I’m surprised that’s still around. Is the average age still 14 on these networks?

Crazy. North Korea throwing poop. China going on an axe rampage. Which asylum will take those two please?

“To the contrary, the decision barely mentions copyright’s ultimate purpose of promoting broad public availability of literature, music, and the other arts,” it said.

It feels like the thoughts of the past came straight out of fiction. Today, nothing seems worth anything if you can’t directly make money from it.

We should call it by what it really is: a power grab by the ruling class, upsetting the checks and balances that were achieved through decades and decades of struggle.

What are the prices for private solar plants? For Germany’s electricity prices and current retail prices, PV and battery will pay for itself after around 6-8 years.

What’s the consumer price for electricity in Spain?

Took them an oil crisis (70s) to figure this out to be fair.

It’s difficult to extinct us. If will take a thousand years of volcanoes, bad harvests, pandemics without vaccines, etc.

We’re just so many now.

What’s a lot faster is to wipe away the achievements of civilization, pushing us back into a state where starvation, disease and suffering are the norm and not the exception.

Try OrganicMaps. It’s the best OpenStreetMaps backed app I’ve ever used, and I’ve tried almost all of them for 10 years now.

And there are way more square centimeters than there are square inches in the EU!

Given this reaction, he seems to be doing something which is working.

What people do for media attention…

Physical shutoff via relays is required by the standard. We’ve just been through a scandal where a manufacturer skimped out on putting them in and had to recall the devices.

Yes, because the frequency of the grid is also a trigger for shutting off the inverter. Inverters generate a frequency which indicates a “non healthy grid” that trigger the shutoff of connected inverters.

This is this, and that is that.

At this stage it’s all hot air. Nobody has even started talking about how to finance it and the defense minister isn’t even 100% sure he will get his requested additional funds for the next cycle. When somebody asked him about the topic he replied that he isn’t categorically against it but he would have to finance (and restructure, as the necessary infrastructure for it has been degraded/scrapped) more important topics first.

A few orders aren’t enough for companies to invest in more capacity. They need assurances that their products will be bought for at least 10 years or so to even recoup the initial investment. Weapons factories are expensive and thus risky to build, but government guarantees can eliminate that risk.

In the general public I don’t think it’s pure xenophobia, but in large parts a fear of not being able to communicate. The behavior they expose then is almost indistinguishable from xenophobia and for the receiving person in no way better, though when a foreign looking person is able to communicate, most hesitations will fall away.

I know that this is obviously not applicable to 100% of the population, but so is the other belief. There are obviously also die-hard foreigners hating nationalists, as in every country.

You can write selects with many joins, as long they are regular and either add a column or reduce the result set. You have to write the joins explicitly though. Just shoving all of the restrictions into the where clause will definitely confuse everybody.
