Sun played no, or no authoritative, role in developing javascript. I don’t know how they got the trademark except perhaps no one owning it thought they could monetize the trademark.

Gotten worse since 2015.

Simple distinction of capitalism vs socialism is private vs socialized profits. Where the commons are a social asset, profiting off it gives society a return in exchange for diminishment of commons.

Tradgedy of the commons is usually a glib argument ending remark made when you point out the theft of the commons taking place, or the privatising of profits with socialized losses. Its meant to uphold theft as a feature of democratic capital supremacy.

Nope. Too many people making skynet. The dogs and goggles will do nothing.

100% effective dragon and vampire repellant too.

V2L and V2H are desirable features worth paying for. Grid sharing is not rocket appliances. In other thread, I showed how a 2nd EV that is barely used can pay for itself, but some static batteries are cheaper. 10kwh can power 2-5 homes overnight. Apartment units don’t individually pay for exterior flood lighting. Mid to higher end cars have 50-100kwh battery packs. As an overall society, 80%+ of cars are parked somewhere at any time. The point of powering one house, applies to sharing for 1m houses.

You need H2 only after solar + EVs provides more than 24 hours of needed energy in an area. Although H2 does save on transmission costs for medium to long distance. One of the remarkable aspects of BYD Dolphin, now under $9000 for 32kwh battery is that the battery value alone is $260/kwh capacity, and if you never drove it, but sold electricity 2.6c/kwh higher at night than you pay at day, then you pay for the car in its entirety. Just batteries can be sold under $100/kwh in China, and you could make 200% ROI from 3c/kwh price differential. EVs and batteries can be paid by private sector instead of utility investment markup model.

H2 technologies are advancing, including storage and pipes. Electrical transmission is more than 10x more expensive than transmitting gas/H2, and saves money on that end relative to efficiency loss. Surplus solar with input cost at 2c/kwh or less achieves under $2/kg H2 target which is equivalent driving distance to $1/gallon gasoline, and 10c/kwh electric only value delivered energy, and 6c/kwh combined heat and electricity value.

The reasoning is actually that a food desert means greater revenues from a larger market circle for the desert wanderers to travel so they can eat. Company gets most of the profit without offering convenient service from the captives.

There is zero reason to run grocery stores at a loss. Competition that doesn’t extort as strongly as other cartel members does screw over the cartel.

Instead of closing them, accept NYC offer of 5cents on the dollar to take over their lease. Everyone gets what they want.

OP sepcifically mentioned EVs. This sector is deflationary even in US, where better value/performance cars cost less every year. More dramatic deflation in less corrupt countries. Australia home solar costs under 1/3rd of US due to different politico-social corruption levels.

EVs and home solar are a great match that permits going offgrid at substantially lower cost if an EV is parked at home during day. That same dynamic allows a society/community to power itself through solar+batteries, and EVs parked at work. It’s not a question of look at our corrupt obstructionist oligarchical monopoly state of societies for examples of lack of economic success as proof that it will forever be impossible.

In a market or effincient economy, where peak occurs mid hot summer day, 100% solar dominated renewables makes sense. In Spring and fall, EVs can absorb daily oversupply and profit from trading back at night. Winter is when solar can fail to meet heating and electricity needs, and so either backup energy sources or having much more than 100% peak demand in order to make green H2 that can be exported to where it gets cold is needed.

0 new nuclear is best amount of nuclear for any economy.

China approved 66.7GW of new coal-fired capacity, started construction on 94.5GW of coal power projects

New power plants don’t mean using those power plants. Resilience/backup power. Use of coal for electricity has declined despite new coal plants.

Data published Wednesday by ACEA found that Tesla’s car sales in the European Union, Britain and the European Free Trade Association fell to 13,863 units in May, down 27.9% year on year.

Tesla’s European market share also dropped to 1.2% from 1.8% in May 2024.

European/other than China EV makers also did well, that this and other headlines this year, intentionally obfuscate. The combination of both above numbers means overall EV growth was about 25%. 93% is non US/China.

What if I wanted to cook the chicke through friction, by say inserting an object 3 fingers or so thick in and out of its cavity as fast as athletically possible? … so um… how long can I keep fucking my chicken?

Iran is happy with permanent ceasefire. Israel had far greater initial demonic fantasies, and so we can say they lost. Trump’s glorious victory strike no one should question its success is essentially helpful intervention on behalf of Iran. Israel better off not receiving missiles, too.

Emperor rutte has spoken. Well deputy emperor to trump, rutte, has spoken. NATO members all agree to destroy their societies in order to boost military spending by 150%. Traitors in member parliaments will need to be executed if they object to the empire.

At least Europes war on Russia will be worth it. Every 100 years, no one left alive to remember last failure.

Only because genocidal zionazi supremacists control the us, and by extension g7+nato, Iran should not pursue nuclear energy, because Israel would always accuse them of pursuing more. There is no economic value for nuclear energy. Solar + batteries much more effective.

Still, negotiations to that end are far more human. I wouldn’t want you to have nuclear weapons, but killing you should have a better reason Than my supremacy.

FYI, Israelis aren’t allowed to leave Israel now, because playing the victim card requires using them as human shields. 9/11 was greatest US empire boost over Americans in history, and DNC firmly backs war and empire enslavement of Americans.

Ukraine NATO version of a ceasefire proposal is so Ukraine can dig new defensive lines, and let western weapons production catch up with donations. Conducting terrorist operations day before meetings doesn’t put Russia in a good mood either.

Zelensky power/bribery clinging does not bring peace to Ukraine any time soon.
