Another greenie BS. Some old plants were decommissioned but new plants were also built and existing plants were expanded. In 2011 the brown coal was at 19.85GWt and now it's at 20.90GWt, hard coal was at 25.72GWt and now it's at 28.32GWt, natgas was at 27.25GWt and now it's at 29.89GWt (source: https://www.energy-charts.de/p...). Victory for the environment!
Oh, stop that BS. Germany's power grid is going into a shithole and they're propping it with hastily expanding coal and natgas generation. That 2020 targets for CO2 emissions? Who cares about them!
Greeny idiots keep parading the peak numbers for renewable generation (now 100500% of the consumption!) but they conveniently forget to mention troughs. For example, this January the renewable production was 10% of the normal due to unusually cold weather with little wind. For about 2 weeks. Had Germany relied only on renewables they would have had thousands people dead from hypothermia.
I don't know. I studied math (MS level) and some physics but I haven't used a calculator even once. It was either symbolic calculations with trivial math or complicated numeric models here a simple calculator is useless.
It does seem useful for more applied sciences like chemistry where you have to deal with frustratingly real numbers all the time.
But it's convenient to have that information and be able to use it to blackmail and/or put pressure on someone if it's convenient for them. For example, threatening to let the wife know, or simply discrediting someone by exposing their furry hobbies to the public at large.
Does this actually happen? I've read such scary stories many times but I've yet to find examples of such behavior in the real world.
Really, is you are a serious political player then a sufficiently evil government is probably already watching all your actions through various means of surveillance. Otherwise this data is pretty much useless.
Besides which, you assume that just because something's legal now it won't be made illegal. Not because the government gives a damn about that issue in itself, but because- again- it's convenient to be able to hold these "crimes" over peoples' heads if necessary.
Mentally ill beggars or the ones who are physically or mentally incapable of work should get help in the form of housing, healthcare and a reasonable monetary help.
Do you want a paper trail leading back to:
-pornographic purchases?
-medications? (how about STD or mental illness stuff) ....
Cashless purchases don't mean publicly available purchase history. And the government doesn't care a bit about your porn habits (as long as it's legal). Also treating yourself for STDs without getting regular blood tests to monitor progress is extremely stupid.
Have you noticed people getting shy about googling stuff now that they know they're being tracked online? Imagine that shyness extending to EVERYTHING. Every purchase. So basically everything.
Newsflash: people already buy most of their stuff using credit cards, especially Internet pr0n.
Plus, if you actually physically have money, the government can't just disappear it with the click of a button
They sure can. Just put you into jail for contempt of the court until you pay up. Seriously, if you're depending on cash to protect you from government then you've already lost.
1) Privacy is a human right and 2) cash is the only scheme that preserves it.
Seriously? That would simply mean that there's going to be a cottage industry of proxy purchases. And a sufficiently stupid evil government can do all the activities from your list right now, no need for all-electronic transactions.
Oh, seriously. Stop that crap. Government doesn't care a shit if you buy bunny-fur bondage gear or pay strippers. And by paying in cash and carrying a gun you don't fight oppression, you're just being an idiot.
Nope. Real fights for freedom are won and lost at courts, political rallies and in elected offices.
"Over a pair of superchargers" means that if two Teslas are charging on the same SC circuit then each of them will only get 60kW. A single Tesla can draw up to 120kW (I routinely get around 115kW on SCs when the battery is almost empty) but that does taper off with the increasing battery charge.
Tesla is up to 150kW in Europe (120kW in the US). Hyundai Ioniq supports 70kW according to this site: http://insideevs.com/hyundai-i... . So nope, still no other car with similar capabilities. I don't doubt that this will change in future, but for now only Teslas can really the full supercharger capabilities.
Right now there are NO cars on the market that are capable of accepting full Tesla supercharger power. Tesla did say that they're open in future to collaborating with other automakers, though other automakers don't seem to share that desire.
Sure. If you're doing slimmed-down devices where evety KB of RAM counts then systemd is not really needed, busybox and static init scripts are the way to go.
Surprisingly, servers are a good fit for systemd - a lot of modern devices and services come and go asynchronously, so writing reliable initscripts without something like systemd is not easy.
Quite a lot of people need to write initscripts. Debian has several thousand packages with init files, and any of them might be broken in the same way.
And by the way, your argument is self-defeating. If you don't need to write init scripts then why do you care about systemd?
An example of real-world problem: crappy init scripts. With sysv-init a shutdown sequence can hang forever, for example. It's not a theory, it happened to me personally: https://lwn.net/Articles/61679...
Yes, there were multiple votes. Debian's technical committee voted for systemd, OpenSuSE committee voted for systemd, Fedora (that was independent from RedHat at that time) adopted systemd before RHEL.
I'm also a systems architect and I have built rather complicated event-driven systems around systemd. Systemd worked just fine for me, without any unexpected problems.

Why would you need to do a division? Use symbolic answer or make sure that all numbers are trivial to do mental math on.
Really? Why a calculator? No problems in math apart from specialized areas should require a calculator.

And so you're going to pay cash to fix that. Yeah, right.
How do you give your child pocket money?
Send it to their phone. Children can use WePay just as well as adults.
Tip to a beggar?
Get rid of beggars.
There are millions of situations where cash is best
Not really, apart from illegal drug purchases.

Ammonia is NH3 (ammonium ion is NH4+). The densest hydrogen storage is BH3 (boron hydride) with 23% of hydrogen by weight compared to 17% in ammonia.

I had. The cable leading to the brakes got pulled loose from the lever and brakes couldn't be released.
