Wait, how are these numbers for Germany and France relevant? Germany's renewable energy was built in recent years, much of it during a time when it was significantly more expensive than now. Frances price is from mostly very old nuclea

A gallon of gasoline is around 33kWh of energy. 33.41kWh*20/1min = 40MW Diesel might be closer to 50MW? But regardless, it's not 33kWh per gallon of energy to the wheels. Most of the energy is wasted. So of course a battery electr

The feature could be a workaround for a bug. That is, one of their internal services didn't handle being blocked well, and instead of fixing that service they just added that feature as a temporary workaround to make sure the new firew

Maybe another explanation is that they quickly hacked around the lack of these services just to get things working again? I can imagine them quickly making a bunch of ill-advised code changes just to get their platform working.

Yeah, this is basically exactly what Nintendo is doing. I guess for PC and larger consoles you could use larger memory cards that might be cheaper to make. But anyway, it's still a problematic approach since it eats into the margins un

The paper/presentation you link to is comparing 32-bit ARM with Thumb and RISC-V. This is mostly relevant to embedded processors, and my understanding is ARM and RISC-V is somewhat equal there. But for 64-bit, ARM has dropped support f
