It’s incorrect. I would comparing to fuel consumption in a car based on how many times you turned. If you make more turns on your way, it would seem your car is more efficient, when in reality there’s very little relation between turns and fuel usage, just like there is little relation between number of blocks mined and transactions.
False. Mining is what uses electricity (and water) in bitcoin, not transactions. Adding more transactions does not add to the cost. Calculating consumption per transaction is misleading as the two are not related.
What does add to the cost is complexity, and complexity is calculated based on number of miners in the network in order to achieve the sweet spot of 1 block every 10 mins (if i remember correctly). If there’s a lot of competition, each miner will have to use more electricity to win.
But does it account for manufacturing of the plastic cards, delivering it to the user, and the added expense of the extra weight when carrying it around? /s

Nokia n95 is a smartphone, not a dumb phone. It has Symbian OS, you can install apps, copy/paste, browse internet. I used to have the 8gb one, it has more capabilities than the first iPhone.
Smartphones used to have a different purpose than they do now. Just because it doesn’t have a querty keyboard, doesn’t mean it’s not a smartphone. Just look at the first iPhone, it’s just as useless, it didn’t even have the ability to install apps (imo it’s a must for smartphones) , yet hardly anyone will dispute whether it was a smartphone.
I never used N75, but i had n95, and they’re both running Symbian OS so I assume they were similar at least in software. I had full website browsing (made faster thanks to opera mini), email, file manager. I also had third party apps like Skype, Google maps (doesn’t matter whether you have gps), Gmail. If that’s not a smartphone then I don’t know what is.
Even the wiki you linked to clearly defines it as a smartphone. Why would you argue with that?
That may be your opinion, but if you follow my Wikipedia link, it says it’s a smartphone, so I’m not even going to argue. Wikipedia has a widely accepted definition of a smartphone.
In a surprising move, Apple has announced today that it will adopt the RCS (Rich Communication Services) messaging standard. The feature will launch via a software update “later next year” and bring a wide range of iMessage-style features to messaging between iPhone and Android users....
It would be very dangerous, yes. I would not count it as “attempted murder” dangerous as yes, there are ways to restart the engines mid flight by windmilling. Depending on altitude the pilots will have time to restart the engines, or glide into an emergency landing.

But the one that hasn’t paid does not have the same amount of external insulation. See the thickness of “paint”, it’s not just paint, it’s insulation layer commonly used to improve thermal efficiency of a building.
Still, he’ll benefit from heat raising from the apartment below, it’s those above him that are worse off because the heat will escape through his walls.
Sure cars have all the safety features for people on the inside, but on a bike you’re exposed to much slower speeds and better field of view. Bike accidents have much smaller fatality rate than car accidents.
Unless of course you mean cycling among cars is less safe, but that argument just confirms that cars are unsafe, not bikes. Bikes are not dangerous. Cars are.

However on the other hand, most popular European airline boasts much lower numbers. I wonder how they achieved this figure.
Ryanair already has the lowest CO2 emissions per passenger/km of any major airline in Europe (66g) and by switching to Ryanair, passengers can now further reduce their CO2 emissions.
On one occasion i had to take over a task from a colleague while he was on his day off. He did not push his changes. I am sure he had backups but when i asked him to push his changes he had to drive home to do it.
Sqlite is nice and fast. I think the only disadvantage is you can’t connect to it from multiple processes or machines, so scalability goes out the window.
The electric infrastructure is the whole grid. I’d argue apartment complex are better prepared for the increased power use than a gas station and is more convenient a location than gas station.
What are you going to do while waiting for your car to charge? At least at home you can go… home. Shopping centres are a close second. You can do your shopping while you’re charging. Parking spaces and grid are already there.
