Their new law requires parking lots with more than 80 spaces to have solar panels. Great idea, where I live I'm pretty much maxing out the percentage of permitted structures allowed by zoning. I could imagine that if solar panel carpor

Everybody makes mistakes. The US is able to mention its past mistakes. China still can't talk about students it murdered over 30 years ago. Yet, recent American presidents have no problem admitting that Afghanistan and Iraq wars weren&

Yeah, moar burglars aren't the kind who spend 10000 hours honing their skills. People with that kind of dedication can often find gainful employment :)

And if you try to put bars in the window; you'll have a really bad day if your house catches fire! Same with a moad full of piranhas, it's not fun to fall in by accident :) Best and cheapest option is a dog, or simply giving up.

It's very likely that for luxury items the price is what people are willing to pay. And it's adjusted for each country accordingly. Thus, the change may simply be that profit margin for sales into the US drops (or rather than it s

I bought some for my nephews (age 3-4), it's a lot of fun, because it's instant physical feedback. Also if you buy a pack of BPA-free paper rolls, you get a crazy amount of pictures for $20. Granted you'll have to re-roll the

I've heard of farmers doing this, well I think they actually had an inverter. But limits on how much they could dump into the grid, meant that they had lots of surplus electricity and installing resistive heating was very cheap. Even i

We did 12.000 km in our id.4 last year. I suspect it'll die due to rust. But yes, might take a while. Even in Denmark where we salt the roads in a winter.

The US has had many opportunities to care a lot less! Just look at what Russia is up to these days.

Even more reason to let people report such issues. If you don't collect data, you can't brag about it.

I can totally see how this is attractive. But I personally find SQL and triggers/stored procedures to have: - Horrible syntax - Poor LSP support and poor auto complete - poor debugging experiences, error reporting, etc. I kind of wis

There are plenty of laptops and phones in airplanes today. What makes you think the risk will increase in the future?

You can't say the threat isn't there. I personally think it's about time we get a nuclear program in Denmark. We don't need launchers, we'll just nuke whatever island anyone invades.

Not to mention physical security. Breaking into a home is relatively easy. And unless you live in the US and is willing to actually shot someone (with all the paperwork that entails, as well as physical and legal risks), the fact is that yo

Modern ventilation systems, like the one I have will recover a lot of heat, when exchanging air.

Probably commerical subs aren't a common thing with lots of regulation. Just guessing here? :)

HTML with interpolation is not a good idea. You really should want a template engine that knows if the variable it's injecting goes into a tag as text or into an attribute, etc. The problem with the webstack is that these things are ea

Don't get me wrong I think these metrics are interesting. But not useful for comparing Bolivia and Sweden. But comparing nordic countries this way makes a bit sense. Comparing emerging economies this way might also make some sense. But

Newer battery technology is cheaper, but for a battery swap you'll probably need to buy the same battery tech you already have -- which is probably why a battery swap might not be cheap.

I think it's also fair to argue that it's probably more perceived, than actual. People are obsessed with EV range, and massively concerned that used EV have degraded batteries. Most likely there are some market inefficiencies here

It also ignores quality of the goods. But more importantly, it ignores what you can do with the extra hours you work.. same as with PPP it ignores that an iPhone isn't cheaper (it may not be a basic necessity), but many globally traded

Or a ventilation system I'm guess? Where I live all new houses are pressure tested and have a ventilation system, replacing all air once every 1-2 hours or something (I think).

Well, presumably electricity prices are relatively low when curtailment happens, and high when there is no curtailment. So maybe storage can make some sense. But before you go expand the grid or add batteries, it's probably fine to ove

It's also awesome how the tax prep companies can advertise the cost as nothing, because you'll make it up in your refund. And they'll happily let you pay for their service using the refund. So much fun :)

Paying to file taxes, and then getting you tax refund as an Amazon gift card -- that's very American :)

Whenever I look at rooftop solar (Denmark) 2/3 of the cost is easily installation. Add to that the risk that I'll have to replace the roof early. Rooftop seems expensive, if not done as part of a roof replacement. And even then it
