Promote yourself and your town. I'm looking for a new home in the same way as the OP, and my best hope is that a few dozen like-minded nerds will gentrify a small town, because they have been so undercut by cities of late.
This isn't really the case, its not a conspiracy. What happened in the US is that because of public opinion and a few issues the regulator was replaced with a very conservative one.

When they wrote the regulation it was written when PWRs were the only commercial type of reactor, so regulations were hard coded to regulate those reactors.

And the DoE would not, at least not for free, even attempt to regulate anybody else. So if you wanted to get a license, you would literally have to pay the DoE to develop a licensing process first.

Even if you had the huge financial power to do this, it would likely be a decade+ before the DoE would even tell you what exactly the requirements are that your design has to pass.

Other regulator such as the one in Canada or Britain don't suffer from that technology dependency. But even without that, the regulator still needs to be motivated to regulate non standard reactor. In Britain this is not the case and that's why Moltex Energy for example, relocated from Britain to Canada.

In Canada, after CANDU was sold commercially, the Canadian regulator was very motivated to actually look into GenIV reactors and SMRs. Thus that is where all advanced reactor development takes place.

This is mostly not a fossil fuel conspiracy, but rather an over reaction based on uniformed politicians and uninformed public.
I am perplexed why games (video or otherwise) are so looked down upon by general news media (reflecting received societal “norms”). Before video games it was Dungeons & Dragons. Now there are extremes where people get addicted to it in unhealthy ways (at the cost of relationships, income, etc), but we don’t judge other forms of entertainment or industry by the extreme bad outcomes. It also seems to be a strange whipping boy for “it causes your kids to be violent” despite research pretty clearly showing it decreases violence (likely providing an outlet).

Games exist even outside humanity. It’s literally instinctual for wolves and a part of learning to hunt and all social animals AFAIK engage in similar forms of play as a way to learn skills / connect with others.
Although I agree with all the anti-foundationalists here (i.e. “badges? we don’t need no stinking badges!”) I must say that in my heart, I like to feel that I am a good person. To accomplish that, I find people I can help and I try to help them.

I want to feel that I am a good citizen. I want to be respected by people whom I respect.
You can model it as a series of tubes of different diameters.

Look up "digital waveguide" for some more details. This technique is mostly used in speech synthesis, where it can make pretty realistic human-speech-like sounds by modelling the vocal tract, but there's no reason it can't be applied to a car exhaust system.

Yes, and my point is, its a bad label.
Most of that kind of thing is often limited to a fairly limited area. Worth learning where those areas are, though.

If you're specifically looking at mice, you might want to check out RocketJumpNinja. The reviews are pretty biased towards suitability for FPS, but they are quite in depth, and the reviewer is pretty knowledgeable.
couldn't have tacked "device" on the end? too difficult to think of in the moment?
> It is unclear what security the AES encryption here is meant to add, as the key is stored right next to it. There is no MAC, so no integrity check for the ciphertext

I imagine this is to prevent accidental disclosure of sensitive data through basic tools (only) like grep, and Spotlight.

Also to prevent layman attempts at tweaking the files in a text editor like one used to do tweaking save files as a kid. But not to protect against dedicated attackers.
Debatable in part.

Law case books, reporting court cases, with particular page numbering (formatting in your terms), do not amount to a defensible copyright, so the West Publishing Companies case numbering citations do not amount to a defensible copyright claim, and those page numbering citations can be freely used by other publications.

You can make the code more robust. For example, instead of a yes/no check, make the check come up with a symmetric crypto key to decrypt the next chunk of code (if it also passes a hash check). Glitches will end up generating garbage, and even if you successfully glitch the hash check, you're executing random garbage.

Of course, the challenge there is that you've merely eliminated one glitching candidate.

Stuxnet had code blocks that encrypted by a hash of target hardware identifiers. No way to know what all code is contained, until it happens to run on the target system.

He was not wrong. Microsoft has been "activists" that have been actively lobbying multitudes of states for years pushing for consumer privacy protection laws that really do meaningfully improve peoples privacy.

Of course, that's only technically correct. The bills they have been pushing for are terrible, they improve consumer privacy status quo in the worst way possible, by taking one step forward and building a wall that prevents any further steps.

The reason for this is mostly because they hate the idea a GDPR-esq law in the US and hope if they pass enough shitty laws in the states they can forestall federal legislation.

I think you are confusing the raw facts of how to prepare it (generally not copyrightable), and any original creative aspects of the preparation instructions.

So, I might incorporate into the instructions about what advice my grandmother said about making it, and that might be copyrightable.

Relating it back to the original story: You can't copyright the cocktail, but you could copyright the performance of making it.
Does it need to be GNU/Linux, or would you accept non-Google Android? Because if you're willing to make the sacrifices to do GNU/Linux on a phone, LineageOS without gapps is probably an option.
A few months ago my wife and I drove through Arkansas and saw a road side billboard for a white pride website and radio program (“Don’t be ashamed of your race”).

Hard pass no matter what the price.
Very true of hot-water heaters, too. We had the misfortune of recently needing to replace the "original" one that came with our house when we bought in in 1997. The installer told us that all current models, including some quite expensive ones, are warranted to last seven years and might give us a few more. "But you won't get 25 years out of anything today."

Thinner vessels seem to be the main culprit. That does save a few dollars on materials costs.
Any advice for someone who just started as a tech lead at a new company? One of the devs interviewed for the spot but didn’t get it and is ten years older than me. It’s mostly younger Junior devs but I want to do a good job. Oh and it’s remote right now.

My plan so far is to take every engineer who is local out to lunch individually to get to know them, and encourage them to use the yearly education/convention stipend to get us all at a convention together later this year.

Also, the app has been updated for about 2 decades, so it’s more certain to continue being developed.
Not sure what is hard to understand, so far FCEV have been a total failure.

And the market share will be very low. Sorry I don't have a complex mathematical and simulation model that can predict if it will be 0% or 5%. My best guess is that is likely below 2% but I could be of by 100%.

My point is quite simple, the market will be very small.

You in comparison have not really provided no convincing argument that it will have a high market share.

If you want to assign a 'team' to me then, if you want then I am on team 'lets use energy efficiently' and also on team 'lets not have the government continue to give money to automotive companies to develop hydrogen technology'.
They also have explicit leadership training and military discipline. Most of the Israelis I met at TAU (post IDF) were much more disciplined and mature than even American grad students at similar ages. Wouldn’t surprise me at all.

Side note, sometimes I get “flashbacks” of my time in Israel and miss it. In those moments the US feels sorta like a surreal place detached from reality a bit too much. Silicon Valley/California is the worse for that.
Anecdotally, new units are about the same quality for a higher price than 10-15 years ago. Nothing objective, could be wrong; in my late-2000's case, it was from Costco, so maybe it was higher priced elsewhere.
It's not very cheap here :-( Sure, less than a million, but not 'cheap' either. It's a small city at this point rather than a small town. And winters are cold. The airport will get you most major destinations on the west coast.

Happy to have beers with anyone who comes through to check it out, though!
I think most places aren't one of the highest crime cities in the country? I don't think the mistake you made was moving from cities, it was moving to one of the worst towns in the country.

We moved from Berlin to the Baltic Sea last year (after 20+ years) because remote allowed us to do so, and we love it. And the home was much cheaper. So I can't help you with a city, but encourage you to move forward.
my peeve is that if you bring up the terrain map, you see topo lines, but they disappear the moment you get close enough to actually read the elevation of the lines.

The city also has "Da vinici days" in the summer which is great.

There is a fair amount of suburb-type housing I didn't really like, but there are also little hippie areas and cool spots in the hills.

> maintain capital discipline.

And why?
No rational investor will invest capital when collection pipelines and distribution pipelines will not be permitted. Returns on capital investment in refineries is paid back over decades. A rational investor will not allocate capital to new refineries.

It's like domestic nuclear after Carter stopped development of fuel reprocessing - further investment is done for many decades.

Generally think college towns around land grant universities are a very underrated option. Outside the immediate area around the campus core they tend to be cheap because of an abundance of land. These towns tend to be very educated and cosmopolitan, with maybe not a ton of cultural options but certainly a few high quality ones.
No they really don't. It was a terrible attitude and a bad comment.

The poster would be bringing money into the community. They would be paying taxes; if they buy a house, there will probably be property taxes, which typically support local utilities, schools, libraries, etc. They'd be shopping at local stores. The poster asked about schools, so they probably have or will have at least one kid - so purchasing things for at least 3 people. That doesn't sound parasitic to me, it sounds more like investment.

What people are afraid of is not "parasites," it's growth changing the size and character of their community. Which I'm afraid is just the way of things, especially if the area you live in becomes desirable.
Don't forget rabies! Or those California ground squirrels that chew through cars' brake lines.
I think it depends on what is doing the observing. If it's humans or conscious beings or something like that, then the admins could be keeping the precision perpetually out of our reach.

If it's atoms or photons doing the observing, though, they're affected by the gravitational pull of every mass in their light cone. So an atom can distinguish between universes in which another atom 1000ly away moved by 0e or 1e (where e is the distance between two lattice points).

But, it wouldn't have to know until 1000 years later. There does seem to be some computation-resource saving mechanic at play, but I don't think it has to do with discretization.
> These scams are going on in India too. [...] and there is no legal framework.

They said this about Mexico as well, but this doesn't ring true. Even if the microfinance market is unregulated, extortion, death threats and harassment must surely be serious crimes. Perhaps the issue is enforcement? I assume the app operators obfuscate their ownership and ops, but a even a minimally functional major crimes unit must at least be able to catch the worst offenders, no? Or at the very least just have Google/Apple disable the apps.

How would the reputation follow you unless you were working with someone who knew you personally from IIT? And that person would have to be in the same or a closely associated team for there to be any interaction. Those seem to be really long odds, given that, as you said, IITs are tiny. They would be long odds for any college, tbh, and not just IITs.
It's amazing what we do have. Just the computers alone are more than anyone could have ever imagined. But as for flying cars, they do exist, but we just don't need them.

The EPI's numbers are wrong/misleading for a few reasons.

- The productivity and compensation graphs are often inflation-adjusted using incomparable deflators. Productivity is measured using a GDP inflator (which includes investments) whereas compensation is measured using a CPI deflator (which only includes consumer products). CPI is historically higher[1] which means compensation is artificially being deflated more than productivity.

- The most well-known graph from the EPI[2] shows productivity for all workers but shows compensation for only 80% of workers, with the provided reason being to exclude high earners like management and executives. Which, sure I guess, but surely the two metrics should be kept consistent.

If you correct for these errors you end up finding a productivity/compensation gap that is much smaller than the EPI claims, though notably not zero. The EPI themselves have a figure that includes all workers and uses matching deflators ([3], figure C, "Real producer average hourly consumption") so perhaps some of the blame here is on readers.

I think this BLS paper on the subject[4] is well worth a read. An interesting result they found is that the industry with the greatest productivity/compensation gap is...computing. Probably not the jobs people usually imagine when they think of stagnating pay.

Well not too much yet, but my kids are begging me to go because they want to go to the mall there. It's about 1.5 hour drive, which seems like a long trip, but my commute to SF was longer than that (each way) via Caltrain so it's not really that bad I guess.

It does not appear to be the case that the previous 1998-2001 Lyme vaccine had the problem you claim:

> By 2001, with over 1·4 million Lyme vaccine doses distributed in the United States the VAERS database included 905 reports of mild self-limited reactions and 59 reports of arthritis associated with vaccination.

> The arthritis incidence in the patients receiving Lyme vaccine occurred at the same rate as the background in unvaccinated individuals. In addition, the data did not show a temporal spike in arthritis diagnoses after the second and third vaccine dose expected for an immune-mediated phenomenon.

> The FDA found no suggestion that the Lyme vaccine caused harm to its recipients.

Can you cite a specific incident of it giving someome Lyme disease?
