What's a scenario where passive safety systems, say those of a HTGR with TRISO fuel, fail and cause it to go prompt critical? I'm genuinely curious about this, as everything I've read suggests this is essentially impossible due to the design of the reactor, fuel, and coolant.
Yes, in the same way people who participate in book burnings also arent deciding what you read, just what they burn.

> Interesting. I would still consider that government funded, personally, since it's a mandatory fee imposed by the government and applied to all TV watchers, not just consumers of the BBc. It's certainly a bit more blurry though with the direct collection.

Not all consumers. No need for a TV license to listen to radio 4, or use the website.

I do have a TV license, but that's mainly because I very occasionally use iplayer - I don't even own a TV aerial.

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?

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?

No, because the term seems superfluous or euphemistical to me. But yes in the sense that it is psychological manipulation.

It sounds like you want access to Technical Drawing skills.

there is a core skill of spatial relations modeling required for drawing in general and this needs to be developed.

blueprints or architectural plans attempt to convey; where and how objects exist in space relative to reference.
such as with a frontside rightside top drawing or a cavalier [2.5 dimension] orthographic drawing.

visual artist like sketch artists are attempting to create extradimensional information to evoke 3D associations with a 2D object, so abstracting spatial relations across different dimensions along with the physical technique and media is required.
Hear hear. Don't risk throwing your life away to try and look cool to other people.
Always keep pen and paper on you, so that if you're ever in a boring meeting, you can start drawing portraits or sketches of the room. Don't worry about mistakes or trying to get everything right. Don't use an eraser. Embrace your mistakes and individual perspective. Enjoying drawing is the most important part.
As a teenager myself I experience a lot of external pressure from my peers, adults, and even the education system to not be boring.

My friends don’t want to hang out with someone who is boring. Adults don’t want to talk to a kid who can’t show that they are mature and can’t provide experiences to back that up. Colleges aren’t going to admit a potential student who can’t an tell an interesting story.

There is too much incentive to not be boring in my current environment.

Blowers and weed wackers shift from throttled to idle all over the place and are a lot harder to tune out than mowers at least for me. Road noise likewise is pretty background and largely from tires, not engines, anyway, unless you have a lot of commercial trucks, bikes, or tuners around.
I've been fairly disappointed with the analysis of first doses first. If someone were to recommend half-courses of antibiotics, I feel like a lot more people would instantly recognize what could potentially go wrong here (and for which we will have 'no evidence for' until it is too late). The assumption of first doses first is that partial protection is better than all or none - but with evolving organisms, this is a pretty tendentious assumption. It is not at all implausible that this strategy will select for vaccine-immune strains.
The trouble stems from the C Standard being copyrighted. Hence, anyone writing online documentation is forced to rewrite and rephrase what the Standard says. The Standard is written in very precise language, and is vetted by the best and most persnickety C programmers.

But the various rewrites and rephrases? Nope. If you absolutely, positively want to get it right, refer to the C Standard.

printf is particularly troublesome. The interactions between argument types and the various formatting flags is not at all simple.

Other sources of error are the 0 handling of `n` functions, and behavior when a NaN is seen.
I was positive I could not draw objects from life. But some of the tricks in that book showed that even I really could (in the right frame of mind) trace/render/copy/draw from life. Now I just needed practice.

Get this book, go through it, then look into drawabox if you are looking to draw from life.

For constructivist illustrations or styles like manga, I'm still learning.
What's important is that your criteria is based on what you think is interesting or worthwhile (or by your paraphrase, "cool"), so that you personally are happy with your own story. The mistake teenagers make is trying to optimize for the definitions that others have for those things.

(I say "mistake", but really it's just the natural consequence of not yet having a clear sense of self, which is perfectly normal at that age)

>Fusion in the home

Why would you possibly want to make reactors that small when we already have such extensive electric grids?
An important part of the article mentions bringing down the cost of high-temperature ReBCO tape conductors, where SPARC itself needed more than entire than what existing companies would expect to produce in an entire year. Existing technologies using superconductors like MRI machines, large transformers/motors, and synchronous condensers for power generation have each benefitted from bringing down these costs as the use cases mature.

ITER's estimated timeline having a working reactor by 2025 is ambitious, but is also supply constrained in that they're projecting the need for more Nb-Ti and Nb-Tn exceeding current yearly production amounts as well. For reaching the end goal of affordable hyperscale energy production, it's promising to see demand increase in order for new competitors to invest in related research projects.
Let me make sure I understand you: I think you're talking about accurate attribution of clickstream analytics to particular users, in the face of spoofed data from clients?

And then, connecting the dots a bit, spoofed clickstream events could trigger some sort of marketing campaign event or other "action" that can become a vector for security issues, such as Eve figuring out what Adam has in his shopping cart by manipulating a cart-abandoned campaign to go to Eve's email instead of Adam's?

If so, this is usually addressed by server-side analytics events. I fail to see any mechanism by which this could be solved client-side, nor any useful way for any vendor to make this process meaningfully easier. Analytics events are basically as easy as console.log with most vendors.
I understand why Nvidia gets a lot of heat from the Linux community regarding the closed source nature of their GPU drivers. That said, I use them on all of my Linux machines and not being a FOSS purist I don't take issue with it. Additionally, most of the complaints come from the Linux desktop community. You rarely see the ML community at large expressing any concern. For the most part they're just trying to get work done and the overall CUDA ecosystem is tremendously useful in that regard.

Very usable desktop experience, CUDA just works, the rest of the software ecosystem makes anything else pale by comparison (see the Pytorch ROCm discussion that made the HN front page today). Every few months I take another look at ROCm and frankly don't understand how anyone can take it seriously.

In the FOSS/Linux community the discussion around the closed source nature of desktop drivers seriously discounts the amount of FOSS work Nvidia has done.
On no parent conferences: Teachers only have so much bandwidth for parent-teacher conferences, so they likely prioritize students in the lowest quartile.

Tldw: Do an extreme version of agile for getting better. E.g, do 1 minute sketches of a cup 12 times, trying different variations, and understand WHY some variations worked and some didn't. After experimenting, see how other people did it. And do it again.

I used to hate drawing, but after trying this approach for months I think I love it. I do not regret the time I spent learning to draw, and after putting in the hours it changed the way I see the world.
> Even if they explicitly conducted a pump-and-dump, nobody was cheated here.

A pump-and-dump is a scheme designed to cheat people. The cheat is to deliver misleading statements to convince others to purchase something, while quietly doing the opposite of what you're promoting.

Ask HN: How to Sell to B2B and Agencies?

It seems like no one uses email or no one replies from agencies?

Iter and other big or old projects are going the safe route with magnets that need to be at 4 or so Kelvin. All these ‘hotter’ superconductors are relatively unproven (it’s a oversimplification for a broad category), especially their strength when made into the shapes that make the magnetic field and form part of the load bearing structure of the container. The winners would enter that tipping point.
That could definitely be productized, even if it didn't work very well.

Working in web hosting, I've hosted many sites like this and had to deal with some of the people who've made them. And I have to say that while it's fun to point and laugh at the websites, there are a few of these in the ring that are borderline troubling. It is clear that their authors are suffering from some serious mental illnesses and at the very least some major delusions.

I recall a case years ago where I hosted a site for someone who appeared to be a paranoid schizophrenic. They called in one day complaining that we'd moved one of their HTML tables to the left by a few pixels. Another one was a website by somebody who was "exposing" their local municipality for doing things like charging for water and "illegally incarcerating" the website owner, who viewed their stints in a mental hospital as an attack to their freedom.

On the other hand, Lings Cars made it on this webring, and it's well deserved. That site is awesome and horrible at the same time, and it's designed to make us gawk at it for fun.
Stop believing you're bad at drawing.
Seriously... writing is much more demanding than drawing. If you can write you can exert so much more control over the pen than is needed for drawing.
You need some time. Take your time to observe and take your time to make the drawing. Attention to details is paramount. Drawing quickly won't give nice results.
People don't get confirmation of those details normally unlike the ML algorithm. Of course we don't lock people in boxes with a stack of training set photos for a period of time equivalent to ML training.

Pixels are pretty much the only Android phone that supports full verified boot with custom keys, meaning verified boot of the entire base system works no matter what OS you're booting (as long as your OS supports verified boot in the first place). They're about on par with iPhones security-wise, but Pixels support alternate OSes which is really nice.

Other Android phones often either have broken verified boot implementations (such as only verifying the kernel) or completely lack it.

The Titan M makes Pixels even better; it is a security chip which stores keys such as those for verified boot.

The security of Pixels is why security-focused mobile operating systems like GrapheneOS often target Pixels instead of say, Samsung Galaxies.

Definitely similar and that's part of the problem. Scout, Ariba, Bonfire, Coupa, Jaggaer, etc. prefer to stay upmarket. Longer sales cycles, onboarding processes, training sessions, and pricier annual agreements.

We're taking a simpler, more user-friendly SaaS approach so that similar tools/processes become more accessible to smaller companies that may not have dedicated procurement functions or the budget for one of the big guys.

Fusion is a complicated thing. Even if we reach net positive energy generation before 2030. How much longer will mature power plant design take? Lets say something lasting at least 10 if not 20 years with reasonable maintenance(that is not replacing the whole thing every other year). Not to forget that nuclear plants can run 60 years.

And then comes questions of life-cycle energy inputs and costs. How long will it be to be net positive on these? That is we spend less energy on cooling the coolant for superconductors and overall building the thing.
A quick google shows that electric blowers are 75% quieter than gas ones by decibel. In fact, they're comparable to using a hair dryer (around 70 dB):

It will be easy to use neutrons from DT fusion to get weapon-grade plutonium. This may be easier to police, i.e. "there should be no uranium nowhere near a fusion plant", but that's a much subtler statement.

And of course mining for lithium as a fuel is still necessary, so you should perhaps say "no additional mining" or something.

There are communities devoted to deep understanding of games. These tend to be in the Speedrun or Tool-Assisted-Speedrun communities. Both tend to be high time investments, but can reveal deep understandings of a game, including how to exploit coding flaws.

Of course, gaming is not the only hobby that a person can gain satisfaction from, and you can similarly get that sense of growth from other goal or skill based hobbies. Painting, music, or even just learning a foreign language. The payoff may be much greater than mastering a game, as society at large tends to value these "worldly" skills more than gaming skill.
Yeah, I only learned about all of these differences when I got into British panel shows, some of which are truly fantastic.

8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown was my introduction, and Taskmaster is far and away one of the funniest things on TV.

The latter show will broadly appeal to nerds, because most task descriptions (like “bring in the heaviest item that fits inside a shoe box”) leave loopholes large enough to drive lorries through, and the contestants are by turns great and terrible at exploiting them (in this case, “a copy of Mein Kampf”; which category this falls under is left as an exercise for the reader).
The title is also misleading. It should be "World's highest specific capacity solid state battery developed developed in Japan".

> You only need a TV license if you use equipment to receive a live TV programme

Better than Denmark, but the quoted legal snippet is not restricted to BBC content, but instead applies to reception or any kind of television broadcast irrespective of provider or source (foreign satellite TV being an obvious alternative).

It's a different TV tax than that in Denmark, but absolutely a government mandated tax.

(I am unsure how to interpret the digital television broadcast service aspect. I wonder if they mean something wider than DVB, as the previous points do not use "analogue" as classifier. It's need more of the text to figure that out.)
