"How" is not really a relevant question in this context. They are, empirically. Though it has to be said that solar/wind and nuclear are all extremely safe, meaning it doesn't rea…

How does the BLU-122 relate to a deep geological repository, in your esteemed opinion? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_geological_repository …

"Solved problem" does not imply it is 100% safe. Because no technology is 100% safe.

Being an additional problem is not a contradiction of it being the least of those problems. No it won't. That isn't true. There are lots of suitable places. The problems are purely polit…

That's not true. Disposal of spent fuel was always included in the price of electricity (for example in Germany, but many/most others as well) and is negligible in cost. Finland just built …

Giving priority to non-reliable producers is insane.

The biggest risk for nuclear is the government. That's why the government has to indemnify the companies against those risks. Spot market prices are not total system costs.

Nuclear is REDUCING the overall danger. Because the alternatives are much more dangerous.

In 100 years: sure. Unless we have civilizational collapse in which case a bit of nuclear waste will be the least of our problems. It won't have to be monitored for a 1000 years. First, by that…

No technology is 100% safe, so that is a straw man. However, nuclear energy is the safest form of electricity generation we have.

Everywhere gets zero sun at night. And at high latitudes, the night can be very long. And even when the sun does appear for a bit, it doesn't provide a lot of energy. And you might want to ask t…

That turns out not to be the case. The prices are all-inclusive.

I doubt it. There used to be separate construction and operating permits, and sometimes you got the building permit, built the plant and then never got the operating license. This has now been streaml…

While Wyoming is a demonstration plant, it is a demonstration plant of exactly the reactor they plan to build in series. And they have received NRC approval. https://thebreakthrough.org…

> I wish Italy did the same. They are in the process. Last I checked the bill to do so had passed the lower house and how needs to get ratified by the senate. https://www.world-nuclear-…

That turns out not to be the case. France is not "struggling", they are once again the #1 electricity exporter in Europe, with low-electricity prices, reliable supply, huge profits, and worl…

At least one Kanton has already requested a new build. https://www.nuklearforum.ch/de/news/neues-kernkraftwerk-im-a... …

That competition is handily won by wind and solar. In the meantime in Switzerland: "Our cheapest electricity product is nuclear electricity." https://ewr.ch/elektrizitaet…

True. Alas in incomprehensible source of false is not a source of truth. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

> People say Electron is heavy and not great, but it's also the fastest way to support Mac, Windows, and Linux all at once. Let's fix that! ASMOP

Other people's money.

Rewrites are only cheap if the rewrite solves the problem. And the rewrite can only reliably solve the problem if you understand the problem, and even then it's obviously not a guarantee. If you …

ARM instances (CAX) are all consistently at 30%.

While these somewhat fuzzy definitions are hugely important (well, it says: "the important stuff, whatever that is", so by definition...), I have a hard time calling them "software ar…
