Looks like pure bullshit or utter incompetence. Yeah, your mountain is actually at 12°C, but with 50kW or more of processing power, you're actually creating an oven if you haven't got ventilation or cooling. Stupid

Yes, but china has _much more_ inhabitants than the US. Per capita numbers are not misleading in this case as we want to know the mean commitment of every person.

by Faaak 8y ago
That's completely false. For example, the per-capita CO₂ emissions in 2013 were of 20 tons/cap for the US, whereas it was 8.5 for China (world mean is 6.3): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_g

Maybe PV would have protected your roof underneath (if it was not integrated, that is)

by Faaak 8y ago
The LCA of PV solar is a net positive. The footprint is thus good.

I don't know where you buy your led light bulbs but here in switzerland you usually have three choices (white, warm white, and something yellow-ish). I find the warm-white nuance quite pleasant. Then, if you still want another colour,

For anyone curious, there's a cute youtube series that the ESA made explaining what is rosetta, philae and what do they do. It's targeted for kids, but I loved it too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trljrwTbr4w&am

Why would IPv6 be a failure ? It sounds like you don't know what you're talking about

CICO is not exactly true. Not all calories are equal. Fat calories, for example, are much less absorbed by the body than carbohydrates.

Why isn't your pihole a stand-alone DNS resolver instead on relying on 3rd-party services ?

Plenty of captive portals operators use the 1.1.1.0/24 ip subnet for their authentication pages. A shame they thought these IPs would never be used

In the EU, you don't even need that. Roaming is included in all of EU's countries. My operator (Free) also includes the USA.

If you work in something related to physics (energy, maths, chemistry), I can not recommend `units` enough. As a small example: You have: 10 kcal / g * 24 kg * .13USD/kWh You want: USD * 36.261333 It's so useful wh

As a repair café volunteer, I've found two drawbacks to being a volunteer/having repair cafés: - A small subset of people buy shitty products (1$ bicycle lamps, lights, cheap-as-shit appliances like clocks, hoovers, …). I have no

Very ignorant question, but could it be possible to artificially start an earthquake in order to prevent "power build-up" ? Like many small man-made earthquakes spread over a decade instead of a big natural one. It's how it&#

I'm dreaming here, but could we with "unlimited" power radiate this power into space ? I'm thinking about a heat pump which would make the Earth colder, and radiate the heat to space, effectively cooling Earth (that&#x27

Coming from Europe, I've never seen an AC unit expressed in BTU/hour. To me it seems much more logical to express it in kW. The only "strange" (but correct) notation was on a french train, the AC was expressed in kcal&#x

I know two datacenters in switzerland that instead go "the cheap way". For them, if a drive lasts 4 years instead of 8, it doesn't really matter, as in 4 years, drives will de better and consume less. Your redundancy must be

I eat Quorn on a weekly basis (my family except me is vegetarian). Frankly it's not so bad. I find it reasonably good actually. So yeah, it's "processed", but if it can make a subset of vegetarians eat healthier (some do

What I'm going to say is not at all against your girlfriend, but I find amazing that you could buy pantyhoses for 1$ that are single use. The amount of waste must be staggering.

When a website offers you a quote about water fountains/new printers/whatever, I doub't it's legal to say that you're company X and that you'd be interested in this particular quote.

If that is so, so what ?

I suppose it to have a "total number of installs" statistic.

Why not ? Some people just don't care, and these who don't care don't care to check the option. So to me it's more logical (in order to have more data) to check the box by default.
