> the idea that N small reactors with N times as many parts will somehow require less maintenance is wishful thinking.

Not sure that's necessarily true. Building a lot of something allows you to learn fast and update designs for higher reliability/maintainability. Building smaller units could also free up costs that go into current designs, just because of their size. Certainly designing for zero-staff, eliminates one big source of unreliability.

I'm beginning to agree.

Piercing the corporate veil is reserved for "serious misconduct" [1]. If you're told someone will sell an unlicensed deposit-like product [2], promise depositors (their words) "will not lose [their] funds" [3] and pay a ten or 20% interest rate, and you give them money to do it, you aided and abetted fraud. (At the very least you were grossly negligent with your LPs' money.) You should have to make the people you scammed and hoped to profit off whole.

> I guess what you're saying is that apprehension about the motives of of corporate executives is so irrational, it's akin to a psychological problem.

No, that wasn't what I was saying there, but coincidentally, yes, I would agree with that statement. For one, 'corporate' is a phenomenally lazy word used to invoke some mental image of besuited sociopathy, from a million children's movies and internet debates. In the real world, 'corporate executives' - human beings, mothers and fathers, working in management careers at (large) companies - are humans doing jobs, like any other humans doing jobs.

I've been involved (as an engineer) in C-level meetings with people like that, as well as worked alongside them in the same teams, and my experience - thoroughly unsurprisingly given what I said above - is that they are pretty ordinary human beings on the whole. I'm sure there are differences between companies in terms of their cultures or values, but that's company-specific and not discipline-specific or seniority-specific.

I get that your experience is that these are people who mete out decisions from on high, which affect you in sometimes-negative and always-unforeseen ways, and that makes you feel like a mediaeval peasant might have felt towards his feudal liege. And maybe it's helpful, from a cathartic standpoint, like I said above, to picture them as evil baddies from kids' movies. But no, the reality is more banal.

(Incidentally, I think those who worship company CEOs - and suchlike - are equally stupid, from the Elon bros to the HackerNews types who recite stories about startup founders as though they were superheroes. These people underestimate the role of chance and – in a way, very similarly to you – overattribute the differences between execs/founders vs regular workers to a proportionate difference in their inner essence [in their case, they think intelligence & industry; in your case, you think amorality]. Both are fantasies.)
That's not the point, construction costs should be ~< 8 billion.
current mini reactors cost 1 billion per unit (although I expect those costs to shrink)
However 2000 employee is absurd and only a result of insane paranoid regulation and also because those plants were designed before modern computer science, therefore they probably underexploit sensors, and semi-autopilot abilities or autotuning.
Russian models are actively reducing the needed number of employee for maintenance:
construction cost:
Specifications include a $1,200 per kW overnight construction cost
54 month planned

requiring about 35% fewer operational personnel than the VVER-1000

This was for VVER 1200
however the new VVER TOI will be the first to use software?
> United information space is a multi-platform software and hardware complex intended for control of the engineering data for engineering, designing, as well as arranging communication between territorially-distanced project participants.

edit:
can someone help me calculate the construction costs of a VVER 1200 ?
it output ~1200MWe of energy
Specifications include a $1,200 per kW overnight construction cost
if 1 MWe is 1000Kwh (don't know if we're talking per hour..)
then total construction cost would be
1200 * 1000 == 1200000 dollars
1200000 is a mere million, that doesn't make any sense, how to calculate?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VVER#:~:text=Specifications%20...
edit I was dumb the equation is
1200 * 1000 * 1200 == 1440000000.
Therefore, if that is to be believed,
a VVER 1200 produce 1200MWe and only cost 1.4 billion in construction costs (without the small interest rate and the operating cost)
That is extremely cheap, the pathetic and hyped small reactors from rolls royce cost 1 Billion per unit and produce < 200 MWe...
That makes the VVER 1200 6 times cheaper and probably the cheapest energy source on earth (again assuming those numbers are true), and the VVER TOI successor should be even cheaper given it is constructed in 17 months less.
Huh? Over here in Germany, every single step of a treatment is documented and has country-wide standard rates. The actual cost depends on the specifics of the treatment, expressed in various parameters like required personell and their working time, goods used, complexity etc.
In the end of course the insurance company pays for everything, but you still get to see how much everything costs - insurers are of course very keen to keep costs down.
On the other hand, I know a few MDs which constantly complain how much of a hassle it is to document everything, but live over here in „liberarian dream land“ is very much real and a joy as the patient.
Can anyone enlighten me? I'd say before I gave up with Film, that Fifth Element was the deepest tripe.

And the Crypto Andys were all like "you just don't understand DeFi!" to which the retort is "No, you just don't understand finance".

If you believe the statement "if someone is promising you consistent above-market returns it's either a scam or there is unknown or undisclosed risk" it might be true that you don't understand DeFi to some degree. DeFi isn't a single market, it's millions of micro markets that are accessible through what amounts to a single API.

So when you have millions of markets with different returns that can be traded in every imaginable way (and some you probably haven't imagined), throw in an insane amount of dumb money, people willing to borrow at high interest rates (relative to the real world), and a laundry list of factors that introduce inefficiencies into the market, it's quite easy to find pockets of above-average returns if you're smart. I have no idea if Stablegains was actually smart, but it's more than possible to achieve above-market gains in DeFi without exposing yourself to outsized risks.
I'd have a hard time trusting their current documentation which seems to have been heavily edited since this whole incident began, but frankly the subheader on their main landing page is "Stablegains makes it simple to earn high and stable interest from DeFi lending markets." Market(s). Plural. That at least heavily implies in their marketing that they weren't taking all of their users funds and shoving it into a single asset.

Is it any better to make multiple versions of something?

If you add a $500 part to a $10k item, but charge $5000 more, when you could instead make only the high tier device for probably the same price(Economies of scale on the upgrade parts plus not having to deal with the costs of multiple SKUs), almost everyone is worse off.

The only benefit to the existence of low tier items with only small differences from high tier, that i can see, is that the used ones might get sold off cheaply and be available to the lowest income people when they upgrade.

"Insane" is subjective. The point is nothing safe yields ten or 20%. Someone saying "you will not lose your funds" [1] when paying above-market yields is lying.

This is not a binary choice - SPA's remain a valid pattern for the right use case. The point is knowing when to apply the pattern.

1. Watching a new interesting show or a re-run on Netflix, sipping a cup of coffee (or having a few drags of vape occasionally).

2. Going on a long aimless drive with country music, and stopping somewhere along the coastline to enjoy the view of sea or ships sailing at a distance.

To the same extent that money is meaningful.
The main reason it's significant is because it's cheaper. We'd all[1] rather fling servers running containers all over the place, but leaving those servers running all the time even when nobody is using them is expensive. Serverless stuff means you can just pay per request and they take care of listening for the connection and all that so you just pay for the time your business logic has to run.

I suspect healthcare providers won't give you a price before they are done, because they don't know what it'll cost.

If they open you up, they might have a complication or run into some other issue that must be fixed before closing you down.

Say allergic reaction to drugs or something that require extra care.

I suppose one could argue that healthcare providers should assume this liability and give you a price upfront, factoring into it the risk of complications, etc.

But in the end, if you don't pay for your own bad luck, then you might as well have universal healthcare :)

You don't write to your A. G. to get your money back. (You won't.) You do as an act of civic service.

These people will defraud again. Their investors will back people who will defraud again. Putting people in jail doesn't get anyone's money back. But it deters the next fraud.

Medicare for All can't function well as a single payer system - single payer doesn't work because it kills off the benefit of market-competitive forces; in single payer systems there are gatekeepers who decide what's covered, what's not covered, who might be eligible and what the criteria for them to be eligible is - which all acts as a single point of failure.

I like Andre Yang's proposal - where you allow private insurance but you also have a government offering to compete - both the government option and private options acting as counterweights against the other in terms of competitive forces.
If you had a lot of capital, you could also deploy that capital completely outside of crypto, multiply it, then come back into crypto to have a larger stake in the crypto assset than you started. So your comment is true, but really applies to every freely traded economic asset.

Anyway, the mining/staking in crypto isn't primarily about increasing wealth, it is about defending the blockchain. In this aspect, there is a huge difference between the PoW and PoS. If someone has >50% of a PoS token, there is no way to usurp their control of the blockchain unless they willingly sell their tokens. With PoW, because the mining uses a different resource (energy), it is always possible to invest more capital to usurp the control of the blockchain by creating a larger hashrate. The ownership structure of the actual PoW token doesn't really matter, because outside capital can be introduced into the system.

The people who make this claim will cite easier access to desired procedures, and higher quality treatment.

> Most social media characterize finance as some ethical vice or organized political power structure - and those people simply don't understand finance.

Just because quantitative analysis has solid grounding doesn't mean that its use is unrelated to ethics. The finance establishment is an organized power structure whose decisions are political.

If you want an analogy, I'm pretty sure that you'll find plenty of people who used ballistics to achieve goals that you would find pretty unethical.
A few years ago I got to sit in a meeting between reps from a bunch of GenIV reactor startups, and a former chair of the NRC (not Jaczko). The reactor people said their main problem was that the NRC required near-complete blueprints before they would even look at a design. Getting to that point took several hundred million dollars. Then the NRC would give a flat yes or no. If no then you were out of business.

That's a pretty difficult environment for investors. The reactor people said just breaking the process into phases would be a huge help. The NRC person was unsympathetic, said it wasn't the NRC's job to help develop nuclear technology, and was uninterested in climate change.

At the time, it seemed rather earth-shattering to be programming in the same language on both the front-end and the back-end without a browser plug-in or applet. The possibilities such an arrangement opened up seemed potentially vast.

Up until that point, it had been a basic assumption that the front-end and back-end had to be done in different languages if you wanted a site/app above a certain quality threshold (though Java applets and Silverlight (C#) had previously provided a way to run the same language on the front and back ends).
