I assume you are labelling trump the authoritarian. He has very little ability to impact on the majority of US spending, whilst a true authoritarian should be able to. The system has been corrupted to such an extent that it is basically imp

The drivers of this in my view are: 1) flight from USD assets given views that one cannot depend on US assets as safe havens 2) central banks increasing gold holdings 3) purchases by Chinese investors as they have few places to invest their

The price of houses has just gone up because they have removed a real estate tax. Simple, and short sighted. The taxes need to be raised from somewhere so now let's see what convoluted and complex schemes they come up with to do that.

Introverts probably socialise less because they find it more tiresome or find fewer opportunities they would enjoy. Would they fall under "unhealthy"?

Similar to another comment here: the principle agent issue here is the person designing the spec for busses is not the person paying for the buses. If it was the case then the market would settle on a common standard as everyone seeks the l

I remember the days of cpu clock speed being displayed on the outside of the computer case using an led display. There was also this turbo button but I'm not sure whether that really did anything.

And also, to those that know, is what Google is doing significantly market leading? It seems that a lot of other robot demos are about jumping around over motor control.

I wonder if this is because a memory cap was reached at that output token. Perhaps they route conversations to different hardware depending on how long they expect it to be.

Is there any reason to believe that antibiotic resistance is a problem given the potential for new ones and the rotation of existing ones?

The causes for this, in my mind, are largely because of: 1) regulatory frameworks (which work to protect vested interests in my world view), mean that costs of doing business are higher, defending incumbents from competition. Banking regula

I guess pedantically it would be 15% to 20% is what happened. I guess what I am also trying to say is that the capacity for production is there for much higher, but it's just not being utilised. See Tesla sales being flat/down, or

Milei continues to disappoint in not standing by his libertarian principles and continuing to intervene in the FX markets. Let that peso go!

Electric car sales were 20% of all sales, so 26% increase is hardly a "surge". Going from a low base this is supposed to be higher. I think what we are seeing is that electric car interest isn't as strong as governments hoped

To the comments that talk about Iranian politics: Iran under a monarchy will do well, perhaps even limited democracy. The monarchies of the Arab world seem to be doing well, and not by chance. Democracy alone is not good for any country in

This is called marginal pricing. Everyone pays the price of the marginal producer. In some cases they try to get the data centres to pay for their infrastructure costs but the argument is that customers don't pay this normally but do s

My karma gets hit for having views against green energy and conservative leaning economics. There is a problem here with high karma correlating with being in the same echo chamber as everyone else. I mainly want to get to the downvote thres

I think the history of this is something like: - it was an expensive vaccine - it was therefore initially introduced to women as a cervical cancer thing - HPV however hits men at around half the cancer rate of women but through throat cance

He bought the shares on a quarterly option expiry date. He had no intention on getting good value on these shares, but to push the price even higher through gamma hedging. This was pure manipulation (as it so often is with musk)

So manufacturing hydro and solar releases no CO2? How long until those panels need to be replaced and recycled?

Sure, if someone wishes to completely disconnect from the grid then they are free to do so. I don't think there is anyone stopping anyone who chooses to do this. The problem arises when someone wishes to remain connected to the grid

Or he knows what he's talking about. Could be either but you've chosen the reason that supports your perspective. I appreciate that he may be conflicted.

Do you even know anything about the relative death rates historically? You should look it up.

This is not true. I assume you are talking about the french nuclear reactors and their abysmal capacity factors? The reason for the french case is that they were required to reduce output to allow more space for other new energy generatio

Is it less climate unfriendly than the alternatives. Every form of energy generation releases CO2. Gas also has the benefit that it doesn't need all sorts of extras to make it dispatachable when needed (which also require CO2). I forgo

by m101 1y ago
It is expensive because of the regulatory burdens associated with making it unreasonably safe. By unreasonably safe I mean that harms predicted by radiation models are unscientific, and death rate expectations are far lower than alternative

When I referenced long lasting I mean that some nuclear power stations are no forecast to keep going for 120 years. CO2 in the atmosphere is also long lasting, do you have a problem with that type of storage? Spent nuclear fuel is dangerous
