I noticed this morning in The NY Times that there was nothing aside from the date to indicate that it was the anniversary of September 11th - one of the most impactful days of most people's lives - killing thousands on the day and laun

It's not green washing if it actually reduces electricity consumption. Anyway, Miele dishwashers use unheated air blown over the dishes to dry them with minimal cost if you choose the long cycle (i.e. overnight). Bosch doesn't h

Probably one of the few Apple trademarks with an official exclusion from Apple's ownership.

Aside from energy storage, which the other comments touch, there is also the use of variable pricing to drive demand during peak solar production hours. Factories and other big users would have their most intensive work aligned to when ene

Agreed but there is a time component here as well. There may in fact be a doctor's shortage because getting a supply of new doctors takes X number of years but the demand is now. In the UK with NHS shortages it's all about wages

The convertible debt sort of does work like that in theory ... except that the expectation is that the goal is big growth or bankruptcy while trying (in which case the debt is discharged).

TV Pickup ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_pickup ) also leads to the political issue where one of the drivers of Brexit was that the 'EU' wanted to 'take away' traditional kettles because there was

Isn't radar and object detection standard for these types of systems?

Are there people who make this old science stuff for presentations? I'd love to see these things in action.

The first step is to take responsibility and not to victim blame. American counter-intel would be livid about this kind of thing. Sure it happens but attitude counts for alot and counter-intel in Germany just seems like they have alot of

People have been having sex on naval ships long before there were women on them ... same goes with doing drugs.

The German counter-terrorism forces hold quite a bit of blame here. These things happening on German soil are unacceptable and it shouldn't be the victim's fault. What is German media saying about this?

Go is a 2 player game that is much less social than bridge - similar to chess in that regard.

Germany wouldn't have subsidised that one though - this was German money.

Sort of incredible that Germany is getting decade old technology for this much investment.

People do say that. Usually the critique of (perfect) capitalism is that it (structurally and mathematically) skews towards increasing wealth for winners at the expense of the rest of the population and that this is inevitable. Then the re

Tech illiterate people should be using MacOS anyway. Windows just gets worse every year. MacOS is actually more like classic Windows than Windows 11 is so it's actually easier to use for tech illiterate people.

Liquid explosives have been used in multiple attacks, one of which was almost successful (but not in the end). The rationale for banning larger quantities of liquid are rational and done in response to a specific incident: https:/&#x

For the tech illiterate recommend Safari. For tech people, appeal to their privileged position and the importance of defending the web by choosing any other browser (or Safari). Both users can keep Chrome installed as a fallback - that wil

Pacific Bluefin Tuna (and all bluefin tuna) should be avoided. IUCN isn't really the best forum for advice on this as it takes into account government and industry interests - by the time they mark a food species as on the red list it

Practically, if your dev machine was compromised by a targeted attacker, they could create commits using your identity and if they compromised another dev machine could approve those commits using their identity. Then the attack would only

My reading of the comment above is that Geothermal uses the same chemical/physical process to fracture the rock and has to dispose of those chemicals afterwards (or leave them in place). Fossil fuel fracking needs a continuous supply

I pay about $2k/yr for news sites and the variability is high even for paid sites. Check out the WSJ Editorial pages if you want to observe diminished writing ability.

Maybe set your calendar back 50 or 100 years and get NYT from the archives? Image quality might be just as high.
