

Nuclear reactors do not have the same economics as software. The field is a bad investment in comparison (and in comparison to __many__ other fields). Encouraging young, bright people to go into the nuclear power is dishonest. The future for nuclear researchers in uncertain. Change that before encouraging citizens with great potential to gamble their future away.

New, much more efficient reactor designs have and will be in the works. Theses designs are in various stages of regulatory approval. Most designs are not economically viable. Rigor is not quick, and is not to be disrupted. Again, change the incentives. (or just have Bill email fellow billionaires who can afford gambles).

I agree with the main point. The rest of the article is irresponsible and/or dishonest rubbish that leaves out important details and actionable ideas. Waste of readers' time and doesn't do much to actually educate the population. Maybe this article even encourages people to spread ill thought out and uninformed ideas in the name of the environment. Subpar editing and publishing.

--- nitpick below ---

I've worked on embedded software in the nuclear industry (designing inspection tools). I've done work with formal methods and verifying programs. Anyone who jabs at "designs drafted during the slide-rule era and adapted from reactors used on aircraft carriers and submarines" is being disingenuous to the level of rigor that went into these PE signed engineering designs. Our modern software development methods are a joke in comparison.

I guarantee you can find dozens of examples of CS-type people using O() in non-algorithmic-complexity topics as "on the order of" or "approximately" right here on HN within the past 6 months. They aren't all misusing that notation - it is being co-opted into a more general lexicon, whether you like it or not.

And I wasn't saying that "on the order of" is an approximation of what O() actually is in CS, merely that that is how OP used it.

How is constructive mathematics closer to Lie groups than regular mathematics? From what I read in that presentation, a bunch of basic assumptions in calculus (such as the intermediate value theorem) no longer hold, and the theory of Lie groups is built on manifolds/calculus/real analysis etc.
I started teaching myself Racket recently and eventually ended up looking into the innards of lambda calculus formalism. It got me thinking about what the ramifications of embracing constructivism would be towards computability in general. Can you recommend any good introductory literature on constructivism ? I'm familiar with the foundational crisis and the whole formalism vs logicism vs constructivism debate but never really dug deeper. Thanks.

The Interchange did a great episode about Nuclear Power a while back [1].

They mentioned a few problems everyone knows about nuclear (NIMBY, financing, licensing, etc), but one of the unintuitive problems was the lack of institutional memory for construction. Westinghouse et.al. will design the core of the plant, but each plant is constructed by a series of contractors and subcontractors who many times, have never constructed anything this precise before. Jessica Lovering compared it to constructing cathedrals (in that each one was bespoke). This makes each one effectively as expensive as the last.

This is one of the many problems companies like TerraPower are trying to solve: Not just dropping up front cost (finance) or making it more stable (NIMBY), but also trying to build a living knowledge of how to build reactors repeatably.

Total tangent: My pet theory is that if it gets really bad, we'll just start building floating nuclear reactors and park them within transmission distance from cities. Ironically we have a ton of experience with floating nuclear reactors from maintaining a large nuclear-powered navy.

On a related note, Jacksonville Electric Authority is rolling on a 250 MW distributed solar supplement to their existing grid. Presentation from their October public board agenda can be found here[1], pp. 65-76.

There's some interesting visuals of their solar distribution, land allocation, and proposed panel layouts...but perhaps more importantly, a purchase power agreement comparison against a nuclear deal with the Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia[2] gone super sour (and currently under litigation).

Takeaway is, indeed, nuclear is in dire need of innovation.

All cintrolls, invl. Boeing, are fly by wire now. And yes, pulling back was exactly the wrong thing. I would have to look up the rport again, but if I remember well pulling up silenced the stall warning. So nose down -> stall warning, nose up -> no stall warning.

If memory serves me well, Air France revised their training afterwards to cover that exacz scenario, that pulling up silenced the stall warning was expected system behaviour. Complex systems require in depth system knowledge and quick reaction times. That is one of the points I took away from that incident.

The example there wasn't as something I was trying to convince people of, but rather to show how unobservable beliefs are necessary to provide value judgments on observables. You have different set of evidenceless beliefs, including "Laws are threats of force by violence, and should therefore have high bars to implementation." These evidenceless beliefs then influence which actions should be taken.
I would recommend starting with linear logic to be honest. Logic is very simple to understand, mathematics is hard. Analogously, linear logic is simpler than constructive mathematics.
