  • Energy efficiency of various transport modes

    Jump

  • Technology, or rather, lack thereof. As others pointed out, planes need to bring their own energy supply and use additional energy for that. Weight is a very big factor for air transport's energy consumption. Fossil fuels have a very high energy density, which make them great for bringing along. Once light weight battery tech (without excessively large sizes) becomes available, it should be no issue to electrify planes. Alternatively, find another source of electricity. E.g. nuclear has a much higher energy density than fossil, but obviously has it's own issues, as do all other currently available tech options.

  • Planes and trains are also quite close to each other and in many cases cover the same routes. However, planes run 100% on fossil fuels, trains are often electric.

  • This made me wonder, are there any mechanical switches that can be switched by a smart something? As in, a regular switch where the user always has mechanical control, even when the smart system is down, but that optionally can be switched by a smart sytem, state reading is optional.

  • Sounds like these strikes are really having an effect

  • In that case, bigger pocket

  • Anna's Archive Loses $322 Million Spotify Piracy Case Without a Fight;In addition to the penalty, a permanent injunction required domain registrars and other parties to suspend the site's domain names

    Jump

  • To go even further, Anna's Archive has a section for LLM training that the big ones use. Apparrently it's okay if they use data that has been ruled to be illegal.

  • If your country's government enforces an automatic draft register, what would be people's reaction?

    Jump

  • Hell, moving between EU (not a federation!) countries seems to require less registrational duties (if you're a working person i.e. have 'equal status') after registering the move with your own and host country's governments...

  • Italy suspends defence agreement with Israel

    Jump

  • Probably some of the reasons other commenters mentioned, but also it's a lot easier to not extend an agreement than to cancel it.

    Jump

  • The whole American registration system is strange and confusing to me. Americans need to sign up themselves for nearly everything government related?

    I'm used to registration by the parents a few days aftee birth. After that the government keeps track of most things like being allowed to vote, draft, place of residence. In some countries they keep track of elligibility for benefits, healtcare related things, or taxes too. Of course a lot of these things are (semi-)automated, it saves a lot of work and expenses.

  • Researchers 3D print cell-sized, shape-shifting robots that move and navigate without a ‘brain’

    Jump

  • They're made by a laser 3D printer and they only move in an externally applied electric field. I don't think we have to worry about anything like that anytime soon :)

  • OSS Document Scanner works fine for me, can be installed from the F-Droid store.

  • Should the ESA have higher funding than NASA?

    Jump

  • I wouldn't mind if a serious chunk of the NATO budgets were diverted to the ESA. Even if it's only for military purposes, it would still fund research and development that benefits the civilian sector and it would make launches cheaper because of economy of scale.
