No, I'm saying infrastructure cost for 100% is the same as infrastructure cost for 100% . You can't build 10% as much fossil fuel infrastructure and expect it to carry 100% of the load when solar isn't working. And obviously

by Ajedi32 7mo ago
Yes, but if you need to have all that infrastructure anyway it no longer makes sense to compare the cost of solar+batteries with the cost of fossil fuels because you actually need to have both . If you compare the total cost of solar wit

The issue is that to achieve that you can't just build 90% solar plus 10% fossil fuels. You would need to build 100% solar + 100% fossil fuels for the 10% of the time solar doesn't work.

Maybe a law forcing disclosure of average heating/cooling bills in the listing would do the trick?

This meme where people liken electronics with tobacco is foolish. Smoking is physically harmful in any significant dose. Screens are perfectly fine in moderation and can even be beneficial when used correctly.

Agreed. I also don't think this should be in developer settings; it's kinda insulting to imply that only developers need to have full control of their own devices. Personally those two changes would mollify me somewhat, though the

Yes, some individuals such as children and the mentally disabled are genuinely incapable of making good decisions for themselves and need to have their freedoms restricted for their own good. That's not a good argument for treating eve

If it were just a matter of detecting changes to the DOM then this could only detect extensions that alter the LinkedIn website itself. I agree that would be much harder to make undetectable, but this seems like it goes beyond that.

`use_dynamic_url` seems like it should be enabled by default, maybe with a phase-out period for backwards compatibility with older extensions.

Still pretty annoying browsers haven't patched that yet.

LinkedIn is a job board so that seems unlikely.

I'm not sure what your point is. Everyone knew they were going to irrationally decide to threaten the ships of uninvolved third parties therefore it's not their fault for doing it? Ukraine is blocking Russian oil, not the oil of r

Traffic through the strait is certainly not "logistics traffic that feeds the enemy", unless Iran considers the entire world its enemy. Certainly high global oil prices affect the US just as they affect everyone, but these are not

Again, the issue here is not threatening harm against those threatening them, it's with threatening (and indeed, actively perpetuating) harm against uninvolved third parties. Punching back the guy who punched you? Understandable. Lobbi

by Ajedi32 7mo ago
I disagree. Besides, if a guy is making threats like that you should have the police come in to remove him, or maybe even SWAT if it's a credible deadly threat. Threatening harm to uninvolved third parties is not a tactic that should b

Iran doesn't own the strait. They don't have a right to close the bar in the first place. If one guy throws a punch and the other guy responds by throwing a molotov cocktail into the kitchen you don't charge the first guy wit

by Ajedi32 7mo ago
Blocking the strait is Iran's doing, not the US's. The US attacked them yes, but they were the ones who responded by threatening to blow up the ships of innocent third parties. They couldn't hurt the US, so they decided to hu

I don't think there's a ton of strategic value in on-shoring commodities unless your goal is to be able to take on the entire world at once. Commodities are commodities, you can get them almost anywhere so you're not dependen

What do you mean by due diligence here? Manually checking 2000 citations sounds a lot harder to me than just pulling the data from a reliable source to start with.

Everything you do or even just think about "rewires" your brain to some extent. The difference with addictive drugs is that they do so in a way that bypasses your brains' natural processes. The same cannot be said for "a

Yeah, people keep making the comparison to cigarettes but to me this is wildly different. Cigarettes directly cause physical harm and even death. Social media can sometimes, under certain circumstances, depending on who exactly you&#x27

Yes, I'm fully aware this is an extremely common problem. I'm just saying if the article adds nothing over the press release it's reporting on (and even actively removes important context) then we should just link to the pr

That's a different problem though. It's doing it on their behalf , not on behalf of a scammer who's impersonating them.

Yep, your post and this comment were hidden. I vouched for them so they're visible now. Good luck!

Having clear laws about what's allowed and what isn't is a lot cheaper than getting repeatedly sued for hundreds of millions for not doing things there was never a clear legal requirement to do.

Most cameras are also not queryable by any one person or organization. They are owned by different companies and if the government wants access they have to subpoena them after the fact. The problems start cropping up when you get things li

This seems plausible. Though I find "pay a full 1 billion dollars to the company" to be a very confusing way to frame this if this just returning a deposit the company put down in the first place. Would be more accurate to say the
