Nah man python powered ECU is the way it's going to go. The engine stalling whenever the GC runs is a bonus feature.

I'm guessing de-anonymised is more valuable, as it can be linked with other datasets to create a more in-depth profile, then sold to parties interested in knowing everything about a particular person.

Also nuclear is only weakly dispatchable, something the comment you replied to misses. So it is not suitable for filling the gaps. A 100% nuclear grid will need dispatchable peak power as well, be it gas or storage.

Australia doesn't have a law that criminalizes criticism of the ruling party, by anyone, anywhere in the world.

Working in that industry, my eyes roll whenever I see someone talk about "baseline" power. You are right in that there is no such thing as "baseline" generation really. And thermal plants also need to be over-provisioned

The issue I see is how "racial slurs in spoken language" are defined. There are plenty of people who assert that criticism of Israel's behaviour towards Palestine, or Xi Jinping, count as abhorrent racial slurs for instance.

Based on existing experience in Europe, it will significantly bolster local economies, as walkers and bikers often go into shops, often unplanned as they just saw an interesting shop during their journey. Net result was a big increase in pu

Don't forget that Taiwan handled covid-19 the best of all, and they are a democracy. The whole "democracy has failed to handle covid-19" narrative falls apart once you stop cherrypicking

As a FYI, Slovenia is also a lyme disease hotspot. Do tick checks, wear long sleeve shirts and tuck trousers into your boots and your shirt into your trousers. Don't give the ticks any opportunity to crawl onto your skin.

Er . . . A long exposure isn't the same as frame stacking. It isn't taking a traditional video and stacking the frames. Even if a shot is made out of stacked frames, each frame may be 5+ minutes of exposure, enough time for the ch
