THE FORGOTTEN HISTORY OF SMALL NUCLEAR REACTORS

> The dream of small nuclear reactors did not die with the 1960s. In the 1980s, the nuclear industry was reeling from high cost and schedule overruns in reactor construction that had begun in the previous decade. And so, proponents of nuclear power circled back to the idea of going small.

> A 1983 paper in the journal by analyst Joe Egan offered his vision of small, prefabricated reactors. “A novel, factory-based approach to manufacturing reactors under 400-MWe size may alleviate many of the pragmatic constraints on nuclear business,” he wrote, suggesting that “prefabrication and standardization of major plant components could lower dollar-per-kilowatt capital costs to levels now boasted by 1,000-MW models.” Such factory assembly could further reduce costs, he wrote, by reducing regulation, shortening construction times, and avoiding quality issues with components.

> “The reactors, once assembled on barges (or even railroad cars, in one case), would be floated across oceans, up rivers, or be carted cross-country to operating sites,” Egan added. “There, purchasers would anchor the plants and simply ‘turn the key’ for 200–400 MWe of instant power.”

> This vision never materialized. No turnkey reactors were carted cross-country or floated up rivers. Then, as earlier, they were deemed too expensive.
Sadly, the nuclear industry continues to practice selective remembrance and to push ideas that haven’t worked. Once again, we see history repeating itself in today’s claims for small reactors—that the demand will be large, that they will be cheap and quick to construct.

> But nothing in the history of small nuclear reactors suggests that they would be more economical than full-size ones. In fact, the record is pretty clear: Without exception, small reactors cost too much for the little electricity they produced, the result of both their low output and their poor performance. In the end, as an analyst for General Electric pronounced in 1966, “Nuclear power is a big-plant business: it is most competitive in the large plant sizes.” And if large nuclear reactors are not competitive, it is unlikely that small reactors will do any better. Worse, attempts to make them cheaper might end up exacerbating nuclear power’s other problems: production of long-lived radioactive waste, linkage with nuclear weapons, and the occasional catastrophic accident

I wonder if this is simply a bid to keep a nuclear industry in Britain for the naval reactors and as a planting ground for people going into nuclear weapons research?
As is common when someone is not familiar with an industry or concept, titles become hard to read.

To help you, I have made the names in italics and then even you could maybe understand this title.

> Cronje Quits Crypto, Abandons Fantom, Yearn Finance

Speaking about titles, what do you think about this one?

> Enhanced Cycling Stability of Macroporous Bulk Antimony‐Based Sodium‐Ion Battery Anodes Enabled through Active/Inactive Composites

How am I (or you), a person who have no experience in whatever the subject is about, supposed to know what it is about?!

Absolute gibberish! Or maybe, a title is written for people who are actually in that industry?
A side effect of this is that the baseline for sign-on bonuses (if you're not "referred") is now effectively 30k. Anyone who applies directly should know that this money is already budgeted.
The irrational part is mixing Puylo, who might be rationally against "the West" for he likes to rule and true democracy does not allow that, and everyone else, who actually needs working courts and laws, but are for the war based on the pretenses Puylo put out. Now those are highly irrational, and they are quite possibly the majority there.
Just because the Americans have this problem doesn't mean the rest of the world is doomed to have it as well. I submit that there is a significant cultural element at play, here: Europeans have known war at home in a way that the US never has, and are much less gung ho about military power. In fact, you might even argue they are gun shy to a fault, so it seems unlikely that this slippery slope will cause actual slippage.
15k * 12 = 180k post-tax, so ~250k gross. Making that as an engineer is not particularly common, but it's definitely not unheard of.

Meanwhile the company responsible for the biggest security issues in the last decade still provides its CPU microcode as signed binary blob and the FLOS community is fine with that because someone at the FSF drew a random line to stand on. I will accept the FLOS communities hatred of NVIDIA the moment it stops bending over backward for the company that brought us Meltdown, Spectre, RowHammer (who needs consumer grade ECC anyway), etc. .

By we I meant anyone who has the power. Sadly it's mostly Putin's circle indeed and it leaves very little room for optimism.

What I see as a possible way is to keep informing people of Russia about the reality of the situation, but even that is really hard to pull off.

I've only ever engaged on Twitter when companies do not provide an avenue for direct customer support in private, but this has become more and more important over the years. Twitter provides a platform for public shaming; if the company directs you to a private channel and doesn't respond effectively there, you can report back publicly that the company has failed to respond. The situation may be changing, but in the past this has resulted in internal escalation and my problem was resolved in a way that was not possible through official private channels (if those even existed).

IMO the best way to avoid publicly advertising when you've failed a customer is to provide a clear and effective private avenue for complaint resolution. Most people who are looking for a resolution will only resort to social media complaints when they're desperate, either because they can't figure out how to get help or they are being denied help and/or communication.

Google controls the news by demonetizing and age restricting podcasters. So podcasters who make a living on youtube basically have no 1st amendment rights...

I recommend youtube plugin PocketTube, you can group your favorite channels into feeds, more like classic cable network. Puts videos back into feeds by new, and I get an unfiltered and non-controlled feed.

I did the same with facebook, put my favorite groups into rss feeds, stopped facebook from curating my feeds.

Always thought an RSS feed site from youtube channels, would take over the front end of google, and free the content, and stop curation.

I can only guess why your experience was so different from most people's. Still, I was a windows user up until around 2010, and it was an objectively terrible experience for me on the whole.

While there WERE flash and Silverlight websites that weren't terrible (in fact, I seem to remember a few that were great, was Strong Bad flash?), the majority of things people think of when they think "flash" is stuff that would show up on newgrounds.com or a random video stuffed into a flash container.

So, I think both can be true, but most users' primary exposure to flash was low-quality software created as people's first game or similar. If I were to diagnose the issue retroactively, it would be that adobe flash had way too many foot guns (around memory management, I'd guess) for non-professional software engineers, which also happened to be the most significant users of flash on the WWW at least on the sites I frequented.
I went to high school with CmdrTaco (Slashdot) and Nate (Everything2). I built sets for plays with Rob and was Nate's lab partner in AP Bio. Both were (are) brilliant guys, and super nice. Rob's sense of humor was one of a kind. (Jeff Bates was also a great guy, but I didn't know him as well.)

It was a unique time back in the late 90s, and those guys had their finger on the pulse of internet nerdom. It was pre-Facebook, pre-"Web 2.0" pre a lot of things. In a lot of ways Slashdot was the spiritual predecessor to Hacker News, so we owe that crew a debt.

> To be honest, although I realize it would be ridiculous, but if inverters were small and cheap, I would personally prefer having an exercise bike plugged into the grid. That way my exercise energy would at least be useful to someone, somewhere.

The only thing it would do is fuck up the grid. Grids are not sewers, they don’t work by having randos throw shit into it. Human power is way too low and unreliable to be of any non-hyperlocal use.

The main risk to nuclear plant building is overuns of the reactor and problems with commissioning. If all your doing is hooking up pipes to heat exchangers then that simplifies significantly the building of a plant.

Yeah I remember these, like with Internet Explorer, the popular sentiment was to cheer for Flash dying. At most some people were afraid that the creative treasure trove will fade into inaccessibility. Public opinion really is played as a fiddle, by interests with deep pockets.

has this sort of co-ordinated shutdown ever happened before in the history of the nuclear industry?

You're making a huge logical leap assuming that artificial scarcity is the only reason that we produce non-physical goods, and that's easily contradicted by the existence of FOSS. There are plenty of creators who create things for all sorts of reasons besides profit. And in many cases, there are people who want to create free things and can't because of things like patents and IP trolls preventing them from doing it.
"everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth" -mike tyson

If you're not doing some work to understand how your software works in real life, you're just a theoretician, and you're going to get punched in the (virtual) mouth when your naive assumptions fail to materialize in the random world of production.

Do the ops work, just like Ops/SRE cleans up the shit-stew you call your software when it breaks in prod. Or stop writing bugs. You pick.
But remember (actually remember to your founder/CTO/whatever) that the moment enough people get pissed off, growth will stall, particularly in a niche market, word of mouth is relevant.

Before being allowed to have (too many) pissed off customers you (your app) needs to be unreplaceable (or have much worse or no competitors).

If on the other hand you would expect to have no pissed off customers, you will need to reduce your expectations.
Sounds like you've misquoted/mischaracterized him in your link.

"“Test in prod”, I have come to regret this statement, anyone that has listened to some of my interviews, will know I have this statement so that people use caution. It exists to deter people from just using systems without investigation. It does NOT mean that I don’t test... [goes onto explain 5 stages of testing]."

If China aids Russia they may see the same sanctions Russia does, the CCP above all else wants the Chinese GDP to continue to grow. Maybe in 50 years if China becomes a wealthy nation they might start throwing stones but for now, they benefit from playing both sides and letting Russia get weakened and desperate.
A) The Russians absolutely have second sources for era Soviet equipment.

B) Their factories were the original source for a lot of this equipment. Russia is still the second largest arms dealer in the world, only behind the US. I'm sure Putin has no problem delaying export shipments if it comes to that in a "pray I don't alter the deal further" kind of way. And buying back some of his past customers' arms for a deal on future sales is probably something that could be made to happen.

That's an interesting issue for the "metaverse". Once we get past the NFT clown car era, and big-world systems with user created content at high resolution come out, metaverse systems will have to face the bandwidth problem Second Life faces. Delivering assets to the user needs more bandwidth than delivering video. Even 4K video. Second Life delivers content on the fly, and you get to watch stuff appear as content comes in. With enough bandwidth and a gamer PC, it's not bad, but many users are on slow links with weak clients, and suffer badly.

If the work is being done "in the cloud", there can be much more bandwidth to the asset servers.
At least 10GB between game machine and asset store, all within the data center. Flight Simulator needs that, because, like Google Earth, they have a whole planet of assets. A Ready Player One quality metaverse will have the same problem. Or, for example, the Matrix demo for Unreal Engine 5, where you download 16 square kilometers of highly detailed city.

There are performance downsides of cloud gaming. Too much lag, mostly. Speed of light alone is too much slowdown to allow remote VR rendering. At 120 FPS, a few hundred miles of transmission delay alone costs a frame time. Network delay makes it worse. You can't buffer the video ahead, like you can for pre-stored video. The pew-pew crowd gets unhappy above 40ms, although there are tricks for FPS games to make targeting work across laggy links.
Any news on adding the mkfifo command? I requested it a while back and it sounded like it was doable but I have not heard any updates.
> Though now it's hashed before going to FB.

It is however an easily-reversible hash, by design as that's how FB can correlate between the different datasets. When it comes to finite sets such as phone numbers or dates of birth it's also trivial to search the entire space by bruteforce.
You say:

> I think the best methods are trying to get people to pay (who haven't already) are probably guilt or a productive-spirited suggestion.

And you also say:

> I didn't feel badly about it either.

Those don't seem consistent.

The reality is that cracking and using cracked software is ethically and immorally wrong. People do it because they're selfish and can get away with it.
I've actually developed mixed feeling about personal referrals. I know it's supposedly an invaluable pipeline of talent, but it also makes for some real awkwardness. I've referred people who failed the interview process which I found shocking because I know they're qualified. And also I have to try to explain to a friend why they didn't get hired.

Another pitfall of referrals is a lot of people grow and change in their careers and their network probably remembers them in a specific light. I've been referred for jobs where they wanted me to do what I was doing 5 years ago because that's what my colleague remembers of me.

I also tend to think it will enforce more homogeny if you have friends referring friends. Not necessarily and Old Boys Club, but something similar.

I’m sure it’s not ideal, but for my purposes cmd-space (random math) is generally sufficient. But I’m also not a mathematician so I do maths with numbers and not letters :)
So far. One can be surprised they haven't taken these cities earlier, but I wouldn't bet Ukraine won't accept Putin's requests at some point in exchange for the end of the war. (commitment not to enter NATO/Europe + demilitarization + recognition of Crimea being part of Russia + independence of Donetsk and Luhansk republics). Neither NATO nor Europe wants to intervene and China will continue to support Russia to compensate for the sanctions.
RR deciding to lobby in the UK for business where they have few competitors (versus in renewables where their competitive landscape is considerable and growing by the quarter) doesn't seem like an ROI I buy into, much as Phillip Morris' "scientific research" into the effects of smoking on lung cancer didn't seem altogether self-serving.
I’ve used MDHearingaid.com Air for years. They often run a two for one sale, which is a fair price.

I was disappointed when they basically doubled the price of their newest device after adding a second mic, which provides a forward focus. I know their cost didn’t increase more than $50. But, they still sell the Air model.

The company was founded to provide a quality aid at a reasonable price and hasn’t been convinced to sell out to the cartel yet.

I’m really hoping Apple will do something in this market.
Tongue in cheek: the structural changes can’t be as dramatic as the ones brought on by social media fixation on COVID-19.
Honestly, a leading zero in human-readable text is a non-solution.

Year numbers are variable length decimal strings, not a four or five digit fixed length field. Any historian concerned with 6 AD-999 AD will likely not include a leading zero in any year figures they use. I don't see why the people of the present or the future should do any different.

Machine readable implementations, sure. Have as many digits as you wish. But for human written material, it just looks weird.
> Humans can do what, maybe 1000W or so at peak? Non-athletes, I mean.

1000W is “trained biker sprinting”.

> I'd have guessed that over an hour 75W-100W is more realistic.

The mechanical output which can be maintained over a work day is generally estimated around 75W. So accounting for losses 100We for an hours is realistic but vigorous effort.
Body text remains at its original width when ToC is hidden, remaining unreadable at like 10% of screen width (with a lot of blank space).

Only about 50% of the CO2 emissions from standard concrete production are an unavoidable byproduct, the rest are from energy generation and transportation. Currently only 8% of CO2 generation is from Concrete. Replacing coke and natural gas as heat sources would reduce that to about 4%. Electricity and heat make up 30%. Transportation is another 15%.

I think the target is a 60% reduction. If we can replace electric generation, half of concrete, and transportation that would account for about 49%. The rest is agriculture and methane which are their own headaches.

Concrete is probably one of the last things on our CO2 emission hit-list. Kind of an extra credit compared to power generation and transportation.

I had to do something really complex with many pieces out of my control and I realized there is no way to deliver but to be pragmatic.

I also lived in an industrial farm while doing that project and I noticed many areas are incomplete and imperfect yet the farm is operational. It gave me a good metaphor on why large complex spaces will surely have imperfections everywhere, and it's okay.
Many people feel the same. Some who are able immigrate to western countries where corruption is not a overt. Except the US where it’s just legal through campaign contributions and what not. Lol

> The short answer is it depends. In this case where you want to independently distribute a game in a playable state, you need to recreate everything from scratch in order to not violate copyright.

Unless the original is under a license which allows derivatives; e.g., the original SimCity specifically was released (as “Micropolis”, because of trademark issues) under GPLv3 in 2008, so GPLv3 downstream versions (like MicropolisJS) don't have to recreate anything from scratch to avoid copyright issues.
