I have no idea how common this configuration is, but it makes perfect sense. It is almost like a battery-capable system, but without the batteries installed. This configuration makes sense because batteries are expensive, bulky, and hazardous. Day-only usage is still useful.
Bitcoin Mixer Scam

> 1. Authors ignore how long it takes to bring a new nuclear plant online

As per the article:

> An argument I haven’t seen before is that no other clean energy source can scale up as quickly as nuclear—IF the reactors are standardized.

True, development costs are big, but these can be spread over multiple reactors. And once you have trained the workforce constructing one, the others can come much quicker. See historical values for France [1].
If we were to pipeline new reactors buildup everywhere, we'd be quite close to netting 0% emission in the energy sector. Granted, calculations and finding the optimal isn't that simple.

> 3. Authors ignore the waste storage problem, which is a debt future generations will be saddled with for hundreds or thousands of years.

The consequences of our fossil fuel reliance are staging _right now_ what the ecosystem will look like millions of years in the future. Even if we were to produce 1000 times the amount of nuclear waste we currently have, we wouldn't come close to that. At least, it is easier to keep the stuff in one place.
This is an emergency. Yes, nuclear is far from optimal, but is a whole lot better than the status quo.

The other arguments aren't really valid in my opinion.

2. Builds on 1. The point is that nuclear can ramp up pretty quickly, as has been shown in the past.

> 4. Authors ignore the power storage problem, which causes lots of energy to be wasted.

This isn't really a problem with nuclear. Provide the baseload. You can tune up/down the amount of power, depending on your renewable output. Exchange energy with the neighbors depending on the needs. Pumped hydro can store quite a bit of energy as well.

> 5.

I fail to understand your point. Are we using less energy? I don't think so. [2] And a lot more stuff is going to need electricity in a clean energy transition (heaters, cars, industrial ovens...). If anything, cleaner/cheaper energy is likely going to increase consumption.

> 6. Authors ignore the safety data and that safety incidents are likely under-reported.

What safety data? The points they talk about in the article and use to say that reactors seem safe? Other energy generators aren't that safe, and also likely under-report.

It is street parking that ruins winter for bikes. The snow plows can't get to the edge of the road, so the bike lane which marks the parking/plowable road area suffers.

I don't think it's a big deal because we don't really get a lot of snow in NYC. A plan to improve the 50 weeks a year without snow on the ground is better than not doing the plan because a couple weeks in February will be miserable.
The tech industry is floating all these complex technological ideas so solve traffic congestion, from apps that track traffic, to ride hailing to autonomous cars, but the reality is that traffic congestion is not a tech problem but rather a simple physics problem (and political problem).

The core issue is simply that cars physically take up too much space on the road, and move too few passengers.

This simple physics problem can be solved solved with 19th century solutions as NYC has here. Make exclusive room for buses, which are dramatically more space efficient than cars. Problem solved.
I really enjoyed this article. I remember reading about the WSU Bread Lab etc a few years ago and it was great to get an update. Here are two older articles about bread that I really liked (both feature the Bread Lab):

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/11/03/grain

https://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/01/magazine/bread-is-broken....

Here's a quote that explains what the deal is with the whole wheat bread you can buy in America:

A grain of wheat has three main components: a fibrous and nutrient-rich outer coating called the bran; the flavorful and aromatic germ, a living embryo that eventually develops into the adult plant; and a pouch of starch known as the endosperm, which makes up the bulk of the grain. Before roller mills, all three parts were mashed together when processed. As a result, flour was not the inert white powder most of us are familiar with today; it was pungent, golden and speckled, because of fragrant oils released from the living germ and bits of hardy bran. If freshly ground flour was not used within a few weeks, however, the oils turned it rancid.

Roller mills solved this problem. Their immense spinning cylinders denuded the endosperm and discarded the germ and bran, producing virtually unspoilable alabaster flour composed entirely of endosperm. It was a boon for the growing flour industry: Mills could now source wheat from all over, blend it to achieve consistency and transport it across the nation without worrying about shelf life. That newfound durability came at a huge cost, however, sacrificing much of the grain’s flavor and nutrition. In the 1940s, to compensate for these nutritional deficiencies, flour producers started fortifying white flour with iron and B vitamins, a ubiquitous practice today. The rise of roller milling and bread factories also put pressure on plant breeders to make wheat even more amenable to the new dominant technologies; whiteness, hardness and uniformity took precedence over flavor, nutrition and novelty.

Today, whole-wheat flour accounts for only 6 percent of all flour produced in the United States. And most whole-wheat products sold in supermarkets are made from roller-milled flour with the germ and bran added back in.

(1) You're linking to a site that is not exactly objective, I would assume the 'world nuclear association' to be somewhat biased in their information.

(2) The problem isn't just the 'high level' nuclear waste, it is all nuclear waste.

But let's just assume that that 34000 cubic meters is all off the problem. And let's assume that you need to store it for 1,000 years and that you're going to make 100% of your electricity baseload using nuclear. Right now, at roughly 10% that's 34000 so for 100% you'd then need 34000x10x1000 cubic meters of storage.

That's a cube 700 meters on it's side. And because of the nature of the waste you can't just stack it that close, you're going to have to space it out and you're going to have to cool it because that much nuclear material is going to output a very large amount of heat.

You're making this all look way easier than it really is.
It could, because in the timeframe the paper is about, they were geographically near, but had no real direct connection to speak of. Traveling over land along branches of the 'old salt routes' took at least two days, and that was fast. They were

You should do a double-blind experiment. Isolate the human variable first. That said, I would not be surprised if there was something in the way Italian wheat is grown/processed that is the important factor.

I have a borrowed iPhone X and just a few days ago I wanted to download videos I took with it. I connected it to my PC and I don't see it as a drive. I had to look up the Internet to learn how to transfer my own files. The solution was to switch Windows to the horrible tile thingy UI, get to the "Photos" application, and from there, there is a button to import the files. I kinda felt treated as an infant.
The thing that struck me when visiting there (Kyoto mainly) was not only the general cleanliness, but that there were semi-delicate public displays and works of art that were not defaced/demolished. Eg, some city street sculpture that if was in the US would probably not last a weekend before some kid or drunk thought it would be clever to knock it over.

Well,

Adobe claimed that Apple was stopping them from supporting Flash on the original iPhone. When Adobe did finally get Flash (barely) running on Android. It required 1GB of RAM and 1Ghz CPU. The original iPhone had a 400Mhz CPU and 128Mb of RAM.

Adobe was late shipping Flash for the Motorola Xoom. Motorola touted being able to use Flash as a feature over the iPad. Leaving it in the unfortunate situation that you couldn’t even visit the Xoom marketing page running Flash from a Xoom for the first six months.

Adobe could never get Flash working on mobile well.

EDIT: It wasn’t until the iPhone 5 introduced 5 years later in 2012 that there was an iPhone that could have met Adobe’s specs for Flash.
Almost any other corporation would sound better than Facebook. Banks would be better than Facebook too. Ideally it would be better if it were an organization that supported privacy. Perhaps Signal or something in that vein?
People are looking back with rose tinted glasses, I think. This was an era where you could build rich media with absolute canvas values and it would look great and it was easy for an artist to take that canvas and do things.

The iPhone killed flash but not just in the obvious way. These days everything needs to be reactive and run on well on mobile hardware. Even if iOS supported flash it would need to be a different beast. Different screen sizes, an explosion of aspect rations, heavier security requirements, accessibility, touch controls and more led to the downfall.

As an aside, why does nearly every Twitter link take you to a page not found thus requiring a reload? This is a terrible user experience that should be easy to fix.
There were dozens of sites dedicated to flash tutorials and getting started for amateurs. It was a highly focused _creative_ environment with low barrier to entry. It allowed and encouraged cross pollination.
Flash was a drawing program, Animation, IDE, Game Development, Web development even audio and video editing, with no clear lines between any of the functions.

It was a one stop shop for creative expression with thousands of people learning the program and excited to share their knowledge.

Nothing does what flash did, because flash did everything and everyone was using it.

Whilst you may not yet be as comfortable with ES6 as you are with ES5, the changes shouldn't be too hard to grasp.

As a developer it's important to stay up-to-date. Sometimes this isn't possible due to slow to update libs or technical restrictions, but to solely write ES5 due to preference is avoiding a small amount of learning for convenience.
I can't tell if Safeway has gotten worse or if I've just been shopping at the expensive organic place for too long.

I can go buy produce from Safeway on a Sunday, and have it be molding by Wednesday. And not even stuff that goes bad quickly (like, peaches mid summer are amazing but they're very fresh/ripe and will go bad in a few days). Apples. Potatoes. Onions. Things that, when fresh, last for months if kept in a cool dark place.

Since this is an item I get regularly - it’s $9 for a 4-pack of Kerrygold butter at the Mountain View Costco ($2.25/
8oz bar). Same 8oz butter is almost double at Safeway or Whole Foods. The local Walmart is $2.83 per bar.

I have rarely found Costco items more expensive than other local stores, at least for my regular items.

I discount Trader Joe’s since they don’t carry branded items other than wine and beer.
Costco really has an interesting business model, but the part that really hooks me is the quality/price ratio you get there. If you buy an item at Costco, you can absolutely bet it’s going to be the highest quality item in whatever category you’re shopping. You can also bet it’s significantly more inexpensive than anywhere else you can get it. I spend around $10,000 at Costco every year and every time I walk out I feel like I got a great deal.

BTW, if you’re a member and haven’t tried the Kirkland (Costco’s house brand) wines, prepare to taste an $8 bottle of wine that puts every $100 bottle you’ve ever tasted to shame.
I just ordered a carbon monoxide detector from Amazon, supposedly shipped from the manufacturer.

”It seemed such a good idea at the time. At least, to the German politicians in charge.

But in hindsight, the Asse II salt mine should never have been used in the 1960s and 1970s as a site to dump nuclear waste, said Ingo Bautz of the Federal Office for Radiation Protection.”

Because it doesn’t store highly radioactive waste, it isn’t _that_ much of a concern, but it started leaking ten years into operation. That, IMO, is a concern, as it indicates sloppiness.

What is missing from this article is that many manufacturers “force” you to buy a new phone, in order to get the latest Android version and security patches. It’s implied indirectly, where the author states that we as users keep our (expensive) phones for longer, hence being left behind on updates.
The fact is that manufacturers want us to buy new phones so as to make profits and stay in business, even though most of our “old” phones are capable of running newer versions.

>... so you made a conclusion that political change happened because of small changes? That conclusion is incorrect. The change happened because of underlying need for that change.

But that's not true. We're talking about most cases of political change. A lot of it doesn't happen because it needs to happen, a lot of political change happens because it's beneficial (profitable?) for someone for it to happen. Do you really think that companies selling juice are unhappy with "sugary drinks" being demonized? Of course they aren't, because those sugary drinks are their competition. If society cared about the health impact of sugary drinks then juices would be right there next to soda on the chopping block, because they have the same sugar in the same amounts in the juice as the soda does. Yet essentially all of the bans on sugary drinks conveniently don't affect juice at all. The only thing juice has over soda is that it might contain vitamins. That's it. In every other aspect, even minimally processed juice (just fresh pressed fruit into juice), is as bad as soda.

When somebody tells me that this whole thing is for our benefit and that we make decisions based on analysis, then I don't believe them, because the decisions that have been made clearly aren't based on fair analysis. The decisions that have been made are clearly benefiting some people over others and crusaders carry out their will. Then decades later they will complain about how they were lied to.

>Well, may be they will tax sugary products, but banning sugary products will NOT happen.

MAYBE? This is already reality in a lot of places. That ship has already sailed years ago.

Of course they're not going to straight up ban sugary drinks, because that is literally impossible. What they can do and what they actually do, is target certain types of "undesirable" goods/vices to pick winners and losers in business.

What I see as most problematic is the fact that people want to become CS majors before they become computer enthusiasts.

Long before I studied computer science concepts, I was enamored with computers. I was a power user then. When I was in elementary school I couldn't have Internet access any time I wanted (it was literally a call on the family telephone) so I spent lots of time playing around with the operating system and the installed applications. Many nights were spent exploring the nooks and crannies of Windows and Office. I learned about the cmd.exe and wrote batch scripts before I had any idea what computer science was about.

Later when I moved from Windows to Mac in the early 00's, I did the same. The same kind of curiosity led me to naturally explore the various system utilities, from Mac-specific like hdiutil or diskutil to general Unix-y.

I don't know whether this is fighting a losing battle, but I doubt anyone who's not curious enough to learn about the innards of their computers can really become successful CS majors and hackers.

Someone made a movie and called it that. It's not really a word. So yes, you proved words can be created. That however is an opposite process to the one that destroys the meaning of an existing word or expression through repetition by people who don't know how to use it. I'm against that kind of half-assery. Creation, art, those take work and discipline. And as much as creativity demands going against convention, you always first have to learn & be aware of what the conventions are. Not even doing that work, and then just claiming your way is just as legitimate as the accepted way for your own mere convenience, well it's a shortcut, and I mean in the best case you have a very slim chance of "just happening" to be a great artist, and in the worst case it's the height of ignorance and narcissism. So yeah I'm unimpressed. I would accept & respect even a deliberate act of transgression -- knowing the right way and doing it wrong on purpose -- before that kind of shoddy relativism.
