>People whose existences are deeply politicized (and they do indeed exist) are not often excited to have political conversations with people who say things like "'existence is political' thing is just a bullshit phrase."

It is a bullshit phrase though. They don't want to bring anything up because any skepticism is viewed as a direct attack on their ideology, and their ideology is the core of their existence, so, calling out the illogic of their ideology is a political attack on their existence.

It's an old tactic used the world over in places like communist Russia, China and North Korea.
I'm dyslexic and my learning to read happened in a burst from ages 11 to 13. I got a lot of extra attention at school which was mostly around drilling phonics, like shhh sounds with ti, si, ci. And learning strategies on decomposing words.

One one of the really impactful things I did that contributed to large improvements in my reading and spelling was working on a computer based system. It had you type words that you watched change color on screen whilst TTS spoke the word back to you. This was combining fine motor control, visual perception and hearing into all into how I was learning. It was a game changer for me. At the time, mid nineties this would have been pretty cutting edge software in the education world. I'm not sure what things are like now but I was thinking about it the other day just how lucky i was with that.
Yup, thorium-based nuclear power does not generate much nuclear waste at all, for example, and nuclear waste can be recycled, called "nuclear recycling"[1].

Nuclear waste is NOT an issue.

> The reason it doesn’t bother anyone Is that the conversion is mindless. Calibre automatically converts when you send books to your Kindle.

FWIW, it bothers me, but largely for pragmatic reasons: Unless I routinely delete the automatically converted .mobi files, the size of my ebook library would more than double (.epub files are somewhat smaller than .mobi).

The practical difference between regularly syncing and backing up a multi-Gigabyte library and one that has twice as many files and is >2x larger is pretty significant.

And since I'm not keeping the .mobi files around, the conversion has to be done again every time I copy the book to my Kindle (for example, to re-read it), and the extra delay, particularly when transferring several ebooks, is rather annoying.

Nuclear has had 70+ years and untold zillions in government research money and subsidies poured into it[1] - if the same level of investment over time had gone into renewables, imagine where they'd be now.

[1] worldwide - germany, uk, canada, france, russia etc in addition to the us - everyone did build their experimental gas/molten salt/fuel recycling/pebble bed etc reactor research programs and reactors. not to mention all the free experiments and r&d experience from the military applications.

Individuals are also free to sink as much of their resources into it as they want.

The fact of the matter is political conversations have high risk of annoying/frustrating/alienating their participants. To have these conversations at work is just making employees less productive and asking for a controversy.
Is there greater danger in passing over a possibly competent startup with technical debt such as this, or greater danger in ignoring a potential sign?

Obviously it's not a 100% sign. Just a heuristic. One of many, I'd assume. But I can't fault someone for using one when the cost of a false positive so far outweighs the cost of a false negative.
The simple solution to that problem is indeed batteries. Currently battery production is growing exponentially. Factories are crossing into the TWH per year territory. That's right now.

Batteries are going to be absolutely everywhere. There are going to be millions of EVs on the road and plugged into the grid technically capable to absorb from and deliver energy to the grid. And that's just cars.

For reference, one mid size EV with about 50KWH of battery is the equivalent of about 4-5 days of electricity usage for a normal household. 2 million such EVs would provide about 1 TWH of battery capacity, enough to power up to 10 million houses for a day.

Now add wind, solar, domestic solar (on your roof, windows) and grid cables to the mix and we are talking about a massive distributed network of periodically (over) producing sites and hundreds of millions of EVs, trucks, grid batteries, and other energy storage solutions capable of either delivering or soaking up or delivering in the order of PWH energy. That's basically happening in the next two decades.

So, we won't need gas plants or nuclear plants on the grid long term. Or rather, we might use them if they get much cheaper than they are currently are or are expected to be.

Of course, any kind of planning involving today's price levels of battery or electricity cost are probably off by orders of magnitude as clean energy solutions and batteries are still dropping in cost.

A 10x drop in price is entirely feasible with improvements in efficiency, mass production, use of cheaper materials, etc. For both solar and battery. There are so many companies working on a wide variety of this kind of improvements that I'd go as far as saying that that 10x drop in price is more a question of when than if. 'When' here is about 2 decades or less. It's the 100x mark that interests me because I believe that's feasible as well but obviously a bit further out.

A 100x drop in the price of electricity (measured in $ per KWH) completely and utterly destroys the business case for any form of nuclear currently being planned, considered, or dreamed of. Or rather it reduces it to a niche market for places where it is desirable to have lots of power but impractical to be connected to the grid, lots of batteries, and wind/solar solutions. These places exist of course. But they are far from populated areas. Think remote sites in the arctic, large ships, etc. Small reactors would be awesome for cleaning up the shipping sector.

One little snag here is of course that while small reactors are going to be safe, they can be made unsafe rather easily by slapping some explosives to them. You say small reactor, I say dirty bomb waiting to happen. They're kind of hopeless from a safety point of view unless you keep them in a maximum security facility. That makes using them rather expensive.
A strong opinion and skepticism are not exclusive.

Now we come to the core of the issue: what constitutes an acceptable balance between strength of opinion and evidence? Who arbitrates that? I say it is quite subjective.

You say her opinions are irrational and exhibit phobia. I disagree: I'd say putting such a definitive label on her position is irrational.
I think he pushes back against a fair number of things. But he treats his guests with respect, and won't push peoples buttons (for example, look at some of the vegan guests/etc). So he frequently lets things slide, and if you listen, you can frequently hear it, just like you can tell when your friends are doing the "sure, lets change the topic now" thing around you to avoid conflict.

The veggie thing is probably one of those areas that at some point someone will show up and be like, its possible to body build, live a healthy life without your tst supplements and eating raw deer. And he will end up having a reasoned conversation with them. Maybe, he has a lot of fairly unscientific beliefs around nutrition AFAIK.

BTW: Not sure I really agree with either of you, but there are is some very downvote heavy people in this topic, and I've been upvoting a lot of things I think have been unfairly downvoted for expressing fairly reasoned opinions. So have an upvote.. :)

No one has production capacity to vaccinate everyone in a month or two. So yes of course, they said only healthcare workers and teachers are going to get it this month, and not all of them.

Is any cuisine, or any aspect of culture for that matter, ever not derivative? I doubt it.

The Portuguese may have been early European consumers of potatoes, but they likely got that from the Spanish, who in turn got it from Central or South America, where human consumption of this tuber originated thousands of years ago. There is no telling how many cultures it may have passed through that have been lost to the ages. And even the first potato consumers may have been inspired to eat potatoes from a prior culture of eating other sorts of roots.

Now I don't know what this was like previously, but nowadays one of the most common travel advice for vacations in the US is "Do not talk about politics with Americans. It's not a good topic for dinner conversation over there."

Make of that what you will.

Now what I've been wondering after hearing that advice multiple times is: What do Americans talk about at dinner and other occasions? Because here political issues is about half of a typical dinner conversation, the other half being recounting recent news and events. Even most of the jokes we make are political... I probably wouldn't know what to talk about.
> "In physics and mathematics, the dimension of a mathematical space (or object) is informally defined as the minimum number of coordinates needed to specify any point within it."

> Since we can define an order and enumerate all possible gameplays (not just states -- all possible gameplays) from 1 to however many possible games there are, the game is only 1D.

This argument only makes sense if you stop reading the wikipedia page after the first sentence. The rest of the page talks about coordinates being properties that can change independently of other properties of the system, and other things that contradict what you're arguing.

E.g.:

> 1. You can reduce the board to 1D (line all fields one after another, preserving their names, but giving them order that will let you describe position of a piece with a single number).

A mapping like that would be a bijection of a chessboard, but would not be homeomorphic to one. That is, points that are adjacent in one mapping can be distant in the other, so there's no reason to assume they have the same dimensionality. (To the extent that a set of discrete points has dimensionality, anyway.)
I expect to die long before we get useful magnetic-confinement D-D fusion.

There are a lot of alternatives being worked on, with venture money, that might yield before I die. But the Tokamaks have always been a jobs program to maintain a good population of high-neutron-flux techs ready to draw upon for weapons programs. It is why p-B fusion has never attracted any gov money: no neutrons.
As far as I understood, from the bureaucratic point of view this was some kind of temporary approval needed to include risk groups in phase 3 trial, which could be a good thing given the general urgency of the situation. And then, yes, Putin made a political gesture out of this implementation detail.
Houdini doesn't appear to be a solid modeller, so it'll have the same problem(s) that Blender has. eg: The models it creates aren't exportable to any solid based format (STEP, IGES) that a CAM system could use for making parts with.

That being said, if people are just doing 3d printing then there are probably "good enough" workarounds, as Blender does.

The free "Houdini Apprentice" version seems like it might fulfil that need:

> One person to have received it is the president's daughter.

Given that murdering Putin's daughter carries a near 100% risk of polonium poisoning, I very strongly doubt that she was used as a guinea pig. If any injection was done at all, it was most likely saline.
I use leanpub and gumroad for my technical books. Both of them are non-exclusive, you retain the rights and ability to sell anywhere else you like. Leanpub has 20% cut, but that's probably because they allow you to generate the ebook in pdf/epub/mobi formats from their website.

An important feature I like is the ability to update the books (due to s/w versions, typos, adding new content, etc) and notify the users regarding the new version.

Another feature for both sites is that customer can pay more than the price of the product. And that does happen often enough to make it a highlight of using their site. But this may probably apply more for technical books than fiction.
> What wasn't said was that they were black

> it seems quite a stretch to assume that they were as dark as African peoples.

Africans also aren't the color black. Nobody said the first Britons were SubSaharan African at all. They just said they had dark skin.

This is bolstered by the discovery that a widespread gene -
SLC24A5 - associated with fairer skin is a recent (8k years ago) phenomenon in Europe associated with the arrival of middle eastern farmers, in whom it developed due to their Vitamin-D poor cereal-based diet [1].

The same gene is present across Eurasia through to South Asia, and is partially responsible for pigmentation variation there also, even moreso than in Europe, where the gene is almost ubiquitous today. [2]

Of course it's not the only gene that controls depigmentation. Depigmentation in East Asia is not related to that gene at all - though it could be similarly influenced by cereal-based diets.

Full English, great hearty breakfast to start a big day. Not everyday though if being kind to the heart.

Sunday roast, great hearty filling meal after a big day.

Pudding, chips, peas, gravy, a great filling chippy tea.

Ploughman lunch with pork pie, yum.

Agreed they are some good foods, I wouldn’t say we have fine foods, we have simple foods and tastes. I live overseas now and sometimes miss the simple foods when feeling hungry and craving a big feed. A northern English chippy tea is especially hard to find, going out to a restaurant for Italian, French, Greek, Indian etc etc doesn’t hit the same spot when craving chippy tea although I pretty much love all food and mainly eat non English cuisine

It depends on the definition of 'people'. There were many who adopted numpy much before the ecosystem had had time to catchup. But I would readily concede that Dr. Jones @national_lab didnt at that time, in fact he probably hasnt even now.

I do disagree strongly with the opinion that Numpy is no better than MATLAB :). MATLAB has adopted some Numpy features after Numpy came out (broadcasting for example) but Numpy offered some genuine and unique advantages, both technical (broadcasting, no need for a MEX compiler that I have to pay through my nose for, not restricted to weird naming conventions, nature of parameter passing, ...) and legal.
The big difference is that with hardware it feels wasteful. With software, you're not missing out on anything if they decide to lock certain features under a paywall. But if the hardware already exists and can perform a certain function and the only thing blocking it from doing that is a license key then doesn't that seem like a waste of good hardware? Software is unlimited but hardware isn't.
I’m not at all contesting your reasons, which I expect were plentiful enough to build this system. I’m simply saying that if I want to use Java’s static type system, I’ll just write in Java. Perhaps I’m an old codger these days in my ripe early 40s.

I am not concerned about hurting the poor corporation. What I am concerned about is having actual laws in place, not enforcement based on outrage. If Facebook is doing thing X, we decide we shouldn't allow thing X, we make thing X illegal. If FB continues to do thing X, we apply the law to them. We don't just dish out punishments for vague "You're hurting America" crimes. You need to define the thing you want banned, and it can't be "Facebook."

This was always the case, it's only that recently you feel it's been extended to your particular issues.

At various times in the history of the US specifically, but analogues exist in most other places, you could have been fired or otherwise pariah'ed for:

Freely discussing the conditions and rights of laborers

Discussing political ideologies like communism

Discussing various sects of Christian belief

Discussing Non-Christian beliefs

Being for or against political popular movements

Being against police authority

Discussing or demonstrating opposition to wars

Simply being one of a set of ethnicities

Being, or discussing, being gay

Being, or discussing, being an atheist

While I personally think that Joe Rogan's podcast, the conversations of a pedestrian comedian and self-professed moron who sometimes lands interesting guests, is a strange hill for Spotify to be fighting on, there was no time in US history that such "unfortunate and unacceptable" events weren't happening.

McCarthyism and the blacklisting of many otherwise wealthy entertainers is usually the textbook case of this and that is within living memory. This sickness is rooted deeply in American culture, and we only think there was some reprieve due to the academic freedoms and immense prosperity of a post-WW2 boom era that ended 40 years ago, followed by a brief period of online semi-anonymous expression that lasted until around 2000 when the great masses finally found it and brought it back to the baseline awfulness of the rest of the culture
I think this is artificially restricting the solution space.

We have fixed price and supply of electricity over the day due to historical reasons, but it's not the future. And we can make the change gradually using variable pricing and speeding up the transition with the tools of regulation.

And of course other developments will help counter the price spikes - manufacturing and cooling systems adapting their power usage patterns, hvdc lines, energy storage, houses getting more energy efficient to cool/heat by using insulation and heat/cold recovery in ventilation etc etc. Energy is currently just so incredibly cheap that most obvious improvements are left on the table or progressing at glacial speeds.
I lived in Missoula, MT for over a decade after my father moved us there for his law schooling. I knew vaguely about Glacial Lake Missoula, but seeing the actual effects as I traveled from Missoula to my parents new home in the Tri-cities-WA really hammered home the size of the floods. And then again when I flew into Pasco from Seattle and I saw the cliffs that funneled the floods south. I suspect my geologist father always knew where he was going.
