I would not worry about weight distribution too much. That is the easy part. You just pile upp batteries where the engine block used to be and the luggage department up to the original weight.

The main concern is probably electrical safety and fire protection for the batteries.

Social media has taken a significant bite out of what I would consider the more important parts of the older MMOs, especially when it comes to apps like Discord. Not enough people want to interact in games anymore outside of specific gameplay scenarios.
I've been a bit of a nuclear nerd for a long time, and somehow the author still shares information that is new to me: I had no idea how quickly high-level waste dissipated, love the plots of the radioactive decay.

> The decay of heat and radioactivity over time means that after only forty years, the radioactivity of used fuel has decreased to about one-thousandth of the level at the point when it was unloaded. Less than 1% is radioactive for 10,000 years. The portion that stays radioactive for longer is about as radioactive as some things found in nature and can be easily shielded to protect humans.

Why are legislature actions written about this way?

Everything about bills, even other branches of government like court cases are written so ambiguously, you never know from the headline or article about where the bill is in the process, what court is involved to gauge effect, but compared to something high tech there has been hundreds of years to get better at that
Not necessarily. For example, you can make money by writing a review of a book that includes quotes from the book; that is considered fair use. But if you make money by publishing a book that consists solely of quotes from other books that others have copyrighted, on the grounds that this assembly of quotes from other books might be useful to future authors, that would not be fair use.

To me, the latter scenario is much closer to what Github is doing with Copilot, which is one of the things the plaintiffs are alleging violates open source licenses.

The fact that you feel personally attacked by my statement suggests that your beliefs are well, beliefs, and not necessarily grounded in fact.

I recommend you read "The Wizard and The Prophet" as it chronicles the dawn of the environmentalist movement in an engaging and insightful way. That environmentalism was largely funded by wealthy folks, most of whom had only a rudimentary understanding of science, should be a clue towards how much science factors into those discussions.
Gas stations and corner stores also tend to have the highest prices. Climate change policy advocates are doing a real disservice to their cause by not being honest with people about the sacrifices/hardships these polices will cause in the short term.

In Europe, small companies tend to be exempted. E.g. no GDPR data protection officer required when less than 250 people in the company. 10, 50 and 100 are also personnel counts seen on a regular base.

In practice, a lot of companies stop growing just below the limit, and e.g. split in parts that have supplier relations to each other. No, we don't have 2000 employees. We are a group of 200 companies, owned by the same owners, and having 10 employees each.
Information disclosure or GDPR breach? A Google tale
The author, who gives every appearance of being funded by the industry, founded an activist group that claims:

> Aim for 50% nuclear at least, as per the science.

Which suggests a pretty cavalier attitude to "the science".

edit: I take it back, she's in cahoots with Shellenberger and GWPF so it's the fossil fuel industry that she's supporting.

I thought the timing was mysteriously exact for both her and Shellenberger to be running the same "I used to be an environmentalist" story:

https://www.netzerowatch.com/gwpf-welcomes-newfound-realism-...

> In recent days, former Extinction Rebellion spokesman Zion Lights has announced her conversion to the cause of nuclear energy, while so-called “eco-modernist” Michael Shellenberger has gone further, and apologised for the years he spent scaremongering over climate change in a long article at Forbes website.

> Welcoming these developments, GWPF director Dr Benny Peiser said:

> It’s great to see these prominent green campaigners disavowing the eco-extremism that has done such damage to the world. When Michael Shellenberger says that climate change isn’t even the biggest environmental problem the world faces, he’s echoing a view that the GWPF has highlighted since our inception.”

Extinction rebellion have a page on her (NSFW warning for some nudity in the banner image):

https://extinctionrebellion.uk/2020/09/16/statement-on-zion-...

> There have been a number of stories in the press in the last few weeks with criticisms about Extinction Rebellion by Zion Lights, UK director of the pro-nuclear lobby group Environmental Progress. It appears that Lights is engaged in a deliberate PR campaign to discredit Extinction Rebellion.

> For any editors who might be considering platforming Lights, we would like to make you aware of some information about the organisation she works for and her employer, Michael Shellenberger.

We don't use that much corn to make ethanol here in Brazil. The share of corn in our ethanol production is only 13% of the total[1], the rest is from sugar cane. According to the research institute Embrapa, most of our corn is for human or animal consumption.

As for your affirmation that it sucks for fuel, the growth of corn as a competitor for sugar cane in the production of ethanol here in Brazil is not "thanks to government regulation". In our country, sugar cane farmers have a lot more pull with the government than corn farmers. If government meddling was an issue, it would make the use of corn as a source of ethanol more difficult, not easier.

If ethanol producers here are turning to corn, is because it has economical benefits.

Nothing about cars specifically enables this. Building cities so that you have to drive to travel any significant distance, however, guarantees that you need a car to take advantage of competitive pricing. But that's self-apparent... Building dense cities that can be accessed by bike and on foot would have the same effect. Spreading out your city so that what could be a 15 minute walk is now a 15 minute drive isn't an improvement.
When a computer is fed human-developed code and then reproduces it verbatim elsewhere (which copilot has been shown to do) it is called “copying”.

The problem with this is that it pretty explicitly makes the chatbot a worse product. The beauty of google ads is that they don't degrade the service. If they're not interesting just scroll right past. I don't think people would use the adbot service if Bing is providing a competitor that only has banner ads or maybe a clearly marked ad link. Bing wins because they go from making no money on search to some, but if google copies the strategy their market size is destroyed.
Dragon Naturally Speaking was, ironically, more flexible than today's voice tech besides the fact that it wasn't internet-connected (I think?). It's not like you can attempt to write an essay with Alexa or control a browser window with it. What's also funny is how we have this narrative that cloud computing is a necessity for AI, and yet Dragon had NLP that fit on a CD-ROM. Ok, maybe it came on multiple discs... I'm forgetting, but my point still stands.

Most of our advances have been in marketing rather than substance.

The current generation of AI/ML may change that in some way. Dragon Naturally Speaking may have been a thing in the 90s, but I'm pretty sure we didn't have anything close to GPT or Stable Diffusion.

If you let manager choose whom to manage: 10 brilliant scientists in a research group, or 100 engineers building a product - almost every Indian manager will choose the latter
> MMOs are just so expensive to develop now that innovation is almost dead.

I look at this differently. I think the extreme cost of an MMO should force innovation. Take the constraints for what they are and run with them. Accepting that you can't do it the "traditional" way is the first step to figuring out a better way.

There is nothing that says a high-quality WoW killer absolutely must cost 10 figures to produce.

That's fine if you own a house to charge your car in. So far I've had to live in apartments for one reason or another, and that basically makes EV ownership not feasible. Can't charge at home unless the complex has EV charging (not always, or with big caveats if they do), can't reliably charge at work.

If they can figure out how to have a fourth "nozzle" at every gas station that charges an EV in 10 minutes, I'll use it.

Sodium Ion chemistries will drop to $40/kwh at pack level, based on bill of materials.

So a 100 kwhr battery will be 4,000$, and that is likely overkill for almost all conversions.

I would imagine these would be "city car" 100-150 mile range conversions, so probably 40-50kwhr packs and 2,000$.

YEs that is OEM supply cost, so we'll see what happens.

I think they'll become huge in classic cars, because the EV motor is compact, and the batteries can be placed in flexible ways. Classic car owners can ditch inefficient motors that they have no parts for. It's not like classic car owners routinely drive 1000 miles, they just toot around on the weekends/

I have some experience with this.

I live in California, have a Subaru BRZ, and for a while I had a Flex Fuel "kit" installed onto my fuel line/ECU, along with a specialized tune.

At least for that platform the cost depends on how you want to run E85. For me it was roughly $2000 or a bit more for: the tune itself (on a dyno, there are some canned tunes that are cheaper but not necessarily as reliable), the flex fuel kit, and the license for the tuning platform.

In the end, the mileage was worse. I think on pump 91 I can average 26mpg with a good mix of highway/city driving, less if purely city.

With E85 I was lucky to get 16-18mpg. And I've heard it's worse for cars with more power (BRZ's are relatively underpowered, about 185hp at the wheels).

Price-wise, E85 was cheaper, sometimes a difference of $1 to $1.50 less than pump 91 (required octane for my car).

I guess it depends on what the goal is, because for some cars it'll mean filling up a lot more often; I'd be curious if the delta in emissions between pump 87/91 and E85 is substantial enough for the additional fill-ups to be worthwhile.
Something I wonder is what the computing landscape (and tech recruiting) will looks like once we reach a critical mass of "GitHub Co-Pilot native" devs. Especially with the bootcamp craze.

Montlake had a small grocery store that was torn down precisely because of the 520 construction. (I can't speak for Eastlake).

520 is a highway after all, and highways are hostile to walkability for a multitude or reasons. (this fact still remains, even though efforts are being made to improve the situation in Montlake).

You're confusing ignorance and apathy of individuals with institutional apathy.
Environmental activism is riddled with irrational emotional appeals that don't align with objective reality.

One can make an argument that this is necessary to get the majority of people to care about the intractable hyperobject that is climate change, but I think it very clearly deserves condescension and ridicule when it becomes clear that these emotional appeals from environmental activists have been accidentally fighting legitimate possible solutions (nuclear) which has indirectly helped the fossil fuel industry that they're supposed to hate.

No, that would cost more energy than we extracted from it. However, what we call “spent fuel” isn’t fully used up. It can no longer be used in a normal reactor, but reactors can be build which can continue extracting energy from it. In fact, only about 2% of the usable energy has been extracted from the fuel by the time we start calling it waste. Most of the high–level waste from today’s reactors is really just fuel for reactors that we haven’t built yet, due to over–regulation.

Isn't this expected. Bitcoin seems like a completed project, you can fine tune it to get better perf, fix security issues. Any significant architectural change is basically impossible now without breaking backward compatibility. Not only that, you have to persuade miners to use the new code. I remember the hate around increasing bitcoin block size to 8MB (to allow for faster transaction processing, on par with debit cards), which lead to creating Bitcoin Cash fork.

Bitcoin is like git basically, it works, most of the crypto fans are happy with it. Non tech people are using nice UIs without any understanding what happens to their money.

OTOH I have friends that work "around crypto", they either work on new coins that provide privacy/speed/eco-friendliness or create exchanges or create other financial stuff like crypto robo-advisors that buy/sell according to user spec algo. The scene looks similar to what hedge funds are doing on major stock exchanges.

All non-cash transactions have associated fees--they're just obfuscated because consumers don't pay them directly. Visa takes 1.15% of every transaction, for example. There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Crypto fees are too high, though. The average ETH transaction is, I think, ~$6. That means it's uneconomical in the vast majority of cases.

Of course, everyone who uses it knows this, which makes for an odd scam, don't you think?
If that where there would be no discussion about the switch to heat pumps. But it isn't. In old houses (bad insulation, old radiators) and edge cases ("winter") heat pump are not just inefficient they may not be able to heat the house at all (unless extremely oversized).

This is a huge problem in Europe where a house is expected to last a 100 years, in many areas much more.
> At least you can mostly just ignore “crypto”

But you can’t ignore its effects, such as the environmental impact. If cryptocurrencies had zero effect on the people who don’t use them, there wouldn’t be such a large opposition.

The condescension is deserved. The green movement has done more harm than help to clean energy by blocking nuclear power trying to push energy sources that were not economically viable. This was mainly due to emotional backlash against nuclear energy.
What you're describing will primarily happen at incompetent orgs without good development practices, code review, good management, good hiring, etc.

You need to spend more time to find loopholes - so only wealthy tend to benefit from them. You want to make stock ownership more “equitable” - repel the original “wash sales” law.
