Comment Less a privacy, and more a security issue (Score 1) 124

Government is after these companies for encryption, which the companies claim it is about privacy. But this really should be about security. By using these services, you are nearly guaranteed that end user is who they say. What is needed is for governments to hand out a packet of vetted digital certificates and then use these in various services/applications.

Comment Google needs to split into 2 groups (Score 1) 143

China is pushing massive amounts of effort on AI for industry and military. Doing this should not be an issue. However, these ppl are likely to be a detriment to this. So best thing would be to do a NASA/USAF kind of thing. Split the group into 2 with those that fighting military involvement and put them in a group devoted to industry, pure development while other group continues to do pure development but in all areas including military. For this 2nd group, put in ppl with security clearance.

Comment So many idiots here (Score 1) 249

It used to be that we had intelligent ppl and postings on /.
Nuclear power plants do NOT have hires in their cooling towers, ESP. BLACK ONES. Only idiots bought off on this.
They burned a bunch of tires in the cooling towers to play to the anti-nuclear idiots that run around in the west, so that do not pay attention to things like Ukraine taking a chunk of Russia.

Comment Bad idea (Score 1) 43

reagan and W focused on spending large amounts of $ on DoD fast and wastefully. These are NOT the ones to emulate.
We should be looking at IKE and JFK. Both of these men spent money with a dual use to them. It is insane that we waste money on buying shells (both ammo and missiles) when instead, we should spend the $ on automating the lines and getting the costs of shells very low and fast to make.
Likewise, when doing that, it should be required that the automation equipment work on regular ammo and other manufacturing goods.

Comment Re: yet nobody answers the question (Score 1) 156

Add the costs of Wind OR PV to a new fossil plant that is then ran at 2/3 to 3/4 of the time, AND subtract the massive subsidies for wind/PV as well as FF.
Then compare that to the cost of a nuclear SMR while subtracting the paltry subsidies that America uses on nuclear.
You will find that Nuclear is a great deal cheaper. Nuclear SMR is even cheaper.

/. And Reddit would be able to use to not know the name, but say that they have a unique ID from China. Said person could still register with anonymous logons for different purposes , but upon 1 ID being booted, then all are. Likewise, gives others the ability to block a person, not a logon.
