I'm sorry but that is a bit ignorant on your part. Ecosystems and ecosystem services should not be underestimated. You could have a much bigger impact that you could think of.

Typically they offer you like 10 minutes to confirm the email. If you don't, you're out.

In the electricity market, futures (base futures or peak futures) are almost always used

Do you have a source on that ? It seems impressive !

I recommend everyone interested in this subject to read "Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty" by Daron Acemoglu

It's a great book that tries to explain why.

I have an account in a Swiss bank too. Never had any problem with it abroad (France, Spain, UK). I never hear from them and I love it. My card was stolen once and I received a call the next day, everything was reimbursed. When I call it's a human that responds. Good customer service as it should be.

That's completely false. It was true though with NiMH batteries

High towers have got the same land footprint, so yeah, it would work

The idea is great, but indeed it would induce a lot of preventable waste

What's the link with capitalism ?

That just shows you've got no idea what you're talking about

I still don't know why companies insist on only accepting a specific address format. As they said, every country has its own format: some with the house number in front of the street, other afterwards; some with a province, others not; etc.

A simple text box is so much simpler (enforce things like max width, max lines) and relies on the customer inputting their info corresponding to their local postal delivery. In an international context this is the right way.

Edit: the only thing that must be localized in the sender's locale is the recipient's country (Spain instead of España when sending from an English speaking country). Every thing else must be in the recipient's locale.

I deal with lots of devices we put on customers networks. The problem is that 172.16.0.0/12, 10.0.0.0/8 and 192.168.0.0/16 are all used by customer networks. It's a pain when setting up VPN addressing. Thus I chose 11.0.0.0/16 (sadly not possible to use IPv6). My devices will never need to reach DoD, so that's very convenient.

It's a shame that units are not understood by the system. Once imputed they should be stored as K or °C and then displayed as the user wants

Do you punish a human because of payback or so that it doesn't commit again the same error ?

À better law would be something around: "devices should be made so that they can be taken apart and reassembled at least n times".

That would discourage copious amounts or glue and still let the engineers use the methods they want.

I don't think so.

I have an industrial VPN with ~300 embedded devices behind them. For some reason the user wants to access to each one of it via https.

I thus set up an Apache proxy which proxies https://device_n.vpn.cust.tld to the VPN device (and some auth)

LE cant issue 300 certificates and it would be very ugly.

With SNI, what's the advantage of having a cert with 100 domains on it ?

Who supervises the servers ? Who creates Wikipedia ? Who defends Wikipedia legally ?

For those interested on a CLI counterpart, GNU units is more or less the same. The units definitions file is enormous

That's not true.

1) modern railway is fully IGBT powered. In this case it is trivial to inject current.

2) with DC current you need a substation capable of converting AC to DC (easy: bridge rectifier) but also DC to AC (to given tolerances) which is much more cumbersome.

Honest question: why not integrate ubuntu OS so you've got the whole User stack directly ?

It takes ages to load too on mobile: couldn't get past the loading wheel; a shame...

Can't you just dump the website using wget ?

One part is driving prices down because you've got a good IT optimising system, real time tracking, ease of use,etc. Ans another part is driving prices down artificially without making money just to choke the concurrence.

Or,you know, add another port..
