What if the new government also imply that you have to change our religion? What if the new government does not believe in "free enterprise" and will TELL you which company you will work for. What if the new government change the sports teams you like? What if the new government change the language you speak.
See for the example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alsace#Timeline . Notice how the official language suddenly changes when a new "government" from a different nation take over. Are you so sure that the French Canadians will not have a problem with suddenly English potentially been the official language?
On the explanation for step 1, the author only removes "the" as redundant. But there are more byte ranges that can be removed
The following can be removed as reduntant
"the " (notice the space)
"at"
IN https://blog.gridstatus.io/caiso-beats-the-heat/ , there is a very interesting quote.
"The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) has also been lauded for its growth in storage, but when put into perspective of load, the gap remains quite large. Comparing all-time peak load and peak storage discharge (non-coincident), ERCOT's battery fleet would have met less than 5% of demand, while CAISO's battery fleet would have met about 16%, more than triple the value in Texas."
Absolute numbers are not the right metric when one of the states doesn't care about efficiency and decides to generate more and more electricity. Then absolute number are huge but percentages of renewal are very low.
This seems to be a joke. China has 70% of the world global research share on advanced aircraft engines Seriously? Maybe in writing papers . But that does not translate to actual product.
China has 50% of electronic warfare and 45% of radar? In what planet?
Any test to see if a lot of what is going on in other countries is not published?
Do you notice anything? The records keep falling ever summer. The battery discharge per day went up by 100% in the last year.
I do not see any bending of the curve.
California is the perfect example of building enough batteries can solve the duck curve problem.
Even in Texas, with the government actively against renewables and batteries, you see record been set for battery storage all the time
https://www.gridstatus.io/records/ercot?record=Maximum%20Pow...
Texas quadruple the battery storage in the last year.
Difference between California and Texas. California is about 3 years ahead of Texas. When the economics are so much cheaper, battery power is build .
No.
Let's say I have $100 million. Every year, for 50 years, I get a $2 million loan against only $2 million of my asset. The loans keep rotating and keep going.
At the end of 50 years, I die. When I die, the assets go to my estate AND (and this is important) my assets base value is rebased to current values.
My heirs sell some assets to pay off the loans. BUT the assets have been rebased to current value, so there is no tax due (since sell value is the same as base value).
Let me repeat.
My estate pays NO TAXES at all since the assets were rebased.
I actually have to set up a car alert for when I go above 90, because the car is so quiet and powerful that I can easily go above 90 without realizing (obviously on the highway) .
New cars have improved tremendously.
See also https://www.caiso.com/TodaysOutlook/Pages/supply.html and scroll down to "Batteries trend" and compare today vs a year ago.
A year ago, batteries were discharging max 3MW and were drained by 10-11 pm.
Yesterday batteries were discarging at max 5.3MW and were fully drained around 11:30.
So batteries handled twice as much power for longer period of time.
Take a look at

Scroll down to "Net demand trend" which is "System demand minus wind and solar" and compare yesterday vs last summer and a year ago
Yesterday (4/15) lowest net demand was 366 MW
Last summer, July 4th , lowest net demand was 2350 MW
Last year (4/15/23) lowest net demand was 2227 MW
You can see that last summer, with so much more "powerful" sun, the net demand never went below 2300 MW. Last year went down to 2227 MW. Today, we are down to 366 MW.
We manage to produce so much more solar in the last year that the net demand minus renewables went down by ~1800 MW. That means a few more years of improvements like that and we will have excess power generation of solar/wind at least during the day for most days. So if we start storing that excess generated power, we will start making a dent on other times of max power (since we can discharge batteries when max demand is needed).
That's the plan on how to keep lowering the net demand more and more.
These laws already exist right now.
Here is an example.
You can't make a painting at the dimension of a dollar bill that's so authentic that looks exactly like a dollar bill. That's called counterfeiting and it's illegal on every country in the world I believe (for their own money of course).
But if you create a company that takes the NYT articles, scans the articles for extreme weather information in Dubai and emails your paying customers every time that happens, then you are doing copyright infringement.
Yes.
All participants (parachute and control) jumped from vehicles with 0 speed and 0.6 meters altitude ;-)
I'm not joking. This is the actual study.
It shows how studies can be valid statistically and shows nothing usefull for the real world.
Try
Assume there are 100 people with 100 numbered hats on them. You are one of them and can see your hat. How can you figure out which number is on your hat?
Reply:
If you can see the number on your own hat but not the numbers on the other people's hats, there is no way to determine the exact number on your hat with certainty.........
Assume you are in a room with three switches and three light bulbs. How will you figure out which switch controls which light bulb?
It gives you the answer to the "popular" puzzle, not the simple answer of flipping a switch and see which light bulb turns on.
So I think that you can take popular puzzle, modify them to make the simple and see what the answer is. If it's the answer to the popular puzzle, then it's a bot.
The reply is funny. I told ChatGPT that it can do multiple trips and that it can see both switches and light bulbs at the same time.
ChatGPT keeps insisting that you have to turn on a switch, wait a few minutes , flip switch to off, turn other switch to on, then go and look and feel the switches. The classic solution to the riddle.
But if you can see both switches and light bulbs, you turn on one switch, you see which bulb turn on. You then turn on the 2nd switch and see which light turn on. You are done. No wait needs to happen ;-)
