Yes. If wikipedia is correct, construction on two new reactors at Virgil C. Summer started in 2013 and the project was abandon in 2017. The bankruptcy filings cited 9 billion dollar loss. This affair is dubbed The Nukegate Scandal.

And before that, at the Alvin W. Vogtle plant in Georgia, there are 2 new reactors under construction. Approved by the NRC in 2009, they are projected to open next year at the cost of over $30 billion. Initial planning had the reactors open in 2016-2017 with an upper estimate of $16.4 billion. Big surprise, there is also a bankruptcy case aligned with this construction, which is the only nuclear project under construction in the USA.

My first thought was to abuse the Web client. Run a server somewhere which hooks into JS in headless Chrome, parses commands and sends messages (requires a dummy user). The client could be based on the Web client, too. But I'm not sure if it's feasible and it's probably against the Terms of Use.

Yep. Either I tune out the music or I can't focus no the work.
Netflix failed precisely because it's a tech company at its core. It can't outlobby the copyright industry, because it lacks the experience, the goodwill, and the political connections. And the celebrities supporting its goals. If Netflix wants to be successful in the entertainment industry, it must act like an entertainment company and give more power to the producers and the creatives.
The article makes some good arguments elsewhere, but this is one of its weaker points. There's no explanation of why 200 million is "fairly easy" while 300 million is "hard". If Netflix was at 300 million today, the magic "hard" number would be 400 million, and 300 would have been the "easy" number.
I too was thinking about Ghost Love Score. I get it especially when watching reaction videos when noticing that others are getting it. So, it might not just due to the music itself, but also be a social/emotional effect. I have literally have weekends where I only watched reaction videos and got it over and over again.
I always tell people, Maths isn't a science. It's theoretical philosophy.
Totally agree. If streaming video could get the same terms as streaming audio/radio (standardized mandatory licensing fees) and services could compete on encoding (cost efficiency on their end) and UI/UX (which Netflix is... not great) that would be an entirely different ballgame.
It doesn't matter if assessments are high or low. It just matters that your particular assessment is equitable with respect to your neighbours. What matters is the mill rate. If your taxes have gone up it's because your taxing authority has decided to raise more money.

Reporters that conflate assessments with taxes raised are lacking basic numeracy.

Amen, I fondly recall the days when browsers went back to exactly the same page and data that I was on before when I click the back button.

Database driven sites and apps have experienced great performance and functional gains since the marketing teams pushed SPAs onto everything and it's tragic that billions of dollars will be thrown off a cliff (once again) to refactor everything back to prior methods... Hubris always wins until it fails massively.

That being said, SPAs do work well for certain things, but people just keep losing track of the right shoe for the right foot.
So you say: don't look believe the researched article which has plenty of researched evidence, but instead believe my one meaningless data point instead.

If you read the article, it goes through the cost analysis and even calculates the numbers for heavy deregulated, it still does not add up.
If this is a real labor shortage, it's possible to do a lot more pre-cutting and just assemble on site. 120 years ago, Sears sold entire pre-cut house kits. Good ones. Some are still in use.[1] There are kit homes today from many sources.

Now, the border is more porous than ever. There's plenty of labor -- go to any home improvement store parking lot. And that's just the illegal labor -- boost wages and you could recapture legal workers.

But for now, go to any construction site in California, and you'll hear only Spanish spoken between the carpenters, roofers, etc. and their supervision.

That usually is true if your electricity is generated by natural gas too and you're comparing it against a gas HWH

Rough math is

NG -> Electricty is 50% efficient thermally.

A heat pump can have a COP of 4.2.

100 * .5 * 4.2 = 210% efficient, thermally

A hot water heater powered directly by gas is ~100% efficient thermally.

My father was a independent carpenter and it took a toll on him. He had to do it if he was going to be able to get by while young and still living with his parents (my grandfather was also a carpenter.) It was a life of toil: plenty of injuries, probably maybe preventable if he managed safety a bit, lost fingers in an table saw accident (while working in construction during the late 60s on new NYC housing project development.) He never wanted me to do the work he did nor ever take on the lifestyle he did, unlike what was forced on him and loved to see that I had a strong interest in computer programming, thinking I would be a millionaire by the time I was 30 (didn't happen :) ) My brother went into a trade, but not into carpentry.

The only time I was required to do anything carpentry-related was during summers because he thought (rightfully) I would just sit around and do nothing. I never felt cut out for it - it was very hard work that requires patience and strong will, besides physical strength and if I think one is not careful, it will catch up to one's self, like it did with my father.
The number of people who care about this kind of stuff is very low. Most people just want to watch movies, laugh, cry. They don’t even know about the culture war. That’s only relevant in the bubble of malcontent that is mostly made up of twitter users.

And the greatest frisson moment in the whole of Anglican choral music: the Nunc Dimittis from Herbert Howells' Gloucester Service.

Start listening at the beginning of the Gloria (well, listen to the whole thing if you can, but if you're pushed for time start here):

https://youtu.be/4jmxJa4kMGM?t=131

The famous frisson moment in this recording is at 2m57: "as it was". Three reasons. One is the shifting chords in the organ part and the tenor/bass parts that lead up to it (the "expectancy violations"). The second is just the pure thrill of trebles soaring to a top A like that. And the third you only get if you listened to the Magnificat beforehand, which in its natural environment - a service of choral Evensong - you would: the "as it was" in the Gloria of the Nunc is _almost_ exactly the same as it was in the Mag... just a beat later. Pure "expectancy violation" again.

Howells is full of these moments. The big, crunchy, discordant Amen in the Gloria of the Magdalen Service is my favourite - where the harmonies are offset by a crescendo/diminuendo/crescendo sequence in the choir, all on the same note.
Don't worry - Fusion will be here in 20 years.
> Yes, that's the entire point of accounting. They use ASC 920 and 926 accounting standards, so that anyone familiar with GAAP can understand what they're looking at.

Things like depreciation curves are not standardized. It may all be GAAP, but there's a huge difference in how Disney's Coco was depreciated vs how Netflix's Bright depreciated in their respective accounting books.

The question is whether the 18-month schedule for Coco makes more sense than the 5-year schedule of Netflix's Bright.

I support your optimism and believe we can move in that direction. However I still believe you severely underestimate the scale of misery, solitude, and unmet desires amongst humanity. Also, you mention it won't be possible to make everyone perfectly content, implying some will be more content than others. How is that fair? Why must some have fewer friends, lovers, positive experiences, adventures, achievements etc? This is a fundamental psychological inequality in the world that could only be balanced by AI.
Property taxes certainly have issues; they tax building improvements, but we want those, so we shouldn’t be incentivizing people to not improve their buildings.

Land value tax is the proper way to go, questions of how to value land aside.

The issue with a wealth tax is it’s inflationary - most taxes are deflationary but a wealth tax forces you to sell assets to get their cash from them. It does encourage rich people to mark up their assets less, which might reduce apparent income inequality aka make poor people less jealous of them…
No, it's not at all like that. If someone hands you papers to sign and you give them different papers without telling them so, that is clear intent to deceive, which makes it fraud, or at minimum makes the contract void.
The ISP in general isn’t going looking for your torrent traffic. The DMCA groups are, and when they find it, they contact your ISP to enforce it. If it’s a private tracker, there’s a decent chance the DMCA groups’ tracking bots aren’t able to see that traffic.

It happened to my father - lost his two right middle fingers on a table saw. I suppose this was before OSHA rules had wider-reaching impact, because he lost them in the late 60s (while working on construction for the NYC housing authority ... so it could have been union at that time, but I don't remember what he said.)
Seriously did nobody read the article?! Is this reddit or Slashdot?! The article goes through the calculations, it shows that even with deregulation LWRs would not be competitive. It says that other designs might be, if they ever get off the ground.

And let's not discuss the fact that regulation affects many markets which work perfectly fine and when lifes depend on it they should be. I'd rather not that the CRT gives me a deadline dose of radiation because the programmer was playing fast and loose with his unit conversions.
I think you're half right.

You might have read a specialized article and understood it, i.e. created a meaningful whole of all the parts. But you cannot verify it from prior experience with the domain, so it is an internally unconfirmed reading. In addition, subtle key terms might have been replaced with their mundane meanings.

So while you understood the article, you don't have enough information (yet) to confidently say that you understood it correctly.

Over time you gain domain knowledge, and it becomes easier to verify assumptions of new things you read, or to question and correct your own apparatus of understanding.

There's an important observation to be made here, though, with regards to this behavior. Whenever subject field outsiders want to discuss a matter in my field of study, they invariably simplifies what they've read to childish levels and relate some personal property or recent event in their own life. I recognize they're simply being social, and appreciate the interaction for what it is, rather than getting annoyed by what it isn't.

Human beings are social beings, and many internet comments (including of own) are just expressions of individuality and basic human need to partake rather than thoughtful arguments in an actual effort to discover something new.

That said, I do believe e.g. Einstein's Relativität was written for the larger non-expert audience, so I would expect it to safeguard against most of the interpretative traps that would entail.
Here's a sample letter:

Dear government I'm trying to subvert, I complain about the instability of your useful, fiat currency, so I entered into a get rich quick scheme with no intention of reporting gains on my taxes. This obvious scam fell apart. Please punish them with the government system I don't believe in.
This is silly.

This is like saying physics is not science because the nutjobs claiming we will recieve divine revelation by praying to "the quantum energy field" use physics-y terms in their BS.
Okay how many people really believe in that stuff?
No chance that would've worked. Netflix saw themselves as a content creation company because they realized that having great content is the only way to keep growing.
So your proposal is that whenever literally any ui interaction is performed the server is notified and the page is reloaded with the server state?

> There is a huge problem, and it isn't the regulations. Every new plant design is more expensive than the last. Make cheaper nuclear plants. It is that simple. Scale it down or scale it up, I don't know, but do something other than allow it to be unprofitable and keep bitching about regulations... rather than design a plant that has a sane build and operating cost,

Part of the problem here is encapsulated in "every new plant design". What you aren't saying is that practically every new plant is a new design.

There are multiple reasons for this. One is a bit of a chicken and egg issue: because starting up new nuclear power projects is rare, it has probably been quite a few years since the last time someone started one. So the last plans you used probably need a serious update. Another is NIMBYism that takes the firm of objections thrown up arbitrarily that require changes to be made.

The answer is as you suggested, to scale the plant size down, and the number of them up: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_modular_reactor
There's also the part of "by the way, if you want any of the crappy UST we bought into using your money, make sure you claim it before the fork on May 27th or before the end of June! Peace out!"
200 million "was" easy climb (for Netflix). I don't think it meant its easy in general. More of Netflix made it look like it's easy, (for Netflix). Now we see reaching 500 is not easy for them.

Is it actually doing that though? The main mine-able crypto is Ethereum and I don't think Nvidia is specifically optimizing their consumer gaming GPUs for maximizing hashrates. The only innovation in this regard is their "mining" gpus which are the same thing as their normal GPUs just without physical video outputs.

I'm not complaining about the market forces causing GPUs to be expensive, I'm complaining about the non-regulation of marketing these as securities to laymen, which is exactly what is happening right now every time you see an NFT or ICO ad on Facebook or Instagram.

Wolf on Wall Street is a movie about this happening before in history, and the current craze around crypto is exactly the same thing and the reason why the qualified investor rules were made.

If you stop dumb money being funneled into crypto, and stop the moral acceptance of chasing dumb money, you can free people to pursue more noble causes.

I'm not anti crypto, but anyone can see that a good chunk, if not a majority, of current interest in crypto is due to chasing dumb money and greed. If I recall correctly Vitalik Buterin tweeted about this excess attention before. Bad attention could kill crypto before it can truly even get its feet off the ground.
Probably the same reason that SpaceX was able to build human rated orbital rockets with a marginal cost that’s a fraction of what came before.

The incumbents are corrupt, the regulations are overbearing and bloated, the government has no interest in solving the problem. Fortunately, it doesn’t really matter what we think, the Chinese will continue to advance and deploy the nuclear state-of-the-art and become an energy superpower, while the US and Europe debate the issue until we’re made irrelevant.

“Content is King”
We all know this, Netflix knows this. And yet for some reason for years they have been aiming for quantity and not quality.

Money is not enough in this department and baseball metaphors don’t do justice illustrating just how hard it is to put together a team that has that special thing going on. Some would argue it’s impossible - teams like the one behind Better Call Saul are just extremely rare and can’t be rushed. The traditional system has sort of known this for a long time, I think.

Netflix tried rushing. I’ve personally worked on a failed series season made by the company and it was a chaotic clusterfuck. So are their efforts in ordering and buying content haphazardly to stuff their library with something. Now they’re probably going to have to learn the slow quality development and bring back many of the traditional practices they threw out the window.

This is a good thing for audiences though. I think we’re going to be seeing Netflix settle as one of many big content delivery platforms in the long term.
HBO releases multiple good seasons every year. Many years they have a good show on every quarter.
You're going to have to source this because there's been absolutely no need for gas plants in the two cities I've lived in that were both powdered by nuclear in Europe.
Thanks! This is a good reality check!
I’m bored of Netflix. They have simply gone the assembly line direction instead of the direction of art, at least for some big niches. For example, every True Crime docuseries on Netflix is the same crap. Once you’ve seen three, you’ve seen them all. They get each cop involved in a big empty room, sit them on a solitary chair, put a dramatic light above them, and shoot them in 4k. Then they direct it at a pace to bore the hell out of you.

My business produces storytelling videos for e-commerce and we almost got into the television/entertainment business at one point, as it is simply so cheap to pump out middling quality documentaries. Stock photography and interviews and cheap-but-good editing. You’ll notice solo YouTubers are making great documentaries. I don’t know how they are spending so much money considering the quality of much of the crap they make. High schooler YouTubers make similar quality with their iPhones.

There must be thousands of talented directors who haven’t been given their big break yet who have artistic ideas and would almost work for free to be given a chance to make a name for themselves. Give them resources and a chance and see who has what it takes.

This is only one relevant factor, ofcourse.

Unrelated: I’m currently trying out CuriosityStream so I feel less guilty for the time I spend watching TV. At least I’ll be learning something.

That's a myth. Regulatory requirements for all large scale power generation have to deal with very similar regulatory requirements, which typically scales with size of the project. In fact wind had likely to deal with more restrictions than nuclear (largely to protect the nuclear investments of operators), let's not even talk about certain housing communities not allowing rooftop solar for aesthetic reasons.
