So you buy a battery for your tiny grid island and pay a little more so that you can also use for a drive? Or perhaps not even more, because the standalone battery is less mass market item. Truly an interesting change, considering how much

"If a company came up to me " See, there's the difference. You, as a sole person, can easily decide giving permission or not. But they, as a group of employees, contain not a single one whose job description is "give aw

And yet the owners for the benefit of whom those high ranking employees have committed their crimes run free, keeping the spoils. Not even "spoils except for some monetary punishment" is they sold at the right time. Imprisoning CE

What about non-voting shares? Can it be ownership if you are not included in decisions? I've never really thought about it, but now I believe that what GP was describing is exactly how those are made (or should be made). So at least no

Ties those who ignore it closer to the group in power: more to lose when they lose it. Every little erosion of law adherence creates more of that cheap loyalty substitute.

But what actually is an acceptable level of trust? Acceptable for whom? For the billionaires, it's good enough if outside is worse, or even if it merely appears worse.

That would require monitors supporting daisy chain in the first place and I never had any problems with them anyways. Likely related to not using a full on hub but a minimalistic dongle with a DP outlet, a PD inlet and a USB outlet (which t

Just don't try putting something convenient in between, at least that's what my adventures in TB4 taught me: displayport from a TB port works fine, even when DP goes to a multiscreen daisychain and the TB does PD to the laptop on

So that you can flip over in an uncontrolled wheelie at an even lower fraction of the throttle? Even if there was infinite energy throughput (aka power) at zero mass, the main limiter for power per total system mass would still be the batte

The litmus test for all "oh noes! Don't put any engineering into our pretty mountains!" should always be a proposal to dismantle the Karprun reservoirs, the Landwasser viaduct and the Stelvio hairpins. Because visible enginee

What AMD wants to achieve with their CPU: sell them, preferably at a nice profit. If ISA is truly not relevant for performance and efficiency characteristics, all the more reason for them to not bet on any particular ISA but spread out, to

Some languages like Kotlin have var and val introducing the distinction between variables (that are expected to get reassigned, to vary over time, and values, which are just that, a value that has been given a name. I like these small imp

For a CPU vendor, ISA is very relevant: most buyers will start their buying decision with ISA choice already fixed, and a vendor who can't offer a CPU with that ISA simply isn't in the race. It does not matter whether you are a be

Could this be a strategy to scare away overoptimistic stock buyers? When you have a money printing machine that you don't expect to run forever (but aren't afraid of the future beyond, optimistic that you can still make money, jus

There will be a day when Microsoft ships a "Windows" that cuts all legacy compatibility except for an included distribution of Wine.

Finding a judge who does not really understand what Bitcoin is won't be too hard. All your "evidence wasn't obtained illegally" and so on are questions impossiblec to ask without a reasonable amount of knowledge. Require

Chances are they still have a lot of the money scammed, just not those particular 15B. In a way it's like with an overfunded startup: when at some point in time the music stops because even the last would-be investor realized that the

Taking an "optimist's advocate" position here (I share your scepticism): 65% are almost easy to achieve, with a bit of clever accounting: you'd look at fuel per ton-mile (that much is clear and perfectly fine) and then y

Perhaps the glider isn't strictly a glider but has some electric assist that's only used for takeoff and initial climbout? Electric achieves unprecedented power per weight when you only need battery for a minute or two. If you can

I'd rather have a format supporting a friendly truth on the ground (on the filesystem) than adding yet another "almost like standard behavior" quirk to tooling.

That tumbling should be conveniently predictable in absence of aerodynamics, but then even the best prediction would leave you with a tough nut to crack. I guess trying to solve that problem could be very helpful as a reality check to reign

I'd say PC gaming is huge, but the subset that cares for teasing out both fps and maximum details like it's 1999, that's tiny, an expensive niche hobby like classic cars (not quite as expensive tough). For almost the entire

Don't know about OVH (it might be a very similar story?) but Hetzner is from my region and I've known the brand since back in the 1990ies. The difference to most (all?) large American hosting services is that they never went throu
