Clearly an uniformed individual from perhaps the US? Let's be clear, the reason summers are warming fast is because of excessive CO2. US citizens emit, per person, 3x that of Europeans. Would you have us all start emitting 3x as much by adopting US habits (AC, Massive cars etc)? No, its time for Americans to wake up to what they are doing to the fucking world, and stop doing it.

Why remove the users from the porn, just remove the porn from the internet.

All points on one direction: two internets, one without porn, social media, enshitification - just stuff you need, and the other a cesspit full of fraudsters, porn, other crap.

Corrected that for you.

you've assumed the 5% losses are all concentrated within the cells themselves. Losses will be distributed throughout the charging components: The stationary charger, the charge cable, the cables inside the vehicle, the cells themselves, so no, its not analogous to 75kw heating in the battery pack.

Honestly, I am so tired of American (by which I mean US citizens) confidently spouting about topics they have fucking zero knowledge. The level of ignorance on show regards Europe suggests never having stepped outside of their state, let alone the US. Hows about you keep your ill informed self to your self.

Utter crap. Honestly, go find out a bit. Russia is completely outweighed (with the exception of nukes) by Europes combined forces. Europe has been screwed by the US pretending it was a reliable ally for many years (insisting that Europe did not in any way challenge the US), but that does not make it somehow some sort of vulnerable fucking puppy.

Depends on what you define as "applications". I agree that for GUI type stuff it's not very suitable (however Zed is superb and that's a GIU application).

For back end development (API's and suchlike) its absolutely bloody superb. What it definitively isn't, is a scripting language.

What makes me laugh is the assumption that US military spending will reduce if it withdraws from NATO.

I feel in my bones (not put any effort into a design however) that there ought to be a block chain/trust solution somewhere out there to this problem.

I switched to self hosted Forgejo some time ago, haven't looked back since. Just need to make sure it's well backed up (which mine is!). Ii really hate being beholden to these mega corps!

All the bleating about the price of selling the electricity is much higher than the value of the fuel ignores the truth that renewable electricity frequently has excess production - some grids are paying suppliers to not supply. I.e. if you can get paid to absorb excess electricity reactive to the dynamic market price, you can make money both ways - paid to absorb excess electricity and sell the fuel.

Deep seek demonstrated that and shocked the entire US Machine Learning community. 'merica is in the process of falling off its pedestal and it's fascinating to watch.

Except that it seems the supreme court is captured by Trump/Maga to an extent that they will nod this and any other outrage straight through. Brain dead.

Many Python libraries I have used (the "serious" ones at least) are wrappers to C implementations or even Fortran ! (I do a lot of numerical analysis). Those same libraries are also available wrapped in Rust and I am sure many other languages, so the argument that people choose python for its libraries, at least for my workload is not logical. In my opinion people choose Python because that's what they learned at university.

My subjective experience from a fairly long sample timescale (I'm pretty old) is that 80% of people are either dumb, or don't use their brains and are therefore effectively wrong 80% of the time.

Thinking is actually hard work!
