A problem with many torque wrenches is that they click (or beep) when the set torque is reached, but they do not prevent tightening beyond that, nor do they have any way to indicate how much overtightened the fastener might be. It seems to me that these bolts have the same issue.

Ever wonder why the tire shop has tightened your wheel lug nuts so tight that you can't get them off with the hand wrench when you need to change a tire? They spin them on with a pneumatic impact wrench, and then "check" the torque with a torque wrench. Of course it clicks, because the nuts are already way too tight.
They voted themselves power that's at least 3x as expensive?

Have you ran the numbers to just moving out of the high cost of living area?

I've had a couple friends at FAANG run the numbers that even with a cost adjustment they were ahead moving to states with no state income tax.

Mortality from existing fossil fuels is significantly worse (just from production and ignoring all the pollutants in the air and even ignoring that coal plants regularly emit more radiation into the air than have ever died from nuclear power generation). In fact, mortality from nuclear power generation is closer to solar and wind.

Yes the incidents are scary and news grabbing but that’s it. The actual data is that it’s safe (look at mortality as a function of megawatt hours produced). Not to mention that in the 60-80 years since those plants were designed (Fukushima and Chernobyl are basically the same design if I recall correctly), we’ve gotten much better at designing plants that withstand natural disasters. This is also ignoring the fact that we can do a better job of locating power plants further away from disaster-prone areas due to advances in power distributions systems (eg HVDC).

The problem with nuclear is that there’s a lot of fear still lingering around it from Cold War era propaganda. Any issues just play into and reinforce those fears. The real problem is that education is the only effective tool we know of to fight fear but it’s slow and not up to the challenge that nuclear fission faces. That’s because on top of the fears are actual opponents who will fight any real evidence-based education efforts by playing up the FUD (very old tactic). Fossil fuel companies don’t want it because nuclear presents an existential threat to their existence. US national security interests are worried about proliferation if we’re giving them the benefit of the doubt. It also presents a serious threat to US hegemony if countries are able to establish their own energy independence.

It's not so much peer discovery, rather the nice thing about Twitter compared with a newsletter or a blog is that you get a post and different people responding and interacting with it.

I guess some level of interaction will be needed to replicate the things people look for in Twitter. I guess a very basic functionality that that would cover this would be posting in your timeline "responses" to other posts by including the key of the other author and the cryptographic signature of the post. From that a client would be able to obtain the "parent" post and build a thread.

This is so wrong. If you look at the death rate from those incidents and compare them to the death rates of literally any other source of energy (including other renewables), they are much much lower.

Floodings are going to be much more frequent than they were in the past. If you want to take a look at where those nuclear reactors are located and explain how they were to be operated safely and cost effectively in the next decade or two I think the Germans would be all ear.

Germany has this right: do it now, and deal with it, rather than to continue to kick the can down the road for later generations to solve the problems, a kind of temporeal externalization.

"What we have in human nature is our inheritance from a prehistoric past going back millions of years. We do have strong predispositions—you can call them instincts—that become dangerous in modern society. So, what we should do is conduct the best research we can, in biology and the social sciences, and find out what it is to be human. And then recognize that these are particular flaws in our nature in a modern techno-scientific world, and work with that knowledge to pull us on through. This is not unlike, say, trying to find the basis for genetic disease, to look for things that make people sick because of mutated genes or pathogens, to find out what causes sickness. Would you then say this sickness is the way things should be, because “is” is “ought”? That is crazy. But the naturalistic fallacy is equally crazy in terms of human nature."

You can do all of those while working at FANG. FANG is the best way to get peace of mind, you make lots of money for a modest amount of work so can focus on other things. If you get into a toxic team at Amazon then sure you trade stress and happiness for money, but the others aren't like that and are harder to get into for a reason.
Jaw droppingly pigheaded incompetence is unfortunately quite common once economic pressure makes the correct way of running things untenable.

I've been working in the IT industry way too long. Any devices provided by my employer will only have whatever the employer has preloaded in terms of software. I will not browse any private or personal things on that device. I'm under constant assumption that device is keylogged/monitored. Even when working from home, I have it connect to it's own private network on it's own VLAN.

If I do go into the office, I'll just use my cell-phone for personal browsing.

This is how I did it - though it wasn’t “to hire”.

> Mortality from existing fossil fuels is significantly worse

That may very well be true but it's completely irrelevant for future choices. Not building more nuclear plants doesn't mean you'll be building more fossil fuel plants instead.

EDIT: For all the downvoters, see the fourth chart (Gross power production in Germany 1990-2021, by source (non-stacked)) on https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/germanys-energy-c... and explain to me how they're building more fossil fuel power plants over the years while building zero nuclear power plants.

Small plants, especially something on the order of 10MW, which is about 1% of a normal sized one would be extremely uneconomical. You need all of the security and process of a much larger plant for a piddly little bit of electricity. You're talking about the equivalent of a couple of windmills, that require a small fraction of the land, and will happily run unattended.

As a bonus, it makes changes to the CLI much more obvious in code review.
this is sophistry. "necessary" means sufficient to cover the shortfall from the lack of nuclear baseload. the effect of shutting down nuke plants will be to burn more gas, there is no way to dispute this.

While I understand the borrow concept, I can't see how it is useful here. Returns come from your doing something, not from not doing something. Deciding what actions would bring best returns is the essence of planning. What's special about tech debt in this picture, vs for example product features you delay for few cycles later?
Nuclear Power is the only feasible renewable energy that keeps energy flowing. I'd rather deal with the waste then be mining forever or burning oil.
10MW is insanely costly, regardless. That's so small that it isn't enough to justify even the overhead of running a plant. 1GW or so is the smallest size where it starts to make sense to design a nuclear plant that has a hope of delivering electricity at a price that matches the market (and even then: usually only by subtracting decommissioning and construction costs from the equation).
Are there any plans on building newer ones?

>Surprisingly, wearing an unwashed single layer t-shirt (U-SL-T) mask while breathing yielded a significant increase in measured particle emission rates compared to no mask, increasing to a median of 0.61 particles/s.

Double cloth had a higher but not statistically significant increase in particle count (so equivalent to being unmasked) while vented N95s reduced particle surprisingly well.

It’s sad, and almost infuriating, how an event that would never threaten safe nuclear plant operation in Germany set the stone rolling for “Energiewende”.

I appreciate your insight, but I just want to expand on one point:

> Having actually worked on charset handling, when most people say "ASCII", they mean "ASCII" and not anything else.

Approximately zero people are referring to a true, packed, 7-bit encoding when they say "ASCII". They're nearly always talking about an 8-bit character set, and in such cases, something must happen when the high bit is 1. (I've never seen one that plain ignores or uses error glyphs for characters >127, although you likely have more experience with this than I do.) This is why I said people are referring to one of these encodings in practice... because ascii is 7-bit, and approximately everyone is talking about some 8-bit encoding of one form or another.

I would definitely agree that most wouldn't call KO18-R "ascii", but they may use the term "ascii" to describe the first 128 characters of KO18-R. (Notwithstanding if it uses weird replacement characters like Shift_JIS does with the backslash and the yen sign.) This is the reason for my comment about how the weird "ascii + custom" all just feels like ascii to me... if you stay below 128 it literally is.

I'll modify my original statement thusly:

> This actually rules out nearly any character set that isn't compatible with ASCII.

And add an addendum that if you don't use UTF-8, you can't use unicode and will be stuck in code page/locale hell.
So what is the currently available and reasonable in cost grid scale solution? That is to provide needed power 24/7/365 for decades to come?
It's overall sad, Germany is at the top of the list of competent countries to run nuclear plants. Better news would be if they double on it and sell surplus to the rest of Europe.
Actually... it probably does. Look at the respective increase in NatGas consumption as California closes things down. Renewables can only do so much.
That's fair. However, $250/year is also not what I consider a "FAANG salary" (whatever that means). That's roughly the situation I'm in, in a Series A startup.

I could be totally wrong, but my sense is that $300+ per annum is almost always accompanied by well over 40hours/week.
