Storage isn't the problem. The problem is that the governments 'own' all the nuclear material and anybody operating a nuclear plant is utterly dependent on government actors to do something with the 'waste'. It is illegal if the plant operators went about fixing the problem on their own.

And since the government refuses to solve the problem or even really look deeply into solutions then it's not getting solved and it isn't ever going to get solved.

Because of this the solutions to recycle spent fuel is still in it's infancy. Nobody is allowed to do anything, the government isn't really interested in allowing nuclear power to be competitive, so it's just not happening. No money, no motivation.

People in the industry are not going to invest millions in developing these breeder reactors and other ways to recycle fuel if they will never be allowed to use them.

Theoretically you could recycle the fuel to the point to where most of it is spent and isn't much of a danger. Recycle the fuel 60 or a 100 times. Then mix it with clay and cook into into a ceramic so that they are safe to handle, transport, and store. Massively reduce the danger and radiation levels.

Despite all the talk and rhetoric about CO2 emmissions you see coming from the state the petroleum industry is still king. People inside and outside of government are making a lot of money and they have no interest in seeing that go away.

The dirty secret with things like solar and wind is that in order for them to work reliably they need to have large number of natural gas generators. Because of this and other issues they really pose little threat to total fossil fuel consumption.
> it's hard to see what critical functionality Windows provides, that you can't get with Mac OS or Linux

With MacOS, your choice of hardware is very limited, and you have to pay way over the odds for it. You also can't run a lot of games on it.

With Linux, the desktop experience is, IMO, not as good as on Windows, and neither is driver support. Things have improved a lot here, but the UX is just not as polished as Windows. I do love Linux though - for servers, I wouldn't use anything else.

I really like Windows 10 Pro/Enterprise (apart from dick moves like this, of course). I can build incredibly powerful desktop or laptop machines, in terms of RAM, CPU and GPU - and everything is more or less guaranteed to "just work", and be stable too. You get excellent multi-monitor and high-DPI support, good accessability features, Hyper-V for running VMs, Sandbox coming soon, WSL for a Linux-like experience - and WSL2 will soon make it even better. And of course your gaming options are much better too.
We're talking about the majority of frameworks that are being used, not about some newer versions 0.1% use. In the end arguing won't get neither of us anywhere, I get my livelihood from testing vulnerable software and you can keep writing software in PHP.
Does he have a verifiable trajectory as an angel investor? Is he going to pay you in cash now?

1) Get your lawyer review the paperwork. Not his lawyer, your lawyer.

2) Is he going to pay you in cash now? Not equity, not a % of future earnings, not some money in 6 months. Green cash now. (Euros are fine too.)

Assume that this is all the money you will get. Are you happy with this amount? You may negotiate something else, but assume that you will not see the money.

3) Are there any strings? Do you have to keep working on this project? If you "quit", does he get all the money back?

4) Is there a non compete clause?

Let's be as negative as possible and suppose this is an scam and he's idea is to "invest" money paying himself as the CEO, some money to one of his friends as the CFO and more money to other of his friends as CTO, some peanuts for a freelance developer and some worthless equity for you that must do all the real work. Get a lawyer to be sure you are not getting screwed and get the money upfront for the same reason.
In teams that I’ve lead and the work I do, I’ve tried to really make sure that 1 person is not solely responsible for anything. We are a team, at least 2 people are involved between dev/review/testing/deployment, and we own success & failure together.

You want constructive criticism in a safe space, which is before the accident. So work with your fellow devs before you release code to minimize prod mistakes. If you’re not in a workplace where that’s possible then more mistakes will happen, and that’s okay too. If you’re getting blamed for more mistakes happening in an environment that has been set up for more mistakes to happen? Idk, get out or ignore it because collective insanity has taken over.

Personally, I switched from Perl to PHP around 2002 (I could be wrong with the year) as I wanted to move from flat file dbs to MySQL. I wouldn't say that it beat Perl, it was just made web development more accessible. I still wrote in Perl after that, but for server side scripting (processing, cleanup etc).
> What limitations does it have, other than not having enough qubits ..

Would appreciate informed commentary on the scaling characteristic of the current approaches.

It seems reasonable to question whether that the scaling challenge itself will prove to be as formidable as solving certain problems. Is it?
>There are different felony murder rules in different jurisdictions, so you'll have to be specific about the rule you're taking issue with.

I'm taking issue with the "equally guilty" the grandparent mentioned - so whatever jurisdiction does that.

I didn't start complaining about some specific jurisdiction, but about the general idea (as mentioned in the grandparent comment) that there are laws that deem people in such cases "equally guilty".

In fact, even the "tamer" California example you gave is already what I characterized as an absurdity (as all 3 kids in my example would be "participants in the actual killing", even though only one did the actual killing - and the others might never had done it or had time to prevent it, they just wanted to commit the initial act (e.g. the joyride).

The Illinois example takes it to even further levels of absurdity, if "is attributable to all the participants of the crime" (so e.g. even someone who gave them the details of the car to steal for the joyride, but wasn't even present in the murder. "on the theory that the criminals could have foreseen that their crime would ultimately require them to kill someone" -- is some "butterfly effect" level legal conception for such cases...
Not a chance - the Delta-v required to get to orbital velocity absolutely dwarfs that needed for suborbital hops, and your scheme also adds delays and tons of complexity.

In the U.S., there are laws that determine how many such spaces must be designated in parking lots, based on the size of the parking lot and/or venue.

I have a friend who is physically handicapped and very much needs to park in these spaces. The only problem he has ever told me about is finding a spot to park at work. Apparently it's somewhat common where he lives for middle-aged women (his description) to game the system and obtain handicapped placards. He says he knows they are not really handicapped because he sees them walking briskly through long corridors at work without distress. Sometimes too young people will borrow an older relative's placard to park in those spaces.

Incidentally, he would never be able to afford a Tesla. He buys three- to five-year-old Hondas and drives them till they can't be fixed.
A 4 year degree really helps when trying to get an employment visa in a developed country though. e.g. Japan has a 4 year degree or 10 years equivalent work experience requirement.

There was a thread last year where lots of people commented about being rejected for a visa in Europe because they didn't have a degree, despite having multiple years of experience.

>But you can see in your example if one of the teenagers holds the man down and another one stabs him that maybe they both killed him, even if only one of them used the knife?

Of course, that would be understandable. And I don't think that would need the "joint enterprise" construct to be tried as both being murderers in most legal systems.

The unjust concern is for the people who weren't such active participants in the act of murder (or called for it), but just on the "initial" crime.

Really, who gives a damn? Unless we are launching orbital flights at the rate we launch commercial airliners, emissions from rockets are a pisshole in the snow.

If we do ramp up to that kind of tempo, economics will spur on efficiency advances. Nipping progress in the bud now because it might be a problem some undefined period of time down the line is cowardly and depressing.

And people say security through obscurity doesn't work! As you can see, it's a very effective time waster that can be layered on top of existing security.
Yeah, but try to get a Windows XP version running nowdays. You have to reinstall every 30 days or so, because of the activation shut-out. Windows 7 improved on this by ways of nagging instead of shut-out, so I thought we were on a good path here. And when those activation servers go down... what then?

Linux? I'd just treasure that one (non-licensed) ISO I used, and that's it. Once I got a working setup, it could probably run for a century. EDIT: ...or at least until 2038 ;)

EDIT2: It's also not really an embedded system, it's a control PC. Embedded PCs are those in ATMs, BK's product screens, running car washes, what we have are full-fledged PCs that just happen to be operating test-rigs. These of course have fail-safe shutdowns (run by actual embedded hardware) if that PC hangs or faults, but they're not actually intended to be embedded.
How is it unreasonable if the things are already having collisions? This looks like a half-baked feature not even close to ready to be pushed out. Tesla is becoming a meme at this point and it has to be coming from the erratic man at the top. An engineer worth anything wouldn’t launch something like this.

Sorry if I’m fired up about this but he just reminds me of a bad boss I had that only cared about hype and how things looked and expected the laws of mathematics and physics to bow to his delusions.

Rooftop solar retrofitted onto existing rooftops, is entirely different from grid scale solar or even solar installed as part of building the roof in the first place. Those would be even lower.

The stats are from 2012 and wind and solar have improved markedly since then, generating more per installed item.

I didn't notice this link includes wind, the others I see shared usually only have rooftop solar. I know the figures will be very out of date though.

Trying to find the source of these wind figures is interesting. The same author links in a later column to what I guess must be the source though he misquotes their global figures as UK only figures. It appears to include suicides by people who live near wind turbines. The totality of 17 deaths globally in 2012 appear to be 17 bus passengers who died in march 2012 in Brazil, but I can't find any trace of a news story to explain what actually happened to them. Basically, it appears to be made up nonsense and even then it only has 3 deaths worldwide last year for wind.

This gets amplified further in the retelling, the author of your link however quotes 14 deaths in England alone in one year. Which simply didn't happen. And even then it compare favourably with other sources.

A few minor things missing in OP (mostly CJK related)

- Code point is sometimes not enough to determine the glyph. For example, U+5199 must look different in Simplified Chinese and Japanese. Typically this is handled by using different fonts, but more formally it should be marked with different lang attributes (in case of HTML).

- Top-to-bottom writing mode is still pretty much in use in Japanese. HTML support is poor, but it's common in PDF. Caveat: Latin alphabets are rotated by 90 degree (as explained in OP), but for punctuations, simply rotating the glyph isn't enough because the center line is going to be slightly off. You need special glyphs for rotated punctuation.

- Unlike Latin scripts, most Chinese and Japanese characters are free to break line at any point, but there are exceptions: contracted letters (e.g. ちょっ) cannot be split. So you'll end up with treating each letter as a separate word. (Contracted letters are treated as one word.)

Ahh, hi Bryan - I missed that you were in OMSCS. I think I took HPCA with you in Spring. So you should know what I'm talking about after that first exam where a good chunk of the class dropped!

I'm currently in GA and it is tough, probably my toughest class so far - 10 to 20 hours a week is about what I'm doing. I think I would need at least 20 hours/week to pull off an A, but I don't have the time unfortunately. My undergrad, which is a top tier state school, was also on the whole a lot easier. OMSCS is a tough degree - completing it is a big achievement.
>And prior to 1920, you could buy guns at the store with cash in the UK. Gun control didn’t exist in France until 1938. Yet the homicide rate of the UK was lower than it is today

According to the graph it wasn't. It was 0.8 and higher between 1900 and 1960, 0.7 in 1962, had a rise in the 70s and 80s, and is historically smaller than 1900-1960 today at 0.5 (since 2012 or so) while still not having the death penalty.

In cognitive science we talk about having cognitive models of things. So I’m sitting in a hotel room, and I understand that there’s a closet, there’s a bed, there’s the television that’s mounted in an unusual way. I know that there are all these things here, and I don’t just identify them. I also understand how they relate to one another. I have these ideas about how the outside world works. They’re not perfect. They’re fallible, but they’re pretty good. And I make a lot of inferences around them to guide my everyday actions.

The opposite extreme is something like the Atari game system that DeepMind made, where it memorized what it needed to do as it saw pixels in particular places on the screen. If you get enough data, it can look like you’ve got understanding, but it’s actually a very shallow understanding. The proof is if you shift things by three pixels, it plays much more poorly. It breaks with the change. That’s the opposite of deep understanding.

Of course. There are an infinte way to make interpretations of perceptions and a finite subset of possible valid ones.

It's among those possible, that the AI will be a concrete implementation of an ideology.

To select which one is always done by humans.
As one of my friends said about their teaching qualification, “P.E. teachers get the same PGCE as everybody else.” There are plenty of other degrees that don’t teach anything valuable and exist purely to provide ammunition in the argument “I should be paid more.” The average MBA student is not held in especially great esteem by their professors either.

Doing research is by all accounts difficult and draining to a ridiculous degree but if you did well in undergraduate coursework graduate coursework is more of the same.

> In 2015, a federal appeals court in Atlanta found that those protections do not reach the users of a free Android app, even when the app assigns each user a unique identification number and shares user behavior with a third-party data analytics company.

So the TV company would probably argue that it's not a violation if they don't know your real identity. Even though they share the data with an analytics company that does.

But the only way to really answer the question is to litigate.
