His argument is highly contingent on a single premise: nuclear power is very expensive to build, making it uneconomical.

However, it's extremely difficult to determine how much of this expense is necessary vs. due to over-regulation or lack of innovation. It's easy to say that some regulations on nuclear power are probably unnecessary (cf. widespread nuclear paranoia); it's much harder to say which. It's easy to say that new kinds of reactors might be cheaper; it's harder to say what kind or how much cheaper.

ReBCO-stabilized fusion on the horizon throws another wrench in the prediction machine, as well. Who knows what that's worth? It was invented yesterday!

Has anyone LOOKED at fortran recently?

Some excerpts from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortran

Fortran 90:

- Ability to operate on arrays (or array sections) as a whole, thus greatly simplifying math and engineering computations.

- whole, partial and masked array assignment statements and array expressions, such as X(1:N)=R(1:N)*COS(A(1:N))

Fortran 2003:

- Object-oriented programming support: type extension and inheritance, polymorphism, dynamic type allocation, and type-bound procedures, providing complete support for abstract data types

Fortran 2008:

- Sub-modules—additional structuring facilities for modules; supersedes ISO/IEC TR 19767:2005

- Coarray Fortran—a parallel execution model

- The DO CONCURRENT construct—for loop iterations with no interdependencies

- The BLOCK construct—can contain declarations of objects with construct scope

Fortran 2018:

- Further interoperability with C
why is nuclear waste such a big problem? in terms of m^3 the amount is rather small, and I feel like we're not discussing what's gonna happen with old solar panels. Is there a way to recycle them / how good is it? The article doesn't mention it. As for the nuclear storage problem, from my point of view it seems more like the biggest problem is that people don't want it near them even though it's stored hundreds of meters below surface, and they rather accept a factory and directly breathe the stuff from it
Seems like you should have a read about labor issues in France, for example?

When it said "the largest test of the ranked-choice system in the nation", I initially thought that just meant the largest use by a city, but of course NYC's 5.6 million registered voters vastly outnumber the 1.3 million population of Maine which has used RCV since 2018.

I totally agree with this. I’m not disabled but I do have a pretty crappy upper respiratory system, and I used to get URT infections regularly, like 7-8 times a year. In 2020? Not one. I think my increased awareness about hygiene and the same from the general public really had an effect. And yes, masks too. If there’s one thing positive I hope we can take from this, it is normalizing mask-wearing when you are sick or expect to be around sick people. I plan to continue the practice myself, and pay much more attention to hygiene and personal space, like not touching people unnecessarily.
> Are you saying the underlying asset isn't stored in the blockchain? Or that the "title" isn't stored in the blockchain?

What even is the "asset" in a lot of cases?

People are buying Tweets, which are generated in real time by querying a database and generating some HTML and CSS. Or some UI code on native platforms. Or some JSON via an API. What is the asset? The Twitter code that generates the Tweet? A JPEG of the Tweet itself? The text of the Tweet?

If it's an image of the Tweet, does take into account whether or not my user agent is in light or dark mode?

The rabbit hole is never-ending with such questions.

Note: when I'm comparing "describing reality" vs "approximation", I'm thinking of the following examples:

1. An account for how the world actually works are Newton's laws of motion - they describe how exactly objects interact and how it affects their movement. It is of course an approximation, and only works at certain scales and speeds, but it describes mathematically the phenomena that we can see happen.

2. An alternative account that gives the same values is Hamiltonian mechanics, which describes the system in terms of how its energy changes over time in certain coordinates. They both give the same predictions, and Hamiltonian mechanics is more suited for actually computing the motion of complex systems, but it is much more abstract and doesn't give a clear account of how the system actually works.
One problem with the current form of monetary policy is that it is "pricing out" people. Now that asset prices are higher you have to cut back spending to afford the increased prices. This is especially important for people who are saving for retirement and those who want to buy a house with a mortgage.

I personally see myself falling into "traps" where I cut back on spending because it is easier to make money from investments than from actual honest work. Sometimes it is even circular. I invest more so that I can afford consumer spending in the future even though buying the thing I need is is not out of reach for me.

Any number of artworks are being sold which allow for reproducibility, say photographs. Expensive limited edition prints are a thing. In most of those cases the particular physical manifestation you acquire is entirely a construct. Even for an original painting, the fact that you desire that particular manifestation (over say an improved one which the original artist may now be able to do) is a construct. If a painting needs restoration, you may find that some elements are no longer original; this will not diminish its value. If over the years we replace all the parts of the Mona Lisa, it will still be the Mona Lisa (see also: the Ship of Theseus).

"they’re not incentivized to do anything beyond beyond what they’re asked to do and will need to be highly managed."

I actually find that quite offensive. Myself and the other contractors I know are professionals, winning work through reputation and delivering results. That's why we get paid well.

We require less management and always try to deliver above expectations. We have a professional, business to business relationship with our clients, where many employees seem to consider their employer almost a surrogate parent.

Employees have no more skin in the game, in fact I'd say less - if I don't deliver I get no more work.
> no one in the US is even talking about gun prohibition

Seems pretty clear that this is just a political concession, in the same way that pro-life people are for more regulations on abortion. They’d really like to ban it entirely, but that is an unrealistic political non-starter, so the talking points are more compromising.

> countries with functional governance

Yes, well that is kind of a rare thing historically, hence the need for citizens to be able to defend themselves. Even many so called functional governments weren’t a few decades or half a century ago.
It's a matter of degree. If you don't consider that, it leads to a nihilistic "why bother" attitude that actually makes things much worse. Let's inch our way toward something better instead.

Lack of storage in the US is a purely political issue, not a technical one. Other countries are either successfully building such storage (Finland) or invest into fuel recycling and breeder technologies (France and Russia), which significantly reduce amount of waste which has to be stored and its long-term danger.

It can be sustainable. Just takes a lot of setup, and it’s not usually constant for long periods. But I regularly hit 9, even more and have been for many years now through 5 startups.

Only happens when you have equity, you like the work, and you have a lot of it in front of you with no managers or meetings in the way.

But I’ve designed my work so far to be just that. I’d never go back to working on a team or project that wasn’t structured that way. I’m at my happiest when I’m in this zone, it’s the most creative and rewarding work.
ADV China did a video segment about this. It's already illegal in China to get satellite dishes, they really are afraid of their citizens knowing what's really going on.
This is also why I started freelancing and limit myself to ~20hr weeks. I actually feel just as productive as I did working 8hr days salaried, since I have much better mental health with the extra free time.

The only real downside is finding clients to agree to that limit, but so far it hasn't been too much of a problem.

Sure it happens naturally though, if suddenly people stop coming to your restaurant or bar and you can’t maintain it anymore, but that’s a different thing entirely from the government forcing you out of business.

You are suppose to be free to move around and assemble, period. The idea that the governor or the mayor can just destroy an entire industry for the sake of another industry is pretty fucking bad. They caused waaaay more harm than good, and in many ways we haven’t fully seen yet.
Yeah, NFTs are utter BS, but not much more than people who collect actual original art pieces when you could simply hang a replica of the original for a millionth of the price.

It depends on where you live. If you is very far from the sea and main markets, freswhater fishes could be the choice.

Sardines are easy to find in Europe. You can have also bigger pieces canned but preserved in salt. Is a different product that your typical canned sardines and more environmentally responsible. The elder fishes have a choice to reproduce before to being fished and tins are bigger so more efficient to produce. Some people love them, other dislike the extra salty stuff. is an acquired taste.

But your mom shouldn’t pass on memes that make statements like that then if she can’t verify their authenticity. She is culpable in spreading it because it’s a deliberate action she took. Don’t spread information you don’t know to be true.

Your “mom” in this context is actively spreading fear about topics and not knowing something is true for certain is all the more reason she shouldn’t be doing it.

We have the Internet now, we don’t need rumor mills and information spreading second hand.
This BBC piece obliquely refers to Walker serving in a tank regiment during WWII.

In fact trained at Sandhurst, commanded a Sherman tank as a Captain with the Royal Scots Greys (in the 4th Black Rats Armoured Brigade) in the Battle of the Reichswald under Montgomery. Later Eisenhower said this "was some of the fiercest fighting of the whole war".
AWS has also created satellite ground stations in the last few years. A commercial satellite internet service running from the ground stations would probably justify scaling out, and having a larger network of ground stations would help AWS attract more commercial space customers.

> Few would call mathematics an art, though, or would they? I'm not sure.

Many would, precisely because it is not empirical, as indicated by the fact that mathematics departments are often in Arts faculties.

As Sir Michael Atiyah put it: "The art in good mathematics, and mathematics is an art, is to identify and tackle problems that are both interesting and solvable."

Mathematicians will often wax philosophical when speaking about mathematical beauty and elegance, which is widely considered to be a central pursuit of mathematics, second only to correctness.

The problem here is that too many people are trying to use the word "science" to mean "the only thing that produces knowledge", in which case "mathematics is not a science, but does produce knowledge" is a heretical statement, even though a sizable portion of mathematicians would agree with it.
If you read the article it talks about exempt vs non-exempt and how salaried workers that make over $35,568 and do "higher-level work" are exempt from overtime. Those that are not exempt get 1.5x pay for overtime and 2x for double overtime (e.g. overtime on holiday). So in the US overtime is always 1.5x but many salaried workers simply don't get overtime.

2-3% yield is the minimum needed just to keep up with inflation. Right now anyone can convert their USD to a stable-coin and get a safe yield of 8-12% with automatic lending protocols [0]. Gold is physical material people need to keep safe and converting back and forth from fiat is not something that's instant. If it was more convenient then people would hold it. Bitcoin solves this.

This is about Israel not Jews.
Israel is a country, Jews are not a country.
Israel is not made of Jews, there are other religions in Israel.
Why do you have to invent things and call them "matter of fact", such as Israel being a bastion of peace when they invest so much money and energy on Army and weapons or HN being pro/anti certain religions, is beyond my comprehension.
Effectively? Yes. Not in a “we can prevent anything we want” but a “we can do whatever we want” way.
I am actually pondering if I should do this to lock my account.
You bring up a valid point about NY vs. FL. NY [0] had more initial cases (initial outbreaks), Florida [1] had more over the summer (perhaps inside with a/c?), and they have been pretty much identical the last several months. I don't propose that Florida is doing better. But numerically it's hard to say they are doing worse. And there are at least some crowded nightclubs in Florida, and have been for months. I don't know of that happening in NY, I've heard of the ones there that tried getting shut down.

I'm not sure what to do with the idea of the someone who would willingly expose their Grandmother. Some grandmothers don't care. Some care a lot and won't take any chances. Most young people don't live with their grandmother's. I wouldn't go clubbing if I lived with my grandmother. When I'm visiting other people I'm sure to let them know about any recent exposure I've had, allowing them to decide if they're comfortable.

Maybe we should return to the main question of this thread, so we don't stray too far: Is it reasonable for young healthy people (who don't live with vulnerable people) to go out clubbing?

Given the numbers (7000 out of 89+ million 19-39 year olds have died in the country), my answer is still "yes!"

Another way of looking at it (for young people): Young people are 20x more likely to die of something besides covid [2]. Nobody thinks it's reasonable to hide from those other things, do they?

I'm in a different demographic, my odds aren't as good as those of an 18-39 year old, and I'm still comfortable going out and ignoring the pandemic when the urge strikes and I'll have a good time. I've paid close attention to the numbers, and only 1 in 600 people have died from this so far, tending to be older and with existing health issues. So my odds are even better than 1 in 600.

You may look at the same numbers and asses the risks differently. Everyone's entitled to their opinion, and to isolate as they see fit.

Perhaps a better way to continue this conversation would be to agree on some numbers, then discuss why we look at the numbers differently?

The incentive to challenge the border is not going away, it's simply more suicidal and ineffective to do it at the border. Perfect automated defense will encourage "challenges" away from the unassailable border, against easier targets such as police stations, shopping centers, and schools...
Content moderation is trivially easy when your users pay for it or have skin in the game. Making accounts paid would immediately fix the problem as few people would want to risk losing real money.

Content moderation only becomes a problem where your business model is "growth and engagement" and your revenue depends on your users generating as much content as possible.
MetaKovan/Sundaresan I think transfers of the B20 token should somehow also result in royalties to all the artists in the B20 porfolio.

Without some form of transfer tax, this breaks the royalties advantage of NFTs because the NFTs aren't being transferred yet.

I think you will accrue a lot of value and attractiveness if artists and token holders are aiming to be appealing to you and the other competing funds that pop up, if you had a way to make the residual go to the assets in your fund.

You can easily add a transfer tax to the transfer() and transferFrom() methods of the erc20 token, which gets pooled and distributed prorata to all the NFT's royalty addresses. You can even keep that as an array in the erc20 token.

Ok, maybe I came across incorrectly.

Obviously, I do care. I do care on the level of having strong regulation, having institutions and governments which regulate this, so that at the end as a customer when I walk into a store I don't need to Google whether a particular brand is fishing tuna in a particular way or not. I expect that the entire structure that exists for regulating and allowing these products to reach the shelves will prevent products which are made in an insustainable way. Maybe I'm a fool for expecting it to work this. But that was why I replied how I did - that I refuse to feel bad because I expect my government to prevent this in the first place. Just like I said elsewhere - I don't worry whether a phone I'm buying was made with child labour because I believe all governments involved in the production of the device enforce laws against child labour.

That doesn't mean that I don't care. But if I find out that phones made by kids or tuna fished to extinction is on store shelves I'll complain.....to the regulatory bodies. Not decide "well, I guess I'll never eat tuna ever again".
My brother has been doing a class in Roblox with some kids from his church. Said it was going pretty well. He had them make an obstacle course.

Although when asked to do that apparently my nephew cheated and just copied the entire object my brother had already edited the script in.

Your immediate manager is supposed to be protect your from that. They're the ones who are hosed when everyone burns out and quits.

On the flip side, if people don't quit and you succeed in delivering the project, your client manager will claim the credit. And that level of output becomes the new expectation for your team.
