Nope:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CANDU_reactor

The CANDU is a successful attempt, the energy amplifier was never attempted, and self breeding reactors are a material engineering problem (alas not yet completely solved), not a physics problem.

Throwing a fraction of what we are spending to chase the "fusion dream" we could have achieved a great deal more for present reality.

Again that's all IMO.

edited: clarification

That might be a good solution, I also am against privatization of some strategic assets, and energy production is obviously one of them

Yes, and in the meanwhile they live in a cleaner place, whereas in Germany people breathe toxic particles in the air (including radioactive particles released by burning coal)

Also, there are possible solutions to nuclear waste, such as auto-breeding reactors that basically burn waste, or energy amplifiers... that also reduce nuclear waste to waste products with much more manageable half lifes.

IMO Being a luddite with nuclear energy means not looking at reality for what it is

Because you can jailbreak the phone with the vulnerability.

And they don't want that :)

It makes me wonder how people like Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos use for their phone security.

For sure they are much more interesting targets than I am, therefore burning a few 0-days might be worth the effort.

Might be a business model for a Kernel engineer:

* Go work for Apple

* Learn vulnerabilities

* Resign

* Sell vulnerabilities for cash on the dark market

The podcast also says that they have ~60 customers in 40 countries... do your calculations.

Sorry, this is not true.

The real issue is that software has many bugs as the sum of all contributes to it, and all it takes is finding one.

What I mean is that it takes just one sloppy developer to introduce a bug, and that's all you need.

Making unbreakable software is a much harder task than breaking it.

It's not about who's smarter, it's about what's easier.

That's now what was written:

Melatonin should never be taken... is different from recommending not to self medicate.

The previous comment can also be read as "disregard medical advice if tells you to take melatonin"

I think that the common ground is the non-optionality.

From what I can understand the point here is that you cannot choose not to pay

I know this might be annoying, but razor focused... is a really ridiculous picture

I was imagining someone trying to focus a binocular with a razor... not really smart :)

for you adult age is easier, maybe for bullies it is harder :)

we should just stop cutting, burning, and remove forest space... trees are very good at replanting themselves, they had hundred of million of years to perfect it

This is not a direct critique (i.e. I am not saying that you're wrong), but this line of thinking is rather unpopular these days, and possibly with good reason: it can easily conflate into eugenetics and many of the problems we already faced in 20th century.

Unfortunately social dynamics are a complexity layer on top of the already complicated layer of nature itself. We all are after-all moist machines with a brain (and these 2 things have very complex and convoluted feed-back loops)

The last line is actually wrong in my opinion, we did outsmart nature in many senses: we can fly, go underwater, stop bacterial infections that would have killed us, became de-facto apex predators, despite we are rather weak animals... therefore depending on how you keep the score, I'd say that we are actually winning against nature.

Sorry, but I don't understand why fuel price should rise if the demand takes a dip

What I don't understand is: why don't you take a train instead?

I have never been to US, but whenever I hear about self driving cars I think: why don't people just use public transport if they don't want to drive?

Thanks, I learned something very valuable today

You are actually spot on

As long as we don't remove fossil fuel usage, planting trees is just something to make us feel better without actually fixing the problem.

Also, you can plant as much as you want, it's going to be much less than what's burned by planters in amazon's forest alone, and they are actually burning the wood.

The main take-away is that destroying something is always several orders of magnitude easier than building that thing, and as long as we don't stop destroying we won't manage to build at a faster rate, therefore stop deluding yourselves.

It also looks like a flaking attempt at a political party...

This

I also read the letter from Bezos and thought "ok is just useless propaganda"

But having someone break it down for me and questioning every statement, was somewhat useful, and possibly increased my awareness to this kind of krap... ehm double standards

Ok, thanks for the clarification, I just don't want to keep my hopes up too much on it.

I read quite extensively about cold fusion, and in the end there were too many bad actors to actually have a demystified clue of what's happening

Nope

UBI is a better thing, when you have extreme inefficient bureaucracy, and need to deal with it on a daily basis, this is not a good thing, it is actually slowing down the good parts that are left in the economical system

You want to get rid of unproductive people hindering the productive ones, and UBI is a much better solution.

So it's not organic, unless you mean like cancer is organic, in that sense I might agree.

UBI in contrast, can be seen as something more benign

Italian public sector is long due for a clean-up, this is just the very visible tip of the iceberg. Cases of absenteeism have been reported by media almost on a daily basis for many many years, the problem is that nothing is really happening to those people.

FWIW I am an Italian living abroad since 14 years

Sounds like a third renaming of cold-fusion, then called LENR, now it is lattice confinement fusion...

Let's see if this turns out to be snake oil, or something comes out of it.

Midnight Commander

Actually a ssh key-rotation could be scripted in a cron-job and be completely transparent to the user...

Every X days generate a new RSA key pair, connect to all the hosts and replace the public key matching the previous one in the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

Is there any issue with this solution?

a couple more alternatives:

https://mega.io/

https://tox.chat/

Mega has a chat, phone and video calls

Tox is actually quite decentralized (I think you cannot be more decentralized than p2p), but has many inconveniences of not being cloud based

EDIT: readability

I started taking some probiotics, two different kinds each day for more than one month. In particular I had one containing among others saccaromyces boulardii and one containing lactobacillus reuteri

I lost around 5% of my body weight by not being so hungry any more. I think this is due to a reduction of my suspect candidosa which was making me always crave for sugar.

As a plus I am also less humoral, and don't have mental fog any more.

I think of the human microbioma like a patch to human biology system, while DNA is the blueprint.

That said please bear in mind that I am no doctor, I have no medical or biological education... so take it for what it is, a very personal experience with also no statistical value

Voiello make pretty decent linguine or spaghetti. Never tried any other shape from them.

La Molisana is also OK among the commercial ones.

But if you have the chance to find it, you should try some pasta from Gragnano, they normally have pretty small businesses, so it is not so easy to find abroad.

In my opinion Rummo is more commercial than Cocco, and despite being a very valid product, doesn't have the same quality.

Basically Cocco bought the old bronze machinery from De Cecco, when it still was a relatively small family business and not the huge company that it is today, and keeps using them... with an overhead that justifies the premium (if you like good pasta).

Anyhow, as I said, I mostly cook with De Cecco because it's easy to find in the supermarket, sometimes I go to an Italian shop that's close to where I live, and buy some artisanal pasta, and on rare occasions on holidays, I make home-made pasta (tagliatelle or pasta alla chitarra, and ragù as a sauce... it's really not that difficult, and it tastes much better than anything you can buy)
