I like your optimism to believe that SpaceX could do more and better than Roscosmos. These guys have been lauching rockets before Elon was born.
Ideally, you overbuild and have some flexible consumer of electricity that can arbitrarily ramp consumption up or down to suck off any excess supply whenever inflexible basal civilization demand doesn't match supply, e.g. ramp up when everyone is asleep and ramp down if a reactor needs to go offline.

This is called demand response, https://www.energy.gov/oe/activities/technology-development/..., and it's probably as important of a component to future grid management as energy storage.
Seems incompatible. Making you log-in to advertise is a far less effective option than the ability to advertise products to you while you voluntarily use another service, i.e. your email. They could easily do the same adverts and quick order links from your email, but targeted adverts in your inbox is useful information to Google, maybe even better than purchase history since the recommendation work is already completed.

What's out there with a better client device sync option?

This is something I've been looking for for a few PWAs that need to operate on bad/no network, and most other solutions are build your own entire sync setup, or magic-in-a-box you can't tune.

With Couch/pouch, I can sync with a filter/several filters to make sure the subset of data I need is on the device.

Saudi Arabia is a dictatorship run by tyrants who order members of their own family kidnapped abroad, journalists murdered then cut up their bodies to hide the crime, and imprison then extort leading businessmen to consolidate power and money in their hands. They have far more in common with Putin’s Russia than the US.

The US is a long way from that, whatever its flaws (and there are many flaws, chief amongst them making alliances with brutal dictators like the Saudis).
"Medieval" is well put. Sucks to be besieged by the Russian army. What else might they try ? Maybe catapult some dead cows into cities ? Throw dead bodies down wells ? Drop anthrax from drones ? In any case they seem obv keen to avoid urban warfare. Russian mothers are already on alert to the slaughter.

However, tests should have a place in the teachers perspective, because they improve the learning effect (because they trigger the memory retrieval reliably).

Personally, yes? I'd had it silently fail for a few weeks (I misconfigured the expiration alerts somewhere, or maybe the mailer daemon wasn't set up right on that particular vhost, or some package it relied on failed, and it couldn't renew for several weeks but I didn't hear about it until the cert expired and the page failed). On more than one occasion it was an issue.

And when you need wildcards, it gets even more complicated.

Obviously I'm not a very good sysadmin, but that's the point... I don't want to be and don't need to be, not when someone else can do it better and faster.

It's not an ideological thing, just a personal preference for making user-facing features as opposed to tinkering with the backend. Some people enjoy that sort of work. But users don't see it or care about it unless it breaks, which it often does in my experience as a mediocre full-stack dev with increasingly front-end leanings.

Edit: And on newer-generation serverless/Jamstack hosts (Cloudflare, Vercel, Netlify, etc.) you might never even get a shell to tinker with Certbot on. Which is arguably a good thing, especially compared to the bad old days of having to quadruple-configure HTTPS across your CDN, Varnish, Nginx/Apache, Certbot, and maybe cPanel or similar too. Yikes. Every single part of the intermediary chain was prone to frequent breakage. HTTPS these days isn't for authentication anyway, just for preventing drive-by MITM. Even EV certs aren't a good guarantee. So why do it yourself?

Datacenter water use is almost entirely for cooling. The water is evaporated into the air, and falls again as rain, effectively allowing that water to be reused.

In a large river basin, there is a very high chance the water falls again as rain into the very same river it was extracted from. In that case, it's a closed loop system.

This is unlike other water uses, like washing wafers, where the water will end up in a sewer and eventually into the sea.

No, I specifically said that the drivers should be able to choose a ride based solely on cost/benefits - how much in time and money will the ride cost - distance to the pick up spot, distance to the destination, and traffic congestion. You can determine all of that in aggregate based on gps.

If you want to add another variable - rider ratings - that’s fine. Judge people based on their individual behavior - shocking I know.

And despite all of the fear. The chance of a random Uber driver being harmed in a “bad neighborhood” are infinitesimal. Most of the reports of people being harmed on Uber rides was on the part of the driver directed at the passenger.

In Saudi Arabia's case, the legal system does appear to be arbitrary.

> The primary source of law is the Islamic Sharia derived from the teachings of the Qur'an and the Sunnah (the traditions of the Prophet). Saudi Arabia is unique among modern Muslim states in that Sharia is not codified and there is no system of judicial precedent, giving judges the power to use independent legal reasoning to make a decision. Saudi judges tend to follow the principles of the Hanbali school of jurisprudence (fiqh) found in pre-modern texts and noted for its literalist interpretation of the Qur'an and hadith.

> Because the judge is empowered to disregard previous judgments (either his own or of other judges) and may apply his personal interpretation of Sharia to any particular case, divergent judgments arise even in apparently identical cases, making predictability of legal interpretation difficult.

Finland has no other good source of energy. In Sweden and Norway we have hydro capacity that covers more than 50% of need. Then we can cover the rest with nuclear and a small portion of wind power.

In Finland nuclear is the only option. Happy to see it come online.

In the original Dark Souls, the giants in Lost Izalith respawned on bonfires. This was frustrating and dumb and was changed with a patch. But I bought the xbox version and didn't get the patch. I stopped in Lost Izalith in large part because killing those giants over and over was tedious and frustrating as all get out. Would it have been wrong of me to say "I would have had more fun if that area had been easier and I'd been able to challenge myself with the bosses?"

Or imagine an extreme example. Dark Souls gives you hard modes on repeat attempts. So clearly there is a difficulty scaling. Imagine if instead everything was balanced on the first attempt like it is on the 10th. Or imagine if people were forced to complete a SL1 playthrough because level ups were removed? Would somebody then be wrong in asking for an easy mode that was equivalent to the game that was released in real life?

yup. the purpose of couchdb's original attachment support was for "couchapps". The notion that you'd serve your entire application from couchdb. Attachments were therefore for html, javascript, image, font assets, which are all relatively small. The attachment support in CouchDB <= 3.x is a bit more capable than that due to its implementation, but storing large binaries was not strictly a goal of the project.

> Honestly I’m surprised they admitted this.

I think it's because they're lawyers.

I have decidedly mixed feelings about the legal profession, but most lawyers (especially the "establishment" types most likely to be involved in the CA bar) are *very* unlikely to make deliberately false statements (or to fail to correct a past statement, one they learn it was false).

In defiance of thousands of lawyer jokes, in my experience lawyers lie the *least* of any large group of humans I've encountered – at least if "lying" refers only to the specific denotation of the words, since lawyers also love to split hairs to say something that's technically true. But the distinction between a "hack" and a "database error" is _exactly_ the sort of hair that lawyers love to split!

Extreme cost (money and time) to get it built

Difficulties in managing waste

20 years ago I was all for nuclear, then I looked at terrible projects in Europe, like in the Finland and the UK, and realised that it's too little too late. Europe can't build nuclear, so rather than trying to fight a losing battle for another 20 years, Europe should be massively investing in what it can do (offshore wind, tidal, solar, pumped hydro)
They're carefully trying to change ownership of the hot potatoes so that as many of them are in foreign hands as possible.

If Evergrande defaults, foreign bondholders will claim their collateral.

So instead, for example, they have state-owned companies buying up Evergrande's assets, then Evergrande using that money to pay back local creditors, so that Evergrande is eventually left owning neither money nor assets to pay back foreign bondholders. Nothing left to seize in court.

Meanwhile, they are trying not to create a shock in real-estate prices that would undermine the other overleveraged developers, such as would occur if Evergrande unloaded all of their assets at once. Each developer is balancing their debt-to-asset ratio, so if their real estate assets drop in paper value, they end up in Evergrande's position.

Foreign bondholders appear to be playing along with this, which is fascinating; it suggests that either those bondholders are, too, looking to offload their hot potatoes and want to preserve the appearance that they're still worth something as they search for buyers, or else they're using those bonds as collateral for their own loans. As long as credit rating agencies play along and don't drop the credit rating to full default, they may be able to do so.

> Apparently, China, South Korea, Japan and Russia can build at a third of the cost and time of that.

When did Japan last build a nuclear reactor? I don't think any time recently.

South Korea used to be touted as a success at construction without massive overruns, but it turns out that it was largely a result or corruption and skimping on safety inspections:

https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/s-korea-jails-nuclear-work...

As for China and Russia, we don't really have much insight to what they are doing as far as safety. China is seems to be successful at large scale construction projects in a way that we can not replicate in the west, so perhaps their numbers are reasonable for construction costs.

> If nuclear energy should be considered, much more must be built more continuously.

We would need entirely new designs unlike what has been built in the past. Both France and the US have negative learning rates when building the same reactor design multiple times, and that was 50 years ago when construction was a much more effective part of our economies.

I do not believe that nuclear is a smart energy source to pursue given our modern production capabilities. There's a bevy of nuclear startups trying smaller reactors that might be able to constrain construction costs. But in the past these designs have been rejected because of the loss of economy of scale, as being too expensive per watt.

Of the potential carbon neutral energy sources of the future, nuclear is one of the e least practical. It may supply a tiny fraction of our future power, maybe 10%, but without a major revolution soon on construction, our aging reactors will be shut down at end of life without any way to build more of them.

I often pushed for immutable objects specifically for this reason. At construction time you guarantee the state of the object once, otherwise, as you said, complexity doubles with each mutable property.

Tangential: Raif Badawi got freed yesterday although he is still under a 10 year travel ban.

Raif Badawi is a blogger who was charged of "insulting Islam through electronic channels". He was sentenced of seven years in prison, torture and 600 lashes.

Of course no human being could take 600 lashes in one go, they just gave him the first 50 and dragged him back to jail to wait to be able to carry out the rest of the sentence. Due to poor health condition, they were never able to.

Let it be a good reminder of how archaic and retrograde the justice system is in Saudi Arabia.

Most reactor downtime is due to refueling, since that requires cooling down the core through several stages. AFAIK it's not practical to do it safely and economically in under a few weeks.

Most reactor maintenance is already done during refueling so there isn't much more room to optimize that downtime. (though that may change the older a reactor gets)
That's not true. We have vaccines now, that's the only solution, lockdowns were necessary until we had vaccines. We can't be expected to stay in lockdown for ever, covid will not go away, the best weapon we have is vaccination and a level of personal responsibility to stay home if you are ill (doesn't help with asymptomatic transmission). We didn't stop caring, we just aren't going to sit in our houses for another few years for no appreciable benefit.

Right. A useful sink for surplus energy could be something like surplus heat or electricity to synthesize carbon-neutral fuels. We're not likely to get large electric aircraft anytime soon.
As soon as private industry is funding and running nuclear power including the decommissioning costs, plus selling their energy at market rates (in the UK we have guaranteed the new nuclear plants rates that are higher than the next most expensive generators costs) then I'll believe that.

The only way these are remotely economical is when they are funded by the tax payer before the are built, while they run, and after they close down.

Any examples that goes against that? I'd be very interested to learn about them. I think as a way to ensure energy independence and remove fossil fuels they are good, but we cannot pretend they don't come with massive costs, and don't yet pay their own way.
Sure! But it's 'less' than a dairy farm, which is why I wonder if there could be a middle ground. Also, I saw a new company makes lab-grown nuggets from proteins found in discard chicken feathers. That must be getting close enough to some Vegans considering it is acceptable. I have a friend who's a vegan who said they'd happily eat a steak if the cow fell onto a BBQ in such a way it cut a nice cut of sirloin that perfectly cooked, so there is definitely a tipping point somewhere of what's acceptable and what isn't. If the source cells are taken from an animal in a way a Vegan finds acceptable then surely all byproducts from that point on are okay.
