The problem is always the next model, or the one after. If china thinks it's beneficial to stop open weight releases, it will stop them. Then you are stranded on that one and no local industry to produce new models for you.

While spinning, the blades store a miniscule amount of kinetic energy. After removing power even that small amount ends up as heat through friction ( both in the bearing but mostly in the air turbulence). And the blades end up in the same z

Overhead high voltage conductors are not insulated with a coating, probably for many reasons but certainly for cost and heat dissipation. That means the path through the air to some conducting materials needs a certain distance, and that ev

This view is just very extreme, it is much less zig zag. It is just mounted to the wall at the high points and slack in between. Certainly there is also a reason for the exact amount of slack like thermal expansion. https://cdn.c

The money you buy stock with l goes to the former/selling shareholder, which is most often not the company. It is possible the company is holding its own stock and selling for cash, or emitting new shares for cash, but that is much muc

Remember that you are supposed to replace the entire thing because the other components like the sensor or simply capacitors also age. It is a very cheap safety device and simply not worth taking any risks by stretching it to say 15 years i

I'd guess that they used to have very good discounted contracts but are not able to renew them anymore. The cost they charge also includes the cooling, so you could see it as for example 30c/kWh for power, 15c/kWh for cooling

I do not understand why one would fetch stacks of paper from the bank if one believes toilet paper is the more valuable type of paper you should hoard and maybe also trade with. Seriously, why would the end of fiat cause a bank run? I would

I'm sure there is and will be demand for good static IPv4 tunnel brokers. I'm personally fine with dealing with dynamic DNS and port forwards for my home setup for now, but once I no longer have a public IPv4 assigned I would be a

You would debug an unikernel just like you can debug the OS kernel. Either it brings its own internal "remote debugging API", or the hypervisor helps you with that and provides interactive tracing/debugging features and dumps

Since the Eula comes with the driver, hetzner (and other hardware rentals) shouldn't be covered directly. They don't download and install the driver for you, so aren't a party of that contract in any case.

Puppet rules are typically applied constantly in short intervals. The installed version should always be the same everywhere, the latest available from the repository. The risk is more that you can get updates installed at inopportune times

In the context of renting one of their VPS this is fair criticism. The information handed out by Hetzner is not adequate regarding their exposure and timeframe for patching. It's been several weeks since the public disclosure, and if t

The VPS's were never billed hourly, so you wouldn't have used them in a cloudy, disposable, dynamically scalable way.
