Perhaps a bit difficult to implement. Why not let these cars be checked with an exhaust test every year? That is common in NL and DE at least.

Depends on where the 'opposite approach' is aimed to end. If the result is a totally new creative workflow then what is the point of carrying all the ballast of a legacy tool?

Interesting, this results in a fully functional desktop version? I have a M2 and the hardware is great, but the OS that came with it not so. If I could replace the OS with Ubuntu that would be great. (Windows would also be great, but I have

Yes, before installing read that UTM uses Qemu and did not pursue it any further. AFAIK only Mac runs on apple silicon, everything else is emulated.

Dutch tiled sidewalks are different from what I have seen in China. They embed thick tiles, hardened bricks nowadays, in sand. Chinese make concrete sidewalks topped with thinner tiles. Nice when it rains some tiles work like mud pumps spra

I think you should have done one cruise (at least) in your live to earn the right to have an opinion. I did, and would like to vote to ban all cruise ships. It is a totally unnecessary form of travel. It is not travel. I don't know wha

A cruise ship is just the mirror to remind us, we are all locusts.

In the video the CTO is stacking up the pros, like it is safer to handle and the Russians. Usually when that happens, there is a catch. Nevertheless, I think we are way beyond to compare on price like this and should include the footprint i

I don't accuse them of living on gov handouts - I am just pointing to that fact to set the correct expectations. This funding is particularly necessary as the research is too fundamental for commercial parties.

It is not Peltier. But seems like solid hardware indeed. The efficiency of heatpump is 1.0 thermodynamics. Ie yes there is a transition in fluid / gas, but the efficiency is not because there is a split. Monobloc heatpumps are common,

This topic feels to me like a moonshot attempt [0]. Institutions like this, live on the EU handouts [1] (in fact I applied with my company together with Fraunhofer a few years back on a EU subsidy). Meaning, the fact it is subject of invest

The CO2 heatpump needs more than 150 bar, like having a small OceanGate in your attic.

Yes, it is an interesting move of the EU [0]. The manufacturers of heatpumps are already lining up alternatives: mostly Propane (R290) but also CO2 (R744). How does that align with the billions being invested in Hydrogen, a gas with a GWP o

I have seen the demo to be empowering for the team towards the company. It would be a waste to let all the developments just silently CICD into production.

There is a very small part in the Netherlands where that is not the case, called 'Heuvelland' (Hill land). It even has a 'Bergdorp' (mountain village). DAF, a truck factory, does their testing there, and I even met a pro

> Two of the coastguard sources told the Guardian they believed towing was a likely reason for the boat capsizing. This would not be without precedent. In 2014, an attempt to tow a refugee boat off the coast of Farmakonisi cost 11 lives

Interesting thought. In a desert it might be an issue, but normally a desert cools down at night a lot, if not then is that because of the humidity? If there is a high humidity, then evap will fall short.

There are air to water heatpumps. Usually for heating, but many also support cooling. And water can be buffered, that's common practice with heatpump heating anyway. Perhaps also use a buffering style deployment like floor heating, the

That is gas absorption cooling. Will work with the sun on, but then, why not stick to solar panels.

by j-a-a-p 3y ago
In the Netherlands there are several day ahead pricing providers for consumers. Quite popular also, but these days perhaps a bit less for solar panel owners. I also used that until a year ago, because on a sunny day I harvest about 150 kWh

Sorry, had a bit of time left today. Its more like 7 dudes, and their whole proposition is underwhelming TBH. Mostly gratuite statements against the ruling order. Half their website is a rant against the 'capitalist' competition.

I indeed do not know Plausible and any of their motivations. Google Analytics also does not provide PII to their end users per se. But I have seen many tools and solutions do just about anything to circumvent that. Merging analytics with tr

But then you still do the same thing, but you host it yourself. Meaning: it is installed and left running for years without updates and monitoring. I then rather have Google handle things.

by j-a-a-p 3y ago
Yes - it is more or less the same. In the EU they have to provide the data to the local authorities as well. Using any analytics, hosted in US, in the EU or hosting it myself, will involve moving and storing PII. To be clear, I agree we s
