I find it fascinating how triggered people get, when they hear people making a personal choice out of conviction. Almost as if they are being attacked on their own choices, which they are not.

The question is if miners pull out at all. In theory there are two important price points: the one where building up a new facility with initial investments is profitable and another price point where keeping an existing facility running is

We have a choice of either 2-3 days at the office hot desking or 4+ days at the office with fixed desks. Most devs actually choose the latter, other staff prefer the former.

Non-native speaker myself, I had to do a double take as well. I think 'to regret sth' can have two slightly different meanings: 1. If I could reverse time, I would decide differently getting a different outcome. 2. I am sad that t

Germany is still a net exporter of electricity. France benefits from that, because in recent years they had to shut down their nuclear plants during heatwaves, when the rivers they use to cool them got too warm. I guess that will only get m

So, by how much did Germany increase its carbon output during the nuclear shutdown? Hint: it didn't. It went from 14.8 to 7.7 tons/capita. You can always argue that it could have decreased faster by keeping nuclear plants online.

TFA says that the reactor part of a plant only makes up ~25% of the construction costs. The rest is the same that coal plants also have to deal with.

The term 'Schutzgebühr' comes to mind. No idea what the english term is. Basically a price people have to pay, for the sole purpose to prevent people wasting it if they don't really need it.

The blockchain is relying on the perfect solution fallacy. It tries to solve a problem that is mostly theoretical, does a very incomplete job and creates bigger problems than it is ever able to solve. The 'redeeming' factor is tha
