Its not just the coal generator accidents but the weirdly long underground fires that rarely get a mention. Here's one article I found of a fire underneath some suburban houses: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-07-

Something odd is happening here. Perhaps I can offer a piece of insight. APRA is the Australian music copyright organisation ( https://www.apraamcos.com.au/ ) ECAD is the Brazillian version. VCPMC is the Vietnamese equivalent

Take a pinch of half truth (this is about protecting journalists), mix with a dusting of nationalism (FB are intimidating Australia) and viola - a news monopoly gets a legislated free ride. Lets all fight amongst ourselves about government

Please keep going :) Using Smalltalk (particularly Pharo) has been an eye-opening experience for me. Its interesting to see that Amber has a Boolean class which I suppose corresponds to the JS boolean primitive. In other Smalltalks, I'

You're missing the fact that the plastic was already there. As another poster mentioned - in Kenya, waste plastic is commonly burned on the side of a road. Turning it into bricks is an improvement on this. As a materials engineer, I&#x

Nice work. Its also nice to know that a low price point doesn't automatically act as a bad-player magnet.

Well that was concise. I'd love to know the types of sites they hosted. Anyone here have the skillz to find out? My bet is on slimming tablets and viagra sales.

Large numbers of the 'get rich quick' crowd that you speak of become poor after each crash. More will follow. Each time this happens, I stand in awe of the brilliance of bitcoin - not so much the details of UTXOs or hash magic, bu

Its great that you can find these consumption figures so easily in some cases. It seems that Google only uses 10.6 terawatt hours. https://www.google.co/search?q=google+total+power+consumptio... Add Facebook's 5.1 and

Agreed that the problem looks like 'fail open', but there is the additional possibility that they had no plan for this failure mode at all beyond timing out. In that context, and with folks with no regard for consequences in charg
