The idea to self-host your own livestream is a great idea in theory but is unlikely to be economical in practice due to bandwidth cost. Even if you do manage to set everything properly on your own, with a CDN and all, it will become quickly

2 years hiatus of public performance would have been a non-event in the 20th century. You could just have used the time to release some new records. Yes, COVID has nothing to do with the classical music industry woes. Spotify and its terrib

Classical music and symphonic orchestras have always been expensive endeavours requiring a healthy influx of money. Before the 20th century that support was coming almost exclusively from patronage. With the advent of the recording industry

You make it sound like I'm anti-renewable. I'm not at all. I'm all for building as much capacity as we can as long as it makes economical sense and I will selfishly have solar panel and LFP batteries installed on my home as s

Sure but that wasn't the point. The point is that those that claim that we can replace fossils fuel entirely by wind and solar based on the current price of wind and solar production produced by an industry doped with fossil fuels at e

I sympathise with the locals woes but you need it to apply to existing and old homes to have the intended effect. They want the ruling to only apply to new buildings which feels more like a get rich quick scheme for homeowners than a change

Falsehood ? What do you know about building windmills ? I admit that I don't myself know much, but I can tell you that you need at least: - A modern metallurgy industry using coal to make steal - Possibly a chemical industry to make co

I assumed 3 events in the next 80 years. There's been 25 years between Chernobyl and Fukushima, and assuming we build new reactor, there is no reason to imagine it would happen more frequently. Why do you think there could be a catastr

It's very possible that you are right, that it's too late, that we can't redevelop enough nuclear capacity in time, that we are doomed to see the world burn. That won't prevent me from blaming the anti-nuclear crowd tha

The externality of emitting 1kg of CO2 has been evaluated between 10000 usd to 100000 usd. Assuming the lower range, the 300 millions tons of CO2 produced by the german electricity production accounts for 3x10^15 USD per years. That's

Thinking about it makes me mad. For all their renewable production capacity they still average over 300g of CO2 / kwh with all the gas and coal they burn. All of it, credit to the german green movement trying to save the planet from...

That's in large part due to the work of the german-influenced green movement which did manage to get France to stop building reactors for 30 years or so. In the meantime, the french nuclear industry lost the competency to build new one

No, I don't. If you are serious about limiting the effect of second homeownership, you don't restrict it to new homes but to the whole park. Look at the Swiss Federal Act on Second Homes at https://www.fedlex.admin.ch&#

It looks like a great ruling for increasing the wealth of current homeowners. By only restricting the purpose of new housing, you will increase demand and by extension, increase prices of the existing homes. Basically, it seems to be a grea

The article misses another important aspect: loss of nuclear competency. Between the 60s and 80s, there were many nuclear reactors projects which allowed an industry to develop and get better at it. But since the 80s, there was comparativel

In their KIA, ABRP might have been the best option. However, not mentioning it in WSJ article about EV road trip is criminal. The article is just FUD.
