If you go into the detailed explanation (and can read French) they do have some hydraulic pumping included in their “batteries” section.
In their 100% renewables scénario on a peak consumption (105gw) hour and peak energy production (sun at zenith) they would store the excess production like such:
Also even in their most nuclear scenario (50% nuclear, 50% renewables) they still include 7.2gw of water pumping.
I’m curious of why you put so much value in water pumping? As a Quebecois I have a small notion of how disruptive (flooding of vast areas of land, massive amounts of concrete, dead rivers downstream of the dam ) water reservoirs for hydroelectricity can be and I have a hard time imagining a viable way of relying extensively on that technique.
It’s pay walled but how would China enforce that ruling? Ban all of Intel’s transactions with Chinese entity? Fines?
They article mention it’s more about discouraging teens from starting smoking than making current smokers quit.
It kind of make sense since you start smoking by receiving a single cigarette not by buying a pack. I know at my high school a lot of smokers started smoking by buying individual smoke from the smoke pusher
It’s ok we’ll just use more fentanyl
Early this year forest fire fighters in Alberta were complaining that new houses have so much plastic in them that they were combusting and consumed in like 5 minutes making saving them impossible and slowing the fire’s spread harder.
I’m having a hard time finding the quote. I found this explaining houses burn faster now than before because of plastic https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/modern-homes-burn-8-times-faster-than-50-years-ago-1.1700063
Considering the ridiculous heat of those forest fires 5 minutes is believable
The entire game story is a reflexion on cast/class in society albeit set in a medieval feudal world where nobles wage a war that brings suffering to the peasents who thus starts a revolution
It’s “Final Fantasy Tactic”. I’m currently playing the android port and played the original PS1 one a lot. It’s in my top 5 favorite game for sure
I didn’t really follow up on it. Maybe it was just politician saying stuff or it’s banned but not enforced so nobody cares
Apparently, from articles I read about the Canadian law, Australia tried something similar but fang got it reversed.
The problem is that Canada is a small market. FANG doesn’t need the revenue from it but they would hate for these laws to become popular so they’ll try to make an example out of Canada.
Canada just passed legislation forcing Google and face book to pays for each showing (or redirecting?) of a Canadian news url. The law aims at redistributing money from internet giants back to news sites. Google and Facebook are threatening to just outright stop including Canadian news URL.
It’s a bold move from the government, I’m not for how I feel about it.
What’s the name of that safer alternative?
In Montreal an Airbnb cought fire and killed 6 guests and one tenant because the owner converted a house to multiple Airbnb ignoring all regulation (including fire marshal rules)

The province ended up banning Airbnbs but I don’t know the details of the bag

If you don’t disrupt anyone your protest has the same impact as an angry letter.
In Canada the only protests that accomplish anything are when a group blocks a road or a railroad until a very specific request is met. What typically happens is they get removed by police but I’m the background they get concessions so they don’t block another road in next months
Did the west just out bid Russia and turn their mercenaries against them?
“Google is in every part of this value chain. As we see it they hold a dominant position in both the sell side and the buy side in order to favor their own ad exchange,”
I have seen ad tech middlemens that ~75% of the ads they “buy” come from Google dv360 and ~75% of all ads they sell was to Google ad manager.
The only close competition to Google is Facebook and Amazon mostly because they have their own closed garden big enough to sustain ad exchange. On the open web (random apps and websites) it’s all Google.
It is a social issue. People being incapable of taking care of themselves is inevitable. All civilizations had these issues. Families, churches and general generosity of neighbors have always been used to mitigate this.
Now with the wealth gap increasing and the individualistic philosophy in our society with not noticing and tending to these early on. We only notice once the person is a full blown junkie. Many needed help for a a short moment in life and could of become autonomous after, many are both permanently incapable of autonomy. Either way society have to deal with them. We have enough resources! For the price of just one of those opulent pick up we could probably shelter one person for 2-5 years.
