> What sort of culture war or regulatory arguments could be made to explain France's failures with the EPR design, that so closely mirror the US's failure with the AP1000 design in the past decade?

There is no scientific failure but economic war by the US; on people, parties, presidents.

Not competitive.
I wonder if this is a general phenomenon with Delta's codeshare partners: I flew on a KLM 747-400 that looked like it came right out of the 1990s a couple of years ago. I think they've retired it since, but it was very surprising to step onto.
Not so sure. The educated Roman elite could certainly record their knowledge onto various medium (tablet, papyrus, etc.). Sure, it wasn't disseminated to the masses (who couldn't read anyway), but it wasn't lost, at least not until the fall of the Western Roman Empire. The Empire had extensive written records on all kinds of things, particularly as pertaining to the military.
One of the many things that I found tempting about working for the U.S. Digital Service was that, while the GS-15 pay grade is definitely way less than I'd make in the private sector, my spouse's family is military/government and the difference between "hippy programming thingy" and "has a GS-15/O-6 job" would've been night and day. The one puts me in a pile of stereotypes, but the other says "oh, he's basically the bureaucratic equivalent of a Captain, that's very respectable."

If you're making a 13 month calendar, you have to rename all the months so that there is no ambiguity. If you plan an event for September 15th, it would be insane for people to have to ask the question "which September 15th"?

Better yet, let's just get rid of months. They make no sense as a unit of time. There is no other measurement that can have multiple different values depending on the time of year. Imagine if the length of a meter varied, life would be madness.
> Then making one that wasn't certified for exams is exactly what they should have done. As it stands, they're just another TI.

I don't think "just another TI" should be undervalued—I remember how exciting their calculators were in my youth, and now they're, well, there's an XKCD for that (https://xkcd.com/768). Some competition that would get them back to make a real investment in innovation would be very welcome, even if it didn't result in an open-source calculator.
It is? It reads like meaningless marketingspeak to me. It doesn't actually say what GitHub-Next is.

even if what you say is true, it should have been possible to properly wrap the package so that the phone inside doesn't get damaged. that doesn't cost to much. and if they can't cover the risk of damage with money back, they could offer insurance for that instead. i'd gladly pay a bit extra.
Different circles I guess. While my spouse's family considers government jobs to be stable and somewhat respectable, there is a lot more respect for FAANG and other high paying jobs. One is respectable, the other is prestigious.

One million square feet may sound like a lot, but it's hardly anything. For an eight lane highway at 12 ft per lane, plus two additional lanes' worth of shoulder, that's only a ~8,333 ft length of road.

Finland is one of the worst places in the world for renewables. This means that any industry using significant amounts of energy is going to move away from Finland, once fossil fuels are no longer used.
Here is what I suggested in my comment:

> storage (hydro or battery), to geothermal, to advanced geothermal, to hydrogen, to ammonia storage, to who knows what will be developed over the next few decades

With storage on solar thrown in as only one option at the end. And though it will probably be a dominant solution because it will be by far the cheapest most locations, it won't work everywhere. So look to other tech.

I desperately hope Olkiluoto comes online soon, but it's also a pretty clear indication that nuclear is not a spectacular option for Finland either. But it may be your best option!
Generalizing Dijkstra's Algorithm
There are many personal anecdotes about how one treatment was a game changer. I don't doubt them, but as the article says, it doesn't work for everyone. I am posting this as a counterweight to all the glowing reports.

My wife has some chronic health conditions (EDS and ME/CFS and depression); I'm sure they are at least partially related. While ramping off of one antidepressant in anticipation of trying something different, her depression came roaring back, so the doctor prescribed ketamine infusions. It didn't help at all.

Part of the problem was the clinic. One of the (correct) refrains about psychedelics is the importance of "set and setting". To the employees, this was just one of eight infusions they were going to do that day and it was all very routine, but for someone who has never experienced psychedelics, an attentive, caring, gentle environment would have helped a lot. Being a woman, it was tremendously anxious for her to go into a closed room with a male nurse she had never met before and give up consciousness and control for half an hour. Having a different nurse every time wasn't great for building trust. There were some other things too, but ultimately the main thing was she experienced no benefit.
Amongst psychedelic therapists it’s pretty normal to include Ketamine under the rubric of psychedelics these days, even though receptor purists might still object. Same is true of MDMA. From a subjective experience there’s no doubt that it’s different, but at psychedelic dose ranges most psychonauts will characterize it is a psychedelic experience, and ketamine can produce experiences every bit as weird and life altering as the tryptamines.

One interesting line of research on thinking about new ways to characterize this that they all can be characterized as re-opening critical periods of development. Gul Dolen at Johns Hopkins is spearheading this, and this interview with her is worth a listen.

Yet another strategy is to go work on other people's projects. Go find something close to what you built (or several) and see how their code is organized. Spend some time with it, change things, add a feature you want.

Arguable, but I won't. The strength of the safeguards is not the problem.

The surface problem is that the rules keep changing. That's part of the expense: repeated redesign, over and over.

The underlying problem that causes that, is that western societies do not want nuclear power. More: they actively dislike it.

It's all academic now anyway, at least as far as stationary electric power generation is concerned. PV power and storage is far cheaper, and the growth of the gap is accelerating.
Splitting up a groundbreaking idea into so many papers that the idea is lost is 1) going beyond a “minimal publishable unit” and 2) not in the authors’ interest, since getting credit for a groundbreaking idea in a correspondingly prestigious outlet is much better than getting credit for 2 or 3 bad ideas. I’m sure there’s a level of novelty where 2 irrelevant papers is better for the author than 1 single paper, but I don’t think we should design academic publishing around slightly-better-than-mediocre contributions.
But was that such a big factor? After all, most of the population even in 17thC England was illiterate. Industrial innovation was, at least initially, primarily driven by a small educated elite.

That said, this sorta strikes me like how apparently you can't actually write ASM against modern CPU architectures and think presume it maps one-to-one with what the machine is doing at runtime due to things like speculative branching amongst others.

V8 (and I guess other JIT compilers) would be similar as you can't guess the optimizations ahead of time in many cases.
It's so wonderful to hear that you were able to overcome this.

> You know that we can launch nuclear waste into space right?

Sure we can. That's why it's so popular eh?

> As for renewables the issue is scale and renewables have limitations

What "scale" is supposed to be the problem there? https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2019/08/wind-power-in-europe-...

And yeah...investment into fusion is limitless. The results however are quite disappointing. Meanwhile investments into renewables actually do something. They produce actual products which actually produce energy. In the real world. And they even get better. Imagine that.
Boggles my mind how people can witness Russia taking Europe hostage by occupying a nuclear power plant and making vague threats that accidents just happen sometimes and think "you know, the world really needs more of those looming threats". Let alone that extreme weather events are potentially dangerous for nuclear power plants -- and extreme weather events are, thanks to climate change, happening more and more often.
The point isn’t how similar (or not) the experiences in my mind are to actual death, it’s that at those times I’m convinced I am experiencing not just death, but total annihilation of my consciousness which is my personal best guess about what happens to us when we die. It’s not the moments leading up to death I’ve feared, it’s non-being and attachment to my own thoughts.

So then when I’ve experienced a series of “welp, here we go, I’m on my way to nothingness” and dealt with that terror in those moments, I’ve had the opportunity to accept that fate and even embrace the unknown.

And now that I’m not gripped by existential terror when I think of my own death, I find myself wondering if I’ll be surprised to find something else on the other side of it. And that’s way more fun :)
They just took the whole wine industry from Greeks. No added value whatsoever.
Where a higher category means harder to learn, just to be clear. (44 weeks for Finnish, according to your link.)
This isn't about nuclear vs coal. It is about nuclear vs renewables. And what it really comes down to is that nuclear is really expensive and takes way too long to build. For every nuclear plant you build, we can build the exact same generation capabilities for about half the cost and it can be built in a quarter of the time[1]. That means that the renewable solution will have already mostly paid for itself before the nuclear plant delivers its first electron.

I am 100% in support of nuclear where it make sense. But there has been this weird strain of FUD being spread around painting renewable advocates as some sort of crazed anti-nuclear zealots. Some of this is coming from pro oil and gas groups looking to spread uncertainty and doubt to disrupt decarbonization efforts. But it is also getting picked up by a certain subset of "contrarians" that think they know better than everybody else, but are clearly not doing their research.

The consensus is not switching over to pro-nuclear again. There's a PR effort to make it seem like that might be happening, but follow the money.
Because of what the parent said. They're probably making life harder for their coworkers even over and above encouraging companies to put these monitoring systems in place. (Assuming, of course, that multiple jobs is not considered perfectly legit as part of employment contracts/business ethics.) And, just to go all-in, if I had a co-worker doing this and I knew it wasn't allowed, I'd probably rat them out. In fact, I expect it's entirely possible I'd be in breach of some ethics guidelines if I didn't.
You mentioned the huge number of bovines in the past. I strongly doubt there were anything like the 1.5 billion cows there are now. One reason it’s impossible is that we have literally transformed huge land areas from forests and other types into land for cows. If you don’t get how what I’m saying related that is fine.
Yep, perfection it isn't, but this is a step in the right direction. Hopefully, the initiative that brought this forward also slowly rectifies the other issues with the site.

I don’t know about most of their routes but likely most of their long hauls.

Only 20% of their fleet today are 757s and 767s (and they are the largest operator for both), but they are also the largest operator for the Bombardier/Airbus A220 — my favorite short haul plane, which is an engineering marvel and a new design.

A lot of the MDs were from the Northwest Airlines days which they merged with. I used to fly NWA and the cabins were never inspiring but the points never expired and were among the best in the industry.

The worst case is they end up more expensive than we'd like. There is no chance they won't work out in the sense of not working at all.

So, it's just a financial risk. If one is talking about financial risks, one must look at the chance nuclear construction will be much more expensive than promised (for example, in the estimates used to compare renewables and nuclear). This risk historically has been very real.

Smaller doses of ketamine (recreational doses) taken via nose tend to alleviate depression and anxiety for me for 1-2 weeks, depending on how much of it I do.

I've been meaning to travel sometime to a clinic for the infusion therapy (that comes with some talk therapy) as where I am now its nearly impossible to source clean ketamine reliably.

Pretty mild doses of psilocybin mushrooms tend to have a longer lasting effect (a month or so), and extremely large doses can work for a half a year or so.

if it's so dependent on the environment, then the drug just doesn't work in general, meaning it's not viable.

if doctors are unable to find ways to make a drug work and predict it, then it's pointless.

"Just fix the garbage" doesn't work; it's there because someone in favor of the garbage wanted it there, and the folks opposed to the garbage didn't have the authority or influence to stop it.

...and that's the one thing AMP did right: it empowered developers to push back against the garbage by giving them a big ol' "Google says no" sign to wave around. Which is all kinds of problematic in terms of existential threats to the Open Web, but it did clean up that specific type of garbage.

How do we give anti-garbage folks that same power in a post-AMP world, without resorting to centralized authority?
The irony of disabling AMP but posting about it on Medium.
I agree, and think that this is one of the primary causes of nuclear failing.

Advanced economies have higher labor costs, but far lower manufacturing costs. Nuclear construction requires massive amounts of highly skilled labor, not only because of the miles upon miles of piping that require super-high precision welding that will last in extreme conditions for decades but even down to things like concrete pours.

My hypothesis on nuclear is that it only makes sense for a very very narrow window of economic advancement, where labor costs are still low, but there is still enough technological capacity to design and build a hugely complex beast of a project. But I don't have any numbers to back my hunch yet...
I did this when the touch ID macs were first released and very quickly disabled it.

Why? Because asking for a password for su / sudo broke the flow -- not only did I have to move my right hand from the home row (or both, for my watch), but it popped up a modal-like window away from where my eyes were. Basically it impinged on my focus.

Nice idea, not so nice in practice.

It turns out this is not the case. Many nuclear reactors in the US have been shut down because they couldn't even make an operating profit. The remaining reactor at Three Mile Island was cash flow negative for the last six years it was in operation.

I believe the seismic problems come from water flowing across the bore hole and eventually destabilizing the ground (this can happen with fracking). The Quaise approach basically cauterizes the hole as it drills, so water can't flow across. The water is more of a closed system.

Here's my stupid idea: It's my understanding that plants only respond to a fairly narrow band of light, somewhere between 400 nm and 700 nm wavelengths. All the other solar energy is more or less wasted on them. Could we have a solar panel that collected energy from a wide range of light wavelengths, and then used that energy to create light that is concentrated mostly in the 400-700nm range, thereby possibly giving a > 100% efficiency from the perspective of plant growth.

3. I do not live in the us, but in a rich economy and I am comfortable financially; compared to many people I know I live a simple life, why is probably why I do not need to charge $100+ or more - I'm in the top 10% wealth bracket already and looking forward to three more productive decades.
