Just because it's energy dense after enrichment, doesn't mean it has high concentrations within mined ore. Most mines operate with only a fraction of a percentage of the ore being uranium, and only a fraction of a percentage of th

Hanford is a great example of what happens when you don't manage or plan for nuclear waste properly. Also x-ray technicians stand behind a shield, because x-rays are still dangerous.

Actually some of the hazardous waste at Hanford is from the PUREX "recycling" process to extract Plutonium for weapons research. A lot of people just don't want to admit that nuclear is very dirty, and while we're potent

Scientific studies show its pollution reaches the North Sea. Simple current maps show current flows through the channel into the North Sea. However, thank you for highlighting it also pollutes the Irish Sea, channel and Atlantic.

Sorry, it flows from the channel into the North Sea.

La Hague dumps radioactive waste liquids into the North Sea. Reactors currently cannot run 100% on MOX. Separation of Plutonium in the recycling process has proliferation concerns. Other countries have found building similar recycling plant

You want the US Government to legislate a law that mandates Twitter and Facebook cannot deactivate the accounts of foreign leaders/government officials?

Social media already reminds me of an era where the town idiot's voice is amplified louder than the Darwins' or the Galileos'.

No, nothing has really changed. It's an opinion article that's basically saying since lab accidents happened elsewhere, a lab accident could have happened in Wuhan. No smoking gun here.

This is counter to GPs initial point, where there is a specific claim of direct profit generation. The advice is now just getting watered down into vague ballpark estimates and tossing in a revenue number onto your resume. The advice might

This seems to be completely counter to your initial post tying weekly/daily work directly to profit to determine what is worth your effort and what to put on your resume. You even give SQL queries as an example, so I don't see how
282.
by Klinky 6y ago
This goes back to the tying of a SQL query directly to profits. That would be an interesting story if it were true, but such a story is probably an extreme rarity. We're talking about calculating the impact of your weekly or daily work

You are talking about the project/product itself. Does your company sit down each quarter and crunch who specifically was responsible for the revenue and profits that quarter, down to the employee or lines of code? Doubtful.
284.
by Klinky 6y ago
Down to the lines of code written? Your product may get millions in revenue, but you wrote a single module out of hundreds, how much % do you take credit for? Also it sounds like a toxic culture if you have to constantly try to tie your day

Your original example is very specific, but your follow up clarifies that the reality is that it is vague guesswork. I think you could claim contribution, but very hard to define that line x of code written last Friday resulted directly in

How do you even know the actual impact you had on revenue/profits? Engineering is often many layers removed from customer interactions, sales and accounting. Some companies have complex and opaque revenue channels. Frankly I take any c

The human body is good at being flexible and adapting to a wide variety of environments. You see it in a lot of areas of life, rigid efficiencies and flexible inefficiencies. Being more flexible has its costs and benefits. Humans are very m

That sounds like every early stage crypto community. Once there is real USD at stake, the fangs come out.

The assumption you're making is that they have mature offerings because they are big names. Facebook, Google, Amazon and Microsoft have excellent full-featured offerings in every sector they've ever dabbled in? They've never

Buying a successful competitor is not "outdoing" the competitor, it's almost admitting defeat. While you could say there are other offerings, are they as mature? A big shark swimming in a sea of minnows is not a balanced&#x2F

5G works on a variety of frequencies. The limits quoted are mmWave frequencies, which are very high 25 - 52GHz, and meant for short-range density. The frequencies in this article are in the 3GHz range.

If you're comparing their rocket to Falcon 9 1.0 from 7 - 10 years ago, that is concerning, especially when they were founded 2~ years earlier.

Positive and negative would be considered in the calculation. Saving time may not be as big an issue if some didn't need to work two jobs or long hours. Saving money may not be as big of an issue if wealth inequality wasn't at rec

Sounds like a talent agent. Sectors that utilize talent agents often still have strong collective bargaining agreements and unions in place. Part of the power of a union is the ability to deprive a business or industry of labor. A talent ag

So it's like Glassdoor or Salary.com? That's not a union, that's not HR, that's not armed protection.
