The hedging cost should be part of the fee?
It actually sounds like the van’s panels (I’m guessing especially the large roof panel) can provide non-trivial power:
“Even if I’m stuck somewhere we just have to wait a couple of hours and it’ll self charge and bring me home.” (emphasis added)
No doubt the huge array of panels on his roof can give it a lot more juice though!
Yeah the titles from ABC News are generally… not my personal choice these days, but I guess they feel the need to play whatever the title game is.
Did you actually read through the article, or are you just assuming the contents based on the (admittedly mildly clickbait-y) title?
Covid, yes, but not widespread lockdowns (and some other stuff from the “early covid” period) which is basically what the article is reflecting on. For example, I hadn’t really thought about how it could affect child social development due to significantly reduced social exposure.
This isn’t really a “covid is over” piece. ‘It’s still a serious human pathogen’ wouldn’t be a sub-heading if it was.
Good stuff, sometimes aggressive measures need to be taken to look out for the interest of the shareholders. Plus the fuel discount is a perfectly timed Christmas gift, exactly what Australia needs in a cost of living crisis. Bravo Woolies, very proud to have my superannuation invested in a company that cares!
In this experiment, external funding is paying for the handouts.
In a self-contained system, the same system/community providing the handouts would be generating the revenue for them (e.g., via taxation). Think of existing social welfare where “the system” generates the revenue that pays for the welfare programs.
I agree it’s a useful insight, but it’s the only sentence in the entire article that isn’t instead discussing the merits of lump sum vs regular payment. Saying that “it’s the takeaway” from the linked article is insanity.
The Wikipedia page for Hitler includes the sentence:
The stock market in the United States crashed on 24 October 1929.
That doesn’t make it the takeaway of the article!! If you want to make a case for something, bring the right evidence. As the researchers themselves have said, this study can’t just be generalized to high-income countries.
A couple of personal highlights:
Finding optimal CO values that are long-term stable across all workloads (namely: idle) is such an enormous PITA though X_X

Welcome to the statistically-likely club!
Regarding Fedia.io, it’s currently inaccessible as I’m working with developers to debug the problems and sadly symfony exposes way too much in debug mode
Based on what I’ve heard from kbin instance admins (especially jerry, the owner of fedia.io, where I usually post from when not dealing with errors), it’s not an easy thing to keep running in its current state. I imagine if you instance hop sub-100 user kbin instances many of them will end up shutting down or having inactive owners.
For example, feddit.online is kbin instance #6 by user count (yet it’s still <100!) and has announced they’re shutting down in a couple of months: https://feddit.online/m/feddit/t/66403/SERVER-GOING-AWAY-ON-NOV-26th
To have a stable instance experience without going with a large instance you might have better luck with another AP platform as your home base, whether Lemmy or something else entirely.
Not that it really matters much, but here’s the original version of the image: https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/photo/google-android-phone-characters-group-royalty-free-image/458243847
Based on my recollection of the PDS (remember that I read these 4 months ago), the cost of hedging is built into the fee shown in my table.
Afaik they’re not currently offering an unhedged version of these ones. The cost of hedging is pretty small in absolute terms though, for Blackrock’s other stuff I think it’s around 0.03% difference between the hedged/unhedged.
