Stay strong, brother.
I think they say this because they’re in their 30s now and would prefer to still be in their 20s (saying that as a 40 is the new 30 guy)
My favorite Elon Musk conspiracy theory is that he’s planning to intentionally blow up the starlink satellites once he’s on his way to mars to Kessler syndrome earth for a few years so he can set up his kingdom there.
This is a good, short read. For those who are unfamiliar with the AGPL license that the author proposes we all start using, the main difference (and I am not a lawyer) is that under the AGPL, the source code including any modifications must also be made available to all users interacting with the software over a network. This prevents companies from making proprietary versions of AGPL software that are only accessible as a web service, which is one of the big ways that corporations are able to profit from GPL source code contributions these days.

Yup, typically I just mentally multiply by 1000 (nice round numbers). But obviously a 100MW farm in the Sahara is going to produce more in a year than the same 100MW farm in Germany. It’d be cool to see a list on a global scale that showed a table and maybe generation vs demand curves for the area they serve. Maybe I’ll put it on my “projects I’ll never get to” list.
Like capacity x capacity factor, e.g. if your 100MW site produces power 50% of the time (because of nighttime, clouds, etc) then it would produce, over the course of a year 100,000,000 x 24 x 365 x 0.5 = 438 GWh annually (very simplified).
Does anyone know of a site that tracks the typical GWh of these big installations?
I think these guys get headlines exactly because they target things that “belong” to all of us. PETA throwing red paint on some rich schmuck wearing furs? That might get a minute of airtime. But (safely) paint Stonehenge, throw baked beans on the Mona Lisa, etc and every news outlet will cover it.
When did we get away from saying “X - formerly known as Twitter” ? I liked seeing that gentle nudge in every headline.
Only a matter of time before Ministry for the Future moves from fiction to non-fiction (well, the horrible part at least. The part where humanity fixes things will likely remain a fairytale)
Are you talking about min-maxing, or like "chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' &c" ?
