8.7kWh at a somewhat high EU price yields somewhere between $2 and $3 a day. If this thing is about $6k, it should pay for itself within a year (if you have excess solar energy production, most contracts around here either don't pay an

With 15 years of residence, I believe they're eligible to apply immediately. They'll just need to pass the language test and the culture/history test. Get the background checks and the other processes done.

Nah, thy UK wasn't banished, just decided to leave. If the people will it, it has the right to reapply and queue orderly behind Macedonia and Ukraine.

Yup, it would take 6 years instead. Ship time ;) Source: https://gregsspacecalculations.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html... and ignoring all the other fun aspects.

Demographics seems to suggest that the prospect of unification is not unrealistic within our lifetimes.

It was a very bad idea. "We don't need nuclear power, we have Russian gas" is pretty hard to defend as an idea, really. Especially after Russia went pretty overt in its ambitions to re-establish the empire. And the invasion o

You seem to be arguing against "optimal", while quoting parent's "mostly quite efficient". The reality is that while everything is converging to a locally optimal point on the tradeoff curve, a _lot_ of software out

That's why Android has the system-wide pane for those. No space for (most of) dark patterns. And if someone goes out of their way to "accidentally" mess with that system (oops, this promotion went into the navigation category

I've read that biofuels are a waste. As in, if we replaced all the cars and trucks with electric ones, we could power them fully with solar energy deployed on the land used for the 5% biofuel... And use 90% of the reclaimed land for re

I got yelled at at an airport for allegedly doing that. I was just being sloppy at taking stuff out onto the tray.

"Non-scalable" is a rather medium excuse though. There's quite a few ways around this: 1. Raise prices enough to employ enough humans. I imagine there's quite a few people out there who'd be happy to spend a pint&#x

Mom still uses grandpa's can opener. I still haven't managed to buy one that would work that well too.

I've been burnt by Sony. Back in the first generation of the compact flagship. A great phone in all aspects... Until it was dropped. A tiny crack in the corner of the screen, you wouldn't notice without looking for it. Unfortunate

Political borders also don't just happen to be drawn on a piece of paper. They tend to snap to physical barriers, mostly rivers and mountain ranges.

Well, the face value of a doubled range is that you may need only half of it. An eight minute charge to 47% instead of fifteen minutes to 80%. That's comparable to an ICE.

I used to think that. But if you look closer at the life of current industry-farmed livestock, that is _not_ a life to be enjoyed. Sure, you can get proper happy beef. Say [1]. But then, you're looking at about $35 per pound. [1]: htt

You are obviously right with needing local knowledge first. But I've seen two types of well-used consulting: 1. A small team needs to integrate with an external data source. They figure out it's better to keep own engineers focuse

Yup, k-anonymity is hard. State of the art is rapidly evolving, requiring higher and higher k (i.e. more coarse/less useful reports). Most companies out there prefer to, um, not notice that.

I begrudgingly accepted this sad future and got a smart tv. The software is as awful as I assumed it will be. But every single platform trusts LG and just streams 4k without me even needing to keep up with updates.
