Blaming capitalism for government failures while stating the solution is more and bigger government seems to be a misunderstanding of what the root cause is.

Are we saying that worldwide the significant changes are exclusively government failures worldwide? A government works with a people led view, not the grifters that exist at the moment, hence why I do not agree a publicly employed person should be allowed to have another job.

Depends on the load, but nuclear isn’t dependent upon batteries or the wind.

True, but for most places you'll now be dependent on some other country selling you uranium. Which is something many countries are now factoring in into these kind of decisions.

I always hoped reactor designs like CANDU would result in turn warheads into clean power!

Depends on over provision then. If lowest demand in the grid is 20GW, average 30GW highest demand is 50GW then you need to be able to generate 50GW, despite nuclear costs only being specced assuming they can always find 20GW of customers.

It’s the same problem as wind has where demand and supply are variable.

Nuclear cant scale up in an affordable cost as the first GW is amortised over 8,760 hours a year, but the top 10GW is only needed 50 hours a year. If it’s £8760 to generate 10GW for a year, that means you have to spend £43,800 to be able to cope with a peak of 50GW, but the average demand of 30GW means the average cost is £14,600 - 65% more than the average “base load”


Good engineering discussion from gamers nexus https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bWUxObt1efQ

Just enough to be dangerous.


EVs are sinking ships.

If you could build mass fleets of smaller ships that are sail and electric powered to move electric cars and containers of batteries.


Facebook appeared cooked after the parents of the original user base started using it (boomers). But it seems like that’s profitable because they are so dumb


Having high intelligence stats can come at the cost of speech skills and the life path can lead not one that isn’t very conducive to social wellbeing


Sounds strange to me as well, ubnt has been the apple networking experience


Tiny pilot is also an option


Was gonna say the same thing, here: https://tinypilotkvm.com/


Is it really $400 per host?

Why would one pick a TinyPilot over NanoKVM or JetKVM?


Microsoft did $245B in revenue in 2024.


Oh sorry, I misread the parent
