With renewables baseline doesn’t make sense. Nuclear doesn’t combine well with renewables, not in a way that would complete the picture. Meaning: you can’t build something that works with only those two building blocks. Even more: baseline is not at all needed with renewables.

Renewables need to be combined with power sources that can be turned on and off quickly and on demand. Nuclear emphatically cannot provide that.

Talking about baseline power – as if that‘s needed – is highly misleading in that context.
I love that absolutely no one got the joke.

What? Have you forgotten what your first time was like?

There is a huge difference between thinking:

And instead being required to go:

It was a joke.

It all makes sense until the "IPv6" part. I want a dedicated IPv4 address. Maybe the solution is not technical, but political. Even if the solution is technical rather than political, maybe IPv6 is not the best choice.
Wow. I’m curious where this happened because in the US it’s the polar opposite - any risk and it’s impossible to get the healthcare system to move, not stop. Glad to hear that your mom is alive today.
The update to Monterey broke all my ntfs tools. While I know that Apple officially doesn't support ntfs, it doesn't make it less painful that I can't write to my external mass storage.
I'm curious to know what those solutions are that will add up to 51 gigatons of CO2 sequestration a year.
some people will pump something up just to make money while other won't because they know that their name is important at least to them. when people are cautious about telling you what they do or about their idea, sometimes they are just filtering the money hungry people from the actual believers, people who aren't just there for a quick buck, but are there fir change. if a real startup person, someone who didn't ask for things but still put themself out there or at least presented them self in such a way but seemed "inconsistent" or over explaining something but not in the traditional word throwing brand keyword way, then those people may open up enough to let you in, if that is the case then you may have found a unicorn. but, if you are afraid and which you should be cautious for good reason, than the real individuals may hold back and look for someone who trust them enough to invest. it's tricky but lions sometimes lay low before they feast. if you can find them before they gorilla it on their own, then you may have found something really really rare. but be careful because, they are use to arrows, doubt and people investigating/trying to pry to see if they are "the right fit" and just may be annoyed enough to throw you a false signal out of annoyance and for more fuel to their hungry; which resides not purely in money, but something deeper that few see clearly. but i am just some dude on ycom

Yes. One could call this communism and I often do. But note that this is a voluntary system, so it is libertarian communism. It is not based on authoritarian rule as many people who mention communism will associate it with.
Good. Next.
Yes, but only after this issue has been known about for decades, and only because some jurisdictions containing airports are threatening to preempt the FAA and ban the sale of leaded avgas outright.
Nuclear is essentially my canary in the coal mine for whether an American politician is taking climate change specifically seriously. If they’re not, then pretending to care is most likely cover for a whole bunch of other stupid crap.

Unfortunately proliferation actually is a solid argument against nuclear fission outside of countries that are already nuclear-capable, but the major powers that are don’t really have that excuse.
Biden will not be attending either. But you can send delegates. China isn't sending any delegates (neither is Russia).
Maybe they should work on a nuclear plant that can be turned on and off quickly then.

The basic nuclear value proposition is [negligible fuel -> enough energy to power a country]. We should be exploring the options, vigorously. There will be less pollution than the alternatives where [large amounts of stuff -> enough energy to power part of a country].
In the late 90's/early naughts I was a kid riding my bicycle from garage sale to garage sale and ran across one of these w/all of the random crap to make it work in an early Pentium PC. PCI card and all - I was jacked man. I can remember the neighborhood I got it from and that it was a very hot summer day.

It was obsolete by the time I had gotten my hands on it but I remember being so damn surprised by how loud/hot it was to get it working in one of my legacy systems. It was my first experience as a kiddo with datacenter-esque hardware + SCSI. I think I got Slackware installed on it and then just gave up on it subconsciously due to how much of a PIA it was...

Thanks for sharing that link... wouldn't have realized it was the same drive as my nostalgia-blast if not for the pics. That Barracuda sticker was badass.
I'm just a layman but this sounds like a thesis to me:

> A more comprehensive explanation would simply state that the U.S. economy is, to a unique extent, organized around maximizing asset values and returns on capital independently of growth

My layman's translation of that would be "U.S. financial markets are driven by speculation/gambling, not well-researched long-term investment".

I guess what makes that a weird thesis is that it's... so obvious. I would assume anyone who deals with this knows that there are many different participants in the market, many of which are only selling liquidity, i.e. speculating.
While you are technically correct, people use Google to refer to all Alphabet properties.

Ask 100 people "who owns YouTube? " - how many say Google, how many say Alphabet?

I think the parents point is that the entity legally known as Alphabet, is colloquially referred to as Google, even when not referring to the subsidiary known as Google.

This argument does not make a lot of sense without detailing which power sources that can turn on and off quickly you are talking about. The only ones I can think of are hydro and gas-powered thermal? So you want natural gas over nuclear?

On the other hand, your comment presumes that there is such a thing as too much power. Once hydrolyzers mature, we could use all of the current renewable power in Europe just for producing hydrogen for steel production to replace coal there.
> Renewables need to be combined with power sources that can be turned on and off quickly and on demand.

No they don’t. Wind and solar energy output can be very well predicted for hours and days ahead.
Was it really Python's fault? Version 2 was deprecated for a decade basically, and any sensible company invested the time to migrate.
$150 for one pair of ports and I need another power supply. Not exactly as simple as a $5 midi cable.
The "browser" is a blank execution sandbox with a rendering context. The remote server sends programs (using something like WASM) with a standardized ABI. The program can use the rendering context to put stuff on the screen or receive user input.

Indexing and page interoperability is done by exposing standard functions which yield the necessary metadata. For example, if you want your site to be indexable by a search engine, you expose a function "contentText()" which crawlers will call (and which the client browser might also call and display using the user's own reader app). In the simplest case, the function simply returns a literal.

Core resources like libraries would be uniquely identified, cryptographically signed, versioned, and shared.

If someone wanted to make use of a browser pipeline like the standard one we have today, they might send code which does something like "DOMLibrary.renderHTML(generateDocument())". But someone else could write a competing library for rendering and laying out content, and it might take hold if it's better, and it wouldn't have to be built on top of the first one.

Also, the browser wouldn't necessarily be a separate app (though someone could make one); it would be a standard built-in feature of operating systems, i.e. the sandboxing would be done at the kernel level. With security properly handled, there'd be no difference between a native app and a web app, except whether you load it from your own filesystem or a remote one.
> So I guess what I'm saying is it could be better, but the Internet is pretty incredible still.

I don't think anyone with disagree with this. What really annoys people is the trend towards taking away more and more navigation power from the user and replacing it with "the algorithm". Everything is at the mercy of the algorithm and we (including its maintainers) are so ignorant about how it works that every advice I see out there is basically superstition.
I've never installed an app to get a ride. Sometimes I call, but usually I'll simply hail a ride. I spot a cab, walk to the curb, and wave it down. Sometimes, the available cabs are going the wrong way, returning from whatever direction I want to go. Easy enough, just cross the street and let them handle the turnaround.

Cabs certainly aren't what they used to be -- 20 years ago, cabbies knew the city. Today, they ask me for directions and implore me to use my phone. But I'll be damned if I'll invite a company to surveil my every trip.
How is this good?
No idea what auto correct did with that post, I turned of everything I found that could effect the words I'm typing now so. Seems to be impossible to type regularly in thre languages otherwise on mobile...
I use nPlayer to access my files over the network/sftp/Dropbox/WebDAV/put.io/HTTP and download to my local device. But like I said, streaming directly from the network works too. But for a high bitrate 4k file downloading first is better since the server=>phone=>ATV transfer can be too slow. (Resolution doesn’t matter, it’s all about bitrate. Some 4k HEVCs are lower bitrate/smaller files than 1080p h264s)
It seems to be very true for humans to learn things that require practice. Playing video games, playing piano, sport, etc.

My interpretation is even though I love those practices, I would still make myself tired from playing and concentrating for too long - after that my standard is downgrading. If I continue, I get used to those lower standards more than I could gain expertise.

If this is how it works, it is truly a horrible discrimination.

I thought that you check a box on an application and it gives you bonus points. If it is an individual that assesses your racial status then it is bad.

People who have ancestors with a specific race but do not show the proper external signs are doomed.

This is so fucked up that I cannot imagine how it can work if someone decides you are "enough Asian" to not think you are using the system.

We are talking in France to anonimize as much as possible the applications to avoid bias, and have someone who may be racist (or in love with your race) to decide on your fate. This is because we have the opposite problem: if your origins show up too early you may be discriminated more easily.
The counter is liberalism, i.e. governing structures characterized primarily by their defenses against authority. No redlining, but also no removing people that you don't like. The rule is that the state is limited in its ability to force individuals to do things.

People seem to think that democracy is the ticket and that anything decided by the democracy is the best we can do, but liberalism will elevate anti-authoritarianism above the will of the people, as a majority is no less capable of authoritarianism than a dictator.

The piano teachers I've worked with don't seem to know enough about kinesiology to explain the muscle activity. On the contrary, it seems like the mental models they use to explain posture and exercises are primarily correlative, rather than causative. They can tell me that my posture is incorrect and what it should look like, but not what muscles to engage or why, or what angles to apply force at, and so on.

I enjoyed reading a text about weightlifting exercises once. It's not a substitute for carrying out the exercises or having an observer comment, but the underlying principles could be used to explain my performance (or lack thereof) and extend to other exercises.

I have my own notes on piano kinesiology which I've built up, which I refer to as necessary, but it would be easier if someone else had already done it, as it's clearly not the case that a book can't teach you which muscles to engage.
Read between the lines. It's not about the best solution(s), it's about _their_ solution. Nuclear solves the problem they champion, which means, it negates the need for their efforts and existence (economic). Ironically, the rejection of nuclear as a viable option seems to be the result of a psychological existential threat to the supposed "elite" of our world.

The mask is off. Protecting the future of humanity isn't the goal; it's protecting their own egos.
Rare earths are not rare, you can even order online. Try that with enriched uranium.

Solar and wind do not have the required energy density and will never be viable without nuclear. The alternative is to keep burning fossil fuels and blow past 3C because we are already locked into 2C+ of warming with no viable path to large scale atmospheric carbon and methane removal.
Domain parking/squatting is disallowed. You’d have to make the rules in some imperfect way, but it’d be better than what we have today.
Isn’t Meta just the holdings company? Similar to Alphabet… Google is still Google after the Alphabet holdings change a few years back. I suspect FB will remain a separate property under the holding co like WhatsApp, Instagram, etc.
I don't understand. One of the benefits of nuclear is that it can be turned on and off quite easily. There are several mechanisms to throttle on and off the reaction.
Nuclear is not a palatable political solution for a lot of people and it is easily simpler to reject the proliferation of such materials. The current 'theater' from a geopolitical standpoint for nuclear is China and it does not appear to be succeeding well. I don't expect France to succeed given all that has occurred.

Smaller nuclear devices will need constant care and monitoring that it is highly likely people will need to 'grow with' such devices. I dont think the will UN back something without a proof of concept which could delay adoption years.
I'm talking about many years ago (6 more or less).

And this company has a HUGE codebase. It has its managements problems too, but the situation I'm talking about didn't make it any easier.
How do you know it is nonsense? I don’t understand how you’ve categorically decided this. I’m a Buddhist so I don’t believe in a soul but I do believe in non physical aspects of the mind and also rebirth. It is actually possible to verify these things by Buddhist practise. You have decided it definitely isn’t true, but you haven’t got any proof either way. How is it then obviously “clearly nonsense”? That is just your preconception. If you are a scientist you should at least be agnostic, since we do not have evidence either way.
I think this is a more complicated issue than most people seem to think it is.

Very few countries have knowledge in nuclear technology while they have decades of knowledge in other green technologies. So it’s only natural that there is a severe push from European countries to make sure Nuclear doesn’t become a “green” source of energy because our industries are build upon wind and solar, and if we start using Nuclear as a viable alternative then all that industry money will go to China rather than our local production industry. So there is a monetary issue.

There is also a democratic issue. The overwhelming majority of Europeans are against nuclear power and if you consider our current unstable political climate, I think nobody will want the “elite” to start pushing a technology that is genuinely seen as much more dangerous than coal. What I think a lot of Nuclear supports fail to grasp is that it doesn’t matter if Nuclear is safer or better solution if that’s not what people think it is. A good example that Americans might better understand is the covid vaccine and how irrational your country has been in accepting it. That’s how the EU is with Nuclear, and pushing it could quite literally end up toppling governments.

I’m personally not convinced Nuclear is the “right” solution. It may be the only real way to solve the climate crisis, but it’s only safe when you have a stable government that maintains it in a sane manner. I don’t think we can be sure that we are going to have such governments in 25 years. So it’s not that I don’t trust the technology, it’s that I don’t trust us to handle it.
Everything can always be improved. But there are some things that would make life for a lot of people easier.

For one thing, operating systems' tcp/ip stacks. They should have come with TLS as a layer that any app could use just by making the same syscall they use to open a socket. For another, service discovery should not be based on hardcoded numbers, but querying for a given service on a given node and getting routed to the right host and port, so that protocols don't care what ports they use.

Domain registration and validation of records should be a simple public key system where a domain owner has a private key, and can sign sub-keys for any host or subdomain under the domain. When you buy the domain you register your key, and all a registrar does is tell other people what your public key is. To prove you are supposed to control a DNS record, you just sign a message with your key; no more fucking about with what the domain owners email is, or who controls at this minute the IP space that a DNS record at this minute is pointing to. This solves a handful of different problems, from registrars to CAs to nameservers and more.

The security of the whole web shouldn't depend on the security of 350+ organizations that can all independently decide to issue a secure cert for your domain. The public key thing above would be a step in the right direction.

BGP is still ridiculous, but I won't pretend to know it well enough to propose solutions.

Give IPv4 two more octets. It's stupid but sometimes stupid works better than smart.

Give the HTTP protocol the ability to have integrity without privacy (basically, signed checksums on plaintext content). This way we can solve most of the deficiencies of HTTPS (no caching, for one) but we don't get MitM attacks for boring content like a JavaScript library CDN.

And I would make it easier to roll out new internet protocols so we don't have to force ourselves to only use the popular ones. No immediate suggestion here, other than (just like port number limitations) it's stupid that we can't roll out replacements for TCP or UDP.

And I would add an extension that encapsulates protocol-specific metadata along each hop of a network. Right now if a network connection has issues, you don't actually know where along the path the issue is, because no intermediate information is recorded at all except the TTL. Record the actions taken at each route and pass it along both ways. Apps can then actively work around various issues, like "the load balancer can't reach the target host" versus "the target host threw an error" versus "the security group of the load balancer didn't allow your connection" versus "level3 is rejecting all traffic to Amazon for some reason". If we just recorded when and where and what happened at each hop, most of these questions would have immediate answers.
Continued use of leaded avgas is unacceptable, and frankly we've known that it's unacceptable for decades. It's surprising that only now are jurisdictions that contain airports where it's used realizing that they have the power to solve the problem on a local scale by banning those airports from operating, but it's not surprising or unreasonable that they're choosing to do so now that they've realized the problem exists.

If a plane can't be safely flown without leaded avgas, that just means it can't be safely flown. The foot-dragging on this topic is unbelievably shameful on the part of everyone involved, but particularly the FAA. If this kills general aviation, so be it, I'm sure it will light a fire under a lot of asses to get some new airframes and engines certified. If a couple 10s of people die in airplane crashes before all of the kinks are ironed out, so be that as well. That's a trivial amount of harm compared to the harm of airdropping lead on children, and unlike the victims of leaded avgas, everyone who gets in a personal aircraft voluntarily accepts the risks.
The canonical answer to this question is "How to Beat Your Dad at Chess" by my good friend GM Murray Chandler.
Easy to predict, once you get the notion that the real purpose of all this flailing is to disempower people, i.e., to change things so that ordinary people cannot buy and use as much electricity as they like, for that to be something for rich powerful people only.
Consumption habits will need to change, people will need to start eating less meat. Factory farming of cattle and other animals is a large contributor of global emissions. So less consumption is definitely part of the answer.
not only “not easy”, I highly doubt it is even theoretically possible in this universe. Probably it can be proved that a computer that simulates the universe must have at least as many qubits as atoms in the universe to be able to describe the state of the universe or something. Obviously not possible since qubits are physical entities
The issue isn't whether nuclear energy is complicated, but whether it's part of the discussion. Of course it has to be part of the discussion, so this makes COP look less serious, as it seems like they are catering more to Green movement politics than to fossil fuel alternatives.
