  • 'UK has been colonised by immigrants', says INEOS boss and Man Utd co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe

    Jump

  • Not just the UK. There is a coordinated push to use nationalism to replace democracy with oligarchy all across the world right now. The US is simply the most obvious example due to the orange one lacking any semblance of subtlety.

    People need to watch for and oppose media consolidation, anti-immigrant rhetoric, ballooning law enforcement spending, surveillance and online id requirements. These are all hallmarks of groups aiming to install an authoritarian regime.

  • New chemical trick pushes perovskite solar cells past 26% record efficiency

    Jump

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shockley%E2%80%93Queisser_limit

    Tl:dr The max theoretical efficiency for a silicon solar cell is estimated to be 29.4% with real world high end modules topping out at 26.8%

    26% in a lab is not the same as 26% in the field after 5 years, but it is nonetheless a good result.

    Solar scales out well, so low conversion effiency isn't really what determines whether an installation is feasible or not.

    If you're evaluating cheap 20% efficient panels vs expensive 25% efficiency panels, you need only scale up the area of cheap panels by 25% to match output. Plus, panels that start at a lower efficiency experience less derating over time, so the difference in performance diminishes as an installation ages.

  • US | Feds can't withhold social service funds from 5 Democratic states amid fraud claims, judge rules

    Jump

  • A conviction by the Senate is the only legal way to hold a rogue president accountable. The founding fathers foresaw the branches of government vying for more power, but they did not expect a congress to work with an executive against the interests of the people.

  • Judge orders Trump administration to unfreeze more than $16 billion for NY tunnel project | CNN Politics

    Jump

  • Minor notation quibble: I suspect you were thinking of the hecto prefix. Centimillionaire would imply a net worth of $10k which isn't going to get you the time of day from a republican.

  • Amundi says it will cut exposure to US over coming year

    Jump

  • The loss in trust may be permanent, but I think there is still a real desire to develop new good relations. If the US were to pass meaningful reforms and approach old allies on a more equal footing in real negotiation and not primarily the role as the big bad bully, I think a new framework of trust could be slowly built again.

    Joining the ICC and not threatening invasion if they dare try to hold an American accountable would be a good start.

  • ICE attorney who said ‘this job sucks’ removed from detail

    Jump

  • There have been a few of those, but it's always for DWI or similar when they aren't protected by their gaggle of goons.

  • YSK that every single thing Donald Trump is doing was predicted in this article published right before the election

    Jump

  • I don't recall the media covering the fake electors of the Jan 6 coup hardly at all. The media loved to cover the big violent crowd becaus it was flashy. However, the fake elector scheme was the more significant crisis in my mind. That showed a planned and coordinated effort by people in power to subvert democracy.

  • Elon Musk’s SpaceX acquires xAI, merging his two most ambitious companies | CNN Business

    Jump

  • SpaceX was his one good company thanks to the work of people like Gwynne Shotwell. xAI must not have been getting enough investor interest and rather than admit it's a stinker, he's shackling spaceX with it.

    If I were a spaceX investor, I would be absolutely pissed about this and talking to my attorneys.

  • Which living creatures can swim and fly, but not walk?

  • We need to add digging/ tunneling to the grid.

  • US DC fast charger deployment saw astounding growth in 2025

  • Thanks, Biden.

  • Judge in Minnesota Says ICE Has Violated Nearly 100 Court Orders

    Jump

  • The US Marshals Service serves the judiciary. Unfortunately, they're directed by the Attorney General which is a role currently occupied by a loyalist.

  • White House shows first signs of retreat as backlash grows over Minnesota killing | CNN Politics

    Jump

  • I think it was primarily the 2A special interest groups suddenly showing disloyalty that spooked the MAGA regime. They can't get away with rigging the midterms if the 2A groups aren't at least turning a blind eye.

    I hope Chris Madel dropping out implies that big donors don't want to be associated with the republicans right now. I really don't buy his conscience for his kids schtick.

  • Noem agrees to testify before Senate Judiciary in March

    Jump

  • “Secretary Noem refused to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee last year and now tells us that she will be available in five weeks—should she still be DHS [Department of Homeland Security] Secretary at that time,” Durbin said in a statement.

    Because they let Noem state her availability and she expects this to have blown over or have resulted in her firing before then.

  • Trump says 'deeply troubled' Lindsay Lohan, 18, must be 'great in bed' in resurfaced clip - NewsBreak

    Jump

  • Newsbreak straight up rips content with barely a mention of a source. I have a family member that shares their links all the time and I hate it because I have to search the title every time to find the actual article.

  • Trump v. Greenland

    Jump

  • Particularly it's meant to peel away at American exceptionalism mythology. The US really only excels at two things globally, finance and war.

  • Jensen Huang Is Begging You to Stop Being So Negative About AI

    Jump

  • The tobacco companies also complain about negative talk and regulation.

  • World’s first megawatt-level airborne 'windmill' feeds power to grid

    Jump

  • I would imagine that you would segment the lifting bodies so that a leak or rupture in one or even a couple wouldn't bring the whole thing crashing down. Ships don't sink from a couple leaks here and there. You would also monitor buoyancy. The tether site needs to have some sort of reel in capability for servicing.

    All of your concerns seem to be addressable through proper engineering considerations.

  • White House to end funding to sanctuary cities and states on Feb. 1

  • Johnson and Thune deserve a very large portion of the blame for everything that is happening.

  • Whenever I see posts about Lemmy activity counts.

  • They bothered to make a post about it, so surely they could in fact care less.
