One of the problems with renewables is that they require extensive (aka costly) maintenance before they've actually offset their own construction cost. I read an article a few years back where one of the examples was that most wind pow

First off: Ich mag deinen Nutzernamen. Second: I agree with your point that most of the userbase is most likely not running some weird addons that are hooked into the internals of FF via the old API. I actually suspect a rather significant

I assume AMD is making these moves to get their products back out there where consumers read their name even when (web-)stores predominantly stock Intel products (I think it's called "mindshare"). I also hope this is the star

Do ads make your CPU run at 100% load? Most likely not. Yet mining scripts will do just that.

Does running ads multiply your electricity costs (run your battery dry) and/or burn up your CPU? No. Does cryptocurrency mining do that? Yes. Do you see the difference now?

My guess would be that Go's GC (which is supposedly pretty good) takes care of space but pushes up time and CPU usage anyway.

This enters the realm of politics where everything is up in the air. (Peer-reviewed) Science is pretty much considered fact. The only crowds this will benefit are as said above climate-change deniers (because they fear for their profits fro

I suspect France has a similar system whereby the gov has essentially a tax for financing/subsidizing the film industry and that's what they're talking about. Btw: in GER it's ~17.50€ per month per household and the &quo
