  • There's 90,000 tons of nuclear waste in the US. How and where is it stored?

    Jump

  • There are 3 tiers of radioactive waste. With the highest being radioactive enough to produce heat, and the lowest being barely (if at all) more radioactive than your home.

    But the low level waste accounts for 96% of waste, and is sometimes made up of things that could be contaminated, and are treated as such as a precaution.

    The highest level waste makes up <1% of waste.

  • Heat setting magnets is bad.

  • If you do this, make really good notes and markings on the polarity of your magnets.

    The number of times I have tried this, to end up with two mating parts that repel each other.

    Alternatively, just print recesses and glue them in afterwards.

  • This is cool.

    After watching Alex Steeles videos on anodizing Ti, I had an idea of using stencil style masks to make art.

    A pen plotter seems much smarter.

  • Facebook Allegedly Detected When Teen Girls Deleted Selfies So It Could Serve Them Beauty Ads

  • This is the sort of thing machine learning algorithms are pretty good at at.

    Coupled with however many millions of interactions a day, you would have no problem correlating changes to your algorithm against increases in revenue.

    But. It’s often not that impressive. Humans are equally good at noticing patterns.

    All it takes is for one person at FB to see their wife or daughter delete a post, ask them “why did you delete that post” and take away from the response of “It made me look fat” to go “there’s a new targeted ad that’ll get me a bonus”.

    In a similar vein, 80% of your banks anti-fraud systems isn’t deep learning models that detect fraudulent behaviour. Instead it’s “if the user is based in Russia, add 80 points, and if the account is at a branch in 10km of Heinersdorf Berlin, add another 50…. We’re pretty sure a Russian scammer goes on holiday every 6 months and opens a bunch of accounts there, we just don’t know which ones”.

  • In the UK, if a the registered owner is unable to name the driver, or unable to provide a satisfactory reason why they can’t, it’s a £1000 (~NZ$2000) fine.

    I’m pretty sure some people might use company owned vehicles to get out of demerits, but it’s expensive.

  • Peter Prescott fails to overturn bankruptcy after $34k fines defending $80 speeding ticket

    Jump

  • In NZ we can transfer fines to other people, why not demerits? Other countries handle it fine.

    Don’t want demerits for when you’re not driving? Don’t let dickheads drive your car.

  • Peter Prescott fails to overturn bankruptcy after $34k fines defending $80 speeding ticket

    Jump

  • I’m not 100% caught up on NZ driving penalties.

    But my understanding is you can only get demerits in person, from another person, at the time, on the side of the road.

    This seems like a flaw. I can cope with a low-tier speeding fine easily. $30? Shit, that’s “don’t buy a coffee that month” territory. I can just not do that all year, if I get caught speeding by a camera every month it’s not great but it’s handleable.

    Demerits? I’m not fucking with that shit. I can’t offset them with lifestyle changes. Too many of them and I’m up shits creek.

    But you’re not getting demerits from fixed cameras or camera vans. Ie, all the speed cameras on motorways. You’ve got to be speeding enough to get pulled over. And if you do, it’s still up to the officers discretion.

  • This isn’t foolproof.

    The same car might be manufactured in multiple factories for multiple markets, to multiple levels of certification.

    Your “new car” in one country, could be the previous years European model if the euro regs have changed.

  • This is the reason I haven’t given it a chance.

    Not that I’m unwilling, but with no common hardware, I’m reluctant to go out and buy something.

    I can go buy a pinephone for postmarket, but won’t work for sailfish. I can get an Xperia for sailfish, but I’m out of luck for postmarket.

    Not to mention, I’m reluctant to drop a chunk of cash on aged hardware, whose successor doesn’t look to be as well supported.
