It’s not over 'til it actually sinks. If they can tow it back to port, it might be repairable instead of a total loss.

I found them via IP address, so I don’t know anything about the company beyond that.
2a09:: 2a11:: and 2409:: are the shortest.
Data centers […] have traditionally relied on renewable sources like solar and wind
I don’t think that’s really true. The green/grey graphs in this article show how difficult that is: https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/clean-energy/google-and-others-have-committed-to-24-7-carbon-free-energy-what-does-that-mean
Tuvalu only has 12,000 people. They could probably fit in the airport.
Net positive, like driving toward a cliff at a slightly slower speed.
Fear not, spacecraft implosions are very unlikely.
Somebody should tell them about the toasty glow of atomic energy.
It makes perfect sense that Taiwan should formally renounce any claim to the rest of China.
What would Taiwan gain by doing this? It’s not obvious to me whether declaring independence would make the PRC-invasion scenario more or less likely.
Wait till you hear about the origins of Volkswagen.
That’s 4200 TWh/year, or 480 GW.
Though that ignores the power consumption that isn’t electrical yet, like transportation and heating.
Currently that backup/storage is mostly fossil fuels, so building nuclear would displace fossil fuels. As long as nuclear remains expensive, we will only build it because not emitting CO2 is socially valuable.
Nuclear would have to get a lot cheaper to eat wind/solar’s lunch. Maybe that could happen someday, but it’s not worth worrying about now.
This is only good news if it displaces thermal coal and gas generating stations.
Is there another plausible scenario? Wind and solar are getting so cheap, that displacing either with nuclear is like flushing money down the toilet.
A sufficiently-large pile of cash could redirect that tritium from weapons to fusion development when the time comes. Seems better than not having enough supply anywhere.
Java is still borked in a dual-stack environment: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8170568
It’s interesting that India is building lots of heavy water reactors, because they produce tritium, which would be useful for bootstrapping fusion: https://www.science.org/content/article/fusion-power-may-run-fuel-even-gets-started
Did I miss India annexing Europe and Canada?
Did you miss Parker Solar Probe, Perseverance/Ingenuity, JWST, and DART?
I wouldn’t call this observatory a “sun probe” because the L1 point is still 0.99 AU from the sun. For comparison, the Parker Solar Probe is expected to reach 0.046 AU.
Then it would be a total loss. Nothing’s out there.
