I think we should spell out our trade policies and not have them be at the whim of the executive branch to do whatever they feel like, whenever they feel like, while trying to extort a cut of the profits.

You're actually right, in this case it is pretty comparable, so it's closer to apples to apples, which brings up concerns about costs and commercial viability of such a project, but that's not really point of this thread.

Apples to oranges. Reactor designs are completely different. They are basically set it and forget it designs that then require extremely costly refueling and refurbishment. Edit: I was wrong, the Ultra Safe Nuclear plan is somewhat similar.

Is the point you're trying to make that nuclear and fossil fuels can both be dangerous during a natural disaster? I don't think anyone will dispute this.

Germ theory and the science around vaccines is well established. Winging it because maybe some unknown might protect us sounds absurd. To get to the point where the existence of this unknown can be proven yes/no will take longer than i

Well we've yet to develop a COVID-19 vaccine that ditzy parents can ignore/avoid. Stupidity isn't an excuse for more stupidity.

Oregon does have a mask mandate. Wildfires are forcing most sane people indoors. Schools are digital at the moment. Lots of people working from home. There are definitely mitigation measures being taken in Oregon.

I think we're on the same page here. My catastrophic scenario involved no mitigation steps and removal of lockdown. The goal was to dissuade people from thinking since things are "fine/better" right now, lockdown/mi

My point to jaywalk was that combined COVID-19 + severe flu w/o mitigations like a lockdown, could be catastrophic. Their post was anti-lockdown comparing COVID-19 to flu. I am not surprised that measures to avoid COVID-19 also reduces

Do you really mean "sadly" when trying to make the point that old people or people with pre-existing conditions are acceptable deaths?

Children get sick, few have got sick enough to have died from it.

Technically that was "last flu season", not the upcoming flu season, and it was relatively mild. It is hard to predict if 2020-2021 will be similar, or 2017 levels, or 2009 levels. At minimum it will add more strain to medical ser

Do you know that this year will not be a difficult flu season? Do you know the ramifications of combined flu and COVID-19 infection? If the flu season is severe, then it could be quite catastrophic when combined with COVID-19. We should def

The point of the 105 dead children was to show children can be severely affected and don't have magic immunity. 500K children have been diagnosed with COVID, with varying symptom levels. We have 200,000 dead overall in the USA, so it&#

Maybe fewer have died of covid because of lockdown?

Flu is harder to transmit and there is vaccine infrastructure available every year, despite that, it can still be very severe. Let's add a coronavirus with potentially greater severity than a flu, which has no vaccine, and has easier t

It's not "a couple", there's been about 105 child deaths, and 4600 child hospitalizations. It's not as bad as adults, but you can't say little Johnny is magically immune, nor can you say that Brad the football

The article and your wondering doesn't provide enough evidence that we should go counter to not trying to spread the virus in the first place. Social distancing, hygiene and a vaccine are much more definitive ways to combat a severe se

This doesn't pan out when children have developed severe inflammatory responses, young adults have died, and not all people with comorbidities have had severe reactions. You can't just say it's fat and/or old people who

It likely depends on the country, but I am sure there is no lack of pampered/spoiled children at boarding schools. In the US, where free boarding schools are practically unheard up, it is even more likely. The adults should be ensuring

Boarding school was not sink or swim, you had adults looking after you, likely it was paid for by your parents, and you had a decent home life to return to if shit got really tough. Most parents aren't going to let their child sink and

People need to use the words antitrust or anticompetitive more often, just because you could claim there are competitors, doesn't mean the market is fair to competition or consumers.

Imposter syndrome is not something that just goes away magically. People often feel it throughout their entire careers. Also right now everyone is under additional stress, so I wouldn't be surprised if this is exacerbated. Also, you ma

The problem is that we're wringing our hands over prices rising due to taking the environment into account, we do not wring our hands much when prices rise to fatten up the paydays for elite classes. Food scarcity is already an issue,

2080 Super / 2080 Ti. Really seems like you need to be pushing the cutting edge to justify a top-end consumer CPU. If you're spending the money on a 2080 Ti class of card, then you should also be spending money on the best CPU to

Yes single threaded perf is still important, but really only if you have top-end GPUs. 8 - 12 threads is where multi-threaded gaming gains seem to wane at bit, which might make sense given last console cycle's architectural optimizatio

30xx parts are made at Samsung on a process inferior to TSMC's N7/N7P. This might indicate that Nvidia's datacenter/HPC parts are worth more than AMD CPU production, but that's not very shocking. Also it would be ba

I agree. They don't need to beat the 3080, they just need to match or beat the 3070 at a competitive price. I would say the majority of the market does not have $700 to blow on a GPU. Having compelling options under $500 would be enoug
