Tanks are not going anywhere. Especially depending on your definition of "tank". The initial Russian push to Kiev was a disastrous blunder as they ran into unexpected resistance; no one just rolls unsupported tanks into a city they are expecting to have to fight for. But taking (and holding) a city means taking (and holding) the streets, which is impossible for the infantry alone without direct fire and armor support. You will be decimated by sniper and indirect fire otherwise. If anything, this conflict underscores just how crucial armor is to modern warfare. With GPS guided artillery, and omnipresent drone threats, the days of infantrymen defending trench lines in the open are over.
I also like the extra layer of fraudulent transaction protection vs e.g. a debit card.
That's a nice date, well done ;)
That’s not the suburbs.
I'm assuming currently proven tech of batteries. And we need to act now for climate change, with current tech.

Electricity to H2 to electricity has horrendous efficiency (about 20% at most IIRC). We'd be much better off CO2-speaking using it to replace coal in steel production, and replace gas in fertilizer production. Both of which are proven tech (but not globally deployed, as coal and gas are cheap)
Sorry to be blunt, but there is a real reason the idiom existed for several hundred years. Perhaps you should read the book so we can have more civilized discussions?

Read the first "Alex Cross" book.

It's...not very good, but it's a pretty good example of Patterson's work. I read the first 3-4 books in the Alex Cross series, but gave up after finding no growth or improvement on the character or the author.

I think you'll find his popularity similar to what makes lots of other things popular. His books are rather bland, but not quite boring. He doesn't pack a lot of exposition between the action so the plot moves forward. Unfortunately this often makes the characters seem quite stupid as they rush to action rather than ponder the situation. I find this unrealistic and annoying, especially given Alex Cross's profession.

Obviously, I'm not a fan.

Just in case you haven’t heard: Microsoft recently announced that they won’t hold it against you if you drop support for IE11 in add-ins. Your customers might still complain, though.

Yep!

Once battery storage doesn't pan out(and it won't currently for trucks), I see synth hydrocarbons picking up the transport slack. But that will require alot of energy..
If you want to play Pokémon and not do the Pokémon battles then you’re on a weird edge case where it’s debatable whether you’re actually playing the game at all. If that’s what you want, sure, go ahead.

That’s actually still very different. Removing fighting from the game vs doing it but with infinite health. The former is at least self consistent I guess.
There was also no real incentive to clean up the Chernobyl exclusion zone. The town of Pripyat existed for the purpose of supporting the nuclear power plants. So when the plants closed, there's no reason to clean up the contamination. This is in contrast to Fukushima, in which the majority of the exclusion zone has been rehabilitated.
And of course, don't forget "The Painting Goblin", in which you make an inescapeable, fully equipped basement home and lock one of your sims in there. Then you force them to get _extremely_ good at painting, such that one of their paintings can sell for thousands and comfortably support the rest of your sims family, who never have to work a day in their lives.
The title says Britain, not Great Britain. I was making a pithy remark based on that.

But seeing as everyone's in the mood for educating me, here's the logic behind it:

Britain was an invention of a King that wanted rule of the whole. Great Britain is the island (which didn't exist when you could walk to it). The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Island is the political entity. The Romans called it Brittania. After the Romans left, it stopped being called Britain (as it was separate countries and principalities) until the act of Union in 1707 removed Scottish parliament and the King proclaimed that it came under a single rule for the first time.

Crude Oil, Treated Less Crudely
Absolutely! We are working on it right now and call this “regions”. We already have a proxy - you will notice that the connection string is project_name.cloud.neon.tech.

We are working on deploying the proxy globally and routing read traffic to the nearest region.

We also have some multi-master designs in collaboration with Dan Abadi. But this will take a second to build.
theyre all cryptoasset related jobs :/ bummer
By a small percentage, yes, going down from something like 75% to 55-60% IIRC, with the difference going to renewables.
The problem with a cost comparison is that currently renewables account for less than ten percent of global energy generation. What do you think will happen to the cost there as available resources dwindle, and demand for equipment increases?

Also, I’m not sure those comparisons take into account the ~20 year lifespan of solar panels and windmills, versus the ~40-50 year lifespan of nuclear plants.

Finally, another factor that may drastically reduce the cost of nuclear is the fabrication of small modular reactors which eliminate custom construction/permitting and simplify installation.
How does shared memory get handled across nodes? I’d imagine there’s quite a bit of in memory state for things like sequences. For that specific example you could preallocate chunks of them as there’s no guarantee of them being contiguous, but I’m guessing there’s more complicated examples.
It’s probably easier to deal with sea level rise since it’s slow motion. If there’s a Fukushima every year.. wow.
A margin call is an event where you have to either deposit additional funds or sell some of the assets. So getting margin called when you have additional funds doesn't have to be a big event.

I wouldn't think so, they both fulfill the same basic role and are composed of approximately the same materials, but getting dropped off at school in one will get you unearned social clout and the other might get you unearned social derision.
Thank you! Yeah I think pseudonymous work is really liberating in that sense. It could allow people to be more authentic, without worrying about their livelihoods being put at risk.

Never heard of this strategy, but devious and brilliant in a psychotic kind of way
Except those solar panels generate energy intermittently. Not just in the short term due to the day/night cycle, but also over the long term with weather and seasonal shifts.

Nuclear is unique in that it's the only geographically independent, and non-intermittent energy source. Hydroelectricity and geothermal are non-intermittent but are geographically dependent. And also fossil fuels, but those emit carbon dioxide.

Replacing a stack of function calls with a loop may be the same in terms of what happens, but it’s the like inlining code in general. Sometimes packaging it up makes it cleaner and more reusable and testable, relative to inlining it (or sticking it in a for loop).

Isn't this kind of misunderstanding what the overton window is? The window doesn't pay attention to the content of ideologies per se, just where a culture's sentiments gravitate towards. It doesn't in itself define political beliefs. At some point you need to actually care about principles!

Aren't employers in most jurisdictions required to verify work eligibility and report income?

Does "pseudonymously" just mean that they these employers commit to supporting your alternative identity when engaging with the public, the way publishers might handle a pen name?

Or is this something different?

I'm probably not the only person who will wonder about this, so it might help to put the answer as text on the site. (Maybe it's explained in the video, but a 30 minute video is a big ask)
Sure, I buy that. But presumably you’re just interested in building cities, not completing challenges or a story mode or whatever. I’ve never played that specific title.

I don't understand why people don't talk about the water usage involved in pumped hydro when the vast majority of the Western United States is dealing with record low water levels + sinking due to groundwater usage.
The largest problem I have with cryptocurrencies isn't the concept but the practical market reality of with whom they are competing: governments and central banks. Heads of State have been killed for trying to achieve what Bitcoin aims to achieve. If it -- or any other cryptocurrency -- ever truly threatened to replace the petro-dollar I suspect some very shady and aggressive things would happen, culminating with criminalization of exchanging that crypto for goods, services, or fiat currency.
That's overnight cost, not included in model.energy. You also have to add in the financing cost during construction.

If we are talking about Korean export NPPs, the Barakh NPP has four reactors for a total of 24.4B$, producing 5.6GW(e). THis is about $4B/GW. If I plug in 4000 per MW (its euros, not $, but they're not too different right now) for the capital cost of nuclear in model.energy, increase the NPP lifetime to 40 years, and use US 2011 weather data, nuclear optimizes to zero.

I'll add that model.energy is looking at the best case for nuclear: providing baseload. Handling variability will incentivize storage, which means renewables will be at an increased advantage. Dispatchable demand of any kind, even slightly dispatchable (allowed to be off 10% of the time, say) also tilts the game toward renewables.

The 25 year lifespan for nuclear there may reflect economic obsolescence rather than technical lifespan. Energy technology is evolving quickly now, so investors may simply refuse to credit the promise of such long lifespans. Even in the US, there have been existing NPPs that shut down because they could not recoup their operating costs (granted, much of that was due to gas and also renewable subsidies, but with solar having dropped in cost by nearly an order of magnitude in the last decade it's a bold move to assume it won't keep falling.)
Um... doesn't it produce synchrotron radiation while operating? I'm not sure that you want to be driving on that...
Nuclear is great as long as it’s not anywhere close to where I live
Bye bye IE and thank you!
I'm not trolling. I'm trying to give examples of different degrees of mutilation to understand where circumcision fits on the scale of "accepted body alteration" and "unacceptable body alteration." Is circumcising a newborn much different from having orthodontics placed in an 12 year old's mouth? That is, dental work that is done for purely aesthetic purposes. Or what about a frenectomy on a baby, or a toddler? While a frenectomy function to improve clarity of speech, I would argue clarity of speech is aesthetic in an aural sense. People with a lisp are understood, they can communicate, but their speech isn't considered as "pretty sounding" as those without a lisp. Is a frenectomy controversial in your opinion? If so, you're in the minority. If not, why is it ok to snip out part of a kid's mouth but not ok to snip off part of a kid's penis? A part that serves no benefit, mind you. Unless foreskin does provide a benefit that I'm unaware of.
> because everyone is terrified of nuclear, regulations may require an absurd level of safety expenses that no other energy producer is burdened with

"The researchers start out with a historic analysis of plant construction in the US. The basic numbers are grim. The typical plant built after 1970 had a cost overrun of 241 percent—and that's not considering the financing costs of the construction delays [..] while safety regulations added to the costs, they were far from the primary factor [...] In the end, the conclusion is that there are no easy answers to how to make nuclear plant construction more efficient. And, until there are, it will continue to be badly undercut by both renewables and fossil fuel."[0]

Not even remotely true. Global battery production is around 300 GWh per year. The US alone uses 12.5 TWh of electricity per day. The world uses ~60TWh. That's 8 years of global battery output to fulfill just one hour of electricity storage.
The women you are trying to date get older as well, so you getting older is less of a factor.

Not at all. Just saying that one on one meetings aren't the only way of doing things, and that it's not true that group meetings can't lead to marriage.
Paywalls seem to work but at the cost of restricting access to a large group of people. It is evident from sites like Eurogamer, Wikipedia and The Guardian that a more patreon-like "supporter" model can work just as well without annoying people.
And there are still days (like during Texas' winter power fiasco) where neither the sun, nor the wind are strong enough to generate sufficient power from renewables alone. How people still believe that you can get by without any baseload power generation capacity is beyond me.
For SC security, the fewer points of attack between me and the source the better.

For other kinds of quality, I have my own tests which are much more relevant to my use cases than whatever the distro maintainers are doing.

I've been a DD and while distros do work to integrate disparate upstreams as well as possible, they rarely reject packages for being fundamentally low quality or make significant quality judgements qua their role as maintainer (only when they're a maintainer because they're also a direct user). Other distributions do even less than Debian.
Please name a source of that.

spins it the other way. Personally I am amused by this old scandal

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faster-than-light_neutrino_ano...

because there is some precedent for superluminal neutrinos (I saw an experiment at Los Alamos National Labs that was trying to measure the neutrino mass by observing tritium decay and their best fit estimate for the mass was imaginary, although consistent with zero.) Also if "SERN" was like it is in

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steins;Gate_(TV_series)

superluminal neutrinos would be something they'd definitely cover up.

I think that this is shortsighted. It is a new area and there is a lot of work improving the effectiveness of these things. If somebody told me that ROP was totally impractical for a plethora of reasons when it was first proposed, I would have believed them. Now, we've got completely automated tools to generate ROP chains without hardly any access to a binary whatsoever.

These sorts of attacks will get more sophisticated.

Side channels through miss-speculation also have a fun property of being virtually undetectable since the problematic code never actually executes. This is attractive for very powerful actors who might want to spend the extra effort for the covert attack even if there are simpler exploits to actually launch.
>Stupidly wrong, it seems to be placing some entirely unwarranted implication that without nuclear we'd be lost, when most serious analysis agree that renewables will be about 80% of energy production, which doesn't really leave much room for nuclear to take all the credit.

>IEA's net zero roadmap...

I'd like to make a slightly vague rebuttal to your slightly vague rebuttal (ofc not your fault if the IEA doesn't explicitly say anything about nuclear, not blaming you). The IPCC has said that nuclear is necessary if we want to hit our climate goals.

> Oil and gas pipelines do not normally leak.

????

> Currently, the most complete bottom-up inventory of natural gas system emissions is the 2012 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Greenhouse Gas Inventory (GHGI). (2) It estimates an overall system-wide methane loss rate of 6.2 Tg/yr of methane, or 1.3% of methane transported (Supporting Information (SI), Section 16) and that the transmission and storage sector (T&S) is the largest emitting segment of the natural gas industry, (2) accounting for about one-third of methane emissions.

> For T&S stations that are required to report to the EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP), this study estimates total emissions to be 260% [215% to 330%] of the reportable emissions for these stations, primarily due to the inclusion of emission sources that are not reported under the GHGRP rules, updated emission factors, and super-emitter emissions.

Gas will literally bleed right through the seals at a certain rate, especially with the compressor motors, which is no different to the electrical losses from stepping voltage up/down.

And this is actually a huge problem with natural gas specifically because methane is an incredibly potent greenhouse gas... around 30x as potent as CO2 over 100 years. Losing a couple percent of your methane is a big deal. That is actually what is driving the push for electric-driven heat pumps for home use... it's better to lose a little bit of electricity than to have thousands of miles of poorly-maintained residential gas distribution that even in the best case are leaking highly potent methane through seals.

All this calculation is doing is subtracting expected returns above what they would get from investing their capital. If they also start a business and make more money, that will not be counted as inherited wealth - unless they start a business by spending their inherited wealth and get returns below the growth rate of the economy. At that point, it's up to your interpretation whether they "self made" negative wealth or spent money on a vanity business project. I don't think it is unfair to not categorize those people as self made.
Mathematically, yes. But in terms of value, no.
