It turns out that when you make a massive profit motive to sell expensive fancy interventions, health outcomes suffer. You see this to an even more extreme degree amongst the ultra…

Sure, but that's not what's driving these increases in costs.

Sure, this is of course true, but there's also a reason that Americans spend way way more on their healthcare than any other developed nation, and it's not that they have better he…

I think one problem with that comparison is that due to how energy intensive these datacentres are, they are very fast depreciating assets, unlike e.g. the telecom infrastructure t…

No, I mean on an age-corrected basis, throughout the spectrum of ages. i.e. young americans are spending more on health care than young americans used to, even if it's also true th…

Fair enough, though I think it's rather unlikely that they'd be lying about their work on a big model, even if one might be reasonably skeptical if the model will be any good. I th…

It's not just boomers (though they are the biggest part of it). Americans of all ages are spending more on healthcare, and seeking more healthcare interventions than in previous de…

Healthcare has consistently been one of the biggest drivers of US GDP and job growth numbers for years now. This is one of the major things that has helped explain why US consumer …

Regarding > Mistral seems to have given up on reaching the frontier and focuses instead on niches like moderation, OCR, and robot navigation. That's not actually true. They at leas…

The very very northern tip of Germany reaches almost as far north as the southernmost tip of the Alaskan panhandle, but most of Germany is more like mid-south Canada on a latitude …

Right, I just mean I wonder how much of the buildup to this project will be wasted.

Yeah, they say that, but I wonder how much of it is just to make the Trump admin happy. Like, I don't doubt that they will go and build gas projects, and might even use some of thi…

Crazy the sorts of lies people make up here.

I somehow missed the "this", that makes way more sense, thank you for pointing it out.

Hopefully they take the money and use to to build more wind turbines in Europe I guess. Absolutely shameful what the USA has become.

Because otherwise Japan would have sold Treasuries to plug its financial gaps and defend the Yen, which would have increases US bond yields. Is the US Treasury now on the hook ever…

I don't really understand where you two disagree. You appear to be saying the same thing. Sure, nobody is campaigning to rejoin with the old priviliges and opt-outs, but that's bec…

I think there's truth to this in that it really took the wind out of all those other exit-campaign's sails, but I'd never say that we're better off without the UK. The UK is a dyna…

Before anyone gets too excited, this is from 2025. It's a statement from a Mayor of Manchester trying to raise his political profile, not a statement from a prime minister who need…

They say that the difference between an optimist and a pessimist is that a pessimist says "It can't get any worse than this!", and an optimist says "sure it can". I am an optimist …

Germany has the ability to curtail renewables when there's no buyers available for it. They offer low or even negative prices though specifically because it's better for just about…

Interesting, I didn't know that the UK wasn't going to be a part of Wero. You still have SEPA though right? Hopefully this comes with time.

Sure, but the neat thing about this is that Germany did not have IDeal, but is starting to get Wero adoption.

By 2017 Germany had 8 NPPs online. German nuclear power generation was never at 5x that level. Back in 2010, it was around 2x that level though. > Also, your claims about the Germa…
