I think two things get mixed up (not by you)... a lot of sites, especially American ones, only started showing any kind of notice/request for consent once GDPR came in. But there was another wave before that, which everyone called the

eh, I figured it out, but I think even that only works if the writer and reader have shared assumption that the thing in question inevitably grows and so insert "(rate of increase of)"... "VR slowdown", I'd think le

Not the person you're replying to but pumped hydro is the most primitive I know of. Also: why must the highly variable renewables share the grid with highly variable demand, use them to make hydrogen (only when the sun is shining/

Of course greed ruins everything but part of the distibution cost is paying for energy (to make equipment, transport it around, feed the people involved, etc.)

This supply/demand equation doesn't necessarily have to involve incentivising increased supply, maybe the increase in capacity from offering the difference to drivers isn't worth it compared to just profiting from the scarc

Wouldn't we then have to give them some sort of asylum? Doubt that would go down well.

Ironically the EU warranty rules are still in place and it feels to me like this would probably break them. EVGA can say "Britain has become an bad place to do business post-Brexit" and leave, plenty of people, especially young pe

The context is people learning the language though... this sort of efficiency will always come with familiarity, like how you can read 21:00 as 9 without thinking about it

It helps that change happens particularly fast at that age, so the difference between newborn and 6 months is worth mentioning. Later on the units go up again and we just say "I'm in my 30s" :P On the other hand a computer&#x

I think the language is accurate and that's the problem (or not depending on your perspective) - sprints are all or nothing, and a way to create an artificial sense of urgency. "It's the last day of the sprint, better work la

It's more forgetfulness/plans change... I think probably installing water fountains everywhere would help more than giving everyone a metal water bottle.

It means (for those of us who can't let go easily) going through every tab, opening all the interesting pages it links to, bookmarking them, preferably with screenshots, downloading any videos, etc. I'd rather they weren't in

Tab hoarder here: mentally, they're somewhere between history and how you probably treat tabs. Probably 90% of my actual switches are within the last 10, another 9% in the last 100, etc. All I really want is infinite storage of pages w

But we should start there and everything else should just say "this will help you feel less hungry with less calories". If you had the willpower to just drink 1500 calories of Coke for a day, you would lose weight, you'd also

There are exceptions and I see how it can act as a sort of safety net group of acquaintances on which you can build... but for most people, work has got to be the worst place to find meaningful relationships and purpose, hasn't it? You

I usually just take both, and even then, I sometimes wonder if they actually do anything or if it's just a mass scale placebo conspiracy.
