>Good luck transmitting it to where you need it, though...

True, but the scale of the problem we're dealing with makes it worthwhile to consider locating certain industries near nuclear plants to take advantage of low cost/free energy. Locating industries there means they can close elsewhere, freeing space and lowering consumption of electricity.

>The waste heat is also a significant limiting factor for nuclear,

It is, but the above also helps with that, consuming the waste heat to some degree as it simultaneously makes industry cheaper to operate.

Another possibility is to use the waste heat from a reactor to heat indoor farms/greenhouses. A vertical farm uses a fraction of the water an outdoor farm does, it produces food in a very small area of land relative to an outdoor farm, it produces high quality food that usually needs no pesticides to produce good yields.

One final advantage of vertical farms is that they free up land to allow it to be reforested or at least planted with non food crops that will absorb more CO2 from the atmosphere.

So many people's thinking about how to adapt our power generation to climate change is limited by the assumption that whatever we do must be a drop in replacement for what we have now. That's not the case, and in fact it's likely we'll have to change far more than just how we generate power to survive.
Most of the points you're making have been robustly debunked by actual science, which is I guess why you're not quoting anything from a credible source.

Your bone density argument is particularly stupid, and you don't appear to realise that you're waving a big red flag. Anyone with any knowledge about this knows the study you're referring to (but that you haven't read and haven't linked to), and knows the more recent studies that overturn those results (and you don't even know those studies exist, because you're getting your information from very selective sources).

Correlation isn't causation, and that's important for PBs and bone density because we know trans teens can have lower bone density even when they've never had PBs.

Nuclear is dangerous, just like flying is dangerous. Yet we can manage that danger so well that flying is literally the safest form of transport around, thanks to a culture of safety, strong oversight and regulation.
On a side note, do you all know about some research or PoC in the direction of a globally distributed knowledge graph or something of sorts? Or at least a more technical name I could google.

I think it's so bad that so much of the Internet information is siloed in walled gardens and that pages have to be dynamically generated and routed across the globe every single time... Imagine how it's gonna be when we get to Mars, for instance. Storing this knowledge graph in IPFS files seems like a logical step to me (as an absolute layman, though)
Of course, coal kills a lot of people. But instead of investing the money in nuclear power plants, one could also build wind/hydro power plants and solar plants...

I find it interesting that to the question of 10x or 100x programmer they never ponder if it exist. They just answers what those people do or are.

- Second, attackers are using a range of different approaches, including well-known botnet malware and other RATs.

- Third, in terms of ransomware distribution attackers don’t appear to need exploits other than for privilege escalation and for malware spreading within internal networks.

- Finally, as noted earlier, Windows accounts for 95 percent of the ransomware targets, compared to 2 percent for Android."

I'm hoping to jump back a few careers and pick up programming again, as this is far less physically demanding.

Again, you are assuming that math is only done at the frontier.

I don't care about the frontier, I care about improving standards of living and quality of life, and that you can do by moving the needle in a concrete manner for HS and college math proficiency.

Not to mention that the satellite operations you mention will benefit a lot thanks to a higher standards of living/quality of life which are synthetized in the GDP metric.

One can only imagine the GDP growth that would happen if math proficiency levels were to suddenly become on par with coastal China.

At that point the satellite operations you'd speak of would become much smoother without even needing to move the math frontier forward.

You'd see collapsing costs everywhere ranging from personnel, raw materials, building operations, security and so forth.

> the labels don't differentiate between HQ and small branch office of a company/bank.

Fun anecdote: my gf started working (engineering) for a bank last year during Covid lockdown. Last month she had a problem with her laptop; because of the complex security it couldn’t be fixed remotely. So she walked over to a neighborhood branch of the bank and plugged it into their network so IT could fix it.

Apart from that single brief visit she’s never met any colleagues in person and has never been in any of the company’s facilities.
I have a pet theory that though Adams believed he picked the number at random, that it probably had some significance to a person of his social background at that particular point in time. That is, in the spirit of the books themselves he drew it unknowingly from his environment.

I think that 42 rang for him due it’s association with WW2. The type of (particularly British) humour he deploys in his writing is the sort that makes fun of unspoken awkward thoughts and experiences. I reckon it might have been a subtly taboo number due its association with the horrors of WW2 and Adams being of the first adult generation to not experienced the horrors the time might have been right to “make light of” this number.

TL;DR The number 42 maybe did have a significance beyond what he was himself consciously aware of; he describes the process of such exigesis in his books, perhaps also subconsciously!
Probably my fault for trying to use it from a smart phone browser but the struggle was real. Safari.

First thing it did was ask me if it could use my location. I said no. It then took me to a map centered on my current location! I don’t really care and only said no because I was prompted and default to better safe than sorry answers, but being asked and then ignored rubbed me the wrong way.

Next problem was the map kept flashing in and out little blue circles with numbers on them like “63” which I assumed meant this was the 63rd company in the database using Ruby on Rails (only tech I put in) but when I tried to zoom in it disappeared and a new number “43” appeared in a different location with “63” no where to be found. I zoomed in again and that one disappeared too. I was attempting to zoom in on the location of the number and can’t promise you I didn’t zoom in wrong but certainly felt like I was zooming in on the exact spot the number was located.

Anyway, that was when I exited. I am really interested in the concept and would check it out again from my desktop if if was on the front page again when I was browsing from home. Good luck with your product!
api call / month is not good, as it can be frightening. I don't know how many api calls I am going to use when I subscribe.

Therefore I think $/month or $/user/month makes more sense.

To choose between the two, I would say, are your costs growing when there are more users in the slack app? If so, then $/user/month makes more sense.
Your source directly contradicts the "460 years" figure.

There they estimate a 230-year supply at today's consumption rate. Nuclear energy currently supplies 4.0% of the global primary energy production [1]. According to that estimate, producing 50% of the primary energy using currently available reactors would exhaust the world Uranium supply in around 18 years.

The answer is pretty obvious: those plants aren't new and solar wasn't an option when they were built. There haven't been new coal plants built in the US in some years, and the reasons are purely economic. Wind and solar made up 76% of the generation added last year for that reason[1]. The companies have sunk costs in their existing coal plants, but the economics of solar/wind have become so favorably they've been prematurely retiring them in droves.

> 1. We have no long term solution for the storage and disposal of enrichment byproducts. There is reprocessing but the results are simply less toxic (eg UF6 -> UF4) and are, to date, expensive;
2. We have no long term solution on the storage and disposal of fission waste products;

Why do we even consider this a problem? For more than 50 years nuclear waste has been sitting above ground in warehouses. Nothing happened. Seems to me there is no problem and we should just keep doing what we're doing. Why even bother with expensive underground storage at this point.
Any reason not to use ocean water? The Diablo Canyon reactor in California has tech that limits ocean water temperature increase to 20°F, to avoid harm to sea life.

You can also spend excess energy on desalination, which is helpful for water-starved places like CA.

And yes, this is CA's only nuclear reactor, which politicians are actively pushing to shut down without a replacement.

I don't believe an honest person can look at that chart and think nuclear safety is a a real problem, especially since the majority of those nuclear deaths were with old reactor designs. It seems like one of those misplaced, irrational fears like fear of flying.
> Just gonna be that guy on this thread who is not convinced anthropogenic climate change is a thing, or that if it is a thing that it is more significant than natural variations of climate.

Facts are true whether you believe them or not. Sure, there are wide error bars on some of the margins, and the feedback loops in the climate system are difficult to tease out. But if you look at a graph like this, https://www.co2levels.org/ , and are still attempting to argue that you're not "convinced" that doubling the primary greenhouse gas in our atmosphere isn't going to have huge effects, well, can't do much for you there.

There's already a term for that: not thread-safe.

The definition of thread safety does not include theoretical or practical assessments regarding how frequent a problem can occurr. It only assesses whether a specific class of problems is eliminated or not.

> seasons which have significant swings in solar productivity.

Install enough panels so that in the seasonal lull you still have enough power. Panels are super cheap these days.

Solar panels and storage are on learning curves just like integrated circuits are for Moore's law. We are seeing absolutely astounding drops in cost every year, and innovation is happening continuously.

The future world of renewables energy is one of extreme energy abundance. We will size our generation so that in the seasonal lulls we have enough energy, which means that in the rest of the year we are going to have absolutely massive amounts of energy available that's near to zero-margin cost (assuming you can move your electricity consuming application to be close to the generation site, since transmission will still be expensive). And this curtailed electricity has far more potential uses than the waste heat that comes out of a nuclear plant or a coal plant.

> 2. Even with the high profile accidents, nuclear power is something we know we can actually do, and has produced fewer excess deaths than coal.

...can "we", do it, though? AFAIR (this is based on an internal study for a policy proposal done in 2015 by a minor Polish party, so take it with a grain of salt) one major issue is the lack of expertise. To build a nuclear power plant safely you need specialized and experienced engineers, and after a long lull in construction, most states don't have that many of those. And we would need _a lot_.

And Chernobyl is an interesting example here, because one of the reasons for its (and many other Soviet and Russian projects) low quality is that Soviet Union/Russia have been stuck in emergency mode since the Tsars. You just needed that many flats and that much power like two decades ago - so you winged it. Thus I am wary of industrial facilities handling hazardous materials that are built in emergency mode, and the only way I see EU building enough reactors in 10 years to handle our energy needs without _major_ cuts is by winging it quite a bit.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't - if we don't build reactors, nobody will go into engineering those, and the issue will persist. But I don't think we can stake our near-term future on them. That fight was lost a while ago.
