True, but breeder technology has a lot more potential for weaponry proliferation (part of the reason France is so much invested in nuclear is precisely because of that.) And it’s not as easy as recycling empty glass bottles… the French stru

Ah that’s breeders, it’s a different game. They’re technically more challenging (the French spent billions on their plants which didn't quite deliver) and have a significant nuclear weapons proliferation risk. Somewhere I read (sorry f

Nah, I wouldn’t have tried to run IntelliJ from windows at all, or I’d have run Mingw or just booted to Linux. Or just gone MacOS as I’ve done for 15 years. I tried out windows out of exasperation for Apple’s latest intel lemons and out of

Well, the way previous generations fizzled suggests these problems aren’t that solved after all. Just 1 long term waste storage has ever been built in the world, plant productivity has always been relatively low (initial manufacturing delay

I get the fascination with base load and the incredible amount of energy compared to chemical based alternatives. But: 1. What will the net online time be? (Lots of these plants go in maintenance for long stretches of time) 2. Spent fuel? 3

well... completely integrated is a stretch. I'm currently wrestling with Ubuntu because IntelliJ will crash hard when opening a Java project on a WSL path. When it doesn't crash (downgrade the jbr) it will fail to establish the RM

> MacBook Pros, Razer Blades, the XBox Series X, and the PS5 all use 8-core CPUs, so the prediction of an ever-escalating number of CPU cores seems to have not really panned out. You seem to forget the GPU, how may cores does that have?

Wouldn’t you implement that via an outbound SQS? (If that’s even possible)

I guess there's also some of "beggars can't be choosers" paternalist mindset going on when _deciding for the poor_ what they _deserve to have built with our money_.

Indeed. It’s not about productivity but rather maintaining the social pyramid intact. The tragedy is in this assumption that extending opportunities to the middle and bottom layers will detract from the privilege of the top. While it is tru

Very nice indeed. I bet it wasn’t the intention of the author, but the intro sounded a bit critical of Octopress and of how it fell behind, and so on. Perhaps I woke up in the wrong mood, but I’d have praised the authors and community of th

Hey, went to double check that claim and learned on Wikipedia that Yugoslavia did IMF backed austerity policies in the ‘80s.

by eecc 5y ago
Italy also benefited from access to the European market, while Yugoslavia was stuck - and even there not quite well integrated either - with the flailing economies of the Eastern Block. About your last statement, you seem to forget some of

Sure, but the OP said "moderate communism" and I wrote that a Scandinavian-like compromise would have been an interesting scenario for Italy. I didn't quite say the two were the same thing, although some - n.b. some - ethical

Why? Has the “partitocrazia” first and the ‘80s cleptocracy, Berlusconi’s downward spiral, and the last attempts an installing neoliberal proxy governments done any good to the country? I guess there’s no point discussing impossible alterna

for sure, but the harmonic characteristics of sea waves are rather different. But yeah, you do have a point.

Really? I don't think you'd have the same problems. Sure, randomly contrarian NIMBYs will fight to their last breath over anything, but one thing is an overhead train track, another is an oil pipeline with all the environmental ha

by eecc 5y ago
Yeah, you won’t get animals randomly wandering on the tracks if you lay them over concrete bridge structures, costs a tad more also in terms of concrete production emissions but you can offset that by running the trains on renewables throu

Sure, although most of the measures proposed are about a massive mobilization subsidized by government. One could also argue that it’s still a brittle, overly lean organization if a landscape regulation tipped it into service disruption.

Might, would… look, I don’t want to come up with a True Scotsman counter argument, but it does sound like one: blaming this mess on the single one restriction that seemed to exist. Are we going to blame driving time restrictions next?

Seems like all these tweets are about emptying ports so they - and the author’s startup - can go back to their business. The rest of the systems’ profits and sustainability seem to be secondary. Perhaps it might make sense to ponder if thi

Funny how free-market, small-government, deregulation, rhetoric flies out of the window when own profit maximization short-terminism falls apart and everyone starts invoking centrally coordinated state intervention. I wonder if some governm

Isn’t that a market failure? I mean the rhetoric of free unregulated market is that the “homo economicus” would use total information and make fully conscious decisions. Seems like some are withholding information to push other actors to ma

Ah well, I guess that’s a nice opportunity to quote and paraphrase the meme: if you can’t make a profit while paying a living wage, the problem is not with minimum wage but with your business model.

Sure, just not that way anyway. Try again.

What about the rest; the presentations the executive summaries… all the paperwork that suits babble around… it takes some serious “terrorist organization” opsec to perform like this

Clarification: I’m not wondering how they managed to keep the human ethics in check, that’s pretty obvious: paying the price for corruption and wrapping it up in legal threats of economically violent retribution. I’m referring to the techno

I wonder how that code managed to stay secret so many years. How did they keep all the mass of data, the tickets, the user stories and pitch decks from being spilled online and get publicly dressed down? I guess that’s the one single major
