That's pretty much the same issue you have with renewables, especially wind. Sometimes it will just produce more than you need. The solution is the same: use overproduction to produce hydrogen or for desalination plants. It's actually easier in the case of nuclear, because demand is more predictable than weather, and you have excess energy day, not only on a few days per week or month.
Well, not exactly related, but the question reminds me of one posed to Ivan Sutherland[0]:

"""When asked: "How could you possibly have done the first interactive graphics program, the first non-procedural programming language, the first object oriented software system, all in one year?", Sutherland replied: "Well, I didn't know it was hard"""

> This solution worked well for the handful of emails I tried it on. I’m planning to run this on a cron to save myself some time and automatically maintain recruiter relationships.

Maintain recruiter relationships?! You're sending a glorified autoreply that plugs in a couple values. That is not maintaining a relationship. Luckily, there's no relationship to maintain, because the recruiter probably just blasted out an automatically-generated message to a list of contacts in the first place.

This sort of thing makes me sick. It's an abominable distortion of human interaction, and it makes our society worse.
Always buy Business models of any brand. Lenovo? Buy Thinkpad. Dell? Latitude or Precision. HP? Probook or Elite.
Business models are made to last, since companies buys them in batches of about 5 years and when they fail, the brand has to replace them.
HP is a brand that usually sucks but my wife (then my gf) bought a HP from the business model and it lasted more than 10 years.
There’s a reason why consumer laptops cost less than $1,000
Panels are great for VERY SPECIFIC USE CASES. They do not fill the role of energy security.

You need reliable , clean nuclear plants. The ones from fifty years ago are great, imagine what we could do if the fucking NRC stopped adding such incredibly dumb and onerous requirements on any new permits for new tech.
Good reviews are worth real money.

These real reviews end up becoming their own website and channels. E.g. vacuum wars
Members of groups don't pay. And it's their data that is valuable, since it comes in bulks. Noone would care if it was just the data of the paying group organisers.
I think you’ll see the fuel supplier unable to supply 100LL somewhere between 10 and 20 years as this rolls out.

The critical element is this is miscible fuel. It doesn’t need new tanks, new pumps, airplane mods, or any big-bang adoption. It takes refineries licensing the formulation and individual airplanes to spend around one fillup’s worth of fuel on a piece of paper.

That’s a 5-10 year process, not a 20. Once the volume drops off, the one plant making TEL will plan to shut down I think.

I’d expect to see an EPA Clean Air Act update to ban 100LL in the 10-20 year timeframe as well.
Individual countries are usually left to enforce these laws on their own. Many EU countries are already subsidizing their national carriers in one way or another, so they aren't always keen to push passenger rights. For example Germany notably allowed Lufthansa to illegally hold customers' funds for more than a year after cancelling flights during COVID.

Players of RTS games will note that this is why you have to build resource storage as well as extraction - storage functions as a "shock absorber" that saves you money in the long run. (A consumer credit line is, for example, a kind of virtual/worse type of storage that is, ironically, not even available unless you already have significant flow.)

Quite difficult now to reach this scale with personnel records, but: imagine that you're asked to provide the median of one trillion data points. This could provide lots of interesting possible approaches, since it's about the boundary between "big data" vs "do it on your laptop". And you can't just load it into Excel.

(and also to ask about the range of the data!)
How would you observe "nothing"?
Can someone provide a reasonably unbiased take on the state of Californias electric grid? From the outside looking in, it seems their push towards renewables was perhaps too aggressive and now they are having issues meeting demand - but admittedly (living on the east coast) I am pretty ignorant on the intricacies.

What a terrible post. I can't think of a time in which charismatic and outgoing people didn't have an advantage. We're highly social animals. Of course it is beneficial to navigate and engage with a social environment.

The author paints a tired straw man and puts himself and all other introverts in the role of a victim. The former is unhelpful and the latter downright harmful.

Sincerely, a so-called introvert.
They're still around, I use one because the sound chip on my motherboard somehow failed. I'm allowed to use a subwoofer and 2 sets of speakers I got at goodwill for like 20 bucks. These speakers I use were like 200 dollar speakers back in the 90s so despite them being old they're still good and still work fine. Soundblaster mainly makes the soundcards, granted mines old from 2013 but it works fine on a modern PC. I just checked the site and they made a 2022 version so there's obviously STILL a demand for them, probably because it's hard to get an inexpensive subwoofer unless you buy second hand and it's actually cheaper to buy a separate sound card for 45 bucks and buy used speakers than buy a modern bluetooth or USB one. I saw other more expensive options but went with the least expensive because I needed sound and believe me it's better than the soundbar I used before for music. If you're an audiophile who wants to use your computer as a stereo with older speaker setups? They're still useful. Most prefer headphones now but personally I actually like using my setup even if I was kinda forced into it by a sound chip failure.

> You cannot just spin up production of a nuclear power plant when you need it and shut it down when you don’t. They’re always producing so when demand is low, they’re producing too much and wasting it.

Yes you can, pretty much any plant built in the past 20 years does that and in France/Germany even older plants have been designed to do it.

(Economically it's undesirable of course, because the marginal operating cost of a nuclear plant is very low.)

You can't always encode every semantic mismatch in the type system (or be checked by the compiler in general). Although with a sufficiently powerful type system, at least the ones that are reflected in variable naming should be catchable.

For example, the convention of naming your 4x4 matrix transforms AfromB leads to the following kind of composition:

vecInD = DfromC * CfromB * BfromA * vecInA

Here, you can very clearly spot any mismatch (e.g. if someone put BfromC in the middle instead). With the right language, you could also have each matrix source and destination reference frames encoded in the type system if you so desired.

Where it gets harder to produce errors is higher-level patterns that transcend adjacent names:

if (atomicVariable.read()) { /* something that assumes atomicVariable is true */ }

This should invite suspicion - it is clearly concurrent code, so what prevents atomicVariable from changing right after entering the if?
You can use the median of medians with quickselect to guarantee the O(N) time complexity.
Of course, haven't you done the math with a zero down loan and 30% tax back?

Would be silly not to at least look into it with a good roof layout and quote...
Visual programming tools, such as Grasshopper 3d, have created a microworld of custom-made plugins and user interfaces, mostly to generate 2d and 3d geometry, but often used to achieve other programming feats.

There are even explicit plugins that let users create UI components to control and visualize program inputs and outputs.

This speaks to my ongoing crusade to try inject pragmatism into the political conversation. There are far too many unintended consequences to this sloganeering that is used to stir up the populace.

We need to get away from focusing on intent of a change and look at the practical effects of the change.
That comic is spot on. Though I would say, as a developer, I would think "Someone at the CIA accidentally took down their own website briefly today"
It's been a few years but when I have been in Bangkok for a few months I just took my scooter around an area I liked and walked into good looking buildings asking for an apartment and had a monthly contract the same day.

The symbol for the multiplication shows as "ă" for me for some reason.
You forget one very important item:

* Somehow get all manufacturers to only create quality cables complying with the standard whose capabilities match what they say they do.

That won’t happen. Some manufacturer will start making a cable that’s longer than what the spec says is possible, or will try to get away with a bit less shielding or a bit less conductor in the cables than what the spec requires, or will decrease quality control, so that their cables are fine, on average, but 1:1000 buyers will get a melon that’s sub-spec.
Perfect. :D
I wish for color coded rings around the cable to show capabilities. I got 50 and d* are those icons in black on black small, if there are any.
It is, but I will accept this as a valid critique that I probably didn't make my original point as well as I could have.
As far as I know, the problem in the US in general isn't the amount of power they can produce. They have the prodcution and installation capacity to put up huge amounts of renewables (solar + wind) in a short time.

BUT the problem is that their electric grid is World War 1 era tech in many parts. The Camp Fire[0] fire was caused by close to 100 year old power lines mechanically failing.

This combined with the insane amount of permits and licenses needed to install new power lines makes this a tough nut to crack. (IIRC _anyone_ can complain about a transfer line as long as they can see it from their property.)

One of the options in the user research as to why you preferred one or the other was “better algorithm”, as an alternative to “more uplifting content” or whatever. Surely ‘better algorithm’ is just the means by which the user experience is delivered? No one uses a social media app ‘for the algorithm’!
> an attacker could easily book many flights without checking in. This would cause the airline to fly at a loss.

An attacker could easilly ask for many ambulances to random addresses, by calling from different phone numbers. They can do the same with the police and fire department, and as a result real people will die because emergency services are not avaliable.

An attacker can book hotels where you pay on arrival. They can order thousands of pizzas with cash payment on delivery.
They can probably do even order a truck full of cement if they can pull off an act.

There are thousands of possible contrived scenarios, life is full of possibilites. You aren't designing an API

This is like 'men will pretend to be transgender and be hanging out in feemale toilets' - random fictitious scenario divorced from reality.
Several outstanding NBA players have competed well into their 40s:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_oldest_and_youngest_Na...

Remarkably, this doesn't appear to be a "career bonus" solely for (the less injury-prone?) point guards or centers. All positions are present, including power forwards like Karl Malone.

I'm not in the US -- could one say that current NBA games have a considerably faster pace (more jump-and-shoot) as compared to, say, the early 1990s? This would probably require more physical strength, which makes the 40+ guys even more interesting.

I played handball during my teens, and I remember a renowned goalkeeper who performed incredibly at age 45+ (possibly even at national team level or thereabouts; at least as first goalie of our country's number one team). IIRC, he was also a dedicated smoker, always having a pre-game cigarette, LOL -- in all seriousness, this probably contributed somewhat to keeping him exceptionally alert during the game.
Allison was produced for P-51, which was designed to specification done by RAF and designed around Merlin engine. The reasons for existence of Allison engine were iirc part political part practical (second sourcing, low spin up of license production as Packard team learnt Merlins, low amount of British Merlins available)
You're right, and I should have been more clear with the nuance I was trying to get across. Growing up, guns being used to indiscriminately kill other people was something that happened somewhere else, often associated with drugs/gangs. Even in my smaller city, there were simply some places you didn't go. But, no one considered kids showing up to a school and shooting people. Then Columbine happened which brought it out of the the big/inner city and into everyone's backyard. And around a decade later, Sandy Hook.

And to the original post, there's also an income inequality component. More well off parents probably felt (rightly or wrongly) they could move to a safer place. That feeling has been eroded through school shootings, no matter how statistically insignificant they are.
Is it only me or does the bear training data in Figure 13 not make sense? “Q: Is the bear loud? A: The bear is soft.”

And what are we to make of the reasoning step that “All round things are loud. The bear is sound. Therefore the bear is soft.” The bear is sound? What does that even mean?

Is that a typo that should read, “the bear is round”? If so, why isn’t the conclusion that the bear is loud rather than soft? From the context we do not know that all round things are soft, only that all soft things are round.
But most EV's have settings to do delayed charging. In mine I can set it to either start charging after XX:XX or I can set it to be ready at a certain time, fx 7:00 in the morning.

Some chargers also supports these settings.

Hit that exact bug with a customer at work in libvirt. Two machines booted at approximately the same time generated a VM with the same Mac. Due to very poor choices of random seed using the boot time and PID and xoring which made that even less random.

Details here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1710341

It was since fixed though I never updated the bug.

src/util/virrandom.c:virRandomOnceInit seeds the random number generator using this formula:
unsigned int seed = time(NULL) ^ getpid();

This seems to be a popular method after a quick google but it's easy to see how this can be problematic. The time is only in seconds, and during boot of a relatively identical system these numbers are both likely to be relatively similar across multiple systems which is quite likely in cloud-like environments. Secondly, by using bitwise OR only a small difference is created and if the 1st or 2nd MSB of the pid or time are 0 then it would be easy to have colliding values.

Though problematic from basic logic, I also tested this with a small test program trying 67,921 unique combinations of time() and pid() which produced only 5,693 random seeds using PID range 6799-6810 and time() range 1502484340 to 1502489999.

GA doesn't handle mass transport that can switch to railways, so it's a bit moot point.

So GA infrastructure and railway infrastructure is effectively orthogonal and you need both (passenger/cargo airports also greatly benefit from having rail links!)
I think the financial markets can solve this. People like me who like the luxury of having reliable electricity every day of the year can buy futures from a nuclear operator. And people who don't mind cooking in the middle of the night or having a week-long power outage now and then can buy solar or something on the spot market.

The article, despite it's poor quality, goes a little deeper than just 'charisma'. Gentlemen and cowboys are two archetypes of stoic, charismatic men which valued calmth over being active and vocal.

There were plenty of times being as vocal as people are today would be incredibly stupid at best, and paint a target at worst. Being outgoing has little to do with sheer volume or pushing others out of the picture.

Also, amount and frequency of contact is far higher than before. I find it more plausible loudness is a bandaid among a society trying to continue at breakneck speed, than being inherently more charismatic.
