Jobs in journalism have been in decline for decades, the rise of AI is just another nail in the coffin of quality journalism. Hard to prove fault, but it's not helping.

Run it like Clue!

"Worth" only according to its owner, who paid himself to buy it from himself under a different org. Good luck finding an outside investor willing to spend $30B on it now that it's turned into a hate pool with a shit revenue stream

That's not a bad article, but it's largely focused on debunking claims about renewables on today's grid (e.g., the false claims that they have somehow been responsible for blackouts in CA and TX).

I generally agree with the articles points, but what I'm talking about is a future grid with 90%+ renewable generation and limited geothermal/hydro resources.

It's purely a hypothetical at the moment because no one has come close and technology could advance quite a bit before the grid even reaches those limits.

That said, based on today's technology, under the right circumstances, nuclear can provide a cost effective means of closing the final gap in reaching zero-carbon electricity, but only AFTER we do the bulk of the work solving the other 90% of the problem which is installing more renewables and storage.

This is a great response. Nuclear plants are expensive to build, and the waste is difficult to deal with.

What it doesn't touch on is the functional aspect - the advantage (and disadvantage) of nuclear power is that it provides a very steady "base load" power supply, something renewables struggle with.

Regions with good access to natural solar and wind resources throughout the year, as well as those fortunate enough to have geothermal or hydro power (which has its own environmental drawbacks) can provide stable sustainable power supplies with minimal storage, but when the goal is zero emissions, getting that last 10-20% reduction at scale in many locations is incredibly difficult.

Having a power supply that's always providing a steady stream of power, even when the Sun and wind are down, can dramatically reduce the amount of storage you need. For places where it's appropriate, nuclear can help fill this void, but only after getting like 90% of the way to the finish line with renewables.

Just pointing out, nuclear is on your chart twice - one significantly different from the other. "Nuclear - Large Scale" costs overlap most other technologies shown.

How many websites do you browse with links to truly illegal content?

If you live in a country with truly abysmal human rights, definitely don't bother with this plugin, but in most cases you should be fine on the illegal side.

Even if somehow the website you're browsing has some super sketchy ad to buyillegaldrugshere.com or whatever, to get in trouble with the law in most civilized places you'd have to actually buy the illegal drugs, not just ping the illegal drugs IP. Especially since you can pretty easily prove to a judge that your system fetches ad links automatically and without further engagement.

Not saying it can't happen, just that it's really unlikely you would be served an ad for something so illegal just clicking on it is a liability. The literally only case I can think of coming close is CSAM, but even then, if you're regularly browsing websites that advertise CSAM, maybe find other websites to occupy your time? And I can just about guarantee any website serving CSAM ads is already doing illegal shit, so you should probably be more worried about that than an ad-click...

I feel it's more of a mix. Elon is in charge of breaking the government with reckless abandon, Stephen is in charge of weaponizing what's left of the government against minorities.

Start the campaign now for President in 2256. Wouldn't want the judges to look politically biased, they'll have to hold off on sentencing until after the election.

Signal is where you get invited to the really juicy chats though, maybe you should reconsider.

Idk if it makes me elderly, a child, or a non-gamer, but I fucking loved BOTW/TOTK. Nintendo, through those games and countless more, have repeatedly proven frame rates and fidelity aren't what make games great. Sure, some games (especially competitive ones) benefit from better performance, but just as many get by on their creativity, story, etc.
