that... is not even close to comparable. A hurricane smashes a bunch of your local panels, you go and pick them up, and if they're too damaged throw them in landfill. Fukushima is going to cost between $470 billion and $660 billion to

yeah, they seem to be planning on using them like gas peaker plants (because they have little gas). For backup and filling in load gaps. If their renewables keep growing like they are today, the coal peakers will barely ever be used. They w

China installed more wind and solar in 2023 than the rest of the world combined. They’re going to decarbonize well before the US.

Military reactors do not have to be economical in any sense. They are not candidates for civilian power.

Sort of - nuke plants are fundamentally phenomenally complicated compared to true economies of scale technologies like solar. You won’t reap 100x cost savings in nukes, no matter how many you build

I agree on an individual level, but at a company level it’s fairly easy to measure things like product feature shipping velocity, change in business metrics like growth etc. When you’re talking about company wide changes like RTO it would t

It’s an open secret that there is no data that supports RTO. If there was, at even one company, it would be screamed from the rooftops. (I don’t believe it’s all covert layoffs either - it’s imho the more banal reason of c-level personal f

We have 50+ years of incontrovertible evidence that that advice doesn’t work for the overwhelming majority of people. “Just have self control” is the stupid take imho.

“People” do understand though. If you look at the big energy reports, many of them include solar+storage LCOE numbers, as well as just raw solar. Combined storage numbers are roughly (depending on the report) competitive with coal & gas

How so? Nuclear power is the most expensive mainstream form of power by a significant margin.

It’s not cheap at all? Today it’s the most expensive mainstream power generation method.

“Religion” heavily implies an institution, an organization of people, buildings, etc. spirituality typically means none of this. “Unorganized religion” perhaps?

Maybe? It was from Home Depot, given their turnover i assume it was pretty new. I’m just guessing at the octane, because it sounded like the engine was running too fast, if that makes sense. Small engines are built for e90 now, so it’s not

Huh. I had the opposite experience, bought some canned hardware store fuel for my snowblower out of laziness, and it wouldn’t even run. Seemed to be too high octane or something, kept stalling out. Had to drain it completely, put regular ga

That’s true for tech workers and other highly paid folk. That’s not at all “usually” true - I think you should go and look up all the cases of fast food workers, veterinarians, dentists etc that are slapped with non competes with no severan

This is quite the pedantic point though. That was nearly 100 years ago and has almost nothing to do with today

fintechs have some inhouse tech but typically involve all kinds of third party systems. Even if you are interacting with these third parties via apis(instead of csv or whatever), you will always need an eventually consistent recon mechanis

You would lose a lot of the benefits of a system like crowdstrike if you waited to slowly roll out malware definitions and rules.

California blackouts have very little to do with supply, nuclear or renewables. It’s distribution. Poorly maintained transmission lines that blow down in storms or have to be shut down in wind to avoid fires. It’s infuriating I agree, but i
