It's also what you get from a reactor with no containment dome, unlike every modern reactor.

On top of that, the Chernobyl reactor had a strong positive feedback: as the temperature went up, the reaction sped up. Modern reactors do the opposite.

Why Everyone Is Always Giving Unsolicited Advice
IPFS needs to decide what it wants to be. Is it about being a decentralized caching layer? Is it about permanently storing content? Is it about replacing my web server? Is it about replacing DNS? Is it about censorship resistance?

Right now it does none of those things well. The client chews through CPU and memory when seemingly doing nothing. If I try to download content, it is far slower than BitTorrent unless I go through a centralized gateway. If I add content it takes ages to propagate, making it utterly unsuitable as a replacement for a web server. There is no system to keep content alive so links will still die. The name system is byzantine and I don't think anyone uses it.

Unfortunately, they are now unable to pivot because they did that asinine ICO. The right thing to do is to give up on the FileCoin nonsense and build a system that solves a problem better than anything else, but that is no longer allowed because they already sold something else to their "investors"

Since I read your comment before I RTFA, it wasn't immediately clear to me what was so awful about this. Just to be explicit, José is the mother of the teenage hacker in question, saying it was a mistake to get her son a computer.

Was this interview edited? If so, it seems to have been badly edited. Listening to the recording, I noticed one part in particular, where he's talking about catalysts in inorganic chemical reactions, and then he's talking about non-trivial engineering artifacts. If you listen closely, it sounds like a bad edit. This is at about 41:48.
Also, we aren't necessarily doomed if we were willing to actually try anything.

No one wants to try nuclear for reals because people are frightened of it and world governments don't have an economic interest in building more nuclear.

We don't have an equivalent of an "operation warp speed" for developing next-gen CO2 scrubbing technology. I guess that's just not as cool to people as building tunnels under LA or launching cars into space.

Speaking of algae, we're not turning wasteland into algae farming ponds and developing more useful algae because, well, I don't really know. Even with CRISPR-Cas9 being in relative infancy, GMO algae seems like a low hanging fruit for not only removing carbon from the atmosphere but being a food source in places around the world where food is scarce. I mean, as an individual you can buy a kit that has what you need to genetically modify yeast to glow with jellyfish genes, so how far off are we from making species like chlorella more practical? Maybe it's because nobody wants to eat pond scum.

All I know is that the amount of effort we are putting into these solutions, although there is some effort in each of them, really doesn't add up to the message we are being told about climate change. It's both extremely disappointing and cause for raised eyebrows.
Yeah, I am no trump supporter but found this whole affair hilarious. Federal reserve kept the interest rate near zero from 2008-2015, and only started raising them rapidly in 2016. To a neutral observer, it felt political that they didn't start raising rates in 2012, and instead started QE3 which was as big as QE1 and QE2 combined!

Again, that's a false dillema.

At best, Nuclear is being pushed as one of many possible alternative to fossil fuels, and one which has been discarded entailing both high costs (direct and externalities) and high risk.
Let's see their claim again.

> Designed to be the definitive, scholarly operating system for playing and experiencing the entire medium.

I don't think they're being truthful here if this is really the case.

A definitive system wouldn't be a black box with little way to fix or upgrade it once the company goes away. It should be a practical device with lots of cheap, interchangeable ports (that are dumb plugs or simple boards) you rip roms with (for preservation) and attach controllers to.

Then you can load your roms onto a more stylish/temporary device for the shelf.

I also think it's silly saying "the entire medium" before that's actually true. I really doubt they'll get around to writing FPGA designs for every system.

Is there even external monitor and controller port support? Am I only limited to the entire medium of handheld/snes controller type games?

Unless I'm mis-understanding, this just seems like another emulation handheld in an already flooded market, marketing itself the idea it's for "history". Even though it does the same thing as any other handheld.

EDIT: Also to add, while it's great to have cart support, you can easily just get a rom ripper and do that. Consoles like the Retron exists with multiple cartridge ports, and all it does is rip the rom like any device, then emulates it.
I visited Taliesin West and saw the huge focus on schooling that FLW had. During the tour I couldn't help but wonder if at least some of the designs attributed to him were instead performed by his students (many of whom were quite talented).
True, though with the way GAAP and accrual accounting works (generally cash balances are only tangential to income, expenses, or even assets once you get past small to medium businesses), and the scale and number of accounts most businesses have, that’s a lot of work for a very muddied view of what is likely happening outside of some specific circumstances like a depository, clearing house, or the like.

That I somewhat like counting the number of bolts ordered and delivered by Boeing to ensure they are staying compliant with building their airframes.

If they never order any, or there aren’t many arriving where you expect, is that a problem? Sure, though it’s probably a subcontractor ordering them, or they haven’t bought any when you were looking because they have a large stockpile, or whatever.
Not really, the Alcubierre drive depends on things we have no reason to think exist in the universe (negative energy). It's also likely that the Alcubierre drive doesn't actually allow accelerating from slower than light speeds to higher than light speeds.

Ocean water is indeed an excellent source of cooling water.

Many thermal power plants (nuclear and others) are situated along rivers not because people were stupid and didn't realize the ocean exists, but because those power plants are sited to serve nearby communities and industries.

Sure, long distance electricity transmission is one solution (HVDC or traditional AC). Using ambient air as the final heat sink is another. Both have costs in terms of energy loss and higher capital costs, but are doable.

So, the worst nuclear plant ever occupies about twice as much land as the comparable solar installation would need.

Except they're not comparable are they? A decent chunk of that 75% is winter heating. Which, weirdly, lots of Russian districts have pretty much solved, somehow, without gas. Wonder how?

I’m not sure that objective criteria will work here. Slang terms about sexuality often encode the bias of the majority and are targeted at humiliating a minority group.

That page simply describes how the environmental case against nuclear power was made before climate change began to be taken seriously.

If we didn’t have to worry about the impacts of climate change, I’d agree with phasing out nuclear.

But we do.

“These pieces of criticism have however largely been quelled by the IPCC which indicated in 2014 that nuclear energy was a low carbon energy production technology, comparable to wind and lower than solar in that regard.[135]”
Except that "pick a number, any number" is not a question.
I;m trying to figure out why this is being spun this way. For years we have made the argument that services can be personalized without dangerous and crappy data privacy behaviors.

Only where there is memory churn. If you’re in a tight processing loop (checksumming a file? Reading data in and computing something from it?) then the majority of objects are never referenced or dereferenced from the baseline.

Also, since the copy on write generally is memory page by memory page, even if you were doing a lot of that, if most of those ref counts are in a small number of pages, it’s not likely to really change much.

It would be good to get real numbers here of course. I couldn’t find anyone obviously complaining about obvious issues with it in Python after a cursory search though.
No for sure I'm strongly of the mind that greenhouse gases do their job in creating a greenhouse, which increases temperature over time (which means more energy in the global system, which means everything from stronger storms to longer droughts...)

As a layperson I've read about the Vostok cores and understand how closely correlated CO2 concentrations and dust are as proxies for global temperature. Also I've read up on how phytoplankton essentially are the reason we have oxygen to breathe, so there are risks like ocean acidification that could kill us all regardless of temperature.

If some of those little buggers can give us an out or at least give us a longer grace period to sort our stuff out, I want in.
Never taking the vaccine and I suggest everyone else not to either. It has not gone through any of the rigorous scientific studies that any other required vaccine in modern US history had to go through. And its about time people stopped voting and started taking real action against the blatant disregard for the Constitution and the American people that this Government has. We are the ones should be holding our government accountable, and we have failed because we are too afraid of Violence. And lets be clear when a person breaks a law the police officer uses adequate force to arrest him and if he keeps resisting then it can sometimes be violent force. Its legal and righteous. People wonder why the Jewish people didn't stand and fight against Hitler when they had the chance? They were frogs in boiling water unable to know they were dead before it was too late, and right now the melting pot of our country is getting mighty warm.

Our ancestors fought and died for the rights we have given up because our refusal to go into the streets and fight. Enough talk, go out there and take back what is yours. If you tolerate injustice by refusing to take action you are the same as the one who would be applying that injustice. The only way for us to take back our rights is for everyone to fight, you want to talk about duty with vaccine? You have a duty for your countryman to stand with him to defend the rights you deserve, need, and cherish. Whether you care or not is irrelevant, because you not fighting damns everybody else who does since this War requires every human who calls themselves an American. Get your ass in the streets right now and fight. Not a figure of speech, march down your city and tear down anything and everything that infringes on your rights. And for the people who I know are thinking about the repercussions or social stigma, then fuck you. Our rights are worth every single ounce of pain and suffering a human could be inflicted with. Without Rights our Life is meaningless.
Dry cooling is a possible solution (that is, using ambient air as the final heat sink rather than some body of water). It does slightly decrease the thermal efficiency of the plant, as well as increase capital cost, but is a workable solution.
False dichotomy of saying we have the consequences of climate change OR we have a few Chernobyl like incidents.

I think nuclear energy is the solution to climate change, but this post is trivializing the issue. Yes, the steps to make the first atomic bombs are simple in concept, but in practice requires an enormous amount of resources (money and time).

Some of those resources overlap with nuclear power plants, hence the proliferation concern. Existing nuclear power infrastructure reduces the resources required to build a bomb.

It's funny that you mention Diablo Canyon's ocean intake, but then say it's politicians pushing for shutdown.

Diablo Canyon is being shutdown, not by politicians, but by the utility PG&E. The wikipedia page for DC now stays that PG&E is shutting it down because they don't want to operate it half time when there are cheaper renewable resources, but in the past I think a bigger impact was that water cooling system. DC uses once through cooling currently, and would need to convert away from that in order to meet modern environmental regulations.

So though I suppose you could blame "politicians" for pushing for the closure, that omits some really important facts about why PG&E is closing, and it all comes down to costs and environmental regulations that affect all plants, not just nuclear.

By the way, this question has been the simplest one to answer since ages ago. Love gives the meaning to life.

Does this apply to Netflix Party (or Teleparty)
I worked in Python for years and while I suppose I'm glad for any improvement, I have never understood the obsession with true multi-threading. Languages are about trade-offs and Python, again and again, chooses flexibility over performance. It's a good choice! You can see it in how widely Python is used and the diversity of its applications.

Performance doesn't come from any one quality, but from the holistic goals at each level of the language. I think some of the most frustrating aspects from the history of Python have been when the team lost focus on why and how people used the language (i.e. the 2 -> 3 transition, though I have always loved 3). I hope that this is a sensible optimization and not an over-extension.
You can keep saying it’s a false dilemma, but that doesn’t make it so. We are considering nuclear vs not doing nuclear. That isn’t a false dilemma.

> discarded entailing both high costs (direct and externalities) and high risk.

If you are satisfied with the alternatives and think they are on track without nuclear, that is a happy belief to hold.
Is Netflix party / Teleparty now broken?
I'm pretty sure every reactor ever designed was designed to fail safely. Including Chernobyl...

I don't trust humans to design and maintain things that actually always fail safely though. Eventually someone is going to do something dumb and cut the wrong corner or, just do something dumb like disable the emergency core cooling system as part of a test of another system (what caused Chernobyl...)

In a perfect world fission power could be used safely, the real world isn't perfect, and the pro-nuclear crowds main argument seems to be to go around saying "we're actually perfect now".
Sort of. The pay packages may be high in "value" but since they are all in multi-year vesting stock options, the founder still needs to make the company successful in order to cash any of that money out.

Closer: "I am incapable of reasoning, except in broad generalities".

Having an open and simple file format that is easily imported/exported is all many of us want from software. We are actually perfectly OK with paying people for work. Separating data freedom from access to source code is a perfectly meaningful thing to do, even if you personally don't like it.
There is a whole host of things this could be, but you may want to talk to your University IT and determine if they're doing any kind of port blocking, NAT blocking, etc. on the network.

Many campus networks are fairly restricted, often for a variety of reasons. IPSec / OpenVPN may get a pass because they're known exceptions, whereas Wireguard is new enough I'd not be surprised if your campus didn't move fast enough to include it as an exception.
It's wrong framing.

France is not trying to reduce the amount of energy produced by nuclear generation, e.g. by actively phasing it out.

Instead, France strives to produce more energy with solar and wind generation, increasing its ratio to 50%. This will shift the ratio of nuclear down to 50%.
I guess there are two types: 1) those who oppose nuclear because they fear science and don’t grasp the logistics involved in solar, 2) those who might have been able to prevent climate change if they had more political sway many decades ago.

I think the first group will win, because it will always be the larger group. It will always be a smaller group that have greater intelligence and foresight. For this reason I think discussion and public debate about climate change is counter productive. Trying to involve more people in a solution will just bring more mediocre minds to the discussion and hinder our best attempts to solve the problem with their innumeracy, ego and lack of scientific understanding.
