You might have watched too much Chernobyl. It's not true that an irradiated person becomes itself radioactive. Once a potential radiation contamination (radioactive dust and material) is cleaned from a person, independently of how much

I checked and it looks like ETS are increasing prices of gas produced electricity 20-30€/MWh. So not little (although peaks are around 140€/MWh). But these are taxes that can be used to reduce the reliance on gas (actually, it&#x2

It's unfair you're being down voted, you're right. I used to think that we could get by with just solar wind and batteries, but then after collaborating with people on an ideal energy mix the numbers were obvious: there is a

Capital costs starting to dominate doesn't mean that they increase. If capital costs are 10 and operating costs are 90, but later operating costs become 1, the capital costs remain 10 and the price to recover the capital costs is the s

It's an auction, it's called marginal pricing. Every producer bids for x KWh at a certain price (for each time slot), and the cheapest y KWh to cover all demand are taken, and all are paid at the price of the most expensive KWh bo

Catholicism has been in general against contraception. Of course it's still used, but probably at lower rates. Non protected sex leads to pregnancy at a much higher rate than protected one. I expect it to be similar for other similar r

This comment consider employees (people) as if they were algorithms to maximize personal revenue. That is not necessarily true. If FB where a place where people could feel proud of the good it does, a lot would be ok taking a pay cut. Sure,

This is what I saw. But I think it would be good to share the experience of a big, mature company with it to show that it's a system that can work, and can be easily added to companies which currently have a multi repo approach. Also,

They do, the repositories define dependencies, so when you change something everything that depends on you is rebuilt and tested. This prevents breaking changes, both for your dependencies and your reverse dependencies, identically to a mon

Like some people, I was expecting to find a way to have the advantages of a monorepo while having projects in separate repos. This is something Bloomberg is doing, and it's very cool. Each project is a separate repo, but they have a ce

Bloomberg let you do philanthropy work during working hours, and they assign you some amount of money depending on the hours you do that you can donate to charity. I met a few people during such events, which is more or less what you say: y

True, but that was because no one had social media. Now that a big majority of people have it and interact over it, if you don't have it the chances of being marginalized are higher. When everyone was using SMSes to chat, how did the k
