This is great. My father had a file we all knew about called "When I Die" (yes he had morbid sense of humour) with instructions about things like belongings assets, funeral etc. Writing this out for us took so much weight off our shoulders knowing that we were able to deal in an organised fashion with things according to his wishes.

Another commenter talked about lasting PoA and they are good to have too in case of incapacitation. But it should also be accompanied with guidelines so people know how to give care for both the indisposed and those most immediately affected.

All of this boils down to this being a document that shows your survivors how much you love them by dealing with this while you can.
Intrinsic value (or fair value) is a meaningless concept when applied to currencies. The US dollar has value because the US government maintains a fairly effective monopoly on violence over a large chunk of real estate. They require residents to pay taxes in that currency, and if you don't pay then the government will seize your assets by force. Overall this system works pretty well.
I suspect the energy density is low enough that the activity of moving them to a location for processing would be net-energy negative.

>Free speech - yep, I can speak without forcing anyone else to do anything.

Great, except this means less than you think. Negative right (e.g. "freedom from X") free speech means that it's 100% legal for Comcast, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, various Mastodon instances[0], that weird Trump-only social network, and whatever other platforms are out there to censor you because they're "not the government" and are merely refusing to publish something rather than banning it with the force of law. Free speech online is entirely a positive right (e.g. "freedom to have X"), because it all relies on private actors cooperating to publish your speech. In a negative-freedom world, the Internet is a censorship hellscape.

Positive freedom to speak would be something like net neutrality - i.e. common carrier rules. Nobody is obligated to provide Internet services, but if they do, they can't arbitrarily refuse service to certain people based purely on the user's speech. Right to shelter could work in a similar fashion - i.e. you don't have to build housing, but if you do, a certain percentage of it needs to be cheap housing. Or, instead of just mandating housing just exist, we just have the government spend a certain amount of tax outlays - that we already collect - on new home construction on the open market. We don't compel the workers to build housing with a gun, we compel them with money, which is a kind of compulsion that even the most free-market capitalist society readily accepts as legitimate.

Conversely, there are also negative-right conceptions of "housing as a human right", too. It could mean, for example, that zoning laws are unconstitutional. Right now there are plenty of government interventions in the housing market that are there to specifically prohibit certain kinds of housing arrangements - usually multi-family units - in certain areas. These arrangements impinge upon the market's ability to actually supply increased demand, and thus drive up the price of housing and price poorer people out of the market. Even if you entirely deny the existence of positive rights, think taxation is theft, and think Murray Rothbard had some good ideas... how is that not a violation of human rights?

Wait until you find out about what happens with disused oil wells.
It may be that your relative lives near a house that is infested. I had a friend who was constantly fighting them because the neighbors were hoarders and liked to deep fry without cleaning up the grease.

Also, check to make sure P-Traps are filled, especially if there is a sink that isn't used often. I've seen them clustered around manholes for sewers and come out of drains. Another common problem is an improperly sealed plenum space where they can reproduce in the dark.

There will always be one or two that show up eventually, but keeping a clean house will usually do the trick. If you live in an area with large numbers of them, Boric acid and diatomaceous earth are pretty good at keeping down infestations. Just adding some to cracks in base boards and doorways seems to keep them down pretty well. Roaches in particular seem resistant to most neurotoxin based solutions like *-methrines and malathion.

Refactor or Rewrite: Things every programmer should consider
As far as life-cycle costs go: what about end of life? That's the big elephant in the room.

Over the past decades, a couple of hundreds of plants have been build globally. Doing nuclear fission safely is a massively complex technological undertaking. While the basic principles are by and large the same, the concrete designs of each of those plants aren't similar. Therefor, decommissioning a nuclear plant is equally complex and expensive, and requires a per-case approach. And currently, there is a growing number of plants which are pretty much EOL, where upkeep costs outstrip revenue.

Sure, there's an argument to be made about the operational costs per kWh between solar / wind / nuclear relative to the revenue they generate over their lifespan. But compared to solar / wind, the perceived economical benefits of those solutions are also offset by their initial cost of construction and their decommissioning.

If consumers / voters / taxpayers assume that they get to enjoy cheap power while the costs of those won't ever land on their doorstep, they are in for a surprise.
> have been told multiple times by the EU that the reserves that operators have to provide for decommissioning of plants are much too low

Why is the EU more trustworthy on these estimates than the French?
Part of the whole reason for the homogenization that comes with commodification is the goal of delivering something that maximizes the reach of the product. So you get these intense markets full of choice that is appealing broadly to consumers if not very differentiated. Hence things like competition based on aesthetics, branding and fandom versus core product differences. In games this leads there to be a niche for some innovation but it's not a very sustainable one for the developers and the market as a whole is oriented against it. Which is obviously okay for the average individual consumer but not necessarily great or health for the medium itself.

So in a long winded way I agree this is something that you'll care more about the more you care about the practice of game design itself.
This seems pretty off-base to me. A lot of folks with PhD's in physics are working in industry. And a lot of the folks working on distributed systems don't have PhD's in that field.
All that stuff you're describing would still need to be sent to space, for no upside. That includes the 27km+ long collider ring. I haven't even mentioned the fact that this stuff is built 100 metres underground precisely to avoid noise from cosmic radiation.

Apparently one step of omiai while evaluating each other was "Toward the end of the meeting, the potential couple were often advised to go off to spend some time alone, in order to get better acquainted.", which on its own pretty much sounds like the modern concept of dating.

I've seen big changes in a generation or two in Spain and the UK, while we don't "date" anymore, we just "hang out" with another person we are interested on. Dates over here seem outdated and too serious, something our parents did. However in Japan, they can mean a more casual out of two people of opposite sex, to the point that a couple can also go on a date after being married (which doesn't make sense if you see dating strictly as the precursor of finding a significant other).

That's a pretty darn big reason when women select for financial stability rather aggressively and with the "do your dues" mentality the job market has combined with prolonged studying. By far most people would not point out "just age" as the cause, but the things which come with age to most men naturally.
Collapse your own false vacuum and please do it very far from Earth, I'd like to enjoy our particles a bit more.
I don't think you do need to prove this is better for everyone instead of just locals, the local government's primary responsibility is to the electorate - which in the UK is the people who live in the local area. It's obviously quite limited what local councils can actually do though - they can determine council tax, and they can determine what types of business operate where - which is what this would be covered by. There are obviously limits to how far the responsibility to local residents extends - but I don't think it's unreasonable for it to be the highest priority. Ultimately, if the council did something that was really damaging nationally there are plenty of levers that national government can pull to overcome that (they provided significant funding to councils and ultimately national legislation takes precedence).

A case in point - recently one MP came out and said he didn't have confidence in Boris Johnson. Hilariously in retaliation the government announced they were green lighting a fracking site in his constituency. (this isn't very relevant, but it is very funny and demonstrates the limits local councils have)

> your technology is disastrous without perfect handling, your technology is disastrous

Did we watch the same miniseries? Chernobyl went beyond gross negligence. To say nothing of perfection. In the reactor design, in its operation and in post-crisis management.
When you say 'primary cost' do you mean construction cost? Again, utility managers will be looking at lifecycle costs, from the cradle (construction) through use (fueling, security, cooling water, maintenance) to the grave (decomissioning).

The reason costs are high is not political, it's that the systems involved need to be over-engineered relative to say, a coal-fired power plant, where a breakdown or fire will create a big mess, but not a 100-year exclusion zone. Water pumps for nuclear reactor cooling systems, for example, are the most robustly engineered (and expensive) pumps ever built, as far as I know.

For example, California's decision to close the San Onofre reactor was mostly related to maintenance costs, as their steam generator system was shaking itself to pieces and had to be shut down due to the radioactive loop leaking into the non-radioactive steam generation system. The rational conclusion is that long-term maintenance of nuclear reactors is an expensive proposition, due to catastrophic failure modes:

Yeah, plus people use whatever they think is the best. If you're an authority on the subject, tell them.
We do it already on a grand scale.

It's just that since we live in a world where we burn lots of gas, we don't need to do the "generate synthetic methane" step, we can just burn less of it.

Sure, we could spend billions on generating synthetic methane from renewables while at the same time burning natural methane, but that would be stupid.

Wind and solar got better, but it seems fundamentally problematic to me to suggest that those are the alternatives to nuclear. They're not.

Fossil fuel is the alternative to nuclear (and possibly battery supported wind/solar) as the base load. Fossil fuels are fundamentally cheaper because they can more easily avoid paying the cost of their negative externalities than nuclear can. If we could actually internalize the negatives of fossil fuel burning (i.e. by carbon tax) then nuclear might actually be the most economical option for the base load with solar and wind picking up the slack.

I tried it before but it just seems incredibly boring to me
An ex-colleague posted a Change.org petition asking the government to massively cut fuel duty (thus, subsidise those with ICE cars and indirectly the Oil Industry) as somehow a way to attack the cost of living problem.

Completely batshit. If the treasury wants to give poor people £5B it can just do that, but by instead reducing taxes on petrol (foregoing revenue of £5B) you're not giving that money to poor people but to whoever buys fuel and whoever they're buying it from. Sure enough of course said ex-colleague has a big inefficient car, and so this would suit them fine and they can pretend it's because they're concerned about "ordinary families".

They didn't need perfect handling, just halfway competent.

But since the rest of the world doesn't build reactors of that type, and never built any without even a containment building AFAIK, it's not really applicable to modern nuclear power plant designs.

Or maybe everyone's grossed out by the kinds of sex normalized today.

My wife knows many women who have had terrible experiences on dates with boys, including pre-marital sexual activity, and have sworn off on marriage as well. Many have anecdotes of young men wanting to recreate pornographic scenes of incredible debauchery with them. For example, many have had men want to choke them. Perhaps large portions of people are disgusted by the kinds of sexual acts now considered 'normal' and find it difficult to ascertain what kind of things any potential date is into. Others she knows have been exposed to pornography, don't like what they see, and have determined they are asexual. Of course, this all disappears the moment they meet a man who actually loves them, and it turns out they are not asexual, they're just not into what's commonly portrayed as normal.

At the end of the day, only a slim minority of people were interested in 'sexual liberation'. Most people thought sex was good enough before, as evidenced by the copious amount of premarital sex, children, and higher reported sexual happiness.

My wife and I got married very young, so when I hear about all these things, we're both relatively shocked.
scarring consumption is probably a good thing at an individual level as most people are reckless with money

I don't think it's about experience. It's just different approaches geared to the individual. I really dislike it when people assume that anything other than their way of working is down to experience.

I've been doing this for 10 years and I've tried the design doc first route and it's arduous for me. I have coworkers who absolutely love that route.

I generally just do it in parallel. Coding to me is like sketching. So I get down my ideas in code, and I document the design as I go. I switch between the two as each one informs the other.
So, not a utility. It’s a refreshing take that I haven’t heard in years at this point.

I was about to say it doesnt say why or what precisely is happening
There's a lot of wanting to paper over underlying issues with things that "sound nice" - why do low wage employees need more wages? Because housing is scarce and very expensive. Adding more money to cover that just funnels it into housing - the underlying problem should be addressed and managed rather than papering over it with higher wages.

But nobody von nobodypants wants to suggest that we enact policies that are designed to lower housing costs, increase supply, and drop the value of single family homes.

The problems with Nuclear are simple and straight forward:
(1) Economic not viable if you include the total life cycle cost of the system (i.e. nuclear waste storage and dismantling the asset.

Theres a large difference between building new reactors vs running the old ones until the end of life (in terms of economics).

Also the modular reactors that are getting a lot of hype right now also still have a nuclear waste disposal issue.

I would like to see Nuclear thrive but until it gets the cost / waste disposal resolved it's a tough sell.
IE may have been problematic from a tech point of view, but I'll eulogize that IE was important in advancing the web. The OS-integrated browser meant that in 1995, users had a full Internet stack readily available on their home PCs -- the widespread launch of Web 1.0. Later, IE was the pioneer of XMLHttpRequest, the beginning of Web 2.0. For these, we can say thanks, Microsoft! (for everything else, see other comments)

Covid vaccine for kids: FDA panel likely to recommend Pfizer, Moderna
A company I was at followed this approach. But of course putting it in writing then meant it had to be shared and approved or "reviewed"(reviewers of course thought they were approvers which was never the case). We called them TDDs (Technical Design Documents) and they were a nightmare.

The docs were often out of date, as the actual engineering would deviate strongly over time (and short periods of time too, like days).

They were incomplete as we wouldn't quite know what was involved until we actually began figuring it out by writing code and building POCs. We also wouldn't know how far we'd want to take some decisions until we had code to then figure out questions about share-ability, extensibility, ownership, etc.

The project would take significantly longer as everyone would first work on the TDD before ever working with code. Then you'd have to corral approvals which involved comments, questions, and a lot of back and forth. This would take days and could stretch out into weeks.

All in all it became a PITA and I wouldn't care to ever continue this practice.

I agree writing helps clarify intent and understanding, for software that writing comes through by writing code. Phrases like measure twice and cut once don't really make sense for software where getting new wood to cut has an effective marginal cost of 0.

Software is completely different from any physical good so these analogies just don't make sense. It's not like a building where once it's built it's impossible or difficult to change. We can forever update, improve, repurpose, and clean up any and all aspects.

Write a README or a TDD once the project is done to capture how it works, the problem being solved, or any gotchas, limitations, or ideas for future development. But this should go at the end. Lean in to software's strength of exceptional flexibility and adaptibility and stop treating it like a physical thing.

Economics is about dividing up scarce resources "dismal science". You can't have the real purchasing power of the average person go up without there being more stuff to divide up (more efficient production, more production, etc).

You can make things more or less equal, but inflation by itself doesn't cause this to happen.
