> This includes the complete chain from uranium mining to waste disposal.

Yes, but that's just the CO2 emissions and completely ignores the financial cost of tearing down the plants and maintain the waste site. The teardown for a nuclear site can easily reach dozens of billions of dollars, and the forever costs (literal translation of the German word Ewigkeitskosten) even more. Many countries have some sort of trust fund, but these are nowhere near enough to cover the costs (which is conveniently ignored by politicians because if they would do something about it, nuclear power would not be cost-efficient any more).

> You make a good point in that it takes a long time to build and certify new nuclear power plants. This is one more reason why we need to start building them now rather when we realize that we are still burning too much coal, gas and oil in 2030.

Why build nuclear plants at all and load our children with the debt of having to take care of even more nuclear waste than we already have? I mean, in the US you have enough deserts to bury that stuff until the sun explodes, and if some accident happens it will stay contained... but Europe is too geologically unstable and most importantly way too densely settled and Russia isn't a destination either, geopolitical tensions aside the permafrost is thawing and just dumping stuff into the Arctic Ocean should be out of the question.

Also, nuclear plants need nuclear fuel, which is difficult to mine, creates a lot of toxic waste and most importantly nearly three quarters of the world's production originate from one or another kind of dictatorship, kingdoms and other barely functioning governments [1]. What use is it to discontinue oil and gas from Russia and OPEC if all it does is tying us to the next bunch of dictators?

The base night load can be handled by geothermal, wind and water (dams, tidal energy) - the most important thing is to create solid trans-European power lines that can handle shifting energy all around the continent. For the daily peak load, add solar to the mix.

Alternatively, news about hacking that you read, including their primary sources like Google/Microsoft/FireEye/whatever, usually suppress news about hacking by U.S. and allies. IIRC last year Google publicly announced a zero day actively exploited by the U.S. which was considered highly unusual, since apparently they usually just patch it without fuzz. The article was discussed here but I can’t find it now.
I view the morality around IP law as an implicit contract with society. Actual theft is wrong because I am depriving someone of something without their consent. Pirating is wrong because it disincentives the production of further work. If there's no option to pay, then piracy doesn't affect the incentive structure at all, except possibly sending a a signal that there's still demand there.
France went 100% nuclear power in basically 15 years. I'd love to see the current conflict catalyze action here. Aggressive fission growth is the only way to fast track clean energy independence for most countries.
Or just provide the infrastructure to charge 50 trucks at once, like we already do with massive fuel stations that have a dozen pumps and the driveways to handle the traffic.

World War III has already started.
I produce these Kokonauts http://instagram.com/kokonautinc

Started using development boards and designed the pcb around it with the sensor and sold as a mvp. Then later the entire board and now iterating on that.

Use CAD to design the board such as KiCad, Diptrace and then get the board produced at jlcpcb or oshpark. You can assemble the pcb with the components at Pcbway, Seeedstudio, Aisler, etc.

Started manually flashing the firmware and every step was done by hand. The firmware flashing and testing is now automated. Continuing working on further automation. The board house also offers to do this but it's done by hand and I thought it would be fun to work on automation plus it saves a few dollars on each board.

The software follows the usual software development lifecycle.

The enclosure initially used 3dprintuk (jlcpcb also offers 3dprinted enclosures too) to produce. Now use a Prusa Mk3s+. FDM 3d printers are getting really good so not sure when to get injection mold. Quality of injection molded part is still the best. You can get a resin 3dprint (jlcpcb offers that) then vacuum cast for a few hundred for a few pieces before injection mold.
One of the two winners of the Nobel Prize in medicine from 2005 (Barry Marshall) gave himself ulcers just to prove he understood causation and the cure. He and his partner (Robin Warren) in the research won the prize for that treatment.
It’s time to stick a pin in the suburbia ponzi scheme and call this failed experiment done. Separating people from their place of work by a forced commute was a great subsidy for the automotive and petroleum industries, but that is over now.

That's a huge amount of territory gained, especially when you keep in mind that the russians invaded with roughly the same amount of men that Ukraine is defending it's territory with.

This would've been completely impossible back in 2008
Liquid fuels are generally less flammable, and minor leaks don't present a serious problem. Batteries will never have the capacity needed by long distance merchant ships. Fuel weight isn't very relevant, it's tankage volume that matters more. Ships don't have enough free surface area to generate much useful power from solar panels. Wind generators are counterproductive if you actually want to go anywhere because the extra drag exceeds any power they generate.

Long term I expect we'll primarily use nuclear and renewable power plants on shore to drive manufacturing of synthetic liquid hydrocarbon fuels for marine and aviation markets. That appears to be the safest option and won't require rebuilding entire major industries.

What I find fascinating is that my comment about my personal reaction got a bunch of downvotes and several dismissive replies, including this one lecturing me about inclusion. And yet not one person who reacted negatively bothered asking me:

- whether I have a disability (yes)

- whether my reaction is consistent with views expressed to me by some others who have disabilities and/or work with/advocate for others who do (yes)

- whether I even have any interest in trying to convince others to change this language usage (not much; it would be welcome if people consider it but it’s nowhere near my priority list)

Now I’m not claiming that I—or anyone else who has a similar reaction—speak for all disabled people. But uh, you may want to re-read your comment. Particularly the last paragraph.
“Real capitalism?”

What you are describing is imaginary capitalism. Real capitalism is what we have right now, by definition.

Every tweak and injustice in our current system is there for some reason or another- the externalized costs, the resource wars, the monopolies, the surveillance state. Those things are there because capitalism is structurally unstable without them.

You can’t solve the problems capitalism created with more capitalism.
Are you sure you never had an issue, or did you just not notice? Ext4 and xfs can mangle your files and never let you know because they don't checksum. This comes up often in comparisons and I wish people paid attention to the difference.
I wish the Windows software landscape was as interesting as the Mac. Windows gets all the best games, but if you aren’t interested in games, there isn’t a whole lot of anything new or interesting. The web, although newer, is just as dull these days. iOS and Android aren’t doing much better.

Maybe it’s a sign that personal computing is now about as interesting as other appliances. Things are mature.

One method I’ve found: realizing that something I don’t like may simply be ripped out in its entirety at some point, and therefore I may be wasting time obsessing over its minor details right now. (And deleting hundreds of lines of an awful module later is a much better feeling than any amount of optimization beforehand.)

Also, I found that I tend to perfect only the things that I work on alone. As soon as anyone else is involved, you have to start worrying about things like not making difficult merges, and most perfections fall into the category of “PITA merge”. That grand 50,000-line code-reformatting that someone did will not really help, it will just come up again and again across 4 branches that they didn’t know existed, as each person trips over the same things. And I guarantee there is at least one tiny bug in that reformat somewhere. So don’t do it; keep things as close to what they were before as possible, pretty or not, for as long as it lives, unless you can be absolutely sure that there won’t be other branches out there.

17 Equations that changed the course of history
One thing that surprises me, which became more obvious as a result of the pandemic, and screamingly obvious as a result of Russia invading Ukraine, is the national security implications of fuel and energy security.

What blows my mind is the chasm between national security paranoia due to terrorism and absolute inaction and denial on national security around energy.

It may be more obvious since I'm in Australia, where we have boundless open spaces and abundant sunshine as well as some of the highest electricity costs in the world (despite also having an abundance of coal), in combination with being remote and dependent upon external sources of petrol / fuel; Australia has been in breach of the IEA obligations on fuel security for years[0][1]. Australia should be exemplary for the use of electric vehicles and solar power, and yet it lags behind much of the developed world.

In addition to the current Australian government being rabidly anti-renewables, such as rolling back the carbon price policy in 2014[2][3] after it was put in place in 2011 that looked as if it made a measurable difference to Australia's carbon emissions[4].

I'm an angry motherfucker about it, and it's my primary vote-deciding issue.

The Green New Deal, as it says in that article, is not a particular proposed piece of legislation but a collection of proposals. Nonetheless, each of these does contain particular proposals. And you didn't pick a proposal, you picked a goal. A sample actual proposal is "invest x dollars over y years upgrading the electrical grid as a necessary precursor to more widespread adoption of variable but renewable power sources". "Invest x dollars over y years to subsidize the transition to electrified transportation", i.e., tax incentives and grants to build charging stations and get people to buy electric cars -- another proposal. These have actually been worked out in excruciating detail in one Green New Deal-esque legislative proposal: the Build Back Better plan. They had to work it out in detail because they had to put a pricetag to it so they could submit it to the Congressional Budget Office. This legislation has a vast amount of detail, but maddeningly its opponents deride it both for being too detailed ("Who could read this doorstop!? We don't know what we're voting on! Government red tape!") and for being a blank check.

Well, it is not only about people. You would also want to "convince" Nature (so that the aircraft you designed does not crash right after a takeoff), your own or, often, someone else's wallet (so that money is not spent on nothing).
Underselling Hawking
You have bought into a logical fallacy - a common one pushed by the many people who have agendas for whatever reason to dismiss IQ (and thereby all psychometrics, in practice). If you are really interested in understanding IQ, which is not a question of being "real" but a metric created to measure the g-factor, you can educate yourself via unbiased sources in the field of Intelligence. Just to contribute a bit to your education, though, let me point out that the examples of "debunking" you have listed confuse within-individual differences over time with between-individual differences, the latter having been shown to be extremely stable.

Simultaneously, Russian ground forces have had a hell of a time using their encrypted radios, resulting in the logistical and tactical omnishambles observed by many, and fallback transmitting in the clear using civilian ham radios or cell phones.

Some have attributed this to difficulty in distributing encryption keys to forward units or just general incompetence, but one fun theory I saw on twitter is that Russia uses SDRs somewhere in their radio net and a similar poison packet bricked them all.
People always argue about this when it comes up, it’s basically the no true Scotsman thing. Call it what you want, but it’s generally a lot more “free market” than targeted subsidies/penalties designed by legislators - eg $5000 back if you buy an EV, but only if that manufacturer has sold less than 500,000 cars, and a bonus if it was made in a union shop with x% American parts.

> 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.

I think math people may have a view of this question that is skewed in an interesting way.

Statistics is very useful and its common techniques are not difficult to apply.

But they seem to be very difficult to apply correctly. We have entire academic fields that are built mostly on the spurious application of statistical methods in contexts that make the whole project invalid.

And this sort of "techniques without theory" approach is what's being advocated for upthread and represents a failure mode that math people are unlikely to consider -- because they know that part of being able to apply a technique is being able to tell whether or not applying it is valid. Math people are unlikely to fall into the trap this approach sets. But the same people who want this approach are also likely to end up being hurt by it.
