> The positive thing about hindsight is that we the human race can learn from it and subsequently re-design things like nuclear power plants, amongst a whole swathe of other technology.

most reactors fail because of humans and money, how can you learn about that?
just look at fukushima, some problems were known, but the management have found that such a event cant happen and saved some money here and there.

After reading couples of recepies,
I rather use this book who is more "factory"/"cheap"/"delicious" in other word, "more efficient" to me. "Five Ingredients, Ten Minutes" by Jules Clancy.

https://www.amazon.com/Five-Ingredients-Minutes-Jules-Clancy...
A similar experiment, called a plate test, is used to evaluate explosives. A small charge is detonated under a very heavy steel plate, often 100mm thick. The height the plate is blasted gives a comparitive measure of power, and the size of the dent tells you about brisance, related to the speed of detonation.

The book Six Degrees by Mark Lynas is a good start. It has extensive references to peer-reviewed papers on the effects of climate change.

We've already had thousands of deaths from heat waves that probably wouldn't have happened in the absence of global warming. By three degrees warming we'll have massive food shortages and hundreds of millions of climate refugees.

I find a lot of anti-nuclear renewables advocates really underestimate the scale of the problem we're facing. This book is a great start to seeing what we're really up against.
Well you can't just "not do it anymore" in those countries, might as well close shop there.

Imagine prices of games would increase 3 times, i.e. one 60$ AAA game would cost 180$. It would be the equivalent raising prices to us/eu level in those countries.

There will be a fraction of people able to buy it and you will get gray/black market with dvds or flash drives where you would get a bootleg copy or just piracy.

I think social democracy is probably closer.

There's free enterprise and the government owns some part of some companies.
Hey well put and on point.
This is not just facebook. This is what all the DMPs[1] in advertising do, and charge millions of dollars for it. There is BlueKai from Oracle, one from Adobe, and various others. The core proposition is to collect as much data about the user to understand the interests (profiling) and then target that user or users like him to get a better conversion rate.

Why facebook emerged as a big player in this field was because the other companies were really expensive for consumer apps and hence they were used only by the biggest players. Facebook made it cheap, automated the process and allowed for targeting without even telling the advertisers what audience needs to be targeted. All at the cost startups and smbs could afford.
Google also does the same. Infact all the big advertising networks do it, or utilize a DMP to do it on their behalf.

I realize that this discussion is about privacy, and in that regard, it should not be allowed by any company. However, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Almost all the big players in travel have huge customer profiles on us, gained by our credit card transactions, credit history, data from insurance and other friendly companies (you scratch my back and I scratch yours) and various other practices which frequently compromise on user's privacy. I dont know how one can solve this though.

Could anyone share some introductory stuff on this actor model? I'd love to have it in my toolbox. (Or hey, I could even pick my way through intermediate material -- I guess I just need material)

I watched the talk a couple of times and went through earlier versions of the code -- but I'm not fluent enough in Rust to separate idiomatic Rust code from actor model code.

Great job and great talk, theanzelm!
The levelized cost of renewables with enough battery storage to make reliable carbon-free power is higher than nuclear, except in areas where lots of hydro or geothermal is available.
Sweet. I really liked the idea of ccs zen garden. But the designs where mostly absolute positioned images and css hacks. a lot have happened to css since ...
We sort of assume without proof that every civilization optimizes for continuation of its own existence. What if it's false and civilizations just detach from the utility function of evolution and choose not to exist anymore?
Wow, thanks for posting your results. This all sounds very promising. I am thinking about gathering a few pieces of data from custom sensors around the house in order to determine what I can do to cut down on energy costs (well that is the excuse ;)) and instead of using kibana and the like I’d rather use a lightweight SQLite dB, your stats make me hopeful of using it for this.

Also it is all just very interesting.
I would recommend blockada. Its open source.
Those are effective means of population control. Propaganda and indoctrination for example where used by every country in WWII because they where efficient methods independent of ideology.

At most you can look at efficient surface similarities and say this ideology does not prohibit these actions.

Yeah, you used to be able to stream on Last.fm, then only in UK, Germany and Japan (iirc), and now it uses a little Spotify widget.
What happens 50 years from now should matter relatively little for people living there now. Property owners and banks start discounting the resale value of the land and large property investments, but it's gradual process.

After discounting property values, Miami will be cheaper place to live in the future and that means that it may attract even more people.
I'm pro-puclear energy, but I also have enough experience and cynicism in life to also know that the biggest danger of nuclear is the human factor itself. As long as men and women will be men and women, there will be errors, malice, corruption, and all kind of factors that will affect our safety. Applying strict measures and processes will limit these risks but the current opacity of this industry is already a bad start and an hindrance to its success. I know it's not an easy problem to fix but it is vital to our safety on the long term.
it could be a http redirect to the cdn
Yeah a bit and haskell is not even the most readable ML in my opinion sml is much more readable as it does not have as many strange symbols scattred around.
IRC deep conversations do happen and indeed you want persistence for those. Communities which rely on IRC use IRC logs for that. Perl projects use IRC that way and I think the Mozilla guys too.
The process is the same. You integrate the SDK and it will keep sending the data. No permission needed either. For a user, he would not even know what SDKs are integrated with the app, as it is never mentioned anywhere and no way to check it either.

I just thought, would Linux's "init" fall under this category with systemd. I am not from Linux background but I've been reading about this recently.
This is the first response I've read that has any legitimacy to it.

They were way too early to market. Supposedly their compensation is or was structured to reward shipping new products/features to an extreme degree. I wonder how things might have turned out if they "shipped" it internally first, and iterated on it a few more times before putting it in the hands of the public.
But why do people adopt 'important' opinions and get emotionally invested or attached to them?
> Then you should read the book Six Degrees by Mark Lynas, who read 3000 peer-reviewed papers on the effects of climate change

No thanks. He's a journalist and political activist, reading his foregone conclusions from selected papers he claims to have read is a waste of time.

I've just sailed into 2-3 meter wide canal after dark here in NZ. Used my previous track from earlier today. 1 meter accuracy is not precise enough to do it safely - had to look for fairly poorly lit nav marks and rocks.
Yeah but losing a kid's motivation is terrible. Having a kid eager to know what's next means the kid will think about it on the commute home, talk about it with his/her parents, ask some hard questions... He/She will be _curious_.

And curiosity is the greatest of all drives. I've spent more hours than I can count following curiosity with no other prize but knowledge. Instead, we've come to tell kids that they should memorise this thing for the next week, and move on.

For a given concept, with three layers of abstraction, if we start bottom-up, with the downmost layer, the kid doesn't know what that layer's good for. That happens until we get to the topmost layer. The layers have no purpose until we've finished 4 months from now. They don't make sense.

If you teach kids backwards, once the kid knows the topmost layer, he/she will know what the next layer is good for and in what conditions shall it exist. The _next layer_ has a purpose, which the kid can understand and expect.

The Socratic method works this way. You start with the general purpose of the system, and then you break it down question by question.

(teacher)- What is this?

(student)+ This is a car.

- What is a car good for?

+ It moves people.

- How does it move people?

+ Because it moves these wheels.

- How does it move those wheels?

+ Because... I don't know (takes a car replica), it has these bar connected to those wheels, and this other bar connected to that bar.

- What happens when you spin that second bar?

+ The wheels move.

- So to move the car, you move those wheels, and to move those wheels you spin this bar, but you don't manually spin this bar when you are driving, who does so then?

+ I don't know.

Now the kid is ready to understand what an engine is.

If we did it backwards, and started with combustion, the kid would have no idea what combustion is for until we've reached the car.
Most of these frameworks are built for iOS first and Android second (you can quickly glance at their marketing material to find proof). There are also no restrictions (policy or system-wise) that prevent these SDKs from uploading data about your profile as well.

It's unfortunate that Android is singled out here - it'll lure iOS users into false sense of privacy.
No. It’s been defunct since Firefox OS died.
The waste from fast reactors is just the fission products. It's about 1% as much waste by volume as conventional reactors. Encased it in glass, and the overall mix will be back to the radioactivity of the original ore in a couple centuries.

The waste from conventional reactors is the fission products plus lots of U238, a fair amount of plutonium, some U235, and various transuranics. The transuranics and plutonium are the really long-lived radioactive waste.
Read the fine article and behold.
This actually never existed. It was vaporware. A good video showing what something should be, not what it actually was.
I am amazed by the animations in 3b1b's videos. They seems enormously labour-intensive, and I wonder if it's all the work of one person.
In America, financial success endears more than ethical behavior. And when the financially successful get away with unethical behavior, it reinforces the idea that financial success and ethical behavior are antithetical, which only encourages even more people to behave unethically.

A big part of the problem is that absent strict and attentive government regulation and enforcement of the law, crime does pay. We tell kids that crime doesn't pay, but that's only true when the government is on the ball.
Well then maybe we should develop reactors that solve the problem. Any fast reactor or molten salt breeder will do it. Russia has two fast reactors in commercial operation right now, and a bunch of startups are working on various designs.
Are software issues as common to other manufacturers?
Civilizations that choose not to exist will stop existing, thus stop being civilizations, thus stop being in scope for discussions about threats and promises of alien civilizations.
WebOS had so much potential. Unfortunately the performance was never there. There are still devices out there with WebOS powered interfaces, I believe LG borrowed bits and parts of it for pseudo smart TV/Projectors. Even the most recent ones, on hardware that should be more than capable, just don't feel responsive.

OTOH, maybe it wasn't that great. There's a lot of kiosks, car head units, set top boxes, etc out there just running extremely stripped down versions of linux or android, just for webkit. It's extremely popular in embedded circles when it comes time to put a ui on a touch screen. (for commercial products, not hobbyists)
Yes, a privacy focused product as proton mail should not be using anything Google.
What we seem to assume is that every civilization optimizes for technological progress and territorial expansion.

That a species would be capable of interstellar travel and not spend millions of years aggressively exploring and colonizing the galaxy as a first priority just seems too alien.

Everything worked in harmony on the N9. Even the slightly curved screen worked together with the swipe-based interface. It'd be brilliant on an all-screen phone like an iPhone X (so would its successor Sailfish for that matter). No buttons to emulate.

I wrote a post about the alarm clock[1] a while ago, which I feel is pretty indicative of the thought that went into each feature.

yes. websites across the world have been banning whole EU countries like there’s no tomorrow. but on the plus side we now we know how it feels for the Chinese and their firewall. only ours is called GDPR.
to put this in context: there are more websites accessible from Hong Kong than from the EU.
France and Sweden built very low-carbon electric grids with nuclear. No country in the world has done that with wind/solar. Some have done it with lots of hydro/geothermal, but those aren't available everywhere.

Yes, but now when it happens the newly created money is there as well.
Personally I consider millions of other species to be part of "the world." I would like for them to survive.
Even if you were right the spent fuel ponds were not safe. Just let an airplane crash there - the reactor may survive it the ponds will not and they may very well be the bigger problem. The amount of radioactivity stored in these ad-hoc structures globally is staggering. Increasing the problem by further investing in nuclear is not a good idea.
Which means the shitty companies are removed from the market and websites and companies that respect their users stop getting undercut by their unethical competition.

WPF evolved into XAML. WPF is considered stable and feature complete.

Now they are working on cross-platform and that's why it had a feature freeze ( + because of graphics). It's now being added in .net core though.

Yep, Hinkley point is ~£95 per MWh while renewables are ~£45. It makes no sense to complain about how polluting coal plants are in relation to nuclear. It isn't the main source of competition.

Germany has been taking both nuclear and coal offline and renewables have been plugging the gap for both for some years now and will likely continue to do so.

It boggles my mind that the nuclear industry itself demands that all disaster cleanup costs over $300 million be shouldered by the government yet it is trying to project an image of how it is the "safe" option. If they don't have enough faith in their own safety to raise the cap why should we?
Well, I guess the really shitty companies simply ignore the GDPR. They might even use some shady business construct to move money and data between companies, while shielding themselves from the regulator.

I had a Kickstarter Edition pebble. It was terrible, both in hardware and software. After a few months it developed an issue when the contents of the display disappeared, and I had to physically press the display to see something (googling this it seemed I wasn't the only one with this problem). It also supported running only 1 watch app at a time, which meant if I had a timer running and I got an SMS which took focus, the timer stopped. I would have thought that running a timer on a watch would be basic functionality...
This research was only just released.
This varies by region. In the US transport and coal power are equal in terms of their contribution. In Nigeria it's diesel and deforestation. But I will concede that it's not "minor" (not sure why I said that...)

I'm not saying that coal is good or nuclear is bad or vice versa. As I said in my original comment, there is no one practical (in terms of safety, efficiency, cost etc) global energy solution right now. I don't believe any coal-powered plants should be built. Should existing ones be replaced by nuclear? Depends on the actual area, geo-political situation (which changes over time) etc.
It's updated! My university (Politecnico di Milano) has an increasing number of MOOCs but still quite small, and all the new ones on FPGA design are on the platform.

Also, classcentral.com has an amazing list of reviews that are really useful in seeing the difficulty of MOOCs.
Not necessarily. I also had a Kickstarter Edition Pebble and I have similar sentiments...

If you take climate change stuff seriously, then the answers are these:

>How many?

As many as you can build. You run out of engineers and
carpenters before you make too many reactors in time.

>What timeframe?

Now.

>Costs?

Doesn't matter that much. Easily cheaper than climate change.

>Who builds them?

Whoever can.

>Which models?

Hardly matters, any model is safer than burning coal.

>Where do we build them?

Doesn't matter. Any location is safer than burning coal.

>What effects does it have when?

Hope that we might have climate change to stop below 3 degrees.
