That said, the actual article doesn't have a question. But they've been saying "Fusion is Just Around the Corner" since I was a kid so a solid "No" is probably applicable.
In the 1950s they said fusion was around the corner, because they were just getting started and didn't understand the problems yet.
In the 1970s they said it was 30 years away, but conditioned that on a much higher level of funding than they actually got. For the level of funding they got, they said it would never happen.
Now we have a very good understanding of tokamak plasmas, and some new enabling technologies including much better superconductors.

That often happens rapidly, and in many cases putting the Alzheimer's patient in full-time care is the only option -- even with a caring, involved spouse.
I watched my grandfather go from a slightly forgetful goof to confused, violent, and impossible to manage in <3 years. My grandmother, not doing so well herself, struggled to keep up but after a couple years putting grandpa in a facility was the only real tenable option.
Not necessarily. They might die of other causes first.
There are several things in this discussion that make not much sense to me (a non-Norwegian):
* How would a divorce court refer to a (confidential) medical diagnosis? In some countries, at least, even a criminal court cannot easily access such things.
* Why would the law refer to a diagnosis of a particular disease (when the patient might still be healthy) rather than refer to actual cognitive impairment?
* What's the hurry? Can't you get a divorce fairly quickly just by moving out and filling in some forms?
* One of the major legal implications of divorce is that you don't automatically inherit or get insurance pay-outs. Not the most obvious thing to want when your spouse has a terminal illness, though in some cases you know there's no money involved. Even if you're named in the will there may be bad tax implications if you're not married to the person you're inheriting from.
* Someone mentioned children, but divorce doesn't have to relate directly to children: courts have to deal with the children of unmarried couples, and they have to deal with the children of couples that are separated but still married, so I'd expect a court to worry about the relationships and the welfare of the children and not to care very much whether the parents/guardians are officially married or not.
I would guess that these are all areas of law in which there are a lot of differences between jurisdictions.
This has been a discussion thread I've heard of before. I.E. the mountains full of rare earth metals, lithium, etc. in Afghanistan, and how we need to secure it ASAP before the Chinese do. Read like Bush-League propaganda and was usually juxtaposed with "China buying all of the rare metals in Africa". Which makes me wonder if this is pure pablum to help Prince ride the propaganda, or if he's looking to corner the market.
Also didn't realize he sold the Acadami/Xe/Blackwater group, and is now beholden to Hong Kong financiers:
> Prince sold Blackwater in 2010 after it was hit with a string of lawsuits. He is currently executive deputy chairman of Frontier Services Group, which provides integrated security, logistics and insurance services in frontier markets and is backed by Hong Kong investor Chun Shun Ko and China’s CITIC Group.

Due to an amendment in December 2018 of the Unfair Competition Prevention Act in Japan, certain gaming-related activities and services have now been declared illegal. This includes:
- Distribution of tools and programs for modifying game saves
- Selling product keys and serials online without the software maker's permission
- Game save and console modding services
As such, sales of products such as Pro Action Replay and Cybergadget's "Save editor" have been discontinued.
Here is a (Japanese language) page describing the new restrictions:
The case study at the end seems overly modest. Even relatively unimpressive internal promotions can bump you up 7-8% or more; jumping ship to new jobs can often add 50% or more.
definitely agree. I wrote this a bit overly simplified to showcase the point that even mid-sized raises can quickly be outweighed by bigger jumps. There are a lot of specific situations that may or may not apply to your specific role.
I do think though that I used modest assumptions for switching jobs, so the math evens out. For those that are already underpaid a jump of 30-50% is not unheard of.
