"Choose U-235 if the goal is safe, boring, practical electricity generation.
Choose Pu-241 only if the goal is specifically to consume/recycle plutonium in a reactor designed and licensed for that fuel.
In brutal shorthand: Pu-241 is a better “fissile isotope” in some nuclear-physics ways, but U-235 is a much better reactor fuel in the real world."
If only I knew anything about nuclear reactors. But it sounds to me that the answer is also correct.
You have some rather uncommon prejudice towards people who go to bars. Unless of course your culture is significantly different from mine.
But where I am from:
- bars are 'a third place' where people hang regularly without getting wasted
- bars serve dozens of different non-alcoholic drinks
- most people in the bar are not "looking for a one night stand" but for some socializing, fun, and a chance to meet interesting people
But as I said, maybe your part of the world has bars that attract different clientele.
What type of developer chooses UX and performance over security? So reckless.
I removed the locks from all the doors, now entering/exiting is 87% faster!
After removing all the safety equipment, our vehicles have significantly improved in mileage, acceleration and top speed!
I used to be an occasional MR reader, but stopped visiting lately because of this.
When it became obvious how the US presidential race will end (basically after assassination attempt) Cowen's tone heavily shifted.
Even the facade of objectivity went through the window. Now most of his writing is spent on defending the indefensible. Shame, his early takes helped shape my world model.
If I found a folder with a hundred images of naked kids on your PC, I would report you to authorities, regardless of what pose kids are depicted in. So I guess the answer is no.
There's a reason I rarely see local subsidiaries of cool small companies from other EU countries - it's too complicated to open them, have a couple of local employees on a payroll, handle notarization, translations of documents, not to mention labor laws etc.
Energy is expensive because fossil fuels are destroying the only planet we have.
If a person is taking lifesaving medicine that unfortunately makes their skin itch, you wouldn't call itchiness "a problem which they have created themselves in the first place"...
>I like the pelican riding a bike test, but my standards for what’s “good” seem higher than generally expected by others.
If you train for your first marathon, is your goal to run it under 2h?
We are all looking forward to perfect results, but our standards are reasonable. We know what the results were last month, and judge the improvement velocity.
Nobody thinks that's a good SVG of a pelican riding a bike - on it's own. But it's a lot better compared to all the other LLM-generated SVGs of a pelican riding a bike.
We judge relative results - you judge absolute results. Confusion ensues.
If entities comprising the union are not forced to compromise (and compromise by some type of majority is the most logical one), and want to pick and choose, then that is no union. And there can be no union like that.
>Food shipments are being restricted because it's not generally accepted that you have to feed your enemies while you're at war with them.
Funny way to put it.
You do not feed the enemy, rest of the world feeds the enemy.
You make all effort to prevent the enemy being fed, to starve the enemy to death.
Starving the enemy is generally accepted as a war crime, but Israel disagrees.
Oh yeah, and enemy in this case includes infants.
