In Netherlands the fixed cost for city based heating is paid by the people who make use of it. That seems fair, but practically it means that it'll be cheaper for people to arrange their own heating system and rely on electric heating. This because the fixed cost is high. However, if everyone switches to using electricity the city based heating would overall be much cheaper solution than relying on electricity. This as currently loads use a gas solution and there's a huge cost involved to upgrade the electricity network.

The city based heating variable price is connected to the gas price. So even if city based heating per kWh equivalent would be cheaper, people wouldn't notice or get the advantage.

As a result, city based heating is very unpopular. Planned projects to switch entire neighbourhoods have been cancelled. Again, logical because people were really upset to pay significantly more despite insulating their entire home.

Seems that in Netherlands they'll ignore the problem and have the country be less cost effective and upgrade the electricity network for significantly more money.

The Dutch Financial Times did a few articles on above in the last 12 months or so.

Have you had CPR training? What you stated isn't true. Every second counts. But looking up instructions and seeing a easy video will still help massively.

Another reason is that he probably has hidden parts of his wealth and will likely lie to the accounting firm. Making it likely really difficult to do his accounting. And if there a mistake it'll cause difficulties for the accounting firm.

Loads of drawbacks for any firm, seems easier to not do business.

The judge doesn’t want to give Trump’s team any ammunition for an appeal.

It's still treating Trump different than most. If it's such a problem to put Trump in jail, why isn't it for any random person?

It's been reported that some employees helped carry similar boxes into a plane just days before the FBI (?) executed their search warrant. Meaning, there is likely more classified material in other properties owned by Trump.

The most important bit about this isn't how it'll be done. It's to convince people that a certain group of people is the cause of all of their problems.

It has been stalled

More like that it's been purposely blocked back by the Republicans.

This isn't Rust specific. It's really difficult to securely start a command in Windows. I highly recommend to read https://flatt.tech/research/posts/batbadbut-you-cant-securely-execute-commands-on-windows/.

Jesus christ these headlines mislead everything.

One article included how often employees needed to look at the cameras. That was the case in something like 80% of the times people went in to shop.

The goal was to train ML enough so that humans were rarely necessary, obviously.

The headline is pretty accurate. That might have been the goal, but they didn't come close. And now they are closing down those stores.

Seems that they utterly failed in the goal.

Machine learning has lots of errors until you train it.

These stores were open for a pretty long time. It's not a given that it's just a matter of training.

Those sites determine what they promote. Such sites often promote extreme views as it gets people to watch or view the next thing. Facebook for instance researched this outcome, then ignored that knowledge.

Fridge uses 143W idle

Isn't that like 1250 kWh on an annual basis of idle usage? An efficient fridge should use 150-200 kWh per year, this isn't just idle usage. Even an inefficient fridge would be really high with that kind of idle usage.

He showed us that the government sticks it's fingers into social media in ways that are illegal

That's what a few right wing media repeatedly claim but I haven't seen anyone actually providing any proof. Or do you mean the recent crazy judge decision?
