I will hazard that the problems with nuclear are not technological but political, and the economic problems with nuclear are there because of political reasons.

France gets ~75% of its power from nuclear, safely and economically. France inhabits the same physical world as the rest of us, but is different politically.

If there were a will, there would be a way. If the environmental movement had paid more attention to James Hansen's testimony in 1989 than it did to Chernobyl in 1986 then we would be living in a different world.

There is no amount of damage from nuclear accidents that will be worse than what we are suffering from climate change, with no end in sight. Proliferation is another story, but how's that going anyway...?
By virtue of our common humanity, we owe other humans according to our ability, and they owe us according to our need. Any other arrangement results in massive suffering (which many societies have rationalized as "natural", but it's absolutely not).

Why Rural Internet Is Still Terrible, Despite Billions in Federal Spending
It may be an American import in your country, but dating has been popular in many countries and almost entire western world throughout last century.

For example, I come from Poland and one on one dating has been hugely popular throughout Poland even while it was part of Soviet bloc, even though American culture was all but banned here.

And in many countries you get only local culture and "American import" in the form of movies and music.
Having known many people who went through medical school and residency, I'm confident almost none of them would have accelerated their family plans with more money. Medical residents who work 80 hour weeks simply have less than 0 time to start a family.

(And in fact, of the very few who did, it is always when the husband was a resident and the wife stay-at-home or a different career. In these cases, the finances were not a huge constraint; if nothing else, it is extremely easy to take on cheap debt as a resident.)

I can't speak as confidently to lawyers and interning, but I'd be surprised if the dynamic was different.
I’ve still been using IE11 up to now by default (for the websites it still renders adequately, with Firefox as a fallback — there’s a “Open current page in Firefox” add-in), for the following reasons:

- crisper and higher-contrast font rendering on low-DPI monitors

- Ctrl+N/Ctrl+K clone the current tab into a new window/tab including its history, letting you “fork” the tab and effectively navigate a history tree. Edit: And, maybe more importantly, opening a link in new window/tab also clones the history.

- generally good keyboard usage, e.g. for the history tab (you can for example always blindly hit Ctrl+H, Home, Enter to go to the last visited page, something which is more fiddly in other browsers)

- larger viewport height than possible on Chrome/Firefox/Edge (after hiding the toolbar and status bar, configuring tabs to be on the address bar, etc.)

- allows yellow search highlighting (which Firefox doesn’t on light backgrounds)

I think the next century revelation will be that you should focus on individual growth rather than population growth. In our tech-oriented economy, it matters more that you have quality technology rather than quantitative production.

I mean extremely normal things, like grocery shopping, getting coffee in the morning before work, things that would be considered at best poor date ideas by most of the women I know. Sure, it fits the definition of dating, technically.
If you don't feed the wannabes then how do you dethrone the actual monopolies? :)
What I am mostly seeing is people in the middle and upper income/wealth deciles complaining about their quality of life going down because the people in the bottom income/wealth deciles are getting higher wages and better work schedules.

Many people might have been able to afford fast food at 11PM, but maybe they cannot now. I see that as an improvement for the person that no longer has to work a fast food job at 11PM for the lowest wages.
Did you mean fusion? Fission is certainly not irrelevant today!
Energy pricing doesn't have to be constant - there's tariffs available which have cheap overnight electricity (eg Octopus Energy) - if you sign up now it's something like 7.5p/kWh, but some older contracts have it at 5p/kWh. You pay more during the day, but if you're charging a car a lot then it works out cheaper overall.
I've noticed that while initially derided as not being "real games", AAA games have started to co-opt the design into even the most action-heavy games. Uncharted, God of War, and Returnal have long sections of just walking and character building.
But what better link to productivity is there than 1) Individual performance compensated (ie work harder get paid more) and 2) Equity share in the business (ie a share of the profits).
> HN cracks me up. We are largely a demographic of people that make money from selling our IP and yet for some reason many of us are pretty brazen about our efforts to circumvent payment for others' IP.

Eh, that's not really correct. Most of us actually make money from creating IP for others to own, so it's not nearly as hypocritical as you imply.

IMHO, the brazenness is cultural momentum from the expectations formed during the heady 90s "information wants to be free" period and the resulting long period where paywalls were rare. Honestly, it probably would have been better for everyone if everything had been pay-walled from the beginning.
That's not slavery.

How is energy storage at scale unsolved when we can synthesize Methane quite easily? Grid scale storage is just a matter of cost. It's unclear which technology will be the most cost effective, but if we wanted to we could just store energy as Methane and pay the 50% efficiency cost.
> Historically, many people have relied on parents, churches, etc., to introduce them. Today it’s more of a free market.

Yeah, and the free market of dating definitely favors some personality types more than others. In general, people who can tell good jokes, listen to a story, ask questions, dance a bit, etc have it easier than those who can't.

Whereas in societies with more traditional pairing mechanisms you could lack in some of those prince/princess charming categories as long as you were decent and employed.

Having a foot in both cultures, I've seen how people suited personality-wise for the latter type can struggle in the former.
The money the governments are using to pay that contract is generally paid by taxes. So if we go back to the originally OPs point. Those taxes are enforced via force. While not as a direct as forcing a worker to build the house directly. One is still essentially working to build these house in this case. For instance on average 5% income was taxes for this purpose you could treat it as 5% decrease in pay or more cyclically 5% of ones labor is unpaid.

However, you can argue this for just about anything the government does with tax money. It's not wrong per se on an item by item basis of government function. Although, ideally government functions benefit everyone in some regard so in practice its not as bleak sounding. Very few people would be hard pressed to receive zero in return from all functions and programs of a government that is not abusive. Although, unless you get one these houses your not getting anything in return here for this hypothetical 5%, again though that is on an item by item basis. There could be tertiary benefits that one gets, but are hard to quantify with a dollar amount if such a program is working well. Such as a more stable community, ect...
They could do the not-for-profit part. I seriously doubt the "transparent" part.

The state of California has built more battery capacity in the last six months than the entire nation has built of fission power plants in the last 25 years. It is extremely easy to build batteries for fixed service, and bulk semiconductor manufacturing is the #1 thing that humans are good at. These problems are absolutely solved, the whole industry thinks so, that's why the whole industry is behind pv+wind+storage, as demonstrated at that link I posted.
Many countries that access my company site still use some version of IE (France and Japan come to mind). But they are still on Win7 too.

I think it’s fair to bundle that into “it’s MLB’s fault”

MLB has consolidated a lot of the teams’ media properties under its umbrella

A long time ago they restricted radio stations from distributing baseball games online for example

But they double-dip on TV:

- Allow blackouts to increase revenue from local TV
- Sell MLB.TV
To each their own of course, but this seems like a, slightly humorous, example of Goodhart's Law.

Most people I know dating aren't trying to optimize for the number of dates they go one with different people but ideally trying to find that one person they can be with for awhile. So the common definition of "getting better at dates" implies you eventually date less.

I have a few friends in their mid-30s that have become quite the experts at getting dates, but all of them seem fairly unhappy that they are still working on dating rather than in a steady relationship and focusing on other things.
It's not "from Apple". They just appear to be the first to actually implement the proposal from IETF.
I like Java but being able to tell at compile time that don't allow null on something no matter what, gives you a lot of advantage (and some disadvantage if you design wrong). Exceptions are not necessary in this case as null safety can not be isolated (unless you choose it). It is either everywhere or nowhere or you force an arbitrary line by telling something not-nullable when it can be (not a good idea).

A good example is the state Dart is in right now. Almost everything has been transformed to null-safety including most of the community packages and it works really nicely.

Yet this is called Hacker News, and hackers usually like to, well, hack and work around stuff just because they can.

It's one of the nice things of knowing how technology works, and as long as it's doable only by technical people it's probably not a big issue for IP / content creators (I'm considering adding an extension from source a technical task).

As long as you don't commoditize piracy too much, it's fine.
Hoping this release will bring the below advantages.

1. A statically compiled language with GC-d runtime, which compiles quicker than golang

2. Something that brings algebraic effects to the mainstream and with it an arguably better model for concurrency / parallelism

3. Support value types to take advantage of modern CPU caches

Finally golang finds some real competition (from a very unlikely source though). Hoping ReasonML will become more popular with this release with true parallelism and nice concurrency.
China is going to do it, and you seem to believe the safety profile of nuclear energy technology has been frozen for 50 years. It's extremely strange to think something as broad as the process of nuclear fission can be spoken about as having a universal, never changing risk-profile, regardless of technological advancement. We don't do this for any other technology.

You can’t necessarily, unless you write it at a higher level of abstraction* and trust the engineers are correct when they say it’s feasible to implement in a reasonable amount of time. Now your team is aligned and coordinated, even if the team consists of one person.

Strangely, I've observed the same behaviour with people on the exact opposite side of the spectrum too (i.e. UHNW).

A friend of mine worked on superyachts which were £400k a week to rent. He said that without fail the owners would be penny pinching at the end over a few £ here and there (on food, drink, suncream etc.) Same with upper-class Brits who had hundreds of years of intergenerational wealth but won't turn their heating on until November.

Not sure what to make of this; I've often wondered if it is a form of bell curve.
There’s a huge mismatch between people who are science fans and people who are doing physics anywhere near particle physics. It’s quite hard to explain how the field is spinning it’s wheels squared against what people consider scientific progress.

You are fully ignoring the fact that it's not just warming, but also an increase in climate chaos. They are just as likely to get mega freezes randomly, along with regular tornadoes or droughts as they are to get longer growing seasons. Calling it "warming" is a misnomer.

It was always too expensive. It wasnt hippy peaceniks that killed it. It was money.

The odd catastrophe didnt help though.

Why there is a resurgence of interest now when dirt cheap solar and wind have effectively rendered it a costly relic of the past is somewhat puzzling.

I guess PR campaigns like the OP's link are one reason.

It certainly would. One can get a lot further and move more things on an ebike compared to on a bicycle.

Not to forget the advantages of ten times less road maintenance, ten times more throughput, ten times less parking requirements, more social contact, ten times less energy consumption than an electric car, and on and on.

The main thing I've noticed here in slightly hilly Leuven, Belgium, is that so many more people I would never have seen on a human powered bike will actually use ebikes.

If you're a believer in government steering citizens to make the right decision, stimulating ebike use certainly makes sense. If in doubt, you might want to think about the war going on with one of our main energy suppliers.

I'm happily married with a great sex life, and neither of us had any sexual relationships before our marriage. I know that sounds quaint and antiquated on this forum, but some traditions really do exist for a reason. :-)

The express was an awesome little system and the fact that it played the same games as the console was a great idea. The TV tuner really enhanced it and featured two 3.5mm jacks: external antenna and AV input. You could hook a VCR, cable box or other console to your turbo express and use it as a tiny video monitor. I distinctly remember hooking my NES to it and playing SMB 3 for a few hours while my parents watched a movie on TV.
You both just said the same thing.
Firefox was also clearly a better user experience at the time, which made it much easier to convince people to switch.

I switched back to Firefox a while ago for ideological reasons, but the majority of people are not going to switch to something that is more or less the same, just without their bookmarks, passwords and history.
From my experience creating creative code workshops for children, design students and communication students, there’s not really a "good language for beginners", there’s nice and fun starting projects and from that, the language choice can follow.
JavaScript as others mentioned is not a great language for beginners… but let say the beginners are into creating art with the computer? Then playing with p5js using the online editor is a great way to have fun while coding. It’s also easy to set up and to share.
Even more accessible for someone visually-oriented would be livecodelab https://livecodelab.net/, a nice introduction to thinking in terms of a main loop and in 3D.
But if the beginner want to program motors, for example, then the choices would be a whole other range of language, maybe the makecode playground from Adafruit is a good start. Maybe even the Arduino IDE (!! Ouch… )
For a pure beginner, I would dare to say that the choice of first language might be inconsequential. Everything is new, and everything is fuzzy. Give them the bare minimum to achieve the first goal they have. Don’t hesitate to switch the language and tooling for the next project they want to do.

>Except in some specific cases (Finland, other Arctic regions with long periods of low sunlight) I'm pretty sure this cost comparison comes down firmly on the side of wind/solar/storage. Storage is the main cost barrier for 100% renewable-powered grids, but this is also an area where technological development is possible.

Why the progress is possible only for Solar and storage and in your opinion not possible for nuclear?
Nuclear could be cheaper if people would not be paranoid about it. What I think could happen is this new smaller reactors could be deployed in countries more rational, irrational countries will have to buy energy from the others.
Do you remember how we got into the IE6 situation?

IE was actually very innovative, did stuff like AJAX before everyone else and the developers adopted the ways of IE. Websites did not work well on other browsers, every website had a disclaimer at the bottom: Works best in IE.

Now I see similar situation with Chrome and gives me goosebumps. Some people say that Safari is the new IE but I think they got it wrong, I think the new IE is Google Chrome.

IE become bad when Microsoft dropped the ball and made it into a browser with a reputation to crash all the time and bring down Windows with it.

IE6 was hated by the developers because it had the largest userbase but had non-standart features, which meant that CSS and HTML and JS had to be written in a way to accommodate IE and Mozilla.

Today Chrome is very good but if Google takes something from the Microsoft playbook, we will be screwed. Some already say that Chrome is not what it used to be and Google no longer abides by the "do no evil" motto. They are even notorious to favour their own services, i.e. if you sign in into a Google website, Chrome treats that website differently than the rest, assumes that session as the browser account.
It should be noted that the anomalous electron g-2 is computable analytically (at least to very good approximation) which makes the theoretical value much less controversial. The anomalous muon g-2 however depends more heavily on interactions of quantum chromodynamics, which can only be computed using numerical lattice QCD simulations. This is notoriously hard and has only become practical in recent years, hence why theorists don't yet fully agree on the value.

Also, computing even just one part of this value is basically on the level of a theoretical particle physics dissertation. Don't expect to be able to do this without several years of research experience in this specific field.
I know of Oklo, Helion, and UPower; there may be others. These three were relatively early (2014-2015 or so.)
Can you refer to a specific regulation or legal precedent proving this point in clear words?

This does sound non-sensical to me. If someone is not working, there should not be any entitlement to access.

To give you an example: let’s say a factory is temporarily closed due to lack of supply materials or modernization and workers are put on paid leave. Are those workers allowed to visit their workplace to access their tools? If not, why digital workers should have this privilege when they are on paid leave?
