The repo linked “seeks to complement the tools currently used in the TYNDP cycles, especially for Scenario Building (SB) and Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA). This approach is designed to enhance transparency and lower barriers to stakeholder participation in European energy planning. Beyond Europe, the project aspires to demonstrate the viability of open-source (OS) frameworks in energy planning, encouraging broader global adoption.

To build trust in and ensure reproducibility with the new open-source toolchain, the project first focuses on replicating key figures from the 2024 TYNDP cycle, before aligning with the current 2026 TYNDP cycle. This process involves developing new features within the open-source domain to address existing gaps, integrating tools for data interoperability and dynamic visualizations, and publishing best practices to encourage the adoption of open energy models.”

Why this report is shared appears to be an application of PyPSA for others to reference and become inspired by its implementation.

Why it’s open source I think is clear from the above paragraph. Open source standards make it drastically easier to harmonise and collaborate while allowing as much engagement as possible to scrutinise the framework.

Your final question though is maybe worth a challenge. Why can’t both sides be in the wrong? I always find we are quick to make a problem quite polar without accepting the grey mush in between.

In this case, China has similarly also demonstrated its far reaching and abusive capabilities when given the opportunity (my thoughts around belt-and-road, Tibet, Uighurs and its own treatment of its people in its past). Your point on china not being in a war is also one that can be challenged, proxy wars have and continue to be a thing. China has played their part and continue contributing to active conflicts.

So it turns out the numbers are all valid. With or without AI they just misinterpreted the data. But indeed 2.9 billion records were stolen, whoever wrote this just clearly misunderstood that an individual could have more than 1 record associated to their person.

Either the pressure increases internally, liquid off-gases and needs to be refilled (where there is a finite amount left to use), or risk of components freezing up can all play a factor into how long a rocket can stand on the pad for. As a result it’s less a question of how often can they delay the launch and more a question of how long can the rocket stay out on the pad for you to delay into.

Likely a heep of other reasons as well.

This should all serve as a warning to the wealthy on what will happen if they continue distancing themselves from accountability. It’s a zero sum game.

The author is discussing the impact a society/institute can have on an individuals choices later in life through the lens of their experience within Mormonism. They never attempt to gatekeep that it’s a unique thing Mormons go through. Ultimately she discusses a topic that encompasses all STEM industries at the moment, which is equal opportunity and free choice. As a result I’d argue it’s very topical for HN irrespective of the religion.

You mention the solution to this already, there’s nothing wrong with a municipal service so long as you allow private industry to service it.

So they have nothing to worry about on the climate change front

So not only are none of the locals profiting from these projects, but more importantly no one is learning and developing the skills to construct and maintain the new infrastructure and services in the region.

This play by China (even if unintentional) is extremely predatory as it only makes the country more dependant on China.

In an ideal circumstance China would manage these projects while training and developing local talent to help develop the local industries. Only then do I believe would these deals be beneficial for Africa in the long run.

So you might believe these project are improving the local regions at the present, but I would be really interested to hear if you still believe so in 10 years.

In those cases those peoples rights of ownership to their homes should be upheld. Otherwise, I agree that we should go hard against property hoarding.

Totally plausible provided the overlap in communities.

Secondly, having it be more distributed would also reduce the concentration of nitrogen at a local level (which doesnt have to be said the inpact it has on the local environment). So all in all its actually a relatively sound plan, how the Dutch government is going about it is maybe another story. But the fact still stands that this centralised agriculture system is just environmentally inefficien.
