I liked that Shrub had an initiative to focus on going to the moon. Unfortunately the nation seemed to give a large collective shrug about it at the time. It may have been that a response was delayed because Congresscritters and the MIC needed time to set up the appropriate channels and controls for graft.
" (1) an actual SMRs prototype runs reliable for a few years"
"Oh, and those competitive costs need to include full insurance."
Those insurance companies will need those years of data to price any insurance appropriately, otherwise it's anybody's WAG. Sort of a Catch-22.
I suspect that we're on the cusp.
At any rate, the trend is away from that style of casino floor. The Bellagio and Wynn casino floors are clean and neatly laid out. The Wynn even has windows. Ditto the Aria.
I would expect a combination, such as little nooks and crannies that allow people to explore (for those who like that kind of thing), and somewhat obvious corridors between the primary dollar extraction hubs (for owners who like that kind of thing).
Which Las Vegas are you talking about? There are two, you know.
The one that means "Lost Wages".
But the "demand" for "AI" is entirely speculative and not even real, it is more of "build it and they will come, especially if we also corner the hardware market" kind of strategy. Except that "they will come" part isn't really happening.
If AI companies facilitate pr0n like the early internet, "they will come".
We do these things not because they make sense, but to try to prop up a failing defense contractor
"We do not do these things because they make cents, we do these things because they make dollars!"
Please consider this suitably modified.
"No student left behind"
With end results including "I love the uneducated".
It's also a microcosm of the Challenger disaster o-ring failure.
Except this time the hats made the right decision to abort and reschedule.
So...progress?
Heh. Interesting interpretation to "We do not do these things because they are easy, we do these things because they are hard!"
Freezing temperatures in Florida. Leaking o-rings. Fuel leak.
Why do I have this sense of deja vu?
Yeah, deja view all over again. I saw an article yesterday from a fluff site saying something like "NASA picked the worst week to fly Artemis", and I immediately thought about temps and polar vortices. Not at all. They went on about how the Olympics are starting, Superbowl is Sunday, and Artemis is going to be knocked out of the news/viewing cycle. I thought, "That's it? That's all?".
My last thought leaving the article was wondering if that was a valid conclusion. Tagging in with the world's biggest TV show doesn't sound like a PR disaster. I would expect a lot of pressure against NBC by the government to publicize the win.
If not, he's holding it wrong.
Sadly, modern Christian Nationalists have renegotiated with the text (they love doing that) to make it say what they like.
They have good practice at it, from the regular practice of reinterpretation of the Book of Fireside stories promulgated by proponents at the pulpit.
"Allowing, would be one thing, if all such things from all religions were allowed without prejudice..."
A law would have to have a lot of words in it to worm itself around the constitution. It'd be a mess. If they ended up allowing Pastafarianism, though...
Bonus for the kiddies: three (3) weeks off of school for measles quarantines.
Well, back to the Good Ol' Days!
You've been Berkeley'ed!
