Good for you that that policy wouldn't affect you. That's not the case for a lot of people with the infringement on their freedom of movement.
It's a widespread problem in science:

https://www.nature.com/news/1-500-scientists-lift-the-lid-on...

A domain where results are easily reproducible is settled science, and not what people are researching anymore. Every field moves on till they get stuck on problem areas that hinder progress. Kind of a Peter principle for research. And what's worse, bad studies act as a hindrance since they make an unsolved question look like settled science, and you can't get support for pursuing a competing hypothesis.

And epidemiology seems really complex to me. Every person is unique in many ways and behaving based on effects stretching back over their entire lives.
The point is that if you take responsibility then you're taking pride in your work, are invested in it and willing to invest in self-improvement and introspection rather than doing the minimum to get to a minimum viable solution. The outcome of this is an increase in quality and a decrease in risk.
Not sure why you were getting downvoted, maybe people are not reading the article. It clearly talks about them photographing these poles, and in one sentence the artist discusses using the iPhone to do it.
The idea of buildings having cancer is pretty awesome in its own terms.
IPhone alternatives include LG dishwashers. Good job guys.
To be fair he could, and least in theory - he could get someone else to do development, for money or equity, for the project and do something else himself.
If you could work a $4/hour summer job and save up for college that way like you used to, I'm sure people would be queueing up to do it.

I know, this only holds for some interpretations of "you" and "used" to, but it wasn't that unheard of a generation or two ago.
If 5g isn't meant for the benefit of consumers I wonder why it's being pushed at consumers so hard.
Wow! This sounds like a nightmare and honestly very disrespectful. I have nothing to show for since I keep my presence on the internet to a minimal. I guess i will be denied an account in a manner worse than you(This may sound like a knee-jerk reaction. However, it is one of the many possibilities and I am rather willing to be pessimistic than optimistic).

On the personal side, here is an hug(or a professional equivalent if you prefer that) to you stranger. I hope you have a great day.
"The Checklist Manifesto", by Atul Gawande, dives into how they looked at other sectors such as aviation to improve healthcare systems, reduce infections, etc. Interesting book.
Yeah, the problem is not that it's javascript per se, it's that it's a quirk. FCVTZS would have been just fine.
I would say SICP since it's an introductory course and explains the concepts using Scheme, not CL.
> Hydro 63.6 39%

Switzerland, the country I live in, also has a ton of hydro (60% [0]) but the thing about hydro is that it's entirely dependent on geography. Iceland has 100% renewable electricity [1] but that's due to its geography.

Same goes for all renewables. Wind depends on areas where wind is harvestable and solar depends on daylight hours.

Not saying this to say that you're wrong or your point is irrelevant or anything, just that the energy solutions applicable to one country don't apply to all.

> You got more renewable usage in Europe and more stable grids than the US.

Usage and production are two different things. You can produce more energy than you need and have a stable grid by just throwing money at the problem. In 2016, you had EEX spot prices around 2-3 ct/kWh, below the production cost of any technology. This signals waste and it's also a major reason why renewables rollouts stalled in Europe.
My elbow hasn't complained so far.
Certifications are a bit wasteful in Europe. It's better to spend your time on other things.
Why are you equating the response of the UK to Brazil or the USA? The UK locked down for months on end, and continues to lockdown areas depending on infection rates. To me, a Briton, the description of Johnson as "far right" is bizarre -- he's about as "far right" as Harold Macmillan.
I guess that depends on many factors. It's not that difficult to earn a few hundred dollars a month by writing on Medium. For engineers living in SF, probably not worth the time. For software engineers living in Portugal earning ~1200$ a month, probably worth the time.
Yes, but i think you don't have the orders of magnitude here. The image showed in the article [0] doesn't separate the different energi use making it look like the NRE have more impact that they really have. You might want to look a that instead [1]. In reality solar accounted for less than a percent of used power in 2016.

From wikipedia [2]:

```Worldwide growth of photovoltaics is extremely dynamic and varies strongly by country. As of 2020, there are at least 37 countries around the world with a cumulative PV capacity of more than one gigawatt. By the end of 2019, a cumulative amount of 629 GW of solar power was installed throughout the world.[2] By early 2020, the leading country for solar power was China with 208 GW,[3][4] accounting for one-third of global installed solar capacity. By the end of 2016, cumulative photovoltaic capacity increased by more than 75 gigawatt (GW) and reached at least 303 GW, sufficient to supply approximately 1.8 percent of the world's total electricity consumption.```

So the installed power in 2016 is at least 303 GW. Let's check how much it produce (and btw, solar is not like wind or water and can't easely be disconnected from the grid, at least for large solar farms, so broadly: solar power generated = solar power used).

According by ourworldindata [3], 328.2 TWh in 2016 and 724 in 2019, so it roughly double every two years. That's the good news.

And the cost have nothing to do with this. The bottlneck is twofold: the installation (peopl trained to instal the solar
panels as well as the land usage, and the other one is the production. That can keep doubling every other year, but one thing won't, and that the mines. The growth decline already started for wind power generation because of the first bottleneck (the demand don't follow the offers), i'm afraid the second one will limit the solar panel usage.

I've read that installed solar was 3% of installed electricity in 2019, so roughly .3% of electricity used. Electricity generation is 1/3 of our GHG emissions, and we need to limit those to 0 by 2050, or at least by 2070. This is not hte way. It will help, but this is not the way.

I did argue, in my original comment, that drunk driving should not be an option. I certainly stand by that. My original comment also mentioned a taxi, to which you replied about ambulances.

In my previous comment I just meant that sometimes ambulances can take a good while and a taxi might not.

In the unfortunate case of the trampoline there were several sober people with driver's license and cars available and a taxi would have been there immediately.

Unfortunately,they failed to get me out of there, meaning I still had to wait until an ambulance was available. It was beyond painful and exhausting both physically and mentally. But it was still technically not an emergency.

That site has build info.
And as a result of that incident the procedures have changed, now a cabin crew member (or relief pilot in long haul ops) joins the other pilot in the cockpit if one has to go to the bathroom.

A similar procedure already exists for controlled rest in oceanic cruise flight at certain times, using the cabin crew to ensure the remaining pilot was checked to be awake every 20 minutes.
Depends on the cert how valuable it is. Some of the RedHat exams are very much respected in the industry and give the credentialized person a lot of options on where and what they work on.
> they didn't get it as much last spring; they're getting it now

That are lives saved. The more knowledge we have about the disease the easier is to treat it. Also, that measure has extended the lives of all the people that would have died months ago.

Gaining time has a lot of value.

> Sweden did; they're doing fine, and are basically over with it

No. A second wave is starting in Sweden. And, the father of a colleague died of Covid19, that is not "doing fine".

Sweden has had mixed results because has applied non-strong measures. Most companies are working remotely and there are strong safety nets for people to stay home if they feel sick. Even with that, it has been far from perfect, and it is far from over.
You will not see the expected changes and stepping through will jump around erratically. Often you will be unable to print the value of a variable because it has been optimised out.

I think that it's a bit of a shame that you are being downvoted, since the point that (I think) you are making is valid.

Namely you need to look at the total cost of manufacture, especially with respect to the environment and/or CO₂ impacts.

This process, excluding inputs, has a lower CO₂ impact than traditional concrete. It also, currently at least, produces a less useful concrete, as it isn't as strong.

The question is what is the net environmental and CO₂ impact when you also include the inputs.

One area where this new process has a positive impact:
* No need for virgin river sand, although it is unclear if desert sand could be used. At least this would be a good way to "recycle" concrete, which is notoriously hard to re-use.

One area where it has a negative impact:
* This concrete is no longer vegan friendly. Although to be fair, many plantation woods are not strictly vegan either, since may plantations directly lead to a lowering of biodiversity and/or loss of animal habitat. Sand mining is also typically not "victimless".
* Requires a more diverse input/supply chain. Although the article doesn't really go into the impacts of this, so it's hard to estimate how bad this is. For example, do we need a kg of gelatine per kg of concrete, or per tonne of concrete?
> was seized by the Venezuelan government

I don't see it in the article.

Even so, if a multinational is extracting resources from a country, I'd consider seizure of assets fair game, unless shown otherwise. It's not as if the companies are morally impeccable, poor countries rights and laws respected or even the international treaties fair.
It's part of the Human Performance subject in getting an ATPL (airline license), it was one of the subjects that I didn't hate as much when studying. You can probably just buy the book on Amazon, they're quite accessible.

And bizarrely tells you what the non-American answer is in the second last paragraph (sensible regulation of the grid), and then dismisses this out of hand and supports a weird socialist planned-economy solution that only seems popular with American libertarians.
So you don't know about his endorsement for #SomosTodosBolsonaro and the "fuck you day" and that "in an April rally also attended by Bolsonaro, demonstrators called on Sunday for the closing of the Supreme Court and Congress, and a return to authoritarian measures used during Brazil’s 1964-1985 military government"?

You don't know that he "ordered the country’s armed forces to commemorate the anniversary of the 1964 coup which brought the military to power."?

You don't know about his interference with justice and when Moro presented testimony about it Bolsonaro tweeted that he was "a traitor, a Juda"?

You don't know that "As Bolsonaro’s relationship with legislators and the courts has cooled, he has become increasingly dependent on a cadre of advisers in his government who are active or former military"?

You don't know that in a Facebook live he said “We have the armed forces at the people’s side: the side of order, democracy, liberty,”?

You really don't know any of this?

Tell me. if you can, when in France or Germany the President attended a far right rally where they hoped to return to the nazi period...
Mmm, true, i meant that in Gen3+ the meltdown was manageable for any civilisation, but in any case, if a meltdown happen in a Gen3 or Gen3+, it will be caused by malice and a lot of neglect, and not by accident.

Still, Gen3+ and their core catchers are overengineered and i think are not worth the additional cost in GHG.

I hear this a lot and hence have the same feeling about node/electron but is there actually anything of substance when it comes to the lack security of Node/Electron apps? Honestly curious.
The problemen with dual booting is that it is a barrier. Takes a few minutes or so (don't forget the update avalanche if you havnt booted into your Windows partition for a while, and steam+games itself).

With Proton I finally fully switched, I can play at least half of my games, any time I want. Its great.

That’s a really interesting point about teachers.

Their productivity has improved when you think about it more broadly. They are sharing information that improves the baseline productivity rate of society, and are therefore part of the productivity engine.
There's also no limit on speeds inside Moldova (or hasn't been for a long time), so you could basically treat all of Moldova as a giant LAN party (as more and more communities got access to broadband). I remember my Windows box couldn't even cope with the download speeds and would freeze for some large downloads.
I personally know lobbyists and this is simply not what's happening, at least not in my home country in Europe. Lobbyists will mainly explain the industries standpoint towards new parliamentary initiatives and how it will impact them.

But in my home country those accusations in the article would definitely be one of the biggest political scandals of the year while in the US it's apparently not very noteworthy at all. So maybe I'm simply missing the US perspective on this.
Wow - "...invest in self-improvement and introspection.."

This is a 190 MWe molten salt reactor built by Terrestrial Energy [1] that seems seems bigger than the three core use cases for Small Modular Reactors (SMR) as outlined in the article:

1. Helping utilities replace energy capacity lost to closures of coal fired power plants.

2. Providing power and heat to off-grid industrial projects such as mines and oilsands developments.

3. Replacing diesel fuel as a source of energy and heat in remote communities.

The size seems to fit between off-grid diesel and modern natural gas plants. Since it is unlikely to be cost competitive with natural gas in Canada, a fourth use case emerges: meet zero-emissions requirements in jurisdictions not suitable for wind and solar.

Are you sure it was the production database that was affected?

If you are not sure how a hard coded script that was targeting localhost affected a production database, how do you know you were even viewing the production database as the one dropped?

Maybe you were simply connected to the wrong database server?

I’ve done that many times - where I had an initial “oh no“ moment and then realized I was just looking at the wrong thing, and everything was ok.

I’ve also accidentally deployed a client website with the wrong connection string and it was quite confusing.

In an even more extreme case: I had been deploying a serverless stack to the entirely wrong aws account - I thought I was using an aws named profile and I was actually using the default (which changed when I got a new desktop system). I.e. aws cli uses —profile flag, but serverless cli uses —aws-profile flag. (Thankfully this all happened during development.)

I now have deleted default profiles from my aws config.
Java is in the top 5 in the energy usage chart. It's only at the bottom of the memory usage chart (this was expected).
That's how all those Russian oligarchs got rich. Borrow from the government (corrupt, of course), buy a factory, then a year later return pennies on the dollar. The ruble was falling so fast retail prices had to be updated twice a day for a while.
yes, ironically there are times when we actually want to preserve the formatting. I tried and jumped vice-versa. For me, at least 2-3 days are needed to get used to something new.
It’s entirely possible that the results/education curve is log/log complex, and that therefore because human biology is so complex and we know relatively so little, it doesn’t matter too much how trained the person working on you is (on average) past some baseline that might be lower than expected.

I think my point is probably being misunderstood and that is my fault for explaining it poorly. See I fucked up :)

The fear I speak of is a personal barrier which is lacking in a lot of people. They can sleep quite happily at night knowing they did a shitty job and it's going to explode down the line. It's not their problem. They don't care.

I can't do that. Even if there are no direct consequences for me.

This is not because I am threatened but because I have some personal and professionals standards.

Extra safety features are worth it if they allow the overall expensive "nuclear culture" to be relaxed. Otherwise, it's just rearranging deck chairs on an economic Titanic.

Having said that: even a contained meltdown is devastating for the utility. The owner of TMI was gravely wounded by the cost of that accident.
You will never get the market prices from the electricity exchange.

In particular, those prices aren’t stable and are often negative or soar up to 4000 Euros per MWh in Germany.

Please, for the sake of an honest discussion, look at the actual data in Germany.

And, no, there is neither a strong fossile nor nuclear lobby in Germany. The renewables lobby is - by far - the strongest lobby as the overwhelming majority in Germany supports renewables.

Germany has already invested more than 500 billion Euros for the transition to renewables and we are still among the dirtiest electricity producers and we are still building new fossile plants.

100% renewables based on wind and solar does not work and will never work on a large scale.

> who learned the local languages, respected local cultural nuances and customs

The US is the only country who requires every single Foreign service officer to learn the local language before being stationed in a country.

The Foreign Service Language institute is the most prestigious language school in the world.

US foreign policy has plenty of problems, but leaning the local culture and language is not one of them.

The Foreign Service and our embassies and consulates are on of the shinning successes of US foreign policy (among many failures).

A 100 years ago Americans had live in servants/slaves in about half of households (like what you see in parts of India, Asia, etc.).

As income inequality decreases, there are fewer servants in the home 24/7. Society has a transition as rates of abject poverty decrease. It will be interesting to witness the transition in Asia as they go through this.
