Interesting to see where wind farms look like they're underperforming; i.e. where wind farms in high wind seem to be producing a lower percentage of their theoretical output than others in low wind areas. Is that a problem with the dat

I believe the North Sea Link is specifically the longest undersea cable, not the longest transmission line; a more direct route could be taken across the Strait of Gibraltar with further transmission on land. For the purposes of argument, C

This is conflating liquidity with solvency, the parent appears to be arguing that SVB was solvent (which seems to be true) albeit not liquid. If I owe you $10, and all I own is a house, and you ask for your $10 back, I may not be able to pa

It sounds like there could be selection bias in those numbers, so I’m not sure that can be extrapolated. I’d expect that the percentage of vans driven by professional drivers is relatively high, compared to motorcycles.

Yeah, I’m simplifying because the linking part is the bit that’s relevant to this discussion; any other source that isn’t HN comments is a better way to get into the details. The general point stands, which is that GPL considers linking to

The point of LGPL is that it’s less viral than the GPL, specifically for linking. If you link GPL code into your project, the whole project virally becomes GPL; with LGPL, the link is the boundary. You can still request a copy of the source

Worth noting that (at least for national elections) your first preference also affects which political parties receive funding, so there’s an advantage to preferencing a party first even if they won’t be elected.
