FTFA:

Are they holding on because they still make a profit on those lines? Or because they can't unload them? I suspect the latter.

They're also in Japanese, not English.

Toss in a few virgins to placate the volcano gods and this wouldn't have happened.

Turns out it's very difficult to behead yourself.

That is not what the study shows at all. They did an analysis of what the revenue impact on utility companies would be at various hypothetical levels of PV installation between 0.2% and 10%. It ignored total costs of PV (including installation and maintenance).

Most importantly, the study does not predict that PV installations will grow to 10% or any other level. It is just a "what if" analysis.

The 57% improvement was on top of existing improvements like adding a reflector. This brought it up from something like 38% to 60%.

Video is different. You can assume someone is watching you from a distance, even if they can't hear you.

Problem is the potential customers don't have a credit card to activate their can.

They're not used to working from blueprints that use feet, inches, and pounds.

I assume they do the same thing almost everywhere. The only difference is how the pictures are used. Enforcing building codes, checking for illegal crops, whatever. The fact that this locality used drones is not especially interesting, a guy in a small plane could probably have covered the same area faster and cheaper.

If it was easy to make weapon grade uranium from ore we would control access to the ore. As it is, we control access to the enriching technology and final product.

Wrong. Submitter was talking about monitoring, not debugging. The subjects of his reports are operations; the idea is to look for opportunities to improve things, get an early heads-up that something isn't running as well as it used to, is getting close to capacity, etc. In other words - avoid problems, don't solve them.

But look at the results:

Java was one of the poorest at actually running successfully.
