Netherlands is mostly rooftop solar, which is easy and cheap to install there. No permitting required, previous net metering policies gave a very predictable ROI and cost is very reasonable: say 3k eur for 8 panels including installation, that would get you like 3000kwh/year. Panels would be just over 2k, the crew to get it done like 600-800 euros. Electricity ain't electricity cheap there to the point the ROI would be just a couple years with the net metering. You'd be stupid not to get it at that point and a few thousand bucks is a very feasible investment for most people without having to resort to financing.

I live in Texas now where there's a lot more sun and a lot more electricity usage (though it's cheaper per kwh). Panels and inverters are a significant percentage more expensive due to tariffs and stuff, but that's not even the biggest cost driver. It's the permitting and installation costs that make it so so so much more expensive. If I could get a bunch of panels on my roof for $5k, they'd be there already. But typical costs I'm seeing is low five figures which is well beyond my appetite or electricity costs.

There's been a lawsuit about this in Europe, couple years back. Employee won, breach of privacy according to Article 8 the European Convention of Human Rights. See https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-63203945

One of the oldest rules in F1 is that the driver must drive the car alone and unaided. That's been explained as no traction control, ESC, ABS brakes etc. etc.; Teams kept cheating so the only good way to prevent this was to standardize the ECUs.

They all run the same ECU and the same firmware on it, yeah. Teams can control some parameters though. It's to stop any kind of traction control.

"We're selling to willing buyers at the current fair market price."

There’s places where taking photos inside the voting box is illegal for this exact reason.

It is. We still run quite a few of them in prod and with 580 drivers they run just fine. Very useful GPUs still.

I think OP means more why politics hasn't changed this. Even at state level there's plenty of stuff that can be done about this but seemingly no one cares enough.

Temu has EU warehouses they appear to ship from: all return addresses I've seen are EU addresses.

They absolutely suck in HPC environments. Bunch of users running all types of code that can just LPE themselves to root, not a good scenario.

Capacitive touch screens when plugged in with cheap chargers to crappy waveforms, behave weird.

Samsung Galaxy S5 is the first one to cross my mind.

Better than expected as it's mixing userlands. We didn't put the entire /usr/lib of the old system in LD_LIBRARY_PATH but just some stuff like old libpng, libjpeg and the shebang. Taking an image of an old compute node still on RHEL 7 and then dumping it a container naturally worked, but at that point it's only the kernel interface you have to worry about, not different glibc, gtk, qt and that kind of stuff.

This looks like Rotterdam ten years ago

We (small HPC system) just upgraded our OS from RHEL 7 to RHEL 9. Most user apps are dynamically linked, too.

You don't want to believe how many old binaries broke. Lot of ABI upgrades like libpng, ncurses, heck even stuff like readline and libtiff all changed just enough for linker errors to occur.

Ironically all the statically compiled stuff was fine. Some small things like you mention only linking to glibc and X11 was fine too. Funnily enough grabbing some old .so files from the RHEL 7 install and dumping them into LD_LIBRARY_PATH also worked better than expected.

But yeah, now that I'm writing this out, glibc was never the problem in terms of forwards compatibility. Now running stuff compiled on modern Ubuntu or RHEL 10 on the older OS, now that's a whole different story...

Your capacity drops dramatically, by at least an order of magnitude if not more. The Jubilee line can do 30 trains per hour, 875 people per train is 26250 people per hour. Say an average minibus can hold 26 people, you'll literally need a thousand busses an hour to move everyone. And yes it all runs at capacity especially during rush hour.

Hit by A/C is negligible in most EVs. What you're saying is more that there is a current charger shortage, supply/demand will take care of that in the future.

Exactly, they can’t just pay the 5 million and call it a day.

Na, but under the Dutch legal you can go back to the court if they pay the 5 million without changing anything and ask if they can increase it cus it clearly wasn’t enough. They’ll just keep tacking zeroes on.

Per dollar sure but they’re quite a bit off per watt. Plus the software ecosystem is still not there.

Luckily they’re still compatible with each others containers. Can use Apptainer to build the container then run it on Singularity and vice-versa.

I can see the California or maybe even Texas AG go after them, wouldn’t be the first time.

USA is where the money is..

Languages need a lot of upkeep if you want to keep speaking them fluently. On the other hand, just like muscle, once you've had it it's a lot easier to get back than having to put it on for the first time.

Nope, used a Samsung CPU with PowerVR GPU.

Don't you officially have to prove there is no American fit for the job? It's being so much abused, seems that also needs some rework.

World Cup final, if you add up all streams worldwide?

The javax stuff really got us.

We run a ton of legacy cruft that's still on Java 8. Extended support is available until at least 2030. It's rock solid for us and migration is not easy unfortunately, even Java 11 is a challenge.
