Weirdly no EU countries...

So we just have to build the first expensive 20 to get the experience and then we reap the rewards after 40 years when we need the knowledge again?

If nuclear would be cheap in the western world I'd be all for it but we just can't do large projects in our ccurrent system.

Solar + wind + battery is much less of an headache.

Firefox now started that you can't even go on the page on some occasions.

Using a browser in an air gapped environment is so much more pain than it should be.

Middle managment is also where most of your negative feedback is lost. I think moving fast in general needs tighter feedback loops and this is simply not possible in large organizations.

If someone needs a gift idea:

I used something like this on a large sheet and cut it into pieces for a puzzle gift to a website where people left comments. Nowadays even easier to generate nice temporary websites for such things.

And now that's a whole other can of worms for supply chain attacks.

With how backwards US policy is - this will be the major factor in the future.

Energy heavy use cases with little to no energy costs will lap western industries.

Do you also refuse to show id when buying alcohol because the gubbernment does not have authority over what you may buy?

That's how you sound.

Basically you can prove that you have an identification document and that a certain property is true without revealing anything else.

Thank you dogemaster2026 for the insightful comment.

If it were just easy to buy a bunch of batteries and profit from this by selling the same energy during evening/night.

But that is only reserved for the big players I guess.

Glad to see this crisis can result into a power plant 15-20 years from now.

Or another Gigawatt solar + batteries this year.

Ah yea and 1 billion $ or 100billion $ it's all the same

Do you know how much land there is that is simply not worth farming on?

There are deserts everywhere.

So do you hold a grudge or why are you talking in the fucking past? Conservatives lacking a spine is now "they phased out Nuclear due to populist concerns" ok.

Is your solution to look in the past and blame everyone to solve the problems today?

Of course in Hindsight phasing out nuclear so fast was a mistake. Does that solve our problems now?

I agree on that fully - but that is a completely different point. The Lifetime extension and the costs associated to that are not clear to me. But of course letting an already paid project run is a no brainer if the costs are not blowing up.

I don't like the assumption that this calculation was not done by the book due to the greens being in charge of that. It's always the question: Lifetime extension can cost a lot and maybe it only buys 5 years. Basically I assume there was a € price and it was too high to pay. Maybe CDU would've payed that price but I don't think either is wrong.

Wow - a nuclear-head in the wild.

Tell me please how building nuclear plants today will solve our problems in the 15-20 years it takes to build them.

Or how the conservative party did phase out nuclear? They were 16 years at the helm, why couldn't they stop it?

But no the fringe party is at fault for everything. That rhetoric is both completely unfounded and basically far-right propaganda. Congratulations - you got targeted and manipulated into a single issue voter.

Why are you trashing vegans that are still living unhealthy? Be glad that they still chose to eat vegan.

You come off as very militant in that sense.

When you think about it, every job opening is a flop in that sense.

the mystical time when the wind on the see is not there and there is no sun? Maybe even the tides stop working?

China: per capita about 1.8x the global average CO2

United States: per capita about 3x the global average CO2

Projections for China is that these numbers will go down massively over the next 10 years. How is that going for the US for "lowest environmental standards in the 1st world"? Please get over your 20 year old views of china. They get their act together while the US shits the bed.

We can talk about 50% new car registrations are EVs in china and how the US is doing?

Or how ~60% of all renewable capacity added globally by 2030 will be in China? Or how it is already at 50%?

That's the low quality comments that ruin everything.

China connected 4 solar panels per SECOND last year. China is also has 265x the population and has growing energy demands. They build much less coal than they phase out.

All you can muster is a "But uh china is doing something so you are irrelevant" which is neither helpful nor correct. You are supporting the status quo and support not changing a damn thing.

Working for german medium-sized companies:

It's really that the upper management does not appreciate change over departments if it's not their idea.

There is always the mentality that "why fix it if it works" where you actually have to wait for people to go to their pension to really grab a process and drive change.

You then get partially digitalized processes where digital native departments are concerned but they always have to solve the problem of interacting with a bunch of legacy systems and workflows, which in itself is so much harder and more inefficient.

Like with browser fingerprinting, making it too unique is also an issue.

It may actually be a fine line. You may be flagged as an LLM later if your style is too generic and identified if your style is too unique.

But i can understand the sentiment: Why should a company fight this fight? They are not incentivized to overpay for politics of that caliber.

So do you buy an ID every month or can we depreciate that over 15 years?

Not my point in the comment but my personal opinion:

To regulate access to addicting material. This is done in the physical world - why should digital be lawless when it applies to the same human behaviors?

I've been addicted to a lot of digital media parts in harmful ways and I had the luck and support to grow out of most of it. A lot of people are not that lucky.

Some observers present privacy-preserving age proofs involving a third party, such as the government, as a solution, but they inherit the same structural flaw: many users who are legally old enough to use a platform do not have government ID.

So there is absolutely no way to change that and give out IDs from the age of 14? You can already get an ID for children in Germany https://www.germany.info/us-de/service/reisepass-und-persona...

This is a problem that has to be solved by the government and not by private tech companies.

This is a lazy cop out to say "we have tried nothing and we are all out of ideas"

Or everyone is just tired of tesla and their stubborn camera only tech that will fail in higher autonomy cases?

No no it's the cabal...

Because it is not real autonomous driving? Being liable for software that you can neither verify nor trust is THE dealbreaker. Once Tesla says "We are liable for all accidents with FSD" with higher level autonomous driving this game changes. But Waymo is just way more reliable.
