Re costs: https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/economic-aspec...

Yes, nuclear power has gotten more expensive with time but even still, today, in absolute terms, $/khw is competitive.

> Grid-level system costs for intermittent renewables are large ($8-$50/MWh) but depend on country, context and technology (onshore wind < offshore wind < solar PV). Nuclear system costs are $1-3/MWh.

Or https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=45436 which shows that nuclear remains cheaper than wind and waaay cheaper than solar in California. And wind/solar prices AFAIK don’t factor in the additional cost of storage since we don’t pair wind/solar generation capacity with matching storage requirements.

And in terms of why it’s gotten more expensive, part of that is naturally inflation. The other part is that nuclear keeps getting more regulations and we disinvest from building more. It’s the opposite of the Wright effect - when you build less of something and disinvest it gets more expensive to make. Some of the regulations are legit costs (e.g. making sure the plants remain safe and don’t melt down) but you’d be surprised at how much of it is BS driven by FUD (a not insignificant portion powered by FUD from fossil fuel companies who benefit from nuclear taking as long as possible).

It’s also amusing to me the overlap between “renewables need more investment to replace grid fossil fuels” and “fusion instead of fission” camps. Like yes, fusion is exciting and I hope we get there some day. And we criminally underfund investment into it at government scale in the same way as we do with fission. But fusion’s road is even harder and longer out. Like we still don’t know how to generate more energy than we consume. It’s strictly in the pure research phase and is many many decades away from starting production and will take an even longer time to build out large amounts of capacity.
Probably a technical limitation. The 7-speed is able to handle more torque than the GT's 6-speed. Probably also the reason for the Sport Classic getting less power and significantly less torque than a regular 911 turbo.

I love how the 6-speed feels compared to the 7-speed, but anyone chasing after raw tactility would probably go for a GT4/GT3 anyway. The Sport Classic seems to be targeting the nostalgia factor of the 911 turbos of old.

My two are such a crucial part of the life experience.

There are plenty of reasons to eschew judgement of the childless.

But not at least participating in some community involving children, to pass on one's life lessons seems...suboptimal.

Yes.[1][2]

You're working hard to make the Israeli wins illegitimate in order to justify atrocities against Israeli citizens and demands for a do over where genocide is perpetrated against the citizens of Israel.

I'm not down with atrocities or genocide. And then one can ask who's war is this. And the answer is always it's the Middle Eastern Arab countries, the PLO and Hamas's war not the Israeli's.

So your arguments don't sway me.
> So it really depends on how you define "absurdly fast".

And very clearly we've been talking about 1/4 mile time for this entire discussion.

Tesla showed a Cybertruck beating a 911 in the 1/4 while pulling a 911.

They didn't show it going around a track, they didn't show it outbraking a 911, they didn't show it on a hillclimb.

They very, very clearly defined exactly the context for "absurdly fast", and demonstrated it quite well.
That was mostly what I had in mind. There's plenty of diseases where you're cured in the sense that your body can passively take care of it from here, but there's a chance it flares up again. I was unclear if most cancers were a "you got rid of it, but a different part of your kidney developed a cancer now" as compared to "that cancer you had before is back"
I have a handful of Nimble packages. Lovely language, though I haven't done much with it recently. I wish it were easier to sell people on style agnostic syntax.
>They would have gone to another job instead

So why didn't they go to those other jobs instead? You're making it sound like they got roped into slavery against their will.
This represents a big misunderstanding of the nature of ethics, as opposed to deontology or law.

That being said, I also wish society was better at punishing ethical lapses.
> The huge 'box' his demanded his team put together, to rescue people from a cave with passages so narrow diver could not wear tanks on their backs? To me that demonstrates he has no ability to analyze a problem at high level and correctly apply the engineering resources available to him.

The solution they came up with for those kids was extremely risky, involving drugging them and hoping they didn't drown in their face masks. It had never been done before in cave rescue history, and no-one really knew if it would actually work.

Cave passages can be widened. It's actually quite common for cave rescues to involve widening passages. It's also relatively common for cavers to do that in general as part of ordinary exploration - I personally have helped widen an impassibly narrow passage with explosives myself. And yes, this is done underwater too.

If the drugging solution had resulted in a kid drowning, there is a very good chance that the submarine solution would have been used.

> Dishy, which had basic design flaws, such as a permanently attached power/data cable that if damaged meant you had to purchase an entire new unit

That sounds like a typical engineering/marketing decision: rather than coming up with a tricky waterproof connector, just seal it permanently and sell the user a new one if they break it. Starlink as a whole has been very successful.

> SpaceX's repeated failures, which they spin as "it's okay, we meant to fuck up, we got data!", including the disaster where his insistence on launching on 4/20 resulted in substantial vehicle damage (5-8 rockets failed), heavy damage to the facility, a 380 acre wide debris field (so severe you could see debris landing in the ocean from an aerial shot well outside the launch danger zone), a forest fire, and heavy damage to a car (parked within the "hazard area.")

SpaceX is probably the most successful aerospace company in history., and they have some of the most reliable orbital rockets in history. Obviously their focus on meeting schedules and iterating is working for them. They just launched Starship again with even more success, and will probably do so yet again in a few more months. I really don't think SpaceX themselves care about occasionally spreading some debris around, setting some trees on fire, and damaging a car in the designated hazard area. There's lots of rocket engineers that have managed to destroy their own cars because their rockets failed and debris hit the employee parking lot.
OP's question was whether they should focus on a specific stack to get jobs and they listed all the popular ones. The answer to that is still what I said. That has nothing to do with a company/team preferring to hire someone who knows their tech stack. apples and oranges. Company A uses React/Python etc. Sure, they would prefer hiring someone with experience in that. But then there is Company B that uses PHP/Laravel, Company C that uses .NET and so on and so forth. Plenty of fishes.

I don’t know if by that you mean that this is a factor that influences you, but if so, please try not to ascribe so much meaning to what people say. Sometimes it’s just chit chat. I’d be extremely surprised (and horrified) if even a tiny percentage of parents actually regret having kids, let alone 50%. I mean of course if that makes your decision easier go ahead, but my bet is that it’s simply not true.

What is a "token price"?

... What even is a "token"?

I want to buy compute to execute XYZ functions at Tk TPS - how do I predict the monthly operating cost? (in dollars, obviously)
Sounds cool, my question is: why ruin it with a token? It just makes your project seems unnecessarily scammy. There have been so many projects with big promises that ultimately just ended up being a scam this way.
You say that HPE trusts your project.
Digging a bit:

HP Enterprise
Hewlett Packard Enterprise
HPE wants to help ThreeFold to offer hardware and IT services to the community.

Are you building a centralized datacenter with HPE or are you selling
HPE to the community?
That's correct.

The muddled subtext (sorry about that) is that managers tend to mangle these things that are meant to be good in order to inflict yet more psychological damage.

Deontology is something related but different.
This is all very commendable, skimming through it I couldn't find one point with which to disagree. But ... where do I get this sense of naïveté?

I tried to work that out but it became too complex, and overshadowed the positivenes of bringing ethics to the forefront, where it seldom is.

Suffice to say that ethical principles in the chaos of reality where wolf eats wolf are extremely difficult to uphold. Sometimes they even become a veil over an ugly underbelly. Not always, but it happens sufficiently often for warning bells to go off when someone cites their lofty ethics.

No, the big secret is that much of the money would have been spent anyway.

Sending a 20 year old artillery shell to Ukraine and replacing it with a new built artillery shell is money that would have been spent anyway.

The money to build any F-16 sent to Ukraine is money that has already been spent. Sending it to Ukraine removes maintenance spending for that F-16 off the books. And we would eventually spend money to replace that F-16.

Not all Ukraine aid money would have been spent anyway, but a large portion of it would have.
One of the biggest things I hate about crypto is how it sucked all the air out of “decentralization.” Now people hear that and think “oh another scam coin.”

“Local first” and “federated” are perhaps more accurate anyway.

That first one is probably the most common, you'll see .mm files for Apple-specific platform code in many big cross-platform C++ projects.
At least the SQL-like syntax is more consistent. It might be easier to figure out how to make any given query starting from the SQL “schema”.

Of course I'm not. It's great for them. But it still means there's another job left unfilled. If they're making weapons, something else is not getting made/done. That's all I'm saying. Hope it's clear now.

Same with the Azure Portal, I can regularly DoS microsoft by opening the portal from a bookmark in Edge, or by switching Azure tenants (via the official button, which has also seen three different locations in the past year). It signs in, loads the intended page, then redirects to the home page, which performs the sign-in again, then redirects to the Azure portal welcome screen, which redirects to the home page, which performs the sign-in again -- at which points Microsoft usually "solves" the redirect loop by informing me that I've tried to login too many times and I should try again in five minutes.

With the additional bonus that even after things miraculously stabilize, I'm not on the page I wanted to go but on the welcome screen. Pasting the intended link again in the browser bar seems to have a 10% chance of triggering the redirect loop again. It's so comically bad, I'm glad my employer is paying me for my time and not my productivity.

This looks like a cloud run by randos, not decentralization which would mean local apps that talk to each other.

I don’t want a cloud run by randos. If I’m gonna run in a cloud I want to know who runs it and see their ToS and privacy policy etc.

If this took off the first thing you’d see happen is people running infrastructure to steal data from people who host on it.
interesting. The gist seems to rely on the word literally meaning rope, in a manner unrelated to actual camels.

but the phrasing I'd been given to understand was that coarse camel hair was a common fibre in use for making rope; indeed camel fibre is mentioned elsewhere as used for other items as well, like tents and clothing. So the idea of camel referring to rope would then be a reference to the coarse camel thread, as opposed to fine silk threads typically passed through needleheads.

i dunno, in my mind this is a more persuasive visual than camel as animal. I take the preexistence of the elephant quote, but that seems to put it in the context of a dream, which makes it a bit more trippy in nature, in a manner that is less likely to have been the desired effect in the camel quote.
vidir from moreutils (https://manpages.debian.org/bookworm/moreutils/vidir.1.en.ht...) and qmv from renameutils (https://manpages.debian.org/bookworm/renameutils/qmv.1). They let you (mass-)rename files using your editor when your editor is not Emacs. If you happen to use OpenBSD, note that moreutils has an OpenBSD port but renameutils doesn't and does not build on OpenBSD.
And they have inherited nothing
Thank you! I 100% agree. We are exploring other options (and with the current crypto scene, it's more pressing e.g direct support of fiat, some of business built on top of the current infrastructure uses fiat e.g https://www.zonaris.io/

And main thing that separates us from all of these crypto projects, is we actually delivered the infrastructure, reproducible, that works :)

It will be worse next time. Read "Project 2025", the conservative master plan from the Heritage Foundation.[2] Last time around, Trump took office with no plan. This time, there's a plan. 900 pages. Important enough to read. Wikipedia has a summary.[3]

You have to laugh at some of these descriptions and qualifications. Almost like they''re being verbose to seem more complicated.

For the Staff Software Engineer, Data Pipelines. There's the first two requirements:

* 8+ years of experience

* Experience building production-hardened data pipelines, with consideration for performance, scalability, reliability, and repeatability

Then, a few bullet points down, there's the head-scratching requirement:

* Knowledge of database fundamentals like indexing and SQL queries

Honestly, I would hire the expert data engineer that doesn't know a lick of SQL. Whatever they've done in the past seems to be working, so why exclude them?
perl is not a perfect language. nobody should be claiming that.

They way function args are define is just pure passive aggression (oh so you _want_ people to name args properly eh? go on, you validate the arg name. Go on, fiddle with the hash like that). However we should be able to look at any language and pull out its interesting/useful features.

I loved perl's can do attitude. You wanna do that to an array? sure. it'd going to end bad, but here you go kid, have at it.

Is that good for everyone? no.

does it mean that you need to be hilariously disciplined to make readable code? very yes.

Can one make readable and maintainable code in perl? hell yes. I've worked on some wonderfully maintainable perl code.

I've also worked on a lot of shite. But then the same goes for python. I transmute research code into production, and let me tell you, there are some "perls" of programmers right there.
And that 10 years excludes possible decades of planning, creating and approving a proposal.

> But it still means there's another job left unfilled.

Then it's their fault for being less competitive employers than those other military jobs. Welcome to the free market.

You are not owed employees just because you have a job opening, you need to compete for them. If you're an unattractive employer, tough shit mate. Git gud.
It's strange reading these comments. So many folks have discounted the results of the study by suggesting that of course childree folks will say they have no regrets about their decision because they don't want to admit how they really feel. First, this a very cynical take on people. Second, it is really a criticism of all studies based on reported life satisfaction, not this particular study. Third, and most importantly: the same objection applies even more strongly to the parents who were asked how they felt about their decision. If you think that the non-parents lied, then you should also be open to the possibility that the parents lied as well. There is a strong stigma around parents saying that they regret having kids (much stronger than any stigma around being child-free IMO) so actually I would find it much more plausible that the parents disproportionately lied.
What a fascinating starting point:

I could not disagree more.

We are having our cake (pumping cash into our defense industry) and eating it to (replenishing aging arsenals, advertising to prospective arm buyers, get invaluable real-world data on how our weapons work, decimating the military of a chief geopolitical rival).

There is no downside here form the US perspective. Every dollar spent is returned in ways that no other expenditure could replicate.
You are doing the same thing I think, projecting past nuclear costs into the future, and assuming past cost reductions for solar and wind.

In any case, you are not correct about the timelines for renewable and storage. The average time to get an approved grid interconnect is 4 years. And all these power projects can take 5-8 years to deliver.

If you believe that speech is a survival skill (which I would think most people believe) then anything that increases its prevalence or effectiveness would be evolutionarily selected for, right? We’re talking a 300-500+ Ky period, probably almost 2X that (depending upon the speech capabilities of our hominid ancestors), so plenty of time for evolutionary pressure to apply.
You are completely missing the point here.
Ah I see, I thought the parent poster meant malice on the part of Mozilla, got confused by bouncing between comment threads. I could see malice, since it is Microsoft, but what's the "why" of it? I don't really see any motivation that M$ would have to block Mozilla, all it's going to do is piss off users. It's not like people are gonna get fed up and switch to Edge, they'll get fed up and switch to Chrome. If anything, M$ has a great incentive to improve Firefox adoption. The market that uses FF is the same market that is never going to choose Edge. FF and Edge both have a much better position if they can damage Chrome's market share.
This... is true.

Indeed, crypto made the world a harder place for projects with good intention. We aim to build a truly decentralized, peer to peer cloud infrastructure that you can connect to or even replicate on your own terms, and yet familiar to developers and system admins by providing the tools they love for provisioning and managing their workloads.

The whole system is 100% opensource, you can run it on your own terms (we would be happy if other people based on our work and expanded further)
