Why are you leaving out the context that the principal defense alliance is with America specifically in defense against Russia? Furthermore, it's not just US pressure, much of Eastern Europe has been pushing against the NS2. Claiming that the US is acting purely in self serving motives is wildly disingenuous.

Nuclear (fission) beats out solar for the most part in terms of CO2 equivalent per kW/h of energy generation. The 6-grams CO2 equivalent per kW/h figure assumes the panel is in ideal conditions (receiving sun for all sun-up hours during the year at equatorial to middle latitudes and operating at a fixed temperature). For a place like Finland, Norway, or Sweden, this goes up 50-grams CO2 equivalent per kW/h (less power produced over lifespan given a fixed manufacturing footprint). Nuclear is at 4-grams per kW/h. Wind is also about 4-grams per kW/h (again, assuming ideal conditions).

Meanwhile, the most efficient coal fired plants are like 700 grams of CO2 per kW/h and most are at 1000-1200 grams per kW/h...
Yeah, bring that argument when Norway occupies the Crimean peninsula.
it only works for initial indentation, so people that like columnar layouts are kinda screwed. auto-tabbing tools will take n-spaces and turn them into a tab, which screws up stuff.

lets just take the whole idea one step further and either use tools that reformat based on agreed upon styles (meaning a developer could reasonably take the source, preject it into their preferred style and project it back out again).

or store the canonical version as structured data in a database and always project it into some text for viewing.

broader adoption of formatters has drastically reduced the number of pointless and emotional formatting arguments I've gotten into. lets push that further.
A Broken Process, Broken Down (2018)
Don't you see? It's not incompetence, it's a security measure!
It's worth saying that the UK has essentially no long-standing history of direct plebiscite / national referendum as a democratic process. Ironically, the first I'm aware of was the 1975 vote on EC membership.

You're right that there was no referendum for the Treaty of Maastricht which formally created "the European Union", but I think that places undue significance on that single event in terms of the trajectory of the European communities.

Personally, I don't think the Brexit referendum was unfair (what does that even mean?).

I do think that "the Brexit that was voted for" (i.e. the Leave platform) was quite different from "the Brexit that we got", and I therefore have some sympathy with those who ask for another vote. Whether the difference between the two versions of Brexit is down to deliberate lies, misunderstanding of the scope and complexity, wrong expectations about the ease of concluding agreements with trade partners, I cannot even begin to guess.
I commend you for changing your opinion. That is no small task these days.
>Nuclear power is too expensive

Nuclear plant construction is too expensive, sure. Running existing nuclear plants instead of shutting them down before EoL is not too expensive. What we are talking about in Germany is the latter.

"Free exchange of ideas... best and only way to bring out the truth."

I don't believe this to be true. I only think the 1A is a good idea because it's too easy for an authoritarian government to co-opt speech restrictions. The free exchange in itself isn't what I care about.

People on the whole are pretty stupid, tribal and irrational creatures. I see no reason why a free exchange of ideas can't sometimes lead to a fascist or communist state if certain ideas get enough social contagion.

Recurring card payments to be affected in India from October 1
hm - I'm at a startup with plan/release/build. The truth is...there are almost no abrupt new features. If something is truly a new feature - it's gonna move into planning. We've had 1 instance in my 8 months on the team with an abrupt-ish full-on feature (that I know of at least). I worked on it - there was a lot of communication with me about the scope/timeline/expectations. The feature fit into an offering we have at a beta stage - so it helped us expand something we were working on broadly anyways and was in service of winning a particularly good logo/customer. Again - this is super rare for us, but broadly - we simply communicate priority and have alignment about working on the most important things first. Generally, someone is picking up the feature that's coming off some piece of work or is working on something low stakes. Other abrupt stuff comes up - generally if it's limiting a customer's ability to utilize our product - we prioritize it.

I think you want to have a culture where abrupt new features are incredibly rare.
I like Sabine, but I found her "takedown" of the multiverse/MWI ignored the most compelling argument for it, the computational argument proposed by Deutsch, and that was enough to make me skeptical of her other positions. Anybody know if she's ever addressed that anywhere?

You don't have to compare the steps they took, you have to think about what the US would do if Russia gets involved in elections in Mexico or Canada.
I’d suggest you should listen to what the drivers, refinery, and actual garage staff say. I think you’ll get much closer to the truth.

Tesco aren’t rationing petrol due to the “driver crisis”. They are rationing it due to the media telling people to go and panic buy petrol.

As you can see in the article, the only one with driver issues is BP. Other petrol stations have plenty. Yet they are all affected because of the media whipping consumers into panic.

And as you can see in the article, BP reports that “between 50 and 100 stations affected”. Out of 1200!!! That’s not even newsworthy, yet the media are whipping and whipping.

Can you see the issue with the following…

> Petrol stations operated by Morrisons, The Co-op, Sainsbury’s and Asda also said they had no current issues with their fuel supplies, the BBC reported.

> LARGE FONT ALL BOLD! ‘Rapidly worsening crisis’

> Jim McMahon, Shadow Transport Secretary, described the lorry driver shortage as a “rapidly worsening crisis” that required urgent Government attention.

So the petrol stations say it’s all fine, and the article shouts “RAPIDLY WORSENING CRISIS”. This, as I say, is disgraceful reporting, and is shouting “fire” in a crowded theatre where there is no fire.
I think the cultural background of a guy is what make people smarter or to believe bullshit. Not a test or a game but the previous life/culture.

> Since the last will shut down next year, I would assume the plans are locked in by now.

Sadly, I assume you're correct.

> Nuclear has some advantages for base loads in some scenarios, but it cannot really compete with renewables down the road.

To be clear, I would love it if we could power everything off of solar and wind, but we still don't have any scalable technology for storing weeks worth of energy which means that solar and wind cannot be used for base load generation. Hydro simply doesn't have the capacity. Nuclear is the only clean energy option for base load for the foreseeable future. Hoping for a storage tech breakthrough in the coming decades isn't a plan; we should really be investing in nuclear and storage in case one of those two don't pan out.

Even today, there are some interesting Small Modular Reactor (SMRs) which allow nuclear plants to be built more quickly, safely, compactly, and efficiently than traditional nuclear plants. We should build some of these and iterate on them while simultaneously investing in solving the storage problem.

Depends on where you live. Farmers in the US typically have around 8000 liters petro on their farm in various grades. They have a contract with a local company to keep those tanks full of whatever the correct fuel for the current season is. When it is a long way to town and many vehicles never go to town having your own private fuel station starts to make sense.
We might do well to switch to non-age segregated groups and non-organized situations, but "being on Zoom" doesn't seem to meet the requirements in either case.

We've got much smaller family sizes than 100-150 years ago, and much less "go run around town with your friends", so for better or worse, in-person school is the main form of non-virtual socialization a lot of kids get outside of their parents.

It's self created...

Nuclear is a great option; unfortunately renewables need a high amount of storage capacity AND expensive other minerals AND space AND particular environments.

That being said, renewables are great if you can set them up. For instance, I'm building a hydroelectric & solar system on my farm. That does not mean I think it's for everywhere.

Nuclear, Coal and Natural Gas are going to be necessary for northern climates and many regions due to environmental factors.

This is a solid first effort. I'm curious to experiment with it.

Couple of details though:

1. The diagram for DMARC shows that an email is only delivered if it passes both SPF and DKIM. That's not accurate. It only needs to pass one of them.

Emails that you send, but don't control the final delivery such as email user groups and forwarding address like collegiate "alumni" addresses, will fail your domain's SPF but pass DKIM.

Likewise if DKIM is missing a receiving server doesn't have any way to know if it was supposed to be there. DMARC takes out the guess work.

People will reference your documentation as authoritative and it's critically important that you get that right.

2. I LOVE the one click "disable email for this domain" option. That is a fantastic addition and IMO you should make this the default for newly registered domains as a best practice (all registrars should). This is a point that I make during every talk that I give on DMARC.

3. Please, please, please remind people to rotate their DKIM keys if they have been manually entered. Annually would be fine. Many email senders like Sendgrid, Proton and others have started setting up dual CNAME records for DKIM so that they can manage rotation automatically but so many other don't. Tracking and warning people will be a huge benefit.

> First, we review research showing that social class is associated with unequal access to digital tools, unequal familiarity with digital skills and unequal uses of such tools for learning purposes

I have several friends who are elementary and middle school teachers. This echoes what they’ve been saying: The pandemic response among parents has been starkly divided across class lines.

Families with stay-at-home parents are, obviously, the least impacted. However, many of their children from less well-off households simply disappear completely during quarantine periods. The problem is so bad that they have scheduled time each afternoon to try to call all of the parents whose children didn’t log on to the remote learning session (with their school-provided computers with school-provided cellular connections). If they can reach the parents at all they often indicate they don’t even care that their kids were absent because they don’t believe in the distance learning. The indifference is mind-boggling as a parent, but it’s real.

That said, leaving schools fully opened at all times wasn’t really a viable option. Kids may not be as vulnerable to COVID as adults, but put 20-30 of them in enclosed rooms and the virus will spread. Local school districts here tried to stay open as long as possible but they quickly ran into a lack of teachers as the teachers became ill (multiple times in several cases) or simply quit because they couldn’t risk it for themselves or their families at home.
This.

Nuclear fission isn't "perfect" due to the potential risks involved, but it's one of the best things we have going for us right now. The climate crisis is here, and we have to do something pretty much immediately. We don't have time to argue over what's best anymore. Build things we know work and replace those with something else when something better comes along.
I can't tell if you're sarcastically agreeing with me or not, so in case you're actually serious:

No they weren’t. Certainly around here, the order of events was exactly this:
* Petrol stations all chugging along normally
* Media start scaring people into panic buying
* Petrol stations overwhelmed by idiotic buying

Popularity of low-code tools in building internal applications
As much as I am wary about Russian influence (we were under their yoke 1948-1989, with an outright invasion in 1968), Gazprom never fooled around with gas deliveries into Western Europe.

They know that they need to maintain spotless business reputation, precisely because Europe is already on the fence re doing any business with Russia at all and because gas exports are the most reliable source of hard currency for Russia.

Turning gas off is a nuclear option for Kremlin. Not unthinkable, but very extreme.
There isn't enough LNG import capacity at present to replace Russian pipeline exports. There are quite a few slated to be built but these projects take a long time to get built.

Also, even if there was sufficient capacity to import an equal volume of LNG there's still the problem of distributing it. Pipelines and other infrastructure have to be built to take care of new chokepoints.

Nowadays the kids are given laptops to perform their classwork on so there's no point taking the phones away when they have a more capable computer.

I don't know how this is surprising.

We locked down to protect boomers and obese people because we could and they are such a large <<' part of the population and we value their contributions to society and lives. There would be consequences, fairly obvious ones, and we coordinated quickly anyway.

Entirely fed up with these articles. The debate is whether these things should be mandated or let to the appreciation of the people.

Let me keep my kids at home, or get them to a school, or socialise, or wear a mask, or get vaccinated.

Enough. Enough of this non sensical noise about whether x or y is better. Let people be. Stop coercing people to follow the potential idiocy of some group sitting in an office think will be wiser for society.

The scandal isn't that deprived kids suffer social distancing most, the scandal is that governments around the globe have been telling people to cover their face wherever they go, to not meet their friends, to find themselves a other job because their industry is shut, to get infected or be banned from travels and other public places if they don't.

Let people be. We don't care what you think is better for people. They know better.

Forget "kids", I'm an adult and I'd love to have versions of all modern social media with the 'growth hacking' features axed.

Remember the days before forever scrolling on Reddit? When Facebook timelines were chronological? When bullshit clickbait links didn't show up as "recommended" after you meticulously pruned bullshit clickbait groups from your feed? When Youtube didn't just autoplay down into the deep dark depths of crazytown? How about social media that's actually social instead of just being the same national outrage "conversation" being replayed in a slightly different setting?
The supply of drivers is somewhat fungible, but it doesn't just multiply when demand is high and shrink when it is low.

Those are Human beings that have to be, in essence, "stolen away" from another job, in the case of high school graduates (or whatever you call them) from another potential career. That's why wage isn't the magic wand many people believe it to be. If one industry increases wages (provided they can afford it), another gets the short stick. Unless you "steal" workers from other countries. As the UK did/does successfully for example with health workers...

Additionally, everyone moved home and offices emptied out, so the daily/weekly/monthly demand for toilet paper went from 50/50 consumer/industrial to 100% consumer overnight.

I've taught English to undergrads (mostly freshmen), on and off, for 13 years, and it's apparent that no one I'm aware of has a great model for teaching reading and writing skills online, at least to college students. Most of the efforts I've seen attempt, mostly unsuccessfully, to replicate the classroom model, or attempt what looks mostly like a busywork model. College students are likely more motivated on average than K-12 students. It's possible for the highly motivated to learn a lot, but, for the median student, things look much grimmer.

I'm not a luddite and would love to see successful online education that works at least as well as offline. So far, I'm not hugely optimistic, for the median student: https://seliger.com/2013/08/19/computers-and-education-an-ex....

Depends a lot on the social status I think. Growing up in a poor household, we never worried about gas prices. When the salary came, we would buy 200HRK worth of petrol and use the car as long as it had petrol. After that, you walk. It was never a full tank and these days its not even half a tank.
