You don’t have to hazard. This subject has been studied extensively and there are clear answers.

The high cost of nuclear is due to the inherent complexity of nuclear power plants, and the rise in particular is principally due to a nuclear industry that no longer knows how to construct plants affordably, with increased regulatory compliance a minor contributor.

Source: https://news.mit.edu/2020/reasons-nuclear-overruns-1118

The result of that high cost is that nuclear is a lot more expensive to build than renewables for the same amount of energy. This difference is growing and not shrinking, because the solar and wind industries keep getting better at cheaply rolling out capacity.

Source: https://ourworldindata.org/cheap-renewables-growth

Because most of a nuclear project’s cost is upfront, earned back over the lifetime of the plant, a profitable project has to be able to assume it can outcompete renewables + storage over multiple decades. This already is not the case today, and less so in the coming years. No private business can make these numbers work, so no private business is willing to fund a nuclear plant without subsidies. Renewables however can and are being funded privately to a large degree, because they turn a profit more quickly and can be built in smaller increments.

Subsidies come out of taxes, which means the money can’t be spent on something else. Government budgets are already stressed. Between the choice of a largely privately funded solar/wind/hydrogen/storage path and a mostly government-funded nuclear path governments around the world are choosing the cheaper option.

And yes, there is the public perception of nuclear which doesn’t help. But people are also opposed to solar and wind projects. NIMBY is always a thing. Besides, even if you could convince people of the safety of nuclear energy, the numbers still wouldn’t work out.

There are challenges to rolling out solar and wind at scale with grid redesign and hydrogen storage and distribution, but nuclear at scale has similarly sized problems. TANSTAAFL when it comes to energy production.
Wouldn't losses for most other asset classes be piling up as well? Direct exposure to assets or securities is inherently risky. I bought some shares of SHOP at ~$1,200 several months ago and now it's ~$320. a 73% loss is much worse than Block's loss of 22%.

I'm not sure how many companies add individual securities to their balance sheets, but the point is that people like to vilify this particular asset as if it is much riskier than traditional alternatives.
In CS right now, people with a very strong PhD can go straight to the tenure track.

I took a postdoc because my PhD is solid but I jumped around topics a lot, so it's not quite coherent enough. My postdoc is also at a more prestigious institute.

I'm rolling the dice that it might be enough to get that tenure track job. But I also have no dependents and don't care about material possessions very much. If my situation were a little bit different, it would be foolish to do what I'm doing.
Ah, okay, that's good. I suppose associating other fingers is not really that big of a problem in practice, then.
Back in the early 2010's, one of our more amusing interview questions for front-end developers was "What is your favorite thing about Internet Explorer?".

We never really used the answer against anyone if they couldn't think of anything, but the advent of XHR and other improvements offered was something a lot of developers had already forgotten about, and it was interesting to see various responses and reactions.
Same. I always clean my plate (though I try hard not to take more than I can eat), and am always very reluctant to get rid of anything that "still works".
Countries will rational regulation will enjoy the nuclear progress, the others will buy from them or throw a lot of money on expensive batteries that will also cause problems with extraction, recycling, fires etc. My bet is US will use fosil fuel for a few decades still since is cheap.
There's a reason Fussell puts college professors as a kind of appendix on the side of his "Upper-Middle", and not down in classes that tend to be closer to their income level (Middle, or even Prole).

Still, I'm not sure how much difference that upper-middle-adjacent socialization makes when it comes to poverty thinking.

I recently read the Serhii Plokhy book Atoms and Ashes, where he discusses 6 most notable nuclear accidents in depth.

And his conclusion was pretty grim. Paraphrasing: If we bet on nuclear for mitigation of climate change, it is inevitable that nuclear accidents will happen more often. Also each accident causes a major setback in peoples minds regarding nuclear safety and the next Fukushima might kill off a lot of progress and the opportunity cost lost would be huge.

I don't know how to argue with this. I personally think nuclear is really safe. If the worst accidents have killed a few hundred and caused premature deaths to at most hundreds of thousands. Compared to the millions of premature deaths PER YEAR for fossil related energy and the possible billions coming from climate change, nuclear is as safe as it gets (I mean probably more PV installers will fall off roofs than get killed by nuclear accidents), but peoples fears might not be surmountable.
Transmitting power over long distances has its own problems and infrastructure costs. It isn't trivial.
No, and I'm actually worried that I got a shit battery. It also charges at max 60kw. I just drove from Illinois to Denver and we got an average of ~350wh/mi (we had the A/C on but we tried to moderate it to save battery).
Everyone needs to make sure you are beyond gainfully employed so they can live some semblance of a normal life if you both decide to stick around the bay.
The question is why? I want to put on my tin foil hat and speculate about Korean knowledge of Edge 0-days (maybe North Korea is known to hoard those for some reason) but then again if you have edge 0-days it's probably trivial to get IE11 ones.
I have heard some suggest that the high school age has biological complications related to child birth. I have no expertise to delve into that topic.

Outside of those influences, in hindsight, the high school years would have been the perfect time to have children. They are virtually wasted years anyway, being old enough to be ready to start to spread your wings, but not considered old enough to do so. The time could be used productively to focus on the critical early years of rearing a child. Once you reach your prime, deemed ready to go out into the world and make something of yourself, your children will be starting to become independent. If you are well-off the financial supports are already in place, so that is moot.

However, in practice, it would be a challenge because of how society demonizes it. Humans are social creatures that rely on a stable society to survive. Being ostracized from that society is a complication one logically tries to avoid.
I'm sorry, sometimes (often) it's my reading comprehension. The answer I was looking for was in the first f-ing paragraph. (And I checked archive.org, it was there yesterday)

Do you still have to have a canonical sso account just to login to your own devices?

EDIT: The answer appears to still be yes. I don't know who canonical is making this for, but no company is going to want to deploy IoT devices that hand over the root of trust for authentication to a third party. And I have to believe that many individuals/hobbyists that would otherwise be excited to use this will choose another distro for the same reason.

Canonical seems to be out of touch with what people actually want, and is happy to build things it likes that will ultimately be irrelevant.
Not just more common, it's somewhat taboo the other way around.

One of my brothers in his mid 20s briefly dated some girl a bit older than him, maybe late 20s/early 30s.

When my parents found out, he got chastised for it (in a somewhat playful way albeit). They did not necessarily like this, the kicker is they have an 11 year age gap themselves, but it's my father who's older.

It might be as simple as those old OS versions supporting serial or parallel ports or whatever arcane connector the Waste Seperator requires.

The WaPo article addresses that and counts them as AutoPilot engaged crashes. It seems to disengage 1 second before many of the crashes. It is nearly impossible to draw any conclusions about anything from this article. Other than, people use AutoPilot and sometimes they crash using it.

The one interesting bit is where the damage happened on the cars and the hitting of stationary objects. Those seem like unforced autopilot errors.
It's not obvious to me, Google has everything to gain by going evil. Google has power to choose how privacy will be managed, they can choose to kill Facebook(not that I'm fan of FB, but still).

Apple makes a lot of money but Apple is an underdog with it's tiny market share. Apple can and does evil stuff but it's nothing compared to the potential of Google.
Original title, which should have been used: "Why Are Gas Prices so High? 18 Questions Answered!" or even better, trimmed: "Why Are Gas Prices so High?"
This was not a negation, but a helpful clarification of what assumptions are made in either case (and thus, what your threat model must consider).

Namely: if you are forced to comply, it doesn't matter in either case.

If your password can be "obtained through a post-it, [...] phishing, guessing" etc. (key logger), then you might be better off with biometric authentication.

If your fingerprint can easily be extracted (and the sensor be fooled by it easily), then you might be better off sticking with the password.

Those clarifications give you a good way to think about the tradeoffs.

> Pokémon with infinite hp sounds awful and will massively compound any sense of a grind because now all fighting is pointless. Some games may be grindy but cheating for instant gratification is likely worse.

Yeah, cheating in Pokemon is what finally killed my love for the games as a kid. A friend wanted to show me his cool Action Replay, turned on every cheat and left my game saved in a state where it would be a lot of work to get back to "normal". Somehow it revealed all the grindy bits that I had been okay with up until that point.

But it definitely does depend on the person. My friend was still having fun with his Pokemon games after. Another friend in high school seemed to get more fun out of typing the level skip code on Starcraft than beating the levels the intended way.
Not to steal the CEO's thunder, but this (tech|company) got quite a bit of commentary last time it was submitted: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31536827
Yeah, that could work in principle. However, if it's a language that’s using recursion for looping, then you'll loose that history every time you have a loop with more than n iterations (which could be quite often). Given that recursion can be indirect, you can't entirely eliminate that problem just by special casing direct recursion. It might still be better than nothing, though, I agree.
You can even use a registry key (per Application using the WebView control) to specify the function level/version to emulate.
The biggest problem nuclear has is that it's too cheap and the fuel lasts too long.

That means that the oil, gas, wind and solar industry has more money and interest in spreading FUD.

On top of that the fear that has been succesfully deployed, has pushed nuclear energy into a bureaucratic nightmare, driving up costs, and also incentivizing a large part of the nuclear industry (the part living off the regulation and bureaucracy) to continue the FUD.

The total number of causalities and environmental impact from non-weaponized nuclear power, including Chernobyl, Fukushima and three mile island are so small, that I guess a larger number of people have died or been injured from rare-earth metal mines for solar panels or floods due to dams for water turbines.
Geez, some people really go out of there way to make things hostile. My opinion does matter, just ask my mom!

There may be some situations where people want to rank potential partners desirability as though it was a scalar that everyone would agree on, but there is no requirement to participate in those situations.

For me, and I suspect most people, it seems much better to just do the things you enjoy, be friendly, and find people where there is some mutual interest in spending time together.
You seem to be forgetting that immigration to the U.S. is quite strong, so that supplements the birth rate and tax base (or at least provides cheap labor), where that isn't the case for Japan.

Poor is different than not-rich. I've seen many "poor" men get many relationships and dates. Money is only a minor factor. SV should be an indicator of that - we have an overreaching amount of men making $400k+/yr and yet they're also some of the most single people out there.

Besides - when it comes to online dating and getting first dates - not looking poor just means don't appear homeless.
The "EU" is just the client countries of the EU. Some countries neighbouring france are strongly against nuclear energy, and thus would have cause to exaggerate the costs.
You obviously have considerable wealth if you think most people have the savings to keep hundreds of dollars on them at all times and much more at home. A large percentage of Americans can’t afford a $500 emergency. Also, many people don’t carry cash because they’re worried, rightfully or not, about being robbed. Same idea behind leaving stuff in your vehicle.
Non-clickbait title: Teslas running Autopilot have been in 0.0000273 crashes/km in less than a year!

I've been alive long enough to see a considerable sample set of human drivers and I've got to say the bar Autopilot needs to exceed in order to save limb and life is incredibly low. Couple that with the fact that just here in SoCal Tesla has become a common sight, 273 crashes sounds like a hell of a lot of human suffering was avoided.
Building pipelines for oil and gas isn't trivial either but we managed to do it.
So where are the screaming comments from yesterday then? Where is the outrage?

Many thought all the crypto exchanges were dying or getting hit by the crash. So why not this one?

Or is it because not all crypto exchanges operate or hire the same as others and neither are all cryptocurrencies are the same. This is the repeated problem of using sweeping generalisations on anything you don't like. It really doesn't help.
My take is we were asking the wrong questions, and now we know that, so hopefully we can figure out the right questions.
All it takes is for a few newspapers to regularly publish alongside any article about any power source the figures of "X people died per year by nuclear, Y by solar, Z by coal", etc.

Any newspaper mogul could make that happen.

Any time there is any accident, people interviewed need to start with "There is a risk this incident might stop nuclear from being the safest energy source. But to be honest, I think we'll still keep the crown".

I've worked with a few chemists turned engineers, for some reason you lot always take to coding fantastically well. I suspect any pay cut you take would be quite temporary.
> >Those plants are nearly all close to death.

> No, these plants are close to the end of their original grant for exploitation. Many of them get renewed for 10, 20 years easily. The US has had plants renewed for 40 years and are still running just fine.

The moving goal post by nuclear proponents never cease to amaze. When we talk about safety the argument is always: "don't look at these old designs, all these modern designs are 100% safe". Then when we talk about cost it is: "don't look at the cost of building new plants, just extend the operation of these 40 year old plants by another 40 years". And the they complain about regulations for nuclear, while at the same time arguing that regulations about decommissioning a plant after its regulated lifetime ran out should not apply to nuclear plants.

Why should the rules about safe operation lifetimes not apply to nuclear plants?

> > France isnt quite sure what to do.

> We know what to do, every single scientist from the ASN knows what to do, every economist knows what to do. The non-renewal of nuclear plants is purely a political play to gain votes.

> Stop spreading your ignorant, fearmongering, unsubstantiated opinions.

They are not fear mongering or unsubstantiated. Plants were build/commissioned with an expected lifetime. There are reasons for this, aging of components and materials especially under exposure to radiation, aging of computer systems...

A lot of people think that companies aren't paying their employees well because they're greedily hording cash and if they'd just give that cash to their employees, wealth problems would be solved. I would suggest to these people to spend some time looking at the largest companies in the world, taking their profits for the year, and dividing by the number of employees they have. I have done this exercise a few times. It will open your eyes about a lot of things w.r.t. business.

We here on HN are the ones who need to do this most of all because we work in the industries and companies that have for the last 10 years actually made enough money that the division results in something significant. This is not the norm. You can easily end up with values in the hundreds of dollars of profit/employee for a more normal industry. Even if the profits were 100% shared, we aren't necessarily talking about pulling people out of poverty or something.

The parasite class in society is smaller than you think, percentage-wise. Quite a lot of us go to supporting just one of them. I think getting rid of them would be a great boon... but not because simply redistributing their wealth would solve very much. The real problem they create is that they steal $X dollars and end up creating second-order effects that mean $X·Y dollars of wealth are never created in the first place, where Y is pretty significant.

Hiyaa all Esher here! Happy to see my side project getting some attention :)

So I'm just a final year CS student that wanted a hands-on experience with some blockchain stuff, and thought I'd build an NFT project more on-brand with what decentralization promises, unlike most NFT projects where art and smart contract are held on two different silos, as two distinct entities (on-chain + traditional database/IPFS).

I think what is cool about the project is that the entire NFT is 100% on-chain, and in that vein, the website is 100% static. Website is built with React + ThreeJS so everything is rendered statically and in-browser.

Most of you reading this are cynical about crypto and "web3"; I am in the same boat. I just think it's really cool that I can build something entirely static without having to touch payment integration yet have something that people can "buy". To me, that's what web3 unlocks. A backend that deals with transactions and race conditions and payments and security.

Yeah, and don't mind the price points. You guys weren't my target market haha. Not that that matters anymore with my perfect timing.
I think you might be over-extrapolating to my case, or perhaps I simply misunderstand you. The stakeholders here were the closest thing to end users, folks making purchasing decisions on behalf of the company. This was not an AI/ML product to be sold to users or deployed publicly. The end users (such as they were) were the ones who were confused by interpretable ML and wanted less complex answers.
Almost more interesting than this announcement by itself is that Canonical is now providing a PREEMPT_RT patched kernel for Ubuntu in general. That's super cool.
Nice. Is this ERC1155? Are cubes non-fungible or fungible? Why be non fungible, the attributes? And also wondering what's your email? I'm building some NFT devops tools.
