> Again, the argument that 'other things are bad or worse, so this bad thing is ok' is bad one.

There is no consensus for "Bitcoin is bad use of energy" as you're implying.

Energy/electricity use isn't inherently bad. All the different uses of energy cannot be classified in a binary way as either good or bad. But they can be sorted along a spectrum according to their usefulness. Their subjective usefulness to individual people which can then be summed up to some total.

Energy is limited so people/states/businesses prioritize some uses of energy over others in order to optimize their goals. When other people's energy use appears wasteful to you, you're free to point it out and even try to convince them, you might even try to sue them because their use case expels toxic chemicals that you'd rather not inhale. But just calling their use case bad "because it uses energy" sure won't convince them. Because practically everything humans do consumes energy.

At what exact percentage of total energy use the acceptable consumption of Bitcoin lies, no single person can/should decide. As with all purposes it should and will be decided by people collectively (through politics, consumption decisions, cultural discourse, ..) be it 1 % (which I'd say is ok, were Bitcoin to continue functioning for the next 100 years) or 5 % (which I'd personally deem too high for Bitcoin and thus wasteful).
Given that sound and light can cause "abnormal brain activity" that can cause seizures - is it possible that there is also an erratic thought you can think that can cause seizures?
It certainly wouldn't (though I don't experience the same issue, so not sure what to say to the video). Presumably your heavier apps would be installed to the Dev Drive.
I'd be running the moment I read this paragraph:

>2. A portion of the operation will be conducted inside an experimental submersible vessel. The experimental submersible vessel has not been approved or certified by any regulatory body and may be constructed of materials that have not been widely used in human occupied submersibles.

If you don't, you knew and accepted the risk.
Are you talking about life safety or some other kind of safety? “Safety” is a word having many different senses. Your mentioning of promotions and competing ideas makes it seem to me you are using safety in a much broader sense than the sense of safety one would have in mind when talking about submarines occupied by humans.
There has to be some amount of competency becoming a founder, CEO and a millionaire, with the various ventures he was involved.
Holy Shitballs. Cracking noises! Things which you never want to hear on a submersible!

(insert "this is fine" meme)
Then the issue is with the chemical engineers, who haven't learned the waste, counterproductiveness and foolishess of dismissing other ideas, viewpoints and people. It's a vicious cycle - it greatly limits their ability to learn what they don't already believe, or deal with challenges to their ideas. The only solution is to give no validity to such dismissals.

I was taught that, in part, by a fed-up engineering professor.
Funny, "aura" is the exact term I've heard other people use to describe the same phenomenon. Likewise for the precursor feeling before migraines.

Glad the seizures eased up in adulthood (knock on wood). A former coworker of mine was in a similar boat—childhood epilepsy, responded well to meds as a teen, totally fine as an adult. It's borderline miraculous how you can just... grow out of it, sometimes. Brains are strange!

Add this to the growing list of poor decisions. I feel like grade school kids are running Reddit at this point. Only here, I think my youngest kid would have made a fairer and more logical decision.

Clearly Reddit is backed into a corner / death spiral. What else explains the apparent desperation-fueled drama of late.
Today there are lots of different metals that can be 3D printed. Some have very high capability. Are there any that compete with custom forged parts used in Raptor? I don't know, I don't think people outside of industry really have this information.

We know that SpaceX has its own material science team developing its own alloys specifically for their use case. This material doesn't seem to be designed for 3D printing (as far as we know).

What if SpaceX had instead invested that money in superior material for 3D printing instead?

Maybe somebody who is doing their PhD on material science in rocketry can comment.

I would also consider that engine likely has other places that would be more likely to put a limiting factor on durability so maybe it doesn't matter so much.
Do those waivers also mention the experimental vessel, explicitly disclaim that any regulations or certifications were followed, and that the construction materials are untested for the intended use?

Surely that should be "non-explosive".

Otherwise rain-proof and fire-proof could have interesting overloaded definitions...

The truly scandalous thing here is this:

> Depth Validating

> As an interim step in the path to classification, we are working with a premier classing agency to validate Titan’s dive test plan. A licensed marine surveyor will witness a successful dive to 4000 meters, inspect the vessel before and after the dive, and provide a Statement of Fact attesting to the completion of the dive test plan.

They clearly did not do this. Simply lowering the thing to the ocean bottom uncrewed would have found this problem. It would not have prevented them from experimenting with crazy designs. It would not have significantly impacted their ability to iterate and move fast. It wouldn't have cost that much to do in the grand scheme of things. I would argue that doing de-risked testing at depth would have expanded their ability to be more radical in their design and overall could have sped up their design iteration. Look at how SpaceX does this, they move fast and break things but make sure that the risk is levered to the reward. The first Falcon rockets did not have commercial payloads at all, nor did the first falcon heavy, Falcon did not fly humans until it was a well-proven rocket. Starship is "failing" constantly but they are doing it in a way which means the impact is minimal and they are learning lots each time.

The really sad part of this is that this probably sets back any innovation in submarine exploration decades. Nobody is going to experiment with carbon composite subs, nobody is going to set out to build a sub with the goal of reducing the per-trip cost by 90% or 99%.

Things, overall, could easily have been so different. Very sad.
If it wasn't a failure - why are other major downtowns succeeding with their revivals while SF is not?
One could argue that anything that ever happens is natural, since humans are part of nature.
Hobby activity seems to follow what had been high-end industrial tech a few decades before. In this case fancy lathing; in the 20th century ham radio and model railroads (not to mention model rocketry); in the 21st century the "home lab".

Are there other examples?
Because nobody will make the effort afterwards to make good standards. Fair payment is in most countries quiet unfair in fact.
For me it's the opposite. I find Diet Coke delicious, but classic coke i find unbearably sweet and syrupy, and it makes me feel awful and gross afterward.
Lol yes. Ethics judgements aren't exactly made by one's self on one's self (unless you really do bad and you live your life in regret). But are generally made by your peers and those around you. Your ignorance plays no bearing on their judgement of your actions being ethical or not. You can be the dumbest deadshit in the world and they can still judge your actions as unethical. So yes you can certainly be unethical, even if your too dumb to understand why.
That oft-cited statistic about divorce is misleading. Most marriages end in divorce, but most people who get married don't get divorced. It's that if you get divorced once, you're more likely to get divorced again; serial-divorcees produce a disproportionate number of marriages.

The disaster of the last century is not securing a renewable energy future while squandering the convenient non-renewable energy of fossil fuels on short-term interests.

If you want to shake your fists about fossil fuel emissions this is by far not the appropriate direction to aim them IMO.
Pretty hard to reproduce the exact same design coming out of a 3D printer with other methods. Unless you put real effort into making sure the part is build-able with other methods you could run into real problems.
Yeah, it’s gets a bit murky to stick with power or energy even though Wh isn’t SI. But it’s usually pretty important to keep the time component when it comes to describing an energy storage system.

Yes - or Fourier series or other decomposition into a sum of orthogonal basis functions.
It is likely informational warfare, ie there was no strike but Wagner wants to coup. Bellingcat fact checked supposed video of the strike and it is fishy. But right now who knows really.

In any case his threat is real, military is scrambling and equipment is rolling in cities from Moscow to Rostov.

Parts of Russian military reportedly refuse to go against Wagner so things are looking very bad for the country.
What? I know Apple makes some really undiscoverable features but this article is a really poor example of them.

>“The App Library was introduced with iOS 14, but how many “non-power” users know about it?”

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t know about the App Library. Swiping from the home screen is hardly undiscoverable.

>”The [long press on the screen] gesture is unintuitive”

Okay, maybe the author has never used iOS before? Long pressing to perform additional actions is used ubiquitously across the system and has been since the iPhone OS 1.

And finally, who cares? Less than 0.1% of users use the accessibility features, but those who do are glad they’re there.
I’m sure I remember reading a short story about a kind of mind virus.
This is such a clear fallacy right from the get go. "This thing doesn't completely solve the problem, therefore, we will not do it."

So many people fall for this or talk in such terms like it's perfectly reasonable and it always baffles me. You see it in political discussion a lot.
I am trying to figure when solar panels will have a lower LCOE than just a steam turbine alone. At that point even absolutely free fusion would have a hard time competing with solar for half the day.
> The Ukraine invasion would have been much easier if trump had been relelected, finished pulling out of nato and kept the more isolationist policy that was in effect during trump.

It wouldn't have occured because NATO and the US wouldn't have been escalating it the way they did post and pre Trump.

I know this is not the right narrative (TM) but for anyone who remembers wars are not about good Vs evil but geopolitics, they'll realize the interests at play.

But hey, Iraq has WMDs and Vietnam... Er... Something.
>I'd hope he thought it had less than a 1% failure rate.

When failure means instant death that would be a pretty awful failure rate for a commercial product meant to take paying customers from the general public. And even if meant to take well informed researchers and engineers.

If failure meant "Oops, the ballast dropped prematurely, looks like we're going to have to cut this dive short", that's one thing, but when it means "You're going to be crushed by immense pressure in a millisecond", that's quite another.
I agree with the entirety with what you've said. Take home or not, most are reluctant to give specific feedback in general because they don't want to argue about their feedback to the interviewee and there is a potential for legal exposure if the interviewee thinks the feedback was unfair relative to some other group and wants to take action on that.
Hey! It looks like you are trying to shoehorn <recent story> into your culture war narrative! Don't you think this is tedious yet?

> We are already using the most economically viable option.

Arguably we always are doing that, by definition. Investment is spending money on current non-optimal returns in exchange for much greater returns later.

If an investment had guaranteed success; if it had no flaws, then it would already have been made. There is nothing flawless in this world - not you or me, not Facebook or Messi, not oil or iron or renewables or nuclear.

Apparently they were put up to it by a bunch of Dutch engineers. To be fair the engineering is fabulous given how old it is, provided you don't screw with rivers and allow the drainage ditches to silt up. All the farms and older buildings are on mounds.

There are loads of modern estates built on the flood plains - it is madness. I live in Yeovil, on the side of a hill, 40' above the brook at the bottom edge of our garden. Just north is Yeovil Marsh (mostly drained but the name is a clue), yes of course people build houses in a fucking marsh! The word Yeovil was originally Gifle (C7) which means bend in a river in old English. There are of course houses rather close to the river Yeo that get very damp with monotonous regularity.

Cumbernauld (guess!) looked charming back in 1986, when we drove past. It still looked lovely about four years ago, the concrete had aged beautifully.

I studied Civ Eng at Plymouth Poly back in '89 and our first field trip was to Roadford Reservoir with its smart new dam - built for something like 1 in 1000 year events. Sadly 1 in 1000 year events are more common these days due to global warming. Luckily Dartmoor is pretty stable but really big dams could be severely tested in the coming decades. Ironically one of our remedies - the EV is much heavier than the gas guzzler. That means that multi story CPs could become overloaded. However pre-stressed conc. members are bloody strong and shouldn't fail by exploding, so I shouldn't lose too much sleep!

Geology, hydrology and meteorology can be jolly unforgiving.
I have this vague idea that a person’s beliefs are not truly known until they use them as the basis to bet something of value. This guy bet his own life, so I agree with you. He believed what he was saying.
align layers of fibers in different directions and you can get strength in different directions. But it is tricky! The glue holding the metal end caps to the carbon tube is also a possible failure point. Imagine a metal ring slid over a carbon tube held on with glue. If pressure deforms the metal differently than the carbon, you get a gap at the interface and BOOM

or if sea water degrades the glue, or if the carbon fiber degrades after each trip and eventually isn't strong enough any more, etc.

A typo laden with prophecy.
As far as I'm aware, and please correct me if I'm wrong, they had never dove to this depth before.

So, sure, it was launched before and recovered, but it never experienced the same conditions which caused the failure.
Why would something with no evidence behind it be an incredible mental toolkit?

There indeed you would have compile time error

"It failed after 25 dives" is not a 4% failure rate if the failure was caused by deterioration over time (as it likely was here). It's a 100% failure rate over the full life of any given Titan sub. They'll all implode, given enough trips.

Moreover, both 1% and 4% are horrible failure rates for anything meant to carry passengers. Example: the risk of dying in a commercial plane crash is 1 in 11 million [1]. The risk of dying while skydiving is less than 1 in 300,000 per jump.

This guy was taking extremely unreasonable risks.

I'm somewhat of a fanatic on popcorn style... Take with a grain of salt.

> Take one large pot (the kind that holds like 10qts).

Ideally a dutch oven or similar heavy bottom that distributes heat well. This makes the process nearly foolproof on any heat source.

> Add a bit of oil, basically just enough to swirl and have everything covered in an oil sheen, not enough to have them submerged.

If you are looking for "movie theatre" popcorn the "secret" is using (extra virgin) coconut oil along with flavacol dissolved in the heated oil with the kernels popped in it. I use 2-3tbps of coconut oil and 2tsp of flavacol for 3/4 cup worth of kernels.

Flavacol should not be used as a topping imo, but as part of the popping substrate.

> Cover

This is tricky. Covering traps moisture released during popping, and moisture results in soggy (or at least not crisp!) popcorn. You do need some sort of cover though for obvious reasons.

I found a pot+metal strainer combo that fits perfectly together, where the strainer has about as many holes in it as you could get away with without creating oil splash mess. This lets as much steam as possible out immediately upon popping with as little kernel contact as possible. A more easy to come by lid is using a mesh oil cover meant for deep frying.

The commercial poppers accomplish this by having a very small popping pan, which kernels get "pushed out" of fairly quickly after they pop into a well vented holding tub.

> Toss 1/8 cup butter in the hot pot, melt the butter with residual heat.

Disagree on butter on popcorn, but it's a personal preference. I find butter makes popcorn soggy due to water content - and the flavacol+coconut oil is typically what most US theatre chains use vs. real butter, so it's what I "expect" the flavor to be. That said, I sometimes do melt up some butter to switch things up.

> Salt(I prefer a salt grinder)

I prefer pre-made popcorn salt in a wide metal popcorn salt shaker to really get a nice even spread.

> transfer back to the mixing bowl.

One trick: If you are making a lot of popcorn "to go" (e.g. for a party later) the best way I've found to keep it fresh is inside doubled-up paper grocery shopping bags. This helps soak up residual moisture, and the difference is noticeable after a few hours.
There are many things to ask to my manager (non-meeting days, remove non mandatory people from invites, open team discussion on the topic). I guess this is more of a culture thing at work where everyone is "expected" to show up.

A point raised by James Cameron (and others) was the titanium bands mated to the carbon fiber hull. Apparently in the material science community, that's a huge no-no, and a well known one to boot. Galvanic corrosion or something like that...

Once they showed up in court, one of them was unable to explain how to interpret a very basic "you should know this to practice law" case citation ("F.3d"[1]). Not only did they not "apply independent professional analysis" it seems they were woefully unprepared to even produce such a thing.

If that is the case, I disagree with the implicit premise. Many of the people on that list were just trying to something that hadn't been done before. That should be celebrated.

Meanwhile the OceanGate fiasko was a low budget, entirely preventable, incompetent way of touristifying something that had been done before.

So frustrating that pro-installed solar at the consumer level around here does not seem to have dropped. If anything it's gone way up.
coal is a very specific facet of the discussion where the US has targetted coal reductions, and at the same time increasing other fossil fuel based sources. Meanwhile china uses very little oil and gas for electricity production.

For an example of why focusing on one segment does not give you a full picture, china is the world leader in solar, hydro, and wind energy production.

they also use less fossil fuel energy per capita than the united states.

for a more accurate comparison of how clean their power is compared to the united states, i would say a better metric would be that they are 26% renewable while the US is 17% renewable.
