Alphasite_··on UK unveils plans for huge lagoon power plants stretching miles into the sea
I'd assume that 35 years of inflation needs to be factored in as well, at 2% that would half subsidy by that point. Also, there is an inherent cost to green power, if it was cheap power companies would flock to build them of their own accord, but of course they dont, so the government has to subside them.
Alphasite_··on Swift and C# Quick Reference – Language Equivalents and Code Examples [pdf]

Its a little I Knox to say that when the U.S. is willing to break the laws of other countries when it suits them. Accessing EU data from the US is certainly illegal under that. The fact that the EU commission hasn't done anything about it is mother issue entirely.

I wont debate specifics of the letter of the law because I don't know them, but im not convinced you do either.

Alphasite_··on Remote code execution in Asus router firmware
Or, just use the Asus' own QoS system.The newer routers actually have a fairly fancy one. But neither of these has a way to limit directly by interface, do they?

Alphasite_··on Python idioms I wish I'd learned earlier
I'm not sure about pycharm, but i know for certain IntelliJ warns you about constant conditions like that. That said, he could have picked that example just to illustrate a point, rather than something it literally suggests.
