If the mounts are not too expensive it could make financial sense to even out the curve in the mornings and afternoons, especially as more and more solar comes online the price you get for your power will be higher if generation is offset from most other solar farms.

In the camper image it has a luggage box a sort of roof case.

And 5. no helmet necessary! They actually did make a concept version of this, the C1-E: https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/global/tv-footage/detail/PF00...

This is already the case in Europe. We have:

Pedelecs up to 25 kmh, motor only supports pedaling, max 250 watt

- Regulated like bicycles

S-Pedelecs up to 45 kmh, motor only supports pedaling; and e-bikes with a throttle

- Need helmet (specific ones, not any bike helmet)

- Need license plate

- Need insurance

- Need small motorcycle driving license (included in car license)

- Minimum age 16

- Can't use bike paths

In pretty much all of Europe e-bikes with a throttle are considered a type of mofa/motorcycle (depends on top speed) and come with all kinds of additional rules, such as needing insurance, mandatory helmets, having to drive on the road, license plate requirement and at type of motorcycle driving license for the fast ones.

If I understood the article correctly in this case the pedals are not physically connected to the wheel, it states the pedals run a generator that charges the batteries. So for this specific bike it would actually be possible to remove the belt (save for the other disadvantages of a hub motor).

Isn't the percentage of the world population that gets internet via Starlink very low? Also, how was the US government involved in the creation of Starlink?

About 80 were seized in raids, SpaceX disabled 2500.

Some time ago I tried to tell my email address to someone in Japan over the phone who did not speak English very well. It turned out to be basically impossible. I realized later one could probably come up with a phonetic alphabet of English words most Japanese know!

It's very nice, but I think he should expand on why hash tables are fast/constant time lookup. It's a central concept to why the index makes the db fast.

I doubt that's legal here in Germany. Well known sites are https://www.idealo.de/ and https://geizhals.de/. But https://www.google.com/shopping should work anywhere no?

Also his route linked above shows he actually went all along the northern and eastern coast of New Guinea before arriving in Australia, at that time news was probably hard to get in that part of the world!

Here is some general data: https://appliance-standards.org/blog/how-your-refrigerator-h... Data is shown only up to 2014, modern ones use more like 300-400 kWh/year.

All German ones have water softeners I think, also most modern ones have a large flat water tank at the side that acts as a heat exchanger and condensation surface, and also saves water from the last rinse cycle to use in the first wash cycle the next time it's turned on.

Why not those that track many different stores? For many things Amazon never has the best price.

Both BirdNET-Pi and BirdNET-Go provide statistics pages with similar plots where you can choose birds and date ranges, but they are not as polished.

Thanks, I had hoped there was a tool I could just feed my csv data into...

Google research also recently released their Perch v2 model, which identfies 10k birds and 5k other species' sounds (and human noises). https://deepmind.google/discover/blog/how-ai-is-helping-adva...

Very nice, I wonder how this was made, couldn't find anything on his github.

https://www.tokopedia.com/ is the Indonesian Amazon. You can get everything it seems, also grid-tied inverters, but the prices are higher than in Europe from a quick check. Probably import taxes.

That they shut off is important for a more obvious reason: The microinverters plug into a normal outlet. So the flow of power is invented to the normal situation, here the prongs of the plug are energized. The body that writes the electrical regulations of course wanted a mandatory special plug and socket that had to be installed by a licensed electrician, which mostly makes balcony solar financially a non starter. Finally they relented after much discussion.

Kerosene cookers are still very popular in Indonesia, or gas from portable bottles. I've not seen gas refrigerators, but maybe some people also have them.

The main reason one would use Magic Wormhole is that the devices do not need to be on the same LAN...

I'm pretty sure a pig raised for donor organs will be better cared for than one raised for cheap pork chops...

This might be an extreme example, but with Saudi Arabia's Absher app you can do almost everything related to government services, IDs and passports, car and driving licenses, visa, all kinds of permits etc. Other countries may have similar apps.

The article states than an estimated 75 billion dollars have been lost since 2020, the corruption goes way beyond local cops, and in Myanmar probably involves the government directly. Whole cities are being built for scamming. https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2025/sep/08/m...

In the article it says some victims were allowed to withdraw small amounts, and one says he got it as a gift card. So that's where all those gift cards from the email scams go...

I doubt that, it seems the investment websites used are entirely fake, they probably just use crypto because it's well known and sounds good to many people. They might however just as well promote fake investments in stocks or something else.

I don't think containers that come from the customer are allowed behind the counter here for food safety reasons.

You're joking, but a few bioinformatics tools use the Burrows-Wheeler transform to save memory, which is a bit like sorting the bases.
