You raise some good points and there are likely many reasons for the total price of electricity production eg retailer margins, transmitters, age/quality of infrastructure, regulation at different tiers (state, federal, local), etc, in addition to the ones you raise.

But if you are factoring in total costs for nuclear, you also need to factor in the security risks and costs (eg terrorist threats to nuclear plants), costs to dispose of nuclear waste, inability to provide housing close to reactors, etc, as well.

Of course it would. But then there should be a process that identifies such pilot before they even get on the plane, there are two crew in the cockpit, so if one crewman does something unsafe or inappropriate, the other person is there to notice it, call it out and, in the extreme case, to take control of the plane.

Also, if the guy or gal has alcohol problems, it would likely be visible on their flying performance over time, it should be noticed during the periodic medicals, etc.

So while a drunk pilot could be the immediate cause of a crash, it is not the only one. If any of those other things I have mentioned functioned as designed (or were in place to start with - not all flying is airline flying!), the accident wouldn't have happened.

If you focus only on the "drunk pilot, case closed", you will never identify deficiencies you may have elsewhere and which have contributed to the problem.
I'd imagine the credit hit you get when the financing arm of Tesla does a hard inquiry when running your credit and then dropping your credit score is a pretty good deterrent for most finance literate people (credit score is sacred to many).
Due to high consumer taxes on electricity. Look at France. They did not pay for their nuclear power through consumer taxes but through general taxes hence the price looks low. Somebody else paid in other words. French taxes are higher than German taxes.

Germany is a poor example as it shut down perfectly fine nuclear power, thus incurring a cost on replacing it. UK has cut emissions more than Germany but had lower prices.
Get a good mic and record some tutorials, write some blogs, ask others to share etc. Be transparent with your future plans
those seem to be a minority thou
> France emits only 50 grams of CO2 per kWh while Germany emits 400 grams on average per kWh.

Yes because the other 50% is powered by coal.

>not the cheapest when you consider the costs for a conplete system

Same with nuclear and coal, you dont count the potential health problems (coal) and the 10000y storage prices for the waste (nuclear)
>Do you think building solar farms causes existing gas plants to collapse or something?

Yes it literally does. My employer has shuttered three out of their fleet of nine gas power stations because they are no longer peak competitive with batteries. And base load designs aren't competitive with solar since they are more expensive and will only be turned on during extreme events, like a snow storm, or an extremely hot night.

Sucks to be us when we need electricity during an extreme event though.
While I'm very sympathetic to "we accidentally nuked our prod DB" because, let's admit it: we've all been there at some point, I'm also a bit baffled here because I don't think that the problem lies with too much wine, Postgres permissions or scripts on localhosts but the fact that recreating a database by FIRST dropping all tables and THEN recreating them is like deliberately inviting those gremlins in.

But, as I said, that happens and blaming doesn't fix anything, so, for the future:

1. make a temporary backup of your database
2. create tables with new data
3. drop old tables
It's interesting - I clearly never encountered them the first time around, and to be quite honest when I discovered them alongside Camunda I found them pretty refreshing.
Reports estimate Tesla’s batteries cost them about ~$150/kWh; assuming they last ~1000 cycles, that’s a lifetime cost of $150/MWh.

That’s adding x7 over the “cheapest electricity in history” solar and x2.5 for the relatively expensive solar in Europe and the USA, definitely not x100.

And even that’s assuming you have to store all the energy before it gets used. Before I left the U.K., I had two different rates for energy depending on the time of day — cheaper at night because demand was lower.
Esperanto didn't choose anything, it being a language not a person. Zamenhof made a choice, but even he considered the alternatives back in the 1880s, albeit that he decided in the end that a balanced gender mechanism that had the masculine as a marked form was too foreign a concept to speakers of existing languages with unmarked and marked masculines, such as English.

In the more than a century and a quarter since, there have been efforts to fix this, as I said. Several of them are over four decades old at this point.

Use of the prefix "ge-" in the singular (giving "patro" for father, "patrino" for mother, and "gepatro" for parent of unspecified gender) goes back to the 1980s. This has in the decades since even that become mainstream enough that in the last 10 to 15 years "gepatro" is now in Esperanto dictionaries such as Wells's 2010 dictionary. Indeed, it made it into the Plena Ilustrita Vortaro by 2002.

* https://vortaro.net#gepatro_kd

The infix "-iĉ-" was another product of the 1970s/1980s. This gives "patro" for parent of unspecified gender, "patriĉo" for father, and "patrino" for mother. It's less mainstream than singular "ge-", but it was popular enough that Jorge Camacho used it in 1991. It's a more logical and consistent system than singular "ge-", but I suspect that resistance to it is partly rooted in the fact that the L1 languages of "Esperantistoj" do not in the majority have unmarked gender-neutrals and marked masculines for similar words. The claim is that it reinterprets a large corpus of existing past Esperanto works, but a counter to that claim is that similar things are currently happening with words like "actor" in English without similar objections.

And, finally, Ido reformed this all the way back in 1907. It went the marked masculine route (of Esperanto's "-iĉ-") with the infix "-ul-".

There is sometimes a single cause, but as the parent comment pointed out, that should never be the case and is a flaw in the system. We are gradually working towards single errors being correctable, but we're not there yet.

On the railways in Britain the failures were extensively documented. Years ago it was possible for a single failure to cause a loss. But over the years the systems have been patched and if you look at more recent incidents it is always a multitude of factors aligning that cause the loss. Sometimes it's amazing how precisely these individual elements have to align, but it's just probability.

As demonstrated by the article here, we are still in the stage where single failures can cause a loss. But it's a bit different because there is no single universal body regulating every computer system.
No you don’t because if you did, fossil fuels would not have been competitive at all.

And if solar isn’t cheaper is you are getting ripped off or you live in a cloudy place or far north.
Yeah, the US 2016 Presidential election. The losing side is so devastated by the loss, that it still can't accept that it's their own compatriots who didn't elect their rather questionable candidate, so they are desperately grasping any other explanation, why she lost.

Americans did the voting, not Putin. If $200k of ads did the job, well, Dems should have spent $201k to counter that.

Also, are you suggesting that any foreign power can cheaply puppeteer the feeble-minded US population? Of so, maybe you need some form of authoritarian rulership to protect the people. Or else, I'm sure, even Iran and North Korea will find a few million bucks to install their own presidents.
Standard in Finland. Our power and transmission pricing is separate. So you buy transmission from local monopoly and then can freely choose who you buy the power from. Which means that I and others who don't use electrical heating pay more for transmission than power itself. Priced on amperage for base cost and then some for per unit of power.

> The types of folks who are deeply affected by large governments having logs of their transactions are not the downtrodden masses

Those same masses don't care about cameras everywhere, they don't care about websites tracking them etc; they have no privacy concerns at all outside 'hope they cannot see me naked when in the shower' (which i'm not sure about with all the camera devices either though), so that's not a very good example imho.

I don't want the gov to see every transaction I make, but i'm not into trafficking, corruption or money laundering or whatever. It is not the govs business; it is their business to see how much money I get in and for me to pay taxes over that. They do not need details of anything unless i'm a suspected criminal. But there is the rub, in my opinion, they would need to prove I did something to warrant that, not blanket rules like AML over everything financial.

> The uptake for real transactions seems like it’s near zero.

Not sure, most my work (and many people I know, especially since covid) these days gets paid in crypto because it's international, fast, easy and there are no limits (unlike banks who start AML freezing stuff willy-nilly). I declare everything as income and outgoing business income/expenses. Works fine. It's fast and convenient for non-crime payments; I pay people with it as well. Especially for large amounts.

Also; I do not work in or with blockchain tech generally, but my clients started asking if they could pay in it this year (they also don't work in blockchain, but it's just far more convenient and faster and cheaper than SWIFT payments internationally).

I also see no use for it vs local banks; most banking transactions locally here are instant and simple, but international money is still very annoying and can take a long time (and, as we have seen, often bounces or stalls for no visible reason at all).
I think the short answer is that backpage.com possibly was protected by Section 230, but federal and state prosecutors kept on harassing them with a barrage of new lawsuits and charges until they found a court willing to say it wasn't protected, and the people running it just gave in and pled guilty in the end. With the site shut down and no end in sight they just didn't have the resources to fight it.

This sounds like you’re claiming your employer made electricity 10 to 100 times more expensive.

Parent is not advocating about going as strict with procedures as operating an airplane. Post is saying about "a bit of aviation safety culture" then it highlights a specific part that would be useful.

Safety culture element highlighted is: not blaming a single person but finding out how to prevent accident that happened from happening again. Which is reasonable because you don't want to impose some strict rules that are expensive up front. This way you just introduce measure to prevent same thing in the future, in the context of your project.

What's the security model behind this?

What rights are granted to the application's origin beyond what an ordinary website has in a browser? Obviously you want to grant some additional rights, but I'd prefer to grant it only the minimum necessary for my application.

Are third party origins granted special rights beyond what an ordinary website has in a browser? Embedding or redirecting to untrusted websites should be safe. Is it possible to block loading external content except from whitelisted origins?
Looked through a bunch of the authors project, cool/funny stuff, keep it up.

A couple things;

- The project (and others) need more clear calls to action or goals. Reading the different pages made me think a bunch but I had no idea on what to do.

- Maybe, the Stealth browser is not meant for everyone. Maybe just a community of people use the browser and contribute to your goal of decentralized semantic data.

I’m sorry, but this really hasn’t been my experience at all in web technology or managing on-prem systems either.

I used to be extremely fearful of making mistakes, and used to work in a zero-tolerance fear culture. My experience and the experience of my teammates on the DevOps team? We did everything manually and slowly because we couldn’t see past our own fear to think creatively on how to automate away errors. And yes, we still made errors doing everything carefully, with a second set of eyes, late night deployments, backups taken, etc.

Once our leadership at the time changed to espouse a culture of learning from a mistake and not being afraid to make one as long as you can recover and improve something, we reduced a lot of risk and actually automated away a lot of errors we typically made which were caused initially by fear culture.

Just my two cents.

I'd argue there's no direct correlation. There are societies with lesser regard for rationality doing just fine too. Several countries not in "the path of the storm" can claim credit for anything they did and didn't do as having stopped covid to the point of superstition. Id credit Germans' preference of beer just as much as their February/March response or their penchant for rationality. It's a form of collective survivorship bias. There are several cases of countries next to each other with no particular great early response having vastly different outcomes. Rational, educated populace doesnt explain away the difference between Italy vs Austria, Belgium & Netherlands vs Germany, the US vs Canada, etc. It's too early to gloat and take digs at the US. Were all countries at equal risk of exposure, or were the US, Italy, and other more severely affected countries already major travel hubs for people coming from early affected regions? Some countries have turned "flatten the curve" into "nobody should ever get a fever again" and have gone to great lengths to make that happen but I doubt the temporary security is worth the "emergency powers" theyve given their leaders.

Most wealthy countries are weathering corona quite decently, with woman-led countries being in the lead (e.g. NZ, Germany).

The most notable exceptions are the US, Brazil, UK and Turkey - these four countries have one thing in common: far-right populist "strongmen" in power who are unable to find a line between the demands of medical/epidemiological expertise and their self interests.
Brazil and Turkey come to my mind.
You could have installed a so called caching resolver on the clients and configure that to almost instantly failover, like the other systems you mentioned. Not some monster like BIND. At least that worked well for me, though not in combination with AD, which I simply haven't tried. But I think that would work also, because why not?

@home I used pdnsd, MaraDNS and dnsmasq in the past which did that trick for me, where dnsmasq was the best performing solution, though not the most convenient, that would have been MaraDNS, and pdnsd today seems ancient and bitrotten.

Anyways, Linux is like Lego, and you prefer already assembled kits. Which is understandable. Anything else is delusional, like starry eyed preachers on some street corner in downtown, promising whatever and the one true faith.

They were, until the owners of backpage started giving advice to child traffickers about how to continue advertising.

A child trafficker would place an ad featuring an image of child sexual abuse, with wording that gave coded hints that this was a child. "Amber Alert!"

Backpage would strip out that coded language and run the ad, with the image of child sexual abuse.

Sometimes those children would, after they'd been rescued, recognise themselves in the ads and ask backpage to take the ads down. Backpage refused.

Having worked in F1 can confirm. We even simulated the various aspects, engine, gearbox, vehicle (aerodynamics, breaks, tires, ...) and driver independently. So you can answer the question when you place this driver (the AI driver) into this model, what the difference would be. But normally this question is moot as you test the most important aspects, which are now the engine and aerodynamics.

But don't forget, some drivers are excellent engineers by themselves, which was ie critical for Ferrari to get proper feedback from testing to R&D. In older times they didn't have simulators as everyone else, they always tested in real conditions on their home track Maranello. Or look at Niki Lauda's famous feedback and analysis qualities. You don't get that just from engineering.

Another important aspect: budget. Money can buy better simulation and engineering, which you cannot really compete with. That's why it needs to be so heavily regulated.
Rabid solar advocates have been lying about it being cheaper than the alternatives for so long it is a bit unsettling seeing the claim from credible sources.

But this is a significant change - Germany, from what I recall, moved to solar when it was more expensive and less reliable than their existing situation. In future, people moving to solar will get cheaper and less reliable.

That is a very different situation. There is incentive to take the less reliable power now. Uses will be found for it. I'm happy to make changes to my lifestyle if it saves me a bunch of money, and industrial consumers will start to adapt over a decade if the incentives line up.

It won't be the end of reliable power generation, but if it is economically sensible then the options will be explored deeply.
That sounds like it was priced higher than you cared to pay.

I don’t find Ferraris unfairly priced; I just don’t buy them because they are too high priced for my preferences.

Actually you need to look at both. IFR shows you how dangerous the disease is once you contract it. The yearly fatality rates shows how much risk you have from the disease in a given year. Covid is much more contagious than flu - so there is bigger risk that you will contract it eventually, but once contracted it might be not much worse.

We still don't have comparable stats on that - even for flu the stats are really all over the place: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3809029
"""
There is very substantial heterogeneity in published estimates of case fatality risk for H1N1pdm09, ranging from <1 to >10,000 per 100,000 infections (Figure 3). Large differences were associated with the choice of case definition (denominator). Because influenza virus infections are typically mild and self-limiting, and a substantial proportion of infections are subclinical and do not require medical attention, it is challenging to enumerate all symptomatic cases or infections.2, 45 In 2009, some of the earliest available information on fatality risk was provided by estimates based primarily on confirmed cases. However, because most H1N1pdm09 infections were not laboratory-confirmed, the estimates based on confirmed cases were up to 500 times higher than those based on symptomatic cases or infections (Figure 3). The consequent uncertainty about the case fatality risk and hence about the severity of H1N1pdm09 was problematic for risk assessment and risk communication during the period when many decisions about control and mitigation measures were being made.

I’m not talking about fear culture. It’s a more personal thing. Call it risk management culture if that helps which is the inverse.

Manual is wrong for a start. That would increase the probability of making a mistake and thus increase risk for example. The mitigations are automation, review and testing.

I agree with you. Perhaps fear was the wrong term. I treat it as my personal guide to how uneasy i feel about something on the quality front.
