I just don't see how nuclear has a bright future in any regard.
How about in space or on other planets?
And while nuclear is certainly much less CO2 intensive than any fossil-fuel source even a pro-nuclear body's publication shows that wind produces approximately as much CO2/GWh over an installations lifetime as nuclear does.
And what if it's not windy?

Keep in mind, almost ALL the nuclear power plants built are based on 1950-1960s technology (designed for naval applications). That would be like comparing solar panels from that era with the panels designed/produced today. There is no comparison.
Nuclear power is the largest source of electricity in the country, with a generation of 416.8 TWh, or 76.3%[2] of the country's total production of 546 TWh, the highest percentage in the world.
I wish ISPs billed like a utility. Something like $10 connection fee + 10-15 cents per GB.
This will force bandwidth hogs to self-regulate. If you have the ability to purchase 4k/8k TVs, then you should be responsible for the associated streaming costs and not have others subsidize it.
Also, NN does nothing to foster competition - the real problem. All we have are a bunch of local monopolies/duopolies.
Agreed. If there are more men in the city, women should have more selection.
However, the diversity of men may be limited (e.g. they are all software engineers...). It would be like going to Baskin-Robbins and all they had was various types of strawberry ice cream.
How does Bitcoin work offline? Let's say the world goes to hell (assume internet has been taken offline) and we need to trade using a form of trusted currency.
Multiple lawsuits have been filed by third-party candidates challenging the CPD's policy of requiring a candidate to have 15% support in national polls to be included in presidential debates. While the lawsuits have challenged the requirement on a number of grounds, including claims that it violates Federal Election Commission (FEC) rules and that it violates anti-trust laws, none of the lawsuits has been successful.
China is an export driven economy. If a crash were to come, it would be because of a sudden lack of trade (e.g. 2008). Chinese companies are already heavily levered.
This technology, if viable, could help solve our current nuclear waste problem. Valuable materials could be recycled (by separation) for additional use.
* > One of the commenters on the original article (https://medium.com/@tarthedark/did-a-custom-bench-between-ht...) changed a few lines of the C# to use some different ASP.NET facilities which more than doubled the reqs/sec and dropped the std dev of latency by 2/3. That provides some evidence that it wasn't really an apples-to-apples comparison. *
It might be intentional. The author of this article is also the the author of the golang Iris framework. Normally I would not automatically discount the benchmark but the author is a well-known bad actor in the golang community.
Sayeret Matkal, like all elite units, is closed to women.[1]
But it’s difficult to claim that women are equals in the IDF (even the IDF admits that less than 4 percent of women are in combat positions). Many are in “combat-support” positions that can involve anything from opening the gate of the army base to cleaning guns—and which, by the way, command a lower salary than combat positions. And tellingly, there is only one female general in the entire IDF.[1]
