It doesn't exist industrially because there's no need for it. Uranium has been incredibly cheap for decades. But the cost of fuel is such a small factor in the cost of nuclear energy that you could 10x the fuel costs and the LCOE

I know it is besides your point but the thought of going through all that and then running windows on it made me laugh.

1) It is dangerous yes. That is the nature of the energy being so concentrated. But this concentration is a blessing because you don't need to mind nearly as much material, and it is far far easier to keep an eye on the waste. Where do

That's the amazing thing. They are not. Most likely it will be far worse than they are imagining. I hope I am wrong.

It's only recently cheap. It's true that if they had pivoted to Nuclear instead, they would not had these energy shortfalls and maybe even Russia wouldn't have felt they had the leverage to invade Ukraine. The global output o

Based on the fact that Berlin is planning for 2-3 hour* organized blackouts, I don't think they have enough electricity. EDIT: Not 2 to 3 blackouts, 2 to 3 hour blackouts. When grid is overstressed.

Is it likely at all that Elon will sell shares to fund the Twitter purchase or will it be more of borrowing against shares kind of situation? Not looking like great collateral at the moment.

The 5000km range barge needs a 6.5 GWhr battery, which is the equivalent of 130,000 base range model 3s. That's a lot of batteries. Not sure if that much industrial capacity will be available soon enough. Also, I'd really really h

That is in the context of companies. Agreed, a yogurt company is not a "tech" company. But someone who programs their mobile app certainly has a "tech" job.

This just feels like arbitrary gate keeping. The vast majority of people would consider any kind of coding work a "tech" job. Maybe there's not much innovation happening in these jobs, but that's a different topic.

Why would you put work into something meant for others to use, and then make it hard for people to find it?

AFAIK it's the opposite. Low frequency early warning radars are able to detect the vague position of stealth fighter jets (like the F-35) because these jets need a vertical stabilizer to be able to do combat maneuvers. Knowing the vagu

It's true that modern nukes do not go off accidentally. But solid fueled rocket propellant in ICBMs can be pretty touchy and they have a shelf life. Or the failure could be on the command and control side like what happened in 1983 [1]

IMO proposing we "disallow remote updates" because we don't know what backdoors could be sneaked into devices is akin to proposing we outlaw fudging spreadsheets because we don't trust accountants. It's not really p

I'm sorry, since when is "location sharing" a "basic feature" of a messaging application? Can't you just send them a maps link to your location? Or your GPS coordinates?
