more importantly than a good writer, he is great scientist and scientific leader. It takes a special person to create and/or lead the growth of a team/lab/institution to world-class level. Somewhat reminds me of M. Kelly from

I’ve just finished reading “DNA: the story of a genetic revolution” by J. Watson, Nobel prize winner, who was a long time director of Cold Spring Harbor laboratory (number 1 on that list). It is an awesome and very easy overview of the fiel

we have a somewhat popular open source project on TF 1.x However, we decided that for it’s successor we would go with Pytorch. Because going from TF 1.x to TF 2.x seemed to be almost as much hassle as just going to Pytorch from TF and Pyto

I don’t understand why all the growth need to happen in this place and this place alone. Wouldn’t it be nice if “good” jobs overflow SV and appear in other places? (kind of happening to Austin, Boulder, NY, etc.) And people who already live

A much better solution would be: 1) open more large centers in other states. having a single supercenter with good jobs in one place only is bad for that place and country as a whole 2) encourage and promote remote work

my point is that because of fear of nuclear no further research was done. It is now super hard to even get enough material for a rector/battery such as the one on Curiosity

yes, we should explore (and eventually exploit) all forms of propulsion and decide between them based on physics, not politics
761.
by option 7y ago
that’s why we need regulatory bodies and, yes, tariffs which should factor all those additional costs: to environment, human rights, etc.

Please explain to me how do I benefit when the taxes I pay to live in my house go up
766.

this is not a tax on being poor, this is a tax on everyone. It is also to be used by everyone, so why only property owners should pay?

you can’t just build more houses without infrastructure. And even with it, people already living here will and do oppose building more (and, alas, they have a right to their opinion) We should not have job singularities like Bay Area or NY,

for more samples go to the villages in the 30 km zone around Chernobyl- few people refused to evacuate and still live there at the very old age. Though I doubt they were ever exposed to such high levels of radiation as mentioned in the par

My point is that nuclear is very safe, not that we should get rid of solar. People, think! I now live in Bay Area (very sunny place) and have solar on my house. Problem is that it covers at best 40% of my family’s (4 people) energy needs

Regarding risk analysis - past track record is very important, especially when we have decades of it. Nuclear is very heavy regulated (and it should be) to prevent possible risks and new designs are very safe

I grew up in a city (Slavutich) ~ 35 miles from Prioyat where it was evacuated. Radiation levels there two times smaller than in Manhattan ( which is still within the norm). Interestingly, some people refused to evacuate from nearby village
