IMHO that's exactly wrong. The problem is far too much will, and not enough competence. This is the second forum where I've seen a "not enough will" comment, despite it making no sense when you look at the history of the excessive amounts of capital thrown unproductively at the task.

Nuclear has some amazing lobbying going for it, amazing backers that will throw away billions of tens of billions of dollars into black pits of construction hell, despite knowing the rate of so many construction projects before it. And they take this massive risk without the possibility of VC like upsides; the financial upside of nuclear is minesxule compared to the massive risk of building. It makes no financial sense to any rational person.

No, the problem is certainly not a lack of will. The problem is that those pushing nuclear don't know how to build it. They like the idea, but don't have the skills and can't hire people with the skills. Nuclear construction is all a game of raking in some contracting cash and making sure that when the inevitable lawsuit comes due to failed construction, your side doesn't lose.
Seems like many of the costs are design and management overhead that would probably be less of an issue at larger scale?
A non-trivial amount of what I work on is better diagnostics for C. auris. It's remarkably nasty stuff, especially the multi-drug resistant strains! One of those projects where I'm glad I'm on the analysis side of things, and not growing out collections of "interesting" isolates.
Is it about silver bullets, or simply exposing people to the other side? Real life can form echo chambers too.
A lot of these recipes make sense to me, even if I wouldn't necessarily add them to my own tool belt. When my mom taught me and my brothers to cook, she wrote down her recipes for us, and I still have them. Most of them are of this nature, refined over years of feeding three hungry boys on a middle class wage. Also, she's a scientist by training.

There were quite a few recipes that started with browning hamburger and onions.

And I suspect that during my generation, families that still cooked had a lot of these kinds of meals, usually prepared from memory.

So the cookbook is hardly a shock to my sensibilities.
You might want to actually look at the sales figures for the Atari 800. Atari and Commodore were outselling Apple in their day. Commodore did indeed outsell Atari, but Atari wasn't a failure.
The 360/91's FPU was the first full on Tomasulo's algorithm OoO pipeline. Recovering from exceptions and unwinding state is one of the most difficult parts of those cores, so I don't really blame them for punting on that part
Maybe they aren't digging their grave then?
Navigation is not affected. (Unless there is some other bug that bleeds over from the rollover issue)
Well, replace on a orbit with on any orbit on my comment, that's closer to what I meant.

I was also talking about normal orbits, not the highly excentric stuff you get after an explosion. Since the GP was about long term concerns, that's more fitting. Yes, the debris of this one explosion will be almost all (or maybe literally all) gone in a month.

And yes, hundreds of years is still an overstatement. But decades would be an understatement for many of the objects we put into LEO.

From severity to probability, nearly everything on news or discussion sites about Kessler Syndrome seems to be a severe misconception.

There are two or three that I've found in the US (an older list is here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KaiOS#Devices). They mostly seem to have bad reviews, and they aren't cheap here compared to older Android phones.

I think your best bet is a cheaper feature phone, though most in stores are carrier-locked, so you may have to shop for an unlocked one online.
Two stroke engines are not durable. They require frequent rebuilds. There are very few cars and bikes with old two stroke engines survived to this day, and I suspect that quick wear is one of the reasons.

It could have held it's own technologically, except that SEGA were complete dumbshits and their console supported burned CDRs out of the box. That was a coup de grace.

Kids of billionaires are invited to apply to HYP. Multi millioniares (say, someone who has $20M) are afraid whether they can retain that wealth for another five generations; so, that's why they are focused on giving their kids connections and networks that elite schools offer.

If someone has billions, he doesn't need to worry about the side doors. Just pay $10M to get admitted to HYP.

Agriculture. If the world keeps warming we’re gonna need some big changes in the way we make food. Anybody that’s looking to turn server farms into real farms would have my money. Bonus points for modular setups and micro environments to avoid the need for any plant treatment chemicals.
The efficiency of an incandescent lightbulb is directly proportional to its lifespan. Long-life incandescent bulbs are a false economy.

The problem with LEDs is simply that people buy based solely on price. A Yuji high-CRI LED lamp is genuinely indistinguishable from an incandescent lamp, but you'll never see one in a hardware store because they're slightly more expensive.

> As for plant capacity, the largest power plant in the world is renewable (Hydropower):22.5 GW. Compare that with the largest nuclear plant, the Kashiwazaki Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant (currently closed due to safety concerns): 8GW.

Hydro works well and is the best solution if our country has capacity for it, unfortunately, it's not available everywhere.

> The downsides of nuclear are not comprehensively understood. The consequences of Fukushima may be with us for decades or centuries. The interactions between radioactive material, the atmosphere, the ocean, the human body, and other organic matter, are complex.

The downsides are completely understood and the consequences of Fukushima (please specify in your message the nuclear plant) are well studied, the result is that there's not much impact.
winlister for me. It is like process explorer for windows. When you develop something window related and you have no idea where is a window -- winlister can tell you whether it is hidden, or maybe have left-top out of the monitor
I'm not sure how they can calculate safety levels that represent anything measurable or measured accurately. Nuclear plants are black swans, they should be built deep below.

My response was not directed at you personally, but was a response in general for the benefit of everyone reading the topic.

The point being that the human race's total knowledge and subsequent forward movement is based entirely on "that <event> happened therefore <these lessons have been learned and subsequent actions shall be enacted>."
Alright sure. Coal is also a terrible idea for energy and we also shouldn't be having coal.

Pro nuclear people have this bizarre dichotomy as if it's either Charles Dickens 1840 style coal or Star Trek style nuclear.

In reality, cost in storage and renewables are dropping like Moore's law (they have their own thing called Swanson's law) and even if you did everything right with nuclear you'd be losing money on it in the lifetime of the plant compared to things like wind.

Pennsylvania had a bill recently to keep some nuclear plants open... It would involve an increase in the cost of electricity because it's more expensive.

That's why investors have run away from it. The writing is on the wall. Renewables are increasingly cheaper and easier to deploy and scale and the future trajectories heavily favor them.

The only thing nuclear has is a centralization of power, capital, control, and ownership. You have one robber baron waving his scepter over the entire energy consuming public because nuclear is extraordinarily centralized. It keeps energy being run as feudal monarchies and that's a power the industry doesn't want to cede.
Some are critiquing the 18%. As someone who has authored a technical book with a similar caliber publisher, I can confirm that it’s on the generous side. Though typically there would be some form of book advance (few k) and copy editing included as well.

The thing is, the the technical literature industry is kind of like venture capital. Publishers will throw a lot of things against the wall and whatever sticks will net them enough of a return to cover the rest. It can cost upwards of 50-100k to produce a book and most of them tend to flop. It’s really hard to understand which ones will flop as well, unless you have intimate domain expertise and can judge the technology and the community around it as well. At that point however, you may as well write the book yourself.
It's also interesting to note the headline is "Nuclear power is the fastest way to slash greenhouse gas emissions.."

Even if the US was totally committed, and decided to build a brand new reactor right now, how long would it take? A decade?

We can slap up renewables in a fraction of that time, and spend the next decade reaping the rewards, not sitting around waiting for the magical payoff of a reactor that will cost billions to build and operate, and doesn't do us a lick of good for an entire decade!
There are some of what are called solution mines in Northern Michigan that produce nothing but table salt. In solution mining they introduce water under pressure down wells to melt the salt and then retrieve it on the surface where the salt is separated out. My late father used to work for Morton Salt so I got a bit of an education ;<).
As mentioned in another comment, any number of VPN services can accomplish this (though of course VPNs, like any software that records and modifies your traffic, pose a security risk themselves).
No, it started as a "scrobbling" service where you could send data about each track you listened to from the player and service of your choice. For a brief time it was a decent social network and recommendation tool, and it could have been a lot more with the volume of data collected but has languished.
I don't think this approach necessarily helps with that distinction of good breaks and bad procrastination. I think it would be interesting to distinguish those, but I would look for another method if that were my goal. That also isn't to disregard the interest of the experiment above, just to say it doesn't help here.
Is that sarcasm? The exclusion zone of Fukushima is very small and people already live there again. The total impact of Fukushima (the nuclear disaster) is one death of a plant employee and 3 people getting cancer.
Steve Jobs didn’t need a Chinese organ. He just needed to decide he was ready to get the transplant instead of trying to cure his cancer with a special diet. Once he realized he wasn’t curing himself with his diet, he got the transplant quickly because, as you noted, he gamed the system.
Steinberger guitars. They were brilliant to play, they were incredibly lightweight, they were near-indestructible, they could stay in tune for weeks, but they were just too weird to be anything more than a fad. It didn't help that Ned Steinberger had questionable business skills, they never really got manufacturing costs under control, but the basic design was utterly brilliant.

It's accurate to within a meter and works perfectly fine today, without us having to spend billions more on a replacement that could surely be spent on those pesky problems like healthcare or education.

Why wouldn't we keep using it for hundreds of years to come?
This sector certainly is promising however the lack of investment vehicles and legal structure (especially here in Europe) do not allow bullish moves at all unfortunately :/ Otherwise I do share your optimism toward said sector

I have no problem with treating paywall like warez and banning them. The problem I have is that I can't escape paywall like I can warez.

Paywall clogs my search results and my fora even though I don't want it.

It would probably be useful to think of the announcement as a start to these offerings, not their final form. Of course they’re tailored to the US, the US is the single largest market in the world and one Apple understands fundamentally.
So there are problems. Its also the fastest way to the destroy the world. If you dot the world with these things we become one climate disaster or earth quake away from having written a check that our collective asses can't cash.
In 2011, a week after the Japan's earthquake, NYTimes wrote an article that was rather critical of nuclear energy. I wonder when the flip flop happened.

Each country in the EU has different visa rules depending on what type of worker they’re trying to attract. So you should determine which country you’d actually want to live in and research the options. Germany is great if you’re a “freelancer”.

Canada has some new visas that would be helpful but I think you need a job offer. Take a look at the immigration Canada website. There’s a new visa for tech workers that can be processed in 2 weeks.
Yes. Snark.

Then there was the Moonlight knockoff based on Mono. And Mono itself, of course. Dead ends before the project ever started, but they finished and shipped them.

Today, I couldn't find a steel wire brush although it labeled "steel wire brush". The bristles were some type of polymer designed to fail after 1 use. I didn't buy it.
I didn't say it wasn't useful to you. I said it wasn't valuable to others by itself. (At least to anywhere near the extent that people seem to imagine.)
Interesting take. I am not as optimistic about the EU as you are. However, real-estate ownership is almost never a bad thing short of being exposed to massive economic downturns.
> success of ... China

Not sure I'd take that definition of success. China seems like an absolute failure in the face of almost certain success. The CCP seems to ruin every good thing about the Chinese culture, suppress every positive instinct, and punish every decent behaviour. They absolutely do not care about your silly environmental causes, and if you got in the way of any one of their state-sponsored ecological disasters, you would be crushed like roadkill.

I think nuclear power generation is an excellent idea, but if it is somehow incompatible with representative democracy, there just isn't an option, I guess we have to find some other good way to generate power. Though I think the idea that the two are incompatible is nonsense.
I don't want to get in between you two if you're dead set on arguing over the definition of socialism but it seems to me to be unproductive.
If I had to work that hard continuously I’d probably quit and become a beggar instead or something. There are workaholics out there for whom this might be possible but it isn’t sustainable for most people.
Morons...

Who wouldn't be happier - even if you didn't need the money you could donate it to a charity of your choosing. And what are the costs?
This study demonstrates a complete absence of the authors' ability to understand basic concepts of economics...

These clueless socialists likely know the experiment is doomed to failure, but have no choice built to build a narrative that it's a "not ideal, but potentially viable" policy that might work with better oversight and a beefed up State apparatus that would oversee and optimize it. "We'll fix it as we go!"

Then when TSHTF - especially in the EU, USA - this might get implemented across the board or on a regional basis depending on how bad things get.
I learned recently that the state of California collects DNA and blood samples from every newborn, post-1983, and stores it long-term somewhere. It's made available to law enforcement and researchers through some process or other.

You cannot opt-out but you can request that the samples be destroyed. They'll even send you a letter assuring you that it's been destroyed. How kind of them.
It was a streaming site which also had plugins for various media players to let you track what you listened to.

Then you could see tables of what you listened to most, see what your friends listened to, and get recommendations.

I think what happend is that last.fm failed to get deals with the recording companies, while Spotify succeeded (somehow?).

Nowadays I use Spotify like everyone else, but I feel like last.fm gave me much better recommendations. Probably because it had many many years or listening history.
Reading how MiniDisc flopped is always a bit confusing to Europeans (and, presumably, Japanese), as it was actually relatively popular over there. It‘s true that prerecorded media never gained any traction, but for recording your own media from CDs or radios (or later MP3s) it was reasonably common. People especially liked how compact the portable players were.

Then Sony pretty much messed it up with NetMD.
when you say bullish on "AI", which specifically do you find interesting in said sector?
Irrational people sometimes hold a certain position. We should avoid making it so that rational parties could also reasonably come to hold that position.
That goes without saying tbh. I´m just curious as to where people think future growth come from.

You bring up some valid points, yet I remain a used car advocate. A used car does not mean an old car. The last car I purchased was two years old and in quite nice condition. It has a rear view camera, heated seats and steering wheel, and advanced stability controls. I enjoy it, and enjoy that I spent about half as much as if I brought new.
Agreed, agreed.
I dunno for sure as it was the work of my wife and daughter, but it was a fairly big box of `em. We rarely go out to eat so lots of food goes into them, from olives to butter to thawing blueberries to hummus to leftovers. It looks like they got the 24-piece Glasslock set for $25.
It is extremely difficult to clean up thousands of kilometers of contaminated land - esecially if said land is comprised of mountainous area...

Miyakoji-machi itself is situated in a valley surrounded by hundreds of square kilometers of mountainous terrain. To blithley claim it would somehow be easy to decontaminate thousansd of square kilometers of mountainous area is naive folly.

It is an extremely diffcult problem to solve.

Right in the middle of Toronto is the Hearn Generating Station, which only used coal for a portion of its operating life. The area around it requires considerable remediation to be considered for most land uses; only film companies have leased it (and recently purchased it AFAIK) since.
Obviously yes. But that does not tell you much about where YOU think the future is heading. I am interested in what you think will happen in the future. The question phrased as an investment question in order to simulate some sense of "skin in the game"
That´s... not a sector!
I don't believe this is the case at all. When I was in university, everyone I know (including myself) organized into study groups precisely to combat procrastination, and not for any intellectual benefits. It worked. At the end of a day of solo studying, you would feel horrible and ashamed because you got so little done. But at the end of a group study session, you actually feel fulfilled.
Someone replied to you but he deleted it. I meant to continue the conversation with:

If this article (referencing a 2008 paper) https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/13/north-... is to be believed, the UK had the same thing, but the money went to tax cuts for the rich. So it does smell like corruption to me.

[He talked about some conservative governments being corrupt, to which I think:] Conservatism is a con anyway, selling austerity as a pain that the citizenry needs to suffer to get a "healthy economy", which means cutting budgets where somehow the solution is to outsource things (e.g. with the NHS), meaning the private companies owned by the elites rake in the money. And then they sell the "it's the immigrants who are overtaxing our resources" to get the public to vote for Brexit. (Where less EU regulations mean the elite will have more power to influence the government to allow worker exploitation)
I own several. I'd trust any gear used by Allan Holdsworth. Not that it will help sound like him! I'm digging the recent explosion of headless guitars, Strandberg et al. I started playing on a Strat-shaped body so anything different throws me off. Even the bridge position on a Les Paul type body spooks me.

I guess one of the reasons headless/compact guitars don't go outside of the niche of progressive/fusion circles is that it just doesn't have the "cool" factor or traditional bodies. Imagine Duane Allman with a Streinberger, or Clapton, Page etc. Just seems out of place I guess.
As a guitarist that has a few traditional guitars.... I really want to add a headless guitar made out if modern materials (i e. not wood) to my lineup soon!
And he ended up with JCL, one of the worst pieces of work in computing. There were already much better user interfaces then.
