Debatable if Nuclear is even required. Nuclear is fantastic for baseload but the economics are currently terrible mostly due to uncertainty in regulation and spiraling decommissioning and cleanup costs. We need much more investment in reactor technology and there is currently zero appetite for it in the United States.

There is however tremendous investments in battery technology. It has yet to be seen whether that could get cost effective enough combined with wind and solar to completely get rid of the need for Nuclear.
And maybe we'll start to realize our 'robust' economy was based on so many frivolous activities instead of durable manufacturing and private home ownership.

To be fair, the insanity of both the stock and bond markets started becoming really apparent around then.

Still hasn't gotten any more sane, unfortunately.
The code you’re talking about is a query. There are straightforward ways to do this now (including graphql). There are some issues with it, though.

The query (or code, if you will) is separate from your data, meaning the aspects of the data a query depends on can’t change without breaking the query. You can have versioned apis and keep the old apis around, or have a query compatibility rewrite layer, etc. but obviously these kinds of things have serious complications/limitations.

That approach is useful only in proportion to how broad, granular, and flexible the API is that you provide for the code/query to access. That sounds good, but such an API is a lot of work to create and a lot more work to maintain. An API is like a promise. If you make big promises, it will take a lot of effort to keep them.

Also, realistically you have to limit arbitrary code sent in from untrusted sources that runs on your server. Even completely non-malicious users will write inefficient code or have inadvertent infinite loops that will eat up your compute budget if you don’t have controls in place.

So...

It’s very often better to add a “listeningStatsByGenre” endpoint if that seems to be what your users want.

If you look at the example represented by the screenshot, with a half-dozen people in a channel, these issues probably don't matter that much.

I'm not sure what cryptography laws have to do with anything. But in this false dichotomy, I'd much rather the NSA have the data. They have far less power and influence. Google censors dissidents and shapes public opinion each and every day.
>This looks so nice, and I've been desperate for years for a great, fast-refreshing e-ink device and/or monitor,

Unfortunately, the e-ink monitor space has still just two major players - Dasung/Onyx and there is a need gap for 'Affordable E-Ink large external displays'[1]. I hope that these newer e-Ink tablet/reader makers graduate soon to make large external monitors, but then again I've been hoping that for past several years.

Probably highly dependent on what you're doing with it and whether or not your SMB implementation supports the direct RDMA extensions.

In my case its mostly because I tend to run VMs on various older semi-retired machines with limited or slow local storage that I only turn on when I need them, and VMware's VMFS is cluster-aware, so it really doesn't matter which hypervisor is the one I end up spinning it up on.

I haven't dealt with Unraid specifically but there are a lot of caching and network parameters that can wildly affect performance -- VMware for example wants to do synchronous writes on network storage for obvious reasons, and having a safe write-cache and large transfers with enough in-flight commands can make a night and day difference.

If you're primarily just using NFS/SMB as file shares then getting iSCSI working probably isn't going to be a good use of your time versus figuring out why the existing setup behaves that way -- Samba and SMB performance tuning can be a frustrating experience but iSCSI is far more opaque and inscrutable on Windows particularly.

_The first half of this section covers technology-specific changes to our assumptions.

I think "admits" is a reasonable term to use here, in the sense of acceptance or allowing the possibility. "Admit" is sometimes used to refer to an admission of guilt, or the admission of some secret that was previously denied, and that meaning would seem to be incorrect.
I think you have to get below 10ms for humans to be unable to notice. Drawing is a worst case scenario for exposing screen latency; it's hard to match reality's 0ms and a pen with a fine tip doesn't help hide any of it like a comparatively chunky finger does. That said, 40ms -> 21ms is a really big improvement which could make the experience go from awkward to quite usable.

It works extremely well in some areas but it’s not widely available in all areas. One possible solution to that is ultra high voltage dc transmission lines. Hydro Quebec is currently in the process of building one to connect Canada to the New England grid to supply very cheap hydro power to New England.
Exactly. The Fed has pumped trillions of dollars in an economy that is stuck, nothing new is being done except for tech. No wonder this money has to flow into tech stocks, and I tell you that it won't stop until something changes in the economic scenario, or the Fed for some reason decides to stop its super-easy-money policy.
It not only avoids the battery problem, but can be a solution to the battery problem.
The grandstanding against economists is disappointing.

Let's say you were driving at night with someone in the country, and because they either knew the road or could see farther ahead they said, "There's a boulder in a road ahead, we're likely going to hit it if you don't slow down and turn to avoid it."

And you do slow down and it allows you to turn to avoid a crash. How do you respond? Mock them for always being wrong about predicting a crash?

People mistake warnings about possible recessions, which have a probability attached, with forecasting an inevitable doomsday recession. There's no credit given to economists for the recessions or depressions avoided.

Often the warnings are about the risk of a recession with no intervention, and in an overwhelming majority of cases there is some action taken in fiscal and monetary policy to soften the blow or avoid the worst outcomes.

High-impact wealthy people have also already been limiting their consumption via sub-replacement fertility for at least the last half-century. The only population growth in those countries is from immigration.

It's puzzling how the article can claim that consumption at the rate of wealthy nations is unsustainable, even with their relatively small populations, then propose as the solution to raise a far larger number of people to the same levels of affluence and consumption.

It reads epubs and rtfs, but not mobi or lit or a few others. Its text handling and formatting aren't great but they're working on it. If I was reading a novel I'd stick with an ereader but if I had 20 research papers to go through it's the remarkable by a long shot.

These kind of optimization are incredibly painful in Rust one common suggestion is to sidestep the issue and store an offset + length in the nodes and then you take that to look up the value from the original string when you need the value.
It seems like we have endless ways to store energy at grid scale but we don't employ them because coal/natural gas is "cheaper" than storage, and likely will be until an industry for grid-scale storage starts grinding down costs (as opposed to piggybacking off of something maximized for power/weight like li-ion).

abduhl is correct.

Those who are not poor within a community should be prepared to help others in their community.

As someone who is a director of engineering at a tech company in one of richest zip codes in the country, what have you done to prepare to help both yourself and others within your community that are more vulnerable such as the poor, elderly and infirm? Or will you be another helpless victim adding to the burden that FEMA responders will have to attend to?

If you are not prepared yourself when you have the financial means and technical capacity to do so, you're taking away resources from those that actually need that support in the event of a disaster.

How do you know by the way that this will never happen?
Except that sometimes you have a phone, a computer and a smart TV, and syncing the data between all of those is non-trivial. It's easier to assume the server as the source of truth.

Sometimes you want to work with big data banks that you have no hope of ever storing. Your listening history is small enough to fit on your phone. Amazon's whole product directory, with reviews and indexes for quick data retrieval, is not.
Theoretically, predicting what the economy will do depends on also predicting most other major events. For example, to know in advance how the economy would do in 2020, you would have had to predict the pandemic. You also need to predict wars, natural disasters, the weather (snowstorms affect the economy), elections, and which new laws will pass for things like stimulus bills.

Sure, sometimes it averages out. But often it's the opposite, more like catastrophic cancellation. The outcome of a close election is inherently unpredictable because large opposing forces mostly cancel out.

It's odd how, whenever we talk about what will happen next year, we forget how we were blindsided this year.
This is false and a garbage perspective.

The US is objectively doing far worse than any other nation going by infection numbers and death tolls alone. I can’t imagine how a reasonable person can believe that this is anything but a disaster of epic proportions.

Second waves were always a possibility and they will almost certainly happen without a significant testing and tracing infrastructure. Just because EU has not been perfect doesn’t mean it’s comparable to the disaster we have in the US. 180k official deaths as of writing.

I'm sure this is not the case, but there are often environmental and political concerns around hydro. For example, Ethiopia's new dam on the Nile river has caused tension with their neighbours, who're worried about the control it gives Ethiopia over the water supply in the river [0]

> Do you think tons of people are going to start dining out again? Going to gyms? Going to the movies?

When the first lockdowns ended in Europe, people started to do just that. Restaurants in many countries are like normal, gyms that I walk past on the street look about as full as they have ever been. I have spent two months of this summer traveling around, and I found some tourist destinations crowded with people who had come all the way across Europe to get there, including a lot of elderly pensioners who one would imagine would be the most at-risk group. If there wasn’t uncertainty about flight cancellations, even more people would have taken their holidays abroad this summer regardless of the virus.

Because of the high case numbers in the USA and the sheer uncertainty about the prevalence of the virus and public health measures’ effectiveness due to political indecision, I understand that a lot of Americans are panicked and truly afraid of going back to normal for the moment. But I suspect that with time, there will simply be a COVID fatigue and many of these same worried people are eventually going to go back to their same old routine.

I can't actually see a clear use for Muse right this second, but I am going to attempt to use it to lay out a high-level application architecture so let's see how it goes down tomorrow with the CTO. The major issue I can see coming is that everything is slower than me writing on the screen. Creating a box, typing stuff, moving it, then drawing arrows and line. I have to keep switching between fingers and pencil, which disrupts my flow. I'm sure your research will have some insight on this matter. It's a nicely polished product and you seem to have nailed both design and execution, if not the costs - it's not really in my discretionary spending budget right now, but if it proves a critical component, that changes everything. Good luck.

Beyond Meat launches website to sell plant-based meat directly to people online
This is a very reasonable comment. Social sciences are frustratingly imprecise. But, understanding the history of various scenarios is useful. And, it can result in useful policy changes which avoid the worst, as you mentioned.
FEMA isn’t supposed to be a nationwide front-line disaster management agency. It’s supposed to be a backstop for when state governments, who have the primary responsibility for disaster relief, become overwhelmed. (Put differently, nobody voted for the whole country to subsidize hurricane prone states through FEMA.) It makes total sense for FEMA to focus on disasters that could happen anywhere rather than ones that happen routinely in certain hurricane prone stages.
