nuclear safety is harder than ever to sell. There's
ass-kissing to the
sci-fi community (.pdf, download it), the
instructional video (warning, boring .wmv, > 12

The design lifetimes of
Yucca Mountain and
the

Isolation Pilot Plant won't protect
future
generations from groundwater absorbing transuranic waste (Pu239
and like toxins, deadly when ingested for 240,000 years).
Do you have this stuff in your

get
there safely? On
top of that, the
capacity problem, which looks intractable as long
as we keep relicensing plants.
If I didn't know better, I assume the only way the government could
succeed in getting this done would be to
hoodwink us.

Dan Bricklin on accidents
09/07/2004 08:01 PMDan has written a thoughtful essay that tries to help us learn from
accidents and extreme, intentional accidents (= terrorism). He looks
at Charles Perrow's Normal Accidents and the 9/11 Commission Report
(which he has excerpted helpfully here). Dan draws too many insights
to summarize, but the need for providing flexible, two-way
communication systems so that non-officials can act effectively leaps
out at me. (By coincidence, Dewayne Hendricks today talked about how a
couple of strategically positioned repeaters were able to provide a
forest fire command center with wifi communications access.)...

Hybird Auto Accidents
05/04/2004 03:13 PMRescuers prep for hybrid car accidents: Some interesting
questions here. Are electric motors more dangerous that internal
combustion engines in the event of an accident? What happens if
someone drives one into a lake? Will anyone attempting to rescue the
occupants get shocked?
Hybrids draw power from two sources, typically a gas or diesel
engine combined with an electric motor. The battery powering the
electric motor carries as much as 500 volts, more than 40 times the
strength of a standard battery.
That worries those who must cut into cars to rescue people inside.
"If you can't shut it down, you don't know where the high voltage is,"
said David Dalrymple, an emergency medical technician...

Vast Majority Of Popup Click Throughs
Are Accidents
07/13/2004 10:30 PMFor years, anyone with a bit of common sense has known that pop-up ads
were bad for business. They
piss
people off and studies have even shown that they're
bad for
business generating more negative feelings for the brand than
positive responses. The problem, still, was that advertisers who used
them still swore by them, pointing to the much higher clickthrough
rates than other types of ads. Advertisers used this stat to prove
that, for as much as popups pissed people off and brought them
ill-will, they still "worked." Well, now it's time to disprove that
as well. A new study has shown that approximately
90% of popup clickthroughs are accidental,
caused by people trying to shut down the damn windows so they can get
on with their surfing. This quote says it all: "Achieving an
over-inflated click-through rate might help brands to justify their
spend, but they are only deceiving themselves. The brand, which we
used in our research study, is not only wasting up to 90% of its
budget by paying for unintentional click-throughs, it is also
frustrating and deceiving users."

in the old Saturday Night Live sketch that featured Fernando Lamas,
Ricardo Montalban and/or Cesar Romero. But usually they have more in
common than being British and having once driven a car....
Should The Connection Be Separate From
The Device
Should The Connection Be Separate From
The Device
04/16/2004 05:01 AMFor years, we've been talking about the idea of the
persona
l wireless hub, where you would have a single (small) device that
would connect you with a wireless network - and in turn, that device
would have a personal area wireless connection to connect whatever
other devices to that wireless connection. This way, you could have
the appropriate device for the appropriate situation. Of course, it
would also mean carrying around more gadgets. Still, while this idea
was originally suggested by a company named IXI, since then it's
picked up
fans
like Samsung and Motorola. Well, in something of an update to
that idea, Charlie Demerjian at the Inquirer is pointing out that the
carriers are screwed up in their thinking by pushing increasingly
complex mobile phones that bolt on various additional functions that
don't necessarily make sense. He suggests this is completely
backwards from what consumers want:
smaller phones with
longer battery life - while these "smarter" phones are generally
larger with shorter battery life (and a lot more expensive - often
requiring a larger subsidy from the carrier). Of course, from the
perspective of carriers, they want to encourage more network usage to
up their revenue from each user. Unlike so many complaining article,
he also comes up with a perfectly good suggestion, playing off the
personal wireless hub idea. Instead of focusing on selling a fancier
and fancier phone, he suggests the carriers just give out a cheap
little wireless device that can easily connect to just about any
device and automatically gives it wireless capabilities (on their
network, of course). This lets users still get the cheap, small, long
life battery they want, while also encourage people to use even more
data by connecting up more appropriate data devices. Of course, he
suggests all this as if no one else has thought of it - and (as
mentioned) Samsung and Motorola are moving forward with the idea - and
are even trying to merge the idea of this separate device directly
into an inexpensive phone (which makes more sense) which can then
connect locally (using Bluetooth, I imagine) to the appropriate
device. I don't think the carriers are really against such an idea,
it's just that the technology is not yet ready for prime time.

Breaking out those Reviews into a
separate list
Breaking out those Reviews into a
separate list
09/21/2004 10:14 AMSo is the micro-content (that makes up a list of Movie Reviews)
called Lists or Movie Reviews?
I think the later.
Many people have asked me why Lists aren't a kind of micro-content.
They are - but a low-order effect one. A highly unstructured, not
very interesting kind of micro-content.
But yet - they could certainly benefit from having a permalink and
aggregators that understood them.
But all lists are made of something - and it's the something that
matters - not the lists themselves. I often call lists -
blogrolls.
Well - whatever.
Jason Kottke - the clear leader when it coems to deploying
micro-content has collected all his movie reviews.
Coolio - dude.
Here's Jason's
post.....
I've redesigned the movies section of this site. All Most of the
movies I've seen since April 2003 are listed on one page with my
rating and an excerpt of my review (if there is one). You can also
view them sorted alphabetically and by rating. Ratings are
color-coded...green means good, yellow means OK, and red means
not-so-good. When I have something to say about a movie, it'll appear
as usual on the front page and on the movies page, but if I don't,
it'll just be added to the movies page. Got rid of the monthly archive
pages because they weren't needed anymore. The design is a little
unfinished, but it's better to launch now than to tweak myself into
paralysis. I'll fix it later.
And of course, all this was done fairly easily with Movable Type
and a few plugins (ExtraFields, Compare, MTSQL, and MTIfEmpty). I'm
continually amazed at how flexible MT is. With all the plugins
available for it now, it's pretty much its own little scripting
language/environment, which depending on your perspective, is either
fantastic or so very wrong.
[kottke.org]
NOTE: Go to Jason's original post for his links. I'm getting tired
of copying over links - since MT doesn't support copy and paste.

18 Separate Security Updates !!! Just
Blame Dell
18 Separate Security Updates !!! Just
Blame Dell
10/15/2002 07:15 AM18 Separate Security Updates !!! Just Blame Dell
If you want to know another reason why we have such extreme security
problems with MS Windows, here's one: Blame Dell. That's right
Dell. No I don't mean Dell the company but the PC manufacturer in
general. Here's what just happened to me:
Helped a friend buy a new computer. Brand new. From Dell. Not
surplus or pre-manufactured but NEW.
Set it up.
Went to Windows Update and found 18 Separate Security Updates.
No this isn't a surprise to me. What Microsoft does is release 1
operating system every few years and then multiple updates, service
packs and fixes so that the customer has to do the update themselves.
As far as I am concerned, Dell just sold me an obsolete, buggy,
insecure product. Why did I have to update it? Why didn't Dell take
care of it for me? I (my friend actually) just spent $1,400 for a new
Latitude laptop and then I had to spend 2 + hours bringing it up to
date. That's just wrong.
NOTE: And just to be clear, the oldest of these security updates was
October, 2001.
Sidebar, Feel Free to Ignore: When is the high tech industry as a
whole going to figure this stuff out and start realizing that
computers and software are just products like any other and the time
honored concepts like customer service, quality and warranties
actually matter? As I've said before it's going to take a class
action lawsuit to bring companies into reality. And it will happen
within the next 3 years or so I suspect.
Sure I'll admit that this is Microsoft's fault ultimately, for not
rolling out new versions of the operating system with all patches
integrated but the Dell and all the manufacturers could band together
and say "We're not gonna take it !".
Sigh. What else can I say but:
As Dumb as Dell.
(And don't even get me started on the fact that Dell True Mobile 1150
integrated WiFi cards won't connect to standard LinkSys WAP 11 access
points. And when I googled for it, I found that I am NOT the only
one. I strongly recommend that you skip Dell WiFi hardware and use
LinkSys instead. That was another 2 hours out of my life I'll never
get back. And it still doesn't work. Anyone have any thoughts?)
Can Technology Separate Work Life From
Personal?
Can Technology Separate Work Life From
Personal?
12/03/2003 04:58 PMA very interesting opinion piece talking about the separation of work
life from personal life and wondering
if technology can help to differentiate the
two. Normally, people blame technology for blurring the two, but
maybe it's time to see if technology can be molded the other way. The
"problem" is that technology keeps us always connected - so it's hard
to let go. You have laptops and pagers and smart phones that all let
you stay connected away from the office. So, David Berlind is
wondering if technology can be made intelligent enough to distinguish
what mode your in and respond accordingly. While it is sometimes nice
to be able to receive email on a pager, it can become overwhelming.
Plus, what if you want to receive personal emails on the pager, but
not work emails at certain times. For example, over the weekend you
don't want to receive work related email, but still should receive
personal emails. At the same time, if there really is important news
coming from work, you still want to see that. So, the system would
need to be smart enough to understand (a) what mode you're in and (b)
whether or not the particular message is important enough to go across
one mode into the other. It's an interesting idea that I haven't seen
discussed anywhere else, but makes a lot of sense. One of the nice
things about technology is that (in theory) we have the power to make
it do what we want. If that technology seems to be taking over our
lives, then why not reprogram the technology to not take over our
lives?
