Nucleares, Protocolo de Kioto y precios reales.

     Mucha gente es partidaria del uso de la energía nuclear porque piensa que es más barata y no tenemos que depender de terceros países, sin embargo mucha gente no tiene en cuenta ciertas cosas en el caso español y lo que son las externalidades negativas.
     En primero lugar España no cuenta con un cementerio nuclear propiamente dicho, como todos sabemos, las centrales nucleares no producen humo pero producen desechos radiactivos que deben ser tratados y almacenados durante miles de años. Mi pregunta es, ¿cuánto cuesta esto?, ¿qué precio le damos?, porque ese precio debe ser  incluido en el precio. Pero no solo eso, ¿qué pasaría si ocurriera un Chernobyl o un Fukushima? Pues que además deberíamos crear un seguro a que cubriera dichos riesgos que pueden ser gigantes e impredecibles. Por lo que se incluyéramos estos dos costes ocultos, estas externalidades negativas en el precio real de la energía producida veríamos a ver lo competitiva que es.

      Algo parecido pasa con el consumo de combustibles fósiles y otros gases de efecto invernadero, con la intención de no afectar nuestro entorno deberíamos compensar las emisiones de los mismos (comprando bosques, mejorando la tecnologías o promoviendo el ahorro) y el Protocolo de Kioto suministra varios mecanismos.
   En otras palabras estas fuentes de energía no incluyen en su coste el impacto ambiental, una vez que su valoración económica sea hecha debe incluirse en el coste. De otra manera la comparación es díficil.

Making MongoDB remotely available.

Imagen
Summary Here I show how to make your MongoDB accessible from a different server / computer/ instance, without using ssh. Motivation I have been using MongoDB to store and query some databases. This databases has been shared with other people and in most of the cases I have managed to use it as localhost or using ssh. However when using Docker it is easy to run into problems when using ssh. It is common to access other databases such as MySQL. For example in to use MySQL in Python you could have something like this: import pymysql.cursors # Connect to the database connection = pymysql.connect( host = ' localhost ' , user = ' user ' , password = ' passwd ' , db = ' db ' , charset = ' utf8mb4 ' , cursorclass = pymysql.cursors.DictCursor) In the same line you could query your MongoDB using

Reflecting about SIR models and some examples

Reflecting about SIR models  and some examples Feel free to send me you thoughts either in comments or here . This only reflect my personal opinion, none of my employees at any time. Summary SIR model trendy, but they also have some caveats Looks like in Europe and the States the peak could be reach between May and July, with different amount of population affected by country given different policies implemented (so the model need time to incorporate that effect). Potential limitations: Summer could reduce prevalence. Data limitations, brief discussion below. But we are learning about Covid19, we did not have enough tests and so on. Intro After massive disruption for Covid19 everyone is concerned about what is going on and how this could evolve in the future. Massive disruption has occurred and all of us are noticing the consequences (such as compulsory stay at home measures, terrible amounts of deaths and so on). All of us want to help a bit and trying to

Adicction and Decision Making: a brainy view.

  Why is this interesting? To answer questions such as how can we understand addictions within our brains? Why are people more affected than others? Is Decision Making relating to Drug addiction? In Bechara 2005 the following similarities between pathing with VMPC (see below, related to the decision making areas of the brain) damage and drug addicts are pointed out : often deny, or not aware, that they have a problem. When faced with a choice that brings immediate reward, even at the risk of incurring future negative outcomes, including loss of reputation, job, and family, they appear oblivious to the consequences of their actions. The above points out that there are similarities. How could define willpower in term of geography in the brain? Willpower as proposed on Bechara 2005: “... willpower emergers from the dynamic interaction of two separate, but interacting, neural systems: and impulsive system, in which the amygdala is a critical neural structure involved in triggering the affe
