The biggest problem is that no system can withstand such huge alternations in amounts of generated power. Solar and wind energy isn't available 24/7 and generation can't be rapidly changed to compensate for changes in consump

This is wishful thinking. Solar, wind and batteries has tons of unsolved problems. And I have serious doubts they will be solved in the next 15-20 years. I hear news about new "revolutionary" batteries every months for at least 20

Please, show me unbiased ("true") news. In my opinion, such a thing is like perpetuum mobile, in other words, it can't exist.

Yes, IBM still sells IBM/Rational ClearCase which has impressive cost (about $5000 per license) and has about 5% features of Git, also absolutely bozotic UI. What surprises me, some companies still use it in 2017 and still pay $5000 to

Having grown up in one of these myself, never had a problem with utilities. Some problems with heating - yes. I don't remember piss smell - I remember smell of concrete and fresh paint, but never smell of piss. I guess it depends on wh

Hitler needed war to solve economical problems. He was desperate for money and resources. All wars has strong economical reasons. For Russia there's no economical reasons to invade Sweden or Baltic states or Kazakhstan. This even sound

Are you sure you really know that Putin wants to revive USSR? Did he personally announced this goal? Or you're quoting CNN or some other media? This is typical political fearmongering. There're many reasons to create a fear-induci

As Russian I don't agree. I don't watch TV and read news (other than HN and a couple of other sites where I try to avoid politics as much as I can), but why the hell do we need these Baltic states? What do they have that Russia ne

Why would Russia want to invade Sweden? This is political fearmongering and bullshit.

I've noticed that when you blame people for something (eating meat, for example), they're not going to listen, it's causing opposite reaction - to defend and continue doing the same thing. So, maybe it's possible to pers

I'm a vegetarian myself, although for another reason: I don't want living beings to be tortured and killed for my food. But I find is that vegetarian propaganda is many times so disgusting and based on lies that it's probably

You're probably access web sites sitting at home or office, where you have decent 10+ Mbps channel. All this changes when you travel and you use either slow public WiFi or phone tethering. Yes, there's 4G, but in most places in mo

I'll add my two cents: when driving motorcycle with GPS assistance, I can't concentrate on the driving and get fun from the driving motorcycle. When I'm driving my bike, I prefer to clear my head of all things and concentrate

Oh, now it's Iran that is responsible for Iraq war. How convenient. Maybe US should start bombing Iran now, too? I'm really afraid at how easily it has become to find any pretext to bomb and destroy any country by the US. All of c

Why would they want to start a war in their own country? US start wars very far from its own borders. It's highly profitable and only small number of lives of US citizens are in danger. But for US situation with NK and SK is already go

It's too simple view to be true. For one thing, Kim Jong-un understands that if he's not in control, he and his family members are dead. Of course, they want to maintain wealth and control, just like everyone else. But they also d

I doubt this is a main reason. Main reason is that they don't have valuable natural resources that can be exploited, they have not so important strategic location. Investment in "liberation" of NK will hardly be as beneficial

You can use offline GPS navigation software on a plane. I did it several times, just as my friends. I use LG G3 and OsmAnd app. LG G3 has very poor GPS antenna so you have to press the phone against the plane window and wait for 4-5 minutes
