We had some scandals here in Sweden also - mostly around military airports (perhaps normal airports also) that practice with putting out burning airplanes.

Re:Apple M1 vs. Ryzen 3900X vs. Intel I9 in Software Development on Monday December 14, 2020 @01:01PM (#25420819)

How is this possible?

I know the Apple M1 is fast but against a 3900X?

Is it mostly storage and memory affecting the results? (doesn't say what storage Ryzen uses).

I mean - I still have a hard time believing that a M1 can outperform a Ryzen 3900X if they benchmark something that uses the CPU 100% for a while - like raytracing.

Or do x86 just suck and we found out now when something else came out?

Re:Nuclear Power: Game over (2016) [pdf] on Wednesday January 22, 2020 @01:27PM (#22120427)

Around 70% of Australia's electricity is made with coal.

This whole report smells like propaganda to keep it like that under the cover that renewables are better than nuclear power.

Nuclear is better than coal and if they really want to lower the CO2 emissions they should replace coal with nuclear power.

Coal is probably still cheaper than Nuclear.

Coal kills a lot of people every year but its not direct so we accept coal.

Re:Diesel is not better for the environment than electric on Wednesday May 01, 2019 @05:56AM (#19795754)

Are you using Nuclear power as renewable in that figure?

https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/germanys-energy-c...

35% renewable.

12% nuclear.

2018 USA Electric mix:

Fossil fuels (total) 2,651 63.5%

Nuclear 807 19.3%

Renewables (total) 713 17.1%

Re:Diesel is not better for the environment than electric on Wednesday May 01, 2019 @05:48AM (#19795728)

Here in Sweden (with high taxes on diesel/petrol):

Diesel - 16,54 SEK/L. HVO100 - 17,36 SEK/L.

RIght now on one of the biggest petrol chan here in Sweden.

Re:Diesel is not better for the environment than electric on Wednesday May 01, 2019 @05:11AM (#19795580)

Same could be said about the fossil cars.

Most diesel cars can be used with HVO100 - 100% renewable

Re:Best Display for Programming? (2017) on Monday January 21, 2019 @11:43AM (#18961497)

Most developers use multiple displays and two 27" or two 30" display means just as much (or even more) head movement - right?

At home I went from two 27" (1080p) to one 40" 4k and the workspace is not as wide (less head movement) and I get the extra vertical workspace (2k vertikal vs 1k vertical)

This is simply not true. The questions was asked by Ecuadorians and had to be approved beforehand. Swedish prosecutors where allowed in the room but could not talk to Assange. IE no follow up questions etc

Re:Wikileaks: Julian Assange's internet access 'cut' on Monday October 17, 2016 @11:33AM (#12725930)

Last time I heard (about 2-3 months ago) the Ecuadorians had accepted that the swedish prosecutors were present when the hearing took place. They should not be allowed to ask any questions. Questions had to be sent in first and asked by the Ecuadorians.

I dont think its that simple as "Just go there and have the hearing".

Re:The Fed Wants to Test How Banks Would Handle Negative Rates on Tuesday February 02, 2016 @03:08PM (#11022100)

Rates will never be negative when banks lend FROM the fed.

Interest rates could become negative when the banks lend TO the fed (IE parking the money overnight).
