The tax income produced by those people is being used to fund the war. It is unfortunate but it's better to have a person become poor than another person being bombed. Ín a world without nukes they would be bombed too right now, becaus

Putin cannot really do much. West fully joining the war would mean nuclear exchange. But Puting ending the world due to weapons shipments? Very unlikely.

Might be tricky, mostly due to how the transaxle works. Even if you find a space for the battery (the 2021 Rav4 PHEV has bit less ground clearance) the electrical motor of that generation might not be able to drive it on faster speeds witho

Salting is useless if it gets too cold. So it’s only done at max -7C or so (if memory serves right). Here in Finland the southern parts are a salth bath. But the colder northern parts are not salted, and that shows in the average rust level

The reason for sticking to standard is when inevitably someone will try to compile it with another compiler. It’s far easier just to stick to the spec instead of fixing non standard code. For some reason it has been me several times doing t

It would have been weird if they had been unenforceable. As that would mean there is no license to use it at all. And copyright law generally doesn’t work so that if you don’t have a license you are free to do whatever. It’s the opposite. N

It’s the same in Finland. I’d hazard a guess that the reason behind it is that without it being forced people would be subtly pressed not to have the vacation.

Where I live (Finland) hybrids on the other hand retain their value the best, with diesels being the worst. The fuel savings are so significant that people do flock to them.

Normalizing a vector needs this. And it's super common as whenever you just want to have a direction you're likely going to need it. Your GPU also has a fast instruction for this because in graphics it's very very common oper

How do they prove it? Unless it’s by receipt from a radar gun which is how it works everywhere else. We also require receipt, and there is no shenanigans with speed limits.

It’s not backwards compatible as in Type2 would be obsolete. Type2 is for AC charging (up to 22kW) and that what home chargers use. So it is not going away. CCS just adds two large pins under the Type2 for DC charging. No sense to have thos

Sound cards are indeed very underappreciated. 5 years ago when VR was the hype we measured latency using them. By syncing the audio stream to the high precision clock and basically putting in a photoresistor into the microphone port we coul

The waste heat of some datacenters here in Finland is sold as heating service (we have a remote heat (kaukolämpö) network) so basically whenever houses need heating the datacenters make some money out of the waste heat.

They generally do. As per the article this time was an accident.

It depends on what part. In Finnish we call it Joulu (deriving from Yule). There are tons of pagan traditions related to it still, even if it has been christianized. Maybe in US it’s more strongly christian. But not necessarily everywhere.

Depends on what level. Historically it was an empirical observation that was taken in as an axiom to classical thermodynamics. So it couldn't be derived from other laws. If we move to statistical mechanics we can derive the second law

Reminds me of the AMD ARM server boards, that happened way after Itanium and they still repeated the exact same mistake. Basically there was no way of getting your hands on them. They were interested only in "Serious customers".

That's true. But in a way it just emphasizes how much energy Bitcoin wastes, so it's fine-ish.

It depends on what is counted there. It might be the total operations of the company. Offices, AC for offices and whatnot. Especially when talking about CO2 emissions absolutely everything is included, including plane trips and whatnot.

It’s a financial thing. Porting to Linux costs money, that’s what it means. Depending on the engine it can be quite a lot of time. Especially if you don’t already have a Vulkan backend. Therefore if you don’t think the additional sales are

Yeah. It’s only fair as the interest on accounts is at 0% in Finland. If they would bring negative interest to normal acocounts they’d likely have to do the same with mortgages. Bringing it to euribor + margin.

by sharpneli 5y ago
Do the mortgages also have a negative interest rate or are they cappoed at 0?

As for the 3 and 4 it all depends on how it's made. If its Volvo style PHEV then yes, correct. It has normal ICE and gearbox on front and electric motor on rear. If it's Toyota style PHEV then no. Because then the comparison is no

To be honest we actually figured even this one out. It just requires a particle accelerator and the amounts are so tiny that it’s ridiculously expensive. But hey, we can still do it!

I agree with the nit. > Simply put – Apple doesn’t need to care about Vulkan or OpenGL performance. OpenGL and Vulkan allow an implementer to more easily make such specialized HW. But it doesn't assume it at all in any other way. If

The ftl part does need negative energy. Subluminal warp bubbles do not need negative matter.

They’re even more useless than that. They’re exactly like those webpages that sell you a certificate that you own a particular star. It’s literally that. Someone giving you a slip of paper ”You own Mona Lisa” and nothing more. The actual pi
