You could just google it you know, or look up vids on YouTube of battery recycling plants in operation.

I think fire risk is a major consideration but energy density isn't as big a consideration for static installations as it is for vehicles. I expect static installations will use lower density batteries if they are cheaper, and/or safer, and/or have more charge cycles.
They will be crushed up and the recycled. Next stupid question.
... specifically Ubisoft ones.
What purpose does it serve to make it hard and expensive for people to file taxes? Regardless of politics, governments should make it straightforward and convenient for people to pay taxes because otherwise they take a hit on revenues and spend inordinate amounts of money chasing people who fail to file correctly.
Having decent software is one part of this, but quite honestly the US should do what other countries do and collect the tax at source wherever possible, including payslips.
Well that's a profoundly stupid comment and feeble attempt to derail the point. Hmm, which is more likely to reduce crime and squalor - spend billions on a golden fucking cube, or on societal reforms - housing, amenities, jobs, etc. That's a TOUGH ONE. "leftist paradise" ffs
Saudi Arabia has slums, and crime, and drugs just like everywhere else. They don't like to mention it but it's all there in the underclasses of their society and easy to read about. And the point here is that there are real problems that they could solve with public spending instead of boondoggles. The Line is one example but there are others, like Mukaab (an enormous building in the shape of a giant golden cube), or Qiddya turning an entire valley into a theme park / sports complex. Half of Saudi Arabia's 2030 "vision" projects are just stupid things costing billions with no chance of completion or recouping their investment even if they did
Also concerning MBS and his "reforms". Yeah I guess dragging Saudia Arabia slightly into the 20th century is progress. Unfortunately it's the 21st century.
The indictments we know about so far are to satisfy the extradition process - crimes demonstrating US jurisdiction. I bet the US has a bunch more racked up for all the shit he got up to while he was hiding in the embassy. He'll get those when he is in US custody.
Or just basic sanitation, housing, education etc. but MBS would prefer to waste billions on vanity projects and boondoggles.
This project was stupid in every conceivable way and should have been laughed out of the room. Environmentally, logistically, technologically, economically. It was a joke. Except it was the brain child of a psychopathic despot and who is going tell that guy? Wonder how many people died to get it this far even.
Will Apple allow Bittorrent clients that only download legal content?
Sticking up the walls of a house are a fraction of the effort. I doubt if someone compared 3d printing to other forms of construction (e.g. blockwork, icf, prefab) that the 3d printed version would justify itself in time or cost. It's snakeoil being pushed by an industry in search of a problem that doesn't exist. Oh we can solve the housing crisis with 3D printing! Nope. If someone wants to build a house, then just build a fucking house.
All browsers have memory caches and memory pressure monitors that will flush data. If you want a citation just look at the source code of Firefox, Chromium et al or the articles that describe their strategies. RAM sitting around doing nothing is wasted and browsers will opportunistically use it until something else needs it.
... for all the people seeing their RAM fully utliized but would prefer if 70% was just sitting there idle. Because all browsers will use what is there by default and relinquish it if there is memory pressure, but apparently that's not good somehow.
... for anyone looking forward to a series that died on its ass with the first sequel and got progressively worse and more pretentious.
It's later than you think, the joint Russian-American space mission has already begun.
