In Germany almost every shop is closed on Sundays, with a similar idea behind it. Only the most necessary jobs are done (firefighters and hospital workers) and there is free time for everyone to relax. Now just to tone down the electricity

I'd be interested in mapping solutions for python. What is your preferred workflow, HN?

You'd think so, but a little googling shows me that an optimistic estimate is that 1-2% of US Americans that go hungry once in a while because they cannot afford food. Some sources, such as those cited by wikipedia [0], put the number

I like that manual transmission cars can actually be started without any battery power (by getting them up to speed by pushing or downhill). I need that option far more often than I would like in my life.

German traffic law also says you're right (StVO §7(4)). Does the US not have a law for that?

Just a FYI, literally every meter you get away from the street helps immensely with your exposure, from what we see in the data. Heavy traffic and stop-and-go at traffic lights are the worst (no surprise), avoid those if possible.

Do these services take landline numbers as well?

Some of them read Hacker News.. if your problem makes it to the frontpage you might be in luck. But again, this is really not the way this should work.

Since 2001 (at least) the law enforcement is supposed to have access to library records. The legal basis keeps changing, though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriot_Act

This article could be considerably longer, I agree. As such, it is merely an interesting introduction.

The satellite control rooms do indeed not have natural light. But all the people working there have another office with natural light they can use when their presence is not required in the control room (which is most of the time).

It depends on where you are, I'd say. If you live in a water-rich area, water itself should be fine to use. The question is how much energy goes into heating and cleaning it afterwards though. If you live in a water-poor area, it'

You can also check whether your area has carsharing. I have access to lots of standard cars of different sizes (some hybrids too), a convertible, an upper-standard BMW and a couple of vans all within walking distance.

Well that and then, in some places, you can literally get stuck between houses with the larger ones.

Maybe there would be a chance these experts would answer an email, some of them at least.. the problem would be, of course, to identify them.

A big difference is probably that now everyone carries a video camera around and we have videos of things like this which go viral more easily.

There must be some sort of machine out there than you can rent in sufficient numbers and load the day before.. and maybe make the guests get it themselves (the breakfast will most probably be a buffet anyway since any other setup would be i

The local US army bases in Germany actually chlorinate their perfectly fine tap water. What a waste! But it is probably the perception of unchlorinated water as not safe, and you will probably have a similar problem in the US itself if you

Overbuilding renewable capacity can significantly reduce the needed storage capacity, so the issue will probably get more pronounced rather than better with time.

To reverse the process we can then run an osmosis power plant and have a way to store energy. I'm sure someone out there already ran the numbers.

Maybe GP is talking about the energy balance? If the energy comes from fossil fuels that can be a big factor.

The questions remains, probably, what it means for a book to be 'read'. I'd posit that that books are only valuable in your possession if you know it - this specific book - exists, maybe even where exactly in your house if yo

Hm, that was supposed to be the total count, not for single speakers. Checking for myself my information seems to have been wrong. As we say here, I take everything back and claim the opposite.. That will teach me not to check my facts I ho

I have the impression that basic German is quite technical. You can be poetic, even very poetic, but it is not easy. You can, however, easily describe the relation of one thing to another in detail. English has about 3 times the vocabulary
