I am reminded of a comedian's favorite response to this statement.

> Not all trump supporters are racist, but ALL racists are trump supporters.
They didn't stop using the other three reactors at Chernobyl either, at least not right away. They are all in decommissioning now.
There were plenty of repeated design that started during the 1960s and 70s. Accordingly, costs were considerably lower, often in the range 1 to 2 billion USD per GW.
You might get more useful things from /sys/kernel/debug as well, but you'll need to get familiar with the spec. It would let you know how a device is doing something wrong and can be made better.
That's the classic

Our politics honest.
Our country good.
Our military righteous.

Their politics corrupt.
Their country bad.
Their military evil.

Every side thinks the same
There are legal reasons why that does not work. For example consider military separation. A candidate is under no obligation to disclose their military/veteran status. If that candidate then becomes mobilized the federal obligation trumps the commercial obligation. Employee leaves and not only are they separated from the work without any repercussion the employer is required to retain that employee in an unpaid status for at least 5 years unless a rare legal exclusion is met.

There is also pregnancy. An employer cannot terminal an employee for taking time to give birth and taking some more time off immediately after.

These are the two most obvious reasons though I am sure there are many more that they cannot enforce.
I think the biggest contributor is shrinking the size of the engineering effort. The cost scaling curve for large infrastructure projects is often not beneficial - the idea is that a (50%) smaller reactor requires substantially smaller containment, on-site development, etc, which should reduce costs by far more than 50%. More parts can be build in a factory rather than on-site, and higher unit volumes can support a learning curve.

None of the above. AFAIK, 'modular' here is shorthand for '(mostly) assembled on site from modules made in factories'. The idea is that if you can transform nuclear build-out from a civil engineering problem into a manufacturing problem you can massively lower costs if/when you reach some level of scale.
Not just swing voters. A lot of the effort is increasing voter turnout for your favored side.

My strong opinion as someone who majored in math is that, at least within the US, the standard calculus requirement should be replaced with statistics. So much more useful and so much more important as an adult.

The analytical type of thinking that proof-writing is certainly useful, but you can make much the same argument of many other curricula, and besides, it's not like most intro calc courses even do any proofs. The vast majority of them, I would assert, are simply pre-med weed-out courses.

I still remember freshman year, showing up to the standard intro calc course, and dropping it as quickly as I could in favor of my uni's equivalent of Math 55 (i.e. the hardest u/g intro math course) because of how asinine I found the content...

1 out of 250 iphones is jailbroken and can even install pirated apps directly. On balance which is more likely that piracy killed his app overnight or netflix, competitors, and cable co DVRs did?

The alternative is to have us believe that nearly all his prospective users were in the 0.4% and instantly heard it on the grape vine that his app was fair game "overnight" instead of buying a $3 remote app. Does that seem even slightly credible?

As I said it's a debated topic, you have to use the interpretation of what people mean, not the broadest one.

Wikipedia's first sentence is the broadest definition but not the de-facto, the second sentence you left out shows that.

If you don't want confusion you'd want to use atheism for belief no God exist and agnosticism to indicate you don't feel one way or another. Which I believe is what most people do.

Otherwise you start a semantic debate which is as pointless as a religious one. If you want to communicate the nuance of your beliefs without much explanation, use the two different words, otherwise use atheism as an umbrella term, which is what the "broadest sense" wikipedia is hinting at.

Leg muscles are the largest and most powerful in the human body and it's pretty easy for them to exhaust the body's aerobic capacity.

The number of muscles involved is not a limitation for longer duration power generation. There's aerobic capacity, but also glycogen and oxidative (fat) energy pathway efficiency. Experienced endurance athletes usually have quite high oxidative energy capacity/efficiency.

These sorts of projects are silly because even a decent average adult male will struggle to make 100-150W for an hour.

> Pro-Russian government was in power pre-2014.

Sounds about right.

> Violent coup overthrew the government in 2014 and installed a pro western, anti Russian government.

That's already where the chain breaks. Ukrainian people, not military, overthrew the government. Of course that can be argued, how do we know that - did the majority agree with the protesters? You could make a poll, but to be sure the results aren't manipulated, you have to make a referendum... Or just an election, in which who was elected? Did Putin send observers to control the elections, did he point out the problems with the system? No? Well, that's where this narration breaks. The world is full of such subtle solutions like election monitoring; it's ridiculous to claim benevolence but skip those solutions and go straight to violence.
I don't think we'd launch nukes over one step.

I think Russia could even get away with "peace keeping" a "Russian separatist group" in a Nato country like Latvia.

Which is what makes this war so strange. Russia could've easily stolen Donbas - and NO ONE in the world would've cared. They could've taken away one state at a time, and NO ONE would have cared. There was no reason to rush.

But if Russia nuked a NATO population center, or even just invaded to this degree a NATO country - that's MAD.

Imagine I have a load that varies between 10kW +\- 50% and an intermittent generator that outputs 1kW at maximum and sometimes zero. I don’t have any need for storage so why would I have to calculate any storage cost? This is basically the situation the US grid is in as a whole today. If you want higher renewable usage with fewer fossil backups then you may need to price storage but that isn’t where we are today.
A high price, but it's for non-intermittent, geographically independent carbon-free generation. Nothing else offers that capability. Hydro and geothermal are great, but not geographically independent. Renewables are cheaper, but are intermittent and still geographically dependent. To fairly compare them to nuclear you have to take in the cost of storage, which is immense unless you are lucky to have an alpine lake next door.
to try ushering them into an alley where nobody can see, that speaks volumes about your intent.

On the other hand, it can be hard to suss out details of an issue without exposing some sort of personal info, sometime unintentionally. I don't think it's fair to wholly categorize that as a negative. Plus, if you have a problem at a McDonald's, are you going to shout it out loud in front of everyone in the store (who has bad intent there?), or talk to individually to someone who can fix it?

It depends on the problem at hand, sure, but I also think people get that companies focus on just one avenue of support and funnel everyone there.
A few weeks ago, while driving, my eyes fixated on some Mitsubishi car's logo, and my mind wandered off: what is this "bishi"? That must just be rendaku from some "hishi"? Wait, I know what that is: hishi is water chestnut, which serves as a metaphor for the rhombus shape "hishigata" (like the word "diamond" does in English). So then it of course hit me: doh, three (mitsu) diamonds (hishi) in the logo.

I feel like this is the primary justification the US gov would have for issuing a CBDC. It's smack in the middle of the "potential benefits", so it's clearly the most important.

>> Today, the dollar is widely used across the globe because of the depth and liquidity of U.S. financial markets, the size and openness of the U.S. economy, and international trust in U.S. institutions and rule of law. It is important, however, to consider the implications of a potential future state in which many foreign countries and currency unions may have introduced CBDCs. Some have suggested that, if these new CBDCs were more attractive than existing forms of the U.S. dollar, global use of the dollar could decrease—and a U.S. CBDC might help preserve the international role of the dollar.

(I'd even replace Strang's "linear algebra" recommendation with this book.) Imo, proofs are useful in so far as they are enlightening (e.g., the proof that a problem has a minimum is often useful in so far as it tells you how to solve it!) but in many cases they are less so.

Math is pretty fun, though, proofs and all, and I'd recommend trying your hand at it as a cool little side hobby! It can often help with "clarity of thought" :) (In many cases, proofs are just one or two lines that tell you something interesting, too, not page-long arguments that are mostly definitions chasing.)
We're not talking about a plant being down for a few hours, it'd be a few months for the existing plant to be decommissioned and the new plant to be installed, assuming the existing footprint does not allow the two plants to exist side by side

I haven't tried this yet but supposedly the Ubuntu installer can setup ZFS on root for a very basic[1] install. (i.e: No redundancy, and no encryption. The former one could trivially add after the fact by attaching a mirror & doing a scrub. The latter you could also do post-install w/ some zfs send+recv shenanigans, and maybe some initramfs changes.)

I do use the Ubuntu live image pretty regularly when I need to import zpools in a preboot environment and it works great. In general it's not my favorite distro - but I'm happy to see they're doing some of the leg work to bring ZFS to a wider audience.

>Medicare, Medicaid, MediCal

Yeah this gets trotted out every time. The requirements and hoops you have to jump through for all the Medi* programs makes it such that unless you are destitute + cross your i and dot your t you will not be entering those programs. I went through this very scenario when I as a developer ended up in a situation without income a few years back. Coverage does not start for many of these programs until you have passed an income year where you are under the threshold. So for that gap you are on your own. Failure to make sure you application perfect is also cause for fines and backpay down the road as my mother experienced (she got a multi thousand dollar bill from our state's Medicaid program two years after the fact just because her application was not perfect and they discovered the issue later on.)

Medicare is an exception as it is a simple age based formula but it still has premiums. Furthermore as my Father who passed away 1 month before his Medicare eligible date can attest, many people need the healthcare before they reach 65. It is a complete scam that there isn't adequate coverage before that date and it serves as a funnel to limit the amount of people who make it to that date(but still pay into the program despite not ever benefiting).

>Social Security

Is not adequate to provide benefits for the vast majority of counties in the US. You must supplement with additional retirement. Again my parents living in a liberal state with higher than average(but no where near highest) cost of living would be screwed. They are lucky that they worked as Engineers/Developers so they could afford to save up money but most are not that lucky.

>Unemployment, EBT (food stamps / free food), Welfare

Again, suffers from the same needs based testing as the Medi* programs. It is designed such that unless you are a perfect applicant, you are not getting in and the wait list for some of these programs are so long that it is pointless. This situation has resulted in a massive underclass that is barely ineligible for these programs yet are not wealthy enough to lead a basic dignified life.

>pandemic stimulus checks

You seriously trotting out the one time check? This shows how privileged you really are that you have no clue whatsoever as to how a large chunk of America is really living.

>US social spends more, by % of GDP, higher than Australia, Canada, Netherlands, Israel, Switzerland, Iceland, Ireland, South Korea, and more. And we have certain differing classically liberal economic policies that have bolstered our GDP considerably, so 18% of $60k is even better than 18% of $40k.

Like everything in this country, all these programs are abused by anyone who can benefit: contractors, bureaucracy, and politicians who can use it to pad re-election hopes. I'd bet money that the majority of the American underclass would GLADLY swap seats with someone in those other countries yet I bet the opposite is not as true.
These sanctions are not about inducing revolt. I imagine most policymakers and citizens in the West are clear-eyed about the hopeless political apathy in Russian society. It’s been 30 years of economic engagement and rising prosperity for them and all we got for it was this evil!, the Germans lament.

It’s more: starve the war machine’s economy, and be damned the consequences for ordinary Russians.

Geopolitics aside, I and many feel a simple moral repulsion at funding the aggressor in any way. Sure, one wishes many more Russians felt the same - not likely it seems.
There was no 2014 puppet government. The U.S. frankly did not much care about Ukraine in 2014.

Any suggestion that Ukraine is not making its own choice to be a liberal democracy, even despite the Orange Revolution, even despite 2014, even despite the fierce defensive fighting going on as we speak, is an effort to deny an entire people agency. It is racist.

Well, the thing about reasonable precautions is that there's a fairly bright-line test: reasoned arguments behind those precautions. As for who should draw that line, I'd say that subject experts should have a very loud voice in the conversation. In this case, that would mean epidemiologists.

It's fine for vaccines to be a personal choice, but if epidemiologists think that an unvaccinated person is an undue risk to the general public, it's reasonable to limit that person's access to the public.

> Vaccines should be a personal choice because presumably they are effective enough that the argument for one's responsibility towards other people's health is greatly diminished to a point where we can decide what's a reasonable compromise.

Emphasis mine. Your presumption does not hold for all vaccines. Different vaccines and different strains of viruses have varying degrees of effectiveness. Epidemiologists take a data-driven approach to that decision where you're just making an assumption. Reasoned arguments must be backed by data, not just assumptions.

> The main concern of a religion is to stop thinking, to suppress doubt.

I've recently been thinking that the main reason why certain religions/ideologies are so popular, is in fact, because they release you from the burden of coming up with an answer to some very fundamental questions about life. There is this idea about the brain, that it tries to optimize energy-usage, and if you don't have to ask yourself these fundamental questions all the time, you can spend brainpower on other things. So people naturally follow a regime of dogmas proposed by some authority, to focus on other things in life.

Or as an evolutionary argument: Those who had the luxury of ignoring contemplating their own existence, had the privilege of spending their brainpower on things that helped their community and subsequently helped it spread.

About the topic at hand: I think this modular approach to the mind is misguided. By now I'm almost certain that the brain is compositional, instead. These phenomena described by Minsky surely are emergent, or at least most of them.
Decentralized systems are more powerful if governed properly, absolutely. But they won’t attract hacker types because they require ongoing maintenance and community consensus.

Ask HN: The more technical the standup update, the less productive the teammate?
We all oscillate in productivity. I've noticed this in myself and in others. The less productive we are, the more technical updates we give in standup.

My standup updates will be very high level when I am feeling in the flow. When I feel slow or stuck I will give much more detailed updates. I think this may be related to feeling a need to justify lower productivity.

Have you noticed this in your teams?
Ah yes I certainly do block that.
