Solar project to destroy thousands of Joshua trees in the Mojave Desert
https://ca.news.yahoo.com/solar-project-destroy-thousands-joshua-100000768.html

It's crazy to me that a destructive photovoltaic solar project like this one is considered reasonable, but a new nuclear power plant within or adjacent to a city is beyond the pale.

Uncritically lumping Chernobyl in with TMI and fukushima loses you all credibility.

Chernobyl, where a critically mismanaged and politically nigh guaranteed failed emergency response to a similarly guaranteed foreseen design failure leading to hundreds of thousands of dosed people across all of Europe

… Compared to events largely which have had no detectable radiological health effects on non workers anywhere.

The nuclear industry is far and away the safest and most scrutinized of any industry, try to be honest when you’re making arguments.

The reason people don’t want to put nuclear facilities in convenient places is paranoia.

Complaining about Joshua trees for this is somewhat silly, it’s not one or the other, but the environmental impact is worth discussing.

Umbrias,

Again fukushima had no radiation related health impacts to non workers. Not “millions of people”, the worst case for that plant happened, and still no radiation poisoning.

Umbrias,

This license while not the most permitting does not appear to hide the code behind any proprietary shielding though.

Umbrias, (edited )

Ah. Of course. Something being open source doesn’t make it open source. It all makes sense now thank you for clarifying.

That also wasn’t technically a response to my comment, it was an ideological defense mechanism to avoid addressing the content of the license.

Umbrias,

Yeah I don’t agree with the osd being the only approach to being open source. Turns out people have differing opinions on that. You’re welcome.

It wasn’t a response to my comment because you didn’t respond to my comment. You said is proprietary. I point out that it’s not a terrible license. Then you resort to a sound bite non response.

You could have pointed out for example that ftl 3.2 and 4.1 are pretty shitty limitations to impose.

“Government hates what it can’t control”

tiktok

Lol. Look it sure was authoritarian the specific method used to ban tik tok. But you’re complaining about an authoritarian slap fight.

Umbrias,

Fudging isn’t unique to DND, though I agree that people would be better off trying anything else.

The system is a means to an end. No system captures its tone perfectly through mechanics.

Umbrias,

Why do you feel that the researchers are wrong about their physics research?

Umbrias,

More of an actual comment, good. More efficient capacitors in both speed and heat certainly helps in charging devices of all sizes. Of course it wouldn’t be charging large batteries in seconds, but that doesn’t mean no improvement.

Umbrias,

Almost every electrical system on the planet uses capacitors. Especially high power systems. Of which evs are.

“No real point in mixing capacitors in with a large battery” ?? That’s done literally all the time for both filtering and for intermittent high power output. Like when I say almost every electrical system uses caps, I mean almost every electrical system.

Umbrias,

Or you know, reducing thermal load by using broadly more efficient capacitors allowing you to shove more current in the car. Or by meeting grid scale requirements for car charging by smoothing out the grid impact of a bunch of charging at once. Or any number of benefits.

Ultimately this certainly benefits car charging. It benefits all electronics. No you won’t be getting two second car charges with this.

Umbrias,

At this point I can only determine you are arguing for the sake of arguing.

Much of what you said is very wrong but it’s not worth arguing about.

Umbrias,

You’re saying people don’t use chatgpt in their daily routine because they didn’t give it a fair shot?

Not because it’s just objectively lacking in utility for the things it’s marketed for?

Umbrias,

Charitably I am fairly certain they are making fun of this particular meme and not in general. This meme is certainly something many people experience autism or not, though there are reasons toys experience might stick out for those with autism.

Umbrias,

In reality testing shows that named strains are not a thing, the testing shows THC and cbd content among things like tannins occasionally, but the only proven relevance to anything is THC.

“Incorrect colloquial naming” is an understatement, genetically weed strains as they are named don’t exist at all.

Umbrias,

No it’s a security and fingerprinting tradeoff.

The more your browser acts to hide your behaviors and limit tracking, the more unique your fingerprint is. The most private browser setup is one which appears to be identical to all the other traffic in a non unique way, or noise. This definitionally lacks information for tracking.

Also security flaws and tracking exploits need to be constantly patched.

This is a fundamental tradeoff for privacy. Using more obscure browsers can (not always) then expose you to behavioral fingerprinting because they look different and react to web pages differently.

Umbrias, (edited )

It’s not just the user agent that fingerprints a user.

Hence a good most of the exact comment you responded to.

Umbrias,

The moon is not tidally locked with the sun. Also the viable landing sites on the moon are tiny. There’s so much that’s difficult about the moon for settlement and solar power viability is actually one of them.

Umbrias,

Small student:teacher ratios are literally the ideal. Wha.

Umbrias,

Everyone has different thresholds and preferred courting methods.

Umbrias,

Yeah that’s only a 2.3 m^3 displacement. That’s only 35 people roughly. From even a cursory Google I see more people than that painted rowing boats, and that’s a pretty pitiful tonnage for transporting goods, like say, two cows.

Methinks the even on record ships we have of the era would do just fine. Almost like the culture with huge variety and skill in watercraft because they live wholly reliant on a river had ways to transport things on that river.

Umbrias,

The point is clearly that democracy should apply to labor. I’m not even sure how that is being misinterpreted.

Umbrias,

I’m not, it’s literally not a metric relevant to the Earth as a closed system, it’s a measure of carbon capture and production.

Umbrias,

Not sure what this has to do with me pointing out your reference for earth effectively being a closed system is wrongly applied.

But also I agree, your memes analogy between capitalism and cancer doesn’t actually make sense. It’s just punchy but nonsensical.
