Another side effect is that it damages hiring, because the team members don&#39;t want to hire someone who might take one of the coveted two (of ten) best performer slots in the annual review. Microsoft dropped stack rank in 2013, only a decade late. <a href="https://www.seattletimes.com/business/microsoft-ditches-system-that-ranks-employees-against-each-other/">https://www.seattletimes.com/business/microsoft-ditches-system-that-ranks-employees-against-each-other/</a> 2025-01-15T18:08:05Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsgqxwsl9s7ra5wjqge570pkem0cwql74xwmcskxqde893lq2jpj9qzyra30hxvc9jz9nyw05pz3e3es25rznqah7ue6vf7htekrjnqdnufvygyw35 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsykqfjf3mazsdstgfdkgvypnrza63vaw35z4ms6hy66dmn0wf4pwg6smerd'>nevent1q…merd</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The state of the art of chemical liquid rocket fuels for main propellant has *not* advanced somewhat--they&#39;re still using fuels discussed in the book, including the one that Clark&#39;s lab eventually determined was slightly the superior, extra-refined kerosene, which became RP1, which is used today in Space-X falcons and heavies. Methane, extensively discussed, is used in Space-X starship engines. SLS and the space shuttle use(d) hydrogen, again extensively discussed. Over 20 years they pretty much wrung dry the high energy compounds that can be created with the peridioc table we have. Iteration and improvement in rocket engines, yes. Main stage fuels, no.<br/><br/>I guarantee you every english-speaking professional working with rocket engines and fuels has read this book, and first edition copies are treasured and are selling for over $250 last time I looked. But it&#39;s your list, do as you wish, I will not bother you further. 2024-12-01T18:54:04Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrt6p65s0wj02cdmykm90atg3cywu20e6zplnplqy0mstev7px3vgzyra30hxvc9jz9nyw05pz3e3es25rznqah7ue6vf7htekrjnqdnufvc3kyfy In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0x3khg3kqhpz06pr9777vnek4vydq8spq28tm8jjz03lluegygeqdkcu4y'>nevent1q…cu4y</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Ignition! by John Clark.

From your cite:<br/><br/>&#34;In 2010 the International Panel on Fissile Materials said &#34;After six decades and the expenditure of the equivalent of tens of billions of dollars, the promise of breeder reactors remains largely unfulfilled and efforts to commercialize them have been steadily cut back in most countries&#34;.&#34;<br/><br/>&#34;It was expected that breeder reactors would quickly become economically competitive with the light-water reactors that dominate nuclear power today, but the reality is that capital costs are at least 25% more than water-cooled reactors.&#34;<br/><br/>&#34;It was thought that breeder reactors could be as safe and reliable as light-water reactors, but safety issues are cited as a concern with fast reactors that use a sodium coolant, where a leak could lead to a sodium fire.&#34; 2024-10-04T20:30:00Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsz9l5m3e59gp9tm3d887hx3l6wjucqdqlz7307y63wwykvrrw2feczyra30hxvc9jz9nyw05pz3e3es25rznqah7ue6vf7htekrjnqdnufvsw55km In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgsceu5rqwuccph4jcnzt53l58fzcnxqtd6rtuk5zu5kpcffvq85c53m4ju'>nevent1q…m4ju</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Bullshit.
