Because that doesn't make the image in question scarcer? I just went to Christie's site and copied it by just viewing the page.

Just to be clear we talk about the same thing: Words have zero meaning by themselves (and this is not my personal opinion, but consensus in cognitive linguistics). So you can use words to describe things (like we do right now), and thus h

Doubtful, as construction costs haven't gone down anywhere in the world after 1970, despite most plants being built after that date: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S030142151... It doe

And why would that be, pray tell?

by bildung 6y ago
Keep in mind my hint at costs was purely descriptive, not normative: As we talk about market economies, neither of which currently is interested in nuclear proliferation, the LCOE of each energy source is probably the most important decisio

Nuclear is a) way too expensive, b) takes decades to build in the current climate (see France and UK for current timelines) c) the Swiss population voted against new nuclear plants in 2017, so this topic is moot anyway. That fact alone that

The animosities are even older. France has been depicted as "Erbfeind" (i.e. enemy for generations) in German school books since the Napoleonic wars.

In German law that would, as a default, actually make the whole contract void, yes. Many contracts therefore contain a clause that hedges against that situation (i.e. something like "if one or more of these items is found void, the res

But it isn't the case (asset appreciation as hidden dollar inflation). Assets among practically all classes appreciate, but consumptive commodities don't. So it isn't devaluation of the dollar, but really just appreciation of

Authoritarianism is defined by a lack of political pluralism, i.e. multiple parties, political mobilization and free voting. Nothing of this is part of everday things.

Niger is actually a great example for illustrating that better health (e.g. infant mortality rate) and economic outlook results in dramatically falling birth rates. Current birth rate is 6.7, but it was 7.5 only ten years ago: https:/

Texas' (additional) problem was lack of connectivity to the rest of the country. With a proper grid the outages wouldn't have occured.

It's a combination of economics and (formerly) geostrategic interests. France is a nuclear power, for which nuclear infrastructure was needed (in the wider sense: universities producing engineers etc., not just plants for enrichment).

That's a rather stinted defition of the scientific process. Even formalist, natural-science-focussed theories like Poppers critical rationalism allow for this approach (which isn't even part of the paper, BTW), as long as the thes
