The problem you describe seems to be one targeted by the TerraPower project in Wyoming. It plans to operate at 100% capacity at all times (345 MWe), but makes itself more akin to other renewables by incorporating energy storage into its design.
It is supposed to be able to increase capacity to 150% (500 MWe), allowing it to respond to energy scarcity. But it can also respond to energy abundance by storing excess production in molten salt storage tanks.
It's especially interesting to contrast this rise in the brutality, violence, and realistic physicality of western Christianity's art with traditional Byzantine iconography. My first thought goes to Myshkin in Dostoevsky's The Idiot. Seeing an image of the dead Christ from Holbein [1]:
"At that painting!" the prince suddenly cried out, under the impression of an unexpected thought. "At that painting! A man could even lose his faith from that painting!"
"Lose it he does," Rogozhin suddenly agreed unexpectedly. They had already reached the front door.
"What?" the prince suddenly stopped. […]
By contrast, I once read or heard somewhere that in Byzantine depictions of the crucifixion, one cannot really know if it is the cross that holds up Christ's body or He who holds up the cross.
I can assure you that there are plenty of crosses that very clearly and unambiguously hold up the crucified Jesus in Eastern Orthodox churches and homes.
Re: the off-topic comment: Same here, but I noticed that Firefox's reader button was still appearing. I was able to read with that without loading the scripts after all.
At last, a goodbye to Python 2. Otherwise, I'm excited to see the increased support for desktop use of Alpine with each release. This time, a new setup script is included to help set up a desktop environment automatically. For some reason, it's very satisfying to boot such a small distribution on a big screen.
Though the free calls come at the cost of a 55-inch revolving advertisement outside my door and around every corner. I wish very often for the "humble" option to return.
The story has been picked up by Reuters as well [1]. From a quick look at DuckDuckGo and Ecosia, it seems their image results are similarly restricted because of their reliance on Bing. I am getting results, but they're entirely unrelated to the Tiananmen Square massacre.
After the article was written, the Supreme Court of Indiana did end up ruling in favor of the car owner. From the ruling [1]:
> To find a fair probability of unauthorized control here, we would need to conclude that Hoosiers don’t have the authority to remove unknown, unmarked objects from their personal vehicles.
In this case, however, there was no obvious indication that the device was put there by the police.
"Kabuga’s trial, in contrast, promises to restore a modicum of accountability"
I hope so. A trial before the IRMCT would renew my hope in such institutions, even as the US plainly attacks the ICC with Trump's recent executive order (13928). For those interested in reading more: https://www.justsecurity.org/tag/executive-order-13928/.
This really interests me. Do you have any specific essays/references you could point me to? I've managed to find a couple things online, but I would appreciate any recommendations you have.
Maybe not in today's form, but a world without copyright would be a different world, perhaps one in which people would work for free software because it's what they believe in. It would represent a fundamental shift in how the public viewed knowledge, sharing, and openness.
