One common problem when explaining ideas is that we often jump right into talking about the solution, and just assume prior knowledge of the problem we are talking about.

But since the audience probably doesn't know the problem as intimately as we do, this tends to make our explanation hard to understand - even if our solution is straightforward.

A simple trick I once learned is to structure the explanation into four parts, with one sentence for each part: (1) state the problem, (2) state the consequences of the problem, (3) state the solution, (4) state the consequences of the solution.

Since the explanation now automatically includes both the problem and the solution, it usually is both more compelling and easier to understand.
The problem is the nuclear construction is much more finicky.

You screw up 1% of the modules in a solar field, your output is down 1%.

You screw up 1% of the welds or concrete pours in your nuclear plant, it's time for enormous pain.
The connection part is not the main issue I think. It's staying connected after reboot/power save/distance or automatically reconnecting.
The proof is that nobody is investing in keeping old nuclear power plants open. All over Europe. When those plants stay open it is governments paying for it.

In contrast, companies are now paying money to rent a piece of sea to put a wind farm in.

Your McMaster-Carr link seems to be pretty good evidence that such devices exist.

FWIW I'd read c1 as stating that a lockout device need not be resistant to bolt cutters, as that would qualify as "excessive force or unusual techniques".
I never said they didn't have a definition. I read it at the time and again yesterday. When I said "whatever definition ... they were using", I was saying that they were not using their own published definition. If they were, Taboola would never have been allowed through.

The policy on images is the one that is relevant to my complaint, so let's look at that one:

> Static image ads may qualify as acceptable, according to an evaluation of their unobtrusiveness based on their integration on the webpage.

The policy was stricter back in 2015 (http://web.archive.org/web/20150613035152/https://adblockplu...):

> Preferably text only, no attention-grabbing images

It changed to the one with more wiggle room in February 2016, in the middle of a backlash against AdBlock Plus's continued tolerance for Taboola's antics. Here's that thread for context: https://forum.adblockplus.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=25991

Under either definition, it's hard to argue that Taboola's images were "acceptable". They were explicitly designed to grab attention, bore no relation to the text content of the ad, and frequently were disgusting specifically because gross images draw the eye. Adblock Plus kept insisting that Taboola was cooperating, but users (including myself) kept reporting over and over again that their garbage was getting through. After years of violations that get dismissed as "mistakes" (documented in part on the thread linked above), it's reasonable to assume that the only reason they weren't dropped like a hot potato was because they were paying to not be dropped.
That's insane. Can you just rip the sim out of it somehow?

I suspect that a lot of the other cultural shenanigans would drive you nuts.

For example, we used to joke about "The Japanese 'Yes.'"

This was where we would patiently explain how some command/policy/idea would not work, and the person that we would explain it to, would understand perfectly, and say "Yes, you are correct."

Then, they would instruct us to do it, anyway, because some higher-up said "Make it so," it was in the project plan, or it was corporate policy.
I think you might be missing a lot of the amenities of modern towns/cities. Let’s ignore energy and internet/cell service.

* You’ll want to live close to a grocery store.

* You’ll want to live close to doctors —- not only hospitals and ambulances but also any specialist you or someone in your family mind need.

* You’ll want access to tradesmen/craftsmen. Plumbers, auto mechanics, carpenters, electricians. Things break, can you fix everything?

* You’ll want some degree of liquidity in your property. Selling a house in a town is way easier than selling a house 50 miles from the nearest town.

He knew. Below is a quote from Isaacson book.

Fifty years later the fence still surrounds the back and side yards of the house in Mountain View. As Jobs showed it off to me, he caressed the stockade panels and recalled a lesson that his father implanted deeply in him. It was important, his father said, to craft the backs of cabinets and fences properly, even though they were hidden. … In an interview a few years later, after the Macintosh came out, Jobs again reiterated that lesson from his father: “When you’re a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, you’re not going to use a piece of plywood on the back, even though it faces the wall and nobody will ever see it. You’ll know it’s there, so you’re going to use a beautiful piece of wood in the back. For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the quality, has to be carried all the way through.”

I get the feeling electrification of vehicles is going to happen in a geographically similar fashion to the American political divide. EVs work very well in urban areas, but are less ideal for rural use for the reasons you mentioned. There's also the cultural issue of it - working on cars is a classic pastime once you leave the cities and the anti-repair nature of EVs doesn't fit well with this.
Oh great a discussion about international ethics, sure let's dive into the narrative and choose teams. Or not. Anyway, my understanding of the big picture using the mental framework I got from a previous HN post of short and long con(thanks HN)

The short con:
Environmental ethics, the other team is illogical.

The long con(Nuclear Lobby):
Those that support nuclear have invested and given subsidies to their respective industries disregarding the fact that it is not that safe. The definition of safety is based on the insurance which if I recall was capped at 100mil and the rest is insured by peoples taxes if something happens. If it wasn't capped the concept of nuclear would not be feasible.

The long con(Non nuclear Lobby aka Germany):
The previous German counselor (whose politics as I see them from afar where mostly based on human sentiment except when against industry) overshot anyone's assumption of the feasibility of a non nuclear policy and subsidized heavily non nuclear. Then they tried to support by European Lobbying and legislation. The whole thing backfired and they need to buy energy from abroad which has caused a steep increase in prices and a passive policy against Russia. So natural gas needs to also be defined as "kind of environmental" or Germany has no real policy. If it works, and since they are the entry of natural gas for Europe, they can friction everybody towards any policy that makes sense in the future.

Also: The environment something something (I have phased out, EU or any large country does not plan based on ethics, just based on short term reelection goals).

Also 2: EU refused to pre agree with Russians for natural gas prices and the gas price skyrocketed forcing more environmental policy that smaller countries in EU must adopt early. French threw a wrench in German's works who are exposed to their non nuclear investments. Also somehow Russians fault? Sure...

Also 3: Two actual targets of environmental policy: Reduce gas emissions, Reduce nuclear meltdown danger. Pick and choose depending on which country's media you are exposed to and their respective owners financing.

Also 4: 30% increase in non service production due to covid did not help prices I assume.

Guess: They will find an understanding somewhere in the middle, they are financially exposed, which means politically exposed and no one will remember after the a new round of articles from the media. In the meantime we are paying for no reason.
The already build reactors are the cheapest energy source. If you close reactor stupidly early, like 20-30 years after build, you're throwing out next 30-50 years of generation that cost basically nothing.

There are ALOT of people that oppose free speech as a concept, hiding behind statements like "hate speech is not free speech" or "words are violence"

So while think you are attempting to defend free speech, I can also see how your statement would be "free speech absolutist are ruining everything"
It's being framed in terms of nuclear power because the original arguments that led to this situation were also framed in that context. The anti-nuke movement of the last century directly resulted in this situation by preventing the construction of new nuclear power plants and in some cases cancelling existing ones such as the Zwentendorf in Austria[0][1][2]

Those decisions made almost half a century ago were shortsighted, emotional, and led by ideologues lacking the ability or the desire to realize the consequences of their actions which we are now reaping in the form of an energy crisis and an environmental crisis that has become much worse than it need have been.

I've seen the same in France. Coca Cola sold in heavily discounted stores used to taste quite a bit worse than regular « Made in France » Coca Cola. I suspected it was made on the cheap somewhere and imported, like a lot of products there. I don't think I could find it anymore, as those stores have mostly disappeared (and those that still exist like Lidl and Aldi had to go up-market and significantly improve their quality and image). As it happens it's a retail model that's much less popular here than in Germany.
yeah, you need a supergrid and to import the electricity from southern spain during low wind periods in UK.

France goes through similar bouts of having to import because so many of their nuclear plants keep having to offline at the same time.
Why are you saying such reasonable and intelligent things using a throwaway account?

I've concluded mandates are useless because they got weaponized- the harder you try to push for vaccines, the harder the people who associated with antivax will push.

I'm curious what outcomes would have been different if we'd reached, say, 99.99% vax in the US.
> You're basically arguing any link to an image on imgur or flickr or wikimedia is should be fined.

Why do you think that? I would never agree that a link should carry any responsibility to the site owner, even if it linked to porn, warez or really illegal stuff.
> you are admitting that HTTP and HTTPS are both equally insecure

Absolutely not. I am pointing out that even within your (incorrect) assumption, you using HTTPS does not hurt your security at all.

That you take it to mean "HTTPS is insecure" is your own assumption, that you take it to mean "equally as insecure as HTTP" is something you made up.

A parallel: A lot of companies make seatbelts, you're not sure you can trust all of them. Even though they would be caught by quality testing and instantly go under, it is possible that one of them would build them with cheap materials that wouldn't offer much protection. Therefore seatbelts are not completely safe. Therefore wearing a seatbelt is equally as safe as not wearing one.
Well, that is a better answer. Still doesn't invalidate my original comment though.

The first line is nobody saying anything. The second line is the subject of the joke spouting something unprovoked.
Citation? In particular, small modular reactors are estimated to produce energy at a cost which rivals natural gas (but we can’t know for sure because anti-nuclear folks have prevented us from seriously testing it) which is almost certainly less than the cost of solar/wind and tens of thousands of km of massive copper cables.

What about the QNX IP?
How about:

* stop shutting down current nuclear electrical generation capacity

* build more solar and wind capacity

* as more renewable capacity comes online use it retire fossil fuel generators

Once all the carbon-emitting stuff is offline then perhaps look at shutting down current nuclear.

You know: the opposite of what Germany is doing.
Thanks for calling us brainwashed.

First, show us what is the progress in nuclear waste treatment. (None)

Show us the data of long time term safety of operating nuclear plants. (Every decade we have an unmitigated disaster, even with so few operating nuclear plants)

Also please show us an economically viable plan to keep sourcing Uranium for increasing demands. (Ideally one that does not involve waging wars)
France did it
No one is making those arguments here so why bring them up? Unlike nuclear, that misinformation isn’t suppressing investment.

Yep, it is definitely not encouraging. If there is a deflation event that I am looking for, it also won't be easy to get a loan to actually buy a cheap property and it'll be hard to keep a job to pay the mortgage.

This is a use case of IPFS I think. Any IPFS "website" will remain available at its original IPFS content ID as long as at least one person is seeding it, so if a book referenced one the author could seed it to guarantee that the URL will continue to work as long as they're willing to keep it up (and any interested 3rd party could do the same)
We may still have many things we can do to improve the efficiency, but the efficiency pretty close to 100% already, with Tesla hitting around 94% in their motors. So not a lot of room there. But of course there is still room to shrink the motors, make the motors lighter, make the motors have more power that can be sustained over a broader range of speeds, etc.

But the motors are already not super heavy or big by automotive standards, so the net benefit of those improvements are not so great, at least in normal sized cars. The biggest thing I would like improved is the range of speeds at which peak power can be sustained. In my model 3, I have around 500hp at low speeds, but it starts tapering off after 40mph or so. The model S plaid reduces this tapering by using more motors, which allows different gearing so the optimum motor speed is hit at a higher vehicle speed, and a bit more voltage.

Of course, in Germany most houses have central heating and central hot water production in a room in the basement. A lot of them even have large oil tanks which could be removed for additional space.
There are a few old Buildings from the 50ies, which still have gas heating in the appartments, but they are relatively rare.

Heck most people won't even figure in the extra cost of electricity for a larger home, never mind understanding upkeep is a fairly consistent fixed cost that’s proportional to the size of the home.
Look at things like the "microstepper drivers" and "inverter heat pumps" too; its not just that we're getting more motor options, we're getting better at switching and shaping rich, chunky amps with little cheap chips of glass. That's opening up all sorts of capabilities that were fairy tale expensive before if they were possible at all.

Fukushima wasn't that bad. Very little radiation was leaked and the max number of expected cancer cases expected based on conservative modeling is ~100, mostly of the treatable thyroid variety. Most of those people will likely die of other causes.

Do you have a reference to the 20% number in DK?

The reason why I am asking is that the percentage of people ever infected in the US hovers around 80% (see https://covidestim.org/ and click on a few random states). So either 80% is wrong, 20% is wrong, or there is something really interesting going on.

Except you can't just invest it all into renewables and expect to have a stable power grid, the equation isn't quite as simple as "avg_power / $ capex".
Last analysis I saw of this argued that the amount of "over-provisioning" needed to cover baseline demand with renewables made them prohibitively expensive as the sole solution. Peaker and storage solutions aim to solve that, but you need to build that capacity in addition to renewables.
