So just like before the industrial revolution then. Because back then (pre-1750 or so), most goods were made for the wealthy as well.

You just dated yourself to a very specific time. Before that, Sun was the gold standard and Apple was known for terrible software. I still use a 30 year old text editor because it just works better than modern editors. There are plenty o

That and a large amount of bots operated by people with a financial interest in LLMs succeeding.

Did someone seriously just down-mod a farmer in a sub-discussion about running a farm? PS To the "clear-thinking" guy at the top of this thread...this is why...you only think your thinking is clear. If its a topic you know nothin

"The basic services that keep us alive (e.g. farmers producing our food) tend to also be "easy"" The reason you think that is that you know nothing about agriculture. But it isn't true. Right now, farmers in the U

The US only used long range precision missiles for the first 3 days of the war. Since then, its been almost all JDAMs. The interceptors got used a lot more but even with those we only went through about 5% of the stockpile. This is CNBC.

By 2017, only 3 German NPPs were online. So multiply those NPP numbers by 5x. Also, your claims about the German grid are non-sense. Germany produces several times as much CO2 per watt generated as the US and about 7x more CO2 per watt a

Its State Capitalism (which is a complete misnomer), in about 2% of the country which is in "special economic zones" around major ports. In reality it is "socialism with Chinese characteristics". The number of own goal

Hate to break it too you, but LLMs made an awful lot of the content people thought came from the Gaza war. There was a small group of people who tried to help the media verify content for publication but the many in the media didn't s

There is nothing resilient about renewables. Ask Spain about that. They aren't disrupted by one shock event but instead they are disrupted almost daily (and I'm not talking about nighttime). Also, Europe is too far north for So

The rare earths do come from China and that's where most of the environmental damage they cause happens. Rare earths can be mined almost anywhere. They aren't rare but they also aren't concentrated because they aren't

The GWOT was 7% of the US military budget. Also, the US doesn't get oil from the Middle East anymore. Its been about 10 years since we did.

For reference, that's about 4x the worldwide average electricity price.

How is closing your nuclear plants working out for you? Germany burns the lowest grade coal known to man to make up for the loss of its nuclear fleet. Germany has one of the dirtiest grids in the world and the dirtiest grid in the develope

No...its valuable to know if the drone did its job. That and the extra expense of the boards makes it not really so useful in practice.

They prefer what works. So it depends on the EM jamming the other side has at that point in the line. Some parts of the line are covered in old fiber optic cable because they are near somewhere important so the Russians have EM jammers th

This article is largely non-scientific propaganda. LCOE is a fake stat that is never used to actually calculate any cost at any point. And anytime you use variable generation, you need to keep a spinning reserve, otherwise you get a black

Cool, now do Fauci... PS I've always assumed all politicians lie, I'm sure you don't think Pelosi or Bush Jr for example were some paragons of truth. Doesn't make it OK, but have some perspective.

It also doesn't help that many news sources will knowingly fudge the truth. There are topics about which they are constant sources of misinformation. Seems like depending on the topic (anything science related) you wouldn't want

The US drives on the right (which is the right) side. So why would the US switch? Its really just Australia, Japan, India and the UK that drive on the left. The other 190ish countries all drive on the right. PS Your 240V electric grid wo

Only the "kids" hardware needs this. The adult/anonymous Internet doesn't. That's the whole point.

As I said, it depends on the state. I've had to sign for wine before.

You don't allow adults on the kids sites. So your theoretical pedo would have to provide ID to get the "kids" hardware. And the "kids" hardware can't go on the normal/adult/anonymous Internet. Done

That's a good point. However, its possible to police YouTube Kids without destroying free speech. Policing the entire Internet and everyone else...not so much. That's the whole point of having the companies providing "kids

You assume you will always like and agree with your current government. And there are European countries who already jail people for political speech the government doesn't like.

If only there was some free speech absolutist who had their very own satellite Internet company. I must be forgetting someone... PS The dishes are hard (but not impossible) to hide.

You do realize that you can just require auths for the kids and not the adults right? It requires a regulatory and hardware solution but its very possible. PS Also, no solution would ever be perfect. Walls don't deny access, they cha

"If your way of talking to kids gets you fired, it was atrocious in the first place." I'm guessing you don't have kids.
