It’s actually not that good. I lived in Oslo for a year and the main problem is that service stops at around midnight so you either have to walk or take a taxi which is incredibly expensive. Luckily, the city isn’t that large so walking wor

Yes, and two EPRs up and running in Taishan, China, that were started after the two you mentioned.
543.
by cbmuser 6y ago
You should also add that China started to build two EPRs after France and Finnland and they are both already operating commercially.

Bailing out big corporations is an exception, not the norm and it normally results in the government taking up ownership of the corporation. In Germany, the Hypovereinsbank which got bailed out became state-owned.

Socialism didn’t work in _any_ country ever tried. Even in East Germany, the country’s economists admitted in 1989 that the free market works far better and the centralized economy results in wrong allocations of resources and money. Google

History has shown that even workers can become wealthy in a capitalist country while they will stay poor in socialist countries. Just compare the history of West and East Germany. There is a reason why East Germany and all other socialist c

Exactly. Zoning and rent control laws like they were recently introduced in Berlin, Germany. The number of available apartments on the market has declined ever since that law was introduced.

Currently, QEMU fully emulates a Macintosh Quadra 800 and partially a NextCube. The latest addition to QEMU for M68k presented in this talk - which has not been upstreamed yet - is a new pure virtual machine type based on Google Goldfish, o

Gluing something in instead of using screws is just faster and cheaper to manufacture. And if it's a product like a phone that 90% of the customers will replace with a new one in just a few years, the large majority of customers actual

I don’t buy that. Japanese is completely different, too, but I learned most of it while in Japan where I was forced to speak it. Finish kids don’t need ten years to learn the language either, do they?

by cbmuser 6y ago
As an avid language learner, I can confirm this. I always make most progress when I’m forced to use the language when I’m in the country. I’m surprised OP isn’t fluent with the language after 10 years in the country.

If the librsvg package in Debian i386 crashes with SIGILL on a Pentium II or Pentium III, it’s a baseline violation and should be reported as a bug against src:librsvg with severity serious. What you describe here is a Debian Policy violati

Arch doesn’t have to support multiple architectures and releases. Also, Arch usually puts all files into a single binary package while Debian splits arch-dependent and arch-independent files into separate packages. Also, Debian separates pa

Statically linked means that a vulnerability in one of the libraries means that all statically linked binaries using the library will have to be patched. In case of shared libraries, only the affected library package has to be patched.

China and Russia building large nuclear on time and budget proove you wrong.
559.
by cbmuser 6y ago
You won’t get an answer to that. Large scale electricity storage other than hydro power doesn’t exist and is extremely unlikely to materialize anytime in the near future. Some advocates of renewables argue that “Power2Gas” is an option but

by cbmuser 6y ago
Indeed, it is. Good that we agree on that ;-).
561.
by cbmuser 6y ago
Exactly. We have been shutting down nuclear power plants the past 10 years instead of fossile plants. In fact, we’re building 16 new gas-fired and 2 new coal-fired plants.
562.
by cbmuser 6y ago
Exactly. Hydro will work only if you have a large amount of lakes and mountains per capita which is true for countries like Austria and Norway.
563.
by cbmuser 6y ago
That’s not an argument. Germany’s industry doesn’t exclusively consist of Volkswagen. No country has solved large scale energy storage that would be needed for storing electric energy in the range of TWh. None.

They have been “kuckstarting” renewables in Germany for the past 20 years and we invested 500 billion Euros. How long do you want to continue kickstarting? Until 2150?

You will never get the market prices from the electricity exchange. In particular, those prices aren’t stable and are often negative or soar up to 4000 Euros per MWh in Germany. Please, for the sake of an honest discussion, look at the actu

Yes, it does. Come to Germany, we have lots of solar power and the highest electricity prices worldwide.

I‘m not sure why you are being downvoted but you are 100% correct as I have explained in detail in my top comment.

These comparisions solely account for the production costs and not for the system costs of solar energy and are therefore completely useless. Solar panels will always require a backup power plant as the Sun isn’t shining 24/7 and sto

No ship sails forever. And given the amount of energy you get per kilogramm, nothing beats nuclear which is why the waste stream for anything that is nuclear-powered is extremely small. I‘m also pretty sure that even a sail ship will have
