That's mostly for heating, though. Heat pumps are being increasingly used in new homes but nearly all homes older than 10 years are using gas or oil furnaces. Electricity prices are also very high, amongst the highest in the world, so

And in the event of an attack you just hope they won't target nuclear power plants to recreate Chernobyl and Fukushima?

This looks like a typical startup disruption approach where they wanted to build the hardware from the ground up and didn't ask industry experts why something is done the way it is.

At least in Germany a lot of research isn't being done at universities but at dedicated research institutes. Quite a few PhD students are working part time at uni and part time at one of the Fraunhofer Institutes or at Forschungszentru

Weirdly enough, the Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI), Germany's cyber security authority, is actually very good and has very competent security experts. I bet the officials never consulted them about Luca.

There are no sources for the numbers other than another crypto blog. This other blog then uses "Negligible" as a unit.

No because I cannot reproduce it. It just happened randomly in the past. As I don't like getting bug reports that boil down to "doesn't work", I don't create them myself.

You don't deserve the downvotes. We are using mainly Firefox at work and sometimes, not often but sometimes, Firefox refuses to load the current file in the debugger. The only solution is to restart Firefox. I get why some are annoyed

Quite a lot of ebike accidents involve only one party. The relatively high speeds mixed with ice, wet leaves, going up and down the sidewalk, turning way too fast, etc. make ebikes quite dangerous. All those are also typical bike accidents.

I don't see how you are contradicting me? That's exactly what I said. The dealer doesn't matter here, it's just about the manufacturer.

The UK does not formally restrict exports but it didn't export a single dose to the EU despite AZ telling the EU that they would. This lead to the export controls the EU put in place where the EU can forbid exports into countries that

The EU could've issued an export ban for Covid vaccines like the US and UK did but did not want to. There would have been 34 million more doses available until the end of March if they had done it. But even in these times, the EU rathe

Thousands of dollars are only possible with luxury cars. VW, one of the two largest auto makers, makes around 300€ profit per vehicle sale (excluding luxury brands). For some models it's even less than 100€. You can calculate around 1%

Tech is very special in a way where they can get away with claiming that quite a lot is not possible at their scale. Imagine this for other industries. "We cannot do quality control before sending products out. We make too much stuff.&

But the pre-installed Safari is okay? All browsers on iOS are just Safari skins, so why isn't iOS as a whole rated 17+? All those web filters for adult content don't work. You might not be able to access pornhub but there are mill

People are somehow downvoting this but it's a fact that my attic is a lot cooler for longer after solar was installed despite much hotter summers. The solar panels are shading my roof and the main thing heating it is the hot air. Tesla

I have solar on my roof and I'm actually glad it's bolted on instead of integrated into the roof itself. In the summer the heat from direct sunlight doesn't hit the roof and gets absorbed by the panels instead. This way my ac

Taxing alcohol is not straight forward because everybody can make it at home with everyday items. Raise taxes too much and people will start their own basement distilleries which will then send methanol poisoning cases through the roof. Bre

I have zero faith in a system that relies on giving keys to the layman without backups. People already lose their phsical keys all the time. Digital keys will get lost a lot more often and you will end up with lost patient records. You will

Keeping proposals and design documents private is essentially the same as making a project "source available". It prevents people from participating in the extension of functionality and limits them to being bug fixers. What Micro
