There are no arguments against nuclear that stand up to scrutiny beyond emotional knee-jerk reactions. Nuclear is safe, cheap and most importantly reliable. Renewables are not reliable. Baseload renewables is a pipe dream that has been disp

Wow this post triggered some serious PTSD. A previous employer got bit hard by Sentry's PHP SDK, which still (to my knowledge) has unresolved serious bugs. It was used as collateral by me and some coworkers to convince the powers that

College is a net detriment to society. The business model of colleges is 'lie to young people and then saddle them with thousands of dollars in crushing debt for questionably valuable degrees'. The growth in the cost of college ha
