    "I had systemd run maybe for a combined 10h so far, in a number of new installations. Nothing but problems. " ROFL, bad workman blames his tools - there are plenty out there who have working systems.

    "Incidentally, if you cannot recognize and build on things that are in a finished state and are more than good enough, then you are most definitely not a scientist or an engineer. " so we should still be using coal fired power stations etc etc - you don't seem to recognise that better ideas come along all the time and replace the old ideas in all fields including software even if the "old ideas" were good enough for their time.

    unfortunately you will just bang your head against the wall. detractors of anything always expect something to be 100% correct 100% fully featured overnight - they are very unrealistic when it comes to having to learn something new

    "Obviously they are - you will have to have a garage in order to own a car in the future." - no, you won't, just a wall to put the charger on will do. All the street lights in my area are LED and can be adapted to be a charger as well so street charging will be easy.

  8. shit... you'd better get onto the climate scientists and tell them what they've missed out as they are so stupid.

  9. An article of subsidies for nuclear Nuclear Subsidies
    "The Forbes article above explicitly point out that decommissioning costs are included in the price." since when is the price agreed on the initial contract the actual price at the end of the build? They are always massively under quoted to try and make it seem a reasonable venture. it doesn;t matter what the reasons are for cost/time overrun, its the reality. "They also point out that past cost overruns in nuclear power were often the result of poor money management, not any flaws in the technology or construction." precisely and thats why they are so crap in built time and cost overruns. How many have actually been built on time/cost, I couldn't find any, all i can find is massive cost and time overruns.
    You are living in the land of unicorns

  10. "Nothing is safer than nuclear." - bollox, it is dangerous, expensive to commission/decommission, single point of failure, lovely target in the event of war, makes the land uninhabitable as soon as its built and for years after decommission, needs constant subsidy and then the owners can screw you over on how much they want to charge if they have a monopoly
    You could cover millions of roof with solar panels (and provide battery storage) / create wind farms by the time you've built a nuclear power station and have plenty of change in your pocket compared to the cost of multiple nuclear power stations

    Nuclear may have an upside but the downsides are not worth it. Keep whats there until their end of life and then all the nuclear supporters can put their hands in their pockets to fund the decommission of each nuclear site.

  23. if the rules of using autosteer are to have your hands on the wheel, maybe thats what you have to do. i expect they don;t want the idiot drivers to put their seats back and go to sleep. People do drive when very tired and fall asleep at the wheel so the "nag" will be useful.
