That was a policy decision, not a necessary decision. They printed money to pay workers in Rhineland and because it was a calibrate choice by them in order to force a revision WW1 settlement.

This is mostly wrong. Weimar Germany for example was actually doing well economically before they decided to print huge amounts of money for their foreign policy and that was for foreign policy reasons. In 2009 inflation actually collapsed

While this is not totally false, this way of understanding monetary theory, 'Modern Monetary Theory' is not accepted by economics. While conceptually it is not false, many of the conclusion this school builds on this is not very a

So your logic is, only wind and solar can improve and nuclear can never improve.

PWR are not actually good at that. In theory, with a liquid fueled reactor you should be able to be almost completely load following. Most GenIV reactor that are trying to go threw regulation is able to load follow at least as good or bette

There has been a lot of research into this. The main thing is actually learning effects, the second thing is 'mass production'. If you have teams that have build reactors before, they will be much better. Once you have people on t

I think all of those are not really true when we are thinking about modern plants that you would build if you were really serious. If you really go into nuclear today you would try to use something like Terrestrial Energy Molten Salt reacto

There is really one reason, the population doesn't like it, so they have to pretend reasons exist to build solar or wind. The cost of waste storage is tiny. By far the best would to join with Canada on next generation nuclear.

The idea that unibody design can't be made as good for any work a truck has to do is simply nonsense. And that video proves nothing other then about the vehicles actually tested. > I think GM and the new Hummer has the best chance

Its amazing that people just claim this nonsense. Where are you getting this information TSLAQ twitter? Tesla is literally building a gigantic factory that they have already invested billions into and they literally have about a million peo

Its not really true actually. Repeatably starting is actually very bad for the battery and you don't get nearly as much back as you lose.

I understand the complaint, but it really has nothing to do with the question about manufacturing scaling. > None of those legacy manufacturers have released "real" EVs yet. This is simply not true. ID3, ID4, Mach-E are very r

Can you actually explain what those features are that Cybertruck is missing?

Funny how people always use self-driving to claim anything Tesla says will not happen. Yet other predictions did come true. Tesla has managed to keep up its growth up for quite a long time even when people made fun of them for their claims.

No. Falcon 9 never costs less then $50-60 million for costumers. $30 million is maybe internal cost for SpaceX (likely SpaceX is lower by now). The Dragon however is more expensive then the rocket itself. I would be shocked if it was less t

The amount of units in Total war has basically not been going up, because they value animated units to much. You are still playing with low 1000s of units, and this has been the case for a decade. The AI is also not really much better. Even
