> we cannot afford even an accident per century, and thus, cannot afford nuclear power.

This statement has no basis. We've had multiple awful nuclear accidents and the world keeps turning. We are headed towards a much worse scenario of climate change if we don't effectively decarbonize.

You are aware that there are places on earth with hundreds of thousands of inhabitants that have natural radiation dose rates from the geology that are well beyond the dose rates in almost all of the Chernobyl and Fukushima exclusion zones?

> Also building enough nuclear to replace fossils would take too long anyway, it's not even an option.

That's a thing anti-nuclear institutions have been saying for sure but it doesn't hold even a little water. France, for example, decarbonized almost all of its electricity with nuclear in 15 years. When you take a look at achieved decarbonization rates per capita, nuclear is at the top.

Today, we've seen reactors of the Hualong One, ABWRs, VVERs, and ARP-1400 designs built in wholly reasonable times.

And for deep decarbonization, we plan to use factory/shipyard production techniques to serially produce thousands of standardized low-carbon power plants even faster.
I wonder if there's a way you could calculate it's "true" value, which would account for the diminished cost of nickel and iron such an extracted asteroid would surely cause. I'm thinking how aluminum used to be worth more than gold and an estimate from the mid-late 19th century would say that we should all be rich from abundant aluminum.
Curious what your thoughts are on the second best way to learn Piano, then? Second best to an in-person/live teacher.
Of course it would have been unheard of when I was in 5th grade because our assignments weren't even computer readable. In my day, we were expected to copy articles from the World Book Encyclopedia, and they were graded on neatness.

But my kids both recently graduated from high school. There is a tendency for teachers of each grade to prepare kids for subsequent grades. I can imagine hearing: "They will have to do this in sixth grade, so we're preparing them now" without questioning why it's done in any grade. This makes the curriculum seem more "advanced."

I actually don't think my kids had to use turnitin. At least, I never heard about it. A bigger concern is writing stuff that might be reviewed by employers, law enforcement, and so forth, or subjected to some kind of automated analysis in the future. They've heard about the social credit score. They're all familiar with the lesson: "Don't write anything that you would not want to see on the front page of the newspaper."

I'm lucky that anything I ever wrote in school is now in the bit bucket.

And if they start advocating, it will be to implement it using other people's money. Some support.
It would be effectively permanent. The sun would strip the atmosphere over a period of time on the order of a hundred million years. If we could terraform it in the first place maintaining it would be trivial.
The OP is probably talking about implementation rather than design, which to this day is very fragile and prone to breakage and misconfiguration, at least on consumer grade networks.

The last quote from Desair really sums it up nicely, "The language of finance can be insidious. Words like leverage and concepts like diversification can morph from narrow financial terms into much more general ways of understanding the world."

This kind of thinking has infected corporate America, which is optimizing return based measures--typically IRR--rather than profit based measures. That kind of thinking will lead you to believe offshoring your fabs is a good idea, because is reduces assets in the denominator.

On the other hand, financial thinking can help you better understand the world. One of the more powerful insights that comes to mind is Merton's model of corporate capital structure. It turns out that equity is "equivalent" to a long call on firm assets and debt is "equivalent" to a risk-free bond and a short put on assets.

Seeing things this way tells you something about how firms are run. Equity owners (management) have an incentive to increase asset volatility, which increases the call value. This value is taken straight from the bond holders short put. This is why you see buybacks in situations where buybacks seem crazy (Intel in 8/2020).

It could be another opportunity for Amazon to diversify into paid public restrooms, that are free for drivers, but cost the public a few cents.
I might agree that in the beginning some developers aren't as efficient as being solo. But I've yet to find someone who doesn't benefit from being forced to explain their thought process in a clear and concise manner to a coworker. It benefits the pair and it benefits "normal" communication because of that constant practice.

I've found that even for devs who are completely against, which I was one, can come around on pairing given the space and time to succeed.
For those that become “religious” for social reasons it makes complete sense to leave because of dubious characters but I would argue that all social groups/organizations have dubious characters.

For those that become “religious” and see it as their personal mission and spiritual relationship, then the social part has scant importance because the hypocrisy is that of other corruptible individuals.
Amazon measures all of the numbers and fires its "less productive" workers. There's a never ending supply of desperately poor people, so they have a constant stream of people to work as fast as physically possible until they burn out. This is baked into their entire philosophy - it applies to warehouse workers, drivers, and software engineers.
>The question today that I have for Mr. Stallman...

...Is an accusation disguised as cross examination. It is a common technique used in courtrooms and by journalists. Such usage does not serve the interests of clarity, and we need clarity here.

If you believe that Richard Stallman, a notoriously unworldly hippie, was really motivated by greed for grant money, then you have a rather high burden of proof to surmount.

The real, and most plausible, explanation was that Stallman was horrified at the unsavory revelations concerning his good friend and colleague, Prof. Marvin Minsky, and was attempting, innocently, to defend him.

I get the intent of what you're saying, but the reality is there are definitely "righter" and "wronger" ways to play. Music is incredibly mathematical, and the piano even more so. Written music provides input and queues to things like phrasing, fingering and the patterns that are often harder to decipher by ear. The true beauty to me is that we can use rules and technique to produce something that sounds so organic and pure. That's probably what also drives my deep love of computers and software.
Quite, that's what I mean. Stack all the 20s first, then top it up with 40s.

Rare materials are valuable because they're rare. If we brought Psyche16 home, they wouldn't be rare, and wouldn't be valuable.

Additionally, a lot of the value of Psyche16 is in iron and nickel. Those aren't rare on Earth -- most of the cost of iron and nickel is labour and energy in mining & refining them. Yes, Psyche16 is much more pure than currently accessible Earth ores, but that's more than offset by the fact that it's in outer space.

I have synthesia and no, it’s not the same. This one requires you to know sheet music, a must have skill I you want to learn a piece quicker than rote memorization in synthesia.

It would be great to somehow make use of reentry generated heat to deliver purified ingots upon landing.
Thanks! Changed to: “Which seller would not want to make extra profit?”
The point is that there isn't enough renewable energy for population centers right now. So every clean watt used for mining btc takes that clean watt away from somebody else. This is why reducing energy use is so powerful. Even if X% of your energy use comes from zero-emissions sources, all marginal energy use comes from carbon.

The only way that btc mining can truly claim to have no impact on global emissions is if it uses zero-emission energy that otherwise couldn't be used in some other productive way. And that, almost by definition, limits the use of the waste heat.
From your link:

> Stallman’s nasty comments last week drew attention to some even more appalling stuff he said back in the mid-2000s. In one 2003 post, the famed coder even wrote that “everyone age 14 or above ought to take part in sex, though not indiscriminately.”

Funny that this "even more appalling stuff" is the law in such backward places like Austria, Germany and Italy. Just slightly less uncivilised countries such as Denmark, France, Sweden, set the age of consent to 15.

I would guess, admittedly with no evidence, that for this particular job, Amazon does not have to worry about posting high numbers for retention. It’s a job without a ton of skill barriers to entry, so they don’t have to be deeply concerned about worker happiness.

It's actually a safety issue. Bowties are preferred because they don't get caught in the tape reels, teletype terminals, and punchcard or paper tape handlers. Only half kidding.
Exactly. You need to refinance every few years even with a fixed rate mortgage. That includes new underwriting that has LTV requirements.

Yes, to me this response seems intuitive if you know anything about bitcoin and PoW blockchains. The original article seems based on misconceptions.

I find it strange that even people at a prominent firm like Union Square Ventures are perpetuating such misconceptions.
All these articles assume median incomes with 10% savings for a down payment, which to me seems ridiculous and is simply never going to be enough to buy a detached home in a major city.

Here's the income data for 25 to 34 year olds in Vancouver: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=111002...

We're talking about incomes of only $46k CAD. Is the author really expecting a young couple saving 9k per year to come up with a down payment on a detached home in one of the most expensive cities in the world?
There's a very big difference between having worked 2-3 years in industry and actually being an experienced expert in that industry. The latter usually takes a minimum of 5 years in my opinion. Also note the industry most MBA students come from is itself consulting or finance, although again that varies by school and degree type (part time programs, for example, tend to skew older and more toward general Fortune 1000 employee students).
So... to break down the idea, it starts with redefining energy, then leans on that definition to justify making more bitcoin.

What this means has nothing to do with energy, and everything to do with cost savings on bitcoin mining by intentionally increasing electricity load on a system based on electricity variation of renewables.

You can do that IF your goal is to get more bitcoin. But you're not storing energy by doing so. Electrically speaking, you are only a cost on the system.

My brother recently had his first kid... I think it was 4-6 years of 'trying'. His wife got pregnant the month after she had her IUD pulled, but miscarried in the first trimester. I think she had at least two or three more miscarriages, they didn't share the details with me.

Then they went for 'assisted reproduction' (in-vitro fertilization [IVF]). The first implantation lasted for a couple months, then she miscarried. The later embryos didn't take (I think they tried 2 more IVF cycles, from the frozen embryos). Eventually they gave up and started getting ready for adoption.

I went over to their house last Mothers day. They put ultrasound pictures in the box to surprise my mom. A older female friend of mine says she's seen this happen all the time: give up on 'trying', and the pregnancy will appear.

My brother and sister-in-law don't really talk to me about medical things, and I don't tell them where they're off. But I think her IUD was the "chemical castration" variety (plastic with the levonorgestrel, brand name Mirena). I never told them, "you shouldn't have trusted the pharmaceutical-industrial complex to not take your fertility away prematurely", as it was too late for that.

Progestins are sold to women as hormones that regulate their menstrual cycles, but really they're imitation hormones that suppress the menstrual cycle. Most modern women don't want a dozen pregnancies, most modern men don't want a herd of children to take care of, so FDA-approved fake hormones are an easy sell. But if we're actually concerned about the trend line from hyper-fertile to sub-fertile, being honest with women about what's in their "birth control" prescriptions is a good start.

[I hereby take credit for the anonymous edit that fixed the introduction of the Wikipedia entry for Progestogen. The fix has persisted across the years. Many others have come along to reword the introduction. Someone inserted a clarification to my edit to say that fake-hormones are used in Medicine, but my word insertion and reference are still there :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progestogen ]

Nice. Will now read about "no rentiers". I'm curious about the consensus use cases.

Most of my interest is around authenticity. Provenance, verifiability, identity, and so forth.

Ian Goodfellow articulated my own hunches, beliefs about this: Detecting fraud, fakes, lies is a non-starter. Authenticity has to be out of band. So sign your works, and then record it on some trusted blockchain.

https://youtu.be/Z6rxFNMGdn0?t=3329

Goodfellow is the first person I've read (or heard) that espouses this pretty basic, obvious position. There's apparently still a giant cohort who utterly reject authenticity. Even as opt-in. Because something something Freedom Speeches™.

I intend to learn about the consensus stuff. Like you seem to already grok. That's clearly a necessary enabler for authenticity use cases.
I agree with this assessment as a person of colour who was born in an English-speaking country. I also have a degree on English. I'm currently at a threshold where I could get better, but the margins in terms of pay-off to diminishing returns is not appealing.
My understanding of 5G has always been that it’s just more short range nodes which should provide better service in densely populated areas.

That’s pretty much it. Some telecoms seem to be positioning this as an opportunity to provide home internet access running through 5G infrastructure which would cut down on last mile costs, but at the same time it seems like it would saturate the spectrum pretty quickly.

During all the 5G hype I’ve been buying up stocks of companies based on how much backbone fiber they own, because as far as I can tell that’s where the real staying power is anyway.
The Suzuki method has been around forever. It typically targets children who don't yet know how to read period, but there's no reason an adult can't use it. It doesn't work as well with improvisation because you need to understand that improvisation is not just "different", it's different within a set of constraints. You can find this by accident but it's much easier to first understand the underlying structure, then experiment.
Yup. Geo-engineering based on solar radiation management (SRM) is probably one of the drastic options we have to try to mitigate climate change effects.

That said, the quoted paper's conclusion is that the increase in yields from reduced heating would more or less cancel out the loss in productivity from reduced sunlight. Taking that conclusion at face value, it simply says that there is no net agricultural impact from aerosel based SRM which honestly... is pretty awesome.
I do agree Half Lemons does a better job than most of the apps that tackle this problem. Specifically I think the tag layout you’ve built does make it much faster to input your ingredients when you first download.

So I did that and felt like we might be onto something! There was no confirmation button or anything, and then I realized that’s the permanent ingredient tab. Ok.

Then I went over to the recipes tab. The images are way too big, especially once you click into a specific recipe.

The ingredients list is not particularly well formatted. I think making some abbreviations with the measurements would really help.

But the biggest thing is the same issue that every ingredient inventory app runs into. For me to update my ingredients, I have to either mark a curated recipe as cooked, or manually edit the list of ingredients, which isn’t so easy because there is no searching, and some are hidden.

Here are a few suggestions.

- Add search to the ingredients tab. Make it easy to select/deselect availability directly from the search results.

- Show some core ingredients with each recipe in the recipe list. And make them buttons that I can tap or long press, so I can tell Half Lemons if I don’t have those ingredients any more.

- Do the same on each recipe, if I long press on an ingredient.
My take on the Bitclout is that it's another mechanism for people to hedge inflationary risk by pegging the value of their cash to the individual. The revolutionary idea that this project seems to get at is that anyone can create their own currency. If you think about it in those terms it's a powerful idea. It's decentralizing the decentralized financial system one step further.

But in no way I would classify this is a decentralized version of Twitter. Lot of things are not quite correct.
It seems like increasing electricity demand would also increase the incentives to keep old fossil fuel plants online.
But miners are competing for bigger slices of the pie. So more energy does mean more bitcoin (for a specific miner).

I am glad to know many things that will (most likely) never help me earn more money. The value of an education cannot be measured entirely in economic terms.

[Editing this with a re-write, as the first version was snarky, which I don't want to bring to the discussion]

Your comment is unproductive as it's largely unfalsifiable ideological rhetoric (with the personal barb "hopelessly naive" thrown in to really poison the discussion).

Granted:

Corporate influence of government is a real issue;

Corporate exploitation and mistreatment of workers is a real issue;

But also:

Democracy and government oversight of companies still exists, and still has a meaningful influence on the way companies operate;

As does the fact that, whilst many people are struggling and desperate for work, there is not, in fact, a never-ending supply of workers who are both competent/capable of doing the work that Amazon needs, but also so poor and desperate for work that they will tolerate any level of maltreatment for an extended period of time. (If your whole argument hinges on that claim, which it seems to, you need to do some more work proving it, as it's a very big claim.)

It's way late where I am so I'm exiting the discussion for some sleep, thanks.
