Is NuScale’s design a good one to compare against? Isn’t it a theoretical design only? I held their stock for a while until I realized they don’t exist to make a reactor. They exist to get funding. Sounds crazy, but look through their actio

Isn't that most business models? Make it easier to do something. A car is easier than a bike. A grocery store is easier than talking to a farmer. Ordering a cab is easier than walking. A VPS is easier than managing your own hardware.

I don’t know where you base your claim on. Do you own an electric car in Europe? I live in Europe and own an electric car. There are fast chargers everywhere and also some slow chargers near my house. I mostly drive in the Netherlands and G

For experiments and hobby projects the value proposition is amazing. Where else can you spin up an independent instance for $1.94 per month?* *Note this is for an instance with only 256MB RAM ( https://fly.io/docs/about&

This is a bit of a black and white way of putting it. Yes, much state money is wasted, but not all. Some of the money went to Swedish construction workers for example.

It's a balance. If you would dissolve anything that slightly looks like a monopoly, then there would be lower incentive for innovation. Even though there are many things wrong with venture capital, they do occasionally produce useful c

I don’t think Xi cares about carbon. He just wants to build as much power as possible so that China becomes an economic powerhouse (no pun intended). Imagine what would happen in Europe or the US if power is 1/5th the price or lower. I

I could make a counterargument that at least Elon and Trump are making it clear that they are teaming up. There are probably countless other big companies that are much more secretive about their collaborations.

Meanwhile battery energy storage deployments increase about 100% per year in both China and the US. That means battery deployments will have tripled in... 2026. Just to show the difference in growth rate, if batteries would keep increasing

Thanks. I think you’re right. This is my source: https://tradingeconomics.com/germany/exports-by-category 295B for “vehicles other than railway, tramway”. I don’t know where the 17% on that page comes from. It’s indeed

I don’t know about you, but I actually watched interviews with Trump and he mostly seems to indicate that he doesn’t want a nation-wide ban on abortion. It should be up for individual states to decide. Although I’m in favor of more choice f

To the people downvoting me again. Please come with arguments instead of just clicking the “I disagree” button. I’ll happily be proven wrong but I need someone to do it. Just clicking “I disagree” doesn’t add anything to the discussion. Tha

Same in the US. Especially in the party that now lost. Maybe believing in some equality fairyland where everything is fair and equal doesn’t work. Doesn’t work for the US and doesn’t work for Germany. You need to let crazy people do crazy t

Do note only 256 GB of storage. Should be enough for most people, but at the same time can become very annoying once it gets full.

The battery revolution is here. Each year the price declines while energy density goes up. Just a few minutes ago, for example, Xiaomi released a video of their SU7 Ultra on the Nordschleife. They got a time of 6:46:874 [1] which places the
