TACO was bluffing and Iran called his bluff? Sounds reasonable. Effectively Iran won.

Many people are inherently lazy so it stands to reason that given an easy out they will take it. Only a fool trusts critical advice without checking it. It appears that there are a lot of fools out there.

Actually it’s the 2nd of April. Oddly enough the cost of memory, gpus and cpus has increased sharply due to the demand and futures pseudo demand for them.

So he is effectively JD Vance nee Bowman.

It’s weird, Demented Donny has taken a pariah nation that most people really would like regime change to occur in and created an underdog that people are rooting for. I wonder how much longer the people in the US are able to put up with it before he is replaced?

I was surprised to hear this from people I knew in the US. Some were right in with the gun culture and others were definitely not and didn’t own guns. Like all stats, you have to look at the details rather than the averages.

“Last summer for the first time in the history of warfare Russian soldiers even surrendered to an armed ground robot.”

And then Trump closes the Straight of Hormuz and ev sales increase. The question is whether Tesla gets a boost.

My argument is still that the investment in nuclear is fairly long and all through that renewable generation is eating up the margin that a reactor needs to make money. Investors see that as uncertainty and won’t invest. That appears to be the main reason why there not a lot of interest.

I’m not arguing the value of nuclear power it is really that the pointy heads can’t see that it is competitive with renewables. Personally I think that as renewables get to saturation then we will work out where we need continuous power generation. The trouble with nuclear is that 10-30 year lead time is difficult to commit to such an uncertain future.

In many countries it is possible to build new nuclear plants. They haven’t been built due to economics. When you say the costs are comparable with renewables, the market obviously doesn’t think so.
