When you have low wind area (ie. dunkelflaute) covering 90% of your wind turbine generating capacity, the remaining 10% still has to be generate 100% of the required power.
So just because the wind always blows somewhere doesn't necessarily help, unless you're willing to pay for tremendous overcapacity under optimal conditions.
Comparing PV kWh cost to current mains kWh cost doesn't tell the whole story. Currently the upkeep costs for the coal power plants is calculated into those prices. When enough people go PV, the upkeep costs will have to go into the connection costs instead... whether you'll still be able to come out ahead then is questionable with current PV prices.
That doesn't mean you shouldn't be a free rider and fuck the poor with higher electricity prices in the mean time of course, gotta look out for number one... and you get to pretend you're doing it for CO2 too.
Also once a forest is grown it's mostly zero sum, you have to continuously bury the transformed CO2 to make headway (preferably with as little loss of soil nutrients as possible).
Okay, so genociding most of the human population it is then?
Because I thought the plan was to economically lift most of the developing world out of poverty and increase their standards of living and natural resource consumption. If we are going to do that no level of conservation can prevent massive increases in deforestation and CO2 emissions going forward, unless we have some kind of singularity and get Star Trek level replicators.
What storage? The only storage methods we currently have with the potential for more than an hour or so are pumped hydro which isn't scaleable and thermal which only helps with heating and requires massive investments in district heating. We need reliable backup, batteries ain't it.
If building more wind&solar was cheaper than fueling a coal power plant, then they could make power cheaper right now. For now you have to pay for both the coal&gas power plants backup and the wind&solar, the combination is more expensive than just running the backup full time.
People keep telling me tools will help prevent this kind of shit for C(++). Google has fuzzers and memory checker tools out the ass, still these bugs get through.
They can punish multinationals for not complying though.
Playing chicken requires some balls and a lack of care for the consequences to win, the EU has no balls and the US is ruled by someone who doesn't give a shit about consequences. So in a game of chicken the US always wins.
When push comes to shove the EU will not impose liabilities on multinationals for complying with the Cloud act, but the US prosecutors would for not complying. The multinationals know this, so EU law is irrelevant and the Cloud act reigns supreme.
You'll often find Apple patents for highly specialized fields for which the experts work at competitors, which just try to patent little practical corner cases which they might not yet have thought of. They clearly employ people specifically for this, not doing research... just being Apple's personal patent trolls, building up their patent war chest.
Justice Bradley said all that needed to be said about the patent system : "It creates a class of speculative schemers who make it their business to watch the advancing wave of improvement, and gather its foam in the form of patented monopolies, which enable them to lay a heavy tax upon the industry of the country, without contributing anything to the real advancement of the art. It embarrasses the honest pursuit of business with fears and apprehensions of concealed liens and unknown liabilities to lawsuits and vexatious accountings for profits made in good faith."
We're have deforested half the planet and are well on the way to clear up the remaining part. The CO2 and many other gasses we already pumped in the sky aren't going to go away any time soon. The sun is always changing.
Pretending there is some 2000 year natural equilibrium which can be maintained if we just try hard enough is ludicrous at this point in the face of population growth.
They could launch new server modules at the same time, they've been in the space before. With the whole Spectre clusterfuck and the diminishing process lead of Intel, an ARM solution from Apple might well be superior. If so with Apple's weight behind it a transition could happen very quickly IMO.
It would be a scary situation for a vertically integrated company to be responsible for so much of computing though, so let's hope not.
You could have spend it on research subsidies for terrestrial applications and got more out of it. Accidental unrelated discoveries will happen in every field.
The only unique results you get from spending money going to the moon is what's necessary to go to the moon and nothing else.

Europe has winter all over, a bit of wind somewhere isn't enough unless we have orders of magnitude overcapacity.

Because we want the space to grow more cows.

The energy would go where most of the energy in fuel goes period, heat. It's not like a turbofan is short of cooling air flow.
According to the math it will work for harmonics, presumably the open area will represent an upper limit for that though.
The shape is a little more convenient than a Helmholz resonator for making a ventilating barrier.

Most of his bribe money was recovered. Unless Trudeau&co reached out to help him fake his death he wouldn't have had enough money.
You can compare it against living relatives to be certain the corpse is family at least.
As long as your client/key doesn't use them it's not much of a problem (for you) that the server does.
Why is the server standard not also a W3C standard? Then maybe we would have EdDSA as required instead of recommended like in the FIDO2 clusterfuck.
What would that cure be? Some mindrape pill which magically erases nihilistic hedonism from addicts?

It's patently obvious.

So you object to throwing some salt water into the air which would wash out in days when you stop as a mad scientists plan.
You would prefer streaming iron into ocean surface waters slowly changing the ocean's mineral make up permanently.

We can force an equilibrium or accept change.
Like the IT industry has a memory which spans more than minutes and can learn from mistakes.

It doesn't need to penetrate or cross much air, at 10 MHz ultrasonic has a wavelength of 34 microns.

Trillions of tax money got a few people on the moon, it got me nothing.
These attacks are simply a result of market cap falling too low and hashing power being cheaply available.
