Ocean floor bedrock is basalt, which has much lower U/Th content than granite. Granites are continental rocks.

Geologically, U and Th have been concentrated over the billions of years by about a factor of 1000 in the minerals that have accumulated in continents. Were this not the case, fission power would be completely impractical.

Robotics company CEO: AI has failed on many promises. Here’s what comes next
We'd only need a compromise here. The concept that failed, afaiu, was batteries you'd swap at the gas station on a trip, which you probably want to take no longer than refilling your good old ICE car took. That seems impractical for several reasons. But if you had a range extension pack that you could add/remove in 30 minutes before a longer trip, maybe that would be more realistic?
It's the first time I've seen a video of her and I had the same impression. I think it has something to do with her lack of arm movement (also not derogatory).

You forgot to mention that it was due to diseases carried by europeans, it was not voluntary. The 5000 white killed the day of independence of Haiti was voluntary.

I have both a Kobo reader and a Pocketbook reader.

Both are great, both can read CBZ/CBR comic book formats, have custom fonts, get all books via WiFi sync.

Lately I use the Pocketbook more because it synchronizes the book reading page between the reader and the smartphone app. No matter where I got the book from.

Really interesting stuff, makes me wonder if Perl is a good language for something like this.
I don't agree with this. If an engineer can't estimate how long something will take, usually that's an indication that your requirements are unclear, or there's a history of changing up requirements on people. What you've labeled as a limitation is probably an engineer being honest with you.

This is about long-term archiving though. For that you want a wide-spread format that is well-documented and has many independent implementations.

Like zip/7z (with external error recovery), or maybe RAR (with error-recovery records)

Fast compression or decompression is almost entirely meaningless in that context, and compression ratio is also only of secondary importance.

This is why PDF is still considered the best format for long-term archiving of documents, even though there might be things that compress better (djvu/jp2)

Hydrocarbons, especially medium-chain liquid hydrocarbons, can easily and safely be transported 10_000 kilometres and further.

Doing exactly that is presently about a quarter of total global international trade by value.

Their advantages of high energy density, safety, and undemanding environmental and handling requirements (distribution can be performed in temperatures from -40 to +40 celsius by almost untrained teenagers), and effectively unlimited storage duration and volume, far outweigh the energy inefficiency of producing them from atmospheric carbon. Especially once PV gets cheap enough.

Edit: I notice I didn't answer your question. For liquid hydrocarbons, I believe the answer is in the single digit percents, perhaps five percent. For LNG, the energy cost is much higher, perhaps as much as a third of the total energy value.
An Ansible Reference Sheet
There’s a great long-form article about this: https://medium.com/matter/8476df17bddf
Ask HN: Where in the world would consider UK developers as offshore?
Is there anywhere in the world that does, or wouldd, offshore/nearshore development work to UK developers? Similar to how some UK business offshore and nearshore to central/Easten Europe and India etc. I suspect it would have to be regions that pay their developers substantially more than UK developers.
But there was no McDonald Douglas absorbed into Ford to explain this shift. Yet it seemed to happen during a similar timeframe (late '90s, early 2000s).
You overestimate the speed of the train (30 minutes of flight = 3h by train) but underestimate the time it takes to fly.

I live in London and my closest train station is 10 minutes by foot, the closest airport is 1h by car or 2h by public transport. Also I tend to arrive 2h before departure, so flying burns at least 4h before even sitting in the plane and maybe as many hours when you land. It's a whole day affair. Domestic flights aren't any better. You save maybe 10 minutes not queueing for passport control.

Flight is terrible unless it's intercontinental. But most prefer the plane because it's vastly cheaper.
Everything is discrimination by these standards. Disability is a personal thing for a lot of people, it's perfectly reasonable to be hesitant to ask people about it.

In addition you can bet not many disabled people want to be a walking survey of the problems they face. To that effect, you can check any disability forums, which are littered by engineers wanting feedback on their products. Hell, just look at the top post of /r/blind written 6 days ago.

This looks nice, subscribed.

I’ve recently been looking for a quick way to write short “mathy” notes in markdown (with full MathJax for math) and share will collaborators for commenting and found HackMD to be nice for this (codiMd is the open source version).

I also found Authorea which looks nice but it does not let you comment on markdown text. And there is too much clicking around to write math.

Ideally there should be KB shortcuts for everything so one doesn’t have to keep clicking on the menu just to insert math.
Funny how everyone says Haiti is worse off because of colonialism, yet the Dominican Republic was also a colony of Spain, had civil wars for over 100 years after independence, then US occupation, then another civil war.

The problem is that forced conversions are definitely part of historical record - look at Qutayba bin Muslim in Central Asia. It is true other dynamics such as language shift and material gain also played a role and it was gradual for the most part.
DT fusion reactors can produce much less radioactivity, particularly long lived radioactivity, than fission reactors, but there are some caveats.

First, the radioactivity is spread through a much larger volume of material. The cost of dealing with it will have a component related to the volume rather than the total radioactivity. It's not clear that dealing with fusion's waste problem will be cheaper than dealing with fission's.

Second, getting low induced radioactivity, and particularly low production of radioisotopes with long half lives, may require expensively low concentrations of impurities in the reactor materials. For example, the RAFM steel Eurofer 97, a top candidate for a DT reactor construction, contains a small amount of nitrogen. Even this trace caused problems from 14C production pushing the steel over a regulatory limit requiring the steel to be disposed of more expensively due to that 14C content.

(I also have seen a claim from Abdou that the Eurofer 97 for DEMO would cost $3B, just for the raw steel. I'm not clear where this estimate comes from but it could be due to the need to expensively purify the steel of impurities to avoid their activation.)

The story you got told is just plain wrong
Maybe. Literally had a situation few weeks back when a waitress brought our meal to the table, dropped it all on the floor, and her first words within 5 seconds? "your child distracted me, what have you done" - a child that was strapped in a chair and commiting the grand crime of smiling at her. She calmed down shortly after and apologized, but her first instinct was to blame anyone but herself.

Like yeah, maybe it's getting better. But I keep running into these situations where if something goes wrong, you are always at fault by default. I don't mean to say anyone else's opinion about it is not valid though.
Not really a genocide as such. The people were not being massacred because they were European, they were being massacred because they were slavers. That doesn't even strike me as particularly unjust, particularly for an era where serious crimes resulted in capital punishment. Slavery steals lives too and in a more horrific way than straight up murder.
Didn’t know that, that sounds great.

> Stop estimating. I have analysed every team I have been on that use estimation. Those teams have been 99% incorrect. In my experience, it does not work. If you need dates, I would recommend a more modern approach like forecasting.

What's the difference between estimating and forecasting? Seems very binary as written, but at some point don't you have to look forward and make some assumptions on complexity/effort required to solve a problem and the general time it takes to solve them in order to do a forecast?

This move solves this year’s problems but doesn’t address the lithium shortage that is already showing up in the price of lithium going up 5x. Analysts predict that by around 2025 lithium will limit the battery market that is trying to grow 40x to meet electrification demands. Note that opening a new lithium mine takes 7 years. Maybe Ford will be able to start selling sodium based batteries then.

The book would be an anthropological study. Having worked as a freelancer for more than 15 years, seen many companies from startups to large finance I see these patterns over and over again, it's like human nature.

Totally unrelated companies have these exact same flaws. Clueless middle management driven by money and ego making these destructive decisions. At the same time, a group of engineers at a startup without much management can go rogue and burn millions on fancy tech and frameworks without making anything useful.

The only successful projects I have seen is with a capable senior engineer in the team, who can listen and understand what a tradeoff is. If this senior is trusted by both the team and the manger the team can be effective.
That's a non-answer to my comment. Limited funding and a available money is the same thing. The point is the funding isn't so limited that we couldn't do both as we run in other bottlenecks.

FWIW, my family, friends, and I have been using nextdns on idevices, consoles, “smart” tv to almost completely block ads and tracking via dns black holing. Pihole does the same if you prefer selfhosted. Recalcitrant apps like YouTube have no known solution because they take care of their own dns resolution. But for most other use cases (browser, telemetry, iOS apps) it works very well and I almost never see any ad anywhere.

The article implies that slaves in Haiti were "ripped from Benin" (known then as the Kingdom of Dahomey) by the French. In fact, chattel slavery was a long-established practice in Dahomey which made noble families there very rich. It was practiced in tandem with ritual torture and murder. These practices continued until around 1900 when the French, in response to slave raids conducted into French protectorates, finally fought and deposed the last King of Dahomey.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benin#Pre-colonial

>The kings of Dahomey sold their war captives into transatlantic slavery. They had a practice of killing war captives in a ceremony known as the Annual Customs. By about 1750, the King of Dahomey was earning an estimated £250,000 per year by selling African captives to European slave-traders. The area was named the "Slave Coast" because of a flourishing slave trade. Court protocols which demanded that a portion of war captives from the kingdom's battles be decapitated, decreased the number of enslaved people exported from the area.

This history's still a very sensitive subject in Benin:

Nobody deserves revenge. We deserve justice. But slavery and massacres are fundamentally unjust. Revenge perpetuates cycles of misery—that’s the story here.

Neutron bombardment will make the innards of the fusion reactor radioactive as part of its normal operation. No accident is required. The induced radioactivity will be so high that hands on access will be impossible, even with the reactor shut down. This will make maintenance difficult.

Content ID is explicitly not a way to do DCMA claims, it’s a pre-DCMA automated process outside the legal framework that flags a lot of false positives. The legal DCMA takedown process is only initiated after (1) Content ID flags content, (2) uploader disputes copyright claim; (3) claimant rejects dispute. The claimant can block you for 30 days without doing anything.

Can they implement such a system? Sure. But don’t say it’s DMCA or they’re required to do it. They have a separate DMCA process, and the cost of submitting false claims is higher there.
