I think they are so corrupted, they los their only reason to be.

They could start fracking... now their industry is going down, energy is going up and they cant even see US.

Yeas, Slovakia has big military industrial complex.

Looks as if all the anti nuclear attitudes was inspired by somebody with a load of gas and 2 big pipes...

Germans have very weird relationship with russia. That we, east of germany and west of russia dont quite understand. They always think, that russia will be better this time. Quite naive. And dont want to anger it.

I am not sure about the speed, but the capacity is issue. It takes a lot of land to build a lot of hydro, damages ecosystems.

I understand, but there is no need to stabilize when you have big nuclear base load. EU is just burning money left and right. The transition could be slower, more green and more cost effective and with less impact on industry if it just wasn`t driven by fake "green" ideology. And antinuclear fear mongering.

What a waste of resources. The nuclear plants were up and running. Could be running for decated with good maintanance. The most of the costs were already paid. And now:

Germany won the European Union's informal approval to pay billions of euros to gas powered plants to be able to stabilise the grid when unsteady renewable energy supplies fall short, people familiar with the negotiations told Reuters on Friday.

People in my country are upset when gas and coal barons get rich. But we are making them rich by our wrong decisions.

But not very strategic.
kvgr··on Discussion on why SQLite is gaining popularity [audio]
Exactly, i have website that is visited by couple people a day and I just want to store some data on every action in one table + some settings in DB. Perfect for SQLite and anything else if overkill. Also if I ever want to rewrite it in the future its not a big thing, its just a database.
kvgr··on Lisbon, a city dying from its own success
That is great, and I hope it will work out. But IT only will not save country. We will see disparity between tech and rest and people will be angry again for tech in stead of tourists.
kvgr··on Lisbon, a city dying from its own success
World is changing too fast, Memberberries are strong. I get it that tuk tuks in Lisbon are horrible thinkg. There is lot of bad things happening with tourism. Built if you don't give people other opportunities to make money, they will choose easy ones, that are not the best. And I don't think rich people are going to lisbon, its the tastless mass that will chose the kitsch touristy stuff. When I go to spain or portugal, I try to find the most authentic restaurants.
kvgr··on Lisbon, a city dying from its own success
I can take 2 months of hot weather, if that means I don't have to deal with 6 months of cold, clouds and darkness at 4pm in winter.
kvgr··on Lisbon, a city dying from its own success
It is already kind of happening, properties are through the roof in Czech republic. Mainly big cities, wages relatively low. Europe overtaxes low and middle income people. Wants them to foot the bill for the retirees. No realistic retirement reforms in sight. It will only get worse until the countries collapse like Greece and need to reinvent themselves. It will be slow and then sudden. And people will lok everywhere else, than their own voting actions to find the culprit. No one will tell them, that they voted wrong for 40 years and now they need to deal with it.
kvgr··on Lisbon, a city dying from its own success
I dont get the down vote. Portugal and Spain are going to be taken over by gdp/person by Czech republic and Poland. Very poor countries in 90s. Spain has amazing weather, could be europe tech capital if they only could get their taxes and labor laws in order. Spanish developers earn less money than Czech ones… and it will onlyget worse for them.
kvgr··on Lisbon, a city dying from its own success
The city suffers from its countrys failure. Didn’t build proper economy, people earn low wages. Som now if tourists wave with money, people are happy to take their cash. Its not a success but a failure of south european economies that don’t understand how money is made except from tourism.
kvgr··on Thousands protest against Canary islands' 'unsustainable' tourism model
Inherently nothing, but you cannot build economy just on that. How would you import all expensive stuff on island? People would be unhappy that they don’t have jobs. People are never truly satisfied with anything.
kvgr··on Husband and wife outed as GRU spies aiding bombings and poisonings across Europe
Economic yes, used to be. But the hatred for russians in czech republic is real. Also we don't know what other conflict the ammo was supposed go to. And there is also a possibility of testing preparedness of EU and Nato.
kvgr··on Husband and wife outed as GRU spies aiding bombings and poisonings across Europe
Do you mean blow up ammunition before invasion? Not enough?
kvgr··on Thousands protest against Canary islands' 'unsustainable' tourism model
There is a lot of illegal accommodation and illegal housing. They are not able to catch that.. or they dont want to
kvgr··on Thousands protest against Canary islands' 'unsustainable' tourism model
It is a beautiful place, but without tourists its basically just goats and bananas.
kvgr··on Getting the Grid to Net Zero
I know how we can get rid of nuclear fuel. Coal is very very dirty... nobody challenges that
kvgr··on Phytomining – Extracting Minerals via Plants
I mean, go to Jachymov, plant some plants... success
kvgr··on AI instructed brainwashing effectively nullifies conspiracy beliefs
Yeah, but that learning does not really go well with religion and politics, deploying the same tactics as the school should be pushing against.
kvgr··on Neanderthals' use of complex adhesives shows high cognitive abilities
We cant even be civil with people of different skin color and eye/nose shape. And also made up stories about who told what, when about how we should live.Imagine the slave trades and all the suffering with other hominids. Neanderthals and denisovans somewhere in forced labor colonies and bred for work.. I think they were kind of lucky.
kvgr··on How did the settlers of the Canary Islands survive a millennium of isolation?
Sometimes the quantitative measures cannot comprehend the life satisfaction.
kvgr··on Getting fitter can reduce prostate cancer risk by 35%, study finds
But that shouldn't be handled by jumping into random diets. Better approach is people think there is something wrong, is to start strict elimination diet and gradually add different food groups.
kvgr··on Alzheimer’s cases tied to no-longer-used medical procedure
Over 900c for several hours vs 250 in autoclave... if Alzhaimers can spread this way, i am done, because I spent days in dentist chair...
kvgr··on Svelte Native
The example app is 5 years old. Is anybody using this?
kvgr··on "Amazonian dark earth" was the work of ancient humans
If you want to know more about this kind of topic, I am reading nice book about history of americas before europeans: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1491:_New_Revelations_of_the_A...
