Mostly yes, but it works the other direction as well: a fossil power station may not want to completely shut down because it expects more demand later in the day, and offer a few hours of low cost electricity to stay in the merit order.

I don't think that needs reminding.

You're telling me there's no "notify me when domain X becomes for sale" service?

In the North Atlantic most paths are slightly curved to take the most efficient route (taking curvature of the earth into account). There is one prevalent route from Gibraltar to Florida that is straight as an arrow though. What is up with that?

Or ending it with the same salute involving the name of the leader, for that matter.

A bit like Anathem.

Is someone even trying to open source that type of content (routes, pois)?

From experience, the bread has a better rise when I feed my starter for three or more cycles/days after storing it in the fridge. As if it needs to "wake up" and increase its speed of metabolism.

I agree that most leaders will now they are fallible, and also have some idea of which things are problematic. As an inexperienced leader, I still valued getting "known feedback". It gave me a better idea of which problems were growing too large, and which ones remained minor annoyances. In addition, acknowledging the points that were brought up and explaining why I hadn't gotten to addressing them (besides being human) usually gave the person giving the feedback a more positive outlook.

That's an interesting idea, you'd probably be able to know ip addresses via wireguard. Protocols like CoAP or SenML can be used to keep payloads small.

MQTT, aside from being pubsub, has more functionality that is especially useful in IoT though: robust sessions with LW&T to monitor onlineness, and retained topics to deliver messages as devices come online again

I'm curious which lost land you are referring to.

Building skyscrapers on former swamps is indeed difficult.

Yes, but in an indirect way. At some point, nitrogen deposition was identified as harmful to nature, and emissions targets were put in place. Politicians then did everything they could not to be the one having to introduce unpopular legislation, until they couldn't anymore. Now the government has painted themselves in a corner and cannot give permits for building projects anymore without breaking the law.

I think we'll see this more often in the future when the consequences of ambitious targets will need to be reckoned with.
