There's also an explicit insurance policy offered by governments against a Chernobyl type event
And many of the same people who complain about this are first to ask for government state-of-emergency assistance in the case of catastrophic weather events.
Nobody who has bitcoin ever needs to sell it. That is something that legacy finance will never understand.
A lot like those pictures of monkeys also.
It's worth noting that busybox replicates many of them, and it has its own oddities.
Likewise with *BSD.
Yeah this project has nothing to do with security... it's just the Ubuntu developers are REALLY REALLY tired of hearing the FSF folks say "it's GNU Linux" every time they turn around.
Not sure if I should mod that insightful or funny so I'll leave it to others to decide. Seems a little of both.
The LCOE you see most often is $149/MWh, which is calculated at an interest rate of 4%. 4% is the 10 year government bond rate - the "can't fail" rate. It can only get the because it is government guaranteed, so it's a subsidised rate.
Much of the world's nuclear fleet is some form of government owned or operated. I have no particular problem with this. I'm not a fan of big government at all but providing necessities of life like power and water is one thing I can get behind. Same deal with other big engineering projects like hydro dams.
None of those can compete with renewables, which usually come in under $100MWh.
The cost of renewables obviously varies widely with how much storage you need, and that differs with the various deployment scenarios - on-grid, island and industrial - envisioned in the analysis I posted. For the latter two I think CCGTs are still the benchmark for cost, but battery backed renewables are certainly competitive in the former nowadays.
They may be "regular" employees, but the employers have nothing really holding them in state - no investment in dispatchers, vehicles, mechanics, etc. I can easily see the ride share operators having much, much more leverage over the drivers than the drivers will likely have over their employers.
Steel workers have leverage over the steel mills because they cant just relocate the steel mills, but these virtual, zero infrastructure employers can just shutdown once the workers get appropriate notice.
It's also just an app. Much easier to replace than physical infrastructure, and much lower barrier to entry. There won't be a ride-hailing vacuum for long.
Did the contractor not feel threatened or harassed?
Is that the burden now? I'd be real careful with that one.
You can't even figure out that the context is reality, where nothing about your car is independent except your departure time. Literally everything else about it is collaborative from cradle to grave.
Reality is that people who own a car can generally jump in and go anytime, whereas people who don't own a car have to rely on public transit, taxis, Uber, rentals or friends. This is not rocket surgery and should not really require explanation. Personal transportation is one of the greatest manifestations of individual freedom in the modern era. Maybe try talking to an older person who has lost their ability to drive and see what a huge loss of independence it represents. It is easy to discount other peoples freedoms that don't matter to you. That is not a left or right thing, everyone does it nowadays but that does not make it better.
Waaay too much freedom being able to go wherever you want whenever you want.
Anywhere a fat ribbon of asphalt goes, you can go, unless it's snowing much and then you can stay home.
Anywhere the airlines go I can go too, with suitable advance planning. A lot of people consider asphalt optional too.
Much better to have to rely on others
I wasn't aware you built your car and the road. You're amazing!ly ignorant.
Yes, no man is an island, but I was not speaking in a philosophical sense. Can't rely on others to understand context either apparently.
Watching scenery go by while sitting on a train going 80. If you started from scratch with today's resources there's no way you would build cars to serve the bulk of people, it would just sound insane right on its face.
Waaay too much freedom being able to go wherever you want whenever you want. Much better to have to rely on others, in keeping with the "you will own nothing" ethos that is so popular nowadays.
Oh! No, sorry about that, I must have phrased it poorly. I wasn't directing that at you but in agreement with you.
I think it will slow dramatically over the next year or so. Then shoot back up again after someone comes up with something crazy like a rowhammer-like attack on packets or some other seemingly impossible technique.
No prob. Open source was certainly first to get the AI debugging treatment. I'm sure all the most critical code - OpenSSH, OpenSSL, Netfilter, etc - as well as the Linux kernel have been gone over pretty thoroughly by now. Other widely deployed code like nginx and ffmpeg likewise. The large companies with a lot of closed source code like MS are using the same tools and doing what we are discussing here in this thread, so hopefully they will be caught up soon as well. I have heard experts say they expect the frontier models to get much better at decompiling closed source binaries in the near future, so I'd expect another spurt as those come under closer scrutiny soon.
The unsubsidised LCOE (CAD/MWh) for the BWRX-300 OPG's SMR is at least CAD$220/MWh. Renewables in the area max out at unsubsidised LCOE CAD$113/MWh.
Do you have a reference? Those are very different from the numbers I've seen, but those were calculated at the very beginning of what is admittedly a big project.
