Lacking a TRS 80, YT has it as well: https://youtu.be/j-Zcog5o_p0?si=p-zMq2mnYwcONqmA

Or you build a bit more capacity and use excess production on good days to produce co2 neutral gas (power to hydrogen to methan) that can also be stored in existing infrastructure.

> Which means that switching to EV will double India's pollution norms. Unless nuclear power takes over.

Why is nuclear the only alternative?

Indeed the regulatory climate is missing to put the costs of handling nuclear waste onto the producers. I doubt it would be economically viable to operate a nuclear plant if those costs were fully factored in.

It's 14.6 % of the gross income, capped around 58k income / year. Half of that (7.3 %) is paid by the employer, the other half by the employee (deducted from monthly wage payments).

For that, kids (no matter how many) are covered unless the other parent has a private insurance. Spouses are covered if they don't have their own insurance.

Based in Germany, I'd say the best part of it is that it's truly social: The healthy ones pay for the sick ones, all with the same tariff, no questions asked. That's especially true for people who become sick, old, or both: For them, private insurances tend to raise their tariffs exponentially, and there's no way to get an affordable insurance any longer.

I had two Google Play accounts once. When I finally merged them, Google refunded the 25 bucks I paid years back for the now obsolete second account. Seemed more like some kind of deposit to reduce fake accounts. Not sure if that's changed the past years.

Picking the Slack / Chat argument: I don't think it should be expected to reply immediately. It's more like a lightweight inbox (when being tagged / DMed) that's easy to reply to (no greeting/regards required). Channels are a great place for async discussions that can be linked to and are kind of public so noone needs to decide beforehand whom to engage, and everyone can decide to join or leave the discussion without being cc'd forever.

Adding an option to verify accounts by linking them to social security numbers or corporate registrations and marking them accordingly (without necessarily making the details visible publicly) could at least direct trust to accounts that can be traced to real entities.

Sounds like Ubuntu's Unity to me. My 2 cents: Now that I'm using two 4K panels I very much enjoy having 4 windows side-by-side (optionally even splitting those vertical "columns" horizontally to hold 2 windows). No more task switching, all I need is always visible - I personally wouldn't opt for a tab-based full-screen WM.

Built this early alpha that calculates CO2 emissions for road & rail travels based on exported Google Location histories. It's far from accurate or complete, but I'd be curious to learn if the idea excites anyone.
