The Cuban state power company is building solar farms just as fast as they can, with Chinese support. That helps with daytime peak demand, but is little use for evenings.

Total rubbish. There are no restrictions whatsoever on people leaving Cuba, apart from the usual requirement for a plane ticket, passport and visa depending on the intended destination. The latter is the hard one for most Cubans, but that's nothing to do with the Cuban government.

Lawyers might be fucking idiots, but I bet they know that apostrophes are not used to form plurals!

Bordeaux doesn't have inductive power for its trams! It's a 3rd rail pickup system, with a clever system so that only the rail is only live while under the tram, to remove the risk of electric shocks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

125 miles per hour was high-speed back in the 1970s in Europe...

The real money didn't evaporate or spontaneously combust... it's just transferred to the people who were smart enough to get out in time...

...which is why Apple call their product Silicon and not silicone... the former being an important element in many types of semiconductor and the latter covering various silicon-oxygen polymer compounds used to make everything from bath sealant to breast implants...

Did they leak Apple's internal random apostrophe's too? Illiterate fuckwits...

No, the system recommended and supported by Apple and Google uses Bluetooth LE, so works indoors or underground etc where GPS would be unreliable. It works on proximity, not location.

Contact tracing is almost by definition something that is done after the fact, not in real time. Someone who knows he is positive with COVID should not be walking around triggering alarms, he should be isolating. The point is to alert people who have spent time in the recent past in the vicinity of a person who is discovered to be infected, so they too can isolate themselves.

NFC not much good since it is intended only to work over a distance of 4 cm / 1.5 in.

Maybe an automated system is needed to ensure correct placement of apostrophes...

You can certainly take an iPad or pretty much any portable consumer electronic device into North Korea no problem.. and though they would give it a quick check over to look for any subversive content, they would be highly unlikely to notice if it had been modified internally. They certainly don't give you another device!

hint hint, you're an illiterate fuckwit if you think there's an apostrophe in 90s

What's a Latinx? Is it a big wild cat or a Mexican with a bad cough?

If you're going to troll then at least learn the difference between queue and cue

In the UK (and some other places) it *is* against the law to charge a higher amount for using a credit card... So sometimes credit cards are not accepted for larger or low-margin payments (but debit cards still are, as they typically have a fixed cost to the merchant instead of a %age of the transaction). Only elderly people still use cheques... businesses and individuals use electronic bank transfer for push payments
