This can be right in Germany. But France or China are nuclear friendly, and their costs are rising as much as everywhere else.

Lets talk about the Flamanville Unit 3: the new plant was approved long ago, and its construction began on 2007 (planned to end in 2012). No bureaucracy, no extra regulations, no restrictions. Built by EDF which is to say by the France gobernment, as they own 90% of EDF), budgeted 3.3 billions.

- 2012, costs escalated to 8.5 billion. Delayed to 2016.

- 2014, delayed to 2017 due to Areva failure on delivery. Areva is owned by the french gobernment, who lost a lot of taxpayer money on it.

- 2015, the french gobernment detected structural problems in the vessel. Detected multiple failures in cooling systems. Cost increased to 10.5 billion, finishing delayed to 2018.

- Due to delays, loans required more guarantees in 2017. The french gobernment agreed, and deemed the plant "safe to start" even before tests, to appease investors.

- 2018, leaks detected in tests. Costs rose to 11 billion, opening delayed until 2019.

- 2019, more leaks detected, costs of repairment rose to 12.4 billion.

- 2020, a gobernment audit estimated that the costs would rise to 19 billion, and it will be charged via taxes to the french citizens. Plant still not working.

This is the history of a nuclear power plant heavily favoured by the gobernment, with costs multiplying by 7 in fifteen years (and rising). All of it while having to compete with solar and eolic technologies that are naturally falling in costs year after year.

Same happened in USA Vogtle, and taxpayers end up eating the overcosts.

Nuclear plants are, economically, a suicide for any society. They are cheap to run, but they are extremely complex monsters that costs a lot to build, even in the most favourable scenario.

Our pool of cheap, abundant, reliable and safe electricity seems more real with eolic and PV than with nuclear. I have more faith in "each-house-with-a-PV-roof-and-batteries" than in "100%-nuclear".

Notice that I didn't even menction waste, accidents, costs of fuel, fearmongering, etc. in my posts. Just plain economics.

And a kind reminder of how terribly wrong you are about bravery at war: it does not distinguish armies or colors, it’s an individual attribute of the soldier. It’s never an attribute of the army or a faction. Talk to any professional military if you have any doubt.
I am just a lay man interested in the field, but like it sort of makes sense that you can have logical rules and inference, like I mean the whole point of AI as usually conceptualized was that they understood logic, like insert your fav Dr Who/Star Trek joke here, but briefly speaking what happened? I get the charm of ML/DL but it's essentially like data fitting or something. Wouldn't you expect logic in AI? What went wrong and what is the state of the art now?

Probably not. NNs right now are just glorified pattern matching/curve fitting. Getting to a generalized AI is some serious "draw the rest of the owl" work.
What's tragic here is that the author is complaining about one ad-infested, tracker-infested piece of trash of a product, on another ad-infested, tracker-infested piece of trash that is Medium.

Why the the fuck people still write on Medium even though it prevents people from reading content after a few times without either paying or logging in is beyond me.
Everyone is just posting stories today. So when I open Instagram I don't get pictures and updates from people I care about but I do actually get a wall full of ads. Sometimes there is no actual content for 20+ posts. Nothing that could actually interest me.

I cannot help but laugh at this original and non-facile joke I have definitely not heard a million times before.

> it's just extremely uncommon/unusual to buy a piece of genuine media when you already having a working pirate copy.

Probably, but in my case I don't play games often, so if I buy something I'll end up ignoring it after a few minutes 99% of the time. Pirating and buying after I finish is a good way to tell for sure if I'll like it before I buy.
I think the defense attorney example seems to be a bit of an exception. Even in that scenario, the law also requires a prosecutor. The partiality of each opposing side is required for the system itself to be impartial, and if the defense attorney has a sense of ethics, they will only participate if they know that someone else is arguing the prosecution's side as well (or if they're about to run out of food and have no other alternatives, but that's a different story).

Re moral imperatives and tradeoffs: even these guys had a code of ethics https://www.bullmarketgifts.com/Framed-Enron-Code-of-Ethics-... The "ethical thing to do" does not always come from a book or a committee, instead it's dictated by the moral principle most specific to the situation at hand and taking into consideration the widest breadth of weighted personal interests and needs. In any case, I'm not sure I agree with this statement "just about every professional ethics committee or handbook would tell you to uphold your NDA". Nor do I believe that I can speak for just about every committee without consulting them beforehand, so I can't know what they would come up with in this situation.

In the end, I just fail to see why ethics in the professional world should receive special treatment. Different domain, same principles and rules.
Dude the article is about Virgin Galactic, not Musk/Bezos. There are no subsidies involved.

Btw do you think the US should pay $400 million/launch for Crew Dragon or $1.5 billion/launch for the Space Shuttle? I know which one I'd pay :)

How about SLS's $2 billion/launch + fixed costs vs Starship?
> things still are in such disarray so long after they retreated

What is “so long”? Reading online, I see that Ethiopia was not fully colonized, but Europe/UK were attacking and meddling in its affairs even in the 1930s.

What most of the West doesn’t realize, is that colonization is majorly impactful and leads to disarray for decades, if not centuries. Countries need time to stabilize, after being systematically dismantled and robbed by colonizers.
Suborbital flight could be used for intercontinental travel. But it would probably take something on the scale of Starship, not a teeny little rocket plane.
There needs to be regulation for sure, but that means holding everyone accountable, private space companies and governments. US, Russian and Chinese government programs have already created more debris than private companies could afford even if they tried. The 2007 Chinese anti-missile test alone left a debris field with over 35000 pieces larger than 1 cm, hundreds of them of really significant size. This was intentional! Private companies on the other hand will do everything to avoid collisions and further debris, it goes against their financial interest and only hinders their own operations.

It wasn't. The main purpose of the original space race was to develop capabilities to put satellites in orbit and to be able to deliver nuclear warheads on ballistic missiles, which both countries considered (rightly or wrongly) to be existential necessities.
The submitter of this issue [1] reported that 64GB of RAM was insufficient to load an 18GB PBF. Considering the planet PBF is 58GB, you're going to need a lot of RAM (and time).

I tried the example tilemaker config (4 layers, zoom 11-14) on the 519MB Australia PBF. My 24 thread PC took a little under 20 minutes to finish generating 773,576 tiles, using about 10GB of RAM.

Hasn't the US been subsidizing NASA and at this point hasn't it become clear that the Musk route is delivering a lot more?

No, but it is the third option you ommited: mostly women (doing that).

It often makes sense to solve the smaller problem you can change rather than the larger problem which is too hard.

The premise is inspiration, I think:

> I want people to be able to look back at our beautiful Earth and come home and work very hard to try to do magic to it to look after it.

Perhaps similar to how space-x inspires many of us here. The big difference being Virgin's actual _goal_ is inspiration... which does feel a little artificial I admit.
Which are barely "compute", but very nice for redirect-rewrite-add-headers type stuff. Like mruby in h2o, lua/js in various nginx modules and so on.

Probably because their ship hasn't got the legs to do it. Even Starship needs a detachable first stage booster.
Those are contacts. NASA is buying a service (hauling some tech to space and testing it) because it would be more expensive for NASA to do this by itself. Even if NASA had more funding, paying a company that can carry out the task more efficiently would still be the right thing to do

I'll go ahead and leave this thread. You're being extremely disingenuous with your evidence and just throwing stuff at the wall hoping something will stick
Yes and no. But I do avoid buying products which price is mostly based on their advertisment budget. So in the end yes, never bought anything suggested from an Instagram or Facebook ad. However I only get shown absolute bullshit that has zero relevance to me (prolly because of blocking so much of the tracking)

NASA is pretty hamstrung in favor of subsidizing private space exploration built off of NASA and others research and continuing to develop through in large part US government contracts. Musk is a huckster. His engineers have done a great job figuring out reverse rocketry and a bunch of other stuff. He launched "his" (stolen) car into space to punk someone.

Sure. Seeing those rockets land is amazing. I don't think we need to follow the bro smoking blunts on Joe Rogan into our future. I think he's a dangerous person and it shouldn't be left up to him how we move into space flight. Also he shouldn't be able to own the IP. Starlink is a short sighted endeavor that is going to really fuck up a lot of stuff.

Musk is the worst offender really. His blatant lies about what the Starship can do and what he can accomplish are constant. You only need to look at what his hustle was with the solar roofs and solar city to see what his values are.

Common Sense Skeptic on Youtube has done a pretty good job cataloging the problems with what Musk is trying to do. I guess I'd recommend that if you are interested.

In those days Microsoft had a "curious" business strategy. They wanted Windows to be the dominant standard whilst trying to avoid monopoly litigation. So they'd charge everyone a license fee knowing that standard businesses would pay up, and those that wouldn't or couldn't were allowed to crack the software and use it. That portion of the market, the "piracy" sector wasn't in their view part of their market share numbers (they would say they weren't a monopoly). But having this in place meant it was harder for competitors to sub-divide the market into other Operating Systems and Enterprise productivity software. So it would end up as either Open Source or Windows. This is why they didn't reduce their prices for purchasing power parity purposes (to make it equally affordable in each market). The rich countries could drive their profits, and everyone else had a "free" ride just to shut the door on a competitor.

Of course, the history of Microsoft and Anti-trust litigation is well documented. Things didn't entirely work out for them.
There are people who are willing to pay for spotify. The problem with Spotify and other streaming services is that they don't offer quality ( they offer opus). Want to hear a song ? If you're lucky you get mp3 (or opus) quality. Want to stream a movie ? Depends on your ISP, weather and other factors. All streaming services offer "up to". Nothing is guaranteed. I also have " gigabit " internet. If I'm lucky i get a couple (2-3) of hundred MB/s. Usually is 7-800 kB/s.
I wonder why they left the debugging stuff in live release builds. Common best practice for Android is to have a separate build flavor with debug settings and layouts, and make sure they aren't included in live builds.

Because many environmentalists are so unwilling to accept a massively imperfect solution that getting their buy-in would be as futile as trying to build affordable housing in San Francisco.

There’s ads on Medium? I’ve never seen any. BTW you can easily open an article in incognito mode, to bypass the login-wall.

They do however use analytics, like any other platform that wishes to quantify engagement and provide value to their content creators.
It might be doable with 256GB. I've tried with my 144GB machine and it's too slow to be feasible. But ultimately I think 128GB will be achievable... I've got a few ideas that could potentially reduce memory usage.

For whole-planet scale, the traditional approach is to load the OSM data into a Postgres database, and then serve vector tiles from there.

Depending on whether their CPU usage figures include waiting for memory accesses, any savings in RAM usage might be worth it: current systems do have a lot less memory bandwidth than CPU power, so it is preferable to compute more and load/store less. If their using less RAM also translates to using fewer loads/stores and more computations from registers (which they hint at), this optimisation might be a bigger win than it looks at first.

“Digital piracy and the digital copying of cultural products for private use is a refusal to pay rent-tribute to knowledge capitalists. Therefore, piracy is miss-naming of the phenomenon. The sea pirates take away by force others' properties. The digital “pirates” only use universal commons which have been artificially fenced off. They just remove fences, and by doing so they do not take away knowledge, because, knowledge cannot be taken away. They use something which by its nature belongs to the whole of humanity. The producer of knowledge uses knowledge, as “raw” material, which is part of the general intellect of humanity as a whole and the produced knowledge itself becomes immediately part of this general intellect. Therefore, the fencing of knowledge is, essentially, more similar to the traditional piracy. The knowledge capitalist fences off, with help of the force of law, universal commons that does not exclusively belong to her/him. Therefore, s/he robs commons.

To put it bluntly, digital piracy takes back that which has been stolen from the public. Therefore, although illegal, it is morally and ethically justified. The very fact that public ethics and the bourgeois property rights contradict each other on this matter evidences that such rights are superfluous in our era of digital technology. In this way, the digital piracy and digital counterfeiting is an important economic-social movement of our time.

This movement is expressed in various ways including the following. First millions of individuals around the world, understanding and believing that they are not involved in theft, copy things for individual uses. The historical, cultural and political significance of this practice can hardly be exaggerated. It undermines the moral and ethical legitimacy of the bourgeois intellectual property in the very pours and veins of everyday life. Digital piracy is a major force of the growth of knowledge and culture, on the one hand, and the self-improvement of the individual on the other. Second, “pirate” activists illegally copy fenced off knowledge and make it available for a global public on the net. A good example was Gigapedia digital library on the net, which was created by activists who scanned books. These activists are either from poorer countries or classes, or our era’s Robin Hoods from privileged countries and classes. Aaron Swartz was one such Robin Hood. The very massive and online and offline protests against SOPA in the USA and ACTA (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement ) in the European Union, and their temporary success, are evidence of the moral legitimacy of digital piracy and digital counterfeiting."

Li storage is currently only really used for grid stability style installations at the gird-scale level (ie, as an alternative to gas-peaker plants).

Li is convenient for residential installations, but it's possible other batteries are better at industrial and grid scale.

Lazard's latest (2020) levelized energy cost comparison[1] shows the unsubsidised cost comparing like this:

Nuclear: $129-$198 MWh (1st chart)

Solar Wholesale PV + Storage: $188-$329 MWh.

This excludes the (huge) further price reductions in PV noted in the linked article. The wholesale solar does include flow batteries as well as Li storage.

The whole storage report[2] is worth reading[2].

While I see what you mean, a BBS was an inherently local thing, unless you fancied paying long-distance fees even if a distant BBS would accept LD calls at all.
