The fact that the shutdown of nuclear energy in Germany is based on irrational ideological fearmongering and that it's doubly stupid to do so BEFORE having finished building up sufficient renewable energy generation and storage capacity, thus leading, at least temporarily, to a de-facto replacement of a sizeable proportion of the part previously held by nuclear energy with fossil energies like coal that are far more dirty (with CO₂ and other pollutants)…

… doesn't in any way change the fact that Germany has indeed been massively investing in renewable energies and has built up enormous capacities in that domain that account for a much higher percentage of renewables in the energy mix than the overwhelming majority of developed countries… and that those early and continuous massive investments by Germany have played a major role in bringing these renewable energies to the much improved viability, maturity and price level they now have.

There is no contradiction between those two facts.

If opiates were as widely marketed as large vehicles are, most people would end up being opiate addicts. People make stupid choices informed by misleading marketing all the time.
This resonates so hard. I really wish that SW stop assuming that if they are just installed, then the user is a complete ignoramus who needs to be educated and onboarded. I (for reasons) frequently install OSes from scratch and all the boilerplate is so tedious.
I respectively disagree.

I think Microsoft has put Sony in an impossible spot and, with the Activision merger about to go through, Sony is going to have an even harder time. The pandemic, I believe, has masked that people are migrating more and more to PC. Migrating to PC is a win for Microsoft. Kids play Switch and then are jumping right to PC. I don’t hear about a lot of Gen Z kids talk about PlayStation and have even heard it referred to as a boomer console and anecdotally the PlayStation crowd seems to be predominately 30+.
You may have noticed in general that convenience costs you money. A charger which is in China and you will get in a month is indeed worth 50 cents because all that's worth to you.

A charger right this second, at the exact location (airport, past security) is obviously going to cost more.

Both because you are being charged a convenience premium, and because chances are nobody would bother setting up vending for 50 cents (just think about hiring cleared employees, supplying your store on that side of security, rental of that very limited space)

In general, I find myself much less outraged at what things cost once I became versed in market dynamics.

If you are a businessman who forgot his charger in the hotel and your flight got delayed, you are thrilled to pay $35 for it (vs not having it at all since nobody would bother selling it)
I appreciate the warning!
there really does have to be something done about truck sizes though, they're objectively a hazard to pedestrians because the driver can see less. they're a nuisance in cities because they exceed the standard size of parking spaces, they cause more wear on the roads, and increase congestion.

Depends from where in CA. Austin cost of living is not very low anymore. It's not San Francisco stupid levels, but I didn't feel a lot of difference between San Diego and Austin in the last couple of years.

Texas makes up for not having income tax by having big property taxes. So, you may make out on that exchange depending upon what your family situation is. If you're earning are closer to median, California is probably better than Texas. If you're a high earner, Texas is probably better because California is biting you via income tax.

However, if you're coming to Texas, make damn sure your healthcare situation is sorted out. California is good about healthcare--the exchanges are decent and you can by healthcare retail for the price advertised on the exchange. This shocked me at one point as it meant that a friend could completely bypass the exchanges for healthcare and just buy it. Yeah, you wouldn't get reimbursement like the exchanges, but you could just whip out a credit card and purchase it retail.

Texas, on the other hand, is terrible at healthcare. The Republicans have sabotaged most things from the Federal government. Most of the hospital chains are mediocre and below, and many publicly available health plans are ferociously bad.
But I guess this is outside the check-in area, isn't it? Beyond the whole check-in, passport check etc point, everything is pretty thoroughly locked in and regulated. The only place I could accidentally leave that area was in Casablanca. I doubt it'd work at Schiphol or Frankfurt.
I think it also happens "because this one time something went wrong" so they establish a policy ... and another ... and it just never ends.

At least some long COVID is likely to be autoimmune and caused by the immune systems response to an antigen.

Both the virus and the vaccine are actually antigens. Your Nintendo Switch is not.

It is likely that some people who got the vaccine got severe lasting side effects. The incidence though has been measured to be orders of magnitude lower than the side effects (including death) from the actual virus.

The problem that we have is that we cannot talk about these kinds of tradeoffs in this society where any action that leads to negative consequences is treated as something to be litigated out of existence to make the world "safe".

The vaccine is a trolley problem. There are a few people who will get seriously hurt by flipping the switch. There are vastly more people who are going to be killed and disabled by letting it run.

> In some airports Clear with precheck raises the chances you’ll be directed into more favorable screening lanes where TSA are more relaxed, due to it being used exclusively by prechecks or crew.

Clear itself isn't giving you access to Precheck, though. You are only allowed in the Precheck lane if you have Precheck.

As I said above, the only thing Clear is doing (and claiming it does) is verify your identity so TSA doesn't have to. What lane you get sorted into is entirely based on what's available (ie. if the Clear lane you used feeds into Precheck or just regular screening) and whether you have Precheck or not. You can't get into Precheck using just clear and you'll be turned away if you don't have the Precheck status on your boarding pass. I have seen it happen at SeaTac.
Except that pedestrians face the same or greater risks than bicyclists from vehicles from higher front ends.

The biggest challenge is that pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers tend to live, work, and shop in the same locations. Even with separate facilities (sidewalks, cycle tracks), there will be conflicts (intersections and driveways). Lack of visibility and a disparity of mass and velocity are always going to be hazardous at these conflict points.
Theoretically, what we want is for it to be illegal to solicit or offer a bribe. If we can construct a legal environment in which people can accept or pay bribes but report that in a constructive way, then the negative side gets riskier without making everyone involved co-conspirators.

Practical example: Tuna boats in the Pacific have onboard observers from one of the island nations that own the EEZs that are fished. Observers are paid okay for their countries, but not really a lot of money in the grand scheme of things. It would be a net positive if they could accept a bribe from a crooked boat owner and then report it once on shore. Turn over the money (with maybe keeping a small finders fee) and then that boat’s owner gets penalized across the entire Pacific. Now there’s a very strong incentive not to offer bribes.
The difference in fuel consumed from 40 down to 30 mpg was a little over 40 gallons over your ownership (so under $200).

What I’m saying is if you just go to the Reddit.com/r/all page, which if you’ve curated to avoid all the negative subreddits, you’ll now get /r/combatfootage and people fighting included in this feed.

At the same time I do think freedom of speech is important, I think everyone who wants to should be able to see ISIS beheading videos or whatever so we know what barbarism is possible and to fight against it. But that doesn’t mean I want to see it all the time.

Change your approach to tests and grades in general. It's not an evaluation of you as a person, it's a game or competition to get the highest score.

Don't stress about or study for the test. Your studying should be to learn the material, your practice to master the techniques. Then, when the test comes, it's just like doing any other assignment.

The feature only turns on when your calling an actual phone number though, voice calls like Discord don't trigger it.

I think it's the usual meaning of shape, it's just perhaps that we don't typically think about what that really means. [I was an author of the Imperial study mentioned in the article, and I had some long arguments with my collaborators about whether it was right to describe our measurement as the "shape of the electron", so I feel compelled to defend the point!]

If I pick something up on my desk and feel what shape it is, what I'm really doing is mapping out the interaction between the density of electrons in the object under test and those in my fingers. I might infer that the electrons of the object are distributed in a spherically symmetric way (it's round), or perhaps something more complex (all the other less symmetric shapes).

So shape in the context of the electron shape measurements means how it interacts electromagnetically. If it interacted perfectly spherically symmetrically, I think it would be reasonable to say it was round. If it interacted in a more complex way (as in, you could grab it and rotate it, because it has some non-spherically symmetric interactions) then it's not round. Interestingly, the electromagnetic interactions of an electron are extremely tightly constrained by it having only 1/2 unit of spin. You can expand any field around a point in terms of spherical harmonics, and you can show the with spin 1/2, the electron can only interact in the manner of the first two spherical harmonics - monopole and dipole. So it can be round (monopole), or round + a more negative and less negative end (dipole). Nothing more complicated than that. (Assuming you believe quantum mechanics. The Wigner-Eckart theorem is the thing to look up if you're interested.)

These measurements, then are measuring the dipolar component of the electron's electromagnetic interaction. The only way in which it could be not round.

As to the point charge thing: well, that's like your opinion man :-) Which is to say, the electron is what the electron is, and it cares not how humans decide to describe it! These experiments are fine examples of a long tradition of measuring and observing to make sure our theoretical descriptions are actually faithful to reality.

You might be tempted so say that if one of these measurements discovered that the electron was not round, then maybe that would be evidence for the electron being not a point particle. It's complicated though ... and you'd find many physicists would start arguing with you if you did say that, because the current description of the electron - while being a point particle in a certain sense - is already pretty complicated (basically, because of interactions between all of the different quantum fields) and many people would say it's already not point-like. Many wouldn't though. Maybe the point here it's quite tricky to be precise about these things without just doing it properly with maths!
Thank you for this comment. I (as a large SUV driver) would be happy to have my tax dollars diverted to separate bike routes, with sane traffic signals, that let drivers and cyclists safely move around. There's way to much ideology involved, and not enough pragmatism.

Happens everywhere. I just advised a dev team manager not to push a code base to the test team while it was very visibly broken. You don’t need a tester to tell you it’s obviously broken, and any testing they do will just have to be redone anyway once the basic issues are sorted.

Nope.

Your opinion is based entirely on the assumption of materialism.

We used to think the earth was the center of the universe, we learned it's not.

We used to think the earth was the center of the solar system, we learned it's not.

We now think that the brain is the center of consciousness.

The trend is usually in breaking away from the idea that we're special, not in reaffirming what we already assume.

In this case, the assumption is that our brains are special. The breaking away would be understanding that the brain is not the center of consciousness, but that we're a part of something bigger, something which does not look like what we assume or imagine.

That means that future knowledge will likely not look like it is reaffirming any particular religion, not will it look like it is reaffirming the current popular fundamentalist materialist view.
For what it's worth, Apple supports old hardware for extremely long times. Even after Treble or whatever it was called, Android smartphones have way less support. macOS Ventura is supported on machines that are six years old. macOS Big Sur, which is the oldest supported macOS, runs on machines that are ten years old. And OCLP pushes that even further.

In contrast, just look at how ridiculously short many component drivers in the Windows area are maintained. Yes you can run modern Windows, but good luck getting security fixes for all the third party component drivers.

These prices work in airports because there are little to no repeat customers, AND there is no competition to drive the prices down.
Your best odds of being an american millionare is pushing all you can into a 401k which purchases sp500. Most american millionares are not business ninjas. They are teachers and firemen pushing into their 401k, they also don't make much money. "Only 31% averaged $100,000 a year over the course of their career."

Honest question. Does this even exist today? I dont know.
I am not sure why do you think it is a single vendor. JFK has 50+ shops in just the "Grab and Go" category. [1] I've been to a plenty of airports that have a lot of different vendors of overpriced crappy food.

It is not the competition. It is about extracting maximum of what the customer could pay. Same reason beer is expensive at the event venues. The second part of your comment explains it perfectly.

Typically true, but not necessarily. I saw one of those emerging technology videos that presented a vegan leather that was made out of mycelium - the thread-like stuff mushrooms and other fungi spread underground or throughout decomposing food.

Apparently that stuff looks and feels a whole lot like leather itself once processed for this purpose.

I think in this case though, it literally is plastic. Remember when the word 'pleather' was the in term for plastic "leather" ?

I have half a mind to start a framework and throw a conference all about using Rust to write the firmwares to intelligent extra-safe guns that refuse to fire without biometric and other extra super safety measures like distance from a registered bluetooth or wifi device, gps location, remote disable by police, etc.

Surely the Rust Foundation doesn't insist that guns be hackable and error prone by being written in java or c or anything but the most reliable language available?

(I don't own any guns, and if I did I would want it to be as dumb as a hammer not something controlled by software, so I'm neither gun-nut nor gun-control-nut, and this post is only serious about the point not the hypothetical used to illustrate the point.)
> If airports were just shacks next to a runway, they’d be much cheaper to run.

Flew Ryan air once to, I think it was some airport nearish to Venice, Italy. And it was pretty much a shack next to the runway. Walk down the steps off the plane into a small building, notice a conveyor belt. Walk through the next door, pick your luggage off the same conveyor belt. Walk through the next door, you're at the bus stop.
Pretty sweet. Is it small enough to run on an iPhone?

We're beyond what he imagined in technology and material possibilities, but not even close to other more human values.

The fact that we are both using this amazing technology of "light speed" information exchange to engage in these discussions fully knowing that most likely nothing will change on the other end, should tell you something about how far we've really come.
Where is that information from?
Thanks, that seems more realistic than the 15% I incorrectly came up with. 10% is what I had in my head as a very good but possible managed fund return -- and only 8% over the past 20 years instead of an unrealistic 70. This seems like a more realistic expectation.

So a conclusion might be: if you've been getting less than 8% (after fees) over ~10 years in any managed fund... you might want to reconsider your investments, seems like. But if you've been getting 8-10% or more, you're pretty good. Does that make sense?

I'll try to find the source, but previously read that the reason SUVs are so popular is that there was some law that let 'utility vehicles' be taxed or something differently, so the manufacturers could make much more profit off them. Thus, they created this demand for a "high seating position", and pushed it on the market...and now because other cars are so large, it's an escalating war. You don't want to be a small car among giants. Nasty feedback loop.
Sounds like such a beautiful time. I hope to see it again someday.
