Nuclear power not renewable.

There is a very finite supply of uranium.
The same as with coal, natural gas, oil etc.

If we build a substantial number of nuclear power plants
all across the world, that resource may run out within
200 years.

We have then left our future generations with several hundred new sites that cant be used for anything productive for 100s of years or a lot more.

A ton of nuclear waste nobody knows what to do with.

Transporting highly dangerous uranium from where they dig it up, to the power plants and then from there to somewhere safe is risky.
It would be the top mission of terrorist groups to capture.

They dont have to make a bomb, or anything very advanced.
Just spreading it over a city like NYC would be bad.

Some say we reached peak uranium in the 80s, some say in 30 years ahead. All agree that it is going to happen.

The usual retort from nuclear lobbyists is that we will have nuclear power that is new and advanced so there won't be any nuclear waste left that we must worry about.

And that new nuclear powerplants will not have the errors the hold ones did, so Fukushima, Chernobyl could never happen.

These new advanced nuclear reactors do not exist in any numbers and a lot of them do not exist period. They are ideas on a drawing board.

Thorium reactors would have access to fuel that is a lot more plentiful and easier to extract. Nobody has yet built a proper Thorium reactor that is reproducible and affordable. Waste would also be less dangerous. Yet some of the transitions the thorium reactor process would have would be extremely dangerous. Hopefully, they would not stay in that state awfully long.

Breeder reactors would extend the uranium supply for an extremely long time. There are two reactors that are in part based on this concept.

If we were to start investing in nuclear power, then we need to finance building one these new reactors and observe it over 10 to 30 years.
That should be enough time to learn about most bugs, dangers, faults, and problems.

If it looks good, we build a few more and see what happens.

Over several hundred years we could have enough new reactors running.

Planning to construct a lot of untested reactors in parallel around the world is to me an exceptionally bad idea. We need to test learn, fail and learn in an iterative process

IMHO Focus of financing and building sources for electricity should be focused on renewable energy that can keep going for a long time.

With services such as Tailscale, you need to trust the authentication servers that they run. In principle, they could access your network.

It’s a start up with limited resources. I worry about their AS getting compromised at some point.

For that reason, I don’t feel comfortable using it, and rather use a basic Wireguard concentrator.

Otherwise, it’s a great layer around Wireguard.

The set up is very easy, keys are rotated automatically, SSO is a good idea, and NAT traversal is very good.

They will probably benefit from more relays around the world.

I heard they have recently provided an option for running your own AS. I am not sure how easy it is to run, secure and maintain that.
Here is a link to all the tools we provide: https://research.fb.com/data/
I have a need for this as well. Many of the go-to packages from years ago seem abandoned.
Sure there is. You can use common crawl[0] to start with. You don't need to be the 'next Google', you just need to give relevant results and that's a completely solved issue at this point.

Jails are just hotels you can't check out of. That's why it's called jailbreaking. The Western app store might be a hotel, but the Chinese app store sure looks like a jail.
I don't think this search engine is quite ready for its prime time. Almost all the results are from graph subdomain of facebook. My guess is that maybe the engine hasn't crawled enough of anything else and is still stuck at the large sites?

More unusual is that the results don't seem to be relevant to the search query as has been mentioned by others. I have experimented with a very simple search engine before based Sonic index with post-match sorting based on basic query word distance rules and even that worked much better, although I most likely had crawled much less data into the database.

It feels that it would be more interesting to have a search engine that by default excludes facebook, linkedin, twitter and other social networks. Rank the large ones out, keep the little blogs straight from the source. Unfortunately I suspect this is not too attractive of an idea for most companies.
Does anybody know where to find information on what the "consistently fair algorithm to find relevant information" which "doesn't rank websites based on their authority" actually is? Or any other technical info, like whether they build their own index or (like pretty much every search startup) simply buy their results from Bing?

Also note that it is ad funded - "we virtually guarantee your post to receive at least 750 views per 30-day period (around 25 views daily), at $500 (around $16 daily)", which (IMHO) sets up an immediate potential conflict with user needs.

Our biggest issue right now is climate change, full stop. Nuclear power basically solves that. Currently renewables do not. You other points are in the noise of what global warming is going to do to us if we don't use the solutions that are available to us now. We literally need a Manhattan style project on even better nuclear than we currently have. We have plenty places where nuke waste can be stored. It takes up a very very small area compared to the problem that gets solved.
Yes. Because if the code works now then it doesn't need generics, so the only reason for adding generics immediately is because the author wants to play with the new toy. And I don't need that kind of attitude in code I rely on.

Well... I give the first person a bit more slack in that situation. Stating a claim can be interesting, even with no substantiation. (It isn't always, but it can be.) But a rebuttal that just says "no, it's not" is, in my view, considerably less useful or interesting or whatever. I expect more from a rebuttal than I do from a statement of an initial position - partly because not all statements of an initial position will get a rebuttal, but every rebuttal is in reply to a stated position.

Maybe that's just me...
Change isn't caused by strength of belief; it's magic that only works based on how hard you believe in it.

Collective action doesn't do itself, and the words "collective action" don't constitute a plan. Individual evasions at least make things more expensive to do.

Also, individual action doesn't crowd out collective action. Not protecting yourself doesn't create collective action. A concrete plan with concrete individual actions to take creates collective action. Individual sacrifice to create institutions creates collective action. IMO you should be ready to tell people where to show up before you tell them not to help themselves.
Seems like this pointlessly duplicates the "Naming things with hashes" ni: and nih: URI schemes, standardised as https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6920 . (IPFS actually uses a proprietary "package" representation as parent points out, so there's little harm in it not using ni: URI's. But standard hashes of the underlying resource should use those. "Magnet" links are similarly problematic, but these at least support a few convenience features.)
I suspect its possibly to do with my families preferred listening - two teenagers. We are on a shared family plan - so theoretically each have our own accounts. There seems to be some bleed across.

I'll need to check in to whether I can block specific artists.
Hydro is amazing when it comes to electricity generation, but for that reason it has already been developed as much as possible during the whole 20th century and there's really little room for enhancement (and when the technology progresses, it's quickly deployed).

In fact, I like to say that the only viable option to get 100% RE is to lower our energy consumption until hydro can cover the majority of our needs.
The other energy sources have risks and fatalities, you got to weigh the options against nuclear, can't judge it by itself.
"The book follows Englishman Arthur Dent as he wakes up to find that Earth is about to be demolished to make way for a space highway."

It was a hyperspace bypass. As far as I am aware that is neither "space" nor a "highway". I guess it is a "kind of space" but I just feel that this is a terrible way to describe it by the authors of the article.

However, I could be wrong, I have been multiple times in the past.

Because nowadays the “blank slate theory“ is pretty much dogma in most social science departments.
I think the main problem with this approach is the UX: that all the things we want useful information to be are pretty hard to do in a text search phrase: What makes librarians so great is that you don't walk up and just say "Byzantine empire tax rates" to them, you have a conversation about what you're trying to do, with tons of context, and all their amazing experience.
James Damore said essentially this and was publicly excoriated and fired for it... So it's not that it's "discounted" it is literally forbidden to discuss in any way, shape or form the fact that we evolved and there might be vestigial traits left over from that that have some impact on gender dynamics.
Duckduckgo isn't a 'search engine', they just get their results from Bing, they don't crawl shit themselves. They're good at marketing and convincing technically illiterate people to use them, that's all.

Look at a (non-American) search engine like Quant[0] if you want to see something people actually use.

> No, that's Zerrahn's take on Sinn's paper, but you should not take it for granted.

So you're saying that Zerrahn lies about Sinn's paper? Are you saying that Sinn actually models wasting a part of energy to minimize costs? (Because if he doesn't, then he commits the immediately obvious mistake that I described.)

> Yes, and now I want to re-use the same dataset, but with a proper time-based methodology so I can find a specific time period for which Zerrahn's-level of storage would lead to a network collapse (Like I did for the French data above).

Why don't you just go for a MILP model? Because this clearly is a case for one. This is not really different from modeling production systems in the industry (with warehouses replaced by batteries and such). Make the total cost your minimization criteria and tell us what storage capacity you ended up with.

I've been intent for some time on applying this to the Czech grid, where it's actually somewhat simplified by the diminished need for transmission, but I have yet to gather all the necessary data.
It's not the first and likely not the last, regardless of what draconian measures they implement.

It's a high profile job and the danger comes with it. If you're the one writing laws for everyone to follow, it's highly likely that many people will want you dead.

It's a "fun" fact that US presidents have a nearly 20% death rate for example.
IMO it seems like you're trying to do too much at once. If these are just random throw away projects, that's fine.

But if you're actually trying to create useful services, creating a bunch of half-baked services and moving onto the next one is a recipe to make nobody happy.

Some (hopefully) constructive feedback:

* The site is not doing you any favors in representing your web-design agency. Personally I'm not a fan of the aesthetic, but that's neither here nor there. The big issue is the usability of the site. I'd spend some time learning and practicing proper UX.

* There doesn't seem to be any mention of what the "Ortingo Plans" are for. What is this storage for?

* The marketing offer is a) suspect and b) underwhelming. "Virtually guaranteeing" a view count makes me think of those old sketchy "traffic blaster" sites. And 750 views over 30 days is basically nothing, especially for $500 when those views are completely untargeted. Views themselves are worthless. The reason people pay for views (via ads) is to get some percentage of those viewers to convert into buyers.

* I think enough has been said on this thread about the search results so I don't need to add anything there. But the UX is not good on the search results. I'd look up Jakob's law if you aren't familiar with it.
These are great points. And yes, we'll only get there if it becomes part of the culture, which this is trying to communicate:

they don't need to justify there existence, they need to justify their market cap. they attained that market cap via the dreams outlined in your article quote - it is reasonable to then question the value of the stock.

all companies have to justify their value - some have less clear justifications and that means more discussion. this isn't the conspiracy you make it out to be.
I think there is a lot of depth in HHGG. I read the whole 42 saga as a parable on society's tendency to trust computer outputs without understanding what they really mean. There's a lot of great social commentary in there, one example that springs to mind is a planet run by middle managers declaring leaves as fiat currency as that way money really does grow on trees. Eventually this leads to mass deforestation in an attempt to halt inflation. A good critique of the economic status quo about 20 years before such things were widespread.
As someone who has spent some time and effort attempting to develop this exact process, it's limited by poor fiber adhesion to the metal matrix.

I expect that those who have power should bear the responsibility of being asked hard questions and answering them honestly, because a society which discourages us from asking difficult questions of those in power is doomed to fail.
I have a question: Librarians are fiercely protective of reading privacy, and don't want to hand the information on who borrowed which book to the police. Yet they still record that information. Why? Wouldn't it be better to, for example, require a cash deposit equal to the value of the borrowed books, possibly in the form of some token? And if some books were too expensive, you'd still have the option of presenting some personally-identifiable ID. But the record of what you borrowed would be destroyed after you returned the book.
My problem with Electron apps is that they don't seem to support window decorations under Wayland on Linux. I'm trying Logseq (https://github.com/logseq/logseq ) right now, and like any Electron app on Wayland, you have to start it via "Logseq --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland" but that still doesn't give you window decorations (like titlebar, minimize button, etc)

I'm glad that today there are more alternatives and it is not only .NET vs Java for the enterprise segment. Since the 2010s NodeJS, Go and Rust emerged and the world would not end for open source if .NET or Java went completely closed and many already moved on.
Unconventional doesn't cut it. I'm unconventional. RMS is a creepy weirdo and frankly kind of an asshole.
His father is Somali and works for the Somali government, so you can drop the accusatory speculation. It’s likely he’s British-born though and the usual word in the UK would be “heritage” not “origin”, which as you say implies that someone was born elsewhere.

When talking about a hate crime the ethnicity of the perpetrator is hardly irrelevant. And for any terrorism-related incident the first question is going to be whether or not the perpetrators were domestic or foreign (especially if they just murdered a member of the government) - as this shapes the response massively. If this person was raised abroad and brought radicalism with them that’s totally different from someone raised in the UK who has been radicalised online (or possibly even in the community).
To me, Somali origin but British citizen implies they were born in Somalia and then immigrated to the UK and later gained citizenship. Regardless, the term is designed to point out that the person is foreign and that's something that the public should inexplicably be concerned about.
Would you pick "contributing to society" (where, mind you, the value of that contribution is often questionable anyway) right when getting what you believe to be an unreasonable sentence?

I'm pretty sure my only thought in that kind of moment would've been "No, fuck you".
> It's a "fun" fact that US presidents have a nearly 20% death rate for example.

that's lower than the 100% death rate of general population.
> is there any hard, reliable evidence that these preferences are driven by upbringing and not something more innate?

No, but it’s the default assumption for most people in the field.

> haven't heard a compelling argument for why every sector needs a 50/50 gender divide.

The argument tends to follow from the first assumption, if all preferences are learned, in a perfectly unbiased world you’d see random preferences, so most fields would be 50/50.

You could use/write an extension for that! Obsidian is very extensible. I think there's template extensions you can use to put the datetime in the title, or in the filename.
All of those sound stupid af, so how is she still in that position?

You can sync the folder (=vault) with any tool you prefer… including git.
In the company I'm working for, we had to spent more engineer time on GIL workarounds (dealing with the extra complexity caused by multiprocessing, e.g. patching C++ libraries to put all their state into shared memory) than we needed for the Python 2 -> 3 migration. And we've only managed to parallelize less than half of our workload so far.

Even if this will be a major breaking change to Python, it'll be worth it for us.

i'm not going to treat anything from idiot Patel with even the faintest hint that there's anything actionable or real, that this is anything other than trying to chuck the overton window towards some extremist end.

but again, i just want to look at this less from the UK perspective, and to note once again this is some part of the world imagining it's going to create a strong guidelines for how the rest of the world has to operate.
Thanks.I don’t need access to my knowledge base from my phone so will start with Foam. Any Obsidian features that you particularly miss in Foam?
His brain clearly developed little to no social reading skills but plenty of abstract and analytical thinking. Kids with brains like that feel incredibly lonely and he clearly need some kind of social interaction with peers with similar mental skills. If he had been given an opportunity to learn and interact with computer problems in a healthy, constructive way with peers, the outcome might have been dramatically different.

I grew up in a small town in the middle of nowhere with nobody to talk to about the things I found truly interesting. Instead I would built things online and looked for ways to compete with my brain to get into communities with peers who were more like me. Physics, CS, Math olympiads, chess, star craft, a competitive high school, and building for the web. I was in poor Eastern Europe, but I still had options. If you don’t have constructive resources around you the path of least resistance is not ideal.

Government officials are elected, not picked for their mental skills. They need to recognize they have a naturally occurring resource of mathematically inclined kids and have open resources for those locally. Or you get lonely malicious behaviors occurring naturally instead.
I just set this up today using self-hosted gitlab and working copy on iphone.
