(I think this is an important period to understand. History repeats.)
“NuScale's design doesn't depend on pumps or generators that could fail in an emergency because it uses passive cooling. The reactors would be in a containment vessel, underground and in a huge pool of water that can absorb heat.

That means that even a reactor that fails would still be safe. "It doesn't require any additional water," says Feldman. "It doesn't require AC or DC power. It doesn't require any operator action. And it can stay in that safe configuration for as long as is needed."”

What if there’s a leak? What if for some reason the temperature inside the reactor is slight enough to vaporise the water?
The claim under dispute is:

> the exchange effectively has a position in the market too, unlike traditional exchanges like the NYSE. They have to buy bitcoin from other exchanges

Exchanges don't have to buy bitcoin from other exchanges, and exchanges don't necessarily have a position in the market.
I used to use org-mode as a task manager/calendar. As you can see from the manual[1], it has features that overlap with Evernote more than Todoist.

Todoist works well as a way to capture things that need future processing during the busy times of your day, and for getting notifications, but it is limited beyond that. {Disclosure: I'm a current Todoist Premium user and use it heavily.}

Not everything I'm running is open-source, but I made the same concession with Google in this case. Not using any other Google offering. Avoiding them by choice.

Nest products were the one exception. Previously owned several Nest Protect units and a thermostat. Moved, and installed a Nest thermostat and some temperature sensors. Just a couple of weeks ago, finished writing a data collection script to look at the temperatures in various rooms of the house. Mostly to have some real-world personal data to play with. Was hoping to write an Alfred workflow to change the temperature from my laptop.

Now I've lost those options, and in addition, I will have to have a Google account. (That is how the notice reads, right? You don't have to convert immediately, but you will have to convert eventually?)

Almost consider it my fault. I trusted Google in this one case after losing trust in Google in many other cases. “Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.”

Will probably start looking for alternatives. Hopefully the corporate machine is paying attention to this, and will realize that attempting to force users into your ecosystem will drive many of them to different ecosystems. But it will take time and effort to regain user trust.
Seriously, I get the sense that the take-away is intended to be "you can be an older woman and still have a career AND a child if you just work hard!" when really material wealth seems to be a bigger factor. She even mentions having a fulltime nanny for the first four years of the kid's life. It's not that surprising that your rate of book writing only slightly slows when you have hired help for the hardest years of child-rearing. This sentiment is lampshaded several times but is still way understated.

I'm not trying to say that her experience was easy, I'm sure it was really hard. I just think the empowering "you can do it too" message is severely undercut by the privilege.
Sincere thanks for an excellent reply. It’s better than I deserve for how snarky and pseudo-clever my reply was.

I don’t always have hope. I think I’ll go for “or die trying”. Build that world or die trying.

Those people won’t change. 100% agree. The others can learn and adapt and curb risks and manage and mitigate and unify. Communicate.

It’s possible to build small altruistic groups. I think I’m willing to expend effort on increasing the size limits.

At least when I went to school it was almost impossible to keep a window open except on the hottest days of summers because inevitably n>1 [almost always] girls would start to complain about draft. (edit: is draft in a room with only one opening to the outside a social construct?)

That being said I always keep the window open in my office. There is no draft.

I mean isn't this true of any game? At night I can race across abandoned mines with 11 other people around the world, fight pink blobs at the Fountain of Dreams and adventure across medieval lands with mithril swords. I don't do any of this in real life.
That's never, ever happened to me.
Exactly. If I move to France on a temporary work visa with my 10 kids, they don't automatically get to stay indefinitely or get granted citizenship somehow just because their parent has a work visa. They have no French parent and weren't born there so their rights as visitors are limited.

Everytime these discussions come up there are all these articles and pundits passionately advocating for the US to have extremely wide open immigration rules that are not observed by any other country in the world, and they claim racism if it doesn't happen the way they want. This constant race-baiting they do is racist in itself.
No luck with my 3 month job search
Why is getting into software engineering/ Web Development field near impossible? I don't understand. I have done all that I can:
1. Building projects non stop/putting them on GitHub.

2. Applying to as many jobs all with personalized cover letters.

3. Working with my university career services

4. Working day through night to improve my code and skills

I had ONE interview out of 86 applications and they never called back. Why is it that companies aren't willing to give Jr software engineers a chance? It seems that they expect a 'JR' to have 8 years of experience but is not realizing we are expecting this to be our first job in the field. I understand that the companies are taking risk to hire someone without experience BUT why not offer a lower pay for a few months? It is not my intention to upset people on here but I'm desperate for answers and I strongly want to get in to this field soon!
And it's not hard at all to see different pieces done, which individually do not make a crime. However these 10 pieces (read: Agile cards) do make illegal actions possible.

The management approved this, and the devs worked on it. The devs certainly didn't execute said code. Now, if they were discussing "this feature allows fraud but we're going to do it anyway" over jira or email, roast'em.
Yup. compare this to i.e. Philippines. I only had to wait 2 yrs for my GC while a lot of my indian colleagues are still waiting. Due to the extreme backlog, they couldnt really plan long term for their families.

It's a famous story: https://slate.com/business/2013/03/paid-search-ads-did-ebay-...

If a large brand like Uber wouldn‘t buy (really expensive) keywords like „uber“ some of their rivals like lyft could bid on it. So uber would lose a customer who was really interested in uber to lyft. Exchange company names how you like. Its especially expensive for shops etc.

Google will not change any rules to forbid bidding on brand names because they are making a ton of money of it. Think of something like amazon paying more than $1 for every click just to not loose any potential customer. Adwords is a money burning system.

What are you implying?

There's nothing inherently wrong with Chinese people, or others posting about China.

If you're talking about the timing, its probably because the US has been asleep whilst all the news has been happening, and now all the journalists are posting their stories, and people are reading stories and posting them here.

Good. One less reason to use this type of garbage in your house anyways.
Although NuScale is not the first to focus on this type of implementation (Westinghouse, Areva, B&W, etc..), namely small modular reactors (SMR), I am glad to see more hands in the mix. As a South Carolina resident (and supporter of nuclear power) and witnessing the shit-show with SCANA and the cancelled VC Summer plants, I am hopeful that economies of scale can take effect in the SMR-based designs.
Vatican City with its 1000 population and India with its 1.4 Billion population are allocated the same number of visas.

Yeah, your game might be fun, but I'll get bored of it.

I went through something similar. I'm a cofounder at a small startup and had a difficult health scare with myself, my wife and both kids, all around the same time.

Ceritnaly no right answer, and it was hell at the time, but looking back, here's a few things:

My cofounder took care of my many shortcomings during that time, no questions asked. He also has a family (which may help in that mutual understanding) but he'd get tasks with no context and say "don't worry, I'm on it" and it just got done. I hope you can get to this point with your other founders.

Your startup is more resilient than you think. I missed many things during that time, respond badly to emails, missed calls and we came out the other end alive. I realized we weren't as fragile as I thought. Ironically some of those missed calls and poor emails still turned into customers. Your startup will be able to handle you making mistakes and being less involved when needed.

I took me a long time to get back to "normal". It felt like chaos for almost 9 months and at some point, it may feel like the chaos will never end. You need to know that it will get better and you will begin to feel sane, even though it may take a while.

This may controversial, but the family and startup are not mutually exclusive, so I never think of it in terms of balance. The fact that you started a company means you're probably happier there than at a large company, being happier makes you a better husband and father and family unit, and that family unit will be your support through the ups and downs of building a company.

Good luck, you can do it.
The big problem here is that there are a lot of people that have spent a lot of money in buying quality hardware that isn't just for leisure, it's for protection. I'll cite my 4 Nest Protects and an outdoor camera as an example. If somehow they get "sunsetted" due to some Google whim, fad or Because They Can, then I'm going to be pretty p*ssed to say the least. Based on past experience I don't trust Google to act in the users interest.
Sorry for typo, fixed.

Reading thru it, it is not as brutal as it sounds, more that the they merged it into the Google Assistant API, removing direct access permission to the NEST device (remember microphone-gate with NEST) and consolidating those permissions into Assistant.

Whilst they are killing it off, they have a transition.

However, as far as timelines go - August 2019 kill off date for the NEST API is brutal and not exactly the grace period users of connected devices/software will appreciate or in many a cases with tech designed for non-technical people - know nothing until suddenly in August find what was working yesterday is now not working.

Be interesting to get the perspective of the Assistant API for NEST interaction over the current NEST API. Any functionality that is now no-longer an option and show-stopper? Any improvements?

Still, they could of done what they did with Map's and monerterised the API. Not that there is nothing stopping them doing that with the Assistant API. Which with some businesses has become the norm.

Maybe API's need some sort of Long Term Support flavours, least be much fairer for any transitions taken down the line.
Most cars should be leaky enough to get fresh air in at the same time. This is why you smell skunks even on recirculate.
I'm curious, does anyone here invest in books (or trade in rare books in order to get the books they want)?
I agree to a certain extent, ( And the list is missing Elixir / Erlang )

But if we look at it from a very high level, I see this sort of happening already because Kotlin and Swift are very similar. They have both taken all of their ancestors's good idea and repackaged it within their own constrain. ( JVM and Objective-C ).

And combatively speaking, Rust is new. It hasn't been tested by millions of developers and production usage. Where they may find edge case in its concept and design, before we reach a conscious to replace C or C++, if that is even needed.

CoffeScript died ( in terms of Development, not usage ), because JS evolved, someday TypeScript may died too, as it itself might become the future of JS.

So over time these PL and idea converge, and consolidate. And through Natural evolution we will reach that point you described, with few languages that all look similar. And I would not be surprised if 5 - 7 years down the road C# ( Microsoft ) , Kotlin ( Google ) , Swift ( Apple ) all looked similar.

As to why it shouldn't be just one languages, well I doubt M$, Google, Apple will ever play along well with each other.

About the water vaporizing: I'm guessing the pool is so "huge" that the sheer amount of energy required to vaporize the water can't be found in the fissile fuel alone. That doesn't account for the possibility of a leak, though.
Leaks are designed out because the entire reactor vessels are surrounded by a giant swimming pool. The temperature stays low enough because this swimming pool is passively cooled.

Lack of relible decay heat[1] cooling caused both Fukushima and three mile island accidents. Having passive decay heat removal usually decreases the probability of core damage by about 100x.

When Does Market Timing Work?
I have been lucky to be able to pick what I want to use, so I pick non-rails stack (Sinatra/Padrino and now Roda + Sequel). No other tool works as half as Sequel. You're gonna have to pry Sequel from my cold dead fingers.
This doesn't materially affect the cost-benefit of nuclear.

You just have to build the plants with slightly larger cooling towers and use slightly more cooling water.
It will be interesting to see if some open source firmware comes out of this. I wonder if we will see people "jailbreaking" their IoT devices to work with more open/collaborative marketplaces.
> people kill people

which is exactly why removing people out of the equation is the best way to solve the problem. even fully educated and hyper responsible person is not immune to judgement lapses, hallucinations, heart attacks, strokes, losses of consciousness and many more modes of failure.

what's worst - even if i'm 100% sure about myself, even if i take myself out of the equation - there are still thousands murderous humans driving around me.

humans should not be driving cars.
Thank you for sharing. Sincerely curious what you mean by "A bit of money". I'm lucky that I didn't have to have therapy. My guess is unless your insurance/job covers mental health, it's at least $50/hour (closer to $100 or $150 if in a major city). Surely not much for the possible benefits (and on a developer salary), but I'm wondering how expensive such services are.
Update - I had an opportunity to ask someone who definitely knows exactly what the rules are in Denmark and they said that if Google refused to refund you would have to take them to court but they are also certain that any eventual legal process would find Google liable for refunding as long as the Nest was ever marketed for its now no longer functioning capabilities.
I wouldn't say it's very popular... I rarely see trucks that are sporting DPF deletes, though I guess if you live somewhere like Texas with an insane truck culture, it's probably more popular than elsewhere.
> Kotlin is rising in popularity because it's turning out to be the better Java that Groovy and Scala weren't.

I'd say Kotlin is rising in popularity mainly because it's a Java alternative backed up by Google.
Although the longer counting takes, the more difficult it becomes for a substantial number of people to monitor the entire process. In the UK, counting takes place overnight, immediately after the polls close; it's feasible for multiple parties to ensure they have people at every location for the entire time, keeping an eye out for irregularities.

If the process were extended over a week instead of a night, it becomes correspondingly harder to ensure that there was never an opportunity for someone to tamper.
That's not at all how it started. It started as a way to host your own domain for free and that's how they advertised and supported it. 10 years on they changed their mind but that's bullshit.

I was your guinea pig so you could perfect the service for business users, now that you're done with that experiment you want to hang us all out to dry.
That's pretty much a given, by both location and temperament.

A system can have both good and bad parts. The good parts cannot protect the system from criticism about the bad parts.
Agree with your sentiment. At that point is a philosophical issue though. What exactly do you mean by "you" and "self"?

There's a special network in the brain called the Default Mode Network (DMN), which is responsible for our sense of "self" or ego. The DMN can be shut down and you can feel what it's like to not be "your self".

If you are curious about this, lookup Gary Weber on YouTube. Michael Pollan's latest book (How to change your mind) is also very good.
>I think it probably has average infrastructure shared over too many connections.

Which makes it indistinguishable from terrible infrastructure :)

More people sharing the infrastructure also means more people paying for it. So in terms of value for money London's internet infrastructure is terrible even by your very lenient definition.
Curiously, I first heard of Cioran in a novella by Jim Harrison, whose fiction runs much to the outdoors and the active life. I don't think that his writings are hard to find in the U.S., though on the other hand I first read a book of his this year, about 35 years after encountering a mention in the novella.

As I recall, the book I picked up had a blurb by Susan Sontag, a fairly big name in the US literary world. I have the impression that Martin Gardner included a piece on Cioran in his collection The Night Is Large, but I can't be sure.

(Now I want to catch the bus to Bridge Street Books to see if they stock Cioran.)
He should join Tesla :)
I feel for you. I really do. I've been through this repeatedly. And it's a UI problem that's your job to fix, not the customer's fault.

Here are some things you can do:
- repeat the backordered message on every page: home page, category page, product page, cart page, checkout page
- have them select a delivery date while adding the product
- add messaging that the customer is "reserving their unit in priority sequence", not purchasing it
- set it out of stock and harvest their email, with the promise to only use it to notify when it's back in stock

All of these WILL HURT CONVERSION RATES, but that's the tradeoff for reducing return/refund rates.
This mind trick works for some and at its core it's the same idea of compartmentalizing. There are different ways to get to compartmentalizing and yes, it does help clear the mind, reduce anxiety/mind chatter by grouping and labeling things/thoughts somehow (by personal choice) such that when something arises to the conscious mind it can be located, acknowledged and dealt with at a later time if needed.
Generally, use recirc only briefly when driving through heavy exhaust, smoke, dust, chemicals, smells. Return to fresh air once you've cleared that.

Some sources suggest recirc for heavy traffic -- I'd prefer a good filtration system.

And for rapidly heating or cooling a car, recirc can help. My preference is to open windows & sunroof (where present) to flush out hot air first, in hot weather. In cold weather, the heater won't kick in until the engine has warmed up, so recirc before that buys you little. And recirc + heat can result in fogged windows, so you may want to turn in the AC as well to rduce humidity. (Many cars now activate AC when defrost is selected.)

I rarely keep recirculated air set for more than a minute or two, most often far less.
A very simple example could be a website that takes unsanitized forum posts. Include a link to a malicious script in your post, and anyone who visits that page loads the script.

For another example, you could imagine a page on a website that includes the contents of a URL query in the response. For example, you visit www.goodsite.com/search.php?q=PurpleZebra, and the page displays "Your search for PurpleZebra did not return any results."

Now in the URL replace "PurpleZebra" with "<script src='evilsite.com/script.js'>" and trick someone into clicking on that link - now the error page delivered by goodsite.com includes the script from evilsite.com.
There are also some interesting aspects of spirituality in this question. If you are a spiritual person you might look at how the ideas around akhlaq or samsara impact personality, it's an interesting philosophical thought experiment. :)
It's not about the parent (which is not a job by the way). We are talking about actual people turning 21 and having no choice but to leave the country where they spend their whole life based on the situation of a different person. I personally have difficulty thinking of a more unfair situation.

Note that the USA is pretty exceptional in this regard. Most countries don't ask for people to be permanent resident before being able to apply for naturalization and children of immigrant having lived their whole life in a country can just apply for and be granted citizenship.
I don't watch TV ads, but a giant Chromebook ad is now cycling on the billboard next to my office.

I really wish more jurisdictions would ban billboard ads.
