Fantastic stuff that doesn't exist and won't exist for a long time at the humougous scale we need. We need to get out of fossil fuels now . Be realistic for chrissake! We need dense, powerful power sources.

For anyone interested in visiting a Los Angeles class sub, "Smarter everyday" made a nice series of videos inside one.

I completely agree but for one point: we need reliable, always available energy sources, so we'd better ditch renewables for more nuclear.

> You end up building almost double the amount of capacity that you actually use This is the worst argument I've ever read for renewables. With renewable and storage, you need to build at the very least 7 times the capacity. Mayb

I switched to using nitter.net for all links to twitter. At least this trick works.

Actually the problem is solved. First, dangerous waste is extremely small. All of the French high-activity waste for the past 50 years is currently in one single storage pool (a cube of less than 50m). Second, deep storage is safe. Oil and

I've migrated to NextCloud with the music application. Unfortunately Power Ampache sucks, but at least nobody can take anything away from me.

It's probably very low in this particular area. I pay about 1800€ for my small 3 bedroom house.

Why not? They didn't explain how it works. And he was an officer at the time.

A good friend of mine had the chance to see such a van while working for the French Navy. The operator even showed him a (somewhat blurry) real-time view of my friend's Mac desktop in the building next door... (This happened in the ear

> Apt-get breaks every few weeks At this point, I must say it: either you're lying, or you're pulling this from your rear end. That's true that apt-get was hit and miss in Debian around 2003/2004, and in Ubuntu mayb

I'd like to understand what you call "unreliable". I'm on an officially unsupported Lenovo Ryzen laptop. I've just hot-plugged and unplugged an external display, a gigabit network interface, a mouse. Everything is s

Exactly. My XPS13 from 2013 was upgraded from Ubuntu 12.04 to 20.04 with all the intermediary LTS versions. Never had a single hitch. Everything still works (except that the hardware itself is dying after all this time, of course). I can&

I have tinnitus since I've been on beta blocker treatment. I switched to some other molecule for a while, and it disappeared (however it induced other problems, like constant tachycardia, so I got my previous treatment back). It's

In the real world, any period of exponential growth is part of an S-curve (coming to a plateau) or a bell curve (reaching a maximum, then decreasing) of some sort. You can't cheat with the law of physics and entropy.

That's an interesting tool. As a former professional pianist, I'd repeat what I feel like the limitation of such a program: it does teach you note reading, which is nice, but really basic piano technique is a necessary preamble. Y

My wife nearly had an accident because of a huge ad billboard that suddenly displayed huge roaring flames, to advertise for some steakhouse. My general feeling is that these sort of intrusive, dangerous, anti-ecological (such a billboard co

Cross-sending is called FXP in video and is(was?) used extensively by all broadcasters, TV channels, etc. So much that it's a must-have functionality for any storage system in this domain.

And Bolivia, too. In fact, NYTimes even had an article stating that what happened was a coup against Evo Morales and that its previous articles were misrepresenting the situation.

I don't even know what you're talking about. I have a sony BT noise-cancelling headset (in fact two), and they work just fine with my Linux (pop_os) laptop. No noticeable difference with my android phone. The mike works fine, too

Ah yes, we had an NNTP server as a dev and support chat/group messaging in my startup in 1999-2002 :) It was great: searchable, grepable, all discussions neatly threaded, groups by subjects...

Yes, that's the problem. You embark much less energy as fuel, lose lots of room for passengers and cargo; I very much doubt this could make sense economically. My brother-in-law who is an aeronautical engineer at Airbus isn't conv

I don't think that Russia is an unreliable partner, on the contrary in fact. Anyway I'm not arguing for natural gas at all, but for syngas, which should be carbon neutral. I never said "we shouldn't diversify", howe

In the 70s engineers in CEA in France modified some cars on the campus to run on liquid hydrogen. Apparently burning hydrogen in a combustion engine is pretty straightforward. I think that's the plan about future H2 planes, make them u
