It isnt challenges in meeting clean energy goals that motivates politicians from both sides to give nuclear power an extra push, its the industrial and skill requirements of the nuclear-military industrial complex:

If clean energy were the goal, costs and speed of construction would dictate only solar, wind and storage (pumped/hydrogen/battery) be built. This is what they mean in the article when they refer to a "cost problem".
I think this title is misleading for a post about your personal experience, without a news article or an announcement. I don't really even understand what you're saying.
There are lots of slang words for wages today that have to do with food: "cheddar", "cabbage", "dough", "bread" "bacon" -- maybe future etymologists will assume that we were paid in bread and cheese.
I'm not saying you are wrong, but it's maybe too early to describe Google as an example of "market failure" or "pathology".

One could debate if it's fair (or legal?) to let one side of the business (search ads) subsidise another (gmail) in order to crowd out competitors.

But that is neither an argument for or against "capitalism".

Plenty of chains do this... Most of them (the smart contract ones, "ethereum killers" and such, since we are talking about ethereum) use delegated validator schemes and other such marketing speak for "centralized", unfortunately. If the network grinds to a halt because the core dev team disappears it isn't sufficiently decentralized. If a consensus network can be shut down by a small group of individuals it isn't sufficiently decentralized.
We already have enough battery manufacturing capacity to build hours worth of grid storage over the next 5 years and more is coming online at double digit growth rates. What’s missing is the demand for grid batteries which is still relatively low.

Right now California only wastes ~5% of its solar output per year but most days don’t have a surplus. That’s not enough capacity for nighttime storage to be worth it, you need consistent daily oversupply before charging becomes “free”.

However, because of the demand curve batteries are viable for peaking power. Which is why some farms are built with “4h” aka 50% of daily output worth of battery storage. Thus we are past the initial tipping point of occasional viability where sometimes it’s a good idea. The big one is at roughly 5c/kWh where natural gas is no longer economically viable and the grid isn’t dependent on fossil fuels.

5c/kWh * 3,000 full discharge cycles ~= 150$/kWh total instillation cost including labor etc. Increase or decrease based on specific battery technology and it’s lifespan.
Enthusiasts always exists and there is a low capital requirement. Just like you get anonymous art, people volunteering for all sorts of things - not everyone does everything for money or even recognition.

> I wonder what makes me different such that Gentoo is the best for me.

Ok, I'll bite: why is Gentoo best for you? (I'm not going to try to refute any of your statements should you reply, I promise. I'm genuinely curious.)

I'll offer my own experience why Gentoo is not for me: I don't run my own server, and at work I use servers in the cloud (Ubuntu based, I guess? Or AWS-flavored). No compiling any kernels or whatnot.

For the desktop, a friend convinced me to try Gentoo 10+ years ago ("it's compiled for your specific hardware, it'll be faster!"), I gave it a try, wasted lots of time getting it running, then saw it wasn't really noticeably faster for any task I did than regular Ubuntu, and took longer to get set up. So I ditched it.

Another common claim I found to be false (in my case): "I learned so much configuring Gentoo!". Well, no. I mostly followed the recipes like almost everybody else, setting flags and touching config files I didn't really understand, so I can safely say I learned nothing -- I just went through the motions.

But that's just my experience.
The Money can see where renewables and storage are likely to be when any nuclear plant that could start to be built today would become available.

Nuclear plants have only ever been built where the customers can be forced to buy the power. No merchant nuclear plant, selling into a competitive market, has ever been built anywhere.

I have both Google Voice and Google Fi. With Fi, it's not meant to be used perpetually outside of the USA. If you stay outside of the USA long enough, they'll disable your data connection until you return to the USA, although I believe voice & SMS continue to work.

The biggest problem I've had with Fi is that I destroed my phone while traveling, and I couldn't find a phone internationally with which I could activate Fi while traveling abroad. I could only associate the new phone w/ Fi once I returned to the USA.

I use Google Voice as my phone for nearly everything, unless it doesn't work.

> The solution: one drop down menu and selecting the phone number,

This is why you're wrong. It's not about "using the phone number". You as the sender have no way to know whether they have iMessage on their phone or not. You can't say "use iMessage or SMS?" because if they do have it on their phone, you don't want to use SMS.

> The user made the choice to enable iMessage as part of an optional set up process on their Mac.

Imagine explaining to your mom that this is her own fault and it's happening because she checked a box during the setup for her computer. You can't get back to the setup, you just have to figure out how to dig through settings to turn it off.

How would anyone intuit that the consequence of checking that box will suddenly start making text messages that used to go to your android phone suddenly start going to your laptop instead? That's insane behavior.

Moreover, if your suggested fix for this "professional computer person" is to remove the email from the contact, that's not really a fix, is it? Now you just have to hope you remember the email address and that nobody else adds the phone number and email to their contacts.

Software engineers build software for people. If you find yourself suggesting that it's the user's fault for experiencing some unhinged software behavior, you've lost your way. These interactions suck because of iMessage, not because the users are "idiots".
Not actually both "robust passive safety systems", but the original safety systems in Fermi's reactor were certainly robust.

> In case of emergency, such as Weil becoming incapacitated or failure of the automatic control rod, Norman Hilberry stood on the balcony with an improbable nuclear safety device: an axe. In an emergency, he would cut a rope that ran up to the balcony, releasing another emergency control rod into the pile. The last line of defense consisted of a "liquid-control squad" that stood on a platform, ready to flood the pile with a cadmium-salt solution. Taken together, these safety precautions were a strange combination of the high-tech and the ad hoc.

Even adjusted for inflation? If they stayed put then they kinda did.
Looking only from technical perspective, microservices are worse than monolith almost every way you can measure. The biggest benefit of microservice architecture is that it handles multiple teams better than modular monolith. This is good enough rationale if you want to have team independence and clear separation of responsibilities and you can accept all technical problems microservices bring. If you cannot accept such problems (like in case many desktop apps and at least in some part of WoW backend) you just need to select something that will work with your constraints - usually it is modular monolith architecture, sometimes something more exotic.

> Natural gas was merely a name to differentiate between 'gasoline', short form 'gas' for many english speaking countries.

No, it has absolutely nothing to do with gasoline. Other languages, e.g. Russian, which don’t use the word gasoline also call it natural gas (coming from nature). This extra confusion is a late American thing.
>As a hobby content creator, I absolutely disagree. My content is mine

It is yours as in, it's your property (like your car). It's not yours as in, derived entirely from you (like your hand). That's the thing.

The generation of copyrightable material can't exist in a vacuum, I can't even tell if your works are music, video, written or what else, but I know for a fact that you can't produce them if you don't take in a whole lot of stuff from society in the first place, of course morality points to giving back to the community. Public domain is not charity, it's due diligence.

But we agree that the public can probably get an even better deal if it allows for monetization of those works, as that will promote their generation. That's what copyright is. That's why it's just a monetization scheme.
But the thing it seems he's missing about sports teams sometimes getting bailed out or sweetheart rent deals is team identities often get intermingled with city identities. No municipality is going to bail out a streaming network even though they might bail out a football club or hockey team that's been in the city for ages and is connected to the city identity.
Policies like generation shifting encourage movement from coal to gas. They have been implemented in the US but were then undone by Trump and later declared unconstitutional by conservative supreme court justices.

They talk about the shell as an IDE. My entire desktop is a 14 year experiment in tuning productivity. My ~/bin/ folder has around 100 scripts and maybe 20 are little scripts i wrote in conjunction with i3. Pretty cool how it stacks up over time
> Wringing the life is a pretty mean way to put it.

I take issue less with the volume of Star Wars and Marvel content, and more with how Disney makes small gestures toward "genre" while keeping all of that content within a tightly brand-controlled realm where there are no real stakes or diversity and everything needs to be canon. This is one of the areas where I can appreciate WB's approach more with having a variety of movies and shows with vastly different styles and audiences that obviously can't fit together in the same universe.
Does copying destroy some incentive to produce the original work?

AFAICT, most people who create copyrightable works believe it does. Freeriding rent-seekers who wish to commercialize others’ work tend to believe it doesn’t. I’m personally more inclined to believe the former.

Obviously some creators are happy to create without the additional incentives created by copyright. But here’s the thing: they’re more than welcome to produce and share their work that way already.
If you want a real US phone number (as increasingly banks are blocking VOIP numbers like Google Voice), you can get the lowest tier plan from providers like Tello or Ultra Pay Go. For $3-5/month, you get a US phone number, and ~100 texts (international) and ~100 voice minutes (international if you use Wifi calling).

You can pay for more data or voice minutes, but it's expensive and not a great deal.

eSIM is available.

But if you need a cheap US number, it can't be beat. Works great for people working overseas who need a 2FA US phone number or need to make occasional calls to US numbers (hi IRS!).
Main downside of Skype is that you afaik can't port a number into it. Otherwise it would be a great alternative to Google Voice.
It’s true though. So-called “Intellectual Property,” with the partial exception of trade secrets, is all creatures of Congress (or other legislative bodies). The law itself is cognizant of this and at least nominally attempts to respect the natural right of intellectual freedom, which is why fair use and “limited” terms exist.

I didn't run any formal benchmarks back then, but the performance I would get was on par with the fastest x86 and x86_64 machines I had running Linux in the mid 2000s. For example, I would bring an SGI O2 with an R5000 CPU into my classroom running Gentoo with Fluxbox and let the students play with it. They would often comment about how fast it browsed the web and connected to our campus file and RDP servers, and were shocked when I told them the CPU only ran at 150Mhz!
alright, i'll try to keep it in mind but can't promise anything.

(Bracing for the downvotes) As an end user, looks like the bonuses resulted in a pretty good UX.

I can definitely see how merging the services would boost MAU/DAU, but in this case it seems like increasing DAU means you’re making it easier for users to access + use the service, which is a win win.
VCs footing the bill for such large disruptions of entire sectors only for them to end up the same seems like it should somehow be illegal. Uber killed off cab companies by being subsidized only to end up more (or just as) expensive except it screwed the workers in the process.

It is nihilism, as explained. I did address the question.

One can't make the case that "everything arguably is bad", unless you are relativistic and reductionist to the point that any "arguable" negative consequence to anything is morally tantamount to the negative consequences of war. This is the type of moral absurdity that nihilists deal in.

Considering choices has nothing to do with the absolute characteristics of those choices.

Only nihilists feel the moral freedom to re-label absolute bad as not, if it is for their relative benefit.

I didn't say that you weren't free to do bad (I'm purposefully not using the word "evil" in order to maintain a tight reign on adjective use) in the service of what you feel is good. That might be an aspect of inescapable human nature (see factory farming).

What I imply is that human action isn't completely morally relativistic. Only nihilists or zealots with occluded moral reasoning think otherwise. No offense.

Maybe taoism is for you. It would allow you to resolve moral absurdity that you are otherwise trying to escape with nihilism. Personally, I'm not as atheistic as that. But at least it would be more consistent.
A bunch of "categories of interpretation" are dead, because they lost court cases.

And, the original intent is pretty clear, because the people back then left a record of why they made the law the way they did.

So much this. Netflix was valuable to me because I could watch any movie at any time, but now the streaming space is so fragmented that no single provider is worth the price of the subscription, so our family doesn't pay for any of them.

We told ourselves that if we really want to watch movies we'd just rent them off Amazon on a case-by-case basis, but in practice we just completely stopped consuming streaming content as a family. If there are other families like us, then their greed made the whole pie much smaller.
https://jmp.chat/ has been great for me, uses bandwidth behind the scenes and wraps the experience in a nice XMPP UX.

Calls and texts work, only issues I've run into are the usual some services don't accept VOIP numbers, and group texts > 10 people I can receive but not send messages (bandwidth provider limitation AFAIK).

Bonus is that their stack is all open source and since it's XMPP you can use whatever clients or server you want, or stick to their Cheogram app + a hosted server included through https://snikket.org/hosting/
“While the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) at these capital price points will not be immediately competitive in most U.S. markets (i.e., greater than $60/MWhre), long term decarbonization goals combined with the long lifetime of the plant (i.e., LCOE of less than $30/MWhre for 40-60 years) should motivate revisiting the AP1000 economic feasibility if decarbonization targets are taken seriously.”

Highly recommend it.
Important point about relative novelty, but kids aren’t subscribers / account holders / bill payers, so I can see how the population with children can become a persistent subscriber base, but growth requirements necessitate either more children (joking) or providing better content.

It’s pretty interesting to think about how technology and scalability play into the costs of the streaming model. Netflix’s engineering capabilities are well respected, I find it hard for another company to replicate this success without using better technology to offer the same service: do we know the technological infrastructure quality of Disney+ or Hulu? Have they encountered costly scaling problems that eat into budgets?

I know this, I mentioned this as "setting up a binrepo" in my comment, as I think the binrepo approach makes more sense (esp. with regards to easy updates).

It's just an unwieldy amount of extra overhead, disk space, and time, which I'd rather avoid, especially for devices I'm not fully committed to maintaining over a long period. I've tried what you mention, it's just never convenient enough to be worth the pain.

I was referencing directly the amount of compilation, not necessarily the power consumption. But with regards to ecological impact, I would guess you have Java on a server in your mind.

But, the biggest Java user in term of number of devices is Android. And every time you install an app, you compile it. Including every time you update it (which nowadays is... everyday?). Also it'll recompile in background to use pgo. Nowadays [1] Google could pretty much compile it server-side for most devices, and save a lot of battery wear (batteries wear when getting hot, and compiling, weirdly, heats), in addition to power consumption.
No wonder - They all doubled down on streaming simultaneously and let quality of the produced shows / movies suffer.

Disney, for example, thrived on scarcity and quality. You'd clamor to see that rare release in theaters, and show up for streaming wherever it ended up. Instead they decided to produce like a dozen Star Wars / Marvel series a year. Their movies have been lackluster. They push them to streaming really fast, kneecapping the box office. It all just becomes noise instead of an event reinforcing their brand.

Some studios, like Sony, have just ignored trying to compete on Streaming, and just focus on the quality. Sell it to Netflix later, as Netflix increasingly is in the "quantity over quality" business.

If I want to sell a widget for a dollar, I can sell it for a dollar. Demand doesn't force me to do anything I don't want to do. Especially when I know that selling it for a dollar would cover costs and net me profit.

Yes, if I really wanted more money, and am willing to make it at the expense of society, I could jack up the price until demand meets existing supply. But again, that is my decision, not the decision of some abstract concept named "demand".
