The current HMD models are being manufactured by Foxconn in China and there's also a wide range of Foxconn middleware running on the phones. Foxconn also has a factory in Hungary, so probably the manufacturing partner is the same for t

I think some fighter jets have the intakes on the upper side of the fuselage to enable this. Closing intake by some flaps seems like a bad idea, given that on take off you'd probably want to have all the power you can get.

There was a time-unlocked beta version of Windows Memphis (98) making circles that was shoddily rebranded as Windows 97. Of course it's likelier that the parent mistyped either 95 or 98.

I have a similar setup, though with Linux. From my experience I can recommend taking a look at restic ( https://restic.readthedocs.io/ ). It does encrypted and deduplicated snapshots to local and remote repositories. There&#x

Exposed wood in the ground doesn't last long, if it does become part of the soil the carbon will escape into the atmosphere. The branches in cold climate might take a decade to decompose, but those too will end up releasing carbon quit

Even when sawed into boards for construction, quite a big fraction of the mass is discarded during the process: the branches, the bark and the parts of the timber that is leftover geometrically in the sawmill. Then all the shaving, sanding,

Germany is the biggest economy inside the EU and they've been fairly competitive globally so far. Also they've made some pretty unique political decisions, such as the nuclear phase-out.

I think you are onto something, although we've got three :). Raising well-balanced kids, who then become well-balanced adults isn't for nothing of course, but it's way harder to measure than the raw count of babies.

This is basically what Finland does, but it doesn't seem to result into larger baby count. These are very humane policies and I'm all for them but they don't solve this particular problem.

That's an interesting idea, any source? Certainly the containment building is very heavy construction, supposed to be able to withstand a passenger jet collision. Keep in mind the design was made right after the WTC attacks.

The long term waste repository is a separate project, it is not included in the same project. The LCOE does include it however, as financing waste storage is mandated in the law. I think what makes the LCOE so low is the fact that the plant
