If these are supposed to be used as backup generators then gas turbines are a good fit in technical sense. Can start quickly, don’t need a lot of space or cooling, can work on partial load; lead times are somehow short, and you can just pack it all in containers and set up anywhere which seems to be important. The catch is that efficiency is probably just below 40% instead of 60% and slightly above for regular CCGT plant, thst is you need to burn extra 50%-ish gas (methane is cheapest fuel and can just be piped). about anything that burns and can be pumped through a nozzle can be used

Then there’s matter of smog. You’re supposed to put giant catalytic converter (sorta) on this thing and normal powerplants do just that. Apparently techbro oligarchs decided it’s not disruptive enough this way

but dw this won’t last, talking about bubble broke to the mainstream now

don’t let crackheads know about it

what kinda drug tests are we talking about here? i’m talking about the kind where you send piss sample and then get result, or in fact hundreds of results. you need to make sure all your paperwork is complete and lab is certified and so on because someone might say that results are legally invalid

the process is a bit more involved, samples need tracking and monitoring and storage and preparation, and if it’s like you describe then guy’s sketchy and won’t survive audit

to run drug tests you need six figure range machine (when new), maybe 5 euro worth of plastic (spe column, eppendorfs, pipette tips), couple ml of acetonitrile and maybe 10min of machine time. it can run 24/7 and if you find anything you can do more detailed analysis. bro’s not earning shit, he’s paying down the machines (and maintenance)

propaganda and advertising is one and the same https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pravda_network

it’s a flow battery, so it keeps charge basically indefinitely (when not in use energy-bearing parts are separated). you can run it as hard as you need and it will not degrade in use-dependent way, at least not as hard as lead or lithium batteries

to elaborate on durability, there’s no capacity loss with these batteries. so if design intention is to run these batteries from full to empty and back every day, and maybe a bit more* they can handle it no problem, because everything that happens, happens in liquid phase that can’t degrade. lithium battery will degrade fast with such usage, but this one won’t. on balance, there’s need for pump and electrolyser maintenance, but at least you won’t need to rip apart everything and replace all batteries every 3 years. per kwh per year of use it might be cheaper this way

* they might want this battery to provide energy in the morning, before solar panels kick in, soak up excess energy from noon peak, then discharge it in the evening. that might be 500ish cycles per year, and they can run it at full tilt

it might be that one of your drug-metabolizing enzymes doesn’t work properly, tell your doc, there are tests for that

well that you can’t tell good from bad is a skill issue on your part then

inshallah in five years all of this horseshit will be distant fever dream memory

flights to east asia are much more expensive from europe, and the cheapest ones were with stopover in one of gulf countries (qatar or uae generally) now you can get direct lufthansa flight over polar circle, but you’ll pay

that’s gonna be wework on meth

good luck with picking and choosing after brainrot as a service does irreparable damage

there was a time when anthropic models would refuse any question related to medicine. not because they care that hard, mind you. it’s because that bloated startup is ran by cultists and they were worried that chatbot will come up with a bioweapon

after 2022 they shat their pants and bought threema license specifically to avoid it, and now migrated from that to matrix (this app)

the few who will stay sharp will have endless job security

yeah it’s element-x

on-prem matrix instead of slack? literally 1984

i doubt that any national comms authority will want to have anything in common with nostr. big point of this thing seems to be that it’s on-prem (or at least in country) and with tightly controlled access

other countries already use matrix for similar purposes (france, germany, estonia) army had their own deployment on similar terms (on-prem, controlled registration)

users [can] retain access to messages even after logging out of the platform

This sounds great. Nothing bad could happen here. I’m sure the people developing this are competent.

the article says:

Further, if users want to retain access to messages even after logging out of the platform, they must set up a recovery key, which the installation manual suggests storing in a password manager.

this is standard matrix thing. if you log out of matrix and don’t do that, you’re greeted with Unable to decrypt message after next login. this is because it’s on-prem matrix instance (or instances) with mandatory 2fa (freeotp is an option) and registration process tying matrix identity to national id, and it’s intended only for public administration internal use. you can’t just walk up and register you have to work there, and as their threat model is about phishing, this does make sense
