As somebody that works in the industry, I’d rather they take their time to do it correctly than rush the project and have critical failures along the way subjecting plant workers to unnecessary dose doing repairs. ALARA exists for a reason, and that factors into plant infrastructure and design as well. I’d rather us be years behind on Nuclear plants being built but 50 years ahead on nuclear safety. They do need to figure out a way to recycle spent nuclear fuel rods like France does though. You know, instead of building the only one to ever operate in the US on a fault line only to be shut down 6 years later because it was too expensive for them to beef up the structure to protect against potential earth quakes. Then decommissioned/decontaminated/demolished over the last 50 years. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-17-06 |

Fuck off with that nonsense. i don't need to speak in your uber-fucking-jargon instead of the vernacular to get my point across.

No, it is not. Nuclear is inherently a complex technology and thus is inherently expensive. Regulations isn't why. FUD isn't why - the NRC approved 18 Westinghouse AP1000s, only 4 were started, only 2 were completed. The rest of the license holders choice not to move forward due to *economic* reasons.
it's one of the few technologies we have that has an inverse cost-experience curve (ie it gets more expensive as we built it)
kinda like how with airplanes we learn from every accident and build better and more redundant and more safe aircraft, the same thing happened with nuclear.
and no nuclear isn't unfairly burdened by environmental regulations. they're subject to the same EIS, etc requirements of any other power plant (including renewables) and then subject to their type specific regulations (just like any other power plant).
No matter how much you run around and stomp your feet and try to blame politics will not make it so.
**Nuclear is inherently complex, that's part of what makes it cool. It also is what makes it costly** | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-17-06 |

But isn't nuclear waste not as much of an issue any longer? Especially with other tech that can use the spent fuel to generate more power from it? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-17-06 |
No shit it's almost like there was a nuclear scare that made the west not to build reactors and shut them down instead of doing more research to make them safer and cheaper to make. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-17-06 |
It matters because “senior” really doesn’t mean shit in the nuclear world except for pay grade. I’ve had “senior” in my title several times and was neither the guy with seniority nor most experience. I was just getting paid more.
Pretty much every engineer in nuclear plant who has been employed more than 4-5 years is going to have the title “senior XXX engineer”. It makes for good headlines, but there isn’t anything in a report by a “senior safety engineer” that would imply that this was anything other than a routine report that may or may not have been paid any attention to by anyone who actually mattered.
So, again, jargon matters. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-17-06 |
Man, how is it this hard to grasp what I've written in plain English. First of all, peoples views on Nuclear power aren't driven by their desire to love some coal, and that has jack shit to do with what I said. Second, you really emphasized THREE there like that is somehow a positive. Three different times there has been a major fucking disaster that destroyed whole communities and devastated pieces of land to such a degree that they're unfit for habitation for longer than anyone is going to be alive. That's a pretty big fucking deal, and sticks in people's minds.
I'm not even against Nuclear power, I'm simply trying to point out the big, obvious three reasons why some people might be pretty skeptical of building even more nuclear plants. Have you tried to rationally think through that people sometimes react to horrific things happening by not wanting them to happen again? You know, like a human being with basic social skills and reading comprehension? But go off man, keep just spouting irrelevant shit and doing everything you can to avoid understanding simple human emotions and reactions. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-17-06 |

Interesting, at least with the green power division, the Haliade-X offshore turbine is considered one of the best out there. Admittedly it is an Alstom design that GE bought the rights to, but they bought the rights because the main generator is a GE-derived unit I thought. I could be completely misremembering what I was told though.
The Vineyard Wind project in Massachusetts is putting in 64 of them this summer, with 5 already in service supplying power to the grid. They have to at least have some good qualities if they went with GE over Siemens or some other manufacturer. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-17-06 |

>Hydrogen-stored-Solar is half the price of nuclear power on a per MWh basis
If you actually have a reliable source for that that'd be good to see, from what I've seen nuclear is about twice as expensive than renewables *without* storage, but when storage is included they become very comparable in price per kWh.
But even then, nuclear is only so expensive because it hasn't been properly streamlined as an industry. Technology comes down in price with appropriate investment and research goes towards the technology. The only realistic bottleneck for the cost of any technology is the amount of materials it takes to make it work, and nuclear is the most energy dense form of power by far.
Also over investment in a single industry is a sure way to artificially inflate prices. Let's say for example that I have 100 apples, and I sell them for $1 each. Now you come and want to buy all the apples you can for $150. Now I don't have 150 apples to sell, but you have $150 to offer, so all of a sudden it becomes very enticing for me to up the price of my apples to $1.50 each.
Now instead let's say that I have my 100 apples, but you don't care what fruit you're going to buy, you just want to buy as much fruit as you can. The stall next to me has 50 pears, selling for $2 each, so instead of buying 100 apples for $1.50 each, what you should do is diversify and buy 100 apples for $1 each, then also buy 25 pears at $2 each, and you've just got 25% more fruit for the same price.
Price also isn't the only thing to consider. France built their nuclear fleet in about 20 years, and their nuclear fleet provides around 3 times as much power as Germany's entire wind industry annually, an industry that has been growing now also for around 20 years. Done right nuclear can be much faster than renewables.
Then there's also the environmental aspects to take into account for each power source.
Solar power creates a lot of toxic e-waste towards the end of the life of the solar panels and in the creation of the solar panels, around 400 times as much waste in mass to the amount of nuclear waste from power plants for an equal amount of power. This can be largely recycled, but not all of the waste can, and nuclear waste can also be recycled.
Wind turbines and hydro power can also have negative effects on local fauna. Bats have been shown to be particularly vulnerable to wind turbines, and many aquatic species are now threatened due to having routes back to their spawning sites be cut off from hydro electric plants.
You also really don't want to put all your eggs in one basket. Humanity did that with fossil fuels, and look where that got us. We really should diversify energy production, not concentrate it yet again into a single industry. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-17-06 |

We should probably tax it harder than smokes and alcohol. Personally, the goal would be to make it so that such things can really only ever exist as a non-profit public service sort of entity.

This is such an illuminating take, honestly. I work in higher education administration and one of the biggest issues we're currently having is that students just. don't. absorb. material, unless it's in tiny bite-sized pieces. That is genuinely one of the few ways to engage with them; everything has to be a short snippet or it wooshes right past them. Getting students to read a full email is like pulling teeth. We're trying to adapt and meet them at that level, but .. once again, I don't know what the right answer for any of this is, lol. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-17-06 |

No, MySpace definitely had a feed. It even had a recommendation engine, unless you are talking about it in launch state--which would be a foolish comparison considering most people didn't come to MySpace until after they began using algorithmic feeds.
MySpace also had sponsored content. Google gave them nearly $1 billion to hook into it, and MySpace sold a fuckton of sponsored content placement. So much so that they had their own inhouse sales team and I recall users protesting when MySpace tried blocking competitors like YouTube because MySpace couldn't monetize off of it.
Rose colored glasses and all that. The problem, as always, isn't social media. It's people. People know it's bad to over indulge, and do so anyway. They have agency. People fall back on dopamine, but that's truly a slippery slope since one can derive dopamine from literally anything if they try hard enough. Perhaps social media should watch all users and report them to their appropriate local medical authorities for intervention, if this is truly a public health epidemic yes? /s
edit: [Fark.com](http://Fark.com) is an example of a true, old school (but still WWW) social media site.

Well instead of banning social media you could refuse entry to patrons at places that require ID for some violence inciting thing they said about a minority group online, but that would require companies to put society before profits ; which at first *sounds next to impossible* until you can concisely word that said violence against society is not a potential but is a direct attempt at lowering the metric of future potential customers to sell product to.

Terrible reporting tbh. It's all "Oh, this utterly unpredictable accident occurred, but brave scientists will continue in the face of the adversity of nature".
No. A narcissistic dickhead who had swallowed the tech industry's mantra of "move fast and break things" decided to apply it to one of the most hostile environments on the planet, risking not only his own life, but those of the tourists that he bullshitted into believing in his homebrew deathtrap. A craft that ignored all extant safety standards and violated well-established, basic materials science principles. A year on we should be remembering those lost to his egomaniacal bluster, and condemn once more all those who put aside their principles to assist in this lethal, unethical business.

One company is giving you more storage because they are directly profiting from your using their service. The other company does not sell your information.
