In essence quantum computing replaces hard results with a statistical outcome that is depending on keeping the QC from picking up so much noise that the answer becomes statistically insignificant. The more complicated the QC, the less margin.

Milking the hype aside, there's no investment upside in the foreseeable future.

True enough. Those who used to buy specific and typical UK-ish stuff from small sellers before Brexit, completely stopped doing so post Brexit as it became a nightmare for both seller and buyer.

When you look up the valleys you see a clear demarcation line to where they were filled up with ice until fairly recently (10ky-5ky ago) when the melting process started and accelerated due to lower albedo. We're in the final stages of the latest ice age.

We have now 8 years experience with LFP cells in an industrial environment and despite occasional misuse (shorts, overdischarge, out-of-spec low and high ambient temperatures) they have proven to be exceptionally safe with not a single incident with the cells themselves.

I came up with essentially the same paradox without knowing it had been a thing since Newton. My Gedankenexperiment involved measuring the strain in the rod of a dumbbell free floating in space and basically outside any gravitational fields to determine whether it is absolutely rotating around an axis perpendicular to the linking rod or not. It is weird that there would be such a absolute rotation free state. What would fix it ?

After reading numerous explanations not explaining anything it still tickles me from time to time.

You forgot a % sign.

Ok. The groups I mentioned continue to spread disinformation (untranslatable 'scheurtjescentrales' - crack plants ?) and I felt your last paragraph contributed to that.

It's worrying how long disproved info keeps on circulating.

"Because serious defects have been detected during a recent (a few years back) safety check."

Liar.

The inclusions of hydrogen were proven to be introduced during production, to not have grown since then and to be absolutely harmless.

At this point only the rabid greens, renewable subsidy suckers and shills corrupted by Putin (such as Tinne Van der Straete, Minister of Energy for the greens and 'former' counsel to Gazprom) are still trying to peddle that discredited message.

Here are some credits for your pedantry, which are more than offset by your continued use of "watt-hours".

[ To explain, not to excuse, my mistake: in several European languages the exact same word is used for both meanings. ]

Even ignoring capitalization and that participle, the unit of capacity in an electricity context is the Farad, abbreviated F. That megawatt-hours 'unit' doesn't make any sense at all.

The Greens and renewable sector are (were?) preying on the scientific illiteracy of the population and sending them down a cold, dark and poor path with false promises.

Trying to separate the strong from the weak, what could be done to make a VR experience as dizzying as possible, while still remaining reasonably realistic ?

Things like mixing up the x DOF coordinates and jitter time while in a visually striking but precarious situation ?

Asking for a friend as I'm totally immune.

Methane is useless without an oxidizer. Have you seen any oxidizing gas giants lately ? No ?

Rotating space stations need to have a quite large radius unless you love unintuitive jerks (esp. to your head) from coriolis forces.

From Prisoner of (energy) War to Piece of Shit.
They aren't even hiding it anymore.

You could bet that some crypto boi would dream that it would be a good idea to store entire videos on a public blockchain intermingled with smart contacts and some PoShitcoin.
