I can't give you those specific numbers but since around 20% of power production is covered by onshore wind right now, it's fair to say that costs aren't prohibitive. Costs for new installations have been dropping over the la

It should be noted that it could be said that both death counts are "official". They are just assembled via different means. The undercount in the Covid-specific statistics is both well-known and officially acknowledged. It is the

It's only/mostly small-town newspapers that do this. It's an ideological statement that's cheap for them to make because The Buttherd Dispatch doesn't have enough readers in the EU for it to matter financially.

It means nothing for you. There is no legal risk whatsoever. Not in the US, and neither in Europe or Austria if you were to travel there. For GDPR to apply, your website needs some connection to an EU country beyond just being on the intern

They called three different experts and incorporated their answers. I don't remember any instance of, say, some blogger actually calling someone. The tactic seems to be completely unknown outside of traditional media. So, yeah, it&#x27

“Europeans” is doing a lot of work in that sentence… Subjectively, criticism of Israel seems to be more widespread in the US and Britain than Germany? I don’t doubt the continuing existence here in Germany (and called it the “seedy underbel

I doubt these dare-I-say-conspiracy theories. Among other reasons, just consider that media suffered as much, financially, from monster.com and eBay, which devastated classifieds. For many local papers, that was the single largest change in

Facebook tends towards people you know in real life, so it’d be closer to the echo chamber that is your immediate social circle, but possibly a bit more open because it doesn’t concentrate your attention as much as you probably do offline,

Your justification is fully compatible with the observed phenomenon as described. The comment didn’t criticize Israel, although the possible criticism so obviously follows from the description that your mind added it all by itself. That, in

Yeah, no, this is bullshit. People don’t just have agencies (Mossad, CIA), they also have agency as in: the power to change reality. And the vast majority of democratic countries are run by people who have a decent appreciation of the

It’s a local copy of England retained for emergencies: The people of Hamburg are seafaring, somewhat arrogant (but not without cause), used to bad weather, proud of the Beatles, envious of Berlin, and really wrong about libel law.

Nobody "blindly" supports democracy. It happens to be a system with an obvious mechanism for continuous improvement or at least self-correction. It's also empirically quite successful at avoiding war and fostering prosperity

The protests in Germany regularly include all sorts of other conspiracy subcommunities, including the seedy underbelly of it all, anti-semitism, but also 9/11 truthers and weird esoteric believes. Anyone really into astral healing five

Stupid performance art is, tautologically, stupidity. So I guess it depends? Flat earth isn't especially harmful, except in undermining trust in science, institutions, and your fellow citizen with absolutely no discernible purpose. The

If you mean some government should fund arXiv, specifically, then I don't disagree but would guess the government's default position of "it exists without public money, and we think that's rather excellent". If you&

People are extremely bad at making decisions involving small probabilities. Plus, of course, the same people tend not to believe the data on deaths. There are even stories of people using their last breaths to again state that they do not

The payment wasn't an argument that money is the only valid objective in decision-making. OP used it to illustrate that these believes are weakly held, "virtue signaling" for a crowd with different virtues, so to speak. I bel

I once created a dataset of X-hooked-up-with-Y for my circle of friends. About 50 nodes and a few hundred connections (after I asked around a bit for additions). It became a wedding present for one rather central "node" with the t

It works by setting a license fee by law and making it hard enough / take long enough to change to make it impossible to punish or reward journalists for their work. This could mean requiring 2/3 majorities for anything but a defa

I don't even think anyone is interested in the POV that nothing is happening. Russia itself certainly wants to at least appear as if they are preparing for an invasion, or the whole thing makes even less sense.

The pipelines, and other trade, operated without a glitch during the later years of the cold war. It's not unrealistic for that to continue, as both parties would probably prefer. I'm also getting the sense that the reliance on Ru

I was given a Sony camera to take photos at an event recently. After two days, I noticed that the viewfinder would be dark when I turned the camera off. This was different than my usual Canon, so I wondered why. Turns out it was a mirrorles

It’s all civil law right now. It’s doubtful that criminal law would be very useful. First, because the standard of proof would make criminal charges much harder to sustain. Second, because, judging from all those emails, it’s much more of a

Heating a home with electricity is simply immoral. It's all the emissions of burning coal, multiplied by 3 due to generator and transmission losses. Besides, energy prices saw a steep rise in all of Europe, so it doesn't make much

The slower phaseout of coal is about employment and, to a lesser degree, regional "identity" issues far more than energy. The coal industry was at some point the country's largest. It's also older than all other in the i
