Oh that would also make sense, yeah

I suspect that’s deliberate to make someone that speaks English and doesn’t know German still get the correct impression of what it actually sounds like, rather than get the spelling right

Fortran is Proto-Indo-Germanic or whatever it’s called again

Eh, that’s a bit of a stretch. There’s more awareness by default here because of GDPR and such, but I wouldn’t say people really care that much more here

Congrats, you completely missed the point. Maybe read the actual article, before going on a rant that’s only tangentially related?

Negative prices are short-term self-regulation reactions of the market, they can’t stay negative long-term, just because of how the system works. So I’m not sure what you’re worried about.

Also, cut the condescending tone, it does nothing but make you look like an asshole.

Except it’d be much less of a practical problem if the question “but who gets paid” would be taken out distributing excess energy.

Not really. Timezones, at their core (so without DST or any other special rules), are just a constant offset that you can very easily translate back and forth between, that’s trivial as long as you remember to do it. Having lots of them doesn’t really make anything harder, as long as you can look them up somewhere. DST, leap seconds, etc., make shit complicated, because they bend, break, or overlap a single timeline to the point where suddenly you have points in time that happen twice, or that never happen, or where time runs faster or slower for a bit. That is incredibly hard to deal with consistently, much more so that just switching a simple offset you’re operating within.

If that were true, we’d still have asbestos in everything. Regulation works.

So, basically cloud saves with extra steps, except you only get a single save and can’t replay the game? Sounds even worse than current solutions, honestly

All faces of a cube are square. The face visible in the picture is definitely not square. Thus, no matter what the non-visible parts of the blue shape look like, it’s for sure not a cube.

That’s a weird takeaway from this. I rather took it as a reminder that even in our own solar system, there’s still surprises waiting for us, and there’s so much more to explore. Doesn’t take away from the wonder at all for me.

The thing is, movement is relative. Everything on earth is constantly in motion if you’re observing from any other celestial body, so motion itself can’t be what breaks portals. What it might be, though, is acceleration. Those panels in the video seem to be moving at a constant speed, so aren’t experiencing any substantial acceleration, making a portal on them possible

Not sure I’m following. If the portals are exactly the same size, and stay that size, then why would you have to connect one point on one to two points on the other?

You can pass two 2d ovals through each other in a 3D space no problem if they’re exactly the same size.
