Not even close half, us democracy is a joke that loser can win and not everyone gets to vote. 22,5% of US population voted for trump. That is still way too much, but it is still minority.

No no, I wasn't supporting this shit. There is no use for this for the people of the country.

All civilized countries have proper sealed government owned databases that tell who lives in the country. This makes everyday life for everyone easier. Things like identity theft are impossible if there is db like this, which can be used to identify people in secure manner.

Adding little bit extra context here.

In Finland large number of homes are heated by district heating. This means there is heat plant or combined heat and power (CHP) plant, which heats water to around 70C - 110C (158F - 230F) and that is distributed to homes.

In this system heat batteries are useful, and near all CHP plants in Finland have done heat battery in last few years. These heat batteries are just 7-store high insulated water storage. Usefulness to store just water is that system is relatively simple. Water in - water out. This makes it that the turbine in CHP can be run more freely towards electricity price, not the network heat demand.

Plain heat plants generally don't yet have these, because the buffer created by heat battery is not that much needed. But if these sand batteries can store heat longer, and because they might be cheaper to build, it can make sense.

Source: I work in company that owns 19 district heating networks.

I have unlocked the fourth one! It is attention, they want just you to notice them.

He definitely doesn't want the rioting to end, he is actively trying to make it bigger. What he wants to people forgetting is that Musk repeated that Trump is in the Epstein flight logs.

Yeah, Symbian really was quite a thing. It was insanely optimized for memory and battery, but was nightmare to code.

Well, the annoying part is that the burning platform talked by Elop was Maemo/Meego, which was full Linux. Without Elop and Microsoft we would have pure Linux running on phones today. Now we are stuck between two closed source OS for phones.

It was running Qt, so basically any KDE app would be portable on it quite easily.

I was working with Maemo and Qt Symbian in Nokia while this happened, and it makes me sad.
