Frequent transfusions have been proven to give you iron overload at least, and the iron chelation pills are nasty pieces of shit. Wish it made my dad young again, but all they do is keep his anemia under control. Anemia I suspect is related to blood shock he got from a transfusion after surgery.
Chicago set cold weather records this year, how the fuck will you heat homes with renewable energy by 2035?
I'm not saying there are no ways to carry renewable energy forward in time or across the country for winter use, but not by 2035. District heating with massive hot water reserves, power to gas, cross country HVDC distribution networks... that's all much further out.
Even then any sane state should still have fuel based backups and a strategic reserve of fuel.
Probably the vast majority of stock trades he has ever made was on insider information either acquired himself or from connections, just generally with more deniability. It's easy to get lazy with routine tasks.
That internet becomes more expensive for generic use is a safe bet, but there will be people satisfied with the big business subsidised subset of the internet. In the words of EFF, you get an "inferior Internet"... but you can get it cheaper.
By making the superior internet the only one you can buy, poor people lose something too. There are good arguments to make that decision on behalf of society, but lets not pretend there aren't any poor people becoming losers in this scenario.
White hats were reporting exploits long before you could make money with it, the money is not some inherent right. The guy is not a white hat, he's an asshat.
So tell me, is my country doing Hep B vaccinations wrong? My country only gives the vaccine to newborns in risk populations (otherwise it happens after a month).
If my country is doing it correctly, why should parents in the US who know (with better information than any doctor has access to) they are low risk not follow my country's example?
The have made it impossible to themselves to the best of their abilities to get data off a locked phone, but that's not really relevant to a running phone receiving updates. As long as they can push an update to your phone they have the ability to get all your data off it, in plain text.
You only realise that now? They do business in the US with a closed source device for which they push the updates. The only way they can protect your privacy from government is by making it technologically impossible for themselves to invade it, but that only works in some limited circumstances such as locked phones. For normal use all your data is ready for the taking by Apple and thus the US government, they knew that going in... they are now extending that courtesy to other nations.
If they really wanted to protect your privacy they would go open source with verifiable builds, that way they would at least have to push a backdoor to all their customers to be able to target a single one. They could still do it, but it would be harder to do unnoticed and easier to challenge in court.
Apple controls all the software which runs on an iPhone, they let you keep your keys private as a privilege granted by a limited contract (not even an explicit contract, but advertising statements). It's not guaranteed by technology, it can not be. Anything you can do on your phone they can do, simply by pushing an update.
They use end to end encryption with the keys private on your device, but they have remote root on your device...
It's much easier to keep an old (coal) plant on stand by and still make a profit than a new gas plant. Those investors have to look decades ahead. Gas plants are the most expensive to run, so they get turned off first. They will want some kind of profit guarantee to build them.
Giving them that guarantee from reserve pool status is the most open way of doing things. Consumption guarantees will be a problem down the road, when you face the choice of the plants either becoming very very expensive reserves or just using their power regardless of the potential of more CO2 reductions. Loan guarantees will just be a huge political scandal down the road, the power companies will reap profits for a while and then when they become unprofitable (due to increasing renewable power generation) wash their hands of them and let government temporarily nationalize them and take a huge loss if they try to sell them again.
Meanwhile the EU makes everything harder by wanting the markets to be open.
That wasn't my point, I simply said not all the costs had been taken into account yet... because politics. The proposal suggests taking another look in 2023 to see what is necessary to get sufficient gas generating plants build and that look and more money will almost certainly be necessary.
Not just domestic politics either. The EU allowed the reserve pool to exist for now, but announcing a dramatic expansion of subsidies so soon after the EU did so would probably not be a good idea.
"As I already pointed out: we already have more reserve capacity than the amount of power we export."
There were 2 days of net imports last December. This will get worse with a coal phase out. What you need is not reserve capacity in excess of what you export, what you need is fossil fuel reserve capacity to keep the country running with next to no wind and without outside help.
It's not an article, it's the Abschlussbericht Kommission Wachstum, Strukturwandel und Beschäftigung“.
Die Versorgungssicherheit soll grundsätzlich im Energiebinnenmarkt gesichert werden. Grundsätzlich sollen die empfohlenen Maßnahmen zum Ausstieg aus der Kohleverstromung Planbarkeit für die Marktakteure schaffen und so dafür sorgen, dass die erforderlichen Investitionen in neue Kapazitäten – insbesondere Gaskraftwerke und Speicher – im Rahmen des Energy Only Marktes und im Rahmen des KWKG getätigt werden.
Sometimes the wind does stop, at the same time across all of Northern Europe. We still have excess fossil fuel capacity for now, of the sort Germany wants to turn off. Everyone is turning off old fossil fuel capacity without replacing it 1:1 though, in France's case they will also turn off ageing nuclear plants without completely replacing them. That's why you can't rely on neighbours, excess capacity is evaporating everywhere. Leading the pack means you run into trouble first, because every country will prioritize its own during a Dunkelflaute.
As I said, the report itself said new natural gas generating capacity needs to be build... there's nothing terribly controversial about that. They are just pretending the market will provide and delaying some hard political choices by a couple more years.
By the way, the report literally says Germany needs expansion of its natural gas generating capacity. They also mention all the problems why the market might not be willing to invest in them while renewable energy is being expanded (they are the first to get turned off). They just kind of wave their hands in the air and say they will wait for 2023 for the market to supply and if not they need a rethink how to make the investment more attractive, while pre-emptively saying it can't be expansion of the reserve capacity. Clearly indicating it's the solution, they doth protest too much.
The determination of the real costs is delayed till 2023. In the mean time they pretend to believe in fairy tales, they don't really... but politics.
The market will not put down the necessary amount of new gas plant without either guaranteed consumption or being paid to keep it mothballed until the next dunkelflaute. Germany needs a massive expansion of its subsidized reserve capacity and they are unwilling to commit to doing so for now.
Solar for the patsies, coal for China. China is building as much coal generating capacity as US has in its entirety... the few PV projects are only value signalling.
Without subsidy levelized cost for solar has to be cheaper than fuel cost for coal plants they have any way. That's less than a $0.01 per kWh, solar is getting close but it's still at least a decade off barring some technological leap AFAICS.
They invested too much time and face into this. Even if they had no evidence about the communications at all, any lie to investigators they thought they could prove would have led to his arrest at this point. The reason for his arrest was because they thought they could prove those counts.
Of course they started the investigation because they were hoping they could prove something like commissioning a crime or conspiring to commit a crime. If that were one of the counts it would actually be over the communications, they still apparently can't make any of that stick. Maybe some plea deal testimony can save this clusterfuck for them.

That's just what they can prove.

In the case of ABS and traction control, yes indeed.
The fallibility of human beings is the root cause. You can mitigate that fallibility or maintain an absolute illusion of control.
PS. do you ride a motor cycle by any chance?

It's permanent, some treatments can help against latent cases but they only use it for AIDS patients.
Just sterilize the lot of them and let this be the last generation of house cats, it's not fucking worth it.
Maybe in the future we can breed some species which are immune.

German doesn't export power during a Dunkelflaute ... and that's the problem.
You can't rely on neighbours to fill up the reliability gap of renewables.

Those most invested in promoting it are the most economically invested in its success.
They have the coal plants any way, as well as the personnel to man it.
The _levelized_ cost of solar has to compete against the _fuel_ cost of coal.
Solar for the patsies, coal for China. China is building as much coal generating capacity as US has in its entirety ... the few PV projects are only value signalling.
Without subsidy levelized cost for solar has to be cheaper than fuel cost for coal plants they have any way. That's less than a $0.01 per kWh, solar is getting close but it's still at least a decade off barring some technological leap AFAICS.
