This is great news, especially given the geo-political risks related to Taiwan. I still hope for the best, but with majority of chips produced in Taiwan we need to be ready for alternatives.

I was born in '74 so the last generation to start with C and go to other, higher-level, languages like Python or JavaScript. Going in this direction was natural. I was amazed by all the magic the higher-level languages offered. Going t

Plus maintenance on large number of things is a b*tch. My better half owns a small hotel with 19 rooms. Turns out running a simple 10 minutes task in each room takes... entire day (3 hours for the work + switch room overhead + breaks turns

I just installed a 50KWp FV setup in family owned hotel. It produces a 300kWh daily (summer in Europe). Still seems like nothing compared to what is consumed.

Oh yes, drunk businessmen sleeping around JR stations because they did not make it for the train to come home for the night are treated as holy cows in India. Full respect, including Police.

High cost of suffering (e.g. being ran over by a car when street crossed on red light) and relatively small reward for corresponding success (meh, just crossed the street in the example) might explain it.

Plastics are extremely good on the account of features and price. As such they are difficult to replace. I want to bet we would create bigger negative impact to environment due to additional spoiled food alone if it was not for plastics. Re

I know a few folks who live in Seattle, and they all - at one point or another - attempted to convince me Seattle is not rainy. This alone is a proof Seattle is rainy enough. On a more serious note, I agree it is about relatively little sun

We should work under general provision: if data is gathered, it will be used. Even if it is not legal today for IRS to do something, it does not mean it will not be tomorrow. And law unfortunately works backwards too.

The electronic statements are a blessing - just download and keep a copy. Exactly same as with paper ones, but with fewer steps. All systems have their limits, but the current electronic ones are much better than the mortar and paper of yes
