Nobody knows it's a bubble more than Nvidia. They can never hope to collect on all of these loans they're making. But those keep the actual money coming back in and they will just have some corporate legal bullshit way to weasel out of paying, which might include just letting Nvidia die and running off with all of the money. Who cares, right?

The USA has been a serious shitshow of one type of another since before its inception. But where hasn't? We'll either get through this or we won't, good times.

Clearly, the USA under Trump is not going to ban cryptocurrency. But he is increasing others' appetite to do so.

I sure don't but I'm googling around and I see they are bragging about using stainless steel dry cask storage. Unfortunately, these casks are subject to corrosion under nuclear storage conditions (that link is PR but they describe the problem well) so it's not really a win either. There isn't one, unless you count vitrification, which is so expensive to do right that no one wants to use it.

Yeah, and I'm pretty fucking mad about it. My pension fund has over $20M of it and plenty of every other bag of shitlords.

Yeah. Now I'm gonna have to go read Zodiac again.

The costs of nuclear are addressed all the time.

The problem is the nuke fanbois either ignore the costs or hand-wave them away: "Nuclear is only expensive because of protests and regulations. Next time will be different. Blah, blah, blah."

Even without considering the costs of waste and accidents, nuclear costs four times as much as wind or solar and has a 20-year lead time.

The Linux kernel is GPL'd and this is an intentional move away from GPL. Saying they had nothing to do with it when the license is majorly responsible for its success is gaslighting.

Tens of thousands of barrels of toxic waste were dumped near Catalina Island, but the vast majority are non-radioactive chemical waste.

DDT leaking from the barrels is a much bigger problem than nuclear waste and shows up in the local sea lion population.

Anyway, there's nothing realistic that we can do about it since any attempt to retrieve the barrels will likely make things worse.

It's exactly the same bright idea as putting a nuke plant there to begin with.

The baseline power supply problem is that people think there's a baseline power supply problem. There isn't, the baseline is easy, it's the peaks that are hard.

It's true for the scum with all the money since we let them write the rules. And around half of us seem to think it should be that way.

All you have to do is pay attention to what they do and how it doesn't match what they say.

Attention is in short supply today, but a little can go a long way.

Nobody who gives a fuck about humans institutes a social credit system. And yes, I include our allegedly not social credit system in that - our society simply only cares about money.

The US failed to enter the war timely and also failed to not sell the Nazis war supplies like fuel and metals. The Nazis wouldn't have even been such a big problem in the first place without the USA. Your cheerleading nationalism is as facile as your usual analysis.

That's true now that pocket is gone, perhaps.

But pocket also destroyed all trust that they don't want your data

I just actually read the summary... "The maximum credible earthquake, somewhere around a 7.0 magnitude" ... EGADS
