Well that’s an average and it will differ greatly with seasons. What percentage is problematic?

Did they actually generate power during the teat flight?
- Comment on 'Windmill': China tests world’s first megawatt-level airship to capture high winds 4 weeks ago:
Sorry about that, I got all excited at just a tenth of what they are trying to achieve. Oops
- Comment on 'Windmill': China tests world’s first megawatt-level airship to capture high winds 4 weeks ago:
So it’s a 100kW generator and you would need around 60kW to float the weight of a hot air balloon basket with a couple of people. My math is probably way off though.

TIL thanks for bringing this up
- Comment on 'Windmill': China tests world’s first megawatt-level airship to capture high winds 4 weeks ago:
They’re trying to get it to100kW. That’s like a pretty big generator but not a huge one. So this isn’t a replacement for wind farms just yet. The picture is from a year ago. No mention of costs.

Depends on the price

I think “thought and prayers” are the bottom of the barrel. This is actively withholding money from Disney. And Disney LOVES money. If enough people stop giving Disney money, then the “line goes up” people will not get tens of millions of dollars and they’ll have to take some action. This isn’t a meaningless gesture. Obviously it depends on how many people cancel their subscriptions. How’s spotify doing nowadays?

- Comment on UK government trial of Microsoft's M365 Copilot finds no clear productivity boost 1 month ago:
From reading the study, it seems like the workers didn’t even use it. Less than 2 queries per day? A third of participants used it once per week?
This is a study of resistance to change or of malicious compliance. Or maybe it’s a study of how people react when you’re obviously trying to take their jobs.

- Comment on Teamviewer Terminates Perpetual Licenses 3 months ago:
I think the CEOs are playing a game of pass the buck. They only need the current quarter or year to match their predicted profits (line goes up). So they do more and more damage each quarter until the scheme collapses. The they golden parachute out and a new CEO starts their game (often by firing as many people as possible).
