In a world where existing natural gas infrastructure transitions to hydrogen, securing sufficient hydrogen fuel at airports seems totally practical.

Due to the fuel's low density, the conventional fuselage designs lose a lot of load capacity.

The blended wing body looks practical, with plenty of interior volume. Hearing people complain about passengers not wanting to sit in a stadium, or that their inner ear will be unmitigatedly upset by roll changes remind me of historical folks who said cars would never take off because they'd scare the horses.

I have friends who live in a complex that was built for athlete housing during the 2010 Winter Olympics. The sewage treatment plant is 1 away on one side and an asphalt plant is 1km away on the other side and have been there before anybody ever considered building anything else near there.

There are never ending complaints from the residents about the asphalt plant.

The town council soliciting bids to have paving done got only one quote - from the company that operate the asphalt plant. They offered to truck the asphalt in from their other plant in the next town 45 minutes away, with all the trucking costs at the town’s expense.

SUVs are basically required in many parts of the US. Or at very least, it's much worse to have a sedan in the snowier and hillier parts of the country. Not to mention towing capacity or the more rural areas where off-road capabilities are important.
"Suddenly, Baraitser repeated out loud the part quote that if prison conditions in the US were good and the sentence were short, then Kopelman’s clinical opinion would change, and ostentatiously typed it onto her laptop, as though it were very significant indeed."

I have been hosting my own email using mailinabox. The tool is so painless I suggest more people should use it. The only ongoing maintenance I have had to manage is rebooting it to apply updates. The whole thing is backed up with a built in backup tool that rsyncs the data to my home server.

The only downside is you lose that automatic email filtering thing gmail does.
Why would we even ban SUVs or pickups? If you are concerned with global warming it seems to me that pollution should be taxed and if some people are still choosing to do so they can. And then keep raising these goals so we get rid of inefficient SUVs. This is what EU is doing pretty successfully with the German car manufacturers being dragged kicking and screaming into making low polluting cars.
You must not be aware that the "hockey stick" graph did not hold up in a court of Law when challenged by Tim Ball. Michael Mann was ordered by the Supreme Court of British Columbia to produce the science behind the "hockey stick" graph and when he failed the judge ruled that Mann had committed contempt of court.

Well, cold fusion wasn't cold either, or at least that wasn't the claim. Cold didn't refer to the temperature at the point of fusion, but rather the ambient temperature. You can get extreme temperatures within otherwise room temperature materials. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonoluminescence

Fleischmann and Pons were reporting their results without any hypothesis as to the mechanism. I think the consequence of the whole kerfuffle is that today nobody will bother trying to reproduce your results without a concrete, plausible hypothesis.

Saying that something isn't cold fusion is another way of claiming "it's not a scam", and normally implies "we can describe the phenomenon in terms of known physics".
Top of hacker news is a pretty low bar. Do you really think that significant purchasing decisions are going to be influenced by this? That’s not a snarky rhetorical question, I’m actually asking.

I ask because I can tell you for a fact that at my large enterprise, they will not be. If anything, this incident will be used as an example by those looking for cover. “if an org like Microsoft can make this mistake, you really have no justification for being mad at our department for a similar leak.”

This is just my opinion, so grain of salt.

But I think this is an untenable restriction for a tiny indie team if you want to ship something across multiple platforms in a relatively short amount of time.

We were ten months from start to finish on PC SteamVR, a couple months to Oculus, and then four to PS4. With two people. My game is built on top of literally millions of man hours of development. This game would basically never have happened without a ton of proprietary software.

That all said, it's awesome to see when people have the opportunity to go full custom engine like they did with Amnesia or Noita.
I vaguely remember this kind of tech being discussed a few years ago. It seemed legit at the time, though I have no idea if this particular implementation is.
Think of the California Consumer Privacy Act. It affected the whole country.
Be careful if you're trusting any of those sandbox services for accurate results though - some malware is able to detect the VM they're running in and refuse to run the malicious payload. Often times legitimate cracks will be distributed on sources like Usenet using a "binder" to attach the malicious payload the an otherwise perfectly fine crack.

As a side note, for some reason, there's way more malware on usenet than bittorrent, I've even found it on games on major NZB sites, possibly just due to the seed counts weeding out the malicious ones via simple popularity in the public bittorrent world.

>Let's pretend that this is unequivocally true.

I don't have to pretend, it is true. Not a single nuclear plant in the United States has opened on time and on budget. Not a single one. In the 1950s, nuclear power was heralded as the cheapest electricity possible, so cheap that it would be almost free. Electricity generated from nuclear is about four times more expensive than solar and wind.

>Does your 'money pit' statement account for the benefits of reduced mortality and greenhouse emissions, or are you only thinking about the electric bill?

I don't live in fantasy land, somebody has to pay for it. I am already on the hook for PG&E's misdeeds.

Having tens of nuclear graveyards, especially close to population centers is not a good idea when California is covered with active faults. Nuclear needs water and lots of it. Perhaps you are not familiar with California.

I am sorry to hear your experiences. I hope you're in a better position mentally - I feel like it is a feedback loop effect: Stuttering causes anxiety which causes more stuttering. I had similar (not stuttering) problems when speaking in social settings. I discovered some techniques like breathing control, always thinking about what life means to me - "The king and the pawn, all go back into the same box after the game is over". I found that through some behavioral therapy, I don't have social anxiety because every situation I handle - I handle it like I am in no way obligated to please these people and even if shit hits the fan, it is not the end of the world. We are all here for a temporary period in our lives...some 80 years or so.

Not sure if this would work for others, but this is how I see the world. It helps me battle stress.

Which parts of the generics manifesto are "properly fixing generics" in your opinion?
I'm not saying about specifying build target per file.

I say when cmake file includes another cmake file, all variables are inherited, and in certain cases cmake file can define variable in outer cmake file scope.

Thus build files are dependent on each other. Inclusion order is important, and when project refactoring/restructuring, it's a common error, that resulting project is incorrect because for example, some file relied on the fact that when it is included, certain variables or macros are already set by someone else. This makes large project maintenance quite inconvenient. Especially because CMake does not guarantee that error will be revealed unless it is full clean rebuild.
I think its for good reason that “billionaire” and “landlord” are now bad words. It doesn't take a that much reading to see why the mere concept of a billionaire is horrible, for everyone. It is especially bad in context of wealth inequality and how many billionaire simply dont give back to the collective in any way and only horde mass amounts of wealth for themselves. It also requires only looking at the homeless statistic and the housing market to figure out that being a landlord is also pretty immoral, at least if you think that shelter and housing is a human right.
The economics for EV are there. But people still need a nudge in the right direction for the behavioral changes. Need to charge your car fully ahead of a long road trip. Need 20-30 minute pit stops during road trips.

People are still making enormously bad environmental decisions all based on the 1-4 road trips they’ll do per year.
This is one reason I'd love to be able to fully open it up. It's great to read code and see how things are done (or shouldn't be), but without it being playable it kind of comes and goes.

At this point with my game I'd be happy to have the whole damn thing up such that people could build and play it, and even make new levels if they wanted to. The long tail on my PC sales have dipped enough that any potential loss of income would be irrelevant to me because of the cool stuff people might come up with.

From what I've read, Lockheed Martin entered a partnership with Yakovlev and essentially funded the last few prototypes after state funding had dried up because of the Soviet Union collapse. Even if they didn't use the exact same engine configuration than the Yak-141 (it's pretty damn close though) I bet those 400 million dollars were well spent to get access to research the Russians had already done in the decade before (even if it just means not repeating the same errors).
The JRE show has very little in the realm of comedy, and is more driven by Joe's philosophical views and opinion than any semblance of comicality. If his show was generally a stand up routine I would not have the same critique or hold it to the same level of skepticism.
I think you've got that a bit reversed, trying to fix climate change with nuclear is a bit impossible at this point. We can't build it!

Why is this plant shutting down? Not because of some sort of hate of nuclear technology, as many would have us believe.

No, the real reason this plant is shutting down is because, like every other thermal generation plant, extending its lifetime past the original license means complying with environmental impact laws on waste heat. Once-through waste heat systems are no longer legal [1]. So why not just build a waste heat system and keep it running? Because when the utility tried to come up with one, the cost of the cooling system alone ran into the billions of dollars!

Much better to just by a few billion dollars worth of batteries and site them on location. At current costs, today, $1B gets you 5GWh at 1.25GW, roughly. The very cheapest estimate for a cooling system was $7B and they ran to over $10B for a new cooling system [2]. So even without the inevitable cost overruns, one could purchase 35-50GWh and 9-12GW of batteries.

A 40GWh/10GW battery would be a far better grid asset for California, and massive increase reliability far beyond what Diablo Canyon could ever produce.

When the mere cooling system for nuclear is more expensive than a better battery, the technology is dead, dead, dead. We don't need it and we have better alternatives.

How dare I have a different world view! I should be ashamed.
Well, no.

Imagine you stored all your stuff in a storage unit you didn't pay for, where the owner can show people round your stuff, but the owner surreptitiously takes photographs of people and what they are interested in. They then sell those photos to random people who then turn up at your house, your work, on the street, at your gym, in your supermarket and down the pub to try and sell you shit they know you're interested in. These people also sell those photos to a few hundred other such organisations.

Someone claims you stole their stuff, the owner of the building can't be arsed to investigate and tells you to gtfo.

That's the actual comparison.

Who would defend the guy borrowing the space? No-one. But then, if people found out their photos were being sold, they'd also be up in arms!

That's the reality, but somehow that's become the norm on the internet.
Books for adults aren't given narrow columns in the sense of a newspaper column, but they're absolutely typeset with attention paid to line length -- it's customary to aim for around 55–75 characters per line. On most displays, Wikipedia's lines are, by conventional typography standards, just too darn long.

How fascinating that we've never taken that approach to Influenza or any of the other dozens of entire classes of virus that can cause mortality.

The response to COVID-19 has been entirely divorced from reality. Unfortunately only a minority actually read the research and understand that.
Here's the other way to look at it, videos like this are becoming fairly rare comparatively, maybe 2-3 a year. They definitely used to be more common before. Considering the millions or creators you have, and even with the fact that only a small number of them would make a video like this and blow up, it still is surprising that it's happening so infrequently.

The thing is, for all we know, 99.99% of cases could be handled properly, and we wouldn't have a clue. We only get to see it when it goes wrong, and someone complains. But again, such complains at the very least have been decreasing, while Youtube itself is ever growing, so it looks like at least something is improving in here.
You're not impinging on the free speech of people when you push them off your platform, they are free to carry on spouting their repugnant shit if they want, it's just that they have to build their own site, or even just try talking to people on the street about it.

What you are doing when you allow racism or xenophobia on your site is helping them promote it. There's a difference, and the fact that you have chosen to stand with those people doesn't put you in the free speech group, it puts you in the "I am a racist" group.
Firefox already has code to determine your location, since it supports the Geolocation API for JavaScript (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Geolocation...). I’m not sure how Firefox implements it, but on a device without a GPS, programs could determine your location from the list of nearby Wi-Fi access points or from your IP address.
> $3-$4k sounds reasonable until you realize that you need to spend $25k on top of that to be able to use your $4k of panels.

I doubt it. I installed a ~2.5kW system in CA 4 years ago, and all in it was like $6500 after the tax credits. Panel prices have dropped 16% since then, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if now the same system were around $4k including installation after tax credits.
Hydrogen could be a major source of power in the late stages of the energy transition. Batteries are good for storing power for hours. Hydrogen can be stored for months, so can mitigate seasonal cycles and severe weather conditions.

But there's little point investing in long-term energy storage while there remains market opportunity in short term storage, which will still be the case in ten years.
> People can be perfectly healthy on a wide range of carbohydrate intake

Again, citation needed there. The recommendation of all major national and international dietetics associations (based on currently available peer-reviewed studies) is that a healthy diet should consist mostly of carbohydrates.

There certainly are "extreme" diets, but these seem to require at least a bit of genetic adaptation:

> "a new study[0] on Inuit in Greenland suggests that Arctic peoples evolved certain genetic adaptations that allow them to consume much higher amounts of fat than most other people around the world"

Years ago I took 6.828 at MIT which is an operating systems engineering course for which Xv6 was designed. The part I found most useful as a student was the fact that the entire operating system printed out into a nice slim volume. Many significant subroutines fit entirely on one page. To sum up the pedagogical value: Xv6 is an operating system made as simple as possible, but not simpler.

After this course I able to translate the skills to real world results in include a small contribution to the Linux kernel, as well as a significant non-public Linux kernel module. I can recommend studying the Xv6 source code and accompanying book to anyone, without reservation. It was a great privilege to have been able to take that class.

That's appreciated, thank you. I already have such an extension to redirect reddit to old.reddit. It works and I can somehow see why such a thing might be necessary for commercialized platforms such as reddit.

However, I'm suprised that this is neccessary for wikipedia. I guess it was more work to write the extension than to fix whatever is going on on wikipedias side. But then, on the other hand, maybe writing the extension and stop caring about what is going on on wikipedia is easier.
The real consideration is utility. Maybe you don't have the nicest car but, it offers the same utility as a premium vehicle. Now, that money saved can be used to acquire more utility than a vehicle provides alone. This is what I consider frugality because the cheapest option can result in a loss of utility when it doesn't fulfill it's purpose.

Saving money is great because it hopefully means you are purchasing the same utility without unnecessary overhead. Strangely enough, not enjoying a daily premium latte might be less frugal in the long run. You'd have to consider the utility of pleasure experienced over the years versus a few extra grand for your coffin.
It's possible, but the patches would be tied to a very specific version of the asset. Unity has made this easier recently by making asset store assets part of the package manager, but my stuff predates all of that.

The only exceptions are those who made fortunes via government monopolies, which is yet another example of why the State needs to have its power checked. Unrestrained capitalism is not the problem, crony capitalism is, and crony capitalism is a function of Statism.
