Thinking about stuff like this is fascinating in the context of just how much massively more of a big deal its going to become very very soon. Specifically, if you draw the trend line on the size and price of kuka/fanuc/abb robot

Those towers sound pretty cool. Has anyone else tried the spiraling or even just tapering floors idea?

The very part you quoted has the word "investment" in it twice, and the post you're replying to had the word new in all-caps to highlight it, and yet somehow your brain twisted that into turning off existing capacity. You eit

It is an utterly lost cause to discuss things with people on the internet. I specifically said "wait for" and somehow you turned that into "never". Seriously someone just ban me from this dumb site, no one can read.

It is specifically, exactly, too late to wait for that. Did you not look at the graph? I'm all for continued and increased R&D funding, but the best case scenario for SMRs is they help us with the back half of the transition (20

In 2016 the rules were updated for certain package sizes to require just that. You see it on almost all >1 to <5 serving packages now, but its not legally required till next year. You can see a bunch of examples on page 6, 10, and 1

IMHO finding problems with how PG&E handled this will be much like looking through your graphs and logs after an outage. When you go looking for trouble, you find it, but most of what you see, despite being true and bad, is just red-he

That is pointlessly over-dramatizing a clear and obvious fact. They went from risk tolerant to risk averse because the liability math changed. There's no conspiracy, its the simple difference between "not my problem" and &qu

This is an almost perfectly textbook example of how to sew FUD to muddle a debate. Fortunately we seem to have turned a cultural corner in the last few months, so you're getting heavily downvoted, but even just a year ago this would

If you think the greenhouse gas problem is comparable to the acid rain or ozone problems then you fundamentally do not understand the science, and you as an engineer fundamentally do not understand what "orders of magnitude" are.

I consider it a glitch in the simulation that the guy who may have saved us from self-immolating on carbon with an alternative that may prove out to be just barely good enough... is named Goodenough.

I thought this was going to be about error-budgeting your carbohydrate SLO in your dietary SLA.

You are correct in a harm reduction and progress sense. Unfortunately harm reduction and general progress were something we could have spent the 200X's or 201X's doing. The remaining carbon budget does not afford for such margin

I am very wishful but its still stuck in the wishful thinking phase. Obviously the 'trade war' derailing it is a travesty, but I think its important at this point (post SR15) to recognize that wishful thinking for future tech is
