> because advertising is a huge deal for the health of the internet, despite its vilification [citation needed] I am of the opinion that internet would be a much saner place if advertisement was purely and simply banned.

If you suppose a well-designed grid, I really doubt that free electricity is something that clients would refuse. Electricity is valuable, at any time of the day. There is no reason for it to go below zero. Sure, storing energy is hard but

tl;dr: the Australian grid is working on a faulty system because of politics. This is not a technical limitation there.

Ironically, the person credited for that was a Belgian who felt he was bullied by British into giving up the analysis to them. It is contempt all the way up. "[Pattyn] claimed that we needed a few more days to ready it for transport,&q

In France, the prescription is valid in any pharmacy and the pharmacy seller (who has a degree in pharmacology) can and often do propose the generic version of the prescribed drug. There has been some marketing to present generics as cheap

The Swiss system is soooo interesting in many respects. Most citizens are army reserve and regularly go for training. Many own a war weapon at home (that is strictly forbidden to take out without orders) They also have underground air bases

Students loans are a pretty American thing. Not all engineers come from US. Many of us can afford to have opinions.

Well, that's what you get when you attract idealist people by pretending your motto is "Don't be evil". They keep the company accountable for their promise.

Journalists and humanitarian organizations do have revenues. I doubt a mil contractor would add Russia and China but not embargoed places like Iran. And yes, I think this is a misguided attempt at security. Companies that handled crucial da

After activating JS I could see the discussion, sorry. Going a bit deeper, it seems to be a specific demand by a potential client. Can make sense for activists, journalists, humanitarians. Makes sense for gitlab to push back too though.

Anti-boycott regulations are highly hypocritical because indeed, they are designed for Israel but pretend to apply to all countries. Thing is, even if it is just country of residence, it is still a discrimination on hiring and could very we

I work in tech and any company with a website calls itself a tech company. Saying you are a physics company as soon as you use advanced materials does not seem that far-fetched from where I stand. And the criterion of "these companies

To be honest, ROS came in to offer a good balance between modularity, freedom of design and standardization. What it tries to do is not rocket science: make different package communicate using a pre-agreed packet format, and can be done in

Well first, it is not a camp. No one is putting no one in prison there. Second, a company will want to abide by the laws of the countries it operates in. Having an employee somewhere may, nowadays, count as "operating in" that cou

To play against alphastar, you have to opt-in. IIRC it states Alphastar will hide itself. One of the things people noticed in replays was the lack of control groups and in the case of zergs, the ability to select larvas directly, which no p
