There's a difference between survival instinct and learned helplessness and antagonism.

In a healthy organization, skip-level interactions are institutionalized as a feedback mechanism against mid-level managers presenting an oversanitized version of what's really happening to skips when from the skip's point of view, there could be ticking time bombs and they'd like to know. In fact, if there's discord between a manager and a report, it's often a great opportunity for a coachable moment between the manager and the skip -- a line manager who doesn't learn how to handle these situations with diplomacy, candor, tenderness and efficacy will struggle to earn influence in their desire to become a manager of managers. And that becomes the skip's problem because it impedes their ability to grow an influential and growing organization.

It is only in a dysfunctional organization where a report talking to their skip is intrinsically adversarial to the line manager. Of course these situations aren't so rare as anyone would like (especially at stagnant big corporations), but it doesn't change the fact that if you work at such an organization, your career growth is pretty capped anyways and you may as well be looking for a new role regardless. Why?

Learning how to play petty political games doesn't actually level up your fungible skillsets and ability to deliver customer value. You'll start over from square one when you eventually do want to switch companies, and you'll never get that time back you wasted on merely "surviving" when you could have been actually growing. People shoot their entire careers in the foot by settling this way.

A year or two ago I went through every online account I have to change the email address.

I should have kept a record of results. Some were good and easy. Some had no option other than an account closure. Some involved a single contact of support without any real verification that I was actually the account holder. Some involved a protracted string of contact with support that tried to claim I was asking for an impossibility. Some services kept my old email on file and I periodically receive something to my old address.

Renewables fail at heating in the winter because they generate electricity directly. SMR nuclear district heating might be the only way to cover the shortfall. Thermal power plants have an inherent advantage when it comes to producing heat.
I don’t think we even need to store it. Nuclear waste has been sitting in regular storage for over 50 years now, seems to be perfectly safe. We should just keep doing what we’re doing.
Why do we even need to bother putting it underground except for some unlikely what if scenarios 1000 years in the future.
Thanks.

Saul Griffith has been making the same points.

TLDR: Based on opportunity costs and urgency, renewable generation capacity is both much quicker and cheaper.

However, we must also invest (R&D) in next generation nuclear. eg micro reactors and liquid sodium. And hope like hell that any of the 50 long shot bets wins biggly. Because we're still going to need it.
Any easy testable critical claim should be tested. Science in action IMO. Nothing like empirical data collection.

At some point you may find a data point that deviates and doesnt lock the account and might be able to reason how/why it happened. If nothing else you can at least quickly verify with high confidence and not just take a small conesus' word.

It would be a great philanthropic endeavor indeed, but I personally have a problem with suggesting they have to do this to "pay back" to the community. They've already paid back to everyone who ever considers launching anything to space, by cutting off a zero out of launch costs - and they're about to cut off another zero.

Launch costs tend to be a small part of mission costs for bespoke scientific hardware - but what makes those missions expensive is a feedback loop: rare and expensive launches -> need to make best use of the mass budget -> increased complexity -> need to make more robust -> increased complexity -> more expensive -> rarer launches -> more expensive launches. SpaceX just kicked that loop into reverse. With that much cheaper launches, people can afford less robust and less complex missions, and do more of them, which lowers the costs as scale kicks in.

SpaceX is making space cheap. That's already a great gift to everyone.

rr optionally uses CPUID faulting to mask off RDRAND, but this is completely non-critical issue. If this is not available then libraries just need to have envvar switch to disable RDRAND usage. It also uses CPUID faulting for makes traces portable between systems. (if you really need that you can run rr inside VM, and it will work fine)

But core rr functionality works just fine on Zen CPUs, after MSR to disable some determinism-breaking speculations was discovered. These problems were not related to CPUID.
el-wire has two electrodes, one in the core and one usually spiraling around the outside, I think in this case the spiraling one is shared with one electrode and the EL glowy stuff as weft and the other electrode as warp - when you light them both up a bit of EL stuff glows

Now usually it take a 100v AC signal to drive EL-wire and it will give you a nasty shock if you're not careful I'd be a bit leary about using this fabric (plus because it's multiplexed I'd guess they're probably driving it with more than 100v to get any brightness)
I did it too.... I saw someone post about it in my TL and promptly tweeted.

Hydrogen energy density is around 39,000 Wh/kg. That's rarely going to the limiting factor. The physical limitations are nearly the same as natural gas, which is to say they are easily solvable. Superconducting wires will have their own major issues that are a long ways away from being solved.

In reality, we're nearly at the point where hydrogen is a solved problem, but batteries will be a very long ways away from being a car for everyone. In particular, you've ignored the limits on battery energy density which will likely limit battery powered cars to either expensive luxury cars or short-ranged urban cars.
I reccomend Vaclav Smil's interviews on this subject. The short answer is no.
Thought experiments don't need to be realistic when they are responses to deductive arguments. [1]

You can't use a thought experiment to argue that people should change their behavior because of a problem, as you're pointing out - and I'm not doing that. I'm not saying people should not pirate things because piracy is bad for game developers. I pirate things. I'm not making a statement about piracy.

ddevault is doing something rather specific: arguing that because intellectual property rights do not exist, anyone whose work is copied does not lose anything. This is an argument that is contradicted by a possible world in which someone loses something, even if you don't think it's our actual world.

It added some and also removed some of the possible distractions from remote work.

Kids at home for schooling is an addition. Many of the fun activities being closed is a removal. There’s no bar or restaurant to get together with friends, no club/rec level sports to play, etc.

I agree that there are a lot of confounding variables, but think many were pro-efficiency rather than all being detrimental.

I don't care. Metaphysics is where "meta" comes from, and it has a specific meaning and interpretation, within professional philosophy. You are not referring to this specific meaning, and so I don't care what your thoughts are anymore.

You're tilting at windmills my friend.
>that seems extraordinarily unlikely

Isn't this the issue then? Assuming a north province can have taxes equal to e.g. BC and Ontario seems erroneous. What's the incentive in living in harsher climate, less populated area?
It is not straightforward, because the law doesn’t draw that distinction. Additionally, almost any “platform” has to reserve the right to moderate content to keep its customers and stay in business. Nobody wants to advertise on a site that is filled with white supremacist memes and pornographic material.
It wasn't an argument that one side should allow people to die, it was an argument that high mutual cost deters conflict and encourages diplomatic engagement. Which is true, see: nukes.
People advocating for a reasonable position which they hold isn't confirmation bias. Reading a recitation of arguments you've already encountered shouldn't adjust your priors, that's for new information.
Maybe I'm the outlier here, but with the pandemic came a significant cultural shift, reducing office politics, and it's been something of a productivity renaissance for my organization.

Communication has downshifted to a few mandatory team and all-staff gatherings, one on ones with direct reports, and that's about it. We handle things through email and Teams for urgent matters. Overall, management has been light touch, trust but verify, and staff are given flexibility to set "project hours" to avoid interruptions.

Frank communication about what works, what doesn't, and setting realistic agendas (from the meeting level up to the epic projects) has been very helpful.
Simple but time consuming to detect I presume.

Since you’re going to go there, let’s add in the damage from all the iron, that limestone and uranian required to build the nuclear plant? Also quite damaging.

Photovoltaics, not the best. Now what about mirrors pointing at concrete towers moving liquid sodium around, like in Spain, or pointed at steel pipes filled with water.

The pro-nuclear crowd have two things in common:

1. They have more faith in humanity than we have shown is warranted
2. They won’t accept that Nuclear has failed to achieve the promised widescale adoption and economic benefits.

We can’t even contain plastic bags.

Assets that have a real income stream behind them at least have a price floor. For example you would not expect a house to sell for less than the present value of some number of years rent, you would not expect the sum of shares of a company to sell for less than the liquidation value of its assets less its liabilities, etc. Bitcoin has precisely 0 equity or income stream attached to it. It is not an income producing asset. It does not grant claim to real assets like a bond or a stock. There is zero underlying. That is why the term "Bitcoin market cap" is BS. There is nothing to capitalise. Bitcoin could be priced at $0 or $1,000,000 either way its present price per unit does not relate to the net value of all Bitcoins as a market cap would.

From what I've seen this this is not the attitude most boostrappers have.

We've know since January. The people we first see with a virus also came from ground zero? It's not logical to state this as fact. It's purely Western propaganda. Escape from a lab is far more logical, but similarly should not be stated as fact.

What about the hidden cost of nuclear? The waste storage. The security measures (can't have terrorists walking off with the nuclear waste). The constant need for inspections, audits, etc. And that's before you consider the corruption and the gravy train that is basically associated with funding existing plants using massive amounts of public funding.

Nuclear being too expensive is the main point of this article. That seems upsetting to a lot of nuclear proponents. But I don't see a lot of arguments to counter that core point.

Nuclear the most expensive option in the German market. This is a completely uncontroversial fact. You can verify it in countless publications. You can argue whether it is 3x more expensive (according to the article) or a maybe a bit more when you consider all the hidden cost. IMHO 3X actually a very friendly assessment considering bids for solar and wind are trending very much below the cited cost in the article by about 2-5x. The point is that it is expensive by a quite significant factor.

I don't get your argument about mining. Yes policy making in the US is a problem (hence the Texas situation a few weeks ago). Nuclear does not solve that political mess; it just adds to it. I don't think the US is actually capable at this point of building nuclear cheaply. There are just too many stakeholders drooling over the multi billion $ budgets for that ever to make sense economically. And in any case the glacial decision making ensures it will be too little too late even if they by some miracle stick to budgets, which I would argue is pure fantasy. Too little, too late, for way too much is not what the world needs.
They're good until 2030 and then they're all going to start aging out at more or less the same time.

Nuclear power is extraordinarily capital intensive but fairly
reasonably priced to run once it's built.

This also creates a strong incentive to run plants beyond their operating lifetime, which France may do. That takes us into exciting new territory safety-wise.
