He explains the details in his book, https://jonathanhaidt.com/anxious-generation/, but I think the gist of it is that his recommendations are reasonable and actionable. Below age 16 it seems quite possible, policy-wise and parent-wise, to keep kids off social media. But the older they get the more they would push back (being teenagers after all).

Saying something like "no social media until 25" would immediately have people discount Haidt's rational policy solutions as something not practically achievable, never mind probably not legal either.

> our hollowed out industrial base will eventually start losing us wars

These are not the 1940s, you cannot convert a car plant to produce jet fighters. So the industrial base writ large is irrelevant. If you are really afraid of losing a world war, you are advocating for expanding the MIC specifically. Problem as Eisenhower put it is that you would hang humanity from a cross of iron. MIC spending necessarily crowds out economic activity for civilian benefit.

Anyway, our MIC is quite large already.
This library aims to be the simplest and most efficient thing for what it does. And what it does is perfect for is managing communications with things that themselves may be bound by I/O.

> And again, that decision is the more complex one. Inverting that such that everything is immutable by default and mutable or a reference by choice is the more regular, consistent choice that removes a fairly big swath of common programming problems.

Maybe. But that's largely irrelevant since we are discussing the impact of a syntax choice regarding an operator on an explicitly-mutable container type, and specifically the behavior of it used when the container also contains a member of the same type.

And the alleged surprising thing is not the mutability of anything, but thar after the operation, all the members of the other container are the same instance of the inner mutable container type.

Python being designed ground up with immutability by default and explicitly opt-in mutability would not directly have any bearing on this issue, as long as it still had the capacity to express immutable lists and the capacity to apply something like the list-reptition operation to them. Except it would probably make all of the involved examples more verbose.

It serves as an important confirmation of the Standard Model of particle physics, which is a foundational theory underpinning many other important discoveries. But the particle itself probably has no current practical application.
The problem is labor productivity. Nuclear power plants require huge amounts of manpower for construction, suppliers and state supervisory authorities. Nuclear power is cheap where it can be built with very cheap labor (China until 2015), but quickly exceeds the budget when wages rise, as can currently be seen in China.

PV modules have long been manufactured in fully automated factories, and even 131m rotor blades are now produced with the help of industrial robots. Small units allow for a large number of innovative competitors, resulting in astonishing scaling effects.

In contrast, the nuclear industry suffers from monopoly-like structures which, coupled with regulatory requirements, extremely delay innovation. This makes it difficult or even impossible for the nuclear industry to regain the ground it has lost.
The cost estimates are for a 4 hour storage system - not enough for diurnal let alone seasonal storage. Furthermore, actually attempting to build storage systems at grid scale would cause battery prices to skyrocket. Even just 4 hours of electricity supply for the world works out to 10,000 GWh of batteries (global electricity demand is ~60 TWh per day). In 2023, 680 GWh of batteries were produced [1]. If you were to try and build 10,000 GWh worth of battery storage you'd buy up all the batteries on the market, causing the price to skyrocket. And even if you literally bought every single battery produced in 2023 you still wouldn't have 1/10th the batteries required to provision just four hours of storage (and not to mention you'd kill 100% of EV production in the process). The scale between the batteries produced and the amount of batteries required to deliver even small amounts of storage are vast.

And we're not even talking about electrifying other fossil fuels uses like heating, transportation, etc. That's going to make electricity demand even larger.

$500M fund for youth mental health in Canada
It has nothing to do with the US. I disagree entirely with your suspicion, it's closer to a conspiracy theory than reality.

With regards to the German and Japanese response to Fukushima. It happened to Japan, that explains their emotional response quite easily. Germany could afford to be skittish and shut down nuclear, although with a price to pay for less energy security in the short-term. Not enough of the German economy was powered by nuclear for it to be a terminal threat to their economy.

France can't afford to consider shutting down 70% of their energy generation any time soon. There's a lot less room for emotional debate there. Sure some people can get upset about it, doesn't matter, they're not closing down their economy. The French are not stupid, they're often practical when it's time to be practical; they're fully aware their economy rides on nuclear.
Sounds like something the FTC should investigate.
There’s no reason to throw away authority. Should something be not questioned because it was published in Nature? No, of course not. But should it be given the benefit of doubt? For sure. It’s extremely difficult to publish in nature, with a super rigorous process behind it. Peoples careers are made by publishing in such a journal, and extremely few are so lucky.

Not all journals or researchers are equal. Reputation is an important filter. In the very long run truth will emerge. In the short term, however, it’s one of our best signals.

Perhaps independent bookshop-publishers like City Lights might want to think about finding others to go about adopting an existing printer or forming a social venture/semi non-profit POD and low-volume printer because it seems (unless I'm mistaken) they're reliant on just a few corporations like Ingram Industries to produce their wares. It's more difficult to replace lost niche capabilities than prevent the loss of a functional business that needs retooling, (re)investment, and/or more customers.

> Can.. CAN???

Yes.

> Who pays to clean all this up? Who is going to foot the bill for the hole?

The people who use the electricity that is generated.

Just like they'll pay for solar panel recycling (if such a thing exists) and for burying wind turbine blades (which are not, AFAIK, recyclable) that were also used in creating electricity for the grid, as well as for dealing with the end-of-life batteries that are used for energy storage when it comes to renewables.

Which is why I'm also pro-carbon pricing: the people polluting need to cost-in externalities. (Which, if you have wind and solar you'll also be paying, since backup gas/coal/oil plants are needed for windless nights.)

> SEE: Every project in the world that was going to do it, France, USA, USSR, Japan, Canada... and one working hole in Finland that will fill up in half the expected time.

In the long run it might be more fruitful to build a FOSS true clone of the Mac desktop for Linux and the BSDs. It’s going to take a massive amount of work to produce something even as smooth as OS X 10.4, 10.6, or 10.9, though.

It’s something I’ve done a little bit of research into, and on top of the usual challenges posed by developing a DE you’d also be fighting the momentum of the two dominant desktop paradigms open *nix software is built for, which is Win9x-type (KDE, Cinnamon, LXDE, and kinda XFCE) or iOS-type (GNOME, Pantheon).

Perhaps the hurdle with the most visible impact is the global menubar, which is currently kind of doable with Qt-based apps, but is broken in GTK apps (plugin is unmaintained) and totally nonfunctional in Wayland. I think that perhaps the best approach to solving this is to build a proof of concept generalized approach for applications to expose their menubars to the desktop environment with and submit it as an XDG standard that hopefully the big guys eventually adopt.

> modern Linux with systemd, Wayland, dbus, and other technologies have deviated greatly from POSIX and other classical Unix technologies

Systemd is inspired by/imitating launchd; macOS did it first, to much less fanfare, and therefore much less awareness.

The evolution of Cocoa alongside GCD, XPC, and launchd would probably mean a lot of difficulty in backporting. Things shifting between kernel and userspace and launchd services with restrictive permissions won't be kind to a lot of software of reasonable complexity.

It is common for people to measure the value of a lot of things that aren't literally money in dollars. e.g. equity, risk, debt, etc. In a lot of these cases I think it is completely normal for a reader to understand that the value is not actualized.

> Yet the only clear and honest way to communicate human suffering is in human terms, not in dollars and cents

But do we have any better economic units to measure it other than dollars and cents? I don't think we do. So in the context of an economic discussion, it's the best that can be done.

> against seatbelts

I've been wondering about this kind of thing recently.

I think people struggle all their lives with independence, and it is wonderful when you get the feeling of being "sovereign". Being your own man (or woman), confident in who you are and what you can do.

And then we run into forces bigger than us, and some people continue to defend their sovereignty. They want their freedom and they don't want to be told what to do.

(For me, I hate things like companies that want to LOG IN to my bank account to verify my income/etc and will never give up that fight.

for someone else it might be seatbelts.

I wasn't really aware of the seatbelt fight, but I remember helmet laws. My position was that I would wear a helmet, but I wouldn't want to force someone else to wear one.

... on the other hand, I think it is ok to make kids wear helmets.
400m is definitely big enough to show up on that chart but again it’s a misleading number. Out of ~200 commercial, experimental or prototype reactors permanently shutdown ~17 reactors have actually been fully decommissioned in the lifetime of the nuclear industry. And the costs haven’t been 400 million each.

Nuclear regulators let operators create a fund to eventually pay for cleanup after letting a site sit for decades to let shorter lived isotopes decay. The industry has convinced regulators to essentially let them off bathe hook assuming significant positive returns will eventually supply ~1-1.5 billion for cleanup efforts, with the government covering any gaps.
