Weiss jemand wie in der Praxis RT von Whatsapp gebannt wird? Heisst das man kann Nachrichten mit Links zu deren Seiten nicht versenden, oder was anderes?

They are going to spin it off eventually, aren’t they?

I’m just thinking survival, instinctively, and not about bystanders around me in that moment.

Kind of fair point for yourself.

However I expect more of a trained professional who has repeated firarms training. They should be sesitized to controlling their direction of fire even in an emergency.

Unrelated to triangles, I mean, sorry! Of course it’s very topical.

Great joke man! The unrelated Greek term plausibly masquarading as another geometical term, brilliant!

I vote that it should. Sounds like good drama, the kind you’d expect seeing a love-triangle tag on a fancfiction site.

It seems to boil down to the question of how much you believe in the Recs market working.

The way I understand those Recs is, they pay extra to have green energy produced, but it’s not in the location where they are actually using energy. So their actual energy use is much more grey than what they pay for, but they essentially say as long as the correct pricing signal reaches the location independant energy market this is good for green energy buildup.

Now the idea behind that must be that it’s more sensible to support green energy production in places where projects are being built, where they perhaps can be most efficiently built, rather than trying to bribe the local suppliers into building green energy locally, where perhaps the location isn’t even well suited. It’s kind of understandable from that perspective.

But I can see how there would be lots of corrupting influences here. The companies local to the green electricity producers can factually claim that the local power is greenly produced without paying for the Recs, and the remote companies can pay the Recs and claim they are supporting green energy. In the end you have a sort of double counting of the green energy, swallowing up some of the market demand for an actual buildup of more green energy capacity. Or even more nefarious, maybe a company could start issuing more Recs than green energy production actually justifies.

The system also masks out the issue of actually transmitting and storing the green energy from where and when it’s produced to where and when it’s needed. Even if you have perfect Recs accounting in the system, nothing guarantees that the pricing signals align time wise. Green energy prices should be higher during the night or winter, but that’s not reflected in time independant Recs.

And finally the existance of the Recs system absolves the data center builder from choosing a location where green energy can be produced or transmitted to. If this ends up placing a datacenter close to a coal power station, and then they buy Recs from a solar park in a desart far away. In the end this makes it harder for the local community to overcome the need for the coal power station. It might have been possible to build enough local green energy and storage without the datacenter next door, but once it’s there soaking up lots of local capacity it’s going to be much harder to replace the local grey producer.

are likely about 662% – or 7.62 times – higher than officially reported.

This annoys me. If the value is 662% higher than reported, then it is also:

• 6.62 times higher than reported
• 762% as high as reported
• 7.62 times as high as reported

Whether you use percentage or a factor doesn’t change the principle. “as high” signals a new value that is a straight multiple, “higher than” signals a change that is a multiple, so always assume a base of 1 or 100% on which the change is added.

By the way 1 and 100% is the exact same thing, and so is 662% and 6.62. Percent aren’t magical they are just a short form for saying hundredths of 1.

In everyday speech they also signal that you’re talking about a fractional value in relation to a different one that is hopefully clear from context. But it isn’t always and people abuse that too.

Maybe some Lua, as a treat?

If Qt or Java is doing it, then that’s still your program and not the WM, though?

They have offices and datacenters in the EU. So forced physical entry and interruption to their operations would be the next escalation step.

I love how this comment suggests every fucking alternative doesn’t or wouldn’t.

How did you get that from their sentence, what the fuck?

So Fuentes says that Trump can’t admit Trump lost, because that makes everything they did senseless. Which is what we’ve been saying all along.

I think he knew all along, but he saw the value in sowing doubt and making it part of his usurpation plans. If you can steal the executive branch and have enough people believe it was justified, because it was actually the counter reaction to a stolen vote, then you have an easier time of mystifying your history and maintaining international relations.

You know like the old playbook of brown shirts in Germany who ended the Weimar Republic.

The server is used for hole punching, to open up a P2P connection thorugh NATs and Firewalls. If it doesn’t work the server also relays the traffic between the clients.

Getting an end to end connection through todays internet is unfortunately not easy for an average user.

I’m in the state of Georgia: no provision for breaks are given at all.

Oh man that’s brutal.

I used to live in the UK: I think the rule was employers are required to give 30 mins per 10 hours worked, cannot be in the first or last hour.

Yeah here in Switzerland it’s similar to the UK rule. Any shift longer than 6 hours needs to be interrupted by an unpaid but uninterrupted break of at least 30min for eating, such that there isn’t more than a 6 hour continuous work period on either side of the break, IIRC.

Our standard for full-time employment is 8.4h per day. (That’s a bit high in comparison to neighboring countries). It’s very usual that you get your eating break somewhere between 11:30-13:30 o’clock, maybe on rotation with coworkers if you need to keep the phones staffed.

In my office job we all go together from around 11:45 to 12:45.

Is a proper meal period with rest not guaranteed by law?

Or is it, but it’s hard to fight for it because the workplace culture is shaped differently?
