If a fission reactor had a power density as low as a fusion reactor, it would also be impossible to melt down, just because the thermal inertia of the core would be so large. Of course, it would also be uneconomical, because of the cost of that larger core (just as a fusion reactor would be uneconomical.)
Yes, I think so. Given how other functions work though, I would expect nil in this case, since Clojure is a language, and not just a Java library.
Even putting that aside, just showing text on a screen is much slower on modern PCs then older ones, since you have a far more complicated graphics stack and latency at several added steps.

I remember an article a couple of years ago where someone rigged up a camera to measure key press to screen update on different machines and the results were eye opening.

From the 480 there was the 580, Vega 56/64/VII, RX 5700 and now the 6800.

From a few random benchmark site checks online the 6800 is over three times faster than a 480.

Admittedly, to actually buy a 6800 series it is probably at least three times the price of a new 480.

Of course this fails if your nil is actually a string, but that's a different issue.

Most of the science in this article is wrong.

New variants usually come from reservoir populations (animals), not humans. Slowing down the spread of a disease in the human population gives new variants time to develop, and also provides evolutionary pressure for them to spread despite the lockdown protections.

This is basic virology and population dynamics. This stuff is frequently taught in introductory college courses, if not high school biology.

The risk of introducing new variants was a well understood risk of the lockdown and was discussed early last year.
Curious what the general opinion is of AdGuard? I have tried it through SetApp but it seems fishy for some reason.

Google Zanzibar – Modeling Permission Boundaries and Set Intersection
I've taken particular interest in the Google Zanzibar paper recently (https://research.google/pubs/pub48190/).

For the sake of learning and to satisfy my own curiosity I'm attempting to rebuild the primary features it offers using strictly open-source software. If you're interested, take a look!
https://github.com/jon-whit/zanzibar-poc

I'm particularly interested in how the model works with disjoint intersections of relation tuples.

Particularly, if a user has a maximum level of permissions (e.g. a permission boundary) in addition to a set of shared/granted permissions, how would that be modeled in Zanzibar's model?

Let's say you have the following model:

PermissionBoundary {
id : string,
permissions : []string
}

User {
id : string,
boundaryId : string // FK on PermissionBoundary
}

The effective permissions a user has is composed of the joint intersection of the permission boundary permissions and the shared permission (relations) on the object.

effectivePermissions = boundary.permissions & shared.permissions

I know the paper mentions userset rewrites that can express intersection, but I'm having a hard time modeling how it actually works with join/swing tables like my model above demonstrates.
They send out an email, saying the booking system is open. We have to go in and make a booking. No, they don't automatically allocate slots to parents who don't book. I don't know what would happen if you were expected to book a meeting but didn't book one.

Actually we don't book the meeting because they have a different system for students on IEPs. If your child has an IEP, you don't book the normal meeting, the school contacts you to arrange a different one. That's because they bring a lot more staff to IEP student meetings than the regular parent-teacher meetings.

Edit: It becomes art when the person creating it declares it as art. Otherwise it's just sad. Thank you @mulmen for brining this point out.
> Not all consumers. No need for a TV license to listen to radio 4, or use the website.

I may misunderstand then. In order to watch live TV in the UK you must pay a fee, mandated by the government, and that fee is paid to the BBC? If that's the case, I stand by what I said previously.

> Some states in America require a dog license and/or a cat license, is that a tax? Is a fishing license a tax? How about a fee to enter a national park?

A defacto tax, yes, to all of these. Taking the definition of tax I receive from Google and trimming to the relevant bit: "a compulsory contribution to state revenue ... added to the cost of some goods, services, and transactions." The state says "you must have permission to have a dog. If you want permission, you must pay". That's a compulsory contribution added to the cost of some service.

> In at least some states in the US the government mandates you to have car insurance if the car is operated on the public highway. This mandatory fee is collected by private companies and goes to private companies, is it a tax?

That's an interesting question! My knee jerk reaction is no, and I think it is because the insurance provider is actually selling me a service separate and distinct from the activity. That is to say, the BBC is selling "TV" and you're paying a fee. The insurance carrier is selling me a promise that they'll pay me if something should go wrong while I drive, not driving itself.

I fully admit that's a tenuous difference, and I could probably be convinced otherwise. You make a good point.

For people not from the US, selective defunding of education was part of a strategy begun in the mid-1800s to further disenfranchise free blacks around the nation.

By shifting schools to local funded, areas with multiple (segregated) school systems used "plain and simple economic reason" to shut down excess schools to save cost, somehow always the black ones. The proof that blacks could not lift themselves out of these situations was used as further proof of their inherent inferiority, not the systemic racism they faced.

To compound this, states that organized "literacy tests"[1] to vote rarely required them for whites. Further removed from the ability to affect their circumstances, many black communities languished for generations.

As a natural extension of this, many school districts in the US are still operating under unequal resources while their constituents' tax revenues go towards the landscaping and infrastructure costs of wealthier areas, while the blame is placed on the victims (eg- "absent parents" who are largely working class victims of exploitation from extreme rent seeking, over-policing harsher monetary and legal penalties, payday loan traps, and other things you don't encounter in wealthy areas).

> For example, sometimes you need a let in a -> chain to have a temporary binding. That doesn't work because you can't randomly insert forms into let, so you have to split things up again.

Of course you can do that, you just supply a function which has whatever you need in it. That's how you'd ideally be operating in Scheme as well.

Unlike everything else in the cell, mitochondria are not created by the cell nucleus. They are semi-autonomous "cells in the cell". Like, that is their assumed evolutionary origin: a parasite that miraculously became a symbiont. The "outer cell" provides protection and food, the "inner cell" specializes on energy production.

So what happens when a cell wants to become two is that the cell nucleus will (command to) synthesize another copy of all other stuff, but mitochondria just create their own copies by splitting in two.

Now what would happen in sexual reproduction if each gamete would bring their own mitochondria? The "outer cell" would benefit from them living together peacefully, but if a mitochondrion would attack its competitors instead, it would be an evolutionary advantage. Even if it would reduce the probability of the whole cell surviving, as long as the chance of the cell surviving is greater than 50%, it is profitable for a mitochondrion to attack its competitors, because it will leave twice as many descendants if it wins. This would lead to arms race between mitochondria, and the cell would pay the costs.

Except, there is this neat trick when the cell creates two types of gametes: those with mitochondria (i.e. female) and those without (i.e. male). Then there is no internal battle after joining.

A few plants tried it with more than two sexes, where the rule was generally "any two individuals from different sexes can reproduce", and for each combination of sexes they knew which one provides the mitochondria and which does not. But most of nature settled on two sexes.

But how did the mother get into position where a) she's single and b) she needs to work 3 jobs to get by?

One situation is teen pregnancy. Say a girl gets pregnant as a teenager and the father flees (common for single moms). Now she has to raise a kid by herself and drop out of school, limiting her career options.

Is this an individual responsibility fail or a societal fail? I guess you could argue "society failed by not providing her with free contraceptives and/or abortive services and/or social services" but it's just a bad, sad situation no matter how you slice it, and clearly there was some personal agency involved. Even worse, it's a self-perpetuating cycle (i.e. the pregnant teen's offspring is more likely to also be a pregnant teen)

How could someone demonstrate the safety of these systems if their very association with those systems is a sufficient reason for you to doubt them? If the research and experiments of nuclear engineers, scientists, and regulators from around the world cannot be trusted to develop or assess the safety of fission reactors, why does this change with fusion? I also have not seen evidence that anyone is attempting to suppress information about nuclear safety. Overall nuclear power has an outstanding safety record and ranks among the lowest deaths per TWh of any energy source (and this includes Chernobyl)[1][2].

For the record the HBO series on Chernobyl, while a good show, greatly exaggerated parts of the story. There was no threat of a megaton-level thermonuclear explosion that would destroy Kiev or make huge parts of Europe uninhabitable from the melted core coming in contact with water. The soviets did know about the RBMK's propensity to have a runaway reaction, and the rest of the world never allowed those types of reactors to be built.

They might or might not be different, the fact remains that they have gained little in sophistication, which would be a more relevant measure of progress. As I mentioned in another comment, this is not the kind of flaw that would have passed a diligent 3rd party audit, and yet the thieves got $31M from it.
This is a bad argument. The fuel cycle is a small fraction of the cost of fission power. The main cost is the cost of building the plant. Fusion reactors will be much larger than and much more complex than fission reactors, per unit of thermal power output, so they should be more expensive. Fission reactors today are uncompetitive, even with liability artificially set to a small value, so that argument fails too.
