That is what I mean. Russia does not have the power to threaten one and therefore has to wield more crude tools to try get the point across. There's no possibility of Ukraine turning into North Korea through sanctions, rather for Russi

They are 60hz for $3K though. I was seriously considering trying one, but 120 HZ minimum does a lot for motion clarity. Same issue with the 32" version. I guess I should also have specified in the "not selling my kidney" rang

I have been using my 2016 55" B6 hooked up to my computer for years now, I write this on that screen. I babied it in the beginning. Nowadays I tend to forget it on. I have a tiny amount of burn in on the white subpixels from the top ba

Really missing OLED in the post. After getting an OLED tv a few years back I can't imagine myself spending money on anything with less quality. Instant pixel refresh, amazing colors and no blooming and most importantly, a glossy displa

More importantly, it needed to be accurate even when jumbled around in a storm crossing an ocean. Which ruled out for example pendulum like clocks.

The issue here is that Russia does not have that option at hand. If they institute a 100% economic blockade they lose out right because no one else will care.

If Russia does not invade then there's no problem right? That's the point.

Why does everyone get so hung up on the gold standard? What intrinsic value does gold have? 8% mined each year goes to technology and industrial use cases, that has value, and most importantly creates more value. The rest is people saying &

The issue is now you have a potential nil value hanging around in the code with no real reason for its existence. Three refactors and some moving around later and you manage to hit a runtime panic in production.

Also makes sense on numbers and other patterns where you can logically enforce exhaustiveness.

Rust supports #[non_exhaustive] attributes, forcing users to cover the generic/wildcard case even though you have already covered all existing ones. Although, I rather do versioning and a breaking change if possible. Put it on the pars

Sure, when you disregard the initial investment cost and only look at the marginal nuclear is among the cheapest. Although still being undercut by new investments in renewables nowadays. That is the issue at hand, building new nuclear is no

They don't. They explicitly compete for the same spot, the cheapest most inflexible power generation. Nuclear obviously loses here and are pushed closer to the peaker side and is hampered by the insanely costly initial investment. The

by Gwypaas 5y ago
Keep in mind that the second graph is the marginal cost. The first graph includes the numbers necessary for the initial investment in new builds. Fram that it is easy to see that nuclear new builds are completely uneconomical.

Because they simply could not be economically built, it's not all fun and games to light the ratepayers money on fire. That lead to the first SMR craze from a reeling industry, with nothing to show for it. From https://en.wi

Then, lets agree then on that it is a dead industry where options exist. Gas plants require more infrastructure investment up front, therefore coal exists in lower development countries. Completely agree that subsidies for fossil fuels shou

Irrelevant comparing to coal. It is a dead industry sharing the same issue nuclear has, steam cycles are too costly to build and operate[1]. A dollar spent on nuclear power plants is a dollar not doing more work with renewables, that is the

Currently not going swimmingly adapting the VVER to western standards though. Looking to be at least €8 B if everything goes to plan, which would be lunacy to bank on given all other western examples. I wonder why only autocratic government

That is very expensive. Given that they came online in the 70s and early 80s we can assume the initial capital investment is paid off by now and that cost is only the marginal running cost. (OPEX) Now, currently we are building solar farms

Turns out a steam based thermodynamic cycle is expensive even with "free" energy.

Australia still is First Past the Post in essence for the lower house, a bit better in the senate. Just see the number of seats the greens have compared to their vote, 10.23% of the vote led to 0.66% of the seats in 2019. The system does he

My view of this for the last decade or so is that it's the result of First Past the Post political systems. They converge to a binary choice in every question and the identity building starts from there. Every political question is a g
