According to [1], fully enriched and fabricated uranium fuel is approx $2770/kg, or about $0.0077/kWh.

The average heat rate for natural gas is something like 7732BTU/kWh, or 44% efficient[2]. The cost of natural gas around Sep 2019, before this whole mess, was $2.56/MMBtu[3]. That comes out to $0.02/kWh, 2.5x per kWh than nuclear.

At current price levels of $8.81/MMBtu, that comes to $0.068/kWh, or 8.8x per kWh than nuclear.

Not even considering how nuclear fuel can be stored and stockpiled much more effectively than gas, the benefit to Russia of using gas is much much higher than using nuclear.

I think the TSCM change is more relevant. Having the best process node in the world for rent for anyone willing to pay is really transformative.
To be fair, the countries I was comparing Apple to are also only "aiming" to do something about their carbon emissions.

I don't get what the point is of a crewed flyby. The crew would just be cooped up in the craft the whole time with nothing to do except take measurements with instruments that could just as easily be done by a machine.

This isn't the Apollo era, we're pretty confident we can send spacecraft all over the solar system and keep humans alive in space for years.

This makes ZERO sense..

I live in a cold climate.. Our furnace is "essential" to prevent my family and i from freezing to death. Under your plan we should pay more for this?

And those who cant afford it? Let me guess, government rebates, making a complex program even more complex?

Any time your solution requires "rebates".. it is flawed from the start.
Definitely a fan of this model. Anecdotal, but I recently subscribed to AMC+ because the pirate streaming site I was using didn't have the latest episode of a show I wanted to watch. I could have waited a literal day, or gone to a torrent tracker, but paying the $9 was just easier and shows support for the show.

I think what we’re all kind of lacking is the idea of statists vs non-statists. The left and right swap positions on issues like military welfare (tell me again our burn rate in Ukraine right now) and state surveillance (generally a left-loved cause these days) over the decades. The state wants power at a cost to the citizenry. People in power enable this regardless of their party. We should also acknowledge that it’s the nature of the system for the power structures to try and get their hooks in politicians as quickly as possible such that they can be made tools of the power structure. I guess the benefits are good but the consequences on people in power “fighting the system” are multimodal, relentless, and effective.
I was specifically curious about dedicated powerbanks. This discussion got sidetracked to cars.
For this reason I always thought Sony and Nvidia should just auction off their products initially till the auction price is barely above the floor price/planned retail price.

Thanks for the correction. Technically the copy is made by the computer you are sharing it with, not the original.

My mind was dead-set on the printing press analogy for some reason.
Curious as well. About a year ago I was implementing what I thought naively might not be a very difficult verification that a specific string existed (case sensitive or insensitive) within a PDF's text and had many cases where text viewed was clearly rendered in the document but many libraries couldn't identify the text. It's my understanding there's a lot of variance in how a rendered PDF may be presenting something one may assume is a simple string that really isn't after going down the rabbit hole (wasn't too surprising because I dont like to make simplicity assumptions). I couldn't find anything at the time that seemed to be error free.

Aside from applying document rendering with OCR and text recognition approaches, I ended up living with some error rate there. I think PDFgrep was one of the libraries I tested. Some other people just used libraries/tools as is with no sort of QAing but from my sample applying to several hundred verified documents, pdfgrep (and others) missed some.
It's not really a jigsaw puzzle, thought, right?

I mean, expanding electricity generation capacity is not dependent on the existence of electric furnaces.

Unless they plan to generate the additional electricity with the gas that would otherwise have been used to power consumer furnaces.
Escalation into violence does not discredit a revolution while it IS extremely regrettable and perhaps discredits the people involved. If escalation into violence was able to discredit a revolution, the regular every-day violence inflicted on the civilian population by bad cops, etc would discredit the government or at least policing.

At the point where rioters are being killed instead of merely arrested it's hard for me to look negatively at the rioters choosing to strike out with violence of their own. They aren't using the tools and backing of the state to oppress.
I think this is a valid point. For example, I have always wondered why default browser styles don't at least adjust to the OS's theme - be it Metro, Material, Qt, Gtk, whatever. It would solve a lot of issues for bare-bones websites, while still allowing full configurability for websites via override. And if we really cannot have nice things because of backwards compatibility, make OS integration optional via <meta> tag etc.

Why does every website have to reinvent the wheel?
> Why should The West “get credit” for the ocean’s CO2 dissolution capacity just because they industrialized earlier?

That's why I originally compared emissions in 2020 rather than emissions remaining in the atmosphere. You can't have it both ways.
Damn, I'm glad the American library system isn't held to such asinine rules. I can buy a second hand book from a shop that pays nothing to publishers, donate it to a library for free, and the library is now allowed to lend that book as many times as they please, never having paid anybody a single cent for that right.
Simplest theory:

- weapons were owned by the military or LE

- Weapons were stolen from storage or armory by corrupt officials and put somewhere less secure for later sale

- someone who knew where they were and wanted to support the rioters stole them and shared them out quickly

- or criminal elements stole them and spread them to seed more chaos and tie up LE while they focused on robbing something more substantial

What kind of machine learning does your company do? It's probably something simple, because for anything complicated, like computer vision, speech recognition, any non-trivial NLP, and large scale recommender systems you do need neural networks.
For the battery part, any boring Dell Latitude is no worse. As probably are other common business laptops. It’s much easier in most of the world actually – your local dealer might have one in stock, no need to ship overseas.
And Linux support for this machines is pretty decent too, a good trade-off over peculiarities of modern Windows at least. It’s been like this for about 10 years already, in my experience running Ubuntu and lately Mint on mid-range laptops as a tech-savvy user who hates tinkering with OS setup.
Well, maybe not specific speeds, but… :-D

What you're saying makes sense, of course. I found some hundreds of meters of discrepancies in some rides (Apple Watch 4 vs. Karoo 2). Less than 1% of the total distance, of course.
Sounds like a good idea, but would, IMO, split less along the essential/non-essential line than along the richer-poorer line.

Richer people likely also would counter this with battery or diesel powered backup power (already happens a lot in countries that have irregular blackouts). If they use batteries, their power usage would even go up dues to losses in the charge/discharge cycle.
I agree that funding for otherwise unknown authors is necessary for high quality books, and I agree that more sales mean more money around to fund "risky" authors.

But I'd rather see funding work a bit like science, where you ask a non-profit for funding based on a project proposal that's judged more on its merits than on its sales potential. No author would need an "X Twitter followers" pre-requisite anymore.

And then there's the counterpart, namely, reach: when I studied Japanese in South America the only textbook available in Spanish were photocopies sold (illegally, of course) by the University of the only original they had - with such a small market and highly devaluated currency, no bookstore imported the book anymore. Had it not been for piracy, none of us could have studied. And it would have been poor consolation to know that our sacrifice in not pirating a book would have led to better books somewhere else that we also wouldn't be able to afford.
The presentation mostly lists warnings and notices about deprecation. If you turn them all off, most likely the compilation would pass.

So, backwards compatibility is there (if we ignore newly introduced keywords).
Fair enough. I guess I assumed that in the context of a community that surely appreciates the marvel that is the internet, there was a secondary objective in mentioning it.
You rarely reboot the whole computer. You can take parts of it offline for repairs and the software will route around it. There is a PC inside it running Linux whose job is managing the various subsystems up from powering up the PSU, making sure UPS batteries are charged, that cooling is working even before the CPUs are powered up and microcode is loaded.
I don't think one has to go this far. It's already a hard job being an author, and if you make it less well-paid for the median author, we'd get less art, and less knowledge shared. However I think one could easily make a case for making it less well-paid for the big winners head of the power-law curve (the Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Mickey Mouse, Star Wars, etc) which extract huge paychecks from the copyright monopoly.

I think it's fine to give authors a temporary monopoly of say ten or twenty years, to reward production. The problem is when the modern special-interest-driven capitalist system hooks into this and keeps lobbying to increase the length of copyright, benefitting estates and conglomerates, rather than the initial authors doing the creative work. And the public pays the cost.

> The entire framework we have for paying authors is through distribution cost.

This isn't true through. The price in funding creation of the book (there is value on having the author focus exclusively on writing the book rather than finding time while doing a full time job), editing, marketing, etc.

It's like saying the price of a phone is simply a tally of the cost of each individual component, where you have to factor in engineering, R&D, etc.
The decision to wind down nuclear was made almost 10 years before Fukushima and it was Merkel who initially postponed the decision. Once Fukushima happened they figured it wasn't such a hot idea to have decades old plants running. So it has nothing to do with hip.

>Because it makes a naive assumption that there's some magic money tree a state government can go to in order to pluck dollars from that the voters have chosen not to provide for salaries and other expenses.

I mean there clearly is one. Ukraine got billions within two days of asking. We've sent them what, $70 billion this year alone? Funnily enough no new outlet seems to be tracking the total, just covering each one individually so it doesn't look like we're doing what we're doing: Prioritizing Ukraine over US citizens.

Copyright law is a very clear restriction on freedom of speech. That's not to argue that it might not be a valid restriction, or justified or something, but I don't really see how it could be argued not to be a restriction of freedom.

And it becomes very obvious that if people can share stuff for free, someone somewhere will. That combination of freedom to share speech and ability to do so at 0 marginal cost results in books being shared for no cost.
This makes no sense at all. I'm on Monterey right now, with a OS install and user that has been with every upgrade and Time Machine migration to new hardware since 10.3 (2003). That's 19 years of upgrades, virtual machines (which always have programs that mess with networks, kernel extensions and file handlers), package managers (including Fink, Macports and brew) and devtools (including many JetBrains products, Xcode, Sublime Text, BBEdit, VSCode, Atom (which is now dead), Docker Desktop which I replaced with Rancher Desktop and then have Podman on the side. Even the Apple mail app has had its database upgraded all those years, as did iTunes (which eventually became Music).

On a second machine that started from 10.5 onwards (on a PowerMac G5) I have a nearly identical setup that ended up in the same state but also had the hop to M1 done. No "eek my Mac feels so dirty" there either.

Granted, I have a Debian install on yet another machine that has been with me since Woody (2002-ish), and that is similarly just upgraded over the years, switched from 32-bit to 64-bit in-situ, switched between ext2/3, ext4, ZFS, root-on-zfs, from BIOS to UEFI, and it still works great.

I think that while the OS and vendor definitely have an impact, it's really going to depend on the user how it works over time.
Yes, +1 for Recoll. It can also OCR those PDFs that are just an image of a page of text, and not 'live' text. Read the install notes and install the helper applications.

When searching I'll first try the application or system's native search utility, but most of the time I end up opening Recoll to actually find the thing or snippet of text I want, and it has never failed me.

I think OP was using "financial crisis" in a non-technical way and was referring to the Fed's targeted plan to leave an additional 1 million people unemployed by the end of the year.

If we assume this is what they meant, I think the post is reasonable. The fed is targeting labor in this way specifically to avoid a wage/price inflation spiral. Those hurt the most by such a spiral are capital holders as the relative power of their capital decreases.

(all this said, I would actually prefer solutions targeting the land-holding class, over labor and capital).
Exactly, I am talking about skill and the use of words as a means to add flare to a story, but it does not make you better. Just because you can translate a black and white story (which conveys the message/lesson) using all the colors of a rainbow does not make you better.
If you think you know you can't you're probably right. I would think and give credibility to the idea that people can distinguish between something moving up/away from the horizon into the sky and vice versa.

Are you seriously suggesting using system-wide installations and modifications to run development environments? Even if all else fails, you should at least have a chroot for that. Or if you don't know how that works, virtual machines have been a thing for decades. Vagrant exists. Containers exist, heck, even in a user-friendly button-click interface with Docker...
Avoiding the need to wait 26 months between launch windows certainly reduces the degree of difficulty. Going from "oh we wish we had X that we didn't think of" to having it is literally almost 3 years on Mars.
That would require such evidence to not be classified. Which it presumably is, as one possibility for the cause is "some other military surreptitiously pointing directed-energy weapons at us while we're out-and-about"; and — regardless of the likelihood of that explanation — just in case it is the explanation, they wouldn't want to do anything that could provide a public-channel feedback loop for said other military to learn exactly how effective their new weapon is.

Who said anything about democracies? Or that they are peaceful on the inside? They need to be stable and reliable trading partners and that usually works splendid when they get something out of it. In fact that works rather splendid for the countries that aren't on everyone's shit list. The really ugly truth is how much of the moral standards are conveniently forgotten when trading with authoritarian countries sporting despicable human rights records.

I haven’t been hit directly, but I have been indirectly. I was working with some wiring inside a building when it got struck maybe 100ft away outside.

All I recall was seeing the biggest flash of my life and then being ~6ft away from where I was, no idea how long it was between those points. I had almost no control of my body after, I couldn’t properly speak, could barely walk, and it took me ages to manage to control my hands enough to call someone.

I spent the rest of that day in hospital being monitored, but they never found any physical damage after various tests. I probably got lucky, but I felt off for days after.

I’m been shocked badly before, but even the worst instance doesn’t even come close to how bad this particular experience was.
Apple's investment in ARM in November 1990 (when ARM was spun out of Acorn as a joint venture between Acorn, Apple, and VLSI) was a result of Apple's decision to select ARM for the Newton sometime in 1990 since Acorn and Apple competed in the UK education market [1].
