I feel like most chronic issues have to be viewed systematically. Often an injury or imbalance in one area over time causes dysfunction in another and although we have physiatrists, they jus don't have enough time to look at the body as a whole and PTs have the time but many just go through the motions.
For chronic pain, I've given the book Trigger Point Workbook by Davies which makes Travell and Simon's trigger point research easily understood by the layman tona few people and many have improved over time. I've seen carpel tunnel, back pain, scoliosis, SI dysfunction, TMJ all improve
Many jobs actually are in San Jose and Sunnyvale. About 45 mins from evergreen which has great schools, safe, big houses on big lots. $1.7M would be 3k sq feet
East bay to the valley is not possible for commute under 2 hours
It's not 1 mile away from Apple, it is 3.5 miles away but this means nothing. There are 7 perfect school district areas in the Palo Alto, MV, Los Altos, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, West San Jose area. These places are in the center of the valley, extremely safe and best commute too.
This neighborhood is probably the 5th or 6th best here. Los Altos same house would go for 3.5M, MV there is just 0 supply, Palo Alto would be around Los Altos, Cupertino 300k more expensive, only west San Jose/Cupertino border is comparable. Apple has been here forever. They have had their hq here forever and same with their 2nd and 3rd largest offices.
That's just not true. They bought this house for $1M 13 years ago. 5 years ago it was worth 1.7M. It's all on public record. It's not overpriced, there is just so low capacity because no one is selling due to property tax prop 13.
We've been a few moments away from world destruction a few times. This was of course one of the biggest but so was that one malfunction when the Soviets believed we had launched a nuclear strike and ordered the same but the soldier declined to do so. Turned out it was an error. Many don't realize just how precarious a world is with ICBM technology. If they did I don't think they would hesitate for 1 minute to destroy NK years ago before they were first able to create mid range missles
They've been hacked 3 times before. Like yahoo waiting years to tell anyone this is just scummy. I hope they make a law sending people to jail over this
This administration won't be doing shit about companies like this. We need to fix the political system if there's to be any hope of justice for these types of crimes.
They are very very cheap, the regulations make up the bulk of their costs. Most regulations are important but the costly ones are not and it takes 10+ years to get approvals due to beuracratic hold ups. Even smoothening those out and keeping exact same safety standards would cut prices and time significantly
That said I am very pro Wind. The American Midwest is a goldmine for that and I'm very excited to see it increase over the next five but I hope they keep the tax credit, wind growth will significantly fall without it
Not true. Nuclear is fantastically expensive in every country regardless of regulations or NIMBYism. Regulatory expense is a minority problem that exacerbates the core issues.
The big problems are mostly competency. A nuclear plant requires huge parts from tons of companies all over the planet. People are always messing it up. The biggest issue is that this huge coordination problem makes everything take way longer, which means almost everyone involved with the plant is sitting around getting paid to do nothing. That's incredibly expensive when the project stretches over a decade.
>... Nuclear is fantastically expensive in every country regardless of regulations or NIMBYism.
Not true. One example is France - they generate over 70% of their power through nuclear:
>...France enjoys one of the lowest electricity prices in Europe; at 14.72 euro cents per kWh, the average cost of electricity in France is 26.5% cheaper than the EU average (20.02 euro cents per kWh).
The per kWh cost of electricity does not correlate well with the actual amount of money paid, particularly for nuclear. The cost of building plants was and is immense, and was heavily subsidized for obvious reasons. There is a reason France is not building more nuclear plants- they are scaling their nuclear energy back 30% over the next 8 years.
Take Flamanville: it's basically the posterchild for expensive nuclear. It's French and huge so it should theoretically be one of the most affordable reactors in the world; the French are nuclear experts. Construction began in 1979 and has was planned to end in 1985.
Instead, it's been delayed until 2019 and the budget has inflated from 3.3 billion euro to 10.5 billion. In USD that's an overnight cost of $4,522 USD/kW not counting financing, and a 40 year construction period. You'd have to be insane to invest in that, and it's one of the cheapest nuclear projects. The overnight cost of advanced nuclear in the US is $6,000/kW[1].
For comparison, the overnight cost of natural gas is $700/kW and wind is $1900/kW (with capacity factor >30%). Nuclear can't compete on price even before the cost of fuel, security and staff are factored in.
Certainly not "fantastically expensive in every country".
>...Construction began in 1979 and has was planned to end in 1985.
Instead, it's been delayed until 2019 ... and a 40 year construction period ...
That seems to be misrepresenting the situation quite a bit. The first 2 reactors came on line in 1986 and 1987 and have produced many terra watt hours of power since then. The third reactor began construction in December 2007 and is a new design which has had problems and cost overruns.
>...For comparison, the overnight cost of natural gas is $700/kW
Unfortunately, the CO2 emissions and methane releases from drilling/processing natural gas might make natural gas as bad for climate change as burning coal. Unfortunately without a major advance in grid storage, there will likely be major increases in the use of natural gas.
Given the political environment in the US, there will likely be little role for nuclear power for at least the next few decades. Instead it will likely be China which builds/deploys nuclear power.
Since Hinkley Point C is forecasted to cost ~£50bn, I don't think that regulation really makes up the bulk of that. Most of that will be for safety measures to ensure that it can run safely. The result is a power plant that produces energy above prices of both renewables and gas.
Good, anyone who has read through the complete and utter disaster of this mess and horrible risk management and avoidance of culpability deployed by the executives would 100% agree. They knew their security was bad, purposefully did nothing and criticized those that argued. They knew data was hacked, did nothing telling no one to change passwords. Only after the breach was made public, did they do anything. Honestly I wish the hammer gets dropped and we see jail time to stop the precedent of gross negligence in handling data and security
It would be really ironic if Marissa Mayer's fear of going to jail for not cooperating with the NSA would turn true. Except she would go to jail for cooperating with the NSA and leaving the backdoors in, which others may have later exploited to cause the data breaches.
I think it would send the right message to every other tech company executive even considering doing back room backdoor deals with the NSA.
Remember that for anyone to go to jail, prosecutors must prosecute. And this will open up space for within-government backroom deals, presumably between the DOJ and security forces. All done under the shadow of whatever the president wants.
Still, less spectacular good things might happen anyway, through civil procedures such as this. Besides, populist calls for for jailings set of my own BS detector. Better if this kind of lawsuit actually gets won or lost on rational grounds and over time becomes a serious incentive to people making business decisions. And, I'd say we have a long way to go before we get to that goal-state.
