I find Gemini to be too verbose in its responses.

It’s likely more to do with population density. Middle America is a lot less dense. If you look both Florida and Georgia have solar installs and are “red” states

Engineers are cost cutters. Half of engineering is making decisions on how to build within budget. Building within tolerances and not overly engineering things


Aging population means that many democracies will have more old than young voters. Couple that with the American culture of f you I’ve got mine, leads to a prioritization not on the future generations.


I think both found middle ground. In Java you don’t need to define the type of variables within the method. In Python people have learned types in method arguments is a good thing.


How would that solar power a DC at night or on a cloudy day? Energy storage isn’t cheap.


In 2025 it’s cheaper to demolish an operating coal plant and replace it with solar and battery, and prices are still dropping.


Why aren't all these businesses doing that then?


6% YoY is much higher than the 2-3% inflation target


Saved them more than 100k/year/worker


It’s a statement against a state, but the voices behind it are really referring to Jews in general. Their remark about hostages shows it. Why are there hostages in Gaza is due to actions from Hamas, not Israel.

More importantly ask yourself. Why is it that there’s not any meaningful quantity of Jews in Ireland, even though there’s larger numbers of Jews historically in nearby countries.

Ireland is a small windswept island country, which until the late 20th century had very little migration of any time (apart from a few cases of forced plantation). The vast majority of the country white Christians with a small population of Jews and even fewer ethnicities from out side of Europe. This Irish as a whole are not anti-semitic, but they are appalled by the fate that has befallen the people of Palestine.


It sounds as though you're trying to imply that there's some particular reason why there's not many Jews in Ireland, but it's largely historical. I'm in England and I haven't encountered many Jewish people over here despite us having far more cultural mixing than Ireland does.


Agreed. He was respectful of differing opinion, and encouraged diversity of thought. All Americans, from the left and right, should view this as a Fundimental aspect of a healthy democracy. We don't always need to agree, but if we cannot talk we are no longer an Nation.
