Well put. When you spent 20 years working to get your superpowers, "Everyone gets superpowers" sucks.

> A state-of-the-art molten salt reactor (MSR), particularly a thorium-fueled or fast-spectrum design with online reprocessing, uses thorium-232 (or recycled actinides) as fuel and produces fission product waste with the worst byproducts having half-lives on the order of decades to a few hundred years.

> that they arent willing to issue corrections for even their most falsified pieces.

The Intercept article linked to from your piece 'debunking' the piece (https://theintercept.com/2024/02/28/new-york-times-anat-schw...) claims:

> In a response to The Intercept’s questions about Schwartz’s podcast interview, a spokesperson for the New York Times walked back the blockbuster article’s framing that evidence shows Hamas had weaponized sexual violence to a softer claim that “there may have been systematic use of sexual assault.”

That's not much of a 'walking back' much less a 'debunking'. That article is also bizarre - they talk about "October 7 sensationalism" - a murder rampage among families killing 800+ innocent people is pretty sensational.

Some quick research gives the following first hand reports of sexual assult:

I feel the energy conversation is dominated by people that don't realize how far Solar tech has come recently arguing with other people that don't realize short nuclear half lives have gotten recently.

No. Modern like 1950's modern. Unadorned, functional.

1900s: Noveau - plant shapes. 1940s: deco - geometry. Windows XP: gradients, color. Windows Vista: semitransparency.

1950s, Windows 8: 'modern' - strip away unnecessary decoration.


The final name was also called Modern. I know this person worked on Windows 8, but as a member of the public we definitely knew the Windows 8 UI was called 'Modern'.

I don’t think it’s rational to flatten data. If an item contains an array of sub items which in turn contains an array of subitems, that item belongs in one place not three tables.

I know those view isn’t popular, but I’ve happily used Linux, Python, virtualisation, node and Rust when they were laughed at and I’m not particularly concerned.


> sovereign wealth fund? That seems like a great tool for a certain corrupt politician to use as a carrot to make CEO's bend to his/her whims.

Taking ownership of these companies is a Bernie thing not a Trump thing, but a sovereign wealth fund is used to pay off national debt.


You can't "pay off debt" with a "wealth fund".

You won't have any "wealth" if you use it.

That's just taxing and spending...


Depends how much of the wealth you use but yes you're right - Norway and Singapore offset debt with the fund rather than pay it back.
