Can you provide a citation? I've spent five minutes on Google and all results indicate the opposite, that the title "founder" holds no legal meaning or standing. It does look like you need an agreement with the board and through shareholders to hold the title (and the title would be helpful in some situations), but that the title itself is meaningless from a legal definition.

It is encouraging that real scientists (not just "pro-science" laymen) seem to be listening to these ideas and producing studies on them while the media ignores and ridicules them.
The glaring problem (pun intended) with solar and wind is that the sun doesn't always shine and the wind doesn't always blow and we don't have a good way to store energy for those sunless and windless intervals.

Yeah, there's no upper limit on energy usage. In several decades, mark my words, we will have a solar panel related deforestation problem.
Nuclear power provides enough megawatts for creating sustainable, electricity based heavy industry. If we're going to become zero carbon, that means we also need a system to fuel steel foundries, chemical manufacuring, and cement mixers without coal.

The market at least has a means of rewarding the rational and punishing the irrational. As you imply, cronyism is how irrational advantage is gained. And price controls are another form of cronyism, as they exclusively protect the entrenched in a market from competition.
> I'm sick of companies building their products off the backs of the personal/hobbiest/small business market, and then when they get enough recognition and buzz, switch to essentially an "enterprise-only" pricing structure, completely screwing over the users who made them successful in the first place.

As someone said on the Internet, what you are sick of is capitalism. Because that is how basically business work. You get a customer base, but as your company grows you leave the less profitable customers behind. And, it makes a lot of economic sense.

As, I think that capitalism works. Maybe the solution is to remove part of the software from the market. Many institutions (schools, universities, or even the military) could spend resources on creating the tools that their students, and society as a whole can use. The goal would be more aligned with citizens needs instead of maximizing profit.

At the same time, companies can still capitalize on the different needs of the enterprise software. So, business continuation is assured.

Our current problem is that almost all platforms are designed for profit but platforms, by definition, are foundations. And that foundations not only are used for businesses but also for society.

It is the equivalent of a country were all streets and roads are private. And, the owners can decide who passes or not by their streets, and how much they pay. That is extremely good for businesses, not so good to grow an economy or a free society.
As populations move north to escape climate change those areas will also become more adaptable to solar. Plus the areas they left will be well suited for solar as long as there is adequate infrastructure to move the electricity north.

Wind and solar are very diffuse forms of energy, so harvesting them is hard and costly both in money, and most importantly for the biosphere. For instance, the universe radiates 3K of heat, which we could harvest and use. We don't because it's too diffuse.

And then factor in that about 1/2 of all Covid deaths (in the US) are in people over the age of 75 (a population of just 22m).

A focus on vaccinating that demographic will quickly, dramatically reduce the mortality rate of Covid.

Out of the 104 million people under the age of 25 in the US, only ~400 people have died from Covid.

Out of 220 million people under the age of 55, there have only been ~15,000 deaths.

We have a very blatant demographic target that we can focus on to rapidly knock down the mortality rate.
You have to weigh the waste disposal and storage costs against the external costs of other fuel sources. What is the "cleanup cost" of carbon emissions from fossil fuels? Even wind power has a waste disposal cost; the blades are often made of toxic material and must be buried when they wear out.

The scary radioactivity of long lived isotopes can be dealt with via geological storage. There is plenty of rock underneath us that can be tunneled into. We can store basically limitless quantities of radioactive waste deep underground, forever.

And then there is reprocessing. France and other countries aggressively reprocess their spent fuel, freeing up new fuel without additional uranium mining. There are highly toxic biproducts from reprocessing that must be stored for a long time; however, these products are small in volume.

Given your initial example was Gab, I'd say that if we want to preserve freedom we must have the ability to make those things unpublishable.

To quote Karl Popper:

"Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.—In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant."
In my opinion, out of all of the CAD you listed, Solvespace is by far the best to teach someone starting out. The interface is not absolutely overwhelming unlike every other option, it is super fast and lightweight so you don't get frustrated, unlike every other option, and it is pretty amazingly reliable.

It is definitely limited in the complexity of items you can make with it, but it is amazing for learning mechanical CAD.

To support that you'd have to show that Italians have order of magnitudes higher deficiency than most of Nordic countries, and I don't think it is possible.

Another country with equivalent sun exposure to Italy is Greece, again orders of magnitude less deaths (like Germany). They also had strong lockdowns and early enough.

It's the measures. Analyzing what happened in Europe (and still happens) can't be explained with anything else.

Compare it with fires. Small fires are easy to extinguish. Pretending "it will go away" will simply result in a big fires. Eventually there won't be anything to burn. With people, eventually everybody who can and "feels the heat" will try to protect themselves.

Installing a solar panel can be done today, for a $100. Tomorrow it will be $50, and it’ll keep going down until the market dictates the price.

Nuclear takes years to build and generate output, and the price is going up. It would be foolish to build a nuclear plant today unless you have a specific need for it (small location, little sunlight/wind).

Personally I think that in 20-40 years time most people will get the bulk of their energy from local solar panels, with the grid, backed by a mix of renewables and existing non-renewable sources filling in all the gaps.

The very important difference being that these countries did not explicitly say: "We will break international law". You might think that's a technicality but in international law that's really an important distinction.
The sentiment of the post is what confuses me. The idea that California wildfires are caused by forest mismanagement is being covered by many reputable news sources. The sibling posts contain four such links. Some of those sites may have ideological leanings such that they focus more on that mismanagement than climate change, but the other sources have ideological leanings so they focus more on climate change than forest mismanagement. Regardless, we’re not talking about some Russian Facebook bot here.

Due to my country's political situation I use the Tor Browser a lot. Bing is the only search engine that reliably works with Tor. I thank them for that.

Google merely claims "your network is sending automated queries" and refuses to work or frustrates with 20 rounds of Captchas with ever-increasing time delays before ultimately rejecting service.

Sites with Cloudflare "protection" are also unusable through Tor Browser. Why use Captchas when you don't allow the user after passing those? I sincerely doubt they cannot tell a "robot" from a human user. Either they are incompetent or simply hostile to Tor users.
> If we were to eliminate waste, less people would have jobs.

... or more people would be available to take on work that's more needed and not currently being done. Otherwise, why have machines and technology, if they all primarily automate tasks your fellow laborers could be doing?

I think that work which exist only to provide jobs is a waste at societal level. But it's also a waste at company level - why would you make your product labor-intensive to maintain, where you could make it robust instead? In reality, the trick is to ensure you're not the one paying for maintenance - and then you save money by making more fragile products.
Honestly, I find it distasteful to have to spend time working around somebody's incompetence at securing systems.

Doing it on your time means you delay delivering on your project and you let whoever did this get away with wasting everybody elses time.

I agree about Google bad recommendations, but for me Spotify it at that same bad place too. It used to be way better, but now 80% of my daily recommended playlists are stuff that I have in my own music library, just shuffle played. It's absolutely terrible.
Except... we don't know what the deaths are. It will take tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of years to know what the death toll is from nuclear power. Because humanity is stuck with the waste for hundreds of thousands of years.

We use only tiny amount of the energy available, then have waste to deal with through the ages.

I'm in favor of nuclear, but wow are we ever terrible at innovating & trying to make a respectful, compelling go at it. Kerry shutting down the Integral Fast Reactor keeps coming back to haunt me as one of those strong indicators that America doesn't want to put itself up to the challenge of doing nuclear responsibly.
Simulating Democracy
For a more dense read, see the whitepaper[1] from Oak Ridge National Laboratory about FCM fuels, which seems to be one of the key innovations of this reactor type. Instead of using pellets of Uranium oxide directly inside the reactor, this method encapsulates the fuel in a high temperature ceramic material which makes it very unlikely for the reactor to 'melt down' the way that mainstream reactors can.

Filter by 'Weekly Number of Deaths by Age' and you will see that it is literally the safest time ever for children and young adults because they are not allowed to go outside and do dumb stuff. Yes, some of them have died because of COVID, but the number is staggeringly small.
> Only around ~6k did not have other comorbidities.

I thought the figure was 6% had no comorbidity, which would be ~12K people.

One figure I'd like to see is what percentage of people don't have some comorbidity. I mean, 1/3 of the US population is obsese and another 1/3 are overweight. 10% or so of us are diabetics. 20% or whatever smoke.

I suspect it is rather high, which would mean your 6% statistic isn't as indicative as you might think.

1. Forever. Uranium is a heavy metal, it's toxic regardless of it's radioactivity.

2. The US already has one [1]. Congress stopped it's opening, but it's sitting there built ready to be used. Europe also is constructing a disposal site [2]

3. Like I wrote in my comment, bury it in an area with no groundwater.

4. France does recycle it's nuclear waste.

5. We do, as I pointed out above. And for the second time, this waste is fuel for some of the reactors currently being built.

The reality is that nuclear waste will have minimal if any impact on the rate of uranium contamination. Naturally occurring uranium is responsible for vastly more contamination than nuclear waste. Streams and rivers flowing down from mountains pick up uranium in the sediment and bring it downstream: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/uranium-contaminates-drinking-w...

Exactly.

One time my father in law had a bunch of people over to watch an outdoor movie on his new projector. For sounds, he got a Bose smart sound bar with a few companion speakers that connect to it wirelessly. There wasn't a wire in sight besides the power cord.

Well, needless to say, there were sound issues because each individual speaker needed to be connected to the wi-fi, which wasn't great because we were out in the back yard. Almost ruined the whole night.

Luckily I had a 100ft ethernet cable and we were able to move the router out to the backyard. It fixed the issue, but only after an hour long delay. I couldn't help but think how much nicer it would have been to just have some good old fashion dumb speakers connected with speaker wire to a receiver.
According to sero survey done in India 40% population had Corona anti bodies in May.

By that logic, herd immunity must be kicking in right?
