Kazinsal posted:RBMK reactors are less power plants and more engineering nightmares that sometimes generate electricity. I don't think a single class of reactor has ever had quite as many radiation release incidents as the RBMKs have. For all it's flaws, after the fixes from Chernobyl were implemented the RBMKs became fairly reliable reactors. There are still ones in operation. And despite Chernobyl being the worst Nuclear accident that we know of, it remains only the 65th worst energy accident, and after the initial body count of 56, only 15 known and confirmed deaths from cancer have been directly traced to it by the UN. I'd rather have more RBMKs than more gas plants but guess what we are actively building more of in the middle of a climate emergency...

Proud Christian Mom posted:thats because the external forces that can stop this(the free market) has actively chosen not to. Its this. Despite being a largely digital economy, companies continue to view IT and Security especially as "Cost Centers" not worth investing in during their rush to market, and most companies view ransomware as nothing more than a cost of doing business now.

Proud Christian Mom posted:its cheaper to eat the disaster and let insurance pay for it all than to spend the money yearly to make it not a worry This may be the only thing that forces change, actually, as the instance of ransomware is increasing, and Cybersecurity Insurance providers are getting sick of paying out for simple issues.

piL posted:On the other hand, $26 billion is just the cost of the event; don't forget the cost of each country maintaining athletes and their support cadre. Most of them pay for the training themselves. The US Olympic committee does have a program now that links them with possible jobs with Olympic sponsors, but most of them are holding down normal jobs to cover their needs + their Olympic training.

piL posted:While I'm fairly convinced that Branson's "achievements" here are hollow and meaningless, I think the idea of "we did that poo poo in the 60s, who cares" from some of the tweets responding to that article isn't a great attitude. We lost ground and we will need to retread it before advancing. None of these flights do that though? Nothing that both craft did is new or novel, they are largely rehashes of the same tech we already have. SpaceX and even Electron are leaps and bounds ahead in doing actual groundbreaking work. Hell, even Sierra Nevada Corp's mini-shuttle Dream Chaser is doing more than Virgin Galactic is

hobbesmaster posted:I mean if you’re saying virgin galactic is just an X-15 carrying passengers dragon is just a larger Apollo command module. It’s all a bit dumb. Prior to today there was no air launched single stage to space passenger spacecraft, now there is. That’s something. Single stage to space is overselling a ballistic non-orbital flight. I get your point, but I don't think these really qualify.

Meshka posted:NASA has done amazing things, especially via Mars rovers and deep space probes, but Space X pioneered reusable rockets and Virgin Galactic might pioneer sub orbital passenger vehicles. NASA is a government entity, they don’t have the risk tolerance or incentive to quickly innovate. SpaceX is largely using JPL sourced research for this stuff. Did they improve on it? Yes. But what you are seeing SpaceX do is built off decades of JPL and tax payer funded research. SpaceX just took it a step further. Even thought SpaceX designed their engines in house, they were designed using knowledge gained from the Apollo and Shuttle programs to improve engine design. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonnell_Douglas_DC-X Kazinsal posted:Yeah I'm thoroughly anti-Elon but SpaceX has managed to crank out more advancements in space exploration technology in the past 10 years than the traditional MIC-associated space contractors have in 40. SpaceX is doing amazing work. But they are not doing it in vacuum. Had we not had decades of NASA/JPL research that is publicly available for re-use, funded by Taxpayers, Spacex wouldn't be doing what it does right now.
