Says it in the article:

The discovery of the missing data from the budget airline's Boeing 737-800 jet's crucial final minutes was surprising and suggests all power, including backup, may have been cut, which is rare.

I would argue poo would be the opposite of a higher tier material like gold. Spit maybe?

Khan academy got me through the end of high school and engineering. It really made the concepts a lot more understandable than the lecturers.

If it's content is still up to scratch, I hope it's getting the recognition it deserves!

The headline makes no sense to me and the article crosses over 2 problems in the energy transition.

Microsoft is only involved in purchasing the power, not the facility itself. In my understanding, that means that Constellation is the only party here involved in the government backed loan. Noting also that the loan itself is not malicious, nor is its use to restart the facility - if nuclear facilities should not be funded or have any special tax status then that should have been considered in the government's legislation.

The 2nd part about the power from the plant going to grid, and not to Microsoft's data centres directly is a known issue which close to all companies exploit by buying green certificates which I understand are currently done monthly in some areas. That means we do not trace that each electron provided to a user was from renewables, instead we aggregate that a company (via purchasing "green" certificates) shows that enough "green" electricity, anywhere on a connection, was produced to cover their usage for that month. This has nothing to do with Microsoft, their data centres, or this facility in general but is currently being dealt with. It will be clear in the power purchasing agreement how much power Microsoft will purchase from the facility directly and how it is delivered.

Am I missing something?

And no, I don't think nuclear power is overly helpful given the exorbitant cost, time and waste aspects

Some apps are not available in my Google store due to geoblocking. Can aurora circumvent this? Or is it a front end of the "local" google play store?

I do not understand why German mobile data is so heinously expensive!

E.g. in Austria https://www.hot.at/tarife.html

I don't applaud this as an uplifting environmental story, but maybe an entrepreneurial one. *Many existing brooms are made of plastic anyway so it's not more detrimental than a current solution.

Either way it smells of a "don't worry about plastic pollution, this dude will turn it into brooms :)" type jig.

*Edited to clarify many brooms are plastic, before someone jumps on and starts throwing straw brooms at me :)

School systems are state controlled, so it may vary across the country but all schools I know require a purchases uniform. This is additional to any school fees or other material costs, and must be bought at the school's uniform shop.

Everyone arguing dumb things here because of a dumb title. Pronounce = how it phonetically sounds, Nickname = alternative or shortened name. They are not synonyms :)

We (Arsenal) are going to draw Bayern in the round of 16 and the nonce will score to send us out and I will cry.

In many cases, I agree, but this comment definitely isn't true for those with mental illness etc. I would argue it's a matter of perspective, and not all aspects of perspective can be changed on a whim.
