Comment Re:What Tariffs? (Score 2) 74

The Trump Random Tax generator, at this instant in time, says.... "25% tariff on all Koren products". By the time you read this it might be different. An EV, while certainly any EV specific taxes apply to it, gets at least the overall rate. Unless it's one of the products or companies to have suitably bribed our Dear Leader, in which case it would have an exemption. It would proably have to have an extra large bribe because EVs don't burn dinosaur juice, though, and those companies have paid a lot to keep their market share.

A typical LM3576 IC has leads less than 1mm wide, with less than 1mm spacing, and it's DEAD OBVIOUS when the pins are fucking shorted.

Tell me you don't do soldering work on power circuitry without telling me you don't do work on power circuitry.

Go down to the dimensions on the 16-pin MSOP package.

I've soldered hundreds of thousands of those. Note the pin spacing.

Go the fuck back to school.

Or I can just rely upon the dozens of times I've passed a vehicle stopped at a traffic intersection or on the 405 or the 110 or the 605 with its emergencies on because the car auto stopped in traffic and wouldn't start back up, causing hours-long delays.

That technology is utter shit.

Comment Re:Watershed moment will be deployment. (Score 1) 71

There are currently exactly two SMRs in operation in the world, neither in the US, and there are over 100 designs in the air. Contracts are not success, deploying actual working reactors is success.

To what extend do you consider the many hundreds of reactors operated by navies around the world "Small Modular Reactors"? I would agree that there aren't many civilian versions out there yet, but there's an awful lot of experience out there with the things in the "cost isn't really a priority" design space.

It's become even more obviously a scam when it received the support of the scammer-in-chief. With his crypto being so obviously a nice pathway for bribery, credibility of any crypto gets questioned. Which is more harmful considering that it was never more than a betting market in the first place. At least with gold you've got a lump of stuff most people consider valuable, rather than hoping that some small set of people with money to burn buy more of the same stuff you did being the only value proposition.
