DM is a request for urgent attention, the social contract per team or per individual might be “respond to DMs immediately” but there’s no need to actually respond with the answer whatever question was asked. As an example: my teams know tha

Heh heh. Reminds me of one CEO of mine proudly holding up a Nokia n95 Navigator and telling us how the iPhone was trash and the n95 was the future of mobile phones. This was his excuse for not signing our retail provider up to sell Apple ph

Liking nukes falls into the same category as liking dams: I want to believe they aren’t going to happen because they are economically infeasible. The same money would buy significantly more capacity in wind/solar/storage. The stic

Without understanding of the ideology behind RoboDebt there is no way to discuss either making it work or mitigating the damage it does. The ideology drives the definition of “working”.

The cost of nuclear is two or three times higher than coal for the same output, with capital costs amortised over the 50 year life of the plant. The cadmium you worked with was either a result of handling dopants in a wafer manufacturing pl

My attack on the prime minister is based on his belief in prosperity theology, not just because he belongs to a particular faith. If you want to dismiss that as “not cool” then knock yourself out. In the meantime we have a ruling class who

At which point the question is: what transactions does this law apply to? If my rent is a personal transaction, what about my dope trade? If my million-a-year pot business is not covered what about my prostitutes and arms deals?

And yet we have RoboDebt and public drunkenness laws. We have a Pentecostal prime minister whose cabinet toes the line that poor people are bad and deserve to be punished. Your faith in the administration is sorely misplaced.

Flash, I love you, but we only have fifteen minutes to save the world! The major problem with nuclear is the up front cost and lead time. The up front cost includes the carbon pollution created by the mountains of concrete required for the

You made quite the leap of logic there. The article is about people whose suicide attempts failed, and ended up with them alive in hospital. Of these people, only about 10% will successfully suicide later. There is no connection between the

The ratio of wet and dry masses for a launch vehicle also depends on ISP, thrust, and aerodynamics. You can have an extremely high ISP and thus a lot of theoretical delta-v but you waste it all because your thrust ratio is below 1 and the v

Completely irrelevant analogy. Social housing doesn’t have to cater to whims and desires like whether someone wants gold taps. It’s not a question of how many bedrooms a person really desires, it’s like a soup kitchen where there is one dis
