deeeeeplearning··on Drone firm DJI promises 'local data mode' to fend off US government's mooted ban
>But in the case of DJI and Huawei and TikTok the US is more concerned about how those chinese companies erode US business like boeing, cisco or Facebook

deeeeeplearning··on Small nuclear reactors: tiny NuScale reactor gets safety approval
First section your Article: "As of 2017, identified uranium reserves recoverable at US$130/kg were 6.14 million tons (compared to 5.72 million tons in 2015). At the rate of consumption in 2017, these reserves are sufficient for slightly over 130 years of supply. The identified reserves as of 2017 recoverable at US$260/kg are 7.99 million tons (compared to 7.64 million tons in 2015).[9]"

Doesn't seem clearcut

>We'll see of this is in any way or form sustainable, especially since uranium is also a finite ressource.

I believe at current consumption rates there is still several hundred years worth of uranium. Presumably Fusion will have been figured out by then or we've killed ourselves with a climate disaster or something worse.
