New nuclear designs are really safe objectively but will probably never gain traction because of public opinion ruined by the old nuclear designs of the 60's/70's.

TerraPower has some good designs.
You don't need a complete ban, just sensible financial limits. In the UK, campaign spending by political parties must not exceed £30,000 ($38,000) per candidate. That's enough money to inform potential voters of your policies, but little enough to reduce the influence of money in politics to a minimum. The EU referendum was highly controversial because some campaign groups may have spent over £15m ($19m) nationally, which I understand is chump change in the US.

My theory is that the web has overall matured. A lot of what Flash did is now possible and even better/faster/easier, but the reason for those aren't there. In many ways Flash websites featured novel navigation and interaction experiences, the likes of people never had seen before, but that's a gimmick that gets old fast. No insurance company wants or needs an animated 3d intro in their website; they want and need good SEO, and information that's easy to reach. If they want to impress with something visual, they'll go to YouTube or Instagram.

Surely the author is aware of the inaccuracies in a direct comparison. The author is implicitly pointing out that a multi-billion dollar corporation is putting out a product that is not polished in several ways, while people who love the product do mental gymnastics to defend against any flaw rather than admitting that such flaws exist.

Libreoffice for the former. Honestly, I deal with that stuff so rarely nowadays that I could probably get away with like, going to the library for it even if LO didn't exist.

Looking at the video [0] of someone "summoning" their Model3 from across the street, and into oncoming traffic, forcing other drivers to slam on the brakes to avoid impact I can't help but wonder if any of the drivers doing this are charged in any way for recklessness. Just because the accident was avoided at the last minute doesn't make it ok. The driver still showed a lot of disregard for the safety of others.

Or you could deploy base load nuclear and use solar PV as peakers, with some load optimisation for big daytime spenders depending on insolation.

Solar PV plus solar thermal, while seductive, competes for space and deployment.
Are you quibbling about what "huge drop" means?

Here's a citation - https://www.pnas.org/content/114/35/9326 "Temperature increase reduces global yields of major crops in four independent estimates".

> Without CO2 fertilization, effective adaptation, and genetic improvement, each degree-Celsius increase in global mean temperature would, on average, reduce global yields of wheat by 6.0%, rice by 3.2%, maize by 7.4%, and soybean by 3.1%.

When you write "This has been predicted numerous times", do you mean, for example, the predicted famines of the mid-1900s, saved by the Green Revolution? Borlaug's Nobel Prize speech cautious us technical success in raising food production is only a temporary victory - we must also limit our population.

When you write "Crop production depends on the weather far more than the climate" ... how is that even a valid argument? Where are the Canadian orange groves? How's the Brazilian maple syrup industry? They don't exist, because the climate is wrong for those crops in those areas.

You write "They recover" .. Citation needed. Simple counter-example - the Icelandic forests from the Norse era have not recovered.

Or, 10,000 years ago the Sahara was green. Now it's a desert. Why hasn't that ecosystem recovered?

Sounds like you are mixing release & QA, makes a lot of sense in a small shop.

In a larger team you’d have a small agent on each of your N (likely >> 3) machines, CI pushes to the agent for build/release/automated tests.

Then if those pass on a given system, it fires off a message to start manual QA validation for performance and other “intangibles”.

Yes this most definitely happens with the euro Amazons. In fact, it's the .com Amazon that seems to be running a newer version / experiment lately where sometimes the search only shows stuff that ships to my configured address.

The most annoying thing however is when the search contains an item, then the description on the item's dedicated page has text that specifically says that the item will ship to my address, but then during checkout I get an error message saying that the specific item can't be shipped after all. Feels like the description page text is determined willy-nilly and it's not until the checkout that they take into account the package size and weight.

However I sometimes do want to see what's available even without direct shipping to me, because if the item is cheap enough or rare enough, it will be worth using a reshipping service in whatever country Amazon does ship to.

> Political advertising should be banned entirely in my opinion.

How can society change for the better if you can't communicate and try to convince people of your ideas in the public space? If you see a problem and think you have a (political) solution, you should be able to advertize your solution.

There is a de-facto ban on political advertizing (or "worldview" advertizing) in Germany, and it is really frustrating. The army can run ads looking for recruits, but you cannot run an ad for a peace campaign. There are ads for cigarettes, soft drinks, and alcohol, but most places won't let you run an ad to advocate, lets say, better healthcare.

Basically, this just helps cement the political status quo.

> That said, and again, these are individual rights. You can't condemn Rwanda for the crimes committed by their leaders: these leaders are put on trial.

Personal international law is basically a post-WWII invention,and having regularized international methods of enforcing such law started with the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court quite recently.

International law operating at the level of nations has existed longer, and while ad hoc national acts are still the dominant method of compelling compliance, has had a permanent international venue for resolving cases much longer than international law addressing individual responsibility. So, yes, as well as (and longer than) we’ve been able to hold individuals accountable for violations of international law, we can also hold whole nations responsible.
> I honestly don't know why it uses so much disk.

Not saying it is your issue, but if you do use Time Machine, have it enabled all the time and you are not always connected to your Time Machine backup disk then Time Machine will continue to make those backups except it does them to your local disk. Because of this you will end up with time machine snapshots and you can get rid of them using the tmutil command that was referenced in the post.
In order to do so, see for example [1].

In earlier macOS versions you could disable the local time machine snapshots, but I seem to recall that that no longer works (but I might be wrong on that)

I can't find the piece, but one article said they also paid brokers essentially the entire initial contract cost vs the traditional ~15% (might've missed that number, but it was a very small percentage compared to 100).

Very concrete example of growth over profits - am not sure what the profitability timeframe would be on that model if we even try and look at it logically.
Wind is useful, but not really as base load. There are long lulls sometimes, more than a week. You could run gas peakers but then you haven't fixed anything...

Fixing wind lulls requires continent-wide network of wind farms with corresponding grid. Computations suggest best case even 100 GW across Europe. That is nothing compared to demand.

(Un)fortunately we have nuclear as a base load option. And fusion as research program.

Well, I'm removing the battery and the pseudo-UPS logic right now. The battery looks fine, but I'm not taking any risks, since it's on top of the DL380 but under a wooden TV stand.

Thanks for the heads up! You might have prevented a fire.

I suggest we keep building normal PV and wind power until balancing the grid actually becomes a problem and then switch to more expensive technology. Gas peakers can actually be sustainable if you feed them with gas from power-to-gas plants btw. That's a convenient but expensive way for storing large amounts of power.
That looks like a large scale operation. CSP is struggling to compete in Spain with PV, but I can see it happening with companies like Acciona or some other spanish utility behemoths.
It’s mentioned in the article, that the shift was due to a trip to a different timezone.

> it said that there is not enough free space available to run the installer. So I deleted a bunch of files and tried again.

This sounds like the Samsung phone I purchased new some 5+ years ago.

This brand new phone never managed to do an update in all that time.

It would always insist a new update was available but on every attempt it would fail with some vague recourse issue.

It would even ask for permission to send details of the failed attempt back to home base.

After a dozen of failed attempts, a dozen approvals for feedback requests, the purchase of addition SIM memory cards to give it more memory in the hope the update would work, the online thing that did work was to just take the phone offline (data offline) and ignore the update request.

Now this was never a top end phone (less than $300 some 5+ years ago) but what was amazing is how bad this new phone from day one would continually insist an update was required, with each an every update failing to install.
What is the alternative? Even Abramov suggested to use it.
The highest estimate for battery production I can find is 17.5 tonnes of CO2 for a 100kWh battery. Most EVs have smaller batteries than that.

One liter of gas will produce about 9.3 kg of CO2 (including production and transport), so with an average fuel economy of 10.58 km/kg, you'd need to drive 20,000 km before the 100 kWh EV makes up for its battery. That's a little less than the average American drives in a year.

It can be difficult bordering on impossible to find a trustworthy independent mechanic. Even an honest one is not necessarily going to be able to be as thorough and have the attention to detail that the owner might. And even though they are faster, they also have to spend less time than might be optimal.

I have a 30 year old car and there are one or two specialists in my city that people recommend. One of them told me I needed an engine rebuild due to an oil leak, when it was actually a specific seal that was relatively minor to replace, and the other correctly diagnosed the problem, and apparently fixed it for a reasonable price, but insisted the oil I was using was too thin, and when I deferred to their expertise, they put an even thinner oil in (I found out later) and lied about it...maybe because they thought I would come back with more leaks...so the only local mechanic I currently trust is a dealer that will work on classic cars and they charge a ridiculous amount.

So, comparing cost and expertise and tools is kind of missing the point. I would always take a new or newish car to a dealer. I have no idea how to find a decent independent mechanic, and I've tried quite a few over the years. If it takes me several times as long to do something, it doesn't really matter if that's my only practical way to get it done right.

I had a thought recently: What if we voted for policies instead of people? A bunch of policies are put forward, we vote on those, then we choose people to implement them/oversee their implementation. I'm sure this falls down under any level of analysis, but as someone who has avoided politics all his life, it seems soooooo ridiculously silly to hold this popularity contest / PR event we call elections.
Should we have continued with CFC emissions then? And not put restrictions on sulfur dioxide emissions?

The most prominent company doing this model now is Automattic. Most other SaaS companies run tons of open source... EXCEPT for the core product.

1. per kWH. Nuclear is very, very safe. Global avg 90 deaths per trillion kwh, vs coal 100,000 deaths per trillion kwh. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesconca/2012/06/10/energys-d... If you really want to be surprised, nuclear is even safer than solar https://www.iaea.org/sites/default/files/publications/magazi... (Note that residential rooftop solar is crazy risky as well as inefficient - all those installers up on random roofs...)

2. Coal requires lots more fuel so lots more digging up and transportation, spent fuel is dissipated via atmosphere, as well as solid ash.

3. Concentrated harm vs dispersed harm. still coal. Note that the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone is great for wildlife - it is basically an environmental preserve, since humans (the largest impact on wildlife & environment) are largely excluded.

4. Focus on "nuclear vs CO2". If you're serious about global warming, nuclear is the only viable technology.

5. Storage and cleanups - there's a lot more for coal than you think. Coal byproducts are one of the largest industrial waste streams. https://www.epa.gov/coalash/frequent-questions-about-2015-co...

Nuclear vs coal is like airplane crashes vs car crashes. Airplane accidents make the news because they are unusual and affect many people in a single incident, even though car crashes kill (and injure) far more people every year (per mile traveled).

The fact that you know the names Chernobyl, Fukushima, and Three Mile Island (probably?) should help you realize how SAFE nuclear is - the exceptions become scare stories for decades.
