Yes, that would definitely help

The government could stop sending billions to Israel every year. That would buy a lot of solar.

there's no reason why the government can't do that and just give everybody free electricity.

It's not free. Someone has to pay for it. If you're saying the government will build it and then give the electricity away for free, where do you think the government got the money to build it?

This is as bad as Europeans crowing about "free" healthcare or higher education. It's not free. They paid for it with their tax euros.

The feds told people that and so did the mayor of NYC. But since the “woke commie” mayor said it the feds deleted all their webpages. https://www.theverge.com/polic...

Thanks for tracking that down. To me that's the real news here. Reactor vessels are not the only application for this technology.

May dad lost access to his AOL email 2 months ago, and every phone call and every email exchange I've had with them since has been the exact same script. In short, he's being asked to verify who he is, even though he's never had to do so in the decade he's been with them, but there's nothing to verify against. One guy said he reviewed the case, and said from time-to-time people need to verify themselves. He couldn't have reviewed anything because he's the same guy who asked me to send a screenshot of what my dad is seeing. He would have known what the situation is. I'm fairly convinced it's some agentic AI being used because it's difficult to comprehend something being this stupid.

I can't even call them incompetent. Incompetence implies something was tried and done poorly. Nothing has been done. Zero. They're nothing but a bunch of script kiddies reading the same words over and over, never doing anything.

Goldman Sachs International, J.P. Morgan, and Allen & Company didn't do their due diligence. Whatever "metrics" they were looking at, they failed to look at the most important: how companies treat their customers. Not that they care. They got their money, so they're happy. It's the investors who will be unhappy as people leave this shit show.

Buyer beware. If a company can't fix a problem they created, you don't want them.

My boss still uses aol.com as his start page and search engine.

It's a dessert topping and a floor wax. This was an unusual feature of UNIX, but since then it's become the norm, albeit with everyone else inheriting it from there. You can write MS-DOS scripts with complex independent logic, you just don't want to.

I don't know that I've learned it "properly" to this day, but I can thank The UNIX Programming Environment for making me basically capable. (I believe that my paper copy is a later edition than this...)

Silicon Carbide is difficult to work with due to the high temperatures required, so if they have a 3d printing process that is effective at producing the kind of quality needed for a reactor vessel, that's what's really interesting here. Or... whose tech are they using?

Sony is no longer selling games on physical media. How do you purchase a game second hand or years after the game has stopped being sold?

They’re saying linux does the exact same thing.

The national murder rate has been declining since 1993. Some attribute that to Roe v. Wade.

The people in charge of compiling the statistics have been fired and replaced by stooges.

So one tweet from Trump from back when he wasn't relevant in US politics yet and a single post from Rush Limbaugh, someone who only MAGA types listen to, was MAGA being "effective in claiming the "real" number was the labor force participation being low."? What a laugh, this was never a major thing during the Obama administration.

Fitbit became Google Health and lost badges. Badges are little awards you get for passing certain milestones, like daily steps, or lifetime distance walked. This app brings them back.
