Most (all?) power reactor designs produce plutonium as a by-product, as with many small-scale reactors. For example, Canada built a small research reactor [1] in India in 1954, similar to many Canadian heavy water reactor designs. It was supplied with natural uranium. It was repurposed to manufacture several kilograms of plutonium per year. As I understand it, any country with power reactors and a decent industrial-engineering base - such as Finland, Canada, Japan, Argentina, etc. -- could, in principle, build a fission weapon on rather short notice. Separation of plutonium from reactor waste is a horribly nasty business, but not challenging in the same way as uranium enrichment.

It's very hard to compare ~110 F in a very dry region compared to ~110 F in a wet region. 110 F at 70% humidity is a heat index of 160 F, close to unsurvivable. The highest recorded heat index was 178 F in Saudi Arabia, with an actual temperature of 108 F.

Another thing to consider is heat waves are much worse in regions without reliable or universal air conditioning. This could explain the much higher death tolls in South America compared to North America.
I take it to mean only the development environment was Windows 98, otherwise they could just have said using Win98. It wouldn't make any sense to put Win98 in MARSIS itself. Sending things into space isn't about how fast a solution can be made, it's about the robustness of what goes out.

More like chimpanzees by nature preceded humanity. We are mostly likely some derivative of them through some sort of eugenic (natural or not its unknown) process that helped us gain consciousness of the highest degree.

It's likely that certain pharmacological byproduct consumed shaped and formed our awareness, the same way alcohol and tobacco have produced our modern male dominated society.

Think about this. A chimpanzee encounters a strange mushroom, consumes it, suddenly begins to attain visual acuity which allows him more information gathering about the surroundings. Not to mention conceptualization, abstraction all of which are basic building blocks of human consciousness.

We might be a decendant of group of primates that successfully mastered fire manipulation. Cooked meat has far more nutrients and proteins that further help develop ouir brain.

Just running on bits and pieces I read here and there and its fun to entertain the thought of how we emerged as a dominant species. I'm under the school of thought that there was some informational/knowledge transfer that radically set us apart from the rest. Emergence of consciousness and our continued expansion of our awareness seems very much real.
> But was she not elected by EU members of parliment, who were elected by EU citizens?

The EU parliament can only "elect" a president nominated by the European Council, just like it can only approve laws proposed by the European Commission. It doesn't have the right of initiative, only veto power.

Functional is easier to reason about, if you are the kind of person who prefers reasoning in that way. For some people, it fits the way they think better. For others, it doesn't.

But imperative is still the default first approach that everybody is taught. For those whose minds fit better with functional, when they encounter functional programming, it's like being let out of prison. It's amazing. The problem comes when they assume that it will be the same for everyone, and if someone else doesn't have the same experience, it's because they haven't "gotten" functional yet. No, some peoples' minds find imperative to be a more natural way to think.

So: Learn some functional. Learn it well enough to see if it fits how you think. If it does, great! And if it doesn't, also great! Then, primarily go with the tool that fits you.

Contrary to what most written accounts say about Calhoun’s most famous experiment, he did not provide his mice with unlimited resources. The provided plenty of everything except for physical space.

i would have preferred:

templ<thing>(a, b)

because with that:

templ!thing(a, b)

is it a function?, or are you calling thing's function?

you can do:

templ!(thing)(a, b)

but did you mean?:

templ!(thing(a, b))()

i personally always use !(), no matter what, and it's annoying to type, i don't want to waste time constantly trying to figure out what is what, it's mentally draining
> They don't scale by their nature

I think there's a few different things to think about here. Does EVERYTHING need to be on-chain? No, clearly not. but for the stuff that does it's been found that you can scale by having multiple chains. I mostly use AVAX, it's like ETH but uses a DAG for consensus, which means finality is WAY faster (seconds). It also has a concept called subnets, so scale is accomplished by having multiple blockchains which can interoperate with each other. Not all validators validate all subnets, but all subnets have multiple validators. Your need for level of security is going to depend on your application. Defi has a high need for security, gaming has a low need. The idea of 1 chain for everything is kind of obsolete.

You're right. Precision really isn't the right word. I meant something more like most useful. In the field that produced this paper, eV is going to be the most convenient way to specify it, because it relates to the movement of electrons and not just e.g. exploratory particle physics.
The "omega-6-heavy oils" makes me think of the work of Dr. Nemechek (https://www.nemechekconsultativemedicine.com/nemechek-protoc...), who works primarily with Autism. He found that a variety of brain injuries that of various types (including things like concussion), which historically have resolved themselves, have, in recent years, stopped healing. So a concussion that would have naturally healed a few decades ago, keeps giving the patient problems. One of his primary recommendations is to decrease the "omega-6 to omega-3" oils, because it seemed that omega-6 cause brain injuries not to heal. And it's worth noting that almost all vegetable oils (canola, soybean, etc), which are in almost all "processed foods" are high in omega-6.

This indole-3 link could be the reason why omega-6 oils are so bad.

TL;DR: Don't eat processed vegetable oils (other than coconut and olive oil).
Interesting read! Funnily, this reminds me of World of Warcraft 40 vs 40 horde vs alliance battles in Alterac Valley (in vanilla). Can a game battle be taken as a realistic simulation of real battle? Anyway, it matches this description of grouping.

Depending on the current meta, both sides would generally urge each other to 'charge' immediately to the enemy base and win. This was called rushing the base. However, sometimes the opposing side would mount a defense. In that case, a battle line would naturally form. Both sides would face off at 40 yards, which was roughly the maximum spellcasting range. They would pick at each other with long range spells, cautiously, no one wanting to do a suicide charge.

Then smaller teams on each side (cohorts?) would urge each other to charge in simultaneously. A grouped warrior or mage +healer, if they charged in together, could decimate (yes) the enemy. When that happened, the enemy would attempt to back up. Sometimes they couldn't back up fast enough; they had overcommitted. Then they got 'wiped'. Other times, they retreated and the battle line was re-established closer to their base.

> How do you conceive of these societal structures? What would a wealthy society, where people have more choice over their outcomes, have to do to put these “societal structures” in place?

I think Japan is a wealthy society that has become pretty much completely atheist and this is what its future demographics are projected to be (this is the first link I found on Google, but there are many others that are similar):

https://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/japan-population

Japan is unique in that it doesn't really allow for much immigration, so it is just going to shrink without much internal competition between different competing cultures.

> It seems a lot of those previous societal structures came into being because of the limitations of previous lives. Couples got married at 20 and had kids because there weren’t really other options on how to live a life.

Very true.

> Should we make it illegal for women to work? Tax single people over the age of 30? You blame liberalism but it seems the entire goal of liberalism is decentralized decision making and personal freedom. Are those things bad? It sounds to me like you're suggesting modern society is centrally controlled.

I am not saying I know the solutions, but I think we are not explicitly trying to find good ones in a way that will work. In many ways the current abortion debate is about reversing population trends, but this is sort of a crude hammer based approach derived from religious teachings, rather than being modern about it. I worry that this is generally how things will be solved in our society, not proactively by liberals but reactively by conservatives who advocate a religious solution. And this will happen increasingly as liberals become further out numbered because they do not have the fertility rates that religious conservatives have.

This approach works only for stuff that won't give you 2 week notice because they have got 10% raise elsewhere.

In a real world it would be akin to buying a new car when current one suddenly stops working instead paying for routine service. Maintaining a car is also "a cost", and you can drive it for as little as you "can get away with".

As a Christian I've been attempting to focus on the concept of letting go of the worldly and focusing on "Kingdom". The unique challenge that I'm finding is that I'm not particularly tied to my possessions, positions, or wealth but it's important for me to provide those things to my wife and kids.

I can deny myself those things but I find it nearly impossible to deny my family those things. We live way above average and I would prefer at minimum to bring it down to average but it's so hard to say no when I have the ability to say yes.

I think it's very hard for anyone to give you advice because there are too many variables, and we also don't know much about your thing. You say you have unique value prop but then you mention "if they launch better versions of the same products". So which one is it, objectively?

How much money you have it's also important (perhaps the most important). Can you and your friend compete against a company with $300K budget for sales & marketing in the next 12 months? I've been in this spot once when I launched a product at the same time with another startup. I invested $10K of my own money, they got $350K funding. 2 years later both products are gone. I lost $10K of my own money, they lost $350K of investor's money. What you take from this is up to you.
> Unless Alabama is imposing something untenable on California, what does California care?

Because California’s economy is forcibly diverted to subsidize Alabama's political decisions (given the way federal funding formulas work, largely specifically because those decisions are consistent failures in aggregate economic terms.)

It's so important for you to take good care of yourself as a parent. Put on your own oxygen mask before assisting your child! First of all, you are more grounded and able to better perform an incredibly intricate job that requires a ton of emotional and physical energy (being a parent). Second, you are a better role model to your child. You are modeling that self-care is important and that self-care serves others well. I think that's much different than being selfish. Being selfish is not caring about the needs of others to the point of neglect. Do you feel that your self-care is negatively impacting your child? Would be nice to hear more about how you feel what you perceive as selfishness to be a problem for your child. Not only is self-care important, but there is a lot of research that shows helicoptering kids (giving them too much attention) is actually really bad for them. The Dean of Stanford, Julie Lythcott-Haims did a whole talk on this.

They are allowed to, but unable to. Unable to do nearly anything.
It’s pointless arguing it because we have whole generations who are completely screwed and unless they invest (gamble) they will never ever own a house.

They have two choices, sit back, own nothing and watch their savings evaporate with inflation. Or just try every thing they can and pray one of them works.

If we don’t want to have people getting sucked into crypto, then maybe start by making our actual currency more trustworthy, rather than work your ass off, pay the money of half the hours worked away in tax, then sit and watch the measly pile you hoarded get evaporated away with inflation as houses skyrocket.

> The measure of good programming _ought to be, but isn't and never will be in the eyes of the people who are actually going to make it into a position of authority_ is not whether you solve that problem (that is a given) but by how much future headache your solution causes

As Dilbert points out "our boss can't judge the quality of our work, but he knows when it's late". The only measure of good programming that will translate into actual tenure in an organization is: how fast did you get it done? It's been this way for 50 years. It won't end tomorrow just because you're right about the way things ought to be.
Tiktok is a far worse threat to India than Meta though.

Unlike China, US is not an adversary of India and US didn't kill Indian soldiers just two years back. So it makes sense they would go after Tiktok.

The harm is just not espionage, it is also manipulation of sentiment by propoganda.

Also, I am not really sure with all the equivalence to Meta in this thread. Sure, Meta has things to be criticized about but if one thinks West has threat from Meta on the same level as Tiktok, that seems delusional.
A hierarchy among other things provides clarity on who is the leader of what, what their powers are and what they will be held accountable for. Most bad management is people finding ways to bypass those checks and balances. Scapegoating others, playing dirty politics to exert more power than they can on paper, etc. Removing even a semblance of structure and accountability just makes those things even worse.

Documenting the power structure and the social rules people must follow actually makes life easier for workers and not harder. You can even push back or negotiate those rules which is much harder if they are simply implied.

Interesting. If we correct for this factor (increase of proportion of out of wedlock births), how does the dynamic of fertility of married vs unmarried women look like over years? Is it still decreasing, or is the whole decrease of overall fertility is explained by increase of proportion of unmarried women? If so, decline in fertility is not a bad thing at all.

TL/DR but I'm sure its all very interesting

However, I didn't state a statistical fact, or assert the effect of guns on the amount of criminality.

"Widespread gun ownership significantly lowers the EV of committing crime."

EV is expected value, not expectation. That is, I didn't say that crime is less likely. I said that a person who comes into a house in the US has a not insignificant chance of leaving on a stretcher, which I consider negative value from the invader's PoV.

The reason this comment is at the bottom is because you managed to come up with a regulatory proposal that is absolutely ridiculous to both sides of this:

1. The weird people in California who think ferrets are dangerous and/or could cause an ecological problem, and hence, think they should be banned outright.

2. Anyone who's actually ever interacted with a ferret, and thinks the idea you should be banned from owning one while you have young children, because that's a ridiculous regulatory overreach.

As a note, I own literally hundreds of different items that could be lethal to my infant. My infant is in the same house as all these things! I have knives, hammers, saws, a lawnmower, all sorts of toxic cleaning supplies, numerous electric devices which connect to 120V power. Of course, as a responsible parent, I know to keep them and my infant separate. The idea that a parent can't also be responsible to not allow pets access to an infant is... absolutely ludicrous, especially when applied to a relatively safe pet like a ferret.

For those who have never actually seen a live ferret: They most commonly live in cages, and are supervised when out. The videos of folks you see online where they have free roam tend to be the sort of people who have explicitly decked out one or more rooms of their house to be safe for ferrets to run around without getting hurt (which is far more likely than them hurting anyone).

90 years ago, some farmers got worried about ferrets, got a law passed in California with no justification in science, and now despite 48 other states demonstrating there's no actual risk here, supposedly enlightened progressives are scared of them. No wonder disinformation has thrived in today's tech platforms.
