Yeah you do. Compare the casualties and destruction in 19th century and 20th century wars.

Looking at Wikipedia's list of wars by death toll[0], it seems that people were capable of massive casualties and destruction without fossil fuels, too. Like the Taiping Rebellion in 1850–1864, with a death toll of 20–70 million. The Mongol invasions in 1206–1368, with a death range of 20–60 million, and the Three Kingdoms period in 184–280, with a death range of 34 million.

Hydro (which may or may not be counted as renewable) counts as ~15%.

Why or when wouldn't one consider hydropower a renewable energy source?

were the bolts missing because the Spirit team did not know they had to be put back

It would be interesting to know what ultimately happened to the bolts if they indeed were removed.

When I disassemble something, I do as I was taught in my mechanical class in high school, and always keep all parts I take of in the same box. If I am left with some extra bolts when finished, that would be a worrisome sign.

Correct. From what I can read in the decision letter, Metas local Norwegian subsidiary, named "Facebook Norway AS", is being held collectively responsible for "fine of up to NOK 1 000 000 per day of non-compliance on Meta Platforms Ireland Limited and/or Facebook Norway AS" - https://www.datatilsynet.no/contentassets/36ad4a92100943439d...

Facebook Norway AS did, however, only have a revenue of about 6.6 million USD in 2022, with a profit of 3.6 million USD, according to https://www.proff.no/selskap/facebook-norway-as/oslo/reklame... . They have 27 employees. The revenue from Norway are however much bigger and was speculated to be 233 million USD in 2021: https://e24.no/naeringsliv/i/A3r1Mz/facebook-bokfoerte-bare-...

Fines like this are a nice little tax write off, just another business expense.

The fines seem to be leveled at Meta's local company in Norway. As I understand it, fines are not deductible in Norway.

(I am not an accountant, and my company has never gotten a find, but looking up this in the accounting system I use, it seems it is not deductible: https://kontohjelp.fiken.no/as/medMoms/7799?sok=7799 ( in Norwegian)).

From what I can remember from other cases here in Norway, the daily fines will be increased if the regulatory body sees that they do not have any effect.

The goal here is compliance. So the regulators will first try guidance, then a formal warning, then daily fines, then increasing the fine, fine (local) directors personally, and finally dissolvent of Metas local company.

People want to drive

I, for one, would love a self-driving rv. I can see it now, first taking a shower, then sitting back on the sofa, drinking a cup of coffee while silently gliding to the office in the morning.

Aeroperú Flight 603: "Flying over water, at night, with no visual references, the pilots were unaware of their true altitude, and struggled to control and navigate the aircraft. The investigation determined that the air data computers were unable to show correct airspeed and altitude on cockpit displays because a maintenance worker had failed to remove tape covering the pitot-static system ports on the aircraft exterior"

From 2021. In 2022 the missing cables were found and it looks like the cable was caught up in the trawl from a trawl boat: https://www.nrk.no/nordland/mysteriet-pa-havbunnen-_-na-er-s... (in Norwegian).

Its political and military move. Realistically only US and Russia

have the capacity to do 3 attacks like this simultaneously.

No need to do 3 attacks simultaneously. An attacker could have placed explosives there some time ago and the detonated it remotely now.

Formar Naval Special Operator and now teacher in marine engineering and doctoral student at the Swedish Försvarshögskolan, Patrik Hulterström, alleged that "An experienced diver can in theory manage it himself" according to https://www.vg.no/nyheter/utenriks/i/4ozy8o/orlogskaptein-tr...

Mark Karpales served about 2 years in prison.

I do not think ha actually did serve any time. "he was sentenced to 30 months in prison, suspended for four years, meaning he will serve no time unless he commits additional offenses over the next four years." according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Karpel%C3%A8s .

I have been sitting on cash since end of last year,

How do you feel about the recent spick in inflation? I have also been sitting on some cash for a year, and its buying power has definitely fallen. I find it now hard to see if prices will fall or wags will go up, so the cash I have will be of less relative worth.

If you and I are both estimating the value of a good, if our estimates

are close it's one thing and if they are far apart it's another. Are

rounders losing because their estimates are less accurate, relative their counterparty's?

I belive it is normally the one with the most optimistic evaluation that wins. It is called "winner's curse": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winner%27s_curse

This consideration is key, even when Akamai servers are hosted in the EU.

Is the fix as easy as that Akamai creating a subsidiary in the EU?

I am in the EU and use AWS a lot, but I am not a customer of Amazon Inc. Instead, it sees this on the bill as who is the seller: "Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL, 38 avenue John F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg".
