Until you realize that not all heat is "waste" and the other 6kWh come back into play in winter.

"works". You're right but why does it sound so wrong?

"Shocking" amount of salt discovered in brine. News at 10. BTW, desalination plants also produce lithium-rich brine.

Played out? I'm either the most unlucky person always being downwind of some moron puffing away, or the war was lost a long time ago. You don't see tobacco brands plastered on F1 cars. Big whoop.

"deepfakes and cyber attacks" No mention of industrial-grade plagiarism. I guess that's a feature and working as expected.

Are you from the future?

It is very much possible to have a grid powered by mainly renewables AND have solar on your roof. Then the economies of scale work in your favor. You don't benefit at all as a consumer if fusion exists. You will pay for both the power you use and also your taxes will be used to subsidize the...

Are sharks involved. If so, I'm in.

Mr. Burns can and has blocked out the sun. But in all seriousness, if you have a conglomerate big enough to provide the supply chain needed for fusion, they will have the means to make it impossible or impractical for home solar to exist. Fusion can't exist without government subsidies and...

You win the thread.

Maybe because we would have to harvest all the matter in a solar system to approach anything even remotely close to a Dyson sphere?

Even if fusion became reality, would you prefer to be beholden to Mr. Burns for electrical power, or just make it yourself? There would only ever be only one or two companies that can manufacture the parts and fuel. They'll probably also be the only ones that can build the plants (think...

Cheap fusion energy is a bigger con than the promise of paying for your groceries with crypto.

Some issues haven't yet been captured by the culture wars so they slip through the net. Also, businesses know that this will never be enforced so probably made a calculation that "lobbying" would not be worth it.

The GET will be preceded by an OPTIONS request. The GET will never be seen by the target unless it responds to the OPTIONS request (no consumer router would ever do that). Edit. Just to clarify, a simple GET will get trough but as soon as you include a basic Auth header, CORS kicks in. So even...

CORS stops it. Edit. OrvGull covered this. Astonishing how misunderstood CORS is, so worth repeating as much as possible.

I've never understood what snaps are or why they are so hated. All I know is that my Firefox window becomes unresponsive for several minutes after resizing. It might be because my Firefox install is a snap. I can't be sure and I don't know how to check. That's one of this decade's frustrations...

From https://microsoft.github.io/garnet/docs They are embracing the RESP protocol. Sure, Redis are doing the extinguishing part already, so you got me there.

Looks interesting but remember, Embrace, extend, and extinguish

I still call Outlook.com hotmail 🤷‍♂️
