But on the whole, it's a bunch of pie-in-the-sky shit with no ACTUAL plans for how to implement it or where the money for all this is coming from (hint: That means the taxpayer is going to likely be DIRECTLY boned for it, as opposed to rape-via-taxes).
Here's a hint: we're talking about the subsidies. Why don't you run along and play with the other kids while the adults are having a conversation?
Sorry? What mean "we" Kimosabe? Mine was the OP in this thread. And *I* was talking about the overall benefits Pai is pushing towards his telco buddies IN ADDITION to his shenanigants with the TBP.
Unless you're talking to yourself...
So you can be the one to toodle on along. No time for whinging little brats sniveling "but I'm an ADULT!".
I was talking about the other things he was doing that, taken all together, are helping his industry buddies maximize profits at the expense of their customers and the American people as a whole.
Seriously. What IS the future of a place like GameStop? More and more game vendors are moving to electronic distribution. And you can basically buy the physical hardware ANYWHERE. That's basically a knife in the heart for them.
No, that's actually what the mechanical ventilation is for. Automated number of air changes per hour. if it's so bad that doesn't take care of it, buy some stink-slayer.
It is. Dicking around with the NRC is expensive as fuck. And that's IF they'll pay attention to you.
And yes, the main problem is that the reactors AREN'T standardized and therefore can't be mass produced. And we DO have new-generation equipment that's orders of magnitude more safe than anything that's been built in the last 50 years. All the stuff that people are afraid of has essentially been obsolete equipment design for nearly 70 years.
I think you overestimate exactly how tight the tolerances are. Boiling water is relatively simple. The main issue is the rube-goldberg-like redundant cooling systems (which take up the majority of the facility space),
Additionally, he's not looking to build a nuclear plant right off the bat. He's looking to build a test reactor so he can explore ways to make building them more efficient and better able to take advantage of economies of scale,
Slashdot Mirror
Spikes huh?
=)
I won't.
Because I won't even come in...
I'm sorry, in this case, they're essentially talking about simply printing endless money AND taxing/tolling the shit out of you.
Ads are what supports their free version. Stop being a cheapskate and pay for premium if you don't like them.
In some cases I do!
But I will NOT be nickeled and dimed to death by every last website on the planet.
And a significant portion of them will do just that...if not less...

Sorry, but ads are, unfortunately, a transmission vector for malware and compromise code.
I do not choose to open my systems to that.
And, even if I did, it's MY desktop real-estate, not the ad purveyor's.
If they wish to lock me out of their service? C'est la vie.
Tell that to the guys in the EU trying to regulate the length of candle wicks.
Sorry. Did you have anything cogent to say?
They're "You're making too much, we're going to invent a reason you're bad, and retroactively fine you to fund our pork projects!" taxes.

We have hate crime and thought crime and now FUTURE CRIME!
WHEE!
Because stopping ACTUAL crimes (like grooming gangs, child rape, truck-of-peace, home invasions, etc) are all too much trouble!
We have have our personnel just sit safely behind a desk and "arrest" people all day long this way!
Pai seems to be doing his level best to fuck up the FCC and hand his industry buddies bottomless pots of gold.
Not sure what Trump was thinking when he appointed him...
So instead of building something safe by design, they're going to dick around with Rube Goldberg cooling and control systems.
Seriously. What IS the future of a place like GameStop?

That's basically a knife in the heart for them.
Because why the hell should we be able to have clear and concise visual navigation aids?
Pfft! What is this? 2018?
So, because Microsoft failed at creating a workable modern browser, Firefox should just say "fuck it"?
So an MSR is basically impossible?
Never mind that we've actually BUILT MSRs in the past...
1: Aircraft Reactor Experiment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
2: Molten Salt Reactor Experiment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
After which the US government basically "picked a winner" and research was shut down.
So, in light of your information being wrong, would you care to modify your position at all?
No, that's actually what the mechanical ventilation is for. Automated number of air changes per hour.
if it's so bad that doesn't take care of it, buy some stink-slayer.
FUD
Fear
Uncertainty

Please bring real arguments and not emotional twaddle.

No, that's not "location specificity". That's simply local interference.
Localtion specific is basically engineering concerns.
Like building a nuclear plant right on top of an active fault line? BAD!
And with geothermal, there are only certain places in the US where the geology is suitable for implementing a geothermal plant.
Additionally, he's not looking to build a nuclear plant right off the bat.
He's looking to build a test reactor so he can explore ways to make building them more efficient and better able to take advantage of economies of scale,
