There's no "viewfinder" at all, though, just the video from the sensor, right?

What makes an SLR an SLR is the combination of mirrors and prisms that makes the light from the lens go to either the viewfinder or the film/sensor. If you don't have that, I'd argue it's just a "mirrorless", aka "a plain old digital camera".

A single Nomad process can be the server (scheduler) and client (worker). Nomad can run in single server mode if highly available scheduling is not a concern (workloads will not be interrupted if your server does go down) by setting bootstrap_expect=1 (instead of 3, 5, 7, etc). You can always add more servers later to make a non-HA cluster HA. No need to use different projects to setup different clusters. Clients can be added or removed at any time with no configuration changes (people using Nomad in the cloud generally put servers in 1 ASG and clients in another ASG).

Nomad does not have a first class LoadBalancing concept in keeping with its unopinionated network model, although we may add ingress/loadbalancing someday. Right now most people use Traefik or Nginx with Consul for ingress, and Consul Connect is popular for internal service mesh. Obviously unfortunate extra complexity over having it builtin, but Nomad has been focused more on core scheduling than these ancillary services so far.
Frogs likewise. See https://www.ru.nl/hfml/research/levitation/diamagnetic-levit.... This achievement won the Ig Nobel prize for Andre Geim.

A decade later he won the Nobel prize for discovering how to create graphene using scotch tape: https://www.improbable.com/2010/10/05/geim-becomes-first-nob.... As far as I know he remains the only person to win both prizes.

An interesting side note is that neither piece of research was what his lab was supposed to be working on. He established a tradition of Friday Night wacky experiments on stuff that had nothing to do with his lab's official business, in areas of science that they knew little about.
I've long been skeptical of ITER making any sense given its insane cost. I mean even it succeeds, then what?

Here's the truth: there's no such thing as free energy. Even if the fuel is so abundant it's actually or effectively free (eg deuterium), the energy isn't. Say it takes $50B to build a plant that produces 1GW of power, which I'll estimate at about 7TWh/year based on [1]. Let's also say it has a lifespan of 40 years and an annual maintenance cost of $1B going to up to $2B in the last 10 years.

So that's 40 years for 280TWh at a cost of $100B, which equates to $0.35/kWh if my math is correct.

I realize ITER isn't a commercial power generation project. My point is that people need to stop getting hung up on the fuel being "free". The lifetime cost of the plant can still make it completely economically unviable.

Second, the big weakness of any fusion design is neutrons. The problem people tend to focus on is that neutrons destroy your (very expensive) containment vessel with (one of my favourite terms) "neutron embrittlement".

As an aside, hydrogen fusion also produces high speed helium nuclei, some of which tend to escape and this is a problem too because Helium nuclei are really small so can get in almost any material, which is a whole separate problem.

But here's another factor with neutrons: energy loss. High speed neutrons represent energy lost by the system.

To combat these problems we've looked for alternatives to hydrogen-hydrogen fusion, the holy grail of which is aneutronic fusion. The best candidate for that thus far seems to be Helium-3 fusion but He-3 is exceedingly rare on Earth.

I really think we get caught up on the fact that this is how stars work but stars have a bunch of properties that power plants don't, namely they're really big and they burn their fuel really slowly (as a factor of their size), which is why they can last billions or even trillions of years. Loose neutrons aren't really an issue in a star and sheer size means gravity keeps the whole system contained in a way that magnets just can't (because neutrons ignore magnetic fields).

So I hope they crack fusion but I remain skeptical. Personally I think the most likely future power source is space-based solar power generation.

OP isn't attempting to calculate any sort of actual market value for the options, the post just presents a method for determining how many options to grant employees by assuming:

* Investors recently paid FMV per share

* The employee's cost per share will be 409a_value

* The company is actually worth or grows into the current valuation

therefore

* Each share in the employee's grant is theoretically worth (FMV - 409a_value) to the employee

* This value can be used to determine how many shares to grant new employees given the % of base salary equity targets.

Another method might be to use different % of base salary targets and divide that equity value by the current 409a_value instead of the intrinsic value, or to offer flat % of ownership grants by role.

Mirrorless cameras are not that big these days, especially if you get a pancake lens.

"Fusion is always 50 years away" for a reason

As always it depends. If you're thinking about preprocessor macros and operator overloading from C++, sure, those can be annoying, it's more to do with C++'s implementation and usage of them than the features themselves. You might want to try Common Lisp sometime; so much of the base language is made up of macros without which programs would be neither pleasant to read or write, and the language itself provides facilities to ask "ok but what function(s) are actually going to get called with this data" so that even not-so-local things like e.g. transparent logging of a call's input/output become visible if you need to know. But CL is not a language one can pick up in a couple of days -- albeit CL shops report success in getting new hires to be productive after a week or two of reading a book and the company code, which is a common onboarding time at many companies with any language.

Programmers notoriously conflate "simple" and "easy" (classic talk: https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy/) and so I believe languages that are easy for a lot of programmers will also be perceived as simple, whether or not that's accurate.
But the 409a is a valuation of the common stock and that preferred stock investor might have liquidation preferences or other terms that de-risk their investment compared to common stock.
> It sounds like the T production chain might itself be quite messy.

It is: it's definitely the biggest challenge after plasma confinement.

> Molten isotopes salt and lead?

There are two main blanket technology in development: ceramic and liquid breeders. They're called breeders but are very different from the kind of breeders you have in a fission reactor. Both are based on converting lithium to tritium by capturing fusion neutrons, but in one case the lithium is in the form of solid pebbles, while in the other, in a molten mixture of lithium-lead (there are no salts AFAIK).

To produce more tritium than you start with you also need a neutron multiplier: beryllium in ceramic breeders and lead in liquid breeders. The problem is beryllium is rare (and also toxic): a 500MW reactor needs ~200 kg/year, which is not a lot, but there's very very little beryllium on earth. If you factor in the initial reactor inventory (170 t/reactor) it turns out ubiquitous fusion energy it's not sustainable if we choose beryllium. If you go with lithium-lead you need more material: 3 t/year (but remember lead is a lot heavier and more common too). If you plan to cover the world energy base load with fusion, you would need a lot of lead (~10% world annual production) but it's doable.

For me, the biggest problem right now is lithium: DT fusion needs lots of pure ⁶Li, which is extracted by enriching even more natural lithium. If we're not careful enough with recycling it from old batteries, we are likely to exhaust the world resources in a few decades.

> What do you do with when it goes bad? It may not go boom Chernobyl-style, but it's still far from the birds-in-the-sky deuterium-from-the-sea fusion dream.

The worst case scenario is still the loss of coolant accident (LoCA). The blanket is exposed to a ~2MW/m² heat load from the plasma (in addition to all kind of radiation), so failing to cool adequately a module means it will very rapidly turns into a (radioactive) molten mess that's not easy to handle. Yeah, it's bad but not nearly as bad as the same accident in a fission reactor.
Right, I just think scaling construction of these facilities would require infrastructure that could take a decade plus to get right.

You are right forestry is not the place we should focus right now. The main problem right now is turning off coal plants, among other CO2 reduction strategies.

As homelessness has gotten worse though, there's been noticeable encampments/vehicle caravans building up at these bathrooms.

This distrust of “politicians’ and public institutions (plus ‘the media”) is half of what’s eating away democracies all over the world. Actual corruption goes unpunished because “they are all corrupt” is easily turned from a cynical accusation into an excuse. Bitcoin is turning coal into flooding because people are afraid of the monetary crises of the 1920s (hyperinflation) and spooked by even the silliest conspiracy myths (“the FED is a private bank”).

So, yes, measures of inflation aren’t perfect. But it’s “not perfect” in the most trivial sense: even some well-chosen single item (Big Mac?) gets you a measure of inflation that will be close enough most of the time. The actual basket improves it from maybe 90 % perfect to 98 %.
I think there’s an incorrect assumption in there, that the people blowing the whistle for the last 30 years have been the people calling the shots.

The world isn’t coming to an end but our cozy place in it might very well be.

Nuclear power should have been the only thing built by rich countries for the last 5 decades but of course there are real dangers regarding the unreliability of us humans as maintainers and operators.

I understand that, but if a container of food shrinks by an ounce or two over time most won't buy an entire extra one to make up the difference.

If you could buy all food by weight this would be easier to notice and make an apples to apples comparison. Hat's off to the parent comment if they even tracked it down to the exact amount of food and kept it consistent for years.

Most people set a budget of $X dollars of food that is rather generous and if they get slightly less food they don't notice because they are already buying an excess of calories most of the time.

An MRI machine has a very uniform field inside the magnet, and a very strong gradient outside as the field curls back on itself. If you move your head back and forth outside the end of the bore, it causes dizziness, by inducing eddy currents in the brain (I've not done it myself, I'm very risk averse, but I've seen others doing it). I'd be much more worried about moving through a very strong gradient, spatially or temporally, than about the absolute field strength. Human made sustained field strengths are generally not dangerous, if the field is uniform. For example there is human and animal imaging at 7T , although lower field strengths are more common (the limiting factor, other than making the static field, is generally the RF frequency, which gets higher with field strength and introduces other issues as it does)

Cars are the overwhelming majority of batteries produced. Supercharging doesn't need batteries.

I don't have exact number but my guess is that of all Tesla consumed batteries 80-90% is far cars.

So even if you take a much more absurdly optimistic assumptions, the announced package for Toyota is only 1-2 million cars. That is 20% of their output in cars today.
The way I look at it, chemicals which my ancestors have been exposed to for hundreds and thousands of years come with a lower risk than those which have just been synthesized and were not naturally occurring before the last century.

And yes, based on watching closely for inflammation effects, I have mostly cut coffee, red meat, processed meat, bread, beer, dried fruit, synthetic nitrates, non-organic produce, cell phones (but not wifi).

I do smoke weed occasionally, but I think I take in less smoke than someone living with a campfire, something my ancestors have dealt with on many occasions.

I don't think fruits and veggies which have been consumed for centuries and millennia are that dangerous.

Generally speaking, I think of bodies as "production environments" with "known good inputs" which have worked in the past, and everything else is basically "testing in production".

Also

and

Now, maybe he misspoke and didn't mean shocked but rather meant that Levine disagreed with categorizing it as a security, but given that first quote I think even that extremely kind reading of his comment would have no standing.

I thought Zeno's paradox was caused by lack of understanding of infinitesimal calculus by Ancient Greeks?

Divergent series like yours shouldn't constitute such a paradox, since they both have an infinite number of elements AND diverge.

Research being published in any old journal is not the same as merging a patch into main.

As I pointed out in another thread, the journals he published his work to were low tier, open access journals. Anyone can start a journal, and these journals will accept almost any research that's on topic.

So if I were to stretch the metaphor, it's more like he found some fork of the official Linux repository, he submitted a patch that the maintainer just merged in without thinking, and then he used this to show how easy it is to get malicious code into the official Linux repo.
A vaccine isn't a "medicine". You only are exposed to about 25-100ug of payload which is an incredibly small dose, once or twice. That doesn't compare to taking 100s of mg of something once or twice a day for weeks/months/years. Neither does it compare with eating whatever you buy off of grocery shelves that might be synthetic, which is going to be higher doses and more chronic.

The mRNA sticks around for a day or three and then its all effectively gone and the 'infected' cells are disassembled by the immune system. The only thing that remains is the immune reaction, and the side effects (other than the rare immediate anaphylaxis) will be autoimmune reactions triggered by exposure to the antigen.

And we have 250 years of experience with vaccines and we've studied autoimmune conditions for many years, and there's a whole field of medicine devoted to it. And based on all that experience we know what kinds of side effects there could be and that they all show up within 3 months of exposure to the antigen. That is why vaccines don't need more than 3-6 months of a trial in order to determine safety (they often need much longer to determine efficacy).

If you get sick 6+ months after getting vaccinated then it wasn't the vaccine.

I also would take the mRNA vaccine over the Sinopharm, there's far more antigens in Sinopharm or viral vector vaccines that your body has never been exposed to. There's much less different types of antigens in the mRNA vaccines to trigger autoimmune effects. You're likely thinking about the risks backwards. The worrisome thing isn't the american pharmaceutical industry, the bigger issue is the entirely alien (to your body) proteins in the pandemic virus.
