> Planning and constructing a new nuclear reactor takes at least 15 years and it's the most expensive and also dangerous form of energy source.

This is false. Even accounting the few catastrophic failures (including Chernobyl and Fukushima), deaths by nuclear industry can be counted in dozens.

Here is what says Wikipedia about the Fukushima aftermath :

> There were no deaths from radiation exposure in the immediate aftermath of the incident, though there were a number of (non-radiation related) deaths during the evacuation of the nearby population. As of September 2018, one cancer fatality was the subject of a financial settlement, to the family of a former station workman.

There were a few more deaths in Chernobyl but it’s mainly due to the bad management of the cleaning process.

* Altitude is essentially the same 6300km vs 6700km, so satellites aren't signficantly more spread out.

* Those 20k planes don't all fly at the same time.

* Retired / Broken planes don't fly, satellites may still be on orbit for decades.

* There are no debris flying in the sky at 11000 km/h

* Planes can adjust their path at will instantly for avoidance.

* Planes can be grounded instantly if we need to.

Orbital space is a limited resource that gets depleted very fast and recovers very slowly. We are talking about launching in the next ten years 5x the total number of satellites that were ever launched so far. I am sure humans in 50 years would still be able to launch a thing or two in space as well.

This is an actual problem, and unlike for planes, once the problem is apparent, you can't just take some of them out of the sky while you figure out a solution.

It's usually just a sorting of all possible decisions. What you don't see is how 10x of available budget dollars is being asked for by various departments that have no clear financial ROI and someone has to decide which investments to fund and what can wait. IT as a cost center can usually wait.

My guess would be that the pencils of the same property are on each shelf, and the older stuff are buried under newer ones.

For example, one of the labels says "oily pencils".

So perhaps when you go to him and ask for a purple pencil he pulls out a number of purple ones from the bunch that's relevant to you. Then he explains which one is better for you.

It's very unlikely to be faster internet (compared to what is generally available in urban/suburban America).

Ultimately, we're using radio similar to any 4G or 5G connection. There are some differences, but they probably work against satellite internet more than they work for it. Terrestrial wireless networks like Verizon or T-Mobile can easily split cells to get more capacity (install another tower and split traffic between them). It's harder to do that with satellites. Plus the satellites will be over ocean so much of the time when their capacity can't be used (and other satellites in the network will take that traffic). You do get better line-of-sight which is helpful, but the amount of capacity is somewhat limited. Elon Musk has even said that they'll "most likely" be able to serve 500,000 customers. "More of a challenge when we get into the several million user range."

These are unlikely to be services that offer a faster internet completion for people who are already well-served. Of course, there are a lot of people who aren't well-served.

Over the coming years, 5G home internet is going to become more common. T-Mobile is looking to sign up 7-8M customers which would make them the 4th largest home broadband provider. Verizon has announced that they want to cover 50M households for home internet by the end of 2024 (T-Mobile already offers home internet coverage to 30M households; also, remember that while there are 330M people in the US, there's only around 130M households). While 5G won't reach everywhere that satellite will, it will fill in some of the broadband gaps that we currently have. 5G will also offer an alternative to wired home internet in many areas.

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2021/02/isps-step-up-fig...

A lot of the interest in satellite broadband is driven by government money. The US government is offering $9.2B to expand access to 5.2M home/businesses in this one instance and there's a lot more money where that came from. The Universal Service Fund in the US shells out billions every year to companies providing rural connectivity. It might not even be that there's much interest in these programs beyond government subsidies. Of course, once the satellites are traveling over other areas, might as well make the service available and get some extra money.

Musk has said that Starlink might require a $30B investment to be viable, but might become cash-flow positive after $5-10B. $5-10B is probably well within the realm of government subsidy in the US. I mean, the government will definitely be spending much more than that subsidizing rural broadband over the coming years, but whether Starlink/SpaceX will get that money remains to be seen.

I wouldn't say this is just about poor regions. There are plenty of far-flung places that I wouldn't classify as "poor" that don't have great internet.

> Documents obtained by Der Spiegel reveal a fantastical collection of surveillance tools dating back to 2007 and 2008 that gave the NSA the power to collect all sorts of data over long periods of time without detection. The tools, ranging from back doors installed in computer network firmware and software to passively powered bugs installed within equipment, give the NSA a persistent ability to monitor some targets with little risk of detection. While the systems targeted by some of the “products” listed in the documents are over five years old and are likely to have been replaced in some cases, the methods and technologies used by all the exploit products could easily still be in use in some form in ongoing NSA surveillance operations.

>The commission is betting that instead of hordes of yellow-vest protesters taking to the streets, citizens will be willing to pay a price for cleaner air, lower emissions, and more sustainable lifestyles.

color me skeptical. Granted, I’m not European just interested in international politics , but this bill seems tilted heavily in favor of particularly Germany and also France(the mentioned protesters, I know). If they really wanted this for the good of the Bloc, their would be plans to give aid (power plants, expertise, transmitted green energy, grants for the required renovations) to the poorer members/regions. Perhaps i’m just misinformed, but wouldn’t the burden of higher petrol taxes, more ambitious targets for renewables and renovation requirements be a much greater burden on the more eastern members? This particularly seems devious:

>A requirement for countries to more quickly renovate buildings that are not deemed energy efficient

Not the development of new stricter standards that everyone should follow, just adding more pressure on those who couldn’t afford to do it promptly (because if you are required to make an efficiency upgrade, the only reason not to make it promptly and enjoy the benefits of the efficiency is if you can’t afford it.)

I’m also very very critical of carve outs.
Why should their be an exemption for low-carbon alternatives to jet fuel? Just make the tax that much higher because of the impact of high altitude emissions. Apparently their is an exemption for both Private (jfc) and Cargo jets.[1] which explains the rationale, but doesn’t make it any better.

I’m very saddened by the Carbon border tax, which seems like direct protectionism to me. I’m a huge fan of border taxes on imported goods to level the playing field (offshoring dirty business is unacceptable from an environmental standpoint), but it’s a bankrupt idea if you are applying it to only certain goods and only on Carbon. Tax them for dumping, for not being required to have sealed floors, for not having to catch fumes/dust, etc.

Using climate change to enact rules that will disproportionately affect poorer people and give carve outs to the wealthy is disgusting. This looks like class warfare to me. It’s a cowardly and entirely inadequate attempt at addressing the problem and seems to target the poorest and give carve outs for the rich.

I have run across one - of maybe a dozen terminals I've tested because I'm difficult and have very specific requirements of a terminal - that crashes on weird input. I can't even remember which one it was, because I moved on, but odds are it was while testing unusual features like Sixel or ReGIS support.

I actually think starting with recipes and following them semi-blindly is a great way to learn to cook. For a couple of reasons:

* It gives you successful experiences early in the process. It can be really disheartening to spend hours making a mess of your kitchen and end up with something unpalatable. Following tried and true recipes gets you to that amazing feeling of "I created something delicious" as quickly as possible, and I think you need that to keep motivation up.

* There are definitely many systematic aspects to cooking. Things like the French mother sauces, the role of acid, Maillard reaction, etc. But also, a lot of cooking really is just "we put these ingredients together because we've always put them together". When you think of food you love, part of the reason you love it simply is history and cultural association. Rote learning of that lore is an important part of the process and recipes are good for that.

* Much of cooking is technique—literal physical and low-level skills. Knowing how much salt to add to meat based on how the salt feels in your fingers and eyeballing the size of the cut. Knowing whether your onions are a little smaller than usual so you need 1 1/2 of them instead of just 1. Developing good knife technique so you can cut veggies efficiently and safely, which makes all cooking easier. How quickly to stir a sauce to prevent it from burning. How much to mix a batter to get it smooth but not tough. Recipes give you a safe space while you learn all of those important fundamentals. We tech nerds tend to assume all knowledge is discrete and encodable in words and concepts, but so much of cooking is not that. The nonverbal intuitive techniques are a huge aspect.

* Humans are incredible generalizers. Trust that as you "blindly" follow a few recipes, your brain is hard at work spotting patterns and commonalities. Without even realizing it, before long, you'll start seeing connections. Once that happens you'll begin tweaking recipes, and then making bigger changes, and before too long you won't need them at all.

Don't feel that you need to reinvent the entire culinary arts from first principles. There's a reason that generations of cooks have used recipes and watching each other cook as the primary ways of passing down that knowledge.

>Just like in old media. We have fox and cnn, we will have Facebook Twitter and whatever the right will build.

I don't think it's destined or even likely to end up this way. The reason there's no major conservatively aligned social media is because the vast majority of users don't care much about politics. They may vote Republican, but they don't follow Republicans on Twitter, and they ignore politically heated debates on Facebook. The number of conservatives who want to talk politics with other conservatives is not enough to sustain anything on the same scale as Twitter or Facebook.

Don't compare these services to CNN or Fox News. News inherently involves politics, so it's easy for news services to differentiate themselves with politics. Instead, think of it like Disney+ and Hulu. Which is the one for conservatives?

About time. Snap, TikTok, Twitch, and especially YouTube all have partnership programs which pay content creators directly based on how many views/subscribers/etc they have. I.e. revenue sharing. I never understood why FB thought they could plausibly compete with YT on video when the only compensation offered to low/mid-tier content creators was… likes?
Why not just develop out in the open from the start, instead of dangling an open source carrot? You might even get community contributions.
On the flip side, if you do have OpenGL, why not utilise it for unparalleled terminal performance? I've used Kitty for years for that reason, it's incredibly responsive and smooth, a pleasure to use.
While this is true in a way it is to simple. Ex. Health care, heavily regulated in Europe and hell we are glad it is if the free market would be something like in the U.S. Or credit card fees, there is to little competition in the free market we (Europeans) are glad that the fees are somewhat regulated and therefore much lower. And honestly our local internet and mobile market is not bad either, sure a more open market could lower the prices but private companies would have no interest bringing fiber or proper 4g or 5g in regions with only a handful of people, but there is. Germany for example has bad internet coverage and they given away most of the responsibility to private companies

Think of it this way: say you need to buy milk. Why would you go to my store instead of wherever you normally go? Just seeing my store sign once one week ago isn't going to compel you to drive in when you need milk again next week, even if I did mention that my milk is better in some way.

Going back to your business: I'm replying to you now but I already forgot what the business is called (I had to go back to the post to check whether you had even mentioned it). I will forget again in 30 minutes. I can recall indeed's name instantly because they've been on the radio daily for the past 3 months (and not to rain on your parade, but their pitch is the same as yours - "faster hiring"). And if not indeed, I can recall ziprecruiters name because they've also bombarded me with marketing and I can recall this small recruiting firm in Toronto because the way they reached out to me was legitimately personalized instead of the generic mailmerge crap you often see. So if I were to think "hey now I'm in need of some milk", which recruiting companies do you think will pop up in my head? That's managing top of the funnel, IMHO.
As a related anecdote, I used to perform experiments by dressing in particular ways while going out in public. If I wore a nice blazer-type jacket and generally looked more preppy, I would definitely notice different behavior as when I might dress with with a t shirt and long sleeve over it with long sleeve shirt unbuttoned. I attribute this partly to conditioning via TV show characters etc.
