Very similar, yes. Except that Kay did not envision the distinct computers communicating via REST. https://blog.metaobject.com/2019/11/what-alan-kay-got-wrong-... Also: micr…

We did that in my physics high school class. Then we took away components until we had virtually nothing left, a diode I think(?), and still we had some signal. Turns out there was a transmitter on th…

There is valid criticism to the barriers to entry that do exist. The problems the post describes are not that. They are barriers that the author created himself by selecting a complex corporate setup…

It's not.

Nope. But the GmbH & Co KG setup the poster wants is not needed for limited liability. You get that with a plain GmbH (or UG), which is much, much simpler to set up.

The GmbH has the tax structure of a business, as it is a business. He wanted something more special than that. Which is possible, but complicated.

I am pointing out that his claims are, in fact, not true . It is not this complicated to set up a limited liability company in Germany. It is this complicated to set up his choice of a two company…

One of us is lying. It ain't me. As one example of many see previous post on nuclear production records.

Yes, what you are doing is complicated. I did a GmbH with "Musterprotokolle" so virtually no lawyer fees and quick and easy to set up. And a GmbH is limited liability. It's in the …

That is an obviously mis-designed "market" as it only prices in marginal costs. This worked when most if not all producers actually were reliable. It doesn't work when you have a high…

It's even worse: the problems of that reactor type were, in fact, well-known at the time. Which is one of the reasons that reactor would never have gotten an operating license in any western cou…

They actually do not. Struggle, that is. But yes, it absolutely makes more sense to run those plants 24/7 at 100% capacity. And we have base-load that matches this reliable generating capacity v…

Baseload is a large part of the total load, so it absolutely makes sense to provide solid plants that can run predictably at close to 100% capacity for most of the time (maintenance and occasional out…

Canada just finished the Bruce Power refurbishment ahead of schedule and under budget, and that seems to generally be the track record in Canada. https://news.ontario.ca/en/releas…

PV doesn't work "just fine" in Northern Europe.

Yes, it's a joke. Maybe not an intentional one, but a joke nevertheless. It has nothing to do with reality.

Fitting description of what you are peddling. I am not buying. And neither is anyone else these days.

Good grief. Your source shows exactly that what I said is the truth, and that you are lying. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/electricity-production-by... The highest number fo…

1. Once again, when you take full system cost into account and not just spot prices (marginal costs), nuclear is absolutely competitive, even compelling. 2. Nuclear is not heavily subsidized. In fa…

The part I explained: disposal is, unlike your claim, not a significant part of total cost of nuclear power. Therefore, even assuming for a second your counterfactual that nuclear power isn't c…

> Who said [that solar/wind and nuclear are all extremely safe]? Not "who". "What". And the answer is "the data". The data say that. Empirically. Completely…

We were talking specifically about the problem of a finished nuclear power plant, built successfully to the specifications in the build permit, not getting an operating license (or taking very long to…

Yes. Have you? Are you of the opinion that the comments on that article are conclusive evidence for all SMR startups failing? If so, how? Please try to be specific. I don't see evidence of even…
