I'm not the one making bad faith arguments like 'the only negative result is public distrust of nuclear plants'

Not all radioactive material is created equal. I would read an article about how dangerous the coal plant radioactive material if anyone knows of one.

The radiation is going into the Pacific and not the air, maybe that's preferable.

The other poster doesn't know how many people will die from the meltdown especially since there's no agreement on estimating Chernobyl deaths. The pro-nuclear crowd proudly boasts the number is zero which I don't believe, the plant manager died of radiation as many of the sailors on the USS Reagan, which brings the total up from zero.

Everyone knows a tsunami caused Fukushima, the question is 1) what are the health implications of it and 2) can it ever be contained? The answers seem to be 1) we can't measure (it now) and 2) no.

In what way is it not worse than Chernobyl? Fukushima is a triple meltdown and the cores are not entombed in concrete. If people die from Fukushima they will die of cancer and not 'radiation' so we won't know the real mortality numbers for a long time.

I think 'Propella' is a compelling e-bike, it looks normal which I think is important because something fancier attracts thieves. In my dream world I would buy a 'Vintage Electric', but I know it would get stolen in five seconds.

I'm waiting for a distributed system, any non-profit has to comply with government censorship.

Some kind of an equilibrium has been reached involving the transfer of billions of dollars, not easy to change.

Do you think uBeam is also a scam / impossible technology to deliver?

It's not the role of government to brush my teeth.

This is basically what Portland, Oregon did, as I understand.

Don't forget 'The high cost of Free Parking'

Some cultures don't trust banks and prefer to park their money in real estate.

No kids outside, no sidewalks, no one walking around (without a dog) because there's nothing you can walk to, a bunch of unused baseball fields aka 'parks', the only place you will likely bump into your neighbor is the supermarket.

Then again, suburban dwellers aren't totally crazy because our large cities are also built for cars with space for people as a complete afterthought most of the streets in Minneapolis need a road-diet. In Minneapolis, we invented the mall (Southdale), which sucked all the retail life out the city then we added the 'Mall of America' just to finish the job, to add insult to injury we built preposterous skyways which divides what's left of our paltry street-life onto two levels.

I really should move to Europe: Paris, Milan, Utrecht, Munich, London, Budapest, Prague... heartbreaking beauty.

Not to mention we traded the town square / main street / city center for a shopping mall in the suburbs.

Reminds me of when the military dug up corpses from the artic so they could get at the 1917 Spanish flu

Bull Run on Lyndale might be better.

Instapaper is a pretty nice evernote alternative

Take a look at hackathon starter kit, you can do javascript in the front and backend, I haven't used it but I think it looks interesting. https://github.com/sahat/hackathon-starter
