That's how Swiss politics work. If you can get 100000 voters to sign a petition it triggers a referendum. And that's basically how any opposition to such a project is expected to proceed.

50k. 100k is for if you want to introduce a new law.

A single user may use different cookies depending on the device they use so either way it's unreliable.

It does not need to be perfectly reliable, just reliable enough

So, in other words, no need for cookies...

I have a hard time believing you can transfer 20% of the power through the upper deck without rethinking the whole structure.

I would imagine the masts travel through the upper deck from their base which is bolted onto the frame, rather than being bolted to the outside deck.

If it's like a conventional sailboat, the mast will go all the way down to the keel.

^this.

especially if the ship is loaded with materials.

I hope they actually try, it's going to be a hell of a show.

I'll RSVP no to the in person watch party and happily watch a stream with a room full of engineering students so we can debrief the explosion afterwards.

lol

I call bullshit.

Their is no way this valve cost $11,000. A quick google search for PEEP valves for respirators sow that they sell for a few dollars, 20 at most.

It seems unlikely that any company would sue in such circumstances, it would be a PR nightmare.

If the story was true prices would most likely be listed in euros.

When this 3d printed valves story appeared a few days ago those exact figures were cited on Reddit as a joke.

How they ended up presented as "Facts" on TheVerge is anyone's guess.

Here is something else that oil company know and keep secret.

The unexploited oil reserves in the world are at least twice as big as we think.

Not exactly- the term "provable reserves" has a technical meaning, and is usually used with a modifier like "economically recoverable".

Because the public misunderstands that term to mean "absolute amount of supply ever to become available" doesn't make it misleading or even a secret.

> The argument that HTTPS is always available and not filtered is just wrong, anyone who has experience working with large corporations knows that clients use local * certificates and everything is decrypted by the firewall and then re-encrypted. Making HTTPS slow af and sometimes plain broken.

Yeah, and implementing everything over https is just going to make things harder or impossible to filter. There's a reason that large corporations block certain things, so if they get reimplemented over http, that will just be a security hole. It would be nice if an actual encrypted DNS protocol was created.

I don't understand those single header libraries. Anyone writing code in c or c++ knows how to link a library. It's really annoying when writing code for a platform with limited ram.

Unfortunately template-heavy libraries have to be header-only; otherwise the preprocessor doesn't know which flavors of the template you want to use.

You have to understand that my apparent is older than Dallas, Installing AC would be very complicated and expensive. Adapting buildings to the changing climate will take time, rushing it could be disastrous to old buildings.

Mandatory AC is not the solution but many other solutions are being deployed. The first massive heatwave happened in 2003, it wasn't as hot as this summer but took us by surprise and caused over 15,000 death in France, around 70,000 in Europe. Compare this to 1,500 death in the record breaking heatwave of this summer.
