If only we could model how frequently there was zero wind and whether that calculates with zero solar. Oh wait, we can, and we do. It's not even hard. https://reneweconomy.com.au/a-near-100-per-cent-renewables-g... In

CC just feeds the whole codebase and entire files into the model, no RAG, nothing in the way. It works substantially better because of that, but it's $expensive$.

Nonsense. Labour (largely) supported ditching first past the post in the referendum. The opposition/conservative party campaigned against it.

They had a referendum on it in 2011 and decided to keep FPTP. You can lead the horse to water, but you can't make it drink.

journald is such a disaster. How is it possible to be so much slower than even gzipped plain text.

Many countries do enforce the speed limits like that. Try doing 110kph in a 100kph zone in Australia/NZ/CH and you'll get ~500$ fine pretty quickly and lose your licence on the 3rd try.

The opposite is true - the betting companies want algo traders to come and make the markets for them. They get reduced fees and bonuses for making the market.

Speculative investors aren't removing the house from the market, they're renting it out. Houses produce Housing. Sure, some people specifically want to buy Houses, but all of us need Housing. (I do completely agree we should g

Income determines house prices because there is not enough supply. Without enough supply, what stock is available gets bid up to the maximum people can pay (largely decided by banks). This is like a basic cornerstone of economics!

I don't see how this holds. Why would more houses not get built if the banks were so willing to lend higher and higher amounts? Seems more to me like, because there is a shortage, the marginal price gets bid up to the maximum people ca

Most of the trading is not done by retail traders but at much lower fees than that, if not being paid (market makers). I just can't make it add up.

Is this really true? I observe much more DIY in countries with high VAT's, because your own labor does not have VAT. If I work on my car, and you work on your house, we are both financially ahead than if you had worked on my car, and I
