Wind and PV grew by roughly 200-240 gigawatts in 2020. Total current worldwide civilian nuclear reactor electrical capacity is about 400 gigawatts, with another 60 GW under construction and about 100 GW planned.

Even if renewables stop their current exponential growth and only grow linearly, even assuming a mere 25% capacity factor for renewables and 100% for nuclear (neither of which is true), even assuming all currently planned and under construction reactors are completed and no existing reactors are turned off, renewables still exceed nuclear by about 2028. I’m expecting it to be a lot sooner than that because I expect the two (different) exponential trends in PV and wind to continue for at least another doubling period.

I’m still in favour of expanding nuclear power: it’s much safer than generally believed, it saves on storage requirements and intercontinental HVDC (we might get enough battery factories or extra copper/aluminium mines in time but I don’t want to count chickens before they’re hatched), and while it’s expensive it is (currently) still cheaper than batteries.

But I’m not expecting nuclear to be a big player, I just like diversity of supply for its own sake.

The U.S. has had stagnant energy production since 2008

https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/electricity/electricity-...

The U.S. generates about as much energy from renewables as it does from nuclear. Combined (nuclear + renewables) only produces around 40% of the energy the U.S. consumes.

In 2008, the combined nuclear + renewable energy accounted for 29% of the energy consumed by the U.S. (green energy production is only up 100% in 10 years). Mostly there was just a swap from Coal power to Natural gas power.

Put another way, it'll be decades with no energy growth to replace the natural gas and coal energy production; baring some massive changes.

At the end of the day, renewables are not going to cut it. We need a massive increase in nuclear, it's the only clear way. If the goal is to switch off coal and natural gas (which IMO, we should just keep using coal + natural gas). Cheaper energy, is the quickest way to reduce poverty.

"It hasn't happened since 1859" has nothing to do with whether it's likely to happen soon. You can get heads 162 times in a row when flipping a coin, it's not likely to happen but it's possible. In this case the chance of it happening is not 50%, so us going ~162 years since the last one isn't that weird. That doesn't mean the chance is 0% - we could lose that coin flip this year.

This is related to Tim's mention of climate change - lately, '100-year' and '10-year' storms are happening more often. It's possible the changes to our climate have turned those 100-year storms into 10-year storms, but we may not know until the observations and climate models catch up.

I think this is reasonable.

What I think is slightly unreasonable and probably a sub text a few people is that anyone, the CEO of this company or not, thought that their value added to customers was worth $150 million to Apple. It was music suggestion and a like button.

Clearly nothing the Apple couldn’t and didn’t just copy.

$150 million for that? Perhaps another explanation is that Steve Jobs heard that number, realize the after enough of these meetings and acquisitions that dollars had lost their meaning, but this wasn’t worth it.

We lack public dancing space, yes, but the US typically has a lot of space open for exercise, although not in the same manner. In almost every town and city you'll find basketball courts, baseball fields, high school football stadiums with tracks typically open (and available) around them. It's organized in a different way and promotes different types of social interactions, but that's more a result of underlying desire for sprawl...which is something China can't afford.
that’s because the primary house of an assetholder is a non-productive asset. this factor is one of the reasons why housing (especially single-family homes) being considered an investment is fraught. only income-producing assets (excluding rents, because that’s not income but rather deadweight loss) should be considered investments.

You lost me with the "marxist narrative". YCombinator is the apex of liberalism/capitalism.
That's not suppressing the law, though. That's just using it the way it's written. And definitely doesn't qualify as an example of a threat of "being held liable under other laws" IMO.
"If that's the case though, I wonder why my friends and family back in the states keep complaining to me about the empty shelves, Amazon Prime delays, etc. Shouldn't fixing the symptoms of today's strained supply chain have been an easy task compared to climate change? "

If we still have empty shelves in a year, I'll admit you're right about this!

I think it's telling that the main thing you can complain about is a pretty temporary disequilibrium that's only been true for a month or two and isn't really seriously threatening most people's quality of life.

Do people not know how reporting works at a place like the NYT? The NYT does not act as a single institution with a single mind. There might be some institutional bias based off hiring practices, but individual reporters aren't going to be doing the company's dirty work like you are suggesting. The risk to their personal reputation is not worth protecting a company that might lay them off in 6 months.

What's baffling about that? Climate change is an existential threat, but it means we need to do something about it, it doesn't mean we put life on pause until it gets solved. Nuclear weapons are still an existential threat, but we keep going. And the children we have are probably the ones who finish solving these problems—or maybe their children, or their childrens' children. Either way, you keep moving, keep living.

One thing you can also do is try to script a rebuild of your entire infrastructure to such an extent that you can make total rebuilds from scratch a normal part of your operating procedures.

Hypothetically, if you had 1 big script that could rebuild your entire org inside Azure/AWS within 4 hours, why wouldn't you consider doing this as a normal part of every weekend? If a meteor hits us-east-1, you wouldn't even have to think about it. It would just be another Saturday, perhaps with a quick region toggle in the redeploy script parameters.

Other advantages with weekly orbital nukings of infra also includes making it very difficult for persistent threats to... persist.

Clearly, some resources cannot be re-allocated with such frequency. Domain registrations and maybe TLS certs being the biggest examples. Getting away from needing static IP addresses in your cloud provider can also remove a lot of shackles.
You seem to be suggesting the problem is that Jobs allowed himself to get offended. Isn't it rather that there was a lack of trust between parties? In failing to recognize that "mark to model" does not work in the real world, and that you are worth whatever someone will pay for you, OP "lied" to Steve, who was "marking to market," by contrast. Whether or not OP intended to deceive, this was a misstep in the relationship.

Awesome details. I did wonder exactly how memcached handled eviction. I once did a game day where we cold-restarted one of 6 sharded memcached servers. We expected slow responses for a while and was prepared for anything worse. It all went fine, and what we discovered was that we were way overprovisioned as even hours (and even next day) later we were only using 1/4 of the memory from before the restart. We restarted all of them one by one. The problem may have been a very long uptime combined with old entries that had long/no TTLs.
Haven't read this yet, so take this with a grain of salt... but what about cooling the heat this is dumping out into the buildings/farms?

I quickly searched for a few key terms and didn't find a mention... forgive me if I missed it.

If that's also not backed by the stronger energy source, then at best it's addressing one side of the coin. Helping with the initial consumption, but there's an equal (if not greater) amount of energy spent regulating this.

It could be a package deal, perhaps. Why have 'good outlet' and 'bad outlet', after all.

Also a general curiosity, I'm ignorant of nuclear a fair bit. Have we found a better use for spent material than tucking it away in bunkers and figuring out what to do with it later?
> in a subjective way ("I know" vs "I think")

These are both pretty subjective. But Jobs only got to attack one of them. "I think" would have been even easier to attack.

The CEO in question seems to have disengaged for subjective reasons related to points surrounding his ability to perceive himself from positions of weakness. As you said, he wasn't being deceptive, more like authentic and open. This Jobs didn't care for, in the sense of offering it room in the negotiation.

Jobs rightly perceived that you can negotiate powerfully with those in positions of emotional vulnerability if you develop subjective criticisms and refine them into more objective language via generalizations. But he had his own blind spots as well; it's more like he was lucky that op didn't take a different approach...but op was in a difficult place to begin with, this being Apple's platform.

For a healthy person under 35, the odds of dying or having to be hospitalized shortly after receiving the vaccine are slightly higher than the odds of dying from COVID [1]. While the odds of any of these events, including dying from COVID, are low, there are certainly risks. We are faced with only bad choices in this pandemic - take a vaccine that has a high death/hospitalization rate relative to other vaccines, or roll the dice with COVID.

Our society has always balanced individual freedoms versus the impacts exercising them have on others.

I cannot have murder, child porn, or heroin use be a part of my religious ceremonies. I cannot have libel be a part of my free speech and expression. I cannot be Typhoid Mary and spread disease around. I cannot open a restaurant that skips hand washing. I cannot go to public school unvaccinated for measles and a number of other diseases in most states. I cannot drive drunk, despite research showing doing so actually improves my chances of surviving an accident (https://www.scientificamerican.com/podcast/episode/odds-favo...).

Immunocompromised people exist. Tens of millions of children aren't yet eligible for the vaccines. I'm inclined to consider their individual freedoms not to be needlessly infected by a pandemic disease as important, too.

How strange, because your examples don't make sense.

Sure, some things should be legal but aren't. It hardly seems surprising that while they are illegal the federal government tries to prevent them.

The Comstock Laws applied to all carriers (private or public) and therefore would apply to FedEx or UPS as well. They also were ruled unconstitutional over a hundred years ago.

Meanwhile, Operation Chokepoint was something that lasted less than a year before the same administration said it was an overreach and reversed it. It was an error, and between that and congressional oversight got fixed. It sucks, but it should be pointed out that, again, it was government pressure on private entities. Nothing that wouldn't be at least as good under government control.

Meanwhile, if an IRS agent refuses to help you because you're wearing a tank top, that seems like something you should escalate. But I will point out many private enterprises (airlines, etc.) have refused to serve people wearing tank tops. To the point of refusing to honor their ticket and screwing up their whole vacation with no recourse. But the only official IRS dress code deals with profane/offensive writings. Tank tops are allowed, even for IRS agents.
> I would want to see regulations where banks are explicitly forbidden from blocking legal transactions.

I want the same thing from web service providers - if the content is legal then Amazon, etc. should not be permitted to refuse service.

Twitter should not be permitted to have its own terms and conditions, rather they should follow the law - it's either illegal, and ban the person, or it's legal and they must leave it up.

Maybe put a limit like: If your number of registered users is at least 5% of the US adult population, then a new set of rules kicks in.

There are some details I don't have answers for: What if someone posts things that are legal, but offtopic for the location? I don't want to prevent moderators from removing that kind of thing, but I also don't want them using it as a false reason.

I'm sure there are other edge cases I have not thought of.

Well, some people are OK with getting shitty service once in a while in exchange for drastically lower prices. The thing is, I don't see Southwest prices being drastically lower - I had been checking it for a while when travelling and at least where I go, their price level is no different from their competition - they occasionally have a good deal, but so do the competitors, and their regular prices aren't that different otherwise in my experience. Maybe statistically it's not true but anecdotally for me I'm not sure there's even minimizing expenditure that much...
The only decent fine was the Amazon one and even that one was minuscule compared to their net income. It was also covered in secrecy and will likely be overturned and drastically lowered like the other big cases like British airways and Marriott.
This for a law that took four years to finalize, to me it sums up to a very mediocre outcome, at best.

While you are correct it is not everyone, as an outsider it is still striking how different kids rights are viewed in the states compared to Europe/Oceania. The OP is correct that you hear the "it's my child I have ultimate control over it" is much more expressed by US Americans than pretty much anywhere else. So much so that when there is discussions of restrictions this is considered to impede on the fundamental freedoms of the parents (yes the irony).

Point 1 definitely doesn't fit in your explanation. Processed food is highly related to what companies want to produce and marketing to make more and easy money, turning their consumers into addicted/slaves.
