   Ideally court transcripts would be easier to access. It's possible to get them by filling out a form and paying. The confidence would be determined by the size of the bet. As I have no information, it wouldn't be a big bet.

   I can't find the 92-page document, or a transcript of the court hearing. If he was unable to persuade a judge he wasn't wasn't aggressive and relentless, then I'd bet he was.

   You don't have to have an electric car and battery. I've just got electric heating (Air con) and a hot water cylinder. I can automatically turn the cylinder heater on at night and turn down the thermostat at peak times.

    Over the last year, my overall average rate on the agile (time of use) tariff has been about £0.19/kWh. It's significantly cheaper than on the standard tariff, which would have been somewhere between £0.28/kWh and £0.35/

    On 9 August 2019 there was a significant power cut due to lack of inertia. This duration was significantly reduced because of batteries [1]. Since then, gas turbines have been repurposed to provide inertia without generation [2]. Check out

    I wanted to try a vanilla JS version of the VanJS counter: https://jsfiddle.net/pdfzx3a9/ Have people forgotten about event delegation? Surely the number of event listeners can get excessive in some cases.

    They usually have a calculator to show you prices. Translation apps that aren't Google work to some extent. Some speak enough English to haggle, so numbers mostly, and it's not hard to learn Chinese numbers.

    There's not a lot of info about the Shenzhen SEZ Visa on arrival, but I can say that if you use the Luohu/Lo Wu port, aim to get there as they open because they don't get through many before they stop for lunch.

    I'd like to know the answer to that too. I shouldn't have implied that CPU inference on Hetzner is cheaper than GPU on AWS, when I don't have any idea on the cost of either.

    A few weeks ago, standing at an incredibly busy pedestrian crossing in Shenzhen, China, I noticed how strangely quiet it was for somewhere so busy. Then I noticed, every car, bus, and scooter was electric. I went to Taipei after, and the co
