Fusion blankets are not just needed for fusion to work, they are needed for the next fusion reactor experiment (the one that has a burning plasma) to run. This is not a technology that we'll need some day for commercialization; it's a requirement for DT fusion to progress at all.

For me, emacs is also 2 keystrokes away and starts instantly (as long as the daemon is already running). Doom emacs has sane (good!) defaults.

My main valid gripe with emacs is the slow rendering engine.

>This is obviously due to lack of volunteers, or their volunteers have limited areas of interest, which is totally understandable. But I think some basic automatic systems to at least add the new releases from major labels is needed for such database.

They don't exist. Look at SoundExchange, the US organization that handles music royalties from streaming. They don't even have complete records on the releases for which they collect money! You're talking about a myriad of Hollywood-accounting companies (if that) that were fired up and dismantled willy-nilly, for decades.

Oh, that Japanese label that put out two 45s in 1962...where would that be recorded except in the collections of music fans who own them? That's what Discogs is based on. You want those records to be in the database? Buy them and put them in. The fact that you don't is what you're describing as "limited areas of interest."
They have been as accurate as can be. Most suggested a tight race.

By leaving the door ajar for surprises, 538, for example, used their smart algorithms to tweak their projection. I have not been disappointed by their rhetoric either.
I use a local credit union, and have for 20+ years. What problems do people run into while traveling? I've been to a few other countries and never had problems.
Good thing we don't have "assistants" at home that listen to everything we say and pipe it off to a datacenter somewhere, where it can be analyzed for "problematic" speech and alert the relevant authorities.

Not every sort-of-Vim implementation (ofc). I use vis¹, which has the classic cw, but the consistent Y.

And I prefer it the vis way. cw is a binding I use often, and more pleasant to type than ce. yy I also use fairly frequently, but Y is not much more pleasant, and y$ is much less pleasant, and I copy from the cursor to the line end often enough to want it to be easy, quick, and feel nice.

I'm sure there are mistakes and errors during any election. In the end it probably ends up being a non-factor. While wondering about the election results validity is a valid and good question, if you are suggesting maybe the polls are correct but the voting results are wrong, I find that nearly impossible.

There are so many ways a pollster could go wrong. Sample Size, Push Polling, Shy Voters, Poor Question, Poorly Trained Survey Collectors, and on and on.

With voting it's basically did we count it right.
I'm curious why you'd characterize firecracker as a toy?
Discogs also contains digital releases.
Yeah, we're going to address this. A/B tests and metrics guided us to this (it converts better), and I don't know why the minimal-information thing has worked well for us, maybe it forces people to try it out. I think some of it has to do with the fact that most of it is just word of mouth, and probably our attempts at more information weren't well done.

We're working on building a library of examples with video and interactive documents that people can play with and find from the home page.
Thank you! I said this on Reddit just a few days ago and got downvoted for it. Specifically, I said that karma was an element of gamification. Of course, they did not like that. :P
Same here, though I never really paid attention to birds until my uncle bought me the field guide for some random reason when I was like 7.

From just thumbing through it a few times, I started recognizing birds outside which made me thumb through it more. I didn't have TV or video games back then so most of my after school time turned into thumbing through the book. I had alot of it memorized within a year it seemed.

From then on, any family trip to a new territory, I could name any birds that I hadn't seen in person before, or if nothing else, could quickly look it up.

> But shouldn't the anger be directed to the people who did the bullying?

Yes, but bear in mind the world does not necessarily pity the bullied. When it happened to me and my friends in school, we were shunned and snickered at by seemingly "everyone" at the time, girls especially. Teachers didn't care either.
Since a fusion or fission reactor is a source of thermal energy, and the power density there does not include the volume of external heat exchangers or turbines, the proper comparison is to the COMBUSTOR of a gas turbine. Gas turbine combustors have thermal power densities of 100 MW/m^3 or higher, some five times the power density of a PWR primary reactor vessel and 2000x the power density of ITER.

Gas turbines also have large advantages in the rest of the plant, though. Fusion plants or PWRs will require at least two sets of heat exchangers (one for transfering heat to the external cooling water, and one for isolating the nuclear coolant from the fluid going through the turbines). Simple cycle gas turbines (without regeneration) don't require any heat exchangers, and combined cycle plants get most of their power from the topping cycle, so the heat exchangers on the bottoming cycle are smaller.

The cost of a simple cycle turbine power plant is around $400/W, maybe 5% of the capital cost of a fission power plant.
> I thought the difference between Medicare advantage type plans is that it is an HMO type of deal where you can't pick your own specialized treatment centers and have to jump through a lot of hoops for complex medical issues and drugs as opposed to original PPO resembling Medicare (80% costs) + medigap part F? (remaining 20%) + part D for drugs.

Nope, Medicare Advantage plans are usually just PPO plans on a nationwide insurance marketplace that covers the Part A, Part B, and Part D benefits. By default, "Original Medicare" is just a government run version of that which only covers Parts A and B. That plan is also not "free", per se, as the beneficiaries still have to pay a monthly premium — it's just that the monthly premium covers Part B benefits, and Part A benefits are all covered by FICA taxes. I think(?) there are also some HMO MA plans. Seniors are now on average choosing Medicare Advantage instead of "Original Medicare" more often because they happen to like the varieties/options. If you don't care about those options, you're still entitled to Original Medicare just like you did with your parents.

The closest the tech community has probably gotten to Medicare Advantage, as a concept, is Chamath's recent SPAC taking Clover Health public. They're an up and coming MAdv payer, and appear to be growing pretty quickly. Oscar Health, another hip tech company, has a big Medicare Advantage business as well.
I liked the models as it was easier to see the building than a 2d image. Do you have any links to the model plus writing accompanying the model. Preferably written by the architect? It seems famous architects always sell their models in a really expensive coffee table book.

The moral benefit comes from not farming animals to only use their fur. It's cruel and wasteful, and we have synthetic fur that's actually better than the real thing for warmth. The reason real fur is still used is because it's cheaper, which should tell you a lot about the conditions the animals are farmed in.
Are the areas with the cheap houses walkable destinations in their own right or mainly residential communities with a subway stop that can get you to the action?

Chicago was the example that most came to mind as something with cheaper houses and transit, but without knowing it very well my sense from talking to people is that there is a lot of cheap housing in Chicago but living in the urban core isn't necessarily cheap.

This is an important question. Are there legitimate positive usecases, either currently or more likely usecases we may never find out about because of bans like this?

One answer to the question is that this is a benefit of federalism. Small states (as opposed to a large country) can experiment and other states can learn from it, whether it's a disaster or not. Just like Oregon decriminalizing hard drugs.

The other side of this is the problem of how outright prohibitions often stick around for far longer than they should, even with plenty of evidence of it being more harmful than good (drug war being the obvious one but there's plenty of harmful regulations written in prior eras where it doesn't make sense).

Again this is where federalism and smaller states may help because it's easier to change the law than end the drug war and all the entrenched interests.

If it was a federal level ban I would be angry about the implications for sure. Now I'm skeptical but also don't really care because I don't know of any positive uses but I do know my local police here in Toronto are already using facial recognition and it scares the shit out of me.

But maaaybe something like in prisons it could be helpful. IDK, much about the subject.

> Contemporary society puts much more effort and individual attention toward raising individual kids then majority of past societies used to. The "kids raise each other" complain is very modern, precisely because we expect more from childraising.

Not really. If you go back a century or two, that might be true. Parents went off to the office, and the kids were left to their own devices. Often, herded together with tens/hundreds of other kids, with less adult supervision than today.

But if you go back many thousands of years to tribal societies, it's the opposite. Caveman kids spent most of their life around adults, and a handful of other kids. It's the equivalent of going to the neighborhood bbq, where there's a wide variety of adults and youths hanging out. Packing hundreds of kids into a confined place with 1 adult for every 30 kids... that is a very modern phenomenon.
In some cases, they do make different cars for different states if the market is large enough. The fiat 500e for example is only sold in CA and OR.
For a language with richer semantics (i.e. a string type with built-in operators instead add-on libraries implemented at a lower semantic level), the compiler has a better idea of what we are trying to do. If we only have a minimal RISC instruction set, it can generate a large batch of RISC instructions. If we have a wizard SIMD instruction to speed things up, we have a higher likelihood of being able to put it to use.

For languages of a lower semantic level (just a wrapper over loads, stores, and arithmetic), making a compiler that can figure out whether the source is a good candidate for a particular hardware feature can be an intractable problem.

Fusion and fission plants will be similar outside the nuclear island. So if you take a small fission reactor, and replace it with a much larger, much more complex, fusion reactor, you're going to increase the cost of your power plant.

I had a relatively normal life, working a job in tech and keeping up a stable relationship with my girlfriend while also using heroin every day. Of course I would rather have not been going down to the Mission every morning to procure the stuff. The lifestyle that accompanied the illicit use was ultimately the problem for me, not the use of the substance itself.

Thousands of people are high functioning and doctor-prescribed amphetamine users (Adderall) in this country and we don't bat an eye. As soon as you call it "meth" people get weird about it.

The black A was the text tool, the blue A was the measure tool.

That's just how my brain works.

I live in small gated cul-de-sac of duplex houses. In all, there are 20 units where everyone knows each other. Two weeks ago my landlord decided to install a pair of bright LED spotlights on the top of my unit which shine down into the grassy courtyard and illuminate what once felt like a quiet peaceful reprieve from the noisy street on the other side of the tree-line that divides our complex from the rest of the neighborhood.

I hate it. Hate hate hate HATE it. I used to enjoy sitting on my stoop in the still evening and listen to the ambient noise. Now what was once a dark, peaceful courtyard is lit up like a parking lot. When I close the blinds on my windows I can still see the light creeping around the edges. I sigh every time I look out them night.

I immediately made my dissatisfaction known, but as far as I know I'm the only one who cares. All I got from my landlord was some vague response that someone didn't like the darkness. I don't know why. I've been living here for three years and nobody has complained. Now when I lay in bed at night the ambient light bounces off of the fence outside my rear windows and into my bedroom.

I have no idea how to go about convincing my landlord to remove these or dim them considerably without being a huge pain in the ass. That may be what it takes. I just signed a new lease for my place and now I have to live with this. Anyone have thoughts?

This article is very poor in that it has no real argument as for why it's bad. Here's what it asserts:

- We don't care about the speed of the results. That is trivially false, everyone is following the reporting, Trump is out there saying he won, people question the delays and suggest they may give time for bad actors to rig the vote.

- It's too expensive - There is no backing to this claim except "it systems routinely go over budget"

- It disregards secrecy as important - secrecy is a vital part of an election process. It allows people to freely have any opinion they want without consequence or fear of people forcing them to vote for someone else (violence or other).

- Accessibility - I'm not sure how they can assert that we can't make e voting accessible?

EDIT: For those downvoting, please do provide a reason why you disagree with what I said. Is any argument in that article actually strong?
That assumes the person in question is moving from relationship to relationship quickly, as opposed to more common pattern of long stretches of time with no relationship.

> Anyone could always be doing more but doing anything beats doing nothing at all.

That's a common misconception though.

US top the charts for meat consumption in the World, Kenya and Uganda are at the bottom.

Does it mean Kenya and Uganda are doing more than US?

I'm asking, because I don't have the answer, but I don't think that farming animals for fur amounts to some significant number and stopping it would change the situation in a meaningful way.

Energy consumption for example is a good indicator of lifestyle.

Norway consumes 3 times on average the average amount of energy consumed by all the other European countries.

Does that mean they are doing three times less than the average EU country?

Oil stayed with us because it's a very dense and easy to transport energy source.

You can' t transport wind or sun, you could use batteries, but they are not as dense and not as easy to stock pile.

Inertia, if you look closely, it's just another world for "lack of equally good alternatives".

The lack of durable clothing is not a direct consequence of not using vegetable materials, hemp has been used for millenia, what changed is that we buy a lot more clothes and recycle/reuse very little of them.

Because, mainly, they go out of fashion!

I believe the way we live has a much bigger impact than anything else and in that regard, even if I would never buy a fur for obvious reasons, I think fur farming is not the worst offender.
