Oh yeah I have good blinds and live in an area with medium light pollution.

Yes, F-91W still on its first battery. It's not a great flashlight, but it allows me to find back into bed and not run into anything

At night it is more than sufficient. I even use it as a flashlight

The point seems to rather be that European economy could have a better outlook if the labor market was more efficient. Not that safety nets should be cut.

I found it worth a read even though I am pretty familiar with the German labour laws generally.

unlimited possibilities to expand the game scope through a tech tree: - Hyperthreading - interrupts - compressed main memory - L3 caches - TLB caches - CFS - cgroups - TSO/GSO - performance / efficiency cores - dynamic clock speed - thermals - PCI bandwidth / lanes - ...

Game could start with a single CPU and 2-3 processes and then all this comes on top step by step and you can automate it away through tech tree.

Sounds like fusion would be a really good distillation target?

Important to consider that your stat is likely comparing primary energy, not secondary energy. E.g. an electric car or a heat pump use less primary energy than the fossil equivalent.

Issues with my AirPods Max 1:

* occasional deafening screatch when there's too much moisture. I'm surprised they didn't need to recall them over that

* occasional reboots when you move it a bit on your head.

Unfortunately in apple-manner they don't mention if such issues were resolved with this v2

Opus being a frontier model and this being a superficial failure of the model. As other comments point out this is more of a harness issue, as the model lays out.

We have speed pedelecs (45kmph) where I live with extra restrictions compared to normal ebikes which are capped at 25kmph. On the countryside 25kmph just doesn't get you places fast enough.

> And I dont think I would want to share cycling lanes with people doing more than that either

The regulation I wish for is for speed pedelecs to be allowed to use cycle paths whenever the street has a speed limit > 50kmh. Being on a 70-100kmph road as a 45kmph bike is needlessly dangerous when there's a usually idle bike path next to it.
