  • He didn't have the resources and determination of the Chinese state behind him.

  • Just sitting outside, exposed to the elements, changing temperatures and humidity? What a brilliant idea.

    There's a reason we aren't doing this.

  • You need suitable locations. That's the main limitation.

  • The point is that this type of energy storage is very cheap relative to the amount of power it can store.

  • If it's so simple, why did a highly developed nation find no solution for it over the course of decades? There are no perfect containers that don't leak, there is no perfect storage location that doesn't have a chance of contaminating groundwater. The real world doesn't work like that.

  • The high cost also means that it'll take away funds that could have otherwise been used on much cheaper renewables. Nuclear energy is a terrible deal.

  • Yup. A significant amount of the fissile material in Europe used to come out of Russia. France, who is commonly held up as the arch-defender of nuclear power, is now fighting basically colonial wars in Africa for this stuff. There's a finite amount of it, it's costly to extract, costly to refine, costly to transport. Even before you've generated a single kilowatt of power, you've already done a lot of damage to the environment just for the fuel.

  • Hamas is less poplar in Gaza than in the West Bank, so the opposite seems to be the case.

  • That's a neat phrase. Did you come up with it?

  • Both reported numbers that were nowhere close to what Qualcomm promised. How not close? Above 50% this time but one used the term “Celeron” to describe performance.

    There is no harsher way to describe the performance of a CPU. Ouch.

  • Israel isn't a dictatorship. Yes, I know that Netanyahu is trying to erode democracy, but he hasn't been successful.

  • Given how much they are still whining about other Western sanctions, especially those covering high tech China cannot reproduce, I don't think they'll be all that relaxed about it.

  • They didn't bomb the Iranian embassy. Consider reading into where the bomb fell and who was killed.

  • There's not even remotely a consensus within Israel for new settlements in the strip. I consider this highly unlikely. Yes, some extremist settlers and associated building companies are hungry for it, because of course they are, but this doesn't mean things will be going their way.
