Yes. This is a complicated economical and geopolitical issue. There are several points why nuclear fission energy cannot dominate the market. The most significant offender here is the fact that nuclear fission can be arbitrarily expensive if you want to make it as safe as possible which makes it a partially political one as well; there's no single consensus on what is its levelised cost since the large fraction of it comes from upfront and decommissioning cost and we don't really have enough data points there. The equation gets more interesting since renewable energies have been becoming cheaper over the decade while the mainstream of nuclear fission energy technologies still generate nuclear waste which either can be repurposed into weapons or become your headache for an order of thousand years (in fact it's both).

This is why many of the next generation reactors are focusing on reducing/eliminating those costs. We all know that nuclear energies are extremely competitive regarding fuel costs, operational costs and carbon emission. The issue is the large question marks I mentioned above so everyone in the industry is working on that. Remember, energy production is largely an infrastructural (thus political) issue, so public support is an essential part of decision making. Hopefully, there hasn't been much investment in nuclear fission technologies for a while, so we might have plenty of headroom to eliminate these uncertainties.
Another native speaker chiming in. This is my first time encountering f.x. and it took me quite a while to figure out (essentially guess) what it meant. Most people I know and situations I've encountered use e.g. (possibly without even knowing what it means). In common usage e.g. is "for example" just like etc. means "and additional things" or i.e. means "that is".
huh, okay I always wondered what the button did. I always assumed it was to 'activate' codes that were input, maybe for a different game that I hadnt played yet and thus hadn't needed to use it yet.

Historically, abortion has been more often legal than illegal.

It was made illegal in the period from 1847 to 1880, and stayed that way until 1973 (roe v wade). Of the 246 years since the declaration of independence, abortion has been fully legal for 120 years, illegal in a patchwork of states for 33 years, and illegal fully for 93 years.

Very timely; I found out yesterday that the UPX program (EXE specific compressor from many years ago) was made by the same guys who made LZO. I had this realization that there is a progeny from people who write compression stuff. In a similar vein, The Rob Pike post from yesterday mentioned Ken Thompson had made a custom audio compression for the Plan 9 release. He also made the UTF-8 compressor too. I love seeing how these people keep refining the state of the art.

With regards to Worldschooling:
Did you have any questions in particular? Most parents choose a core curriculum and then set off on their adventures. Some also bring a tutor or take online classes to supplement - and definitely they do lots of field trips while traveling! That's the best education. And it's great if you can stay with a family while you travel and then do the same honor for them when they visit your country.

Here's a free curriculum planner I developed after a lot of research and conversations with parents.

With regards to your pitch:
I pretty much love your kid. Did you follow up about if she wanted to - or did she just keep dodging the question? Maybe she didn't know that something so wonderful could be true! Most of the kids in our community just say they go to "Modulo" Some have named their own schools! We currently have a "Mommy School" and a "Super School." Yours could be called "Silly Dadda School"

I'm a big believer in child's rights, but I generally wouldn't ask a 3, 4 year old or even 5 year where they wanted to go to school. Honestly, what do they know about school options? They really don't understand the options. I'd just tell them where they were going or start doing it. Is she going to be checking October 8 if you've filed your homeschool paperwork or enrolled in the public school lottery. I doubt it.

You could also start going to homeschool meetups near you and she'll start making friends there. Many parents take toddlers.

Hope this helps! Please do feel free to reach out directly with any questions you have. I'd love to chat more manisha[at]modulo[dot]app
That's true of most countries, the best we can do with our vote is hope that when mixed with many other votes it leads in the direction we prefer, sometimes in a direct count, often in a multi-staged affair where your vote may or may not influence a local MP/senator/whatever which will then potentially influence which political party's leader becomes the PM/president/whatever.

Maybe (surely) the EU could be restructured to be even more democratic, but isn't that also true for pretty much every country in the world?
"Zuckerberg and Chan tapped prominent Republican election lawyer Michael

A few additional helpful things to keep in mind:

- drop any interpretations of your child's behaviors which see it as malicious. Develop a habit to see all behaviors as (often imperfect) strategies to fulfill a basic human need (https://www.cnvc.org/training/resource/needs-inventory). Try to guess the need and look for better strategies to fulfilling it. If impossible to fulfill the need, provide a framework for regulating the emotions arising from that.

- you will often be triggered by your child behaving in certain ways. These are your triggers and your work. Many of these are trauma patterns installed during your own upbringing. Were your needs prioritized? What is your attachment style? What was your family's style of dealing with strong emotions?
Is there any progress on those Small Nuclear Reactors (SMR)? The promise was 3-5 year builds for one unit and allowing builds in parallel to deploy multiple units and hooking them up to form practical larger plants. But it seems it cooled a bit now? It would appear to be perfect for the EU situation and there would be a lot of money and interest I guess. It is just hard to find concrete and up to data information.

Roe vs Wade upended precedent before it, so precedent alone is a bad argument. The majority ruling specifically rebutted what it thought were nonsensical arguments in the Roe decision for tying the right to privacy to some inherent right in the constitution. Neither right should be viewed as constitutional and even if the right to privacy were, tying abortion to it is a fantastical leap of logic.
The SEC cannot make new categories until and unless Congress passes a law either making new categories or authorizing the SEC to do so.
The limited privacy right in Roe was invented by the Warren Court to decide Griswold vs Connecticut (contraceptions). The only other case where I recall privacy being explicitly mentioned is Lawrence vs Texas (sodomy), a case which directly derives from Griswold.

You are right.

The direct etymological connection to the phrase used in the Vulgate (4th century Latin translation of the bible) I was trying to make doesn't exist. At most a weak allusion.
The latin word "fiat" ("let it be done") has different specific uses in English, I wasn't aware of, one of which is generally an arbitrary or authoritative command or order to do something; an effectual decree.[0]; which fits the bill much better (:

A soldier on the move would probably have been healthier than a slave in the heart of a Roman city. But deaths associated with day-to-day life are very different than deaths far away on campaign. Remember that it would be many months, possibly years, before a family knew whether their son had survived his military service. And a good number of sons that did survive never actually came home, instead settling in some far away place or were stuck without money enough to make the return trip.
The technology doesn't have to solve all problems to have economic value. Arguably the "cash alternative" problem is a fundamental problem of coupons themselves. And as you point out, these are not new problems, and does an immutable public ledger makes such activity easier to audit and prosecute? I would argue 'yes' and that web3 has not made the problem worse but in fact better. The authorities do not need to request your books for starters. And as a retailer you do not need to maintain the books. Its already in a trusted ledger. This is a market efficiency. Inefficiency is not a way to secure things.

As far as doubt whether customers are asking for this - I mean, again you can listen above but yes a number of large retailers and vendors like Wal-mart and P&G are going live with this use-case this year.

And who are we to decide what is economically viable and what isn't? Let the market decide.
Right, but the argument for why one would consider it to be protected is clearly spelled out in the original court case – regardless of any subsequent ruling.
Got a bit more time.

I agree with you! And there are some of us out there too.

In broadcast, where I live, only a single TV station is going for best quality. All others compromise quality to offer multiple program streams or substations. There are a few in radio doing quality first, with most offering multiple streams.

Online, I often see quality emphasized when it is not compelling in any other way. In this discussion, I feel speed is not a meaningful differentiator. Great news would be!

The rest of my comments are supporting why that is.

Nice, and compelling websites, programs, and the like are super nice and appreciated by me for sure. Sadly, that combo is rare.

It sometimes comes at a small premium too. I will often pay that, given it is modest and covering the added cost and not over the top of the value added.
> But was she not elected by EU members of parliment, who were elected by EU citizens?

Yeah but no. I guess there's an electorate, as much as there's active components in homeopathic snake oil.

> I think it is more related to what powers they can exercise.

Nothing of that changes the statement that Mrs., err, von der Leyen is not directly voted by citizens. The word mongering is immaterial to the metacommentary on power structures. Which you acknowledge and leave pretty much unspecified. If I understand the top comment correctly, there is fear of corruption or whatever, and it's simply disengineous to blame that on the electorate.

As a point of reference, Fukuyama (end of history, etc.) outlines how corruption is a normal tendency en route to regulated democracies. In this view, where local patriotism and consequent nepotism are concerned, it sounds to me very much like the electorate shares in the blame, and that the organized societies on the next level, the model democracies, must have grown out of this.

I rather doubt that this is the case. Sure, the aristratic family name may be a statistical fluke, especially where family names pass through paternal lineages. It is nevertheless part of the bigger picture.

TL;DR: Yeah comissioners to the parliament are voted but no they aren't. This is not debatable.
Yet I often come across websites that only work in Chrome. I think the "no need to cater for niche browsers and target a specific browser" isn't as true as web programmers would like to believe.

Clearly true, but the opposition parties are even more incompetent. Also, they are cohesive and motivated, and that's enough.

I really don't get who looks at the existing continent-size governments and says "yeah, I want that to be the model for how I'm governed"
And that change took years for everyone to standardize and design and then agree on to activate.
> Most Republicans are barely competent. They couldn't takeover an unarmed city state if they tried.

It doesn't take most. It only takes a few if they are well placed. Read the article he linked to and in particular think about point #7 there.
Scott Alexander wrote an interesting post on this:

Have you been keeping up with rulings from the Supreme Court this term?
There is no x year limit, there is a x ton of CO2 limit. Gradually reducing CO2 output has a lower area under the curve than doing something for ten years and then dropping output to zero.
By comparison, direct air capture of CO2 costs something like $600/ton. At 40 billion tons of global CO2 emitted per year it could cost 24 trillion per year to remove current emissions.

That said, I would bet there’s better economies of scale / ability to innovate lower cost zero-carbon energy sources with direct air capture rather than a giant space project.
Because programmer usually is not businessman.

That is, first you bet, then you could win, or lose.

This is totally different lifestyle and different style of thinking.

And that's not all. In reality typical win means, you just got much more than typical bank deposit give. For example bank give 10%, but you got 20%.

And this also consider much different knowledge set and skillset, than typical programmer think.

For real business much more important than abstract loc, how good you know business (and/or lifestyle) of your client, and how good your code fill his needs.

Separate important problem, what people say they need, does not really equals to what they really need.

And one also very important part of this puzzle, sometimes you must become salesman and convince your client to buy your solution, which client don't understand, but you sure, it is what he need, and may be more important to you, to what you invested your time and money.

And for salesman it is very typical, to have ZERO permanent part of compensation, live only from percents of sales. And to be honest, sales are not 100% depend on salesman skills, but have few peaks on few famous parts of year, and also have huge known decline periods.

So, if programmer want to be paid in proportion to his VALUE, he will deal with all things I mentioned. And yes, in many cases, this means, to become much more salesman and much less programmer.

To be honest, in usual developed country it's worth it. In developing country, successful programmers paid comparable to big bosses and to media stars.
So does posturing. People disagree on the real problem: some think it's fossil fuels, some thinks it's overpopulation, some think it's industrialization. Can you be briefly specific about your focus and preferred outcome?
