Working on the uniprot services that might be used from the connector it would be nice to learn if this uses public resources or if there is a private anthropic copy of certain uniprot data sets.

And the Swiss CFF also thinks it is under spending on maintenance. Track maintenance last year was nearly 20% from its target.

Funnily enough, for a long time the lakes of Switzerland had been stuffed into a database table of municipalities at SwissTopo for 2 decades before that was refactored out. Or at least I recall having heard this story.

Yes, and no, maybe ;) the economic incentives are designed to always provide enough power and no more at the cheapest possible point for that time slot. The market (if free enough) searches for that point over time. One possible solution may be peaker plants (this was financially so in the burn fuel age) another maybe overbuilding (e.g. your home backup or off-site generator power that are sized at peak load/demand, not the actual demand). All constrained by what is physically possible on a grid.

Peaker plants gamble that there are going to be peaks (sure financially plan for but they are not guaranteed to make their profits).

In the peaker plant categories the storage options are different from the spin options because the incentives are slightly different. Specifically battery storage is not just a peak plant exercise it is a grid connection optimization exercise. Grid connections limit how much power one can sell from a generator. A battery system can be placed on the grid or between the grid and the generator. In the case of between grid and generator, it allows a generator to run at it's optimal speeds more often than not, and sell more because one can guarantee a wider range of output for a longer amount of time.

Some of the first battery storage systems were sold to gas peaker plants because it allowed them more time to react. i.e. idle at a more efficient level their gas turbines or even shut them off and start them on demand.

The plants that are willing to give supply for the most negative price are the ones that will not be curtailed. So market forces. Basically at such points power plants are paying for the privilege to be allowed to supply power. This is dominated by restart costs and as such is often paid by classic "baseload" plants such as nuclear ones. i.e. they will accept losing money during one part of the day/week so that they can make money during a different part of the day/week.

Primary energy compared to electricity as energy. The first adds energy used in driving, chemical industry etc. the second is just the amount of electricity generated.

I was wondering how the existing case law of translated works, from one language to an other works here. It would at suggest that this is an infringement of the license especially because of the lack of creativity. But IANAL and of course no idea of applicable case law.

There is a significant fine to be paid by the non delivering supplier. This still happens and that is why there is also an auction for reserve power. Oversupply is fined even higher as that is also bad for grid stability.

RDFa/Microdata is more interesting for people whom sell objects instead of content. e.g. marking up that a page is about a kitchen cabinet that is 60cm wide and in the color white might lead to more sales in the long run. As people whom are looking for 60cm wide cabinets might get to your page instead of one about one 36 inch wide.

I am partial to the approach in https://www.expasy.org/about-chat ;) so yes I can think it can help. Mostly though the use case becomes interesting when you deal with multiple graph databases e.g. UniProt + WikiData etc.

If it is just to query one single dataset that is already in one tool it is less compelling.

Yes, it is super sad :( a real pity that a cheap but useful resource gets taken out almost by accident.

Safe, also means that the application does not crash in funny ways with segmentation faults. Which is something that banks like a lot.
