The wolf is already at work. Just go hiking in the Alps and look at the extend of the glaciers, take a look at the raining/snowing patterns over the past 50 years, everwhere you look you can see the effects. You can call it what you wa

Thank you for your comment. We have 1000's of books in our house. We read a lot and I would have not imagined a second that my comment could be interpreted this way. So, yes, drop the specific book and enjoy another one is my advice.

In Germany, the richest 10% of the population is producing 50% of the CO2. At the world level, the richest 1% is producing double of the poorest 50%. We should not talk about the increase coming from other countries, we should already start

You have a middle ground which is a normal SQL database and a specific indexing engine tailored to your business case. We do that for Cheméo, we use SQLite (or if the customer want PostgreSQL) as data store and query engine where it fits bu

Your argument is a logical fallacy. You should not have knife at home, because you could kill somebody with one. <-> We should allow full privacy on crypto, because the government could kill cash.

The government has to balance stuff. Cash can and is used to buy/sell on the black market and also to buy/sell privately without leaving traces. But it is very difficult to move large amounts of money with cash. It means, it provi

If you read my comment, I explicitly said that we should keep cash.

It is interesting that I have strictly no empathy for the people defending "privacy" in crypto. I have it fully for the ability to pay in cash for our every day stuff. Privacy in crypto is basically reallowing tax havens in the &

We have a Vitamix at home, in use every morning. After nearly 7 years, the blade block started to leak. They sent a new one. It was very interesting to see how they improved the design of the block in between. As I said somewhere else, firs

It costs more, because you need a bigger bursty supply behind, bigger hardware, etc. You have "some" economy of scale but not fully. This is why for example, you have many charging stations who are now coupled with batteries, to b

For the calculations: A semi (33T, 25T of load) is consuming 35l/100km. In the given calculations, it is consuming 47l/100km (35% more than the reality). The efficiency of the truck is given as 2kWh/mile, which means 125kWh&#

I suppose it was a "left over" from my time in France where the price was just above 10ct/kWh.

by Loic 4y ago
In Germany, my rule of thumb was that a constant 1W load is 1€/year. This year, I had to update it, it is now more something like 3€/year. The increase is so important I am still not sure if my calculations are right! 1W x 24

Not only for nordic skiing. In the Alps, for touring and slopes, the conditions are also very volatile. You have these heat waves in the middle of the winter which are making the snowpack very unstable. One day the conditions are good, the

At least in France, a series of antibiotics are not allowed to be used/sold outside of hospitals. This is to ensure that hospitals have some last resort antibiotics in hard cases. But even with that, they have issues. In Germany, whe

Doctor Fortran is the lighthouse of the Fortran community. I code in Fortran every day. If I have an obscure problem, the probability that the answer is coming from one of his forum posts is nearly 100%.

Just eat balanced (omnivore, vegan, vegetarian, all can be balanced and all can be full of junk food) and if you have a smart watch, look at the calories you burnt in the day. Try not to eat more than what you burn. Be sure to have at least
