I disagree; politics are a small factor, but up-front capital costs are by far the bigger issue. The most salient example is South Carolina, where it was up-front construction costs that axed the project. They poured billions into the plant multiple times and it never was completed.

I'm all for advanced nuclear but it's never going to happen with such high start-up costs, especially outside of an authoritarian economy like China, which is basically the only country making major expansions to nuclear today. Maybe traveling wave or molten salt or modular reactors could be cheaper and better on fundamentals, but if the cost to start-up is still very high, the LCOE isn't going to beat renewables/storage in the medium/long term.

On top of this, look at energy widely. Demand is flat, old coal is shutting down, new renewables/storage and new-ish gas turbines are going to be online for a couple decades. Where is the payback potential for an expensive nuclear plant in a flat-demand environment? Renewables kill the wholesale cost to boot, so nuclear would be running a deficit in windy or sunny times. It's just hard to make the numbers work.
Also, as a practical aside, two mobiles devices could use their screens and front-facing cameras to negotiate a secure session for key-exchange, etc.
"our government represents ALL of China" and Tibet, Xinjang, Mongolia, Taiwan and HK. China proper isn't such a large country after all.

For centuries China had been expanding and overraching and then collapsing and shrinking. Perhaps we are observing Peak China again?

Portchain | Copenhagen, Denmark | Full time | REMOTE | Front-end and full stack Software Engineers

We're hiring two full stack or front-end developers (NodeJS, ReactJS, Typescript, PostgreSQL, Python) to join our team of 4 remote developers (incl. the engineering manager onsite in Copenhagen).

Experience working remotely. Minimum 4 years of professional software engineering experience.

90% of all goods are transported in containers. The largest container vessels can take on 20,000 containers at a time. The industry is struggling like never before, and is fundamentally inefficient: 50% of all container vessels globally are delayed coming into port, most communication is conducted through phone and even fax, paper is still used in abundance, there can be over 15 process handovers moving a container, and there are large regional differences in performance among players.

We want to change that, and bring the industry into the digital age. Portchain (www.portchain.com) is a Danish startup founded by 3 McKinsey alums in February 2017 that aims to significantly reduce operational cost and complexity for all players while providing industry leading customer experience.

We have paying customers and starting to get traction through pilot projects, therefore looking for 2 new members to join our team.

Varonis (www.varonis.com) | New York, NY | Marketing Demand Gen | Full-Time | Remote

Varonis is an enterprise software company (B2B) that helps organizations better secure their data.

This is perhaps not the most glitzy thing, but I really appreciate that:

- The software does what it says

- It's pretty unique in how it does it

- Actually, genuinely useful to the people that use it daily

- Helps protect basically everybody else on the internet

In short, it's something I feel really good about representing and I think that makes marketing it much easier.

The Inbound group is fully remote, large enough to have an actual budget for things, small enough to have some flexibility in execution and be open to new ideas.

We're looking for a very hands-on person who can help increase the number of inbound leads generated by leveraging the work of the existing content and sales teams. We want to build intelligent multi-step campaigns that educate and inform prospects as the first introduction to our company, explore new campaign platforms and make smart data-driven decisions about what to pursue.

I realize marketing jobs aren't usually what gets posted here, but the people who have really thrived at Varonis are both really technical (a third of the marketing team are full stack devs who moved into marketing, myself included) and adept at marketing. Our biggest wins have been when we've been able to cross those two disciplines in a unique way.

You have to wonder how much someone who doesn’t understand the difference between the EU and the Eurozone can confidently make predictions about either.
The thing that makes mass transit work is walkability. There are 3 million people in NYC who use the subway every day. They can do that because the walkability of the neighborhoods complements the mass transit.

In some European cities, the bicycle is its own form of transit, and it can likewise be that because separate bike paths exist that complement the walkable structure of those cities.

If we want to actually beat the East Coast on transportation we have to do one or both of those things. Otherwise we can build all we like and no one will ride. Problem is that the same homeowners who brought you Prop 13 also want to keep getting places by car and you’re not going to get reasonable walkability until you de-prioritize the car.
The article describes a psychological technique, and the comment describes how a person who is extremely relevant to modern politics uses that technique.

I feel the comment is exactly what comments are for, adding further context around an article with a different perspective. Can you explain why you think he shouldn't have made this comment, outside of "Bannon is not the only person who does this, you can't make this comment unless you mention every other form of media that does."
> Most systems change all the time.

The way I think of it is "wizardry" has good initial velocity (as it relates to change), but velocity decreases with time, whereas for "engineering" velocity is terrible at first (initial investment), improves a bit over time, but most importantly it settles to a constant level.

Engineering is O(log(n)), wizardry is O(N*N).
A lot of these projects Google has killed were very obviously going to be non-profitable from the start because they had no business model.

Take Allo or Wave for example, how was a messaging app with no ads supposed to make any money even if it was successful? So why did they even bother in the first place if they're going to kill non-profitable projects?
I'm not trying to invalidate any wider point about hyperthreading, and the original article wasn't trying to make one.

It was specifically about Spectre and Meltdown mitigations which are unrelated to hyperthreading, so testing with or without hyperthreading is fine. Bringing up hyperthreading here is like bringing up how a diet high in salt is unhealthy, someone pointing out that salt has nothing to do with the original article, and then a final comment "Yeah, but that doesn't invalidate the wider point that we should consume less salt!".
Why the downvotes? "traditional" cryptocurrencies are more useful in absence of a stable and reliable banking system and political system.

As smartphones spread across developing countries, hypothetical non-minable cryptocurrencies that works well on intermittent or local networking might become relevant.
Does anyone use it like that though? Isn't he arguing with a straw man? Who is using IQ to allocate funding to pop singers? IQ scores aren't used that much and only ever for predicting success of jobs where success is easily measurable (which is what Taleb seems to mean by "obediency-based BS jobs").

> Mine; yours, and everyones salary is based on the value our contribution brings to our customers needs.

this is tragically naive ; the role of business management is to control and reduce price of inputs, every time. If something absolutely vital, essential, mission-critical can be obtained for less and less dollars out, it will be done. This is a prime "function of markets and competition" .. if you are talking about salt or eggs in a subsistance population, things can go well.. in a world-connected, skills-based post-industrial world, it results in exactly what you see .. millions of 20-somethings with more years of college and better health than their parents, struggling to break-even to just survive, etc. etc.
OmniFocus is really productive for me. I am also periodically changing how I use it, but the difference is that I do that while I am using it to get work done so the changes are legitimate optimizations of a working system. I think it defaults to a good outlined task list tool for indecisive people. I think the trap it sets is getting Pro too early; trying to set up custom perspectives before using it enough to understand what perspectives would save time is counter-productive. Setting up a dense thicket of tags is also a mistake, I suppose.
Yeah I get it wrong all the time, thanks for the correction.

Check out BricsCAD. Bricsys recently released shape for free, to compete with Sketchup I guess. It's a reskinned and (greatly) simplified version of their CAD product. https://www.bricsys.com/en-intl/shape/

The higher tier packages have a 3d constraint system. Imagine Sketchup and AutoCAD had a baby with some parametrics thrown in.

I personally own Sketchup, TurboCAD and BricsCAD. BricsCAD is the one I use the most, it obsoletes Sketchup for me totally. I much prefer it to the AutoCAD OEM I use at work and I possibly would pick it over SolidWorks. Although my SolidWorks experience is much more limited.

It's still proprietary but one of the few CAD packages I found that runs on linux and you can own without paying a monthly fee.
After a quick browser it seems a little too academic for daily programmers like myself.

Would love to learn more about practical dynamic programming these days, hope there is a book about that extensively.

Hey, my name is Grady and I've been working professionally as a software developer for 2 years now. In my current role I started as a mobile developer but since then I've developed APIs, created ETL pipelines in Python, and designed and developed features for a rewrite of our company website. I'm looking for a software engineering position mainly in New York, but I'm open to relocating to any of the locations I listed above. My dream role would be working with Swift/iOS but I'd be open for backend/data engineering in Python. I'm just looking for a role where I can continue to grow and work on something interesting/fulfilling. I'd love to hear from you if you think there could be a good fit!

Résumé/CV: https://thelimeburner.github.io/research/lucas_chaufournier....

I recently left my Phd program in Distributed Systems due to a feeling that my research had no real world impact. I am now looking to work on interesting problems that have a blend of tech and a meaningful impact. I have experience building systems in golang and experimentation frameworks in python as well as using deployment technologies from XEN and KVM VM's to Docker/LXC/etc... I have also worked on both security and multi-path networking problems in data centers as part of my research. While my industry experience is lacking, I am a self starter and willing to learn quickly on the job. Ideally looking to start February 1st, but am very flexible.

Typing is cheap. Debugging, reverse-engineering and refactoring is expensive.

Taking shortcuts just because you don't like typing a few extra characters is a bad habit to have, it leads to the kinds of code that has obfuscated variable names, no comments, 'clever tricks' that put way too much logic in a single line, etc.

I used to think like you, but I realized saving a few keystrokes is almost never worth it.
It's roughly the same in the US. Typically when changes are made to a government accepted standard/radio frequency rules all of the currently participating organizations are given a chance to review/debate changes.
Why?

Seriously, why?

Not only is it electron based, so my memory usage for a terminal is stupid high, but what sets this apart from your standard terminals, because maybe plugins?

I'd trust the standards over this any day, just because of handling of edge-cases, unicode comes to mind.
