If you want to throw a moral hissy fit anyway, be my guest.
1. That nuclear is "compact", which it isn't. Your error is a factor of about 2.5, a nuclear plant requires more land than the equivalent solar farm at most latitudes where solar makes sense. Dunno about wind, I hear it makes the view terrible and kills many orange-feathered birds.
I tooked the area of the Flamanville Block 3, France nuclear plant as an example. It's a 1.6 GW plant covering an area of about 1.4 square kilometers. I was rounding it for better calculation.
2. That nuclear is (under the current regulatory regimes) cheaper than it is. Your error is a factor of 3 or more. But I guess that can be overcome by cutting regulation.
Again, I was using the Flamanville nuclear plant as an example. Total construction cost was 13 billion Euros.
Please, tell me again, what you believe to know differently.
The point I was to make was that the only thing that speaks for Nuclear is its compact size, and this is a moot point, because I can use areas of land for Solar, which I would otherwise not being able to use (roofs), or which I can continue to use otherwise (farming around wind turbines).
The only thing that speaks for a nuclear reactor is the smaller area footprint. On the other hand, I can't put a nuclear reactor on a roof, nor can I farm the land between the nuclear facilities, which makes the area footprint point moot.
" And an algorithm with lots of if-then-goto structures is still a mathematical algorithm" No it isn't. The logical comparison may be mathematical but the then-goto part is not. Turings machine had to add that to be universal. If all it could do was arithmetic it would have been next to useless.
It is. Sorry. And no, Turing's machine did not have to "add goto". In Alan Turing's original paper (Turing 1936), the concept of GOTO does not even make sense, and neither does it in Alonzo Church's lambda-calculus. The Church-Turing hypothesis states, that all functions (yes, we are purely in the realm of Mathematics) that are lamda-defineable, are also Turing calculable.
Just because something is mathematically inconsistent doesn't mean its logically inconsistent, after all, the vast majority of computer programs contain a whole load of if-then-goto structures to provide functionality which could not be achieved just by using some pure maths algo.
If something is mathematically inconsistent, it is necessarily logically inconsistent, as Logic is a subset of Mathematics. And an algorithm with lots of if-then-goto structures is still a mathematical algorithm.
This somewhat inconvenient truth was proven by Alan Turing (1927), who proved that everything that is calculable is also calculable by his Universal machine (which can't do anything else than add 1 or subtract 1 or do an if-zero-then-goto), and by Kurt Gödel (1931) with his famous incompleteness theorem, where he proved that any system which contains Arithmetic (and our Universe does) is either not complete or not consistent.
And the physical models of computer games are either incomplete, or they don't contain Arithmetic.
But "historical claims" are bullshit. In Germany, we have the joke "Germany in the borders of 1244! SSC Napoli is the next German Soccer champion!". Do you think, Lithuania will claim Belarus? Do you dream of a common border between Poland and Türkiye? What if Egypt is ruled again from Baghdad, and the Mongols rule in China? Upstate New York gets returned to the Iroquois?
It would have upped the pressure for Russia to take Ukraine before they got the nukes working.
The nukes were already working, when Ukraine got independent in 1992. They were the old Soviet nukes which happened to be located on Ukrainian territory. In the Budapest agreement, Ukraine voluntarily transferred their nukes to Russia in exchange for Russian warranty to respect Ukrainian autonomy, which President Putin broke in 2014, when he occupied Crimea and staged an uprising in Eastern Ukraine.
My reading is that it's likely to show up whenever people become nervous about their future prospects (with no urgent need to take positive action *now!*).
Yes, that is called Apocalypticism. It is universal and not a Christian speciality. Christian apocalypticism in the Modern era is an U.S. phenomenon.
