The point is that in order for Russians to use Starlink in combat operations in Ukraine, they first have to import them to Russia. All non-whitelisted Starlink terminals entering Russia should be immediately bricked to prevent this. It's an important part for denying Russians the use of Starlink.
Not to take away from NetNewsWires accomplishments, but getting it was such a disappointment. Adding insult to injury, I had to pay to get the app on my iPad. It was one of the few apps I paid for and all I got was a deep sense of wasted money.
Since the demise of Byline, I’ve been rocking Inoreader and have had no reason to look back.
All I miss is Google Reader, but that’s never coming back.
The only new thing I want in an RSS reader is a handsfree, voice only mode. Being able to listen to RSS articles and navigating by voice commands.
> I feel like the most sensible policy is requiring licenses for e-bikes above a certain power level (not easy!) and then bringing parity to the treatment of cars vs e-bikes after that
Au contraire, it is fairly easy.
Around here, e-vehicles are classified according to weight, power amd max speed. These parameters define where and how you can use them, what features are required, what protective gear is required and what licenses or insurance are required to operate them.
> When French nuclear plants get shut down for months at a time for maintenance what happens?
You reconsider your life choices and hire the Finnish to run your nuclear power plants instead.
> The reason why batteries and pumped storage and syngas arent popular is because they cant beat the economics of gas for peaking capacity.
It’s not even just the economics that rule out batteries and pumped storage. Where are you going to put all that pumped storage? Where are you going to get all the batteries you need? Not that many batteries are produced compared to the world’s energy needs.
The jury is still out on syngas. So far it’s expensive and inefficient. But it’s still early days.
> the fact its a horrible peaker
Why on earth would you run a nuclear power plant as a peaker? That’s inefficient and wasteful. You run a nuclear power plant at full tilt, all the time. Then you divy up any excess demand to other sources of power.
> So yeah, exorcising nuclear seems like a pretty fantastic idea, for cost, environmental and pacifist reasons.
This seems to be a wonderful idea, as long as you assume nobody lives above the 60th parallel and don’t mind on relying on CO2 producing power sources.
