>> Nuclear power is expensive now because we killed the industry 40 years ago. Nuclear is expensive because the endless government and military subsidies stopped 40 Years ago. And that was a good decision.
>> "green" countries... 2. France, which is pretty-much all nuke. That's not true. This map is real time "as of now", and in average over a year it's muuuuuuch much worse, and very different.
Basically France exports a lot of nuke electricity, esp. to Germany in the summer, but imports much more coal based electricity in the winter from Germany. This is due to the bad use of electric heating in France.
>> replacing the Fukushima nuclear plant with wind turbines would require several hundred km^2 That's good, because the Fukushima nuclear plant grown larger and now occupies 1000km^2 of land, so with smart wind and solar implantation, Japan could probably increase the nameplate capacity of Fukushima from -0.2 GW today to 40 GW
>> an effective "broadcast flag" Cool, a "capture the flag" contest coming soon, how nice that they entertain the hackers as much as the general public with nice easter eggs.
>> It was years ago and the data might be obsolete but i suspect that now it is even worse.
Nope . Average efficiency of a gasoline car is 15% small-tank-to-wheel Average efficiency of a fossil powered electricity plant feeding EVs through the grid is 35%, big-tank-to-wheel You burn over two times less fossil fuel by going 100% fossil electricity.
Germany today has 48% of fossil electricity. This figure decreases yearly.
So your typical EV in Germany is responsible today for only 20% of the emissions of the same gasoline powered car.
>> why is driving *within* California "an interstate activity", too? Because we all globally inhale the particles and shit exhausted by those cars. Because we all globally get the pollution generated from building, recycling, and fueling those cars.
The problem is, a lot of goods are today consumed by companies, not individuals. And these aren't taxed by the VAT system. Also, VAT rates differ widely by country, and which country's tax apply.

iPhone isn't a standard though - they aren't supported by 3.5mm jacks.
Apple wants you to ditch either headphones or iphones.
Renault introduced it first. The system was developped by Siemens.

Attending College in the USA may very well be a stupid decision.
Don't support Linux, and you'll be dead in the long run.
>> I don't believe that home-printed plastic zip guns are a threat anywhere
No, there are not a threat, but a feature: They enable darwinistic natural selection
>> My work laptop is dog slow with a clean load of Windows.
Yeah. Intel cannot do anything about this. You have only one option: Install Linux.
>> Epic wanted google to violate its own guidelines for them.
You don't violate a guideline. it's a "Guide" "Line", not a rule.
If the update took more than 7 days to apply, the update mechanism is flawed and needs change fast.

Nope. They do the QA on the component level.
But they let the customers do some of the vehicle level testing.
