Looks like what you were doing was something different. You were just wandering around with no specific goal or discipline ?
Let's do some math. You can build a 3 MW wind turbine for around £2 million. Which means you could build around 11,500 wind turbines with the amount of money spent on HPC. Which in turn means a maximum production of 34,500 MW. So even under the assumption that these will run at below 10% of their capacity you're still producing more electricity than HPC. Now in reality this number averages around 30% actually. So the price per MWh is orders of magnitudes lower compared to nuclear.
Also don't forget to calculate the cost for maintenance, dismantling and safe storage of nuclear waste for probably hundreds/thousands of years.

We currently do not have _any_ viable solution other than "put it somewhere in a mountain" to get rid of nuclear waste. Nobody would propose a technology or product where this is the only solution to take care of the waste, nevertheless this seems to be fine for nuclear power.

What we really need to do is invest heavily in research and developement of storage systems of all kinds, building a more decentralized power grid (solar on every roof where possible e.g.) and getting rid of fossil fuels along the way. Everythings needs to run parallel, not one after another.
Agree. I just want to know from a founder what was his/her approach. Knowing that "it is possible" is enough to encourage one to do further research and eventually hire a lawyer. Better than hiring one first for no reason.
Wind and solar also have large subsidies right now, although the subsidies are decreasing. Nuclear should have been given the same chance as the other carbon-free forms of energy: subsidize it on its way up the S-curve, then drop subsidies after the technology is mature.
> we are still liable for any misconduct as specified by law

Would this not be a process of consumer arbitration?

For example, If I believe there is misconduct, a GDPR or privacy violation say, is the process not to open a dispute with the EU, and then maybe go to an arb? I'm not aware that other email providers say upfront that they wouldn't participate in such a process.
If you read what RMS actually wrote, it's kind of hard to disagree with the line of argument:

"It is morally absurd to define 'rape' in a way that depends on minor details such as which country it was in or whether the victim was 18 years old or 17".

Of course, it was incredibly tone deaf to write this out in a thread about Epstein no less, and promptly got twisted into "RMS advocates raping little children".

Ideally I prefer a consent model, where each user has a list of other users they approve of, and a list of users whose lists they approve of (which may be identical.) That's what social networks were sold as. Servers should be dumb providers that are primarily worried about bandwidth.

Sure, it cuts down on serendipity, but if you want that, you can subscribe to serendipity345's feed which will add anybody who asks, and will autodelete based on the proportion of bans issued from list subscribers (or a selected council) on a particular user, card-check[0] style..

Federation at the server level is a poor substitute for the lack of finer grained governance tools.

Democracy and auctions are a last resort when you can't find a real solution. They ensure a type of fairness, but have awful failure modes. The ideal situation is when people are only exposed to what they want to be exposed to. The dangers of filter bubbles are 1) who controls them, 2) how they distort the information used for decisionmaking, and 3) who controls them. Absolute, dynamic control of your own filter bubble might make you stupider, but you should have the right to be stupid if you want to be.

That's why we use representative democracies, sometimes tough unpopular decisions are needed for the "greater good". The majority of public opinion would be against a tax hike to fix infrastructure that's falling apart or new nuclear power plants, but both can be vital ( or otherwise people die by bridges falling apart or pollution).

Perhaps neglected web content should die. Improvement via a kind of Darwinian mechanism would depend on that.

Web content that people that people care about could last forever if we adopted the Federated Wiki patterns, i.e. don't just link, but copy content from other sites and put it on your own (everything there is, in principle, licensed CC share-alike).

> I can't help feel frustrated when I watch my friends in the city enjoy all of the comforts it offers and seemingly pull away from me both financially and socially.

I'll add this: you could have posted the same comment (minus "in the city") were you living along side them. It's easy to cherry pick your successful friends and compare yourself to them, regardless of your current situation in life.

I would instead compare yourself today to yourself ... 5 years ago. Then consider where you want to be 5 years hence.
This was done for COVID, and was received as fearmongering. You have “experts” saying you “will die” if you get COVID, yet stories are passing around the entire time of unvaccinated people alive after getting COVID with no long term issues and never having seen a hospital.

So you have one group of people literally scared to death and that’s why they take the vaccine, and another group seeing other data that makes them say “I’ll take my chances”

>Infinite ethics (i.e., ethical theory that considers infinite worlds) is important – both in theory and in practice.

And yet we've managed without "infinite ethics" for several millenia, and having infinite ethics is not going to change anything (in fact, having an ethics never does, societal morals do).

>The acausal way can get away with more mainstream science. But it requires funkier decision theory. Suppose you’re deciding whether to make a $5000 donation that will save a life, or to spend the money on a vacation with your family. And suppose, per various respectable cosmologies, that the universe is filled with an infinite number of people very much like you, faced with choices very much like yours. If you donate, this is strong evidence that they all donate, too. So evidential decision theory treats your donation as saving an infinite number of lives, and as sacrificing an infinite number of family vacations (does one outweigh the other? on what grounds?). Other non-causal decision theories, like FDT, will do the same. The stakes are high.

And how about I, and everybody else, ignore those "stakes"?

Can the author calculate the possibility for that? Because It's going to be infinitely close to 1.

One of my favorite YouTube channels is an off-grid homesteader in the UK. I once thought the idea was compelling, but watching the incredible amount of work this guy has put in over many years has discouraged me, as has the toll it took on his body. Plus, he is massively more competent than I am at just about everything: he built a hydraulic post holer and a log miller from scratch, built several buildings, planted thousands of trees, miles of fence, built and installed a hydro-electric system, and so on. And even with all that work, the smallholding isn't self-sustaining—his real income is building hydro-electric systems for other people (and YouTube I suppose).

This analogy works for commercial websites. But that's hardly comprehensive. There are two mutually exclusive views of the web. As a set of protocols set to allow individual humans to share information about things they love and the web as a set of protocols to make a living.

Profit motivated web presences want views, they want attention, they need nine 9s uptime, need to be able to do monetary transactions absolutely securely, and they want to be an application not a document. They live and die on the eternal wave of walled garden's recommendation engines because that's the network effect and that's where money flows. They're ephemeral and only last for a couple years. It doesn't matter if this means extremely high barriers to entry because money solves everything.

Individuals' websites are freeform presentations about the things that person is interested in. They are the backyard gardens of the mind and the most important thing is lowering the friction from thought to posting. There's no need to get tons of traffic instantly (or ever), they're mostly time insensitive and often last decades.
In a democracy of three, two people can vote to kill the third. That's why democracy is a problem, and that's why the bill of rights is amazing. Call it what you want.

edit: democracy as a governance method must be built on consent, an agreement to abide by the outcome of the vote. No one would consent to a democracy without limitations. They're not even stable; they keep peeling off minorities until there are only two members left.

She seems to assume that federations are supposed to be small groups where everyone knows each other. Has anyone claimed that?

Email and the web are the perfect examplea of federations, because they are not controlled by a single company; they are interoperable. From Gmail I can send an email to a friend who uses Outlook. That way I'm not forced to use outlook if I want to communicate with him and I can use any email provider I want. The fact that Google and Microsoft are trillion dollar companies is irrelevant here.

Same with the web, I can change my ISP and keep accessing the exact same webpages as before because the web is federated, and not controlled by my ISP. The fact that I use it to visit pages controlled by other large companies is irrelevant.

Facebook or Whatsapp, on the other hand, are not federated. If I want to communicate with my friends who use Facebook or Whatsapp I have no other choice than to use Facebook and Whatsapp.

I never thought about that before but that is an interesting point. It is not truly diversive if you can't include certain philosophies and ideologies.
I think a service like webcitation is better because

1. Archive.org follows robots.txt rules - also used to remove content on request from owners (not sure if still do but I suppose they do) making it less sure than webcitation.

2. webcitation could also provide other services like - export citations for book or collections of books into one book of citations.

3. Similar citations tracking stuff that you can get on google scholare, how many other publications were citing this text or part of this website.

on edit: obviously this is if webcitation or a similar service was still a going concern, pragmatically yes archive.org is better because functioning and taking new content to archive.

"Do everything" is wrong. This is why: You want the most power per dollar of capex, and you want to have it come on line as fast as possible. Electricity is fungible. You can't tell a coal watt from a solar watt from a nuke watt. If you want to avoid coal, oil, and gas for externalities, you want the thing that costs the least and arrives soonest. That's renewables.

Every dollar spend on nuclear would deliver more power sooner if spent on renewables.
I'm going from memory, and I can't remember how many years ago I saw this on television, but I thought it had something to do with a genetic mutation that likely gained a foothold in the Western European population sometime around the plague of the Middle Ages. If I remember correctly, if a person carried one copy of the gene, they could get infected with HIV, but it wouldn't develop into AIDS. If a person carried two copies, they would not even get infected with HIV.

> not the appropriate place for such a discussion

Why? We want to hire faculty who have experience managing a diverse classroom. We want a diverse classroom because our student body is diverse. Our student body is diverse because our applicants are diverse. Diversity is part of this whole thing, and experience as faculty teaching diverse classrooms tells us that it's not something that can be treated as an afterthought.

> You're expecting what amounts to a serious research effort in social science.

No, we are expecting a cogent discussion of the issues which one encounters through teaching diverse classrooms. It's a matter of experience, and yes sometimes it amounts to years of experience to understand the complex and subtle role that diversity plays in the classroom. But as I said in another post, the failure mode here isn't typically an inability to articulate a deep understanding of this area, it's an inability to articulate any understanding or thought whatsoever to these problems. Even just discussing the problems is more than enough to get you past any cutoff or filter I've encountered.
Yeah - I've wanted to be more of a morning person for a while. Always envious of my friends that have no issues getting up at 5 or 5:30 to run or work out before sitting down to work. I am hoping that I can shift to something like that after the baby is sleeping a little better and keep the habit.

I had a large property which I then put goats on, and having the goats was a highlight of my life. Sadly, they were a tragedy as well. Both of the boys got block urethras and the girl was a feisty liability (I was the only one that could interact with her before she got aggressive and started fighting people).

I have a lot of respect for people that do homesteading, but it requires making hard decisions if you involve animals.

I was gardening as well, and I love the hands in soil. However, it is back-breaking work for marginal gains.

The only thing I do recommend is finding a balance between what you desire in life versus what others are doing. Comparison is really the thief of joy. If you can find meaning in the labor, then it is great. As hard as it was to take care of two sick goats for years, it was meaningful.

I like the engineering of nuclear power plants, but I'm not particularly biased towards them over renewables.

But we need to greatly improve energy storage if renewables are going to work.

Places like Scotland have generated equivalent to around 97% of their entire electricity consumption from renewables - yet still consume around 13% of their energy from fossil fuels as they export the renewable energy at peak production.[1]

I also just really don't like the misinformation that surrounds nuclear energy. I majored in Physics and it's just irritating to see people so confident in their ignorance. I recommend the book "Atomic Accidents"[2] as an excellent book on the dangers of nuclear power and nuclear power plant engineering in general.

I've taken Philosophy 101 and Ethics 101 (admittedly not much further), and I've never found an inkling that discussion/debate itself is immoral; I don't even know how you'd consider an idea, to label it as moral or immoral, without, you know, considering and debating it (internally or externally).

I can debate the best way to kill grandma; I will even find it intellectually stimulating; heck, I just spent a few minutes now that you brought it up pondering that (it's the whole "don't think of pink Elephant" schtick:); without in any way implying acceptance of the premise, condoning the action, or considering actually doing it. Does your brain work different? Can you disentangle a concept and idea from action and emotion? I don't feel you're making your point persuasively, or the choice of phrasing may be ambiguous.

There's no profit in pursuing "truth" in the face of tenacious anti-truth. Truthiness is an outgrowth of identity. And identity is impervious to logic, reason, facts.

The best we can do is help ourselves navigate the chaos.

It's a real simple checklist:

- Share your work.

- Cite your sources.

- Sign your name.

And then you can start productive analysis, fact checking, verification. Anything less should be treated as gossip, propaganda, or trolling (distraction).

Lastly, I have no idea what to do about identity.
Is there a good source for the economics surrounding large scale nuclear fission reactors?

I'm interested to see what part is the gearing cost vs building at larger scale. A large part of the cost, some nuclear engineers told me, is that there is no more large scale industry in building large nuclear reactors. Investments have dried up essentially, so next generation plants pay a steep gearing cost.

I'm from a country with about half nuclear mix. The managing company has made around 1-2B EUR in profits last year, and that is with a special 1/5 tax agreement for keeping the nuclear reactors open for longer. So those reactors built in the 70-80s appear to have been massively profitable over their lifetimes. It remains to be seen how much the decommissioning factors in.
