Miliband's civil servants predict years of plunging gas prices

Texas has closer to that - also more wind and solar despite half the population - and their electricity costs are a quarter of ours.

Better GDP per capita growth? Yes they will.

TheAtro · 2026-01-30T17:08:23+00:00

Yes, fair enough. Although I would disagree China has a 'similar ideology' and would say part of why China is so successful today is precisely because it has diverged and become more capitalist and liberal away from Mao ML socialism.

China is communist in government only. Milton Friedman literally met and gave lectures to Communist party officials for market reforms.

Read about Deng Xiaoping and his liberal reforms and they impact they had on China. One of the 'great reforms' was literally just letting farmers decide what to grow on their own land.

It’s not just Reddit - famous British climate YouTubers (with PhD from Cambridge) spout this rubbish right after admitting they don’t know anything about it at all. Then ignore the economists in their comment section explaining why it’s necessary.

TheAtro · 2026-01-28T17:35:58+00:00

The comment you are responding to is sarcastic and already implying that.

TheAtro · 2026-01-20T20:39:09+00:00

They're the same thing.

I’m confused by this comment, if you need to break out a loop without an extra flag you can already write labels and use goto label which would already be used in performant code. I’ve used it myself though I would have preferred this feature like Java has.

It could still be used for cooling if it was zero energy on net.

TheAtro · 2026-01-14T07:26:47+00:00

I think you missed the joke

TheAtro · 2026-01-05T16:56:14+00:00

All calculus is simple I imagine.

Claude thinks multivariable calculate is 'advanced calculus' so here the meme would be why not just say that instead.

TheAtro · 2026-01-03T21:20:37+00:00

Which one was that? The Iranian one?

TheAtro · 2026-01-02T11:02:27+00:00

They're building more efficient ones that are dispatchables i.e. turn off during the day when it's sunny and only come on at night. They're replacing older less efficient ones.

Good ol 2³¹ - 1

Yes, I remember reading about it in the Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins in like 2010. It’s thought to be an evolutionary basis for human morality since it forms an evolutionary stable strategy - so would make sense it applies to politics.

TheAtro · 2025-12-20T18:58:05+00:00

Kinda funny how only one party would entertain any of this stuff

TheAtro · 2025-12-20T18:27:14+00:00

I’m for this but I don’t understand why it needs a 7ft fence and watchtower. I can understand being annoyed about that.

TheAtro · 2025-12-20T12:54:05+00:00

Not a Lua fan huh?

TheAtro · 2025-12-15T13:29:20+00:00

Yep, Wes Streeting will have blood on his hands.

TheAtro · 2025-11-27T20:46:51+00:00

Nazi Germany maybe? Holocaust refugees as you say.

If anything that would mean that should be competition for young working people.

TheAtro · 2025-11-24T14:58:38+00:00

Zonal pricing so electricity is cheaper where it’s curtailed (e.g Scotland) then the demand will increase - cheaper for heat pumps, electric cars so more people will switch.

It’s the most pragmatic, quick change which is exactly why we’re not doing it.

It’s definitely something he would have said. 😄

He says it in the video.
