The solution is to build more wind and solar, not wait 10 or 15 years for a nuclear plant.

Baseload is a myth. Energy demand varies greatly each day and nuclear only goes at one speed.
Batteries wind and solar can easily follow demand.

Tesla is always late with its promises. They are mostly hype to support the meme stock.
I wouldn't hold your breath.
Tesla is still stuck at Level 2 driving and frequently gets into problems.

I see the nuclear fanbois are out in force.
Nuclear is the most expensive energy. Takes the longest time to build. And is most problematic with issues of nuclear waste and accidents.
Can we get real and just accept that solar, wind and batteries are the cheapest and cleanest energy.

This entire article is suspect.
iPhones in China cost about $1000 or less.
Why would anyone pay $5000 for and used dodgy iPhone when you can get a new one for much less?

Does the liquid leak out?

History tells us that every man made "improvement" has unintended consequences.
The intentional introduction of alien species to new environments has a long history of introducing disasters to ecosystems.
No matter how well-intentioned, it's best not to fool mother nature.

I don't know too much about the rest of the world but I can observe the US decline into an Idiocracy run by clowns and thugs with a compliant population which seems to only pay attention to "entertainment".

Often these types of analysis focus on only the costs of investing in renewables and ignore the financial benefits of the investment.
There are solid benefits to eliminating fossil fuels (cost of the fuel, climate disasters, pollution damaging health, etc.).
In addition, providing access to lowest cost renewable non-polluting energy has benefits to everyone by improving the quality of life.
Their plan also includes unproven high cost nuclear which should be a non-starter.
They should instead rely on proven low cost solar PV, wind and battery storage.

Unfortunately, many people don't know or care about security.
Keep promoting Signal as a superior security app. We do know that "they" are listening to everything all the time and it is only a matter of time until something you (even innocently) say will draw their attention.

The Nerds.xyz article is very brief.
The Ars article is a much longer and better explanation.

I started using various distros of Linux about 25 years ago and have experienced first hand their improvement from basically functional to extremely capable.
My latest "new" computer is a used ThinkPad to replace an aging MacBook Pro (don't ask how old). The MacBook Pro ran Linux but was so old and slow that it was frustrating to use.
I installed Ubuntu on it and it has been working flawlessly and runs everything I need with agility.

I read this several times and don't pretend that I understand all of it but smart people who do understand the complexity of the problem and Signal's solution seem impressed.
This achievement puts Signal far ahead of any other encryption. They seem to have an encryption solution that is "quantum proof" as well as being capable of implementation in the real world.
Congratulations to them.
