What’s your source? Solar panels certainly are much easier and cheaper to setup, but what about over 40 years (average age of reacrors in France)?

For the same cooling reason some places have been covering irrigation canals with solar panels. The water cools down the panels and it reduces water loss through evaporation.

I’m confused by the albedo argument. The reflected light would need to reach the solar panels, but the panels are facing up. So how could a surface of ice/snow be sufficiently facing the solar panels to reflect a significant amount of sun light towards the panels?

Edit: nevermind, using my hands to draw imaginary angles, I’ve concluded it can work with a facing normal white slope for some sun position if the orientation is favorable.

It seems none of them exist sadly.

Isn’t it the basis of the military that you have to follow orders or you will be arrested? I guess he didn’t.

I got a Nokia Lumia at the time and the OS quality was surprisingly good. It felt much more well thought end to end than my Android is currently. But it was a mistake to force a convergence with the desktop OS.

No, the same energy would be:

~ I agree with these antiracist actions, but I would rather not have it come from someone who committed racist crimes.

If it was not his intention, why would he start with I agree? He could have only kept the whataboutsim part. Can you consider he may be against both, or is that too far fetched for your intention guessing ability?

The comment said he agreed with the post.

This should be a nice option, not a necessity. Sound mixing should be done correctly to adapt to the average stereo system with an average sound level by default. Then people who can afford a better setup and an individual house can opt for the mixing that fits their situation.

Sadly no, the physical switch recently introduced with FP 6 is by default to activate a distraction-free mode. It can be changed to other features that do not include mic/camera. Furthermore, it implies it’s all software managed, nowhere close to the security of real physical kill switch for mic and camera. https://support.fairphone.com/hc/en-us/articles/27533345946258-Switch-button-Settings

You are answering to someone from a tankie instance, expect their views to be aligned with authoritarian left and take them with many grains of salt. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie

Wouldn’t deaths from battlegrounds be too small (before world wars) to impact a group’s genetics?

It will not make a difference in how illegal and wrong it was, but having some verified numbers about the percentage of civilians casualties over combattants helps understand if it was mistakes/collateral damages of military targets, or something worse.

Would you have sources for this number? I checked quickly and the numbers were quite smaller.

I think the current generation of models already has some use, and there’s still quite some work to integrate it and market it all out. So there’s some money to make there.

For someone who wants to reach actual AI I think yes, but for someone who wants to make money, probably not.
