That’s a nice development. But the article fails to mention which kind of battery the vessel will use, which I thought was the main reason we didn’t have these kinds of ships yet.
19600 kWh of stored energy is about equivalent to 7 ton of diesel when burnt in diesel engine with 25% thermal efficiency
"Fuel consumption by a containership is mostly a function of ship size and cruising speed, which follows an exponential function above 14 knots. For instance, while a containership of around 8,000 TEU would consume about 225 tons of bunker fuel per day at 24 knots. At 21 knots, this consumption drops to about 150 tons per day, a 33% decline."
This is dumb. Brazil was able to extremely reduce tobacco consumption “just” with education and banning advertising.
It blows my mind how no other country in the world wants to follow their example on this. Are they too proud to copy a third world country? Even when it’s doing some things better?
A quick Google search suggests that Brazil and the UK have similar levels of smoking in the adult population. So the UK's already succeeded in reducing smoking consumption. The aim of this legislation is to eventually eliminate it.
Good link. I think it’s clear that he is the most corrupt president: while other presidents have been guilty of corruption, seeking money from foreign governments and firms via cryptocoins is a level of corruption no other president has met, and he’s quite open about it.
It’s not the “walled garden” that’s preventing Valve to write Proton for Mac, it’s the lack of Vulcan support. Apple pushed to its own Metal framework when they deprecated OpenGl, which is probably great for performance, but outright denying support for Vulkan was a killer blow for games.
Which they could choose to fix but didn't because they are treating it as a walled garden. Which is the same reason they removed the OpenGL support and declined to update/modernize that implementation. As reverse engineering efforts for asahi linux have shown, implementing Vulkan is perfectly possible and apparently runs with pretty decent performance. And as Apple's own efforts with the game porting kit show, supporting DirectX is also not an impossibility and there are some examples of ported games in the Apple store.
Apple religiously defends its walled gardens. Stuff like this is the exact symptom. They don't allow third parties to "fix" this either. They don't really document their own hardware and treat it as a control point. They also don't support independent efforts to port other operating systems on mac hardware.
180 grand a month for PA is a lot of money. But I guess each person has its own priority. I mean, I can pay a very fancy gym with that price instead of the shitty popular one I go, which would probably improve my well being much more than asking to play Gorillaz
I think you are being a bit hysterical and trying to find an issue where there’s none.
The article is just trying to find an historical explanation on why something so inefficient became norm in modern civilization, there’s no sexism here…
So you think "doctors wanted to see better and didn't think it would hurt anything" and "It's all because of a Frenchman who decided it was more convenient – for men." are equally gender-agnostic?
