"Electricity consumption will increase from the current approximately 83 TWh to 103–123 TWh by 2030 and 104–159 TWh by 2035."

That is the estimate by the transmission system operator Fingrid. Note that energy consumption and electricity consumption are two different things.

In Finland there aren't any political parties talking about shutting down nuclear power.

Yes, it is just pr that now that Google invests with Fortum the price wont rise. Its basically just smokescreen.

Not really. Situation now is totally different to what it was when Germany made those decisions. In Finland shutting down nuclear hasn't really been something that has been discussed seriously in very long time.

No public money needed, it is easily profitable to do without.

And to answer your question: yes I and everyone else in Finland were willkng to wait and find out, it was and is not feasible option to shut it down in few years. If it actually was a realistic option this would have been big news for years now with the highly variable electricity prices we've had after the Russia attack on Ukraine.

Lol, it certainly wouldn't have been decommissioned in any case. For that to happen electricity consumption would need to be going down instead of up and Finland would need to have abundance of steady power to replace it.

Its pretty delusional to suggest that working nuclear plant was going to be decommissioned without this considering that electricity consumption is projected to rise rapidly. There currently is shortage of steady power in Finland so no nuclear plants are gonna be closed barring catastrophes.

Note that when Fortum was declined it was because two others were given approval. Lack of new nuclear in Finland isn't because no permits, but because Olkiluoto 3 exposed the real costs so Olkiluoto 4 was cancelled. Russia was the partner in the other one so that went to hell with the attack to Ukraine.

This is basically due to Google probably rightly believing that electricity price in Finland is going up due to all these datacenters and also a pr stunt that the current government loves because they can claim that they aren't allowing these datacenters to raise electricity price.

This isn't investing in power infrastructure in any way, there is no reality where that nuclear plant wasn't staying in operation as long as they can possibly keep it running in the foreseeable future. Basically only way Google and Fortum will be building new nuclear capacity is by Finland promising to cover any electricity price below 15 cents per kWh in the market.

Not really, healthy person can easily handle that amount of sugar. Has plenty of fiber to balance.

8 to 10 oranges per day being healthy or not is largely dependent what else you eat. Biggest issue there is likely teeth decay due to acidity.

Great drugs. Have dropped 10+kg couple of times and tried a few more with low carb. Dropped 20+kg with Ozempic and it boosted me to exercise. Its wonderful that even a string of bad nights don't push me to overeat: even if I eat more during the day it tapers of in the evening whereas before ut would just continue.

Looks like the links in the posts no longer work, but all the posts are readable and he goes through the work they did and why. They did a lot of usability testing for the ribbon. But anyways I have no horse in this race other than liking ribbon over 16x16 icons and menus, so no point in hashing this over.

Not really, it is much more discoverable for most people. If interested, MS UI lead has a blog about lot of the reasons for ribbon and on the research backing it https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/jensenh

Ribbon was better for most people who didn't have all the shortcuts in muscle memory. It is much more discoverable.

My recollection is completely different, software was really slow on contemporary PCs in the 90s. Spinning disks, single core cpus, lot more swapping due to memory being so much more expensive.

If you look at back pieces of old classic furniture made during hand powered tools era, its mostly very roughly finished. Professionals rarely had time to spend dicking around with stuff that isn't visible.

If only the speed was the big issue, but mostly it is the mass. Even with all the reckless cyclists there are very little fatalities where cyclist runs over pedestrian. Ultimately separating all groups would be the best, but heavy consequences for the heaviest road users is ultimately the solution.

So essentially what you are saying that because we couldn't catch the smart criminals who use e2e encrypted services we shouldn't catch the dumb ones either?

I find it pretty ridiculous to assume that any dev would comment on the inner workings of their employers software in any way beyond what is publicly available anyway. I certainly wouldn't.

> See, I feel like that's almost the exact opposite unless you assume Apple and its internal legal department is made up of the biggest idiots on the planet. If they were intending on just infringing this valid patent and trying to get away with it, then they've literally handed the world a paper trail that makes them look as bad as possible without a literal email being published in the newspaper from Tim Cook saying "Yea, just violate the patent".

They don't really need to be idiots. They just need to trust that there is a reasonable chance that Masimo won't do anything about it and if they do, there is reasonable chance that Apple wins in court and if they don't there might be appeals and if not they might have come up with better non-infringing tech and if not then they can come to license agreement with Masimo. With that train of thought I think its pretty reasonable that Apple acted the way they acted.

Not really good if AI can run around it but to normal people it exists as before.

This. No matter how intelligent you are, you can not make connections between things you don't know about. If you externalise all knowledge you are ultimately just extension of that knowledge source.

I guess you use what you are familiar with, but using react for doc site instead of using some off the shelf static site generator/cms with caching seems like wasted effort. More fun from dev point of view with react no doubt.

Originally in the W. Royce article from the 70s it was a strawman put up by Royce. He then went on to define much more reasonable iterative model.

Unfortunately the strawman was what started getting traction.

Yes, it is pretty weird to think that VB.Net flavor was fairly used in web dev even as late as 2006.

This would basically guarantee that regulators would inevitably separate either Youtube or Chrome from Google.

> Other than the fact it seems to be an industry standard so it's good for your job prospects, what are the benefits to Terraform over CloudFormation/CDK or whatever the equivalent is for your particular cloud provider?

For me the killer feature is that both plan and apply show the actual diff of changes vs running infrastructure. It makes understanding effects of changes much easier.

At least in Finland this is common knowledge and pretty much every house has rhubarb growing in the yard somewhere.

When your employer is contracting people out against hourly rate you generally have to be accurate with the hours. When customers pay by the hour I find it quite reasonable. Also in some countries keeping track of hours worked is required by law for the employees benefit.

Largely depends on the market, where I am used iPhone 11 without major flaws costs little over 300 euros.
