When rates fall, liabilities increase, but so does the value of the bonds that the fund holds, so if they are properly funded and invest solely in bonds they are perfectly even. But bonds have had very low yields for decades, which makes fu

If everyone in US and Europe were using only 2kw, we would probably be carbon negative today , as renewable + nuclear + storage might be enough for all our needs. Reducing consumption is a huge part of the solution, especially because it m

According to the article, the US us by far (very far) the worst offender and yet it is only 6x over the target, not 10. Switzerland, which does not strike me as a country with a low standard of living, is 2.5x over the target. Europe 3x.

You are probably misremembering, as DNS queries and responses don't contain dots (as the article points out). Maybe you were missing the \0 terminator after the last name segment? In which case it's quite clear why the request was

The usual arithmetic conversions linked from the article [0] are a bit different from the ones I know. In particular, if int can represent all values of all operands, both of them will be converted to int. Thus comparing unsigned short and

And so? I need a KW of power for the next hour, I'll buy from whoever will sell it to me at the cheapest price. Why would anyone sell it to me at less than the highest price (gas) - 0.01€? As long as demand is inelastic I believe that

I believe for a large part of the world homosexuality is far less controversial than homophobia, and thus it makes sense that Disney would want to showcase same-sex couples to declare loudly that they are not homophobic. Whether this is sin
