Of course it's a little more complicated than that, because decay heat is the concern in a loss of cooling scenario. Having said that, I can't speak to the Indian Point design at all.

The truth we fail to face is that, in the grueling task of caring for the elderly and all the perverse incentives to cut corners, providing holistic care is an enormous labor of love that will tend to not work well outside of family, despit

Is that not accomplished by wearing a helmet? I haven't been on a motorcycle in over a decade, but I recall it being pretty quiet in the helmet.

And yet both are informative, which is not true of the title you propose.

Unfortunately, this means that there is no equal treatment under the law, which means that the rule of law is only partial.

Much like WebMD devolved into every symptom being cancer and the side effect of any medication being everything, (including death), such a virtual lawyer would devolve into "everything is complicated; hire a lawyer." In essence, i

Oh, that would seem the intuitive path to me. If they claim to want to be left alone and have minimal government distortion in their lives, wouldn't we expect those experiencing the most distortion to resent it most?

There's Terrapower, which seems like a pretty interesting place to work and a lot of worthwhile technologies. I'd probably go work there myself if I were open to the location.

If you have high-traffic, high-speed roads where people are crossing by foot, your design has failed. The two places where you encounter unwanted crossings in volume in the US are 1. Streets (for commerce, not travel) that were built too wi

Jaywalking is a bizarre example. The criminalization of normal human movement through automotive lobbies and a derogatory slur is hardly a thing we should aspire to. A more worthwhile thing to discuss is the prevalence of people ducking the

It was the first note in a vocal concert, no accompaniment, no cueing, and I remember that it's A flat. I just googled A flat 2 and sang what I was thinking of. When the recording started, it matched my pitch.

This read like a normal workplace to me. It exists somewhere in the space between poor management, not setting boundaries (because you're too worried someone will be disappointed), and all of that leading to abuse of the zero marginal

Not post-paid. If you want privacy, you need to be more serious than that. Mint mobile prepaid (no personal info) on a device you bought outright in cash. Obviously, no one should know that phone number; you should do all interactions throu

No. If there's fear of a shortage and prices don't rise adequately in response, then shortages happen.

Podcasts follow a predictable trend, almost always. Someone really interesting and very well-informed has a lot of stuff to say that they've been stewing over for a decade or more. 100-200 episodes in, they've gotten it off their

The statistics you cited show more "urban" than "rural", yes, but nowhere do they explain the distinction. Both words are poor descriptors of areas with unlimited access, 45mph roads linking gas stations and big box sto

They do tax cars based on weight (in the US). If your car weighs too little, it's a personal vehicle. If it's heavy enough to be "transportation equipment" (large SUV) you can get effective tax breaks by deducting its co

No, I don't think it's a millenial thing. I agree with you completely.

No, still positive. Negative feedback is self-righting, while positive feedback is amplification (to speak in very broad terms.)

Can you recommend any particular studies of those you mention about downward mobility?

Misleading title. The study (based on the abstract as I don't have access) doesn't track anyone in this study; it just compares deciles over time, ignoring movement between these. So 'the poor' may very well be getting

Try the buttons around the display. That almost always solves the problem. If none of them work, stop pumping gas and leave. That always solves the problem.
