> The RBMK-1500 in the now decommissioned Ignalina Power Plant wasn't built near a big city, unlike the Belarusian power plant.

So they need to hold in case of accident at the Belarus nuclear plant but it was fine for their own plant in their own country?

> didn't invest into natural gas -- this is just factually not true. Elektrenai Power Plant was modernized as a strategic "backup" power plant, but the overall capacity was not expanded.

So no money was invested into the power plant but somehow it got upgraded for free?
"Soars" is a bit of a stretch. Both the y-axis and x-axis scales on the RHS chart seem misleading.

I’m no economist so I don’t claim to fully understand everything involved here. But one thing worth pointing out is that, when talking about the world as a whole, increasing debt can be the sign of positive developments. People are going to be more willing to lend money for longer time horizons in a society that’s more stable and secure. You don’t take a 25 year loan to build a shopping center in the middle of a civil war.

A fun way to play with mindfulness in the urban world is to try and spot Thomssons. These are parts of buildings or pieces of infrastructure that are relics of a past use. A good example is a door that's too high to access, because there's no longer a staircase to it. That's an easy one, but also find things like inaccessible mailboxes, railings for no reason, utility poles with no utilities.

It's fun because it gets you paying attention to buildings you pass by every day, and you also get to think about the world around you in the context of the bigger time picture it is all part of. We can sometimes forget that things around us have often existed for longer than we've each existed.
I assume the accusation is that Musk has a Twitter account where the tweets get replicated to the business section of most media outlets globally at the moment.

He also has a history of dropping financial information through Twitter (the taking Tesla private tweet). Plus the rabid groupies stacked with Crypto fans.

The Dollar debt denominated system either blows up taking down American hegemony with it or the Fed, et al. manages to inflate its way out of the debt and America prospers while the rest of the world lags behind. Given that the two other centers of power (EU and China) are as inimical towards each other as China is to the US, I doubt a non-Dollar alternative springs up any time soon. I wouldn't start betting against America any time soon.

The Case for Default Insurance
There is a cohort of astronomers that don't want earths orbit filled with humans. It's sort of a naturalistic argument, effectively that they will lose their ability to take photos of what they want. On the margin, it's good for people like SpaceX to try and do what they can to minimize negative externalities.

But I think that we as a race should not cater to them for a few reasons:

1) there is no precident for "owning" the sky above you to infinity, it's an odd position legally

2) there is another cohort of people that want to expand consciousness who are impeded by this NIMOP (Not In My Orbital Plane) crowd. We can fit a quadrillion humans comfortably on rotating space habitats. This seems like a better goal under most moral systems than retaining the right to take pretty pictures.

3) any loss of "science" due to the loss of ground based sensors would be more than offset by having a robust space presence.

> Equity is what builds wealth.

Comes with a lot of caveats, though [0]. Amazon and likely Microsoft, has made many people wealthy, too. The surge in BigTech stock prices over the years has been nothing short of extraordinary, and there's no indication of that slowing down as more enterprises move to the cloud and even more consumers take to the Internet.

Also, overworking like a start-up employee isn't necessarily what a start-up is about: A start-up's value is in its under-the-radar disruptive potential (that is, being dismissed by the incumbents as a mere "toy"). That said, a start-up must capture as much value it can (this is where working hard, being highly flexible, and moving fast likely matters) from the market it helps create, lest it be subject to irrelevance; but this part comes a bit later in a start-up's life, at which point (the start-up is no longer under-the-radar and investors are circling around it like bees) its stock-options wouldn't likely make an engineer "generational wealth" either (different story for executives) but would have to work hard anyway.

Using SLAAC is the way to go in most cases. DHCPv6 should only really be used when you have a network that is for some reason smaller than a /64.

In my opinion you shouldn't really bother with compatibility. Just do dual stack and maybe NAT IPv4 if necessary.

For my personal use cases IPv6 just proved to be much more versatile than IPv4. It did take some getting used to since it's approached differently, but learning it is very worth it and also helps using IPv4 better

> how can you do anything when you're drunk on alcohol?

The statistics for alcohol consumption in the Nordic countries in the 19th century are staggering, adult males were basically drinking hard liquor all day every day as they went about their work. Alcohol definitely has its effects on the body and is a huge safety risk, but apparently men were still able regardless to run their farms, build the buildings they needed, chop wood, etc.
hahaha, I love this example

By the way, I think that the behavior of the compiler is quite reasonable here. It could emit a warning, though.

you have to ask yourself: why would the most talented and/or visionary and/or defiant individuals want to stay at a large company to build new products? Be it in Labs, Spin-outs, Spin-ins, corporate accelerators, skunkworks projects, or what have you. The craziest of the crazy will go out on their own and try to build something. Most will fail. Those that persist eventually combine luck+opportunity and turn their hallucinations into mainstream-disruptive innovations.
Well I imagine that it could work without ensuring anything. If sortition would be used to get people to serve in parliament.

Then it works as usual because parliament consist mostly of people who don't need to be qualified at all. They vote for prime minister and then that prime minister assembles government with ministers that are qualified specialists. In the end parliament votes if they trust that selection of prime minister and done.

In the end I just came to conclusion that whole voting for parliament members is useless because I can imagine it would not be much worse than random selection from pool of interested people. You also remove issue with people who are handing out places on voting cards because a lot of people just vote on the first person on the list of political party. I can imagine political parties are not going to change status qua :)
unittest already has a lot of really helpful assertions - I just wish they were more accessible outside of a standard class-based tests. https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.html

I tend to try and lean on the language as much as possible before pulling in libraries like this. This is the sort of thing that you end up regretting a year or two later when the author abandons the project and you can no longer get help for bugs. Unlike vanilla language assertions, you won't need to rewrite your entire test suite when that situation inevitably comes up.

pytest will give you really awesome feedback with vanilla/basic 'assert x in y' statements

Starlink seems to be priced more for the American market, where internet access to your home generally costs about $40-50 USD/mo, and cell service (with ~20gb of data, aka 'unlimited') generally costs about $35-$70/mo. For a lot of people, this will replace one of those, AND be available anywhere you can put the antenna.
You can have payouts proportional to success even in big companies. Google famously payed $120M to Anthony Levandowski. This is because there was an agreement in place to pay projects in X based on the value that they create.
As a general rule, analogies between personal finance and government finance don’t work very well. It feels intuitive, but governments can do things you cannot. You personally lack the ability to cause inflation via your debt, for example. You also can’t raise bonds, adjust taxes, or declare war.

Not saying that 356% is bad, I’m not an economist, but just because you’re leveraged higher than that on a mortgage tells us very little about whether or not 356% is bad or not.

For certain it matters what that government debt is going to pay for. Debt for infrastructure (and therefore future growth) is quite a bit different than debt to finance consumption, for example.
> Opioids are insanely and instantly addictive. I accidentally became addicted after knee surgery.

Is that true generally, or just for a subset of people who have some predisposition to addiction?

While it could just be Purdue Pharma propaganda, I vaguely recall hearing that the "instant addiction" was a myth. However, people like you have experiences like yours, so there must be some truth to the "instant addiction" idea.

Edit for downvoters: I think it totally makes sense for everyone treat opioids like a loaded gun, like another poster said, if some people are vulnerable to an instant addiction effect. I just want to clarify what the actual situation is (for me and all the other people who were told it was a myth).
I'm reading it as saying it's not considered because it's a massive task and difficult to get it right, not because it wouldn't be worth doing.
This presumes that the government can tax and print money equally amongst market participants, and that the economy doesn't re-arrange itself to capture the money printer.

As a counter point one could imagine a hypothetical implementation of MMT where money was printed in a particular room at particular times of day, and those in the room were able to capture the money. This would of course help the government offload distribution of printed currency and avoid direct corruption. Given the room can only hold so many people those in the room will have had to wheel, deal, and bribe to get make their way in.

As its impossible to have a taxation room as everyone would simply avoid the money pit, the government would of course need to still tax all market participants according to some taxation scheme, presumably the government would tax investments less than income to keep the money velocity from falling.

We'd be left with a hypothetical economy where ~100 individuals/corporations get dollars printed at them and a taxation system which taxes what those individuals happen to spend in the rest of the economy. Creating a natural monopoly for those with a spot in the room.

The Celts did in fact inhabit most of Europe in pre-Roman times, or at least very big swathes of it. For example there are some stone-made Celtic-crosses that are popular in what is today North-Western Romania (Maramures county), there are different articles about them (in Romanian) which also include some photos [1]. Now, I didn't know if that same type of cross was also present in Scotland but a quick search directed me to this article [2], which tells me that they used to be quite popular in early Christian times. The county of Maramures is pretty close to what used to be Scythia.

I've found another blog-post with more photos about the Celtic crosses from Maramures [3], and in the comments in there someone also linked to similar crosses being found in Northern Greece/Macedonia, close to Thessaloniki [4]. Very interesting stuff.
