Come on, the classical nuclear power plant is highly expensive to build and decommission. If the problem was purely public perception, we could have hundreds of plants far away in deserted places and transport the power on power lines. In reality, many nuclear constructions stalled or were stopped when cheaper alternatives became viable.

They both are hybrids so don’t even fall under the same category as electric cars for most people.

The bmw website doesn’t even show options for 330e so that seems to be discontinued and for the 530e the electric range is 16 miles, so basically a luxury Prius.
Welp, it appears they have not-insignificant PR backlash from handling this so poorly. If a restaurant owner wants the domain for their website it'd probably be a real PR win for grubhub to just transfer ownership.
> They just didn't have the strength to make that move, for whatever reason.

The reason is well known: BMW has been too focused on sustaining innovations extending their current strengths than disruptive innovation that will eventually displace them -- classic Clayton Christensen:

Because they are the only manufacturer of EVs that look and feel mostly like regular cars. It's really that simple. Also, please don't miss the "I believe" part of my statement, I have zero facts to back this up, it's just my opinion.

Who cares? I want my car to be 100% optimized for not looking like a deranged design experiment. I want it to look like all the other cars. I, just like most other people, aren't special and don't really care to look that way either.

FDSGSG is absolutely correct. He should have immediately processed a refund on the $600 as soon as he saw the transaction. By not doing so he risked getting a chargeback and loosing not only the $600 but an additional $10 PayPal chargeback fee.

There is no risk of OP loosing $1,200 to two refunds if he went through the proper refund procedure. A transfer can only ever be refunded once.

The way of the modern world is that contracts are getting so obscure and hard to parse that I imagine we'll see more cases like this - with courts upholding the objections from the smaller parties because writing a contract that is incomprehensible is a form of negotiating in bad faith.

The article says they turned over the domain to the restaurant on their request. Also it sounds like this is not just fine print; they advertise this service as part of their offering to businesses. Finally, if you are running a business, you cannot plead ignorance on the fine print. You need to read contracts that you sign, or pay a professional to do so.
So you need the business, don't have time to get into the details, have a company that takes care of those details for you, brings you an additional volume of orders that you seek, takes the commission they earned and you agreed to, and turns over the domain upon demand.

It sounds like a nearly ideal business arrangement to me. I'd be far more troubled about the burying of positive reviews for people who refused to pay for advertising than I am for someone living up to the letter (and I believe the spirit) of the agreement with respect to microsites and domain/URLs.

I live in West Virginia and have no household access to broadband internet service. (No cable or DSL available here) The square mile around me has dozens of homes with incomes above the US median. Our area is not especially rugged, but the West Virginia government is both corrupt and incompetent. We are all cheering on Starlink and this new effort from Amazon. The only question is whether 5G will get here first!
What is it about the diagrams that you find to be high-quality? I’m a technical writer and just curious about what stands out to readers.
The internal politics in these companies has to be brutal - there are 1000+ people divisions not to mention hundreds of subcontracting companies to whom building an EV is an existential threat. Think ICE component engineers, gearbox experts, all the companies producing the parts for those cars... so MANY people that have vested interest into making sure that the corporation doesn't fire them and redirect resources to the EV project.

I wonder if those kind of corporations will even be able to change their direction in time.
If you use that level of accounting nuclear plants also have a sizeable footprint just from their concrete useage in construction.

I am a fan of nuclear but current economics seem against it even if they are driven by irrational reactions.
> No lag, always full torque.

Just like any EV, but without ludicrous acceleration of top tier EVs, or just that of average sport car. And despite being an RWD car, it turns and handles the road not much better than FWD econoboxes, which means no actual motorsport person was involved in its design.
Yeah I don't really consider hybrids EVs to be honest. I want to get off fossil fuels, not have a token battery that barely gets me out of the driveway.
Electric cars still require mechanical engineers, and probably a similar number of them to an IC car. Except for the engine itself, most things are not engineered in-house, suppliers like Bosch/ZF/etc provide components to specs.
However, Frontends are also expensive when you look on other metrics. They consume battery for example on a mobile device.

> GQL allows for the client UI/UX to describe what it needs, and the backend delivers that, within the context of well defined data structures that can then be distributed.

In the other model, it is done in the same way, except it is being executed in the backend and not the frontend.

Both the frontend and the backend are general computing platforms, but they have different characteristics in terms of performanc, connectivity, control etc.

Most UI/UX requirements are not that specific that only a frontend heavy implementation will be adequate to fulfil the requirements.

Please keep in mind that back in the old days, when we didn't have JS in the browser, all html was rendered on the server and a thin client was rendering it.

And even in right now, sometimes there are architectures popping up that try to make the client thin and the push the majority of the computation to the backend: Like for example Google's Stadia.
I haven't touched any of those Linuxes yet run FreeBSD as my primary laptop OS, a home server and a few remote servers just fine. It takes more time to get FreeBSD running properly than, say, Debian, but nothing to put new users off. There are HOWTOs on how to get it quickly operational on a solid level, for example, for desktop use [1].

While you're doing the initial configuration, you get to learn a good deal about what the OS is made of. I found investing a little time to get familiarized with the system components results in more confidence as a user, rather than simply letting the OS do its magic and then wondering how it works later on. Like moving into a new house... You want to know where the fuses are and how to shut off the gas valve.

Bitcoin might work for small-scale crime, but as demonstrated by things from Ross Ulbright to the recent arrest of people for the Bitfinex hack [1], we see it doesn't work reliably for large-scale crime. And it especially won't work for businesses trying to be legitimate, which is the main target of this law.

A database is a huge API to share with another team, and queries from other people add load with a principle-agent problem [1]

Give people a firehouse of events or deltas, though, and if they want to query it, performance is now their problem - they build the database, update it, index it, etc.

This is part of scaling organisationally, not just removing the database as a bottleneck.

Events are also a route to making cache invalidation - one of the hardest problems in CS, as we know - tractable. Build your caches as services that consume the firehouse, and invalidate based on a join between events and the cached data.

I'm glad I'm not alone in this! you can tell so much from a grocery store, and it's something I always do. People commented that It's odd, but nothing is better than local selection and too many people really value "experience" over price.

I don't care if you can get the same item from the company in it's fancy downtown store, or a few blocks away at the grocery store. It don't really matter and becomes a tourist trap.

>Even if 599 of those are false positives, that 600th person would probably never have been caught.

Society needs to accept that some percentage of crimes will invariably occur. Our question is "what maximum level of crime can we accept?" which then determines the time and resources required to achieve that level. I have no patience for this "zero-tolerance" rhetoric.

Tesla cracked the problem of making people buy electric cars in significant numbers. Everything else is a supply-chain and manufacturing optimization problem.

Course the traditional laid hedgerows usually had trees spaced along them as well, sometimes quite closely. The best country lanes are those with traditional hedges either side, where the trees have met to create a green shaded tunnel. They brought in some regulations around hedgerows not too long ago, but it seemed like too little, far too late. Limiting field size seems overdue too given how much they've changed, even over my lifetime.

Coming from the north of England, I'm often struck when I get to Scotland or down south just how extra sparse trees seem across the north.

I would dearly love to see progress to reforest the UK.

Oh the irony of that statement, needing Python 2 and 3 on our systems for years.
Karma. One has to see that they recently launched their new X5 that was WAY bigger than the predecessor and they seemed to be quite proud of it. They even launched without a hybrid option (just as they do not offer hybrid with their brand new X2). So building new, fuel guzzling SUVs was their idea to please the shareholders instead of making cars smarter.
You've said that repeatedly in the thread so I looked it up, and like everything it just depends. Dry weight for some F-150 configs is actually sightly less than an M8, but some configs (like the Raptor) weigh significantly more.
A single impact can't put something into a higher circular orbit-- it can create an elliptical orbit with a higher apogee (max distance), but the correspondingly nearer perigee (closest approach) means that it experiences more atmospheric drag and falls out of orbit faster.

Nice to see more symbolic work going on in Julia. It's kind of the wild west where tons of fast computational algebra libraries are being generated, and each does something unique and specific. I think someone might need to take them all and generate a SAGE-like pure Julia system sooner or later.
But graphql cannot do more than the API already does? It’s constrained to the capabilities of the API. Such as if there’s no way of updating a field, graphql won’t do that either? So it can only make over-fetching more efficient? And by what you are saying, it’s more complicated to create a new resource than incorporating several endpoints with graphql, I find it hard to believe.

I do a lot of data science tasks in Python and R and 8GB is definitely a show stopper a lot of the time. It makes life easier when I can just write naive code that loads all of our training data into memory.

I like to work locally when possible but often have to move things to our 512GB servers for speed. For GPU heavy stuff I'm running things on our Nvidia machines only but lots of non-GPU tasks are still memory bound.

16GB or better 32GB would allow me to go to the server probably 25% and 50% fewer times, respectively. Which would be great!

I understand that it's an independent polity, but it's also surrounded by other urban areas.

I can get a 51 minute bus ride from an apartment complex in East Palo Alto to a Safeway, which does cost about $5 but that's a discussion for another day; my point is, East Palo Alto only has "one grocery store" if you ignore everything surrounding it.

One option is to subsidize the trees as a future investment for the one planting. While this won't do much to get people to plan trees where cities are at, in more rural areas you can convince someone to plan trees that will be able to be harvested in 50+ years. The only catch is that the people who own land are likely old enough they won't see the returns themselves, but if you present this as a method for investing in your children's future it could get buy in. A contract could also include an early sell penalty to dissuade people form cutting too early. Something like "If you sell early, the government is owed 50% of the total sell value. This percentage reduces by 1 per year until it reaches 0% at 50 years. This is in addition to any taxes owed on the sell."

Also, just advertisement and information campaign aimed at getting people to plant trees in rural areas as an investment in their children's future would encourage more planting as well.
Edit Edit: Rethinking this (frankly being called out is always time for reflection) I suppose my first request for my own education is to get a size of the problem - looking at the Rochdale case in the UK it is seemingly large - and can our knowledge of published images help size the problem.

I think the Yucca mountain debacle is enough evidence to show that putting nuclear facilities, granted not generation, “in the middle of nowhere” is not a panacea.

It’s a third rail after Chernobyl and 3 Mile Island, the public perceives it as far too risky to allow anywhere near them. No one wants to touch the idea and yes, it doesn’t help matters that nuclear is insanely expensive.
But this contract isn't incomprehensible, any more than a mortgage contract is - it's just a specialized topic. You can't invalidate every contract whose meaning isn't obvious to a layman; that's why expert advisors are happy to work for your money.

We should respect that this is a matter for the Chinese people at the end of the 50 year "one country, two systems" period they willingly signed up to.

Ah, as I wrote in the other comment it must have been my mistake, not checking the actual store and just going straight to the refurb store.
Yeah, we get a suspiciously high number of former politicians going into industries after their political career, usually industries that they previously were in charge of regulating (but Germany certainly isn't special in this regard).

But we do it with "style": e.g. our former chancellor (head of government) Schröder is a lobbyist for Russian gas and oil these days and is best buddies with Putin, to the extent that last time Putin was sworn in as president Schröder was the second person to shake Putin's hand, right after the head of the Russian-orhtodox church, but before the Prime Minister of Russia.

His vice chancellor at the time, Fischer, lobbied for a competing gas pipeline after leaving government... did I mention that Fischer belonged to the Green party?

Germany also managed to delay the ratification of the UN Convention against Corruption for about 10 years, citing "privacy issues" that could arise if you made politicians to disclose their income e.g., and finally passed a law that is essentially completely useless. Yes, really, the same politicians who were pushing for data retention of communication meta data of literally everybody in Germany cited privacy concerns...

But what if you want to donate large sums to a political party or candidate before an election or before a vote for some law you want? No, that would be bribery and corruption! So instead, just donate your large sums of not-bribes-I-swear AFTER you got what you want, and problem solved. Throw in a lobby/board of directors job or two for some politicians who needs an income supplement or hobby when retired, and you're done. No corruption to see here, please move along.
Oh god no. Canada has a terrible track record of managing indigenous lands. Don’t get me wrong Denmark is no colonial angel, but next to Canada it sure appears so.

Greenland has slowly been increasing their independence over the years and soon enough they will become independent. Being annexed into Canada would be a huge step backwards. If anything Greenland—once independent—should acquire the Inuit lands of Canada.
100 m2 is only a square about 33 feet on a side. Big if you live in a high rise in a city but you don't need to be unthinkably wealthy in any area that has woods. The plot of land that my house sits on is 800 m2 and I am most certainly not wealthy, let alone unthinkably so.

It's not a coincidence that Borders, Waldenbooks, Books-A-Million and Barnes & Noble all got, essentially, decimated in the same era that saw the rise of Amazon and its Kindle.
