Nice solution for users, one that will immediately be denied by all providers.

Why take your share of $15 /month if you can easily coerce the vast majority of consumers to pay the full $15 for your service by releasing the next season of <insert popular show here>.

All it took for the masses to immediately flood Disney+ was owning Star Wars and Marvel.

I subscribed to HBO because of Game of Thrones back in the day, I have Prime anyways and share Netflix with 3 other people.

I want what you described but nobody is going to let this happen if consumers who are too tech-illiterate to pirate will pay up anyways.

False dichotomy. Iran can solve their energy needs with a new type of reactor that cannot be used to produce weapons (like the Thorium based reactors being developed). On the top of that, you cannot solve a country’s energy need purely with solar. Finally why picking on Iran? As far as history goes there is only one nation that deployed nuclear weapons in a war situation. This same nation wanted to deploy nuclear weapons few more times, the only reason why they did not is public outrage. You can check these since the records were declassified.
In fact of the interesting challenges of the Demoscene was trying to find out how competing groups achieved some demos, without having access to the said information, while in process outperforming their demos at parties.

The demoscene has its roots in software cracking, where reverse-engineering is the norm and you're not expected to be given source or told but to find out yourself, so that's not too surprising. Of course they don't care about licenses, because from that perspective they are merely arbitrary restrictions to be broken at will.
I Built Good First Issue Bot with OpenFaaS Cloud
FWIIW J is moving in this direction as well; the last release version of it (807) needed a special build for older intel hardware (they subsequently made separate binaries for older hardware). AVX has been around since 2011/2012, so it doesn't seem like that big a deal.

Admittedly I myself have older hardware kicking around I see no real reason to upgrade, but AVX is such a big win on array processing you might as well make it a dependency for the kinds of use cases Shakti or J get used for in business.

US (and British, but they apparently use US tech so it's the same) submarines run on weapons grade uranium. Other nations use less enriched.

France runs on 7%, Russia apparently 30-40% enriched.

But yes, there are certainly other reasons too why submarine reactors wouldn't be a sensible choice for civilian use.

Which types of contracts between people would we have to ban to achieve this version of socialism? If someone was allowed to form a company by himself, and sell his work to another company, or to forgo his vote in exchange for a fixed pay, we'd be back to the current state.
While I don’t know all the circumstances of the case, I do know police in other countries manage to capture people like this without resorting to using IEDs.

Police in the states already get away with all kinds of corruption, abuse of power, violence/killings, so I think we should do as much as possible to avoid normalizing these kinds of tactics. The only comparable case that comes to mind is when police bombed an apartment block of radicals in Philadelphia:

Watch the second talk, it is all about making CUDA memory model work like ISO C++ memory model, a 10 year long project.

> Assuming review builds are unsatisfactory, Publisher will communicate concerns with Developers to ensure any issues are resolved within next build. Unsatisfactory is defined as the build having missed the majority (majority defined as more than 80%) of promised milestone features.

> If agreement is terminated due to missing milestones or due to a decision by Developer to cease development of game indefinitely, Developer must repay all amounts paid by the Publisher

Is this normal? I'm not sure if this is a healthy relationship, seems like the publisher takes no risk at all for the development of the game like this, they just take the risk of the game not selling when it releases. And they could affect that as well, by pushing for more aggressive milestones at the end of development if they think the game wont sell enough until the developer either fails to deliver or it is good enough. Seems like these type of contracts would result in a lot of overtime crunching.

Big civilian reactors refuel every 12-18 months, roughly. No reason why smaller reactors couldn't do the same.

Very long refueling cycles make sense for stuff like remote areas etc., but for "normal" stuff where the thing is connected to a grid with a lot of other generators there's not that much value in it.

Is it possible to import/convert KiCAD libraries?
Library coverage of the gazillion of available components is something that takes a lot of work and time. Even KiCAD with its head start, and higher user count that comes with it, is still lacking a lot of components.
So whatever one thinks of KiCAD's libraries or library management… it would still make a huge difference for the user to have an import function or conversion tools so as to not have to start pretty much from scratch as long as the library coverage is lacking.
Perhaps that's what helps the reef to recover - it attracts fish that die and feed the local ecosystem that way until it can grow again.

The only downside is that to the best of my knowledge, those installations tend to be designed without storage in mind, running the generator at whatever time is convenient thanks to flat feed-in rates. Making them dispatchible would be by far the single lowest-hanging fruit in the whole field of grid storage.

Unlike many countries includingany European countries the US does not require logs to be kept.

Also legally national security letters can not require monitoring of the contents of communications but only compel the recipient to produce existing records regarding the communications. For a VPN service that did retain logs a NSL could require them to be turned over; however, for one which doesn't there would be nothing to turn over and a NSL can't compel the collection of such information when it doesn't exist. A NSL which tried to exceed these restrictions can be fought in court.

It might not be a zero sum game for them, but it definetely is a zero-sum game for me. When I want to watch something, I just want to click it and watch it. This is the API that my torrent tracker gives me for free (Airplay to Apple TV works great for this).

I'm willing to pay for a service that I use a lot and gives me an API that's at least as good as this. But it doesn't make any sense for me to pay for 5 services that combined give me a much worse API. Having to use 5 crappy apps typing in 5 crappy search boxes until I find what I want to watch is quite frustrating.

We started 2019 with Amazon Prime and Netflix, but when Netflix dropped support for streaming from iOS to Apple TV using Airplay, we dropped it (having to use the Netflix Apple TV App was worse than using torrents). Last month, we noticed that most of our torrent streaming is HBO content, and we subscribed to HBO instead. We've been torrenting The Mandalorian from Disney+ recently, but right now that's not remotely close to enough to make us actually want to subscribe to Disney+.

Who ever thinks that requiring people to subscribe to more services is going to actually make them do that, when there is a hassle free, simple, reliable, and cost-free alternative, is delusional.
> this is evidence we can have a program to make specialized small modular reactors fairly economically.

It is? I would imagine that the advantages of nuclear power for submarines are so great that militaries would gladly pay 100 times more than would be acceptable for civilian power without blinking.

(I do think SMR's are promising for civilian applications, I just don't think that nuclear submarines are a good argument for the potential economic benefits.)

Technical Writing vs. General Writing
With the fractional quantum hall effect, it should be clear at the latest, that neither the common electron nor the BCS superconductivity model can be true.

I follow Stoyan Sargs "Basic Structures of Matter - Supergravitation Unified Theory" model, which has a very different understand of SC and solves most problems in physics.

Due the fact that the electron is also quite different, the FQHE becomes easily explained.
The Electron is a open, complexly formed, 3 body object with internal oscillations. In a superconductor environment, the overall structure disintegrates and build a train of electron shells and positrons. Same happens under certain effects that "create positrons". According to BSM, you can't create positrons, only shoot them out of their electron shell.

Superconductivity is only a state of the vacuum in which the energy of the CL node is below a certain energy threshold, that sits between the parma and diamagnetic domains. Chapter 2, 3, 4 and 6 explain this in great detail. They are surely 200 pages together, so explaining the details enough for this to make sense is unfortunately outside the scope what a comment field can provide :)

If you wonder, the reaction of electron + positron creates a compound particle of electron + positron mass but neutral charge as well as photons. It's relative stable and quite hard to detect.
Your arguments are completely superfluous and I’m getting tired of repeating the same argument. Any impact of ICs would be minimal considering the massive shortfall in other areas of the Soviet Economy. If you want to speculate wildly on shaky ground, go ahead. But don’t think for a moment that you have some unique insight into how these things work: you clearly don’t, and are just trying to hold on to a ridiculous idea that you think you came up with.

A lot of people complain how apple app store removes apps that Apple doesn't like. Or how Firefox no longer allows users to provide add-ons that are not through the Firefox store. That and other walled gardens make the the new tech world much less free and much more dependent on tech giants. I personally would prefer WordPress to allow whoever wants to make an app and give the users the responsibility to choose what to add and what not
It's not. Nuclear fission reactors are built by large corporations like General Electric and Hitachi. If these companies wanted to they have the expertise to build a nuclear bomb but why would they unless their governments asked them to?
How many hundreds of hours of entertainment for $167? Granted it has almost no marginal cost for the seller, but as you said, you can buy HBO for a fraction of $167 and still watch it.

People just like to complain. It has never been cheaper or easier to instantly consume media, yet there is no satisfaction (because they’re comparing it to stealing the media, which is illogical of course).

Of course, there are legitimate issues in countries that have BS licensing restrictions forcing people to use a middle man such as cable or satellite TV providers. Also, copyright terms are far too long in the US, so there are valid reasons to pirate. But price/availability in US usually aren’t it, in my opinion.
Your imaginary friend's mother's maiden name.
I'm located in Europe. I wrote about this here in the wider context of accounting: https://bjoernkw.com/2016/04/03/accounting-in-2016/

Not much has changed since then. I still can't have my accounting software automatically import bank statements from my business account. I need to manually log in to the online banking app, download a CSV export file, convert that to an MT940 file (using https://github.com/msc01/soacsv2mt940 ) and finally import that into my accounting software.

So, my main issue is with APIs and data availability - or rather lack thereof.

> Speaking of cultural, the jargon of the language is didactic and annoying. All over the documentation references to monadic or niladic or diadic functions. Also calling things verbs or adverbs or nouns is annoying and unhelpful.

There'll still be a lot of older stuff scattered around the web with the old terms, but an effort is being made

Exactly, my cable provider here in Europe has an option of absolutely custom bundle you can pick whatever you want, but each channel then has its true cost. Popular channels can be extra 2-3 EUR/mo and others 0.50 EUR/mo it will be more expensive to pick 5-6 popular channels than take couple of 2.99 bundles with fodder channels you will never watch.

https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/cl...

I'm very far from claiming that Yocto is easy to understand. But you get much more than you pay for. What alternatives do you suggest with a similar functionality?

Do you think the Linux kernel documentation is better? The systemd source code easy to grasp? Still, they are widely used. I tend to say the price you pay for those is that you need to employ an expert and the expert needs to spend quite some time on it.

If you buy a product you are entitled to request something from your vendor. Good luck if you are a small company. I even tried when working for a 50,000 people corporation in the past and we got very little after many years of paying huge fees.

I was referring to the original sellout of USSR institutions during the '90s: as the world pushed the Soviets to renounce public ownership, they sold off massive assets at fire-sale prices to well-connected profiteers.

Here, .org had certain restrictions that made its governance somewhat "public". Those restrictions were removed and the asset was hurriedly sold, at a debatable price, to well-connected profiteers. Looks very similar to me.
Wind and solar charge batteries/pumped hydro at vastly lower prices. If you take 2c/kWh solar add 50% oversupply to cover seasonal issues you’re at 3c/kWh.

Thus it’s really storage that Nuclear needs to compete with not generation. Further, as nuclear takes years to build it’s competing with future battery prices 5-55 years from now. Using conservative total system costs of say 200$ per kWh of storage every day for 10 years (200/10/365) ~= 5.5c/kWh. So, Nuclear needs to compete with load following at (3+5.5) = 8.5c/kWh for part of the day or mass generation at 3c/kWh. Assuming it’s ~50/50 of each your 24/7 Nuclear is facing 6c/kWh average electricity prices.

Also, EROI can’t actually get low when you’re talking electricity at those prices.

PS: My comparison to turbines was simply a minimal calculation of capital costs. It’s an argument that any design will have higher capital costs and thus you can safely use that as your theoretical perfect design’s capital cost. Then add other costs on top of that to try and find Nuclear’s minimum theoretical cost.
I run a pc recommender that is basically made for you. Parts that fit together with some optimizing algorithm selecting an optimal configuration for your price point. I changed this configuration a bit manually given your statements: https://www.pc-kombo.com/share/mX6w2675

This will fit together and is stronger than with a GTX 1050 Ti. If you really want a gpu powered only by the motherboard step down to a GTX 1050, or look at the (rather overpriced) GTX 1650 (though it depends on the model there). Mail is in the profile if you have questions.

That post has a lot of analysis. I don't doubt there are mistakes or exaggerations in the book; however, I still think there is value in prioritizing a good night's sleep. Of all the research he presents, I noticed that his anecdote about the pianist becoming more proficient at a pattern he was struggling with after sleeping to ring true; I have found this true in my personal experience, as well.

I personally don't have a lot of knowledge in the field (the author has an entire professional career of researching) so I take at lot of the advice, at least what seems logical and reasonable to me, at face value. I'll read the link you posted and consider the points as well, though - thanks for that.

That's a bit silly, tbh. Dropping you straight into BASIC may be appropriate for an 8-bit computer with a few hundred KiB at most of combined RAM and ROM, but the Raspberry Pi is nothing like that. A *nix system is really the closest analogy, since the development tools for that are only an apt-get away! You even get some BASIC implementations, even though it's not very clear how much those help.

I'd actually like to see a roughly BASIC-like language that's simply a reasonably light syntax-wrapper over, say, Rust. It might make it easy for novices to get into hacking and software dev with a language that doesn't abstract too much away from the actual system - and then transition to a "real" language like Rust later.
I ran the numbers on nuclear waste generation awhile back and 7-billion people's worth of power needs (assuming western lifestyle) came out to like 1.x times the capacity of the worlds largest container ship worth of waste. That's nothing compared to the waste generated by literally every other method of power generation (except maybe hydroelectric but that has its own environmental trade-offs). We could just dump that in a hole somewhere geologically boring and concrete over it but nobody wants to own the hole.
