But they won't get a developer below 60k.

Job adverts like this are "the company is showing presence" only. This are not real jobs.

No one would apply for such a job, the money you get would not pay the rent for a flat.

For Southern Europe 2000 â is considered a good salary.
a) that is not southern Europe
b) it is not a good salary
c) it is a joke

Do you have mental problems?

The same way you do it in a 20 year old building.

Only difference: the 400 year old building might have half or even a full yard thick walls made from rock.

Instead of AC, you first teach people: not to open the windows during day time, and not let in all the hot air from outside during daytime.

Then: a 400 year old building made from rock, does not need AC. Not even if it gets significantly warmer.

Just visit a castle or cathedral to confirm it.

Then, if you want to rebuild: most of such buildings have cellars. Get your cold air from there. If possible drill tunnels into the garden, have the air take in go 1 or 2 yards underground.

There are plenty of simple units that do not make noise. And perhaps it makes a small effect if they are in the shadow of the solar panel.

Or you use one of the modern inhouse ACs, small boxes that have a water tank, de-humify the air, and have a cold stream of air with tiny water droplets in them. I have no real experience with them indoors.

However tiny water spray air streams have an astonishing strong cooling effect.

There are simpler examples, and your example is wrong anyway.
Power and capacity is the same.

MWh is the unit of energy. Not capacity.

Simple example, you let water run into a bath tub.
The current rate with which the water comes out out the tap is the current POWER, an the maximum hypothetical POWER is its CAPACITY.

The amount of water in the bath tub, at any time, is the amount of ENERGY spent or collected, depending from which angle you are looking at it.

Perhaps you should use less drugs when you give a f*ck, it seems to confuse your mind.

No worries you are not alone, your mods made the same mistake :P

RSA is dead.

If you /. morons would not think your 30 year old university knowledge is still up to date, then you would start watching what is actually going on in the world around you.

The whole computing world is shifting to "quantum safe" encryption, this is basically the main agenda of all western nations who have centralized legislation.

Because: we are all certain, that 2035 is to late! We have to shift at least in administration and research long before that. As it most likely not the case that the next code breaker is going to announce his quantum break through, first.

If you are in a tech job: what is so farking hard in staying up to date with QC and AI at least on a surface level?

Look at gweihir ( 88907 )'s stupid posts. He is supposed to be an (ex?) university professor in Computer Science: and has no clue about QC or "AI" what so ever. How ridiculous. Either he never was at university, neither as student nor professor, or he is meanwhile senil.

proof that this heat is nothing special, because it was similar in 2003.
Not sure what the reading comprehension problem of some people is about: up to 42 degrees in Gourdon and Carpentras, even 44 degrees in Gard, and this was an all-time record."

This are three cities with exceptional heat in 2003.

Now it is all of France and all of Germany it is not isolated heat islands in a random unlucky city: it is everywhere. I hope I am back in Thailand before August, if the same weather phenomena that is causing the current heat is happening again: it can only be worse.

In Germany "Balcony Power Plants" are a thing.
Solar plants with or without a small battery, that can be directly plugged into the grid in the house.
It is limited to 800W plugin, but if you have a battery, it often has an extra plug to directly connect some equipment. In this case an AC would make sense.

You have to google around for that.

The "arguable" best one, got apeshit and vendor locked in all its old users.

Plenty of them run plain Linux, most do Android.

Honestly: if you do not want to put your own apps on them it does not really matter.

Nook and Kobo I can recommend.

There are more modern ones with colour eInk. Amazing.

Stylus input or finger is the norm - regardless of brand.

I suggest to get an overview and watch some youtube vids ... if you do not mind vid. The market is so huge now, plenty cheap models are sponsored by book companies.

But some of them: are not cheap at all, but good value.

My Nook's and Kobo's could side load coad or boot from the SSD card for example.

Under what circumstances has a pedestrian priority?

Oh: when it is safe for him to cross the road without causing an emergency breaking of the cars around.

If a pedestrian is "attempting" to cross 50m in front of me: he has priority, and I am supposed to slow down.

If he tries that 10m in front of me, and I hit him: it is his fault.

And the big exception are zebra crossings ... I guess you know what that is.
