Consumers would be better served to direct that investment toward utility scale storage, with advantages including economy of scale.

This assumes quality utility management, which may be doubtful. But if we as a society cannot get our collective act together to run modern electrical utilities, distributed storage is a poor band-aid.

It's worth noting that a feature of life on unreliable third world utility grids is that people with money spend a lot on redundant generation and storage.
A proof is only performed under certain assumptions and is far from a logical certainty for all time.
There are really so many of us in this boat. I'm on the 2016 SE and loving it. For all these reasons. I've been waiting and waiting for something small enough to come, but TBH, this is working just fine for me at this time, why upgrade? The only thing that really is lacking for me is the camera. For that reason, will see what October has to offer vs. the new SE.
Fascinating that you singled out white people. The original poster could have any ethnic heritage, but you went with white. Why is that? It may be a good idea to interrogate your biases.
I mean I guess that's true. But it's also true that every reversion was entirely unnecessary.

It definitely makes a non-collaborative environment when everything you try to do to help is met with entirely unnecessary hassle.

It's a bit like trying to drive a car with a passenger who doesn't have a license and doesn't know how to drive, but is constantly telling you how to do things and even keeps grabbing the wheel and sometimes tries to reach their leg over to push the pedals. Sure it's possible to drive your car from a-to-b this way. But is it a way that you're likely to repeat? Not really.
I think this is one of those things we're going to disagree about. Within the America I see as a conference attendee seeking lunch outside of meetings in the food malls, portion control is out of control. Overall, yes, you can eat healthy anywhere. There is a "value" proposition which drives a lot of people to order bigger than they need. The same "value" proposition drives food outlets to compete on size for the same dollar cost. Carbohydrates are a cheap way to achieve size/bulk. Adding extra carbs is low input cost, high profit outcome.

Super-size-me as a film required the market to exist. They didn't make the problem up.
Wasn't something very similar in size proposed for use in Alaska?

I just got done looking for a new domain and I told my team this exact thing (but in a more paranoid "anywhere on the internet" way).

If I find a domain candidate I think we might want and its available, I buy it as soon as humanly possible (I.e. Route53 tab on the other half of my monitor). ~$12 is not a big deal if we end up never using it. I'll just go through and uncheck the auto-renew option.
I think about this a lot. We are the first people in human history to see the planets up close, so to speak.

For thousands of years, humans stared up at the sky and watched these luminous dots change position over time. They made up stories about them, tracked them, designed instruments to turn these blurry, luminous dots into slightly-less-blurry luminous dots.

But in this long human journey of thousands of years, we are the first generation to actually see these dots of light as the worlds they are. Us. You and me. So many thousands of years of ancient dreaming and wondering, going all the way back to our hominid ancestors, gazing at the night sky in wordless wonder.

And we, our generation of humans, are the culmination of this journey of imagination.

What they could only imagine, we know. For the first time in history, in my lifetime, we've visited every planet in the solar system. Any planet you see in the sky? We have photos of it. We've mapped its surface, or visited it directly. You want to know what sunset on Mars looks like? You don't have to guess.

We take this all for granted. I don't think we even appreciate the legacy we inherited. It feels like there should be a Planet Day, where we all celebrate the knowing. Where we symbolically link hands with our ancestors across time, with everyone who ever squinted up at all the little sparkles on the big black ocean and wished they knew what they were.

A day when everyone looks at at least one photograph from every celestial body we've seen, and appreciates the gift we've been given. And then maybe looks at the best photos we have of exoplanets, and realizes that we are in the same position today that our hominid ancestors were, wondering what these places will someday turn out to be, and who we will be when we finally know them.

You're basing that, I assume, on the US Recommended Daily Allowance for protein which is 0.8g protein/kg body weight -- or 65 g for your example of a 180 lb person.

But this metric is widely misunderstood [1] -- "it’s the minimum amount you need to keep from getting sick — not the specific amount you are supposed to eat every day."

If you follow the link, you'll see that doctors actually recommend around double that for full health, and that Americans on the whole actually consume too little protein in comparison. The idea that we consume too much protein is actually a long-popular myth.

So no, the Pret sandwich is nowhere even close to half the protein you should be consuming daily.

My guess is that the pitch of safety is to the public (experts already know it is safe enough and that insurance more than covers expenses). And that modularity/size is a pitch to investors over cost.

From my understanding, small reactors haven't been popular in the past because they still have the same insurance premiums as large reactors. If I'm wrong, or this changes, then that's a big reduction in cost alongside the aspects you mentioned.

Seems like they used a sodium coolant - great thermal properties as it allows for atmospheric pressure loop. But sodium introduces the chemical hazard and all the associated maintenance and materials woes and accident scenarios. Also, the power density on the 4S was relatively high.
That's okay, now that you're familiar with the term, you'll end up noticing it a lot more (or maybe it's just that articles that happen to lend themselves to it showing up in their comments look slightly more appealing now?).

Tethers shift the economics of landing ships or materials on earth, since they can trade delta v with things outbound.

But it seems like you have to trade power for accuracy; if you can hit a tiny window moving in three dimensions inside of a 3 body problem, then you don’t need to be able to manage as much delta V (increasing to leave, or decreasing to land). Smaller rockets, less need for ablative materials.

But if you miss, boy are you fucked.

One solution for this I’ve heard is you take enough fuel to get where you’re going with plenty to spare. If everything goes right, you offload your emergency supplies (reaction mass, fuel) and get a credit.

I’m not sure how much handwaving goes along with moving liquids and gasses in vacuum, at zero g... burst a line you need a lot of reaction mass to reorient yourself.

Maybe there’s an emergency venting design where all of the forces cancel out...
1. This sounds like a somewhat naive take on filtering algorithms.

2. Does it matter if it’s Facebooks “fault” or not? The issue is their power.

Imho ideally they would acknowledge and accept responsibility for their power and in the US at least there would also be some laws regulating them in this regard.

Try a carnivore diet for 1 month. Eat as much as you need, but meat, fish, eggs and dairy only. You'll probably find your cravings decreasing when you're full. Carbs are addictive, give you a sugar rush which is then followed by a crash. You end up craving more carbs to boost your energy each time you crash, but then you just set yourself up to repeat the process.

Have plenty of zero or low carb snacks prepared so that you aren't tempted to reach for potato chips, cakes, donuts and cookies, etc. I recommend making plenty of beef biltong/jerky, pickled eggs, deviled eggs, or scotch eggs (but replace the breadcrumbs with crushed pork scratchings).
Interesting, wouldn't have expected that given the relative lack of spice.
As an aside, if you get to Greenwich, go get some fish and chips from the Golden Chippy. Best I've had in England.
> Roads are non-rivalrous (to an extent). Meaning during off-peak times a private toll road would likely be under utilized if it were not regulated/subsidized.

Arterial roads may be non-rivalrous in the same sense as the internet backbone, but the last mile to your home is definitely a natural monopoly for both roads and ISPs. How would you feel about ubiquitous toll roads that start at the end of your driveway?

IMHO we as a society and species are still figuring out mass communication.

Propaganda, misinformation and deception have always been human issue - mass media magnified them as it does everything else.

And I think we all have the right to critique social media, just like we can critique the news, books, movies, etc.

We don’t have to agree but the discussion is a valid one to have!

We get to help shape our society and world, after all :).
GoDaddy forces you to disable privacy protection to transfer domains off of them. One more truly villainous practice designed to force people to stay. Eventually I became so dissatisfied with GoDaddy that I took the risk and transferred my really old domains off of them anyway. I got lucky and scum websites like domainstools didn't manage to archive my name and address to sell to online stalkers in time, but it's a risk you'd have to take.
I'd be interested in how feasible this would be. Even tiny address spaces like 256 bytes have tons of potential ways to fill it (factors): a process could have : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, or even 256 bytes. How do you identify which are running?

This seems like a wrong move. The idea seems to disassociate employees from the problems of Facebook, and the problem the platform creates...

When you work at Facebook you should know what's going on and what the company is doing and causing and trying to help fix it.

Wasn't the payout an extra $600 / week? That's equivalent of an extra $20 / hour of a 40 hour workweek after tax withholdings. Around half of income earners in the US make less than that from working, my wife's included. It should also be noted that a little over 2% only make the federal minimum wage.

In fact, the NYT broke this down on a state-by-state basis:
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/04/23/business/econ...

Aside from whether or not the minimum wage should be increased, it does seem to demonstrate easily enough that the stimulus is a perverse incentive.

Bringing this back to the original point I was replying to, it utterly fails the definition of the top level of charity by encouraging people to become dependent on the largess of others.

That's not to say it is therefore a bad thing, but it certainly isn't a reason to call paying taxes the highest level of charity.

How so? I think it's more than fair to ask an "opponent" to practice what they preach. If Princeton believes that Princeton is systematically racist, then it seems logical that they should be systematically defunded. Taking Princeton's admission of guilt at face value means just that and nothing more, certainly nothing like accepting all of the claims of Critical Race Theory.

You can write other languages like this in Groovy using Intellij. Intellij allows you to annotate a multiline string as another language, then it will parse and syntax color, autoformat for you. The use case would be when you are templating frontend code snippets on the server side. I'm not sure if its just Groovy though, I'm betting Intellij can probably do this with other languages that have multiline strings.

We're talking about Federal districts here, not state. It'd take a constitutional amendment to alter the single-member, FPTP practice, wouldn't it? That's much, much, MUCH harder than passing a state law to change redistricting / gerrymandering practices.

> but is there really a need to have this kind of language interoperability at compile time?

Well, if you want to leverage Java's static type system (and why not?), the answer is, yes. I imagine you'd want type and member references to the other language to resolve statically using the compiler, right? Similarly, why not have the same functionality in your IDE? Plus code completion, usage searching, refactoring?

Now, as I mentioned in an earlier comment, the embedding part of this addresses just a small segment of use-cases e.g., scoped query editing. The vast majority of other cases work directly against resource files, type-safely. Read more about that here:

I found that my JS experience made a lot of Elixir feel very familiar (lambdas, destructuring, default args, string interpolation, optional typing).

And compared to Node, the BEAM is a godsend in terms of its non-blocking process scheduling and fault isolation. A single uncaught exception in Node and kaboom. Plus, if you do anything cpu intensive with Node, your app stalls. In the BEAM, infinite loops are even fine due to time slice scheduling.

The Russian Vikings (i.e. the Vikings who in the 9th century founded the original Russian state - Kievan Rus and accompanying dukedoms around - and ruled it for several centuries after that) were raiding as far as Caspian Sea and Iran and bringing the trophies - goods and slaves - for sale back as far as Scandinavia. So there were a lot of cross-continental blood/DNA mixing during those centuries (9th-12th) until Mongols came and that started another chapter.
They got EUV working in production.

Of course, I'm sure Hubble got funded because of Keyhole in the first place.

> Fascinating that you singled out white people. The original poster could have any ethnic heritage, but you went with white.

I wasn't commenting about the original poster but about the broad community that have been making this exact argument about this exact issue since it entered the public debate, and a wide number of other issues for, well, almost the entire time that population studies that would support this kind of discussion of the past have existed.

(And, yes, you can see identical behavior referencing different identity divides besides white and non-white in the same period over the same broad class of past-population issues, but this specific issue of darker-skinned past inhabitants of the British Isles is one of the focuses of whites and the flexible nature of the label “black”.)
