The question does not make sense because it does not describe what happened. It was the conservatives who took the decision to phase out nuclear power in Germany. It is unlikely that the greens had much control over that, even if someone wo

The interesting bit about using H2 in industrial processes is that, while inefficient, it's also the school book example of variable loads. Solar and wind produces power extremely cheap but intermittent, so in a grid the push down pric

The risk for credit default is very close to zero, but the risk for renegotiated contract terms is not zero. That's what the whole Mar-a-Lago Accords was about. It is a strategy that describes in detail how that would be executed. The

Which more than well illustrates the absurd claims that the US needs Greenland because Europe places too little military power there.

> stop relying on America to fight the Russians for them, That's a very uncharitable take. Europe relies on NATO to fight the Russians. Of course it does. There is no alternative, and the US would never allow other credible alliance

NATO is a rootkit, a foothold for lateral movement in a literal sense, for the US in Europe. Is is not "critical" for anyone, in some theoretical sense, but it has proven very effective over the better part of a century to keep Eu

That's because in Italian, like in many other European languages, you use en-dashes to separate parenthetical clauses. The en-dash is used with space, the em-dash (mostly) without space and that's why it's longer. On old type

The commands in their example are not equivalent. The ps | grep thing searches the full command line including argument while ps -C (and, presumably, the psc thing) just returns the process name. Should you for some reason want to do the fo

The stated objectives for this administration was to be understood as: Weaken USD. Cheaper oil. Weaken NATO. This should surprise no one. Undermining NATO fits the now well known negotiation style perfectly, you can try to get a good deal f

I am sure Cloudflare would have no problem selling you a VPN service. After all, it's not very far from hosting booters and selling DoS protection.

Does it really matter what is illegal if it is pardoned? Starting insurrection to overthrow election? Pardoned. Killing police officer? Pardoned. Ordering contract killings? Pardoned. Large scale drug smuggling operation to the US? Pardoned

That terminology is identical in git, likely inspired by cvs and svn, so that bit probably won't improve. It's inherently confusing to juggle different trees, and clearly you need some terminology for it. At least this one has bec

What is the argument here? Does it still hold if you s/rebase/comments/g ? Of course a readable code history aids in debugging. Just as comments and indentation do. None of these are technically necessary, but still a good id

It's a bit more complicated than that. The ecosystem around node is just weird. It's not clear what role NPM wants to have. Lots of people chase downloads on NPM. It's their validation, their youtube subscribers, or their git

I am surprised to learn this. Can you influence outcomes on Polymarket by purchasing enough UMA tokens? Why would people accept this? Especially if ownership is anonymous and could overlap with market actors?

Note that they count the distribution ChromeOS as separate from other Linux, for me they add up to 7%. But they also show both Android and iOS at 0% which makes me think the dataset is not really representative.

SLAAC doesn't exist with IPv4. If you want SLAAC, you have to run v6. Nobody forces you to use SLAAC. It's not an argument against the use of v6.
