I think climate change is solvable, but we need solutions we can implement now. Proven solutions exist. Scaling up nuclear is not a solution. It is too slow and requires too much manpower. Nuclear had its chance, and it failed to deliver. I

With the proposed scale of kilotons of Uranium per year, this comes still to hundreds of billions of tons of seawater every year. Now consider that only a tiny, tiny, tiny fraction of seawater is easily accessible. There's a reason why

Nuclear energy is sustainable only with technology we don't have yet. All the affordable reactor designs with no risk of accidents or proliferation are just 10 years away like they have been for four decades. And the sea water plan rel

I don't think there's any reason to assume that a "transnational CEO", whatever that means, is any worse or better at time management than other people. And if they are, there's no reason to assume that their "

In general, you don't have any obligation to enforce your rights. There is the well-known exception of trademark law, but that's in the nature of the matter. If PepsiCo sells Coca-Cola and the Coca-Cola company doesn't react,

I've never had a conference with images that small. They are always more than adequate to see what someone's doing. The big difference to presence meetings is that you send your picture into the void and don't get any social

Well, extreme weather events have become much more common sooner than expected. As to why this happened, I only speculated. I don't think that the state is alarmed about climate change as it aims to have a carbon neutral grid by 2045,

Uhm, okay, you have convinced me that droughts aren't a new phenomenon. The claim however was that they become more frequent and severe. Not every drought is the same. From your link: > the 2012–15 period was the driest in at least

A deliberate underproduction to get "bailed out" is a strong accusation, I think it warrants a better proof than analysis of one line of an article. Especially when the article points out other reasons why production doesn't

Both intensity and frequency of extreme weather events increased much faster than anticipated. This may be a result of climate scientists presenting conservative estimates due to the fear of being labelled alarmist.

The article doesn't really seem to reflect the headline. It's seems hasty to order companies to build up plants in just three years, but it's not made clear if that order is made too late by the state or if it's a reacti

If houses in the US are 240V, than houses in Europe are 480 (or rather, 400V because it's usually triphasic). The voltage arriving at the building is kind of irrelevant to the discussion. The question is whether a connection could even

The space on posters is extremely limited. You condense several person-months into a few sentences and graphics, usually fewer words than OP used. At the same time, the research is usually very narrow. It's hard but possible to convey

The difference there is, I think, that the pragmatic argument of "not enough steel" doesn't prove the non-existence; while the argument about "there are no truly rigid bodies" does. I haven't seen that Veritasi

Life didn't continue in Sweden for about 14,000 people that died to COVID due to the lack of proper response, or hundreds of thousands with long COVID. Sweden had the best requisites to come out of the pandemic largely unscathed, like

Perhaps we shouldn't. The EU estimates that half the fatalities on the road will be prevented with these systems. That's 10.000 lives each year. If that's true, increasing the cost marginally is more than worth it (and it rea

Somehow? France tries desperately to wind down its nuclear reactors because they are so heavily subsidised. What the end user pays for electricity is just one part of the total costs. That's true for all forms of generation of course.

US and EU already have poured tens of billions into Thorium reactors in the hope to make nuclear power less horribly expensive. It didn't work out.

In this case: just like they do now. Quad9 sends SERVFAIL instead of a true answer. Resolvers could also just drop the connection. The only thing they can't do with DNSSEC is falsifying a NXDOMAIN result.

For the same reason that we don't test engines during a race. Only what's under test should change, with the rest being fixed. It would be much more difficult to adapt some of your own applications as a test. If the result are ba
