I'd say a good definition for a "natural amount" is the average amount you get in a hunter-gatherer setting. That's what most of our evolution has prepared us for. Not judging on the value of thaat diet though. "Nat

Not for heating oil, since most installations that use gas for heating do not gace the capacity to switch to oil. And those who have the capacity to switch their heating system would choose a heat pump over oil (better yield). But oil (&amp

I think their definition of "Apeasement" they linked above can specifically only be used when talking about an "aggressive power" (cf. wikipedia) Thus, to solve the problem of what would be "apeasement", you n

It is impressive how many people don’t understand the actual stakes of that law in this thread. Let’s look at a similar situation by changing the country names. Right now, most advanced microchips used in the US are made in Taiwan. Imagine

You're taking a specific case (low amount of data, high egress) and comparing an offer specialized for that use case (r2) with a general-purpose offer. Amazon S3, for example, would not perform better than upcloud here (I calculated $

Yes they do - https://www.ovhcloud.com/en/datacenters-ovhcloud/ - https://upcloud.com/about and others. The european cloud providers clearly don’t have as many features or market share as the GAFA

better analogy is if they decreased the weight limit of vehicles your license allows you to drive, you could say your suv hasn’t become illegal, it just needs modifying (that is, changing the bodywork & the wheels)

In Paris (and other European cities too I guess), wait time for the metro is 2-5min between 2 trains during the day (depending on how busy the line is, and whether you’re at peak hours). At very low usage hours (at night, or early morning),

Problem with commute times, is that you can’t easily change your job to get one that is closer (compared to changing your gym / grocery store…). Plus a lot of companies like to congregate together in sorts of business districts (I don’

My bad if it was unclear, "theoretical limitations" obviously concerned chemical means of storage. Hydro is ideal, but the problem is it needs mountains and huge amounts of water, which aren't accessible everywhere You also d

You realize a gas car contains a tank full of highly flammable and explosive liquid that it uses in small quantity to create small explosions thousands of time in a second? Of course they catch fire. what's surprising is that they don

There's also the fact that –let's face it– code is intimidating. Having a ui - that looks more like what children are used to in everyday UI - that is *localized*: in general programming languages are centered on English. Most you

Article says it is better to actually read the paper instead of trying to figure it out. I disagree on that. It is a good exercise to try to prove it by yourself and it was actually quite fun Main mistakes author makes though - trying to pr
