This is a repo build using the PyPSA python framework. PyPSA is an open-source Python framework for optimizing modern power systems with renewable energy, storage, and multi-sector coupling.

The repo linked “seeks to complement the tools currently used in the TYNDP cycles, especially for Scenario Building (SB) and Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA). This approach is designed to enhance transparency and lower barriers to stakeholder participation in European energy planning. Beyond Europe, the project aspires to demonstrate the viability of open-source (OS) frameworks in energy planning, encouraging broader global adoption.

To build trust in and ensure reproducibility with the new open-source toolchain, the project first focuses on replicating key figures from the 2024 TYNDP cycle, before aligning with the current 2026 TYNDP cycle. This process involves developing new features within the open-source domain to address existing gaps, integrating tools for data interoperability and dynamic visualizations, and publishing best practices to encourage the adoption of open energy models.”

Why this report is shared appears to be an application of PyPSA for others to reference and become inspired by its implementation.

Why it’s open source I think is clear from the above paragraph. Open source standards make it drastically easier to harmonise and collaborate while allowing as much engagement as possible to scrutinise the framework.

You alright there?

Not disagreeing on the above, I agree quite strongly in fact. It’s important we are critical of our own tribes.

Your final question though is maybe worth a challenge. Why can’t both sides be in the wrong? I always find we are quick to make a problem quite polar without accepting the grey mush in between.

In this case, China has similarly also demonstrated its far reaching and abusive capabilities when given the opportunity (my thoughts around belt-and-road, Tibet, Uighurs and its own treatment of its people in its past). Your point on china not being in a war is also one that can be challenged, proxy wars have and continue to be a thing. China has played their part and continue contributing to active conflicts.

Outside of those mission requirements you mentioned there are also some limitations in any cryo cooled liquids onboard.

Either the pressure increases internally, liquid off-gases and needs to be refilled (where there is a finite amount left to use), or risk of components freezing up can all play a factor into how long a rocket can stand on the pad for. As a result it’s less a question of how often can they delay the launch and more a question of how long can the rocket stay out on the pad for you to delay into.

Likely a heep of other reasons as well.

That’s a great point, and if that comes to be, that burden shall lay with the rich.

This should all serve as a warning to the wealthy on what will happen if they continue distancing themselves from accountability. It’s a zero sum game.

It’s not clear from the article. Would something like creatine, considering it’s ability to increase water retention, positively or negatively impact the muscles speed?

Then you should’ve said that first instead of beating around the bush with the what-about-ism.

The author is discussing the impact a society/institute can have on an individuals choices later in life through the lens of their experience within Mormonism. They never attempt to gatekeep that it’s a unique thing Mormons go through. Ultimately she discusses a topic that encompasses all STEM industries at the moment, which is equal opportunity and free choice. As a result I’d argue it’s very topical for HN irrespective of the religion.

As if the adage “correlation is not causation” isn’t said enough on HN. Here we are still having to scream it from the roof tops.

In this case how ever the US ISPs do not have any competition.

You mention the solution to this already, there’s nothing wrong with a municipal service so long as you allow private industry to service it.

ASML is located in the south of the Netherlands in Maastricht which sits at around 50m above sea-level.

So they have nothing to worry about on the climate change front

I think the major issue in this situation is that the loaned money effectively circulates back into Chinese hands, and all that the local economy gets in return is infrastructure that they will in a few years not be able to maintain or develop due to a lack of skill or resources.

So not only are none of the locals profiting from these projects, but more importantly no one is learning and developing the skills to construct and maintain the new infrastructure and services in the region.

This play by China (even if unintentional) is extremely predatory as it only makes the country more dependant on China.

In an ideal circumstance China would manage these projects while training and developing local talent to help develop the local industries. Only then do I believe would these deals be beneficial for Africa in the long run.

So you might believe these project are improving the local regions at the present, but I would be really interested to hear if you still believe so in 10 years.

The only good reason I can think of at the moment are prison or medical reasons which leave you in a hospital for an extended period of time.

In those cases those peoples rights of ownership to their homes should be upheld. Otherwise, I agree that we should go hard against property hoarding.

I think they meant the keynote resulted in massive traffic to HN resulting in HN giving itself the hug of death.

Totally plausible provided the overlap in communities.
