I could imagine that blocking bot traffic, would improve their retargeting and make sure that the retargeting budget is spent on real people leading to an increase in conversion.

I can't find the source, but one reason why SpaceX can reduce costs more than NASA, is that SpaceX is allowed to fail. NASA has to underpromise and overdeliver on everything. Else it will result in budget cuts for not meeting targets o

* I would have dig deeper on that, but regarding the timeframe when the shutdown occurred, there wasn't a big effect on gas prices. That happened before due to the war with Ukraine and the reliance on Russian gas in general. [1] The id

Wait, so Germany's shutdown of three nuclear plants resulted in the EU wide energy crises and EU wide poverty? Seems almost untrue...

There are multiple warning levels and you should get email notifications. I happened to overlook those as well and also only noticed it when they turned off networking. However, that was two weeks after the invoice due and it got unblocked

Until 2016, nuclear energy received more subsidize than renewables in Germany. [1] EDF was nationalized in 2022, doesn't have to build money reserves for decommissioning (which would be tens of billions), is about 50 billion in debt an

Why not? Grid scale batteries will allow using solar/wind throughout the day and not only peak times, eliminating the duck curve problem. This is already only a few years away. This only leaves "Dunkelflaute" as a concern, wh

I am no expert but remembering the grid outage in Spain this year, which was caused by a substation or node failure and not by a capacity problem. Wouldn't it be fair to describe resiliency as a combination of both capacity and nodes?

This year again multiple nuclear plants in France had to reduce their output due to heatwaves and water levels, and ongoing cooling concerns. This is becoming a yearly occurrence. Though, I am not saying you can't have a nuclear grid,

Nuclear is also extremely heavily subsidized. Be it through state sponsored loans or tax breaks (France) or the fact, that the public has to bear the cost of dismantling them (Germany). Thus, a comparison isn't that easy to make. Syste

I am totally in agreement, that nuclear plants shouldn't be shut down before fossil ones. A decentralized grid sound way more resilient, then one with a few nuclear plants, which often have long unexpected downtimes (see France). I agr

Because this limitless clean energy source is too expensive, even though it had 60+ years time. I hope the day fusion energy finally has its big breakthrough isn't too far away, but conventional nuclear won't solve our problems.

I agree that the fears are overblown, but at the same time the hype for nuclear is just weird. It's more complex, more expensive, less adjustable and more risky. Even the new hip small modular reactors are many years away. The LCOE (Le
