We'll have to go deeper in to the history and physics. The first reactor was passively cooled by air. It was very low power and didn't split very many atoms, so the nuclear decay heat was low after shutdown. Many reactors have been made that cool with natural circulation of air or water but they're all low power. Quickly, the Manhattan Project came along and the military wanted enough plutonium to make an atomic bomb to fight the Nazis. They built a reactor that could do this out at Hanford (the B reactor). They realized that to make enough plutonium, they'd have to increase the rates of the reactions that produce it. This required splitting more atoms, which released more heat, which required more cooling. They quickly went past the regime where it was possible to use natural circulation with the known coolants at the time (air, water) so they used forced flow, eventually passing the heat into the Columbia River.

Fast forward to the 1950s. Admiral Rickover wants nuclear powered submarines to effectively fight the Russians in the Cold War. Submarines are small but want high power, on the order of a few hundred megawatts. This puts them beyond natural circ decay heat removal regime for air and water. So he builds them, and installs appropriate redundant backup systems.

Now Eisenhower has given the Atoms for Peace speech and the commercial industry is starting. They can build a compact high power reactor or large low power reactor (recall it's a heat removal issue). They choose compact, high-power one modeled after the Naval reactors. They were running great and had a whole supply chain. The low-power ones would be orders of magnitude more expensive per kWh.

Meanwhile, starting in the late 1940s and continuing for a few decades, exotic-coolant reactors were developed, with things like Mercury, liquid sodium metal, molten salt, organics, aqueous homogeneous slurry, etc. These reactors can do high power compact cores with passive natural circ. Many were built and operated. But they remained exotic and underdeveloped. The Navy and commercial nukes had built up an infrastructure and experience base. Exotic reactors were more expensive and the LWRs were fine instead of passively-cooled ones.

Today, dozens of startup companies have dug up the paperwork on these exotic reactors and are rushing to try to develop them and associated supply chains to build them cheaply.

So that's how we ended up with the reactors we have.
> It says that it will take 300 years for all the CS to vanish.

Yeah, and that's an obviously wrong statement when taken literally. So which is the more reasonable interpretation: that he was trying to say that the danger from the Cs-137 would take 300 years to vanish, or that he was providing a number that's not just wrong, but also irrelevant and misleading?
And the equivalent idea applied to vaccines gets us measles outbreaks.

Anyone can "Just Ask Questions" about anything: You don't need to know anything, you don't need to have a coherent theory of your own, you just need to bury the people trying to do something in questions which can be answered by a simple review of what's already known.
It also depends on the type of work. If you work on data analytics projects, you probably will need more screen space to fit: code, console / logs, plots, data frame. If you work on web / mobile development, you probably will need less screen space to fit: code, web browser / mobile simulator.

The problem with two monitor setup is that nothing can be at the center, things are always on either left or right side. Ultrawide is great but I hope there can be something wider than 21:9.
I think this setup might just about do it for me.
I think this true for London and Banking as well.
The religious element is somewhat real, due to the Birmingham area being the center of UK car manufacturing for decades. Detroit could be a decent comparison: area built by the motor industry for the motor industry, attracted the poorest and most ethnically diverse elements of society in large numbers, then declined pretty rapidly once car plants closed.

Public transport might help, but alone it’s unlikely it will shift much.
Sounds like bs to me. What about countries with no mass transit?
2 separate monitors is almost always going to win vs 1 ultra wide monitor.

1. You can orient them independently.

2. You can position them in ways that are more suitable to your environment. For example if you wanted a small gap in the middle to fit an eye level web cam, you can do that.

3. If you put them flush together, 2x 24" inch monitors has roughly the same head movement requirements as a single 48" monitor.

4. 2 monitors gives you the option to do a GPU pass through VM which is extremely useful in some cases (running native Linux but wanting native Windows performance for certain apps without dual booting).

5. It's usually easier to manage multiple applications using native window snapping tools. It's also easier to ignore a 2nd monitor vs the 2nd half of a single monitor.
> They didn't receive an education in any western language, so it doesn't matter which country they pick, so long as it's safe and there is money there.

I wouldn't say so. While of course it is hard to be informed as a refugee, the big European countries are naturally much more well known. Refugees to some extent go to Nordic countries because they have heard that it is a place were you can get an apartment, a decent wage and there are resources so you can get on with your life. At this point they probably believe more in the Nordic model than we do ourselves.
Which ones would be that?
Crime driven by inequality? It's very plausibly driven by poverty, poor educational system and extreme social marginalisation (i.e. lack of good social capital), but these are not the same thing as "inequality".

What really rubbed me the wrong way is the Planet Money podcast about Netflix called “Hard work is irrelevant”. If how Netflix is portrayed in the podcast is true, the environment is really toxic and these allegations unsurpring. Here’s an excerpt:

> When I was initially hurt and I needed some time away, I just went into Patty and said, I to take a break. They don't want me to type. They don't want me sitting - all this kind of stuff. She's like OK. That's all she said - OK. Let me know when you're feeling better.

> I was out for weeks, and I kept checking in. Like, I'm thinking, they going to fire me. They're going to find somebody else. And I'd just send her a note saying, they still want me to rest. She'd write back, OK, hope you feel better.

> Six weeks, eight weeks, 10 weeks - I finally went to her and I said, you know, maybe we should formalize this. Maybe I need to go on short-term disability or something like that. And she goes, if that's want you want to do. I said, well, I'd love to come back. She goes, yeah, kiddo, I don't know. And I'm like, OK. And I knew it immediately. It's like, OK, they've already pivoted.

I think a much more likely explanation for Birmingham's low productivity is that it has the highest share of people with no qualifications (education) in the UK and the gap is becoming wider (https://www.centreforcities.org/reader/train-attract-retain-...).
The Heritage foundation wants a fully privatized school system:

> One promising way to improve resource allocation is to give parents the ability to use their children's share of public Education funding to choose the right school for their children. Children benefiting from school choice programs have higher test scores than their peers who do not benefit from school choice.

Or could it be that parents who would use vouchers are the same parents who are actively involved in their children’s education so those are the same kids who would do better anyway?

That said, my understand is that “it’s the teachers, stupid”. Systems that have better teachers, through a combination of means (better pay, better prestige, better training and continuity) have the best outcomes:

So yes, pouring money into the system isn’t a magic fix, especially if none of it goes to teacher salaries.

You are literally the one that are trying very hard to hold onto the technicality of my wordings, and twisted it such a way to fit in your interpretation and criticism of my comment, while I have already given you more than enough explanation on my part regarding my message.

The wordings in my comment are completely irrelevant here, whether it should have been "always" or "generally". The main point being discussed here is you are obviously viewing "inconsistent viewpoints" as a negative trait while in fact it is positive and desirable in my personal interpretation.

My previous comments were simply an analysis of the current world trends which I have observed. I even clarified to you that I was referring to McKenzie Bezos so I am unsure why you were being so defensive and even aggressive in accusing me of such.

Let's just leave it here as we should never force our own personal views onto others. I have provided more than enough of my personal opinions on this subject. Everyone has the rights to interpret the world in whichever ways they wish that fit with their personal ideologies.
I’m afraid that has more to do with Imgur than the original pictures.

The typical "accept reality and get over it" mentality has repeatedly and consistently been used throughout history to justify plunder. One might even wonder if it ever has been used for anything else.

There was a time when legal businessmen, with sincerity, claimed that a dark skin color made you deserve to be slave.

"When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it." ~ Frederic Bastiat
It's realistic. Just ask the Baltic states (invaded, colonized), Finland, Austria, Poland, Czeckoslovakia, Georgia, Ukraine, Afganistan. I'm sure I'm leaving out a few. Or, just compare the German experience to occupation by US/UK/France on the one side and Soviet Union on the other.
They are measured diagonally so the width of 2x24 is not the same as 1x48. Also the bevels do take up a noticeable amount of space, but will likely get better.

I definitely agree about the window management though. I went from 2x27 to 1x34 and found it much easier to organize windows on the two displays.
| The US could bring at least two dozen new nuclear power plants online per year. It could do that with only modest impact on its massive economy.

Honestly, I don't see what's wrong with that discussion topic. I personally haven't come to a conclusion myself.

On one hand, knowing it's associated with racists makes me hesitate to ever use it. On the other hand, why should I let them change my behavior when a minuscule bit of research would show that I'm clearly not a racist? Like with many such things, it mostly depends on the context, but would be interested in the conversation and not so quick to dismiss it as pointless.

Good call on the diagonal measurements but it's not a big difference in the end. Both of my monitors have about a 1/4" inch bezel. So there's 1/2" of extra space and this monitor isn't made to have slim bezels. If you need to move your neck to see an extra 2 inches, that's not really going to make a noticeable difference in the end. You can also choose to sit back a fraction of an inch further to fit more in your field of view.
That’s a big change from your earlier “What happens 50 years from now should matter relatively little for people living there now”. People need to plan now for those big disruptions because they’re either going to live long enough to be directly affected, because any buyer will be taking that into account, or both. Miami won’t go to zero overnight but everyone should assume that the next 50 years will be quite different from the past 50.
I’m similarly perplexed at RE. For one, I make a good living and yet I can’t find decent, affordable homes near me. They’re all dated and much too expensive/soft. Dated in that they almost never have AC despite climate change making it necessary in the area - and rampant lead paint/asbestos.

Apartment buildings are similarly dated. Last I looked, in a big city apartment complexes were rare if they had one or two charging spots. They don’t exist in smaller or less affluent towns.

I think RE suffers from a similar situation as infrastructure regarding retrofitting and upkeep in the US. Once it’s built, there’s almost no inherent market mechanism for keeping structures up to date.

That may be politically more difficult when a substantial portion of the population insists that lower taxes and less government/regulation are an absolute good, to be pursued in all circumstances.
This article is patent nonsense. Nobody knows what the fuck is going to happen to Miami in 50 years including the author, and an anecdotal poll of front line real estate agents is mindless.

Even in that context the real estate agent’s worldview seems a lot more sanguine than hers. History has shown in this country that you’re a lot more likely to be right predicting that the rich will figure out how to preserve their assets than betting on the other side of that argument.

A shame because it’s an interesting topic.

What will a city like Miami look like in 50 years? It’s an interesting question with a lot of unpredictability in it, based on combinations of climate science, financial predictions, cultural shifts, and some guesswork.

Would have loved to read an article about the various perspectives on that, but that would have required the author to really do some work. Instead they decided they knew the answer already and flew there to make fun of people just trying to get through a day at work.
A database storage engine, a decent one by modern standards at least, has to do some things in background and rewrite the data continuously either way. Log structured with all the scrubbing, merging, compression, optimizations, etc. naturally allows for a tunable unused space pressure, merging/moving things from tail to reuse the space as aggressively as necessary. And if the log is spread across many files, it's even possible to release unused files to the filesystem by unlinking them, although this is not really important for DELETEs, only for shrinking, scaling down.

So, it's definitely a good way to design a databases storage engine. But there isn't one open source as far as I know. There are some better than default choices though.

It wasn't only marketing. Either the codebase was bad or the browsers at the time were not powerful enough for it.

If ITER were augmented with a blanket and turbine to turn its gross fusion output into electrical power at 40% efficiency, the cost would be just ~$100/W(e), or two orders of magnitude higher than PV. Even adjusting for capacity factor (stipulating the fusion reactor at 100%), it would be ludicrously uncompetitive.

Part of the reason for this is just how massive ITER is. The power density of the reactor is 0.05 MW/m^3, some 400 times lower than the power density of the reactor vessel of a commercial PWR.
No it isn't. Agile software development assumes management knows what it's doing - which is often not the case at all.

Agile is primarily about managing down assuming a coherent goal exists - not about finding the best coherent goal when it doesn't, or even about being able to tell that it doesn't.

Agile business management doesn't really exist as an established practice. Although you can certainly find books, consultants, and all the usual noise that use the term, the idea that you can recursively define your business strategy - not your implementation - by solving the problems that provide the best customer satisfaction at the lowest implementation cost isn't as common as it should be.

The obvious complication is that the definition of "customer" varies. A bootstrapped startup needs to focus on real income-generating customers.

A VC-funded startup is in a different market. The primary customers are actually the VCs and other investors - not product users, whether they're paying or not.

Pieter Hintjens is always worth reading, even though his "solutions" are wildly oversimplified and contingent. Here he takes it for granted that solving customer pain points should always be the primary value-generating goal - which for better or worse happens not to be true, especially for startups.

To imply that Florida is the sole reason that the National Flood Insurance Program will stay is really out there. Other states along the Gulf are big recipients, and there's always the chance that a hurricane will swing up the eastern seaboard, in which case everything from Georgia to at least North Carolina will be using that program. There's also the chance of inland flooding if there's enough snowmelt or rain so that the Mississippi overflows its banks.

That being said, I agree with you that the program should go away. I'd like to have it phased out over the course of 10 years so that people can adjust to the new prices rather than have a huge shock up front.
