It's inside the 90 day window where you're supposed to have voter rolls set in stone. I agree we should strike them from the roll, but at the same time why did they wait until after the deadline to make this move? Youngkin has been governor for 2 years now, it should have been a higher priority.
He already passed legislation increasing the frequency of check/removal of deceased voters from monthly to weekly and it seems like this would also have been on his radar.

How Many Continents Are There? You May Not Like the Answers. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/30/science/earth-continents-geology-research.html?smid=nytcore-android-share

The world is split up into continents, there are seven in all.
And if you get the gist, we’re going to make a list,
From biggest to small …
Your kids may have come home from school singing this infectious ditty, or another like it. But are there really seven continents?
Anyone with a map can see that Asia and Europe are connected. They are often called Eurasia for that reason. The divide is pretty arbitrary, more culturally than scientifically defined. So, is it fair to say that there are actually only six continents?
That is just the first slippery step on a well-oiled slope. What about North America and Asia?
They are connected by the Bering Sea Shelf, once dry land crossed by humans and flooded only in the geologically recent past. Technically speaking, that makes Asia, North America and Europe all one continent. Does that mean there are only five?
Other experts contend that five, six and seven are wrong and argue in favor of eight continents. There are even those who go as far as to say there are only two.
Hiding within the simplicity of the song, there is an illusion of general agreement about the number of continents.
The dispute arises in part because there are really two types of continents: Those recognized by cultures around the world, and those recognized by geologists. Cultures can define a continent any way they want, while geologists have to use a definition. And geological research in recent years has made defining continental boundaries less simple than it might have once seemed as researchers find evidence of unexpected continental material.
“This triggers a lot of interest because there are significant implications for our understanding of the mechanisms of continent separation, ocean formation and plate tectonics,” said Valentin Rime, a geologist at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland. He added, “But after the excitement comes rigorous checking and debate to make sure the evidence is solid.”
Geologically speaking, to be a continent, a bit of the planet needs to have four things:
A high elevation relative to the ocean floor.
A wide range of igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks rich in silica.
A crust thicker than the surrounding oceanic crust.
Well-defined limits around a large enough area.
The first three requirements are found in just about every geology textbook. But not so with the fourth. What is “large enough,” or how “well-defined” the limits of a potential continent need to be, are matters that are less often discussed, unless a geologist is studying bits of the planet that are on the cusp of being continental.
“Anything big enough to change the map of the world is important,” said Nick Mortimer, a geologist with the New Zealand government-owned GNS Science research institute. “Labeling and identifying part of the Earth as a continent, even a small, thin and submerged one, is more informative than just leaving a map blank.”
This creates problems for numbering continents.
Consider Iceland, which sits atop a rift that stretches around Earth, the Atlantic branch of the mid-oceanic ridge. Volcanic activity there slowly separates the tectonic plates on which North America and Europe rest. Most of the ridge lies deep beneath the ocean. But in Iceland, it sits above sea level.
Another enigma is that the volcanoes there often spit out lava made of molten continental crust, even though Iceland is thousands of miles from any continents. Some geologists therefore suspect Iceland is not a lonely island at sea, but actually part of a continent (although as to which one, that can get complicated, too).
That notion finds support off Africa’s eastern coast.
A mid-oceanic ridge in the Red Sea is dividing Africa from Asia. This divorce is happening at the rate at which fingernails grow. Along most of the ridge, the separation is straightforward. But the separation is much messier where the Red Sea meets the Gulf of Aden. In place of an obvious point of thinning where ocean crust is forming, the continental crust between Africa and Asia is splintering into hundreds of pieces. In that location, there is no obvious point where Africa ends and Asia begins.
“It is like very strong and very thick toffee getting stretched out, but not snapping,” said Gillian Foulger, a geologist at Durham University in England.
Dr. Rime and colleagues recently published a study in the journal Geology showing that Iceland, too, has heavily stretched toffee beneath its surrounding seas. Instead of a clean break between North America and Europe, there appears to be a complex mix of magma and continental crust fragments scattered in a path between the two land masses that runs right through Iceland. Just like the point where the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden meet, there is no clear point where North America ends and Europe begins.
Of course, if Africa is still attached to Asia through the Gulf of Aden and North America is still attached to Europe, this kind of messes up the “Seven Continents” song. If the crust between these continents is stretching but not snapping, is it well-defined enough to identify the two land masses as separate continents? Or are they still one?
Then there is New Zealand, which really wrecks things for our kids.
Although New Zealand and Australia are often grouped together, they are not on the same continent. While Australia is widely considered to be a continent in its own right, the notion that New Zealand is part of its own continent, Zealandia, is a newer argument.
Submerged shelves that rise high above the ocean floor stretch for miles far beyond the tiny island nation. Along the edges of those shelves, there is deep water and oceanic crust that is thinner than the crust beneath the shelves. Drill cores, seabed dredge samples and rocks collected from the region show that the giant mass that New Zealand sits on is composed of igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks rich in silica, just as is the case with all other continents.
While few think of Zealandia as a continent in cultural terms, “it is increasingly being recognized as a geological one,” Dr. Mortimer said.
But not everyone agrees, and they point to that meddlesome fourth criterion ignored in most textbooks. The crust making up Zealandia is between 10 and 30 kilometers thick, making it thicker than the seven kilometers of most ocean crust. But it is not as thick as other continents’ crust, typically between 30 and 46 kilometers. This makes the boundaries between Zealandia and the ocean less well defined and more difficult to discern. Size creates issues too. At 4.9 million square kilometers, the proffered Zealandia is much smaller than Australia, which itself is only 7.7 million square kilometers.
Then there is the fact that Zealandia is mostly submerged. Being above water is not part of the geological definition of a continent, but it does seem to matter culturally, because people are used to thinking of continents as dry land.
Geologists are still arguing what these discoveries about continental and oceanic crust mean for the number of continents. What is certain is that the research is revealing that there is more than one way for two continents to split apart, and that the split is not always clean or even complete.
“There are basically only two major continents,” Dr. Rime said. “Antarctica and everything else, since South America is connected to North America through Panama, North America is connected to Asia through the Bering Strait, and Asia is connected to Europe, Africa and Australia through the Urals, the Sinai and Indonesia, respectively.”
Dr. Mortimer doesn’t agree.
“Zealandia is separated from Australia by a 25-kilometer-wide, 3,600-meter-deep ocean trough,” he said. “Based on Valentin’s logic, that would mean there are actually three continents.”
But he acknowledged some uncertainty, adding, “Unless the trough is found to be very deep continental crust, like the Iceland situation, in which case Zealandia would be a part of Australia.”
And then there is the possibility that Iceland is sitting on top of its own large chunk of free-floating crust as perhaps continent No. 9.
“If true, ‘Icelandia’ would join a growing fellowship of continents large and small,” Dr. Foulger said.
Culturally, this research and the arguments it provokes change nothing — which is a good thing, because if there were only two continents, there might not be an infectious tune for your children to sing.

Wisconsin Pizzeria Error Led Dozens to Eat Cannabis Oil Pizza
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/29/us/thc-oil-pizza-wisconsin.html?smid=nytcore-android-share
By Hank Sanders
Oct. 29, 2024
At least five people sought medical attention and dozens were reportedly affected last week after a Wisconsin pizza parlor accidentally used cannabis oil on some of its pies, officials said.
On Oct. 22, a man operating the shop, Famous Yeti’s Pizza in Stoughton, Wis., about 20 miles southeast of Madison, ran out of oil while making pizzas. So he went to an industrial kitchen nearby shared by multiple businesses and took oil that belonged to a different business, Public Health Madison and Dane County said in a statement.
“There was a label on the cap that had manufacturer’s information, use by date, and noted it contained Delta-9 cannabis,” the health department said, referring to a scientific term used to describe THC. “The operator did not notice the label on the cap.”
The oil, which the health department said was a “legally purchased product,” was being used as “food-grade hemp” by another business, the owners of Famous Yeti’s, Caitlin and Cale Ryan, said in an email. They “began investigating what might have occurred” when one of its owners “started experiencing unexpected physical symptoms after eating the pizza,” the statement said.
The oil contained THC, which is the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana and has “intoxicating effects, meaning it can temporarily alter a person’s mood, thoughts, and perceptions,” according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
In Wisconsin, marijuana is not legal. But the oil that was used in the pizza “doesn’t face the same laws and regulations as marijuana because it comes from the hemp plant,” the health department said. “The oil can be used to make everything from cookies to condiments.”
On Thursday Stoughton emergency officials contacted the health department after they had “transported” five people with a “possible food-borne illness exposure,” the department said. The contaminated pizzas had been served from Oct. 22 until Oct. 24.
Famous Yeti’s served “60 contaminated pizzas,” one of the store’s owners told WMTV, a local television station. The restaurant closed on Friday to “deep clean the restaurant,” a statement on its Facebook page said.
The total number of people who were hospitalized as a result of the contaminated pizza and the extent of the injuries was not immediately clear. The health department did not immediately respond to a question seeking that information. But the department said it had “received dozens of reports” from people feeling affected and alluded to multiple people having been sent to the hospital.
“Possible THC-related symptoms include dizziness, increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, nausea, vomiting, anxiety, panic attacks, paranoia, hallucinations, short term memory impacts, time distortion, and sleepiness,” the department said. “Keep in mind each person’s reaction may be different, and the concentration of THC in the pizza can vary by piece.”
The comments on Famous Yeti’s social media posts were overwhelmingly positive. Many people expressed appreciation for the business’s openness about its mistake and expression of regret. A few customers also — possibly in jest — saw the news as even more reason to patronize the restaurant.
“When i come and I wink twice,” one commenter wrote, “I want that pizza alright lol.”

Why Trump Has an Edge With These 11 Michigan Voters — Even Though They Don’t Like Him
Why Trump Has an Edge With These 11 Michigan Voters — Even Though They Don’t Like Him https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/10/29/opinion/focus-group-michigan-voters.html?smid=nytcore-android-share
As the votes were counted on election night 2016, the first big sign of trouble for Hillary Clinton came from Michigan, arguably the most Democratic of the presidential swing states. In 2020, Joe Biden flipped it back to the Democrats. Now, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump appear to be in a dead heat in Michigan, and it’s once again crucial for winning the presidency. For our latest Times Opinion focus group, we gathered a cross-section of Michigan voters to assess the race in the home stretch.
The takeaway isn’t especially positive for Ms. Harris.
Our five independents, four Democrats and two Republicans were clear on a few points: Most want significant change in America under the next president, and the bulk of them cite the economy as their top issue and care more about the candidates’ policies than their values. One voter was troubled by Ms. Harris’s support for arms to Israel and is leaning toward Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate. Others thought Mr. Trump didn’t understand what it meant to struggle financially.
Perhaps most worrisome for Ms. Harris, nine of our 11 participants thought she would pursue policies similar to Mr. Biden’s. Muhammad, a 25-year-old software engineer and registered independent who voted for Mr. Biden in 2020, said he was struck by a recent TV ad showing Ms. Harris on “The View” saying she could not think of a thing she would have done differently from Mr. Biden during their administration. For him and others, Harris's problems boil down to two words: "Change" and "Biden."
“I understand not pushing Biden under the bus, but she needs to be more authentic and actually take responsibility for the failures of her administration. She was the border czar, and that is a failure. All she needed to do was be authentic about that,” Muhammad said.
Some participants were enthusiastic about Ms. Harris’s energy and ideas and thought that as a woman, she represented change. But as for who will win Michigan and the presidency, these voters thought the race was trending toward Trump, even though several of them saw him as dangerous and unhinged.
graduated and are out in the job market, and I see how difficult and how competitive it is to get a good job these days. You can go to college and still not be able to get the jobs that you were once promised were going to be out there, with benefits and health insurance.

I would just like to see some plan of action of moving forward with the economy. What is that clear path of how our economy is going to grow?

Muhammad, tell me why you said immigration was a major issue for you.
Muhammad, 25, Asian, independent, software engineer
The American dream is becoming less and less of a reality for most people, at least in my generation. So we definitely need to do something about illegal immigration. One side is denying it’s a problem. You need to take care of Americans first rather than paying for their hotel just because they crossed illegally.
Moderator, Kristen Soltis Anderson
Peter and then Aaron, tell me a little bit more about democracy.
Peter, 54, white, independent, stage actor
Jan. 6 was the big deciding factor for me. I’ve voted for plenty of Republicans. I’ve voted for Democrats. But he tried to overturn the peaceful transition of power. We have someone who just completely denies it. I don’t see how we move forward. I don’t.
Aaron, 54, Black, Democrat, janitor
Since when do we let felons run for jobs in the White House? I don’t understand it. It’s hard to even get beyond that. And the things that he says are just mean-spirited. I didn’t know that we could let people who act like children and hold top offices in our political government. A candidate openly trying to get unchecked power is just unsettling. And he’s clear. He’s not lying. He’s literally telling us what he wants to do.
Angie, 54, white, independent, I.T.
Just because someone wasn’t convicted in a court of law of something doesn’t mean the other side isn’t just as guilty of crimes as well. It’s just really concerning that each side can use that power to abuse it and try to do whatever it is they want to do and lie so forthrightly about it, whether it was Covid or anything else.

Peter, you said “values.”
Peter, 54, white, independent, stage actor
Policywise, I voted for plenty of Republicans in the past. I just think this man is all for himself. He would sell any one of us out, including the country. Valuewise, I’m not a huge fan of Kamala Harris, but I’m leaning that way because I just couldn’t find myself voting for Trump.
Moderator, Patrick Healy
And Erayna, you said “policy.”
Erayna, 27, multiracial, independent, unemployed
I was just thinking about the whole Project 2025 thing and Roe v. Wade and so many other issues. It’s going to come down to what is right and what is wrong.
Moderator, Patrick Healy
You all live in Michigan, an important swing state. What TV ads do you recall seeing that have made an impression one way or another?
Peter, 54, white, independent, stage actor
There’s one about the Ten Commandments, where they talk about voting your conscience. They put the commandment up, “Do not commit adultery,” and then they show the picture of Trump with the porn stars. “Thou shalt not steal,” and then felonies in New York. A lot of Christians want to vote for him, but they’re voting for a man who couldn’t care less about the Commandments.
Muhammad, 25, Asian, independent, software engineer
That ad of Harris on “The View.” It’s not pushing me to Trump, but it’s pushing me away from Kamala.
Ameera, 24, white, Democrat, lawyer
Trump actually apologized for his Detroit comment a few days ago. Detroit’s just been going uphill in the past few years. I’ve seen all these improvements. Now the QLine is free. If we see these improvements in other areas in the country, I think that’d be great. Do I think Kamala will be able to do that? I don’t think she’s really made any of her stances clear enough.
Michael W., 30, Black, Democrat, fast-food employee
I don’t think she would be able to implement Detroit into other places.
Moderator, Kristen Soltis Anderson
Some of you are in a union or a union household. Harris has gotten the endorsements of the A.F.L.-C.I.O., N.E.A., S.E.I.U., U.A.W., and Trump has the backing of the Fraternal Order of Police, the National Border Control Council. The International Association of Firefighters and the Teamsters have chosen not to endorse any candidate. How does a union endorsement affect your thought process?
Peter, 54, white, independent, stage actor
I’m in a union. I vote the way I feel. Joe Biden was the first president ever to walk a union picket line. If people are going to assume that she’s going to do things pretty much the way he did it, then we have to then assume that she’s going to be pro-union.
Aaron, 54, Black, Democrat, janitor
I was in a union when I was working, and I’m fourth-generation G.M. Once upon a time, I think the union backing meant everything. But never once have I voted because the union endorsed somebody. I voted because I felt that way.

As people, as presidential candidates, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump — do you like them?
Michael B., 35, white, independent, unemployed
As a person, a human being, I think he’s awful. But as a president and as a businessman, it seems like when he was in office, whether or not I liked what he got done, he did get stuff done. Some of our foreign relationships with unsavory leaders were actually really friendly. I don’t know if they were afraid of him. No one in our past has really ever had that effect in the office.
Angie, 54, white, independent, I.T.
Personally, I don’t like the man. But I think that his past record showed he could get things done. He does have a business sense. He did do what he said he was going to do. And I really believe if it hadn’t been for Covid, he probably would have been re-elected the next go-round.
Moderator, Kristen Soltis Anderson
A final question: Regardless of how you’ll vote, how many of you think that Donald Trump is likely to be the next president of the United States? Show of hands. [Ameera, Muhammad, Michael B., Michael W., Nicole and Sarah raise a hand for Trump; Aaron and Erayna raise a hand for Harris.]

A Harris Presidency Is the Only Way to Stay Ahead of A.I.
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/29/opinion/artificial-intelligence-harris-trump-election.html?smid=nytcore-android-share
By Thomas L. Friedman
Opinion Columnist
Oct. 29, 2024
There are many reasons I was deeply disappointed that The Washington Post’s owner, Jeff Bezos, chose to kill his newspaper’s editorial endorsing Kamala Harris for president, but none more than the fact that Bezos loves science. And this election coincides with one of the greatest scientific turning points in human history: the birth of artificial general intelligence, or A.G.I., which is likely to emerge in the next four years and will require our next president to pull together a global coalition to productively, safely and compatibly govern computers that will soon have minds of their own superior to our own.
Donald Trump — who neglected to even appoint a science adviser until over 18 months into his presidency — is intellectually and temperamentally unsuited to assemble any such global alliance. His administration hastened a vaccine for Covid-19 with one hand and then fostered doubt about using it with the other when it met with a conservative anti-vaccine backlash.
Today, Trump’s first priority is not capitalizing on the tremendous opportunities that will come from America leading in the use of A.G.I. nor building a global coalition to govern it, but to impose higher tariffs on our allies to block their exports of cars and toys and other goods to the United States. The only technology Trump seems to be deeply interested in is Truth Social, his own version of X. Indeed, since Trump has described himself as a “very stable genius,” he probably doubts that there could even be an artificial intelligence greater than his own.
Kamala Harris, given her background in law enforcement, connections to Silicon Valley and the work she has already done on A.I. in the past four years, is up to this challenge, which is a key reason she has my endorsement for the presidency.
That said, one of the many oddities of the 2024 presidential election campaign is that it coincided with, but largely ignored, this blossoming of polymathic artificial general intelligence, which is going to change pretty much everything.
That is because polymathic artificial intelligence is not just smarter than humans in a single domain. It will have simultaneously mastered physics, chemistry, biology, materials science, mathematics, medicine, astronomy, Shakespeare, art history and a host of other fields better than any human ever could and be able to see patterns cutting across all of them in ways no human ever could — so it can both ask questions and provide answers that no human ever could.
Yet the implications for education, jobs, innovation, medical care, economic abundance and the super-empowerment of individuals that A.I. will bring did not figure into the presidential or vice-presidential debates or any town hall that I read about. It is as if the automobile was just invented and reporters and candidates preferred to continue discussing the future of horses.
I am writing a book that partly deals with this subject and have benefited from my tutorials with Craig Mundie, the former chief research and strategy officer for Microsoft who still advises the company. He is soon coming out with a book of his own related to the longer-term issues and opportunities of A.G.I., written with Eric Schmidt, the former Google C.E.O., and Henry Kissinger, who died last year and worked on the book right up to the end of his life.
It is titled “Genesis: Artificial Intelligence, Hope, and the Human Spirit.” The book invokes the Bible’s description of the origin of humanity because the authors believe that our A.I. moment is an equally fundamental turning point for our species.
I agree. We have become Godlike as a species in two ways: We are the first generation to intentionally create a computer with more intelligence than God endowed us with. And we are the first generation to unintentionally change the climate with our own hands.
The problem is we have become Godlike without any agreement among us on the Ten Commandments — on a shared value system that should guide the use of our newfound powers. We need to fix that fast. And no one is better positioned to lead that challenge than the next U.S. president, for several reasons.
For starters, Mundie pointed out to me in an interview, the hardware and software that drive artificial intelligence is being led by American companies but is improving faster than originally anticipated.
“It is quite conceivable that we will achieve polymathic artificial general intelligence in the next three to five years,” said Mundie (who is on the board of Planet Word, the museum founded by my wife), “so it is also likely that our next president, and certainly the one after, will have to cope with the fundamental societal changes that will result.”
Many of those changes should be awesome, starting with the abundance that we will create across a broad spectrum, from medical breakthroughs to agricultural productivity to a faster path to fusion energy. (Note: The engineers behind Google DeepMind’s amazing A.I. protein-folding technology, AlphaFold, just received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.) Innovating, designing and manufacturing anything will become smarter, cheaper and quicker, all at the same time. We are on the cusp of a new Renaissance. And not just for rich nations.
Think of an illiterate farmer in India who will be able to speak into a smartphone and receive world-class advice, not just in his own language but his own dialect, on which seeds to plant when, with precisely how much water and fertilizer — updated and informed every second by the experience of every other farmer in his region, his nation and the world planting that crop. Or think about how every doctor, surgeon, nurse, architect, engineer, assembly line worker, student, manager, soldier, police officer and teacher will have a personal “A.I. agent” to improve productivity.
Alas, though, also think about how much more empowered criminals looking to commit cybercrimes and terrorists or dictators looking to develop their own bioweapons and disinformation campaigns will also become.
And that just covers how humans will use these new A.I. tools. There is also the challenge of ensuring that superintelligent machines will remain aligned with human values and interests as they use these powers to go off in their own directions.
As Kissinger, Schmidt and Mundie wrote in their book: “Machines with the ability to define their own objectives are not far away. If we are to have any hope of keeping up with the risks involved,” — that is, guaranteeing that the machine contributions are only and always symbiotic with human advancement — “we must respond and act within the shortest conceivable timeline.”
But we cannot depend on humans overseeing the machines, Mundie said in our interview, “because the machines will outsmart them.” Instead, the proper “moral and ethical groundings aligned with human values have to be built into every smart machine’s DNA.” That will require new understandings among the family of nations on those basic values and how to monitor and enforce them.
In sum, the authors explained, we face two huge, looming “alignment problems.” They are the “technical alignment of human values and intentions with the actions of A.G.I. and the diplomatic alignment of humans and their fellow humans” to act together to achieve that. It has to be a global endeavor. We cannot have our A.I. systems operating on the Ten Commandments while Russia’s operate on Putin’s gangster values.
true regarding A.G.I. the morning after the voting is over: Polymathic artificial general intelligence offers us huge, unimaginable opportunities to enable people to live longer, healthier and more abundant lives. It offers us huge risks that cannot be anticipated. We don’t fully understand the extent of either. So, we need to find globally trusted ways to control those risks from A.G.I. while driving incessantly forward to garner the benefits and opportunities. And it is all happening faster than you think.
All of which is to say that if we elect a president next week who is not up to managing this five-point challenge, then the machines are already way smarter than we are.

The package is received by USPS 5 fucking days ago. Three days later, it gets sent to North Carolina, and it's been just sitting there since then and now has an ETA of Friday: 7 days after having been sent.
How is this possible? Is it because of the volume of mail in ballots?

They made one of the great urban planning decisions of all time and just bulldozed core areas of all cities and built proper streets with good roads, sidewalks, cross walks etc then areas for proper housing, business, parks, etc. If you go to most developing countries they totally don't do this.
They restricted internal migration so even though the biggest cities got overcrowded it wasn't 25% as bad as furking a shithole like India or Indonesia

At Three Mile Island, a Test of Nuclear Power’s Promise
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/30/business/energy-environment/three-mile-island-nuclear-energy.html?smid=nytcore-android-share
By Rebecca F. ElliottPhotographs by George Etheredge for The New York Times
Reporting from the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant near Harrisburg, Pa.
Oct. 30, 2024
The concrete cooling towers that rise from a sliver of land south of Pennsylvania’s capital became symbols nearly a half-century ago of the risks of nuclear energy.
Now, a plan to restart one of the two reactors at Three Mile Island is at the leading edge of efforts to greatly expand the country’s reliance on atomic fission to meet the growing power demands of homes, businesses and data centers.
Refurbishing this aging plant — a fenced-off maze of pipes, valves, pumps and turbines in the middle of the Susquehanna River — depends on the financial backing of Microsoft. The technology giant has agreed to buy all of the electricity the plant generates, most likely starting in 2028, for 20 years.
Three Mile Island’s proposed revival reflects how vastly the perspectives on nuclear power in the United States have shifted since a cooling failure led to the partial meltdown of one of the island’s reactors in 1979.
Once the target of fierce opposition, nuclear power plants are now coveted for generating large amounts of electricity around the clock without releasing the emissions that contribute to climate change.
What’s less clear is whether expanding U.S. nuclear capacity will pencil out economically.
Resuscitating the Three Mile Island reactor that didn’t suffer a partial meltdown amounts to an early test of whether an industry known for blowing timelines and budgets can deliver on its promises.
Joseph Dominguez, chief executive of Constellation Energy, which bought the reactor in 1999, is confident that he is laying the groundwork not just to bring Three Mile Island back to life but also to add further to the company’s nuclear power fleet, the largest in the country.
“Twelve months from now, Constellation will have started on the path towards building new reactors,” Mr. Dominguez said in a recent interview.
No reactor set to close permanently has been brought back online in the United States, and only three new ones have been completed in the past quarter-century. The last two, built in Georgia, arrived seven years late and cost around $35 billion, more than twice as much as planned. Others have fared even worse: Utilities spent roughly $9 billion on two nuclear reactors in South Carolina before abandoning the project in 2017.
If Constellation and others succeed in scaling up nuclear power — currently around 19 percent of the U.S. electricity mix — the result would largely be due to the financial backing of some of the world’s most valuable companies. These plants would also be eligible for federal tax credits.
Microsoft is effectively paying Constellation to bring Three Mile Island back online, while Google and Amazon recently struck deals with start-ups developing smaller reactors that they hope will power up in the 2030s.
All three tech giants pledged to decarbonize their operations, but their data centers are consuming huge amounts of energy, making those goals more difficult to meet.
If this proves to be another false start for the nuclear industry, it will mean all the money in the world wasn’t enough to overcome the technological and regulatory hurdles to expanding the use of fission, in which atoms are split to create heat and make steam that is used to generate electricity.
“It’s an industry with a really substantial burden of proof based on all of the disappointments — all of the very expensive disappointments,” said Peter A. Bradford, who served on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission during the partial meltdown at Three Mile Island in March 1979.
It was then that America began to fall out of love with nuclear power.
Ken Bryan was on the island, working the night shift, when the telephone rang. It was just after 4 a.m., and alarms were sounding in Unit 2, the newer of the island’s two reactors. The warnings came so quickly — hundreds of them — that the control-room printer couldn’t keep up.
It later became clear that a valve designed to regulate pressure in the reactor had become stuck in an open position, allowing cooling water to escape as steam. The core overheated, and the plant released radioactive material.
“The reactor’s supposed to get hot, but not that hot,” Mr. Bryan, 80, said in an interview.
Some six miles away, Patricia Longenecker was asleep on the farm she shared with her husband and two young children. Hours later, she heard the news come over the radio, and soon it was just about all her neighbors could talk about.
“There isn’t a person in this room this evening who hasn’t asked the question, ‘How much radiation has my family received?’” she would testify that spring, during a state hearing at her children’s elementary school. “How is it going to affect our health?”
Studies ultimately found that the radiation had a “negligible” effect on people’s physical health and the environment, according to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Public backlash was swift, however — and grew after the 1986 accident at the Chernobyl nuclear plant in Ukraine. Facing steep construction costs and heightened public opposition, dozens of planned reactor projects were canceled.
Three Mile Island’s undamaged reactor, down for refueling during the accident, remained offline for six years. It resumed operations in 1985 over the objections of residents and activists, providing power for nearly 34 years before shutting down in 2019 as utilities opted for cheaper electricity from natural gas plants.
By early 2023, Constellation was exploring whether to fuel it up again as long-flat U.S. electricity demand was poised to rise.
In addition, the dangers posed by climate change have become more visible in the wildfires scorching the West and the hurricanes buffeting the Southeast.
Nuclear power had also grown more popular, with 56 percent of U.S. adults favoring new plants, up from 43 percent in 2016, according to Pew Research Center surveys.
“The trade-off is: Are you concerned about the dangers of nuclear power, or are you more concerned about the dangers of climate change?” said Patrick McDonnell, who previously led Pennsylvania’s Department of Environmental Protection. “Climate change is the biggest issue we face.”
Last fall, an energy technology company, Holtec International, said it was formally seeking federal permission to restart the Palisades nuclear plant on the edge of Lake Michigan near Kalamazoo, Mich. Palisades had shut down just a year earlier.
Within months, Microsoft and Constellation were in talks to revive the Three Mile Island reactor. Microsoft had committed to being “carbon negative” by 2030, but its emissions climbed 29 percent between its 2020 and 2023 fiscal years — and its energy needs are only rising.
Goldman Sachs projects that U.S. power demand will grow more than 2 percent a year on average through the end of the decade, with data centers consuming around 8 percent of the country’s electricity by 2030, up from roughly 3 percent now.
The day Constellation announced in September that it would spend around $1.6 billion to restart Three Mile Island — a plant big enough to power more than 700,000 homes and employ upward of 700 people — the company’s stock rose 22 percent.
Mr. Bryan, now living in South Carolina, read about Constellation’s plans on a Facebook group for Three Mile Island retirees. “That’s wonderful,” he thought.
For Ms. Longenecker, who still lives on the same farm, the news was more difficult. “We thought this was behind us,” said the 81-year-old, who worries history will repeat at Three Mile Island.
Constellation and Microsoft haven’t disclosed the financial terms of their deal, but the investment bank Jefferies estimated that Microsoft may have agreed to pay $110 to $115 per megawatt-hour, or nearly double the market rate for wholesale electricity.
“In their wildest dreams, Joe never thought that he could get the offtake agreement he got from Microsoft,” said Jigar Shah, director of the Energy Department’s loan programs office, referring to Mr. Dominguez, Constellation’s chief executive.
From across the Susquehanna River, Three Mile Island looks much as it did when it was operating, only there’s no water vapor billowing from the cooling towers.
Inside, the turbine building is cool and largely empty, the quiet interrupted by the low rumble of an air compressor and the chatter of valves. When the plant is running, it can be around 80 degrees inside and so loud it’s necessary to shout.
Constellation anticipates that the reactor vessel won’t require any repairs, and the steam generators — costly equipment that help produce electricity — were replaced about 15 years ago. The company had them inspected in May and said it found no corrosion.
The main power transformers that connect the plant to the grid will need to be replaced at a cost of around $100 million. The plant is also getting a new name: the Crane Clean Energy Center.
“We know how to run this reactor, so as long as the equipment is in good shape, the level of complexity here is — I would describe it as significantly lower than building a new reactor,” Mr. Dominguez said.
Unexpected hurdles could arise, and meaningfully expanding nuclear capacity would require not only reviving shuttered reactors but also building new ones.
Just one reactor besides Palisades and Three Mile Island is considered to be in good enough shape for revival: NextEra Energy’s Duane Arnold plant near Cedar Rapids, Iowa, which shut down in 2020.
The company is “very interested” in restarting it, NextEra’s chief executive, John W. Ketchum, said this month. Still, he noted that “new resources need to be built to meet new demand.”
To make it more economically feasible to build reactors, companies will need to manufacture many of them rather than one-off models, the Energy Department has said. Adding new reactors to existing nuclear sites would further reduce costs and other hurdles.
Mr. Dominguez said Constellation was exploring with clients what such an undertaking would entail, including who would shoulder certain risks.
“We’ll pick a technology that we think is being successfully deployed by others and where we have a chance to effectively buy the next, call it the next six, units from a company that’s already built the first six,” Mr. Dominguez said.
Some investors remain wary.
“We’re going to need new nuclear,” said Bobby Edemeka, a portfolio manager at investment manager Jennison Associates, which holds around $300 million in Constellation stock. But, he added, “I personally won’t be investing in those companies that are building new nuclear until the industry has proven that it’s possible to get these done on time and on budget.”

Let’s say you walk into a local grocer like Ralphs or its off-brand East Coast variants Kroger or Harris Teeter. Your eyes are drawn to all of these SALE signs. Then you get to the point of sale and there are no discounts. Everything has just been marked up and no discounts are available. The merchant, Harris Teeter, has basically just bait and switched you and committed consumer fraud. Well, I don’t need your wares HT. I don’t need them at all. I can live for months without a bite of food.
So I just turned and left. I left my entire buggy there in the self-checkout line because of their behavior.

Delivering a Package in a Country With 17,000 Islands
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/30/business/tiktok-indonesia-tokopedia-ecommerce-logistics.html?smid=nytcore-android-share
Oct. 30, 2024
Updated 12:33 a.m. ET
Iksan knows the roads around his hometown on the Indonesian island of Sumatra like the back of his hand. He runs a package sorting center from his garage, a small but essential piece of a sprawling network delivering goods bought on Tokopedia, the country’s biggest homegrown e-commerce company.
His team of three motorcycle riders slog through rice fields and palm oil plantations to bring their neighbors boxes and padded envelopes that were purchased online just days before.
In Indonesia, getting a package from one place to another requires extraordinary logistical planning and often intense physical effort. The nation of 270 million people and 17,000 islands spans a distance as far as Britain to Iran.
Tokopedia spent millions of dollars and more than a decade building a complex web of drivers, warehouses and connections with cargo companies. That was a selling point last year when TikTok, which is owned by the Chinese internet giant ByteDance, needed a local partner in Indonesia for its TikTok Shop e-commerce feature. It promptly took a stake in Tokopedia.
“Tokopedia knows the local market so well,” said Dewi Rengganis, an analyst at Frost & Sullivan, a consulting firm. “TikTok needed this knowledge.”
Tokopedia and other companies have developed software to help dispatchers and drivers monitor traffic on tiny side streets in out-of-the-way places and the perpetually clogged highways of the capital, Jakarta, on Java, the central island.
Indonesians spent over $53 billion online in 2023, almost as much as everyone else in Southeast Asia combined. As in many places, ordering for delivery became part of everyday life in Indonesia during the Covid-19 pandemic. The growing popularity of e-commerce on social media apps like TikTok allowed Indonesian businesses to reach customers far away.
To make it all work, a vast fleet of drivers and warehouse workers run a grueling relay race across the country. Most are young men willing to work long hours for a few dollars a day.
“I could be on the road for 12 hours only to deliver around 20 packages,” said Mr. Iksan, who is 27 and, like many Indonesians, goes by one name. He and his team’s vehicles regularly get stuck in the mud between rice paddies.
The e-commerce companies — Tokopedia and Shopee are the biggest — compete with offers of free shipping and ever-faster delivery times. A package’s journey starts in a warehouse. The conglomerate behind Tokopedia, GoTo, has a logistics arm that operates five warehouses on Java, home to about half the country’s population.
The largest facility sits hulking on the outskirts of Jakarta. Hundreds of people pack boxes around the clock. Managers said workers were allowed to take breaks during prayer times. But as the evening call to prayer echoed across the truck bay on a recent Friday, no one stopped unloading. Big screens near the ceiling showed the number of packages each worker needed to pack to keep his or her job.
The top performers can pack more than 1,600 packages in an eight-hour shift. They’re almost all gig workers, not employees. If they don’t hit their targets, managers said, they aren’t asked to come back.
On an average day, they churn out around 20,000 packages, Hermiranti, a manager at the warehouse, said.
But orders spike toward the end of each month, when most people across the country get paid. Staffing at the warehouse can as much as triple, and daily orders jump to 70,000 packages, she said.
The packages leaving the warehouse can take every imaginable form of transportation — truck, boat, motorcycle, even ox cart — to reach their destination.
The roads around the gritty Port of Merak on Java are regularly choked with trucks. Drivers wait to make the slow ferry crossing to Sumatra over seas tossed by the volcanic motion of Krakatau.
On Sumatra and Indonesia’s more remote islands, keeping the customers of sneakers, school supplies and baby clothes bought on TikTok Shop satisfied depends on delivery companies like J&T Express, which calls its drivers “sprinters.” The hours and pay vary widely by location, drivers said.
On a recent morning, Odo, 23, took hits from a candy-scented vape while he strapped a tall pile of packages to the back of his motorcycle. His route through the heart of the port city of Lampung in southern Sumatra usually takes about an hour to make 50 deliveries. Sprinters on the outskirts of the city, who cover territory up into the mountains, can spend seven hours bouncing over potholed roads to deliver as few as four packages.
And when they get to their destination, drivers sometimes get stuck holding the bag. Many Indonesians don’t have bank accounts, and the e-commerce companies allow shoppers to pay for items in cash upon delivery.
Yudha, 24, who runs a cargo delivery center near Lampung, said one customer had denied ever ordering the package he delivered, which was worth almost a whole month’s pay, about $100. “I had to carry it back and request the return myself,” he said.
Danu, 28, a supervisor at another J&T Express branch in Lampung, said his colleagues used to stack the next day’s deliveries on the sidewalk outside their office for easy pick up. One night while they had gone back inside, the entire supply, roughly 3,000 packages, was stolen.
He had to reimburse the company for the goods, Mr. Danu said. It cost $500, more than twice the minimum monthly wage in the area.
Mr. Danu has been in the delivery business for seven years and has seen online buying and selling explode in Indonesia. He has spent countless long days picking up and dropping off packages at homes, offices and markets around Lampung.
“That’s why we are called sprinters,” Mr. Danu said while he helped the first drivers of the day load packages onto their bikes. “We cover everything.”

Why are there no slums in China?
Walking through China’s cities, you will quickly notice the absence of large slums or pervasive homelessness common to the rest of the world
Dongsheng News
With over 20 million inhabitants each, Shanghai and Beijing are among the “hypercities” of the Global South, including Delhi, São Paulo, Dhaka, Cairo, and Mexico City, far surpassing the “megacities” of the Global North like London, Paris, or New York [1]. Walking the streets in China’s cities, you will however, quickly notice one marked difference – the absence of large slums or pervasive homelessness that is so common to most of the rest of the world.
Slums were not uncommon in Chinese cities a few decades ago, from the precarious working class districts of 1930s Shanghai to the shanty towns of British-occupied Hong Kong in the 1950s onwards. How did China manage to develop in a way that decreased mass housing precarity? What are the structural reasons behind it?
This issue of Dongsheng Explains looks into how the Chinese government deals with homelessness, how this issue relates to socialist construction, and how China confronts the challenges posed by rapid economic development, urbanization, and the migration of recent decades.
Why did mass urbanization not create large slums in China?
When reform and opening up began in the late 1970s, 83 percent of China’s population lived in the countryside. By 2021, the proportion of the rural population had fallen to 36 percent. During this period of mass urbanization, over 600 million people migrated from rural areas to cities.
Today, there are 296 million internal “migrant workers” (农民工, nóngmín gōng), comprising over 70 percent of the country’s total workforce [2]. Migrant workers became the economic engine of China’s rapid growth, which created the world’s largest middle class of 400 million people.
This historic migration came with many challenges, including the emergence of “urban villages” that had poor living conditions and inadequate infrastructure. Although basic amenities – such as running water, electricity, gas, and communications – were provided, sanitation, public services, fire safety, and other such amenities resembled that of rural villages. Due to lower rents and the lack of other affordable housing, urban villages are largely inhabited by migrant workers.
With the acceleration of urbanization in the 2000s, the Chinese government began to promote large-scale transformation of the old areas of the cities, focusing on renovation of historically deteriorated neighborhoods and the removal of dangerous housing. Between 2008 and 2012, 12.6 million households in urban villages were rebuilt nationwide [3]. At the same time, efforts were made to construct public rental or low-rent housing. For instance, in Shanghai today, families of three or more people with a monthly income of less than 4,200 yuan per person can apply for low-rent housing, with the monthly rent being just a few hundred yuan (or five percent of monthly household income). In 2022, the central government announced the construction of 6.5 million units of low-cost rental housing in 40 cities, representing 26 percent of the total new housing supply in the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025) [4].
Indeed the explosion of rural-to-urban migration in recent decades is not a phenomenon unique to China. While understanding that there are different definitions of “slums” used by countries and international organizations, they all point to the same tendency: since the 1970s, slum growth outpaced urbanization rates across the Global South. China’s efforts to upgrade existing precarious housing or build new affordable housing does not, however, explain why China did not develop slums like in so many other countries. Urbanization in China, therefore, must be understood within the context of socialist construction.
What is the “hukou” system and what does it have to do with socialism?
One unique characteristic of China’s urbanization process is that, although policies encouraged migration to cities for industrial and service jobs, rural residents never lost their access to land in the countryside. In the 1950s, the Communist Party of China (CPC) led a nationwide land reform process, abolishing private land ownership and transforming it into collective ownership. During the economic reform period, beginning in 1978, a “Household Responsibility System” (家庭联产承包责任制 jiātíng lián chǎn chéngbāo zérèn zhì) was created, which reallocated rural agricultural land into the hands of individual households. Though agricultural production was deeply impacted, collective land ownership remained and land was never privatized.
Today, China has one of the highest homeownership rates in the world, surpassing 90 percent, and this includes the millions of migrant workers who rent homes in other cities. This means that when encountering economic troubles, such as unemployment, urban migrant workers can return to their hometowns, where they own a home, can engage in agricultural production, and search for work locally. This structural buffer plays a critical role in absorbing the impacts of major economic and social crises. For example, during the 2008 global financial crisis, China’s export-oriented economy, especially of manufactured goods, was severely hit, causing about 30 million migrant workers to lose their jobs. Similarly, during the COVID-19 pandemic, when service and manufacturing jobs were seriously impacted, many migrant workers returned to their homes and land in the countryside.
Beyond land reform, a system was created to manage the mass migration of people from the countryside to the cities, to ensure that the movement of people aligned with the national planning needs of such a populous country. Though China has had some form of migration restriction for over 2,000 years, in the late 1950s, the country established a new “household registration system” (户口 or hùkǒu) to regulate rural-to-urban migration. Every Chinese person has an assigned urban or rural hukou status that grants them access to social welfare benefits (subsidized public housing, education, health care, pension, and unemployment insurance, etc.) in their hometown, but which are restricted in the cities they move to for work. While reformation of the hukou system is ongoing, the lack of urban hukou status forces many migrant parents to spend long periods away from their families and they must leave their children in their grandparents’ care in their hometowns, referred to as “left-behind children” (留守儿童 liúshǒu értóng). Though the number has been decreasing over the years, there are still an estimated seven million children in this situation. Today, 65.22 percent of China’s population lives in cities, but only 45.4 percent have urban hukou. Although this system deterred the creation of large urban slums, it also reinforced serious inequities of social welfare between urban and rural areas, and between residents within a city based on their hukou status.
How does the Chinese government deal with homelessness?
In the early 2000s, the issues of residential status, rights of migrant workers, and treatment of urban homeless people became a national matter. In 2003, the State Council – the highest executive organ of state power – issued the “Measures for the Rescue and Management of Itinerant and Homeless in Urban Areas” [5]. The new regulation created urban relief stations providing food rations and temporary shelters, abolished the mandatory detention system of people without hukou status or housing, and placed the responsibility on the local authorities for finding housing for homeless people in their hometowns.
Under these measures, cities like Shanghai have set up relief stations for homeless people. When public security – the local police – and urban management officials encounter homeless people, they must assist them in accessing nearby relief stations. All costs are covered by the city’s fiscal budget. For example, the relief management station in Putuo District (with the fourth lowest per capita GDP of Shanghai’s 16 districts and a resident population of 1.24 million), provided shelter and relief to an average of 24.3 homeless people a month from June 2022 to April 2023, which could include repeated cases [6].
Relief stations provide homeless people with food and basic accommodations, help those who are seriously ill access healthcare, assist them to return to the locations of their household registration by contacting their relatives or the local government, and arrange free transportation home when needed.
Upon returning home, the local county-level government is responsible to help the homeless people, including contacting relatives for care and finding local employment. For a very small number of people who are elderly, have disabilities, or do not have relatives nor the ability to work, the local township people’s government, or the Party-run street office, will provide national support for them in accordance with the “method of providing for extremely impoverished persons”, which is stipulated in the 2014 “Interim Measures for Social Assistance”. The content of the support includes providing basic living conditions, giving care to impoverished individuals who cannot take care of themselves, providing treatment for diseases, and handling funeral affairs, etc.
This series of relief management measures ensure that administrative law enforcement personnel in the city do not simply expel homeless people from the city, but must guarantee that they receive proper assistance, in terms of housing, work, and support systems.
What are the current challenges of urbanization, migration, and inequality?
While creating relief centers is an important advancement, it is clear that shelters are not a structural solution and they alone cannot meet the needs of a metropolis like Shanghai of 25 million people, let alone the country’s 921 million urban residents. The government has been implementing many structural reforms to address inequality, and to make the cities and the countryside more liveable.
In his report to the 20th National Congress of the CPC, President Xi Jinping said: “We have identified the principal contradiction facing Chinese society as that between unbalanced and inadequate development and the people’s ever-growing needs for a better life, and we have made it clear that closing this gap should be the focus of all our initiatives.” [7] The unbalanced and inadequate development points to the gap between the countryside and cities, between underdeveloped and industrialized regions, and between the rich and poor.
On a broader scale, the anti-poverty campaigns – highlighted by the eradication of extreme poverty in 2020 – and the rural revitalization strategy have helped alleviate the pressure of migrant workers moving to the cities. The government has invested substantial funds and resources, using diversified ways to alleviate poverty beyond income-transfer schemes, including developing rural industry, education, health care, and infrastructure [8]. These measures fundamentally improved the living and employment environment in rural areas and created more opportunities so that people have the option to stay and work in the countryside. For example, every year, more migrants are returning from cities back to their hometowns, which increased from 2.4 million (2015) to 8.5 million people (2019).
Over the last decade, China has implemented reforms to balance the easing of hukou residency requirements and to improve the social welfare of migrant workers, while ensuring that urbanization and population distribution responds to the country’s needs. Since 2010, major cities have gradually relaxed the household registration restrictions for school admission, allowing children of migrant workers to attend public schools like children with local hukou. Furthermore, according to the 2019 Urbanization Plan, cities with populations below three million people are required to remove all hukou restrictions, while bigger cities (under five million) can begin to relax restrictions. The 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025) and the country’s economic strategy until 2035 focus on redistributing income through tax reform, reducing the gap between the rich and poor, and removing the barriers that prevent millions of migrant workers from enjoying the full benefits of urban life. In 2021, the government invested US$5.3 billion to relax the hukou residency rules, and to also boost urban migrants’ spending power as part of the country’s “dual circulation” policy [9].
These efforts to tackle the “three mountains” of the high cost of housing, education, and health care faced by all Chinese people, including migrants, is at the center of the government’s vision and policy reforms towards “common prosperity” for all its citizens and the building of a modern socialist society.
A metropolitan area that has a population between 20 million and 40 million is called a “hypercity,” and between 10 million and 20 million is a “megacity.”
Migrant workers are workers whose household registration is still in rural areas and who are engaged in non-agricultural industries or leave their hometowns for work in another part of the country for at least six months of the year.

Wife (as summarized by husband): Ok, maybe the texts aren’t just about soccer anymore, there’s nothing wrong with being friends with a kid, you’ve always been super close to your younger brother and I’ve never called you out for being “weird”.
The fact that she would bring that up is outrageous in and of itself.
