Corporate bonds are also at a record low, even so much that there’s talk of an increasing rate of zombie companies that just stay alive because of loaned money and will collapse as soon as interest rates will go up again.

Base load power generation is not something that you need, but it’s more of a description how to run an electric grid with slow power plants like nuclear or coal. With renewables you of course need a different strategy.

I find it hard not to come to the conclusion that similar mechanisms are at work when you see for instance the economic situation of Afro-Americans in the United States.

Solaris was released under a copyleft license (CDDL). How did they do that. When I google it I find your comment as the first result.

Lots of C/C++ programs do stuff that won’t work on ARM. Be it highly optimized assembly or intrinsics or reliance on memory access being atomic and having total store order.
