  1. How the Scots can F the Brits on Theresa May Loses Overall Majority In UK Parliament (cnn.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If the SNP would agree to form a coalition with the conservatives, on the single condition that they can leave the UK and stay in the EU, they can get their independence.
    It will give the British and Welsh people what they voted for, and I think soon will regret.
    And it will not be their problem anymore.

    The Scots voted in 2014 only to stay in the UK, because leaving the UK would have meant leaving the EU.
    And in 2016 they voted mainly to remain, as they did not want to leave the EU.

  4. Nothing todo with Green Energy, but cheap Coal on Germany Exports More Electricity Than Ever Despite Phasing Out Nuclear Energy · · Score: 2

    I really would have it contributed to Green energy but as far as i got it, it is not due to the fact that they have a surplus of green energy, but that the Coal price is way lower than Gas.
    As a result Gas plants are turned off and Coal plants are used to the max.
    It just happens that the Netherlands has a lot of Gas plants and Germany Coal plants, hence the exports

  17. Py response on Paraguay Telco Hijacks DNS Before Elections · · Score: 1

    Hi I am a foreigner living in Paraguay.

    The issue is a little more mixed
    It seems they rerouted www.partidocolorado.gov.
    They claimed it was illegal use of their name/trademark.
    same as one would try to register CocaCola.gov

    In my point of view they should not have done this by using their powers in the national tel com and reroute the page, but they should have used the legal way "trademark/name infringement".

    Another point is that people get a government they vote for. It is not so bad here that people are motivated to vote anything else.
    Maybe this time there will be a change

    About corruption,
    Paraguay is one of the top positions, but nobody seems to care (sadly enough)

  18. Re:hum on Network Solutions Suspends Site of Anti-Islam Film · · Score: 2, Interesting

    As more and more information is popping up. It is even worse.

    A dutch critical research news program (Noorderlicht from the VPRO)
    is still trying to get all secrets uncovered

    What has popped up till now is that 3 major powers from NATO blocked all actions.
    (read US, France and england)
    This is information the minister of defense has released in the program.
    This is information the dutch secret service has uncovered afterwards

    The major forces in NATO actually wanted the serbs to take the enclaves, this as they were impossible to maintain.
    They hoped that after people would have been relocated all would calm down.
    They would take a certain number of deaths as acceptable.

    How wrong they were.
    When the slaughter started it was too late to stop it.

    This is also the reason why Mladic is still not arrested.
    They have had many opportunities, especially the French.
    But there actions have or being blocked or Mladic was informed ahead.
    There are radio recordings of it.

    The problem is, Mladic knows too much
    information that is not allowed to be going public.

    My opinion, They (US/Englnad) made a deal with Mladic.
    He took the enclaves, but he did not have his military/militia under control.
    But I can be wrong.
    I wonder if it was planned by Mladic.

    It is just a very sad episode of history.
    And maybe one day the truth will come out.

  19. Re:So... on Iran Launches Payload into Space · · Score: 1

    Call me naive if you want,

    but when I would run a country I would make sure I would have a nuke.
    Not enough to attack any country or MAD, but enough to deter any enemy from full scale attacking my foreign nation.
    The USA would think twice deploying the current amount of ships if they knew Iran would be able to drop a nuke on them in self defense, this reduces the change of massive troops build up.

    and about history, i would advise you to see "The fog of war"
    It is a documentary of/made by the minister of defense of Kennedy.
    As he tells it it went a little different, and i think he knows it better than you.

    They almost blew up the world on several occasions during the Cuban crisis.

    As for the bomb. It has long been considered a bad thing to let other get it. It isn't because they need it to defend themselves or anything. It is more in the opinion that we know we won't use it unless it was used against us but we cannot be certain they won't.

    If there is anything bush learned the rest of the world is,
    We only take you serious when you have nukes.

    I think some neighboring country can confirm this

  23. Expert reaction on Storing Wind Power In Cold Stores · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Hi I am running a company that implements a lot of software for most of the dutch electricity company's

    There is a special communication protocol used to communicate between these electricity company's
    It is called EDINE and is based on EDIEL which is again based on EDIFACT
    One of these messages QUOTE-RRV is specifically used to trade over and under production.
    But is also used to trade possibility to not consume for a certain time.
    Which effectively lowers the demand for a period of scarcity

    This is used a lot in aluminum factory's that can effectively shut down for a day when there is a problem in a power plant
    Of course if the same can be done for cold stores that is great.

    Most of those company's are very wanted by electricity company's and they normally have very lucrative contracts
    almost getting there electricity for free.

    Hydrogen plants would be also very good candidates

    This is done a lot in Norway,

    There they have double water dams/basins one high one low.
    During peak hour the water is rushed down for electricity.
    During night they buy cheap French nuclear energy to pump water back.

    We called this making green energy from nuclear energy
    (btw i am not against this scenario, but the energy is not really green )
    Also a lot of energy is lost in the transportation from France to Norway

    Better solution, combine it with windmills on the mountain ridges

  25. Above posts are wrong, the dutch taxsystem is brok on Uncle Sam Spoils Dream Trip To Space · · Score: 1

    Above posts are wrong, the dutch taxsystem is broke

    It is not that the tax brackets directly cause you to earn less, but income depending benefits.
    The mayor one was indeed the health system that above some income forced you to very expensive insurences.
    The other mayor one is house subsidie, in short you earn more, you don't get it any more.
    But there are a lot more, which counted up together result in a net loss when you have a raize.

    Another example about the injustice in holland.
    We as a couple had state help while studying, but were only allowed to make a certain amount in side jobs.
    Then the company where my wife worked changes his structure and as a result pays out saved holidays.
    The result we get above the amount what could be earned and loose the whole benefit.
    It was better for us to NOT work.

    Also the more specialized your job, the more time you spent in traveling as the workplace is likely further away.
    these 2 to 3 hours extra traveling is not paid, though any john doe working 5 minutes from a plant finds he has the right on the same payment, or even sitting home scratching his #$%^ and wants money.

    and that is the problem with holland, people are very hard incentivated to NOT work, to NOT study.
    although this has changed the last few years,
    anyway I understood very well how holland would not be the the country for people that have opportunities.
    In the end you will still have nothing, in short your ass and everything belongs to the state, from birth till death.

    So I emmigrated as do a lot of dutch.
    As a result holland has almost a population decline.

    well good luck for the ones staying behind.
