There are quite a few "clean energy" ETFs (e.g. GRID, PBD, ICLN). There are nuclear/uranium themed ones too. No comment/view on whether any of those are good or not.

Coincidently, FTAV posted a good "petrodollar" article today for anyone interested (article is free but might need a free account to read it): https://www.ft.com/content/a65efb54-306b-49ad-9920-40d59b195...

Second DNSimple. Cheap to start and lots of nice features/support if you grow e.g. terraform provider, an acme.sh plugin, Okta support etc.

IIRC, De Gaulle & Churchill proposed a UK-FR union at one point (1940?) but it didn't get sufficient support within the French government. Interesting to ponder what the war and later EU trajectories might have looked like if that

Copilot has a totally different billing model. It's request based rather than token based. Counter-intuitively, in our case at least, it is way cheaper than token based pricing. One request can sometimes consume 2-4 million tokens but

South of there but yup was Kristin that caused the fiber damage.

I've just done something similar in response to a heavy storm that's taken out the fiber where I live (7 weeks now, still hasn't been reconnected). Starlink has been a life saver and works flawlessly (~200Mbps, <35ms laten

If you're unhappy with this, an immediate way to signal it is with your wallet. In my case I've just uninstalled chatgpt from my phone, cancelled my subscription and will up my spend with anthropic.

If anthropic is saying “you can use our models for anything other than domestic spying or autonomous weapons” and the pentagon replies “we will use other models then”, I'd say Anthropic are the patriots here...

>But you probably recoiled in horror reading that. Not really. I laughed at your cartoonish notion of Europe (and the idea that the US way is somehow the only or most desirable goal). For a more balanced understanding of US vs EU relativ

A huge chunk of those trillions come from European and other non-US sources. Capital controls (or triggering the EU anti-coercion legislation), a truly integrated EU capital market and a few failed USD treasury auctions could very rapidly r

I love tailscale and this is a nice addition. One last item on my wishlist: better Okta support!!

I live in Europe and my city has had a large, very noticeable uptick of American expats arriving over the last two years. Conversely, I have never known my European friends and acquaintances to be as bearish on the US as they are right now

With costs approaching $200 (if Hesai Group is to be believed - and there's no major reason I know of to doubt them), why won't LIDAR win?

It's funny how things change but stay the same. I cut my teeth online in the mid nineties with usenet and IRC. When reddit got big, subreddits always reminded me of usenet groups. Now Discord is big and reminds me of IRC. Substack remi

This is what infuriates me with people that knock GDPR. They simply don't understand it's prime purpose: creation of a legally enforceable audit chain of data ownership. This is a prerequisite if you want to enforce how people&#x2
