In the article it's said the proposal already included 160 plants in a big ring around yellowstone, resulting in the 16,000 years figure. So to get it down to 100 years you'd need 160^2 = 25,600 geothermal plants. Perfectly reason

Until extremely recently, they did offer exactly such a service, though only in a handful of markets (mine was one). They called it Premium Lite. It was exactly what you want, a much lower priced subscription which just removed ads, and did

We've been running Jira on prem for years, paying for server support renewals etc. We'll likely be running on prem as long as is reasonable without support, and then moving to an alternative - maybe gitlab. Atlassian lost our busi

Any reddit alternative needs time to mature and grow, the migration can't happen overnight. Unfortunately, unlike when we had Reddit already growing when the Digg exodus happened, there doesn't seem to be any pre-grown option this

The advice we get in New Zealand is to get underneath something strong like a table. Sitting where I am now I could probably make it under a table in under 5 seconds. The bigger effect maybe is that prepares you mentally for the impact, so

I've used Firefox as a daily driver for over 15 years, and while I do think it treats me more like an idiot than it used to, and don't like that, I still feel far more in control, trusted, and able to configure it than I do with c

Very cool, though I'd imagine you'd have a pretty good chance of success at just sending the power over that 110m ethernet span.

The sun is always shining somewhere on earth, so maybe it's possible [1] to connect all our grids together and transmit power from the light side to the dark side. Whether this is cheaper than buffering the power in huge energy storage
