   Also they plan to land where there isn't any atmosphere, or an atmosphere too thin to brake significantly. So they need propulsive landing.

   Also that math is assuming a full charge every day. I doubt that would be the case Edit That would be between 400 to 500 km a day. I would be surprised delivery vans need that much

    It seems that the situation is pretty bad when cloud providers are so big they don't care about individual customers. We're all joking about how creative you and the person mentioned in the article were. It seems to have solved yo

    This is clever, the disappearing nature of the message makes it feel more urgent, so more shares and more attention in general.

    I suspect it's a typo for "wind energy"

    That's an interesting point. i just assumed that having a mix 90% methane, 10% hydrogen would reduce the carbon footprint by 10%. But what you say makes perfect sense, it all depends on how much energy we generate from the mix. Is ther

    by alex_duf 7y ago

    The title of the article is unclear, they mostly talk about increasing the mix of hydrogen with methane on the natural gas grid. This requires new ways of production but is re-entering the existing gas infrastructure for transport. Most boi

    I think China is doing more for renewable energy than any other country combined. Bar maybe India. They are building solar panel, wind turbines at a frantic pace, pushing really hard for electrification because of said pollution. Yes they a

    But does it matter that this is just an average? What I want is the big picture, moving the needle towards more renewable. I don't want all of my electrons to come from a wind turbine, just voting with my wallet such that renewable per

    I'm not a big fan of certificates but there is already enough renewable to power all eon customers. gas is 40%, wind 16.9% solar 4% biomass 6.3% [1] E-ON is about 13% [2] of the market share, just wind is enough to cover that and more

    I guess this shows my ignorance of low level computing! I used "bare metal" wrong even though Rust can do it. I wanted to point at a lower abstraction level than a typical corporate application, but higher than bare metal. Somethi

    As much as I like the language I actually don't think it's for everyone. If your program is running on the server reading from a DB and producing simple JSON (like I assume most of HN's audience), rust is probably not what yo

    I think you're mistaken. I'm just asking to add the unit to make it clearer. I won't enter into the unit war, and FWIW I'm used to centigrades.

    I don't think it's pity. There's a difference between having a petty argument about something that might cause a slight discomfort to someone, and something that will potentially exclude members of team. I don't think th
