Does seem a bit nuts that they had a document sitting around containing informant identities. Seems like the kind of thing you’d never store in plain text (or not store at all!)

Wouldn’t that depend on the size of the study? Seems like catching an orders of magnitude smaller difference would require orders of magnitude more samples... and the population is only so big..

I agree nuclear is generally govt funded rather than commercial. Although TFA is about a commercial nuclear plant (granted, about a minor setback for said commercial plant).... so there’s at least some commercial interest.

First off, I don’t mean to argue against renewable sources of energy! Second, you could google recycling if you wanted to. It generates electricity which is cool! We generally don’t do it in the US, but we could if storage became unsafe or

Hey I don’t know much about this model, but a lot of the safety records are public in the U.S. on nrc.gov so you might be able to see if there’s any cause for concern (which I doubt!). Personally I would feel safe living near a plant. The

The amount of waste is so small it’s not worth recycling. But we easily could (France does this or at least used to). If you mean debris after a disaster, then yeah, I agree, we aren’t great at cleaning that up e.g. in Fukushima. Edit: I wa

I suppose the compiler could reorder function calls if it can prove there is no change in behavior? If so, then it could hoist dtors above the call and emit a jump. I doubt any compilers do this.

> The people handling the billions of dollars know their stuff, and they don't like nuclear for this reason. What do you mean by this? I’d be curious to read about that. As far as I knew, nuclear is one of the main investments of t

Fukushima was built in 1968 and Chernobyl was built in 1972. We learned a lot from these incidents, and I think those lessons are valuable for building reactors of all sizes 50 years later. I do think we should be quicker to decommission an

Right now, nuclear power plants generate approximately the same amount of power as all renewables combined (in the US). Don’t see why we wouldn’t invest in all proven and environmentally-viable energy solutions. Not to mention the reasons

I think this is true. But there are some ways I think the US inadvertently creates a culture of getting drunk rather than a culture of drinking e.g. many states allow zero underage drinking (so ppl illegally do it anyway and to excess) and

Moving into clamp is problematic since you’d make clamp destructive. You couldn’t use any of the arguments after clamp. Non const refs seems like a weird idea (what if I got a const ref from my callee? Why can’t I clamp?).

by sesuximo 6y ago
What would you have them use instead of constant references? If you take values and T is bigint, then clamp becomes unusable. Even if it’s 128 bit ints... that’s worse. I think const ref makes perfect sense. It has the logic you want but

I know we’re supposed to hate Oracle, but they’ve provided Java, MySQL, and several other things for free-ish for years. Yes, not as free as you could want, but they’re useful and available enough that you’ve heard of and probably used the

I was envisioning if you use x% of the grid’s power, you get a visit from the epa Edit: you’re right that this would not catch really decentralized mining. Which is definitely a hole. In those cases, it would be hard to regulate I agree

I think requires/concepts do a few things: - document an interface (without making you use virtual fns or any weird tricks) - allow you to use SFINAE without more weird tricks So yeah, this amounts to enforcing that your class can do c

Not really.. in part 1 of a hypothetical spectre attack, you’d have to figure out how to time a branch hit/miss, and the presence of likely may change the times/inputs you’d need to use to do that. These attributes are just hints

I don’t think it’s necessary to think about all use cases... just those that use lots and lots of energy.

Not related to my original point, but I feel like btc just substitutes trust in an existing banking system with trust in (your wallet provider, the exchange, your computer’s security, and the stability of btc’s price).

My only complaint about Bitcoin is the energy use. And I think it would be reasonable to whitelist things that are allowed to use so much electricity (or make their prices rise as a function of use)

The dissent point out “non-competing” is a bit of a stretch as this affected contracts oracle had.

I think because workers have recently made a lot of money from stock, it doesn’t make sense to renegotiate their contracts right now.

I’m not a huge Musk fan, but seems like he’s right here? Especially now that we know how that stock has performed over the last few years. Imo the value of the UAW should be to provide a lower bound for worker pay/treatment. Tesla see
