Not having that canary may LITERALLY kill some of their users. If they have some decency they should own up to the truth and if they end up being out of business they will have a lot of goodwill for their next business.

Both the cars and the grid need to be de-fossilised. You can't just do one or the other. ICE cars can never be clean, EVs have the potential and when grid catches up they will be cleaner and the benefits from cleaner grid will increase

So if I were Thiel, I'd totally have the company buy gold, then offer my NZ dungeon for safe storage (for a hefty fee, of course) and then whatever the event the dungeon was built for happens .. I guess there's noone there to coll

NextDNS works really nicely on OS/Apps. Also blocks ad/tracking content in iOS. It's actually quite easy to roll this yourself, which I intend to: wireguard+pihole.

AFAICT the photo service is a convenience feature for the user itself. When I use the ID-card desktop utility or the national web service it offers to show me my own photo. It may be used by govt agencies internally (and obv for issuing it)

I live in a cool place. This winter we had extended periods of -20C. Heat pump efficiency drops, but still stays above 2. SCOP (for year round average for heating coefficient of performance) units sold now are better than 5. Also, if you ar

Now to make things interesting, want to adjust this for per capita bike ownership or usage? Otherwise this is could just be picking places favorable to the point you want to make?

Big price difference comes from installation of ground loop. They either dig up your back yard and install a horizontal loop or you can have a vertical borehole (you probably need several of those). Boreholes here in NE-EU are about 35EUR p

But who would put it into context how much faster it needs to happen? The quickest numbers I found are that total renewables energy production is about 7000TWh/year. Whereas global primary energy consumption is 160,000TWh/year. So

Passivhaus. Rust (performance == energy efficiency). EV conversions (hybrid drivetrain to replace an ICE). Electromobility in a wider sense. Heat pumps (not so much under the radar anymore tho).

Well electricity takes the lowest resistance path (read shortest). I have solar panels and my neighbor uses electricity to heat their home. So my solar panels heat their house, but the DSO gets to charge the neighbor as much as if the elect

I don't understand what you are saying. There are air to water heat pumps as well as ground source heat pumps. Both have typically tanks.

Also water heater using a heat pump is 200-500% efficient.

There’s like a daily flamewar on avherald. They even have a faq entry for this: Q: Why do you use "wrong" abbreviations (e.g. for New South Wales)? We use the original ISO 3166 standard (two letter code) to remain compatible with

Also, I had two of my friends on facebook who could not use their actual first name of Peep. Like for years they had to use Pepe or Pep. For facebook it was too daring I guess.

I hope you have read the sequels. The Dark Forest is I believe the most mind-expanding of them and Deaths End goes pretty wild but is still very interesting. I had the luxury of finding out about the problematic CCP leanings after finishing

Yes indeed, inverter based generators (solar and batteries) don't have any inertia. But as long as the grid is still AC the frequency will be the same and the inverters would need to compensate internally. Especially with solar where a

The grid frequency is a measure of energy balance in the grid. So anyone can measure anywhere in the frequency domain whether there is a surplus or deficit of generation. This is due to the fact that the grid itself can't store any ene
