That's probably closest to the literal "underwater basket weaving" i've seen.

This is batshit crazy leftist authoritarianism. And because it's so silly, it will achieve nothing but expose its peddlers as morons and give more votes to Republicans just by making them appear saner in comparison. BAD.

Quite naturally - 1960s were the time when we discovered that Solar System is a pretty barren place. Mariner IV sent back pictures of craters on Mars - proving it couldn't have an atmosphere dense enough for people. Venera series probe

Of course everyone knows it. It's just the way to suck out the last bit of "investment" from the dumbest.

And indeed, another counterpoint is Covid itself. There were massive cash payments, inequality and poverty, especially among disadvantaged groups, fell to historic lows - and yet there WAS a massive crime wave.

Not true; take the GFC: tens of millions lost jobs with no prospect of employment, millions lost homes, and there wasn't any serious support program (say, similar to Covid era cash payments). And yet, there was no crime wave at all.

If there is a plenty of revenue, profits, and taxes paid by businesses - and if there won't be, there's nothing to talk about - it will mean there will be no AI productivity boost - why won't society find something for those

During the Great Depression there was also an economic collapse with deep decreases in production and consumption of just about everything - except useless production of what was already overproduced anyway. That could naturally make people

by anovikov 9mo ago
Great Depression is thoroughly unrelated. It was because of excess agricultural production by overleveraged farmers that forced them into further undermining themselves by overproduction, and eventual contagion of bad debt of those farmers

I don't buy into alarmism at all. First of all it's not just the US but the entire world. Trick is, as always, simply not to do worse than others. As for tens of millions being unemployable... so what? What are the practical probl

Most humans in that situation won't have reaction speed to do shit about it and it could result in a severe injury or death.

It may be not such a bad idea because many engineers have an itch for fixing things that aren't broken.

I wonder if they thought about offgassing... Even without materials as flimsy as that, offgassing from things one totally won't expect it is a big problem with satellites. Heat cycles due to night/day side changing every 90 minute

Nuclear power resurgence is bullshit and it will always remain a drop in the bucket, especially for large countries. US has too much natural gas, China too much renewables, Russia well, it's of virtually no economic impact worldwide an

That's the consumption numbers. 55% of total final consumption of energy in EU comes from imported sources.

by anovikov 9mo ago
Nuclear fuel is around 2-3% of electricity cost, and there is too much worldwide supply for it to be of any concern, so it doesn't really matter where it comes from. For energy balance calculations it is accepted that nuclear energy is

Overall renewables (including the "bad" ones like biogas, and the finite ones like hydro) are at around 27% of TFC in EU today (25.2% in 2024 and growing at around 1% per year). Not bad. But far from replacement. Renewables plus n

Indeed it sounds a lot like Trump's bs, so Trump might buy it. It's almost like "those s**hole countries sending is their worst to eat our cats and dogs" or "subsidies we send every year to all over the world".

Corporate taxes have always been a drop in the bucket (not counting payroll taxes, which are effectively individual taxes too just the company is a tax agent)

by anovikov 9mo ago
What's the problem about it? Trump cuts one kinds of taxes and introduces others in place. I see it reasonable because it means going from taxing good things (people making money, people holding property) to taxing bad things (imports

You forgot clouds. German experience shows they are at times, on average, only about 2% as effective (24 hours average, i.e. min vs max). And around 5% weekly average min vs max (battery storage over even longer periods is hard to imagine)

This means a TFR of 0.91. Assuming it stays this way, what can be estimates of when the Chinese threat will be over? Like, time when prime age manpower (18-27) in China will be below U.S.?

So the increase was 3.1% and it was "fourth largest in the last decade", which means, "barely above average growth rate". Considering that economy growth rate was the fastest in a decade except 2021 which was a covid rec

It's the networking. It's who you know and status marker. So bottom 90+% was probably never worth it (for coders). Top 1% still does and will, and there's no dilution there at all. Elite meets elite.

I wonder if it's even written in good faith. It's clear from my post that i meant illegal immigration only.
