I agree on all points except this one: > Don’t assume you’ll make this much money forever. There is a 90% chance that your salary will increase by 10% per year, on average, during your career. On average means that sometimes your company

The system bring talked about here can deliver 250kW during 11 seconds max. That is LESS than 1 kWh of energy storage. I hope it's not the one on the picture otherwise their cost estimates are way off and two orders of magnitude larger

Indeed, that and sql syntax errors are solved by using an orm or sql code generator like sql alchemy core.

Thanks for the precision. Which one is more insane?

It's quite simple really: 1. Big hedge fund bet against GameStop stock (shorted up to 140% of the stock, it's called naked short and everybody thought it was illegal since 2008 but that's another story) 2. Lot of small-to-med

TL;DR: If you auto-upgrade your setuptools version during your app deployment, your deployment pipeline will crash when version 46 or later is installed.

I always thought it was a military term meaning "zero kill". No casualty is OK.

> Or do your homework and find that it’s actually far worse than pro-nuclear propagandists constantly claim. Well, I did. And did not find any convincing claims. Try to take a step back and not see everyone as either anti or pro. Show me

> But a single nuclear power plant has the potential for continent-wide devastation. This is not true. The space destroyed to make way for coal strip-mining in Germany alone, is larger than Tchernobyl exclusion zone.

Not at all. Dams failures are WAY worse in terms of deaths.

Well, I cannot undo years of pervasive anti-nuke sentiment in a small hacker news comment. I was like you before, it's the "default" sentiment to feel like nuclear power is dangerous and dirty. Please do your homework and col

Nuclear power is not that dangerous on a large scale compared to coal power. Or burning any fossil fuel for that matter.

This article is misleading. You can NOT replace nuclear with wind and solar. Because you can't choose when the sun shines and when the wind blows. Hydro in France is already built-up everywhere it was feasible. There are no more spots

I worked for a company that made the same mistake but with AWS Kinesis instead of Kafka. So, much more costly mistake.

That's great news for space in general. SpaceX has proven to be far more efficient than the usual suspects for making stuff happen in space. Finger crossed, let's hope the Gateway program don't get downsized to oblivious by t

No. But he told us to charge (or be paid) more and probably make us tenths of millions collectively. In the real world, nobody tells you to charge more or raise your salary.

A bit off-topic but aren't there two Tesla cars in front of that house? If you look closely, they are plugged into an electric charging station on the sidewalk. When I lived in the Netherlands a couple years ago, I was fascinated by th

1. People finally realize that wind and solar are not going to replace coal any time soon. Nuclear goes back in fashion. China and Russia lead the way. 2. Interval combustion engines are finally seen as the bane of mankind. Electric cars be

Which is true indeed! Nuclear power, in a world where transport emits co2, emits co2 (especially during the enrichment phase). Just waaaaay less than other forms of electricity production (including solar and wind)

As a moderately successful saas founder, I'd advise you to take a series of increasingly better paid freelance gigs, then invest the surplus into dividend stocks. A successful saas is a lot of work and not passive at all. Good luck! It

Because the nuclear reaction is not dependant on the wind blowing to produce energy. It's not 100% because you need to do maintenance at times.
