Reactors will not be forced to shut down, in the future. Instead, they will be shut down as unable to produce power at a competitive price. Those that continue operating will depend even more on taxpayer subsidies than they do now. The mo

Older kernels are instead vulnerable to older bugs, since fixed, of not less severity, but more systematically exploited.

Promoting Rust might feel good, but it does not have the desired effect. Promoting action that would have the desired effect would tend more to have the desired effect, even though less personally gratifying. Your choice, but being seen to

You charge enough to discourage the behavior. Evidently, a smaller amount did not suffice.

Murderers generally don't have access to a billion dollars. Alex Jones does.

Punitive damages have to be large enough to discourage the harmful behavior. That means they need to be scaled to the budget of the person doing the harm, not to the harm itself. Maybe the State should keep whatever of the punitive part see

If they could not scare up the scratch even to maintain the first one, what are the chances of building a new one? And of them maintaining that one? That said, the I-35 bridge in Minnesota could have been maintained, but was re-built at rui

You have evidently not seen the cost curves of renewable energy sources. They have declined through many orders of magnitude, with no end in sight, similarly to transistors following Moore's Law. "Will be" is exactly what

Decarbonizing aviation will probably be achieved via conversion to using liquified hydrogen ("LH2") fuel. It is not clear whether existing airframes can be retrofitted to burn hydrogen. There is not room in the wings for LH2 fuel

The secret is to park by the exit, and go backwards. The small, useful stuff is closer to the exit, and the flatpaks are there.

They gather dust, which can cut output 50%. That is on top of the heat induced loss of conversion efficiency, and reduced panel life. And, yes, you need to build transmission lines. They go better in pastures and floating on canals and rese

You can shut down coal plants by simply providing power more cheaply than they could afford to continue operating. Renewables achieve this, and just need to be built out. But building out takes time.

Putting solar panels in deserts is a very stupid use of those solar panels, in any case. The only reason solar farms are placed in deserts is that pig-ignorant investors love the idea, so there are oceans of money earmarked for it.

It would be disastrous if this went ahead. Failing to draw down atmospheric CO2 ensures increasing ocean acidification, threatening the basis of the whole ocean ecosystem.

You seem unaware of the huge tax you pay for continued access to petroleum. To a large degree, most of military expense is to maintain that access. Energy from renewables will be vastly cheaper than humanity has ever experienced since the f

Nukes are expensive compared to, particularly, renewables. Gas turbines will be outcompeted, too, as renewables cost continues on down. With recent advances in power extraction via what amount to thermocouples, no-moving-parts nukes might h

No, because almost everything that could be done about averting climate catastrophe would be massively good for the economy and global prosperity, immediately. It could be uncomfortable for owners of coal mines and oil supply chain companie

Seems like you could 3D print them. Cheaper even to buy a 3D printer to make them with than to buy.

Note I am not complaining about the tech, just terminology. Everything Trail of Bits does is exemplary.

This is not "JiT" by any normal definition. I.e., the eBPF is translated to machine code at registration time, just once, and the resulting machine code executed unsupervised thereafter. There is no hint of runtime analysis of usa
