Yes, including cost for balancing the grid :

- electrical storage (increasingly cheap, and providing ancillary services to the grid), but also thermal and mechanical storage

- demand-response (Huge one ! especially if you do investment at the same time you invest in energy efficiency

- a diversified electricity mix, with "oversupply" of cheap renewable energy

Nuclear can help, but is super expensive, super slow to set up, and have more security concerns

Projecting an image of a person or a stop sign was a funny troll. But then it got deadly serious when they also demonstrated projecting LANES and tricking the car into veering into oncoming traffic.
We do not have to limit ourselves to just one source. Blocking nuclear in favor of some sort of pie in the sky global power network and huge renewable infrastructure is common for some reason.

We can use any and all power sources that are clean.
It needs government backed strike prices, which is definitely possible and somewhat unavoidable for countries with an energy market (like the UK).
This is so debunked, I don’t know why the industry keeps repeating this falsehood. Google “Hornsdale” for just one example.

Most folks have been reading about the psychedelics renaissance.

A humongous problem is the absolute lack of data that many psychedelic assisted therapists, guides, spiritualists have, to be able to point to their specific types of therapy as effective.

You come across folks that make humongous claims about the specific modalities they use, but don't track the progress of their patients and therefore don't have the data to prove it. We're working with volunteers at Tabularasa.ventures to develop some simple applications to both screen clients and also allow for practitioners or individuals to record progress (reductions in depression, PTSD, etc.) over time whether treating with microdosing, self administered, or more standard psychedelic assisted therapy (PAT) methods.

That makes sense, although I don't know enough to refute it. However, renewables covering 80% sounds very high to me without some large-scale energy storage solutions.
Not to speak of the costs of waste disposal.

You're not wrong here, but solar isn't the whole answer either. While storage is also important, there will always be a need for reliable "baseline" power located closer to usage centers in order to reduce strain on the national grid.

Right now, that is produced by coal or gas. Nuclear is the only realistic "green" option to replace them. Newer small-scale sealed reactor designs make nuclear energy both safer and cheaper than it ever has been. Solar / wind / hydro will certainly displace a lot of coal and gas, but they're not the whole answer in every location.
I can confirm, I live in a very humid city but I really like to sleep in a cold bedroom. However when indoor temperature dropped to below 17°C I had to heat it up back to 18-19°C because mold started growing near the windows. Unfortunately the house is very badly isolated so the temperature near the windows is always way lower than in the rest of the room.

It seems that the problems and delays with the EPR design, at least in the case of Olkiluoto and Flamanville, have more to do with building the surrounding containment structure than the reactor itself.
I feel like a lot of these videos are fake.
As other comments in this thread have mentioned, since 2004 the renewable energy landscape has changed a lot and we're at a point were the technology and cost of solar is there, we just need to ramp up production. While nuclear might be carbon neutral it comes with a whole load of problems without clear solutions. Burying nuclear waste in a hole is pretty shortsighted both in terms of saftey and cost, the raw materials are not renewable and an accident can be devestating.

As someone who does not do heavy NetOps, can you speak more about what's wrong with IPsec?
I'm with you. But, we should see to evolve nuclear reactors to a point that they can be abandoned at any point of time without any catastrophy at all. If we have to sacrifice efficiency to do so, let's solve the issues we agree on and then push on the efficiency front towards or even beyond the previous outputs.
No, they were teaming up and colluding with authoritarian dictators in accordance with the strong advice of their national security directors. I don't think politicians are ever anti-corruption, not even Simón Bolívar. Anti-corruption people can be prophets, or hackers, or writers, or just regular people, but politicians have to prioritize power over honesty to some extent in order to gain power.
We're discussing explicit direct, non-monetary, costs to these "cheaper products". There are no free lunches here.
I drive when and where I feel comfortable. Usually at or slightly below the speed limit. I'm mostly optimizing for making the minimum number of lane changes once I get on the motorway. Preferably that means as soon as I get on the motorway switching to whatever lane will take me directly to the exit. A lot of people do what you do. Doesn't bother me a bit. My logic is no one is really actually getting anywhere any faster anyway. They're just increasing risk for barely any benefit. Changing lanes seems to me like the most likely time to have an accident, so the people who insist that driving at the speed limit isn't fast enough and that they must change a lane to go around me and then change back again taking a small risk twice for the privilege are just impatient.

As the old saying goes "everyone who drives slower than you is an idiot, everyone who drives faster than you is crazy".

Fun fact: I also take routes that minimize the number of times I have to turn into oncoming traffic and/or judge gaps where the landscape gives poor visibility of the traffic, so long as the detour is no more than a few minutes.

Skimming through this, there are syntax errors (e.g. → instead of -> and ’ instead of ' in some function signatures), inconsistencies in code style, and a number of content errors (e.g. the content surrounding early return is still quite wrong and suggests a lack of understanding of the actual feature, expression-orientation; and the description of what &str is; and the description of Copy and copy semantics being simplified beyond what I would consider truth). Overall it’s a decent summary and most of the content seems correct, but be careful.

Our consumption isn’t about things like turning off lights in your house. In the developed countries every human consumes about 10kW. You can actually graph energy consumption per capita and a quality of life index and they will correlate basically one to one. The bulk of that energy goes to power agricultural machinery that produces the food we eat and the transportation of that food from the mid west states to the coasts. There is little you can do to reduce that consumption because geography doesn’t allow for it. Local farms aren’t much better. They often times use old pickup trucks which are way less efficient than trains to deliver food. Even if you don’t use any power at all in your life, no heat, no lights, no transportation, you still would be in the 7-9kW range as long as you eat food.
Nuclear waste is not a serious problem. It's pretty small by volume and if you're willing to build breeder reactors you can reduce it by 95% or so.

HCI & gestural computing is a very important and active area of research. BTW it's also my field of work. I was taking issue with what I (and quite a few of my colleagues) felt was a demo cobbled together using existing technologies for applause lines. There was nothing novel in it, except that it was presented as a "package".

It'd have been great if Pranav had researched a completely new modality of recognizing gestures, using Wi-Fi signals for example, or EMG - and that would have been befitting of an MIT Ph.D!

My 2 cents worth.
Yeah... styles or rather fashions are quirky. All it did was make people look ridiculous but it didn’t retard a foundational industry by decades like her anti-nuke movement.
Thanks, I'll look more into those brands.

If anyone is in a similar position, I've got a 34" ultrawide, so it's a bit heavy. I was looking at the Ergotron HX Monitor Arm as it can hold 20 to 42 lbs, but it's about $280. The best I could find on Vivo (STAND-V101H) has a maximum capacity of 26 lbs, so it might just work out.

Of course my monitor comes with what is actually a very nice stand, but it just takes up so much room.

Progressives were a pretty clearly identifiable force in US politics for much of the early 20th century. And many of those same people were fundamental in the formation of the environmental movement including the anti-nuke, pro-eugenics crowd. Later went on an anti-GMO as well.

Whenever somebody quotes population control quotes from people associated with that movement these facts should be pointed out. Specially if it is in the 'referent' ton that indicates a willingness to support the same kinds of polices.

To be clear I'm not taking about everything that one means when saying the word 'Progressive' now. As that term is pretty watered down by now.

In general when talking about broad political and social moments its hard to come up with who 'exactly' they are.
Very good. I’m noting all these suggestions down. The app only launched a few days ago. I wanted to make sure it was a valid product first before doing too much to it. I’ll gradually add more functionality and examples over time.

Once you've logged into facebook from the device, they likely created a device fingerprint for your device: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_fingerprint . This would allow them to identify you even without a cookie or ad id to correlate against.
This doesn't seem shady, the form the tweet posted explicitly said it authorized state farm to request his medical, employment, and other records on his behalf.

The only "shady" thing might be not sending the authorization form he signed with their HIPPA request to show the source of the signature, but revealing he's seeking a long term disability claim could also be a HIPPA violation itself...

Regardless, the form says he authorized state farm to do exactly what they did: request his medical records without further approval from him (otherwise he might have needed to fill out each additional requests manually, which perhaps was an option if he declined this, we don't know)
Unfortunately there are no good answers for this on mobile.
The benefit of solar is that you can install it on homes and make them self-sufficient (using battery storage at night), or at least vastly reduce the load on the grid. It does not require "new" space, as it simply takes over your roof.

"Lors de leur audition précitée, les représentants du BRGM ont indiqué que pour remplacer un réacteur nucléaire de 1 GW fonctionnant avec un facteur de charge de 75 %, il faudrait recouvrir 5200hectares de panneaux photovoltaïques, soit la moitié de la surface de Paris."

Replacing a 1GW nuclear reactor (a power plan can have 2, 3 or 4) with a capacity factor of 75% will need 5200h of solar panels, half of Paris surface.

This doesn't also solve the transport and storage issues to handle the intermittence.

After that you simply have to do the maths.
Knowing that solar panels are loosing efficiency over time and needs to be replaced after 20 years. Nuclear power plants are currently holding after 70 years.
It does seem to harken back to McCarthyism when put in that context, doesn't it?
With online fingerprinting, big companies seem to have the problem of "identity", bots and spam prevention decently solved, but at the cost of users privacy.

There are many opportunities that could really use a good mechanism to uniquely identify users, know for sure they are real people. This is pretty hard to do (or outright impossible) without the collaboration of governments. But governments will f*ck it up in a number of ways if we leave it to them. We have to think bigger than what some countries have already solved.

First, we need something like credit cards. A physical object (identity cards could work on many countries, but they tend to suffer from beyond horrible usability when it comes to their digital chips / functionality) with a password that can be changed. We would also need a place to see all the "transactions" or actions done with your identity, as we have with credit cards. India and their Aadhaar project has shown that biometric identification is not good. But it sounds very nice and sci-fi, so it sadly sticks. Nothing new yet.

But what we really would need are manageable permissions, so you can always prove that you are an actual human, but not necessarily revealing anything else and being a completely anonymous user, or choosing to reveal some data (country, real name, etc).

If something like this was global and effective, not only we would have many more opportunities through the internet, we could also come much closer to things like direct democracy. Password management and online identity management would also become much easier. Obviously there also are many problems. Starting with the access to the internet itself. And all this identification system does sound very dangerous from a privacy-minded perspective (but the alternatives will end up being much worse, and worse systems will be imposed on us). And I'm still completely ignoring the political will to do something like this.

My point is that China having the fastest growing nuclear program in the world is still not getting more energy from that source than renewables.

Nuclear appears to be simply too slow to roll out.
I completely agree with you. My argument was not against solar. It was against ‘solar only’. Of course, there are other renewables and if some country has an option to use solar + hydro then they do not need nuclear. But not everyone has that option.

What's more predictable than the day/night cycle? We can work around that. More problematic is what's known as a 'Dunkelflaute' in German: Overcast skies, fog, etc, combined with no wind, for days. Doesn't happen that often (in Germany, every 2 years or so), but it happens.

I went about seven years without ever getting more than my “annual cold”—about 12-36hrs of very light sniffles with no fever or sore throat, about once a year. I was was also trim and looked and felt awesome. It’s far and away the healthiest period of my life.

... for the whole time I took extremely long hot showers, lived on 3000+ calories of junk food per day, and probably averaged not more than 6hrs of sleep per night, with no regular schedule. What kept me super-healthy was “being a teenager”.
Could you store it that way though, or would it start a spontaneous chain reaction?
What library are you using for automatic differentiation. I am working on building code to optimize (and later build) high quality finite element meshes for structural analysis. For the initial proof of concept, I am simply doing finite differences, but would prefer to eventually add AD. I am unsure which packages are suitable (currently all numpy and scipy).
These libraries miss the point of linq. Yes it provides a nifty syntax for munging lists, but Real C# LINQ provides that munge as a abstract syntax tree which can be interpreted before executing it.

This means it can rewrite the native language query, and say, turn it into a SQL or graphql query, or a stream filter, or check against cached data or all kinds of clever things.
Thanks for sharing this! I'm addicted to ending with cold showers now, but your comment on not starting with hot water at all is very interesting. It took me a week before I realized that rather than being a chore, this was addictive! 15 minutes after a bath, I often find myself missing the buzz. Also, FYI to those reading: it helps you sleep sooner. I was under the impression that a nice, warm shower is best before bed, but a cold shower makes me drowsy like nothing else and you hit the pillow asleep.

By the way, where do you live? For me, in Hong Kong, cold showers are not really that difficult at 15 degrees celsius (59 degrees fahrenheit).
The problem is that it is becoming easier and easier to single-handedly destroy the ecosystem in a large surrounding area.
