The thing is, when you create a sea of people looking at the concert through their phones, you have already ruined the concert for the people who want to live in the moment and just experience the concert as is. The phone ban is created exa

When you spread people out, you don't have a city anymore. It's just an endless suburb. And people want to live in cities, because things happen there. There are jobs, services, public transport etc.

Then there's the popular culture that feeds pretty much completely fictionalized views of nuclear. I'm pretty sure a lot of anti-nuclear attitudes stem from The Simpsons.

I worked in a company known for its work-life balance (best in the country). We tried open office, solo work (team of 1) anywhere I like (if I wanted to go to the office, I could), and solo work besides a team doing related work. Nothing we

The thing is, even fallible science is better than non-science. The only thing that has consistently put understanding of the universe forward is science. I mean, if we don't trust the scientific method, what's the alternative? Bi

I have this. It got so bad I had to quit work two years ago. After medication and therapy, I still can't work without getting panic attacks. I'm really frustrated and don't know what to do..

It is also impossible to be sure that non-GMO products are safe. No amount of testing makes anything 100% guaranteed to be safe, it's all about where you draw the line on how much evidence is sufficient. That's simply how science

Which part of it is questionable to you? That nuclear is more regulated than other forms of energy? That regulation increases building costs?

I think the number is actually the total for global deaths in air pollution: http://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/releases/2014/air-pollut... Coal is not the only contributor, but still a major one: http

Yes you are correct. As I mentioned elsewhere ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12725402 ), I made that statement under old information. I stand corrected. But the larger point still stands about nuclear being the safest

I agree that their intentions are good, but you have to draw a line somewhere between cost and safety. Nothing we do is completely risk-free. You can get choked eating food, you can get into a car accident, yet food and transportation indus

Yeah, you seem to be closer to the truth. I was assuming old knowledge from this summer, when Wikipedia was still saying that deaths won't be likely to increase: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fukushima

I agree that it's a major failure, but doesn't that just mean that nuclear is even safer than people expect? Safety systems, backup safety systems, backup-backup safety systems can go down, and yet, the plant kills nobody. Even th

You are absolutely right about the discount. Being skeptical is also good, but on the flip side there is a lot of money floating around in peoples private bank accounts that is seeking an investment target. I mean, how would one invest $10

A depressed mind doesn't work like that. For a depressed person, their brain is constantly torturing them, and the depressed point of view seems much more real. "You can choose to pretend you're happy like the rest, but you k
