3MW is the peak power when the wind is blowing constantly at the maximum speed the wind turbine was designed to operate (and not over, at which point the turbine enters safe mode and stops to prevent damage). Load factors for wind turbines

This article fails to make the distinction between battery capacity (in MWh) and battery power in MW. That's very bad. It's a bit like mistaking miles for miles per hour. Though in that case it's megawatt times hour.

Did you try using https://priceur.com ? It simplifies stripe account migration (and also multi currency pricing). It's free for now. Enjoy! Disclaimer: I built it.

If you're so obsessed about build quality, why don't you buy Apple? You are basically asking for premium quality from cheap brands. Not going to work unless you get lucky, which (spoiler) did happen to you in the end.

Great idea! Does it work with yen and other currencies that don't have decimals?

I see what you mean. It's "temporal information density" then. Also called bandwidth :D

> resulting in lower information density as you get towards the inner grooves It's actually the opposite: highest information density (musical notes played per surface unit) is in the innermost grooves. Since linear velocity is lowe

AND you can use Zepto (7KB) instead of JQuery. I wouldn't call Intercooler heavy, au contraire.

Reading this article, it seems that terahertz is only suited for space-based telecommunication. Given its super high transfer rate, it would be perfect for a low orbit, internet-providing satellite constellation. cough starlink cough

This is not correct. A barrel of oil is 118kg of pure carbon but when burning this translate to roughly 450kg of CO2 (because carbon combines with heavier oxygen to form CO2) This is without taking into account the CO2 that is emitted to ex

It is subject to mechanical constraints AKA laws of physics. Acceleration is limited by the grip on the ground under its feet. It could slowly accelerate to amazing speeds though.

It now supports real time web hooks. Gosh I sound like a Zapier salesman :)

by joss82 9y ago
Zapier conveniently replaces web hooks and adds some mapping between fields. Try it out, they have a connector (Zapier calls this an Action)for airtable that works great. Edit: direct link: https://Zapier.com
