> One nice thing that sqlite being dynamicly typed allows for, is having a key-value table for storing singleton objects, like project config (as opposed to having a well defined table with a single row).

If you need to store singleton objects, wouldn't you just serialize manually to a string representation and store them as TEXT? A fancier solution would be something like the JSON type in Postgres.

I fail to see how sqlite's dynamic types are helping at all in this scenario.

Relevant line: "The crossbow, which was found intact this week, could have shot an arrow up to 2,600 feet."

The "modern-day rifle" is a summary of the linked-to page saying: "The strong crossbow can shoot up to seven or eight hundred meters, which is twice the effective range of the AK47."

The AK-47's design is 70 years old, with an effective range of 350 m - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AK-47 .

What about somethings a bit more modern than that?

The AK-47's replacement is the AK-74, with an effective range of 800 m (area target) and 3,150 m maximum range - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AK-74 .

An M16 has an effective range of 2,625 feet for an area target, says https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M16_rifle , and a maximum firing range of 3,937 yards.

As https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossbow points out, "Han soldiers were required to pull a crossbow with a draw weight equivalent of 76 kg (168 pounds) to qualify as an entry level crossbowman."
Do you support mandatory cavity searches after every shopping trip? Property laws are important, you should do your part to uphold them.
Yeah, I could see a passthrough thing, where you had an edge connector (or something), that was the 8-pins for networking and two for +5V and the backplane was just a +5 rail, and the rj45 jack right next to each slot. As a zero experience with PCB design kind of person, this seems relatively simple. You could make a 'one blade backplane' with a PoE kit for the single/small number of devices case where PoE makes more sense.

Hm, reading that, it doesn't seem to disprove or actually illuminate that much IMO:

Misconception #1: I assume this is listed first because it is the biggest reason Thorium reactors weren't pursued? But really most MSR people seem to view it as political, and the bullet points in "Misconception #1" only underline that.

Misconception #2: Almost all MSR presentations seem to assume a fissile "ignition" supply of uranium, that isn't hidden. And it seems to dovetail with the political opposition, since the regulatory agencies will block the supply of fissile uranium to start an MSR with. So this point seems to again highlight artificial/bureaucratic blockades.

Miconception #3: Well, ok, this seems to be a decent answer based on the fundamentals of the science and engineering.

Misconception #4: This seems to ignore the fact that a very very small amount of uranium is naturally fissile, while the Thorium all breeds to fissile. It also spouts off about seawater extraction, which hasn't happened AFAIK. This answer seems very misleading.

Plus, the fact the author is from a competing design (a pebble design I believe, and one of the reasons pebble designs seem to exist is because of the prohibition on research labs from booting up a liquid reactor).

I do agree the unknowns are the vessel degradation from the salts, but materials engineers these days are just so amazingly good.

It just seems frustrating that the overarching influence of regulatory agency stubbornness and lobbying influence of solid fuel rod reprocessors and other fuel makers (who have a monopoly on nuclear fuel production I believe due to the regulatory agencies) is evident in this article.

If it is true that China gets breeder/thorium/liquid reactors going, it all doesn't matter. The US will be a decade behind, and with the anti-nuclear opinions of the US voting populace, that will afford the entrenched interests cover to keep suppressing nuclear.

I suppose it doesn't matter right now. Solar/Wind/Battery is improving so quickly you can't forecast/target a price/budget for a reactor design that is invariably 5-10 years out.

Give fuel fires the same coverage as EV fires. Every gas station catching on fire or exploding. Every car spontaneously catching fire. Every home burned down because a fuel burning vehicle caught fire in the garage.

Just give proportional air time to incidents based on fires per vehicle.

This one BEV got half an hour of air time during the week? Why aren’t there a hundred hours of fuel burning vehicles catching fire?

This one BEV came off the road at high speed, hit a tree and all the occupants died? Why aren’t there an equal number of minutes for the non-BEV fatal single vehicle accidents?

I lived for years in various SEA countries. Most are significantly poorer that USSR/Russia ever was, lacking infrastructure (basic necessities like electricity, tap water, internet, access to medical care, good roads, etc). Many of them are also highly authoritarian. E.g. Cambodia, which is authoritarian, lacks electricity (even in the capital blackouts are frequent and long, in the summer they happen every day for the duration of the whole workday!), there's no qualified medical care (free or non-free whatsoever), no education (even highly expensive "western" schools are worthless, and I know from experience that there work many drunkards, drug addicts and pedophiles from the West).

Nevertheless Russian expats are praising these third world countries as "best in the world" and endlessly vilify Russia. In fact, vilifying Russia is the main talk topic everywhere where 2 or more Russian expats gather, main reason why I avoid making friends with Russians abroad. You can easily find lots of proofs on Facebook and travel forums.

The trick is for that dev to take the London job for £100k. Most people are clever enough to tune in to the market rate. A few outliers won't wreck things as that person who takes a job at a low salary will have lots of opportunities to learn the market rate and then move in order to get it. The bigger the disparity between their new rate and the market rate, the more the incentive to move.

Also, FYI we aren't yokels who get paid half as much up here ;)
Definitely, even without screening, the first step should be a prescription for basic OTC nutrients for which people are often deficient and that are associated with depression, zinc, vitamin D etc...

Similarly, most of the time people leave the doctor with a prescription for paracetamol and an advice to monitor the symptoms and come back a short while after if the symptoms don't improve.

It's simply a low cost and efficient first step of the diagnostic.

This town meeting driven zoning is ridiculously unique to America. In most places there's a faceless bureaucracy that decides whether the to issue the permit or not. They mechanistically check the zoning and other regulations and that's it. The neighbors can go to court if they seriously think the bureaucracy missed something.

Think about the end game here - we have evidence of ~4 covid viruses that have adapted to humans, one of which may have been responsible for an epidemic a couple of 100 years ago. Now days they are relatively benign, they make up part of what we call "the common cold".

This is historical evidences that covid viruses in humans evolve to become relatively benign, likely this happens faster if we let it kill more people more quickly, but, well, modern medicine. So what will it take for the current covid variant to reach this state - we'll need it to evolve a benign version that out competes the current covid-delta .

A benign version of a virus that out competes its more lethal cousins is something that we also call a "live vaccine".

So why shouldn't we help it along? if we know it's going to happen naturally why not make it happen faster? past attempts to generate live vaccines have mostly worked but have not always gone well, but they were made with technologies that essentially consisted of whacking them with a mallet and hoping they would stay dead - the mRNA vaccines are much more like engineering. Why not take an existing relatively benign vaccine and fit it out with a protein coat similar enough to C19 and release that?

Obviously this is not something one would do blindly, it would require lots of testing, especially with immunocompromised people. And testing (without releasing it early) would be hard - tested people would need to remain in lockdown.

Of course the crazy anti-vaxxers would scream bloody blue murder - but given that their current propaganda already paints the current vaccines as "live vaccines" and warns people to stay away from the vaccinated that horse would seem to have already bolted

I'm not surprised. I've been using a cargo bike for bringing my kids to a from school/kindergarten and I would definitely agree that in a city traveling by cargo bike is definitely faster than a car. This is true in particular in the morning and afternoons.

The most annoying thing are actually parents in their cars (often big SUVs) dropping kids off in their kids at school. They seem to almost completely loose sense of their surroundings, because they are in such a rush to find a park and get their kids out of the car. It really seems only a matter of time until something serious happens (I'm reasonably safe, but there are also a lot of kids walking around).

Must be one hell of a pandemic if that is a greater incentive than immunity.
Yes, this is not a technology failure but a top to bottom management failure. Here's a juicy quote:

"Another source says their only contact with the central office was an American executive, who would visit every few months, buy the team pizza and then ask them to double their workload"

I guess if they were following the infamous Bezos rule, it would have been just one pizza as well.

So, yes there are some challenges with drone deliveries; but flying stuff from A to B with an autonomous drone is pretty much a solved problem. Substitute stuff with people and that's going to be a reality soon as well. A couple of autonomous drone manufacturers were showing off their products at the Oskosh air show recently.

There are challenges related to non technical issues like certification, where to fly, when to fly, how to price, how to identify suitable places to land and drop the packages, etc. But that should all be solvable.
Vaccination:

- Reduces disease incidence by 8x

- Reduces hospitalisation incidence by 25x

- Reduces mortality incidence by 25x

Whether or not SARS-COV-2 becomes endemic and chronic isn't clear, though that does appear a possibility. It's been detected in 40% of tested wild deer population in 2021 across four US states:

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.29.454326v1....

A persistent animal reservoir in North America, and presumably, other continents, in multiple species (deer are simply where we've looked so far), would suggest a substantial risk of chronic Covid, continuously evolving and mutating. My own very nonexpert concern is that COVID-19 will be with us for at least another 2--3 years and quite possibly well beyond that.

Get the jab already.

Mandating an unapproved novel 'vaccine' while removing all responsibility from the manufacturers for the side effects is extremely reckless toward others.
Thanks for answering. I do feel that government isn't anywhere near organised enough to exercise this sort of control. I've worked for a couple of different government organisations and they are in general, people who just want to do their job and go home. Like I'm not sure why vaccination cards would be the thing I'd choose if I wanted to control a population, that already has a myriad of different controls anyway (drivers license, tax records etc), when you travel overseas you already need vaccination records for various things, or when you send kids to school. The lifetime of injections is not guaranteed at this stage either, no doubt a better vaccine will come along. Thanks for answering anyway, I'm curious why this is such an emotional issue for some people.

I am a massive LFTR stan, but we have to recognize that, EROEI aside, the total economics of nuclear aren't competitive in the current regulatory framework in the US versus alternative energy. I agree that theoretically those EROEI figures are correct/achievable, but PWR/LWR has so poisoned the brand of fission that we can't get those right now.

We'll need a stable price target (and maybe paranoia of the Chinese) to get LFTR and better reactor design actually economical and the necessary political reforms.

"Don't take the unproven, unjustified drug" is the default position in medicine. You are trying to shift the burden of proof here and it's embarrassing.

YOU are making at least 3 positive claims when advocating vaccination for those with prior COVID infections:

1) COVID natural immunity breaks historical patterns of natural immunity in similar infectious disease
2) People with "only" natural immunity are at significant risk of severe reinfection
3) There is a risk-adjusted, significant benefit for those with "only" natural immunity to get vaccinated

Counterpoint: given that millions of people have died the amount of testing the vaccines received was disproportionate. Looking at the immense effect the vaccine had on reducing mortality and the miniscule side effects (including the brain hemmorage deaths from AstraZeneka), I really wished in retrospect we would have accelerated approval so that the vaccine could have been available in the fall/winter 2021. Production capacities not withstanding this could have saved a lot of lives (for instance more than 50.000 in Getmany) and potentially prevented/lessened some of the waves that caused Delta and other variants.

We were overcautious with the vaccines, it has cost us hundreds of billions in economic damages.
The ability? Sure but people with enough real substance in their lives have a much much greater motivation to manage their drug consumption. When you don't have much to lose, it becomes easy to don't give a fuck about the eventual problems of comedown, showing up to work, etc. And this uncaring aimlessness, short-term thinking is itself a sign of mental health problems.
