So everyone now is surveilled en masse and patrolled by agents of the state, great solution. Is that really what we want?

My personal experience with interacting with the WNA revolves around their interactions with the WNU, which is the World Nuclear University. It's a partnership between the WNA, IAEA, and others. Their goal is to promote education in the field and having significant experience with the WNU, and having noticed no irregularities, it would be very unlikely if the WNA was simply making things up, or if they were spreading falsehoods. The WNA site is consistently pointed to as a global source of truth by the WNU and by the IAEA.

Could you enlighten me as to who would be a more reliable source on nuclear technology?

Would an organization evidently so deeply ingrained with and tied to the UN and the UN's nuclear-specific arm, backed by numerous experts, really be in the business of misleading anyone? Would you disregard a pro-climate change website for its pro-climate change bias as well?

If you still don't believe me, feel free to drop your email and I can setup a time for you to meet several physicists or engineers in the NYC area for lunch, for an educational session free of charge.

The page is run by the UN. Who, in your opinion, would be a more reputable source?

It's very worrying to see comments like this become more and more common on HN.

Yes, I will take the waste. If it's in the containers we've developed specifically for this purpose, yes. It beats the current situation in the US where everyone stores waste on site because politicians can't decide where to put it because of people like you.

Modern waste, with proper precautions, is safe for long term disposal and storage. I cannot stress this enough.

If you don't believe me, this website has plenty of information regarding nuclear power, straight from the source. It is developed and run by the UN. Based on your misinformation, I strongly urge you to pore over this content and then attempt to reevaluate your own question.

inverse square law and lack of any volume of any highly active source makes dirty bombs a nonissue. they are scarier than they are effective.

Again, waste storage is incredibly secure and safe. It wouldn't leech into the water. Nuclear subs have sank into the ocean, and, surprise, there wasn't a global disaster.

We have already solved the nuclear waste problem. The issue is that nobody wants to bury it in their backyard, so to speak. Waste containers are incredibly safe and secure, and modern fuel waste is much safer than gen 1 fuel waste. People like feel-good shiny solar panels and wind turbines over concrete near-zero emission solutions.

stimulants are pretty much the only thing that will help. I notice a lot of users commenting how much caffeine, coffee, redbull, monster they consume. 10mg of adderall is much healthier for you than multiple cans of energy drinks. Take care of your body.

The SL 5x5 website and random videos for form are plenty, the book is not really necessary.

Interactive Brokers has SLB information. You would need a valid account though.

as usual, the pirated enterprise editions with telemetry disabled work really well.

The objective was to find an eco-friendly method to do so. Thus the living walls, and not just outdoor air intake (which would cost power to run the fans, similar to the energy footprint of running an AC). I can't comment on average outdoor air, but plants certainly helped.

Back in college, I worked on a project whose goals were to examine the effects of closed room vs. fresh air cognition. The solution was a partnership between the Architecture and Biotech departments to develop so-called "living walls" to continuously recycle air. In accordance with this article, test subjects showed improved cognition and memory working in fresh, low co2 ppm air.

I unfortunately do not have a paper but I did find an article about it and it seems they've deployed it in real life with success: https://www.architectmagazine.com/technology/breathe-in-case...

I agree. I never understood the notion of same-day registration, nor the constant blasting of voting reminders for months before the midterms. Do we really want people who have to be extremely convinced to vote, to vote? Do we really want people who didn't care at all, got convinced by one team the day of, and decided to vote on a whim, to vote? Thus, are the votes from people who had to be reminded on twitter and google to vote, "real" votes? Or were they gamed?

Hi, thanks for making a great product. I love it and use it every day for personal notes. That being said, is there any possibility of the platform having a self hosted option in the future?

Hey Adrian, I've recently been looking into this area and stumbled upon your site only several weeks ago. I was wondering if musical instruments would fit into the "art" investment category as well, or is it a separate asset class? Stradivarius/Cremona violins, Steinway pianos, etc. Would rare musical instruments yield similar returns on average?

same. nothing more infuriating than failing a captcha three times....somehow.

Wouldnt then our “green renewables” also not be green due to their production lifecycle as well? Plastics, batteries, fiberglass, rare earth metals, cobalt, etc

My mother, a poor immigrant, managed to provide me with education just fine in the US. Nothing to do with the funding or programs or systems - its just willpower.

I have been looking for something similar and settled on using notion.so

I dont like how self host is not an option but its very clean, supports markdown, has an awesome interface as a personal wiki, and the free tier has plenty of space.

Its only a job if you contract them voluntarily.

What if the government forced us all to buy BigMacs every day under threat of jail time? Some people would certainly be happy that they are being fed “for free” (deducted prepay for two weeks of government bigmacs from each paycheck + convenience fee + online payment fee + tax), but you might not. Further, this is also assuming government finds the most effective solutions at the lowest cost. Usually they just do the latter to meet the absolute bare minimum. There’s no way for government services to be zero cost, so they assign their own overhead.

So now we have a Department of Burgers in every state. Everyone has to buy them every day, if you dont you go to prison, you cant see the cost breakdown of the bigmacs and the quality is inferior to private BigMacs. Some people who love bigmacs and would buy them anyways say “I am glad the government forced me to pay for them. Thats a lot of the job!”, and those who would never buy them find negative value from such a proposal.

What I’m trying to say is that even if you anecdotally agree, it does not make it right.
