The land thing isn't anywhere near enough of a concern for me, especially when dual uses of land are quite feasible.

24/7 is just about over commissioning and having storage. Build 10x as much and store what you generate. At those sorts of levels even an overcast day generates.

Storage. It's all about storage. In exactly the same way that our water is handled. We have reservoirs to handle the times when natural water supply is low.

You're using factors of less than 10 to argue against a factor of 100.

  • Finland: 338,145 km² and 5.6 million people
  • Germany: 357,596 km² and 82 million people

Where do you want to put your hazardous waste again?

$60k per MW or $210M for a nuclear reactors worth (3.5GW). Sure... the reactor will go 24/7 (between maintenance and refuelling down times, and will use less land (1.75km² Vs ~40km²) but at 1% of the cost, why are we still talking about nuclear.

(I'm using the UKs Hinckley Point C power station as reference)

So more how newsgroups fell, because ISPs didn't want to run the servers due to storage.

I really wish running your own mastodon was as accepted as running your own email server. There'll be no "blue check mark" problem if your company runs the server and only provides accounts to employees.

No. The have nag screens for donations, but they don't block on principle.

Biggest button needs to be "Disable lane keeping assist" and that should sort most of the stress he refers to.

I think you're underestimating how badly it taught them. I see a lot of developers (when interviewing) that are unable to reason about code.

Lot's of people learn how to cook by following recipes, but they don't try to get work in catering or running restaurants. That requires a different level of understanding.

SO was the coding recipe book. It was fine for hobbyists. Not professionals.
