They no longer control their supreme law, nor do they control their own money.

Since there are in a fixed currency arrangement, it makes no sense to see 'nuclear' stopping at the German border. The price is the same across the Eurozone, and the grids are interconnected.

Compare that with the current imports from the UK which not only varies with the exchange rate, but the export influences the exchange rate.

Germany declared itself a nuclear free zone in the same way that Derbyshire declared itself a nuclear free zone in the UK. They knew the nuclear power would come over the grid from areas they were pegged to that weren't so bothered.
As far as I know in Germany any industrial equipment has to be insured for good, including any civilian nuclear operation (not, as in most other nations, with very low ceiling).

> My business produces storytelling videos for e-commerce and we almost got into the television/entertainment business at one point, as it is simply so cheap to pump out middling quality documentaries.

Funny, I stumbled upon a documentary “Meltdown”, which is about the Three Mile Island nuclear incident in 1979.

I expected something along the lines of HBO’s Chernobyl, but it just seems like a very cheap, Discovery-style documentary?

It’s very poorly done, and I stopped watching after 2 episodes.

If you needed money for infrastructure for more arb bot, would you look for random novices and offer them 15% (and raise $3m in VC to market to random novices)? Or would you take out an unsecured personal loan from a bank at a lower rate, or a much lower cost loan from a counterparty involved crypto, especially one who understands the nature your trades?

Are they ignoring their data? Says who?

I guess it’s more comfortable to your worldview to make several jumps:

1. The data must say Woke content sucks

2. Netflix must not be listening to this data

3. Something must be forcing them to ignore it (but hehehe I won’t say why I think that is!)

And pretend that it’s fact. The anti-woke agenda being pushed by the conservative media as a next-generation “roe vs wade” division point has no bearing on me and my country, so I don’t really care. It’s just funny and a bit sad to watch.

1) nonsense. Charging batteries is very efficient. About 90-95% efficient. The idea is to use peaks in power to charge the batteries. Those peaks already exist and don't require new capacity. Every time people complain about broken wind mills, what's actually happening is that they are being turned off to reduce the output: grids are currently bad at handling supply peaks from wind and solar.

2) Yes, lots of them. Luckily, people are buying EVs (aka. batteries with wheels). Soon in the order of tens of gwh per year. Those batteries will be perfect for absorbing supply peaks (just plug the car in). And a growing number of cars can also return power to the grid. And mostly the second life for EV batteries is grid storage after they survive the car they were in. Of course other storage solutions are available as well.

Coal and other carbon sources would have been able to dive much more sharply if the nuclear capacity had remained online or been replaced appropriately. By taking down nuclear capacity, the Germans _kept_ coal and other non-renewables online and prevented them from being replaced by rising renewable sources.

More important to the discussion, note the sharp rise in coal when there is a renewable availability dip. This need to burn coal and gas when renewables have less-than-perfect availability is the conundrum for the Germans.

In most places, there's at least 1 other option in my experience. But there's rarely more than 2 decent options, and there might only be the 1.

This doesn’t explain why paying with Crypto is better though in this use case.

The UK example just shows that a decentralised blockchain approach isn’t required to meet the use case you are describing - in fact it’s worse for the described use case in almost every metric.

There is no recourse for 90%+ of US households if they want wired internet. The company that owns the coaxial wire connection to your home is the only broadband option (download bandwidth only). Comcast is the biggest company, but there is always only 1 coaxial cable connection to each home so only 1 company you will be able to get it from.

If you are one of the lucky few, then you also have the option of fiber internet. But fiber actually provides broadband upload in addition to broadband download, so if you get cut off from fiber, then you are left with no option for broadband upload.
Event handlers in the HTML template look great for toy examples like <button hx-get="/clicked">Click Me</button>.

Personally, I think any reference to code within the HTML is bad - especially anything referencing code like the “clicked” identifier. It starts to look like line noise when there are many event handlers, and also I prefer my HTML to be as pure as possible (which makes validation and editing easy). Instead code and events within the component JavaScript/TypeScript should reference named nodes within the HTML template - nodes named by purpose.

I wrote a frontend framework doing this, and it worked really freaking well and components were a pleasure to code. The template didn’t need any tricky parsing, instead it was just boring HTML. Never mixing HTML and strings avoided most XSS opportunities. Most of the DOM is inherently secure.

For people thinking "pre-fab"/automation is "the answer" to this shortage, I recommend reviewing Brian Potter's blog, Construction Physics.[1]

It ain't so simple. Building sites vary a lot, even in the same neighbourhood. Buildings are very complex, and individuated to meet customer demands. Crucially they are low value per unit mass, so transport starts costing more than on-site construction after two hundred kilometres/miles or so. There are multiple morasses of regulations and regulators.

DeFi/crypto detractors will say "but there's nothing backing it" which is not entirely crazy. After all you could just print out bits of paper and exchange them for money, so long as someone is willing to play that game with you. Blockchain is no different, it's just a clever way to record who has what.

So why do people put billions in crypto but not in random bits of paper such as Pokemon cards?

Liquidity.

This is the magic of the IPO: bits of paper that give you dividend rights to a business suddenly become worth multiples more when it becomes easy to trade them. I'll take a punt on your crappy taxi app if I can jump out of that bet for a small fee. The motivation? Other people will think the same.

Crypto has reinvented the financial system, particularly the part where you can split risks and trade them. There's a whole industry of liquidity providers who basically transport risk across venues and risk classes: prices for the same thing need to be approximately the same across venues, returns for riskier things need to be higher than returns for less risky things. Things that are a bag of risk need to cost something similar to the sum of things in the bag.

This is the exact same as in the traditional financial market: ETFs are bags of stocks, high yield bonds are for riskier issuers, and you can buy the same stock on many exchanges at more or less the same price.

A lot of these trades are really just relative value arbs: something is worth x here, so I can offer it at x + 1 there. When some guy gives it to me at x, I sell it to the other guy at x + 1. If some guy gives me a bag for X + Y, I sell the X to one guy for X + 1 and I sell the Y for Y + 1.

But the liquidity is what allows people to stick loads of money in. They see that you can have a punt on something and get your money back for low slippage, so they give it a go. Whether that's in one scheme or another doesn't matter, but this "put money in a box" analogy is quite apt. Maybe your mechanism is a DAO, maybe it's an AMM, maybe it's some option vault. As long as there's a financial sense in which it can be glued to the rest of the ecosystem, someone will have a go at it.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Russia had encouraged the very unrest that made them worried and indebted. Not because Putin is a Bond villain super genius but just because encouraging chaos and unrest and then playing all sides of a conflict is a standard technique of Russian foreign relations.

Germany has been a large net exporter of electricity for years. 18.9 TWh in 2020. Of that 52.5 TWh were exports and 33.6 TWh were imports.

What you may have missed is: Germany is in the middle of Europe surrounded with a bunch of neighbor countries. Most of them are in the European Union which worked for years on building a joint energy market. Thus various electricity exports and imports are NORMAL. Note also that electricity may travel through more than one country in Europe.

Germany imports huge amounts of energy from other countries, given that it doesn't have much own resources of Gas, Oil, Uranium - it has some coal, though. Coal, too is imported.

Exchanging electricity with other countries will increase massively. In my region there is now a 1 GW power line to Norway to exchange electricity both ways.

Another example: Germany, Denmark, Netherlands and Belgium are investing 135 Billion Euros in a joint offshore wind project.

> Why would anyone buy Tether at this point? There's zero upside potential, after all.

Tether, and "stablecoins" in general are known as the casino chips of Crypto. A way to exchange more volatile crypto for what is supposed to be essentially dollars without creating a taxable event. Assuming crypto is still something people want to trade, that's still a valuable service. Tether isn't supposed to be an investment. It's a money laundering scheme to facilitate the other investments outside of the taxable economy and outside of KYC regulation. Seen from that vantage point, staking pools and "potential upside" is actually not desirable.

WHy would any executive be interested in an investment that takes a decade to even pay its first dollar when renewable prices are dropping exponentially?

Here's what types of storage we have available and their costs and benefits:

https://www.energy.gov/sites/default/files/2019/07/f65/Stora...

Depending on how reliable you need your energy you'll need various energy storage mixes. Judging by the uk, wind can spend an entire month producing at 15% of it's normal output and can spend days at 3%. So you need a LOT of storage if you want to be sure the lights stay on. In the high hundreds of billions of Euros (and considerable ongoing costs given they need the equivalent of replacement eveey 10-20 years) in the case of Germany.

This is disingenuous.

A nuclear power plant is "just" a steel cylinder in a concrete building, attached to a very ordinary steam turbine hall and a set of transformers.

The expensive part is not the building! That steel is not some unobtanium, and while the concrete is the highest grade, it's not $billions expensive. The fuel pellets are surprisingly cheap also. That's... kind-of the point! You're not burning thousands of tonnes of coal in these things. The low fuel costs are a selling point.

The reason for the expense is because every single nut, screw, and bolt needs to have a mile high pile of paperwork. Because every pipe, pump, and filter needs to be certified. Every sensor needs to be purpose-built and documented by expensive PhD-wielding scientists, not just obtained at the local engineers shop. And so on, and so forth.

The Westinghouse design paperwork specified the type of paint used for the dividing lines between the parking lot divisions.

Not to mention the lawsuits by NIMBYs, which means you often can't even start construction for 6-15 years. No other business in the world is held up in red tape for as long, or as intensely.

PS: This is why China can slap down AP1000 reactors down half a dozen at a time, like they're playing Sim City. Over there, with an authoritarian government, they simply don't have these red-tape / certification problems. Some high-up politicians simply make the decision, and that's... it. Time to start pouring the foundations.

PPS: It seems that on further research, China is having troubles with the high base cost of the plants, even with the reduced overheads due to mandates at the highest levels: https://www.technologyreview.com/2018/12/12/138271/chinas-lo...

... so the truth is probably somewhere in the middle. Nuclear is expensive, but too expensive in western countries. Realistically, they're probably not worthwhile long term unless subsidised by the nuclear weapons industry...
