It still uses concrete, from the article.

I would suspect that Coal and Natural Gas generation plants use a lot of water for cooling. When the plant is designed to dump as much extra heat as possible, as cheaply as possible (for 100-degree days and ~200-degree hot water), things start to fall over when the cooling water freezes in the uninsulated cooling lines.
Or, it's pretty much lack of winterization and lack of a plan for this kind of cold.
Just speculating.
The nasa.gov link can be scrolled to show the iceberg's track.
If you want Free Software, then feel free to use something more potent than merely an "open source" license the next time you release something.
Examples:
• Apple
• Amazon
• Microsoft
• Netflix
• Red Hat
Bluntly put, do we want a trade war with China to go hot?
Screen will remain black. Or, screen will power on, display nothing. Or, screen will power on, mouse cursor will appear, but no password prompt.

How is that different than saying "you should be thankful I yelled at you" ?
It is in the balance between the upstream and the contributor that the community is created. Neither one gets final say; only by consensus can the community survive.
Sometimes a CLA is an appropriate way of shaping that community. I don't believe every CLA is such a good thing, but neither are they all to be shunned.
I think it's expensive, but possible.
Do you have data to back up your claim that no one, ever has ever successfully remained secure?
• Cook during the work hours, and see if you can tag team the cooking. Hilarious "failures" are the norm here.
• Plan and make a gift for someone meaningful to you both (if you're into arts and crafts, etsy-style, or any other kind of maker type activity)
• Take an online course together.
• Adopt a pet (unless you already have one, allergies, etc.)
The "No synth" argument - as you say, a good DAW with the right plugins completely covers the space. No one will ever need a physical synth again.
I guess we could both imagine a "Yes synth" argument for the counter.
In other words, I'm signalling that the power-dynamics players end up costing too much.
I believe these different ideologies can coexist. You can call me "nerds or people who don't have the work," I'll keep writing the free software and making the money.
I'm also free to continue to promote my ideology. No need for name calling.
As you say, "I'm not a douchebag" implies there's some kind of karma involved; when MySQL "went Oracle," the free-as-in-freedom choice of the developers was to start MariaDB and many in the community interpreted this as the developers' way of saying "I'm not a douchebag."
Oracle kind of has a reputation.
So in essence, if someone pays me when they were free to pay the off-brand hosting company, then it is a strong positive signal. Companies that Oracle-lock their customers are trading long-term profitability for revenue this quarter, as their savvy customers will immediately begin looking elsewhere for a competitor.
Basically if I grant you, the user, the freedom not to pay me, I can trust the signal that those who do pay me want more of my product.
Economies are all about signalling.
I won't put a persuasive essay here, but just say, I am optimistic about it.
I completely agree though that the label "Made in Japan" isn't present. In fact, if I remember correctly, "Made in $Country" labels are an import requirement that may in fact be a form of protectionism? I'm sure the argument could be made either way.
[1] Intel "'Forgot' to Mention 28-Core, 5-GHz CPU Demo Was Overclocked to such an extreme that it required a one-horsepower industrial water chiller" https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-28-core-cpu-5ghz,372...

[3] Intel allegedly paid manufacturers "rebates" to limit their purchases of AMD, ended up paying $1.25B to AMD and $1.45B more to the EU for the antitrust practices. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Micro_Devices,_Inc._v....
From the article:
Intel’s explanation for why AMD CPUs lose so much performance
on battery is that the systems wait for 7-10 seconds before
engaging turbo mode
... the settings that control the amount of time before turbo
modes engage and the overall performance delta between AC and
DC power are settings that the OEM controls, not AMD.
... Intel’s five comparison systems for itself came from MSI,
Lenovo, Intel itself (in the form of a laptop kit), and two
from HP. Intel is drawing on a much wider range of manufacturers
for its own systems. I don’t know anything about the NUC laptop
kit - haven't had the opportunity to test one - but I would have
preferred the fifth system be a standard commercial comparison,
and the AMD systems should have been drawn from an equally diverse
pool of hardware as the Intel ones were. There are four
manufacturers represented for Intel, and two for AMD.
...
When Intel gave its presentation, it made a point of calling
out the fact that Cinebench R20 doesn’t show the same behavior
as the other benchmarks it had chosen to highlight.
The "oddly" is straight-up FUD. Cinebench R23 also doesn’t
show the 30-48 percent pattern of decline Intel claims. Neither
does Corona Render. Neither does Handbrake. Neither does
JetStream 2. Neither does Blender 2.90. Neither does the
Blender 1.0Beta2 benchmark (not shown, but I ran it).I chose to buy from Guitar Center when I made my thousand-dollar purchase. And yes, the sales staff were difficult to work with, but I kept my receipt and when, two days later, I found an obvious defect, I was able to walk back into the store and get a replacement.
I was happy to pay a little extra up front because I was able to take the instrument out and actually use it before buying. (And I was able to bring it right back two days after I bought it.) It was well worth the slight surcharge to be able to inspect it before buying.
I wonder what my "extended warranty" means after the company is out of business? I'm pretty sure it's not worth the paper it was printed on.
It sounds to me like the author genuinely wants to have a discussion about some of the quirks in the USB protocol. I don't see anything wrong with pursuing all available options.
"ROB" and "OOO" might have gotten mixed together here.
OOO = Out-of-order. Refers to the fact that the M1 can decode instructions in parallel.
ROB = Re-Order Buffer. Refers to the stage where the parallel instructions get put back "in-order" and "retired."
The other factor is Apple is using a "better" process node (TSMC 5nm). I put it in quotes because Intel's 10nm and upcoming nodes may be competitive, but Intel's 14nm is what Apple gets to compete against today, right now.
Intel has been defeated in detail.
Specifically I know a lot of industry insiders have a dislike of some of Intel's practices. When S|A talks about them, S|A knows to take the "ranty" tone, as a means of signalling up front to readers, "Hey, this isn't going to be a bland slide presentation..."
