macOS apps are also sandboxed but that wasn't deemed safe enough when discussing iOS apps.

You’re right. Apple should also start vetting every website we go to in order to ensure this kind of security when we browser the web too. Unless the website pays Apple a yearly fee and a 30% cut it shouldn’t be allowed to sideload itself i

I don’t know that I disagreed with you. Yes it might be close to their heating value but it’s fundamentally measuring something different.

I don’t disagree with you about furnace efficiency. But my point still stands: You needed 18MWh of oil or 15MWh of heating. Neither of those numbers are how much electricity you will need to run a heat pump.

They are not the same though. This leads to issues with prominent people, see Vaclav Smil, making the case that it'll be too difficult to transition from fossil fuels because they conflate these two things. Some do it out of ignorance,

It's great to see that at least one manufacturer is still willing to release a camera that isn't either a "generic modern" camera or an "film styling but with digital" camera. I love the idea of a smaller body

Though hath sinned against the 2nd law of thermodynamics! 1,000 gallons of heating oil have ~41 MWh of chemical potential energy (if using the HHV). Those 41 MWh are not directly comparable to 7MWh of electricity. While the units (MWh) are

I'm sure you can understand the difference of degree between something that is lethal in minutes and a gas (ammonia) and something that takes much higher and longer exposures to be deadly, plus is a liquid (gasoline).

Ammonia as a fuel is an absurdly stupid idea. It is trading the lives and safety of crews and passengers for a bit of money.

Another protectionist measure to help the laggards in the us auto industry. Will they be condemned to serve just the US market while the Chinese firms eat the rest of South America, Africa, Asia, and Europe?
