Not sure what is driving this case in particular, but I doubt the average naturalist or birder really cares about Musk or Twitter. They are just geeks who want to enjoy nature, and this kind of activity disrupts nature. Coastal birds can b

Not the parent. But maybe the courts are an alternative model for making these kind of decisions. Let the different parties make a case and then have an independent judge decide it as a question of law.

War is a team sport. People have a reason to work for a common goal that is bigger than themselves. And that requires a supresion of a lot of competitive spirit. Not everyone can win a medal, be a general, or an astronaut. It takes thou

Human culture is like nothing else on planet earth for cooperation. Although I think a lot of the cooperative behaviour is still based on kin groups, we just aren't particularly precise about who is kin and who isn't. And those

There is no reason why they would necessarily need to charge such high monthly prices in poorer countries. If the marginal costs can be kept low enough then it would be stupid to miss out on the revenue. A key to that is probably the inte

But at this point in their plan it doesn't matter if they undercut existing providers. If the marginal cost of the extra client is small enough then it is just extra revenue. And you get the clients operations dependant on that extra

But it doesn't necessarily need high subscriber rates in any one place to make lots of money. If you just focus on those high population areas, 1.7 billion people live in cities. If you can sell to a few in a thousand then you will h

Th co2 emissions from steel used by the turbine are tiny compared to the co2 avoided by building the turbine. So it is still a big net win in terms of CO2. Also, recycling steel releases less co2 than making it from scratch so there is a

I guess it could reduce the risk of another platform creating network effects.

YouTube seems to have some gear focused channels like HowNOT2.

It is difficult to be well informed about these issues. Even without nuclear you need to think about the grid, environmental impact, economics, supply chains, financing. And nuclear adds complex science and engineering that would take sev

Not the parent. But grid scale battery storage does exist. The UK has around 30GW in the pipeline and deployed around 1GW last year. Projects like xlinks are not directly comparable to other mega projects as they are far less monolithic.

But downtime of a turbine only affects one turbine. The rest can carry on as normal and generate power. With nuclear you can lose 1000MW all at once.

Some things are more resilient to those things than others.
405.
by 7952 3y ago
No but some are more resilient than others. It is much easier politically to shut a nuclear power station down than remove dirty wood burners from people's houses.

by 7952 3y ago
You are talking about an amount of money that exceeds the easily available resources of the developer. That is true of nuclear but it is also completely normal in renewables. Projects if all types need financing. That could be a $200k an

by 7952 3y ago
Yes absolutely, if the goal is co2 reduction.
408.
by 7952 3y ago
Blaming things on neglect or politics just isn't useful. We need power sources that have some resilience to those things.

For planting people develop more nuance than just a binary season change. They look at the condition of soil, temperature, likely weather looking forward etc. Right now it is spring where I live. The soil is a bit wet and clumpy. We may

Cost of capital might vary between types of project. It is becoming common in battery storage to have sites funded by private equity. And non-recourse debt is common in offshore wind. Different sources of capital have different capabiliti

It is more zero trust than it would otherwise be though. An RDP server with tailscale can reject by default packets coming from a LAN. And you can get ALC before a connection can be made.

I think some of the space saving benefits are overstated. Baggage claim takes up a surprisingly large amount of space and you still need customs.

I guess the security may level the playing field by discouraging attackers from taking more effective weapons.

I guess ERP companies are better placed to offer this kind of thing than an accountancy?

I don't think the article is suggesting one gender should dominate. It is possible that on average one or the other gender will be better at a particular craft. For historic reasons we don't necessarily know where those natural a

You need to have a lot of gas capacity but the actual usage of that capacity can drop.

I assume that underground lines need more maintenance than overground. Does anyone know why this is?

The cost effectiveness of these kind of programs is really interesting. It is normal to assume that space is super difficult and this plays into the geeky pride we all have. It is literally rocket science! And then we all get depressed wh

It is a low effort comment based solely on the country. Whether or not that is racism seems like semantics. And then it turns the argument into an American culture war rather than actually considering the issues involved.

I think that approach could be explained by the inherent difficulty in modelling risk for complex systems.
